A conjunction of the prefix "Xeno", and the suffix "Gnosis".
Xeno (based on the Greek word "Xenos", meaning stranger). In biology, it is often used to designate species-difference, such as xenotransplantation (transplantation between organisms of different species). In science fiction it has been used to refer to extraterrestrial life.
Gnosis (from one of the Greek words for knowledge, γνῶσις) is the spiritual knowledge of a saint or mystically enlightened human being. In the cultures of the term (Byzantine and Hellenic) gnosis was a special knowledge or insight into the infinite, divine and uncreated in all and above all, rather than knowledge strictly into the finite, natural or material world which is called Epistemological knowledge. Gnosis is a transcendental as well as mature understanding. It indicates direct spiritual experiential knowledge and intuitive knowledge, mystic rather than that from rational or reasoned thinking. Gnosis itself is obtained through understanding at which one can arrive via inner experience or contemplation such as an internal epiphany of intuition and external epiphany such as the Theophany.
The conjunction may refer to a state of ontological enlightenment, an awareness of one's metaphysical existence. That which is alienated from the perceived three dimensions of reality. Although being mistaken from a naturalist perspective as subjective theorization, it is backed by scientific evidence relating to the study of quantum mechanics.
