Talk:The Thunder, Perfect Mind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Changed page
Changed the page to refer to the scholarly work done by Bentley Layton on the test, and to include references to the contextual literary forms of the time. Also made ref to modern usage of the text, and included a footnote reference to the text in The Gnostic Scriptures. This entry, I hope, will be more useful in scholarly pursuits, as the old entry has no references and made many unverifiable statements. Visual Error 12:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Quote from "On the Origin of the World"
86.140.169.77 added this below to the references section on September 26, 2006. It was deleted the same day by User:Nilfanion. Maybe someone can tie this in better to the article. If it merits it. It looks interesting. Or maybe just link to the source for this with a short explanation of the similarities. The similarities need to be drawn out. Maybe quote similar passages from Thunder, Perfect Mind. Or... --Timeshifter 22:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Eve speaks in a similar way in On the Origin of the World
- 'It is I who am the being of my mother
- And it is I who am the mother
- It is I who am the wife
- It is I who am the virgin
- It is I who am pregnant
- It is I who am the midwife
- It Is I who am the one that comforts the pain of birth
- And it is my husband who gave birth to me
- And it is I who am his mother
- And it is he who is my father and my lord
- It is he who is my power
- What he desires, he speaks in the word
- And I am the one who is becoming
- Yet I have given birth to a man as lord'
It has been suggested this quotation is from the lost Gospel of Eve
