by Peter Bernhard (Author)
This book offers an inside of the original Gnostic message of this fairy tale. When a young man reads the story in a Berlin Coffee shop he is approached by an elderly stranger, who offers him a set of initiations into the old knowledge of his family. This Catar family was using the story of Iron John to hide and teach its Gnostic wisdom, which is now revealed in this book. It opens the ancient gates of Mary Magdalene, which leads into a different experience of the world. Beside the submission of information during several meetings in Berlin with the stranger the author meets a girl who leads him into the Berlin underground, where he encounters a life threatening situation."The tale begins to talk about a dead zone that opens up somewhere in the world. If we look at the underlying patterns, we can go as deep as we want to. We can see this tale as a map for the entire cycle of a universe or a map of the universe as it is now. And thus we can see it also as a map for our personal lives. Everything in this story has therefor a cosmic and a personal site to it.When we talk of creation in the West, then we mostly believe that the universe was created by the Big Bang. Only in the recent studies it is assumed that there have been several explosions similar to the Big Bang. We Gnostics on the other hand question the idea that the creation of the world of time and space was a good thing at all. This is the heretical question of the Gnostics. We usually believe that our lives are happening only here. That they begin with birth and end with death. Therefore we must believe that life is always bound to a body. The world of spirits is considered to be dark, cold and unreal.For the Gnostics it was all the other way around. In this point of view we believe in an original state of wholeness which exists in eternity and holds all beings in itself. The Big Bang points to a temporary loss of this unity. You can have different opinions about whether this loss has happened in reality or only in illusions. "
