All objects have a mind to some degree (I mean that in the dualist sense, literally *having* a mind that interfaces with matter, and not matter itself being a sort of dense mind). Pretty much every object in space large enough to have a name is large and highly ordered enough to have a mind. Asteroids aren't commonly imagined to be "highly ordered" (think extreme low order: a pile of sand; extreme high order: computers. even higher would be biological systems) but the standard model asserts asteroids are the pieces of a broken planet or left overs from the stellar nebula. This is incorrect, most of them are ejecta from stars. Anyway, nearly all large space objects have a nervous system-like ion channels that "give" them minds on par with if not more advanced than humans'. Think Gaia theory but instead of the biosphere being a sort of super organism the literal rock of the Earth is it's own organism (I guess that makes us more a kind of microbiota). The classical planets have already know to have Planetary Intelligences and Spirits. Uranus, Neptune, and the Keplar belt dwarfs have such a thing but they are not communicable due to their distance. The asteroid belt, the moons of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and comets (when they get close enough) also have such a thing, and are communicable.

Gnosticism is a product of it's time and location where Gnostics were as utterly convinced of the reality of the Old Testament God as the rest of the Judaic Christian population, but had come to different conclusions. Modern Gnostics are without fail just atheists that want to be anti-Christian and/or antisemitic in an obscurer way.
