I've long believed the Gnostics were an early disinfo-based social engineering project. As disinfo, they have to give you some truth, and in this case I am certain the truth given was that there are the three types of human consciousness that you describe.
I believe there is something to be learned from the Gnostics as to the characteristics of these types, but everything further I've ever come across from them seems like superstitious nonsense with no basis in fact. Maybe there's more to be learned from them, but it never looked promising to me.
At a guess, I think the main idea of the Gnostic project was to off-ramp people from the increasingly popular ideas that would eventually become Christianity.
Part of what I've noticed about people attracted to Gnosticism in the modern day is that a lot of them are stoner/hippie types that have been left with a bad taste in their mouths over something to do with Christianity. It seems they are attracted to it because they can be literally "in the know" without exercising discipline, and also feel gratification that the Church "really was wrong" and not them.
The Essenes (and there's evidence to indicate that Jesus was one of them) also wrote about these three types. They referred to them as "sleeping", "drowsy", and "awake". IIRC, the Essenes taught that that the awake should not try to awaken the sleeping, but they did have a responsibility for protecting and caring for them. The awake should also stand ready to welcome and guide the drowsy as they roused from their slumber.
It struck me that, yeah, that seemed like something Jesus would teach.
Well, study their teaching all you like, but I doubt you'll find anything of any value. What you want is what might be described as "actionable intel", but as far as I can tell virtually all of this occult "doctrine" is simply made up nonsense. For example, I think you could read everything ever published by Scientologists, and not a bit of it would ever lead you to uncover Operation Snow White.
Same goes for Masonry. I remember Cecil Rhodes, a guy who I take was hip to a lot of how things really worked, made some very disparaging comment about it, something that added up to, "What a load of bullshit." When I heard that it confirmed my feeling that there was nothing important to be discovered about their doctrine.
Really, it could be counted on one hand the number of important items I've come across from all these flavors of "secret societies". And none of them are things that you would find explicitly written in their documentation. You have to abstract a level to see that that how they're really going about their business.
With Masonry, for example, throw out everything they say about themselves and realize that each has sworn a secret oath. All nefarious associations aside, how could any of them be trusted to keep any public oath? That's all you need to know about how Masonry really works.
Another example would be how the real deep Zionists/Talmudists/Kabalists think that non-Jews don't really have souls, are like animals, and may be treated as such. Yeah, okay, they wrote that down in several ways in the Talmud but that was millennia ago. All of them are way more circumspect about saying such things now. But it's still how they act, isn't it?
From what you just wrote, I can see you're just missing the element of the Anunnaki. Take my word for it if you care to, but a lot of things will crystallize for you once you include them. Frankly, they are the framework on which human history and society is based.
If you don't believe me about their importance, try this instead: whenever the subject of the Anunnaki comes up with one of these popular researchers, pay extremely close attention to how it is handled. They will almost all ridicule it and quickly divert back to their narrative. This is how They keep you away from it.
One exception I've found is Clif High, who has a special technique. When someone mentions the Anunnaki, he says, "Oh yes, very important. But you know what's much more important is the Nommo. Let me tell you about them...." Once you're attentive to it, it's quite transparent.
