Bethany, 33 AD
The Mother looked at the image of Mary Magdalene on the viewer. A servant of hers. She smiled and spoke, “The Bethany church was led by Mary Magdalene, the wife of Jesus. Theirs, would be a far different doctrine than those in Jerusalem. Theirs, would be what would be later labeled as Gnostic in its beliefs. A ‘we are all one’ philosophy, with the kingdom of heaven being located within all.”
“It’s already been explained to you why Philip and Bartholomew left Jerusalem, and founded their own church. Now allow me to explain to you why Mary Magdalene, and her family members left the Jerusalem church. A church which was at first founded by Peter, and later on ran by James the Just.”
“Within a week of the crucifixion, Mary received a message from me. As a being of light, I instructed her to teach all that Jesus had taught her. Those that were taught to the masses, but also those teachings which were taught to her secretly by him. Gnostic teachings that the others were not ready to hear. That is, all with the exception of Philip. Because of his extensive knowledge of scripture, and his three years with John the Baptist, Philip had understood much more than most. But the Father of all things was working with Philip, laying out his plans for him. I on the other hand, was more focused on Mary.
“Mary Magdalene was mine. Her church would be my church. Her teachings would be a combination of the Father’s from Jesus, and mine from me. But mostly from myself, and my angels.
“I also told her that many more revelations would come to her from me. And that all things would be explained to her. That she was the bride to this new spiritual way, and that Jesus was the groom. And that in time, this teaching would dominate the planet, allowing for a whole new way of living. And lifting mankind to the golden age of Gaia.
“Let me explain the tenets of the church of Bethany, taught by their leader Mary Magdalene. For like Jesus of Nazareth, she was also sent to mankind as a messenger. The Father sent Jesus, and I sent Mary Magdalene.”
“My teaching to Mary Magdalene, relied on personal experience and perception. It is a mystical knowledge gathered from the divine. That spark that resides in us all. The Source of all things, inhabiting each and every living being throughout the cosmos. Giving us life. The salvation that was spoken of by Mary Magdalene was the direct knowledge of the Creator, which can only be found within. This was the message of Jesus. It was also the message of Mary Magdalene and Philip. But it most certainly wasn’t the message of the Jerusalem, nor the Roman church.
“Mary’s version of the way taught that humans are beings with four parts to them. The Soul, Spirit, Mind, and Body. The Soul is, the Spirit feels, the Mind thinks, and the Body does.”
“She truthfully taught that there is a divine masculine, and feminine, created from the Source of all things. And as you can see here on stage, her teaching is correct. There is a divine masculine and feminine in all of us. The Father and I are representatives of this.”
The Mother looked over at her husband of eons and winked, smiling she continued on, “Mary Magdalene taught that there was a god of the physical world, but he wasn’t the creator of all things. A rebel force which had usurped the throne of earth. Her later followers would name this creature REX MUNDI. Mary Magdalene was correct.”
“REX MUNDI is a false god. The sower of physical chaos. The author of the illusion which surrounds planet earth at this time. In other words, Mary’s church taught that REX was Lucifer. The being who created a holographic universe, thus blinding its inhabitants.
“Plain and simple, REX MUNDI is the opposition.”
“The church of the Magdalene also taught dualism. That there was an equal and opposite force. In other words, the yin and yang. Two opposing forces balancing themselves out in the universe. That you had to have one to have the other. You had to have right to have left, up to have down, male to have female, and so on.
“Mary Magdalene taught her followers to put love before power, and strive to achieve spiritual enlightenment. And not to chase after material possession. That the God of the spiritual realm was far greater than the god of the material world. That spiritual perfection lie within, and by achieving that, one could achieve perfection without.
“Jesus of Nazareth was the first person to achieve Christ consciousness on planet earth. Mary Magdalene was the second. But because of chauvinistic sexist attitudes, it wasn’t her time yet. That would come later.”
The Father of all things piped in with a prophecy, “That will come two thousand years later.”
“Or forty jubilees later, as one who is currently residing on planet earth has already discovered,” said the Mother with a wink and a tease.
“At the blood moon, as he has also discovered,” said the Father. Further extending the Mother’s tease.
The angelic host was all looking at their Creators for answers. They collectively knew that the Father and Mother of all things had just thrown some prophecy their way. Dropping a couple of bombshells on the unsuspecting host. They awaited further explanation. But for the time being, they received none.
The Mother of all things smiled at their inquisitive nature and continued, “You see, the Father isn’t the only one with a sense of humor, and a teasing nature. Two can play at this game. I know the Father has sent his servant Amos back down to earth to stir up trouble for the status quo. And that the Father has revealed to Amos some heavenly secrets.”
“Nothing gets past you does it?” asked the Father.
“Not much my love,” answered the Mother. Shall I continue?” she asked.
“Certainly,” he said. Smiling at her wit.
She resumed her lecture, “Let’s backtrack to the point where Jesus had just fled to the east, and the apostles were all wondering what to do next.”
“At the very beginning of the church of Jerusalem, there was a major schism. Mary Magdalene was to be the true apostle to the apostles. The leader of the church, as appointed to her by Jesus himself. For he had taught her many mysteries, which were omitted to the others.
“But we had a problem, and his name was Peter.”
“Peter was extremely chauvinistic, which was the case with many Jews of that time period. After all, they had been taught that women were second class citizens. To be kept in the outer courts of the temple. While the men prayed inside.”
The Mother chuckled to herself and continued, “Women were meant to be seen and not heard. To raise babies, and run the household. Nothing else. Unfortunately, many parts of planet earth still treat women this way. But that is about to change in a dramatic way.”
“Well, Jesus didn’t have this same attitude. He couldn’t have, if he was to have one of my servants, Mary Magdalene as his bride. So he taught her many secrets from the Father. And she taught him many secrets from me. They were a wonderful pair in the little time that they were together.
“But after Jesus disappeared, there was a power struggle for whom would be the leader of the apostles.”
“Peter, as a man who was usually in charge, liked to think that he was the man chosen by Jesus. Peter had a strong personality, and tended to get his way with many of the other apostles. Philip, as another apostle with a strong personality, wasn’t there to oppose him. Bartholomew and he had already left for Caesarea. Therefore, Peter didn’t have much opposition to his title of ‘apostle to the apostles.”
“So when it was time for the group to choose a leader, Peter received the most votes. Only Martha, Lazarus, Jesus’ mother Mary, Joseph, and Jesus’ sister’s Mary and Sarah voted for Mary Magdalene. Not one of the other apostles cast their vote for her. All stood by Peter’s side. Therefore, Mary Magdalene’s group left Jerusalem for Bethany. For those in the know of Jesus’ true fate weren’t about to be taught by Peter. And that is how the schisms began.”
The Father piped in, “Notice that all of those who were in the know of the whereabouts of Jesus, all went with Mary Magdalene. This is very important in the history and development of the church. This group led by the Magdalene was one of the two origins of the Gnostic church. The other origin was in Caesarea with Philip and Bartholomew.”
“Yet Mary Magdalene, and her group left the others quietly. While Philip and Bartholomew left with a rather large bang,” added the Mother.
“I’ve been working on his temper for a very long time. I am still working on it,” said the Father with a laugh. He added, “Remember that Philip thought Jesus was dead. And he was very loyal to his friend. He would have stuck up for Jesus, and ended up being arrested himself. Which is another reason why I sent him to Gaza.”
She smiled at him. The Mother of all things knew how much the soul that in habited the body of Philip had meant to the Father. The same soul that had dwelt within the body of Abraham, had dwelt in Philip. She then looked to her captive audience and said, “Now let’s fast forward to the all-important year of 42AD.”
