Gospel of the Savior (1 of 2)

I love finding new “lost manuscripts” that don’t get the publicity they should. Some discoveries make headlines for decades and others barely a mention. This particular text is one that has been over looked. The so called “Gospel of the Savior” is from a collection of fragments at the Berlin Egyptian Museum and was purchased …

Mary Magdalene and the resurrected Christ

With this post, I wanted to compare all the instances where Mary Magdalene meets the resurrected Christ.

Christ’s descent into Hell

I’ll post one of those pics below with the transcript of the text. The section of Truth I decided to recite is of the section …

Gospel of Philip – Saying 107 (Bridal Chamber)

With this post, I decided to include my MidJourney A.I. artwork based on saying 107 from the Gospel of Philip as well as a reading of it. For the artwork and reading, I used the translation by Daniel McCoy, that can be found at: https://gnosticismexplained.org/the-gospel-of-philip/ I highly enjoy Daniel’s translations, and recommend you all check …
