After giving the matter a great deal of thought, I've Decided to pursue the Priesthood. There is a great need of Gnostic Temples, Gnostic Priests, and Bishops. The Golden Age of Gnosticism is before us.
After practicing ceremonial magic for quite some time. I have come to enjoy the ceremonies and rituals. I understand the need for such things, to awaken the inner being that resides deep inside, to help connect with the universal mind.
Blessed be the Source.
Now ... it seems ... the next step on my journey to gnosis, is to seek the authority to perform the Sacraments. Maybe, to some, this step along the path might seem to be un-needed, but my studies to this point shows the importance of initiation as a logical step from one level of understanding to the next. Also I seek the knowing that would be imparted by the oral tradition (secret school) of the priesthood (assuming that I am able to find a "knowing Bishop").
I look forward to posting my sermons here, and readers who are attracted here are encouraged to comment.
My studies have begun to open my eyes, and I can feel the gnosis within reach. As though I am in a dark room, and the door is ajar, and the light is promissing to fill the room ... exciting.

There are many avenues open to someone in your position. For example the EG has a great program. They do not however have distance learning so you would need to move close to an existing parish. You would not be the first to do so. The AJC also has a seminary program and accepts a small number of students per year. In The Gnostic Church of St. Mary Magdalene each of the Bishops takes on as many students as they chose and the formation process will vary from student to student. The Home Temple Priesthood is a good program. It isn't Gnostic per se, but and I would have to call it more Esoteric Christian but from what I understand the program is good. The Liberal Catholic Church is another option for someone seeking ordination with valid apostolic succession. All of these churches would fall under the general heading of Independent Catholicism.

Many thanks ... I seem to be attracted to the Bishops Keizer Home Temple program.
After researching the topic, I find a great gravity in the message put forth by the Home Temple.
May the Source be with you ...
