Estelle Isaacson is a contemporary seer who has been graced with
many visions around Sophia, goddess of wisdom. Part 1 of this book
shares a series of fourteen visions which lead the reader into a
direct connection with the mystery of Sophia. In Part 2, Robert
Powell explores the cosmic dimension of Sophia and her role as
bearer of a new spiritual culture: the Rose of the World, a culture
founded on love and wisdom.
In this first book of a trilogy on the life of Mary Magdalene,
Estelle Isaacson presents her visions of the life of "the Apostle
to the Apostles" as seen through Magdalene's own eyes. Following a
Prologue "in the starry heavens," Part One encompasses Magdalene's
childhood, her journeys and education in Egypt, her struggle with
temptations, and her conversion. Part Two takes the reader through
some of Magdalene's experiences as she lays down her former life
and follows Jesus as his disciple. Part Three visits the Lazarus
mysteries and includes revelations concerning his initiation,
death, and resurrection. Part Four comprises five appendices
presenting subsidiary visions. Among these are two visions of
Magdalene's mysterious sister Silent Mary, a figure otherwise
unknown except through the earlier visions of the Catholic
stigmatist Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824). The book is graced
with many illustrations by James J. Tissot (1836-1902), whose work
resonates also with Estelle in a very special way, the artist's
depictions being so very close to what she herself witnesses in
vision. Those who find this volume valuable and inspiring will be
glad to know of two further volumes of the trilogy, and that works
on other subjects drawn from the ongoing wellspring of Estelle's
visions will follow. Book II of the Magdalene trilogy is subtitled
From Initiation to the Passion, and Book III is subtitled From the
Ascension to Journeys in Gaul. "Estelle invites us to stand witness
by her side, in community with the Logos and with Sophia. She tells
us we need not wait until we are perfect, for Christ comes to us
now " -From the Introduction "This book is a truly remarkable work
on Mary Magdalene, in which the mysteries she lived through are
re-experienced through her eyes in a most touching and tangible
way." -Robert Powell, author The Mystery, Biography & Destiny
of Mary Magdalene.
The year 2014 has a special significance that is addressed in this
book by Robert Powell and Estelle Isaacson. Dr. Robert Powell is a
spiritual researcher who in this short work-and in many other
books-brings the results of his own research investigations.
Estelle Isaacson is a contemporary seer who is gifted with a
remarkable ability to perceive new streams of revelation. Both have
been blessed in an extraordinary way by virtue of accessing the
realm wherein Christ is presently to be found. Powell makes the
critical point that the year 2014 not only denotes the beginning of
a new 600-year cultural wave in history but also that there is an
ancient prophecy applying to this very same year, 2014, which can
be interpreted as pointing to the onset of the twenty-first-century
incarnation of the Bodhisattva who will become the future Maitreya
Buddha, the successor to Gautama Buddha. Powell also makes the
crucial point that the Maitreya Buddha awaited in Buddhism is the
same as the Kalki Avatar expected in Hinduism. Powell's
contribution serves as an introduction to Isaacson's offering,
comprising a series of six visions relating to the future Maitreya
Buddha. The visions are highly inspirational, communicating
something of the profound spirituality, peace, radiance, and, above
all, goodness of this Bodhisattva who is Gautama Buddha's
successor. His title, Maitreya, means "bearer of the good," and in
Isaacson's visions he emerges as a remarkable force for good in our
time. Also included in this book are two appendices: A Survey of
Rudolf Steiner's Indications Concerning the Maitreya Buddha and the
Kalki Avatar and Valentin Tomberg's Indications Concerning the
Coming Buddha-Avatar, Maitreya-Kalki. A third appendix discusses
the significance of Rudolf Steiner's Foundation Stone of Love
meditation as a heralding of Christ's Second Coming.
Estelle Isaacson presents further visions of the life of Mary
Magdalene in this second book of the trilogy Through the Eyes of
Mary Magdalene, subtitled From Initiation to the Passion. As
before, this text is graced with many illustrations by James J.
Tissot. Part One opens two months after the raising of Lazarus, as
Jesus returns from his journeys in pagan lands. Magdalene hears of
the time he spent with the Magus who had visited the infant Jesus
bearing gifts of gold. We are then taken into a series of
initiations she underwent in a secluded cave in preparation for the
Passion. In Part Two we learn of plots against Jesus and witness
the Triumphant Entry, the Cleansing of the Temple, the Address to
the Greeks, and another anointing by Magdalene. Part Three
encompasses the Passion and Resurrection. The betrayal by Judas is
depicted in detail, as well as the consequences of his deed for his
soul. New light is shone upon many mysteries of the Passion: from
Jesus's Agony in the Garden to the dream of Pilate's wife Claudia,
from the merging of Lazarus with John of Zebedee under the Cross to
the great mystery of Magdalene's role in the Passion. The crowning
event of this book is of course the glorious Resurrection-the most
important event of all time -which we witness through Magdalene's
eyes, gaining new insight into its profound mystery. Part Four
comprises seven appendices that shed light on themes raised in the
text, including a vision of the Gold King as a youth, and visions
of Cassius and Abenadar-the two centurions converted at the cross.
