The Gospel of Mary Magdalene

With Gregorian Chant from the Cathedral of Chartres, build
on her Gospel, sung by Patricia van Oosten

'The eye of the vision
is within the soul.
Let those who have the vision
see.

Those that would listen,
let them hear.
For those that listen
will hear the breath of
Silence'.
And then the Lord said:

'Let us return
to our true nature.'

'And I say unto you:
You can open your heart to Love.
Love has no bounds.
Love must be unfettered on all
levels.

Love does not cry: murder,
as this darkens our very soul.

How can we kill that which we love?

Love does not cry: hate,
for how can we hate,
when to do so we would hate
ourselves in the same process?’

'Love does not cry: Greed!;
How can we take more than
that which is the measure of
our capacity?

Love does not fear.

How can we fear? For we know
what we fear is not real.

Love does not lust.

How can we grasp after what
we have already?’

'Love does not envy;
Love knows we have all.

Love does not steal, as this
would take away the very
heart of our giving, which is
Love.

Love does not cry:
Judgement!;

Love is not bound to scales of
more or less.
It is the self-sustainer of its
own balance.

How can we judge, lest we be
judged?’

'Love does not blame.
To be blameless is the true gift.

Love does not discriminate
as discrimination is not the
truth.

Love does not lie.
This is just fear to hide behind.

Love transcends 'All'.

The Breath of life is Love.’

'All that is composed is of
the elements, and it is your
attachment to this structure
that has no permanence.

Attachment to your corrupt
nature is that which binds
you to matter and to illusion
and suffering.

Attachment to matter is a
force to be reckoned with!

Those who have ears, let
them hear.'

Mary then questioned her Master,
saying: 'Describe to us the nature of
matter. What is matter? Is it eternal?
Or, at the end of an aeon, will it be
destroyed?'

And the Lord replied:

'That which is born and that which
is created within the elements of
nature are woven within and related
to one another.

All that is composed shall be
decomposed and will return to its
origins. Matter returns to the
principle that sent it forth, as
everything returns to its roots.
Those who have ears, let them hear.'

Peter said, 'You have taught us of the
elements of life and matter, and of how all
the world is woven from them. Tell us, what
is the sin of the world, that it should die?'

The Lord answered, 'Matter has no sin. Sin
has no real existence; it is you yourselves
who create it when, as in the nature of
adultery, you are unfaithful to your true
nature and act within the habit of your
corrupt nature.

That is why the gift of the Christ Light was
put into your heart, and why I came into
your midst, to restore every soul to its
Source.'

The Lord continued, 'That is why you
become sick, and why you die; it is the result
of your actions, which takes you away from
your Source.

Those that would listen, let them hear!

Matter gave birth to a passion that has no
equal, a passion for itself, which is contrary
to Divine nature.

Matter caused powerful passions to enter
into you, forces which arise from the
attraction of opposites (duality).

Thus are you pulled apart, and a
disharmony arises to disturb unity
throughout its whole body.

This is why I tell you, be at one; be in
harmony, one with another.

If your courage fails you and you feel out of
sorts, go out into nature, and take heart
from its manifestations of beauty and
harmony with the Divine nature.

Those who have ears, let them hear!’

When the Blessed One had said these
things, He greeted them all, saying: 'Peace
be unto you, receive my peace into
yourselves. Allow no one to lead you astray
by saying, Lo, he is here! or, Lo, he is there!

For my truth is within you; It is
within your heart that the Son of
God dwells.

And I tell you, I live within all.

If you seek the Son of God, follow
after Him to your innermost
wherein He dwells.

Go within; those who seek Him
will find Him.

Walk forth, and teach the truth -
the Gospel of the Kingdom.’

'Do not impose any rules beyond what I
appointed you, and take care not to lay down a
law like the lawgiver, lest you be ensnared in its
constraints and lose your freedom.'

When the Lord had said these words, He
departed. The disciples grieved, they sorrowed
and shed tears, saying: 'How can we go amongst
the Gentiles and announce the Gospel of the
Kingdom of the Son of God? If they would not
spare our Lord, they will assuredly not spare us!'

Then Mary arose; embraced each one, and
began to speak words of comfort to her
brethren, saying gently:

'Take heart! He will be with you always. Do not
remain in sorrow or in doubt, for our Lord will
guide and protect you. Instead, let us praise his
magnitude; he has prepared us for what lies
ahead and is calling upon us to become fully
human.'

In saying this, Mary lifted their hearts towards
the good, and they began to discuss the
teachings of Jesus.

I will now reveal to you that which has
not yet been made known to you.

I had a vision of our Lord, and I said
unto him, 'Lord, I see you now in a
vision.’ And he said unto me:

'Mary, you are blessed, for my
appearance does not make you afraid.

Where the nous (awareness in itself) is,
there lies the treasure.'

I replied to him, 'Lord, when someone
meets you in a vision, is it through our
soul that we are able to see you, or is it
through our spirit?'

And the Lord answered

'Mary, it is neither. But it is the nous
between the two which sees the vision,
and it is this which makes us fully
human.’

When we become fully human, we
become one whole body of light, the
'One' breath.

When we join that 'One' breath we
become whole; we become 'at-one'.

The breath conjoins life-death-life at
the mid-point which is the heart, called
the noon of our being (Awareness
itself). This is where the nous lies.

We are all aspects of life, of 'One' being,
of 'One' whole.

All aspects of life have to be overcome.
It is true that everything in our physical
structure is composed, and will
decompose.

But we can overcome this process.

All that is composed is of the
elements, and our attachment is to
this structure. Dissociate your soul
from matter! (But don’t deny it, just
don’t confuse your Self with it).

Once the two are apart the ascent
can begin. The awareness of breath
(life) sustains the soul and gives it
life, and it is this which detaches
you from matter.

It is through the nous (awareness
itself) that we see, for it is the eye of
the vision within the soul. And it is
with the vision of the nous that we
overcome the without, within
(duality of all).'

We can overcome the four
elements of our attachment to
matter, illusion and suffering, and
all the oppressions of the soul.'

And I listened to my Master, and I
felt my soul ascending.

And as the soul ascended to the
first element (earth), the soul
asked:

'Why are we afraid of death? For
death itself is not fearful. It is the
attachment of (or identification
with) our body that causes fear to
arise.

And Fear replied: 'Why are you
afraid of the darkness?’

And the soul answered: 'Fear, why
do you hide in the darkness?
I have known you, and your power,
but it is you who are afraid.'

And the soul left with grace and
continued to the second element
(Water).

On reaching the second element,
Desire was taken aback at the
soul's arrival, having neither seen
it nor expected it.

And Desire said: “I did not see you
descend, but I see you now, 'ascending'.
Why do you pretend to ascend? Why do
you lie, when you know you are mine?”

And the soul replied: 'I saw you, but you
did not recognise me. Nor did you see me,
because your power urged me to give you a
body, which you thought was yours.

I served you as a garment and you never
knew it was me (Soul). You never felt me,
and now that I have reclaimed myself, you
are without the body I gave you, and you
cannot recognise me.'

When this was said, the soul left, rejoicing
greatly.

When the soul entered the third element,
which was Ignorance, Ignorance
questioned the soul:

'Where do you think you are going,
you who are dominated by wicked
inclinations? What are you thinking?
How can you possibly want to leave
me? Indeed, you have no
discrimination at all, and you are
clearly out of your mind.'

The soul answered: 'Why do you
judge me, as I have not passed
judgement on you? I have been
oppressed, but I myself do not
oppress. I have not been recognised,
but I myself recognise that all things
which are composed shall be
decomposed, on earth and in heaven;
not only earthly structures, but also
the things of the psyche (air). You
may think you are eternal, but you
are not.’
On hearing this, Ignorance was slain.

Freed from the third element, the soul
ascended to the fourth element, the fourth
is Fear of Death; expressed in anger, the
unenlightened element of Fire.

The fifth is the Power of the Flesh; which
has seven manifestations. The first is
Darkness; the second is Desire; the third is
Ignorance the sixth is Foolish (impure or
guileful) Wisdom; the seventh is Self-
righteous Materialism.

These are the seven powers of wrath, And
they tried to overcome the soul with
questions so that it might lose its footing.

'Where have you come from, Murderer?’
and 'Where are you going, Slayer of Space?’

But the soul, poised in radiance, answered
joyfully: “'That which bound me has been
slain. That which enveloped me has
vanished. My desires are no more, and I
have overcome the fetters of my ignorance.

In an age of Darkness I escaped the
world with the aid of the supernal
world.

My emotional attachment to
matter, which determined my
limitations, was erased by virtue of
a higher design.

I was released from the fetter of
Ignorance which seems eternal, but
is only transient.

Henceforth I am centred in Repose,
and until matter has run its course
my sanctuary will be encompassed
in unassailable peace.

Oblivion:

I go now into Silence.’

Having said this, Mary fel silent, for she
had given the secret teaching of her
Lord.

Andrew then began to speak, saying:
'You can say what you like about what
she has said; I, for one, do not believe a
word of it. I cannot believe that the
Saviour would speak of such strange
notions!’

Peter joined in his refutation, saying in
anger: It is not possible that the Lord
spoke of these things in this manner
with a woman, saying nothing of them
to us! Are we then to humble ourselves
before a woman, to turn about and all
listen to her? Are we asked to believe
that he really preferred her to us?’

At this, Mary wept and said to Peter:
My brother Peter, what can you be
thinking? Why do you not believe
the words of our Lord? Do you really
think that this is all my own fancy, or
that I would lie about the Saviour?'

At this point, Levi rebuked Peter,
saying: 'Peter, you have always been
hot-headed. And now we see you
doubting a woman as worthy as
Mary, just as our adversaries would
do. If our Lord held Mary in high
esteem, who are you to question her
integrity and reject her words?

We all know our Lord loved Mary in
a way that He loved no other.

Therefore let us make amends.
Let us do as our Lord has taught.
Let us express brotherhood one to
another, and to all, and become
fully human so that the Saviour
can flourish in us.

Let us grow according to his
teachings, and walk abroad to
spread the gospel, without laying
down any rules and laws other
than the Law of Christ. Let us
separate as he commanded us,
and preach his truth.'

And when they heard his words,
they began to go forth to proclaim
and to preach.

Mary whom Jesus called ‘The
Magdalene’ (the enlightened
one) was secretely called
‘Mystic Rose’, because her
Evangely became forbidden.

The book was known as ‘the
Book of Love’ and inspired
many esoteric Christians
during ages. She was the
inspiration behind
Glastonbury, Chartes, the
Cartares, the Rosecroix etc.

She has grown the fruit of
Jesus gift by preserving his
real teachings for those who
can hear now.

It is my hope that also
Christian inspired people find
this inner teaching. That you
practice on a daily base to
make yourself loosened from
the unenlightened qualities of
the elements with what you
confuse yourself. And that by
releasing these, the
Christmind may flourish in
you and take over.
