But there is a form Christianity that takes an entirely different approach, called Gnosticism. For followers of Gnosticism, communion with God is a subjective, individualized experience that involves coming to know God by coming to know one's self. If you can see arrive at the most primal truths about yourself, then God is waiting there to meet you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeedless to say, this belief is a classic example of \"heresy\" in that it differs from nearly all orthodox doctrines. \"The Heretic's UFO Guidebook\" offers an analysis of several of the Gnostic scriptures discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945.
