This page is a collection of sacred texts of ancient and historic major religions. Such major discoveries have surfaced that I think it’s important we know how much more spiritual knowledge can be gained by exploring them all with an open mind and heart.

Ages Past

Ancients

The following is a collection of writings that predate our modern religions.

• 7 Tablets of Creation , or the “Enuma Elish”, the Babylonian creation myth (translation) likely from around 4000 BC
• Sumarian Mythology (book)
• Zend Avesta, Zoronastrinism from around 4000 years ago was devoted to a god of divine fire
• Book of the Dead (Egyptian)
• The Pyramid Texts (Egypt) 3100 BC

Bible

The traditional collection of gospels. The first edited list of gospels in Egypt has carried over in more traditional cannons. It should be known that not every Bible has the same gospels. Several regions use select works only, excluding others from belief. For example, the Hebrew Jewish bible is a different collection and interpretation than the Bible of the Church in the West.

• Torah, Jewish Bible (Hebrew) contains five books: Genesis, Exodos, Levitius, Numbers, Deuteronomy
• Tanakh Hebrew Bible – Torah, Prophet collection, and usually 11 other select writings for a total of 16-24 books
• Catholic Bible – 73 books included in the Cannon of Catholic Law
• Christian Bible – 60-80 books are included in different translations and publications

Nag Hammadi Library

The Nag Hammadi Libray is a collection of secret, lost Gospels of early Christian works that have recently been collected and interpreted. The Gnostic Bible is a favorite of mine to use because it includes much of the existing Bible as well as some of these Lost Gospels. Since there were 50 texts collected in 1945 in Egypt from these caves, here I will highlight some of the most influential. Scholars think that they were probably hidden rather than destroyed.

• Hypostisis of the Archons (Reality of the Rulers)
• On the Origin of the World
• Revelation of Adam
• Gospel of Truth
• Thunder (poem that contains “I am the first and the last”)
• Sophia of Jesus Christ , or the “Wisdom of Christ”
• Apocalypse of Peter (there are actually several apocalyptic writings, so this is one of particular interest to me)
• Book of Thomas
• Apocraphon of James (the secret, second book of James)
• Gospel of Phillip
• Gospel of Thomas (the very beginnins of christian thought..)

Dead Sea Scrolls

• Digital Dead Sea Scrolls preserved from 10,000 – 300 BCE
• Wiki – contained mostly biblical scrolls in aramaic and hebrew found in the Qumran Caves in Isreal and moster were translated by the late 1980s

There are a number of books that I really enjoyed about the Gnostics, and expanding on the teachings of this way of thought.

• In Barnstone, W., In Meyer, M. W., & Lesniewski, N. (2008). The Gnostic Bible. Boston, Mass: Shambhala.
• Hall, M. P. (2000). The Wisdom of the Knowing Ones: Gnosticism, the Key to Esoteric Christianity. Los Angeles, Calif: Philosophical Research Society.

Vedas

• Rig Veda 1500 BCE
• Sama Veda
• Yajur Veda
• Upandishads 500 – 800 BCE
• Vishnu Purana 400 to 900 BCE
• Laws of Manu (First Man) 100 BC
• Bhagavad Gita
• Brahma Knowledge (article)
• Mythology of Nakshastras

Eastern Wisdom Writings

• The Art of War 475 and 221 B.C.E, translated to English for the first time in 1905
