John Lamb Lash Interview

An interview with John Lamb Lash author of Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief. Basing much of Not in His Image on the Nag Hammadi and other Gnostic writings, Lash explains how a little-known messianic sect propelled itself into a dominant world power, systematically wiping out the great Gnostic spiritual teachers, the Druid priests, and the shamanistic healers of Europe and North Africa. Lash researched ancient Gnostic writings to reconstruct the story early Christians tried to scrub from the pages of history, exploring the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituality. Lash is an exponent of the practice of mythology. He is principal author of the Marion Institute's website, an inquiry into the contemporary meaning of humanity's myths and beliefs, and is author of a number of books, including The Seeker's Handbook, Twins and the Double, and The Hero.
