No doubt about that. 

The gnostics were all about directly knowing (gnosis), which is part and parcel of Buddhism as well. Heck didn't nen start a thread on gnosticism here at home point?  Probably has a lot of good info in it.

I wish more people that believed in God could expand or deepen that view.  The gnostics really were on to something I think.   

Also a lot of the lost gospels sound quite Buddhist.  Including the gospel of Mary and the gospel of Thomas.    Kind makes you wonder why these particular gospels were hunted and down and destroyed?

Peace

BTW, this isn't verifiable yet, and I'm not sure when I will get the chance, but i was at a funeral in a Catholic Church recently and saw two stained glass windows that contained what looked like shroom references.  Once was a blue shroom and the others were all read with white spots.  My wife, stopped me from trying to snap pictures (I was at a funeral).  In truth I don't know that they really were shroom references, but I do plan to try and get back in that church and find out.
