An Invitation to Journey with Mary
Welcome, dear friends, to an exploration that delves into one of the most profound and illuminating texts from early Christianity, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Far more than a collection of ancient words, this text is a call to each of us—those who feel the pull toward something beyond the known, who sense a light breaking through the cracks of old beliefs and yearning to illuminate new truths.
In this series, we’ll journey through each chapter of The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, not only to uncover the messages within but to invite the teachings to open a path toward our own wisdom. This gospel offers a vision of Mary Magdalene as a spiritual teacher, one entrusted by Yeshua ben Joseph with a profound understanding of Awakening, Realization, and the nature of sovereignty. As we explore, we’ll find that Mary’s teachings are as timeless as they are deeply personal, offering insights that resonate with our own journeys, especially those of us drawn to the questions of consciousness and the ‘more.’
Why The Gospel of Mary Matters in Today’s World
Mary Magdalene’s voice and vision come to us as a bridge between the ancient and the modern, transcending the labels of religion to speak to the seeker in each of us. Her gospel represents an awakening to inner Gnosis or Gnost—the knowledge that exists within, beyond the boundaries of doctrines and laws. This text is often considered part of the Gnostic tradition, where “gnosis” means experiential knowledge, an inner knowing rather than intellectual understanding. As we explore her words, we’ll witness how her teachings challenge both societal norms and traditional religious beliefs, gently nudging us toward a self-sovereign path.
The essence of The Gospel of Mary is universal: the realization of our inner wholeness. It’s a testament to self-liberation, to finding peace within rather than seeking it outside ourselves. And it’s also about our human and divine nature, echoing the very concepts of conscious breath, allowance, and awareness—fundamental elements in The New Gnostic.
Awakening to Realization: The Journey Begins
Awakening is just the first step in a journey toward Realization—learning who we truly are and peeling away layers of beliefs and identities that no longer serve. Mary’s words offer a unique perspective on this journey, one that speaks not only to our minds but to our souls. Through her voice, we hear echoes of the teachings of Yeshua, who did not preach sin or guilt but spoke of love and freedom.
This gospel, lost for centuries and rediscovered, reminds us that Awakening is less about uncovering new beliefs and more about returning to a place within, to the quiet center where we know, “I Exist. I Am That I Am.” Mary’s wisdom shows us that enlightenment is not a distant goal but an intimate experience, unfolding within us, moment by moment.
A Guiding Light Through the Chapters Ahead
Throughout this series, we’ll unpack Mary’s words chapter by chapter, exploring the themes she addresses and what they mean for us today. We’ll dive into the nature of matter and sin, the journey of the soul, and the importance of trusting one’s inner knowing—unfiltered by the views of others. We’ll explore how Mary reassures the disciples in the face of doubt, embodying the feminine voice of courage and compassion that remains just as relevant today.
And just for fun, we’ll also interweave the 21 Shaumbra Realizations into this exploration, using them as guiding principles. These insights—experiences of trust, conscious creation, and acceptance—will naturally infuse our journey, as will the concept of conscious breath and allowing.
An Invitation to Join the Journey
I invite you to open yourself to this exploration, to let Mary’s words stir something within you that perhaps you’ve felt but haven’t yet named. This journey is as much about discovering Mary’s message as it is about discovering your own truth. So, as we step into this exploration of The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, may we do so with curiosity, with openness, and with a readiness to find a part of ourselves we might have long forgotten.
In Mary’s story, we may find reflections of our own awakening—an invitation to explore, to release, and to embrace the truth of who we are, breath by breath.
