‪"... my 'difficulty' with how the Gnostic Christians fit into Theosophical thought - it seems to 'miss bits'."‬

‪--> I hope you were not looking for an exact match! Theosophy merely asks that you look at certain concepts, one by one, and see if they fit into your own personal belief system. (Theosophy never says you have to believe something, there is no Theosophical "Pope" issuing dogma.) The tricky part, of course, is when you come across a Theosophical concept that makes sense to you, but does not fit into your present belief system. Chaos then ensues. (Theosophy is famous for causing such chaos. As a matter of fact, I will go as far as to say that Theosophy's very purpose of existence is to cause such chaos when it is justified.)‬

‪Take a look at the differences between Gnosticism and Theosophy. Of those differences, which of them fit into your own person belief system? (I get the feeling that Gnostic ideas fit better into your own person belief system, especially when Theosophy and Gnosticsm disagree.)‬
