Review: From a poetic perspective I was highly entertained. I can see though why it was not included in the Canon and I don't think it's conspiracy or desire to suppress. I think you will see too as there are certainly much more heretical writings out there. In my opinion its the spacey aspect of the Gnostics, like they'd been smoking the burning bush if you know what I mean. It starts off strong with the idea that God lives within us and to find him in yourself you need to eliminate sin, particularly sins of the flesh, and turn your focus inward so the real you can awaken! This sounds great and I think most Christian denominations would love that. But it takes a HUGE u-turn when they start talking about cosmology, matter, energy, celestial beings with different names. It becomes apparent that the initial philosophy was logic based and then some strong emotional influence came in with an abstract set of beliefs not really rooted in anything you can discern for yourself but arbitrary deities and entities like in all the other religions of that time. THis aspect of the gnostics has a very polytheistic feel to it beyond dualism. It doesn't feel like the same message in my opinion. I'm hoping the Cathars don't devolve into the same "spacey" poetry as that seems to be my next stop in the forbidden Christian sects. God bless Review: very nice; great for my collection
