One of the most famous Gnostic sects at the time of early Christianity was known as the Valentinians. They were founded by a Greek man named 
Valentinus who taught his own brand of Gnosticism first at the famous Greek School of Alexandria and then at Rome. The name of his followers, the Valentinians were his students and disciples who were taught by Valentinus himself, or the doctrines of Gnosis that he had left behind.
Valentinus was a very successful Gnostic teacher who first taught at the Greek School of Alexandria and then with the Latins at Rome (c. A.D. 160) where at first he was a very respected member of the Catholic community. He had developed a Gnostic system of sexual duality in the process of emanation; a long series of male and female pairs of personified ideas is employed to bridge over the distance from the unknown God to this present world.
The Valentinians believed that the attainment of this knowledge by the human individual had positive consequences within the universal order and contributed to restoring that order, and that gnosis, not faith, was the key to salvation. (more…)

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung

By the Swiss Gnostic Carl Jung – Today’s men need a large proportion of death, because they live too many unjust 
things, and too many right things die in them. Right is what keeps the balance, wrong what troubles him. But once the balance is reached, then it is wrong what maintains the balance and just what troubles him.
Balance is life and death at the same time.
For the completeness of life it takes a balance with death. If I accept the death, my tree greening up, because the dying enhances life. When I went into death that embraces the entire world, then open my shoots.
That our life needs of death! (more…)

Many people today who study Gnosticism, and or call themselves a Gnostic are not aware that there are actually very few authentic Gnostic works 
that have survived. Even the Nag Hammadi which is one of the most recent Gnostic text that has been found is of questionable origins.
One of the few true Gnostic writings comes to us from a famous Greco-Egyptian Gnostic Valentinian known as Ptolemy. It is a letter that he had written to a Roman Gnostic elite lady who was allegedly a pupil of his named Flora. In the letter he explains a unique point of view on the law of Moses, and the Demiurge relative to this law.
The letter is passed down to us by the Roman faction of Gnostic Sethians and one of their main authors Epiphanius of Salamis in his work Against Heresies, 33.3.1 – 33.7.10.
In a Gnostic nutshell, Ptolemy basically states that Moses did not receive the law by god alone, but that god legislated through him and he also had help of the elder legislators. Here’s the letter to Flora that explains “the whole Law is divided into three parts; we find in it the legislation of Moses, of the elders, and of God himself”. (more…)
