Talk Gnosis

Don’t just do something…sit there. It’s time to pull out the meditation cushion and plop yourself down and get meditating, whatever your style might be. Centering prayer, mantra meditation, the bodyscan, there are so many techniques and so many methods, and we come at them from the Gnostic perspective. Bishop Tim Mansfield and Father Tony join our hosts Bishops Lainie and Ken to get contemplative on the topic of meditation and find out how mindfulness can aid in our quest for Gnosis.

Talk Gnosis After Dark #42

The beauty of the Gospel of Thomas is the layers and levels of meaning packed into every saying. On Talk Gnosis After Dark #41 we investigate Logion 23:

Jesus says: “I will choose you, one from a thousand and two from ten thousand, and those whom I have chosen will be lifted up, being one!”

This passage is a catalyst for Bishops Lainie and Ken, along with Father Tony and Brother Jonathan, to debate if Gnosticism is for all, to discuss union with the all, and to reveal the Gnostic trails laid out to us in our own lives.
