My studies of NDE point in that direction - people who have died report seeing various entities which they "see" through the lens of their own cultures, but which appear to be the self same entity across all the experiences. An entity which never identifies itself, but instead leaves it up to the individual to interpret in light of his own culture. A Christian may see "Jesus", a Muslim "Mohammed", a Hindu "Krishna", etc, regardless of the objective identity of the being, which never actually identities itself to them.
I didn't even know any Gnostics still existed. I thought they all died out in the 400's AD.
While I do believe cross-dimensional beings exist, the basic premise of Gnosticism - that Satan and Yahweh are the same being - seems to be flawed to me, and if that basic premise is flawed, then everything that flows from it must necessarily be flawed as well.
.
Not being a Gnostic myself either, i dont know is there any Gnostics now days..
I dont agree with Gnostic , that Satan and Yahweh are the same being , it does seem as flawed yes . But that does not necessery mean all what they sayed is flawed to me , not that i really much would read Gnostic stuff . It seem we live flawed World now, and something is pulling the strings , so the basic idea of Archons or what ever name to use , makes to me some sense .
That`s very interesting what you tell about the seeing trought lens of own cultures ..
About to go sleep, too tired to think anymore today.
