To be honest, I really don't want to scan more. I'm not all that interested in gnosis. I have read enough to convince me that it is a spiritual or mystical perspective on the universe. While I don't reject the idea that there are things we don't understand I lean towards a less esoteric view of the world.
If ya can't see, feel, touch, taste, or smell it then it ain't real.
