I wished somebody would have PMed me... but now its late and I will come back.

thanks a bunch Pat, what you post is always so insightful

I cannot say that I am fully knowledgeable about Gnosticism, nor Hermetic traditions, although I find both very fascinating. I just dont have enough time. But I will download tomorrow at the library before I put my 2 cents on the table.

I think my spirituality is flexible enough to see the good as much as the bad in all belief systems, their contradictions, hence follow none in particular, and also because I am aware that many principles have been around since ever. As a matter of fact, I dont understand the fear of the One World religion since they all originate from the same source more or less.

But I can see why the abrahamic religions will eventually draw us into a conflict like unseen before. That is scary, actually, as it was meant to occur at some point down the road, in due time, and that time is getting closer by the year. I can see the momentum gathering pace.

This is the belief system, this is the core belief system of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. It's packaged in different ways in those three religions, but it is the core belief system. And the gnostics, like Hipacia, when they saw this belief system gaining credence in Rome, in Palestine, in Alexandria, in places around the Mediterranean, in the first, second and third century, they came out of the mystery schools where they were teachers, and they said "hey, hold on a minute, let's have an open discussion of this new belief system, in the Redeemer; and they pointed out really devastating things about this belief system, and for that, they were targeted for elimination.
