DOCTRINE SEVEN
DOCTRINE ON LORD CHRIST AND LADY CHRIST
Although Jah (God) and Jahlah (Goddess) remain outside the circumference of the Mother Ovum (the ‘Mother Ovum’ is the Universe), they birthed – by direct emanation – the Lord Christ and Lady Christ to represent them in the Mother Ovum. Because he is the only Being directly emanated by Jah, the Lord Christ is referred to as the Only Directly Begotten Son of Jah. Likewise, because she is the only Being directly emanated by Jahlah, the Lady Christ is referred to as the Only Directly Begotten Daughter of Jahlah.
The transcendental personal name of the Lord Christ is Jahday, though he is known by countless names in countless worlds. He is also called Immanuel, which means God Immanent in Creation. In Nasarean theology, Jahday is in fact considered to be God Immanent, because he was directly emanated by Jah to represent Jah in the Mother Ovum. Jah is called God Transcendent for he is the source of God Immanent and resides outside of the Mother Ovum in a realm called Heaven Most High. Another Hebrew name by which the Lord Christ is known is ‘Oholiy’ab, which means Tent of His Father. And, two thousand years ago on earth, he was called Yahshua, though that name was altered and came down to us in English as ‘Jesus’. (‘Jesus’ is a Greek-English corruption of the Hebrew name Yahshua.)
The transcendental personal name of the Lady Christ is Jahnah, though she is known by countless names in countless worlds. She is also called Immanuelah, which means Goddess Immanent in Creation. In Nasarean theology, Jahnah is in fact considered to be Goddess Immanent, because she was directly emanated by Jahlah to represent Jahlah in the Mother Ovum. Jahlah is called Goddess Transcendent for she is the source of Goddess Immanent and resides outside of the Mother Ovum in a realm called Heaven Most High. Another Hebrew name by which the Lady Christ is known is ‘Oholiybah, which means Tent of Her Mother. And, two thousand years ago on earth, she was called Miriam of Magdala, though that name came down to us in English as ‘Mary Magdalene’. (‘Mary’ is an English corruption of the Hebrew name Miriam.)
The first two children of Jah-Jah (‘Jah-Jah’ is a Nasarean term by which we conveniently refer to both Jah and Jahlah at the same time) were given the assignment of creating the countless children of the Mother Ovum (the ‘Mother Ovum’ – Em Beytsah in Hebrew – means ‘Mother Egg’ and is the Nasarean term for our universe). Thus, Jahday (the Lord Christ) and Jahnah (the Lady Christ) are the Children of Jah-Jah, but they are the Mother and Father of all other created Beings.
Besides their role as creators within the Mother Ovum, the Lord Christ and Lady Christ were assigned the role of Saviors. The work of Salvation is a manifestation of Mercy. The Lord Christ and Lady Christ are the Hands of Mercy of Jah-Jah, and those who join the Lord and Lady in this work also become Hands of Mercy.
Beings whom join with the Lord and Lady to help them in their mission of mercy become ‘christed’, which is to enter the Christ Family. The Essene Church of Christ is a manifestation of the Christ Family, established by the Lord and Lady via the assistance of human beings whom have affiliated with them. Thus, Essene Church of Christ is a circle of disciples of the Lord Christ and Lady Christ. We worship them and study their teachings, that we may better serve them. We are their Hands of Mercy on Planet Earth. In their role as Saviors, the Lord and Lady establish such circles of disciples all over the universe, for our world is but one of countless worlds.
COMMENTARY ON DOCTRINE SEVEN
In the following section of Nasarean Genesis, the plan by Jah-Jah to emanate a Son and Daughter to represent them in The Mother Ovum is described:
Yea, We will give life to the Mother Ovum
by surrounding it as a circumference, that
it may expand into Us. Lo: if We abandon
the circumference the Ovum will surely
die. Therefore We will remain at the
circumference, and each being who cracks the
Mother Ovum will enter Heaven Most High.
But we who make the decision to grant The
Great Freedom realize that great pain may
result and desire to be with our children even
inside The Mother Ovum. And though We
can not abandon the circumference, neither
shall We abandon Our children. Thus, Jah
and Jahlah will each emanate a portion of
Ourselves to represent Us in The Mother Ovum.
Yea, Jah will emanate a portion of Himself
which will be the First Son of Jah,
and Jahlah will emanate a portion of Herself
which will be the First Daughter of Jahlah.
And the First Son of Jah will be the only
Son of Jah directly begotten by Jah.
And the First Daughter of Jahlah will be the only
Daughter of Jahlah directly begotten by Jahlah.
For the First Son and the First Daughter
shall be the Masculine Archetype
and the Feminine Archetype through
which all other beings shall be created.
Thus shall the First Son of Jah be Father
of All within the Mother Ovum but Son
of Jah in Heaven Most High.
And thus shall the First Daughter of Jahlah
be the Mother of All within the Mother Ovum
but Daughter of Jahlah in Heaven Most High.
And the Name of the First Son who is the Father
within the mother Ovum shall be Jahday.
And He will also be called ‘Oholiy’ab,
for he is the Tent of His Father.
And He shall be called Immanuel,
for He is God Immanent in Creation.
And He will be called many names in many worlds.
And the Name of the First Daughter who is the Mother
within the Mother Ovum shall be Jahnah.
And she will be called ‘Oholibah,
for she is the Tent of Her Mother.
And she shall be called Immanuelah,
for She is Goddess Immanent in Creation.
And She shall be called many names in many worlds.
Yes, she will be called many names on many worlds. Unfortunately for our world, most of us called her Whore! (The details of how that came to happen will be provided later in this commentary. And yes, I am hinting that the name of the Only Directly Begotten Daughter of Jah-Jah, when she walked our world, was in fact: MARY MAGDALENE! Well, actually it was Miriam of Magdala, but I will explain that later!)
Most Christians and Jews are familiar with the biblical prophecy that, when the Christ-Messiah came to our world, he would be called Immanuel. That Hebrew word means: God immanent in creation. Though Jesus (Yahshua) was not named Immanuel upon birth, millions of people have come to believe that he was in fact God immanent in creation. Thus, that prophecy came true. Now I will declare another prophecy: I declare that, with the distribution in our world of the Nasarean Bible of the Essene Way (which has never before been widely distributed; in earlier centuries it was banned and those who possessed it were killed), a group of disciples of both the Lord Christ and the Lady Christ will gather together, AND IMMANUELAH – which means Goddess immanent in creation – WILL BE WORSHIPPED AS MOTHER, not scorned as harlot! This group of disciples of the Lord and Lady will be small during my lifetime, but will grow as the years roll by: for, there is nothing as powerful as an idea whose time has come! And the time has come for the Mother to take her place alongside the Father in the throne room of your heart….
Yes, the Son of Jah and the Daughter of Jahlah, are the Children of Jah-Jah, but, in relation to you and I, they are Parents. The reason they are called the ONLY directly begotten children of Jah-Jah, is that they are the only children DIRECTLY EMANATED by Jah-Jah. Thus, in relation to Jah-Jah, they are children. But those first two children of Jah-Jah were given the assignment of creating the countless children of The Mother Ovum – us! Thus, Jahday and Jahnah, are the Children of Jah-Jah, but they are the Mother and Father of every other Being ever created!
Now, if you wonder whether or not the above constitutes incest – Jahday and Jahnah, the only directly begotten children of Jah-Jah, having transcendental intercourse to create us – the following passage from Nasarean Genesis will disabuse you of that concern:
“And because the First Son is directly emanated
by Jah, and the First Daughter by Jahlah,
and are not the product of intercourse of Jah-Jahlah,
the Son and the Daughter are eligible for intercourse
with each other; otherwise such intercourse of the
Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine would be
incest and would be unlawful.
Which is why Jah Himself emanated Jahday
without intercourse with Jahlah, and
why Jahlah Herself emanated Jahnah
without intercourse with Jah.
And this is why Jah said: “When Jahday,
the Only Directly Begotten Son of Jah,
has union with Jahnah, He will take within Himself
the feminine element of Jahlah,
and will then always be of both Jah and Jahlah.”
And this is why Jahlah said: “When Jahnah,
the Only Begotten Daughter of Jahlah,
has union with Jahday, She will take within Herself
the masculine element of Jah,
and will then always be of both Jah and Jahlah.”
The above passage is likely the origin of the various legends in world religions of a VIRGIN BIRTH. The latter portion of the above excerpt is important because it illuminates the fact that though Jahday was emanated by the Father and Jahnah emanated by the Mother, each will be of BOTH THE FATHER AND MOTHER once they have union (spiritual intercourse). At that time, Jahnah will take within her the masculine element, and Jahday the feminine element.
In the next passage the twofold purpose of Jahday and Jahnah is made clear. They are to be Creators and Saviors within the Mother Ovum (Em Beytsah):
And Jah and Jahlah agreed: “They will be
Creators and They will be Saviors; for, They will
create Beings and They will save Beings,
according to Our will. Yea, They shall be
the hands of Mercy which will reach out
to those who have stumbled upon The Golden Ladder.
For, lo: Not all will choose wisely within The Great
Freedom, and We desire to reach out from Heaven
Most High even to those in the Most Low Hell.
Yea, We shall reach out to every world within Em
Beytsah, and Jahday and Jahnah will be Our Hands.”
Next we are treated to a beautiful passage describing the First Family:
Jah and Jahlah agreed,
“We are the Two which are One,
and the One which is Two.
And with Our only begotten children,
Jahday and Jahnah,
we become Four united as One.
The Four are the First Family
and within the First Family
are Two Gods and Two Goddesses:
Jah is God Transcendent
and Jahday is God Immanent;
and Jahlah is Goddess Transcendent
and Jahnah is Goddess Immanent.
Yea, We are the First Family.
And the First Family is an Expanding Family.
For the Four expand to become the All.
And the name of Our family is the name of
the All. And the name of the All is YHWH.
And that name is the name which includes
all names; therefore that name is HaShem….”
The Hebrew term HaShem means THE NAME and implies The Name which includes every name. That term is linked to the tetragrammaton – YHWH – because that is the term for THE ALL. Each Being – including God and Goddess but also including you and I – simultaneously enjoys two truths: 1) We are each an individual Being; we do not finally merge with God or The All in such a way as to end our existence as a personal Being; 2) We are each always a part of the ONE EXPANDING UNIVERSAL BEING, the interconnected whole which is ALL. The terms HaShem and YHWH refer to the second truth above.
In the following excerpt we are told that there were infinite ways by which God (Jah) and Goddess (Jahlah) might have created the universe, but they chose THEIR WAY. Then we are given an account of their setting Their Plan into motion. This excerpt will culminate with the actual ‘birth’ of Jahday and Jahnah, the Only Directly Begotten Children of Jah-Jah. We read:
Lo: within the Infinite Field of All Possibilities
there were countless ways by which
creation might have been created.
But from amongst all those ways,
Jah and Jahlah chose Their Way.
Yea, this was The Way of Jah and Jahlah,
our Jah-Jah.
And they knew it was good.
And they felt it was good.
And it was good.
Having conceived Their Plan,
Jah and Jahlah activated Their Plan.
Yea, in transcendental embrace,
Jah and Jahlah, our Jah-Jah,
set in motion Their Plan.
And Their Plan was Their Way.
And Their Way was Good….”
Jah-Jah was All.
There was no place that was not Jah-Jah.
So that there would be Space for others to Be,
Jah-Jah performed Tzimtzum, self-constriction.
Yea, Jah-Jah self-constricted,
condensing to a point of Jah-Jah.
And the space where Jah-Jah had been before Tzimtzum,
the space from which Jah-Jah had withdrawn,
was a void of empty space.
And this was according to the will of Jah-Jah.
Jah-Jah was now One Point at the center of a
void of empty space. The One Point
was the Oneness of Jah and Jahlah in
embrace. Lo: the One Point was the merging of
the Two which are One, and the One which is Two
for the purpose of Creative Expansion. For though the
Original Condition of Yah was One, One was always
pregnant with Two, and Two with Three,
and Three with Four;
and this is YHWH,
the All which is Many and One,
One and Many.
At the center of the void Jah spoke one holy word,
“Jahday”, and Jahday came forth as The Word of Jah.
And Jahlah exhaled one holy breath, “Jahnah”,
and Jahnah came forth as The Breath of Jahlah….”
At the end of the above excerpt from Nasarean Genesis, Jahday (the Son) is called THE WORD of Jah, and Jahnah (the Daughter) is called THE BREATH of Jahlah. We know that early Christianity affirmed Jesus (Yahshua) to be the human incarnation of THE WORD, and also THE SON OF GOD. But what about the Daughter? Although it is a lost tradition, traces remain in the orthodox Judaeo-Christian scriptures of the Nasarean worship of the Divine Feminine. Consider the following facts. The Hebrew term for The Holy Spirit is Ruah HaKodesh. That term is feminine due to the fact that Ruah, the Hebrew word typically translated as Spirit, is in feminine form (ending with ah). When the feminine Hebrew term Ruah HaKodesh was translated into the Greek Old Testament (The Septuagint) and Greek New Testament, is was put into neuter gender. Then, when the Greek Bible was translated into English, the Holy Spirit was referred to as He. Thus, the Holy Spirit went from being feminine in the original Hebrew, to being neutered in the Greek, and then made masculine in English! But there is even more to consider. The literal meaning of the Hebrew word Ruah is not Spirit but Breath. Thus, a literal translation of the Hebrew term Ruah HaKodesh would not be Holy Spirit but Holy Breath. And that ties in perfectly with the above passage from Nasarean Genesis wherein the Only Begotten Daughter (Jahnah) is called THE BREATH of Jahlah. Jahnah is called The Holy Breath because, as the above scripture declared: “And Jahlah exhaled one holy breath, ‘Jahnah’, and Jahnah came forth as The Breath of Jahlah….” To take this even further, the Biblical Hebrew word for Dove is Jonah, and the Nasarean name Jahnah means Dove of Jah-Jah. In the Hebrew, Greek, and English versions of the mainstream Bible, the Dove is associated with the Holy Spirit. Even in religious artwork through the centuries, the Dove has symbolized the Holy Spirit. Thus, the origin of that symbology is NASAREAN GENESIS, in which JAHNAH (the Dove) is referred to as The Holy Breath (i.e. Holy Spirit).
And before we end this article we will see that in the same way that Jesus (Yahshua) was the human incarnation of THE WORD, so was Mary Magdalene (Miriam of Magdala) the incarnation of THE HOLY BREATH.
In the following passage we are treated to a profoundly beautiful account of the anointing of Jahday and Jahnah as Lord Christ and Lady Christ:
Before leaving Jahday on the Throne of
Masculine Light at the Center of Empty Space,
and before leaving Jahnah on the Throne of
Feminine Light at the Center of Empty Space,
to ascend Their own thrones in Heaven Most High
--which heaven is outside the Mother Ovum
and surrounds the Mother Ovum --
Jah-Jah anointed Them with the Water of Life,
which is of the Tears of Jah-Jah.
Yea, these tears were shed because Jah and Jahlah
so loved the world that They gave Their only
begotten children as the Hands of Mercy,
which are Christ-Messiahs,
even knowing that They would be crucified again
and again, repeatedly and in diverse ways
upon countless crosses
of countless realms and worlds
of endless space and time
by those who,
within the context of The Great Freedom,
would make unwise choices
resulting in fathomless pain and sadness,
resulting in The Merciful Intervention in
the Darkness of Ignorance
by the Word and Breath of Mercy,
which is the Lord Christ and Lady Christ.
Lo: the Water of Life
is of the Tears of Jah-Jah
which are the Tears of Compassion
shed not only for Jahday and Jahnah,
but for all Beings whom will ever experience
pain for any reason, deserved or not,
in all the realms and all the times of fathomless
duration within the Mother Ovum.
Yea, but the Tears of Jah-Jah
are also Tears of Joy,
shed in the awareness that the Great Pain
of Evolution will be transcended by countless
Beings whom, over the course of fathomless duration, will pierce ovum after ovum,
eventually piercing even the Mother Ovum,
joining Jah and Jahlah in Heaven Most High,
as friends, co-workers, and playmates,
and joining Jahday and Jahnah as Christ-Messiahs,
for the salvation of all sentient Beings….
The above passage is one of the most touching sections of scripture we will find anywhere! Several comments must be made. In order to understand the above verses, we must realize what the word Christ means. The English word Christ is from the Greek word Christos which means Anointed. The Greek Christos is a translation of the Hebrew word Mashiakh which means Anointed. The English word Messiah is from the Hebrew Mashiakh. Thus, all these words mean the same thing: ANOINTED. In the ancient days, when a King sent a messenger or representative on a mission in his name, or consecrated a person to a high office, he Anointed them – usually their head – with oil. Thus, any person sent on a mission by the King was a Mashiakh, as was anyone else who experienced this sort of anointing ritual. However, when we use the term with great emphasis – THE Mashiakh -- we are speaking of a special messenger of a special King: We are speaking of the Messenger of King/Queen Jah-Jah. In the Nasarean tradition, we are speaking of the Only Begotten Son of Jah (Jahday) and the Only Begotten Daughter of Jahlah (Jahnah). In our tradition, they are the Lord Christ and the Lady Christ. They were anointed not with ordinary oil, but with THE WATER OF LIFE.
In the above excerpt we find the origin of the famous verses from the Gospel of John which millions of children in Sunday School classes have been required to memorize: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son….” But in the original Nasarean version, it is not only God but God and Goddess doing the giving, and it is not only the Son but also the Daughter that is given. And they are given not only to this planet, but to all worlds. [While it might seem impossible for two Beings – the Lord Christ and the Lady Christ – to cover all that territory (all worlds of endless space and time), making appearances on countless planets, the answer to that objection is given in a later section of the Nasarean Bible: the Lord Christ explains that he and the Lady Christ can appear in more than one place at a time, in various bodies in various worlds, simultaneously!]
In the next excerpt from Nasarean Genesis, the center branch of the Tree of Life is created when Jah and Jahlah ascend and pierce the Mother Ovum, leaving Jahday and Jahnah as Creators and Saviors within the Mother Ovum:
Jah-Jah ascended from the center of the Mother
Ovum to the circumference, piercing the circumference
and surrounding the circumference. Lo: outside and
surrounding the Mother Ovum, Jah-Jah established
Heaven Most High, the Ultimate Paradise.
Behold: with Their ascension from the Center of the
Mother Ovum into Heaven Most High, Jah-Jah left
Behind a trail for all to follow; and that trail is The
Golden Ladder. And The Golden Ladder is also The
Center Branch of The Tree of Life. Yea, the Center
Branch is the path of ascension which leads from
the center of every ovum to Heaven Most High.
And this path must be walked in the Word of Jah-Jah
which is Jahday, and in the Breath of Jah-Jah which
is Jahnah…. Lo: the soul who sees this truth, is
the soul whom gazes deeply inward. Such inward
gazing is called Tzafah.
NOW COMES THE BEGINNING OF CREATION WITHIN OUR UNIVERSE! Remember, the Nasarean term for our universe is Em Beytsah, which means Mother Ovum. Jah and Jahlah are now outside the Mother Ovum in their realm called Heaven Most High. They have left their Only Begotten Children, Jahday and Jahnah, in the center of the Mother Ovum, to be Creators and Saviors. Now that creation begins! We read in Nasarean Genesis:
In the Center of the Mother Ovum, Jahday and
Jahnah embraced in ecstacy. Lo: The Word of
Jah-Jah and the Breath of Jah-Jah were united
As One. Yea, Jahnah felt, and knew, that the
Word of Jah was within Her, and Jahday knew,
and felt, that the Breath of Jahlah was within Him.
Before the beginning of Their Dance, the Mother Ovum
was Bohu, a dark void of desolate emptiness. And
this void was Tohu, without form. And this void was dark
because there was yet no Light of Illumination.
And this void was desolate because the Spirit of Yah was
with Elohim in Tzimtzum. Then, bursting outward
in ecstacy from Tzimtzum into Bohu, the Spiral
Dance of Creation began. Behold: Elohim Karim!
Elohim Dances!
Elohim danced the Karar HaAur, the Dance of Light,
a whirling motion with the sound of a hum.
And the hum of the Light Dance is the music
of Their Dance. And the music of Their Dance
is one with the lyrics of Their Song. And
those lyrics are the words sang by They Who
Dance. And They Who Dance are Jahday and Jahnah,
our God and Goddess Immanent, Elohim.
And the lyrics They sing while They dance the
Dance of Light are The Words of Light:
“Yehi Aur!” Which means, “Let there be Light!”
Lo, Elohim sang “Let there be Light!” and there
was Light! And Elohim knew that the Light
was Good. And when the Light entered
Bohu, the Darkness of the Void, the Light
Comprehended the Darkness, but the darkness
comprehended not the Light. And the Spiral
Dance was the Sa’arah, the Whirlwind. And the
Whirlwind was the Breath of Yah upon the
Void, the Air of Being blowing upon the
Void of Non-Being. And from the Sa’arah
came forth Sparks of Light, Nitzot haAur.
And each Spark of Light is a Seed of Light,
a Zera’ haAur.
And each Seed of Light is a Soul, a Nephesh,
a Spiritual Being. Behold: Elohim created
each Being in the embryonic image and likeness
of Elohim, male and female, each wearing Yah
as a Crown of Glory. And the image is manifest
in the Attributes….
Yea, Jahday and Jahnah danced Their Dance of
Creation! In the balance of Their Embrace They
Danced. And always the Center of Their Dance
was Yah, which is I AM, which is Their Oneness,
which is the Crown of Glory. Lo: Their Balance
was not without motion; it was balance in motion:
He spun around Her, and She around He, and
always they were centered in Yah. Lo: Yah is the
Center of the All and of every part of the All!
Yah is the Center of the Masculine Aspect and
the Feminine Aspect; for, behold: those aspects
exist for the expansion of Yah and the bliss of Yah
according to the Gracious Wish. And this is YHWH.
Yea, YHWH is The Great Dance of Creation.
Jahday and Jahnah danced in ecstacy!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! In the passages that follow the above in Nasarean Genesis -- which are not included in this commentary -- Jahday and Jahnah (together they are called Elohim) continue their dance of creation, dancing sacred geometries and weaving them with other sacred geometries, creating letters, and numbers, and forms, and principles… and finally worlds. But now we are going to shift gears a bit; we are going to focus on one particular world – this one – and the Messianic incarnation of THE LADY CHRIST. I have already alluded to the Nasarean belief that she came as MARY MAGDALENE and was harshly rejected by the people. In the paragraphs that follow, I will support those assertions. We will still depend on excerpts from the Nasarean Bible of the Essene Way, but will also quote extensively from the writings of various scholars and other non-canonical gospels. Our first step will be to demonstrate that the Nasarean “Old Testament” prophesized that the Lady Christ (Jahnah) would make a messianic incarnation alongside of the Lord Christ, but would be rejected. Fascinatingly, we will learn that her incarnation would be that of the Magdal-Eder (the word can be spelled either Magdal or Magdalah) and that traces of that prophecy remain today in the mainstream Bible Book of Micah. While many of us experience some sadness when we consider how badly the Lady Christ was treated when she came as the Magdalene, we will conclude this article on a very positive note: WE WILL LEARN THAT THE NASAREAN BIBLE FORETELLS ANOTHER COMING OF THE LORD CHRIST AND LADY CHRIST TO THIS WORLD, AND DECLARES THAT THIS TIME SHE – and He -- WILL BE EMBRACED BY MANY! (In fact, the publication of the Nasarean Bible of the Essene Way, which will soon occur, will be the first step in preparing a group of devoted disciples to receiver her when she comes.) This article will end with an invitation to accept the Lady Christ into your heart, here and now! By so doing, you can help prepare the way for her return to this world!
In regard to WHY Jahday (the Son) and Jahnah (the Daughter) would take incarnation on Earth, their roles as Lord Christ and Lady Christ demanded it. You see, our planet suffered a Luciferian attack at its very inception. Negative entities called Saraphim came to Earth in what the Nasarean scripture calls Skyships (spacecraft?) and began interfering with the natural course of evolution on this planet. Among other negative activities, the Luciferians launched hideous genetic experiments, introducing their seed into the human genetic pool. Worst of all, they taught early humanity to kill and sacrifice both animals and humans, and to eat animal flesh. The intervention of the Lord Christ and Lady Christ was necessary to counter the negative activities of the Luciferians.
The initial Luciferian attack, in which they attempted to prevent the planting of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, is described in the following passage from Nasarean Genesis:
On the evening of the Seventh Day, having held
Shabat, Abraham and Sa’arah made ready to
plant the seed of the Tree of Life in the center
of the Garden of Eden. Abraham held the seed in
his bag of seed and Sa’arah held the soil in her
bowl of germination. Abraham, High Priest
of the Temple of Light, which Temple is within
the Sun, raised up his staff and recited the words
of prayer and invocation for the planting of the
holy seed. And Sa’arah, High Priestess of the
Temple of Light, which Temple is the Sun, raised
up her bowl and recited the words of prayer and
invocation. Then Abraham planted the seed of the
Tree of Life in Sa’arah’s bowl. But, behold:
before Sa’arah had germinated the seed in
her bowl, yea, before she had opened her bag
of water and moved the seed from her bowl to
the garden where it would grow tall, the agents
of Satan attacked. As had been revealed to Abraham
and Sa’arah during Shabat, Lucifer, the agent
of Satan, attacked the garden with his soldiers,
fallen angels of the Luciferian rebellion.
And these soldiers are called Saraphim,
for they spit fire from their serpent staves.
Lo: Luciferian Sky Ships dropped gourds
of poisoned water and poisoned fire over the area
of the garden; for Satan had ordered Lucifer to pre-
vent the planting of the Tree of Life on this world.
But before the gourds of poisoned water and fire
landed on the garden, Abraham and Sa’arah protected
the holy seed; for they had been warned in a vision
that this attack would occur. Yea, Abraham
and Sa’arah put the holy seed between their bodies
and entwined themselves round it; then, they each
shed a tear of compassion for all the souls of this
world who would be deceived by the Luciferians.
Behold: their tears did water the holy seed and
it germinated as they buried their feet in the soil
in the center of the garden. Lo: in a flash of light
the Tree of Life was fully grown, its seven roots
rooted in the center of the garden, its seven branches
reaching into the heavens.
Behold: Abraham and Sa’arah were within the Tree.
And through the center of the Tree they passed
into the center of the Sun which is the Temple
of Light. For, lo: the center of the Tree is the
center of the All, and all centers are connected
thereat. But Abraham and Sa’arah were not alone;
for, when they entwined in the Garden and
wept the Tears of Compassion which watered the
seed of the Tree of Life, behold: one of Abraham’s tears
entered the womb of Sa’arah, and she was now
pregnant with child.
Now, at the very same moment that the Tree of Life
had sprung up in the center of the Garden,
the entire Garden sprang to life. Yea, all the dormant
bodies and sleeping souls of the various species of
plant and animal life were activated. And when
the gourds dropped by the Luciferian Sky Ship hit
the Tree of Life, lo: they did not harm the tree; for,
once a Tree of Life has been planted, it can not be
harmed. And the Tree of Life transformed the poisoned
water and poisoned fire of the gourds into good water
and good fire.
Astute Bible students will wonder what the heck Abraham and Sa’arah are doing in the Garden of Eden! In the mainstream Bible, they appear much later and perform very different deeds than in the Nasarean Genesis. For example, one of the most disturbing (to those who have ears to hear, and eyes to see) stories in the mainstream Bible is the one in which Abraham prepares to obey the command of ‘God’ to murder (human sacrifice) his son, Isaac. In that awful story (loved my millions!), Abraham is willing to thrust a knife into his son’s chest to prove his faith in God. Fortunately, the Abraham of the Nasarean Bible is much saner! The Nasarean Abraham recognizes the command to murder his own child as coming from a demonic entity masquerading as God, and refuses the evil deed. In the Nasarean version, the only way in which Abraham ‘sacrifices’ his son is by sending him from a heavenly abode to do loving service in this lower world.
In Nasarean Genesis, Abraham and Sa’arah are angelic Beings (Cherubim) in service to the Lord Christ and Lady Christ. For this solar system, Abraham and Sa’arah are the chief overseers of the work of the Lord and Lady, being the High Priest and High Priestess of our star:
Yea, the Stars and the Worlds are countless! The
Living Beings are countless! The Eternity of
Eternities is unfathomable! The world we live
on is but one of countless worlds, some higher
in spiritual perfection, some lower. Lo: the
story of our world follows.
Each Living World is under the dominion of
a Temple Star. And the Prince of each Star is
an Abram. Lo: the name of the Abram of our
Sun is Abraham, which means Father of a Multi-
tude. Thus he is called Abraham the Abram.
And the Princess of the Cherubim of each Star
is a Sarah. And the name of the Sarah of our
Sun is Sa’arah, which means Whirlwind. Thus
she is called Sa’arah the Sarah.
Abraham and Sa’arah were sweet souls whom
had previously pierced the Mother Ovum and
enjoyed a Blessed Day of Play with Jah-Jah.
Now they had returned to serve as Hands of
Mercy under Lord Christ Jahday and Lady Christ
Jahnah. And Jahday and Jahnah gave to Abraham
and Sa’arah a Great Work: the planting of
a new Star Seed and the seeds of its Heavens and
Planets and Creatures. And though Abraham and
Sa’arah would plant and nurture the seeds, lo:
only Jahday and Jahnah were to create such seeds.
For, behold: them of the Luciferian Rebellion had
begun violating this and other precepts and had
thereby spread much evil and pain in many worlds.
Yea, Lucifer, under the inspiration of Satan,
had begun creating his own seeds, not of stars
or worlds, for he had not that power, but of
evil life forms which he seeded as weeds upon
many worlds. But Abraham and Sa’arah were
righteous and violated not the precepts of
our Lord and Lady. Lo: they followed the
instructions of King Jahday and Queen Jahnah,
and planted only the seed given to them.
Abraham and Sa’arah were made Overseers of
the new Star we call our Sun, and they were
given good seed to plant.
It certainly can be no mere coincidence that in the Hindu tradition there is a deity called Brahmah in charge of each star and that his female consort is Sarasvati. Consider this closesly: In Hebrew you have Abraham and Sarah, in Sanskrit you have Brahma and Sarasvati. And in the Nasarean Genesis Abraham and Sa’arah perform the same roles as their Sanskrit counterparts: solar deities in service to God and Goddess.
After Abraham and Sa’arah foiled the attempt by the Luciferians to prevent the planting of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, Lucifer hatched a second plan. We read:
Behold: the Luciferians were dismayed that they
had not prevented the planting of the Tree of
Life on this world, but they had a second plan.
Though they could not destroy the Tree of
Life once planted, they could plant
their own seed and try to deceive the creatures
of this world to eat from their tree
instead of the Tree of Life. Thus it was that
outside of Kush, near its border, the Luciferians
planted their own tree: the Tree of Evil Disguised
as Good. Lucifer said to his soldiers, “Behold, I will
plant my own seeds beside their garden, near their
tree I will plant my tree. And I will appear
to Adam and Eve and tell them I am their God. And I
will command them to obey me and my angels.
Lo: I will forbid them to eat of the fruit of the Tree
of Life and will command that they eat only from
the tree which I plant….”
Lucifer communed with his Master, Satan,
and behold: the Voice of the Serpent spoke
within Lucifer, saying: “Let my Priests mix good
with evil; for it is in robes of good that I shall
dress my seeds. And only one thing is truly needful
to enslave mankind: he must be made to
eat the flesh of animals. For then we can enter his
body and enjoy his senses. Yea, and we can whisper
in his head and he will believe that our words are
his thoughts….”
Satan continued to speak in the head of Lucifer,
saying: “Adam and Eve must not eat
from the Tree of Life, else they
will know eternal life and be out of our dominion.
For, should they eat only of the Tree of Life,
their bodies will become Perfected Light,
and they will ascend The Golden Ladder and
will not die. Lo: if their bodies do not die and
decay, they shall not fear death, and if they do
not fear death, they will not worship me.
Yea, and if they fear not death, they will not
accept the Three Bodies of Satan.”
Behold: the Three bodies of Satan are of three
dispensations. First is The Body of Fallen Flesh of
Satanic Seed. Second is The Body
of Metals Mated with Flesh. Third is The Body
of Enslaved Light. And the first body of Satan
prepares mankind to accept the second body.
And the second body of Satan prepares mankind
to accept the third body. And the dispensation of
each body is of long duration. And Satan tends
his garden.”
Due to the Luciferian interference with the evolution of this world, Jahday (the Son of Jah-Jah) and Jahnah (the Daughter of Jah-Jah) intervene. In the Nasarean ‘Old Testament’ they appear numerous times, side-by-side, in the form of a lamb and dove. As the lamb and dove, they give spiritual counsel to various Nasarean ‘Old Testament’ prophets, but do not yet incarnate as humans. But it is prophesied in the Nasarean ‘Old Testament’, that the Lord Christ (Jahday) and the Lady Christ (Jahnah) will take human embodiment in the future, as it would be necessary to counter the work of the Luciferians. The prophecies make clear that they would not come as God and Goddess, but as perfected man and woman. We read in the Nasarean Book of Malachi:
“Behold: I bring a message from Elohim! I declare
unto you a mighty work that shall be accomplished
in Israel. Because you listen not to the voice of God
and Goddess within you, they have sent Nasarean
prophets in bodies of flesh to speak the truth to you.
But you have not listened to those prophets; yea, you
have slain them. Thus it is that our Lord and Lady
themselves, our God Immanent and Goddess Immanent,
shall come to you in human garb and speak the truth. Yea,
Elohim shall come speak to you. They will not force you to
listen. Little will they exercise their transcendental powers.
They will appear to you as humans and speak as
humans. What powers they do exercise will be only that
which all human Beings are capable of. They will plant
heavenly seeds in fertile ground. Yea, they will not
reveal themselves to the world as God and Goddess,
but as Perfect Children of God and Goddess; only to
the elect shall the full truth be revealed. For they
come into the world to be patterns for righteous conduct,
examples for the sons and daughters of humankind.
Yea, they will be rejected by many; but those who
accept them will save their souls and become an
eternal race…. But that is a great mystery. And here
is another mystery: they will be reborn and die as
humans that they may enter the subtle regions
of this planet and cast out parasites.
“And this will be the sign that they have come
into the world: the Prophet Elijah shall return
to earth; he will be called John, for his coming
is an act of mercy and graciousness of our God
and Goddess. Yea, Elijah will reincarnate in
Israel and prepare a remnant to meet Jahday
and Jahnah, our Lord and Lady. He will come
as a voice crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight
a path for the Lord’. He will bring a baptism of
repentance. He will invite the nation of Israel to
join with the Essene Nasarean remnant in
preparing to meet our Lord and Lady.
“Behold: the Sun of Righteousness comes with
healing in its seven rays. And this Sun shall be
planted as a seed within the hearts and minds of
all those who receive our Lord and Lady.”
In both the mainstream Bible and the Nasarean Bible of the Essene Way, the last book of the ‘Old Testament’ is Malachi. But there are major differences in the two versions of Malachi. For example, in the mainstream version Malachi prophesizes a messianic Sun of Righteousness that will burn the wicked to ashes. Nasarean Malachi prophesizes a messianic Sun of Righteousness with healing in its seven rays which kills nobody. Later, in the Nasarean ‘New Testament’, we learn (from Mary Magdalene) that the seven rays are the seven parts of the Sevenfold Peace.
Many of the famous ‘Old Testament’ prophets of the mainstream Bible, including Malachi, Moses, Isaiah, and Elijah, also appear in the Nasarean ‘Old Testament’. But in each case, the words and deeds of the prophets differ from one Bible to the other. In the sacrificial cult version (that is the ‘mainstream’ version), the prophets are often very violent and, in several instances, murder people. And their words seem to lack wisdom. But in the Nasarean version the same prophets are nonviolent and wise. It is important to realize that THERE WAS NOT TWO MALACHI’S, TWO MOSES’S, TWO ISAIAH’S, etc.; rather, the sacrificial cult ALTERED THE TRUE SCRIPTURES to make them support their own bloody activities. When one reads the sacrificial cult version of the Book of Malachi, one sees quite clearly the reason for the alteration: TO DEFEND THE SYSTEM OF ANIMAL SACRIFICE AND SCARE PEOPLE INTO GIVING BETTER TITHES AND OFFERINGS. Clearly, that is the main theme of the mainstream Malachi.
Despite the heavy alterations of the mainstream Book of Malachi, like the Nasarean version quoted above it predicts that the messianic age will begin with the return to Earth of the prophet Elijah. But whereas the mainstream Malachi prophesizes that Elijah will return to prepare the way for a male Christ only, the Nasarean Malachi prophesized that the reincarnated Elijah would prepare the way for the Lord Christ AND LADY CHRIST.
Other Nasarean prophets likewise declared the future coming of both the Lord Christ (Jahday) and the Lady Christ (Jahnah). One of those prophets, Micah, even used a Hebrew term for the Lady Christ which is the exact equivalent of the Englishized term THE MAGDALENE. Before we quote those verses from the Nasarean Micah, I wish to point out that a trace of this messianic Magdalene prophecy still survives in the mainstream Bible’s Book of Micah. However, that Magdalene reference in mainstream Micah can only be detected if you read the key term in Hebrew. For all these centuries, Greek and English readers of the mainstream Bible have missed the following messianic reference to the Magdalene. In Micah 4:8 we read in English:
“As for you, O Watchtower of the flock, O stronghold
of the Daughter of Zion, the former dominion will be
restored to you; Kingship will come to the Daughter
of Jerusalem.”
In English, one does not notice any possible reference to the Magdalene in the above verse from mainstream Micah. But the English term Watchtower of the flock in the above verse is, in Hebrew: MAGDAL-EDER. The most common meaning of the word MAGDAL (it can also be spelled Migdal) in Biblical Hebrew is: WATCHTOWER. The word is also used in the Bible for “High Pulpit”, a tall platform from which royalty or priests could address a crowd. The word Eder means Flock and is usually used in reference to sheep, not cattle. It is from the word MAGDAL that the Biblical town of MAGDALA takes its name, probably from the fact the town featured a tall watchtower. Although watchtowers are not in the forefront of the minds of we moderns, in ancient Israel they were prominent and meaningful. In an article by Hershel Shanks in Biblical Archaeology, he reports that most towns and even large homesteads in ancient Israel featured large watchtowers:
“These manor houses were usually well placed for
protection and each had a conspicuous fortified
tower. As literary sources amply illustrate, brigandry
and robbery were endemic in Judea at this time.
In case of attack, the family and household… could
take refuge in the tower…. But it had [another]
function as well: It was an architectural expression
of the owner’s command over his land.”
Thus, in ancient Israel, a Watchtower (MAGDAL) was viewed affectionately as a place of refuge from violence, as well as a Lordly symbol of ownership or rulership over a region. And, as previously stated, the same word was also used for the High Pulpit used by royalty or priests to address the people. (Note: In the mainstream book of Micah, the word is spelled Magdal; but in the Nasarean Micah it is spelled Magdalah. Both spellings are fine; the ah ending in the Nasarean version simply is a feminine ending.)
In the light of the above definitions and explanations, the amazing thing about the way the term MAGDAL-EDER is used in Micah is that it is used as a sort of Messianic title: THE MAGDAL-EDER. While it is fascinating that a messianic prophecy featuring a messianic title which is the Hebrew equivalent of the Englishized term THE MAGDALENE has survived in the mainstream Bible, we gain far more insight from the Nasarean Micah. There we read:
“Our Goddess Immanent, our Immanuelah, shall
come at that time not as a Goddess, but as a
perfected woman. She will be born in the ancient
land of Eden that Her feet may bless the land
where first She came as the Dove. But She will
flee Eden with a spear at Her back, finding refuge
in the town of the Watchtower. But in truth, it is
She who is the Watchtower, for She is the Magdalah
Eder, the Watchtower of the Flock. Yea, it is She
who comes to give refuge to us. For She is the
the Good Shepard, and we are the sheep of Her
pasture. Her grass is green but few will graze
Her pasture, for they mock: ‘How can a woman
protect the flock? What Watchtower is defended
by a woman?’
“Yea, when our Queen Jahnah comes as the
Magdalah-Eder, few will receive her. But the few
who receive Her will preserve and guard Her words,
yea, and the words of her spouse, King Jahday,
for them of another age. Behold: when ears are
ready to hear the Magdalah-Eder, she shall come
again, this time in The Megillah. And her spouse
will again be at Her side, for They are the Two
which are One, and the One which is Two. And
the words of The Megillah will prepare a flock
to receive the Two Good Shepards. And then
shall they come again, this time in splendour as
Magdi’el and Magdi’elah, our God Immanent
and Goddess Immanent, our gifts from Jah-Jah.
And they will dance on this Earth for one thousand
years! And then this world shall again become a
Garden Paradise. Behold: Kush and Elkush will
again be united, for the fall of Adam and Eve
will be rectified. The Kindom of Heaven which
was in the beginning, shall again be in the end.”
In the following paragraphs I will comment on, and clarify, several significant words and ideas found in the above excerpt from Nasarean Micah. I will demonstrate that, in the light of the Nasarean Bible, there is no doubt that Mary Magdalene (Miriam of Magdala) was the incarnation of Jahnah, our Goddess Immanent, the only directly begotten daughter of Jahlah.
In regard to geographic location, Nasarean Micah prophesized:
“She will be born in the ancient land of Eden that Her feet
may bless the land where first She came as the Dove. But
She will flee Eden with a spear at her back, finding refuge
in the town of the Watchtower.”
The reference to ‘the ancient land of Eden… where She first came as the Dove’ is a reference to the Biblical country of Cush, which we now call Ethiopia. Many scholars have proposed that Ethiopia was the location of the ancient Garden of Eden, due to the description of certain rivers in the Biblical account. One such scholar, Abba Yehudah, in his A Journey to the Roots of Rastafari, writes:
“The Book of Genesis, Chapter Two verses 7-13, gives a specific
location of the Garden (the home of Adam and Eve): ‘Eastward in
Eden in a place where the head of the river is parted into four parts.’
In verse 13 we read: ‘And the name of the second river is Ghion’
[Ghion was the ancient name of the Nile] ‘The same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia….’ Moses names Ethiopia
as the place where Adam was placed by God after he breathed the
breath of life in his nostrils.”
While it is interesting to note that some scholars locate Eden in Ethiopia based on their reading of the mainstream Bible, the Nasarean Bible leaves no doubt at all. In the Nasarean ‘New Testament’, we read of the birth of Miriam (‘Mary Magdalene’) in Ethiopia:
One of the seven Nasarean encampments dedicated to the work of the
Essene Order of the Immaculate Conception was in Ethiopia. This
Encampment was called Eden; for… Ethiopia was the land of the ancient
Garden of Eden. Yea, there were many Jews in Ethiopia, most of the
sacrificial cult, but also Nasareans. And the Nasarean Jews were loved
by the people of Ethiopia, for their discipline and holiness was greatly
admired. And a Nasarean prophet went amongst the people and prophesized the coming of a Queen, saying: ‘A queen shall be born to an Ethiopian woman; yea, not a Queen with a worldly kingdom, but the Queen of the All. Our Lady, our Goddess, shall enter the world through the purified womb of an Ethiopian woman and the purified seed of an Ethiopian man. Behold: our Goddess comes not as Goddess, but as a perfected woman. And all women who embrace Her teachings will find perfection. And all men who humble themselves to learn from Her will find wisdom, indeed….’
In the Nasarean encampment in Ethiopia, there was great excitement. For,
this was the sixth generation since the founding of the Order of Immaculate Conception. And, according to the words of the Angel, this generation would give birth to the seventh generation bodies suitable for the incarnation of the Lord and the Lady. A number of bloodlines had apparently maintained the required level of purity for six consecutive generations, though only Omen could know for certain. One of the young women from such a bloodline was named Zibiah. And Zibiah was of a pure Ethiopian bloodline, as was her husband Zemira, a harp player. And lo: it was from the purified womb of Zibiah and the purified seed of Zemira, that the holy babe Miriam would come into the world…. And so it was that the Queen of Heaven came to earth in Ethiopia, the most ancient land of Eden.
It should be noted that the reference to the ‘Essene Order of the Immaculate Conception’ above does not imply belief in a virgin birth. In fact, this order was dedicated to spiritualized sexual practices and yogic disciplines, intended to create purified bodies for the incarnation of highly evolved souls. The Angel Gabriel had visited a Nasarean elder seven generations prior to the birth of Yahshua (Jesus) and Miriam (Mary Magdalene) and called for the creation of this order, to make possible the incarnation of highly evolved souls, culminating in the seventh generation with the birth of the Lord and Lady. The word Immacualte simply means Clean and Pure, and in no ways implies a virgin birth.
According to Nasarean Micah, though born in the ancient land of Eden, the holy child would ‘flee Eden with a spear at her back, finding refuge in the town of the Watchtower.’ While most towns – and even large homesteads – in ancient Israel had watchtowers, only one town was actually named WATCHTOWER; that was the town of MAGDALA on the western shore of Lake Galilee. And, indeed, according to the Nasarean ‘New Testament’, that is exactly where the holy child was taken:
But lo: soon the peaceful childhood of Miriam was visited by the violence
of the ignorant. For, behold: the sacrificial cult heard stories in the villages of a holy Goddess child who performed miracles. Yea, they heard of many sick and injured being healed at the mere sound of the voice of the holy child. And these stories were true, for when the child sang great healings occurred. Witnesses had seen even a wilted flower come to life at the sound of her voice. But the jews of the sacrificial cult, being jealous of
the love the Ethiopian people had for the Nasarean child, and being
influenced by entities that thrive on blood sacrifice, claimed the child
was a witch. And they came at night and set fire to the Nasarean village
of Eden, killing many. And a man threw a spear at the holy child; but
holy Zemira threw himself between his daughter and the spear. Lo:
Zemira was killed but his sacrifice saved Miriam. Zibiah snatched
up her daughter and ran into the night….
And so the people, at risk to themselves, helped Zibiah and Miriam flee
to Israel, by way of Egypt…. Zibiah took Miriam to Magdala, a city on
the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, where she had Nasarean friends.
In regard to the name Miriam of Magdala and the terms The Magdalene and Magdala-Eder, Nasarean Micah prophesized:
But she will flee Eden with a spear at her back, finding refuge in the
town of the Watchtower. But in truth, it is She who is the Watchtower,
for she is the Magdalah-Eder, the watchtower of the flock. Yea, it is
She who comes to give refuge to us. For She is the Good Shepard, and
we are the sheep of Her pasture.
In ancient Bible lands, people did not have last names like we do. Rather, they were identified by their city -- ‘Joseph of Arimathea’, Jesus of Nazareth, Philo of Alexandria, -- or by the name of their Father, such as Jesus son of Joseph. Thus, our Lady was not called ‘Mary Magdalene’ but Miriam of Magdala. ‘Mary’ is an Englishized version of the Hebrew name ‘Miriam’; nobody in ancient Israel was named ‘Mary’. The name Miriam, according to a new and improved version of Strong’s Bible Concordance (the new version is called The Strongest Strong’s), has several different meanings:
1) Bitterness (from the bitter taste of Myrrh);
2) Plump one;
3) Wished-for child;
4) One who loves or is loved.
Since we now know that Miriam’s mother was a member of the Essene Order of the Immaculate Conception, and that the very purpose of that order was to prepare for the coming of the Lord Christ and Lady Christ as holy children, and that our Goddess is Love itself, it is no surprise that we read in the Nasarean ‘New Testament’:
Zibiah named the child ‘Miriam’; for, within her, she knew that this
baby was the long wished-for child, she whom is the embodiment of love.
Clearly, meanings three and four of the name Miriam are both indicated in the above verse.
While it is true that every citizen of Magdala would have been of Magdala (e.g. Ruth of Magdala, Nathan of Magdala, etc.), only one citizen of Magdala ever became historically known as THE MAGDALENE. To say ‘The Magdalene’ is equivalent to saying ‘The Magdal-Eder’. It is an acknowledgement of the profound grandeur of the name bearer. In fact, it is an acknowledgement that she is our refuge. In truth, WE ARE HER FLOCK because SHE IS OUR MOTHER. But many of us have gone astray…. We have rejected our Mother…. Nasarean Micah prophesized:
“For She is the Good Shepard, and we are the sheep of Her pasture.
Her grass is green but few will graze Her pasture, for they mock: ‘How
can a woman protect the flock? What Watchtower is defended by a
woman?’”
The above touches on what was to be a main theme of Miriam of Magdala’s life: REJECTION BY MEN. Besides the Nasarean Bible, several other ancient manuscripts attributed to Gnostic Christians echo that theme. We will first examine excerpts from those Gnostic texts, then return to the Nasarean Bible for the final word on that theme.
In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Peter declares:
“This life we are living [traveling spiritual teachers] is not for women.
Send Mary away.”
In the Gnostic Pistis Sophia, we again hear from Peter on the topic of Mary Magdalene:
And Peter started forward and said unto Jesus, “My Lord, we will not
endure this woman, for she taketh the opportunity of speaking from us
by discoursing many times.”
We see above that Peter was not comfortable with having a woman in a primary speaking role, especially in regard to spiritual matters. Peter didn’t mind Jesus speaking long discourses, but did not support the Magdalene doing so. Neither was Peter comfortable with the notion of a woman living the life of a traveling spiritual teacher.We must understand that Peter’s opinion was the norm in his day. Ancient Israel was extremely patriarchal. Although the small minority sect of Nasareans
had women Priestesses, mainstream Judaism did not. In fact, IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR WOMEN TO STUDY THE SCRIPTURES!
It is also important to realize that Jesus (Yahshua), for his ministry to the non-Nasarean majority of Israel, selected eight Apostles with non-Nasarean backgrounds, and four with Nasarean backgrounds. There were three main divisions within Judaism: the Saducees, the Pharisees, and the Nasarean Essenes. Yahsuah selected four representatives from each division of Judaism: four Nasareans, four Saducees, and four Pharisees. Of course, the Saducees and Pharisees he selected were the cream of the crop of their religions: all eight of them were vegetarian and were extremely interested in learning the Nasarean Way. But the hardest part of the Nasarean Way for these former Saducees and Pharisees was to embrace the Divine Feminine and the notion of equality for women. Which is why, after the crucifixion of Yahshua, that doctrine was the first to be watered-down by the former Saducees and Pharisees in the early Christian movement. In fact, that led to the first splintering of the group, with vegetarianism being the cause of the second splintering. More on that later in this article. But now let us consider Peter’s anti-Magdalene comments in another Gnostic manuscript, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
Very few verses from The Gospel of Mary Magdalene have survived. The few verses that survived are part of the Nag Hammadi Scrolls discovered in Egypt in the 1945. There we read:
[After the crucifixion of Jesus] the disciples were gathered. A discple
asked Mary Magdalene, ‘We know the Savior loved you more than any
other. Tell us the words of the Savior that you know, but we do not know.’
Mary answered, ‘What is hidden from you, I will reveal.’ And she began
to reveal great mysteries…. After Mary had spoken, Andrew said: ‘I do
not believe that her words are from the Lord. Her teachings are nonsense.’ Likewise, Peter said: ‘Are we to believe that she knows more about spiritual things than we do? Are we to believe that the Lord commissioned a woman to take forth his mysteries unto the world? Are we now to turn to her and listen to her as we did the Lord? Did he really prefer her for that role over us?’
Then Mary wept and said, ‘My Brother Peter, do you think I made these
things up? Do you think I would lie to you about the Lord?’ Levi came
to her defense saying, ‘Peter, you have always been hot tempered. Now
you are contending with Mary as though she were the adversary. But if
the Lord gave her this role who are you to reject her? It is because he
truly knows her that he loved her more than us.’
Before we comment on the fact that Levi came to her defense, let us consider the view of one scholar in regard to Peter’s anti-Magdalene attitude. In his book Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Laurence Gardner writes:
Peter had been Jesus’ right-hand man and, as such, he should have become Mary Magdalene’s guardian during the years of her separation… but Peter had a low opinion of women, and was not prepared to be at the beck and call of a priestess. Paul’s opinion of women was even less flattering, and he strongly objected to their involvement in matters of religion. The two men, therefore, deliberately excluded Mary from any standing in their new movement….
With all this anti-Magdalene sentiment amongst the male disciples, Levi deserves credit for having come to her defense. In the last line quoted above from The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, he said: “It is because he [Jesus] truly knows her that he loved her more than us.” Levi must have been remembering the following words spoken by Jesus before he was crucified, preserved in another Gnostic manuscript called The Gospel of Philip:
“As for Sophia [Greek for ‘Holy Wisdom’/ ‘Holy Spirit’], she is the Mother of the Angels and the Consort of the Lord, Mary Magdalene. The Lord loved her more than all the others and used to kiss her often on her lips. A disciple asked, ‘Why do you love her in a different manner than you love us?’ The Savior answered: ‘When a blind man and one who sees are both together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light, and the one who is blind will remain in darkness…. If one goes down into the water and comes up without having received anything and says ‘I am a Christian’, he has borrowed the name at interest. But if he receives the holy spirit, he has the name as a gift…. And that is a Great Mystery. Even greater is the Mystery of Marriage; for without it the world would not exist!”
In the above verses, several things are asserted: 1) The ‘Holy Spirit’ is the Mother of the Angels and the consort of the Lord, Mary Magdalene. 2) Jesus loved Mary Magdalene in a ‘different manner’ than he loved others, often ‘kissing her on her lips’. 3) Jesus asserts, in the form of a mystical saying, that only those with eyes that can see the light (advanced initiates) truly understand his relationship with Mary Magdalene. 4) Jesus asserts that those with the eyes to see the light are those who have received the Holy Spirit, and that many who think they have actually have not. They have gone through the motions of baptism, but not actually experienced the mystery of baptism which involves receiving the Holy Spirit. For, if they had, they would certainly know who Mary Magdalene is, since she is the Holy Spirit. 5) His relationship with Mary Magdalene is that of marriage; but not only in the traditional sense, but also the cosmic sense: without the relationship of Jahday and Jahnah the world would not exist.
In another verse from The Gospel of Philip, this teaching of the Holy Spirit being female is again given:
“Some say that Mother Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit. They are in error. For, when did a woman ever conceive of a woman?”
In that verse the ‘Mary’ referenced is Jesus’ Mother. The verse is pointing out that the idea of some Christian’s that Mother Mary conceived (was made pregnant) by the Holy Spirit is wrong, because one WOMAN can not make another WOMAN pregnant! In other words, the Holy Spirit is FEMALE!
In regard to the reference to Mary Magdalene being the consort of the Lord, that is again mentioned in another verse from the Gospel of Philip:
“There were three who walked with the Lord at all times: his Mother, her
sister, and the Magdalene, whom they called his consort.”
Notice that the Magdalene is not simply referred to as his disciple, apostle, or even as his most devoted follower; rather, she is referred to as his consort. I researched that and discovered that the greek word being translated here as consort always implies a romantic relationship but is just as accurately translated by the English word WIFE. And we saw that Jesus himself, when asked about his relationship with the Magdalene, gave a long, mystical response, then summed it up as MARRIAGE.
As Jahday and Jahnah, certainly they are eternal consorts united in COSMIC MARRIAGE, as described in this verse from The Gospel of the Holy Twelve:
Jesus said,
‘Again I say unto you, I and my Bride are one. Mary Magdalene, Whom I have chosen, is one with me…. She is my Bride, ever one in Holy Union with me her spouse.
The reference above to ‘ever one with me’, especially when read in the context of the larger passage I excerpted from, is clearly speaking of a mystical, cosmic marriage. But in the Nasarean Bible, not only are they married in the cosmic sense as Jahday and Jahnah, but even in the human sense as Yahshua (‘Jesus’) and Miriam (‘Mary Magdalene’). And that is a very good thing, because, as we will soon see, YAHSHUA AND MIRIAM HAD A CHILD TOGETHER!
In the Nasarean New Testament, Jesus (I am purposely alternating between the use of the names Jesus and Yahshua to condition the reader that they are one and the same; the same is true for my alternate usage of the names Mary Magdalene and Miriam of Magdala) and Mary Magdalene are the couple that were wedded in the gospel story of The Wedding at Cana. Since one of the purposes of this article is to wet your appetite to read the entire Nasarean Bible, I am going to make you wait until the publication of that manuscript to read the account of their wedding! But some scholars have already put two and two together and figured out that the wedding at Cana was indeed that of Yahshua and Miriam. In her book, The Woman with the Alabaster Jar, Margaret Starbird writes:
“Perhaps this marriage of Cana was one of national importance… namely
that of Jesus to Mary Magdalene.”
In Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Laurence Gardner describes an ancient Egyptian cup that legend says was used at the wedding of Jesus and Mary Magdalene:
“During the 1400’s when Rosslyn Chapel was being built, the Grand
Helmsman of the Priory de Sion was Rene d’Anjou…. It is from Rene
D’Anjou that the familiar ‘Cross of Lorraine’ derives. The cross – with
its two horizontal bars – became the lasting symbol of free France, and
was the emblem of the French Resistance during World War II. Among
Rene’s most prized possessions was a magnificent Egyptian cup of
red crystal, which he obtained in Marseilles. It was said to have been
used at the wedding of Jesus and Mary Magdalene at Cana….”
[boldface added by Nazariah]
Gardner provides interesting evidence that the Catholic Church later deleted all references to Jesus’ marriage:
“One of the reasons why there is no mention of Jesus’ married status in
the New Testament is that the evidence was deliberately removed by Church decreee. This was revealed as recently as 1958, when a manuscript of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople was discovered in a monastery at Mar Saba, east of Jerusalem, by Morton Smith, Professor of Ancient History at Columbia University…. Within a book of the works of St Ignatius of Antioch was a transcription of a letter by Bishop Clement of Alexandria (circa AD 150-215), an early Father of the Christian Church. It was addressed to his colleague, Theodore. Also included was an unknown section of the Gospel of Mark. Clement’s letter decreed that some of the original content of Mark was to be suppressed because it did not conform with Church requirements. The letter reads: ‘For even if they should say something true, one who loves the Truth should not, even so, agree with them. For not all true things are the Truth; nor should that truth which seems true to human opinions be preferred to the true Truth – that of faith.’”
Wow! How is that for theological double-talk! In other words, Bishop Clement, born in 150 AD, having come across an ancient manuscript that would have embarrassed the Church (i.e. an account of the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene) ordered a cover up of the truth in the name of a higher Truth: faith in the doctrines of the Catholic Church! Well, I think I will choose otherwise!
We have seen that Mary Magdalene was not well received by many men, including important Apostles such as Peter. I stated above that this rejection by men led to the first split in the church. I will now describe that split. In describing that split, I will reveal the true meaning of the term THE HOLY GRAIL.
According to the Nasarean Bible, Yahshua and his wife/co-worker Miriam, realizing that he was going to be killed, chose to conceive a child. In fact, according to the Nasarean Bible, this was one of the reasons that Jahday and Jahnah chose to incarnate as human beings: to enter and bless the human genetic stream. One way that they blessed the human genetic stream was by leaving their DNA in it: THEY MADE A BABY! When did they do that? Do you remember the New Testament story about the last night in the garden at Gethsemane? That was the last night before Jesus’ arrest and subsequent trial. Jesus is reported to have asked the disciples to stay up and pray with him. But try as they might, none of them could stay awake. They all fell asleep and left him to pray by himself…. Well, in the Nasarean Bible, there was one who did stay up with him that night…. MARY MAGDALENE. Not with any sort of negative lust, but in PROFOUND LOVE they conceived a child. This child was the very vessel of the blood of Christ…. THE GRAIL CHILD!
We have all heard of The Holy Grail. Most of us think of the grail as a cup that held the blood of Christ. Legend tells us that Joseph of Arimathea filled a cup with the blood that Jesus shed upon the cross; that cup, the Holy Grail, held the presence of Christ and had mystical powers. But consider the following: would not a child of Jesus and the Magdalene be a vessel filled with the blood of Christ? Might not that child hold the presence of the Christ? And perhaps that child, the vessel of Christ, would have profound mystical powers. In their book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, researchers Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln write:
“Could the Grail be something more than pure fantasy? Could it actually have
existed in some sense? Could there really have been such a thing as the Holy Grail? Or something concrete, at any rate, for which the Holy Grail was employed as a symbol?… It is generally assumed that the Holy Grail relates in some way to Jesus.
According to some traditions it was the cup from which Jesus and his disciples drank at the Last Supper. According to other traditions it was the cup in which Joseph of Arimathea caught Jesus’ blood as he hung on the cross. According to other traditions the grail was both of these….
“According to certain accounts the Grail was brought by Joseph of Arimathea to
England…. According to other accounts it was brought by the Magdalen to France. As early as the fourth century legends described the Magdalen fleeing the Holy Land and being set ashore near Marseilles [a city in France] – where, for that matter, her reputed relics are still venerated. According to medieval legends she carried with her to Marseilles the Holy Grail.
“But the early legends say that the Magdalen brought the Grail into France, not a
cup. In other words, the simple association of Grail and Cup was a relatively late
development…. In these original sources the Grail is something much more than a cup.
“… the Grail in the Perlesvaus [an ancient text] consists of a changing sequence of images or visions. The first of these is a crowned king crucified. The second is a child.”
Above we see that the Holy Grail was originally not identified as a cup; that was a later legend. Originally the Holy Grail was a vessel of the bloodline of Christ, brought to France by Mary Magdalene. We read in Gardner’s Bloodline of the Holy Grail:
“The Grail has been symbolized by many things…. Either way, it has a genuine
purpose, and a heritage that prevails with the Grail Family…. Its powers include
those of rejuvenation, knowledge and provision; just as Jesus was a healer, teacher and provider, so too is the Grail…. The Grail legacy is a relic of early Judaic Christianity, but the Christian Church has never recognized the fact. Despite a background that is both romantic and sacred, Grail lore remains an unproclaimed heresy…. Moreover, the Roman Church has openly condemned the Grail because of its strong female associations…. To a far greater extent, though, the Church’s reluctance to accept Grail tradition derived from the Grail Family’s specifically defined Messianic lineage….
“Medieval tradition related that Joseph of Arimathea brought the Holy Grail to
Britain. Even earlier European lore told how Mary Magdalene originally brought
the Sangreal [another term for Grail] into Provence [France]….
“In the original Grail legends there were constant references to the Grail Family,
the Grail dynasty, and the custodians (or guardians) of the Grail…. Cups and
stones aside, the importance of the Grail exists in its definition as the San Greal =
San Graal = Saint Grail = Holy Grail. More correctly it was the Sang Real – the
Blood Royal, carried by the uterine Chalice of Mary Magdalene….
“The Holy Grail became likened to a vessel because it was said to carry the sacred blood of Jesus. But it was the Chalice (V) of Mary Magdalene which carried the Sangreal in utero. It was she who inspired the Dompna (Great Lady) of the Troubadours, who were so callously treated by the Inquisition – and they called her the ‘Grail of the World’. In Parzival, it is said of the Grail Queen that ‘she bore… the perfection of earthly paradise, both roots and branches.’
We see above that both the Magdalene and her child were referred to as the Holy Grail. She was the ‘Grail Queen’ because she carried the Sangreal [Sacred Blood] within the chalice of her womb (the womb is shaped like a chalice: V). Her child was also the Holy Grail because the Sacred Blood of Christ flowed within the veins of the child of Yahshua and Miriam. And the reference to the Grail Child as “the perfection of earthly paradise, both roots and branches”, seems a declaration that this child was a perfected human being, an embodiment of all seven root forces and all seven branch forces of the Essene Tree of Life. (For a description of the Essene Tree of Life which explains the seven roots and seven branches read Edmond Szekely’s book, From Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls.)
The story of the Grail Child will be a topic for a future article in Essene Path. In the article at hand, I want to call attention to the above references to the Magdalene fleeing Israel after the crucifixion and going to France. The assertion of the Nasarean Bible that the Magdalene was a black woman born in Ethiopia and that
