Congratulations to Mrs. President Obama ! Why Do I Call him that ?...
(U) Don't Ask (I) Don't Tell ! LOL The 4th Reich has been going ASS Backwards
since Project Paperclip...maybe their Masterplan will be accomplished in the Age of A-Queer-Is-Us ! In The Age of Lust...Oops I Mean Love...Ruled By Sananda (Jesus) & His God(dess) Lucifer
Aphrodite ...Or Venus...I know it's Unconstitutionnal to force people to buy Insurrance...will it be
Unconstitutionnal for those who "Dont Want To Get In Touch With Their Feminine or Masculine Side " to force them to Become "Trans-Humanist Transvestites" To Enter Their Kingdom of Heaven ? And Who will Bail Out all those who can't afford their sex change operations ? LoL....these are deep questions...lol...next year and the year my resolution is to either get killed or kill THAT ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, i mean a hermaphrodite creates humans...who were supposedly androgynous (Adam Kadmon), then split us up into man (Adam) and women (Eve)...
so that we seeked supposedly seeked our "other half" (soulmates), now that we are half of what we supposedly were...now you want each half to no longer seek on the outside their other opposites...NO we must find on the inside our other half that we've been split away from since Genesis...what the fuck...we were split into males and females...how the fuck can their be some
female left in the male or vice-versa to get in touch with ? I'm sorry but i smell MK-Ultra BULLSHIT ! I DON'T BUY IT...I DON'T WANT ANY PARTS OF THIS...THAT'S MY OPINION
ON THE SERPENTS WISDOM AND I'M STICKING TO IT...all this to say CONGRATULATIONS....IT'S A SMALL STEP FOR UNCLE SAM...A GIANT LEAP FOR THE FAG KIND !...LOL....
oK, let's move along from these "V(i)et-Thongs" who want to bang cock their hammers !LOL
Since it's the pagan holy days...Everybody seems to remember little baby jesus born in a cave...
well i want people to remember "his latter days" and a discovery that was found in a cave around Rennes-Le-Chateau's moutain range, At the time that i made this post, the videos were not yet available at megavideo, maybe they will be later, i wanted to embedded them but i guess that won't happen, if you want you can download them :
Since I'm On The Subject of Mary Magdalene, some "Christians" who still think
that this Idea of Jesus being Married to a Prostitute (a WHORE)...let me just first
write down a few verses from my CHAIN REFERENCE KING JAMES BIBLE that are
linked together...Christians might think it's an error like Jesus proclaiming that he's Lucifer
The Morning Star ...The Light Bearer...If They see that they won't see who is the Bride of the Bridegroom in the Bridal Chamber...PS...I won't even like Ezekiel 28 Cherubim who was decked with all those Jewels with "New Jerusalem" who was in the garden of Eden and fell from Heaven... Or mention that Jesus admits that he was The Serpent In The Apocryphon of John...Or that...i think it's in the Book of Adam...it admits that it's Samael that created them...where was Lillith ? Was she Adam's wife ? Did she leave him for Asmodeus ? Well in that same book i think it mentions that Samael slept with Eve who gave birth to Cain...what's the point of all of this ? ....
I'll just compare a few verses from the Book of Revelation which is part of the Christian Canon to a Gnostic Book...called "The Secret Gospel of Miryai" which are sayings of Mary Magdalene...Just for yourselves if there is any similarities between them:
A Few Revelations Verses:

Compare to this:
This 'Gospel of Mary' is composed of selected sayings attributed to
St. Mary Magdalene in the oral tradition of Sophian Gnosticism. On
the one hand, these sayings are inspired by the Anointed Bride and,
on the other hand, they are drawn from the Gnostic legends of an oral
tradition that has existed a long time. It is always this way when
speaking or writing from an oral tradition; the telling of the tales
is constantly changing with the inspiration of the Spirit each moment
brings. This is why oral tradition is highly prized among Sophians,
because it remains vibrant and alive. Yet, placing something of the
oral tradition in writing extends the light of the Bride beyond our
circles and allows others to glimpse the image of the Anointed Bride,
St. Mary Magdalene, as she is beheld by Sophians. Today many are
seeking knowledge of St. Mary Magdalene, so it seems that the Mother
Spirit calls us to let her voice be heard. In honor of the Mother
Spirit and Kallah Messiah (the Anointed Bride) we offer these sayings
in her name, as a gift given freely to all, and pray they are a
blessing and inspiration to all who receive them.
1. These are sayings, spoken by Salome the Maiden in the name of St.
Mary Magdalene, which women of wisdom have held in trust. Mary
said, "If you know the Woman of Light, you will know your Mother and
be reborn of the Mother Spirit as a child of light. Because the light
is bornless, you will have eternal life."
2. Mary was speaking to her companions, and she said, "There is glory
of glory, and glory of light, and there is the True Light. Seek,
therefore, the essence of the light, which is beyond all, and you
shall know the Truth of Light."
3. Mary said, "This world is a cemetery, it is filled with corpses.
For this reason, the Lord set the world on fire so that the dead
might awaken and spirits might be set free. And now the fire burns,
and we tend it so that it might burn brightly, and we dance within
the fire, for we are on fire with the Spirit of Yahweh. If you seek
the Anointed, you seek the fire, and when you are utterly burnt away,
you will rejoice in the True Light."
4. A woman asked Mary, "Are you the one the Lord loved dearly?" Mary
said, "The Lord loved the world, and he gave light and life to the
world, so that no longer would anyone have to live in darkness. He
loved me as the Soul of the World, so that embracing me he might
embrace the world and uplift it to the bridal chamber. I am she whom
the Lord loves, as is the soul of light in you. The one who finds me
will find the Anointed, for I am the house in which the Lord dwells."
5. The companions said to Mary, "Tell us about New Jerusalem." Mary
said, "It is Wisdom, not of this world, but of the World of Supernal
Light. When all of the sparks are gathered in and all of the vessels
of light are mended, you will see the glory of New Jerusalem coming
out of heaven, and in it you will behold the bridal chamber and the
image of the Anointed One in it."
6. Mary said, "What is cast down shall be lifted up, and what is
lifted up shall be thrown down; what is on high must be brought down
upon the earth, and the earth must be lifted on high."
7. Mary said, "Fire is above water, and the sky is above the earth.
All of these are above and below, and all are joined in the Mother's
womb, which is the primordial space from which they all arise.
Everything will return to its root and essence."
8. Mary said to a woman, "The Mother is everything, and she is
nothing. She is everything here below, and she is nothing in the
embrace of the Father above. Yet above and below she is the same, and
here she is always changing. You are she and she is you."
9. Mary once said, "Do not concern yourself with the darkness in the
world, but banish the darkness that is in you, because it will bind
you and destroy you if you do not cast it out of you."
10. Mary said, "Give what you wish to receive and you shall have it.
Take what you desire and it will be stolen from you."
11. Mary said to her disciples, "Eve and Lilith are one woman, and
she is a supernal emanation. If a woman knows herself she will know
the Holy Woman, just as if a man knows himself he will know the
Supernal Adam. To acquire this knowledge you must be single, which is
to say undivided."
12. Disciples of Mary said to her, "We are going on a pilgrimage to
the holy land so we might see where you and the Lord lived." Mary
said to them, "The holy land is wherever a child of Light goes, and
it is where the child of Light abides. The holy land is where the
Anointed and the soul are joined, it is the bridal chamber."
13. Mary said, "When you also pay the ransom, then you will be
ransomed, and no longer will you be held hostage."
14. Mary said, "Christ has one Mother, and she is the Queen of
Heaven. The body is born of the Earthly Mother, but the soul of light
is born of the Heavenly Mother, and it is the Mother Spirit that
awakens the soul of light. Mary gave birth to a child in the world,
but the Mother Spirit gave birth to Christ. So it is with all who are
anointed with Supernal Light."
15. Mary said to Salome, "We are dead because the Lord died, and we
live because the Lord lives. The tomb is the Mother's womb to those
who are among the living."
16. Mary said to some women, "If you know the path of the moon you
will know the path of the sun. With this knowledge and understanding,
follow the path of light which is beyond the sun or the moon. This is
the path of the cross."
17. Mary said to her disciples, "The cross is the limit, for it binds
the power of the demiurgos and Satan, which is death. Death has never
existed. The Lord has shown us this and now we must remember."
18. Mary once said, "A woman who knows how to bake bread understands
the purpose of yeast, and she includes yeast in the dough, though
only a little bit. So has the Mother put the fiery intelligence in
human beings, knowing they will ascend because of it."
19. Mary said, "Until there is light in a form and it becomes light,
it is a false appearance. Though a human form appears, unless a
person brings the supernal soul into the body, that person is not yet
a human being."
20. A woman said to Mary, "You saw the Risen Savior first. What did
he look like?" Mary said to her, "He looked like no man nor angel nor
god, but his appearance was the image of the Human One, the image and
likeness of the Living God. Truly I tell you, whoever beholds the
Risen Savior, it is as though he or she is the first to see him."
21. Mary said, "Everyone knows how to clean a house, but few know how
to make themselves clean inwardly. If you know how to clean a house
but do not know how to clean yourself inwardly, then your house and
all that you touch are unclean. Nothing is unclean to a person who is
clean. This is what the Lord taught his disciples."
22. Mary taught, "If you are violent then your end will be violent,
but if you acquire the peace of the Lord, then you will end in peace."
23. Mary spoke, and said, "There is baptism, chrism and wedding
feast, and there is the ransom and bridal chamber. Baptism is water,
chrism is fire and the ransom is earth. The wedding feast is the air,
for in the Spirit we shall meet the Anointed on the Day of Joy, and
then the element of the bridal chamber shall be fully revealed.
Everything the Lord accomplished he accomplished in a mystery, and
the Anointed Bride is the mystery."
24. Mary said, "Ask the Mother Spirit and she will show you the face
of our Father. When you look and see it, you will meet the gaze of
the Beloved, for he is the image of the Living Father."
25. Mary said, "Know how to love and you will be undivided. This is
the repentance the Lord taught, and it the perfect baptism."
26. A woman said to Mary, "You are the holiness of womanhood we have
been waiting to see." Mary said to her, "What have you been doing
while you were waiting? If you see this in me, then it is in you. All
the while it has been with you! What were you waiting for?"
27. A young lady said to Mary, "When will the world be transformed?"
Mary said, "It will not be transformed, but it is sacred to the
Mother already. When you are transformed the world will be
transformed, for you are the world and the world is you. The world is
changing all of the time, and yet it is unchanged. The Mother is
changing continually, yet she is ever the same, yesterday, today and
tomorrow. Become as the Mother and you will see the Great
Transformation, yet nothing will have changed."
28. Mary said, "When the Lord died the world passed away, and when
the Lord was raised up a new creation came into being. When the Pure
Emanation comes into the world it is the union of the beginning and
the end, and all things are restored anew."
29. Someone asked to see the holy wounds on Mary and she said, "Here,
look and see, but look also to see the Risen One; for unless you see
among the living, all that you see is dead things."
30. A woman said to Mary, "Our Lady, you are a great prophetess.
Praise the Lord who sent you among us." Mary said, "You also must be
a seer, for one who sees lives."
31. Salome reclined with Mary at the table, and Salome said to
Mary, "You, Bride of Light, are most blessed of women, for you have
known the Lord most intimately and have become fire and light." Mary
said to her, "Because you know the truth, you also are light and fire
and Spirit. In the whole of creation there is nothing else, only
light and fire and Spirit."
32. Mary said, "There are seven heavens, seven earths and seven
hells, and there are worlds within worlds, and realms within realms.
All shall pass away, but the Supernal Abode shall abide eternal.
There is no end to God's Word or Wisdom."
33. Mary said, "Know how to cleave, and the husks shall be shed, and
you will be joined to the Living One. The perfection of cleaving is
the bridal chamber, and the wedding feast is the glory of that
Perfect Aeon."
34. Mary said, "No one finds the Lord save those to whom the Lord
reveals himself, for the Lord seeks his own and has come for the
elect."
35. Mary said to some people, "If you are seeking, it is the Holy
Spirit that is seeking in you, and so be assured you will find.
Recognizing this, you have found already, and what you have found is
life."
36. Mary said, "One who clings to the world, clings to a corpse, and
one who clings to a corpse is unclean. There is a rite of
purification for one who becomes unclean by touching a corpse, but
first one must let go of the corpse and seek life."
37. Mary said, "The Divine Mother is light and she is darkness, she
is the saint and she is the sinner, angels and demons are images in
her, as are the gods and all of the archons; yet she is beyond all of
these. Know her in all things and you will be free of bondage, even
as the Anointed is free."
38. A woman said to Mary, "I have seen the light!" Mary said to the
woman, "Wonderful! Now join the darkness to it, and go into the
light, and you will discover what is beyond appearances."
39. Mary once said, "Deeply my body mourned for the Lord, but deeper
still the soul within me rejoiced. Do not cling to the image on the
cross, but cleave to the image of the Risen Savior."
40. Mary said, "A tree has life in it because of the sap, and we have
life in us because of the chrism. Unless one has the chrism, one is
not Christian but steals the name. Be certain you do not steal."
41. Mary said, "I was with the Risen Savior, and beheld the Mother.
In the first heaven, she was the Radiant Earth of Paradise. In the
second heaven, she was the Starry Night Sky. In the third heaven, she
was a Great Fire. In the fourth heaven, she was the Great Angel and
Celestial Temple, and the Holy Sacrifice. When I beheld her in the
fifth heaven, she was the Glory of the Anointed abiding there, and in
the sixth heaven, she was Fire and Ice and the End-Of-Days. In the
seventh heaven, she was the Great Luminous Assembly, and the Holy
Throne, and image of the One-Who-Sits-Upon-The-Throne; but in the
Supernal Abode I cannot say what she was like. One must look and see
for oneself."
42. Mary said, "When the Anointed descended into Hades and the realms
of Gehenna, the chosen came to him, drawn to the light, but many
spirits fled from him, unwilling to enter into the light. It was the
same when he walked upon the earth; the insiders drew near but the
outsiders were driven away."
43. Mary said to her disciples, "When the Risen Savior appears, look
into his heart, and there you will see a threefold flame of Sophia.
It is faith, hope and love, but inwardly it is knowledge,
understanding and wisdom. Ask the Lord to give you this Holy Flame,
so that you also might enter the kingdom and be perfect as the Father
and Son are perfect."
44. Mary to her companions, "There is power in the blood of Christ
and glory in the body of Christ, the essence and presence of the
Supernal Emanations. When you eat of the wedding feast, bind your
soul to the Light-Emanations. Ascending, you will descend with light,
and descending you will ascend with the Truth."
45. Mary said, "You go down into the water and you die, because the
reflection is shattered on the surface. When you rise up you come
alive, for knowing your origin you no longer cling to a reflection or
an image, but are reborn of your true essence. The nature of this
essence is no-thing, and knowing this you will rule over the
entirety."
46. Mary said, "The Lord said, `Do not make a home for yourselves in
the world, but be at home in the Spirit."
47. Mary said, "Many are the apostles the Lord has sent, and they are
rays of light flowing out of the Spiritual Sun. Many are the apostles
the Bride shall send, and they are flames of fire leaping out of her.
If you receive one whom the Bridegroom and Bride sends, then you
receive one who comes from the Pleroma of Light. Woe to they who
reject the apostles of light, for they have rejected their own soul!
Receive every person who comes to you walking in holiness and beauty,
for they are your fathers and mothers, your brothers and sisters, and
your little ones."
48. Mary taught her disciples, saying, "The Aeons of Light are the
handmaids of the Bride at the wedding feast, and the best man is the
Son of Adam at the wedding; in the bridal chamber the soul acquires
intimate acquaintance with the Anointed and becomes the Anointed.
Until that time, sing and dance and rejoice, for it is to those who
abide in joy that the Shekinah comes, and it is through her that you
will enter the bridal chamber."
49. Mary said, "Come, let us go in. The Lord is waiting. If the mark
is in you, then it is a sin to go outside. The righteous are those
who live inwardly in the presence of the Anointed."
50. Mary said, "A man once came to the Lord seeking an answer, but
the Lord sat in silence. When the man departed, the Lord
said, `Perhaps he was not seeking, but if he was, then surely he has
his answer.' Many times the Lord said nothing, but an answer was
given. Remember this when you pray, for the power of prayer is
silence."
51. Mary said, "What is a woman to do against a strong man? She
cannot overcome him. When faced with a strong man, if she cannot call
out to a righteous man for help, then her only choice is not to
resist him. Now I ask you, is this right? Indeed! For she will live
and the day of justice will come! Yet it is wrong, for this
demonstrates the dominion of falsehood in this world. There is great
power in womanhood but it is hidden, and many men and beasts of the
field seem to have power, but inwardly are weak. In the World of
Supernal Light only the soul that has power in it will have power,
and those lacking the power of truth will not appear in it. This
world is a world of falsehood, but the world-to-come is a World of
Truth. Do not be deceived by appearances and do not doubt there will
be justice!"
52. Mary taught, "Once you come to the light and know the light is in
you, you cannot continue to walk in the ways of darkness, lest you
fall into a greater darkness. No! You must walk in the light and
enter the light, and bring forth the light from within you, for only
then will you be established in the Way of Life."
53. Mary said to her disciples, "Do not receive every spirit that
comes to you, but put every spirit to the test, to see if it comes
from God or the demiurge or Satan. There are many false lights, and
they glitter and glow, and even a demon can appear in the image of
the Risen One. Do not be deceived, but look always for the light of
love and truth, for what is evil lacks love and what is mixture lacks
the perfection of Truth. In the Holy Spirit you will be empowered to
discern, for she is discerning awareness."
54. Mary said, "The Lord laid down a ransom for your soul, yet if you
do not receive the Spirit of the Lord and live as a free person, then
the ransom does not take effect. Only a free person can gather and
give ransom, and so set free a hostage. Everything you see the Lord
do, you must also do. This is the Way of Freedom."
55. The disciples of Mary said, "Tell us about Grandmother Israel?"
Mary said to them, "She has seen the End-Of-Days and the Beginning-Of-
Life, and she is ancient, yet she is ever young. She is the
understanding of wisdom, and knowledge of truth, the perfection of
awareness. All is in her sight, yet she desires nothing. She is the
fruition of womanhood having given birth to Divine Illumination."
56. Mary said, "Until you know the darkness of Sophia, you will not
acquire her light. Unless you die and are reborn of the Mother
Spirit, the knowledge of the resurrection will elude you."
57. Mary said, "Do not think the cross is wood, for it is light. Do
not think the Anointed is a man, for he is an emanation. Do not
become bound by appearances, for the Spirit of Truth is invisible. Do
not be idolaters."
58. Mary said, "Pray that you have an eye that sees, an ear that
hears, a tongue that tastes, a nose that smells and a body that
feels. For many are they who are dead, whose senses perceive nothing,
but you have been called to life and raised from the dead. Therefore,
pray to be fully alive."
59. Mary said, "There are many gods and goddesses with great power,
and all manner of spirits that have secret knowledge, yet the power
that is in you is greater and the knowledge you possess is more rare
and precious. I tell you, great and luminous beings shall come
seeking power and knowledge from you. See that you give to all who
ask and withhold only from those who come to steal, and those who
receive let worship the Anointed of God Most High."
60. Mary said, "I tell you truly, you are divine beings, but do not
let anyone worship you."
61. Once Mary said, "In the Anointed you are free from bondage to the
law and the dominion of the archons. Do not make yourself a slave
again, but live as a free man or woman in the Holy Spirit."
62. Mary said to her disciples, "Unless you go out of your homeland,
and follow the Spirit through the wilderness into the Promised Land
as I have, you cannot be a disciple to me. Unless you bear the marks
of the crucifixion that I bear, you cannot be a disciple to the Lord.
When you receive the call you must go forth and not look back, for
the one who looks back shall be bound, but the one who looks to the
Anointed will be set free."
63. Mary was teaching one day, and she said, "The warden and guards
will pursue anyone attempting to escape from prison, and dark spirits
will arise to oppose anyone who shines with light. Do not fear the
persecution you face on account of the Risen Savior and Mother
Spirit, but have faith and endure, for your freedom is already won
and all darkness has come to an end."
64. Mary said, "If you desire something, ask the Mother, for she
gives to her children all that they desire."
65. Mary's disciples asked her, "How should we worship God?" Mary
said, "With tears and with laughter, and in all that you do, and with
song and dance, and in every way the Spirit inspires. Worship in the
Spirit of Truth, with your heart and your soul, your mind and your
body; live in the presence of Yahweh always."
66. Mary said, "Do not mistake the rites performed outwardly for the
true sacred rite, for unless the sacred rites transpire inwardly, the
outward rites are only husks of darkness."
67. Mary said, "Receiving the baptism of water, seek also the baptism
of fire and the Spirit, for only when you are baptized with fire and
the Spirit is your baptism complete."
68. Mary said, "The Anointed has sown seeds of light; you are the
secret garden of the Anointed, and in due season the harvest shall
come. Tend to your growth now so that you may be ripe and mature when
the harvest comes."
69. Mary said, "The mystery of the bridal chamber is private, it can
only be spoken in the presence of one, and only if it is known to
that one already. Do not speak in public about things that are
private, but be wise in your speech."
70. Mary taught, "Many have followed their heart, and it led them
astray. Yet, it was not their heart that they followed, but some
other spirit. The Lord is seated there, in your heart, and you must
know your heart to know the Lord. There is a husk of darkness
surrounding the heart; when that husk is broken and falls away, then
you will know your heart and know the Lord. Let your heart be
circumcised so that you might enter into the fullness of love and be
intimately acquainted."
71. Mary said, "To gain recognition is to become what you see, for no
one sees anything he or she has not become. If a person is not able
to recognize the Anointed, or one whom the Anointed sends, it is
because the Anointed does not indwell that person. When there is
recognition rejoice, therefore, for your salvation is near and you
have entered the kingdom."
72. Mary said, "Unless you know the kingdom in you, you will not see
it outside of you; unless the Anointed indwells you, you will not
find the Anointed in the world."
73. Mary said, "We are Christ-like until we become Christ, and the
Lord has promised every true Christ-like person will become Christ.
This is our spiritual hope."
74. The disciples inquired of Mary about the World of Supernal Light.
She said to them, "It is above and below, within you and beyond you,
and all around you, but few are they who have eyes to see it, and
fewer still who dwell in it."
75. A disciple asked Mary, "When will the Second Coming occur?" Mary
said, "It can happen at any time, anywhere, when you least expect it.
It is the mystery of the Perfect Aeon known only to the Living
Father, which he will reveal in the Mother in due season. Therefore,
be ready and live without regrets, so that when it transpires you
will be among the living."
76. Mary said, "Only one who is passionate for truth will discover
the truth."
77. A man asked Mary, "Who is greater, you or Yeshua?" Mary said to
him, "Truly I tell you, the Anointed is the Anointed, whether male or
female, and the Anointed is exalted above every head, even the
highest among the angels in heaven and Aeons of Light. As for Yeshua,
he is greater than I, for I received everything from him. And so it
is for every disciple, he or she is never greater than the teacher."
78. Mary was teaching in the assembly, and a woman exclaimed, "Now is
the hour of the Holy Bride!" Mary said, "No, before the Bride is
received, she must be rejected, and before the Second Coming there
must come a great darkness. Until the Second Coming of Christ, the
Wisdom of God shall not be received. When the Bride is received, know
the Second Coming is near."
79. Mary said, "If you know what the world is, you will no longer
desire it, for you will see what is beyond the world. When you see
what is beyond the world, in that day it will be in the world."
80. A young disciple asked Mary, "How can I come to know the Lord?"
Mary said, "Become empty, like a cup, and let the Mother Spirit pour
the Lord and her presence into you."
81. Mary said, "Seek to commune with the angels of our Heavenly
Father and the angels of our Earthly Mother, and cleaving to the Lord
in your heart, let the heavens and earth be joined."
82. Mary said, "All things exist in and with one another, and while
they exist they depend on one another, but when the time of
dissolution comes, all things will return to their own root and
essence. What has come from above returns to the abode from which it
has come, and what comes from below returns to its origin. What is in
between has never existed, and will return to the Great Void."
83. Mary said, "Is it not written, `In the beginning was void and
chaos?' Yet, did not God exist before the beginning? If order and
light came into being, surely these are of God. As for the void and
chaos, these are the primordial ground from which God has created;
and the one creating is the demiurge. For in truth, what God creates
is emanation, and the emanations of God create. Therefore, Yahweh
emanated and Elohim created. There is no beginning to this, nor is
there an end. Consider this when you meditate on the End-Of-Days."
84. Mary said, "Did God give birth to creation without a womb? No,
indeed! For creation is in God's womb, and until it is complete it
shall not emerge."
85. Mary said, "When the soul departs this world it must travel
through many realms in between, and it must pass through the realms
of the archons, and the heavens, and the great abyss. Powers will
arise to prevent the soul's ascent, and guardians will seek to bind
it to their realms, yet those who cleave to the Anointed, in whom the
Holy Spirit dwells, they will be invisible to the powers and
guardians. Already, they are free!"
86. Mary said, "From the purity of space, air arose, and from air,
fire arose, and from fire, water, and from these the earth came into
being. When you depart the world, let the elements dissolve into one
another, and let the Mother and Father Essences be joined; then wait
upon the Spirit of the Lord, abiding in the Transparent Light of the
Supernal Abode. In this way you will attain repose."
87. A woman said to Mary, "I am dying and wish to go to God. What
should I do?" Mary said, "Gather yourself as a sun in your heart, and
envision the Risen Savior come for you. When the Savior appears, as
light rise up to meet him in the air and the Anointed will receive
you in God."
88. Mary said, "Labor while you are in the field, and rest when you
are called home. Do not be idle while you live, lest you depart the
world in poverty."
89. Mary said, "Because of the power of the demiurgos, you have
forgotten yourself. You believe you are a child of darkness, yet you
are a child of light. Indeed! Truly, I say to you, you are a person
of light who has come from the light, and if you remember yourself
you will know where your home is. This is the remembrance of the
wedding feast, regarding which the Lord instructed us, "Do this in
remembrance of me."
90. Mary said, "What the Anointed is, I am and you are; for this
reason the Anointed has come, to remind those caught in the spell of
forgetfulness."
91. Mary said, "Beware! If you blaspheme the Mother Spirit there will
be no one to save you, for she is the Spirit of salvation and your
very life."
92. Mary said, "Weave for yourselves garments of light, so that when
you go before the Queen of Heaven to be received you do not appear
naked. With faith and the fullness of knowledge, do good works and
love one another, and in the Spirit of the Lord you will have
garments of light."
93. Mary once said, "Blessed is one who knows sorrow and suffering,
for that person will know life."
94. Mary said, "You cannot destroy the evil inclination, but if you
bring it into the service of the good it will no longer be evil."
95. Mary said, "When the saint receives the Anointed it is good, but
when the sinner receives the Anointed it is better, for entering into
the light the sinner is more powerful than the saint."
96. Mary said to her disciples, "You are midwives of the Mother
Spirit, and you are meant to labor with her in the harvest of souls.
Yet do not grasp on to the fruit of your labors, for it is she who
accomplishes everything and to whom all good fruits belong."
97. Mary said, "No one will know the Living Father apart from the
Mother, for it is she who shows us the face of our Father."
98. Mary spoke, and she said, "Having awakened, remain awake, and
keep vigil, ever waiting upon the Lord."
99. Mary said to her companions, "Preach the Gospel to all good
creatures, and bear forth the light into all realms. If the wind will
listen, teach the wind. If a ghost seeks redemption, then bless the
ghost. Speak the truth to all spirits and creatures, for in the Human
One all are blessed and all are received."
100. Mary said, "Know when to retreat and when to live. When you
retreat be silent and die to yourself, so that you might be alive in
the Spirit. When you live, be alive and vibrant, and rejoice each day
in the presence of God."
101. Mary said to her disciples, "The Human One is the divinity in
the holy Shabbat and the Shekinah is the companion of all who
remember and keep it. The Lord has ordained the Shabbat as a blessing
for all who desire to draw near. It is a great blessing."
102. Mary said, "The Anointed is the Lord of the Shabbat, and it is
the day of the Beloved. In it is the mystery of the bridal chamber,
and those who honor it shall gain knowledge of the mystery."
103. Mary said, "In heaven men and women who have love and knowledge
of God are fully received in the light, but below only men of God are
fully received, for there is an abode of falsehood and darkness, and
the archons favor the male. Yet, the image of the Human One in the
bridal chamber is male and female joined together in one body of
light, like unto the holy angels. When the image below is as the
image above, then the Gospel will be fulfilled."
104. Mary said to her disciples, "All aeons are not divine, but many
are brought in by the demiurgos and archons and bear the taint of
falsehood. The aeons are thoughts in the Perfect Intelligence of God,
fashioned by Wisdom and Understanding, yet under the influence of the
demiurge they are corrupted. Only the pure emanation of the Aeon of
Light is free of taint or corruption, for it is the body of the Risen
Savior whom the archons could not hold in bondage. And it shall come
to pass that a false aeon shall replace the Aeon of Truth, for
already the image in the bridal chamber is partial in the minds of
men."
105. Mary said, "The Perfect Aeon is called Eternal Shabbat, and the
soul of the Perfect Aeon is called the Christ, and it is Light and
Truth. The seed of the Perfect Aeon has been sown in the world, in
the human mind and heart, and it shall bear good fruit in due season.
Until that time there are many aeons in conflict below the great
abyss, and the world is a play of shadows and shades and dim glows.
Therefore, do not be deceived, but cleave to the True Light, and pray
for the Aeon of the Holy Spirit in which all aeons will be rectified
and the revelation of the Perfect Aeon complete."
106. Mary said, "The Anointed was joined by the Living Father to the
Light-Emanations so that when he appeared to us their radiant holy
breath and power was in him. This is the power of the Holy Spirit
that he breathed upon us, akin to the Spirit of God moving upon the
surface of the deep in the beginning. Yet, this Spirit which the
Anointed breathed on us moved on the surface and the deep. On account
of this breath of the Savior a new creation has come into being which
is the purity of emanation."
107. Mary said to her companions, "There is light and fire in your
breath, and if you cleave to the Risen Savior and breathe as the
Savior breathes, you will discover it. When you discover it your
whole body will become filled with fire and light and you will be
transformed into the image of the Living One."
108. Mary said, "The aeons are perfect and eternal above, but their
images below are inherently flawed. Seek to look and see them above
so that you might join soul and image and rectify them."
109. Mary spoke these words in private. She said, "The body and blood
of the Lord is fire and light, and the power of the Mother Spirit is
in it. There is fire in the bread and light in the wine, and the Holy
Spirit passes in between them and joins them. So are the Bride and
Bridegroom joined, and it is for this reason it is called a wedding
feast. Understand, the body and blood are not the image on the cross,
but they are the image of the Risen Savior, so that consecrated, the
power of the Risen Savior is in the bread and wine. What is the image
of the Risen Savior? It is the image of the Groom and Bride united
called the Second Adam. This is the image of the Great Seth."
110. Mary said to her disciples, "Kali Kallah appears black to those
who do not know her, yet to those who love her and who draw near she
is white brilliance. Her image is as the starry night sky, and the
light of the heavens and Supernal Abode are in her. To pass beyond
you must enter her embrace, even as the Lord embraced her. Then,
through Daughter Sophia you will acquire knowledge of Mother Sophia,
the Queen of Heaven."
111. Mary said, "There is wisdom and there is wisdom, and the wisdom
of the world is not the Wisdom of God. Seek, therefore, the truth of
wisdom, that knowing the Wisdom of God all wisdom might be redeemed
in you."
112. Mary said, "The Logos emanated into the world for the redemption
of Sophia. If the redemption of Sophia is not received in the world,
then the world is not redeemed. Sophia received the Logos, and those
who cleave to Sophia have received the Logos, and they are redeemed.
It is Sophia in you that receives the Logos and is saved."
113. Mary was speaking to her companions. She said, "Everything that
is above is in you here below. The light of the heavens and Supernal
Abode is in you, and the essence of the Perfect Aeon. Let Logos and
Sophia embrace in you and you will behold great wonders, and nothing
will be impossible to you, for what is above will be brought down
below and what is below will be lifted above. Praise the Lord!"
114. Mary said, "Logos is the name of the Lord and Sophia is the name
of the Bride. In the bridal chamber their name is Christos."
115. Mary said to her disciples, "You have heard of the ascension of
Enoch. When he ascended he became male and female, and the male
entered into repose and the female moved to run and return; thus
Metatron appeared in the height and Sandalphon in the depths. This is
the Great Angel of the Lord, male and female, the image of Bride and
Bridegroom. And it is the Supernal Image of our perfection."
116. Mary said, "God the Father entered in through the image of the
Son, but the world was overwhelmed by the great supernal glory.
Therefore, the Son imparted the Mother Spirit and God the Mother has
entered in through the image of the Daughter to nurture the little
ones until they grow wise. The light entered but was too bright, and
so now the fire comes to purify so that all might be sanctified to
receive the True Light. Everything shall be accomplished in due
season, and it is the Mother Spirit that will accomplish everything."
117. Mary said, "We have Father and we have Mother, for God is our
Father and our Mother, though, indeed, the Most High is beyond Father
or Mother. There is no knowledge of the Father apart from the Mother,
for it is Mother Spirit who gives birth to the image of the Son in
whom the Living Father is revealed. So also shall Mother Spirit give
birth to the image of the Daughter, so that the image of the Son will
be perfect and the revelation of God Most High made complete. Truly I
say to you, there is a holier Gospel yet to be spoken."
118. Mary said, "Under the law and old covenant the circumcision
applied only to men, but in the new covenant women are also
circumcised; likewise, under the old covenant only men were called as
priests, but under the new covenant there are also women called as
priestesses. The old covenant fell to the dominion of the demiurgos.
It remains to be seen whether the new covenant shall stand or fall.
If it falls, then another shall arise. Therefore, labor always for
the perfection of the covenant, so that you are awake when the Aeon
of the Holy Spirit enters in."
119. A woman said to Mary, "I have heard that the Lord walked on
water." Mary said, "Indeed! The Lord did walk on water, and he walked
on the firmaments of the heavens when he ascended to the Supernal
Abode. Tell me, which is the greater wonder?"
120. Mary said to her disciples, "I was water, but the Lord made me
wine. Now I may bring passion and joy to the hearts of human ones and
a force of fire against the Great Beast."
121. Mary said, "In the Lord men have an image of their perfection,
and in the Bride women have an image of their perfection, and it is a
single perfection. Unless there is perfection in man and woman, the
perfection of the Human One is incomplete. And so the Lord said to
us, `Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.' For truly, the
Father is not the Father, and the Mother is not the Mother, for the
image of the Human One, which is the likeness and image of the Most
High, is male and female joined together – the Androgynous and Self-
Begetting One. This is the truth of the Anointed."
122. Mary said, "Three days passed from the crucifixion to the
resurrection, and so shall three days pass from the resurrection to
the Second Coming. Let those who have ears listen and hear what the
Spirit is speaking!"
123. Mary said, "If Christos can appear as a male, then surely
Christos can appear as a female. Those who deny holiness in womanhood
do not understand holiness in manhood or womanhood but are sorely
bound to ignorance. Do not believe the father-of-lies, but believe in
the Mother Spirit whose name is the Spirit of Truth and Comforter!"
124. Mary said, "The beast of the field receives by grace, and the
faithful receive by faith and grace; but it is the elect who receive
by faith and knowledge and grace, and for this reason are called `the
perfect.'"
125. Mary said, "Where darkness abides, the light cannot enter. When
the light enters all darkness vanishes. To enter into the light you
must banish the darkness that is in you, and when you enter the light
you must join the light and darkness to gain the acquaintance of the
True Light. Unless you first let go of the darkness and cleave to the
light, the light cannot enter, but once the light enters all darkness
shall be transformed and you will know the Truth beyond light or
darkness. This is the Truth that will set you free!"
126. Mary said to her companions, "I tell you, there is a superior
intelligence that shall come to those who wait upon the Spirit of the
Lord, and it is like thunder and lightning, and it will illuminate
you."
127. Mary said, "If you seek knowledge of the Risen Savior, open
yourself to the light that comes from above. It will awaken a fire in
you and bring you into the fullness of knowledge, understanding and
wisdom, and you will lack nothing."
128. Mary said, "Where there is peace God's Spirit abides. Therefore,
make peace and you will know great joy."
129. Mary said, "If you cannot love, you cannot be united. One who is
divided is destined for destruction. Therefore the Savior taught us
to love so that we might have life."
130. A woman said to Mary, "It is not my destiny to attain salvation,
for it is not in the stars for me. The stars of my birth are ill-
fated." Mary said, "It is not the stars that determine your fate, my
sister, but it is the Mother Spirit. According to the stars of her
birth, Sarah was not destined to have a son, yet the Mother Spirit
blessed Sarah and she gave birth to Isaac. If you have faith and seek
true knowledge, you will not be bound by the fates sin and the
archons dictate, for in the Risen Savior your soul is exalted beyond
the domains of the archons and the celestial regions. Believe in God,
not in the abodes of the archons, and the Mother Spirit will fulfill
your heart's desire. Your destiny is with Christ in God."
131. Mary said, "When you pray join yourself to the Anointed by the
power of the Name, and cleave to the Light-Emanations. Let your heart
pray and use few words, and learn the delight of the prayer of
silence. For it is in silence you will hear the Spirit of Yahweh
speaking. This is how the Savior taught us to pray."
132. Mary said, "It is with passion that one must cleave, and all
passions must be cleaving. Then you will experience the perfection of
cleaving which is divine rapture."
133. Mary said, "When you have one thought and one desire, in that
instant you will be fulfilled."
134. Mary said, "Abide where you are, there the Anointed is."
135. Mary said to her companions, "If you do not know your heart, you
cannot know the Lord. For, there, in your heart, is the indwelling
Christ, and your inmost heart's desire is Christ. Therefore, knowing
your heart you will know Christ and in Christ all your desires will
be fulfilled."
136. Mary said, "Knowledge, understanding and wisdom are not superior
to love, for these come from union and it is love that unites. One
who has love will have knowledge, understanding and wisdom, but
without love no one is wise. If there is power apart from love, it is
evil and will give birth to evil, but where there is love power is
exercised in wisdom. All good things come by way of love."
137. Mary said to her disciples, "If you desire to be free, set
others free. Be forgiving and you will be forgiven."
138. Mary said to her disciples, "Of all things I wish you to have
the Sacred Heart of Christ, which is compassion. For compassion is
the womb of the Mother in which Christ is conceived, and in this
Christ will be born in you. Pray to the Mother Spirit to have her
womb and to conceive and birth the Anointed in you. I will pray for
you also."
139. Mary said, "Do not think the kingdom of the Anointed is of this
world, for it is not of this world. Yet do not think that you must
depart this world to enter into the kingdom, for it has come near
unto you this day and it is in you."
140. Mary said to her companions, "The Lord ascended to repose in the
Father, but the Holy Bride remains with you. Invite her and welcome
her. She will come to you and reveal herself to you. In her shall all
mysteries of the Anointed be revealed and in her you will know the
perfection of the Mother Spirit. You need only open your mind and
heart and life to her, and she will come and enter, and the Spirit of
the Anointed will come with her. She will bring you into the bridal
chamber."
141. Mary said, "If anything is written it is dead apart from the
Spirit, but if something is written and the Spirit is in you, it will
be black fire on while fire that you will see, and there will be
neither black nor white."
142. Mary said, "The Lord spoke with authority because the Living
Father granted it to him and the Mother Spirit spoke in him. He was
the presence and power of which he was speaking. You also seek this
divine authority, so that you might also speak Truth."
143. Mary said, "There is no place among us for the undecided, for
they have not yet received the call."
144. Mary said to her disciples, "The Lord has said that the Holy
Spirit will reveal what has not been revealed, and that she will lead
us into All-Truth. When her hour comes, this will come to pass, even
as the Lord spoke it. Already it is coming to pass, though when she
will move freely no one knows."
145. Mary said, "If God were not alien there would be no need for the
divine revelation, for God would be known among humankind. Because,
as yet, God is alien, revealers come and the revelation is on-going."
146. Mary said, "You say I am a woman, but see, I am a man, and I am
a woman, and I am neither man nor woman. You go looking for the
anointed, but do not see. So long as you are looking, you will not
see. When your seeking comes to an end, you will find."
147. Mary said, "Pray with your heart, not your head, for your head
will lead you astray."
148. Mary said to her companions, "Here you are, and here I am, and
here the Lord is also."
149. Mary said, "I looked into the eyes of the Anointed and found no
beginning, and so also I found no end. Everything is in the Anointed,
the Father, the Mother and the entirety; therefore the whole of
crucified and raised up with him. Yet, unless one acquires the
knowledge of this, it has not transpired."
150. Mary spoke, and she said, "Do you not know that the True Light
has been her from the very beginning, only it was not activated? Now
that it is activated greater wonders then you have seen shall come to
pass, and you will be among the wonders."
151. Mary said, "Pray the Holy Spirit moves so that you might
recognize her, for then she can lead you into perfect repose, even as
she lead the Son to repose in the Living Father."
152. Salome said, "When the Lord spoke of the first being the last,
and the last being the first, he was speaking of the Bridegroom and
Holy Bride."
153. Mary said, "If the being is separate from the becoming, then
there is no life in the becoming; and if the becoming is separate
from the being, then the being does not exist. Being and becoming are
one, for it is written: "The LORD and His Name are One."
154. Mary said, "If you believe in a multiplicity of gods, it is
inferior; yet if you do not recognize the many powers superior
knowledge is impossible."
155. Some young women among the disciples asked Mary, "When you knew
the Lord, what was it like?" Mary said, "Why do you ask of what has
passed away when this knowledge is in your presence?"
156. Mary said, "When new life comes to you do not cling to the old."
157. Mary said, "An angel lead lot's wife to life, but she turned to
gaze at destruction and became what is dead. When the angel leads you
out of the corruption of the world, do not turn towards the world
again as she did."
158. Mary said to her disciples, "Do not be deceived by the
name `Comforter' that is give to the Holy Spirit, for before she is
the Comforter her name of Deep Trouble, and she will seem as an angel
of wrath before appearing as an angel of mercy."
159. Mary said, "To fear death is to fear life, and those who fear
death are not alive, it is for this reason they fear death – they
fear to know who and what they are."
160. Mary said, "There is heart and soul, mind and life, and there is
Light; let all of these be united in the Light and they will become
the Light – the Living Yeshua is proof of this."
161. Mary said, "Those who say Christ was crucified do not know what
they are saying, and those who say Christ was not crucified also do
not know what they are saying. Those who have many words concerning
the crucifixion are ignorant of the Anointed, for the truth of the
Anointed is the Risen Savior, the Bornless One."
162. Mary said, "There are twelve gates through which souls enter
into the world, but one gate through which all depart. Yet that one
gate is many, for it opens above and below and again into the world.
When you pass through it remember to gather yourself and rise up, and
join yourself to what appears. Do not fear white brilliance, for it
will deliver you."
163. Mary said, "No one will explain the Lord to another person, but
the Spirit will explain everything and the Lord will speak to those
who have ears to hear."
164. Mary said to her disciples, "Do not speak of deep things until
you know the simple, and when you know the simple do not neglect the
things of depth."
165. Mary said, "The archons thought that they killed the Christ,
just as they thought by their own power they created the world and
humanity. But they were self-deluded, for they crushed only an empty
husk, like themselves, and they began their own end in so doing!"
166. Mary said, "The Anointed is the Light-presence above the cross
and in the cross, and if the Light was in the image it did not shine
forth until the resurrection. You also have the Light above you and
in you, though it is concealed. Seek to bring it forth and let is
shine, so that your image above and below might be complete. Then you
will be free forever and ever."
167. Mary said to her companions, "This I am, of which the Lord
spoke, this is You and the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory; it is
everyone and everything. And so it is!"
168. Mary said, "When the wind blows, listen, the Spirit is speaking;
let your prayers be set upon the four winds in Spirit so that they
should be a blessing to the whole earth. If you pray in this way the
Supreme Spirit above will receive your prayer."
169. Mary said, "If you have all knowledge, but lack love, then you
lack knowledge altogether."
170. Mary said, "We speak in the tongues of angels and beasts and the
ancient ones, yet only human beings hear and understand our wisdom."
171. Mary said, "If the Truth is in you, but you do not speak it, how
can you be true? When will your perfection come?"
172. Mary said, "Guard your intention, and be willful in love; for it
is the intention of any activity which is its truth. Many do the
right things with wrong intentions and are taken down into the
infernal abodes, and there are those who appear to do what is wrong
but have entered into the Great Ascension."
173. Mary said, "There are Great and Shinning Ones who come among
you. Be careful in your dealings with others, for truly, you may not
know that one who comes before you is among these Divine powers. Live
as one among the righteous ones and angels, for it may be you do not
know the Divine power in you."
174. Mary said, "Beware of those who glorify and bear witness of
themselves, for all who are true have heralds and the Holy Spirit is
the True Witness."
175. Mary said, "If a person says, `I found it,' know that they do
not have it; yet if a person does not believe they have it, they will
never find it."
176. Mary said, "Be careful with the names, for there is great power
in them. Yet, unless the great power is in you they are nothing."
177. Mary said, "Seventy-two angels compose the Name, yet even the
angels did not know how to speak it until the Logos came to be below."
178. Mary said to some of her disciples, "No one was alive until the
Anointed came, now there are the dead and there are the living ones."
179. Mary said, "If you desire Truth, it will be disclosed to you,
but if it is not disclosed then you do not desire it. If you desire
Truth, then your desire is the manifestation of the Spirit of Truth
you seeks, and that desire is self-fulfilling and self-generating,
and one who has it will become the Self-begotten One."
180. Mary said, "There is death everywhere below, but there is life
above. Bring down your life that you might have the power to raise
the dead, even as the Lord raise our brother."
181. A disciple asked Mary, "When the Lord raise Lazarus, where did
Lazarus go?" Like the Baptist, he is a secretive and wild spirit,
only the Holy Spirit knows where he went, for she hides him as the
Witness for the End-Of-Days. And so he lives and shall live to bear
witness to everything, even as the Lord spoke of him."
182. Mary was speaking to her disciples and they were marveling at
the mysteries pouring forth from her. She said to them, "If anyone
speaks and mystery and reveals it, it is not the person who has
spoken, but the Spirit in the person."
183. Mary said, "One who has life can give life, but one who is dead
cannot even help him or herself. Acquire life so that you have life
to give."
184. Mary said, "Everything that is the Lord's belongs to me and
everything that is mine belongs to him. It is this way with all who
love the Lord."
185. Mary said, "Considering all things that have transpired, do not
grasp at answers but live in holy awe and wonder. In this way all
things are made known."
186. Mary said, "There was no life in this body until I met the Lord,
but then I received my life. And now I rejoice in the Lord of Life,
the Holy One who dances with me and I with him."
187. Some disciples asked Mary, "Should we be celibate?" Mary
said, "Be what you are, and inwardly be like unto the holy angels."
188. A woman said to Mary, "I do not wish to have a child, so as not
to give birth to a slave." Mary said to her, "Blessed are you when
you do not do so!" Another woman hearing this became troubled, and
she said to Mary, "But Mary, I long to have a child who might labor
for the kingdom." Mary said to her, "Blessed are you when you have
such a child in your arms!"
189. Mary said, "Many are concerned with unreal things, but as for
you, pay attention to the real. What is real is in your heart, and
therein you will know it. What is on the outside is unreal, but what
is on the inside is real. When you join the inside and outside, above
and below, then the whole is real."
190. Mary said, "Stay always with the zeal and love you had at first,
and you will not error, for such is the way of a child of God."
191. Mary said, "Even when the Lord laid himself down he did not
sleep nor cease from his labor, and even now he labors in you in the
Spirit. So labor continually with him and you shall savor the fruits
of this divine labor."
192. Mary spoke with her disciples, and she said, "Men think that the
Lord came to save the world, but he did not come to save the world.
The Anointed has comes as a force of Fire and Light to shatter and
burn the world utterly away, until only Truth remains in it."
193. Some disciples inquired of Mary about the end of time. Mary
said, "It is the Day of Understanding. In that time there will be
holy apostles who bring the knowledge of the covenant of the Mother
Spirit, and there will be many false prophets in the world. A great
Light and great Darkness shall enter into the world, and great
conflict and confusion will follow. The Bride will be with the holy
ones and she will bring with her two witnesses, and there will be
many signs in the matrix of the world, and also there will be
wonders, though hidden. If peace is attained before that time, then
all shall come to pass by way of pure grace, yet these days if peace
is not attained shall surely appears as woes and wrath. On account of
the archons it is unlikely peace shall be attained before that day.
But the holy shall be set apart, and though they die yet shall they
live to enter the bridal chamber."
194. Mary said, "In the day of the coming of the Anointed many shall
look and see, and among them many will be unwilling to enter the
Light, for they shall not recognize the Light in the Daughter sent
among them."
195. Mary said, "One who knows the Mother is near to the Father, but
one who denies the Mother is far from the Father. There is not two,
but only one God, and God is both Father and Mother."
196. Mary said, "The name of the Anointed is not the name men speak,
but it is a name sealed in the heart of the elect, and because they
are holy when they speak it no one hears it, save for those who are
elect."
197. Mary said, "Listen! The Holy Spirit is Supernal, yet she is
everywhere here below. She is the Light of the heavens and the fire
of Gehenna, and she is the Life-power in all creatures in heaven, and
earth and beneath the earth – she is the All-In-All. If anyone is
ignorant of her, then they are surely not alive."
198. Mary said, "The Way is narrow, for there is but one Path for
each soul, and the unique essence of the soul is the Way, Truth and
Light. Save that one lives by way of this, one will not come into
life."
199. Mary said, "Let divine passion play upon you, and let the Spirit
carry you where she will, then you will know what divine rapture is."
200. Mary said to her disciples, "At the dawn of the End-Of-Days many
wisdom treasuries shall be discovered, and there will be many who
receive the Light of those days; yet, on account of the great
darkness, there will be a multitude of false lights and all manner of
deceptions. Before the greater joy, I tell you, great sorrow and
suffering will engulf the world. Yet, all shall be as it is to be,
and all things shall be accomplished."
201. Mary said, "Live as though the Lord is coming tomorrow and you
will not go wrong."
202. Mary said, "The meaning of repentance is this: If you miss the
mark, a just your aim. A baptism is given for the remission of sin,
so that the soul might be loosed from the bow aimed at the Supernal
Abode."
203. Mary said, "God Most High became Mother and Father to conceive
and give birth to the Son and Holy Spirit. And so God formed the
primordial womb from give birth to the image and likeness of Godself.
Those who know the Virgin Mother will also experience the conception
of Christ, and the Holy Spirit will manifest as them."
204. Mary said, "I said to the Lord, `Let me know you,' and the Lord
said to me, `As you wish, know yourself.'"
205. Mary said, "If you do not know yourself, how will you propose to
know God?"
206. Mary said, "I am the aura of flames dancing about him, and he is
the center of Light – I am everywhere, but he is nowhere; I am he and
he is me. There is no difference from beginning to end. Know the
Lord, the One Anointed with the Supernal Light of God and you will
come into the acquaintance of Holy Fire."
207. Mary said, "Moses saw a burning bush; but I tell you, in the
Spirit of the Anointed we have beheld the entirety on fire!"
208. Mary said, "All were in the bondage of slavery, under the
dominion of Pharaoh, until the Anointed came. But since the Anointed
came we have become free men and women, and we have been set over the
taskmasters. The law if prophecy, the Gospel is the fulfillment of
prophecy. Yet, to the Aeon of the Bride and Mother Spirit the Gospel
that is with us is prophecy. Let those who have ears, listen and hear
the Word and Wisdom of the Almighty!"
209. Mary said, "If you know how to cast the circle, then you will
know how to deliver the spirits; for the secret of deliverance lies
in the circle ascending."
210. Mary said, "The spark must become a flame, and the flame must
become a blazing fire. When you shine like the sun you will be
complete."
211. Mary said, "The Supernal Light has not been seen in the world
before the Anointed brought it down. Now there is a seed of Light and
the fruition is forthcoming."
212. Mary said to her companions, "The ages and all that appears will
pass away, but the Aeon of Perfect Light will remain. It is eternal."
213. Mary said, "Look! You are a shadow in the Light. Cleave to the
Light and let the shadow pass away."
214. A woman asked Mary, "How can a woman be holy?" Mary said, "The
man who is holy knows he is no man, therefore it is the same for a
woman. Those who see male and female see only an appearance, for
inwardly there is neither female nor male. These appearances are like
shadows, and those who grasp at shadows and do not look to the Light
miss the mark of Truth."
And again, Mary said, "The Mother and the Bride and She-Who-Is-Wise
is within every woman, just as the Father and the Son are within
every man; the human being is holy when in possession of her or his
humanity."
215. Mary said, "Many are the wisdom treasuries that are hidden,
awaiting their discovery. If you court Wisdom she will give you her
dowry and all that is in her house will become yours."
216. Mary said, "Wisdom seeks true lovers and goes to those who seek
her. No one will lack Wisdom if in their heart they yearn for her."
217. Mary said, "Many are the false lights. If the True Light had not
come and Grace did not open the way, no one would have escaped
deception."
218. Mary said to her disciples, "Here something precious is revealed
by concealing it, but in the World-To-Come it will be revealed by
revealing it. Look and see!"
219. Mary said, "Many are they who wander aimless and are bound to
missing the mark. It is unbecoming for a human being to live without
purpose. For this reason the Lord has taught us to live in a
purposeful way and given us an aim, and he is our purpose and our
aim – the Risen One."
220. Mary said, "It may be that a fool is wiser than an intelligent
person, for the fool is more likely to know that whatever
intelligence arises comes from God."
221. Mary said, "It is, indeed, difficult for a wealthy person to
enter into the kingdom of heaven, for the wealthy are like the
archons, believing they have created on their own and that the power
is their own though it is not. Yet, the wealthy person who serves the
kingdom with their wealth shall be rich in the kingdom of heaven."
222. Mary said, "Every blessing is received inwardly. If one receives
an apostle and is blessed, one receives the blessings of an apostle.
If one receives a prophet or a righteous person and is blessed, then
one receives the blessing of the prophet or righteous person. And so
it is with every blessing one may receive, one receives inwardly and
one is received."
223. Mary said, "Many say that they have received the Anointed, but
one cannot receive unless one is received. Therefore, seek to be
received to that you might receive and give, and Grace will
accomplish everything within you."
224. Mary taught her disciples, saying, "Be certain to acquire your
light-image so that you might be seen in the Living Father and your
name may appear in the Book of Life."
225. Mary said, "Yahweh is passing by, therefore Yahweh is seen.
Otherwise no one would ever see the Great Spirit."
226. Mary said, "This world is a shadow of the World of Truth, and
yet there is a great blessing in it. Here there is time to recognize
error from truth and to enact the truth, as though a pause to change
your heart and mind. But when death comes and the soul departs the
body nothing can be changed."
227. Mary said to her chosen ones, "In the Supernal Realm it is clear
who has come into being and who is unbecoming, for the images of the
elect shine brightly but the beasts of the field do not appear."
228. Mary said, "Souls exchange sparks with one another and we carry
sparks of one another and are connected in this way. Be certain to
give to everyone what is theirs and to receive what is yours so that
all are complete."
229. Mary said, "Nothing here shall remain. See that you also go your
way."
230. Mary said to her companions, "Do you have money?" They said to
her, "Yes, we have money." She said to them, "Good! Be certain to pay
the ransom and by a staff for the journey."
231. Mary spoke, and she said, "When you pray let your heart abide in
its place, and if it runs, let it return to its abode, which is the
Risen Savior."
232. Mary said, "If you become empty the Lord will give himself to
you in full; if you loose yourself, you will acquire the Holy Spirit."
233. Mary said, "Angels appear in the world along with human beings,
but the Perfect Human Being is superior to all angels. Have you not
hear of Enoch who walked with Yahweh and was taken up in divine
rapture? Every true initiate set above the angels, because she or he
has knowledge of the Name of God."
234. Mary said, "Today you are lower than the angels, though some
among you are equal to them. When you are complete you will be above
them."
235. Mary said, "Time is nothing, eternity is everything. Be clear
about this!"
236. Mary said, "Who has ever heard of a pregnant mother unwilling to
give birth in her time? You also be willing to give birth to your
soul when called out of the body. For you body is the Virgin Mother
giving birth to your soul in the Eternal Abode."
237. Mary was speaking, and she said, "Words have no meaning apart
from the Mother Spirit, therefore to know her is meaningful. Words
have meaning to the extent that they invoke knowledge of her, but she
is known only in silence."
238. Mary said, "Be conscious of your speech, for among human beings
it is the greatest blessing and greatest curse. It binds and it
liberates. Be liberating with your speaking and beware not to bind
yourself and others."
239. Mary said, "There is a mystery to be played out through manhood
and womanhood, yet, truly I tell you, it is concealed by male and
female."
240. Mary said, "The Lord of Initiation has passed by. See that you
receive initiation and bring it to fullness."
241. Mary said, "What appears divided has never been separated, yet
division appears for the sake of love and the perfection of will, so
that in unification a greater joy should come to pass. If there is
sorrow it shall pass away like the shadows of night on the Day of Be-
With-Us."
242. Mary said, "The body is a corpse and yet it lives for a while.
While it is alive it is the temple of a great presence, for your soul
is in it and the Anointed indwells your soul."
243. Mary said, "The essence of the Light is transparent, it is the
Holy Virgin; when you become transparent you will be united with her
and attain the perfection of your freedom."
244. Mary said, "The true elements are hidden by the visible, so also
are the true rites of the Gospel hidden by the visible. Look to see
what is hidden and you will understand."
245. Mary said, "When the circle is engraved and the fire is lit and
blazing, invoking the name of the Lord and the shinning ones, offer
everything into the holy fire as into the Shekinah of God."
246. Mary said. "Many seek the resurrection of the flesh, but the
superior resurrection is of the Spirit and is eternal. Seek always
that which is superior."
247. Mary said, "If the body is to be raised up, then the body must
be transformed; and so it is with everything below. But when things
below are transformed they are no longer of the world, though they
may appear in it, and when they disappear they will not appear again."
248. Mary said, "The Lord has called us to gather in, not to scatter
and disperse."
249. Mary said to her companions, "In the Anointed Eve and Lilith are
redeemed, for the Logos entered for the sake of the salvation of
Sophia, and she is lifted up in him to her proper abode. Lilith is
the power of Eve and Eve is the perfection of Lilith so that joined
they are True Womanhood. Eve united in herself and Adam and Eve
united in one another is the image of the Second Adam that appears in
the bridal chamber. Therefore, manhood and womanhood are perfected
and made complete in one another – so it was ordained from the
beginning and so it shall be in the end."
250. Mary said, "Saint and sinner are appearances, but the Truth and
Light is beyond. In the Anointed there is neither saint nor sinner,
but only the righteous one. Therefore do what is right according to
the soul of light in you, and you will be counted among the righteous
and elect. We will meet again in the Supernal Abode on the Day of Be-
With-Us."
This is the Gospel of the Sophia of Ain Sof (One-Without-End), for
there is no end to the divine revelation transpiring through the Holy
Bride. Whatever might be spoken or written, there is always much more
to be received. To all who listen and hear in the Spirit she
continues to speak, for the Gospel of Sophia will only be complete at
the time of the Second Coming – the Reception of the Bride and Age of
the Mother Spirit. Amen.
The Gospel of Miryai
The Gospel of Mary
In accounts of the life of Miryai we hear of the great controversy
that existed over the conversion of Miryai and how this event was
instrumental in stirring up the Jews to have Yeshu crucified and his
followers persecuted and killed. We also learn that many Nazoreans
were not able to endure the persecution and follow Miryai after
Yeshu's demise. Part of the problem may have been due to Miryai's
unsavory past, or her quick rise to the top of the Nazorean world at
such a young age. Many may have also blamed her for the death of
Yeshu, since it was because of her that the Jews swore to crucify
him. But more probably, Miryai encountered opposition among some
because she began teaching novel ideas that they found problematic,
ideas that she was receiving through continual communion with Yeshu
after his death. She no doubt would have been more acceptable to some
if she had remained but a symbol of Yeshu's love for humanity, but
Miryai was far more than a symbol. We see an example of this in the
Gospel of Miryai. This Gospel is part of the Papyrus Berolinensis
8502 which was acquired by a German scholar, Dr. Carl Reinhardt, in
Cairo in 1896. It contains Coptic editions of three very important
Gnostic texts: the Apocryphon of John, the Sophia of Jesus Christ,
and the Gospel of Mary. The first two are also found in the Nag, but
not the third. Within this Gospel of Mary (Miryai) we learn more
about Miryai and her relations with the risen Yeshu and her fellow
disciples. The text is rather short so we will quote it in its
entirety:
"Will matter then be [destroyed] or not?" The Savior said, "All
natures, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another,
and they will be resolved into their own roots. For the nature of the
matter is resolved into the (roots) of its nature alone. He who has
ears to hear, let him hear." Peter said to Him, "Since you have
explained everything to us, tell us this also: What is the sin of the
world?" The Savoir said, "There is no sin, but it is you who make sin
when you do the things that are like the nature of adultery, which is
called 'sin'. That is why the Good came into your midst, to the
essence of every nature, in order to restore it to its root." Then He
continued and said, "That is why you [become sick] and die, for …of
the one who {….He who] understands, let him understand. Matter gave
birth to a passion that has no equal, which proceeded from
(something) contrary to nature. Then there arise a disturbance in the
whole body. That is why I said to you, 'Be of good courage', and if
you are discouraged (be) encouraged in the presence of the different
forms of nature. He, who has ears to hear, let him hear." When the
blessed one had said this, He greeted them all, saying, "Peace be
with you. Receive my peace to yourselves. Beware that no one lead you
astray, saying, 'Lo here!' or 'Lo there!' for the Son of Man is
within you. Follow after Him! Those who seek Him will find Him. Go
then and preach the gospel of the kingdom. Do not lay down any rules
beyond what I appointed for you, and do not give a law like the
lawgiver lest you be constrained by it." When He said this, He
departed. But they were grieved. They wept greatly, saying, "How
shall we go to the gentiles and preach the gospel of the kingdom of
the Son of Man? If they did not spare him, how will they spare us?"
Then Miryai stood up, greeted them all, and said to her brethren, "Do
not weep and do not grieve nor be irresolute, for His grace will be
entirely with you and will protect you. But rather let us praise His
greatness, for He has prepared us and made us into men." When Miryai
said this, she turned their hearts to the Good, and they began to
discuss the words of the [Savior].
Peter said to Miryai, "Sister, we know that the Savior loved you more
than the rest of women. Tell us the words of the Savior which you
remember - which you know (but) we do not, nor have we heard them."
Miryai answered and said, "What is hidden from you I will proclaim to
you." And she began to speak to them these words: "I," she said, "I
saw the Lord in a vision and I said to him, 'Lord, I saw you today in
a vision.' He answered and said to me, 'Blessed are you that you did
not waver at the sight of me. For where the mind is, there is the
treasure.' I said to him, 'Lord, how does he who sees the vision see
it through the soul or through the spirit?' The Savior answered and
said, 'He does not see through the soul nor through the spirit, but
the mind which [is] between the two - that is [what] sees the vision
and it is ….it. And desire that, 'I did not see you descending, but
now I see you ascending. Why do you lie, since you belong to me?' The
soul answered and said, 'I saw you. You did not see me nor recognize
me. I served you as a garment, and you did not know me.' When it had
said this, it went away rejoicing greatly. "Again it came to the
third power, which is called ignorance. It (the power) questioned the
soul saying, 'Where are you going? In wickedness are you bound. But
you are bound; do not judge!' And the soul said, 'Why do you judge me
although I have not judged? I was bound though I have not bound. I
was not recognized. But I have recognized that the All is being
dissolved, both the earthly (things) and the heavenly'. When the soul
had overcome the third power, it went upwards and saw the fourth
power, (which) took seven forms. The first form is darkness, the
second desire, the third ignorance, the fourth is the excitement of
death, the fifth is the kingdom of the flesh, the sixth is the
foolish wisdom of flesh, the seventh is the wrathful wisdom. These
are the seven [powers] of wrath. They ask the soul, "Whence do you
come, slayer of men, or where are you going, conqueror of space?" The
soul answered and said, "What binds me has been slain, and what
surrounds me has been overcome, and my desire has been ended and
ignorance has died. In a [world] I was released from a world, [and]
in a type from a heavenly type, and (from) the fetter of oblivion
which is transient. From this time on will I attain to the rest of
the time, of the season, of the aeon, in silence."
When Miryai had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this
point that the Savior had spoken with her. But Andrew answered and
said to the brethren, "Say what you (wish to) say about what she has
said. I at least do not believe that the Savior said this. For
certainly these teachings are strange ideas." Peter answered and
spoke concerning these same things. He questioned them about the
Savior: "Did He really speak with a woman without our knowledge (and)
not openly? Are we to turn about and all listen to her? Did He prefer
her to us?"
Then Miryai wept and said to Peter, "My brother Peter, what do you
think? Do you think that I thought this up myself in my heart, or
that I am lying about the Savior? Levi answered and said to
Peter, "Peter, you have always been hot - tempered. Now I see you
contending against the woman like the adversaries. But if the Savior
made her worthy, who are you indeed to reject her? Surely the Savior
knows her very well. That is why He loved her more than us. Rather
let us be ashamed and put on the perfect man and acquire him for
ourselves as He commanded us, and preach the gospel, not laying down
any other rule or other law beyond what the Savior said." When… and
they began to go forth [to] proclaim and to preach."
It is noteworthy that it is Miryai that rallies the discouraged
disciples that are daunted by the tasks laid out for them by their
Master. She says: "Do not weep and do not grieve nor be unsure, for
His grace will be entirely with you and will protect you. But rather
let us praise His greatness, for He has prepared us and made us into
men." She groups herself as a man, for in Gnostic parlance she and
her male counterparts left the world of the female and entered the
world of the male when they renounced the world and became
renunciants. In this "male world" Miryai outshines her companions, as
evidenced by her outspoken lead in the Pistis Sophia codex. It is not
simply this one time when Miryai becomes the leader of the apostles.
Continually she will take the lead, earning for herself the
title "Apostle of the Apostles."[1] In western Pauline literature, like the New Testament,
Mary Magdalene's role fades as Peter and Paul take prominence. But in
truer accounts preserved within the true lineage, Miryai continues to
outshine her fellows. We will explore more of these in later
chapters. In this particular account, however, after Miryai
encourages the disciples toward the good, Peter ventures to solicit
from Miryai some of the hidden gnosis that he is sure she knows but
they do not. Miryai responds by saying: "What is hidden from you I
will proclaim to you." These are powerful words for a young girl to
be speaking to such an elect crowd. She is confidently taking the
roll of teacher and master to those who will one day be considered
the founders of the world's largest religion. But it is not Peter and
Paul that deserve this title, but Miryai the Apostle of the other
Apostles.
In this Gospel of Mary we have an account of a heavenly ascent of the
soul after death. This is Miryai teaching the other disciples about
the fundamental postulate of their faith – the survival of the spirit
(Nishimta) and the soul (ruha) after the death of the body, and of
its ascent through the hostile heavens of the seven archons. Much of
the priestly work of Yeshu and Miryai revolved around preparing and
assisting the spirit and soul of the departed to pass through the
purgatorial realms that surround the earth, and much of Miryai's
instruction would revolve around what must be accomplished so that
the powers that stand at the various watchtowers of the seven lower
heavens would not impede the soul in its ascent to Abathur of the
Scales. Miryai teaches that the soul must say to the hostile powers:
"What binds me has been slain, and what surrounds me has been
overcome, and my desire has been ended and ignorance has died. In a
[world] I was released from a world, [and] in a type from a heavenly
type, and (from) the fetter of oblivion which is transient. From this
time on will I attain to the rest of the time, of the season, of the
aeon, in silence."
The binding but slain force is the physical body, the stinking stump
and bag of pus so abhorred by Gnostics. The flesh surrounded the soul
and spirit but was overcome, subdued, and brought into submission
before the light filled spirit. The desires of the flesh were
subordinated to the desires of the spirit, and all instinctual urges
were brought under the auspice of reason and self control. Worldly
desires were eliminated and ignorance slain. Miryai taught that
ignorance could be slain only by the gaining of Gnosis, insight and
understanding that resulted from a life well spent studying sacred
scrolls, meditating, pondering and praying for additional light and
insight from heavenly sources. She tells us that worldliness must be
overcome while one lives in the world. Other religions oft speak of
perfection as a gift given one with faith after they die. In Gnostic
teachings perfection must be achieved here and now. There is no
putting it off to a distant day or hoping to receive it as a boon for
blind faith. This here and now redemption from ignorance and vice was
helped by the practice of ceremonial rituals, by types, or types and
images. These are also spoken of in the Gospel of Philip where it
says: "Truth did not come into the world naked, but it came in types
and images." These assist the soul and spirit to rise above the
reverberation of darkness that has clung to the souls for aeons. The
encroaching taint of darkness and fetters of oblivion from previous
heavenly descents is reversed by the dye of light hidden in the
Mysteries (Razia) of Yeshu given under the hand of Miryai. With the
utterance of this formula, sealing a well lived life or purity, the
soul and spirit unite and ascend up and out of the hostile lower
universe, gaining freedom and rest from the viscitudes of samsaric
time. The term "in silence" refers to rest within the cosmic womb of
the Great Goddess called Silence (Dmuta).
We encounter a bit of prejudice from Peter and his brother after
Miryai expounds her vision. Andrew confesses that the ideas are
strange to him and Peter says: "Did He really speak with a woman
without our knowledge (and) not openly? Are we to turn about and all
listen to her? Did He prefer her to us?" The answer to all these
questions is "yes"! Yeshu did really teach Miryai privately, since
only she could comprehend the depth of his Gnosis. He did prefer
her, and the others were obliged to turn and follow her for she
indeed sat at the source of the Naziruthian stream of Gnosis. This
momentary lapse of Peter did not last long, although it would reoccur
from time to time. After Miryai wept a bit, Levi answered and said to
Peter: "Peter, you have always been hot - tempered. Now I see you
contending against the woman like the adversaries. But if the Savior
made her worthy, who are you indeed to reject her? Surely the Savior
knows her very well. That is why He loved her more than us." After
successfully rebuking the Jewish prejudice of Peter and his brother,
Levi adds: "Rather let us be ashamed and put on the perfect man and
acquire him for ourselves as He commanded us, and preach the gospel,
not laying down any other rule or other law beyond what the Savior
said." The perfect man is Adakias, the hidden Adam, that the elect
clothe themselves with. This is the Column of Glory, the Hidden Imam,
that archetype of perfection obtained by those who perfect themselves
through type and image. The tone of Miryai's gospel permeates all
Gnostic accounts of her and her relationship to Yeshu and to the
other disciples. She is everywhere shown as one who receives truth
and enlightenment in her own right, often to the dismay of more
conservative disciples.
