Dharmic nondualism & gnostic dualism - Apocryphon of John - Understanding Yaldabaoth & the demiurge

The Apocryphon of John is one of the most intriguing gnostic texts. Like all the gnostic gospels the church considers this heretical since it contains teachings that differ (in many ways) from mainstream Christianity. When we go through this text we should keep in mind that many gnostic sects were persecuted and put to death for following these philosophies. The secret book of John does talk about concepts like the reincarnation (cycle of birth and death), turning away from the material world, ignorance of the divine spirit within and other very Dharmic concepts. While these ancient faiths might have their share of similarities, they might have slight philosophical differences but as long as they believe in the divine spark within, and righteous conduct leading to liberation from the cycle reincarnation their conduct in the world will not be too different from each other. It is safe to assume that no gnostics and vedantins would go to war against each other on account of these minor differences in their philosophies.
