Lost Paths to Enlightenment: The Gnostic Gospels
How Jewish, Christian, and Greek ideas gave birth to a philosophy that paralleled Buddhism and why these texts were left out of the Bible.
FREE OPEN LECTURE
Many early Christians believed that all matter is evil, and the spirit-realm is good. There was no “sin” just “ignorance”, and the key to eternal life was found through “gnosis” — knowledge that was kept hidden from the masses. We’ll look at their many gospels and other texts that combine ideas Christian, Jewish, and Greek ideas which Orthodox Christians left out of the Bible.
The presentation ends around 9.00. The exchange of ideas usually continues until 10, or even later, while we share complimentary snacks and beverages.
