Jesus' Revelation in Mary's Gospel

As we've seen throughout this semester, our knowledge of these writings - like the writings themselves - is riddled with gaps. There is a huge amount of the Gospel of Mary missing. We only have 4 of 9 chapters. To make matters worse, these chapters are not sequential; so we've got two seperate parts: chapters 4 & 5, and 8 & 9.

The text begins in the middle of a symposium led by Jesus. We don't know how it starts, but there is a question about the end of the world. Then Peter asks about sin. Jesus uses this question to speak about the way of salvation:

"Matter gave birth to a passion that has no equal, which proceeded from something contrary to nature. Then there arises a disturbance in its whole body. That is why I said to you, 'Be of good courage, and if you are discouraged be encouraged in the presence of the different forms of nature.' He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

When the Blessed One had said this, He greeted them all, saying, "Peace be with you. Receive my peace unto yourselves. Beware that no one lead you astray saying, 'Lo here!' or 'Lo there!' for the Son of Man is within you. Follow after Him! Those who seek Him will find Him.

"Go then and preach the gospel of the Kingdom. Do not lay down any rules beyond what I appointed you, and do not give a law like the lawgiver lest you be constrained by it."

When He said this He departed.

Do you see anything here that tells us that this is a gnostic writing?

After Jesus leaves, the disciples cry that they cannot preach because they - like Jesus - will be killed. Mary tells them to be brave, "for He has prepared us and made us into Men." Peter asks if Jesus ever told her things he hadn't told them, since "we know that the savior loved you more than the rest of women."

We have the first bit of Mary's response:

"I saw the Lord in a vision and I said to Him, 'Lord I saw you today in a vision.' He answered and said to me, 'Blessed are you that you did not waver at the sight of Me. For where the mind is there is the treasure.'

"I said to Him, 'Lord, how does he who sees the vision see it, through the soul or through the spirit?' The Savior answered and said, 'He does not see through the soul nor through the spirit, but the mind that is between the two that is what sees the vision and it is [...]'"

And then the gap....

So, we have soul and spirit (anima and animus?), but what about this mind in between? How does that effect your thoughts on whether this is a gnostic work?
