Gnosticism - Thunder Perfect Mind - Divine Feminine - Gender, Paradox and Violence

One of the most enigmatic and alluring text in the Nag Hammadi Library of Gnostic texts is the famed hymn-poem Thunder: Perfect Mind.  This episode explores the origins, structure, parallels with an eye to  Thunder's treatment of gender, language and colonialism.  We also explore to what degree we can call Thunder 'gnostic' at all - why did this document survive in the Nag Hammadi library at all?
