Gnosticism

What does Sup Forums think of Gnosticism? Is it just another hippy occult ideology, or is there more to it? There's a lot of contradicting information about it on the internet, so it's kind of hard to really tell whether or not it is a legit belief system. Anyone here personally subscribe to it?

I like the ideas behind it, but I don't know of any well adjusted gnostics.

It's a pretty fringe belief system and most people only seem to understand it theoretically. I haven't come across anyone on the internet who claims to have experienced gnosis (or identified it as such).

I think there are other paths to the same thing (direct intuitive knowledge of god/the all/the one/whatever) that don't require you to belong to some ancient religious sect that only loons these days follow.

all truths comes from the same light.

All things that are, are lights.

oh god did we summon something? repent OP! before its too late! theyre coming with the dubs!

Gnosticism - literally 'know oneself'
At its purest, it's the heart of all truths.
At its worst, it's just another dogma for the hipster who doesn't believe he is a hipster.

Sup Forums is the epitome of bluepilled when it comes to religion, don't even bother.

6666 get!

Gnosticism isn't a specific religion. It's any kind of religion that doesn't reveal it's truths openly to every person who comes by.
There's gnostic christianity, islam, buddhism etc.
but besides that, yeah I think they're pretty interesting.

I subscribe to fate and the useful parts of every belief structure fate shows me. The bits of wisdom contained within each are much more useful once you scrape off the theoretical ideologies, from my perspective. Theosophy was similar to gnosticism, until it was killed for not fitting into the cult versus cult script being manufactured.
