Mystery Of Mary Magdalene

Mystery Of Mary Magdalene Image
When we are separated from our roots in God, we are out of "harmony," according to the Gospel of Mary. That is why the Teacher says, "Be in harmony. If you are out of balance, take inspiration from manifestations of your true nature".

How fresh this sounds to our ears! Becoming harmonious involves becoming conscious of our true nature and recognizing of our true rootedness in God.

The process of coming into balance, into health, and into life, is a process of recognizing our own divine humanity within. We are made in the image of God; we mirror God, we result from God, we exist in God. Recognition of our true nature begins a movement into harmony and health.

This is a different voice than that of Paul, who emphasizes our sinfulness, rather than our goodness; this is a different orientation where our true nature is the focus rather than our vulnerability to evil. In this Gospel we are called into an interior place of recognizing our own divine humanity within.

That's an excerpt from a beautiful new book, The Magdalene Mystique: Living the Spirituality of Mary Today, by Betty Conrad Adam. Thanks to friend Hamza Darrell Grizzle, aka Grateful Bear's Blog for this sharing.
