Gospel of Mary Magdalene 4

Mary

And she began to speak: 'I had a vision of the Lord and I said to him: Master, you appeared to me today in a vision.'

2He answered: 'Blessed are you, for not having wavered at seeing me. For where the mind is there is a treasure.'

3I said to him: 'Master, does he who has a vision see with the soul or as spirit?'

4Jesus answered: 'He sees neither with the soul nor with the spirit, but with consciousness, which is between both.'

5The soul answered desire: 'I saw you. You did not see me, nor did you recognize me.'

6'You used me as adornment and you did not recognize me.'

7After saying this, the soul went away, exultant with joy.
