Don’t fear the flesh, nor love it. If you fear it, it will master you; if you love it, it will swallow you.

One is either of the world or one is resurrected [anastasis] or one is in the intermediate world. God forbid that anyone is found there! In this world, there is good and there is evil. What is good is not all good, and what is evil is not all evil.

But beyond this world, there is something that is truly evil; it is the intermediate world, the world of the dead. While we are in this world, it would be best to experience resurrection, so that, free of the flesh, we will know true rest and not become wanderers in the intermediate world. Many get lost along the way. It is good to awaken from the world going astray there.”(The Gospel of Philip, vs. 62-63)

In these passages, the Gospel of Philip describes three planes of reality: This world, the resurrected world, and the intermediate world. In this world, we experience good that is not all good, and evil that is not pure evil. Light and darkness are mixed together.

Our goal is to awaken to this world of illusion – the world of Us and Them, Good and Bad, Light and Dark, Male and Female – and to enter the resurrection reality where we realize that all things are expressions of the One Divine Consciousness.

But many of us fail to awaken in this life. The warning for us is not to fall back to sleep again or we may find ourselves in this intermediate world of the dead. This is where the illusion overtakes us and we remain in the illusion of separation all our lives.

Not that this is an eternal state of being. The reality that all things are One can never change. These three realities are states of mind that we can all find ourselves in at various times in our lives. We are born wide awake to the beauty of Oneness. Then the illusion overtakes us and we fall asleep. Hopefully, we are awakened to the reality of Oneness again (the resurrection) and remain alive to this transformational truth. But, if we never awaken from this dream of separation, we fall deeper into the intermediate world where the idea of resurrection is too far away for us to imagine.

For those who never awaken to Oneness in this life, reality is bleak and lifeless; “the world of the dead.”

However, eventually, all of us will awaken again to the truth. For those who awaken to Oneness in this life, there is an experience of resurrection from the dead, empty world of separation. For those who do not, there is only the illusion of a life where people wander as if in a dream, forever oblivious to the reality of Oneness with the Divine that permeates all things and all people.

Either way, when we die, we will return to the One Source from which all reality is formed. Those who have already experienced resurrection in this life will simply move deeper into this Divine Oneness. Those who never experienced resurrection in this life will finally awaken to the truth of reality. Their joy will be mingled with a form of sorrow as they realize how much of their lives they wasted believing in the lie of separation, but then the overwhelming joy of pure connection with the Divine will transform their mourning into dancing and wipe away every tear from their eyes.
