I follow most of what you say above:  I take it (GR"s) Gosticism's fault lays
in its relegating this present world as "fallen," and in its life-denying path
back toward the godhead.  "Denying the flesh," so to speak.  This would
contrast to the Herero's accepting the whole and embodying its cosmos in the
circular form of the village, with its symbolic center.

Do you think therefore that Gnosticism is considered to be as evil as
Chritianity in GR?  They both are from similar "broken/fallen" structures.

Keep these great posts comming!
