  • 1. With Gregorian Chant from the Cathedral of Chartres, build on her Gospel, sung by Patricia van Oosten

2. The eye of the visionis within the soul.Let those who have the visionsee.Those that would listen,let them hear.For those that listenwill hear the breath ofSilence.And then the Lord said:Let us returnto our true nature. 3. Page 2And I say unto you:You can open your heart to Love.Love has no bounds.Love must be unfettered on alllevels.Love does not cry: murder,as this darkens our very soul.How can we kill that which we love?Love does not cry: hate,for how can we hate,when to do so we would hateourselves in the same process? 4. Page 3Love does not cry: Greed!;How can we take more thanthat which is the measure ofour capacity?Love does not fear.How can we fear? For we knowwhat we fear is not real.Love does not lust.How can we grasp after whatwe have already? 5. Page 4Love does not envy;Love knows we have all.Love does not steal, as thiswould take away the veryheart of our giving, which isLove.Love does not cry:Judgement!;Love is not bound to scales ofmore or less.It is the self-sustainer of itsown balance.How can we judge, lest we bejudged? 6. Page 5Love does not blame.To be blameless is the true gift.Love does not discriminateas discrimination is not thetruth.Love does not lie.This is just fear to hide behind.Love transcends All.The Breath of life is Love. 7. Page 6All that is composed is ofthe elements, and it is yourattachment to this structurethat has no permanence.Attachment to your corruptnature is that which bindsyou to matter and to illusionand suffering.Attachment to matter is aforce to be reckoned with!Those who have ears, letthem hear. 8. Page 7Mary then questioned her Master,saying: Describe to us the nature ofmatter. What is matter? Is it eternal?Or, at the end of an aeon, will it bedestroyed?And the Lord replied:That which is born and that whichis created within the elements ofnature are woven within and relatedto one another.All that is composed shall bedecomposed and will return to itsorigins. Matter returns to theprinciple that sent it forth, aseverything returns to its roots.Those who have ears, let them hear. 9. Peter said, You have taught us of theelements of life and matter, and of how allthe world is woven from them. Tell us, whatis the sin of the world, that it should die?The Lord answered, Matter has no sin. Sinhas no real existence; it is you yourselveswho create it when, as in the nature ofadultery, you are unfaithful to your truenature and act within the habit of yourcorrupt nature.That is why the gift of the Christ Light wasput into your heart, and why I came intoyour midst, to restore every soul to itsSource.The Lord continued, That is why youbecome sick, and why you die; it is the resultof your actions, which takes you away fromyour Source.Those that would listen, let them hear! 10. Page 8Matter gave birth to a passion that has noequal, a passion for itself, which is contraryto Divine nature.Matter caused powerful passions to enterinto you, forces which arise from theattraction of opposites (duality).Thus are you pulled apart, and adisharmony arises to disturb unitythroughout its whole body.This is why I tell you, be at one; be inharmony, one with another.If your courage fails you and you feel out ofsorts, go out into nature, and take heartfrom its manifestations of beauty andharmony with the Divine nature.Those who have ears, let them hear!When the Blessed One had said thesethings, He greeted them all, saying: Peacebe unto you, receive my peace intoyourselves. Allow no one to lead you astrayby saying, Lo, he is here! or, Lo, he is there! 11. For my truth is within you; It iswithin your heart that the Son ofGod dwells.And I tell you, I live within all.If you seek the Son of God, followafter Him to your innermostwherein He dwells.Go within; those who seek Himwill find Him.Walk forth, and teach the truth -the Gospel of the Kingdom. 12. Page 9 Do not impose any rules beyond what Iappointed you, and take care not to lay down alaw like the lawgiver, lest you be ensnared in itsconstraints and lose your freedom.When the Lord had said these words, Hedeparted. The disciples grieved, they sorrowedand shed tears, saying: How can we go amongstthe Gentiles and announce the Gospel of theKingdom of the Son of God? If they would notspare our Lord, they will assuredly not spare us!Then Mary arose; embraced each one, andbegan to speak words of comfort to herbrethren, saying gently:Take heart! He will be with you always. Do notremain in sorrow or in doubt, for our Lord willguide and protect you. Instead, let us praise hismagnitude; he has prepared us for what liesahead and is calling upon us to become fullyhuman.In saying this, Mary lifted their hearts towardsthe good, and they began to discuss theteachings of Jesus. 13. I will now reveal to you that which hasnot yet been made known to you.I had a vision of our Lord, and I saidunto him, Lord, I see you now in avision. And he said unto me:Mary, you are blessed, for myappearance does not make you afraid.Where the nous (awareness in itself) is,there lies the treasure.I replied to him, Lord, when someonemeets you in a vision, is it through oursoul that we are able to see you, or is itthrough our spirit?And the Lord answeredMary, it is neither. But it is the nousbetween the two which sees the vision,and it is this which makes us fullyhuman. 14. Page 11When we become fully human, webecome one whole body of light, theOne breath.When we join that One breath webecome whole; we become at-one.The breath conjoins life-death-life atthe mid-point which is the heart, calledthe noon of our being (Awarenessitself). This is where the nous lies.We are all aspects of life, of One being,of One whole.All aspects of life have to be overcome.It is true that everything in our physicalstructure is composed, and willdecompose.But we can overcome this process. 15. Page 12All that is composed is of theelements, and our attachment is tothis structure. Dissociate your soulfrom matter! (But dont deny it, justdont confuse your Self with it).Once the two are apart the ascentcan begin. The awareness of breath(life) sustains the soul and gives itlife, and it is this which detachesyou from matter.It is through the nous (awarenessitself) that we see, for it is the eye ofthe vision within the soul. And it iswith the vision of the nous that weovercome the without, within(duality of all). 16. Page 13We can overcome the fourelements of our attachment tomatter, illusion and suffering, andall the oppressions of the soul.And I listened to my Master, and Ifelt my soul ascending.And as the soul ascended to thefirst element (earth), the soulasked:Why are we afraid of death? Fordeath itself is not fearful. It is theattachment of (or identificationwith) our body that causes fear toarise. 17. Page 14And Fear replied: Why are youafraid of the darkness? And the soul answered: Fear, whydo you hide in the darkness?I have known you, and your power,but it is you who are afraid.And the soul left with grace andcontinued to the second element(Water).On reaching the second element,Desire was taken aback at thesouls arrival, having neither seenit nor expected it. 18. Page 15And Desire said: I did not see youdescend, but I see you now, ascending.Why do you pretend to ascend? Why doyou lie, when you know you are mine?And the soul replied: I saw you, but youdid not recognise me. Nor did you see me,because your power urged me to give you abody, which you thought was yours.I served you as a garment and you neverknew it was me (Soul). You never felt me,and now that I have reclaimed myself, youare without the body I gave you, and youcannot recognise me.When this was said, the soul left, rejoicinggreatly.When the soul entered the third element,which was Ignorance, Ignorancequestioned the soul: 19. Page 16Where do you think you are going,you who are dominated by wickedinclinations? What are you thinking?How can you possibly want to leaveme? Indeed, you have nodiscrimination at all, and you areclearly out of your mind. The soul answered: Why do youjudge me, as I have not passedjudgement on you? I have beenoppressed, but I myself do notoppress. I have not been recognised,but I myself recognise that all thingswhich are composed shall bedecomposed, on earth and in heaven;not only earthly structures, but alsothe things of the psyche (air). Youmay think you are eternal, but youare not.On hearing this, Ignorance was slain. 20. Page 17Freed from the third element, the soulascended to the fourth element, the fourthis Fear of Death; expressed in anger, theunenlightened element of Fire.The fifth is the Power of the Flesh; whichhas seven manifestations. The first isDarkness; the second is Desire; the third isIgnorance the sixth is Foolish (impure orguileful) Wisdom; the seventh is Self-righteous Materialism.These are the seven powers of wrath, Andthey tried to overcome the soul withquestions so that it might lose its footing.Where have you come from, Murderer?and Where are you going, Slayer of Space?But the soul, poised in radiance, answeredjoyfully: That which bound me has beenslain. That which enveloped me hasvanished. My desires are no more, and Ihave overcome the fetters of my ignorance. 21. Page 18In an age of Darkness I escaped theworld with the aid of the supernalworld.My emotional attachment tomatter, which determined mylimitations, was erased by virtue ofa higher design. I was released from the fetter ofIgnorance which seems eternal, butis only transient.Henceforth I am centred in Repose,and until matter has run its coursemy sanctuary will be encompassedin unassailable peace. 22. Oblivion:I go now into Silence.Having said this, Mary fel silent, for shehad given the secret teaching of herLord.Andrew then began to speak, saying:You can say what you like about whatshe has said; I, for one, do not believe aword of it. I cannot believe that theSaviour would speak of such strangenotions!Peter joined in his refutation, saying inanger: It is not possible that the Lordspoke of these things in this mannerwith a woman, saying nothing of themto us! Are we then to humble ourselvesbefore a woman, to turn about and alllisten to her? Are we asked to believethat he really preferred her to us? 23. Page 19At this, Mary wept and said to Peter:My brother Peter, what can you bethinking? Why do you not believethe words of our Lord? Do you reallythink that this is all my own fancy, orthat I would lie about the Saviour?At this point, Levi rebuked Peter,saying: Peter, you have always beenhot-headed. And now we see youdoubting a woman as worthy asMary, just as our adversaries woulddo. If our Lord held Mary in highesteem, who are you to question herintegrity and reject her words?We all know our Lord loved Mary ina way that He loved no other. 24. Therefore let us make amends.Let us do as our Lord has taught.Let us express brotherhood one toanother, and to all, and becomefully human so that the Saviourcan flourish in us.Let us grow according to histeachings, and walk abroad tospread the gospel, without layingdown any rules and laws otherthan the Law of Christ. Let usseparate as he commanded us,and preach his truth.And when they heard his words,they began to go forth to proclaimand to preach. 25. Mary whom Jesus called TheMagdalene (the enlightenedone) was secretely calledMystic Rose, because herEvangely became forbidden.The book was known as theBook of Love and inspiredmany esoteric Christiansduring ages. She was theinspiration behindGlastonbury, Chartes, theCartares, the Rosecroix etc.She has grown the fruit ofJesus gift by preserving hisreal teachings for those whocan hear now. 26. It is my hope that alsoChristian inspired people findthis inner teaching. That youpractice on a daily base tomake yourself loosened fromthe unenlightened qualities ofthe elements with what youconfuse yourself. And that byreleasing these, theChristmind may flourish inyou and take over.For more guidance andinspiration also on holisticsinging go to:www.mysticrose.nl
