Publisher's Synopsis
Expanded and revised in 2022, Heresies of a Heathen is now a narrated spiritual journey through the Gnostic Gospels and teachings of the esoteric mystery schools traditionally condemned and discarded by Christian authorities, now constituting a powerful perspective on the gnostic nature of spiritual truth and the many means of its revelation. Why the title "Heresies of a Heathen?" Because whether you're considered a member of the club, or you've been cast out and stoned with self-righteous condemnations like 'heathen, ' whether your understanding of God is orthodox and commonly accepted, or you're the 'spiritual but not religious' type like me who speaks of the spiritual in 'heresies, ' you can never actually be cast out of God's company, for God's company is absolutely inclusive. The truth is that even the 'heathen' thinking 'heretically' can offer insights into the spiritual (or 'metaphysical') nature of existence and, in fact, some argue that it requires the ability to look outside of conventional lines oppressively drawn to control us in order to best see God. This has, in fact, been my own experience, as God has led me to truths which can never belong to any one religion or group of people, and I'm offended by the attempt of religion to control divinity. In my own quest to understand the nature of divinity, I've learned of God to be the eternal, conscious energy essential to all people, places and things, including spacetime and matter and all forms of life manifested by God's divine force, regardless of grouping and label.
