Some horn-tooting:

The Gospel of Thomas all this week on Coffee, Cigarettes & Gnosis
Category: Religion and Philosophy

Is The Gospel of Thomas Gnostic? The debate has raged for years, but we take a stand on the Fifth Gospel on the side of Gnosis. We also recap its history, impact, and decipher some of the harder and more mystical sayings. Astral Guest—Jeremy Puma, author of ‘The Face of the Sky and Earth‘ ‘Running Towards the Bomb’ and ‘Mysteries of the Gnostic Ascent’, as well as Owner/Administrator of http://www.palmtreegarden.org/ (one of the best, if not the best, Gnostic Communities on the Web).

As always to access the program:

–Go to my homepage http://www.thegodabovegod.com/
–Scroll down until you see the Stickam screen (the eye with the bloody tear)
–Click the music icon and voila…’Coffee, Cigarettes & Gnosis 58—Is the Gospel of Thomas Gnostic?’ will appear in its entirety!

And, of course, the show will be available all week at your convenience.

Topics discussed:

–The case of the Gospel of Thomas being a bonafide Gnostic treatise that includes Gnostic cosmology and theology.
–How Eastern concepts can help one unlock the mysteries of the Fifth Gospel.
–A recap of its history and evolution.
–How non-Gnostic can benefit from the timeless message of the Gnostic Logos.
–The different grouped themes one finds in the Gospel of Thomas.
–Jeremy’s views on the Gnostics, Gnosticism and Gnosis.

And much more!

This rather recent argument will perhaps never be solved, but at the end of the day it’s up to you and the gnosis you find in the sayings (or logia to sound all scholarly and stuff).
