So there's a name for it, is there?

"The Gnostic views himself as an exile in the world, as the victim of his own body, which he defines as a tomb and a prison. He has been cast into the world, from which he must find a way out. Existence is an ill-- and we know it. The more frustrated we feel here, the more we are struck with a delirium of omnipotence and desires for revenge."
