Beyond Belief

The rulers thought that it was by their own power and will that they were doing what they did, but the Holy Spirit in secret was accomplishing everything through them as it wished. TheGospelOfPhilip

Truth, which existed since the beginning, is sown everywhere. And many see it being sown, but few are they who see it being reaped. TheGospelOfPhilip

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

Some are afraid lest they rise naked. Because of this they wish to rise in the flesh, and they do not know that it is those who wear the flesh who are naked. It is those who are made into light by divesting themselves of the flesh who are not naked. TheGospelOfPhilip

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Wisdom is one thing, and death is another. Wisdom is simply wisdom, yet the wisdom of death is itself dead. This which is the wisdom with death, which is from the acquaintance with death is called the little wisdom. TheGospelOfPhilip

Faith receives, love gives. No one can receive without faith, no one can give without love. Therefore we believe so that indeed we shall receive, yet we give so that we shall love. Otherwise, if one is accustomed to give without love, he derives no benefit from having given. TheGospelOfPhilip

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

“Beyond Belief ~ The Secret Gospel of Thomas” by Elaine Pagels is excellent for understanding why certain texts were hidden and not included in the New Testament.

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no ...

There are two types of time lines (From Richard Bandler: "Get The Life You Want".)

In Time:

• The past is behind, the future is in front.
• You don't remember the past or not often.

Through Time:

• The past is on your left, the future is on your right.
• You remember past events and are pretty punctual.

That blew me away. My poor mother. A husband and 3 sons In Time while she and I were moving Through Time. Next time I show up on time to pick someone up and they're not ready I'll know why.

The Nag Hammadi Library ( http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/nhlcodex.html ) has: the Gospel Of Truth, the Gospel Of Thomas and the Gospel of Philip. Having read the Gospel of Thomas; the Gospel of Philip reminded me of it.

I read Elaine Pagels book “Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas” years ago. In a nutshell anything not in the Bible was ordered destroyed. So they hid all the manuscripts from the great library in Egypt. They expand on it rather than hinder it's understanding. It was democratic. Anyone that didn't go along with them was dropped off on a deserted island. I thought that was rather amusing.

Ken Wapnick used the phrase “Some of the ancient Gnostic texts have Jesus speak about how he is "regaining himself," or "rejoining with himself," how he is "collecting all the fragments and reuniting them within himself." ”. Try http://www.gnosis.org/library/valentinus/index.html

• Gnosticism: New Light on the Ancient Tradition of Inner Knowing
• The Greatest Treasures of Nag Hammadi
• An Introduction to The Gospel of Judas
• Altered States Ancient and Modern (it says Tennyson used the phrase “the individuality of self fades away”, he chanted his own name over and over to calm his mind; Richard Bandler(who says to quiet your mind think "shut up, shut up, shut up") refers to Altered States in his work too, but it's using the power of the mind to overcome things; these are forms of meditation, the state where all thought ceases)
• and others

Akhenaten (often also spelled Echnaton, Akhnaton, or rarely Ikhnaton) introduced monotheism, the belief that only one god exists, in Egypt represented by Aten (or Aton) . Did his family use Mandrake to reach altered states of consciousness? (Lecture 4 above). Monotheism set the stage for Moses. Did you know Gypsy is derived from Egyptian?
