The work shows that Jesus sought to establish equity of masculine and feminine in both spiritual practice and social traditions, particularly in the sacrament of marriage.
It reinterprets Jesus’ key teachings in light of the ancient tradition of sacred consortship and reveals what happened to the gnostic heart of Christianity that Jesus embodied.
Jesus was a high-initiate and master adept of the ancient Judaic mysteries who strove to free people from the dead hand of the ritualists. He was trained in a dissident Jewish brotherhood that arose in Egypt before he was born, which sought to bring back the ancient Judaic mysteries outlawed by the Jerusalem temple." Victoria LePage

This artilce explores tha idea that maybe Jesus went through an initiation process and Mary Magdalena was essential to Jesus' attainment of Christhood and or moving his consciousness up to the highest possible level here on Earth. Initiation is totally different concept than sacrifice. Initiation is a radical shift from the fate-imposed to the free will human. If the Western world unconsciously views and measures their lives by a man who was initiated rather than sacrifice our whole psychology and experience may change. Initiations assumes that the man has control of his life, he is purposefully moving into a specific discipline to attain experience or knowledge. Since Jesus was alive during the last light of Egypt's power and the Greek civilization the old priest of each of these cultures held a secret initation process that was only for a special few. The masses were not aware of the secret teachings of the priests and philosophers. So for us as Western modern people do we believe the status quo or do we use our new found reason to explore what really happened 2000 years ago. The mystery continues and do not expect the priest to tell you any sort of real truth. The Roman Empire were skilled at manipulating information like no other civilization on Earth even to this day. To manipulate the mind is the ultimate feat- and the book known as the Bible has been used as weapon more than tool to bring grace to others.
First I am assuming that our mythology or great religions influence our attitudes and ultimately later our experience. We have to admit that we are waking up from 2000 years of faith based world view and now we want science and research to be at the forefront of our thinking and perceiving reality. Yet their are undercurrents that still prevail as far as attitudes and unconscious manifestations of an old paradigm. The old paradigm is the wester Judeo Christian worldview. We assume that we had one savior and he was the son of god and he was not married or involved with a female. The Far WEst takes this to be a fundamental fact. Therefore the female position in the whole worldview is less and or nonexistence compared to the male.
This article is not about if Jesus existed or if Mary Magdalena existed, but what mythology manifested and how we view each sex because of the "story" that came down from this religion. We need to investigate all texts, viewpoints so that our mythology or attitudes toward the value of female and male qualities can be better understood.
If you do research on the Gospels that were recently found in the desert near the Nile River then you would know that their is evidence of Mary Magdelene being the "Beloved"disciple of Jesus. The city is near this area is Nag Hammadi and an Egyptian peasant found buried jars that contained ancient manuscripts. This all happened in 1945. These documents contained The Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Philip, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
So what does this have to do with Mary and Jesus. The most controversial piece out of all these ancient gnosis (secret teachings) is that both Mary and Philip say things like why does Jesus kiss Mary on the mouth. Peter gets really mad and asks why Jesus speaks with Mary more than the others. When you begin to read the Gospel of Mary it is a lot more complex than the Gospels of John, Mark, Luke, Thomas, and Philip. The questions begin. Why did Mary anoint Jesus. How could a woman have the authority to anoint the possible son of god. Who was the one person that witnessed the resurrection? Mary. Now that bible researches now have these New-Ancient documents- it becomes clear that Mary was the only one evolved enough to see Jesus in his resurrected form.
The anointing of Jesus is not a Hebrew tradition- it is more Egyptian. Many believe that Jesus was part of a Jewish Mystic tradition that allowed women to study. The general Hebrew mainstream would not allow a woman to be any authority in the temple. We know Jesus advocated for the poor, the outcasts and probably allowed women to follow him. So if he found a woman who was well read, gifted in the art of dreaming and healing then why would he not teach her more. Since the beginning of time the Status Quo wants to keep the mainstream in their grasp. If they down play women, even give them a negative spin-like Mary is a prostitute- which never has been proven in the bible- then you are in the grasp of the powers that be. If you want to empower yourself and realize that women have always been near the fight, great leaders and powerful healers and mystics then do your research.
Mary was an advance soul who was a major part of Jesus' initiation into the mystical arts of the day- which still puts him at the top. That is to say he was the most evolved being to ever walk this earth- along with a couple others Buddha and Mary? Some say that Mary helped Jesus attain the ultimate act- to go beyond death. How did she help him- well that might be another story. People want to say that to be a Buddha and a Christ is not possible if a woman is involved. Christ did not arrive on Earth as the son of God- the whole missing years of Jesus- going to India, Tibet and the east to learn, meditate, fast, study, face his demons, and confront a feminine being to acknowledge that to be human is to embrace both masculine and feminine energy. To deny one or the other will weaken you as a human. The intitiation of Jesus required a female consort to introduce him to the female energy and go beyond this world or raise his consciousness level to realize the full potential of being human. It is not about denying our physcial attributes it is about embracing all parts of the human and going to the next level.
Sex is such a western Taboo- which is a small tragedy- or big one considering how we berate ourselves for enjoying it too much or whatever other hang ups we have about it.
Both Buddha and Jesus had to engage in spiritual sexual practices as part of their spiritual development. It is not about animal desire- but attaining female energy by being with a female. It is not about animalistic sexual relationships, but being a master of your entire breath, mind, body, and Kundalini. (In its hidden state, the kundalini is said to be sheer potentiality. This is only relatively correct, for the Goddess energy is always active on our behalf, maintaining all the subtle energetic processes that underlie our physical and mental structures and functions.)(Kundalini: Awakening the Serpent Powerby Georg Feuerstein)

http://bluenaturenetwork.com/DharmaMasterNanHuaichin/Samantabhadra4.jpgIt is so far beyond the western -"give me pleasure now" mode of existing that people get confused and fearful. They want sex to be a dirty thing and whatever else. It is part of procreation and if you are committed-even in your relationships and opening to higher states of consciousness. Even if you are married, with your partner-males, females- whatever combination twist you engage in- to commit yourself- to vow that you will love someone is a step in the right direction. Now using your body as a vehicle of the divine- yoga- sexual relations with RIGHT mind then there is another step to a higher level of being. Anyway you must do your own research on what this all leads to.
The Gospel of Mary shows that Mary Magdalena was not just the consort or lover to Jesus but a Disciple herself. She was not just one of the 12 Disciples but the "First Apostle." Her presence in Jesus' life was essential to his attainment of knowledge. It was a sexual love relationship. It was not like our marriages of today or any other time period to have exist so far. It was the ultimate human potential realized and embraced. Imagine two intitiates, well disciplined humans devoted to god, health, love and light, and then they consumated their love and devotion as humans. Is is so simple and powerful the result of two opposites making a whole. We live in the world of opposites and to brige this limited space and time, we must embrace our humanity and seek the other, but with discipline and knowledge. Because Jesus was marriage and had sexual relations with a female does not make him any less powerful, but shows us our highest human potential. This potential involves all aspects of being human, mostly the qualities we have not explored yet. Psychologist have already determined we have masculine qualities and feminine qualities and to deny one over the other is where we are now. To become whole we must not deny any of ourselves, and seek the hidden and dark areas to that we may move on in our evolution.
