Freshly broken ceramics are wicked sharp. I've sliced a finger on a broken base of a flowerpot while trying to clean it.

Dr. David Litwa’s course is a great value…I’m about half way through the 7 lectures and highly recommend it. The material sheds some light on my Greek heritage and perhaps why I had a direct visual encounter with the Demiurge/Yaldabaoth/Chnoubis back in 1991. I did not even know what Gnosticism was until 2020. As a child touring Greece in the 1970's, I remember actually walking and sitting where the Delphi oracles dwelt...the temples were not roped off back then. I was always caught in the duality of blending the Greek myths that my father taught me while also attending a Greek Orthodox church...I was never made aware or told about the interconnections.

The common thread running between the mystery schools and religions is that Consciousness is King. Agape love overcomes all and we are immortal.

Started the course today. Loving it! It really gave me insight already--and has a lot of relevancy to our human tendencies today. So fascinating!

The very first thing you are taught in the mysteries is that our assumptions about our time on this earth is life and what comes next is death but as we say in my tradition "see the end from the beginning " your divine spark is entombed in flesh.. the element of earth.. to put the mysteries in its proper context you must understand that this isn't life.. this is death and what comes next is life and we are all here and now in the underworld..

Derek thank for all you do, you help bring to ordinary folks awesome academics and engaging speakers like Dr Litwa. Have gladly subbed to his channel. When I'm in a better financial position I'd happily show him some proper practical Patreon appreciation, I guess I could hit the $2 tier at the moment.
Having heard about the sharp potsherd proof of devotion highlighted here, it is certainly easier to click a Patreon or subscribe button 🙂

(This could be just an accidental word-similarity, but:) Maybe the gentiles lived a life that was different than to the ones who were initiated... The gentiles lived a life with all their genitals still in tacked, so maybe that is why they were called gentiles.... just an interesting thought... 🤔{without trimming down the hair of the genitals, without cutting off the testicles, without circumcision of the genitals, etc}.... 🤔

@minutes 16:12 to 17:15.... Jesus In Matthew 19:12 explained why people do that... for the sake of the kingdom of heaven and he advised his followers to do it if they can.

[danielgallagher]

Jesus was secretly buried cuz he didn't come back before his disciples died like he said he would in Matthew Jesus said in Matthew 22 they will not have love or marriage he was wrong, , , we get eternal life with yamanaka factors not Jesus

[HHasan-ofvi]

Jews goes one side of extreme by rejecting Jesus Christ and Christians goes to other side of extreme by making him God of Trinity but Muslims stay in middle and on safe path similar to that of desciples and earliest followers of Jesus Christ i.e, Jewish Christians.
Both Christians and Muslims believe in Jesus second coming, I as a Muslim 💯 sure He will teach and Practice what he was doing 2 millennium before.
1. Shema Israel.
2. Sermon on mount
3. Lord's prayer.
4. Worship God Almighty alone without Trinity.
5. Circumcision.
6. Dietry law.
So I myself feel safe because I believe in all above mentioned points.
But what Gentile Christians will do when they will face Jesus Christ in his second coming because Paul the founder of Gentile Christianity will not come to rescue you.

Find it funny how many use the evil creator argument. But the evils of this world is man made not godly causes

Ya all are so far off the mark every guest on this show should throw their degrees in the toilet

I don’t wish to upset people and realise how beneficial believing can be, but the fact is that
Jesus wasn’t born on 25 December and no date is given anywhere. It was impossible for the Magi and shepherds to have been there on the same night e.g. the Magi followed a star that only appeared upon his birth. The two gospel accounts of his birth conflict – how? The only witnesses were his parents. Who delivered him?
The Basilica of the Nativity was apparently built on the site of the stable. How did they know over 35 years later, where he was born? It would have been developed. Downstairs you can kiss the exact spot where was born……how can they prove that?!
The four Gospels were not written by the names given to them and written forty or fifty years after his supposed death. Why take so long to record such a famous person?
Emperor Constantine created Christianity by issuing an Edict of Milan in 313 and proclaimed himself to be one. It was created to subdue great civil unrest to give the Jews somebody to believe in.
