Hans Jonas's book on Gnosticism has some interesting excerpts about Hellenistic astrology.

Any books on how to escape Creation?
I don't want for my soul to be recycled after death (i.e. reincarnated after being stripped of all memory).

Pathetic humans, all your monuments shall crumble to dust and be forgotten. The Tower of Babel that you have created will fall - do not ever presume you can get rid of death, suffering and failure. Bow down before the eternal and unbending laws of the material universe, for they cannot be bargained with, nor changed on anyone's account.

Gnosis, the hidden knowledge about the real nature of the world. The creator would have you believe different, but his lies turned him into a biter. To convert is to place oneself in the mouth of falsehood; even to propitiate is to be swallowed. The enlightened are those uneaten by the world.

Simple: reincarnation makes suicide pointless. The Demiurge can't create more spirits to inhabit his imperfect material world, so he just recycles what he has. You are stripped of all your memories, and put back into another flesh bag.
The enlightened are those uneaten by the world.
