 From time to time our mind wanders to the extreme parts of our very consciousness that wonders about the things We don't even dare dream like who or what created everything and before there was anything was there still something There's very little room with a question like this to say. Yeah, there's always been stuff. Therefore. There's always been life The very fact of the matter is that at some point in time There absolutely must have been a beginning or so our mind tells us There is a chance that the answer to this question is beyond human comprehension Therefore we can't grasp a proper answer for some reason. We're drawn to the sky for answers to the question of our purpose on earth Since the dawn of time we wondered what the hell we're doing here If you ever woke up at a stranger's house after a party well that feeling of disorientation is a feeling we humans have lived With on earth It's as if the planet we're told created us didn't have anything to do with us until fairly recently Here's a thought what if the entire universe is exactly one thing one cell living within an unimaginably big organism Which has billions of quadrillions of other cells? That many individual cells or universes as we call them make up a living thing that we may refer to as the creator That'd make a good episode of Rick and Morty, right? The emerald tablet of Hermes states that as above so below It's said to be inscribed with the secrets of the universe The source of the original emerald tablet is unclear Hence it's surrounded by legends the most common legend claims that the tablet was found in a cave tomb under the statue of Hermes and Tiana Clutched in the hands of the corpse of Hermes Trismegistus himself another legend suggests that it was the third son of Adam and Eve Seth who originally wrote it others believe that the tablet was once held within the Ark of the Covenant Thoth was among the most diverse and popular deities of the Egyptian pantheon He's attested in the Old Kingdom and was regarded since the most primitive period as the god of the moon and Thoth derived much of his authority from being the secretary and counselor to the Sun God Ra He became the regulator of time and individual destinies It's sensational to think that ancient documents such as the emerald tablet or the Dead Sea Scrolls exist from a time That we know very little about even with contributions and translations from the criss-crossing of documents from different languages and religions We still only get a gist of the story That's truly epic in every sense of the word another text which was discovered right around the same time as the Dead Sea Scrolls Is the absolutely enlightening but very controversial no-stick texts wait till you hear this Discovered in 1945 and quickly sold on the black market through antiquities dealers in Cairo The manuscript soon attracted the attention of officials of the Egyptian government through circumstances of high drama They bought one and confiscated 10 and a half of the 13 leatherbound books called codices and deposited them in the Coptic Museum in Cairo But a large part of the 13th codex containing five extraordinary texts was smuggled out of Egypt and offered for sale in America Word of this codex soon reached Professor Giles Quizbowl a distinguished historian of religion at Eurect in the Netherlands Excited by the discovery the professor urged the Jung Foundation in Zurich to buy the codex After discovering some pages were missing he flew to Egypt in the spring of 1955 to try to find them in the Coptic Museum arriving in Cairo He went at once to the museum borrowed photographs from some of the texts and hurried back to his hotel to decipher them Tracing out the first line the professor was startled as he deciphered the first line which read these are the secret words Which the living Jesus spoke and which the twin Judas Thomas wrote down This discovery of the whole texts raised a new question Did Jesus have a twin brother as the text implies? Could the text be an authentic record of Jesus's sayings? According to its title it contained the Gospel according to Thomas yet unlike the Gospels of the New Testament This text identified itself as a secret gospel Professor Quizbowl also discovered that it contained many sayings known from the New Testament But these sayings placed unfamiliar context suggested other dimensions of meaning Other passages he found differed entirely from any known Christian tradition The living Jesus for example speaks in sayings as if both cryptic and compelling Jesus said if you bring forth What is within you what you bring forth will save you if you do not bring forth what is within you What you do not bring forth will destroy you What the professor held in his hand the Gospel of Thomas was only one of the 52 texts discovered in 1945 Bounded in the same volume with it is the Gospel of Philip which attributes to Jesus acts and sayings quite different from those in the New Testament The companion of the Savior is Mary Magdalene, but Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often The rest of the disciples said to him why do you love her more than all of us? The Savior answered and said to them why do I not love you as I love her other sayings in this collection Criticized common Christian belief such as the virgin birth or the bodily resurrection as naive misunderstandings Bound together with these Gospels is the Apocryphon which literally means secret book of John Which opens with an offer to reveal the mysteries of the things hidden in silence Which Jesus taught to his disciple John the discoverer of the texts incredibly admitted that some of the texts were lost Burned up or thrown away because he feared he and his family would be punished by the Egyptian government for grave robbing But what remains is astonishing some 52 texts from the early centuries of the Christian era including a collection of early Christian Gospels previously unknown besides the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Philip the find also included the Gospel of truth and the Gospel to the Egyptians which identified itself the sacred book of the great invisible spirit another group of texts consists of writings attributed to Jesus's followers such as the secret book of James the Apocalypse of Paul the letter of Peter to Philip and the Apocalypse of Peter you have to wonder about the validity of such texts that appear to have survived from a time in history in which they were written Uninfluenced or altered since they were first created in that sense There must be more truth within these words than our modern day translations Anyway, we hope you guys are all set for the holidays a lot has changed on this channel since last Christmas As you very well may know and it's you guys who have driven us forward as we created over 200 videos in 2018 it's been a bumpy ride and it's only gonna get bumpier So join us on the journey as we attempted gently peel back the lies and reveal the truth about our civilization And remember the ways at which we arrive at knowledge is hardly less wonderful than the discovery of these things themselves Thanks for watching
