# Meditations for tonight

Personal, religious @ 24 December 2006

“For whatever you say in the dark, will be heard in the light. And that which you whisper in the ears, shall be preached from the rooftops.” Gospel of Luke 12 3

Jesus said, ‘Don’t lie, and don’t do what you hate, because all things are disclosed before heaven. After all, there is nothing hidden that won’t be revealed, and there is nothing covered up that will remain undisclosed.’” Gospel of Thomas 6

“You who were in silence, speak, for your mouth has been opened.” Odes of Solomon - Ode 8

“Lift up your eyes and look at the cloud and the light within it and the stars
surrounding it. The star that leads the way is your star” Gospel of Judas

“Speak of the truth with those who search for it, and (of) knowledge to those who have committed sin in their error” Gospel of Truth

“Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Pistis Sophia Book 1 Chapter 43

“Our tongues shall relate thy might, we will sing and praise thy wondrous works” Book Of Jasher 89 20
There we go. We must spread our knowledge, our beliefs, our perceptions… not just religious thoughts, but your other thoughts too. The books above are mostly Gnostic and/or Apocryphal and/or Pseudopigraphical Judeo/Christian (many thanks to the linked resources).

Tonight Channel 4 showed “The Lost Gospal of Judas”, I found the program quite inspirational. They made some very valid points about why Gnosticism was lost, mainly one person on the program said something like: “the Gnostics taught that knowledge can be found within, so the church fathers did not like this because followers could look inside themselves for answers”. I feel that Gnosticism should probably be looked at again, a modern perspective on this meditational and mystical denomination of Christianity cannot do harm.

A message to religions and religious denominations and believers: Please, please, please let yourself/your-followers read books of other religions and paths, even if they are considered apocryphal or gnostic or mystic or even blasphemic… sometimes there is value. Christians - pick up the apocryphal texts and the gnostic texts, Jews - pick up the Kabbalah, Pagans - carry on reading (including Christian texts), Buddhists - read about Taoism or Confusionism, and Non-believers - pick up something! (Windows users - use a Mac or Linux)
Really useful website is Sacred-Texts: https://www.sacred-texts.com/

For now, goodnight. Take it easy, think, relax… and if I don’t write a post before Christmas (Hannukah and Yule/Litha and Feast of Stephen and Hajj and Zarathosht Diso and Holy Innocents and any other holiday that is appearing around this time) - have a good one.

Daniel
