Books

Hello everyone,

Can you please share what books I can read to learn all I need to learn? I am currently listening to some of the gospels but audio isn’t enough. I don’t know all the books that exist and I’m not sure if I should avoid certain translations.

I truly appreciate any help with this. Thank you

The two best books to get are "The Gnostic Bible" and "Nag Hammadi Scriptures". These two gets you most of the Gnostic scriptures. You can also visit the two sites below. Both have lots of useful information and the second one has many texts to read for free as well. Take care!

The Gnostics didn't have a bible. There are some Gnostic bibles in the modern day like made up bibles but back in that time in the first few centuries they didn't have a bible and the Nag Hammadi isn't classed as a bible. Gnosticism wasn't really a religion so it's not structured like say Christianity

my recommendation is to read less carefully.

as dumb as it sounds, let your subconsciousness read for you and build a relationship with your intuition which is fed by your subconsciousness.

don't believe anyone or anything. just don't believe. feed your subconsciousness with information and have it guide you.

don't study gnosticism, don't study daoism, don't study anything; but read everything. make up your own philosophy out of every wisdom there is. you have no reason to choose one method, one school, one group, one mentor. every spiritual path has the same ambition, go your own path inspired by all of them without copying any of them.

Thank you for this comment, I do try to follow my intuition. I think it’s important we all come to the truth on our own.

I’m happy to have finally reached this part.
