How do I into Gnosticism? What's the primary text(s) I

Radical Gnosticism is possibly the most terrifying idea of all time. Make sure you can handle it.

Christian gnosticism or gnosticism in general?

What is 'Radical Gnosticism?'

>>8518922
bump, interested

Gnosticism is for plebs who misunderstood Plato

Skip the shit and read Plato & Plotinus

Ellen Paigles - The Gnostic Gospels

He is right, more than few people delving into this stuff go bananas.

Is gnosticism the most contrarian belief system? I don't want to waste my time.

No it's just a misunderstanding of Timaeus

Plato: Phaedo, Republic, Timaeus (of course you can read all of his works...)
New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha
Nag Hammadi Scriptures
The Gnostics: Myth, Ritual, and Diversity in Early Christianity
Plotinus: Enneads
Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius

This, although I would say not all parts of The Republic are relevant to gnosticism. Timaeus and Phaedo, most definetely.

The idea that the Demiurge is entirely sacrilegious and that there's no way out.
