Haven't We Met Before, Somewhere? [An original piano improvisation]

Tonight

Unlocked after one year for patrons only:
The secretive Gnostic stream of Christianity, which taught a radically different metaphysics and spiritual cosmology from "orthodox" doctrine in the first four hundred years of the church, was largely lost to history, until 1945, when a camel-herder in a remote part of Egypt stumbled upon an old ceremic jar with 13 massive books containing 52 ancient Gnostic texts.  We consider what the so-called "Nag Hammadi LIbrary," which may have been hidden in the desert to protect it from destruction, reveals about the origins and importance of the Gnostics' secret teachings.

Image: A Nag Hammadi codex open to the beginning of the Apocryphon of John.

Suggested further reading:  Jean Doresse, "The Discovery of the Nag Hammadi Texts";  Elaine Pagels, "The Gnostic Gospels."

Unlocked:  Doorways in Time, 2 -- Nag Hammadi Library and the Gnostic Gospels

Written after reading the horrible news story of a man who shot himself in the woods after discovering he'd accidentally left his infant son to die in his hot car in the middle of summer.  

Other than that catalyst, this is all entirely fiction. Note: this is NOT a song glorifying or making light of parental neglect, or tragedies like this. At all. It's a fictional song inspired by something real that happened, attempting to get inside the anguished mind of someone who fucked up in the worst way and paid the ultimate price.

"The Goal Is To Stack Bodies" - Special Forces Soldier Speaks Out [PREVIEW from EYES LEFT Podcast]

This week, Deborah Jones and Thandisizwe Chimurenga joins us to discuss their book, "What We Stood For: The Story of a Revolutionary Black Woman", and we talk to Cheri Honkala and Shamako Noble about their work with the Poor Peoples Army and the actions planned for this summer's democratic and republican national conventions. But first, Steven Salaita joins in conversation about his book, "An Honest Living: A Memoir of Peculiar Itineraries", which details his life after being terminated from a tenured professorship in 2014 for his principled political opinions.

Black Agenda Radio 3.8.2024

History lectures by Samuel Biagetti, a historian (and antique dealer) with a Phd in early American history; my dissertation was on Freemasonry in the 1700s. I focus on the historical myths and distortions, from "the Middle Ages" to "Race," that people use to rationalize the world in which we live.   More info at www.historiansplaining.com
