    Hey Forum

    I havent been on nearly as much as I would like recently. Work is winding down and Ill be back in school soon so i will have more time to post

    Anyways, Id like to open a discussion about the Apocryphal Texts. I have been doing a bit of research into the Nag Hammadi scrolls. I like how these texts are essentially time capsules that have remained in relative stasis since the era of Christ. The Gospel of Thomas was a very interesting read. I have read most of The Essene Gospel of Peace but I have heard conflicting reports regarding their legitimacy. The Apocalypse of James I and II were some of the most moving pieces of literature I have ever read, and darn near reduced me to tears.

    Alternatively, if you are aware of any powerful and esoteric texts coming from Taoism or Zoroastrianism or the multitude of other ancient philosophies, I would be very interested in seeing what kind of wisdom they promote.

    So Forum once again I seek your wisdom

    Namaste

    There is only one tenant in esoteric Taoism. TEACH! Once you have completed the path and declared a master, you are expected to take a student and teach them what you have learned.

    IMO, Lukas' Jedi are modeled after the ancient Taoist/Chan tradition. Each master had only one student at a time. They wandered the countryside with their students and submitted only to a council of elders.

    Modern Taoism has gods and goddesses; rituals; standard worship practices; temples; etc. yuck!
