The Gnostic Gospels: Including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene

So, here's the thing. Those of us that were conditioned by the Guardians of the Politically Correct Education System in an attempt to keep any of us from thinking for ourselves probably shouldn't read this book. Books like this that try to get us to realize that we have been lied to for the past 2,000 years or so about the true message of Jesus should be on every Loyalist's To Burn List. We have been taught a fabricated history by the winners of past Religious and Political Wars. The winners to date unfortunately tend to be those willing to do anything for their own vested interests. I will kill you in the name of the God of Love if you don't cowtow to the World System. The Gnostic Gospels are not a part of the Constantine Canon nor the King James Version of doctored historical fact. The Gnostic Gospels are Taboo according to the Mainstream Agenda. The separation of Church and State has been greatly exagerated for both are in the Control Business. The mainstream New Testament is a story primarily written by a Roman Jew, the self-appointed Apostle Paul. Someone that did not even know Jesus. Someone that believed in the inferiority of women and other forms of slavery as well. Someone that had a clever idea but not a true Gnostic Experience on the Road to Damascus. On the Road to kill some true Gnostic Christians Saul of Tarsus, also known as the Apostle Paul, had a vision of how to do even more harm to the Liberation Movement started by Jesus than just a few more beheadings. A Roman Jew with a very high status within what Jesus himself called the Synagogue of Satan became the Apostle to the Gentiles. The rest is history my friend. Not the history of Jesus, but the history of Saul of Tarsus. If you really want to know the truth then the Gnostic Gospels is a good place to start. More lies about the Gnostics have been told about them than any other Denomination. The Demonized Denomination is not the Denomination of Demons but the one and only true Denomination of Truth. A truth not revealied through words but through a direct expereince of the presence of God within one's own heart. For Jesus taught the masses through parables and myths for they have eyes but they cannot see and ears but they cannot hear. To his closest disciples, followers, he taught with words something that was beyond words. He taught about a way of knowing more real than words can express. A way of coming into the direct presence of God not through this or that but within one's own heart. The keys to the Kingdom of Heaven are found within. This is the true Gnostic Experience. Any doctrine that is not about this greatest of all love stories first and foremost is the true heresy in all its many forms and story lines. There is only one true Chuch of God. The Church of the Great Within. The Church of an inner experience greater than any and all outer experiences. A Church that is open to anyone and everyone from every time and place. The Church of Love. For as the true Apostle John noted, "God is love"! Any other God is a false god. A Loving God wants us to know the Truth. The message of Jesus was and is not about what one should or should not believe, but about what one should know. The Truth. And the only way to know the Truth is to experience the Truth for ourself. Directly, and not just through words. The Truth is greater than any fiction.

very nice; great for my collection

Book is smaller than expected and I wear eye glasses.

Well worth reading!

I am about to start reading it, but will need to find a page magnifier as the font is so tiny. I appreciate other reviews that confirm this will be a worthwhile read.
