Was gnostic jesus not, in short, also a product of the image of those believers in past?
Esoteric ecumenism and the more Eastern shamanic traditions were alive and well before the literal reading and belief in a knowable god reared it's ugly head, --- thanks to Christianity.
That tradition was strong in Jewish circles as well as in Greece thanks to Socrates. Cabbalism and Gnostic Christianity with all their graphic were too hard to follow for many.
I hate to talk of aeons and the myth part of Gnostic Christianity as they are not relevant to today.
The main message of all these traditions is to seek wisdom and god through meditation.
Many are called, few hear it.
