Gnosticism
The Nag Hammadi library — Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Philip, and Secret Book of John, discovered in Egypt in 1945. Gnosticism teaches that esoteric knowledge (Gnosis) of one's divine origin is the path to liberation from a material world created by a lesser Demiurge, with the true God beyond all creation.
