All good films, all good movies, all good architecture, all good plays all have one feature in common, which is that their producers and directors use gnosticism as the main inspiration behind their creation. Good architecture always involves the use of sacred geometry. All good works of art involve gnosticism as an inspiration - and that means alchemy and mysticism. Bad works of art - bad movies, bad books, bad plays, bad architecture (´modern´ architecture) all avoid the use of sacred geometry and the occult as their main inspirations. If anybody wants to make a work of art that works, they have to use the occult, they have to use alchemy, they have to use mysticism, they have to use gnosticism as a resource. This is because alchemy and mysticism teach artists to use references to produce new works of art. All the good alien films were based on gnostic concepts and those which were not simply failed because if you want to make a good movie you have to have a story - line and it has to come from elements of gnosticism - used to make The Never Ending Story, the Lord of the Rings, the Urotsukidoji movies, Prometheus, Solaris - all of them.
In my opinion, gnosticism is one of the inspirations for Prometheus, but it is not the main inspiration. While it is possible to interpret Ridley Scott's film through a gnostic lens, I do not believe that Prometheus is promoting a gnostic worldview. I think Prometheus is promoting something else. I hope you'll stick around for the journey.
Great new entry in your series. I'm always waiting for a new entry from you. Keep it up!
