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.
