Do you agree with this quote? Is the Gnostic necessarily Agnostic?

Well God is a mystery... Mysteries are meant to be experienced not Solved... We are to know it by experience not by crunching numbers or reenacting the big bang. Todays contemporary Gnostic's can be agnostic in the sense that they believe in the beliefs in Gnosticism but one cannot call themselves a fully realized Gnostic until they experience Gnosis.
