					<description><![CDATA[Gnosticism gets a lot of guff for seeing the material world as something to be escaped from. I think that&#8217;s a caricature of gnosticism. Sure, the Used Car Salesman who created the world set up a lemon of a universe, but that doesn&#8217;t mean gnosticism has to be anti-body and anti-earth. Even if many flavors [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how many of you watch HBO&#8217;s John From Cincinanti. The long and short of it is that the Second Coming has come to a run down stretch of beach south of San Diego. Instead of Jesus of Nazareth, he&#8217;s John from Cincinnati. A recurring theme is John&#8217;s incomprehensibility. He just almost makes [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I finished up Philip K. Dick&#8217;s freaky book VALIS last night. It&#8217;s gnostic, and if there&#8217;s anything consistently true about Gnostic writing, it&#8217;s that it&#8217;s freaky. &#8220;Phildickian&#8221; gnosticism does not disappoint on that account. There&#8217;s the VALIS&#8212;the Vast Active Living Intelligence System&#8212;which controls the world and even creates it. There&#8217;s the Black Iron Prison, which [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After browsing some gnostic bloggers, I went and picked up a copy of VALIS, one of Phil K. Dick&#8217;s last novels. It&#8217;s a trip. He writes: &#8220;They ought to make it a binding clause that if you find God you get to keep him.&#8221; Assuming they do let you keep God, the problems come when [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As promised, a response to Tim Boucher&#8217;s &#8220;Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory&#8221; (in three parts): Boucher is looking for a new gnosticism. I&#8217;ve always found gnosticism bewildering, if metaphysically ambitious. It has its own peculiar beauty, but as I studied it in a mystical theology class in college, I couldn&#8217;t help but think that gnosis and [&#8230;]]]></description>
