Gnostics tend to believe the physical universe is a "testing ground" for spiritual enlightenment, mainly through self-restraint.

Eternal wisdom of all the ages.

The ancients knew we are in a kind of holofractal simulation.

Humans can arise at any point in time on Earth and read the sacred architecture of nature to regain their knowledge of WHO they are.

The Matrix and Terminator 1/2 are modern works that express this idea. Both of these movies incorporate the Father/Son/Holy Spirit concept, which is very old and respected.

Gnostism seems to focus on the quantum reality of creation, where consciousness is recycled (reincarnation) repeatedly, while deity-based faiths focus on super advanced "genetic scientists" who harness the power of the universe to create new lifeforms, which in turn, create even more. Humanity is a creator species (sentient), but we've been subverted by malevolent forces.

Yes that's mostly accurate, and you gotta wonder how those old chaps knew all that shit!
