Stephana and I began a series today, leveraging her decades long experience within the cult of Scientology.
It was just a primer video to chat about the ideas/concepts in general. We plan to go deeper into the early first century Gnostics, and how & why they were eventually hunted down and killed by the Roman church. Their writings were almost completely destroyed by that same wonderful institution, but re-discovered in 1945, hidden centuries ago, in an attempt to save them.
It worked; we have much of their writings today, called the Nag Hammadi scriptures.
I read the book, “Not in His Image”, by John Lamb Lash, which covers much of this violent suppression and what the Gnostics were really about. I’d highly recommend my readers check it out, even though John’s vivid description of a “Christian” mob brutally killing a Gnostic woman named Hypatia in 415AD hits the reader hard, at the start of the book.
The murder pretty much officially started the dark ages of suppression regarding the truth about Christianity.
John and I have a bit of a history (…as in, he don’t like me too much…), but I think he’d be far better qualified to discuss this topic with Stephana. I think I’ll send this article to him and ask him to join us, although he might ignore my email, as he often does.
Peace, John! Notice I didn’t say rest-in-peace (…even though you’re in your eighties…).
I don’t hold no grudges, and the Goddess Sophia still has you on this earth for a reason, to propagate Her message.
You interviewed with Jason “archaix” Breshears, who also said I was a pain in his ass, but eventually admitted I was “probably not a bad fellow”.
