Product Description
-------------------
In this fascinating DVD, John Lamb Lash, comparative mythologist
and author of the classic book, Not In His Image, offers an
examination of the truths hidden deep within the ancient Gnostic
sects of Europe. Two thousand years ago the Pagan religion of
Gnosticism was one of the world's largest religious belief
systems. The Gnostics held a deep reverence for the earth in all
its wonder and beauty. In contrast to the teachings of the
patriarchal and monotheistic religious traditions, the Gnostic
creation mythos was centered upon the compelling story of the
Wisdom Goddess Sophia. This knowledge, which offers us new
in into the power of the earth as a vital living being, has
been brought forth today as a fundamental part of the Gaia
theory.
The Gnostics had many beliefs that were considered heretical by
the emerging Christian populations of classical Europe. John Lamb
Lash acquaints us with their unique perspective on the nature of
human experience and the destructive power of the mysterious
beings they called the Archons whose dark influence has led to
the fear-based, chaotic character of the times in which we live.
By assisting us in comprehending the Gnostics vast knowledge of
nature, the Earth, and the relationship between the
Goddess Sophia, and we who are her creation, he reconnects us
with our ancient heritage and offers a sacred path toward the
future.
Review
------
The Golden Globe winning movie AVATAR captured not only the
hearts of moviegoers around the world but also their spirit on a
very deep and personal level.
It has been reported elsewhere that James Cameron spent over
$300 million on the film AVATAR to bringthe very same idea
forward that John Lash presents in this 60 minute interview.
Sorry folks, the expensive special effects and 3D are not here,
but the big idea is. It is called GNOSIS.
Sacred Mysteries delivers once again in a most spectacular way.
They are tapping into the spirit of our times, or the zeitgeist.
John Lamb Lash is the man to see about the Gaia/Sophia mythology
and creation story. In this DVD Lash reinforcesideas he expressed
in his book NOT IN HIS IMAGE. Without spoiling the content, I can
say quite clearly that he turns mainstream religious ideas on
their head.
The production values in the film are of a high quality, along
with beautiful universal sweeping images and fractals. This is
truly a work to severly shake up your firmly held beliefs. It
will continue to make you think long after the film is over. I do
recommend this film as the real thing.
