THREE
VOICES OF EASTER
by
Leland Jamieson
Sources:
Your Gospel of
Mary Magdalene
and

Then
Mary Magdalene,
who’s Jesus’
pal,
dared put the
question: “How
do we perceive
your risen body?”
(She’s the
femme fatale.)
“With Spirit?
Soul?”
“Don’t,
Mary, touch my
sleeve.
Neither. You see
with Nous —
when you retrieve
. . . .”
“What
lifts the sales
of chocolates
off their keister
better than sweet-tooth
shoppers every
Easter?”
[NOTE : Three
Voices of Easter
is based on a
fragment of The
[Gnostic] Gospel
of Mary, 10:17-24.
The fragment ends
with a tear in
the parchment
at 10:25 and leaves
us guessing about
what completes
the statement.
The Greek word
for Mind is Nous,
meaning not brain
but Platonic (and
Gnostic) non-local
mind; that is,
by analogy, in
today’s
terminology, not
the radio broadcasting
and receiving
gear but the electromagnetic
broadcast waves.]
