  • Gnosticism is a fascinating subject that we only truly started to understand last century (Nag Hammadi). What’s really blown my socks through my shoes is the possibility that Jesus was originally understood as a heavenly figure (crucified in the firmament) and the earthly biography came later.

    As with Gnosticism, the early church would have suppressed all documents contradicting their narrative, but there’s reasonably compelling evidence that no one wrote of a man on earth for the first four decades of christian thought. This is something I’ve been reading about for the last several months. “The Jesus Puzzle” makes a great case for this idea.






  • I want to participate, but finding the rare pics when they’re yawning in a pile of thousands is too much. I looked through the past year and gave up. It’ll have to happen organically. But when I find one, I’ll post it.

    Also, one of my kitties had lion buzz after heatstroke when we were driving through the Mojave desert and the AC died. Can’t even find those pics atm. Wow, I really need to organize my data. That’s a job for future me.
