En este libro, Hernán Castro cuenta su historia como enfermo de Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA). Luego de atravesar las distintas etapas de la enfermedad, el autor llegó a una instancia de inmovilidad absoluta –con excepción de los párpados. Gracias a un sistema de comunicación que él mismo creó, puede estar en contacto con su entorno y así fue que, letra por letra, parpadeando, escribió este libro. “Antes de amigarme entrañablemente con la ELA era un típico neurótico, un ser insoportable, egoísta, quejoso, insatisfecho y en la búsqueda incesante del progreso material. La enfermedad trajo consigo despojarme de todo aquello innecesario. Hoy disfruto únicamente de las cosas más sencillas, inadvertidas y poco relevantes. No pretendo ser consejero, como un autor de libro de autoayuda, ni sermonear como rabino, cura o pastor, que muchas veces carecen de autoridad moral y de experiencia suficiente. En tal sentido creo tener prerrogativa y el derecho a brindar un sencillo asesoramiento a los destinatarios de este libro. Formularé una simple pregunta: Usted, ¿es feliz? Solo caben dos respuestas posibles.” Hernán A. Castro

Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.
