Did you know the Gnostics had a TDG-like structure?

No, but to be honest it does not surprise me. As I said in one of my responses to you, after the fall of Iron Curtain, in the short period that followed right after the revolution we had, too, a very similar structure. It seems that when people are in the state of love it’s a natural way to organize.

That statement with love may sound cheesy and cliche, but it really was like that. Never before (nor after) I saw people en masse treating each other as brothers and sisters. Literally. A whole nation in love with each other.

Well, and then power struggles broke out as mobs and other scum crawled from under the rocks. But basically it was the consequence of the original leading dissidents (now the new top echelon) abandoning the real values of revolution and turning out to be just power hungry dicks with sweet words on their lips (or they were too weak to withstand the outside pressures). You can imagine that people felt betrayed but followed suit (what else could they do).

Christianity lost some of its true way after that event

Maybe we could say that original Christianity was defeated at that point, because what followed was Christian basically only in name.
