The word newly-emerged gnosticism is basically false and the correct idiom for addressing this issue is newly-emerged spirituality. If we want to investigate the issue more accurately, we must use the term new religious movement or new spiritualism.
Generally speaking, human being has passed three periods of time and now he is in the fourth civilization period:
The first period of time is the one before saint in which the early creeds and religions were making humane life meaningful. Then, it is the turn for this period of t time of traditional religions to dominate on various dimensions of humane community. Then, it is the time modernity and renaissance. During each three periods of time, we have had something called the great narration which has made humane lives meaningful.
The great narration which was making human life meaningful. Then, these myths were gradually getting systematic and forming religious inspirational or non-inspirational traditions. These traditions were making humane lives meaningful more in the west till renaissance. After renaissance and remarkable developments and the weakening of churches in the western world, science became community narration in great scale.
Then, we achieve world war I and II. Catastrophic phenomena happened in these wars This issue caused the community to become bored with science. People concluded that even science doesn’t make their affairs meaningful anymore This was the onset for Post Modernism.
The great narration of post modernism periods of time was that there isn’t any great narration anymore. So, this issue caused deep secularism to engage in the social spirit of modern human being.
The community of 1968 A.D. on was afflicted by a deep meaninglessness and needed meaning to be entered into its life. Exactly this time is the onset for the entrance of eastern Gnosticism such as Buddhism or Paganism into America.
Traditional and religious foundations like Islam or Christianity couldn’t adapt themselves with modern movement due to various reasons and to communicate with society. These religious traditions confronted with problems of modern human being in an inflexible manner – issues such as abortion, gender, marriage and etc. An issue strengthened newly-emerged spiritualties because these spiritualties destroy all these problems due to teachings and the method of reading meaning.
However, the emergence of the Islamic Revolution in 20th century and its quite Islamic nature brought about various consequences in the domain of Gnosticism and spirituality for human being. Once again, the spirit of Islam and the Islamic spirituality were mentioned extensively and this issue was posed that a religion which can create transformation and can destroy a tyrant and west oriented government and can also create a new foundation of social, cultural, economic and political domains definitely possessing deep gnostic teachings.
In 1990 A.D. when Fukuyama, the liberal and western theorist posed the theory of end of history, the pure Shia Muhammadan (P.H.) Islam could make this theory null.
The Islamic school has been able to confront against tyranny headed by the savage western civilization and the great Satan, America and the universal Zionism via the supreme moralities to challenge them culturally, morally and even in military cases.
Those who made Bahaism in Shia Islam and Wahhabism among Sunnis for transformation of the pure Islam, but the Shia pure Islam has been able to destroy these deviant cults and to provide the backgrounds and facilities for the emergence of the Excellency Mahdi (P.H.).
