THE GOSPEL OF PHILIP, PART 7
EDITED WITH COMMENTARIES BY SWAMI TANTRASANGHA

CH. 49
And so he dwells either in this world or in the Resurrection or in
the middle place. God forbid that I be found in there! In this world,
there is good and evil. Its good things are not good, and its evil
things not evil. But there is evil after this world which is truly
evil - what is called "the middle". It is death. While we are in this
world, it is fitting for us to acquire the Resurrection, so that when
we strip off the flesh, we may be found in rest and not walk in the
middle. For many go astray on the way. For it is good to come forth
from the world before one has sinned. (To be "Born Again of water and
Holy Spirit" is the "Resurrection of the body from degeneration unto
Regeneration". Death is evil, and the Longer, Healthier, Happier,
Holier Life is Righteousness.)

CH. 50
There are some who neither will nor have the power to; and others
who, if they will, do not profit; for they did not act since [...]
makes them sinners. And if they do not will, justice will elude them
in both cases: and it is always a matter of the will, not the act.

CH. 51
An apostolic man in a vision saw some people shut up in a house of
fire and bound with fiery [...], lying [...] flaming [...], them in
[...] faith [...]. And he said to them, "[...] able to be saved?"
[...], "They did not desire it. They received [...] punishment, what
is called 'the [...] darkness', because he [...]."

CH. 52
It is from water and fire (bioplasma and Holy Spirit) that the soul
and the spirit came into being. It is from water and fire and light
that the son of the bridal chamber (came into being). (The "Son of
the Bridal Chamber" is Genetic Rejuveantion.) The fire is the chrism,
the light is the fire. I am not referring to that (external) fire
which has no form, but to the other fire (of Inner Light) whose form
is white, which is bright and beautiful, and which gives beauty (both
physically and in the Inner Visions).

CH. 53
Truth did not come into the world naked, but it came in types and
images. The world will not receive truth in any other way. There is a
Rebirth and an image of rebirth. It is certainly necessary to be born
again through the image. Which one? Resurrection. (The "Resurrection
from the grave" is the Rebirth of the body.) The image must rise
again through the image. The bridal chamber (the Divine Union of man
and woman) and the image must enter through the image into the truth:
this is the Restoration (of the body). Not only must those who
produce the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, do
so, but have produced them for you. If one does not acquire them, the
name ("Christian") will also be taken from him. (Don't label yourself
a "Christian", unless you have attained the Resurrection or at least
plan to.) But one receives the unction (Water of Life) of the [...]
of the power of the cross. This power the apostles called "the right
and the left." (The two Rejoining as one: the original Holy Trinity.)
For this person is no longer a Christian but a Christ. (Jesus
said: "What I am, you will be...and more!" Christianity is not a
religion about Jesus, but is the religion OF Jesus, and Jesus never
worshipped himself, nor did he ever require such folly of any of His
followers. This heresy of personality worship, was intituted by
Emperor Constantine at the First Council of Nicaea. Since there can
be only one Way to Salvation, the Gnosis about the Marriage Supper of
the Water of Life, was suppressed and labeled a heresy. Give up your
idolatry of scapegoat saviors and devils, and realize it's all about
YOU being devil or Christ! Christ never saved. Christ IS Salvation.
We are saved not by Jesus but by the Christ, which must be placed
inside yourselves. Beware the obsequious sychophants who praise the
name of a man whose teachings they despise! Repent!)

CH. 54
The Lord did everything in a mystery (a secret doctrine, hidden in
symbols and parables) a baptism (Rasa Tantra) and a chrism (the Holy
Spirit) and a eucharist (the "flesh and blood of Christ", symbolized
as bread and wine) and a redemption (from sin) and a bridal chamber
(the Marriage Supper or Rasa Tantra). [...] he said, "I
came to make the (earthly) things below like the things above
(Spiritual, non-physical Inner Sight and Sound), and the things
outside (the world and the body) like those inside (the mind and the
Spirit worlds). I came to unite them (man and woman) in the place
(Nathabadpuri)." [...]here through types [...]and images (of the
Inner Light of Almighty God Within You). (Praise God! Amen.)
