“Since Gnostic studies have progressed extraordinarily in recent times, no cultured person would fall today, as in the past, into the simplistic error of making the Gnostic currents arise from any exclusive spiritual latitude.

Although it is true that in any Gnostic system we must take into account its Eastern Hellenistic elements, including Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, India, Palestine, Egypt, etc., we should never ignore the Gnostic principles perceptible in the sublime religious cults of the lndo-American Nahuas, Toltecs, Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mayas, Chibchas, Incas, Quechuas, etc, etc, etc.”
