THE ATLAS OF THE ALIEN SPARK

The Gospel of Philip

Gospel of Philip
nature
A collection of Valentinian reflections on sacrament, language and pairing — not a narrative, and not organised. It is the source of the much-quoted and much-damaged line about Mary Magdalene as the companion whom the Saviour loved and used to kiss on the [—], where the papyrus has a hole.

It shows Valentinian Christianity as a SACRAMENTAL religion with baptism, chrism and a bridal chamber — not a philosophy club. And its most famous sentence is a lesson in reading damaged evidence honestly.
Names given to worldly things are very deceptive, for they turn the heart aside from what is real to what is unreal.
