Hello,
It is important not to put it into some label such as 'Gnosticism' because this is not another sect. Gnosis is not that a specific esoteric knowledge that does not already exist, but it is more than ability to comprehend what you read. The "divine" is very hard to comprehend unless one applies mind and soul. Gnosis means simply "hard to understand", esoteric. It is hard to understand how the World works and it was made to deceive mankind as well. It does not help that people deceive themselves with false information.
Basically one can summarize the Gnostic knowledge as: "I AM THAT I AM", meaning if you are it, you are it (conditional). This is the kind of collective union and concept one should have called 'Allah' in Arabic. Christian and Jewish readers should be well aware that the Arabic tongue is based on Aramaic which is the language of revelation to people of the past such as Moses and Jesus, so the word is not new and some "Islamic" word. The word 'Allah' does not refer to your GOD/Sustainer exclusively but it is the people 'Who Are It'. For those who comprehend what I AM writing about here have understood Gnosis (the esoteric knowledge).
Your Sustainer (Rabb) is the Foundation of existence and acts like a platform, hosting everything, the "Lord" of hosts, which should ring a bell for the perceptive from this commonly used phrase in Biblical renditions.
To reach Gnosis, one has to "separate the spirit from the flesh" as our friend Jesus said. The body should cease Being (allah) a distraction. Then the Spirit can grow in you as intended. You can basically reach perfection, sharing qualities like the Sustainer, but not be above your Master since one cannot become better than the qualities of your Master and there is no other better master. This is why the Sustainer is the best source of spiritualism, not masters who have very limited insight. It is best to learn from someone who declares to others: "I am in the Spirit and the Spirit in me", since they have understood the proper procedure and assimilation. God is expressed from that spiritual bonding. Therefore "I AM WHO AM I" by other words. It is important to resemble the Maker and this has given birth to what is usually referred to as "Gnosticism" where the flesh is deemed evil since it is a distraction from seeing the real Spirit. Once again, resonate the saying "separate the spirit from the flesh" in your minds.
To talk rationally, Jesus taught Gnostic (esoteric) knowledge, and he did it well, but only the worthy will ever understand his words. He did not invent some religion called Christianity, but he did never refer to his faith by a particular name. He simply taught without labels. It is important to remember that he said anyone who did like him would become 'children of GOD', i.e. sons or daughters, but the ancient terms do not imply some sort of biological relationship but it is all in the spiritual affinity, the one who is, is. There can be no pretenders but it must be shown in their ways and living.
Be well
