Synopsis

Secret Quest is an enlightening three-part series by The Gnostic Movement that traces the emergence of Christian Gnosticism from the times of Jesus to the present day. From the Gnostic gospels banned in ancient times with their mysterious teachings from Jesus, to the Medieval Alchemists and their quest to transform lead into gold, Gnostics have been custodians of the secret keys to enlightenment throughout the ages, and often faced fierce persecution.

This series is about their eternal quest. It is a quest which has always existed yet has been known by few, but has never truly died out. Those who discovered it have been called Gnostics. Their name derives from the Greek word Gnosis, referring to a hidden knowledge that comes not from intellectual pursuit, but through direct spiritual experience and personal contact with Divinity.

In this three-part series, you will discover an inner spiritual journey at the heart of human destiny that has inspired spiritual seekers throughout the ages. You will learn about the hidden keys to take up this quest, for something beyond the imagination, beyond theories and beliefs and beyond anything the mind could conceive that is Gnosis, hidden in the unknown is waiting to be discovered.
