Joan of Arc – “She listened to the voice of love inside her, and she believed it enough to let it guide her. Give yourself the gift of immersing yourself in the profound love accessible to all that Meggan magnificently illuminates [in this book]. Both the content and the message lead inward toward the identity, power, and freedom of the true Self.
Tell us the words of the Savior that you remember, the things which you know that we don’t because we haven’t heard them. MEGG facilitates the HOUSE OF MARY MAGDALENE—an online community that studies ancient scripture (mostly the bits the bible left out) and mediates together to live in service of love. The word soul to me describes that eternal aspect of our being; an aspect that allows us to feel loved, and to experience that we are love. the book is more like a 'diary' of the authors religious experience which also includes Mary Magdalene.
g. John 3:16) that Jesus paid for the sins of others, and whosoever believe in him as a savior will find everlasting peace.
There’s this acute awareness that the soul is this presence of love within us; and that no matter what, this is what can never be lost. As the calendar turned to December, I thought it would be the perfect time to read something about Christianity, and Meggan Watterson’s book found its way to my nightstand. Goodreads Synopsis: A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. It certainly hasn’t ever added up, there has always been something missing, something that rendered the scales uneven, surely this man who turned the world upside down would not exclude women from his ministry?The parts of the book that are about the history of Mary and the work done to suppress her story (and the stories of other important women in early Christianity) are the most interesting. It's about acquiring a vision that allows us to see what has always been here, within us, about being present, expanding awareness, rather than getting caught up in the endless stories the ego tells, it's about 'waking up to the fact that our system of understanding the world is no longer serving us. So not to go blindly: it's an analyses of Mary Magdalene's gospel put into context and wrote from a feminist perspective.
If you’ve ever felt like there’s a big hole in the story of Jesus Christ – and indeed Christianity (like I did) – you will want to add Mary Magdalene Revealed to your bookshelf right away. A parallel in more recent history is the Southern churches before the Civil War who were all full of moral fervor for slavery. With deep honesty, soulful artistry, and intellectual rigor, Meggan brings us a picture of the real Mary Magdalene—the one who is alive in each of our hearts—and leads us through how to experience and live from the Christ in each of us in our daily lives. I get the sense that Watterson is preaching to the choir in this book- it reads very much as if the reader is already convinced. It was recommended by a friend whose perspective on life, love of all creatures, acceptance, curiosity, empathy, calm and action I greatly respect.Becoming a Christian in my early twenties and belonging to a church community was the closest I ever came to feeling as though I'd found it . Meggan Watterson has a poetic way of writing and weaving words together; I look forward to reading her first book Reveal. I felt immediately connected to the understanding of my own frustrations with conventional Christianity and it’s explained why I had vehemently rejected it so many years ago. I believe Spirit shows up and manifests in so many different ways, and that the Spirit indwelling in each of us imparts a bit of sacred divinity. I suspect she was aiming at something along the lines of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love but it is nowhere close to that book.
