THE GOSPEL OF PHILIP, PART 13
EDITED WITH COMMENTARIES BY SWAMI TANTRASANGHA

CH. 92
Blessed is the one who on no occasion caused a soul [...]
(discomfort). That person is Jesus Christ. He came to the whole place
and did not burden anyone. Therefore, blessed is the one who is like
this, because he is a perfect man. For the Word tells us that this
kind is difficult to define. How shall we be able to accomplish such
a great thing? How will he give everyone comfort? (By the
Resurrection of the body into the Holy Spirit.) Above all, it is not
proper to cause anyone distress - whether the person is great or
small, unbeliever or believer - and then give comfort only to those
who take satisfaction in good deeds. Some find it advantageous to
give comfort to the one who has fared well. He who does good deeds
cannot give comfort to such people, for he does not seize whatever he
likes. He is unable to cause distress, however, since he does not
afflict them. To be sure, the one who fares well sometimes causes
people distress - not that he intends to do so; rather, it is their
own wickedness which is responsible for their distress. He who
possesses the qualities (of the perfect man) bestows joy upon the
good. Some, however, are terribly distressed by all this. (In the
Book of Mormon, the people complained to Nephi: "You speak hard
things". Nephi answered that it was only hard because they made it
hard. In order to reach the Righteous, the True Revealed Gospel had
to pass through many unrighteous minds and hands. In order to Save a
few, many had to distress themselves about the simple fact that they
don't deserve Salvation. Otherwise, they would have desired it, and
would have attained it.)

CH. 93
There was a householder who had every conceivable thing, be it son or
slave or cattle or dog or pig or corn or barley or chaff or grass or
[...] or meat and acorn. Now he was a sensible fellow, and he knew
what the food of each one was. He served the children bread [...]. He
served the slaves [...] and meal. And he threw barley and chaff and
grass to the cattle. He threw bones to the dogs, and to the pigs he
threw acorns and slop. (This reminds me of St. Albert's advice to St.
Thomas Aquinas: Don't give the wrong food to the wrong animal, or
there will be problems. The unavoidable giving of this Gnosis to all,
has created danger for the Saints of God, at the hands of the evil.
The Water of Life is fed to Saints, while hog slop is thrown into the
pig waller. Like Jesus said: "Don't throw pearls before swine". But,
of course, in order to publish this New Dispensation of Gnosis, we
had no alternative but to do exactly that.) Compare the disciple of
God: if he is a sensible fellow, he understands what discipleship is
all about. The bodily forms will not deceive him, but he will look at
the condition of the soul of each one and speak with him. (Dr. Martin
Luther King had a dream in which men would be judged, not by outward
appearances, but by "the content of their character". In order to
find the Truth, you must first see the deceptions, for where there is
the Light of Truth, the shadows of falsehood will not be far away.)
There are many animals in the world which are in a human form. (Those
who do not have Righteousness, are as animals in human form. These
negative animalistic character attributes are: 1. Ignorance instead
of Knowledge, 2. Illogical Irrationality instead of Reason, 3.
Deceptive Dishonesty instead of Honorable Integrity, 4. Selfish
Arrogance instead of Philanthropic Humility, and, 5. Wrathful Hate
instead of Unselfish Love. In dealing with them, it indeed seems like
the hopelessness of preaching to a less intelligent species. The
outer forms, words, and deceptions are well-discerned by the wise,
who are thus able to avoid many traps and much entrapment by these
evil harm-doers.) When he identifies them, to the swine he will throw
acorns, to the cattle he will throw barley and chaff and grass, to
the dogs he will throw bones. To the slaves he will give only the
elementary lessons, to the children he will give the complete
instruction. (Those who are immediately against Salvation Science,
will generally remain unsaved for additional millennia of time, in
forms and places, usually less pleasant than this world, where
Salvation is freely offerred to so many undeserving souls, who, like
the fictional "Dracula", have an unfounded aversion to the "cross" of
Jesus and His Gospel of the "cross-breathing" of man and mate.)

CH. 94
There is the Son of Man and there is the son of the Son of Man. The
Lord is the Son of Man, and the son of the Son of Man is he who
creates through the Son of Man. The Son of Man received from God the
capacity to create. He also has the ability to beget. He who has
received the ability to create is a creature. He who has received the
ability to beget is an offspring. He who creates cannot beget. He who
begets also has power to create. Now they say, "He who creates
begets". But his so-called "offspring" is merely a creature. Because
of [...] of birth, they are not his offspring but [...]. He who
creates works openly, and he himself is visible. He who begets,
begets in private, and he himself is hidden, since [...] image. Also,
he who creates, creates openly. But one who begets, begets children
in private.

CH. 95
No one can know when the husband and the wife have intercourse with
one another, except the two of them. Indeed, marriage in the world is
a mystery for those who have taken a wife. If there is a hidden
quality to the marriage of defilement, how much more is the undefiled
marriage a true mystery! It is not fleshly, but pure. It belongs not
to desire, but to the will. It belongs not to the darkness or the
night, but to the day and the light. If a marriage is open to the
public, it has become prostitution, and the bride plays the harlot
not only when she is impregnated by another man, but even if she
slips out of her bedroom and is seen. Let her show herself only to
her father and her mother, and to the friend of the bridegroom and
the sons of the bridegroom. These are permitted to enter every day
into the Bridal Chamber. But let the others yearn just to listen to
her voice and to enjoy her ointment, and let them feed from the
crumbs that fall from the table, like the dogs. Bridegrooms and
brides belong to the Bridal Chamber. No one shall be able to see the
bridegroom with the bride unless he become such a one. (Jesus said
there are two kinds of marriages: Marriages in the Light, which are
the Tantric Union of the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God",
mentioned in the Book of Revelations. The other is the
usual "marriage in the night": A whorehouse contract between a horny
man and a materialistic "whore". Seed is poured out into lust and
procreation or just simply thrown out or spilled on the ground,
following ejaculation from vented lust. The Bible has a story of a
man who was cursed, because he ejaculated his semen onto the ground.
With all this Apana or outflow of semen and urine, the unregenerate
couple might soon have a new-born child, thus increasing nuptial
materialism, in order to feed more mouths, while Salvation from
Suffering becomes ever more elusive for the slaves of unregenerate
bondage.)
