Wisdom and Mary of Magdala

 

Wisdom, who is called barren is the mother of the angels.

 

........The companion of the savior is Mary of Magdala. The savior loved her more then all the disciples.,and he kissed her often on the mouth.

The other (disciples) said to him, "Why do you love her more then all of us?"

The savior answered and said to them, "Why do I not love you like her?"

 

........IF a blind person and one who can see are both in darkness, they are the same.

When the light comes, one who can see will see the light, and the blind  person will stay in darkness"

 

 

 

 

 

This fact is evident in many of the Gnostics Texts and scrolls, (see Mary of Magdala's own Gospel on a seperate thread), as well as the Gospel of Thomas in which the disciples (apostles) were critical of Mary.  They were also jealous of her rank, a woman among men.

 

What Jesus said to them, in response to their question about this, is that Mary "had the wisdom within her" to receive the Light (his gnosis)....but   those who are still in darkness, will stay in darkness as the light doesn't penetrate to them.

 

He knew Mary was "capable" of understanding his role as well as the role he was to play.

 

(you can see this easily in the Gospel of Mary) she was not only capable but very deep and knowledgeable.

 

She easily understood what he conveyed to her in her visions after his death, and explained this to the disciples.

 

Edgar Cayce reveals , when he was asked about Mary, that Jesus never married, as the worldly would. However, Cayce maintains, that IF he had married, it would have been to Mary.

But he never did.

 

It wasn't part of this lifetime for him to marry.

 

 

note: (since it's the last saying, it is suggested that it may have been aded to the original collection later on)

 

This Gospel, goes back historically to probably the same time period or earlier then the other 4 Gospels, the Synoptic gospels, and actually is said to be older possibly even the very first one recorded.

HERE you can see the Wisdom of Mary, as Jesus perceived her ability to be:

 

 

114. Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life."

Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."

There are various sayings of Jesus also in the gospel of thomas, that are reminiscent of this one in Philip....from Philip's gospel above.

 

What I think it's saying, is that as the Buddha cautioned,

don't be attached!!

 

For what you are attached to, "will strangle you", in it's attachments.  Much like the Story by Charles Dickens about Ebineezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley.

you create (by attachments), your own chain.

 

the "stranglehold" is a figure of speech, I don't believe there are demons other then your  own, attachments and mind which you must come face to face with after you die.

 

 

 

 

 

 

          "The World, the Ressurection (meaning Reincarnation)

                           and the Middle"

 

Edgar Cayce said that 2,000 yrs. ago, when the Gnostics spoke o fhte Ressurection they were referring to Reincarnational lives.

 

He said the Catholic Church early fathers, took the entire concept and words surrounding Reincarnaton and dumped it.....changed it, into something it wasn't meant to represent. (such as the Resurrection of a body) 

 

 

"A person is either in this world or in the resurrection - or in the middle place"

May I not be found there!  In this world there is good and evil, but the good of the world is not really good and the evil of the world is not really evil.

 

After this world, there is evil that is really evil; this is called the middle.

 

The middle is death.  As long as we are in this world, we should acquire resurrection (reincarnation), so that when we take off the flesh, we may be found in rest and not wander in the middle.

For many go astray on the way.

 

 

                             Will and Action

 

 

                    The Inner and the Outer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                          Creation through a Mistake

 

 

The creator wanted to make it incorruptible and immortal but he failed and did not get what he hoped for.  For the world is not incorruptible and the creator of the world is not incorruptible.

Things are not incorruptible, but offspring are.

Nothing can receive incorruptibility unless it is an offspring.

And whatever cannot receive certainly cannot give.

okay, after sleeping on this, I think I "might" have a kind of interpretation.......I'll give it a try.

 

 

............The world and the creator of the world, is "corruptible" and not "incorruptible" because the creation of this plane of awareness was created by all of us, "en masse", i.e. the Collective unconscious.

 

The reason he says the "offspring" CAN receive (through our own actions), an "Incorrputible state" is because we all  have within us

a piece of "God", or "All that Is" of the  highest realm, once we reach that realm ....it's where all is perfected (in and OF itself), it's root.

 

So, to become perfected, we (humanity), in the corruptible vein (both the world and the mindset that created this world) must perfect ourselves, or as Jesus warned,

 

"Be PERFECT, even as your father in heaven is perfect"

 

THEN, we would have (en masse), "received as inheritors of this world we created, a form of "incorruptibility" and become worthwhile as co=creators as well as companions to the Perfected.

 

Yep,- that's it!!

 

 

 

 

---

For the rest of it, Edgar Cayces books (some of them) explain it far better then I can. But suffice it to say, that each soul, (the Individuality of the Soul, Cayce called it).......that part that is "Before the Throne always" of "Grace , Beauty and Light", or All that IS.,

is andrygenous. Of no particular gender.

 

BUT, this is a dual world, we created in order to have a mindset that tests us, i.e. good vs evil.

We "use" this mindset and world, in the dual sense every day.

Should I ? Shouldn't I?   should I do the right thing , or make my ego satisfied for another day, by doing what I KNOW is wrong, in the end.

 

These contrasts come about because of being in a self-created (en masse) collective world that contrasts for a purpose.

 

To do this, we become male & female just like all the animals who inhabited this world before any of us (souls) came here.

 

When we return, (to our root) or from whence we came, we are not a sex or a gender.

We are "Whole".

 

Some souls (as Ralph's writings explained to you), are "Whole" within themsevles carrying all they need,(both contrasts), some are not but appear here in two sexes. It matters not, what matters is that you take from the experience, the whole purpose /Ideal of WHY you entered this time.

 

Ralph suggested once to me, that perhaps, it's more odd for souls to split into two, and you have to have enough "time", or experience in this plane in order to achieve this.....kind of like paying your dues?

 

The reason why, is not to be Better then, but rather to achieve more faster (two working on it, rather then one) in the human form.

 

BUT, to have this chance, requires the soul to be further ahead, (so to speak), it's kind of a gift then, that experienced souls are given.

 

None of our 3 children, are split souls, each has within themselves, BOTH ying/yang, or they are "whole" within themselves.

 

 

Background texts, of "Genderless" Souls:

 

And some of the Sadducees,
who deny there is a resurrection,
approaching questioned him saying, "Teacher,
Moses wrote for us that
if someone's brother dies having a wife,
and he is childless, his brother should take the wife
and raise up seed for his brother.
Now there were seven brothers;
and the first having taken a wife died childless;
and the second and the third took her,
and similarly also the seven did not leave children and died.
Finally the woman died too.
The woman then, in the resurrection
whose wife does she become?
For the seven had her as a wife?"

And Jesus told them,
"The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
but those considered worthy of attaining that age
and the resurrection (reincarnation)  of the dead
neither marry nor are given in marriage;
for they can no longer die, (after perfected)
for they are equal to angels
and they are sons of God beings sons of the resurrection.
