Fue fundada en la década de los sesenta en Colombia a partir de las enseñanzas de un líder "carismático" y "mesiánico" que se presentaba como poseedor y revelador de un "conocimiento trascendental", capaz de encarnar una fuerza impersonal interior o "Cristo", para la reintegración de la esencia al "Dios Interior o Absoluto". Este artículo se centra en la fundación, fragmentación inicial y antecedentes doctrinales de este movimiento.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[The Universal Christian Gnostic Movement of Colombia was a worldwide esoteric organization which became the axis of multiple neo-gnostic institutions relevant inside Colombia and abroad. One of them kept its name till today. It was founded in the 70's in Colombia following the teachings of a "charismatic" and "messianic" leader who presented himself as been gifted with a revealing "transcendental knowledge", able to incarnate an impersonal force or "Christ", destined to reintegrate the essence into an "Interior or Absolute God". This article deals with the foundation, initial fragmentation and the doctrinal background of this movement.]]></p></abstract>
