The Mary Magdalene Within

by Joan Norton

Advance praise for The Mary Magdalene "The Mary Magdalene Within is an achingly beautiful, powerfully moving, and profoundly original story and teaching. Everyone who has been intrigued by The DaVinci Code will want to read this book. The deeper truth told in this book is that men need to find the divine feminine in the ordinary women who are already around them, and so to be led to discover it also in themselves."-James Lawler, contributing author, Mel Gibson's Passion and PhilosophyEarly one morning in April 1996, author Joan Norton took up her writing instruments and asked her Cosmic Intelligence (as she calls her inner guidance) what "they" wanted her to write about. She was told that Mary Magdalene wanted to speak through her. The result of this intense emotional experience is The Mary Magdalene Within.In many current texts, Mary Magdalene is acclaimed as the root of Christian wisdom-as well as one of its most controversial figures. In The Mary Magdalene Within, details of her teachings are disclosed as she leads the reader into a profound experience of the Sacred Feminine. In Norton's first person narrative, Mary Magdalene describes the extraordinary story of her life and her love for Jesus.

An interesting mix of Jungian ideas and gnostic concepts. I liked the idea of Jesus possessing both feminine and masculine inside, being both mother and father.
