QUOTE : You understand nothing of Gnosticism if you have failed to grasp that it is a positive liberty undertaking that seeks to change the world, and every person in it. It is the opposite of anti-State negative liberty movements such as libertarianism, conservatism and anarchism. These movements despise experts and knowledge. They are about “freedom”, not about knowledge. The aim of all modern Gnostic movements is to use the power of the State to immanentize the eschaton.
