[...] There actually was a Gospel that said these things. Although the words sound like musings from some 1960s New Age guru, they appeared in an ancient text known as the "Gospel of Mary." [...] The quotes appear in "The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle" by Karen L. King of Harvard Divinity School. The publisher is Polebridge Press, allied with the left-wing Jesus Seminar in which King participates. [...] Mary Magdalene is fashionable at the moment thanks to the odd pseudo-historical thriller "The Da Vinci Code." It promotes the ludicrous rumor -- developed many centuries after Jesus' lifetime -- that he married Magdalene and had children who migrated to France. [...] Gnosticism is also hot, due to "Beyond Belief," a book about the "Gospel of Thomas" by King's Princeton soulmate Elaine Pagels. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2004 11:17:23 EST From: OzWoman321@aol.com Subject: [RS] East of the Mountains (Kris Delmhorst) Hello, All - I know Kris Delmhorst has been a topic of discussion here in the past - thought some might find the following of interest...

Unfortunately it always seems to give way. Now, as adults, we can dispel our fears: One can not drown in quicksand. The hapless pedestrian will sink to his waist and no farther. The only way to die in quicksand is if the tide rolls in before someone gets you out, or if no one finds you and you succumb to dehydration and exposure.
