It presents Anna’s first-person account of her life, the Essene community at Mount Carmel, the upbringing of Mary, and the early years and mission of Jesus.
John Wing Oliver, a physician, and Mary Elizabeth Manley Oliver.
It was released in 1905 by the Baumgardt Publishing Company in Los Angeles, arranged by his mother, Mary Elizabeth Manley-Oliver, reportedly to provide financial support for the family.
Her parents were Mary Elizabeth (née Hardin) and Arthur Taylor.
I guess he was married to Mary.And we traveled to the north and preached a joint religion of male and female.This doesn’t surprise me at all.
And maybe actually this was some kind of hybrid insemination project that went on with his mother Mary.
After that, the books about Mary Magdalene and the Grail were written under the most difficult circumstances — I had just gotten divorced and was living in a car.
Interviewer: You’ve written a lot about Mary Magdalene, Jesus and that time, and gone deep into metaphysics.

And it has been prophesied that in 2032 an 8-pointed star will appear above the pyramids of Giza, just as it did in the history of the many ancient wisdom cultures that are recorded within your indigenous peoples — such as the 8 paths of Buddha, the 8 immortals within the ancient Chinese tradition, the 8-pointed star of Islam, the seal of Solomon that became the 8-pointed star of David, and in Christianity, known as the Star of Bethlehem, which Mother Mary now carries as her peaked emblem.
Their lineage traces back to the Essenes, who were connected to the wisdom of Jesus and Mary, a bloodline originating from the Pleiades.
(Consequently, the daughter of Yeshua and Mary of Bethany is called Sar’h).
Mariam was then adopted by Mary Anna and Joseph ben Jacob, Yeshua’s parents.
As has already been shared, the Mary Magdalene you are familiar with is in fact a composite of Myriam of Tyana, Mary of Bethany and Mariam of Mount Carmel.
The mythical ‘Mary Magdalene’ is none other than the derided archetypal ‘fallen woman, the seductress and the prostitute’ – she who is put in her ‘lesser place’ and gagged by those who fear her power.
See Mary of Bethany
The Christian Church associates ascension with only two people: Jesus and his mother Mary.
Mary Magdalene was “the teacher of teachers” is not denied by the Roman Catholic Church.
Some narrations say Matta was his father’s name; others say it was his mother’s name (making him one of only two prophets whose lineage is sometimes traced through the mother, the other being Jesus son of Mary).
Mary Salome
We call her Mary Salome or Myriam.
CA: Did Yeshua have children with this other Mary?
You may recall Yeshua and Mary of Bethany had three adopted children who came with us on the boat: Joses, Judas and Miriam.
See Mary of Bethany
CA: Is this Mary a member of the Magdalene Order?
My mother (Myriam of Tyana) indeed had training with the masters of India and the Himalayas, whereas Mary of Bethany had only relatively brief encounters with them when she came to India with my father before the great ministry.
Most of Mary of Bethany’s training was with the Essenes at Mount Carmel.
We call her Mary Salome or Myriam.
CA: Is this Mary a member of the Magdalene Order?
Mary is with child.}
The area is steeped in the legends and mysteries of Mary Magdalene.
The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail claimed that Saunière possibly found evidence that Jesus of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene were married, and produced offspring that eventually became the Merovingian dynasty.
Burgess claims to have found the treasure of Bérenger Saunière: several mummified corpses (one of which is allegedly Mary Magdalene) in three underground tombs created by the Knights Templar under the orders of the Priory of Sion.
Pierre Plantard claimed that the Merovingians were descended from the Tribe of Benjamin, the Jesus bloodline hypothesis found in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail instead hypothesized that the Merovingians were descended from both the Benjamin line and the Davidic line of the Tribe of Judah, as embodied in the child of Mary Magdalen by virtue of a dynastic marriage.
They also venerate the "Two Marys" (or sometimes referred to as the Saintes-Maries): Mary Salome (Marie Salomé) and Mary Jacobe (Marie Jacobé).
The legend says these women (sometimes including Mary Magdalene and their servant Sarah) fled persecution after the crucifixion, crossed the sea in a rudderless boat, and landed on this shore in the 1st century.
A medieval legendary account had Mary Magdalene, Mary of Jacob and Mary Salome, Mark's Three Marys at the Tomb, or Mary Magdalene, Mary of Cleopas and Mary Salome, with Saint Sarah, the maid of one of them, as part of a group who landed near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in Provence after a voyage from the Holy Land.
The group sometimes includes Lazarus, who became bishop of Aix-en-Provence, Mary of Bethany, his sister, and Joseph of Arimathea.
Galeah is one of the Magdalene-Essenes, a group of initiated women (and some men) connected to the Essenes, who continued the spiritual work of Jesus (Yeshua) and Mary Magdalene after the crucifixion and resurrection.
Mary, whom your churches call the Virgin Mother.
Through her choices to complete her initiations in this life, this one was prepared to play the role of Mary, whom your churches call the Virgin Mother.
It is traditionally believed to be the birthplace of Anne (Hannah), the mother of the Virgin Mary, and marks the site where Anne and Joachim (Mary's parents) lived.
The Gospel of James provides significant (though non-canonical) details about Jesus' extended family, particularly through its emphasis on Mary's background and Joseph's prior life:
Grandparents (Joachim and Anna): They are central figures as Mary's parents and thus Jesus' maternal grandparents.
Depicted as devout, generous, and elderly when they conceive Mary miraculously (echoing biblical stories like Abraham/Sarah or Hannah/Samuel).
Mary's Upbringing: Mary is raised in profound holiness, from infancy dedicated to the Temple, living there until adolescence, and remaining a virgin.
Joseph: Presented as an older man (a widower) selected to guard Mary's virginity rather than consummate a normal marriage.
This supports the doctrine of Mary's perpetual virginity (before, during, and after Jesus' birth), which is explicitly defended through the midwife's examination and other details.
Jesus himself has no biological siblings in this account; Mary remains a virgin throughout.

His mother was a beautiful Jewish girl named Mary.
Birth of Mary, Joachim's feast.
Mary is blessed by the priests.
Mary abides in the temple.
1. Augustus Cæsar reigned and Herod Antipas was ruler of Jerusalem.2. Three provinces comprised the land of Palistine: Judea, and Samaria, and Galilee.3. Joachim was a master of the Jewish law, a man of wealth; he lived in Nazareth of Galilee; and Anna, of the tribe of Judah, was his wife.4. To them was born a child, a goodly female child, and they were glad; and Mary was the name they gave the child.5. Joachim made a feast in honour of the child; but he invited not the rich, the honoured and the great; he called the poor the halt and the lame, the blind, and to each one he gave a gift of raiment, food or other needful thing.6. He said, The Lord has given me this wealth; I am his steward by his grace, and if I give not to his children when in need, then he will make this wealth a curse.7. Now, when the child was three years old her parents took her to Jerusalem, and in the temple she received the blessings of the priests.8. The high priest was a prophet and a seer, and when he saw the child he said,9. Behold, this child will be the mother of an honoured prophet and a master of the law; she shall abide within this holy temple of the Lord.10. And Mary did abide within the temple of the Lord; and Hillel, chief of the Sanhedrim, taught her all the precepts of Jews, and she delighted in the law of God.11. When Mary reached the age of womanhood she was betrothed to Joseph, son of Jacob, and a carpenter of Nazareth.12. And Joseph was an upright man, and a devoted Essenes.
Prophetic messages of Gabriel to Zacharias, Elizabeth and Mary.
1. Near Hebron in the hills of Judah, Zacharias and Elizabeth abode.2. They were devote and just, and every day they read the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms which told of one to come, strong to redeem; and they were waiting for the king.3. Now, Zacharias was a priest, and in his turn he led the temple service in Jerusalem.4. It came to pass as Zacharias stood before the Lord and burned the incense in the Holy Place, that Gabriel came and stood before his face.5. And Zacharias was afraid; he thought that some great evil was about to come upon the Jews.6. But Gabriel said, O man of God, fear not; I bring to you and all the world, a message of good will, and peace on earth.7. Behold, the Prince of Peace, the king you seek, will quickly come.8. Your wife will bear to you a son, a holy son, of whom the prophet wrote,9. Behold, I send Elijah unto you again before the coming of the Lord; and he will level down the hills and fill the valleys up, and pave the way for him who shall redeem.10. From the beginning of the age your son has borne the name of John, the mercy of the Lord; his name is John.11. He will be honoured in the sight of God, and he will drink no wine, and from his birth he will be filled with Holy Breath.12. And Gabriel stood before Elizabeth as she was in the silence of her home, and told her all the words that he had said to Zacharias in Jerusalem.13. When he had done the service of his course, the priest went home, and with Elizabeth rejoiced.14. Five months passed by and Gabriel came to Mary in her home in Nazareth and said,15. Hail Mary, hail!
Once blessed in the name of God; twice blessed in the name of Holy Breath; thrice blessed in the name of Christ; for you are worthy, and will bear a son who shall be called Immanuel.16. His name is Jesus, for he saves his people from their sins.17. When Joseph's daily task was done he came, and Mary told him all the words that Gabriel spoke to her, and they rejoiced; for they believed that he, the man of God, had spoken words of truth.18. And Mary went with haste to tell Elizabeth about the promises of Gabriel; together they rejoiced.19. And in the home of Zacharias and Elizabeth did Mary tarry ninety days; then she returned to Nazareth.20. To Zacharias and Elizabeth a son was born, and Zacharias said,21. Most blessed be the name of God, for he has opened up the fount of blessings for his people, Israel.22. His promises are verified; for he has brought to pass the words which holy prophets spoke in olden times.23. And Zacharias looked upon infant John, and said,24. You shall be called the prophet of the Holy One; and you will go before his face, and will prepare his way.25. And you will give a knowledge of salvation unto Israel; and you will preach the gospel of repentance and the blotting out of sins.26. Behold, for soon the Day Star from on high will visit us, to light the way for those who sit within the darkness of the shadow-land, and guide our ways to the feet of peace.
Zacharias and Elizabeth visit Mary.
1. The time was nearly due for Jesus to be born, and Mary longed to see Elizabeth, and she and Joseph turned their faces toward the Judean hills.2. And when upon their way they came to Bethlehem the day was done, and they must tarry for the night.3. But Bethlehem was thronged with people going to Jerusalem; the inns and homes were filled with guests, and Joseph and his wife could find no place to rest but in a cave where animals were kept; and there they slept.4. At midnight came a cry, a child is born in yonder cave among the beasts.
And lo, the promised son of man was born.5. And strangers took the little one and wrapped him in the dainty robes that Mary had prepared and laid him in a trough from which the beasts of burden fed.6. Three persons clad in snow-white robes came in and stood before the child and said,7. All strength, all wisdom and all love be your, Immanuel.8. Now, on the hills of Bethehem were many flocks of sheep with shepherds guarding them.9. The shepherds were devout, were men of prayer, and they were waiting for a strong deliverer to come.10. And when the child of promise came, a man in snow-white robe appeared to them, and they fell back in fear.
At midnight in a cave in Bethehem was born the prophet and the king that you have long been waiting for.12. And then the shepherds all were glad; they felt that all the hills were filled with messengers of light, who said,13. All glory be to God on high; peace, peace on earth, good will to men.14. And then the shepherds came with haste to Bethlehem and to the cave, that they might see and honour him whom men had called Immanuel.15. Now, when the morning came, a shepherdess whose home was near, prepared a room for Mary, Joseph and the child; and here they tarried many days.16. And Joseph sent a messenger in haste to Zacharias and Elizabeth to say, The child is born in Bethlehem.17. And Zacharias and Elizabeth took John and came to Bethlehem with words of cheer.18. And Mary and Elizabeth recounted all the wonderous things that had transpired.
Mary offers sacrifices.
1. Now, Mary took her son, when he was forty days of age, up to the temple in Jerusalem, and he was consecrated by the priest.2. And then she offered purifying sacrifices for herself, according to the custom of the Jews; a lamb and two young turtle doves.3. A pious Jew named Simeon was in the temple serving God.4. From early youth he had been looking for Immanuel to come, and he had prayed to God that he might not depart until his eyes had seen Messiah in the flesh.5. And when he saw the infant Jesus he rejoiced and said, I now am ready to depart in peace, for I have seen the king.6. And then he took the infant in his arms and said, Behold, this child will bring a sword upon my people, Israel, and all the world; but he will break the sword and then the nations will learn war no more.7. The master's cross I see upon the forehead of this child, and he will conquer by this sign.8. And in the temple was a widow, four and eighty years of age, and she departed not, but night and day she worshipped God.9. And when she saw the infant Jesus she exclaimed, Behold Immanuel!
You shall adore and worship God; him only shall you serve.13. The woman rose and bowed her head in thankfulness and worshipped God.14. And Mary took the infant Jesus and returned to Bethlehem.
Mary and Joseph take Jesus and flee into Egypt.
He thought, perhaps, the priests were plotting to restore the kingdom of the Jews, and so he said within himself, I will know more about this child that has been born a king.9. And so he told the magian priests to tarry in the city for a while and he would tell them all about the king.10. He called in council all the Jewish masters of the law and asked, What have the Jewish prophets said concerning such a one?11. The Jewish masters answered him and said, The prophets long ago foretold that one would come to rule the tribes of Israel; that this Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.12. They said, The prophet Micah wrote, O Bethlehem Judea, a little place among the Judean hills, yet out of you will one come forth to rule my people, Israel; yea, one who lived in olden times, in very ancient days.13. Then Herod called the magian priests again and told them what the masters of the Jewish law had said; and then he sent them on the way to Bethlehem.14. He said, Go search, and if you find the child that has been born a king, return and tell me all, that I may go and honour him.15. The magians went their way and found the child with Mary in the shepherd's home.16. They honoured him; bestowed upon him precious gifts and gave him gold, gum-thus and myrrh.17. These magian priests could read the hearts of men; they read the wickedness of Herod's heart, and knew that he had sworn to kill the new born king.18. And so they told the secret to the parents of the child, and bid them flee beyond the reach of harm.19. And then the priests went on their homeward way; they went not through Jerusalem.20. And Joseph took the infant Jesus and his mother in the night and fled to Egypt land, and with Elihu and Salome in ancient Zoan they abode.
Mary and Elizabeth with their sons are in Zoan and are taught by Elihu and Salome.
He was a selfish, cruel king; he put to death all those who did not honour him.2. He called in council all the wisest men and asked about the infant claimant to his throne.3. The council said that John and Jesus both were dead; then he was satisfied.4. Now Joseph, Mary and their sons were down in Egypt in Zoan, and John was with his mother in the Judean Hills.5. Elihu and Salome sent messengers in haste to find Elizabeth and John.
They found them and they brought them to Zoan.6. Now, Mary and Elizabeth were marvelling much because of their deliverance.7. Elihu said, It is not strange; there are no happenings; law governs all events.8. From olden times it was ordained that you should be with us, and in this sacred school be taught.9. Elihu and Salome took Mary and Elizabeth out to the sacred grove near by where they were wont to teach.10. Elihu said to Mary and Elizabeth, You may esteem yourself thrice blest, for you are chosen mothers of long promised sons,11. Who are ordained to lay in solid rock a sure foundation stone on which the temple of the perfect man shall rest--a temple that shall never be destroyed.12. We measure time by cycle ages, and the gate to every age we deem a mile stone in the journey of the race.13. An age has passed; the gate unto another age flies open at the touch of time.
This is the preparation age of soul, the kingdom of Immanuel, of God in man;14. And these, your sons, will be the first to tell the news, and preach the gospel of good will to men, and peace on earth.15. A mighty work is theirs; for carnal men want not the light, they love the dark, and when the light shines in the dark they comprehend it not.16. We call these sons, Revealers of the Light; but they must have the light before they can reveal the light.17. And you must teach your sons, and set their souls on fire with love and holy zeal, and make them conscious of their missions to the sons of men.18. Teach them that God and man are one; but that through carnal thoughts and words and deeds, man tore himself away from God; debased himself.19. Teach that the Holy Breath would make them one again, restoring harmony and peace;20. That naught can make them one but Love; that God so loved the world that he has clothed his son in flesh that man may comprehend.21. The only Saviour of the world is love, and Jesus, son of Mary, comes to manifest that love to men.22. Now, love cannot manifest until its way has been prepared, and naught can rend the rocks and bring down lofty hills and fill the valleys up, and thus prepare the way, but purity.23. But purity in life men do not comprehend; and so, it, too, come in flesh.24. And you, Elizabeth, are blest because your son is purity made flesh, and he shall pave the way for love.25. This age will comprehend but little of the works of Purity and Love; but not a word is lost, for in the Book of God's Remembrance a registry is made of every thought, and word, and deed;26. And when the world is ready to receive, lo, God will sent a messenger to open up the book and copy from its sacred pages all the messages of Purity and Love.27. Then every man of earth will read the words of life in language of his native land, and men will see the light, walk in the light and be the light.28. And man again will be at one with God.
The sun, the moon have lessons of their own for men; but each one teaches at the appointed time.4. The lessons of the sun fall down on human hearts like withered leaves upon a stream, if given in the season of the moon and all the stars.5. To-day one walks in gloom, downhearted and oppressed; tomorrow that same one is filled with joy.6. To-day the heavens seem full of blessedness and hope; tomorrow hope has fled, and every plan and purpose comes to naught.7. To-day one wants to curse the very ground on which he treads; tomorrow he is full of love and praise.8. To-day one hates and scorns and envies and is jealous of the child he loves; tomorrow he has risen above his carnal self, and breathes forth gladness and good-will.9. A thousand times men wonder why these heights and depths, these light hearts and these sad, are found in every life.10. They do not know that there are teachers everywhere, each busy with a God- appointed task, and driving home to human hearts the truth.11. But this is true, and every one receives the lessons that he needs.12. And Mary said, To-day I am in exultation great; my thoughts and all my life seem lifted up; why am I thus inspired?13. Salome replied, This is a day of exultation; day of worship and of praise; a day when, in a measure, we may comprehend our Father-God.14. Then let us study God, the One, the Three, the Seven.15. Before the worlds were formed all things were One; just Spirit, Universal Breath.16. And Spirit breathed, and that which was not manifest became the Fire and Thought of Heaven, the Father-God, the Mother-God.17. And when the Fire and Thought of heaven in union breathed, their son, their only son, was born.
Men saw him as the One, the causeless Cause of all that is, and he was sacred unto them, as Tao to the dwellers of the farther East.17. The people lived in peace, and justice ruled.18. But, as in other lands, in Persia priests arose imbued with self and self desires, who outraged Force, Intelligence and Love;19. Religion grew corrupt, and birds and beasts and creeping things were set apart as gods.20. In course of time a lofty soul, whom men called Zarathustra, came in flesh.21. He saw the causeless Spirit, high and lifted up; he saw the weakness of all man appointed gods.22. He spoke and all of Persia heard; and when he said, One God, one people and one shrine, the altars of the idols fell, and Persia was redeemed.23. But men must see their Gods with human eyes, and Zarathustra said,24. The greatest of the Spirits standing near the throne is the Ahura Mazda, who manifests in brightness of the sun.25. And all the people saw Ahura Mazda in the sun, and they fell down and worshipped him in temples of the sun.26. And Persia is the magian land where live the priests who saw the star arise to mark the place where Mary's son was born, and were the first to greet him as the Prince of Peace.27. The precepts and the laws of Zarathustra are preserved in the Avesta which you can read and make your own.28. But you must know that words are naught till they are made alive; until the lessons they contain become a part of head and heart.29. Now truth is one; but no one knows the truth until he is the truth.
He said to Mary and Elizabeth, Our words are said; you need not tarry longer here; the call has come; the way is clear, you may return unto your native land.14. A mighty work is given you to do; you shall direct the minds that will direct the world.15. Your sons are set apart to lead men up to righteous thoughts, and words, and deeds;16. To make men know the sinfulness of sin; to lead them from the adoration of the lower self, and all illusive things, and make them conscious of the self that lives with Christ in God.17. In preparation for their work your sons must walk in many thorny paths.18. Fierce trials and temptations they will meet, like other men; their loads will not be light, and they will weary be, and faint.19. And they will know the pangs of hunger and of thirst; and without cause they will be mocked, imprisoned, scourged.20. To many countries they will go, and at the feet of many masters they will sit, for they must learn like other men.21. But we have said enough.
Three years they taught their pupils in the sacred grove, and if their lessons all were written in a book, lo, it would be a mighty book; of what they said we have the sum.23. Now, Mary, Joseph and Elizabeth with Jesus and his harbinger, set forth upon their homeward way.
They went not by Jerusalem, for Archelaus reigned.24. They journeyed by the Bitter Sea, and when they reached Engedi hills they rested in the home of Joshua, a near of kin; and here Elizabeth and John abode.25. But Joseph, Mary and their son went by the Jordan way, and after certain days they reached their home in Nazareth.
Mary teaches her son.
1. The home of Joseph was on Marmion Way in Nazareth; here Mary taught her son the lessons of Elihu and Salome.2. And Jesus greatly loved the Vedic and the Avesta; but more than all he loved to read the Psalms of David and the pungent words of Solomon.3. The Jewish books of prophecy were his delight; and when he reached his seventh year he needed not the books to read, for he had fixed in memory every word.4. Joachim and his wife, grandparents of child Jesus, made a feast in honour of the child, and all their near of kin were guests.5. And Jesus stood before the guests and said, I had a dream, and in my dream I stood before a sea, upon a sandy beach.6. The waves upon the sea were high; a storm was raging on the deep.7. Some one gave me a wand.
1. Now, Rabbi Barachia of the synagogue of Nazareth, was aid to Mary in the teaching of her son.2. One morning after service in the synagogue the rabbi said to Jesus as he sat in silent thought, Which is the greatest of the Ten Commands?3. And Jesus said, I do not see a greatest of the Ten Commands.
1. The great feast of the Jews was on, and Joseph, Mary and their son, and many of their kin, went to Jerusalem.
1. Again the great feast in Jerusalem was on, and Joseph, Mary and their son were there.
1. The great feast of the pasch was ended and the Nazarenes were journeying towards their homes.2. And they were in Samaria, and Mary said, Where is my son?
No one had seen the boy.3. And Joseph sought among their kindred who were on their way to Galilee; but they had seen him not.4. Then Joseph, Mary, and a son of Zebedee, returned and sought through all Jerusalem, but they could find him not.5. And then they went up to the temple courts and asked the guards, Have you seen Jesus, a fair-haired boy, with deep blue eyes, twelve years of age, about these courts?6. The guards replied, Yes, he is in the temple now disputing with the doctors of the law.7. And they went in, and found him as the guards had said.8. And Mary said, Why Jesus, why do you treat your parents thus?
When last the son of Mary saw these sacred groves he was a babe;3. And now a man grown strong by buffeting of every kind; a teacher who had stirred the multitudes in many lands.4. And Jesus told the aged teachers all about his life; about his journeyings in foreign lands; about the meetings with the masters and about his kind receptions by the multitudes.5. Elihu and Salome heard his story with delight; they lifted up their eyes to heaven and said,6. Our Father-God, let now thy servants go in peace, for we have seen the glory of the Lord;7. And we have talked with him, the messenger of love, and of the covenant of peace on earth, good will to men.8. Through him shall all the nations of the earth be blest; through him, Immanuel.9. And Jesus stayed in Zoan many days; and then went forth unto the city of the sun, that men call Heliopolis, and sought admission to the temple of the sacred brotherhood.10. The council of the brotherhood convened, and Jesus stood before the hierophant; he answered all the questions that were asked with clearness and with power.11. The hierophant exclaimed, Rabboni of the rabbinate, why come you here?
Behold, for he will come, says God, the Lord of hosts.26. And then he closed the book; he said no more; he left the temple halls, and with his six disciples, went his way to Nazareth,27. And they abode with Mary, Jesus' mother, and her sister, Miriam.
His mother, Mary, lives on Marion Way.3. The ruler said, Tell him to come up to the synagogue, for I would hear his plea.4. And Peter ran and told to Jesus what the ruler said; but Jesus answered not; he went not to the synagogue.5. Then in the evening time the ruler came up Marmion Way, and in the home of Mary found he Jesus and his mother all alone.6. And when the ruler asked for proof of his messiahship, and why he went not to the synagogue when he was bidden, Jesus said,7. I am not slave to any man; I am not called unto this ministry by priest.
1. In Cana, Galilee, there was a marriage feast, and Mary and her sister Miriam, and Jesus and his six disciples were among the guests.2. The ruler of the feast had heard that Jesus was a master sent from God, and he requested him to speak.3. And Jesus said, There is no tie more sacred than the marriage tie.4. The chain that binds two souls in love is made in heaven, and man can never sever it in twain.5. The lower passions of the twain may cause a union of the twain, a union as when oil and water meet.6. And then a priest may forge a chain, and bind the twain.
1. With three disciples Jesus went to Hebron where he tarried seven days and taught.2. And then he went to Bethany and in the home of Lazarus he taught.3. The evening came; the multitudes were gone, and Jesus, Lazarus, and his sisters, Martha, Ruth and Mary, were alone.4. And Ruth was sore distressed.
1. Now, many women who possessed much wealth, and abode in other towns of Galilee, implored that Jesus and the twelve, together with the masters from the foreign lands, would thither go and preach and heal.2. Among these anxious ones were Mary Magdalene, who was obsessed by seven homeless spirits of the air, which had been driven out by the Omnific Word which Jesus spoke;3. Susanna, who owned vast estates at Cæsarea-Philippi;4. Johanna, wife of Chuza, one of Herod's court;5. And Rachel from the coast of Tyre;6. And other from beyond the Jordan and the sea of Galilee.7. And they provided ample means and three times seven men went forth.8. They preached the gospel of the Christ and they baptised the multitudes who made confession of their faith; they healed the sick and raised the dead.9. And Jesus wrought and taught from early morn until the day had gone, and then into the night, he did not stop to eat.10. His friends became alarmed lest he should fail from loss of strength, and they laid hold of him and would, by force, have taken him away to a place of rest.11. But he rebuked them not; he said, Have you not read that God will give his angels charge concerning me?12. That they would hold me fast and suffer not that I should come to want?13. I tell you, men, while I am giving out my strength unto these anxious, waiting throngs I find myself at rest within the arms of God,14. Whose blessed messengers bring down to me the bread of life.15. There is a tide just once in human life.16. These people now are willing to receive the truth; their opportunity is now; our opportunity is now,17. And if we do not teach them while we may, the tide will ebb;18. They may not care again to hear the truth; then tell me, Who will bear the guilt?19. And so he taught and healed.20. Among the multitudes were men of every shade of thought.
1. Now, when the feast was finished Jesus with the foreign masters and the twelve, with Mary, Miriam and a band of loyal women who believed in Christ, went to a place apart to pray.2. And when their silence ended Jesus said, Be on your guard; the leaven of the Pharisees is being thrown in every measure of the meal of life.3. It is a poison that will taint whatever it may touch; and it will blight the soul as sure as fumes of the Diabolos; it is hypocrisy.4. The Pharisees seem fair in speech, but they are diabolical in heart.5. And then they seem to think that thought is something they can lock within themselves.6. They do not seem to know that every thought and wish is photographed and then preserved within the Book of Life to be revealed at any time the masters will.7. That which is thought, or wished, or done in darkest night shall be proclaimed in brightest day;8. That which is whispered in the ear within the secret place shall be made known upon the streets.9. And in the judgment day when all the books are opened up, these men, and every other man, shall be a-judged, not by what they've said or done,10. But by the ways in which they used the thoughts of God, and how the ethers of eternal love were made to serve;11. For men may make these ethers serve the carnal self, or serve the holy self within.12. Behold, these men may kill the body of this flesh; but what of that?
The Christines in the home of Mary of Magdala.
1. And Jesus left the multitudes and went with his disciples up to Mary's home; and as they sat about the board to dine he said,2. My little flock, fear not; it is your Father's will that you shall rule the kingdom of the soul.3. A ruler in the house of God is servant of the Lord of Hosts, and man cannot serve God except by serving men.4. A servant in the house of God cannot be servant in the house of wealth; nor in the synagogue of sense.5. If you are tied to lands, or bonds, or wealth of earth, your hearts are knit to things of earth; for where your treasures are there are your hearts.6. Dispose of all your wealth, distribute it among the poor, and put your trust in God, and you nor yours will ever come to want.7. This is a test of faith, and God will not accept the service of faithless one.8. The time is ripe; your Master comes upon the clouds; the eastern sky is glowing with his presence now.9. Put on reception robes; gird up your loins; trim up your lamps and fill them well with oil, and be prepared to meet your Lord; when you are ready, he will come.10. Thrice blessed are the servants who are ready to receive their Lord.11. Behold, for he will gird himself, and will prepare a sumptuous feast for every one, and he himself will serve.12. It matters not when he shall come; it may be at the second watch; it may be at the third; but blessed are the servants who are ready to receive.13. You cannot leave your door ajar and go to sleep, and wait in blissful ignorance of the fleeting time;14. For thieves will surely come and take away your goods and bind and carry you away to robbers' dens.15. And if you are not carried forth, the Master when he comes will not regard a sleeping guard as friend, but as a foe.16. Beloved, these are times when every man must be awake and at his post, for none can tell the hour nor the day when man shall be revealed.17. And Peter said, Lord is this parable for us, or for the multitudes?18. And Jesus, Why need you ask?
1. Now, after they had dined, the guests and Jesus all were in a spacious hall in Mary's home.2. And then Lamaas said, Pray, tell us Lord, is this the dawn of peace?3. Have we come forth unto the time when men will war no more?4. Are you, indeed, the Prince of Peace that holy men said would come?5. And Jesus said, Peace reigns to-day; it is the peace of death.6. A stagnant pool abides in peace.
The people there had met with one accord to celebrate some great event.2. And Jesus and the foreign masters and the twelve, and Mary, mother of the Lord, and Miriam were there.3. And when the people were assembled in the great hall of the town, the graceful singer, Miriam, stood and sang a song of praise.4. But few of all the multitude knew who the singer was; but instantly she won all hearts.5. For many days she sang the songs of Israel, and then she went her way.6. The Sabbath came and Jesus went into the synagogue.
From whence did all this wisdom come?27. Is not this Mary's son, whose home is out on Marmion Way?28. Are not his brothers, Jude and James and Simon, known among our honoured men?
1. And Jesus stood again within the temple courts and taught.2. A master of the law was sent to question him that he might find a cause to censure and accuse him of a crime.3. He said, Lord, tell me what to do that I may have eternal life?4. And Jesus said, You know the law; what does it say?5. The lawyer answered, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, and you shall love your neighbour as yourself.6. And Jesus said, Lo, you have answered well; this do and you shall live.7. The lawyer said, My neighbour, who is he?8. And Jesus said, A man was going from Jerusalem to Jericho, and lo, he met with robbers on the way, who beat him, robbed him of his goods, and left him bleeding by the way.9. A Pharisee was going down that way; he saw the wounded man; but then he had no time to lose; he passed by on the other side.10. A Levite came and saw the man; but he was loath to soil his sacerdotal robes, and he passed by.11. A lawyer on his way to Jericho observed the dying man, and then he said, If I could make a shekel I might help the man; but he has nothing left to give, I have no time for charity; and he passed on.12. And then a stranger from Samaria came that way; he saw the wounded man; his heart was touched with pity, and he stopped, dismounted from his horse,13. Revived the man, and placed him on his horse and took him to an inn and charged the keeper of the inn to nurse him back to strength.14. He gave the keeper all the money that he had and said, Your charges may be more than this, but care for this unfortunate, and when I come again I will pay all; and then he went his way.15. Now, master of the law, which of these four was neighbour unto him who fell among the thieves?16. The lawyer said, The man who showed him mercy; he who cared for him.17. And Jesus said, Go on your way and likewise do, and you shall live.18. Now, Jesus, Peter, James and John went out to Bethany where Lazarus lived.19. And Mary sat at Jesus' feet and heard him speak the words of life while Martha served.20. And Martha called, but Mary would not leave the Lord to help her serve.21. And Martha said to Jesus, Do you not care that Mary makes me bear the burdens of the serving all the day?
Amen.17. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,18. My Father-God, let now the benediction of thy love, thy mercy and thy truth rest on these men.19. The lamp is taken from their midst, and if the inner light be not aflame, lo, they must tread the ways of darkness and of death.20. And then he said to all, Farewell21. Then Jesus and his mother, and the twelve, and Miriam and Mary, mother of the two disciples, James and John,22. And many other loyal souls who loved the Christ, went to Jerusalem, that they might celebrate the Jewish feast.23. And as they journeyed on their way they came to Enon Springs, near unto Salim where the harbinger once taught.24. And as they rested by the fountain, Mary, wife of Zebedee, and mother of the two disciples, James and John, came to the master and she said,25. My Lord, I know the kingdom is about to come, and I would ask this boon: Command that these my sons shall sit with you upon the throne, the one upon the right, the other on the left.26. And Jesus said to her, You know not what you ask.27. And then he turned to James and John and said, Are you prepared and are you strong enough to drink the cup that I will drink?28. They said, Yes, master, we are strong enough to follow where you go.29. Then Jesus said, You shall indeed drink of my cup; but I am not the judge of who will sit upon my right or my left.30. The men who live the life and keep the faith will sit upon the throne of power.31. Now, when the apostles heard the pleadings of the mother for her sons, and knew that James and John were seeking special favours from the Lord, they were indignant and they said,32. We surely thought that James and John had risen above the selfish self.
And they arose and went.11. Now, Mary, Martha, Ruth and many friends were weeping in their home when one approached and said, The Lord has come; but Mary did not hear the words.12. But Ruth and Martha heard, and they arose and went to meet the Lord; he waited at the village gate.13. And when they met the master Martha said, You are too late, for Lazarus is dead; if you had only been with us I know that he would not have died.14. But even now I know that you have power over death; that by the sacred Word you may cause life to rise from death.15. And Jesus said, Behold, for Lazarus shall again.16. And Martha said, I know that he will rise and live again when all the dead shall rise.17. And Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life; he who has faith in me, though he be dead, yet shall he live;18. And he who is alive, and has a living faith in me, shall never die.
Do you believe what I have said?19. And Martha said, Lord, I believe that you are come to manifest the Christ of God.20. The Jesus said, Go back and call aside your sister, and my mother and the prophetess and say that I have come; and I will stay here by the gate till they have come to me.21. And Ruth and Martha did as Jesus bade them do, and in a little while the Marys and the prophetess had met the Lord.22. And Mary said, Why did you tarry thus?
Mary anoints the master with a costly balm, and Judas and others rebuke her for profligacy.
1. Bar-Simon, who was once a leper and was cleansed by Jesus by the sacred Word, abode in Bethany.2. In honour of the Christine Lord he gave a feast, and Lazarus was among the guests, and Ruth and Martha served.3. And as the guests reclined about the table, Mary took a cruse of rich perfume and poured it out on Jesus' head and feet.4. And then she knelt and with her hair she wiped his feet; the odour of the rich perfume filled all the room.5. Now, Judas, always looking at the selfish side of life, exclaimed, For shamed, why did you waste that costly perfume thus?6. We might have sold it for three hundred pence, and had the money to supply our wants and feed the poor.7. (Now, Judas was the treasurer, and carried all the money of the Christine band.)8. And others said, Why, Mary, what a profligate you are!
You should not throw such wealth away.9. But Jesus said, You men, be still; let her alone; you know not what you say.10. The poor are with you constantly; at any time you can administer to them; but I will not be with you long.11. And Mary knows the sadness of the coming days; she has anointed me beforehand for my burial.12. The gospel of the Christ will everywhere be preached, and he who tells the story of the Christ will tell about this day; and what was done by Mary at this hour will be a sweet memorial to her wherever men abide.13. And when the feast was over Jesus went with Lazarus to his home.14. Now, in Jerusalem the priests and Pharisees were busy with their plans to seize the Lord and take his life.15. The high priest called a counsel all the wisest men and said, This deed must be accomplished in a secret way.16. He must be taken when the multitudes are not a-near, else we may cause a war; the common people may stand forth in his defence and thus pollute this sacred place with human blood.17. And what we do, that we must do before the great day of the feast.18. And Ananias said, I have a plan that will succeed.
Among them were the mother of the Lord and Miriam,32. And Mary, mother of the two apostles, James and John, and Mary Magdalene, and Martha, Ruth and Mary, and Salome.33. When Jesus saw his mother and the singer Miriam standing close beside the cross and John a-near, he said to John,34. In your most tender care I leave my mother and my sister Miriam.35. And John replied, While they shall live my home shall be the home of your thrice blessed mother and your sister Miriam.36. According to a custom of the Jews, to those who were the executioners of law and took the lives of criminals, belonged the garments of the criminals.37. So when the Lord was crucified, the Roman guards divided up among themselves the garments of the Lord.38. But when they found his coat it was a seamless coat and highly prized.39. For it the guards cast lots, and thus determined who should have the prize.40. And thus the scripture was fulfilled, which said, And they divided all my robes among themselves, and for my vesture they cast lots.
Jesus appears, fully materialised, to his mother, Miriam, Mary of Magdala and to Peter, James and John.
The mother of the Lord, and Mary Magdalene, and Miriam were there.2. And when the body was entombed they went to Joseph's home and there abode.3. They did not know that Jewish soldiers had been sent to guard the tomb, nor that Roman seal was placed upon the stone;4. So in the morning of the first day of the week they hastened to the tomb with spices to embalm the Lord.5. But when they reached the tomb they found the terror-stricken soldiers running frantically about.6. The women did not know the cause; but when they found an empty tomb they were excited and aggrieved.7. The soldiers did not know what had transpired; they could not tell who took the body of the Lord away.8. And Mary Magdalene ran with haste toward Jerusalem to tell the news to Peter and the rest.9. She met, just by the gateway, Peter, James and John; she said, Some one has rolled away the stone and carried off the body of the Lord.10. And then the three disciples ran toward the tomb; but John was fleet of foot and was the first to reach the tomb; he found it empty; the body of his Lord was gone.11. When Peter came he went into the tomb, and found the grave clothes neatly folded up and laid aside.12. Now, the disciples did not comprehend the scene.
They did not know the meaning of their Lord when he informed them just before his death that he would rise from death upon the first day of the week.13. The three disciples went back to Jerusalem; the mother of the Lord and Miriam went not away.14. And Mary looked within the tomb, and saw two masters sitting there; they said, Why do you weep?15. And Mary said, Because my Lord is gone; some one has carried off the body of my Lord; I know not where it is.16. Then she arose and looked around; a man stood near and said, Why do you weep?
whom do you seek?17. And Mary thought it was the gardener and said, If you have borne away the body of my Lord, O tell me where it is that I may lay it in a sacred tomb.18. And then the man came near and said, My Mother!
and Mary said, My Lord!19. The eyes of Miriam were opened up and she beheld the Lord.20. And Jesus said, Behold, I told you as we walked along the way up to the cross that I would meet you at the sepulchre upon the first day of the week.21. Now, Mary Magdalene was sitting not a great way off, and Jesus went to her and said,22. Why seek the living 'mong the dead?
Your Lord has risen as he said, Now, Mary, look!
Behold my face!23. Then Mary knew it was the Lord; that he had risen from the dead.24. And then Salome, and Mary, mother of the two disciples, James and John, Joanna, and the other women who had come out to the tomb, saw Jesus, and they talked with him.25. And Mary Magdalene was filled with joy.
They did not think that he had risen from the dead.28. Then Mary found the other members of the company and told them all about the risen Lord; but none of them believed.29. Now, Peter, James and John were in the garden of Siloam; were talking with the gardener about the happenings of the day when John beheld a stranger coming up the walk.30. The stranger lifted up his hands and said, I am.
And Jesus disappeared.12. Now, Mary, Martha, Ruth and Lazarus were in their home, and they had heard the rumour that their Lord had risen from the dead, and Martha said,13. It cannot be, for such a thing has never happened since the world began.14. But Mary said, Did not the Lord bring back our brother from the dead?
With five generations of his family tied to the land, he and his wife Mary chose to raise their children in this environment to foster a sense of community.
Sharing with his wife Mary was challenging due to the limitations of human language, but certain triggers, like music, reconnected him to that dimension.
Mary recounted Philip’s sleep-talk revelation that he returned to be a conduit of hope.
"In not understanding Jesus in the full capacity of his expression, then many people who purport to understand him or purport to believe in him actually have no understanding of the fact that he was presenting both a male and a female aspect in the Mary of the Magdalene."
Jesus represented a balance of male and female energies, alongside Mary Magdalene, his chief disciple.
Their teachings were highly metaphysical, emphasizing harmony between genders, as seen in texts like the Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
