Living the “and”: Embracing Spiritual Awareness in a Complex World

1. Reframing Spirituality: Beyond the Stereotype

When people hear the word “spiritual,” it often conjures images of quiet retreats, meditation, and a detachment from worldly concerns. It’s a vision of peace and transcendence—but one that often assumes spirituality is separate from the messiness of everyday life.

Yet, what if being spiritual isn’t about escaping the human experience, but fully embracing it? What if true mastery lies in embodying both the divine and the human, walking through life with an open heart and clear awareness, even amidst its challenges?

This is the essence of the “and.” It’s the realization that we are not here to choose between the spiritual and the physical, the divine and the human, or even peace and action. Instead, the “and” allows us to hold it all—awareness of our eternal nature while engaging deeply and consciously with the world.

Chapter 3: Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine

Chapter 3 of The Experience of Love: A Commentary on Awakening and Wholeness

The Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine are the two primary energies that weave the fabric of creation. Together, they embody the balance of action and being, giving and receiving, structure and flow. These energies are not separate from us—they are within us, influencing every thought, feeling, and choice.

This chapter explores the nature of the Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine, their interplay within ourselves and the world, and how their reunion leads to profound healing and unity.


Chapter 2: The Nature of Creation

Chapter 2 of The Experience of Love: A Commentary on Awakening and Wholeness

Creation is not an act of doing but an experience of being. It is a love story—the eternal dance of energies that bring form to consciousness. From the grandest galaxies to the smallest blade of grass, all of creation is born from the interplay of the Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine. Together, they weave the fabric of existence, flowing in harmony to express the infinite possibilities of love.

This chapter explores the essence of creation, the dynamic balance of duality, and how every moment of life is a creative act rooted in love.


Chapter 1: The Call to Awaken

Chapter 1 of The Experience of Love: A Commentary on Awakening and Wholeness

Awakening is not an event; it is a gradual unfolding of awareness that brings us closer to the truth of who we are. In The Experience of Love, Isis describes this awakening as a stirring—sometimes gentle, other times forceful—that invites us to rise from the dream of separation and step into the vastness of our divine nature.

Isis’s message is clear: humanity stands at a pivotal moment. The ladder of consciousness stretches before us, each rung offering new perspectives and greater freedom. Yet, many hesitate, either unaware of their potential to ascend or afraid of leaving the familiar behind. Her words, “Open your eyes, dear ones, wake up!”, resonate as both an invitation and a call to action.


Introduction: The Journey Begins

Introduction to The Experience of Love—A Journey into Awakening and Wholeness

The journey of awakening is, at its heart, a journey into love—not the fleeting, conditional love often portrayed in human experience, but the vast, unchanging love that arises from recognizing the divinity within ourselves. The Experience of Love by Virgilia Aguirre and Isis, the Divine Feminine, is a profound reflection of this sacred truth. It invites us to step beyond separation, duality, and self-limitation into the expansive realization of who we truly are.

This Isis is not the ancient Egyptian goddess but the voice of the Divine Feminine consciousness itself—a presence that transcends names, forms, and eras. She speaks as the essence of the Feminine principle, reuniting with her counterpart, Adam, the Sacred Masculine, to offer a new perspective on wholeness, unity, and the human experience. In these pages, her wisdom calls us to awaken to our divinity and embrace the fullness of our human and divine natures.


Why I Call Him Yeshua: A Journey Beyond the Name

More Than a Name

When I refer to Yeshua ben Joseph instead of “Jesus,” some people assume I’m simply trying to be trendy or “New Agey.” Others wonder why the name matters at all. After all, isn’t it the same person?

This question is both simple and profound because Yeshua and Jesus are not just different names—they represent different perspectives, even different beings.

Yeshua was his Aramaic name, the language he spoke and heard throughout his life. It means “salvation” or “to deliver,” and it connects us to the man who walked the Earth as a realized Master. In Hebrew, his name was sometimes written as Yehoshua, a longer form meaning “Yahweh is salvation.” This connects him to the lineage of Hebrew wisdom, including figures like Joshua in the Old Testament.

The Acts of Thomas: A New Way of Seeing

Let’s dive into The Acts of Thomas or The Coptic Gospel of Thomas. (Click here to read the full text.) This is one of my favorites of the Gnostic texts. Often called a “sayings gospel,” it stands out because it’s not a narrative like other gospels in the New Testament. Instead, it’s a collection of 114 sayings attributed to Yeshua (Jesus), and it offers an intimate glimpse into what could be described as direct teachings or insights meant for those who are ready to receive them.

Part 7: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the Journey to Wisdom

Conclusion: Reflecting on Mary Magdalene’s Legacy of Realization

As we conclude this journey through The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, we reflect on the timeless teachings and insights shared within its chapters. This text, lost for centuries and only recently rediscovered, offers a profound glimpse into the essence of Mary’s message—a message of self-realization, inner sovereignty, and deep interconnectedness. Far from being a mere historical relic, Mary’s gospel is a living guide for anyone on the path of awakening, inviting us to explore and trust our inner wisdom.

Part 6: Mary’s Vision and the Power of Inner Authority

Chapter 9: Mary Magdalene and the Challenge of Sharing Her Vision

In Chapter 9 of The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Mary shares a personal vision from Yesua with her fellow disciples. Yet instead of receiving validation and support, Mary faces doubt, skepticism, and resistance. This chapter highlights a struggle that many of us experience on the spiritual path: the challenge of standing firm in our inner authority, even when others may question or dismiss our experience.

Part 5: The Soul’s Journey Through Desire, Ignorance, and Wrath

Chapter 8: Understanding the Soul’s Journey in The Gospel of Mary Magdalene

Chapter 8 of The Gospel of Mary Magdalene presents a vivid depiction of the soul’s journey through inner obstacles and challenges. As the soul ascends, it encounters forces that question, obstruct, and try to hold it back. These forces—Desire, Ignorance, and Wrath—are personified as powers that must be faced and overcome. This journey represents the process of inner liberation, where the soul moves through layers of self-imposed limitation to reconnect with its essence.
