Sounds wonderful! While I have zero direct access to this Sacred Medicine, I am eager to one fine day embrace experiences with it. Patience is a virtue? Although, I always end up entering the same state of Savikalpa Samadhi, regardless of the entheogen involved but 5 MeO-DMT sounds like a more immediate pathway. While part of me can't wait to delve into this experience, all things come in their own good time, right? So on a day to day basis, the sadhana flows along. Meditation freely allows for a gradual encounter and this is most surely because where the psychedelic finishes it's magical teaching, the effects of several decades of continued sadhana blooms in crystalline resplendence.
Buddhist, Jain and Taoist teachings do negate a creator god, while adhering to a non-dual theology... but I feel that such conceptual decrees and negation of Divinity are more or less superfluous, especially when seen from the contradictory angle that Buddhists, Jains and Taoists simply substitute "God" for Buddha Nature, Self or The Eternal Tao. Ritualism still presides. Subject and object, seeking and sought, still remain divided in the minds of the majority of it's practitioners. Only when there is no difference at all between this and that, is a true experience of non-dualism spontaneously seen. I believe that the seeker and that being sought dissolve within such absolute quietude. In silent refrain we illuminate the pathway. :thumb_up:
There is a huge misnomer that Gnostics were "super atheists". Sure, some were atheists, some theists, some agnostic.... much like our community. But the notion of Gnosis or direct experience, the immediacy of interphase and immersion into the source of a special kind of knowledge and knowing is itself, far beyond the realm of the senses, instinct, logical deduction, blind faith and intuition... is transcendental in nature, yet, accessible through the eclipsing of Isoself and Godself (The Omniself).
I will reiterate the importance of the link that joedirt posted in 2011: http://gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/introductory-information/12-what-is-gnosis.html
This will perhaps clear up some personal biases and misconceptions about Gnosticism being synonymous with atheism or even pantheism. It is to some, it is not to others. When is mind becomes still and all conceptual labeling vanishes along with one's isolated witnessing of one's Gnostic immersion, as it doesn't even matter, only the revelation as direct Gnosis does. 
It can justifiably be seen from your vantage point but any verbal translation is simply an effort to put into wording what cannot be spoken of with any modicum of success. But we do contemplate, pass into immersion or direct Gnosis and then return to converse about the immense shift in attention. Life is more than just sky-high trance states and practical immobility... it is direct action and interaction. It's the seamless fusion of the Supreme Godhead and the reflectional reality emanating out if itself, shimmering beatifically right here & now, unfolding within this very living, breathing moment of pure beingness.
Sakyamuni had to rise above Mara's temptations, as each entity must, in their own fashion. Mara is the veil which gravitationally obscures truth of said illusionary imaginings. All is Brahman. Despite the appearance, the absolute resides within the relative, the infinite cloaks itself as the finite and the eternal dances throughout the temporal universe at large. Paradoxically, the Multiversal expression is symbolically, also the Omniversal expression, so appearing to us as the myriad forms perceivable within duality. Hence the term "illusion" is utilized by theists and scientists alike. Now, I might have used the Sanskrit word "Maya"... but it is far less adaptable to our modern vistas, seen by the mainstream of our fellowship, one widened by quantum physics and such recent understanding.Thus, Maya is Atman is Brahman. Self is God and God is the All-in-All (Allah, if you will).
Einstein himself chose to use the word illusion and he was no fool to do so. Maya, mirage, dreamscape or illusion... is simply the nature of subjectively witnessed appearances and seeming divisions betwixt this and that. The true God is Omniscient and there is no other. So, we are essentially saying the same thing with different wording? Coloring the clear light to our own fancy. I see no real difference nor any major, inherent contradictions, just human semantics and the effects of discussing conceptions with one another. You say potatoes, I say potatos... you say, tomatoes, I say tomatos. 
Technically, in traditional Vedic thought, this reality we share on earth together is the material plane of consciousness. This is the realm of the finite, perceivable through the physical senses. And yes, it is "reflectional", agreed. Sequentially, it logically follows specific laws of causation and this includes unfolding as creation and weaving the physical manifestation from the ineffable to the quantifiable. The only differences are those of subtlety in their state of seeming dichotomy. I am pleasantly reminded of my favorite quote by Dr. William James, "There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference."
Above/within this frequency of material vibration (the world) exists the ethereal translucency of the astral plane and beyond/withing that realm of astral vibration exists the uber-subtle causal plane. Divine intelligence at play. Beyond and within this is the epicenter, the indivisible nature of consciousness and this is what I believe "God" truly is. The opposite nature of Maya, or illusion to some, presents a division of subject and object. Where there exists no differentiation, is the reality of the Indivisible field of Brahman. This does dramatically change our perception of the dreamlike divisions between the material, astral, causal and wholly non-dual frequencies of perceptual dynamics. Ergo, all is one without a second. Tat Tvam Asi.
Agreed! By direct interphase with the Sacred Web of Being, moving and not moving lose any distinction. Attachment to differentiation, measuring our perception as the certainty of reality is the essence of this mortal paradigm, right?
All is irrefutably one... and this is neither New Age nor Neo-Advaitan belief... it is quintessential reality on it's own terms. Here I feel that we are both speaking the same language. Moreover, It is what it is.
Again, I wholly agree. This is clearly expressed, as I sincerely wrote earlier, herein:
"When the attention is so affixed, one's separate identity becomes most unreal and all that is perceivable to the witness of this grand play is the subtlest presence within oneself, radiating as oneself, a spark, a mirrored reflection, a begging-less and endless echoing of the Unified Field of Being, itself resplendently blooming anew. Ergo, without any limiting boundary to one's soul's parameters, all divisions and degrees of separation from anything else, essentially melt back into the formless Void, the wholly unmanifested frequency of the Godhead in it's most ineffable state. Life hums along. The Tao doing what it does for no reason other than it spontaneously does what it does (or does it really and did it ever?).
