It is because. gnosticism like any other science, besides it special subjects and problems is in need of a subtle spirit. Good test and a kind of platonic tove until to he understandable therefore evciy reader of their hooks is obliged to he familiar with those problems and introctuctiy notes. Therefore here is discussed about sobriety, intoxication, collectivness, distinction, and the time the distinction so. called the station of servitude.
