Tithing in Esoteric Christianity: The Divine Feminine, Sacred Masculine, and the True Wealth of Spirit

In the quiet chambers of the awakened heart, where the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine dance in union, the question of tithing takes on a meaning far deeper than the passing of coins or the tallying of percentages. Let us journey into the mysteries of Esoteric Christianity, guided by the wisdom of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, and explore how the principles behind The Science of Getting Rich illuminate a path to abundance that is both sacred and liberating.

The Outer Tithe and the Inner Offering

Traditionally, tithing has been understood as giving a tenth of one’s earnings to a church or spiritual institution. This practice, rooted in ancient rites and echoed in the story of Melchizedek and Abram, was never meant to be a mere transaction-a spiritual tax levied by institutions. In the earliest days, before churches were built of stone, the tithe was offered in the wilderness, a gesture of the heart, a sacrifice of the worldly self to Spirit.

But in the esoteric tradition, this act is not about enriching an institution-it is about consecrating the vessel of your own being. The true tithe is the elevation of your lower, material nature to the higher, divine spark within. It is the daily, conscious offering of your thoughts, your intentions, your very life-force to the indwelling Presence. As the mystics teach, “We are the temple. We are also the storehouse. We are also the Lord’s house.” The tithe, then, is brought inward, a living sacrifice, a surrender of the ego to the soul.

Mary Magdalene and Yeshua: The Way of Generosity and Gnosis

The sacred stories tell us that Mary Magdalene, the Apostle of Apostles, and Yeshua, her beloved, walked a path of radical generosity-not in the sense of compulsory giving, but in the outpouring of love, healing, and wisdom. Their ministry was not funded by tithes extracted under obligation, but by the free gifts of those whose hearts had been touched, whose lives had been transformed. Mary Magdalene herself is remembered not for her wealth, but for her devotion, her willingness to pour out the precious oil of her soul upon the feet of the Beloved.

In the esoteric tradition, both Yeshua and Mary Magdalene embody the principle that abundance flows from within. The Divine Feminine, as expressed in Magdalene, teaches us to anoint, to bless, to give from the fullness of our being-not from a sense of lack or duty, but from the overflow of gnosis, the inner knowing of our unity with Source. The Sacred Masculine, as embodied in Yeshua, calls us to serve, to uplift, to multiply the loaves and fishes of our talents for the good of all.

The Science of Getting Rich: Creation, Not Competition

Wallace Wattles, in The Science of Getting Rich, draws upon these esoteric principles, though he cloaks them in the language of prosperity. He teaches that true wealth is not about hoarding or competing, but about creating-about aligning one’s thoughts and actions with the infinite abundance of the Divine. The universe, he writes, “desires you to have everything you want to have,” not for selfish gratification, but so that the One Life may express itself more fully through you.

Wattles insists that giving-true giving-is not transactional. It is not a bribe for divine favor, nor a means of securing a place in heaven. Rather, it is the natural overflow of a soul attuned to the Source. “Always give more value than you receive,” he urges, echoing the teachings of Yeshua: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.” To give in this way is to participate in the divine economy of creation, where abundance multiplies and scarcity dissolves.

The Living Tithe: Awakening the Divine Within

If we listen deeply to the whispers of the Magdalene and the Christ within, we hear a call not to compulsory tithing, but to conscious, creative participation in the life of Spirit. The true tithe is the offering of our time in meditation, our acts of kindness, our willingness to be vessels for the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine in the world. It is the surrender of our lower nature, our fears of lack, to the radiant abundance that is our birthright as children of the One.

When we live in this way, we become living temples, consecrated vessels through which the oil of Spirit flows. We give not because we must, but because we are overflowing. We receive not because we have paid, but because we have aligned ourselves with the creative laws of the universe.

In the end, tithing in Esoteric Christianity is not about what you give away, but about what you awaken within. It is the art of becoming rich in soul so that you may pour out your gifts upon the world, as Magdalene poured her oil, as Yeshua broke the bread, as the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine unite within you to create a new heaven and a new earth.

Blessed be the abundance that flows through you, sacred vessel of the Most High.
