“The earthly rulers wanted to deceive people, since they understood people have the same origin with the really worthy. They took good names and gave these names to bad things in order to deceive people and bind them to the bad in this way. And now these earthly rulers suggest to people that they keep away from the ‘bad’ and cling to the ‘good.’ These earthly rules strive to make formerly free men slaves forever.” Jesus said this according to Philip, an apostle.” Gospel of Philip
“Humanity has been left alone. The gods, fallen angels, Nephilim, and their spirits are gone. Religion has been outlawed and its books banned. When Sophia Riley discovers hidden religious, historical, and scientific texts, she challenges an authoritarian world determined to forget its past. Her mission is to answer humanity’s greatest questions: Who are we, where did we come from, where are we going, and how do we get there?
“Religion, science, and history tell the same story in different words. Wisdom can be found and proven but love – the Christ Factor – is harder to explain. Along with self-preservation and reproduction, humanity once understood a third drive: preserving the species itself. Ancient texts called our loss of this understanding ‘the error of forgetfulness.’ We have forgotten empathy – and we must rediscover it.” ~ an excerpt from this book
