A personal note for my first 'talk':

2.Preamble:
Three hundred years now and Then:

3.Redemption:
The Gnostics saw the human as confined in matter and in need of being freed from that fate, thus redemption.

4.The Human:
Gnosis, experiential knowing, would free the human to affect the ascent of the soul. This is Egyptian!
