oh, don't get me wrong, it just is repetitive because its early sections are like the vishnu puranas and like quite a bit of the bible in places... you can sorta tell that the text is about something that is entirely opaque to the people who wrote and transcribed it, that it covers concepts that mean something much more, physics, information theory, this sort of thing, but because it's mangled it's mumbojumbo... in the vishnu puranas there's a lot in the beginning like this that names people and their children and actually it's a phylogeny of words and concepts, i can see that, just that it's ... idk... childish and imprecise in its expression

i agree that the gnostic stuff is very important, i have been snipping around the edges of the subject since i was quite young

really the other thing is i just am not yet in a good routine or where i exactly want to be in order to have the time and space and routine and resources to be able to cover all these texts... when i was a kid i was a voracious reader, you could hardly tear me away from my books except to go skateboarding or try to write code on my computer

after having read so much and now with my vision a bit of a problem, and jobs to do, it's difficult for me to wrap my head around fitting it all in but i think i'll get there bit by bit as i fix things up that have been obstacles to this healthy lifestyle
