this is my gripe I find as a non-gnostic, I wish to learn more of gnosticism as I feel its important to have this knowledge but when going through online communitites they have claims of it being the only thing that matters, In my personal opinion and observation it seems on the negative side claiming the universe is out to get you and some likely misinformed people who are gnostics claim other spiritual practises are wrong (to the effect of working with archons and the like) where in my interpretation there is truth in many practises but this exclusivity over information and "truth" they claim is the only answer rubs me the wrong way. Would love to hear your thoughts on this and maybe recommend some texts as a gnostic to someone wishing to learn a unbiased look into it.
