In the Gnostic Pistis Sophia , Jesus sits with Mary Magdalene and explains all the mysteries, saying, "Mary, thou blessed one, who will be instructed in all the mysteries of the kingdom."
This is not a story of carnal romance in the modern sense, but a radical, esoteric love story. It is a narrative about the marriage of the masculine and feminine principles of the divine, the union of the Logos (Word) with Sophia (Wisdom), and a partnership that, if understood correctly, holds the key to rebalancing Western spirituality.
