The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene

The Gospel of Mary

In this gnostic gospel, Mary Magdalene appears as a disciple, singled out by Jesus for special teachings. In this excerpt, the other disciples are discouraged and grieving Jesus’ death. Mary stands up and attempts to comfort them, reminding them that Jesus’ presence remains with them. Peter asks her to tell them the words of Jesus which she remembers. To his surprise, she does not reminisce about past conversations with Jesus, but claims that Jesus spoke to her that very day in a vision.

Truth

No person of understanding should ever accept anything in a dogmatic way. It is urgent to first Investigate, Understand, and Inquire, before accepting.

In other words, we shall say that there is no need to accept, but instead, we should investigate, analyze, meditate and understand. When understanding is complete, acceptance is unnecessary…

Accepting or rejecting any doctrine or concept reveals a lack of mental maturity.

When we reject or accept something, it is because we have not understood it. Whenever understanding exists, accepting or rejecting is unnecessary.

The mind that believes, the mind that does not believe and the mind that doubts is an ignorant mind. The path of wisdom does not lie in believing, not believing or doubting. The path of wisdom consists in inquiring, analyzing, meditating, experimenting.

Truth is the unknown from moment to moment. Truth has nothing to do with what one believes or stops believing, neither does it have anything to do with skepticism. Truth is not a matter of accepting or rejecting, it is something to experience, live and understand.  – Samael Aun Weor, Fundamentals of Gnostic Education

Thunder, Perfect Mind

I was sent forth from the (Christic) power (the Solar Logos), and I have come to those who reflect upon me (in meditation), and I have been found among those who seek after me (within themselves through rigorous self-analysis and psychological work, for I cannot abide where there is imperfection).

Look upon me, you who reflect upon me (in meditation), and you hearers (“who have the Vishuddha ear”, that is those who have understanding of the esoteric teachings), hear me.

You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves (through transmutation; do not waste your sexual energies foolishly).

And do not banish me from your (inner) sight (see me within all things, in all moments; that is, Remember Your True Self).
