Yes. I have a copy. I need to dig through it too. I looked into both Nag Hammadi and Dead Sea Scrolls early in this ongoing research bender, like around September 2023. I got about 50 pages into my DSS book and then I stopped. I got something useful out of it but my attention must have gotten side tracked by another book. Recently I was surfing YouTube and found a channel called "Let's Talk Religion" so I made a playlist of a couple dozen videos and started listening my way through them. One was about the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Essenes. When I listened to it, the host was remarking upon a rather strict and unique rule from the DSS about not falling asleep during community meetings. This triggered a thought. I had just finished reading through the Kolbrin and I had remembered that there were a bunch of community rules/laws in several chapters. Given my claim that Moses brought Egyptian teachings to Judaism, I wondered if there was a similar rule about not falling asleep during community meetings in the Kolbrin. There was. Then I kept finding more and more and here we are. Nag Hammadi definitely deserves a deeper dive and it will happen. I might try to read that next, but I also need to finish a couple of Dolores Cannon books I started but didn't finish and I want to dig into Robert Monroe's stuff. I also really really want to spend time processing E. A. Wallis Budge's Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary. That book is a treasure trove for me. It'll probably wind up being responsible for a chapter's worth of content spread out across several chapters. This Kolbrin-Dead Sea Scroll connection is definitely going to be worth several pages in the book.

Haha there's too much to consume all at once, tradeoffs must be made. 🤣 A lot to do with gnostics feels like something that emerged from Jesus's time teaching what he learned (remembered). I suspect that the catholic church was created as a power grab & the gated teachings (aka the old & new testaments) were aligned with securing this power. It seems the gnostics taught that the God of old testament was the result of a divine seperation. This God is unaware of his origins & ignorantly believes himself to be the only God. They also taught that we each have a divine spark within us that is our connection back to the Pleroma, to Sophia. With that spark they believed that the Truth can be recognised by the human, completely negating the need for a human gatekeeper. The individual has the capacity to discern Truth within. To me it looks like an early form of decentralised spirituality. It screams of empowerment when so much religion screams control. This dudes YouTube channel & his interpretations are wild! Sorry, not sorry for the distraction 🫂 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUovesWcSVwtshYdjYDaDng
