Video Introduction & The Shape of Our Sessions

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 of 4-5  for collective discus

Because of this, also on that day Yeshua came into fullness of being, coming forth from the Bridal Chamber as a bridegroom with his bride. It was also in this way that the balance of All was established in Yeshua’s heart so that by means of this each of his students might have access to enter into his Rest.

Analogue 49

Analogue 49  Original Soul, World Soul The powers that be can do nothing against those who have been clothed in perfected light. They can neither see nor seize them, for they have been vested with light through the mysteries of spiritual marriage. If the female had not been separated from the male, she would never have died with the male. Her separation, however, became the cause and origin of death. It is for this reason that the Anointed One came that he might remedy this condition by uniting the masculine and the feminine together again. When the feminine and the masculine come together in spiritual union within the Bridal Chamber, therefore, they are no longer separated—a separation which occurred when Adam and Eve united outside the Bridal Chamber. Adam’s soul was brought into being by the Breath whose spouse is the Anointed One. The Spirit gave Adam his soul, for she is the soul’s mother. But because he had not yet been united to the Logos, the dominant powers were able to
