Thanks for the share. It's not so much that I find esotericism inherently interesting. It's more that Gnosticism undermines common perceptions about Christianity's roots. Alex O'Conner (the YouTuber I mentioned in my previous post) mentions the astonished looks he gets in response to stating the current consensus that Jesus did not claim to be divine.

It's a niche hobby, esoterics. You might be interested to hear that Rosicrucians basically assert that Jesus was a master initiate (simply someone highly accomplished), while Christ is a diety (the solar logos, the sun god) that "incarnated" into Jesus in the middle of Jesus' life.
