Two shows for four days on two Gnostic Saints and Orthodox Decepticons: The Gnostic Paul: Although considered by many as the father of Christianity, the...
... Hello, Willy. Are you asking where your quote came from or rather what ancient writing it is referring to? In any case, it would be helpful to have a bit...
Hi Cari; could you, or any of the other denizens of this group, provide me a 'where did this come from' answer. Thanks, willy << One of the Nag Hammadi Codices...
Hello all! I have found, in my scant recent research, Albert Pike to be quite fascinating. His view of Gnosticism/religion and his involvement with Free...
For the first time in history a comprehensive lexicon on Gnostic terminology has been published. More than a dictionary, it is perennial almanac and...
Cari, Mark, I've also been enjoying this discussion, and I'm very much looking forward to reading Pike more thoroughly; at the moment though I'm in the process...
... Mark, your contributions are always welcome. Thank you for your effort. I'll have to do a bit more reading in this area myself. Perhaps someone will pick...
Cari, I wish I had something more to add to this conversation. There was something about the rhetoric in this thread that seemed to "dangle." Kind of like "a...
Mark, thank you very much for the references. Yes, it does appear that even without the benefit of the later Nag Hammadi findings, Albert Pike did have some...
Cari, I was curious to see what Pike wrote related to this forum, and found the following: "To Philo the Jew, as to the Gnostics, the Supreme Being was the...
Greg, I'm really enjoying this conversation; and while I've never really thought about why a/o how it was that we (Masons and myself, for example) could have...
Terrie, I am sure, from the brief communications we have had, that I can understand why they would want you to take part in the conversation and discussion of...
... Terrie, that is fine, of course. I've been reading everyone's contributions, and I'd be interested to know if anyone has read Pike's take on this "Supreme...
Just a note to add, Greg. You alluded to 'friction' as say between Atheists and Masons as an example no doubt (so on and on,) perhaps, because of each'...
Typically, I think it's safe to say that I tend to keep my faith/beliefs pertaining to is/is not a supreme being/creator/god, so on, to myself. Feels private,...
Just a brief note to add: now that I think about it; all the Masons I know/have known and meet, none of them have ever suggested that I should join the ES...
First of all I guess I'd say that after Job's Daughters, honestly, I really didn't want to join the Eastern Star. From what I could see, and as you can...
Excellent input Greg I absolutely agree as well...do you have a pointer on the ancient history and the Qumranians. I belive it to be true and seems to be a...
Terrie, william, PMCV, Jim, all: The wheels of thought are rolling now! :)) First, I would like to adress a comment by Terrie about the differences not being...
Speaking of traveling, thinking about my fried Rex - I have been trying to find out what happened, how his cancer research went, how his last days were,...
Tell you what, socially, I sure do agree. For example, the last time I was stuck in a one horse town in the middle of no-where I found something really fun to...
I agree with you Terrie on these points, Â It is a social organization and sort of fills that role for me. In this neck of the woods most social and religious...
What I like about Masonry first, as an organization, is their social outreach; typically, they volunteer their time and donate (so on) to organizations like...
Hi everyone, guess i've just been lurking huh, I also am a 3rd degree mason, my understanding of the masoninc qaulification is "do you believe in God?", no...
actually Terrie Im being clandestine in my comments. Ive been known to travel in the past. didnt go as far though in my travels. Also as I grow in gnosis I do...
Terrie I would agree with an earlier commenter. while many in this group have some knowledge of gnosis , not many are masons..that may limit thier input. Why...
Hey Terrie My thought is that we should talk about and compare these issues before we really say whether there is a contrast or friction between Freemasons and...
Hey Greg ... I think the subject of where Freemason and Gnostic perspectives are (were) similar and where they are different are two different subjects that...
