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...

This is the Good News of Philip SYNOPSIS The summary of the journey of unfolding from spiritual birth as a result of union in the Bridal Chamber to its final consummation in the Eternal Now is a strange paradoxical reversal. Receptivity of the summer’s Light is contrasted with the winter scene in Analogue 3....

Analogue 71 Ultimate Reconciliation in Perfect Light As long as evil is hidden and continues to contaminate the seed of the Sacred Spirit, it retains its full potency and is capable of enslaving us by its oppressive force. But as soon as the Perfect Light shines forth pouring itself down upon us, those at its heart receive the anointing. It is precisely then that the slaves are freed and rescued from captivity. So then every seed that my Father in Heaven has not planted shall be uprooted. Those who were separated shall be united, and all who are empty shall be filled, so that everyone may enter into the Bridal Chamber where they will be born into the Light. Their birth shall not be as a result of some unseen union that flares up like a fire in the night and then is extinguished, but rather, as the result of the mystery of Spiritual Marriage, is consummated in the full light of day whose light never ceases nor shall ever be put out. SYNOPSIS Perfect Light is the complete and u...
