Of all the "lost" gospels of the early Christian Bible, the Gospel of St. Thomas is the most well known. According to Tau Malachi, each verse of this Holy Scripture is like an "endless well of Wisdom." Drawing upon the Holy Kabbalah, contemporary Christian thought, and wisdom of the gnostic tradition, Malachi guides the reader into a true gnostic experience-a first-hand and completely unique exploration of the sacred secrets and spiritual insights in this important gnostic text.
Both intuitive and interactive, the gnostic approach to faith is a sacred quest for greater knowledge, understanding, and wisdoma deeper penetration of the Mystery. This path leads to a higher degree of the enlightenment experience, or gnosis. The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas reveals how the reader can use each verse in this scripture as a source of daily contemplation and spiritual growth, while exploring the secrets of resurrection and ascension, the true role of St. Mary Magdalene in the early church, and other mystical and magical teachings.
"Malachi perfectly captures the oral tradition within the written word."Publishers Weekly
"Malachi suggests the need for a 'new gospel, a gospel of the Cosmic Christ'a Christ inherent in every person, not the crucified-risen Christ revered by the churchand proceeds to give three-to-five page 'meditations' on each of the 114 sayings in Thomas, weaving in teachings from the Kabbalah and other mystical traditions."The Washington Post
An intriguing book, worth your time and interest. For those interested in Gnostic Christianity, this is a fine reference book. Well-written."Ghostvillage.com, Universal Gnostic Church
"The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas offers a fresh perspective into the secrets of Christ's resurrection, the true role of St. Mary Magdalene in the early church, and more, as it examines each verse in the scripture as a means for daily spiritual contemplation. A complex yet devotional analysis."The Bookwatch
Tau Malachi is a Gnostic Apostle, or Gnostic Master, of a Magdala Tradition of Gnostic Christianity, one that has a rich oral tradition of Mirya Magdala (Mary Magdalene) as the Anointed Bride, or female spiritual counterpart of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ); and that teaches mystical teachings of the Christian Kabbalah.
He was something of a spiritual prodigy, having a strong spiritual and mystical inclination from his early youth. In 1970, when he was eight years old, he met his spiritual master, Tau Elijah, who received him as a disciple and taught and initiated him into the Gnostic Path and Holy Kabbalah. In 1983, he founded The Fellowship, the beginning of a gnostic community, where he began teaching, initiating, and guiding spiritual seekers in the Gnostic Path as well as teaching the Kabbalah revealed to him. Today The Fellowship has evolved into Ecclesia Pistis Sophia (EPS), an international gnostic community, or Christian Gnostic "church." He and Tau Sarah are the "Sacred Tau" of the lineage and community, the living messengers and spiritual masters of the present generation.
Adding to the seven books he has written and published, along with many thousands of pages of teachings he has posted in the forums on the main website of the Fellowship/EPS, Malachi has just completed a masterwork of a gnostic transmission and revelation of Mirya Magdala that spans several volumes: The Holy Gospel & Acts of Mirya Magdala: Teachings of Her Anointed Community.
