Gnostic Gospels: Gnosticism-Nag Hammadi & Early Christianity

"What is matter? Will it last forever? 
The Teacher answered: All that is born, all that is created,
all the elements of nature are interwoven and united with each other.
All that is composed shall be decomposed; everything returns to its roots; matter returns to the origins of matter. 
Those have ears, let them hear."
- Gospel of Mary Magdalene
