QUOTE : Some Gnostic experts hold strange, incorrect and extreme opinions that they present in their books and presentations as the one and only explanation of Gnosticism. Beware of people who make scandalous claims for themselves, for example, who claim that they are an avatar, Bodhisattva, archangel, or the founder of Gnosticism. Focus on the spiritual books and methods that lead you to know the Divine directly. Do not become obsessed with particular individuals.
