If the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are nothing more than written records of oral folk tales, how is it that some contain sophisticated forms of encryption? Why were some fairy tales constructed in accordance with the Ad Herennium, an ancient Latin text containing the earliest recorded instructions for the creation of memory systems? How does one explain the fact that the Ad Herennium’s instructions mirror one of the key images from the synoptic Gospels, the scourging of Jesus? Could it be that the Gospels’ authors were actually skilled practitioners of the Art of Memory, who utilized that system within the Gospels for the secret encryption and storage of information? And how is all of this connected to the millennia-old conflict between the two oldest traditions of Gnostic Christianity, those of John and Thomas?

 

Our Summary

The Gnostic Notebook: Volume One is a work of theological criticism. It investigates the deeper meanings behind several fairytales and the Memory Systems presented in the Latin text, Ad Herennium. Fans of The Astral Body and The Interpretation of Fairytales will love this philosophical esoterica that challenges the notions of what you thought you already knew.
