The Unknown Lives of Jesus and Mary
Afterword

We have now come to the end of the many texts that tell us much more about the lives of Jesus and Mary than is commonly supposed. Their value is great, for they broaden our understanding of what Christianity really was in its original form–a far more vibrant and conscious movement than what we see today in its place.

I only included actual texts on the lives of Jesus and Mary, but there is also considerable material obtained from Christian mystics regarding Their lives. This material consists of records of the visions in which those holy devotees witnessed the lifes of Jesus and Mary as impressed in what is sometimes called “the akashic records.” That material was not relevant for this study, but it is nonetheless true and valuable, and I recommend that you obtain the following: The Biblical Revelations of Anna Catherine Emmerich, The Mystical City of God by Mary of Agreda, The Visions of Teresa Neuman, and Raphael Brown’s The Life of Mary as Seen by the Mystics1.

What now remains is for us to become living Gospels ourselves as we endeavor to manifest the inner Christ that abides within us all.

“And may God, Who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, shine into your hearts to give you the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Amen.”2
