Compare or Martix & Gnosticism

While reading the summary of Gnostism, I wasn’t hard to come to the assumption that, this is one of many interesting religions. I learned that this religion is practice most frequently, in the Middle East region, Perhaps, threes a connection with the Muslim belief. However, to my understanding of the Gnosticism, is simply a belief system, in which the people live by the moral idea that "people" are divine souls trapped in a materialistic world. And the only way to escape this way of life is to seek knowledge. Not just any knowledge, but Gnosis. This is considered to be knowledge of god. According to the text, this sense of intelligence can only be obtained by, the direct experience with god. In connection to the term Allegory, I feel that these two terms share similarities, in the sense that they are both forms of expression. As mentioned, in my earlier blog, Allegory is an artistic way of expressing and idea, where as Gnostism, can also be considered, a form of expression, where people expresses themselves through morals and beliefs. I also, consider the matrix to be an aspect, worth making a connection to. I think that the matrix film certainly connects to the religious term Gnostism. The reason being is because I feel that both parties can agree that humans are trapped in to a materialistic world. I think that the matrix can agree on this idea because, the only way to escape the matrix, is to learn the truth.
