apocatastasis occurs when a soul, which is Divine Light trapped in evil matter, frees itself by attaining special knowledge or gnosis to rejoin the True God above all gods .Messengers of Light, of which Jesus Christ is the primary example,[neutrality disputed] reveal the salvation that comes from finding the Kingdom of God within.

Are you SURE you have that "special knowledge"? Better check again

This teaching was presented in the early days of Christianity but was refuted by the Church in the seventh century. One thought was that Satan could be reconciled to God.
Interesting. Is this a gnostic belief? (evil matter, special information)

The Gnostic Heresy! Cool!
Now, let us no longer live trapped in evil matter, but go directly to Heaven.

No, Jibba -- you're way, way out of your territory here. "Apocatastasis" simply refers to the "restoration of all things." It was held by notable Christian theologians in the early centuries of the church, such as Origen and St Gregory of Nyssa. It is not a Gnostic concept.
