Dear friends, Lynn and I wanted to share with you how we see our work on this Gospel unfolding during each session. At least a week before each session you will receive the commentary for the analogue we will be studying. We recommend you print it. In Lynn's translation (The Luminous Gospels, by Bauman, Baurman and Bourgeault) the gospel is divided into analogues, seventy four in total. We recommend that you read the commentary carefully, probably several times. The commentary refers to images. They are NOT included in what you will receive. You will see the images during our time together and you will receive them afterwards for further reflection. We will begin each session with some silence. Lynn will then spell out the essence of the analogue. We will then open up the space for questions about the commentary. Using one or maybe two of the questions for reflections , which are included in the commentary, we will then break you out into groups...

Analogue 62a (for the deep complexity of this analogue)
Analogue 62 The Theory of Resemblances The child who is born of a woman resembles the one she loves. If it is her husband, then it resembles him, but if she has an extra-marital lover, well then, it looks like him. Strangely, if a woman lies with her husband because he has coerced her, yet her heart lies elsewhere, her offspring will resemble the other one she loves. Those who go in to be with the Son of God are not in love with the system of this world, but rather with the Master, and so those who are conceived by them resemble him, and not this world. It is natural for humans to unite with humans, horses with horses, and donkeys with donkeys. Species unite with like species in the same manner that Spirit unites with Spirit, Logos with Logos, and Light with Light. If you become human, you will be loved by humans. If you become Spirit, the Spirit will unite with you. If you become Logos, the Logos will come to you. If you become Light, the Light will become a companion to you....
