I have been waxing philosophical with a friend on line, who is ‘big’ into John Lamb Lash (and his Goddess philosophy), but also into other subjects as well. (The Flat Earth, for one.) I reported earlier today on one of his missives. Herewith, as an addendum to the earlier sharing, but also for a further taste, of food for thought:*

“Interesting times we live in.”
What times are those: or is it 'these'?
I really recommend (as ever) keeping an eye on the Mandela Effect. The (retrospective) rewriting of The Lord's Prayer and other scriptural passages must surely have piqued your interest? No? Well give yourself a slap and take a look, because if this phenomenon persists we could easily wake up one morning to find ourselves on a radically different timeline: where something (or other) did (or didn't) happen—and we're not where we think/thought we are/were!
(My reply:)
"The (retrospective) rewriting of The Lord's Prayer and other scriptural passages must surely have piqued your interest? No?"
To clarify. The Bible has gone through a number of translations over the centuries. Fairly recently - as these things go - there was the Douay-Rheims version of/for the Catholics, and shortly thereafter the KJ version for the English Protestants; and then newer versions. In my country, I have heard of both 'trespassers' and 'debtors' since early on. I always assumed that it was the Catholics who referred to 'trespassers,' since I had never heard that version, in my Mormon upbringing (based on the KJ version) or in general usage. All of this stuff is a matter of translations. Not necessarily different timelines, a la the Mandela Effect idea.
I'm not sure precisely what John is getting at, in emphasizing that idea, except just to help us understand that Life is but a phenomenon (made out of 'plasma,' I think he refers to). But that doesn't require a belief in different timelines either. If people are experiencing such - and I won't dispute that the idea has taken on some weight - it could possibly - possibly - be due to mistaken memories; not different timelines per se. For example, some people having heard of bin Laden's death some years before 9/11. Which indeed was announced, and heard in some circles (a TV interview with that female Indian prime minister being one). But a) that could have been just to put investigators off, so that he could be used later, for CIA purposes, as a convenient boogeyman (as in 9/11); or b) he indeed could have died then, and the whole later 'compound in India' thing could have been with a double. Either way: no different timeline event.
I'm not sure just why John makes so much of the Nag Hammadi scrolls, and the Gnostic 'thing'. The Gnostics could have just been rabbinical Jews, with their mystery-religion stuff, regarding the Kabbala and such. (As to that: the Book of Revelation was, apparently the work of one such Gnostic rabbi; and even it wasn't put in the Bible until 397 CE, so there is no telling how many translations that it went through before landing there.)** So why should we believe any of this stuff??? John has - could well have - his personal reasons for being put off by a patriarchal take on religion, and for championing a matriarchal take on 'reality'. It all seems personal to me.
Could he be right, about Sophia et al? Yes. And so could any of many other commentators on these things. Who knows???
Personally, I wouldn't put too much cred on the NH scrolls to be the be-all and end-all of wisdom. It is all subject to having been metered through the human mind, and emotions, and 'political'' instincts. And yes, we all know how fallible all of those are.
Man is a fallible creature. That doesn't mean that that is all there is. It could just mean that we simply have some more work to do; to break out of The Box.
Or not.
I say, Yes.
But then (get ready for the classic question):
Who am I???

** And I have also heard that its origin goes even further back, to the Sibylline prophecies. And as Joseph Atwill points out in his book that I have mentioned [i.e., 'Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus'], the Second Coming - if there indeed was ever supposed to be a true one - has already taken place, in the form of Titus (the Son of Man, as 'foretold'), when he engaged in the siege and sacking of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple there, in 70 CE. So again: Who knows?? What may, or may not, still have to come...
P.S. And yes, we are being subjected to the nasty work of people who are trying to rewrite history, to their liking. I think of how the Soviets would airbrush out of photos those former Dear Leaders who had fallen out of favor of the regime. Disgusting stuff. But the victors have always written the history. When Akhenaten came along, he destroyed all the old statues and monuments, and established his monotheistic Sun worship. And when he was finally at an end, his enemies (mainly the priests of the old regime) destroyed everything relating to his period of supremacy. Who was right?? I say neither. We have a right to know our history. It helps us to guide by, in our present, and future. And so, e.g., I have nothing but contempt for those Marxists who in our day over here on this side of the pond are busily going around deconstructing the past. First, of Confederate icons, in the South. And then it will extend to the likes of Thomas Jefferson, and even George Washington. For, they are to be done away with, in the New Order of Things.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

* Background to this sharing: This friend had sent me an email complaining how things like passages in the Bible have been ‘changed’ on us. For one: How some recent versions of the Bible have had the Lord’s prayer say:
‘…in earth, as it is in heaven.’ (Not the 'classical/'time-honored ‘on earth, as it is in heaven.’)
and say:
‘Forgive us our trespasses…’ instead of how this friend had learned it, as referring to ‘debts’ and ‘debtors’.
His point was in the context of JL Lash’s ‘take’ on the Mandela Effect, where some people are swearing that they have heard of things that then get contradicted by later ‘versions’; JL Lash and others saying/feeling that we are involved in different timeline experiences.

And having said all this (about how things change 'naturally'' over time): I am a stickler for good spelling. Yes yes: Spelling changes over time. But in the meantime, it is a sign of paying attention to the detail of things. If you are sloppy with your spelling, you are sloppy with your thinking.
Major case in point: The appalling failure of the American people to catch the fact that Obama was ineligible for the office of the presidency.
How so?
For not being a ‘natural born’ citizen.
‘What’s that?’
A ‘natural born’ citizen is a person born in the country, of parents who are citizens thereof.
‘Well. He’s a citizen. Right?’
Um…yes. But he is not a ‘natural born’ citizen.
‘Oh. Well. Close enough.’
Not.
And I aim to see his whole period in that honorable office, besmirched by a Usurper, stricken from the record.
Just as has happened in history, over the centuries, I realize...
Well not "just as". But you get the point. And I notice the point.........
