One view is that we can’t live fully with such a feeling unless we have a form of spiritual awakening or reaffirmation, where we sense a deeper Ok-ness about life and death, and what might occur in the future. That is one reason why I have been making more time for my own spiritual life and also engaging in comparative religious inquiry. Therefore, ahead of the Metacrisis Meeting on Monday 2nd March, I share my particular take on the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas. It is one of the ancient Nag Hammadi texts which were first translated in the 1970s. It never made it into the Bible. The text reveals to us how the story of what ancient Gnostics believed was mostly a fiction from their persecutors. In the essay I focus on what the Gospel says about the relationship between Spirit and Matter. That's partly because many people have argued that the greater dualism in Abrahamic religions led to a desacralisation of nature which provided a conceptual basis for its oppression and destruction.
