- cmroanirgo 8y agoIt's a play on the title Meetings with Remarkable Men? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079542/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079542/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Personally, I'd call what came out of the Nag Hammadi remarkable. Another edge case that I'm reading is The Kolbrin (it's authenticity is in question, but it's words are very inspiring) [0] And of course, the Pistis Sophia, whose opening line is: "IT came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them..." [1] [2] The first few chapters are full of hard to read symbolism, but there's a lot to absorb in there.
