Mary Magdalene's Forbidden GNOSTIC Vision | The Gospel of Mary Magdalene Explained

Occulys

148,076 views

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is one of the most controversial and esoteric lost texts from early Christianity, challenging traditional views of women's roles in the early church. In this analysis, we explore Mary Magdalene's secret teachings about the soul's ascent through cosmic powers, her special relationship with Jesus, and the dramatic confrontation with Peter who questioned her spiritual authority. This ancient Gnostic text redefines sin, locates salvation in inner knowledge rather than external authority, and presents Mary as the most spiritually advanced disciple. We'll unpack the philosophical influences from Platonism and Stoicism, examine why this gospel was suppressed, and reveal how it preserved a vision of Christianity where spiritual authority transcends gender and comes from understanding rather than institutional power.

My grandfather wasn't educated. He only went as far as the sixth grade. He was, however, one of the smartest and most observant men I have known. As I explore the gnostic traditions, I cannot help a smile when I recall how many times he said, "Christianity went wrong the first time someone kissed Peter's ring."

I remember when my dad taught me about Gnosticism. It felt like my entire world had shattered, but it made so much sense, way more sense than any other narrative I had heard before. For the first time, the idea that something wasn’t quite right with this world didn’t feel like madness, it felt like truth. Everything I’d been taught to accept as “normal” suddenly looked hollow, like a play staged to keep us distracted from what really matters. It was both terrifying and freeing, realizing that ignorance isn’t peace, it’s a cage you learn to decorate

Thank you for all you do and keeping background music low. Lower is better (my view).

Thank you for sharing these teachings of the gospel of Mary Magdalene. This provides a deeper understanding of why the gospel of Mary Magdalene was rejected by the early church members and apostles. It sheds light on the fear that the relational teachings of Jesus may be more easily understood and received by a feminine presence.

Excellent! I'm reading "The Meaning of Mary Magdalene: Discovering the Woman at the Heart of Christianity" - it's incredible. Listening to this to solidify some ideas. Love all of your art selected as well. Thank you!

It's not about making the women men, I believe it's embracing the Divine masculine and the divine feminine so we can reach the one true God!

Thank you. I really love your channel. Your pace and tone has remarkable quality to it. It really allows the time needed in order to hear, digest, and understand the material being spoken. Your tone allows for the material to be consumed any hours of the day and night. It’s a great listen to wake up too, just as it is also a great listen to fall asleep, and everything in between. Please don’t change a thing! Unfortunately I’ve rarely ever been in a great position financially and, money and wealth has never been my strong suit, to put it lightly. So donating to channels has never been an option for me, but one day I hope to do so and yours will be at the top of a very very short list!
I’d love to help your ch. grow anyway I can, so I subscribe, like and comment on as many of your vids as I can. Keep up the great word my friend. GOD speed and GOD bless you!!!!!

I love your work. Thank you so much for doing this. It’s been so wonderful to learn this. You have a clarity in your descriptions and reflections that contains real truth. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I have been experiencing a spiritual transformation through the use of self inquiry questions found in the sedona method. After cleaning out enough fear I started seeing fear more easily and building the mental muscles to release it rather than fall into it.

Your descriptions contain the most truth and absence of fear that I have found online. Thank you for doing the work to offer this gift.
