This re-evaluation does not necessitate a rejection of the canonical Gospels, but rather a richer, more contextualized reading of them, informed by the wider spectrum of early Christian literature. It means understanding that the “orthodox” narrative that eventually prevailed was not the only narrative at play in the 1st and 2nd centuries. #religion #Christianity #history #WendellSweet religion, Christianity, history, Wendell Sweet

In the epoch before epochs, before the first star ignited or the first whisper of thought coalesced, there existed a state of being so profound, so utterly complete, that it defied definition. It was a boundless, uncolored tranquility, an expanse that knew no north or south, no rise or fall, no beginning or end. Imagine a canvas unpainted, a song unsung, a silence pregnant with all possibility, yet utterly devoid of form or shadow. In this infinite quietude, there were no shadows to define…

He remembered the drive that day, the specific curve of the road, the way the late afternoon sun had slanted through the windshield. He dissected every moment, every conversation, every decision, searching for the infinitesimal pivot point, the single missed cue that had led to this catastrophic conclusion. The “what ifs” were a relentless barrage, each hypothetical scenario a fresh wave of guilt washing over him. What if he’d taken a different route? What if he’d been driving slower? What…

My body felt heavy, leaden, as if anchored to the ground by unseen chains. The air hung thick and cloying, a miasma of decay and something else… something feral, something primal.

The world exploded in a cacophony of pain. A throbbing in my skull, a dull roar in my ears, a nauseating stench that clung to the back of my throat – these were the first sensations that pierced the darkness. My eyes fluttered open, met not by the comforting glow of dawn but by a chaotic panorama of shattered concrete, twisted metal, and the horrifying tableau of broken bodies. I was trapped, bound tightly, my wrists and ankles secured by thick, rough rope that bit into my flesh.Pa… Surviving the Wasteland eBook by Dell George – EPUB | Rakuten Kobo United States

| Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, and mountaineer who founded the religious philosophy of Thelema. He called himself “the Great Beast 666” and embraced a provocative public image that earned him the tabloid label “the wickedest man in the world.” Crowley was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn before breaking away to develop his own system, heavily influenced by his 1904 Cairo experience where he said a spiritual entity named Aiwass dictated The Book of the Law. The central tenet of Thelema is “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will,” which Crowley interpreted as discovering and following one’s True Will. He wrote extensively on mysticism, yoga, and magic — which he spelled “magick” to distinguish it from stage illusion — including works like Magick in Theory and Practice and The Book of Thoth. His influence shows up all over 20th-century counterculture, from rock musicians to modern occult movements, even though he died in poverty and relative obscurity in Hastings, England. |
The rise of the horror genre provided a particularly fertile ground for Crowley’s influence to manifest. Films that explored themes of witchcraft, devil worship, and demonic possession often drew upon the popular imagery associated with figures like Crowley. While he may not have been explicitly named, the archetype of the charismatic, dangerous occultist, the master of dark arts, owes a significant debt to the media’s sensationalized portrayal of Crowley.

| This book is based on the actual gospel of Mary the Magdalene: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was first discovered in the late 19th century, with the most important surviving fragment found in 1896. This fragment, known as the Berlin Codex (Papyrus Berolinensis 8502), was discovered near Akhmim in Upper Egypt and purchased in Cairo by German scholar Carl Reinhardt www.gnosis.org. It was later taken to Berlin, where it was preserved and eventually published in 1955 www.gnosis.org. In addition to the Berlin Codex, smaller fragments of the text were found in the Oxyrhynchus Papyri in Egypt, with the earliest Greek fragment (Papyrus Oxyrhynchus L 3525) dating to the early 3rd century Wikipedia. These discoveries revealed that the Gospel of Mary existed in both Greek and Coptic versions and was part of a Gnostic manuscript collection. Scholars generally date the composition of the Gospel of Mary to the second century AD, though some place it slightly earlier Wikipedia. It is not considered one of the four canonical Gospels and reflects Gnostic theological ideas rather than the mainstream Christian narrative Bible Hub. |

| This book is based on the gospel of Mary the Magdalene as well as other gospels: The first centuries of Christianity involved major debate over which books belonged in the New Testament canon. Generally, books widely believed to be the earliest accounts about Jesus made it in, while others were labeled apocryphal. Some of those rejected texts were actively suppressed and now exist only as fragments or references in writings that condemned them. Early canon lists also differed from today’s: Revelation was disputed by some, while the Shepherd of Hermas was accepted by others and even appears in Codex Sinaiticus after Revelation. Different traditions had their own variations. The Syriac Peshitta originally excluded 2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation, leaving a 22-book canon cited by John Chrysostom and Theodoret. Western Syrian churches added those five books later, though some Eastern churches still use lectionaries based on the original 22. The Armenian Apostolic Church sometimes included 3 Corinthians and didn’t accept Revelation into its Bible until around 1200 CE. In a patriarchal society it was easy to suppress the gospel of Mary among other texts that did not fit the narrative the church wished for. |

Years of meticulous planning had gone into her outfitting, every piece of equipment chosen for its reliability and suitability for long-distance cruising. Solar panels were integrated into the deck’s design, promising a sustainable source of power, while a robust water filtration system was a testament to their commitment to self-sufficiency. Their stores were a carefully curated blend of practicality and foresight, reflecting Sarah’s talent for organization and Mark’s insistence on preparedness. They had even managed to pack a small, yet promising, hydroponic garden kit, a hopeful nod to their landlocked life and a potential source of fresh greens should their culinary adventures on the ocean prove less bountiful. #Ocean #Sea #Adventure #Shipwrecked #eBooks #Kobo #SciFi #Fantasy

The Re Do
by W. G. Sweet
The nightmare would begin insidiously, with the faintest whisper of a sound, a familiar vibration that would build, slowly at first, then with terrifying speed. It was the hum of the engine, the low thrum of the car carrying them towards an unseen precipice. He would feel the familiar press of the seat beneath him, the faint scent of Ann’s perfume, a scent that would soon be overwhelmed by the acrid stench of burnt rubber and fear. Then, the unmistakable sound, the prelude to chaos: the high-pitched shriek of tires desperately seeking purchase on asphalt, a sound that ripped through the fabric of the night and into the very marrow of his bones… #Horror #Thriller #Romance #Readers #Kobo #WGSweet
