Well I havent read it, but I've read The Gnostic Gospels which is a fantastic book onthe Nag Hammadi Library by Elaine Pagels, who is doing the intro. Its only about 200 pages but is considered the seminal introductory work on the library and is used in almost all of big popular works on the subject.

Allso there is a good course in the Teaching Company called Gnosticism: From Nag Hammadi to the Gospel of Judas, which is taught by a chair at Ohio State. Easy to pirate. Finally Bart Ehrman's Introduction to the New Testament is a great intro to gospel of thomas, which he believes is as good as a synoptic/q source.

Also reading the review in question pretty well done desu the comments suggest The Nag Hammadi Library, 1990 edition, edited by James M. Robinson

1.eating the right nutrition will do absolute wonders for your mental health. Supplement healthy eating with a workout regimen and daily meditation (start at 5 minutes and slowly work upwards to 20) and I guarantee you will see improvements.
2. I'd read Siddhartha

The age.

Does it believe in god?

Walk around the room while thinking of what to write next.

If it doesn't work, go outside and walk for half an hour while thinking about the same thing, then go back and write.

Don't force it. If you have written something good, and feel like you know what to say next, wait for tomorrow, so that you'll have something to write without without stalling.

Maybe its because you're a fucking human being that needs rest once in a while like everyone else.

lmfao

Can someone honestly explain the point of majoring in humanities? If you love to read books and study philosophy, read books and study philosophy, you don't need a "I've wasted 5 years of my life and acquired a debt" certificate to hang on a wall for that.
Go into STEM and be useful, faggot

Introduced me to Korzybski and Bateson reading Finnegans Wake to resist Francis E. Dec thought control and the general optimism of postwar cosmonauts before it was absorbed back into yuppie authenticity and churned out in star-shaped gruelblocks to be jammed down your throat by Apple iPod Incorporated

Has some comfy talks up on Youtube

I love him, only got into mememaster Pynchmon through him, thank u RAW for feeding me the freshest of maymes

Hey, same, he introduced me to Pynchon, top mememaster. The captain of hilarity, the czar of funny, the wacky wonderboy of... holy cow, I'm getting carried away here! I love Thomas Pynchon! He's so fucking good!

Would you fuck off, Sam? I read 'El Llamado Incesante de las Vergas' and it was absolute horse shite. I get you want to be the next Tao Lin or whatever, but seriously, it was garbage. You want to get published somewhere other than Amazon? Write something good, you shitty cunt.
