Vita Secunda

Vita Secunda, meaning "Second Life" in Latin, is a philosophical and spiritual concept found in Gnostic and mystical traditions. It refers to a higher, inner awakening or spiritual renewal that occurs after one has come to know their true, divine nature. This second life involves gaining inner insight beyond physical existence, often through inner reflection, enlightenment, or spiritual practices. It emphasizes a transformation or rebirth within the soul, leading to greater understanding, harmony, and connection with the divine or universal truth, ultimately guiding individuals toward their true purpose beyond the material world.
