The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene)Chapter 4:(Pages 1 to 6 of the manuscript, containing chapters 1 - 3, are lost. The extant text starts on page 7...)
. . .
Will matter then be destroyed or not [
yes, it will]?
22.) The Savior said,
All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another [
shows the unavoidable connection between all things], and they will be resolved again into their own roots.
23.) For the nature of
matter is resolved into the roots of its own nature alone [
this is destiny, matter and flesh cannot escape their principal roots].
24.) He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
25) Peter said to him, Since you have explained everything to us, tell us this also: What is the sin of the world?
26.) The Savior said
There is no sin [
humans are born free of sin - especially children], but it is
you who make sin when you do the things that are like the nature of adultery [
humans create sin by harming each other],
which is called sin [
adultery is a sin because it usually harms the people involved - as there can be only one soul mate - were man and woman become one, by elevating their souls and spirits into a whole].
27.) That is why the Good came into your midst, to the essence of every nature in order to restore it to its root.
28.) Then He continued and said,
That is why you become sick and die [
sins have an impact also on the flesh, not only the soul and spirit], for you are deprived of the one who can heal you.
29.) He who has a mind to understand, let him understand.
30.)
Matter gave birth to a passion that has no equal [
that would be sexual desire],
which proceeded from something contrary to nature [
our true nature, not the evil flesh one that came about by error]. Then there
arises a disturbance in its whole body [
the “body” of the Father is the whole universe and beyond].
31.) That is why I said to you,
Be of good courage [
being good is the way], and if you are discouraged
be encouraged in the presence of the different forms of nature [
every evil has the potential for good].
32.) He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
33.) When the Blessed One had said this, He greeted them all,saying, Peace be with you.
Receive my peace unto yourselves [
find the - peaceful - light within you, through Christ’s example, and the power of the cross].
34.) Beware that no one lead you astray saying Lo here or lo there!
For the Son of Man is within you [
the flesh is the result of evil, but the soul is not]].
35.)
Follow after Him! [
the One and only - our Father in the Heavens]
36.)
Those who seek Him will find Him [
through gnosis - as it is their destiny to seek].
37.)
Go then and preach the gospel of the Kingdom [
this is the way of the elect - to spread the knowledge of the Father - so that others non-elect might be redeemed].
38.)
Do not lay down any rules [
the lawless man follows only the word of God] beyond what I appointed you,
and do not give a law like the lawgiver lest you be constrained by it [
this is extremely important - human laws deprive us from our Father’s few simple “rules” - leading us away from Him].
39.) When He said this He departed.
Chapter 5:1.) 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 [
Jews will not spare us?
2.) Then Mary 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 [
fulfilling each one’s destiny - which is known to the Father].
3.) But rather, let us praise His greatness,
for He has prepared us and made us into Men [
real men do not succumb to their female nature of the flesh - rather the opposite - women are transformed into men, in a natural unforced way, in order to rejoin with the Father].
4.) When Mary said this, she turned their hearts to the Good, and they began to discuss the words of the Savior.
5.) Peter said to Mary,
Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of woman [
Mary Magdalene was Jesus Christ’s companion, for He turned her into a “man”].
6.) Tell us the words of the Savior which you remember which you know, but we do not, nor have we heard them.
7.) Mary answered and said, What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you.
8.) 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,
9.) Blessed are you that you did not waver at the sight of Me.
For where the mind is there is the treasure [
subduing the mind=hermaphrodite attributes, to the soul=male, resulting in an all male unity].
10.) I said to Him, Lord, how does he who sees the vision see it, through the soul or through the spirit?
11.) The Savior answered and said, He does not see through the soul nor through the spirit,
but the mind that is between the two [
and can unite the two via knowledge of the Father] that is what sees the vision and it is [...]
(pages 11 - 14 are missing from the manuscript)
Chapter 8:. . . it.
10.) And desire said, I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending.
Why do you lie since you belong to me [
claimed the wicked one]?
11.) 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 [
wickedness cannot recognise pure good].
12.) When it said this, it (the soul) went away rejoicing greatly.
13.) Again it came to the
third power, which is called ignorance [
three, is the root of six and ultimately nine].
14.) The power questioned the soul, saying,
Where are you going [
from the 7th, up to the 9th Heaven]? In wickedness are you bound.
But you are bound [
thus need to break free]; do not judge!
15.) And the soul said, Why do you judge me, although I have not judged?
16.)
I was bound, though I have not bound [
bound by evil indeed, but the soul is pure good and does not bound].
17.) I was not recognized.
But I have recognized that the All is being dissolved, both the earthly things and the heavenly [
this is the great universal reset, fixing the primordial error].
18.) When the soul had overcome the third power,
it went upwards and saw the fourth power [
this is were the soul really fights], which took seven forms.
19.) 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 [
this the limits of the wisdom of evil],
the seventh is the wrathful wisdom [
upon achieving this power, everything to do with evil is destroyed]. These are the seven powers of wrath.
20.) They asked the soul, Whence do you come slayer of men, or where are you going,
conqueror of space [
not time - this is very fitting]?
21.) The soul answered and said,
What binds me has been slain [
the six powers above], and
what turns me about [
the error of the flesh] has been overcome,
22.) and my desire has been ended, and ignorance has died.
23.) In a aeon I was released from a world,
and in a Type from a type [
the error of evil type, from the Heavenly Father Type], and from the
fetter of oblivion which is transient [
the evil chains are transient, and are bound for destruction].
24.) From this time on will I attain to the rest of the time, of the season, of the aeon,
in silence [
The Father was silent, until evil came to be through His “error”, resulting in His Logos, but to silence He shall return].
Chapter 9:1.) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.
2.) 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 [
the knowledge of the truth comes in pieces, because it’s so difficult for the mind to grasp and comprehend, in a non-faulty manner].
3.) Peter answered and spoke concerning these same things.
4.) He questioned them about the Savior: Did He really speak privately with a woman and not openly to us? Are we to turn about and all listen to her?
Did He prefer her to us [
of course He did, a woman’s task is more difficult - to overcome her female nature and become a “man”]?
5.) Then Mary wept and said to Peter, My brother Peter, what do you think? Do you think that I have thought this up myself in my heart, or that I am lying about the Savior?
6.) Levi answered and said to Peter, Peter you have always been hot tempered.
7.)
Now I see you contending against the woman like the adversaries [
women require more love, affection and peace than men, for the odds are against them].
8.) But if the Savior made her worthy, who are you indeed to reject her? Surely the Savior knows her very well.
9.) That is why He loved her more than us. Rather let us be ashamed and put on the
perfect Man [
“rule” one - lawless, free of sin (causing harm to others), man], and separate as He commanded us and
preach the gospel [
“rule” two, those who have understanding, to help and share the word of the Father], not laying down any other rule or other law beyond what the Savior said.
10.) And when they heard this they began to go forth to proclaim and to preach.
