These are the books on the translations of the Gospel of Mary. I use a wide view of the translations to find a feeling, a fit, that sits right with me. The sense I get is that the Gospel speaks to us on many levels of our own emotional landscape. The experience I have, and other readers, is that the Gospel can give a new meaning, a quote, a new message each time it is read. This is what is meant by a New Light. How do I know? I have just completed a Gospel of Mary reading course. All the participants in the group experienced New Lights from the text each week! Each time it is read, over and over, it speaks to us “at the level of the heart”.
This is the 3rd session on the Darkness from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. In this session the discussion raises more questions than answers about the Dark,
What would the darkness represent in times before electricity?
Would we turn in every night at sundown to rest, sleep, gather for warmth with others?
What would it feel like to without tv, radio, electrical devices in the dark hours?
What would we find within ourselves? Hidden treasures, wisdom, memories, inner knowledge
