The Concept of Our Great Power - Overview and Discussion

What if the world you know is just one age among three — and the next one is already burning its way toward us? The Concept of Our Great Power is one of the strangest and most electric texts in the Nag Hammadi library: a Gnostic vision of cosmic time split into the age of the flesh, the psychic age, and the radiant aeon still to come. It speaks of floods and fire, of archons who do not realize their reign is ending, and of a hidden Power that moves through history toward awakening. In this session we'll read the text closely, untangle its dense apocalyptic imagery, and ask what it meant for ancient seekers to recognize the "great power" alive within themselves — and what it might still mean now. No background required, just curiosity and a willingness to sit with mystery. A link to the text can be found here: http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/cgp.html
