>The many similarities between the Gnostic systems indicate that they are sprung from a common root: Ptolemy from the school of Valentin has as his first principles the heavenly Father (Propater) and Énnoia giving birth to Nous, Irenaeus, Adv I,1,1. Like Apophasis he operates with the “root” of the All. Of all the aeons born or emanated from these first principles only Nous was able to have vision of the Father (videns Patrem) and was “jubilant over his unmeasurable greatness”, cf. the Mandaean macr’anthropos Mara dRabutha, “Lord of Greatness”), Father of ‘uthras. Mysticism, mystic vision of God is the key to the Gnostic religion and the reason why the created, visible world is in such a low esteem. The real world is the transcendent light experienced in the mystic vision, and as in the Hindu worldview this material world is only maya – something utterly unreal created by human illusion and fallen angels. Acc. to Carpocrates, Jesus was unique in having a strong and clean soul, and he was therefore able to remember what he “had seen in the nearness of the uncreated God”, Ir I,25,1

>Also in tantra, the great goal is mystic vision, a longing for transcendent reality, and this is the reason why all Gnostic systems are united by this very negative attitude to the creation and the visible world. But typical of the tantric way is the snake-symbol and the focus on sperm as a fallen part of a heavenly outflow of divine light. Cf. the early Gnostic Severus: Sabaoth had a snake-like son who was cast down on earth, was seized by passion and emitted his sperm in the earth as in a woman and so generated all the seeds of plants, Epiphanius, Pan XLV,1,3-6. The tantric way is the non-ascetic “use of the body” as an instrument to achieving ecstasy and vision first and foremost by manipulating sexual energy, cf. the Nicolaitan slogan “that the flesh must be abused”
