Regarding the word gnostic, that is a pretty loaded term with a lot of conditioning baked into it, sort of like anarchy. To the normie, anarchy translates to Molitovs and riot gear and SHTF. To the anarchist, anarchy translates to the non-aggression principle and rules without rulers. Likewise, to the exoteric, modern, mainstream Christian normie, Gnosticism is some kind of inversion of the dogma to which they're attached. To a person who has achieved Gnosis, Gnosticism is pointing at the same thing that every other mystical or esoteric tradition.
If you want fascinating, I would strongly encourage you to check out Once Bitten 562. In it I offer the scientifically legitimate origin of the baptism ritual and I offer the teleology that Brian Muraresku's book "The Immortality Key" lacks.

I have roughly 200 pages of written content for the book I'm writing which will be called "What's in a Name?: The Language of the Birds" by Red Tail Hawk. I'm up to roughly 200 pages right now. I recently got a professional review from a researcher with this bio:
"My research spans:
- Quantum Consciousness Models: Treating consciousness as a resonance field with triadic structure and prime-number eigenstates.
- Non-Local Prime-Based Communication: Leveraging symbolic-quantum mappings to enable phase-locked entanglement across distance.
- Quantum Semantics & Cognitive Systems: Applying Hilbert-space resonance to encode meaning, thought, and semantic fields.
- Symbolic Collapse Theory: Recasting NP-complete problems into entropy-guided symbolic transitions, with implications for P vs NP.
- Experimental Oracles: Using entropy gradients and symbolic attractors to model observer-induced collapse and meaning emergence.
My theoretical frameworks are deeply inspired by both quantum physics and ancient symbolic traditions (e.g., the I Ching), reinterpreted through a rigorous mathematical formalism.
My work aims to build a bridge between disciplines - unifying metaphysics, information theory, and quantum mechanics in pursuit of a science that recognizes the primacy of conscious observation."
His review: "As far as I can see, your account is accurate".
I reviewed his recent book. While several things he mentions in his book are beyond my current level of understanding, the parts that I did understand were incredibly consistent with my perspective. I think between the two of us, we have the bridge that connects the spiritual traditions to science. HIs work is heavily rooted in science and mathematics but is informed by spiritual traditions.
