The Last Anointing by Mary Magdalene
The Last Anointing by Mary Magdalene -
Preparing the Betrayal
About true giving and helping the poor -
The shadows of the human ego prevent one from seeing the light of God;
man then speaks of the "mysteries of God” (1-10)
1. And on the evening of the Sabbath before the Passover, Jesus was in Bethany and went to the house of Simon the leper, where a supper was prepared for Him. And Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
2. And there came Mary called Magdalene, who had an alabaster flask containing a very precious and expensive ointment of spikenard. She opened the flask and poured it on the head of Jesus and anointed His feet and dried them with the hair of her head.
3. Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was to betray Him, said, "Why this waste of ointment? It could have been sold at a good price, and the money given to the poor.” But he did not say that because he cared for the poor, but because he was filled with jealousy and greed and had the purse and was in charge of the money. And they murmured about Magdalene.
4. But Jesus said, "Leave her in peace! Why do you trouble her? She has done all she could. She has done a good deed to Me. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me. She has anointed My body for My burial.
5. Verily, I say to you, wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told there, in memory of her.”
6. Then Satan entered into the heart of Judas Iscariot, and he went his way and conferred with the high priests and elders as to how he could betray Him. And they were glad and agreed with him on thirty pieces of silver, the price of a slave. He promised it to them and sought an opportunity to betray Him.
7. And at that moment, Jesus said to His disciples, "Preach to all people in the world, saying: Strive to receive the mysteries of light and to enter the kingdom of light; for now the time has come for this and now is the day of salvation.
8. Do not postpone it from one day to the next, from one cycle (of the wheel of reincarnation) to the next and from aeon to aeon, thinking that when you return to this world, you will then succeed in gaining the mysteries and entering into the kingdom of light.
9. For you do not know when the number of perfected souls will be complete. For then, the gates of the kingdom of light will be shut and henceforth none will be able to enter, nor will anyone go out.
10. Strive so that you may enter as long as the call
sounds, before the number of the perfect ones is sealed and complete, and the gate is
shut.” (Chap. 65:1-10)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
How often do you hear in this world that "It could have been sold at a good price and the money given to the poor”. Everyone who uses these words should ask himself just how sincerely he means them, how much he himself has contributed to help the poor.
It is not enough to give alms to the poor as the pharisees do, in order to be seen by people.
True giving is to fulfil the law of love and of life. Then, a gift is not the giving of alms, but a true help. Through it, the poor soul in the poor body finds its way to the law of "pray and work” and becomes rich in heart. Then the human being, too, will receive all that he needs to live as a child of God.
Thus, where the gospel of love and of life is first lived and then taught, the poor ones who accept and fulfil it become rich in their hearts; and the poor person, too, will receive what he needs to live as a child of God. The fulfilment of the gospel is what brings about the truly good deeds.
The words "Strive to receive the mysteries of light” mean that the shadows of the human ego veil the light and prevent man from seeing the light of God. Therefore, man speaks of the mysteries of the light, for he is still unable to see it. The one who wants to see behind the mysteries must first look at his shadows and eliminate what he has recognized and what led to the shadows, so that he can find his way to the light of God and enter the Kingdom of God.
Therefore, do not put off what you have recognized to be human, from one day to the next, from one "cycle” to the next, from one aeon to the next, believing that you can still clear it up in one of your next earthly lives. For who of you knows when the wheel of reincarnation will stand still for heavily burdened souls and the gates for such incarnations will be shut?
Recognize that in this earthly existence you should strive to fulfil the laws of God. Therefore, do not postpone from one day to the next the actualization of the holy life, by saying that in a further incarnation after this earthly life you would be more successful in fulfilling the laws of God and in penetrating the veils which prevent you from seeing the light and the life.
Recognize that a person speaks about the mysteries of God as long as he himself has secrets from his fellow man. However, the one who aspires to perfection has no secrets from his fellow man, because the law of God which he fulfils has no secret.
The one who fulfils the laws of love and of life is an open book, and everything is also evident to him.
The grace of God is more intensively effective in this world today [1989]. He, the
Almighty, has once again given a span of time to all souls and people and with it the
possibility to clear up everything that is impure.
