Sinossi
Pur non appartenendo alla cosiddetta "Biblioteca di Nag-Hammadi", vastissimo e celebre corpus di manoscritti trovati nel 1946, la "Pistis Sophia" è uno dei testi fondamentali del pensiero gnostico. Anch'essa di area egizia, scritta nel III secolo, l'opera dispiega infatti un Sistema cosmogonico e cosmologico che ha pochi eguali per forza visionaria e complessità teologica. All'apice di questo universo vi è il dio "ineffabile, infinito, inaccessibile" dal quale emana ogni cosa. Sotto di lui si aprono le tre regioni intermedie: quella del "tesoro della luce", quella "di destra" e quella "di mezzo". Ancor più in basso "il mondo degli eoni", il nostro mondo dove si consuma lo scontro tra la materia e la luce.

Here you will find what might be called the classical "gnostic" text Representative of the Valentinian school, the Pistis Sophia (Faith and Wisdom personified in some sense) gives what often passes for the central myth of gnosticism.

Peter hates women lol. Very eye opening book, and teachings similar to escaping Buddhist samsara cycle.
I started with an excitement to explore what gnostic literature might have to offer, in terms of rich, arcane world building. Busy, richly populated heavens and other inhuman domains, multiplicities of heretofore unexplored factions, involvements and motivations scarcely intelligible to man. Then my Leggi tutto
I put off reading this book for years because someone described it as long and tedious. But some references to it I read recently convinced me I ought to give it a go. I got Mead's translation as a kindle version because it is cheap and I can easily highlight and make notes in a kindle book. The boo Leggi tutto
This book really gives more context to the teachings of this great being. descriptions of the journeys that are taken to each planet to attain great mysteries and seals. Different orders of the celestials are mentioned with a understanding of there purposes. yashua relationships with his various dis Leggi tutto
Interesting read...I think that it was inspired, but not by God, and I don't believe it was written by Mary. Sounds like the viewpoint of Lucifer the angel who was cast out of heaven and resentful and whiny about it.
What is written in this book is very confronting when compared to main stream Christianity. How ever in this book Jesus expounds on some parables found in the common bible revealing it's real meaning and not the meaning pastors tell you. A lot of this is questions from Jesus disciples and answers from Leggi tutto
While often times tedious, this gem is very interesting for those who will take their time. I spent many of a time, stopping and looking up various names I've never seen before. Or having seen names that, at least for a quick search, were unknown to a surface level. Not recommended for anyone that t Leggi tutto
