So long ago

In Reference to:
The Meaning of Mary Magdalene

Listening to part one I so enjoy Cynthia's energy and her excitement she brings to her work.  Also her explaination of the term the " the single one" and how it is the transformational state that underlies the dualistic ego operating system was to me eye openning.

I personally have difficulty putting much stock in any interpretation of what happened some two thousand years ago.  I remember Super Bowl 3 when Joe Nameth and the Jets upset the Colts, but I doubt that my version of the game would  come close to the actual film of the game, or for that matter anyone elses version.

I like Cynthia but I would have to ask her how she can put that much belief, or knowing in these "stories" told by others so long ago ?

Looking forward to listening to part 2.

archetype

Hi Bill,

I hope you do not hear this as a form of absolutism but simply as one who recognizes the structure in which one is built, I cannot deny my own body and my own culture and yet humanity from another level blurs these distinctions.

Cynthia talked about imagination, simply asking the question to the Kosmos and trusting in a response without projection. This is a very real and genuine practice, listening to her I know that she too knows of this Reality. Once you are invited or solicit this dialogue you will no longer question it’s validity for you just Know and you know not how. As she described this Naked Being, she outlines our disposition and preparation. I find it a bit distressing that you doubt this, I suspect that nothing short of experience will allow you to trust it, but more than that, this has everything to do with Integral Life and the level of discourse and dominate monad that we follow. What I begin to question though is; what is our foundation, I hear according to this structure where you may hear according to another tradition. This is extremely important to me, the archetype and the character and presence of these Divine person’s: Jesus and Mary Magdelene are inseparable from the framework in which I build my own way of Being.

I suspect that the glue that holds me together can be seen as just that “glue” and this essence can be created with any material, but it is the bodily sensations and matters of the “heart” that gives it it’s transparency.

Stunningly Beautiful dialogue, I am looking forward to part III and reading the book myself.
