I'm tending to speculate that the gnostics might be seen to have some sort of collective, wiser handle (comparatively speaking, possibly, in some cases, I'm tending to speculate) on some of those "original founders/truths" (re Esoteric/Wisdom Tradition) judging by what I read in Elaine Pagels' THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS (comments/translations re the Nag Hamadhi find).

Speculatively,
