The Gospel of Mary: Chapter 4 Fragments

"Will matter then be destroyed or not?"

The Savior said, all nature, all form, all creatures exist in and with each other. They will dissolve again into their own root. For the nature of matter is dissolved into what belongs to its nature. Whoever has ears to hear should hear.

Peter said to him, you have been explaining every topic to us; tell us one other thing. What is the sin of the world?

The Savior replied, there is no such thing as sin; rather you yourselves are what produces sin when you act in accordance with the nature of adultery, which is called sin. For this reason, the Good came among you, pursuing the good that belongs to every nature. It will set it within its root.

Then he continued, He said, This is why you get sick and die: because you love what deceives you. Anyone who thinks should consider these matters.

Matter gave birth to a passion that has no Image because it derives from what is contrary to nature. A disturbing confusion then occurred in the whole body.

That is why I told you, become content at heart, while also remaining discontent; indeed, become contented only in the presence of every true Image of nature. Whoever has ears to hear should hear.

When the Blessed One had said this, He greeted them all saying Peace be with you. Acquire my peace within yourselves.

Beware that no-one leads you astray saying lo here or lo there. For the Son of Man is within you. Follow after Him. Those who seek Him will find Him.

Go then and preach the gospel of the Kingdom. Do not lay down any rule beyond what I determined for you, nor promulgate law like the lawgiver lest you be constrained by it.

When He said this He departed from them.
