Gnosticisme

--WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER-- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene reveals a very different love story from the one we've come to refer to as Christianity. Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watterson leads us verse by verse through Mary's gospel to illuminate the powerful teachings it contains. A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Mary's gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"- that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul. And all we need to do is to turn inward (again and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here, within. With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms everything.

Gnostics have always sought to "know" rather than to accept dogma and doctrine, often to their peril. This inquiry into Gnosticism examines the character, history, and beliefs of a brave and vigorous spiritual quest that originated in the ancient Near East and continues into the present day.Lawrence Durrell writes, "This is a strange and original essay, more a work of literature than of scholarship, though its documentation is impeccable. It is as convincing a reconstruction of the way the Gnostics lived and thought as D.H. Lawrence's intuitive recreation of the vanished Etruscans."

When the Christian church was first forming in the time of the apostles, a heresy that still threatens the church today called Gnosticism started to form. This heresy was battled by the writings of Irenæus to correct theological thinking about God, Jesus, and the Bible at large. This early church father was instrumental in fighting false teaching in the early centuries when there were a lot of questions about the legitimacy of Christianity in the face of the persecutions of the Roman Empire.

Have you ever wondered if there's more to life? If we are destined for something great, part of a divine plan rather than just subjects of random chaos? Mason Cole has wondered these things. And he has the answer...No.How could that be when his parents were killed in an earthquake that destroyed the city of Jerusalem, yet he alone survived? How could he be destined for great things when he's stuck in a town-shaped reststop where nothing he does makes a difference? And why would God do this to him in the first place?Then one day a stranger passes through town, bringing with him a unique explanation of his past, one he never could have imagined, and wishes he could forget. It sounds like something from one of his books, only this time it's happening to him, and it becomes clear that not every miracle is a blessing. Now, with a red-haired devil hell bent on possessing him for his own sinister gains, Mason must discover the answers to these questions if he ever hopes to survive in a world where the dark no longer hides that which dwells within.

The Ascension of Isaiah is a composite work of great interest. In its present form it is probably not older than the latter half of the 2nd century of our era. The Ascension of Isaiah is made up of three parts-the Martyrdom of Isaiah, the Testament of Hezekiah and the Vision of Isaiah-and these circulated independently as early as the 1st century. The first of these was of Jewish origin; the other two were the work of Christian writers. The Vision of Isaiah is important for the knowledge it preserved of 1st-century beliefs in certain circles as to the doctrines of the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Resurrection, the Seven Heavens, &c.

We, as a species, have been blessed/cursed with the creativity and intelligence inherent in the phenomenal gift that is the human mind. It has given us dominion over the natural world and set us above all the other creatures we share this planet with. But in so doing, it has isolated us in a world of our own making, one that has imprisoned and so, restricted our awareness to a purely mind-based, ego-oriented assessment of life. Within the confines of that lower frequency perspective lies a sinister force, one that has kept us from a direct communion with our Creator's loving presence and oblivious to the sacred role we have been born to play here. The effect has left us chronically insecure and forever in search of something "more" with little other choice but to substitute the promise of hope for the fulfillment a full awareness of this Moment is offering. The Delusion of Hope introduces you to the Higher Knowledge and to the truth that will set you free. Allow its wisdom to end your banishment, liberate you from the illusion of your mind-based perspective and cast out the evil that would consume us as it educates, inspires, and uplifts mind to the higher frequency of our Source and Creator. That omnipresent Spirit is the essence of this very moment, your true Eternal Nature, and the love, unity and peace that is our sacred birthright and spiritual heritage. It awaits you here, in this, the ever present Now Moment, within the silent stillness of your own very Beingness.
