THE GOSPEL OF PHILIP, PART 3
EDITED WITH COMMENTARIES BY SWAMI TANTRASANGHA

CH. 17
Some are afraid lest they rise naked. Because of this they wish to
rise in the flesh, and they do not know that it is those who wear the
flesh who are naked. It is those who [...] to unclothe themselves who
are not naked. "Flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God"
(1 Cor. 15:50). (Flesh and blood, if it is degenerating and without
the Inner Light and Sound of the Holy Spirit, is outside our
Salvation.) What is this which will not inherit? This which is on
us. But what is this, too, which will inherit? It is that which
belongs to Jesus and his blood. (Our blood must be a mixture of male
and female hormones and DNA, as was the blood of Jesus, when he
combined with Mary Magdalene.) Because of this he said "He who shall
not eat my flesh and drink my blood has not life in him" (Jn 6:53).
(If you don't consume the Genetic Efflux of the Marriage Supper of
the Lamb of God, you have not Resurrected from degeneration unto
Regeneration.)
What is it? His flesh is the word, and his blood is the Holy Spirit.
(He practiced what he preached, and the Promise of an Immortal Body
became realized in his own body, thus making the Word into flesh.
Without the Androgynous Blood of Regeneration, the Holy Spirit, Chi,
or Kundalini cannot rise to the brain. Jesus said: "Ye must be Born
Again of water and Spirit".)
He who has received these has food and he has drink and clothing.
(The Gospel is all about Sacramental food and drink.) I
find fault with the others who say that it (in this case, the
body "rising", as it were, "from the grave".) will not rise. Then both
of them are at fault. You say that the flesh will not rise. But tell
me what will rise, that we may honor you. You say the Spirit (is) in
the flesh, and it is also this light in the flesh. (Since the
Androgyny of the Bioplasma is the Way, whereby we can see this Inner
Light. As Jesus said: "When thine eye is single, thy whole body will
be filled with Light".) (But) this too is a
matter which is in the flesh, for whatever you shall say, you say
nothing outside the flesh. It is necessary to rise in this flesh,
since everything exists in it. (Like Jesus said: "If you don't attain
the Kingdom of Heaven while in the body, you will not attain it after
you die". That is why Hindu shastra states: "Don't die outside
Varanasi" - the conjoining of two rivers into one. Prana must be in
Shushumna Nadi - the Central Channel - for Kundalini to rise to the
head. If Kundalini Shakti is in the Third Eye or exiting from the God
Chakra at the top of the head, at the moment when one dies, the
energy and the vision you had in the body will remain with you after
you die, much like the energy liberated from a battery when it is
destroyed. This is a very important concept!) In this world, those
who put on garments are better than the garments. In the Kingdom of
Heaven, the garments are better than those that put them on. (Jesus
speaks of the "Wedding Garment", and stated, in the Bible, that
without it, we are "cast into outer darkness" - perhaps an
overstatement, but it is wise to prepare for survival, either
physically or Spiritually or both.)

CH. 18
It is through water and fire that the whole place is purified - the
visible by the visible, the hidden by the hidden. There are some
things hidden through those visible. There is water in water, there
is fire in chrism. (John the baptist said: "I baptize you with water,
but one comes after me who will baptize you with the Fire of Holy
Spirit" - the same fire that lit Elijah's altar, whereby his
sacrifice of water was proven true, thus igniting the wrath of
Jezebel "the whore" or puta. Elijah lamented: "I alone remain. They
don't seek my council, and they seek to take my life". Fire is a
symbol for the Holy Spirit or Kundalini. By being "Born again of
water and Spirit", we know that God has "accepted our sacrifice", but
most people are like Cain, who was jealous, because his brother's
sacrifice was accepted, but his was not.)

CH. 19
Jesus took them all by stealth, for he did not appear as he was, but
in the manner in which they would be able to see him. (It is said
that the "Divine Body" is as was Jesus at the Transmutation on the
mount. It is said that Jesus looked normal, then became pure Light,
then changed his form, then disappeared! There is still much to learn
about the physical changes in the Resurrected Body.) He appeared to
them all. He appeared to the great as great. He appeared to the small
as small. He appeared to the angels as an angel, and to men as a man.
Because of this, his word hid itself from everyone. Some indeed saw
him, thinking that they were seeing themselves, but when he appeared
to his disciples in glory on the mount, he was not small. He became
great, but he made the disciples great, that they might be able to
see him in his greatness. (In looking at others, we see our own
idiosyncrasies. We tend to see much of ourselves in others. For
example, a liar would be looking for a lie, etc. This is an
impediment to seeing what is actually there. Have you noticed that
those who don't give, find it difficult to receive?)

CH. 20
He said on that day in the thanksgiving, "You who have joined the
perfect Light with the Holy Spirit, unite the angels with us also, as
being the images (of Inner Light)." Do not despise the lamb (True
Sacrifice), for without it, it is not possible to see the king(dom).
No one will be able to go in to the king if he is naked (without a
Wedding Garment). (This whole Secret Doctrine, as Helena Blavatsky
called it, is about the Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist, symbolized
by Marriage, Baptism, wine and bread. These are all but symbols for
the flesh and blood of Christ, which, again, symbolizes Genetic
Efflux, exchanged and consumed by man and wife, in the Marriage
Supper of the Lamb of God, which we Hindus call Rasa Tantra.)

CH. 21
The heavenly man has many more sons than the earthly man. If the sons
of Adam are many, although they die, how much more the sons of the
perfect man, they who do not die but are always begotten (always
Regenerating themselves). The father makes a son, and the son has not
the power to make a son. For he who has been begotten has not the
power to beget, but the son gets brothers for himself, not sons. (As
in the story of Abraham, God's sacrifice was his "Only-Begotten Son",
symbolized by blood sacrifice. We forego copulation and childbirth,
in preference of the Higher Cause of Genetic Rejuvenation. Instead of
pouring seed outwards to make children, we put it back in the body
for Regeneration.) All who are begotten in the world are begotten in
a natural way, and the others are nourished from the place whence
they have been born. (The Book of Genesis has the story of cows who
Conceived from drinking water from a trough with phallic rods in it.
Of the "Rod of Moses", we Hindus say: "Lingum erect - That is
correct!" You must overcome your indoctrination against these
Hermetic Naturopathic Principles. We are "Born Again" from the water
we drink and the food we avoid.) It is from being promised to the
heavenly place that man receives nourishment. [...] him from the
mouth. (As in ancient Egyptian religion, we inherit the Kingdom of
the Sun by "eating sepulcheral meals".) And had the word gone out
from that place, it would be nourished from the mouth and it would
become perfect. For it is by a kiss (not copulation) that the perfect
(Re)conceive and give (Re)birth. For this reason we also kiss one
another. We receive (Re)conception from the grace which is in one
another. (Man and wife give each other the Rebirth - the most
valuable gift of all! Otherwise, they are just using each other.
Ladies, I think it is time for you to demand of your man that he give
you your beauty back or else! Much is made of oral sex, but the devil
insists it not be for God, but only for lust. Urine Therapists drink
their own but not their spouse's, since that would be for God.
Repent!)

CH. 22
There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother,
and her sister, and Magdalene, the one who was called his companion.
His sister and his mother and his companion were each a Mary.
(Elsewhere, it states: "Mary Magdalene was His consort, and they
kissed a lot" - His Tantric Shakti Ma! Does the Gospel have more love
than you previously thought? Jai Om.)
