The gnostics seem to view God as the 'Ultimate Reality'. That everything else is emanated forth from Him and just slightly 'less' real.
I find this concept intriguing in light of quantum mechanics and Heisenberg uncertainty and such. We can peek at things really close but then the laws of nature seem designed to hide things from us beyond a certain point. Try as we might, we can't seem to reach 'ultimate reality' here, in what we perceive as the 'real world'.
I find that very interesting.
