Gnostic texts

Gnostic texts are ancient writings associated with Gnosticism, a spiritual movement from early Christianity that emphasizes secret knowledge (gnosis) as the path to divine salvation. These texts often explore themes of spiritual awakening, the distinction between the material world and the divine realm, and the idea that the material universe is flawed or created by a lesser enlightening being. Gnostic writings, such as the Nag Hammadi library, often challenge mainstream religious views by presenting alternative narratives about creation, humanity, and spiritual enlightenment, highlighting the pursuit of hidden knowledge as key to understanding our true divine nature.
