Some say the Gnostic gospels have nothing to do with the NT but read it again because either way it has some great inspirational quotes to guide you in life. Who knows who wrote it!
Most things in the world, as long as their inner parts are hidden, stand upright and live. For
so long as the root of wickedness is hidden, it is strong. But when it is recognized, it is
dissolved. When it is revealed, it perishes. let each one of us dig down after the root of evil
which is within one, and let one pluck it out of one's heart from the root. It will be plucked out
if we recognize it. But if we are ignorant of it, it takes root in us and produces its fruit in our
heart. It masters us. We are its slaves. It takes us captive, to make us do what we do not
want; and what we do want, we do not do. It is powerful because we have not recognized it.
While it exists it is active. Ignorance is the mother of all evil. Ignorance is a slave. Knowledge
is freedom. If we know the truth, we shall find the fruits of the truth within us. If we are joined
to it, it will bring our fulfillment.
This reminds me of conspiracy groups like 'Illuminati'
