According to Gershom Scholem, most of the Zohar was written in an exalted style of Aramaic that was spoken in Palestine during the second century of the modern era.
The fact that the Zohar was found by one lone individual, Moses de Leon, taken together with the circumstance that it refers to historical events of the post-Talmudical period, caused the authenticity of the work to be questioned from the outset.
Elements of the Zohar crept into the liturgy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the religious poets not only used in their compositions the allegorism and symbolism of the Zohar, but even adopted its style, e.g.

 Zohar Pritzker Edition
Not only was there no complete, reliable manuscript of the Zohar in the original Aramaic in existence anywhere in the world, but in all likeli­hood, none ever existed, Though the precise history of the Zohar is still shrouded in mystery, it originally cir­culated in fragments as a series of pamphlets or notebooks.
No complete Zohar existed until the middle of the 16th century, nearly 300 years later, when the booklets were gathered and printed as a single work in Italy Unfortunately the editors of the printed versions of the Zohar often rejected or revised original readings in the earlier handwritten manuscripts.
In the Zohar the text of the Bible is the starting point, a springboard for the imagination, Daniel Matt notes that, in composing his commentary for THE ZOHAR: PRITZKER EDITION, he sought to elicit the meaning of the original without sacrificing its subtlety and ambiguity.

In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative.
And because the Zohar is so obscure, it is a good idea to study it with someone who knows the text most intimately from a mystical perscective, without such a guide, one will likely find reading the Zohar confusing and cryptic.

The Zohar is a particularly difficult text to translate due to the idiosyncratic nature of the pseudo-Aramaic it is written in in addition to the very abstract nature of the material covered.
It's also important to note that this is the first translation of the Zohar based on a modern critical text.
That means the Aramaic original used to translate from has been carefully compared and emended from old manuscript copies.

This is the first translation ever based on a critical Aramaic text of the Zohar, established by Dr. Matt from numerous original Zohar manuscripts.
I am especially familiar with her "Zohar Series", which is based on the masterpiece of Jewish mysticism, Sefer ha-Zohar ("The Book of Radiance"), a poetic, mystical commentary on the Bible, composed in 13th century Spain.
Yet one of the unique qualities of the Zohar is its insistence that spirituality embraces the material dimension, that the physical world is not to be denigrated.

 TIME.com: Found In Translation -- Apr. 19, 2004 -- Page 1
An utterly original 1,800-page mix of Torah commentary, parody, erotic poetry, numerology and experimental narrative devices, it crams some 400 subplots into a Chaucer-like tale of a band of traveling sages.
One of these, the Shekhinah, was the Zohar's obsession, the portal through which it pulled believers willy-nilly into the divine drama.
The Zohar's use faded as Judaism absorbed the just-the-facts influence of the European Enlightenment, but it left behind dramatic mementos such as the Bar Mitzvah coming-of-age celebration and the gorgeous Friday-evening song welcoming God's "Sabbath bride." The Zohar also informs the current Cabalistic resurgence, so fascinating to Jews and spiritual adventurers like Madonna.

I believe that the zohar emits a wavelength that attract the gnosis, many references while on the Durandal about the zohar emulators wavelengths.
The Gnosis are humans that came into contact with the Zohar and were transported to that higher plain, but it was too much for the being to handle and thus they mutated and became what they are now with a pained existence.
After all, when people come into contact with the Zohar, they disappear, not transform into Gnosis as you make it sound, so there is any number of possibilities as to what could've happened to them, and frankly, turning into Gnosis is not at the top of my list.
