here, see there ... 'for the Son of God is in you. Follow him!
Those who seek Him will find Him too. Go and preach the gospel of the kingdom.
Do not put aside all the rules that I have communicated to you and do not give up any law, as the legislators do and thus restrict you. "
When He said this, he disappeared. But they were sad. They cried a lot and said:
“How should we go to the Gentiles and preach the kingdom of the Son of God? If you
Didn't spare him, why should you spare us? "
Then Mary Magdalene rose, greeted them all and said to her brothers: "Do not cry,
do not be sad or indecisive. For His grace will be perfect for us and will protect you. Better let us praise His greatness, for He prepared it for us and this made us human. ”As Mary said this, they turned their hearts for good and then they discussed the Savior's words.
Peter said to Mary, “Sister, we know that the Savior loved you more than any other woman. Tell us about the words of the Savior that you remember - that you know and we do not, or that we have never heard of. "
Maria replied and said:
“What is hidden from you, I will make known to you.” And she said to them the words: “I…”, she said, “I saw Christ in a vision and I said to him:
'Christ, I saw you in vision today.'
He replied and said:
'Be blessed for not hesitating when you saw me. Because where the spirit is, there is the hoard. '
I said to him:
'Christ, how does He see in a vision seen through the soul or through the spirit?'
Then the Savior answered and said:
'He sees neither through the soul nor the spirit, but through the mind which stands between these two - that is how one sees a vision.'
(The middle part of the original text is missing here.)
'I didn't see you descend, but now I see you ascend. So why are you lying because you are mine? '
The soul answered and said:
' I saw you. And you didn't see or recognize me. I once served you as a garment and you did not recognize me! '
When she (the Makes) had said that, she disappeared laughing (exulting):
Then it came down to the third power, which is ignorance.
She (the power) asked the soul: 'Where are you going? In wickedness you are banned, never judge! '
third ignorance, fourth fear of death, fifth the kingdom of the flesh,
the sixth, the foolish wisdom of the flesh, and the seventh, the angry wisdom.
The soul answered and said:
“What was once bound to me is now set free, and what surrounded me has now been overcome, and ignorance is conquered. In one world I was freed from the world, in a kind of heavenly form and from the fetters of oblivion that is ephemeral.
From now on I will intend for the rest of the time, the seasons, the eons, in silence. 'When Mary had spoken this, she fell in silence, for that was the moment when the Savior had spoken to her.
But Andrew answered and said to the disciples:
“Speak up, what do you think about what she just said? I will be the last to believe this is what the Savior said. This teaching is certainly a strange idea. "
Peter answered and spoke about the same things. He asked her about the savior:
“Was He really talking to a woman without our knowledge, and not in public? Shall we turn to her now and listen to her in the future? Did he prefer her to us? "
Then Mary wept and said to Peter:
“My brother Peter, what are you thinking? Do you think that I made all this up in my heart or that I am telling lies about our Savior? "
Levi (Matthew) answered and said to Peter:
“Peter, you have always been temperamental. Now I see you rearing up against this woman as if she were your opponent. Because if the Savior found them valuable, why would you want to refuse them?
Then they started to proclaim and preach ... (end)
Commentary Translator Stefan Malsi:
Part 1
"Is matter now being destroyed or not?"
The Savior said: “Everything natural, every form, all creatures exist in and with one another, and they dissolve again into what they were created from. Because the nature of matter can only dissolve back into its own roots.
He who has two ears let him hear. "
Well, for “Christians” and natural scientists there is no need to read on
but for those who have recognized that we really live "in the spirit of God",
the text begins with a completely logical introduction and curiosity is aroused.
This general otherness of the world view can only be understood if one has experienced
that on the way to God there are two levels of consciousness to be climbed
that completely change our own experience and understanding. Two states of consciousness cause two worlds of thought and thus also two worldviews. Incompatible but not irreconcilable!
Part 2
Peter said to him: " After you have explained everything to us, tell us this too:
What is the sin of the world. "
The Savior said:
“There is no sin. You create sin with the things you do, such as the nature of adultery, which can be called sin. That's why the good came into your midst
as the essence of every nature in order to bring it back to its roots. "
Then He went on and said: “This is why you get sick and die.
He who can understand, understand.
The matter gave birth to a passion (suffering?) That no one is equal and from something of nature Opposites arose . Because this is followed by a disorder of the whole body. This is also why I said, 'Be of good cheer!' When you are discouraged, be courageous in the presence of the various forms of nature. He who has ears hears. "
From the pure “passions” - today one would probably say instincts - injuries to the soul arise in human interaction. Here, Jesus correctly chooses adultery as an example, because it is not difficult to develop suffering in this world - especially male - attributed to sex drive. The injuries to the soul, however, disrupt the inner order and the outbreak of neurotically conditioned diseases is not far off. The “good” - today we would too light say - so it was mainly because of this that he came into the world to reverse this inevitable process of evolution and to heal both mind and body. This path is not entirely without effort and danger and so one can hear the encouragement of Jesus: 'Be of good cheer!' good use too!
part 3
When the Blessed One said this, He greeted them all and said:
"Peace be with you.
Receive my peace within you. Be careful that no one leads you astray by saying, 'Look here, look there ...' for the Son of God is in you.
Follow him!
Those who seek Him will find Him too. Go and preach the gospel of the kingdom.
Do not put aside all the rules that I have communicated to you and do not give up any law, as the legislators do and thus restrict you. "
There is no clearer way of expressing it! The Son of God, Christ, is to be found in us, nowhere else. Incidentally, Jesus does not mean himself, he is Jesus from Nazareth and not Christ, the Son of God. That was completely clear to the audience at the time, because this equation did not take place until much later in the course of the development of the “Christian religion”! “Stick to my words but don't create a new set of rules like the legislators do!” Is all he wanted to tell us, because nothing more is needed!
Part 4
Peter said to Mary:
“Sister, we know that the Savior loved you more than any other woman. Tell us about the words of the Savior that you remember - that you know and we do not, or that we have never heard of. "
Maria replied and said:
"What is hidden from you, I will reveal to you."
And she said to them the words:
“I…” she said, “I saw Christ in a vision and I said to him: 'Christ, I saw you in a vision today.'
He replied and said:
'Be blessed for not hesitating when you saw me. Because where the spirit is, there is the hoard. '
I said to him:
'Christ, how does He (one) see in a vision (which is) seen through the soul or through the Spirit?'
Then the Savior answered and said:
'He sees neither through the soul nor the spirit, but through the mind, which
between those two is - that's how you see a vision. '
Christ "explains" this to her with the words: "He sees neither through the soul nor the spirit, but through the intellect" whereby one instead of the words for a better understanding "Soul and spirit" probably "dream and inspiration" should set, because this kind of "visions" should have been largely alien to Jesus. But it is the understanding that guided Jesus through his life! His person did not need any visions, apart from his calling, he lived “in full authority”, thought through creation with his mind and made decisions according to his own free will.
Part 5
'I didn't see you descend, but now I see you ascend.
So why are you lying because you are mine? '
The soul answered and said:
' I saw you. And you didn't see or recognize me. I once served you as a garment and you did not recognize me! '
When she (the Power) had said this, she disappeared laughing (exulting):
Then it came down to the third power, which is ignorance.
She (the power) questioned the soul:
' Where are you going? In wickedness you are banned, never judge! '
And the soul said: '
Why are you judging me even though I haven't judged you? I was bound, but never bound. I was not recognized. But I have realized that wholeness will dissolve, both earthly things and heavenly things. '
When the soul had defeated the third power, it rose further and recognized the fourth power, which had seven forms.
The first form was darkness, the second desire, the third ignorance, the fourth the fear of death, the fifth the kingdom of the flesh, the sixth the foolish wisdom of the flesh, and the seventh the angry wisdom.
These are the seven powers of anger. ' They (the powers) question the soul: ' Where are you from, human murderer, or where are you going, conqueror of the world? "
The soul answered and said: “What was once bound to me is now set free, and what surrounded me has now been overcome, and ignorance is conquered. In one world I was freed from the world, in a kind of heavenly form and from the fetters of oblivion that is ephemeral. From now on I will intend in silence for the rest of the time, the seasons, the eons. '
Part 6
When Maria had said this, she fell in silence, for that was the moment when the Savior had spoken to her.
But Andrew answered and said to the disciples:
“Speak up, what do you think about what she just said? I will be the last to believe this is what the Savior said. This teaching is certainly a strange idea. "
Peter answered and spoke about the same things. He asked her about the savior:
“Was He really talking to a woman without our knowledge, and not in public? Shall we turn to her now and listen to her in the future? Did he prefer her to us? "
Then Mary wept and said to Peter:
“My brother Peter, what are you thinking? Do you think that I mean all of this in mine
Made up hearts or that I tell lies about our Savior? "
Levi (Matthew) answered and said to Peter:
“Peter, you have always been temperamental. Now I see you rearing up against this woman as if she were your opponent.
Because if the Savior found them valuable, why would you want to refuse them? The rescuer certainly knows them very well. That's why he loved her more than us.
We'd better be ashamed of ourselves and make sure we live the perfect person in and for us, just as He told us to.
let us
preach the gospel, not make laws
that are beyond what the Savior has told us. "
Then they started to proclaim and preach ...
(End)
It can hardly be passed down more clearly that the disciples had no clue what Mary was actually telling. This scene should have taken place shortly after "Pentecost" and the state of knowledge that one has after “receiving the Holy Spirit” is by no means sufficient to understand these descriptions of the further course of the “path to wisdom”. Andrew and Peter show that a change of character has not yet taken place in them and only Levi takes a position for Mary. So the disciples went out and began to preach what they had understood, but that was only part of his knowledge. With this level of knowledge, however, they could not know that their words were not "forgery-proof" and that they would soon be changed beyond recognition.
