Nag Hammadi

Post Reply New Topic

For people who have read it, post your favorite passage and explain what it means to you.


"Whoever has ears to hear about the infinities, let him hear!"; and "I have addressed those who are awake." Still he continued and said: "Everything that came from the perishable will perish, since it came from the perishable. But whatever came from imperishableness does not perish but becomes imperishable. So, many men went astray because they had not known this difference and they died." The Sophia of Jesus

All perishable things are things of this world, matter. Imperishable is energy. Many people do not see the difference.

It reminds me of the character "The Sphinx" from the Ben Stiller movie "Mystery Men".

The Sphinx: To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn.
The Sphinx: He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions.

The Nag Hammadi and The Sphinx are equally inane.

I don't think it is inane. It is probably the most profound literature I have ever read.
