gnosis is “knowledge itself.”
philosophy is love of knowledge.
Gnosticism is thinking a person possesses knowledge in a direct absolute way, but the only thing they can possess in that way is their own subjective speculative fantasies.
Philosophy is thinking there is an admirational relation between a person and knowledge itself. that longing is what is meant my “pursuit”
the gnostic doesn’t pursue, he already has it.
I wrote my entire masters thesis on modern Gnosticism. I’ve done the proof of work.
