THE RELIGION OF MAN
Author: Rabindranath Tagore
The title leads one to believe that this may be just another boring book about our religions–but the author presents us with an entirely new religion that will make more sense to many readers than any of the religions that we have today. Tagore was a man of great wisdom who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 and was one of India’s greatest poets. His personal mystical experiences, rather than any philosophical reasoning, led him to the Religion of Man, as he terms it. The God of this religion is an Eternal Spirit of unity that can be found within the heart of every person rather than in the sky. Each person is on a path to discover our unity with one another so that we may one day be released from the idea of division and separateness, which results in war and hatred. Ultimate truth can be realized by anyone who learns how to listen and tap into an inner source of divine wisdom. This power of realization can be enhanced through involvement with symbols, ceremonies, art, nature, literature, myths and legends. There is only one commandment in this religion, which is to spread this Divine Truth to others through words and deeds. This book has the power to open one’s mind into a new and different level of meaningful consciousness, having been written by a gifted mystic who knew how to communicate on this level to others.

The History of the Christian Religion
Full title: The History of the Christian Religion and the Church During the First Three Centuries
Author: Augustus Neander
Neander was one of the greatest religious historians to have ever lived. In this abbreviated version of a larger work, he covers the current of Gnostic ideas during the formation of Christianity. It outlines all of the competitive beliefs that were at work at the time and how they affected the Christian struggle in both good and bad ways. This rare book may cause one to never look at Christianity in the same way again, due to its scholarship and facts not found elsewhere.

Simon Magus: His Philosophy and Teachings
Author: G.R.S. Mead
Simon Magus was originally a Christian and disciple of John the Baptist, but broke off and formed the first Christian heresy, called Simonianism.
After learning magical medicine in Alexandria he was considered to have many magical skills. To this day, a skilled magician is called a “magus.” He also studied Greek philosophers, especially Heraclitus, and was the first Christian to attempt to bridge Greek philosophy and Christianity. If a bridge ever occurred, Church leaders feared they would weaken over time and not survive.
According to Mead, this was Simon’s great heresy – not his magic. This book shows Magus to have been a brilliant man who was breaking new ground, philosophically and spiritually.

Pistis Sophia
Author: G.R.S. Mead
The Gnostics consisted of a number of early Christian mystical sects. Their teachers were persecuted and documents destroyed because the Church desired a uniform set of beliefs to operate under. Only now have we begun to better appreciate them. Pistis Sophia was the most important Gnostic document until the discovery of The Nag Hammadi Library. This work remains an important milestone in Gnostic research. It is the story of how we, as spiritual beings, have fallen into the world of physical creation. The soul is asleep here, bogged down in physical surroundings, unaware of its true nature. The purpose of this gospel is to awaken us, and aid in the process of spiritual freedom. Hard & soft cover versions.

THE HYMN OF THE ROBE OF GLORY
Translation: G. R. S. Mead
Also known as The Hymn of the Pearl, it is an important Gnostic text and should be essential reading for anyone interested in early mystical literature. It is an allegorical tale. Instead of an outer journey, as what seems to be initially described, it is meant to be interpreted as an inner, deeper journey with far more spiritual significance than seen on the surface. The overall message can be quite profound, depending on the reader’s level of spiritual understanding.
