Clarification and Being

Jean-Yves Leloup, mystic, theologian and scholar, book The
Gospels of Mary Magdalene is a thought provoking. It is a book with
wisdom for believers, skeptics, agnostics and atheists. Jean-Yves
Leloup has written a stunning commentary on the ancient Gnostic text.
One of the proverbs from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene.: The
teacher(God) answered: "All that is born, all that is created, all
the elements of nature are inter-woven and united with each other.
All that is composed will decompose; everything returns to the roots;
matter returns to the order of matter: "
These words, written 2,000 years ago, are not religious dogma,
linguistic meanderings or rhetoric, but ancient knowledge which
coincides with what science knows to be true today. Here science and
spiritually meet and separate at the same time: because science does
not yet fully agree, with the spiritual dimension of the proverbs.
The Gospels of Mary Magdalene say: 'That the teachers (God)
words are the beginning of the return to being fully human and
discovering the real world and the wisdom of God which are also the
words of ancient wisdom."
Leloup writes: “Everything returns to its roots; matter returns to
the original matter. All evolution involves a return. To return is
not to go back--rather to go forward..... It is a return to the place
that is our origin and our destiny....We return to the Source and the
beginning."
The Gospels of Mary Magdalene are about a Kingdom we can know as
living beings in this world. The knowledge is meant to re-interrogate
humans with theirselves so they can become fully human and above the
illusions, attachments and the suffering brought to life through the
seven deadly sins of: pride, lust, envy anger, covetousness,
gluttony, and sloth. Which are present, and the motives, in the
greater sins of genocide, wars, murder, fraud, violence, pedophilia,
rape and the sins of skepticism. pessimism and cynicism which are the
final disillusionment. For God says: There are no sins. It is man
that makes sin exist.
Leloup writes: “Through the poor use of our senses,
intelligence, and emotions, these faculties have become disoriented-
they have lost there orient, that is to say, their attunment with the
Being that is at the heart of all impermanence, transitory phenomena
of the world. It is only this disorientation that enables us to
pervert ourselves, society, and the universal order itself.” As we
have noticed in the turmoil of our senses and in the world.
Leloup writes: “Furthermore the Kingdom that is spoken of in The
Gospels of Mary Magdalene must not be confused with the return to
some sort of lost paradise or a state of consciousness. Rather it is
the awakening to this very dimension of Being that is the source of
our existence now, and of the mystery of there being something instead
of nothing."
