The invention of the demiurge was a (successful) attempt to discredit true gnostic principles by throwing in a retarded cosmology.

I agree, true gnosis is the ability to see past true/false and good/evil

As we are the line that seperates.

Gnosis shouldn't even be taught as a religion in the first place imo, but more of a perspective philosophy.

You're almost exactly wrong. Gnosticism is all about the fundamental duality of existence, good and evil, spirit and body. Gnosis is the knowledge that allows one to see clearly with the spiritual eye what is unclear with the natural. It is enlightenment. It is to know, while others merely believe. Jesus spoke of it, accusing the scribes and Pharisees of "[taking] away the key of knowledge [gnosis]". They lacked proper spiritual discernment, focusing on the letter rather than the spirit, a mistake the true gnostic does not make.
I agree with you that it is more a philosophy than a religion, though. The demiurge/Sophia/archon/Pleroma cosmolog of it may be religious but that bit can and should be discarded.

But, it's fun to create mythical opposition to personal growth. Let the Valentinians have their fun.

Sorry but you are wrong.

Reality is not subjective to truth or falsity, infact it's the other way around.

Good/Evil is completely subjective to ones current place in life, and the perspectives on all others things, which is objective only to the reality the exist in(which is seen subjectively)

>Gnosis is the knowledge that allows one to see clearly with the spiritual eye what is unclear with the natural. It is enlightenment.
Is exactly what I've described.

Gnosis is not only Christian in value.

>T. Someone who has actually been enlightened.

I literally just proved how seeing through good/evil is using your third eye, IE the objective reality.

Seeing is not acting, Gnosis also allows one to pick how they want to play their role.


Bad people can still be enlightened. Which is depicted by the fall of Lucifer.
