Download or read book L'Allogène written by Wolf-Peter Funk and published by Presses Université Laval. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le traite intitule L'Allogene (litteralement d'une autre race, etranger) est une apocalypse qui raconte la montee dans l'au-dela d'un personnage denomme Allogene et les revelations qu'il y recoit de la part d'etres divins. Ce traite appartient a un courant qui a du se developper apres 220 de notre ere (puisqu'il est inconnu d'Irenee et d'Hippolyte), probablement en Occident. Vers 300, Porphyre, dans sa Vie de Plotin, declare que le philosophe s'en prit a certains gnostiques qui produisaient des apocalypses de Zoroastre, de Zostrien, de Nicothee, d'Allogene, de Messos et d'autres figures du meme genre (16). La plupart des specialistes pensent que les traites Allogene et Zostrien retrouves a Nag Hammadi (NH XI, 3 et VIII, 1) doivent etre identifies aux revelations mentionnees par Porphyre. L'Allogene appartient a un ensemble d'ecrits, designes sous l'appellation de traites platonisants sethiens, qui comprend outre les deux traites connus de Porphyre, les Trois Steles de Seth (NH VII, 5) et Marsanes (NH X). Ces quatre traites partagent une metaphysique et une ontologie caracteristiques de Plotin et des neoplatoniciens tardifs, ainsi que de certaines sources medioplatoniciennes. Les particularites linguistiques et les nombreuses difficultes que presente le texte copte de L'Allogene indiquent qu'il s'agit tres certainement d'un ouvrage originellement compose en grec et dont le vocabulaire metaphysique d'une grande technicite a du representer un defi de taille pour ses traducteurs coptes. L'original grec a vraisemblablement ete compose quelque part en Mediterranee orientale, peut-etre a Alexandrie, vers 240, pour ensuite aboutir a Rome au milieu du IIe siecle, ou il fut lu et refute dans l'ecole de Plotin. C'est dire son importance pour l'histoire du gnosticisme et pour celle du platonisme. Le present volume offre une introduction au traite, un texte copte nouvellement etabli, une traduction francaise et un index verborum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost in antiquity, rediscovered in 1896, and only recently accessible for study, The Secret Revelation of John offers a firsthand look into the diversity of Christianity before the establishment of canon and creed. Karen L. King offers an illuminating reading of this ancient text--a narrative of the creation of the universe and humanity and a guide to justice and salvation, said to be Christ's revelation to his disciple John. Freeing the Revelation from the category of "Gnosticism" to which such accounts were relegated, King shows how the Biblical text could be read by early Christians in radical and revisionary ways. By placing the Revelation in its social and intellectual milieu, she revises our understanding of early Christianity and, more generally, religious thought in the ancient Mediterranean world. Her work helps the modern reader through many intriguing--but confusing--ideas in the text: for example, that the creator god of Genesis, a self-described jealous and exclusive god, is not the true Deity but a kind of fallen angel; or, in an overt critique of patriarchy unique in ancient literature, the declaration that the subordination of woman to man was an ignorant act in direct violation of the "holy height." In King's analysis, the Revelation becomes not strange but a comprehensible religious vision--and a window on the religious culture of the Roman Empire. A translation of the complete Secret Revelation of John is included.

Starting from personal experiences with megalithic monuments and sites of ancient rock art, Gyrus unfolds implications and speculations that keep one eye on the latest academic research, the other on the unproven possibilities that intimacy with prehistoric relics affords.

Book excerpt: For nearly two thousand years a man called Jesus Christ has dominated the religious landscape of the Western World. Now, with the discovery of a corpus of ancient manuscripts from the desert sands of the Middle East and a fresh look at the New Testament Gospels, a new understanding of his rightful place in history and that of his remarkable family has emerged. In his own words, Jesus tells us his was a ministry limited in time and place to those who could see him and hear him, a ministry of personal non-sacrificial mystic salvation meant only for those alive when he was, the salvation of others being the responsibility of others like him. In words of undeniable clarity, Jesus indicates he wasn't alone in coming here as Savior. His cousin, John "the Baptist," and his brother, James "the Just," are shown to be Masters of the Highest Order, predecessor and successor, respectively, to Jesus. Amazingly, possible evidence for two more brothers of like stature is revealed. Newly discovered ancient manuscripts recovered from caves on the Dead Sea at Qumran and from the desert sands at Nag Hammadi near the Nile River lend an authority and authenticity unrivaled by even the Bible itself in support of this new view of "Messianism." The heart and soul of Christianity itself comes up for a full and honest examination when the self-proclaimed thirteenth apostle of Christ--Paul--is conclusively shown, almost unbelievably, by Jesus himself to be the perpetrator of the greatest fraud in the history of mankind: the false doctrine of universal sacrificial atonement through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. All this is aided and abetted by a centuries-long history of scribal and ecclesiastical corruption, both intentional and unintentional. It is time now for the world community to acknowledge this demonstrable certainty and harmonize the religious history of the Middle East with that of the Far East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, I attempt to reconcile events in the Bible to factual science discoveries such as archaeological and DNA discoveries. I explain what I believe was Moses’s true motivation for marching the slaves into Canaan and his embedded messages in his writings. Applying this theory, I now believe and explain why creating a god and religion was man’s early way of governing and controlling people, placing priests as the gatekeepers to heaven and giving them power over the masses. I explain how I believe that Moses’s writings sowed the seeds of racism, tribalism, sexism, and homophobia. The ripple effects through time perpetuated by the priests and clerics have created a divided, dysfunctional, and unholy society in the USA and abroad. Materialism and greed are the gods of today. Our society is and has always been man’s animal kingdom that has murdered Jesus, disconnecting us with the Holy Spirit and derailing our spiritual evolution.

Download or read book In The Beginning God Created a Hologram written by Frederick Guttmann and published by Frederick Guttmann. This book was released on with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike animals, we can consider that human beings attach great importance to our personal reality. Certainly, other forms of life that we know of on this planet do not have a sufficient level of consciousness to carry out this type of reasoning. Thinking about who we are, we cannot exclude another existential doubt: 'where do we come from?' Empirical science from the 16th to the 20th centuries would tell us that "simply" we proceed from certain "casual" processes in "particular" environments that resulted in various changes in life forms, which were changing psychically, morphologically and biologically, to go becoming completely different, and that thousands and millions of years later would become what we can now say that we are. Do you wonder what the mind has to do with the origin of the cosmos? Everything. I'm not going to address data that I covered half a decade ago in the initial Sakla Rebellion trilogy, but I do have to remind you, if you've read it, that mythology plays an important role in our understanding of the perceivable universe - as long as they're understood. their symbols and know how to adapt to the principles of the mind -. As a point of reference I use the story that we have received by transmission from the Hebrew prophet Moses (or Mashah, if we read it literally from the Hebrew language, or Moshe, as the Jews call him). Why? Well, I am Jewish by descent, an Israeli citizen and I speak Hebrew, so what better than to give my opinion from a more scholarly angle on this field? And if you ask me, why Moses? Although, I can take some isolated source as a skeleton to build the body of this book, but what happens is that the circumstances have occurred in such a way that these writings – which To the speculative and superstitious mind, man, and the rest of existing things, were created by one or more supernatural beings from some other state of abstract reality, while others would attribute this fact to a source in other dimensions, or other planets. Mythologies are a clear example of these phenomenal and acheetypal reasoning. Although, it was only until the consolidation of ideas about the mind that exploded with individuals like Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung - among many others - that mythology and its archetypes, and the idea of a Collective Mind, began to be understood. Already Plato and a few before him, even Freud and Jung, had commented on this, and had indicated the reality of Mind over the "world" of phenomena. However, the ability to deeply understand the apparent inscrutability of the Mind was not yet fully plausible until less than two centuries ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compose originellement en grec vers la fin du IIIe ou le debut du IVe siecle, probablement a Alexandrie, ce traite reflete des traditions mythologiques qui sont exposees de facon plus ample et plus precise dans les textes appartenant au groupe des textes sethiens platonisants, notamment Allogene et Zostrien. La maniere dont Marsanes reprend ces traditions mythologiques permet de le situer au terme de l'evolution litteraire attestee par ces textes. Marsanes est l'un des plus mal preserves des cinquante-quatre traites de la bibliotheque de Nag Hammadi. L'intention du traite est d'etablir l'autorite de Marsanes comme prophete, voyant et chef spirituel de sa communaute, et de presenter un enseignement detaille sur les principes premiers de la theologie sethienne, notamment sur la nature et la destinee de l'ame. Ce qui est particulier a Marsanes, c'est son souci de reveler les 'appellations' correctes des anges et des dieux, ainsi que des puissances planetaires et cosmiques qui controlent la destinee de l'ame, d'ou un interet tres grand pour les categories grammaticales et astrologiques. D'autre part, le traite est parseme d'exhortations qui montrent bien la relation etablie par l'auteur entre la connaissance qu'il communique a ses auditeurs et leur acces au salut. Le traite Marsanes presente une dette tres grande envers la tradition grecque, qu'il s'agisse des theories grammaticales, des speculations astrologiques et arithmologiques ou de la philosophie. Sur ce dernier plan, Marsanes se revele etonnament proche de philosophes neoplatoniciens comme Jamblique et Theodore d'Asinee. Le present volume offre une introduction developpee au traite Marsanes, un texte copte nouvellement etabli, une traduction francaise, le premier commentaire a etre consacre a cet ouvrage, ainsi qu'un 'index verborum' complet.

Download or read book Ancient Christian Magic written by Marvin W. Meyer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-04 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection of magical texts from ancient Egypt shows the exotic rituals, esoteric healing practices, and incantatory and supernatural dimensions that flowered in early Christianity. These remarkable Christian magical texts include curses, spells of protection from "headless powers" and evil spirits, spells invoking thunderous powers, descriptions of fire baptism, and even recipes from a magical "cookbook." Virtually all the texts are by Coptic Christians, and they date from about the 1st-12th centuries of the common era, with the majority from late antiquity. By placing these rarely seen texts in historical context and discussing their significance, the authors explore the place of healing, prayer, miracles, and magic in the early Christian experience, and expand our understanding of Christianity and Gnosticism as a vital folk religion.
