(To HELL with GNOSIS)
Gnosticism contained only a few core beliefs, but as long as they were adhered to, they could be infused into any number of religions, including Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, and even Islam (the Gnostic form of which is known as Sufism). The Gnostic concepts are typically traced back to the religions of Persia and India (Zoroastrianism and Hinduism), but they have been added to and modified over time, especially as they became entrenched in Greek culture. As Plato’s writings are full of Gnostic concepts, he furthered the cause of the Gnostics tremendously.
Where’s the price tags? ;-)

Yes, your explanation will work too lol
Though I was referring to the neo-gnostic film ‘The Matrix’ where the character Morpheus asks Neo, ” Blue pill or red pill ” and then proceeds to waffle on about how the Demiurge and his world control is evil.. Subsequently this line has become a modern gnostic mantra suitable to be uttered in every situation.
It’s definitely sale-worthy material!

Forgive me for misinterpreting.
It’s probably about time for me to watch Matrix again. I think I last saw it in 2002…
Thanks for commenting – and look out for those crafty Gnostic mystics. Especially the Irish ones.
