ancient Gnosis

in Deep Dives3 months ago


Nag Hammadi Writings (also known as the Nag Hammadi Library) is a collection of early Christian texts that are mainly attributed to Gnostics.
It has been found in December 1945 near the small Egyptian village of Nag Hammadi by local farmers.
Most of these writings were previously unknown or only known in fragmentary form.
These include the Gospel of Thomas in particular.

In December 1945, Egyptian farmers were digging for a natural fertiliser at the foot of Jabal al-Tarif, a rocky slope about 11 km north-east of Nag Hammadi.
One of these farmers was Muhammed Ali, a member of the Samman clan, who told the story of the find years later.
While digging under a boulder to which they had tied their camels, the farmers came across a jug of red clay almost a metre high.

These 52 texts are considered to be original writings of the Gnostic tradition and are almost 2000 years old.
They are rare evidence of a mystical tradition with an extraordinary creation myth.

The texts also describe a non-human species called Archons, who are described as the rulers of humanity and at the same time as deceivers and tricksters.
A fascinating topic with explosive cross-connections to psychology and religion.


Here are finally some good videos, some years ago you could find nearly none.
Slowly they come








There is no other solution than ANARCHY
without archons


good luck
