Nag Hammadi Library/ Lost Books of the Bible
I'm not sure what others awarenesses are of these so I thought I would bring them forward.
Nag Hammadi Library The Gospel of Phillip is what made me think of doing this. Last night as I reflected on how in love I was with my Wife, Phillips wonderful words of Union and Balance came to me. The Gospel of Phillip A Classic, which I love as it reads like the Dhammapada, so simple and straight forward. The Gospel of Thomas Namaste

Possibly the most crucial part of these books perspectives being vilified has to do with what happens in this section.

This vid is pretty good. Definitely, it comes from the 'let these texts out' perspective and I'm not shy in saying Amen to that. The history, as to how they got heretical, is what interests me in all this. And in video 7 which I edited in while you posted that, is really the turning point in all this. And I like how they talk about the pre-Nicaean Creed Christians, which sound more and more familiar all the time.
