I think I'm pretty much done exploring Gnosticism (for now). I've got a pretty good working-knowledge of the concept, the classical sects, and a great deal of the Neo-Gnostic movement. I find that the world-view of the Gnostics are a bit too outdated (and even contradictory) for me, even through the contemporary Jungian lens. I also don't agree with the complete aloofness of the Pleroma and the fallen female aspect of it.
I DO agree with the concept of gnosis, so that's probably going to be a permanent part of my spiritual make-up. I also agree with the Alexandrine spirit. Alexandria was once a mutlicultural and multi-faith city that housed one of the greatest libraries ever assembled.
So, as always, I must keep plugging along until I find a road to walk down. A wonderful Greek word, aporia... It literally translates to 'roadlessness'.
So yeah. There's some useless information for you.
