“Come, that I may
teach you about secrets no person has ever seen. For there exists a
Great and Boundless Realm, whose extent no generation of angels has
seen, in which there is a Great Invisible Spirit, which no eye of an
angel has ever seen, no thought of the heart has ever comprehended,
and it was never called by any name*.” (Yeshua, quoted in, The
Gnostic Gospel of Judas)

The Gnostic Scriptures: A New Translation with Annotations and Introductions, by Bentley Layton:
Gnostic — Sant
Mat Comparative Mysticism: An Inclusive Rather Than Exclusive
Spirituality — Kirpal Singh and the Lesson of Nag
Hammadi — Rather than confining themselves to only reading the
Old and New Testaments or teachings exclusively from Orthodox
Christian sources, these monks of Nag Hammadi had a surprisingly
diverse collection of writings that can only be characterized as
inter-faith and multi-traditional. In other words, they were also
studying the scriptures of other religions and mystical movements of
their day….. Kirpal Singh was a prolific writer, publishing scores
of books over the years, quoting from most every world scripture,
mystic, poet, philosopher, and great Master that has ever existed
spanning the centuries, very much embodying this same curiosity and
inclusive universal spirituality we find present in the Nag Hammadi
Library of Egypt. May the legacy of both always be remembered and
honored for all time to come — Document at Scribd.com:

in the area of the Northern Cemetery, the Monastery of Lady Mary was

Inscribed mosaics in the building provide the name of the founder of
the monastery, Lady Mary, and suggest that the building was erected
around 567 CE.”:

Time, Memory, and
Mosaics at the Monastery of Lady Mary, by Stephanie Hagan: “Late
Antique Beth Shean provides ample evidence of a religiously
heterogeneous population. Even as Christianity was becoming
established as the dominant faith, we find traces of cultural and
artistic exchanges with other religious groups. The floor mosaics of
a 6th century monastery find their best comparisons with synagogue
pavements, raising the possibility that the same artisans may have
worked for both Christian and Jewish patrons.”:

The Gnostic
Mystery — A Connection Between Ancient and Modern
Mysticism — some Gnostic-Sant Mat comparative mysticism, by
Andrea Diem Lane: The most comparable strand of Indian spirituality
to the Gnostic tradition is the medieval and modem Sant tradition, an
eclectic philosophy concerned with traversing spiritual realms to
reach God. Resembling Gnostic metaphysics, there is a God beyond all
gods, and this God invites the soul to know It. One achieves
God-Realization by turning within one’s own consciousness,
realizing the microcosm/macrocosm relationship with the Divine. A
Sant is one who has accomplished this — an enlightened soul:
Sophia's Passion: Sant Mat and the Gnostic
Myth of Creation, by Neil Tessler:
Science of the Soul
Books:
The Mystic Heart of
Judaism, by Miriam Bokser Caravella: Speaking to the renewal of
mystic fervour among seekers today, the book studies the spiritual
masters of Jewish history whose teachings have brought inspiration
and solace to generations of Jews from the prophets of the Bible and
mystics of antiquity, to the Sufis and kabbalists of the Middle Ages,
and the Hasidic masters of Eastern Europe. It presents the living
teachers and their living teachings, their inner spiritual life with
the divine, and their relationship of love with their disciples;
The Holy Name, by
Miriam Bokser Caravella: This book presents a mosaic of mystical
elements that are common to both Judaism and the Sant Mat philosophy.
Quotations are brought from Jewish sources such as the Bible, the
Zohar, other Kabbalistic works, Hasidic literature, and contemporary
Jewish writings, as well as from Christian mystics and the writings
of spiritual masters of India, Persia and Arabia. There are thorough
discussions of the Garden of Eden and other stories from the Bible,
the inner regions and the kabbalistic doctrine of the sefirot and the
Word or Name of God;
The Gospel Of Jesus,
In Search of His Original Teachings, by John Davidson: The Gospel of
Jesus is an inspirational encounter with the world of Christ, an
uplifting study of the man, his times and his teaching. It reveals
how the true meaning of Jesus’s teachings, as found in the
canonical gospels and many of the ancient apocryphal and other early
Christian texts, is that of the ageless, eternal and mystical path to
God;
Also by John
Davidson, Science of the Soul Books:
The Prodigal Soul
(formally known as, The Robe of Glory): This inspirational collection
of allegories and anecdotes includes seven parables of Jesus (with
two little–unknown ones from the ‘fifth’ gospel, the Gospel of
Thomas), an allegorical interpretation of the Adam and Eve story, and
others of a gnostic character from Manichaean and Mandaean sources,
the Nag Hammadi library, and New Testament apocryphal writings.
Included among them is the well-known Robe of Glory;
The Odes of Solomon:
An inspiring collection of early Christian devotional poems, as
vibrant as the day they were written. Lost for nineteen hundred
years, but rediscovered by Cambridge biblical scholar, Rendel Harris;
The Divine Romance:
In The Divine Romance: John Davidson shows how these ancient and
intriguing tales depict a universal spirituality — the path to
divine union. This, the story of the soul’s descent and its
subsequent return, is told in terms of the divine marriage. The
collection includes two parables of Jesus, with interpretations
suggested by gnostic texts, and two gnostic parables — one from
the Nag Hammadi library, the other from the Acts of Thomas. The
rambunctious early Christian classic, Joseph and Aseneth, a tale that
has circulated in various forms over the last 2,000 years, concludes
this luminous book;
The Song of Songs:
On the face of it, the biblical Song of Songs tells the tale of a
passionate and worldly love. Yet, though it contains not one word
that speaks explicitly of God or spirituality, the Song was accepted
long ago into both the Jewish and Christian scriptural canons. In
this inspiring book, John Davidson brings out the spiritual meaning
of one of the most intriguing books in the Bible;
A Treasury of Mystic
Terms I (Set of 6 Volumes): The Treasury is a collection of the
spiritual terms found in the literature of the world’s religious
and mystical traditions. Its primary objective is to elucidate the
meaning of the essential terms used by the various spiritual and
religious traditions of the world throughout history;
A Treasury of Mystic
Terms II (Set of 4 Volumes): It is not primarily intended as a
dictionary or as an encyclopedia, nor is it a definitive treatise on
any particular subject or religion. It is meant to help the ordinary
person understand some of the basic principles of his or her
religious background, within the framework of a universal
understanding of spirituality;
Adventure of Faith:
The author of this book recounts how she, a devout Christian, found
the path of the Masters. The reader travels with the author from her
childhood days in pre-war Germany to her life as a Benedictine nun
and the years spent as a Catholic nun in a Hindu ashram in central
India. When she discovered the inner path of Surat Shabd Yoga, she
realized she needed a spiritual Master;
Yoga and the Bible,
by Joseph Leeming: Written from a predominantly Christian point of
view, this book introduces Surat Shabd Yoga, the yoga of the sound
current, citing well-known passages from Jesus Christ as the basis of
each chapter’s discussion. The author discusses the importance of
the living spiritual master in the context of Sant Mat and the
teachings of Christ;
GOD POWER, CHRIST
POWER, MASTER POWER, by Kirpal Singh: The Christ-Power or God-Power
or Guru-Power is the same, and manifests Itself at the human pole to
meet the demands of His children: those who feel hungry for Him,
those who feel thirsty for Him. There is food for the hungry and
water for the thirsty; demand and supply is the law of nature, and
where fire burns, oxygen comes to help. When man has hunger for God
in his heart, God manifests Himself at some human pole to guide the
child-humanity. “No man knows the Father except through the Son and
he to whom the Son reveals Him.”

The Stranger of Galilee, by Russell Perkins:
https://issuu.com/santajaibsinghsatsang/docs/stranger_of_galilee__russell_perkin
The Stranger of
Galilee, by Russell Perkins — The
Master comes down to love, and he says that all human beings come
down to love; this is the role of the human and it is how humanness
is defined. As we have seen, the Urdu word insan is normally
translated as “human being,” but in fact means “one who is
brimming over with love.” That is the essence of humanness. The
Masters say that the capacity for empathy is what distinguishes
humans from other forms of life: we can love each other. We can also
manipulate, use, and exploit each other, but that is not what makes
us human; only our capacity to love does that. The most human of all
persons is the Master; he is what we and all other human beings were
born to be. Our emphasis on understanding him as a God-man sometimes
leads us to see him more as God than as man, and that is a legitimate
view; but we should never forget to view him also as a role model for
humans. He has reversed the fall and thus he is what we would all be
if we had not fallen:

Bentley Layton has a section dedicated to the School of Saint Thomas in the Syriac east all about the Thomasine writings: The Gnostic Scriptures: A New Translation with Annotations and Introductions, by Bentley Layton:
A Relationship
Between the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Hebrews
“It seems that, in
constructing his ‘harmony’ [Diatessaron], he [Tatian] used not
just the ‘canonical’ Gospels, but also a ‘fifth source’,
whose material sometimes agreed with readings proper to texts like
the Gospel to the Hebrews or the Gospel of Thomas. It has been
proposed to identify this source with that Aramaic tradition of
Palestinian origin, independent of the Greek Gospels, that had first
conveyed a knowledge of Jesus to the peoples of Syria, pivoting, to
begin with, on the region’s Jewish communities. Certainly, West
Aramaic expressions or, more generally, elements left a deep mark not
just and perhaps not so much on the Peshitta as on the more general
exegetical and ‘spiritual’ meditation of the Churches of Syria,
as many recent studies have demonstrated (cf. e.g. S. Brock, The Lost
Old Syriac…).”
