Living Resurrection, Banned Gospels and the Initiation Ritual

Freddy Silva explains that the original meaning of resurrection was a "living resurrection" involving a metaphor for a secret initiation ritual rather than a physical return from the dead. He cites the banned gospels of Philip and Thomas, which describe an "imposter church" that replaced the true Christian brotherhood. This ritual, which predates Christianity by 3,500 years, involved a voluntary near-death experience to achieve spiritual self-development, a practice praised by Plato and Pythagoras.
