Anoetic Gnosis

Anoetic is a word that is defined thusly:

An`o`et´ic

a.	1.	Unthinkable.
	2.	(Psychol.) Not subject to conscious attention; having an indefinite, relatively passive, conscious being; characteristic of the "fringe" or "margin" of consciousness. Presentation considered as having an existence relatively independent of thought, may be called sentience, or anoetic consciousness. Thought and sentience are fundamentally distinct mental functions. - G. F. Stout.

I contend that the root word, anoesis:

anoesis

n. Psychology, mere reception of impressions without understanding or intellectual effort.

If one breaks down the word to "noesis" you have the same pronounciation of gnosis.  This is for all practical purposes the closest definition to gnosis you can get to. 

The Ecstoicism of Zos vel Thanatos

The Ecstoic has no fear of reincarnation, karme, 'last judgements', nor of the earth itself giving way beneath his feet.  If he is injured - it is acquittance.  His sole effort is to do no injury to others.  He is acceptive of Nature and mainly negative to Man.  He faces life and death with open eyes, and if he seeks suicide as relief for a while, he goes forth to meet death with a smile knowing he will come again.  How cautious he is in doing good - delicately, like a funambulist.  He has no morals, beliefs, or ideals that are not tactual to life, possibility, and human nature thus heaven and hell are within his hand.  He neither parays, begs, nor borrows (if possible), but works be the sweat of his mind and body, therefore why should he pray - or prey?  He expects nothing for nothing yet often gives.  He is too proud to believe merely for rewards - or punishments.  He acts and believes in the way he considers wise and healthy: neither Devils nor Gods, or his Ids, can corrupt him.  If he seeks sanctuary, he is tired, unfit to accept unequal gods, be he always comes back...
