Gnosis

There are different passages in the Bible related to Gnosis. The concept of Gnosis is philosophical, in religion is called to receive the Holy Spirit.
Consider the following texts: "In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at night and God said:" Ask what you want". Solomon replied:"Give therefore to your servant, a heart that knows how to listen, to judge his people, and discern between good and evil ".... and God said ...." I give you a wise and understanding heart "1 Kings 3: 9
In this case God is not offering, God is asking to Solomon what he wants most. Because what is asked first is what is most wanted.
Solomon ask to God, the sacred listening, Solomon ask the capacity to do the good through the good judgment. In other words when the desire for the good prevails three spiritual gifts arises: spiritual gift of wisdom, good discernment and spiritual gift of knowledge.
In the Gospels there is another text related with this dialogue between God and Solomon: "Everyone will be salted with fire". Mark 9:49
The salt in the Gospels represents the wisdom of God, the salt like the wisdom has his own flavor. Ask to God a change of heart, to receive the Holy Spirit means to receive the taste for wisdom.
The fire represent the Holy Spirit, the energy of God, Jesus promise the Holy Spirit to the disciples..
Let's see the pasage of Pentecost in Acts of the Apostle 2:
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit.
