I have left no commandment but what I have commanded you, and I have given you no law, as the lawgiver did, lest you be bound by it.вЂќ Go, therefore, and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Follow him those who seek him will find him. Take heed lest anyone lead you astray with the words, вЂLo, here!вЂ™ or вЂLo, there!вЂ™ for the Son of Man is within you. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.вЂќ When the Blessed One said this, he greeted all of them, saying вЂњPeace be with you. For this reason I said to you, Be of good courage, and if you are discouraged, still take courage over against the various forms of nature. Then there arises a disturbance in the whole body. The Savior said, вЂњSin as such does not exist, but you make sin when you do what is of the nature of fornication, which is called вЂsin.вЂ™ For this reason the Good came into your midst, to the essence of each nature, to restore it to its root.вЂќ He went on to say, вЂњFor this reason you come into existence and die whoever knows may know a suffering which has nothing like itself, which has arisen out of what is contrary to nature. Peter said to him, вЂњSince you have now explained all things to us, tell us this: what is the sin of the world?вЂќ. The Savior said, вЂњAll natures, all formed things, all creatures exist in and with one another and will again be resolved into their own roots, because the nature of matter is dissolved into the roots of its nature alone. The first form is darkness, the second desire, the third ignorance, the fourth is the excitement of death, the fifth is the kingdom of the flesh, the sixth is the foolish wisdom of flesh, the seventh is the wrathful wisdom. This is very similiar to this portion of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, вЂњ When the soul had overcome the third power, it went upwards and saw the fourth power, (which) took seven forms. These passages are much like The Tibetan Book of the Dead which reveals the Peaceful and Wrathful Dieties a soul encounters during its journey after it has separated from the body at death. This is very similiar to the Taoist concept of Oneness as expressed in Chapter 34 of Tao Teh Ching, Speaking of the Tao it says вЂњ All things derive their life from it All things return to it, and it contains them.вЂќДЄnother portion of The Gospel of Mary Magdalene describes a soulвЂ™s journey after death and the challenges it overcomes. Jesus is quoted as saying that вЂњAll natures, all formed things, all creatures exist in and with one another and will again be resolved into their own roots, because the nature of matter is dissolved into the roots of its nature alone.вЂќ The Gospel of Mary Magdalene has Taoist and Buddhist concepts presented in first century Christian Semantics.
