Unlike traditional Gnosticism which seeks spiritual liberation, the elite designers of the Sola Busca deck utilized Gnostic cosmology to control their subsequent reincarnations. By worshipping specific deities, they aimed to enter those deities' "train" upon death to ensure rebirth back into elite social circles and bloodlines. This practice justifies the multi-generational "long game" often attributed to global power structures.

The D'Este family of Ferrara is identified as the primary driver behind the Sola Busca deck's creation.

Such accounts challenge purely psychological explanations and suggest that some NDEs may involve genuine clairvoyant information.
