Fragmentum 1: Et Maria dixit: Vidi domine te hodie in visione et dixi tibi Quomodo anima videt sine corpore per spiritum vel mentem? Respondit dicens ad eam:
Fragmentum 2: Beata es Maria quia non mota es videns gloriam Mens est quae videt medium inter animam et spiritum
Fragment 1: “And Mary said: ‘I saw you Lord today in a vision and I said to you: How does the soul see without body, through the spirit or the mind?’ He answered saying to her:”
Fragment 2: “’Blessed are you Mary because you were not shaken seeing the glory. The mind is what sees, the medium between soul and spirit.’”

VILLA OF THE PAPYRI: THE EXCAVATIONS MUST RESUME
2000+ scrolls still buried. Every day = irreversible loss. What Pompeii was to bodies, Herculaneum is to minds. The only intact ancient library waits beneath volcanic rock.
These Mary dialogue fragments at Oxyrhynchus point directly to complete consciousness teachings in the Villa—dialogues between wisdom teachers, technical discussions of awareness states, complete traditions of consciousness recognition. Every fragment showing consciousness teaching consciousness indicates libraries of awareness dialogues still buried.
