Hyperventilation and holding your breath is simply triggering more endorphins into your system which causes you pleasure. It's also known as erotic asphyxiation-not Gnosis.

Hahha...we are not talking about hanging ourselves and getting an erection here, Brother Minos. Holding breath til asphyxia is dangerous. You might as well have someone rope and choke neck while performing a ritual.

Now, back in the old days, often they used pain to knock themselves out to another state. I guess that would be equivalent as getting high and seeing things in the mirror, but I do not recommend such practice.

Okay, back to the topic. What is the State of Gnosis? Anyone wants to elaborate on that?

The word gnosis (from the Greek word for knowledge, γνώσις) refers to a Hellenic philosophical term for knowledge. It is also used to mean a form of spiritual knowledge that is more commonly familiar to people as enlightenment though, the Greek word for enlightenment is διαφωτισθούν which would be closer to the word informed rather than knowledge.
