Your whole post very much reminds of a short poem I wrote a few years back:
Well, it should be understood,
there’s no evil, there’s no good.
Love the Devil as your brother,
God will bless you like no other.
Honestly, ever since I looked deeper into Gnosticism (looking at the date of the article I’ve written back then, it was in summer last year), I’m somewhat at odds with it. What do you make of their rejection of flesh as something impure and “inherently bad”? I was quite surprised to find out they uphold such viewpoints. But I’m talking about Gnostics of 2nd century AD here. I see a very clear parallel between them and those ascetic yogis that Siddhartha studied under. I ask because your Gnosticism sounds quite different.
On the other hand I dig their cosmology. Though I admit that I understand maybe half of it (there’s not much Plato and Greek philosophers in general under my belt :D). Somehow, it reminds me very much of Kabbalah and in some aspects also Hinduism (and by extension also Buddhism). And those I get … I guess.
It’s really a sight to behold how everything fits together. Indeed, there’s but what is and it’s one. However we, human forms of it, call it .. essentially call ourselves.
I like this sentence very much, “The human version of that “real God” I think would be what we discover we always were once we make the unconscious conscious.” I would maybe add that not only were, but also are, and, most importantly, always will be. It may be trivial or seem like nitpicking, but it helps me to remember that there is nowhere to go. No place to escape. On the surface it may sound desperate or weird, but in some strange manner this knowledge brings me utter peace. Maybe because it implies that what you already described — “Cosmically, God has nothing to build the devil, or angels, or physical reality, or human beings or anything with (or out of) except God.”
Isn’t it marvelous? :)
