WedFeb11


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
Free Lectures from the Gnostic Society are available at http://bcrecordings.net/store/index.php?main_page=page_4
  • 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?
