________________ Where Nothing seems to Be knowledge were pitilessly prosecuted, its protagonists killed. This - of course - raises the fundamental question why experiencing and communicating a fantastic, blissful perception enhancing one's existence needs to be organized and administered in the first place. Our world might look different, if the fascination, nobility and orientation of this original content would have continued to inspire generation after generation. Restoring the Original Fascination As I began reading the manuscripts discovered in Nag Hammadi 1945, - scriptures not distorted by priestly translators and transcribers, - I was fascinated to find descriptions of perceptions identical to mine. But I also realized that the words and terms predominantly used in these texts, generated different ideas, meanings, feelings and intuitive contents today than at the time the manuscripts were written. Terms like 'savior', 'revelation', 'father', 'ghost' etc. are nowadays associated with some narrow, religiously-conservative context that does do little justice to the original intent of these scriptures. Yet the unique, original strength of the texts immediately returned once I replaced 'Father', 'Ghost', 'The Unthinkable', 'The Incredible' with 'The Sublime, the Majestic Grand'
