In the Western Mystery Tradition, Shakti-Pat is the ‘laying on of hands’–connected also, to the phenomena known as the ‘Wandering Bishops.’ These semi-mythical Gnostic bishops are said to be the one who transmitted the Light of the Gnosis from time immemorial through to today. Gnosis doesn’t recognize authority in its churches, but rather generates authenticity as it reaches out to foster genius in its congregations.
