Is it possible that Heaven is beyond our capacity to see because it is molecular scale? What if the Creator of Adam and Eve was DNA? What if the Devil was an ancient molecular virus? God is DNA is an unprecedented religious detective story-a modern scientific translation of ancient Gnostic secret teachings and ideas. Rogue scholar and author Paris Tosen takes one of the most controversial and revolutionary positions on the subject of pre-Christian religiosity, flying in the face of the foundation of the Christian faith and decodes the true meaning of God. This is a work that strongly resonates with alternative thinkers and anyone who is seeking salvation from the material prison. Not recommended for devout churchgoers.

WHAT IF? What if our task in life is to develop a spiritual understanding of our place in the Universe and the ability to relate harmoniously to all other species on Earth is a part of this development? What if each of us is already complete with an Inner Self, so that, given the right opportunity and conditions, we are sufficient of ourselves, to carry out this task of spiritual development? What if each of us is already a spiritual being with an indestructible relationship with God, regardless of any Man made religious overlay? What if God really has no interest in our physical welfare as this is mostly, within Man's abilities? And what if history is seen to suggest this is so? What if Science and Philosophy are the two ends of the same stick? What if death is simply a change from one form of reality into another? Perhaps, to the non-physical reality we experience as dreaming? What if, at death, each of us leaves this world as a spiritual identity - as we entered it, and then proceeds on to another stage of spiritual development appropriate to our level of understanding? What if all of this is so and we really have no need for competing man made religious systems of personal, spiritual salvation, with attendant religious guilt, domination, bigotry, and so on? Thin k about each of these for a minute or two and then ask yourself, truthfully, why they shouldn't be so..... About the Author: Robert Rowe, as a lad, he attended a local Methodist Church for his basic Christian religious upbringing. However, as many others have also discovered, answers to questions, which arose from enquiring minds, were either unavailable, or were a matter of opinion. This, of course, led to a confused understanding that, the Christian religion was divided in its views on various aspects of their beliefs, in many cases, according to each Churches selfish, points of view and, in some instances, the need for monetary gain. So, how could this be? Over the years, this led him to a very rudimentary interest in religions generally, with an emphasis in the three mono-Theistic religions, as these are inter-related, and, much later, a broadening of this interest to include basic Philosophy - the theory of living, and Science - the practice of living, to try to arrive at an irrevocable understanding that would include both disciplines, as these are the very basis of our lives. Further, if, as put forward by Science, that the Universe is composed of energy, then it's reasonable to assume that its Creator, whom we call God, will also be an energy source. Following this, it's also reasonable to allow for spiritual energy visualisations to also exist, on occasion. It was during these later years that it was apparent to him, that most of the problems associated with the three mono-Theistic religions arose, because they were based mainly on hearsay and opinions, put forward in ancient times by scholars and mystics. These were, later, interpreted and re-interpreted down through the years, often for religious gain rather than a search for truth, and that, without some rationalisation, these were no longer acceptable today. However, he felt that if God, is accepted as the supreme energy source, creating an energy Universe, and that both Philosophy and Science are the two instruments by which Mankind can "know" his creator, it is considered that Mankind will have taken a great step forward in his evolution, and History will have served its purpose as a background to the march forward. This book, "God - a balance of probabilities?" discusses this possibility into a probability. It is hoped you will agree.

At the age of forty, Ethel, who grew up in Los Angeles, California, decided to take possession of her true name, Hannah-the name on her Israeli birth certificate. To make a little ceremony of it, she asked the bishop of an esoteric storefront Gnostic church in Hollywood to baptize her. Without preconception or preparation, she found herself pulled into a world of early Christian myths and symbols. The "dreamtime" world that engulfed her after this baptism became her guidance, as marriage and family disintegrated. As Hannah, she was drawn up through church sacraments from a suburban life she'd never wanted to live, through a mystical initiation she never asked for, which culminated in ordination to the Gnostic priesthood. But that attainment was not the conclusion. Hannah Rappaport's memoir of this journey is mystical and pragmatic, heartbreaking and healing. "I am mesmerized by Hannah's story. When a Jewish woman can be utterly transformed by her encounter with an ancient Christian Wisdom Way, and still honor her roots, there is hope for peace on earth. Hannah Rappaport is a living example of the power of the interspiritual life. Highly recommended." Mirabai Starr, Author of GOD OF LOVE: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity & Islam "Hannah Rappaport's uniquely beautiful and accomplished tale of spiritual transformation will serve as guidance and inspiration for those who hear the call of the transcendent in their own lives."

Early Heresiological Works Against the Gnostics

Learn how we got the books of the Bible. There were prophets who proved they were from God by performing miracles and making localized predictions with one hundred percent accuracy. Their long range predictions were then recorded in the sixty-six books of the Bible. We can know this for a fact because over fifty of those long range prophecies have come to pass since the nation of Israel was reborn in AD 1948. The ancient church fathers teach the Gnostic gospels were demonically inspired. They contain no prophecy and their teachings contradict the teachings of the prophetically proven Word of God. In some cases the church fathers record which cults wrote which gnostic books and why they are to be considered heresy. The demonic Gnostic gospels teach reincarnation, that there are multiple gods, and that humans are divine. They teach that the use of sorcery is imperative for salvation. The Bible clearly teaches that there is only one God. We do not have a spark of God in us, nor are we evolving into gods. It also teaches that the use of sorcery is a sin that will damn people to an eternal hell, and that everyone will die only once, physically resurrect, and be judged. The Gnostic gospels are summarized in their own chapters showing why these are truly demonic gospels Brought to you by Biblefacts Ministries, biblefacts.org

2013 Reprint of 1906 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Three Volumes bound into one. Volume contents are: Vol. 1. Prolegomena. -- Vol. 2. Sermons. -- Vol. 3. Excerpts and fragments This work exemplifies all that is best in Mead's dedicated, scholarly, but eminently readable studies of the spiritual roots of Christian Gnosticism and, more generally, of personal religion in the Greco-Roman world. His work encompassed much more than this; Mead was equally at home with Sanskrit texts, Patristic literature, Buddhist thought, and the problems of contemporary philosophy and psychical research. He devoted his intellectual energy to the complex interplay of Gnosticism, Hellenism, Judaism, and Christianity. This three volume set presents his insights into the formation of the Gnostic world-view and establishes him as an outstanding translator of these Hermetic books, and as the first modern scholar of Gnostic tradition.

In this selection of inspired writings - poetry as well as prose - Phillip Medhurst expresses Gnostic Truth as manifested in the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, who is revealed as "Gnosis made word."

From the time of the founding of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, over a hundred years ago, there has been a continued and increasing interest in ancient Egyptian spirituality. Brian Brown's book, written in 1923, is a wonderfully insightful study of the Religion and Philosophy of this ancient people, revealing the astonishing depth and subtlety of the Egyptian world-view. His work covers such diverse topics as Creation myths and sun-gods, through the hymns of the 'Book of the Dead', to Hermetic Philosophy and Egyptian Magic. An invaluable overview of this fascinating subject that will be of unfailing interest to all those drawn to esoteric and occult matters.

The Gospel of Thomas contains only 114 of Jesus' sayings, but its powerful message has rocked conventional understanding of who Jesus was and what he taught. In Thomas, Jesus is not a savior, a messiah or a Christ. He does not die for anyone's sins, and resurrection is not even mentioned. He is not considered the only-begotten Son of God, God incarnate or even a master over his followers. If he's not portrayed in any of the roles that are customarily assigned to him, what part does he play? In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus is a human who has had his spiritual eyes opened through gnosis, a direct, personal experience of the Divine. His teachings are based on an understanding of the universe that quantum research is currently confirming. When we listen, his words can correct the misperceptions that fill our world with fear. We all have a choice to make. We can take a "quantum" approach to Jesus' teachings or cling to an outdated interpretation of his words that cannot be reconciled with scientific research. We've discovered that the synergy of science and spirituality has the power to transform your life. We invite you to join us in exploring Jesus' parables and sayings from a quantum perspective. But like Jesus, it is not our intention to give you more words to follow, but to offer a reason for you to want to experience the Divine for yourself.

"Everything you ever wanted to know about gnosis, but were afraid to ask " In "How to Think Like a Gnostic," Jeremy Puma builds upon his previous work in Gnostic philosophy, approaching it as a functional worldview for a solitary practitioner. Breaking down the Gnostic myth to its basic components, Puma clarifies the often inscrutable aspects of Gnostic thought without talking down to the reader or oversimplifying the material. Accessible, interesting, and often humorous, "How to Think Like a Gnostic" is a must for the library of anyone interested in the Gnostic Way. ""How To Think Like a Gnostic" explores a genuinely Sethian Gnostic path with plenty of perceptive insights and new perspectives." - Andrew Phillip Smith, author of "A Dictionary of Gnosticism"
