Sam, that essay on the Gnostic version of Adam and Eve was very interesting. So Eve's original name was Zoe, and her mother was Sophia. What a trip! Now you know that since the texts at Nag Hammadi were not discovered until 1945 and are therefore much more pure than any of the Christian male dominance drivel that has come down in an evolved state from the days of Christ, the Gnostics are called anti-Christian or un-Christian by the conservatives. They were driven out of the flock, as well, when the Trinity was foisted upon Christianity, and that is a shame, because the Gnostic teachings are beautiful.

You were hesitant to cite anything from this article, but this is a poem from the Gnostic texts discovered at Nag Hammadi, so it is surely not covered by copywright:

It is I who am the part of my mother;

And it is I who am the mother;

It is I who am the wife;

It is I who am the virgin;

It is I who am pregnant;

It is I who am the midwife;

It is I who am the one that comforts pains of
travail;

It is my husband who bore me;

And it is I who am his mother,

And it is he who is my father and my lord.

It is he who is my force;

What he desires, he says with reason.

I am in the process of becoming.

Yet I have borne a man as lord. [114:8-16][1]
