(The disciples asked: ) “Teach us about the material world. Will it last forever or is everything impermanent?” The Savior (Jesus) answered:
“All that is created, everything that is formed, every natural thing, all exist interdependently in and with each other. Then each will be dissolved again back into its own roots. It is the (way of) nature that everything will eventually decompose back into its own elements. Those who have ears, let them hear.”
Peter said to him:
“While you are explaining everything to us, tell us one more thing: What is the sin of the world?”
The Savior (Jesus) answered:
“There is no such thing as sin, you only make it appear when you act according to the habits of your adulterated nature: that is how ‘sin’ manifests. This is why the Good has to come into your midst, pursuing (the Good) which is in everyone’s true nature, to restore it inwards to its root. This is what sickens and destroys you; it is your love for the things that deceive you. Those who have ears, let them hear. Whoever can understand, let them understand!”
”’Attachment’ to matter gives rise to incomparable suffering, because it goes against your true nature. Then the whole body becomes disturbed. This is why I taught you to find contentment at the level of the heart. When you feel disturbed and out of balance, reclaim wholeness in the presence of all the different forms of your true nature. Those who have ears, let them hear.”
When the Blessed One had said these things, he embraced them all and took his leave, saying
“Peace be with you! Cultivate my peace within yourselves!”
”Be vigilant (mindful), and don’t let anyone lead you astray by saying ‘Here is it’ or ‘There it is’, for the Son of Man, the Child of Your True Humanity, already lives within each one of you. This is what you should follow! I tell you, those who seek this within will surely find it. Go then and proclaim the gospel of the kingdom!”
”Do not lay down any rules other than what I have given you. Do not establish more laws like the lawmaker or else you too will become constrained by them.”
The disciples grieved bitterly, shedding many tears and saying: “How are we supposed to go out preaching to the rest of the world, proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom of the Son of Man? If they did not spare him, then what will become of us?”
Then Mary rose up. She embraced them all, kissing them tenderly and began to speak to her brothers and sisters.
“There is no need to remain stuck in sorrow, grief, and doubt! For this Grace will be with you all; it will guide you, comfort you, shelter and protect you. Rather let us be thankful and praise his greatness, for he has brought us together and prepared us for this. Through him, we too can become fully human.”
Saying these things, Mary turned their hearts inward toward the Good, and they began to wrestle with the meaning of the Savior’s words and to discuss his sayings.
Then Peter said to Mary: “Sister, we know that you are greatly loved by the Savior, more than any other woman. Tell us those words of His that you remember, the things which you know and we don’t; the teachings we never heard.”
And she began by saying these words to them. She said:
Once I saw the Lord in a vision and I said to him: Lord Rabboni, now I see you in this vision. He answered me and said: “Blessed are you Mary, for you do not waver at the sight of me. How wonderful you are! For this where the treasure lies - in (that place where heaven and earth meet, where deep understanding arises in the heart and mind), ‘the nous’.”
I asked him this: “Now tell me Lord, how does a person see such a vision, is it through the agency of their soul or through The Spirit?”
The Savior answered: “It is neither through the soul nor through The Spirit, but through understanding which arises between the two, that is how the vision is seen.”
