Mark Twain The Gnostic Gospels are a collection of 54 ancient texts which are based on teachings from Spiritual leaders dating back to the second century. The word Gnostic derives from the Greek word gnosis which is translated to "Knowledge" or "Enlightenment." Our story brings to life an interpretation of The Gospel of Truth, one of the Gnostic texts, where we meet Pistis Sophia. She is a troubled soul with many names and identities. After being seized by a longing for clarity, Pistis Sophia is separated from her consorts. In her journey she incurs the hatred of Authades, an evil soul. Deceived by Authades, Sophia is enticed into the depths of chaos, where she is deprived of hope. She must be made humble, and believing supplication to a higher power, she prays for deliverance. Imagine that Pistis Sophia were a real soul on earth today. Thrown into chaos by her enemies, her journey to find her family transforms her but she will need divine intervention to save her soul. Valentinus, a father of the Gnostic teachings, was born in the northern part of Egypt and migrated to Italy as a Catholic priest. Passed over for a promotion to become Bishop around 136 A.D., he left the church. He began to save souls in his own way. Unveiling Pistis Sophia's story, Valentinus's followers show us that there is more to the sacred texts than what we have been taught. Valentinus's fiercest opponent was Irenaeus, a Bishop in the Roman Empire. Irenaeus famously wrote 'Adversus Haereses, ' known by scholars as 'Against Heresies, ' that provides a detailed attack on Gnosticism. As an early church Father, his writings were influential in the initial development of Christian theology. Imagine if Valentinus and Irenaeus faced each other today, if the Catholic religion and others collapsed under the weight of their created anarchy. While Historians tell the story of our past, and while Scholars debate it, it is up to us to decide our future. Our souls, buried deep within, can lead us to eternal salvation or to purgatory. "He who is to have gnosis, or knowledge, knows where he comes from and where he is going." Gospel of Truth And the seer prophesized: "I saw an Angel with a flaming sword. The flames appeared as though they would scorch the earth. The angel pointed to his right, where an immense light shone and I knew it was our Father. The light was almost too bright for my eyes. It was like I was looking through a mirror. I saw religious leaders on their knees at the foot of a mountain. Coming from their own houses, they were making their way up to a large Cross that stood at the top. Each one was killed by their enemies who set their weapons upon them. In the same way I saw others slaughtered, men, women and children of different faiths. Two Angels on each side of the Cross scooped up the blood using a crystal basin filled with holy water. I could see they sprinkled the souls with the holy water as they were making their way to our Father."
