Does /lit/ have a gnosticism reading list?

I went from Catholic to atheist to Gnostic to atheist. It's all nonsense. There's nothing divine out there.

It really is. The mythology and concepts are still interesting, though. But that's all they are: ideas.

It definitely is on the right track but it still defines itself against something that shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

Indeed. I could shake my fist at the anti-material hatred of the world that crept into gnostic thought by way of its main vector, Christianity, but recommending something positive and constructive does more good. Gnosticism is "on to something" because it absorbed Neoplatonism, which is the foundation of all serious western and western-adjacent metaphysics.
Start with the big names of Neoplatonism OP:
