"Sex is the myscicism of materialism" is a great quote from Muggeridge. Funny too, "What is very little understood about the electronic age is that it angelizes man, disembodies him. Turns him into software." (Marshall McLuhan). I think the lusts for angelization calling from actual Gnosticism are little different ultimately from the ones calling from materialism. Especially if you go to the historical root. The "revised" verson of Descartes' statement is actually rooted in the original! And then, too, the original is so complimentary to Gnosticism!
