The Anthology

These are fragments of texts which were transmitted along with the Tien Shan Manuscript. They are, for the most part, well known, though the selection suggests a very specific political and ideological and even spiritual agenda.

Read them –or reread them, since if you already have a decent liberal education you will already have encountered most of them. And let us know where they seem to point you.
