Gnostics are still around everywhere they are a plague on society. Most of our secret societies manipulating people today have the same roots as Gnosticism.

This whole theme had been played out for thousands of years. Weird religion claiming secret knowledge, life is a simulation, you can achieve godhood via gnosis/meditation/enlightenment. Seems to be an elaborate religion to justify any action on earth because earth is a meaningless prison that you can transcend out of.
It’s weird nihilistic mysticism that makes Freemasons dicks hard.
The origins of Gnosticism are obscure and still disputed. The proto-orthodox Christian groups called Gnostics a heresy of Christianity,[note 13][18] but according to the modern scholars the theology's origin is closely related to Jewish sectarian milieus and early Christian sects.[1][19][note 14][20] Scholars debate Gnosticism's origins as having roots in Neoplatonism and Buddhism , the due to similarities in beliefs
According to James M. Robinson, no gnostic texts clearly pre-date Christianity,[note 15] and "pre-Christian Gnosticism as such is hardly attested in a way to settle the debate once and for all."[22] However, the Nag Hammadi library contained Hermetic teachings that can be argued go back to the Old Egyptian Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BC).[23]
Contemporary scholarship largely agrees that Gnosticism has Jewish Christian origins, originating in the late first century AD in nonrabbinical Jewish sects and early Christian sects
Neoplatonic influencesEdit

In the 1880s Gnostic connections with neo-Platonism were proposed.[34] Ugo Bianchi, who organised the Congress of Messina of 1966 on the origins of Gnosticism, also argued for Orphic and Platonic origins.[26] Gnostics borrowed significant ideas and terms from Platonism,[35] using Greek philosophical concepts throughout their text, including such concepts as hypostasis (reality, existence), ousia (essence, substance, being), and demiurge (creator God). Both Sethian Gnostics and Valentinian Gnostics seem to have been influenced by Plato, Middle Platonism, and Neo-Pythagoreanism academies or schools of thought.[36] Both schools attempted "an effort towards conciliation, even affiliation" with late antique philosophy,[37] and were rebuffed by some Neoplatonists, including Plotinus.

Go join a Masonic temple if you like it so much.

Do you find greater knowledge through satan? When I read the meme you posted it’s talking about your inner Lucifer. That’s pretty satanic to me.
