Miriam's Declaration

...is forthright and candid:

"I had a vision of the Teacher.."

She is not troubled or agitated by this vision, which again is a sign of the inner peace that governs her emotional and psychic powers. This vision is niether a dream, a fantasy, a trance, nor one of those cataleptic states brought about by techniques current in those times (in those days there were numerous schools of prophecy, not unlike our contemporary schools of channeling and mediumship) .
Miriam remains undisturbed, like Teresa of Avila and other later visionaries, she speaks directly to the teacher:

"Lord, I see you now in this vision."

She addresses what she sees, and what she sees addresses her. Thus there is no opposition of word and vision. Just as He did in his mortal existence, the Teacher responds to Miriam's thirst for truth and knowledge:

"You are blessed, for the sight of me does not disturb you."

This is what was written on the page that I happened to open to, in taking this book down from the shelf. It is from The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, by Jean Yves LeLoup, and includes the text with commentary.

"May God become the all in All."

To know the ledge.. one needs go to the edge..
