Title: The "Da Vinci Code" and Mary Magdalene Post by Kyo_Kusanagi on May 20th, 2006 at 1:19pm
I'm just back from Bedok Princess cinema where I caught Ron Howard's movie "The Da Vinci Code" based on Dan Brown's book, and the part of the movie I felt was really beautiful and deeply touching, was in the very last few moments of the movie in which Tom Hanks realizes the (supposedly) true location of Mary Magdalene's tomb ("She rests at last beneath the starry skies..."), and kneels in deep reverence before it.
The feeling of the presence of Mary Magdalene, and all of the higher spiritual energies that she represents, is such a deeply beautiful and powerful energy. That was *the* moment, of the entire movie. So thereupon, I remembered Mary Magdalene had a brief guest appearance on last year's 2005 Hilarion Winter Solstice channeling. So I check Jon C Fox's Hilairon.com, and lo and behold! I see Jon has posted up the transcript of the 2005 Hilarion Winter Solstice channeling (thanks to volunteer transcriber Lori Dunn!). So here it is, our updated webpages : Hilarion on Jesus Christ, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene : http://infinity.usanethosting.com/Heart.Of.God/Hilarion/Hilarion_On_JesusChrist.htm 2005 Hilarion Winter Solstice channeling (our mirror) : http://infinity.usanethosting.com/Heart.Of.God/Hilarion/WinterSolstice05.htm |

Hi Kyo,
I had read the book; I'm not sure I want to see the movie, as the book alone was well written fiction. Brown's point that what he calls "the sacred feminine," has been repressed by men both of the church and in power for eons is unquestionably true, whether or not the question of Jesus and Mary's union is fictional. As I asked Don in another thread, if there had been a union, I think it would have only validated Jesus' message, and show a complete life on earth as a human being. The fact is, however that the evidence is not there to support the premise, nor is there any good evidence to show that offspring of this fictional marriage were born, and sheltered over the centuries. I am not a christian by birth, but it seems to me that Jesus' example was to be taken to heart on how he lived, and was resurrected. The notion that offspring would somehow by crucial never came across in his teachings or history. There has been a gospel allegedly written by Mary Magdalene after the crucifiction. This, as I'm sure Don will point out was not authenticated and written/found many decades after the event. Of course it was never included in the christian bible. Brown's hypothesis went so far as to say that to suppress the sacred feminine, that Mary Magdalene who had noble Jewish parents was branded as a harlot by men of the eary church, so that no one would ever look into her true connection with Jesus. At least these issues are thought provoking. None of the hypotheses would cause me to doubt Jesus' ministry, parables, or teachings. If taken as creative fiction, I don't think any church member should be threatened by the movie or book. Matthew |

Some may be interested in this excerpt from a Cayce reading:
10. (Q) Is it true that Jesus in His youth loved Mary, Martha's sister as a sweetheart, or did He never have a sweetheart? (A) Mary, the sister of Martha, was an harlot, - until the cleansing; and not one that Jesus would have loved, though He loved all. The closer associations brought to the physical or filial love, were with the children - and not with those the age of the Master. Reading 2067-7 I find the last part interesting, cause it seem like Cayce's Source is saying that if it could be said that Yeshua had had any personal love for others, it most would have been with children (yet even then it was not limited at all). |

Hello Matthew,
I suggest for the reader, to let go of any preconceived notions regarding value attachment to historical fact/fiction, accuracy, Biblical references and scholars. While it is clear that Dan Brown's novel is a work of fiction based loosely on some historical fact, how much of it is fact (eg. that Jesus indeed had a wife, etc) and how much of it is fiction and made up (eg. the Priory of Scion, etc), it is not important and not to be focused on. Because it is easy to fall into the same trap of dogma that religions fall into, when one focuses on the details (and scholars obsess themselves with what's 'right' what's 'wrong'), and lose the true energies underlying these. The true purpose of these events. I do in addition, suggest that in speaking of the highest aspect of Jesus Christ, not merely that of the incarnated man Jesus, but that of the Great Being who by virtue of his/its/their purity of highest vibrations of Love, can truly be said to be the incarnation, embodiment, and representation of the Christ (or Love aspect of God or the Cosmos) energy that is within, nay, that truly *belongs* and *is* each and everyone of us, of the entire Cosmos. We know him by the name of Sananda. He who by his purity of Love, represents the Christ that is each and all of us. He who incarnated as the man Jesus. Again, may I suggest that the reader bookmark / add to favourites the url to my webpage here, for the words of Sananda (Jesus Christ), of Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene, and of course of our dear friend Hilarion : http://infinity.usanethosting.com/Heart.Of.God/Hilarion/Hilarion_On_JesusChrist.htm |

Dear Mairlyn,
Hilarion hasn't mentioned Maiterya specifically, in the public channelings. Though one could always ask Hilarion anything of interest in a personal Reading. If the day should come, dear Mairlyn, that you strongly feel the need to do a Hilarion Reading, and you're given symbols from your guides & helpers to encourage you to do so (the signs would be pretty clear, together with your own intention), you will surely receive the financial assistance from others around you, to help you do this. If such a day comes (for yourself, or anyone whom you know could badly use a Hilarion Reading), let us (the people on Linn's forum, on Bruce's forum, etc) know. I'm confident there are many other willing folks like us, dear Mairlyn, who would be willing to contribute a bit of $$$ each, for genuine people sincere about this. Love, Kyo wrote on May 21st, 2006 at 12:30am:

Hi Kyo et al, I do agree with the above for the most part. It's important not to get hung up on all the little details, etc, when looking at the life of Yeshua. I believe his example, his pattern is the most important part.. Yet, the above sounds like it is polarized almost completely to the right brain Archetype. One of the reasons why i really like Bruce's info, is that it seems rather balanced overall, kind of like the Hemi-Sync state. This state is where people and their happiness, growth, etc. is optimized. It seems that many are polarized to one or the other to some extent, and so there beingness and expression isn't optimal--and of course those who are of the predominant one or the other expression, believe their viewpoint is 'right', more accurate, etc. even if they don't overtly say so. Heart and Head, they need to be balanced. |

Hi All,
I was going to write some diatribe about the kerfuffle over this 'dammned' book!, but then, I came across this little item and thought - seeing as it states what I was going to write (and more), you would all like to see it.

Hi DocM,
The following link is for thee. Concerning the Magdalene Gospel. Makes interesting reading, and is quite spiritual. That is, out of the context of organised-religion. Could it be that the shift of global consciousness is a move away from the institutionalized concept of religion to a more personal understanding of what the texts actually state. Could it be that we are moving through the violent times towards a more peaceful era. Perhaps, it really is 'end-of-times', that is, end of times for ignorance.

I and a friend have been experimenting with dowsing as a means of communication with guidance. It's a yes/no medium with messages clairvoyantly added on occasion.
I asked for a guide to assist and I got someone who, in Newton's explanation of things, is a member of my immediate soul cluster. He is a junior guide and far from infallible, but accurate in things except when predicting future events with precision. I have verified several things he's said with more senior guides. "Were Jesus and Mary Magdelene lovers?" Answer: Yes. "Did they have children together?" Answer: No. I didn't get verification on these particular questions, but I'm a lot more inclined to believe him than a movie or a book. Not that any of this really matters. Rob Rob |
Title: Re: The "Da Vinci Code" and Mary Magdale Post by recoverer on May 24th, 2006 at 7:13pm
Rob Roy said that not that any of it matters. This is why I haven't taken the time to figure this issue out. I don't believe that Jesus would lose his holiness even if he was involved with a woman. Some people might not like it because of that satan at every corner thing. Ya gotta fight him all the time. ;) Doom and gloom.
Regardless of whether or not the code is a myth, it shows how easy it is to get a myth going. Especially if some people can make some money as they get it going. What's dowsing?

Hi Rob,
I've a little experience with pendulums, and know someone who has more experience. I know from both of these perspectives that questions for such things, need to be VERY specific. So, if you don't mind, could you and your friend ask another question? Something like, "Were Jesus and Mary M. lovers in a physical, sexual sense?" You might be surprised, because sometimes guides are quite literal, or like to use a situation to show us something. Anyways, Recoverer wrote Quote:
Neither do i, but there are a few reasons why i believe this wasn't the case, besides Cayce saying it wasn't. There is an interesting concept in the Cayce readings which i have experienced in life as well. A woman asked Cayce how one could lose their sex drive if they wanted too. He said that when and if during meditation the Kundalini energy consistently reaches the Pituitary gland--which corresponds to the Crown Chakra, then the drive is automatically lost. This Crown stimulation is akin to the White Light experience, and often the seeing of the White Light is an indication that the energy has fully flowed through all the Chakras. During the periods when i meditated very deeply and consistently, i noticed i didn't have any drive at all, it wasn't something i was trying to achieve or anything, it just happened. During these various times, i was in my early 20's and have had quite a drive since puberty, though i practiced moderation in this aspect of my life (partly because of excesses in other lives in this regard, which created mucho karma). But my meditation wasn't always consistent, or very deep, and after those periods, it would eventually and invaribly come back to more 'normal' again. Now it seems like Yeshua was oft in meditation and prayer, you could perhaps say that his life was one long constant meditation and prayer to a very deep and pure degree. I really don't doubt that he had a full circle of energy flowing from his Base to his Crown, in fact this is one of the things which happens when someone becomes Enlightened, there is a continual circuit created between all the glands and Chakras and the aura becomes pure White Light. So if any of the above is true, and in my experience the Cayce readings are correct on this aspect of energy, then perhaps he just didn't have a sex drive at all after a certain point? And if didn't have a sex drive, then why have a lover? It would be pretty pointless, especially since he came specifically to teach, preach, and be an example of completely impersonal love to all--to the point where he even eschewed his own family. Having a lover would somewhat interfere with this message, because lovers are of a personal love. I'm not saying that spiritual people can't have lovers, not at all, but rather if you came to the Earth for one thing and one thing only, to be an example of Universal and impersonal love, THEN it wouldn't make much sense. Remember that even at age 12 he gently lectured his mother that he came for God's work, and wasn't here for family or personal love. Besides, i believe Don brings up some rather logical points on this aspect as well. |

Whether Jesus spent time with a woman or women is inconsequential. The message of brotherly/sisterly love that he left on the earth is what remains important. His message was one of tolerance and understanding. He understood those who could not adhere to societal standards and championed the weak, the sick, the misunderstood. If Woman helped him on his way, that was a blessing to us all, and Woman helps All of Us on our Way. She is our Source here on the earth. Ain't Love Grand... :) love, blink |

John Lennon's song "Woman," comes to mind. He whispers at the beginning of the song "for the other half of the sky." I think this poetic phrase came from China (even Mao, I'm sorry to say).
Women complete men, and vice versa. People joke about tantric yoga for the sexual associations, but it is said that serious practitioners can reach enlightenment more quickly than other forms of yoga because of the blending of man and woman. How would being celibate have helped Jesus explore his humanity? It is an assumption. There is no historical fact to support Mary as a wife/lover. Yet, honestly the christian doctrine would not be besmirched one iota by a hidden relationship were it to be discovered. Matthew |
Title: Re: The "Da Vinci Code" and Mary Magdale Post by augoeideian on May 29th, 2006 at 3:35am It is said;
The Soul is She and the Spirit is Him. He is the Life that runs through the blood. He ate the Fruit from the Tree of Life. She is the Form and Knowledge. She ate the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Together they make One. He breathed Her out of Them and She Swallowed Him. He is the Knight; who at the end of His Conquest takes a seat at the Round Table with His Bride. This is the Great Return. Throughout the Ages They keep one another Alive. He seeking to fulfill His Life into Form. But Be Aware; be aware of the seductress who will issue the Knight the kiss of death to His Soul. There are two types of woman. The seductress, wishes to go on dancing outside so as to imagine herself alive and with soul. The woman, who has eaten of the Fruit, She places her eternity in the hands of Her Lover. She dies so that He may Live, because she believes in Him with faith and love, imagining that if he regains his eternity, he will make Her immortal too. The Spirit that is seduced by the seductress and does not conquer His desire in earth sets Himself and His Soul back. For His Soul is waiting, She is waiting in a tower. She is asleep on a star filled bed of cinnamon. Her dog is at Her side keeping guard. The Knight has conquered and enters Her bedchamber in the tower where She waits asleep for Him. He kisses Her. She wakes up. And They rejoice to be together again. He is filled with Her and She is filled with Him. But the Knight has still roads to travel until His Great Return and He will have to go again. It is not time for Their consummation of Marriage to take place. He lies with Her on Her bed. His sword lies between Them. It is the double edged sword. He does not touch Her and He is on Fire. She soothes Him and tells him of the tales of Their history. She takes His Fire energy into Her heart. She dreams of Him in Her tower and He dreams of Her in His heart. Because of Their Sacrifice and Love They are inseperable. He with Her in His heart will complete His tasks in each Decan to become the Risen Man, as the Christ. Upon His Great Return Their Marriage will be consummated as TwinSoul eternal and together They will sit at the Round Table.

The Da Vinci Code Part 1
=============== S: This question fits here: With all the talk about the Da Vinci Code movie, is it another attempt to divert attention from something sinister? MATTHEW: We see it as the opposite—the sinister ones would like to divert attention from the movie. In the timing of the universe, the moment is right for this story, although presented as fiction, to reach the millions of soul searchers for whom the Catholic Church's archaic rules have worn thin and allegations and lawsuits against abusive priests keep growing. The darkness within the papal hierarchy, the most deeply entrenched on the planet, will be the most shocking revelation to your world. Again I tell you, the greatest challenge to light workers will be the reactions of the religiously devout who will defend their unwavering belief in the dogma they have been taught. Your history shows that styles of political rule rise and fall, philosophies come and go, and science unanimously agreed upon gives way to new theories; but religion is God's or Allah's or Yahweh's or some deity's sacred orders and the immutable foundation of many millions' faith, and therein lies the challenge. S: Matthew, several readers have asked for guidance in "re-educating" whoever is willing to listen. MATTHEW: Many among you chose as one of your lifetime missions the enlightenment of those whose lives will be shattered when the truth about the dark origins of all religious dogmas is revealed, thus you are innately prepared for this tremendously important service. Classes to assist you will be available, but for insight in this moment, it will be most helpful for you and for those who are at all receptive if you can perceive the truthful disclosures as they do. Beyond showing compassion for their extreme distress and patience with their resistance, the wisest approach is to listen to how deeply the revelations affected them—their feelings of betrayal are both valid and strong. Some of you will be addressing large audiences and others will be helping on a one-to-one basis; many of you who are pondering a meaningful purpose in your life soon will learn this is one such purpose. It won’t be necessary to try to persuade anyone to believe as you do, and arguing about what is truth and what is lies isn’t part of your service either. Not all of the religious devout will be able to see the light of the truth. Many will be hostile, and some will resort to violence to protect the “righteousness” of their beliefs and self-assumed missionary roles; others will be deeply depressed and founder in confusion. It is likely that at some point light workers will encounter ones with those varied reactions, but again, you are innately prepared for this phase of Earth’s transition. **Excerpted from Matthew's Messages "Please click here to be added to the free mailing list if you wish ONLY Matthew's Messages: MessagesFromMatthew-subscribe@yahoogroups.com * But if you want more... Please click here for a free mailing list to "not only" receive Matthew's Messages but also Daily Spiritually uplifiting newsletter: TheLightCircleEzine-subscribe@yahoogroups.com * -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Davinci code, it is a work the author contracted to complete to asssit the people of the world open their minds, challenge traditional belief systems and bring forth more truth of what transpired at that time. When studying Jewish history most historians have found it more unusual that Jesus was not married at his age at that time in Jewish history. In addition, Jewish tradition only allowed the wife or family members to go to the tomb and that is why first contact was with Magda (Mary Magdalene), as his wife this was permssible. There is much contraversy in your society as the Jesus you understand in the Christian religions of today has in essence been remade and the teachings of the Master altered by many who wrote of him but never met or learned his teachings first hand. The closest book of truth of what was said by him is the original Gospel of St. Thomas. The patiarchial fathers who wanted to control the people through religion debased Lady Magda and turned her into a whore while they rewrote the Masters teachings to suit their need for power and control. It was a way of debasing the Mother and negating the woman's role in the Piscean Age. They also altered many of the original teachings combining them with Pagan rituals and beliefs of the time to bring more people to Chrisitanity and this what we see today. There is little truth in todays teachings of Christianity which was just an extention of the Jewish religion. Celibacy is something the Catholic Church added to Christian doctrine hundreds of years after Jesus walked the earth and led the people to believe they needed a priest or intercessor to speak with God thus increasing the power the Church had over people. So the Davinci Code is challenging many to move away from old belief systems within the Christian religion that have little basis in truth. For by simply questioning and asking if this is true they open the door to move forward in the light. Those oppossing this work and offended by it are just trying to keep Jesus as a separate, special being so that they do not have to look at the truth or accept responsibility for their path, making him a diety to worship rather than the wayshower he came to be. He is our elder brother and we are all the sons and daughters of God and he is showing us the way home. I encourage all to seek the truth for themselves and ask him personally for guidance and understanding in these matters.

Some Historical Highlights On The Origins Of Early Christianity The Da Vinci Code is quite revealing in its narrative regarding the history of The Roman Catholic Church...Its beginning are traced back to the first Council of Nicaea - 325 AD where the soon to be Church fathers had the interesting task of creating a new religion. This new religion, a religion of synthesis, was soon to be established as the official religion of the Roman Empire .The church architects choose for political purposes and for the sake of unity and simplicity only a few of the existing Gospels , disregarded the rest , and created a powerful dogmatic religion which was shrouded in mystery, the cornerstone of which was the Nicean Creed .This profound Creed was rooted in a core belief system which was presented as gospell truth. However Gnostic Christians, Qabalists , Rosicrusicans and Goddess worshippers to name but a few. did not fully subscribed to the dictates of this new Church. In the historical of narrative of The Da Vinci Code we learned more about The Roman Catholic Church... its historical attitudes toward woman , its inquisitions, its crusades and the destruction of indigenous peoples and its simultaneous amassing of great wealth and power as its hegenomy spread hand in hand with the rise of The Roman Empire.Let us say that it was the official religion of these times and was determined to maintain its monoply on "the Truth." CHURCHIANITY VS. CHRISTIANITY To deepen our understanding of Christianity one needs to make a clear distinction between Churchianity and Esoteric Christianity as expounded upon in the Qabalah and The Tarot.... One of my fundamental points regarding the difference between Churchianity and Christianity resides in our personal relationship vis-a-vie..Jesus...Jesus is to be fully acknowledged rather than worshipped...by worshipping JESUS we are in some measure giving our power away to a being who however real is in some way superior to us...More advanced for sure but not superior.. The role of any genuine Avatar or teacher is to direct one back to one's Self..As it is said in Hinduism OM Tat Sat...I am that...The truth is, as I understand it to be, IS that all the powers and divine attributes we subscribe to a being such as the master Christ Jesus is inherent within all of us... He was and is a splendid example of a fully conscious Human being... I can assure you Jesus never intended to create a powerful hierarchical church/ religion... We can thank Paul for that... He, Jesus, was amongst other things a very advanced Yogi who had a direct intimate connection with the Divine (the Father)...His primary purpose was to awaken a quite unconscious humanity to its essential divinity and majesty... He did this by anchoring the Christ energy onto the planet as well as embedding it into the noosphere of the planet and thereby redirected the spiritual trajectory of humanity! Obviously one may surmize that he was way ahead of his time!? For today we are still grappling was our less than benevolent natures...and yet the promise and/or potential is here for an ever expanding loving and compassionate consciousness... An important question one needs to ask now is has the Catholic Church truly advanced the common good of humanity !? This is a highly debatable point...One need not disregard the Church as irrelevant in that it has generated genuine saints , some of the greatest thinkers ever, (The Jesuits) ,along with an extraordinary array of some of the greatest inspired works of art ever bequeathed to humankind... Nor can one underestimate the spiritual solace which the Church offers its adherents through its sacraments , prayers and rituals. Additionally one certainly needs to acknowledge that many Catholics are doing their very best to practice and internalize the essential teachings of Christ on a daily basis....Compassion. love, forgiveness charity etc... Nor can one debate The Church's commitment to the poor..however, and this is critcal , what about the psychological liberation of its adherents ?... Does the Church promote genuine spiritual maturity or spiritual co-dependency!? This is a point of the utmost importance in evaluating the merits of the Roman Catholic Church and for that matter for any other spiritual organization! In light of this, many Catholics graduated so to speak and have chosen to leave the confines of the orthodox Church in search of a deeper more intimate spiritual life. THE HOLY GRAIL AND THE GRAIL CUP The long sought after Holy Grail is a great mystery which is central to the storyline of The Da Vinci Code..So what exactly is the Holy Grail ? And what is the Grail Cup? Two profoundly important symbols in all of Christendom... First we will discuss the Grail Cup which is a feminine symbol for the womb . In the Tarot it is symbolized by the Ace Of Cups ...This Tarot card show a chalice with light pouring down into it and overflowing within it...In the Tarot ,Cups represent the element of water which is synonomous with the emotion of Love...In psychological terms it refers to RECEPTIVITY...a decidedly feminine quality... The Holy Grail as explained in the Da Vinci Code is the womb of Mary Magdalene which carried the the holy blood of the child of Jesus ..The Holy Grail is derived from the French ..Sangreal meaning either Holy Grail and/or Royal Blood. Thus the great mystery revealed is that Mary Magdalene is the vessel or Holy Grail. In psychogical alchemical terms the search for the Holy Grail is none other than humanities search for the sacred divine within.The Holy Grail is the sanctification of the alchemical marriage, the union of the divine feminine and the divine masculine..This awareness that man has both a masculine and feminine nature was kept secret for a millenium yet this awareness was continuously revealed to all those who had eyes to see and a heart to know through various sacred alchemical symbols as contained in the writings of the Alchemists and embedded in the Tarot and The Qabalah... Through the Grail quest and its actualization through Grace (via The Holy Spirit ,Shekina ,or The Divine Mother ) one becomes impregnated with higher consciousness and thus is reborn into a more evolved state of awareness an awareness rooted in love ,wisdom and power. Through this intergration one is eternally united or reunited with the Primal Will To Good (GOD, Goddess All That Is)...and thus becomes a conscious co-creator withthe divine the source of All Love, Wisdom and Power... For me the beauty of The Da Vinci Code lies in its uncovering of a most profound and sacred love story...a story which resonated very deeply with me...Did Jesus have a lover, a wife a child!?...Why wouldn't he and if so did this in anyway diminish him as a Son Of God...to the contrary, Jesus, like any other man is both human and divine ..or better yet divinely human...Imagine the love that must have existed between Jesus and Mary Magdalene...Just imagine the depth of that love and what that love produced!.. A child no doubt !!!..Seems more than logical to me... What an extraordinary love this must have been! For Mary Magdalene saw God in him and he saw the Goddess in her... A cosmic tantric relationship which generated the fires of passion and compassion...A new age (the Piscean Age) and a new bloodline...And all this captured for all to know throughout eternity through the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci and so beautifully rendered in a most unforgettable indelible moment in this film... The revelation that Mary Magdalene was right there by his side as revealed in the "Last Supper" ...I only wish that they held that magically mystical moment longer...Indeed Jesus and Mary Magdalene were deeply in love with each other!!!... We will now view that great masterpiece " The Last Supper" in a new way with new eyes. with a depth of understanding which till now was limited..Mary Magdalene and Jesus ...Lovers ,friends, twin flames, and disciples to each other! The Da Vinci Code makes Jesus ever more human and pays homage to the the divine feminine whose life is eternally rooted in Love...as so beautifully captured in the closing moments of this remarkable movie! An homage to Mary Magdalene, Jesus's twin flame and in most probability the mother of his child! Da Vinci ,the great artist and genius left us a masterpiece of profound Beauty, Truth and Goodness...an alchemical work which speaks to the depths of our heart and soul! In addition,the power of the Da Vinci Code is that it addresses and confronts some of our core beliefs systems and for this reason The Da Vinci Code is more than a breath of much needed fresh air. It will and is serving to stimulate vigorous discussions of some profoundly interesting subjects... I.e. The origins of Christianity and the role of the Goddess throughout history... One need not be threatened by the truth and or another perspective on "The truth"..for indeed we shall know the "Truth and It Shall Set Us Free" This often recited axiom applies to all our affairs both worldly and other worldly... However "the truth" when it confronts conflicting core belief systems can be most unwelcome and disturbing, disturbing to the point that the messenger of The Good New News is vilified, and often hated..Sound familar ?..Was this not one of the main reasons Jesus was Crucified!?...The truth is that, truth great and small, can be both liberating and upsetting... In light of this awareness one may appreciate Buddhist psychology which is rooted in knowing one's own Mind and one's own truth. Commensurate within these profound teachings is the principle/attributes of non-attachment to ones own beliefs...This is a very subtle point however genuine non-attachment leads to an enlighened open, and receptive mind which is symbolized by the Grail Cup...An open receptive mind is a prerequiste to real spiritual growth. To summarize the spiritual path and the path to enlightenment requires the cultivation of receptivity (active listening/meditation), deep self inquiry and an earnest desire to know oneself first and foremost ..within this broadening understanding of Self we learn to appreciate and respect the laws which govern life and come to realize the infinitude, miracle and mystery that is life itself ... One may summarize that the purpose of life is to become ever more conscious, and in so doing and becoming, life becomes a magical mystery tour rooted in genuine Creativity, Freedom and Fun!.. No longer do we need to be Right , we simply need to Be !..To Be Ourselves... Indeed a new era is upon us as we move from recorded His Tory (history) to Her Story to Our Story ...This New Story, Our Story isthe awakening of humanity to our essential true nature as exemplified by the life and love which existed and still exists between Christ Jesus and Mary Magdalene. In this grand awakening we become individually and collectively conscious co-creators with life itself and proceed in the great work of the progressive liberation of all humanity..Health, Peace Prosperity and Freedom For All...Ah-om From this we can more deeply appreciated our own true nature which is also rooted in Truth, Beauty, Goodness, and Love. And thus we too realize that we are also keepers of the Holy Grail. Love and Blessings Da Vid MD Lightparty@aol.com * Founder The Light Party * |

Part 2
MARY MAGDALENE AND THE DAVINCI MYSTERY Worldwide Internet Broadcast Seminar SATURDAY, JUNE 10 | 3 P.M. EST www.icmerlin.com/marymagdalene ================================================ Gnosticism has now become a hot topic after Ron Howard’s new movie “The DaVinci Code,” broke almost every record for opening weekend box office ticket sales with a $224 million gate worldwide last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That’s why you may not want to miss “Mary Magdalene and the DaVinci Mystery,” Internet Broadcast seminar, June 10 by the Macchio Brothers, a Summit Lighthouse event that picks up where “The DaVinci Code” leaves off and goes far, far beyond . . . Did Jesus really marry Mary Magdalene? Was she his “twin flame?” Was Jesus really traveling and studying with Eastern teachers from age 13 to 30? Why did the church suppress key esoteric teachings on the Divine Feminine and on the nature of the soul? Did Mary Magdalene reincarnate in the 20th Century for the last time before ascending to higher spiritual octaves? If any of those questions pique your curiosity, tune into this worldwide internet broadcast with the Macchio Brothers on June 10 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. For complete details and to register for the event visit: www.icmerlin.com/marymagdalene * Scottsdale, AZ, May 20 -- Stephen and Joseph Macchio are two brothers, based respectively in Arizona and in Florida, who have been tracking the “mystery teachings” of Jesus and the Gnostic Christians for over 25 years. So, for them, The DaVinci Code is just a provocative glimpse at a veritable treasure trove of inner spiritual teachings by Jesus, suppressed by Church authorities for the past 2000 years. On Saturday, June 10, 2006, the Macchios will unveil some of these teachings in a seminar presented by The Summit Lighthouse called Mary Magdalene and the DaVinci Mystery , which will be broadcast worldwide via the Internet from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. EDT. “For example,” says Stephen Macchio, “in The DaVinci Code , we find out that Mary Magdalene was herself the real Holy Grail as the bearer of Jesus' children and the ‘royal blood' of the House of David, from which Jesus descended. Well, actually Jesus taught that each soul is potentially the bearer of the Christ Light and can become the incarnation of the Christ like Jesus. And he most likely taught these mysteries to Mary Magdalene as well as to his other close disciples.” In their seminar talk, the Macchio brothers will review the controversial parts of The DaVinci Code and why they are so controversial. But they will also move far beyond the ideas discussed in the novel to fairly recent and extensive revelations about Mary Magdalene and the inner mysteries of the Divine Feminine. These “mystery school” teachings were actually delivered in the early 1990's by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, author and renowned spiritual leader, in a landmark lecture series called "The Lost Teachings of Jesus on Women's Rights." These teachings are drawn from Mrs. Prophet's extensive historical research and from her own profound spiritual experiences. Since those lectures were delivered, the subjects of Mary Magdalene and Jesus' teachings on woman have become major topics of popular and scholarly debate. In light of this and drawing on Mrs. Prophet's writings, gathered together last year in a book called Magdalene and the Divine Feminine , the Macchios will clarify a number of these "mystery teachings" at their June 10 seminar. These will include: "The Lost Years of Jesus," i.e. when Jesus was living and studying in India, Tibet and the Far East between the years of 13 and 30; the suppressed teachings of Jesus on woman and on the true spiritual potential of the soul of both man and woman; the Divine Feminine and God as Mother; the Gnostic teachings on Male and Female; the results of the doctrines of mandatory celibacy and Original Sin insisted upon by the established church; the lesson of Christ's forgiveness of Mary Magdalene; the akashic record of Mary Magdalene as the "twin flame" of Jesus; and the reports of Jesus' second visit to the East after the Resurrection. The Macchio brothers will offer an opportunity for the international audience to ask questions at the conclusion of the seminar, which can be directed to the two speakers by email.

With happiness and gratitude I address myself to you. It moves me to see that you are so open and have an interest in making contact with me. I represent the acknowledgment and honoring of your feminine essence, both in women and in men. The interest in me and in what I represent grows day by day. There are ever more people who long for the healing of the feminine energy in themselves and the world. The appearance and the success of the book The Da Vinci Code of author Dan Brown are connected with this. This book playfully explores who I am. The author plays masterfully with the longing for healing of the feminine in every person. All incidents in the book and the storyline form a metaphor for all situations and processes which people on Earth create to enter into contact with their femininity. At this moment, the feminine energy is the most important element on Earth which needs healing. All different conflicts which are going on among people on Earth in essence have to do with this. The healing of the feminine 'makes everything fall into place,' and it is the missing element for solving the puzzle of the great human conflicts on Earth at this time. It speaks so completely for itself and it is so indispensable for many. In this book a self-evident truth is revealed in a complex manner. When everything falls into place it appears self-evident and not complex at all. The fact that Jesus and I form a couple, that we had children and that as a family of light we form a foundation for the healing of the human heart is a very natural truth. In and of itself humanity has no need for codes to be able to observe and accept that. The fears of femininity and of the unity between man and woman which people have developed throughout many centuries, make that this 'natural' truth often was not seen. These fears were the cause that in the course of human history people did not dare speak openly about the feminine. Only in a concealed manner and sometimes by codes could the feminine be named and given a valuable place. People are afraid of their true essence, are afraid to connect with each other, and are afraid of intimacy and for the power of their own sexuality, but in the end it is their own Divine heart of which they have the most fear, and for which they long at the same time. The feminine energy says that you may love yourself, that you are perfect, complete and Divine. The feminine represents seeing the Divine in everything that exists. The feminine represents the power of 'being,' the masculine stands for the power of 'doing,' establishing something, building something. The feminine principle does not have to prove or achieve anything to be valuable. You are perfect just as you are. The masculine represents establishing things, manifesting this perfection in the world. You people often walk a complicated path to come to this simple truth.Your paths sometimes resemble a thriller, with all the changes and surprises that go with that. In a thriller like The Da Vinci Code there is a creative play on the theme of 'good and evil.' What seems 'good' can turn into 'evil' and vice-versa. Friend and foe change places and so do victims and victimizers. The passion displayed by the main characters, masculine and feminine, represents the passion with which you, men and women, seek for the healing of the feminine principle and the balance between the masculine and the feminine. The indications in your heart are not complicated, on the contrary are very self-evident. What makes it complex is the resistance which you feel against accepting and permitting this natural harmony between the masculine and feminine. It is about the natural ability of giving and receiving. The man gives and the woman receives, let things mature, 'gives birth' and gives back. This is how in fact all of creation arises. In the course of different lives you have made decisions and created beliefs which conceal these natural truths. Your quest to unravel this web of blockages and convictions can be compared to deciphering a code. The code in your own consciousness. There is a much simpler method to reveal this web which has been woven in the course of your own history individually as well as collectively, and that is to pray to me, Mary Magdalene as representative of the Divine and the feminine principle, and also to Jesus and Mary Magdalene as Divine Couple, as representatives of harmony of the masculine and feminine. By praying to us you engage a higher dimension of consciousness which penetrates all blocks like a beam of light. By establishing the intention to heal these aspects, the healing is already activated. You don't need any code for that, only the desire of your heart for the experience of your own Divinity. For that Jesus and I, Mary Magdalene stand at the ready, in order to support and guide you. In Part I and Part II of our books Revelations of Mary, Jesus and Mary Magdalene - About the Divinity of Mankind there are several prayers to awaken the forces we represent in your heart. Dear Mary Magdalene Divine woman Have mercy on me and awaken within me Help me to heal and to value the feminine principle within me In all the depths of my being, in my fellow human beings and in everything on Earth Amen Dear Mary Magdalene and Jesus Divine couple Have mercy on me And awaken within me Help me to heal, to value and to integrate The feminine and masculine principle In all the depths of my being In my fellow human being and in everything on Earth Amen" Prayer to a higher source of love Mary, Jesus and Mary Magdalene: "If you feel inhibited due to unpleasant experiences in the past, you can also pray to be allowed to divest yourself of them. When you pray you are prepared to surrender yourself to a greater awareness of love, making all the cells in the body and all the different levels of energy in man resonate on a higher frequency. You are elevated into an awareness of love. Enjoy it. You may pray for anything - for very important matters in life as well as for small things. The more you pray the easier your life becomes and the happier you will feel. "What kind of prayer can you use? Basically, any prayer that is addressed to a higher source of love. You can pray directly to God. You can address yourself to a spiritual master. You can also make your own prayer from the heart. You can also pray to us - Mary, Jesus and Mary Magdalene. And for this purpose we wish to share some prayers with you that have a high energy frequency and a special power." Prayer to God Almighty God I ask you In the name of Jesus Christ your son Have mercy upon me Amen "Say this several times and let it register. You can also request something else you may need. And this could be anything. You can make your request at the end of the prayer, as follows:" Have mercy upon me and help me with ......... Prayer to Jesus Christ "You can also pray directly to Jesus Christ." Dear Jesus Christ Son of God Have mercy upon me Amen Jesus: "Let this prayer register as well. And know that I, Jesus, love you; that I descended on to Earth to share love with you. That we are one together. I did not visit Earth to accuse you or to declare you sinful or imperfect. I came to remind you that love is the power of the universe to unify and that you have that power within you as well." "Being the 'Son of God' is a manifestation of the creative power of God, i.e., the given shape of the will of God. All that exists is Divine and created by God. Everyone is actually a son or daughter of God. Every person is in an awareness process to realise that he or she is God. Realise that you are a child (a creation) of God and at the same time you are God yourself. You have created yourself. You yourself are the trinity: the Father (the creator), the Son (the reation) and the Holy Spirit (the creative power)." "You and I are one and the same. When you are afraid of me, when you have an aversion towards me and when you feel guilty or accused, we lose each other. And then we too - the spiritual masters - lose the essence of our existence. It is perfectly alright to approach me and awaken the source of love within yourself. Then our mission on Earth will be fulfilled. We journey together to our own essence, yours and mine, for they are the same. But first some more prayers; for these, I would like first of all to call upon my beloved Mary Magdalene." Prayer to Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene: "Dear brothers and sisters, I have come a long way to reach you. But here I am, a Divine woman. The world is ready for me now. And the world needs me to come into balance, to heal. What is one half without the other? Like a table with only half its legs that loses its balance and topples over. And that is what has happened to the world. By denying me for the past two thousand years, the world has become very much unbalanced. Look around you, and look within yourself and you will notice it. You have come far in your consciousness to be ready for me, to be able to accept the female principle; this is why I have come. Look at me with respect and admiration. Open your heart of love to me, allow me into your life. I bring warmth into the heart, equilibrium and harmony between the masculine and the feminine. Both men and women can summon my energy by means of the following prayer." Dear Mary Magdalene Divine woman Have mercy upon me and awaken in me Help me to heal and appreciate the female principle within me In all the depths of my being, in my fellow man and in everything on Earth Amen "Let this prayer register. We will discuss the communication to and fro between the male and female principles and its greater significance elsewhere in this book (see Revelations 11 and 12). But first I now call upon my mother, Mary, to speak." Prayer to Mary Mary: "Dear children, I have come to take you onto my lap. To ease your sorrow and worries. To awaken the flame in your heart. I am the female and motherly principle. I am the Divine mother from which all is created. I am the holy womb that gives birth and brings life to all. In this womb I also bear you, so that you can feel you are perfect and recognise and acknowledge yourself as such. It is completely alright to call upon me at any time in your life. My love is infinite and you may drink it in. Invoke me in your heart and I will be there because I am actually always there. By invoking me you will become aware of this. You can appeal to me in the following way." Dear Mary Divine mother of Heaven and Earth Have mercy upon me Awaken the love in my heart for all that exists and for myself Help me to live with an open mind like a Divine child That is amazed about everything And that treats everything in this Heavenly paradise with love and respect Help me to let my Divine essence awaken completely To be who I actually am in Heaven and on Earth And that your love and my love, dear Mother, may be one For now and forever Amen "Let this prayer resound within you. It can heal everything within you at all levels. You have many unnecessary tensions, fears and worries in your life. It is now time to let them go. Surrender them to us. Let yourself be supported by us. This prayer will help you to do so. It is advisable to learn the Prayer to Mary by heart and to say it to yourself several times a day. The Prayer to Mary contains all the aspects required to make a connection with the Divine world. We will now look at the various parts of the Prayer in more detail. 'Dear Mary, Divine mother of Heaven and Earth' "This first sentence makes it clear that the energy of Mary is present all over the universe and that it is an essential and inextricable part of all that exists. It is the energy of the Heavenly mother that is present in Divine powers and therefore also in you. 'Have mercy upon me.' "With this you request the power of Mary to connect with you. You become aware of the connection that in fact already exists. The energy of Mary is already present in everyone's heart. By saying the prayer you make the connection that activates this energy. 'Awaken the love in my heart for all that exists and for myself.' "Only if your hearts open up and you love yourself unconditionally can you love others. Then there is true love. Until that time you can only look for yourself in others. And then you will never find yourself. Only if you grant yourself love and give yourself the attention that you like to seek so often in others will you create the basis for love in life. A love that you can later share with others. 'Help me to live with an open mind like a Divine child that is amazed about everything.' "The feeling that you 'need nothing' to feel valuable is the basis of the love for yourself. That feeling comes by embracing and accepting, unconditionally and without criticism, the welcome and less welcome aspects in your heart with love. If you have that feeling, you need no acceptance from others to feel peace in your heart. You are OK! There is nothing wrong with you, and you know it. That is the basis for the safe feeling of 'being open-minded'. It is a childlike feeling. Being open-minded creates room for amazement. Amazement about others, amazement about the world in all its beauty and Divinity. Experience them with joy and take pleasure in them! 'And that treats everything in this Heavenly paradise with love and respect.' "Amazement is another word for love and respect. Connection is love, appreciation is respect. True love and respect can develop only from an open-minded heart with no hidden agendas. 'Help me to let my Divine essence awaken completely, To be who I actually am in Heaven and on Earth' "You are Divine beings. Becoming aware of this brings you in touch with your true self, both in heavenly form (consciousness) and in earthly form (incarnation). Together they are an entity. 'And that your love and my love, dear Mother, may be one' "If you are in contact with Mary in your heart, you experience bliss and compassion. Compassion is pure love and acceptance. The awakening of Mary in your own heart is the awakening of compassion in yourself. You and I, Mary, are one. Then our love is one. 'For now and forever' "From the third dimension of time and space, via the way of compassion, you proceed to the fourth dimension beyond space and time. And then on to the fifth dimension of unconditional love. 'Amen' "With this you state your intention and call up universal powers of love that help you realise your prayer." The I Am God Proclamation Mary, Jesus and Mary Magdalene: "By pronouncing the following proclamation you can make use of the creative force in order to express your Divinity in the world: I am a Divine being and everything in me is holy and perfect I open my heart to embrace everything within me and love it I accept myself unconditionally on all levels I am allowed to fully be myself I am allowed to fully manifest myself in the world I am allowed to have all my needs met I am allowed to be wholly loved I enjoy myself profusely, and others, and life itself I love others unconditionally I love myself unconditionally I am God (from Revelation 25 The Divinity of Mankind Part II which will be published in the summer of 2006) Quote by Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene: "I have come to heal the female energy on Earth, to show what the essence of the female is and what the essence is of all the possibilities that a woman has within her. I have come to do better justice to all the subtle elements that are present in every woman on Earth. The same applies to the female aspect in every man, which can be brought into balance with his male energy."
