Depending which books of his you're reading, certain themes resurface over and over again (such as e.g. the immateriality, simplicity, eternality of God, and other metaphysical things like that). It's not like a math book where you have to completely understand each page before moving to the next. Rather, Aquinas knows you aren't gonna understand everything on the first read, and he writes accordingly: so, you can just read and let it slowly seep into you, almost like meditating.

>Where do I start with gnosticism
Nag Hammadi library, but read with scholarly detachment. The Gospel of Thomas is the most important of them I would say
