From The Restored New Testament: The Hellenic Fragments, Freed From the Pseudo-Jewish Interpolations, Harmonized, and Done Into English Verse and Prose With Introductory Analyses, and Commentaries by James Morgan Pryse:
“Thus Plato [...] any one who does not possess the key to the zodiacal language; and this is also true of most of the sacred writings of antiquity.
The point where the arcane system sharply diverges from all the conventional schools of thought is in the means of acquiring knowledge.
To make this clear, Plato's analysis of the four faculties of the soul, with their four corresponding degrees of knowledge, may be taken. (Rep. vi. 511.)
Tabulated, it is as follows:
THE VISIBLE, SENSUOUS WORLD
- Εἰκασία Eikasia, perception of images, } δόξα doxa, opinion, illusory knowledge.
- Πίστις Pistis, faith, psychic groping, } δόξα doxa, opinion, illusory knowledge.
THE INTELLIGIBLE, SUPRASENSUOUS WORLD
- Διάνοια Dianoia, philosophic reason, } γνῶσις gnosis, ἐπιστήμη episteme, wisdom, true knowledge.
- Νόησις Noesis, direct cognition, } γνῶσις gnosis, ἐπιστήμη episteme, wisdom, true knowledge.”
