A priori and a posteriori

THE APOSTLE OF THE APOSTLES,

THE WOMAN WHO KNEW ALL

"European mystics and esotericists viewed the androgyne as the primal and also the final perfected man. In other words, at the end of time, the human race is destined to be fused together into one androgynous entity. According to the Encyclopedia of Religion and other occult sources, the fall of man was not due to sin but rather his descent into matter. However, mankind's entrapment in the material realm will one day be reversed and men and women will be restored to their former ethereal and androgynous state: "...the androgyne had existed at the beginning (Adam Kadmon) and will be again at the end of time. Franz von Baader borrowed from Jacob Boehme the conception of Adam's first fall, the sleep in which his celestial companion was separated from him. But, thanks to Christ, man will again become like the angels... Baader considered that a theology presenting 'sin as a disintegration of man, and the redemption and resurrection as his reintegration' would conquer all other theologies." -- Eliade, Mircea, Editor.

"The Catholic Church never wanted its members to know about the true relationship between Jesus and Mary, which is why the Gnostic Gospels were not included in the New Testament and why most Christians do not even know they exist..."According to that censored material, which was deliberately rejected to prevent the true picture from being known, Jesus gave the Magdalene the title of 'Apostle of the Apostles' and 'the Woman Who Knew All.' He said that she would be raised above all the other disciples and rule the forthcoming Kingdom of Light. As we have seen, he also called her 'Mary the Lightbringer'..." -- Picknett, Lynn and Clive Prince. THE TEMPLAR REVELATION: SECRET GUARDIANS OF THE TRUE IDENTITY OF CHRIST, Touchstone, 1998.

"The Herm-aphroditic figure (Hermes + Aphrodite) is the Symbol of the double nature (the Androgyne) anciently assigned to the Deity, as Generator and Producer, as Brahm and Maya among the Aryans, Osiris [Saturn] and Isis [Venus] among the Egyptians. As the Sun was male, so the Moon was female; and Isis was both sister and wife of Osiris. The Compass, therefore, is the Hermetic Symbol of the Creative Deity, and the Square of the productive Earth or Universe..." -- Albert Pike

"My dear Philochatus, you are about to penetrate into the sanctuary of the sublime sciences; my hand is about to raise for you the impenetrable veil which hides from the eyes of common men the tabernacle, the sanctuary wherein the Eternal has lodged the secrets of nature, kept for a few that are privileged, the few Elect whom Her omnipotence (the All-Potential of the No-Thing) created that they may see, and seeing, may soar after Her in the vast expanse of Her Glory and deflect upon mankind one of the Rays that shine round about Her." -- Most Holy Trinosophia, by Compte de St. Germain [1933]
