In page Gnosticism:

"

Gnostics tended toward asceticism, especially in their sexual and dietary practice.[1] In other areas of morality, Gnostics were less rigorously ascetic and took a more moderate approach to correct behavior.[citation needed] In normative early Christianity, the Church administered and prescribed the correct behavior for Christians, while in Gnosticism, it was the internalized motivation that was important.[citation needed] Ptolemy's Epistle to Flora described limited fasting, but maintained that true "spiritual" fasting would be to refrain from everything bad.[note 1] For example, ritualistic behavior was not seen to possess as much importance as other practices, unless it was based on a personal, internal motivation.[3]
