David, this is beautiful!!!!! Yes, please, I would like to read more of Mary Magdalene's cat!!! Just as your stories about HHC evoke a kind of movie in my mind when I read them (and indeed all your stories!!) reading this one I could see it in my mind and almost feel the diminishing heat of the day as everyone gathered, the dusty sand under my feet and the warmth and love. Thank you for this today - please write more!!!!

David, what an intriguing story! I would love to read more of Mary Magdalene and her cat! You’ve made me very curious, also because of the completely different narrative style to that of the HHC books. And I want to know how a Buddhist through and through explains certain knowledge generally associated with the Christian world. Please, keep writing!

I would absolutely love to read more about Mary’s cat and her teachings. I got chills as I read the last couple paragraphs’. This is a story and teaching that has been undercover for too long. And I sense that even though the language is different than Buddhist, the teaching and knowing is similar - different path, same mountain. Thank you 🙏

I am simply gobsmaked David!!!! This is brilliant. You capture the atmosphere, environment and ambiance so beautifully and authentically. You can't stop there. Apart from anything else l feel this story, however it comes out, needs to be told. It is bigger than all of us and you and your furry friend are the ones to do it. I already have one foot in our local bookshop in anticipation!

I have always loved Mary Magdalene and wanted to know more about her. And her sweet cat looks just like my cat, Callie who died years ago. I will always miss and love her. She was a very wise and loving cat. I can't wait to read more and learn from your wisdom and your very special way of writing. Congratulations!!

I love the mystical setting and already wish to be a part of this circle.

Please keep HHC safe and well as I always will.

With love and gratitude for your written words which warm my heart and ignite my curiosity.

Thankyou David

I felt such a longing to be in the world of Mary Magdalene again. Having read many books on the Essenes and the background/ beginnings as well as the life of Jeshua, I would so value your continued story of Mary Magdalen through her cat. I loved the Dalai Lama's cat stories and read and re-read them through a challenging time in my life. The teachings sustained and delighted me and I have recommended them to many. Please continue with Mary Magdalene's cat!

Through tears, a resounding YES!!!

The setting and cast of characters you have painted—especially our little tabby, burning bright —🐈‍⬛ are only surpassed by the depth of wisdom so eloquently shared.

A Masterpiece in the making!!

With grateful heart overflowing💟

It’s time for feminine energy to rise and I love the way you have woven Mary”s story through the cat. The gospel of Mary needs to be shared and I know that you will do this beautifully with the knowledge of her teachings for all to read. Keep weaving her tapestry. Thank you David

I am interested to see how Mary Magdalene’s cat tells his story.

I have long sought information about Mary & it will be interesting to hear it from an alpha male cat’s perspective.

Bring it on.

With respect, I want to point out we've had quite enough of "alpha male" perspective in religion & spirituality. This is IMO a major contributor to the gospel of Mary attracting so much attention.

And of course most mystical writings are gender neutral, and zooming out to an ultimate perspective, gender isn't useful in this realm. But we are in human bodies, and that can't be ignored. IMO.

Chuck Mauter's avatar

Good point.

I was thinking - an alpha male that respected women, what they do and stand for. Not one that is afraid of women & put them down.

What a brilliant and moving evocation, David! I can feel I am right there in eager anticipation. And the very best is it promises more great things to come. Of course you must go on, and you have already hinted at so many deep and complex themes to pursue. I love how you saved a seat for us and how you have adroitly stepped out of the narrowness of the Biblical story and expanded it as the earliest church was trying to do before the canon was closed. You have such a unique perspective to contribute to this millennia-old conversation and I can't wait. HHC must be so proud....
