A Galaxyful of Love!

*******

Here, the great Work of Love-teaching continues apace. We are starting a federation of cooperating but independent small ministries in order to publicize the great Love with which we are supported in our life-journeys. So far, we have established Love Ministries of Kenya, Love Ministries of India, and Love Ministries of Pakistan. An entire whole world awaits its future growth. I myself am a member of Love Ministries of this galactic quadrant!:)

When it was first discovered that a transplant was needed, six friends sprang into action, and volunteered! To be caught in the delightful "safety-net" of such powerful Love was almost worth the crisis!:)

Currently, working on the "Enlightenment Tradition" Series. It is four books, all finished now and requiring only proofing. The first is an intro to the Enlightenment Tradition, the second discusses that Tradition in Judaism, the third volume in Christianity, and the fourth, in Islamic culture. No idea of when publication will be possible, for it does cost, but this is the one message that can literally save our poor little planet!

Also, just wrote an indepth study of the Nag Hammadi Library of ancient Christian gnosticism, and finished another study of cult-psychology, called The Chosen.

Flora, the Goddess of flowers, is dressing up our world.:) The great wheel of time has turned once again, and once again, the world fills up with the polychromatic splendor of scarlets, canaryellows, and ceruleanblues!:) We do love springtime!

Pneumarium Gathering

*******

We had a hypersupermegablast Sunday at the Pneumarium! At the end, everyone was walking about six inches off the ground! We discussed in some great depth the teachings of the people called gnostics-- the mystics who were the very first Christians. (We now know about them through their own writings, which are fascinating and compelling.)

These beautiful Love-mystics received their teachings directly from Jesus Christ, but their books and records were later banned and burned by the orthodox Church. But the Goddess made sure that they survived, and now, blessedly, we can read them today. They are found in the famous "Nag Hammadi Library."

The library of formerly hidden teachings is the subject of my new book, The Re-enchantment of the World: Astounding Early Christians. After the "abiography," being published now, it is next on our publishing agenda.

You missed a beautiful meal, and a wonderful, delightful, profound Love-sharing. The Presence of the Goddess was palpable!:)

Mystical Sources

*******

The Nag Hammadi Library is a collection of fifty-two tractates (booklets) dating from the fourth century, but whose Greek originals go back probably to the first century. The works are in Coptic (Egyptian written with Greek letters). They represent an alternative Christianity," that of gnosticism, as contrasted with orthodoxy ("Catholic" Christianity). The works are quite profound, and emphasize the interiority of the Christ, "Christ" as contrasted with Jesus, the Goddess Sophia, celestial structures, mystical realizations, etc. (The Library was discovered in 1945.)

Yes, writing can be a very time-consuming activity, but time invested in good writing will create a work that can survive its author; some books have lasted for thousands of years. I owe a great debt to books, and the best way to "pay back" into the system is by writing. For a true writer, there is no greater pleasure than "getting lost" in the writing-experience. Since almost all mystics are "called" to teach, there is no more natural expression personally.
