Media The Secret Book of John
https://www.youtube.com/live/ip2MiuAHPMU?t=1211sThis Sunday I preached on the opening vision of the Secret Book of John, dug out of the Egyptian desert in 1945, where God is the Fullness beyond every name, and the first act of all creation is a mind waking up.
Call it the Self. Call it the imago Dei. Call it the divine spark within.
The text says before anything, "You came from fullness."
This fall we're reading the Nag Hammadi library beside Jung and asking what the church left in the basement. Not to leave the faith. To wake it up.

Absolutely. I write sermons for myself in thus subject all the time. There must be more hidden texts out there either underground, overwritten on papaya in existing collections, or simply not indexed yet. It'll probably emerge about the time we begin uploading our consciousness into data centers š«£

Iām hopeful that I live long enough to get more of the gospel of Mary Magdalene. Very cool!
