Next Session -- The Gospel of Truth

The Gospel of Truth

TUESDAY, APRIL 29   |  7-8:30 pm ET


The Gospel of Truth is considered to be one of the earliest surviving sermons of Christian mysticism. It is a Christian sermon that focuses on the theme of salvation through gnosis, or acquaintance with God through the vehicle of the Holy Spirit. 


  

“The gospel of truth is joy for people who have received grace from the Father of truth, that they might know him through the power of the Word.” 


The Gospel of Truth’s opening line reveals its two main characters: the Father of Truth and the Father of the Word — both belong to the Divine Realm. 


Immediately we notice a parallel with The Gospel of John’s opening line: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1 NRSV). 


ENROLL IN THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH

About the Gnostic Gospels

Spiritual Studies of these sacred texts offer many benefits...

Studying the Gnostic Gospels offers a unique and enriching perspective on spirituality and early Christian thought. 


By exploring these texts, you will obtain a renewed Awareness of what your spiritual beliefs ARE, and the wisdom to engage with your Spiritual practices in a deeply personal way. 


Personal Exploration: Gnostic texts encourage a personal journey towards understanding spiritual truths, empowering you  to engage directly with your spiritual experiences.


Understanding Duality: Gnostic theology often embraces a dualistic view of existence, helping individuals comprehend the complexities of life, including the interplay between light and darkness, good and evil.


Alternative Perspectives: The Gnostic Gospels offer alternative views on Jesus and his teachings, providing a different perspective from the canonical gospels and challenging traditional interpretations.


Spiritual Enlightenment: Many Gnostic texts focus on attaining spiritual enlightenment and reveal hidden meanings behind traditional Christian teachings.

What to Expect from this Spiritual Study

Image of sacred text with candles for what to expect from Buddhi Institute wisdom classes.

It is Best to view these texts with an open Mind.

These gospels are VERY different from the gospel narratives we are accustomed to in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For that reason, it is best to arrive here with an open mind, ready to learn about the teachings of Jesus with NEW ears. 

Expect to connect with others of like-mind

All who attend Buddhi Institute Wisdom online courses are on a Spiritual Journey of Self-Discovery.   Our viewpoints may differ, and this is why the discussions in our Women's Wisdom Circle are so enjoyable...we learn from each other.  But we do all come to the "table" from a place of Love and respect. 

Q and A after each Session

 Each class provides a Wisdom Teaching, guided instruction, and time for questions and answers.   Discussion about our experiences helps you to achieve that.  

One-to-One Mentoring Available

 If you would like to study one-to-one with the instructor, that option is available for an additional cost. Private coaching is only $60 per session for enrolled students.
