The Magdalen and Gnostic Gospels

The Gnostic Gospels, discovered in Egypt in 1945, includes 52 texts allegedly omitted from the Bible that were authored in the first or second century A.D. Information in these texts suggests that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalen and had a family with her, which corroborates the information channeled by Tom Kenyon and his wife Judi Sion in The Magdalen Manuscript. In this book,Mary Magdalen herself tells the story of her life with Jesus, then known as Yeshua, his true purpose for incarnating on Earth and her role as both his divine counterpart and a practicing priestess of the Temple of Isis.
Contrary to what’s included in the Bible, the Gnostic Gospels tell us that Magdalen was not a prostitute - she was an Initiate and priestess of the Temple of Isis, as was Yeshua’s mother Mary. Initiates were practitioners of tantric alchemy trained to use the subtle energies of sexual energy to activate the human light body. This work, described in detail in a previous article, is a means of achieving magical,healing abilities and, ultimately, immortality. According a portion of the Gospel of Thomas, a roughly 1500 year old manuscript housed in the British Library, not only was Magdalen married to Yeshua and the mother of his child, they were both practitioners of alchemical tantric magic and she was the founder of the Judeo-Christian church.
Study of these gospels has proven controversial and difficult to verify historically - much of it is written in code and parts of the manuscripts have clearly been censored. However, channeled material supported by historical and archaeological record has proved to be a unique way of tracing human history. The most famous example is Dorothy Eady, a mid-20th century British historian who worked for the Egyptian Department of Antiquities. Following a head injury as a young girl, she recalled a past life as a fellow Isis Initiate in a relationship with Pharaoh Seti at the Temple of Abydos. As an adult working in Abydos, she was able to accurately remember details from her past life and provide information to the Department of Antiquities to determine where onsite archaeological digs should take place.
In the same way Eady’s insights were supported by excavation and written historical record, much of what is shared in The Magdalen Manuscript is found in parts of the Gnostic Gospels. After the crucifixion, Yeshua’s followers split into several groups and authored their own records of their time with him, which became known as the gospels. At that time Christianity was being heavily persecuted by the Roman empire but under Emperor Constantine in the 4th century A.D. a specific form of Christianity was adopted by Rome, the version taught by the apostle Paul. All other gospels were systematically destroyed or hidden, losing nearly all records of Yeshua’s life as a young man and his relationship with Magdalen.
“The material world is an illusion, a game for our souls to explore and evolve in, and achieving ecstatic states of bliss is how we transcend it.”
It was during the early years of their relationship, according to Magdalen, that Yeshua also became an Initiate and was able to strengthen his Ka, or light body. In another book of channeled material, The Law of One from the Egyptian sun god Ra, much reference is made to souls getting lost in the third density of Earth. This is why more advanced, inter-dimensional beings are working to help the human collective achieve karmic escape velocity. Christ’s crucifixion can be interpreted as serving the same purpose, and some Biblical scholars interpret Yeshua and Ra to be different expressions of the same being.
The Magdalen Manuscript states that the purpose of Yeshua’s resurrection was to, “cut a passage through death itself,” allowing others understand the true nature of life and death and thereby “follow his trail of light” so as not to get lost in third density. His teachings were the means of escaping the wheel of karma, and his resurrection was the ultimate miracle proving that any of us could follow these teachings and achieve the same state of being. Indeed, every miracle he performed was intended to be a demonstration that his level of Christ consciousness is available to all of us, but this idea was omitted by the Roman-adopted version of Christianity. Instead of the story of Yeshua’s life and death serving as an example for all mankind, the narrative was revised to deify him and suggest that perfection and power were impossible to achieve.
Magdalen, through Kenyon’s channeling, clarified that those who witnessed Yeshua’s resurrection were seeing his light-body, which he had strengthened enough through personal and tantric spiritual practice to appear even though his physical body had died. After his resurrection, she and Yeshua’s mother and their young child were not safe under Roman rule, so they fled to France. They eventually made their way to what is now England to seek the protection of The Druids, who had connections to the Isis priesthood. The early Judeo-Christian church, founded by Magdalen, was a hybrid of Judaism, Paganism and Christianity. There is some surviving evidence, including a mosaic floor at a fifth century synagogue called Beit Alpha near Galilee in Israel, where Yeshua was from and where he taught.
The mosaic depicts the zodiac with Pagan symbols, and Yeshua appearing in the center as the sun god Helios, the Greek equivalent to the Egyptian god Ra. There are also several traditional Jewish symbols depicted, including a temple and shofar which Magdalen Manuscript’s claim that early Judeo-Christianity was established first in the Jewish region of Galilee and later amongst the Pagan-practicing Druids. This early expression of Christianity united multiple religious systems and revered the holy physical union of Magdalen and Yeshua. The separation from Jewish and Pagan influence and glorification of celibacy came with the later, distorted version adopted under Constantine.
Following the account of her life and relationship with Yeshua, the second half of The Magdalen Manuscript provides a detailed analysis of world religions, alchemy practices and the commonalities between them and the original Judeo-Christian tenets. Many of these themes, largely erased from post-Constantine Christianity, are closer to a Vedic, Buddhist or Kabbalist worldview. The core message is that the material world is an illusion, a game for our souls to explore and evolve in, and achieving ecstatic states of bliss is how we transcend it. We all have the power to recognize life as a dream, awaken from it, and thereby enjoy it more.
