Coffee Cigarettes and Gnosis Interview Downloads
My interview with Miguel Conner was broadcast on Sunday. The entire show will be available for download from the Freethoughtmedia site (for just $1) and an extensive excerpt (over 10 minutes) is available for free download. Below is Miguel's blurb for the interview.
The Gospel of Philip: Although known for its passages revealing the close relationship and making out of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, there are many insights in this mythical, allegorical Gospel that reveal the heart and soul of Gnosticism and the early, mystical Christianity that threatened the foundation of the new Roman Church.
Andrew Phillip Smith, author of ‘The Gospel of Philip’ & ‘The Gospel of Thomas: A New Translation Based on the Inner Meaning’ joins us on ‘Coffee, Cigarettes, & Gnosis’ this Sunday, September 10, at 3 PM PST/5 PM CST/6 PM EST at Freethoughtmedia.com.
Topics discussed:
--The origins, theology and secret meanings of The Gospel of Philip.
--The reality behind the depiction of the close and intimate relationship between Mary Magdalene and The Logos.
--The Gnostic Pauline and Johannine influences that permeate the Gospel of Philip.
--The history and philosophy of Valentinus, the great Gnostic Master, whose influence formed this Gospel, as well as many others in The Nag Hammadi Library. His movement was considered the most sophisticated, intellectual and moral of the Classic Gnostics, which made it the biggest menace to the nascent Catholic Church. In fact, Valentinus almost became the Pope of The Catholic Church, which would have changed history if not for an eleventh hour shift in fortune. If only…if only…
--We learn how to read this symbolical and abstract work that, in essence, will help us understand all other Christian texts in the right context.
--The Gospel of Philip has been called the Sacramental Gospel, being the first Christian work introducing a full catalogue of holy rituals. Is it possible that the Gnostics first conceived certain mystery rites that were later usurped by the Orthodox Church?
Like The Gospel of Philip says, ‘truth did not come into the world naked. It came in type and images. The world would not receive truth in any other way.’ Learn to see beyond the words, ideas and images that limit our spiritual transformation so that the truth will set us and the world free from the Angelic Mafia.
