Healing is our Journey Back Home From the Editor | by  Tim Miejan Ultimately, from the first breath of infancy until the final breath of death, each of us is a work in progress. Our soul adopts this spacesuit we call our body and proceeds to use it as a tool to further refine itself. It's the same for each one of us, regardless of the role we have established for ourselves on this physical realm, be it president of the United States, elementary school teacher or infant child who becomes a portrait artist. We all share the opportunity of transforming ourselves and becoming more real, and actually more transparent, lessening our density so our soul shines outward like the sun.

Mary Magdalene: The Greatest Story Never Told by Margaret Starbird In the wake of Dan Brown's record-breaking bestseller, people are asking what remains when the fiction is stripped away from The Da Vinci Code. What remains, I believe, is the conviction of the earliest Christians that Jesus embodied the archetypal Sacred Bridegroom from the ancient mythologies of the Near East -- and that Mary Magdalene was his spouse. This belief appears at the core of the Gospels and was later embellished by authors of the Gnostic texts discovered in Egypt, which unabashedly proclaim Mary Magdalene as beloved disciple and intimate companion, even consort, of Jesus.
