Hello. :-)
I recently created a website for the book The Gospel of Thomas: A Blueprint for Spiritual Growth by David F. Capps. It contains the unabridged (complete) version of the paperback book. This way anyone with an Internet connection can access the Gnostic teachings on this site for free.
Feel free to check it out if you wish. You may also link up to our site and otherwise pass this information on to others if you're interested.
Please copy-and-paste the link if necessary.

The Gospel of Thomas: A Blueprint for Spiritual Growth by David F. Capps (book summary):
In this book, David gives his spiritual insight into the inner meanings of the 114 sayings of Jesus as written down by Didymos Judas Thomas. The information he presents is remarkably clear and easy to understand. He reveals how Jesus was explaining to his disciples an inner path that led to full enlightenment.
Instead of focusing our efforts on the world or on controlling others in order to gain meaning and satisfaction (basically gratifying our egos), Jesus shows us that the road to true happiness and fulfillment comes through the gradual process of self-discovery and eliminating everything that prevents us from experiencing the full presence of God.
The exercises David presents at the end of the book give us a useful path into attaining gnosis - knowledge, wisdom, and insight that comes from the direct experience of God, as well as transforming our emotions from fear- and pride-based to love-based.
As David says in his book (the bottom of pg. 56), "Living in the presence of God is the single most powerful and transforming experience in life. You cannot go through that experience and not become a beautiful person within."
I posted a review of this book that further discusses its contents. If you wish to check it out, it's in the blog section of my MySpace profile.
The title of the blog is "This is what I've been searching for my whole life! :-D"
Take care and God bless you.
