WELCOME TO THE HOME PAGE OF ALAN PETERS. I HOPE YOU STAY TO READ SOME OF THESE ESSAYS THAT I'VE FOUND. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WILL. I DON'T FOLLOW ALL THE THOUGHTS OF THESE WRITINGS, BUT THE BEST OF THESE HAVE AT THE HEART OF THEM A VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL MESSAGE ABLE TO HELP ANYONE WHO HAS BEING READING GNOSTIC OR EASTERN MYSTERY RELIGION TEXTS. THESE WRITINGS HAVE, FOR ME, BEEN A GREAT ENJOYMENT OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS A COLLECTION OF MY FAVORITE.

WHO AM I???
Man who has worn many hats. Born in Canada, resident American, worker (video specialist), twice married, twice divorced, two years of community college,one year of university, partook in those smoky 70s, and much more. I am an active, robust, 57 year old thinker, who is now residing in Mexicali Mexico and for 26 years I resided in the south end of San Diego, about 4 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
The Greeks used the prefix "philo," meaning "love of"; there are many things to which I have a love of: music, movies, computer and internet, friends, life, chatting with open-minded people, and studies. What follows on this web page is a product of such studies. Though varied in my studies, I have become fascinated with the middle ages and a cluster of related topics. Among them are the Knights Templar, the mystical thought (both religious and outside the Church). There is a gravitation which pulls people towards the religious and mystical, and I love to ponder the nature of this gravity.
Most of you who click on to my web site will be on ones own spiritual path to enlightenment, thus the interest in works that have made the codex, have been burnt, or consider as having been inspired by a divisive Abraxas, the Gnostic secondary,rascal God. They are dualistic, in that they worshiped two
Gods. What I have included below are some of the more "grabbing" of works that I have found in my extensive readings. At my other web site (please click on to it) is an account of the Gnostic belief structure. I am a link in a circle that bring the searcher back to himself, and there he arrives again with greater insight.
As a link, I want to be linked to you. Your feedback via email is wanted. I am open to suggestion and appreciate receiving your impressions of what I have put out on my website. I have a love of many things, including chatting so that I may know the truth as you perceive it.
