I have found that this shed alot of light on the cryptic way that the Gnostic Gospels are written. I am out to find a sane Jesus because in the past I have suffered greatly with the belief of Fundamental CHristianity. ANd the fact that I am a fervent devout priestess of Sophia, for her wisdom is what saved me and brought me back to the true meaning of what being saved is. WIsdom saves....The beauty in life is what keeps me going. Or should Isay the beauty of the LIfe, the Light, and the Love. I am hard pressed to experience the sanity of wisdom wise.....

Blessed be TO me to our very depths lies there in a reservoir of dark and light.. The light being the bearer of all truth. The light of Goddess and the still mystical darkness that is of Sophia wisdom within. Those who seek her wisdom of this great knowing born of deep penetration of the soul and not surface overlooking of the truth which is born of empty fullness and full emptyness find refuge in her comprehension born of truth and not literalism.......BLessed be Kath Mon, 22 Jan 2007 03:49:59 GMT http://gnostics.tribe.net/thread/c5110990-c85c-4e8b-ab9b-678bf7ceda17#18ed1b34-a2d9-4626-b4e4-5e046351a1a0 $item.owner.firstName 2007-01-22T03:49:59Z http://gnostics.tribe.net/thread/c5110990-c85c-4e8b-ab9b-678bf7ceda17#ab4b9685-50c8-4cc8-90eb-61c41276d239 After puurchasing alot of books that seemed cryptic compared to this one it really opened my eyes as to the teachings being not literal but I got a taste of gnosis. Just a taste realizng that we dont have to take literally the gnostic and apocryphal teachings of Jesus. Also I noticed from reading Mead that there are pagan aspects to the scriptures as well. That joyed me because SOphia has come to me as an archteypal representative of the Divine Feminine in all her aspects of light and darkness. ANd after much torture over fundy past associations my eyes have finally opened unto these truths. I notice a distinctness for some reason to the deep truth outstretched to us in this book. If one has ears to hear and they are unclouded by surface sights and can intuitively glimpse it there is a distinct voice and it is not one telling us to renounce but to look deeper than we do into the things we percieve as so and as not so.....After all. Isnt heaven within and not without?
