Most books in the Mega are trustworthy, so the info in them is usually good and usable.
For Gnosticism, you should read the Gnostic texts we have from the Nag Hammadi Library.
Why are you interested in Gnosticism, if i might ask?

>Why are you interested in Gnosticism, if i might ask?
I want to know how this world works, how other worlds work and maybe even see the other worlds. Gnosticism seems the most accurate from all other religions at explaining the inner workings of the universe.

>Nag Hammadi Library
Thanks, I will check it out

Ah, well...
Personally i'm Chrsitian, so i consider Gnosticism a heresy.
Gnosticism is a mix of early Christianity and Neoplatonic thought, and both of those 'groups' disliked and criticized it.
You are interested in other worlds, right?
I don't think you'll find that in Gnostic as i don't remember that we have their practices, but what ee do have is Astral Projection and Pathworking, you might be interested in those as you can 'travel to other worlds' through thise practices.

Traveling to other worlds is one thing, knowing what they offer, how they work is another thing. I just like reading about this stuff.

>Personally i'm Chrsitian, so i consider Gnosticism a heresy.
That sentence sounds like your church forbid you reading anything that's not Bible xd.

Nah i was interested in Gnosticism for a bit but then i realized it didn't make much sense.
For example, how do angels work in Gnosticism? Yes there are the Syzygies and the evil Archons, but what are those angels in the New Testament? Are they the same guys as the Old Testament ones? Syzygies they don't seem to be, and if they are Archons why do they work for Jesus?
Why are the texts supposed to be reliable when most are written in the 2nd century by people who never knew Jesus? Why does Jesus talk like a greke philosopher in those texts? Didn't he grow up in Israel and was practically a wandering Rabbi?
If the Monad is almighty and poweful why doesn't it just solve everything in an instant, and instead it makes Jesus come to us. Maybe it just wants us to be free to decide? But then why make Gnosticism a religion that is self defeating (a lot of the followers didn't reproduce) if it should be a religion that should rapidly spread to save us all? I can go on.

Hmm... I'll keep those things in mind as I read through all religions/systems I'm interested in.
