In what may on the surface appear to be a
divergence from the primary religious and
spiritual theme of this article, it is
important to demonstrate that modern science
has not only proven the validity of
the path of Mysticism where one seeks to
enter and dwell in the Presence of God --
and that this learning directly from God is
in fact the objective of all
religions in the seeking and the acquisition of Gnosis -- or
the Divine Manna of the Kingdom of God --
imparted directly into the mind of those who
fulfill the Laws within themselves in the
manner that Jesus taught, directly and
personally by the Logos.
This is true of Judaism, Christianity,
Islam, as well as all genuine religions the
world over -- the objective of which, is to
bring about the transformation of the
believer into a disciple who manifests the
Final Temple within himself. A
spiritual reality that is not at all
understood is seen in the quotation of the
Apostle Peter in the Homilies of his
disciple Clement that God inhibited the Jews
from accepting Jesus, and the Gentiles from
accepting Moses (see
Things Christians Don't Tell Jews About The
NT): “For on
this account Jesus is concealed from the
Jews, who have taken Moses as their teacher,
and Moses is hidden from those who have
believed Jesus. For, there being one
teaching by both, God accepts him who has
believed either of these."
But more importantly Peter then states that
when rightly understood, there is absolutely
no difference between the Jewish Torah, or
the Gospels:
"Moreover, if any one has been thought
worthy to recognize both as preaching one
doctrine, that man has been counted rich in
God, understanding both the old things as
new in time, and the new things as old.”
What Peter is revealing is the fact that if
you understood the mystical CODE, and were
able to look beneath the cloak of the
allegory of the written text, you would see the exact same
message in the spiritual meaning and
revelation of the Torah, as is reveled in
the spiritual meaning and objectives of the
Gospels. Moreover, while the
meaning and objective of the Gospel account
is exactly the same as the Torah, the
Gospels were intended to free the people
from the extreme allegory of the Torah, and
enabled the people to gain much greater
spiritual insight in the study of the
literal written text.
In the same way that Carl Marx portrayed
religion as the opium of the people, since
the dawn of time the rulers of every variety
of governing body have used religion to
control the people.
When Atheists and critics reject the Gospels
as a fraud, the faults they observe is not
so much the work of the biblical authors -- but
rather, with the government enforced
secularization of the teachings, and the
corruption of the biblical texts that was
necessary to make the scriptures conform to
secular doctrines (see
Bible
Corruption). In view of the
fact that from an historical perspective, to disagree with the
controling secular authorities, the government
and/or its established puppet religious orders, in
most instances carried the sentence of
death -- which equates to the rather harsh
reality that the critics of the
Gospels are synonymous with those who blame
the rape victim for the crimes that were
perpetrated against her. Add to this the
fact that every genuine visionary and mystic
have all warned mankind that it is
impossible for him to comprehend his own
higher soul and spiritual reality so long as
he remains organic and carnal in his
thinking and being -- saying to the
non-mystic, when
you have done what I have done, only then
can you understand what I understand
-- so long
as a man remains carnal and earthly in his
thinking and lifestyle, then we can begin to
appreciate why all genuine spiritual wisdom
was concealed within allegorical religious
texts, in order to conceal the sacred
knowledge from both the multitude of people
who could not use it, and their leaders who
would destroy it. The historical
account of mankind demonstrates the
perpetual struggle between the vision of the
Gnostic who makes claim to spiritual
insights that the common believers who have
traditionally called themselves Orthodox,
are blind to. And the fact that
only now, in our present time, has modern
science been able to shed light on the
controversy, is of a primary importance to
those seekers of Truth.
Perhaps the
greatest folly of both the Atheist and the
scholarly critic, is seen in their blind
dismissal of the words of Jesus when he
commanded not to give what is holy to dogs,
nor cast pearls before swine.
And that dogs and swine are representative
of a type of people, is a reality that is of
the utmost importance. In the
Homilies of his disciple Clement, the
Apostle Peter is quoted as stating:
“We remember that
our Lord and teacher, as commanding, said to
us, guard the mysteries for me, and the sons
of my house. Wherefore also he explained to
his disciples, privately, the mysteries of
the kingdoms of the heavens.”
Thus, what is being stated is that those to
whom the higher knowledge of the truth is
revealed, are to protect and preserve this
sacred knowledge from those people who are
allegorically defined as dogs and swine. And
without understanding what the Church Father Origen portrayed as the knowledge of the
"minor mysteries" -- and
especially the cosmology of self which can
be portrayed as a blueprint of ones own mind
-- and endeavoring to learn how to apply the
scriptures as the Key of Knowledge -- then
whatever knowledge man thinks he possesses,
will end up to be useless opinion that is
temporal and gravely misleading.
In order to
inhibit the reader from seeing only the
written words of the scriptures, and failing
to seek out the inner meaning that was
concealed from the people who Jesus
portrayed as dogs and swine, there was
intentional errors and inconsistencies
purposely placed in the text so a person of
higher intelligence would not believe what
was literally written. In the
Jewish Mysticism book known as the Zohar, it
is explained with respect to the written
words of the scriptures:
“The narratives of
the doctrine are its cloak. The simple look
only on the garment, that is upon the
narrative of the doctrine; more they know
not. The instructed, however, see not merely
the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.
In the words of Moses Maimonedes, one of the
most respected of Jewish theologians,
historian, and Talmudist, where he writes
about the nature of scripture:
“Every time that
you find in our books a tale the reality of
which seems impossible, a story which is
repugnant to both reason and common sense,
then be sure that the tale contains a
profound allegory veiling a deeply
mysterious truth; and the greater the
absurdity of the letter, the deeper the
wisdom of the spirit”.
And this fact is confirmed by the Church
Father Origen who wrote:
“It is sufficient
however, to represent in the style of a
historic narrative what is intended to
convey a secret meaning in the garb of
history, that those who have the capacity
may work out for themselves all that relates
to the subject.”
Therefore, what appears to be an historical
account, is not -- and it is nothing more
than a cloak that conceals important sacred
knowledge from those who -- because of their
carnally dense and worldly mindset and
thinking, cannot utilize the wisdom of the
minor mysteries that are a prerequisite to
overcome carnal organic limitations, and escape the profound ignorance of this world.
Is this fact
made clear to those who read the scriptures?
Yes, but the ego of each person who thinks
they know, causes them to ignore the many
warnings that are presented to them.
As an example: When Paul warns the baptized
and committed Christians at Corinth who he,
himself, originally instructed, that they
were yet to carnal in their understanding to
comprehend the spiritual meaning of the
Gospel -- which is often referred to as the
Mysteries of the Kingdom of God -- he
conveyed to them the reality that they would
judge and even condemn this higher reality
of the Spirit as absolute
"foolishness"
-- i.e.,
“But the natural man
does not receive the things of the Spirit of
God, for they are foolishness to him; nor
can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned”
(1 Cor 2:14 NKJ). Thus, it is imperative
to ask the question: What is the
"natural man"?
The condition of mankind that Paul is making
reference to, would just as well be
portrayed as
"organic" -- or, of the physical
body. The
"natural man" , is the
"organic"
human being.
A man of true
intellect would want to know why mankind in
his organic condition, would reject what
Paul calls the higher reality of the soul
and the Mysteries of God as absolute utter
"foolishness"???
To the degree that when Paul states that he
was
"..caught
up into Paradise and heard inexpressible
words, which it is not lawful for a man to
utter" (2 Cor 12:4-5 NKJ) -- an
intelligent man would immediately question
as to why "...it is
not lawful for a man to utter"
what a Disciple who enters the Kingdom
experiences?
In his Epistle to the Trallaus the first
century elder Ignatius speaks of the
Mysteries of the Gospel and the Kingdom, and
writes:
“Might I not write to
you things more full of mystery? But I fear
to do so, lest I should inflict injury on
you who are babes. Pardon me in this
respect, lest, as not being able to receive
their weighty import, ye should be strangled
by them”.
The only way that Ignatius could have
written these words, was if he, himself,
understood what was beyond the comprehension
of the organic mind of the believers of the
simple faith. And while he states that he
had himself progressed to the point where he understood what was incomprehensible to the
organic mind of man, he also confesses that
though he is aware of the minor mysteries, he is
not yet “by any
means perfect, nor am I such a disciple as
Paul or Peter”.
If Ignatius or the other early Church
Fathers who knew the Mysteries of the
Kingdom of God were with us today, what
profound mystery could they speak regarding
the true teachings of Jesus that believers
today would be
“strangled by them”? To the degree that Paul proclaimed to the
Christians at Corinth:
“And I, brethren,
could not speak to you as to spiritual men,
but as to men of flesh, as to babes in
Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS). Thus,
these believers could only be taught the
most basic exoteric doctrine of a
quasi-historical allegorical account of Jesus Christ and
him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were
not yet spiritual men -- but rather, they
were men of flesh and still very much
“babes in Christ”.
Paul then explains that:
“I gave you milk to
drink, not solid food; for you were not yet
able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are
not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS).
And that for the most part the authors of
the scriptures were forced to use the common
believers as a mule that preserved and
carried with them a Spiritual Trojan Horse
to be understood only by the few whose mind
and being were prepared to understand the
higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries
of the Kingdom, is a system that has been in
effect since the beginning (see
An Inconvenient Truth).
If all that Paul could write about was the
allegorical "milk"
of the Gospel -- i.e., a system of
allegorical forms and symbols which
possessed and concealed a deeper meaning of
mind and spirit that was beyond the
comprehension of the untransformed mind of
organic man -- then those who blindly assume
that they understand the true meaning of the
Gospel which could only be revealed to those
who had evolved their mind and thinking to a
mature state -- then those who ignore this
warning and base their beliefs on the
written word, are a foolish and misguided
people. And this is true of
blind believers, as well as blind and
foolish critics of the Gospels and religion.

Intellectual Idiots And Philosophical Pedophiles?
(1) In
acknowledging the fact that the literal text
of the scriptures has absurdities of the
letter that was intentionally inserted into
what appeared as an quasi-historical narratives;
(2) so
that a person of intellect would reject what
was literally being stated; (3) and one of
the reasons the scriptures were composed in
this manner, was so that the important inner
meaning would be both concealed and
protected; (4) and this inner concealed meaning
was often portrayed as the soul and the
spirit of the scriptures -- The Church
Father Origen who was esteemed as the
greatest Christian authority after the
disciples, portrayed those who could believe
the absurdities of the written word of the
scriptures as being historically and
spiritually true, to be simpleminded
"idiots".
And these intentional absurdities that were
written into the text of the scriptures were so
plain, and often so outlandish, that Paul portrayed the written text
of the scriptures as the
"letter that killeth"
(2 Cor 3:6). The Church Historian Eusebius portrays these
people who are so gullible to believe the
absurdities that are intentionally
written into the text of the scriptures, as men of
"small
intellect". In the
Homilies the Apostle Peter portrays the
scriptures as "the
mystery of the books with the power to
deceive". Which is
why Moses Maimonedes, one of the most
respected of Jewish theologians, historian,
and Talmudist, writes about the nature
of scripture:
“Every time that you find in our books a
tale the reality of which seems impossible,
a story which is repugnant to both reason
and common sense, then be sure that the tale
contains a profound allegory veiling a
deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the
absurdity of the letter, the deeper the
wisdom of the spirit”.
Once rightly
understood, the scriptures were in fact
expressly composed in such a way so that
people of a rational and intelligent mind
will reject the written word of the
quasi-historical narrative which Origen
portrays as
"worthless", and seek the deeper
meaning of mind, soul and spirit.
And that the critics and Atheists have long
ignored the witness of the most
knowledgeable of religious men, and have
continually chosen to disparage the ignorant
blind believers, is not only evidence of
their own folly, but proof of their
own intellectual bankruptcy.
These critics who ignore the mature men and
women of higher spiritual vision and
intellect, to
ravish the immature, should be portrayed as
the intellectual-pedophiles that they are.
What is an
intellectual-pedophile? Quoting
the Church historian Eusebius who writes of
the doctrines conceived by the early
Christians Papias and Irenaeus:
“Papias reproduces
other stories communicated to him by word of
mouth, together with some otherwise unknown
parables and teachings of the Saviour, and
other things of a more allegorical
character. He says that 'after the
resurrection of the dead there will be a
period of a thousand years when Christ's
kingdom will be set up on this earth in
material form'. I suppose he got these
notions by misinterpreting the apostolic
accounts and failing to grasp what they said
in mystic and symbolic language. For he
seems to have been a man of very small
intelligence, to judge from his books..."
(Eusebius, Hist Eccl., Book III, 39.11).
Thus, the pseudo-intellectuals and Atheists
who ignore the most spiritual authorities,
while disparaging the immature in the folly
of their misguided error, are little more
than intellectual-pedophiles!
One of the
gravest misunderstandings of modern man is
seen in his assertion that the scriptures
represent an historical narrative and record
of a time in mankind's past. The
second gravest misunderstanding is that the
scriptures portray the Creation of a cosmic
reality of when the universe came into
being. In his book
entitled Fragments of a Faith Forgotten,
G.R.S. Mead explains that what the authors
truly “…projected
onto the screen… [in the form of a ] picture
of the universe was in reality a picture of
their own minds." He then
writes of the scriptures:
"Its mythology is a
symbolic portrayal, almost a deliberate one,
of the forces which operate in the
structuring and evolution of the human
personality”. It was for this
reason that Carl Jung called the Gnostic
Christians the worlds first and foremost
psychologists who understood the very fabric
of human consciousness. When rightly
understood with what Jesus called the Key of
Knowledge properly applied, the scriptures are about you --
i.e. the Laws and Forces working in your own
mind and body -- and they are timeless and relevant to every
period in human history.
Prompting Carl Jung to conclude that the
authors of the scriptures and the original
(Gnostic) Christians were the worlds first
and foremost psychologists who understood
the very fabric of human consciousness.
Thus, the knowledge that was both preserved
and concealed within the allegorical body of
the written text, was the preliminary
knowledge that was needed to not only unlock
the forces and cosmological blueprint of the
mind that the sincere seeker needed to know
and master in order to unlock the mind's
true potential -- but also the means to tap
into a Source of Knowledge that exceeds all
human wisdom. And thus,
the words of Jesus that have been suppressed
by the Church, and have not become known by
virtue of the recent discovery of the Gospel
of Thomas:
"But
if you will not know yourselves, you dwell
in poverty and it is you who are that
poverty... Whoever
finds himself is superior to the world".
And it is this cosmology of one's own mind
and the forces of consciousness that can
unlock the mind's full potential when the
Key of Knowledge is properly applied --
knowledge that has the power to liberate the
seeker from the ignorance and illusions of
this world that is portrayed in the analogy
of
Plato's Cave -- that is representative
of the true meaning of the scriptures.
And while on the surface the Gospels may
appear to be about an historical man known
as Jesus, Jesus is used as an example of one
who successfully applied this important
knowledge to overcome the Laws within
himself. And all the alleged
prophecies of a Second Coming, Armageddon
and an End Times, is an allegorical
portrayal of the Anointing, Liberation and
Enlightenment of the seekers own mind.
In describing
the vast multitude of people, the Church
Father Clement of Alexandria quotes ancient
wisdom which states that,
"...the majority of
people, wise in their own estimation, follow
minstrels and make use of laws, knowing that
many are bad, few good; but that the best
pursue glory: for the best make choice of
the everlasting glory of men above all. But
the multitude cram themselves like brutes,
measuring happiness by the belly and the
pudenda [sexual organs], and the basest
things in us."
Thus, the sacred knowledge was concealed
from the majority of people within the
allegorical scriptures, so that (1) it could be both preserved
for those who could use it; and perhaps
even more importantly, (2) to be retrieved in
the future by those who originally concealed
it within the allegorical text of the
scriptures. The fact
that by writing the scriptures in this
manner, the most ignorant would preserve it
from generation to generation -- often
spanning thousands of years -- demonstrates
the absolute genus of the enlightened
authors.

Atheists
Prove Gospel To Be True: Once
properly understood, what the Atheists and
pseudo-intellectual critics have in reality
accomplished, is to prove the Gospel
teachings to be true. In fact,
they exist as an example of the most
profound teachings that Jesus presented to
those who possess the ears to hear what he
was stating. Throughout the
scriptures -- and especially in the parable
of the
Sower and the Seed -- it is warned that
if you fail to understand and put into
practice the tenets presented in this
parable, that you cannot know anything of
any worthwhile substance and value.
And the Atheists and pseudo-intellectual
critics have not only proven this to be true
beyond any doubt, but we must also include
the people who consider themselves
religious, but who cling to the doctrines
and traditions of men among their number. On September
8th, 2008, I made a Blog entry entitled:
Reply: The God Who Wasn't There.
And because of it's importance to the
questions raised in this present article, I
will copy and make further relevant comments
below:
Reply: The God Who Wasn't
There
Greetings Hal:
In reading about your DVD entitled
The God Who Wasn't There, there is an important
element to the equation that is totally absent from what
you are presenting -- and that element is the fact that
the scriptures were written by Gnostic Mystics --
composed for those who seek the
Ebionite
Nazirene path of TheWay. And what this means
is that none of the people you interviewed -- whether
they are true believers (Fundamentalists), accepted
scholars and historians, or any variety of philosophers
and clergy -- all the opinions and positions that you
present is mere speculation, because the people you
interviewed neither understand the original objective of
the scriptures, or the spiritual language of the soul
that the scriptures are written in. Like all such
spiritual writings, the Gospels emphatically state that
the personage of Jesus did not openly reveal what was
called the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God to the
multitude of people -- i.e.,
"And the
disciples came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them
in parables? He answered and said to them, Because it
has been given to you to know the mysteries of the
kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given"
(Matt 13:10-11 NKJ). To the degree that
Paul, who had been taken up into the Kingdom, stated
that without the transformation of the lower nature that
is essential to the mystical path of TheWay, that the
believers will look upon the Mysteries of the Kingdom as
"foolishness"
(
http://DivineManna.org#literal ). Which means that
even in my attempt to explain the mass confusion with
respect to those who attempt to read the scriptures
without having brought about the necessary spiritual
transformation of the lower nature, the very words that
I express will be rejected and seen as
"foolishness".
Paul portrayed the
written word of the scriptures as the
"letter that killeth"
(see
http://Ebionite.com/defeat.htm ). Why? It is
impossible to understand the inner spiritual meaning of
the scriptures, without the transformation, opening and
Anointing of the mind of the disciple -- i.e.,
"Then opened He their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures"
(Luke 24:45). And
the fact that the Pharisees had thrown away what Jesus
called the Key of Knowledge (
http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ), and attempted to read
the scriptures without first bringing about the
necessary spiritual transformation and this opening and
enlightenment of the mind, is why Jesus portrayed them
as the offspring of the Devil -- i.e.,
"Why do you not
understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen
to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the
desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie,
he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and
the father of it" (John 8:43-44
NKJ). And
once you begin to truly understand what is being
portrayed in the above words, all the authorities who
you have interviewed not only study the written word of
the scriptures
"...from [their] own (carnal organic) resources
-- but that they each fail to understand that they are
"...speak[ing] from [their] own resources"
-- and thus, the
whole framework of their thinking is drawn from a
mindset that parallels that of the Pharisees who Jesus
condemned as not understanding the true meaning of the
scriptures.
To even begin to
understand what I have presented to you in the above,
and why Jesus portrayed the Torah Observant Pharisees as
the offspring of the Devil, you must first understand
why Jesus commanded:
“But
you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher,
the Christ, and you are all brethren”
(Matt 23:8 NKJ).
And it is in this one very
important statement that neither believer, nonbeliever,
clergy, scholar or critic understands, that is the
paramount cause of their error and folly. Who is the One
Teacher? Among the original
Ebionite
Nazirene disciples of Jesus who were condemned by
both the Jews and the Christians, the One Teacher was
portrayed as the True Prophet (
http://TheThreeLies.com#TrueProphet ) -- and it was
warned that only those who become the
"good ground" in the parable of the
Sower and the Seed, can be taught by the True
Prophet -- to the degree that they can themselves become
Anointed (Messiah/Christ)-- i.e.,
"These things
I have written to you concerning those who try to
deceive you. But the anointing which you have received
from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone
teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you
concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He
appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed
before Him at His coming. If you know that He is
righteous, you know that everyone who practices
righteousness is born of Him" (1 Jn 2:26-29
NKJ). The
necessary
"...practice [of] righteousness"
has absolutely nothing in
common with the blind belief of manmade Church doctrines
which is promoted by Christians today -- but rather, the
very thinking, lifestyle and mindset of the sincere
seeker who strives to do as Jesus taught, and seek the
Kingdom (within).
It has been speculated
that those writings known as the Clementine Homilies
(the disciple of the Apostle Peter), represents the
original
Ebionite
Nazirene teachings which have long been suppressed
by the Church -- and it is in these writings that the
above reference to the One Teacher is explained by Peter
where it is written:
"And therefore I
advise not only wise men, but indeed all men who have a
desire of knowing what is advantageous to them, that
they seek after the true Prophet; for it is He alone who
knoweth all things, and who knoweth what and how every
man is seeking.
For He is within
the mind of every one of us, but in those who have no
desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He
is inoperative; but He works in those who seek after
that which is profitable to their souls, and kindles in
them the light of knowledge.
Wherefore seek Him first of all; and if you do not find
Him, expect not that you shall learn anything from any
other. But
He is soon found by those who diligently seek Him
through love of the truth, and whose souls are not taken
possession of by wickedness. For He is present with
those who desire Him in the innocence of their spirits,
who bear patiently, and draw sighs from the bottom of
their hearts through love of the truth; but He deserts
malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the
thoughts of every one. And therefore let no one think
that he can find Him by his own wisdom, unless, as we
have said, he empty his mind of all wickedness, and
conceive a pure and faithful desire to know Him. For
when any one has so prepared himself, He Himself as a
prophet, seeing a mind prepared for Him, of His own
accord offers Himself to his knowledge”.
And
this was the very reason that Yeshua stated to the
Pharisees that the Kingdom would never come upon the
earth in the manner that carnal men look for it -- for
it is within you (Luke 17:20-21) -- which reality is
further detailed at
http://GateOfEden.com ).
While your authorities
correctly state that: "The Jesus of the
Gospels bears a striking resemblance to other ancient
heroes and the figureheads of pagan savior cults"
-- and while this is a typical statement by countless
scholars and historians, because they each fail to
understand both the objective of the scriptures, as well
as the language of the soul the scriptures are written
in -- they all arrive at an equally flawed conclusion.
And once this flawed conclusion is understood, their
error is equal to those who you portray as the
"Contemporary Christians [who] are largely ignorant
of the origins of their religion." But this
same warning was presented from a very different
perspective in the words:
“Biblical
scholars were not disturbed by what they found in the
Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that
the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly
supposed to have been”
(A. Powell Davies quoted by Millar Burrows in
More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls).
The problem that the scholars who note the
"...striking resemblance
to other ancient heroes and the figureheads of pagan
savior cults", is seen in the fact that the
accounts of these other ancient heroes are also written
in the language of the soul, and neither are these other
religions which are put forth as
"...figureheads of pagan savior cults"
understood with any greater depth, than the mystical
Gnostic accounts of the New Testament.
The great Truth that
none of the culturally accepted experts, scholars,
clergy or philosophers have all failed to understand, is
the fact that regardless of the ancient religious
tradition, the inner core and scriptural authors of each
of these ancient religions, were all confronted by the
profound reality that the mind of organic man which Paul
portrays as being of a "natural"
consciousness (
http://DivineManna.org#literal ), is incapable of
understanding the higher reality of the soul and what
Jesus portrayed as the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
Which means that in all cases, not only were each of
these authors and core religious groups incapable of
portraying in the common language of their cultures the
Truth that they knew -- but that each of these religious
groups had to employ the mystic language of the soul, in
order to convey essential Truths to those who understood
the objectives of the scriptures, and the application of
what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge (
http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ).
The Common Theme and
core of all religions at their essence that is not
understood by the outer body of believers, is portrayed
in the parable of the Prodigal Son -- which in many
respects, parallels the analogy of Plato's Cave (see
http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato --
or, what is
presented in the completion of the cycle from the Alpha
to the Omega as portrayed in Jewish Mysticism in the
Zohar:
“All souls are
subject to the trials of transmigration; and men do not
know the designs of the Most High with regard to them…
The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence
they have emerged. But to accomplish this end they must
develop all the perfections, the germ of which is
planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this
condition during one life, they must commence another, a
third, and so forth, until they have acquired the
condition which fits them for reunion with God”.
That
the vast majority of people are totally ignorant of not
only the true meaning of the scriptures, but also the
higher reality of their own souls and the Mysteries of
the Kingdom of God, is because they dwell in what Jesus
portrayed as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being (see
http://DivineStrategery.com#OuterDarkness ). Thus,
the common symbols of all religions, represent the
universal journey of the soul that only a handful of
seekers ever truly come to understand the reality of.
That these symbols employed in the scriptures are
themselves universal, is portrayed by
G.R.S. Mead in his book entitled Fragments of a Faith
Forgotten, where this explanation is put forth:
“…what the Gnostics projected onto the screen… [in the
form of a ] picture of the universe was in reality a
picture of their own minds. Its mythology is a symbolic
portrayal, almost a deliberate one, of the forces which
operate in the structuring and evolution of the human
personality”. And it was for this reason that Carl
Jung called the Gnostic Christians the worlds first and
foremost psychologists who understood the very fabric of
human consciousness. Moreover, while the body of
believes don't themselves understand the inner spiritual
reality of the scriptures, they are led to believe and
embrace them, because the universal symbols used in the
written narrative of the scriptures act as a catalyst
which connects them to an inner reality of soul and
spirit that they don't yet comprehend with any depth of
understanding.
What all these religious
traditions share in common, is that the inner
spiritually enlightened core were all turned upon and
murdered (see
http://Ebionite.com/prologue.htm ), and their
scriptures which were promoted by unenlightened priests,
politicians and institutionalized religion, were very
quickly corrupted (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ). Few people ever come
to understand the Laws (
http://DivineStrategery.com#TheLaws ) which hold
them spellbound in the illusion of
Plato's Cave
-- which Jesus portrayed as a type of
prison.
And it is for this reason that the Apostle Peter in the
Homilies warns with respect to the True Prophet that
Jesus portrayed as the One Teacher:
“Hence, O beloved Clement",
proclaims Peter,
“if you
would know the things pertaining to God, you have to
learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the
truth. For if any one else knows anything, he has
received it from Him or from His disciples”.
And the philosophical and theological premise that all
your quoted authorities (pro and con) begin on, is that
Jesus was wrong and did not know what he was saying.
All those who escape the
illusion of
Plato's Cave
, come to
understand the journey of the soul from the Alpha of
absolute ignorance, to the Omega of Enlightened Light
and Knowledge, which must be accomplished over the
course of many lifetimes. And the fact that this
essential teaching was removed and outlawed from
Christianity, is easily demonstrated (see
http://ChristianReincarnation.org ). And once the
mystical path of TheWay is truly understood -- and the
fact that the escape from the illusion of Plato's Cave
is through an inner dimension of mind -- only then can
the sincere seeker begin to understand the reason why
Jesus taught the necessity of living the Consecrated
Life in TheWay -- seeking to transform yourself into
what is portrayed by AskMoses.com as the Final Temple
(see
http://TheThreeLies.com#temple ) -- and this will
enable you to enter within the Holy of Holies within
you, and learn from the True Prophet who will not only
open and Anoint your mind and understanding, but will
reveal all the Mysteries of life, the soul, and the
Kingdom to the few who prepare themselves to make the
journey. And that those who are quoted in the DVD The
God Who Was Not have not themselves made the necessary
journey in TheWay -- and themselves dwell under the
illusion of Plato's cave and the "outer darkness",
is the reason why they fail to understand the the
historical Jesus was a man who overcame the Laws within
himself, and achieved Absolute Unity with the Logos of
God.

As evidence
of their own ignorance -- regardless of
the facts that are presented to them -- Atheists,
and alleged scholarly intellectuals
are of
the impression that religions are
concocted in people's minds, in order to
explain away phenomena that they
(religious people) don't
understand. Yet,
nothing could in fact be further from
the truth. In a high school text
book I observed that Buddhism was
portrayed as being superior to Hinduism
because it wasn't as pagan -- yet, in this
same school text book, Buddhism was faulted
for
"having borrowed the belief in
reincarnation from Hinduism".
Yet, in a total denial of
what the Buddha actually taught, the wisdom of the
historical Buddha (Enlightened One) was
derived from the fact that his mind
became enlightened to the journey of his
soul over the course of the previous
lifetimes his soul had lived.
The historical Buddha, became the
Buddha, by virtue of the knowledge of
his past lives, as well as the knowledge
of his higher soul-reality that few
people possess any understanding of
whatsoever. Yet, the authors
of the school textbooks were unable to
even present the facts to the children, because from their secularly linear
mindset, it was inconceivable to the
authors of the school text book that
such realities as past lives could even exist.
Resulting in the inability of
the authors of the textbooks to present the religious facts
as they have been taught and accepted.
And while counterfeit religious
authorities do this same thing all
the time in their interpretations of
scriptures, that educational authorities
resort to this same practice, is simply
unforgivable! For no
other reason than their own structure of beliefs, they
refused to openly state Buddhist
teachings to the student --
and it was inconceivable to the text
book authors that, under the proper conditions,
the memory of previous lifetimes
can be restored to a person in this
world. Therefore, they merely attempted to
dismiss and ignore the facts, and
totally misrepresented Buddhism to the
students who were required by law to
study their misinformation.
But while I am not in any way a Buddhist,
what I found objectionable was the
secularized Atheistic spin that was
presented to the students under the
guise of a factual education -- and we see
this often in the secular Atheistic
position that religions merely borrow
beliefs from other religions, in order
to explain away phenomena. In fact, I
directly address this folly in the
above copy of my Blog
article which is a reply to the DVD
entitled, The God
Who Wasn't There . Contrary to
the folly of their thinking, the
similarities between the exoteric
allegorical scriptures of all religions
is not the result of borrowing religious
beliefs -- but rather, the fact that all
religions have the same spiritual
objective -- and the fact that they are
all striving to overcome the same
universal Laws and limitations of
consciousness, mind and being, within
themselves.

The Great
Void - Science, History, Philosophy &
Religion: From an
historical perspective, the limits of
intellectual inquiry and research is
inhibited by the great void in what can
be literally learned from the chronicles
of man's past. First off,
(1) it must be recognized that it is the
winners of all historical conflicts who
write the accounts of man's past -- and
thus, the historian is not only limited
by the political and philosophical spin
of these accounts, but when dealing with
man's spirituality and religion, it is
impossible for the literal and historic
minded researcher to even gain access to
the essence and core of the spiritual
movement. Why?
Because true spiritual movements have no
lineage that can be traced in the
historical or linear path.
The Laws that control this world twists
all of man's institutions to make them
turn upon their own First Principles --
i.e., see
The Law Of Octaves. -- and all
genuine spiritual movements are always
born at an interval in the Laws where
the original movements are immersed in
corruption. And it is the
movement of the Laws that the modern
linear thinking intellectual knows
absolutely nothing about, (2) that is
the second determining factor that makes
it near impossible for most
intellectuals to comprehend the birth of
not only genuine spiritual movement, but
all revolutions that bring about great
change. Therefore,
generally, the historian is an
intellectual -- and the crux of the
intervals of the Laws which cannot be
perceived in a linear manner -- an
interval in the Laws that brings about
the necessary conditions that
gives birth to the spiritual essence of
a religion -- is not only beyond the
linear-intellectual's grasp, but cannot
be documented in the traditional manner.
Since the
discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, there
has been a general consensus among
historians that the foundation of
Christianity is the Essenes.
The words of biblical scholar A. Powell
Davies warned the Christian world that
discoveries such as the Dead Sea Scrolls
had confirmed what they had believed all
along -- that the Roman Church created
the divinity of Jesus -- i.e.,
“Biblical
scholars were not disturbed by what they
found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because
they had known all along that the origin
of Christianity was not what was
commonly supposed to have been”
(quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light
on the Dead Sea Scrolls).
Proof of just how the Church under the
control of Pagan Rome took an entirely
different path than that prescribed by
Jesus is seen in the fact that
throughout most of the Christian world
today, the words mysticism and
Gnosticism are words more appropriately
used to describe heresy and heretics --
and yet, in the words of Dead Sea Scroll
expert Prof. John Allegro in is book,
The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of
Christianity, he writes:
“It is a fact
that the Qumran Library has profoundly
affected the study of the Johannine
writings and many longheld conceptions
have had to be radically revised. No
longer can John be regarded as the most
Hellenistic of the Evangelists; his
gnosticism, and the whole framework of
his thought is seen now to spring
directly from a Jewish sectarianism
rooted in palestinian soil, and his
material recognized as founded in the
earliest layers of Gospel traditions.”
What is the
meaning of the word mysticism? Briefly,
mysticism is descriptive of the ability
of man to look beyond the limitations of
the five senses in order to gain a
better understanding of life, God and
Creation. The whole concept of
mysticism is rejected by the linear
thinking intellectual who rejects the
existence of anything beyond the
perception of the five senses.
The word Gnostic, as used by Prof.
Allegro, is the Greek word used to
describe the acquisition of knowledge
gained through the mystical process of
man's inner and direct connection with
God. While Christians today
embrace the doctrine of faith that was
defined by the Apostle Paul, the flaw in
their many perception is seen in their
inability to understand that Paul’s
doctrine of faith was based upon the
foundation of mysticism that was laid by
the Apostle when he wrote:
“But the
natural man does not receive the things
of the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness to him; nor can he know
them, because they are spiritually
discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ).
And the very essence of all genuine
religious movements are
"foolishness" to
the mind of the untransformed organic
man, because the essence of the
spiritual movement is based and founded
upon those realities that are beyond the
vision and scope of the man's physical
senses -- i.e.,
"while
we do not look at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not
seen. For the things which are seen are
temporary, but the things which are not
seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18
NKJ).
While from
a dogmatic perception which has been
politically motivated from an
institutional vision rejects the truth
from one perspective, the linear
thinking scholar more often than not,
embraces an opposite error.
And from a Christian doctrinal
perspective, the words of Edmund Wilson,
an expert who worked on the Dead Sea
Scrolls, is even more detrimental to the
traditional Church position, when he
further raised the question as to what
difference it makes if
“Jesus... had
been trained in the discipline and
imbued with the thought of a certain
Jewish sect, and that he had learned
from it the role that he afterwards
lived...” (The Scrolls From
The Dead Sea).
It is
important to note that while the
institutional religious position
attempts to totally eliminate the human
element -- proclaiming that God manifest
in the form of man -- and his presence
in the earth had nothing to do with the
influences of man -- the linear
intellectual attempts to negate what he
sees as the supernatural, and attempts
to promote the position that Jesus was
the product of the Essene foundation,
which culminated in his proclamation
that he was the expected Messiah.
And while each of these positions
possess a thread of paradoxical truth,
the sum of their prevailing error
inhibits man from perceiving the true
facts of what has taken place in the
reality of mankind.
The
original Ebionite Nazirene disciples and
followers of Jesus who walked and talked
with him daily, held that he was a man
who became the Messiah by fulfilling the
Law, were condemned by the later Gentile
Church as heretics who were too Jewish
to understand what Jesus revealed to
them. These same
Gentiles who worshiped the emperor as
God -- as well as the sun, the moon, the
stars, the powers of nature as well as
manmade inanimate objects, declared
Jesus to be God. Thus, for
the modern Christian to blindly accept
even the ideas of God from these heathen
people, is in and of itself the
surrender of the very God-Given gift of
reason that separates man from the
beasts of the earth.
In The
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,
Gibbon notes that the teachings of Jesus
was “…embraced
by great numbers of the Therapeutae, or
Essinians…”, and wrote that:
“Le Clerc (Hist.
Ecclesiast p. 477, 535) seems to have
collected from Eusebius, Jerome,
Epiphanius, and other writers, all the
principle circumstances that relate to
the Nazarenes or Ebionites. The nature
of their opinions soon divided them into
a stricter and milder sect; and there is
some reason to conjecture that the
family of Jesus remained members... of
the latter and more moderate party”.
Which confirms that not only was Jesus'
mother and family members of the
Ebionites who were condemned by the
later idol and emperor worshiping Church
of Rome, but when it is realized that
the original Gospels declared that Jesus
was a man who became the Messiah/Christ
at his baptism in the Jordan (see
The Ten
Words) -- and that these words were
edited from their original context so
that the people of the empire could
continue in their traditional forms of
pagan belief and worship -- then the
whole doctrinal foundation of the Church
is counterfeit.
To even
suggest that the immediate family of
Jesus who came to be
Ebionites
("the poor
ones") did not have any
conversations about either his birth or
his relationship to both mankind and
God, is simply inconceivable.
And if, as is stated in the Book of
Acts, the brother and disciples of Jesus
were themselves Anointed
(Messiah/Christ) by the Holy Spirit --
and this direct communion with the Holy
Spirit failed to reveal the Truth with
respect to the nature of Jesus -- is
once again simply inconceivable.
When the people questioned the source of
Jesus' words, he called himself a
prophet: "So
they were offended at Him. But Jesus
said to them, A prophet is not without
honor except in his own country and in
his own house" (Matt 13:57
NKJ). And not only did
he call himself a prophet, but spoke of
the crucifixion as his ultimate process
of perfection:
"On that very
day some Pharisees came, saying to Him,
Get out and depart from here, for Herod
wants to kill You. And He said to
them, Go, tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast
out demons and perform cures today and
tomorrow, and the third day I shall be
perfected.' Nevertheless I must journey
today, tomorrow, and the day following;
for it cannot be that a prophet should
perish outside of Jerusalem"
(Luke 13:31-33 NKJ). And
when the man approached Jesus calling
him good teacher, Jesus rejected the
title stating:
"So Jesus said to him, Why do you call
Me good? No one is good but One, that
is, God" (Mark 10:18 NKJ).
And when it was recognized that the man
was asking Jesus about how to achieve
eternal life -- and that Jesus did not
reply to believe in him (Jesus) as God
-- but to keep the Law and the
Commandments -- then the Ebionite
position that Jesus became the Anointed
(Messiah/Christ) by fulfilling the Law
-- and that it was necessary for Jesus'
disciples and followers to in like
manner fulfill the Law and keep the
Commandments -- is exactly what Jesus
the Anointed Prophet taught and expected
of those who believed in what he taught.
Now if you
add to the above the very words
attributed to Jesus', we can understand
both the original Ebionite position that
followers of Jesus must keep the Law,
and the profound spiritual ignorance
which rejects the requirement of actions
as an integral part of the equation:
"Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have
not come to abolish them but to fulfill
them. I tell you the truth, until heaven
and earth disappear, not the smallest
letter, not the least stroke of a pen,
will by any means disappear from the Law
until everything is accomplished.
Anyone who breaks one of the least of
these commandments and teaches others to
do the same will be called least in the
kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices
and teaches these commands will be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I tell you that unless your
righteousness surpasses that of the
Pharisees and the teachers of the law,
you will certainly not enter the kingdom
of heaven"
(Matt 5:17-26
NIV).
Prior to
the scriptures being edited to support
the Pagan doctrines of Rome (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ), the
words spoken to Jesus by the Father was:
"Thou
art my Son, this day have I begotten
thee" (see
http://TheTenWords.com ). And this
original statement is further confirmed
in both the Book of Acts, as well as the
Epistle to the Hebrews -- wherein, with
regard to the passage at Hebrews 1:5,
The Adam Clark Commentary writes:
"This
most important use of this saying has
passed unnoticed by almost every
Christian writer which I have seen; and
yet it lies here at the foundation of
all the apostle's proofs. If Jesus was
not thus the Son of God, the whole
Christian system is vain and
baseless..." Stating
that if what Paul states is true --
which the scriptures confirm (see
http://TheTenWords.com ), then
"...the
whole Christian system is vain and
baseless..."
Why?
Because the teachings of Jesus
represented the pattern of healing to
bring about Wholeness -- whereas, the
Church since the fourth century has used
Jesus as a Pagan mojo sacrifice to
peddle a license for those of a heathen
mind and lifestyle of perversion, to
dwell in a state of perpetual sin and
spiritual abandonment. Ignoring the
words of Paul that such a mindset and
lifestyle is
"...apostasy [ to TheWay], since they
crucify the Son of God on their own
account and hold him up to contempt.."
Warning that
those who call themselves Christians and
thereafter
"...sin
deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins".
If it were
not already difficult enough for the
linear thinking intellectual scholar to
understand the spiritual essence of a
religious movement without comprehending
the movement of the Laws, the inner
dimension of of mind and being that is
the true Source of the birth of the
movement, and the interval in the Laws
and that dimension of mind which man
calls Time, that brought the conditions
of birth about in this world, makes the
task of the intellectual near
impossible. And in
like manner, the linear intellectual
scholar who attempts to discern what
men, or schools of thought, a man such
as Jesus learned from, does not
understand the reality of Wholeness, or
the result of fulfilling the Law within
one's self. Thus, each
of the positional opposites are equally
in grave error.
While it is
true that there are similarities between
the Essenes and the Gospel accounts of
the New Covenant, because of the
inherent void in the perception and
understanding of historians and experts
such as Edmund Wilson, whatever he wrote
failed to capture the true spiritual
essence of the Ebionite Nazirene
framework from which the Gospels were
drawn. And in this respect,
even the statement in the Encyclopedia
Britannica is only partially true where
they wrote: Thus, the Encyclopedia
Britannica writes:
"Most of the
features of Ebionite doctrine were
anticipated in the teachings of the
earlier Qumran sect, as revealed in the
Dead Sea Scrolls. They believed in one
God and taught that Jesus was the
Messiah and was the
true prophet
mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:15. They
rejected the Virgin Birth of Jesus,
instead holding that he was the natural
son of Joseph and Mary. The Ebionites
believed Jesus became the Messiah
because he obeyed the Jewish Law. They
themselves faithfully followed the Law,
although they removed what they regarded
as interpolations in order to uphold
their teachings, which included
vegetarianism, holy poverty, ritual
ablutions, and the rejection of animal
sacrifices. The Ebionites also held
Jerusalem in great veneration"
(Encyclopaedia Britannica Online).
Where the
historian and/or intellectual attempts
to trace the lineage of movements,
because the intellectual is incapable of
contemplating the inner dimension of
mind and being, the best that they can
present is fragments of truth that
cannot be fully understood.
In the case of Jesus and his disciples
who all entered into that life as a
group to institute the New Covenant
teachings of TheWay, there were vast
differences between the Essenes and the
Ebionite Nazirenes that would be near
impossible for the intellectual to
comprehend -- not without being able to
understand and even access, the
necessary inner dimensions of mind and
being that is the initiating factor in
the birth of a totally new spiritual
movement. And while
the Essenes provided an environment
within which this totally new spiritual
movement could be born, the great
differences were vast that separated the
Essenes from the New Covenant teachings
of TheWay.
In like
manner, Islam has been portrayed as
being strongly influenced by the
Ebionites living in Mecca who had been
run out of the Roman Empire by the
Church of Constantine, and the uncle of
Mohammed who was a Nestorian (Gnostic)
monk. And while on the
surface this may provide a feasible
answer that satisfies the mind of the
historian/intellectual, it remains
virtually impossible for the true facts
in the matter to be ascertained from a
linear perspective. And
while there is a connection between the
Ebionites and the foundings of Islam, it
is not at all in the traditional manner
that can be traced and understood by an
intellectual. More
factually, one of the most important
elements in the equation that the
historian and linear thinking
intellectual can't come to terms with --
and it is this point that is the most
important in man's search for Truth --
is presented in the example that, what
has come to be Islam was spontaneously
born from purely spiritual sources, and
the birth of the movement then
influenced the existing Ebionites and
Gnostic sects such as the Nestorians to
become Muslim. And while I
quote author and historian Dane Dahl
(see The True
History Of Islam) to demonstrate
that the founding of Islam is not at all
what has been traditionally taught --
and therefore what Dane Dahl writes on
some historical events (see
The True
History Of Islam) possesses greater
factual truth than the traditional
accounts -- his attempt to portray Islam
as being strongly influenced by the
Ebionites in and around Mecca, is simply
not spiritually accurate.
But unless you come to understand why
the void exists in the positions of the
historian and intellectual, you will
yourself make no substantial gains in
your quest to Know the Truth.
Using this
example it is important to recognize
that it is impossible for the historian
or intellectual to present an accurate
picture to the reader, without being
ostracized by their colleagues.
Anything that can't be proven and
demonstrated by the intellectual, is
immediately relegated to the category of
being faith-based. Yet, the
faith-based community which has been
compromised by priests who use religion
in their own pursuit of status, wealth
and cultural and political power, reject
the very source and reality of the
Gnostic mindset and knowledge that
initiated and brought about the
Spiritual birth of the movement, as
heresy and even satanic.
Which means that any historian or member
of the intellectual community that even
suggests the real source of a genuine
religious movement -- without cloaking
his unorthodox suggestions in
conjecture, psychobabel and doublespeak
-- will find himself very quickly run
out of the intellectual and scholarly
community. In the below I
will demonstrated from not only a
spiritual perspective, but also a
scientific perspective, why it is
presently impossible for the
intellectual community to eradicate the
void that inhibits their understanding.
An important clue to the equation can be
found in the very first order of
business in the Book of Acts, where
Spiritual Communities were established
-- and it was these Spiritual
Communities that served as not only the
bedrock -- but the very womb that
brought about the necessary subsequent
stages of birth -- that Jesus taught was
required to enter the Kingdom as a Child
of TheWay. That the modern
intellectual is attempting to
understand, what can only be
comprehended by the transformed by that
is in the process of bringing about this
next stage of birth -- is one of the
primary reasons why it it impossible for
the modern intellectual that has been
made subject to the anti-mind expansion
environment of our systems of education,
to make any real progress in the
development of mind beyond the organic
limitations that immerses mankind in the
illusions of
Plato's Cave, and what Jesus
portrayed as the
"outer darkness" of mind
and being (see
Outer Darkness). Resulting in
the fact that, because of both the
limitations of the faith-based and
intellectual communities which
environments maintain the great void,
the necessary inner dimensions of mind
and being that is the initiating factor
in the birth of a totally new spiritual
movement such as the Ebionite Nazirene
teachings of TheWay, as well as Islam,
simply cannot be documented or even
explored by the historian or
intellectual.
As will be
demonstrated throughout this article,
traditional science that is linear and
confined to the physical elements of
this world, has been shackled by the
same great void that has hindered the
historian. Yet, for the
first time the modern physicist has
begun to draw back the curtain to the
higher reality of the inner dimensions
of mind and being that give birth not
only to spiritual movements, but is in
fact the source of all events in this
world that has perpetually perplexed and
confused mankind. That
there is a cause and a reason for all
events in the lives of all peoples that
cannot be perceived using the senses of
the body, has immersed the intellectuals
and philosophers of this world in the
abyss of unknowing. That
this limited vision and understanding
created by the void has caused man's
philosophers and traditional scientists
to cling to what can only be portrayed
as flat-earth fossilized conclusions, is
presented in the words:
“The
present scientific establishment has
grown somewhat fossilized by its current
world picture and is locked into a view
of reality that has outlived its
usefulness. It has begun to limit
mankind’s growth and has so increased
its sense of specialization,
separateness, materiality, and
mechanical computer-like functioning
that it is in real danger of
self-extermination”
(William A. Tiller, Materials
Sciences Department, Stanford
University).
While
the findings of the physicist that has
proven the traditional world picture to
be fossilized, it is also true that
unless the physicist himself begins to
embark on a path that will reveal to him
the esoteric realities that he has only
begun to discover, then the physicist
will himself find himself flat-lined in
his search for the source of what he
perceives with his physical senses.
Jesus portrayed this world as the Far
Country -- and the
"outer darkness" of mind
and being --
because the
mind and senses of organic man is only
capable of perceiving the tip of the
iceberg -- and only then, in the
allegorical form of that aspect of mind
that the objects in the outer world
represent.
It is the
reality of the Great Void that causes
intellectuals to embrace the fossilized
and mentally flat-lined Theory of
Evolution. It is once again,
the reality of the Great Void that
seduces intellectuals to conclude that
religions borrow doctrines of belief
from other religions.
Because most of the ancient religions
embraced the traditional Virgin Birth of
a savior-god, the Great Void has seduced
the intellectuals to conclude that
Christianity and most religions merely
borrowed this doctrine from each other.
In the same way that the historian can't
conceive of the the inner dimension of
mind and being that is the initiating
factor in the birth of a genuine
spiritual movement, neither can the
intellectual conceive of the true source
of these doctrines that they erroneously
conclude must be borrowed.
In like
manner, while the intellectual would
like to attribute such world events as
the Holocaust to men like Hitler, it
remains true that Hitler and Nazi
Germany were in many respects danced on
the world's stage by the predetermined
factors and the underlying Laws that
brought these events about.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan, the former chief
rabbi of Israel, a religious scholar who
was also the spiritual leader of the
Shas party, made the statement that no
innocent Jews died in the Holocaust.
What Rabbi Yosefan said was that the 6
million Holocaust victims
"were
reincarnations of the souls of sinners,
people who transgressed and did all
sorts of things that should not be
done.” Rabbi Yosefan
explained that these souls who had
previously lived lives of sin,
“…had been
reincarnated in order to atone.”
Thus, there
were underlying factors of predetermined
events, in conjunction with the Laws
that control all events in this world,
which brought the Holocaust about -- and
since the intellectual can't access
either the source of the predetermining
events, nor does he possess any
understanding of the Laws, it is this
Great Void that perpetually causes him
to remain blind in what Jesus portrayed
as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being.
And while the intellectual will attempt
to dismiss what I am stating,
their rejection is the product of their
own blind ignorance.
Einstein experienced shock when he first
came into contact with the new reality
of atomic physics, and wrote in his
autobiography:
“All my attempts to adapt the
theoretical foundation of physics to
this [new type of] knowledge failed
completely. It was as if the ground had
been pulled out from under one, with no
firm foundation to be seen anywhere,
upon which one could have built”.
In the words of Einstein:
“We may
therefore regard matter as being
constituted by the regions of space in
which the field is extremely intense…
There is no place in this new kind of
physics both for the field and matter,
for the field is the only reality”
(quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical
Impact of Contemporary Physics).
Therefore, unless a researcher has the
ability to access the field that is the
source of what appears to the senses in
what man perceives as concrete matter,
then it will remain impossible for him
to even begin to contemplate the true
reality of what he thinks he sees or
perceives. And it is
this inability of the organic senses or
mind of man to access the causal Etheric
Field, that is representative of the
Great Void in his vision and
understanding of all world events --
past, present, and the future.
^
Science
Proves The Gnostic Vision:
Gnosis is the Greek word meaning
Spiritual Knowledge -- and True Gnosis is defined
as Knowledge received directly from God.
Gnosis cannot be found in a book -- it
cannot be taught by another man or
teacher of this world -- and it is
representative of a higher spiritual
reality that simply cannot be redefined
by man. Gnosis is the Greek
word which indicates that revelationary
experiential Knowledge received from God
-- and cannot be imparted by any other
Source. Which means that when quasi-religious
and politically-religious motivated people
condemn Gnosis/Spiritual Knowledge as
heresy, they are in every way condemning
and rejecting the Divine Manna imparted
to the most religious and spiritual of
mankind, as heresy.
Those who ignorantly condemn Gnosis,
condemn the Knowledge of God. And the fact that, because of the
politics of religion and the fact that
governments the world over have
traditionally used religion as a means
to maintain rule and authority over the people, we can
begin to understand the very reason why
genuine Mystics who have dedicated their
lives to seeking Spiritual Knowledge --
defined as Gnosis -- have concealed the
means to acquire this Spiritual
Knowledge within the written text of the
scriptures -- cloaked in allegory, so it
would not be revealed to carnal/organic
man.
What this means
is that Gnosis has nothing to do with
man's history -- nothing to do with any
historical people, including Jesus and
Mary Magdalene (see
The Cult Of The Worship Of Mary
Magdalene) -- and what is presented
in the scriptures, is an allegorical
portrayal of the forces and Laws at work
within the cosmology of one's own body,
mind/soul and spirit.
That this body of
esoteric knowledge is so important to
preserve and protect, is the reason why
Mystics and Spiritual Disciples will
write virtually anything in the literal
text -- even outlandish absurdities --
so long as the unenlightened people of
organic consciousness will insure it is
carried forth into future generations.
Organic man
sees himself as nothing more than the
physical body -- i.e., human meat spread
out upon a butcher's block -- and one
of the primary inherent problems
of this gravely limited understanding of self, is that in accord with mankind's organic
mindset, it is virtually impossible for
him to even conceive why a group of men
would go to such lengths to conceal,
protect, and preserve certain types of knowledge
that most men would consider dubious at
best? The knowledge that
organic man envisions, pertains to the
day to day realities of this life which
is temporal, because it is cultural -- and
nothing more. The concepts
of religion that organic man envisions,
has to do with beliefs in what is
classified as the unknown -- and man's
survival after death which he portrays
as achieving salvation.
It never even dawns on the limited
vision and understanding of organic man
that from a spiritual perspective, he is
already dead -- and the objective of
true religion is to enable him to escape
this condition of death which Jesus
portrayed as the
"outer darkness" of mind
and being. From the limited
perspective of organic man who exists in
a state of spiritual death, everything
beyond the very limited reality that he
sees with his physical senses, would be
considered mere unproven speculation.
And since organic man in his condition
of spiritual death in the
"outer
darkness" is totally ignorant
of hot only his own higher spiritual
reality -- but exists in an unknowing
condition of undeveloped and inhibited
level of consciousness -- he becomes
offended and even overtly hostile, when
he is told by one who actually knows,
that his ideas of birth, life, death and
salvation, are not only reflective
shadows often perceived in reverse of
his higher true reality, but are gravely
flawed. Traditionally,
when one who possesses genuine Gnosis
attempts to convey higher soul-reality
to organic man, the enlightened Gnostic
is condemned as a heretic, and in the
past he was slain -- i.e.,
"...but an hour
is coming for everyone who kills you to
think that he is offering service to
God" (John 16:1-2 NAS).
In order to preserve their scriptures
from being destroyed,
the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls
protected their writings by hiding them
in caves -- while the early Christians
who hid the Nag Hammadi Library from the
threat of destruction by the fourth
century Church of Rome (see
Pure Scriptures), clearly
preserved these writing for a future
time, long after they had departed this
world. And this fact, in and
of itself, should provoke great thought.
By our manner of
thinking, we can't even imagine why a
religious group would create scriptures written in a secret code,
which preserved an esoteric knowledge,
for some unknown people in the future --
who, lacking the code, would not even be
able to decipher this esoteric
knowledge.
It is modern man's failure to understand
the motivations that moved these
(heretic) religious groups in the past
to -- at all cost -- preserve their
scriptures and sacred writings, that
totally alienates modern man from
gaining access to the very Source of
Knowledge that would provide him with
the most important answers, to his most
important questions, pertaining to the
life that he is presently living.
That modern man believes that he knows,
is perhaps the epitome of his
intellectual and religious folly that
shackles him to the abyss of profound
ignorance.
To the Ephesians Paul asks for them to pray for him,
saying: "And for me, that utterance may be given unto
me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I
ought to speak" (see Eph 6:19-20). What is the meaning of the word
"mystery"? Thayer's Lexicon states that it
is a "hidden thing, secret, mystery... confided only to
the initiated and not to ordinary mortals. A hidden or secret thing, not
obvious to the understanding. Of God: The secret counsels which govern God in
dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men... in
rabinic writings, it denotes the mystic or hidden sense of an Old Testament
saying..."
What Paul is stating is that spiritual knowledge
(Gnosis) belongs only to those who are themselves spiritual. Why?
Not because
anyone desires to conceal this esoteric knowledge -- but rather, the organic
facilities of mind associated with the limitations of the physical body, are
simply incapable of perceiving man's own higher reality of soul and spirit.
Paul therefore portrays himself as an ambassador who
has been sent to speak to the people -- and that because they are yet too
immature and carnal
to understand the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom,
he cannot speak openly as to both the true spiritual meaning of the Gospel, or his true knowledge
of the Gospel. Thus, Paul stated to the baptized believers that he
himself had instructed: "And I, brethren, could not
speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.
I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to
receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal"
(1 Cor 3:1-3 NKJ). And that the Christian was to overcome the
limitations of their carnal minset and nature -- enabling them to expand and evolve
the mind and the transformation of their
physical being into a
state of spiritual maturity -- with the objective of the Gospel message as
demonstrated in the commandment of Paul: "Put to death,
therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature..." (Col 3:5 NIV)
-- "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the
sinful nature with its passions and desires" (Gal 5:24 NIV).
Thayer's Lexicon uses the
term initiate -- and an initiate is one who has become prepared to receive
higher instruction and revelation. In the parable of the ten virgins
(Matt 25:1-13), only those who had
prepared themselves with the oil of
purification could receive the Lord at
his coming. Thus, the five
who had prepared themselves were the
initiates -- and while the other five
virgins believed and had faith in his
coming -- and were in fact awaiting the
coming of the Lord -- to those believers
who had not prepared themselves with the
oil of purification it was said:
"Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know
you". In the parable of the Sower and the
Seed (
http://messianic.nazirene.org/sower_seed.html ), this
preparedness is taken one step further
-- as in the rungs of the proverbial
Jacob's Ladder. Those who bring
forth what is portrayed as sixtyfold, can perceive and understand a higher perception and
understanding of what Paul calls the Mysteries of the Kingdom, than those who
have brought forth thirtyfold -- and while the ones who have brought forth one
hundredfold, can perceive and understand what others cannot. Yet,
the parable of the Sower and the Seed
also warns that those who have not
overcome their human carnal nature, and
have failed to bring about the process of expansion of mind and being by becoming the
"good ground", cannot even begin to understand anything of any true sustenance and
spiritual value. Thus, the warning of Jesus to those who
ignore what the parable of the Sower and the Seed states:
“Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know
all parables?” (Mark 4:13 KJV) -- or, in the wording of a the modern
language New Living Translation: “But if you can’t
understand this story, how will you understand all the others I am going to
tell?” That the vast majority of believers, as well as
the Gospel critics, all fail to understand the true spiritual meaning of the
Bible, is because they ignore what this parable states to them.
In analyzing
what the Thayer's Lexicon is stating
above: Because the people are not yet initiates into the knowledge
that is beyond the understanding of "...ordinary
mortals" -- secret knowledge that is
"...not obvious to the understanding" -- knowledge that is
impossible to be revealed in the written text of the scriptures -- knowledge that Paul, as
"...an ambassador in bonds", cannot speak
openly about to the congregation of believers who he himself taught -- Paul portrays the congregation of believers as
"babes in
Christ". Again, to the Colossians Paul asks for their prayers
that "...God would open unto us a door of utterance, to
speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it
manifest, as I ought to speak" (see Col 5:3-4). Thus, these
mysteries of the Gospel that Paul portrays as beyond the comprehension of believers of a
"natural" mind, because these believers of the Gospel will look upon
and reject esoteric spiritual concepts as utter
"foolishness"
(1 Cor 2:14) --
cannot be revealed in man's spoken or written words -- but only when
"...God ...opens ...a door of utterance, to [reveal] the
mystery of Christ" -- a knowledge that cannot be revealed
"...to ordinary mortals. A hidden or secret thing, not
obvious to the understanding" -- including
"...the mystic or hidden sense of an Old Testament" story.
And while God wants all the lost pro
prodigal sons and daughters to receive
the sacred knowledge which in Thayer's
Lexicon it states is
"...not obvious to the understanding [of] ...ordinary
mortals" -- because the
human earthly nature must be evolved,
this sacred knowledge can only be
perceived and comprehended by those who
have prepared themselves to receive it.
When Jesus said of his disciples:
“The
secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside
everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never
perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding” (Mark 4:11-12
NIV) -- that word translated secret, is
the same word translated mystery, and makes reference to an esoteric knowledge that
is beyond man's organic comprehension.
Yet, in a state of
spiritual denial, the modern Church attempts to ignore the implications of
what these words convey. In explanation of the
above words of Jesus, the Wycliffe Commentary writes that:
“…the initiate was instructed in the esoteric teaching... which was
not revealed to outsiders… The mystery of the kingdom in its ultimate
development is the full-orbed message of the Gospel (Rom 16:25-26). The purpose
of parables was to instruct the initiates without revealing the items of
instruction to the ones who were without. This is in keeping with the Biblical
principle that spiritual understanding is restricted to those who have become
spiritual...”
If, as openly stated above, it is true that Jesus taught initiates differently
than the multitude of people who he portrayed as being
"...outside",
then a true seeker must conclude that every article of faith promoted by the Church
today, would have to be totally
re-evaluated. Thus the question: What was Jesus stating with respect to why he spoke in
parables? To ignore this question, is to reject the whole
foundational objective and revelation of the Bible. Jesus was stating that only those who become
separate from the thinking and ways of this world, and became true disciples of
Messiah/Christ, are able to perceive and understand the secrets of the Kingdom
of God -- and in the Greek language, this sacred Knowledge is called Gnosis. And by the very meaning
of the word that is being presented that cannot be revealed
"...to ordinary mortals. A hidden or secret thing, not
obvious to the understanding" -- it is of the utmost importance to
recognize that what is being conveyed is the fact that
"...spiritual understanding is restricted to those who have become
spiritual...”. Why?
Because man in his organic or "natural" condition of mind, has yet to
develop the facilities of mind necessary to receive and comprehend this higher
spiritual knowledge that the biblical authors are making reference to.
And this fact of human life that everyone must eventually come to terms with, is
demonstrated in the Gospel of Thomas in the saying:
(17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has
heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human
mind." It is not that either Jesus or the disciples
wanted to hide or conceal higher spiritual facts and realities from anyone --
but rather, the organic human mind which is limited by the consciousness and
vibratory spectrum of thought of the physical body, simply is incapable of
comprehending any thoughts, impressions and realities beyond what the organic
human body/mind will accommodate, without evolving through the process of
transformation that was -- and remains -- the primary objective of the Gospel
message and teachings. Jesus came to lead the lost prodigal sons and
daughters into the kingdom -- but for the inner "narrow
strait gate" to open, the body and physical mind must become what is
allegorically portrayed as the Final Temple.
When
it is recognized that this very warning was stated by Paul to the baptized and
totally committed believers at Corinth -- i.e., “I
always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in
him you have been enriched in every way -- in all your speaking and in all your
knowledge -- because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore
you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ
to be revealed” (1 Cor 1:4-7 NIV) -- the modern reader who does not
pause and reflect on what this means -- personally -- to them, remains a blind man who is beyond
the reach of the Gospel message. What is Paul stating to the
believers at Corinth? That
even though Paul himself had instructed
them in the
"testimony" of Christ -- and
that they had received the entire
revelation of the Good News of the
Gospel -- to the degree that they were
not "...lacking
any spiritual gift" -- they
had yet to evolve and mature those
facilities of mind that would enable
them to perceive, discern and comprehend
the higher reality of the soul and what
Paul portrayed as the Mystery of the
Gospel. And this is
especially demonstrated in the second chapter of the very same Epistle
where Paul warns these believers who have
been given all primary historical knowledge and testimony of Christ: “But
the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness to him;
nor can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ).
And just as important is thee fact that
Paul stated that when they complete the
process of transformation and achieve
this higher level of spiritual maturity,
that the Christ will come to them and
teach them -- i.e.,
"...as you
eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ
to be revealed”.
And thus, this is the meaning of the
allegorical End Times when the Kingdom
(within) comes upon the earth (the body)
of the disciple/seeker.
This Spiritual Knowledge that can only
be revealed by the Lord, is called
Gnosis -- i.e., spiritually experienced
and acquired knowledge that can only be
imparted to those who have so prepared
themselves that they are as virgins who
have filled their lamps with the oil of
purification necessary to receive the
Lord.
The early
Christian Valentinius quoted Paul's
Epistle to the Ephesians when he made
reference to
Gnosis Kardias -- or, the
enlightened eyes of the heart.
"I pray also
that the eyes of your heart may be
enlightened in order that you may know
the hope to which he has called you, the
riches of his glorious inheritance in
the saints" (Eph 1:18).
And that Paul wanted very much to speak
about the Mystery of the Gospel to the
Ephesians, but could not, is the reason
he portrayed himself as an ambassador in
bonds: "And for me, that utterance may be given unto
me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I
ought to speak" (see Eph 6:19-20). And how did a
seeker/disciple obtain these enlightened
eyes of the heart? Very
briefly, by fulfilling the role of a
virgin who awaits the Lord with the oil
of purification -- and by becoming the
"good ground"
that permits the necessary expansion of
the facilities of mind to be brought
about, which enables the seeker/disciple
to be taught by the Indwelling Logos/Son
of God/True Prophet. And in
the same way that in the parable of the
ten virgins it was said to those who had
failed to prepair themselves with the
oil of purification that
"Assuredly, I
say to you, I do not know you"
-- even though they believed and had
called upon the Lord and was awaiting
his coming, this reality of the believer
who has failed to prepare himself is
futher explored in the early Christian
scripture known as the Shepherd of
Hermas.
In the introduction of the early
Christian writing known as the Shepard
of Hermas, it is written:
“The Pastor of
Hermas was one of the most popular
books, if not the most popular book, in
the Christian Church during the second,
third, and fourth centuries... In
ancient times two opinions prevailed in
regard to the authorship. The most
widely spread was, that the Pastor of
Hermas was the production of the Hermas
mentioned in the Epistle to the Romans.
Origen states this opinion distinctly,
and it is repeated by Eusebius and
Jerome”.
If, then, it is true that the Pastor of
Hermas was one of the most important
scriptural authorities over the first
four centuries, then we can use it in
our endeavor to better understand the
essence of early Christian thought.
What the Shepherd of Hermas has
to say is very important to us today,
because it represents the scriptural
tradition that was taught directly to
the faithful flock by the Apostles of
Christ. Thus, on the
nature of scripture, in the Shepherd we
find: “I
am senseless, sir, say I, and do not
understand these parables. For how she
can crush out, and on the other hand
save, I do not perceive. Listen, says
he. Those who have never searched for
the truth, nor investigated the nature
of the Divinity, but have simply
believed, when they devote themselves to
and become mixed up with business, and
wealth, and heathen friendships, and
many other actions of this world, do not
perceive the parables of Divinity; for
their minds are darkened by these
actions, and they are corrupted and
become dried up. Even as beautiful
vines, when they are neglected, are
withered up by thorns and divers plants,
so men who have believed, and have
afterwards fallen away into many of
those actions above mentioned, go astray
in their minds, and lose all
understanding in regard to
righteousness; for if they hear of
righteousness, their minds are occupied
with their business, and they give no
heed at all. Those, on the other hand,
who have the fear of God, and search
after Godhead and truth, and have their
hearts turned to the Lord, quickly
perceive and understand what is said to
them, because they have the fear of the
Lord in them. For where the Lord dwells,
there is much understanding. Cleave,
then, to the Lord, and you will
understand and perceive all things”.
The message that is very clear from
this early Christian writing is that it
is impossible to mature spiritually,
while attempting to divide oneself
between the two worlds.
In our present day culture we are
living proof as to the validity of the
wisdom that is portrayed in this writing
-- i.e., one cannot perceive the true
meaning of the parables and the inner
significance of the historical narrative
of the scriptures, while one devotes
their lives to their
“business, and
wealth, and heathen friendships, and
many other actions of this world”
-- which would include the whole array
of addictions provided by all the many
leisure’s and entertainments that
captivate and control our every-day
lives. Further, do we
truly do unto others as we would want
others to do unto us -- i.e., do we send
our children (the souls who were placed
in our care) off to government
secularized schools to become imbued
with the thinking, mindset and lifestyle
of the heathen culture in which we
presently live?
In the Shepherd of Hermas a reference
is made to a tower, of which it is
written:
“And the tower, I
asked, what does it mean? This tower, he
replied, is the Church. And these
virgins, who are they? They are Holy
Spirits, and men cannot otherwise be
found in the kingdom of God unless these
have put their clothing upon them: for
if you receive the name only, and do not
receive from them the clothing, they are
of no advantage to you. For these
virgins are the powers of the Son of
God. If you bear His name but possess
not His power, it will be in vain that
you bear His name”.
In understanding what is
written, it is most important for us to
be aware of the continual message found
in the words:
“If you bear His
name but possess not His power, it will
be in vain that you bear His name”.
Thus, if you call yourselves
Christian, but fail to purify and
develop your mind and body from the
defilements of this world -- and do not
possess the true Knowledge of the
Spiritual Christ -- and have not
yourselves inherited the same higher
powers of mind that the Son of God
promised all his followers would possess
-- then
“it will be in vain that you bear His
name”.
And
again, this is demonstrated in the words
spoken to those who believed upon the
coming of the Lord, and even called upon
his name, but had failed to bring with
them the oil of purification, where it
was stated:
"Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know
you"
The problem
that Paul is unsuccessfully attempting
to convey to the reader is this: What
was revealed to the True believers and
disciples of Jesus and TheWay at the
beginning of our Common Era, was truly
the most Black Swan Event every to
transpire. Organic man
-- whether he is a believer or
unbeliever -- whether he is a scholar or
an acclaimed intellectual genus by the
standards of our culture -- those who
are limited to man's organic senses and
reasoning, are simply not prepared to
even envision man's own higher soul and
spiritual reality. And in
view of the fact that Jesus himself made
reference to bringing about subsequent
stages of birth, the vast majority of
mankind who have chosen to ignore these
crucial words of Jesus, and have not
brought about these subsequent stages of
birth, can no more envision their own
higher soul and spiritual reality, than
a sperm or ovum can envision the life of
a child beyond the limitations of the
womb where the development of a fetus
takes place.
Unlike the
flock of believers at Corinth to whom
the Epistle is written, the modern
Christian was not taught directly by
Paul -- and the very fact that the
Christian world remains divided by an
uncountable number of factions and
manmade doctrines of belief based upon
organic carnal reasoning, is proof of the
deficiency of the modern dogma and doctrines that are promoted by the Churches.
In understanding man's human and often
complacent nature, Paul even went as far to say that anyone
who promotes a faction -- i.e., a
doctrine of belief -- is a sinner who
has been turned out of TheWay (see
No Sects). Why?
Because the primary objective of the
teachings of Jesus and TheWay was to
bring about the necessary subsequent
stages of birth and transformation
of the disciple/seeker -- a process of
transformation that would
enable them to Know All things, and find
the Gospel being fulfilled within themselves
in a manner that could not be understood
by organic man.
Therefore, according to Paul, those who cling to manmade
doctrines of belief, have already been
turned out of TheWay.
It is important to recognize that the believers at
Corinth who Paul stated were too carnal to
understand the higher reality of the
soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom,
existed at a time when these Gospel
teachings were still in a pure and
undefiled state. This was in
a timeframe that could truly be
classified as "BC" -- i.e.,
Before
Constantine and the Pagan Church of
Rome that threw away and lost the
spiritual essence of the teachings of
TheWay. Therefore
it must be acknowledged that whatever
the modern believer views as the Gospel
requirements with respect to faith,
saying the proper prayer accepting the
Lord as their personal savior, or any
other such requirement, no modern believer
can even suggest that Paul did not know
the Gospel requirements when he
personally taught and baptized the
Corinth flock of believers.
Yet, Paul then goes on and warns these
believers of a yet untransformed
"natural"
mind who were committed and dedicated to
Christ: “And I,
brethren, could not speak to you as to
spiritual men, but as to men of flesh,
as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor
3:1 NAS). Thus, these
believers who were taught personally by
Paul -- in a time of greater spiritual
purity, B.C. -- could only be taught the
doctrine of Jesus Christ and him
crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were
not yet spiritual men -- but rather,
they were men of flesh and still very
much “babes in
Christ”. Paul then explains
that: “I gave
you milk to drink, not solid food; for
you were not yet able to receive it.
Indeed, even now you are not yet able”
(1 Cor 3:2 NAS).
What should be
troubling to the modern believer is that
Paul openly admits that the baptized and
confirmed Christians at Corinth --
people who had accepted Jesus as their
Lord and Savior and received the gifts
of the laying on of hands and speaking
in tongues -- people who were not taught
by preachers and priests, but the
Apostle himself -- were not yet able to
understand and comprehend what Paul
referred to as the Mysteries of the
Gospel of God. When it
is recognized that Paul confessed that
if he attempted to convey to this
congregation of believers the true
spiritual meaning of the allegorical scriptures,
or the esoteric knowledge which is
preparatory to comprehending what Paul
portrays as the higher reality of the
soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom --
that these same believers would condemn
and reject these higher spiritual
concepts as
"foolishness" -- then only a
fool would claim that they know what is
spiritually true and false by virtue of
their study of the written words of the
scriptures.
Speaking of
the Disciples and what they experienced
in order to learn and know the Truth
that other men were blind to,
Paul writes that they were
"caught
up into Paradise and heard inexpressible
words, which it is not lawful for a man
to utter" (2 Cor 12:4-5 NKJ).
Why? Every sincere Christian and
intelligent reader of the Gospels must
ask the questions: Why can't the
experience of being brought up into
Paradise be expressed in words? And
perhaps even more important is the
question as to why
"...it is not lawful for a man to
utter" what a Disciple who
enters the Kingdom experiences?
Moreover, if this witness to the
inconceivable higher realities of the
Kingdom is true, then why can't
Christians gain access to the same
spiritual experience of entering the
Kingdom as Jesus' disciples did?
When Jesus stated that those who walk in
TheWay will find revealed to them the
"Truth that
sets them free", he was not
making reference to the
"milk"
fed to those Christians who Paul
portrayed as “babes in
Christ” -- but rather, the
mature disciples who had brought about
the necessary transformation of their
lower animal earthly nature, brought
about the subsequent stages of birth,
and emerging out of what Jesus portrayed
as the "outer
darkness" of mind and being,
was able to begin to receive the revelation of Gnosis
directly from the Logos of God -- which
is incomprehensible to the organic mind
of man, even when they are committed and
baptized believers who Paul states, had
received the initial gifts of the spirit. These
are serious questions, that can only be
addressed by very serious seekers who
truly seek not only to Know the Lord,
but to Know anything beyond the temporal
mundane of this world which fades like
the cycle of leaves falling off a tree
before the winter.
The most
profound statement which is all but
ignored by seekers today, is found in
the Epistle of Peter And James where it
is written:
"Hear me,
brethren and fellow-servants. If we
should give the books to all
indiscriminately, and they should be
corrupted by any daring men, or be
perverted by interpretations, as you
have heard that some have already done,
it will
remain even for
those who really seek the truth, always
to wander in error. Wherefore
it is better that they should be with
us, and that we should communicate them
with all the fore-mentioned care to
those who wish to
live piously, and to save
others."
Why would it
be stated that, if the esoteric wisdom
and knowledge of the teachings of Jesus
and TheWay were to be lost, that it
"...will remain even for those who
really seek the truth, always to wander
in error"???
And while many people think they know,
in truth these words represent a reality
that they have yet to come to terms
with:
“If any one imagines that he knows
something, he does not yet know as he
ought to know”
(1 Cor 8:2 RSV).
When Paul
warns the baptized and committed
Christians at Corinth that, because they
were of an organic and
"natural"
mind, they were yet too carnal in their
understanding to comprehend the
spiritual meaning of the Gospel -- which
is often referred to as the Mysteries of
the Kingdom of God -- he conveyed to
them the reality that they would judge
and even condemn this higher reality of
the Spirit as absolute
"foolishness"
-- i.e.,
“But the natural
man does not receive the things of the
Spirit of God, for they are foolishness
to him; nor can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned”
(1 Cor 2:14 NKJ). Thus, it is
imperative to ask the question: What is
the "natural
man"? The condition of
mankind that Paul is making reference
to, would just as well be portrayed as
"organic"
-- or, of the physical body. The
"natural man"
, is the
"organic"
human being.
And what Paul warns is that the mere act
of turning to belief in Jesus does not
in any manner enable the believer to
understand the true Gospel Teachings
that can only be grasped by those who
have undergone the necessary spiritual
transformation of mind and being of
truly walking in TheWay.
It is said
that human consciousness is like the tip
of an iceberg -- and in the same way
that only a very small tip which is
supported by an immense foundation of
ice protrudes above the water where it
can be seen -- organic man who Paul
portrays as of a natural mind, can only
utilize a very small portion of his
potential of mind. Like an ovum that
is released into a woman's womb, without
the proper and balanced fertilization,
and the necessary environment that
initiated growth and development, the
mind of organic man remains earthbound
in it's thinking -- simply because those
higher areas of mind that are not
necessary to the support
of the physical body and the culture of
this world, do not develop! Because
these areas of mind are rarely to ever used, they
not only fail to develop, but they
remain mentally atrophied.
Therefore, it is not a question of how
smart a person is from the perspective
of man's way of measuring
intelligence. But rather, it is a
reality that if these higher areas of
mind that do not correspond to the
vibration of the earth are not properly
stimulated and developed in the proper
environment that initiates growth and
maturation, then the very spheres of
mind required to contemplate and
understand anything beyond the physical
and mundane, simply fail to develop.
And when Paul states that the wisdom of
this world will come to naught (1 Cor
2:6-8), it is because of these organic
limitations that inhibit all of mankind
who are of a
"natural mind", from
understanding anything beyond the forms
of this physical world. And as I will
demonstrate in the below, even the most
brilliant of secular intellectuals do
not in any manner possess any real
understanding of even the forms they
see, as they look out into the world in
which they presently dwell. In fact,
you could enroll in all the most
esteemed colleges and universities that
man has created -- you could endlessly
study the volumes of books composed and
written by men considered wise throughout the ages --
and your wisdom and knowledge would pale
in comparison to the Disciples of Jesus
and the earliest of Spiritual Christians
who were sincere Disciples of TheWay.
The average
modern believer who reads these words
would probably reply: If this is true,
then the Disciples of Jesus were set
apart from the rest of mankind, and we
cannot expect to know what they knew.
Yet, nothing could be further from the
truth! The flock of Christian
believers have in fact been robbed of
their inheritance -- like the lost
prodigal son -- by embracing the
consciousness of the earth over the
spiritual -- which Paul portrayed as the way of
the god of this world -- which Jesus
portrayed as the Citizen of the Far
Country. That
early Christians, other than the
disciples themselves, also inherited the
promise of the teachings of Jesus and
TheWay, is demonstrated in the writings
of the first century elder
Ignatius, who personally knew both Paul and
the other Disciples.
And in his Epistle to the Trallaus he
speaks of the Mysteries of the Gospel
and the Kingdom in the same exact manner
that Paul does, and writes:
“Might I
not write to you things more full of
mystery? But I fear to do so, lest I
should inflict injury on you who are
babes. Pardon me in this respect, lest,
as not being able to receive their
weighty import, ye should be strangled
by them”.
The only way that Ignatius could have
written these words, was if he, himself,
understood what was beyond the
comprehension of the organic mind of the
believers of the simple faith. And
while he states that he understood what
was incomprehensible to the organic mind
of man, he also confesses that though he
is aware of the mysteries, he is not yet
“by any means
perfect, nor am I such a disciple as
Paul or Peter”.
Thus, Paul writes to the congregation at
Corinth -- who being babes in Christ,
only knew Jesus and him crucified --
where he wrote:
"We speak wisdom, however, among them
that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of
this world, nor of the rulers of this
world, who are coming to nought"
(1
Cor 2:6
ASV). In other translations
the word fullgrown, is translated either
mature or perfect. Yet, in
not even understanding the primary
objectives of the Gospel, modern
believers study and learn the wisdom of
this world and the opinions of men,
failing to move on to maturity and learn
directly from God -- i.e.,
"It is written
in the Prophets: 'They will all be
taught by God.' Everyone who listens to
the Father and learns from him comes to
me" (John 6:45
NIV). Not in belief,
doctrine, or to a manmade church -- but
rather, the objective of the teachings
of TheWay is to enter in at the inner
"narrow gate",
and learn directly from God in the
Kingdom. And to accomplish
this, it is necessary to disregard that
which we see without our physical eyes
and understanding, and seek and learn
via our spiritual eyes that is able to
perceive beyond the limits of this world
-- i.e., "While
we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not
seen: for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18
KJV).
The folly of the Christian world is seen
in the fact that they learn from the
teachers of this world who proclaim that
there is no unseen -- and only what is
seen with one's physical eyes is valid.
Christians send their children to learn
about what is temporal, while alienating
themselves from what is eternal.
Christians flock to churches which are
temporal and built with the hands of
men, while rejecting the Temple of their
soul which is Eternal and Sustaining.
With respect to the witness of Ignatius:
What preacher of the Gospel today would
stand before his congregation and state
to the people in their pews, that if he
was to reveal the true teachings of the
New Covenant -- the Mysteries of the
Gospel of God -- he would
“inflict
injury on you who are babes”
in Christ? What teaching of the
Lord could a present-day preacher of the
gospel reveal that the congregation of
believers are not
“able to receive their weighty
import”?
If Ignatius or the other early
Church Fathers who knew the Mysteries of
the Kingdom of God were with us today,
what profound mystery could they speak
regarding the true teachings of Jesus
that believers today would be
“strangled by them”?
Throughout
the history of mankind those who have
openly claimed to possess the Secret
Knowledge which is called Gnosis, were
condemned as elitists and heretics.
Yet, what the rest of mankind totally
fails to understand, is the fact that it is not that a
more advanced spiritual soul wishes to conceal higher knowledge from others --
but rather, in the same way that kindergarteners are not prepared to study and
comprehend at a university level -- neither are the organic minded earth-bound
people of this world, prepared to understand the higher reality of the soul and
the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God. In the same way that the mind of the
kindergartener must develop and mature, so too must the mind of man begin the
process of expansion beyond organic limits that are supported by the physical
body-vessel. And this is exactly what Paul states when he writes:
"However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature,
yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to
nothing" (1 Cor 2:6 NKJ). The King James Version reads that wisdom
can only be revealed to those who are "perfect"
-- but what must be understood is that each soul can only perceive and
comprehend in accordance with their own level of soul-evolution and spiritual
development.
Of equal importance is the wisdom just following this statement that only the
mature can perceive and comprehend the hidden truths of the Spirit -- hidden,
because the organic mind of the physical body only supports that area of mind
and being that is of the vibration of the earth -- and what is beyond this very
basic level, must be developed by the disciple who walks in TheWay. Thus, Paul
writes: "But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor
ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has
prepared for those who love Him.' But God has revealed them to us through His
Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For
what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we
might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we
also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit
teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does
not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him;
nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is
spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For
'who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?' But we have the
mind of Christ" (1 Cor 2:9-16 NKJ).
When Paul uses the term Christ -- the English translation of the word is the
Anointing (Messiah/Christ) -- and the objective of the teachings of the New
Covenant is embodied in the words: "My little children,
of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you" (Gal
4:19 KJV). If the believer received Christ with baptism, or the
saying of a prayer accepting the Lord as
their savior, then these words could
never have been written by Paul to the
congregation of the Galatians.
Even though the congregation had turned
to Christ, Paul speaks of the process of
birth that must be brought about
"...until
Christ be formed in you".
The dictionary defines the word travail:
"(1) very hard
work; toil (2) labor pains; pains of
childbirth (3) intense pain; agony".
Thus, the birth process that transforms
the believer from a
"babe in
Christ", to a
"mature and
perfect" disciple who has
experienced Christ formed in them,
requires great effort that is not in any
manner represented in modern Christian
Church doctrine.
The arduous objective
of striving to achieve the next stage of
birth, is further presented in the goal that all those
who are of an organic mind and spiritually immature, will over the course of
many lifetimes evolve
"to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ" (Eph 4:13 NKJ). But to understand what Paul is
presenting, it is important to understand one of the surviving quotations of the
Original Matthew known as the Gospel of the Hebrews/Ebionites where St. Jerome
preserved the text at the baptism (quoting Jerome): "But
according to the gospel which the Nazaraeans read, written up in Hebrew speech:
The whole fount of the holy spirit shall descend over him.... Further on in the
gospel of which we made mention above we find these things written: But it
happened that, when the Lord ascended from the water, the whole fount of the
holy spirit descended and rested over him, and said to him: My son, in all the
prophets I was expecting you, that you should come, and I might rest in you. You
indeed are my rest. You are my firstborn son, who reigns in eternity." To
which Jerome correctly explains
"not partially as in the case of other holy men."
While the prophets and holy men of the past had
received the Anointing (Messiah/Christ) that enabled them to understand the
Mysteries of the Kingdom to the degree that they were able to receive the
Anointing, only the historical man Jesus had so fulfilled the Law within himself, and was therefore
able to receive "...the whole fount of the Holy Spirit".
Thus, this original teaching is preserved by the early Church writer Hippolytus
when he stated that Jesus "was justified by fulfilling
the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had
observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the
Law, he would have been the Christ."
And in speaking of this original Ebionite Nazirene position, he writes that
when each disciple "...thus fulfills the law, they are
able to become Christs, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like
sense with all humanity." (Hippolytus,
Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). And it is this spiritually evolved
objective of the teachings of the New Covenant that Paul is making reference to
when he states that each believer is to be matured into
"...a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ"
(Eph 4:13 NKJ).
In the case of the historical man Jesus who totally fulfilled the Law within
himself, he was in
“...supernatural union of a man and God... In their [his
Ebionite Nazirene disciples] eyes, Jesus of Nazareth was a mere mortal, the
legitimate son of Joseph and Mary: but he was the best and wisest of the human
race, selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon earth the worship of the
true and supreme Deity. When he was baptized in the Jordan, the Christ, the
first of the aeons, the Son of God himself, descended on Jesus in the form of a
dove, to inhabit his mind, and direct his actions during the allotted period of
his ministry” (Gibbon; The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, V.4,
P.366) The Son of God is the True
Prophet (see True
Prophet), who was called the Logos among the Greeks, the Teacher of
Righteousness among the Essenes -- and for those who correctly understand the
original teachings on the Trinity, the Logos is the Mind of God.
Do you believe the Bible? Or, do you
believe the doctrines of men? Prior to the fourth century takeover
of the Church by the Emperor Constantine and the most carnal bishops in the
Church, all the early Church writers noted that at the baptism in the Jordan,
the words spoken to Jesus were:
"Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee".
And this is easily documented and proven in the article known as
The Ten Words.
The fact that the modern Church is in denial with respect to what the Gospels
originally stated, is typical of ..... mind. Robert Jastrow, an
astrophysicist who heads NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, pointed out
that the big bang is not exactly an explanation of cause. He is quoted in The
Aquarian Conspiracy: “If a scientist really examines
the implications, he would be traumatized. As usual, when the mind is faced with
trauma, it reacts by ignoring the implications - in science this is called
‘refusing to speculate’". Thus, because the scientist is
traumatized by the facts and realities presented to them, they simply
"refuse to speculate". But
this is not only true with respect to the scientist who is confronted by a
factual reality that he can't deal with the implications of -- but this is just
as true with the modern religious leaders who can't deal with the implications
of The Ten Words.
Why? Because these ten words represent the Achilles Heel of the
manmade doctrines of the Church -- and the spiritual reality they present not
only demonstrates that the Church of Rome was in error -- but that the Ebionite
Nazirene disciples of Jesus who the Church condemned as heretics who were too
Jewish to understand what Jesus taught, were correct all along.
In the same
way that Jesus warned about the
blindness of the carnal Jews to see
beyond the limitations of their
doctrines of belief -- and Paul warned
that the people of a
"natural"
mind will reject the
"mysteries"
of the Gospels as utter "foolishness",
and interesting parallel point is
advanced by Gary Zukav in his book, The
Dancing Wu Li Masters, where he writes
that "A
rational mind, based on the impressions
that it receives from its limited
perspective, forms structures which
thereafter determine what it further
will and will not accept freely. From
that point on, regardless of how the
real world actually operates, this
rational mind, following its
self-imposed rules, tries to superimpose
on the real world its own version of
what must be" (P. 160).
Even though it can be proven that
Darwinism is a fraud -- their patterns
of thought have been fixed and
fossilized -- and the multitude of
scientists are incapable of perceiving
the world outside of their ideological
and philosophical box. In
much the same way, While it can be
proven that the Gospels originally
stated that Jesus became the Anointed
(Messiah/Christ), and the
"adopted"
Son of God at his baptism in the Jordan
-- which is exactly as the original
Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus
believed -- yet, it is impossible for
the multitude of Christians to see
beyond their (pagan) doctrinal box. True
examples of the reality that
"...regardless
of how the real world actually operates,
this rational mind, following its
self-imposed rules, tries to superimpose
on the real world its own version of
what must be."
While it can easily be proven that the
Genesis Account is not historical -- but
rather, presents ultra important
spiritual truths to the minds of those
who possess the eyes to see -- yet, both
the Fundamentalist believer and the
Atheist non-believer ignore are simply
incapable of coming to terms with the
higher reality that the scriptures were
intentionally written so that a
rationally minded person could not in
any manner believe the
literal/historical text.
Thus, the Church Father Origen who was
called the "prince of Christian
learning", second only to the disciples,
writes: “What
man of sense will agree with the
statement that the first, second and
third days in which the evening is named
and the morning, were without sun, moon
and stars, and the first day without a
heaven. What man is found such an idiot
as to suppose that God planted trees in
paradise in Eden, like a husbandman, and
planted therein the tree of life,
perceptible to the eyes and senses,
which gave life to the eater thereof;
and another tree which gave to the eater
thereof a knowledge of good and evil? I
believe that every man must hold these
things for images, under which the
hidden sense lies concealed”
(Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck,
p. 142).
If, as the
Jewish disciples of Jesus who were
historically known as Ebionites,
understood that Jesus was a man who
became the Messiah/Christ at his baptism
in the Jordan by fulfilling the Law
within himself -- which is confirmed by
the original Gospels (see s
The Ten Words) -- then the modern
Christian world has been gravely misled.
And it goes to the core difference
between a philosophical belief in Jesus,
in contradistinction to imitating Jesus
as the Pattern of Salvation for all to
follow in TheWay. And thus,
the words: "And
why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not
the things which I say?"
(Luke 6:46 KJV). And this is
why Jesus warned those who would call
themselves his followers and believers:
“And he who does not take his cross and
follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He
who finds his life will lose it, and he
who loses his life for My sake will find
it”
(Matt 10:38-39 NKJ). The requirement
that has been set forth is that
“ye shall therefore be holy, for I am
holy”
(Lev 11:45 KJV). In the words of Gregory, Bishop of
Nyssa: “…it is
imperative on all those who have an
equally earnest desire for the Good as
He has, to be followers by the path of
an exact imitation of Him Who leads the
way to salvation, and to carry into
action what He has shown them. It is, in
fact impossible for persons to reach the
same goal unless they travel by the same
ways”. And this is why the
requirement was set forth by Jesus with
respect to his disciples and followers:
“You,
therefore, must be perfect, as your
heavenly Father is perfect”
(Matt 5:48 RSV).
The reality portrayed by Jesus in the parable of the lost prodigal sons and daughters
plight in this, the Far Country, is seen in the quotation of Clement of
Alexandria who portrayed the vast majority of people as
"...Atheists who
destroy and pollute, as far as in them lies, the Deity dwelling in them - that
is, the Logos -- by association with their vices”.
Why Atheists? Because if they truly believed, then they would live the Truth
in every aspect of the lives that they live. The Truth is not known by those
who believe from the perspective of the organic mind of what Paul portrays as
the "natural" mind of man which is
earth-bound and blind to the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the
Kingdom of God -- but rather, the Truth can only be known by those who become
the Final Temple -- and
in accordance with each person's success in becoming the
"good ground" in the parable of the
Sower and the Seed. With the ultimate
level of spiritual success in the pattern of Jesus who was able to achieve
Absolute Oneness with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God/True Prophet. And this
is the purpose of living the Consecrated Life in TheWay that Jesus taught.
The living of the necessary Consecrated Life cannot be
discarded! As stated by Jesus himself: "And why call
ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV).
Paul states that we must each come to the "...fullness
of Christ ...that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning
craftiness of deceitful plotting" (Eph 4:14 NKJ). And this can only
be accomplished when each believer lives the Consecrated Life that enables them
to become the
Final Temple -- striving
to purify one's self in accord with the pattern of Jesus as stated in the words:
“Everyone
who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure”
(1 Jn 3:3 NIV) -- becoming the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) that enables the
disciple to be taught by the Indwelling True
Prophet -- as stated by John: "These things I have
written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which
you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach
you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true,
and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him"
(I Jn 2:26-27 NKJ).
The degree that each disciple can know the Truth, is
in accord with the level of Anointing (Messiah/Christ) they are able to receive
-- i.e., "But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor
ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has
prepared for those who love Him.' But God has revealed them to us through His
Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For
what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we
might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we
also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit
teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does
not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him;
nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is
spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For
'who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?' But we have the
mind of Christ" (1 Cor 2:9-16 NKJ). The written word of the
scriptures are made for those who are immature -- i.e., those who Paul portrays
as "babes in Christ". The objective of
the New Covenant teaching is for each person to grow to maturity and receive the
Anointing (Messiah/Christ) -- which connects us to the Indwelling Logos/Son of
God/True Prophet -- i.e., "But God has revealed them
to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep
things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the
man which is in him" -- and this is why Peter is quoted in the
Homilies as stating with respect to the Indwelling True Prophet:
"...For He is within the mind of every one of us, but in
those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is
inoperative; but He works in those who seek after that which is profitable to
their souls, and kindles in them the light of knowledge.
Wherefore
seek Him first of all; and if you do not find Him, expect not that you shall
learn anything from any other. But He is
soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth, and whose
souls are not taken possession of by wickedness. For He is present with those
who desire Him in the innocence of their spirits, who bear patiently, and draw
sighs from the bottom of their hearts through love of the truth; but He deserts
malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the thoughts of every one. And
therefore let no one think that he can find Him by his own wisdom, unless, as we
have said, he empty his mind of all wickedness, and conceive a pure and faithful
desire to know Him. For when any one has so prepared himself, He Himself as a
prophet, seeing a mind prepared for Him, of His own accord offers Himself to his
knowledge” (see
True Prophet ).
Those who love Him, and desire to seek the Truth, are those who live the
Consecrated Life in TheWay.
When Paul stated to the believers in the Churches:
“And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual
men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1) --
what he was stating was that until the believers of the simple faith begin to
live the necessary lifestyle that is portrayed as the
"good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed (see
Sower And The Seed),
that it will remain impossible for them to understand
the true meaning of the Gospel -- and this sacred Knowledge can only be taught
by those who are able to receive Gnosis from the True Prophet/Logos/Son of God
(see True Prophet).
The disciples possessed the eyes to see and understand, because as it is
written:
"Then
opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures"
(Luke 24:45)
-- and this higher enlightened perception and understanding that the mind of
organic man is incapable of understanding, is called Gnosis.
Jesus - The
Black Swan Of The Reformation: In the Protestant Reformation when Calvin and Luther proclaimed
the Epistles of Paul to be the most pure reflection of what Jesus taught, the
great truth they failed to comprehend was the missing spiritual dimension to the
writings and theology of Paul's -- a dimension of mind and being that was beyond their very carnal perception
and understanding.
When rightly understood, the true meaning and essence of the Gospel Truths were very much what would be
classified as a Black Swan Event -- i.e., "The term
black swan (not capitalized) comes from the 17th century European assumption
that 'All swans
must be
white'. In that context, a black swan was something that was impossible and could not
exist. In the 18th Century,
the discovery of black swans in
Western Australia[1]
metamorphosed the term to connote that a perceived
impossibility may actually come to pass" (see
Black Swan).
In the case of the historical man Jesus, his life and how he came to accomplish
what he did was such an inconceivable enigma -- and remains an inconceivable
enigma even to this very day -- that what we have is the Ultimate Black Swan
Event in the chronicles of mankind's existence upon the face of the earth.
The meaning of
the word "esoteric", can portray secret
knowledge that is only revealed to the
few -- but what is not understood is the
fact that "esoteric" knowledge can only
be comprehended by the few -- and those
who are called initiates, more often
than not, are representative of the few
who are capable, and thus have the
capacity, to understand the knowledge
that is being presented.
Once rightfully understood, esoteric
knowledge is neither hidden nor
concealed -- but rather, remains
incomprehensible to the majority of
people because their minds are simply
not prepared to understand what is being
portrayed as secret knowledge.
Ultimately, these is no such thing as
knowledge that is hidden or concealed --
but more factually, few people are
prepared to perceive and understand what
to the few, is a clear as the nose on a
person's face.
Therefore, as popularly used, the words
mystery or esoteric are in fact a
misnomer, or even a canard -- in that,
it is not the knowledge that is hidden
or concealed -- but rather, the people's
inability to perceive and understand.
The profound
Truths that had become manifest and
revealed to the few who were prepared to
receive and comprehend the esoteric knowledge of the
soul and man's true relationship to God,
is representative of the greatest
Black Swan
Event in the existence of
mankind on the face of the earth.
And in the same way that the majority of
Jews were incapable of perceiving the
reality of the moment because of their
organic limitations, so too were the
pagan Gentiles who eventually enlisted
under the banner of Christendom.
The man Jesus was not only an enigma to
the vast majority of Jews, but even more
so the Gentiles or non-Jews. Further, because the framers of the Protestant Reformation had become alienated from the
original objectives of the Gospel by the carnal and pagan doctrines of the
Church of Rome, the faith embraced by Calvin and Luther was one of unquestioned
blind faith in the carnal doctrines of men. In a true
Black Swan
Event, the spiritual meaning
and esoteric teachings which were
strategically imbedded within the
allegory of the Gospel accounts, very
much represented
"...a perceived
impossibility... [that had] actually
come to pass" which was
beyond even their organic scope of
imagination. And, having no
means to even relate to not only what
had actually come to pass -- but the
spiritual reality that had historically
transpired -- and further, had the potential to
transpire and be brought about in the
life of the True Disciple of TheWay in
the present -- was simply beyond organic
man's ability to even envision.
Inconceivable -- inconceivable to both
believer and non-believer critic alike
-- because the mind of organic man in
his natural form is simply not prepared
to comprehend with any real depth not
only the enigma of the man Jesus -- but
also the enigma of man's own soul and
spiritual natures and realities -- all
of which the vast majority of believers
or unbelievers, is as far removed from
the truth as noon is from midnight.
In many
respects, Martin Luther was so
spiritually disenfranchised and ignorant
because of his adherence on the manmade
doctrines of Pagan Rome -- and so motivated by blind faith and
superstition -- that what has come to be
known as Protestantism is founded upon
the utterings of incoherent folly.
Because Martin Luther was in no wise
prepared to come to terms with the
spiritual enigmas raised by the
scriptures, he instituted a religion
based upon blind faith.
While the modern believer ignores
countless biblical statements that God
predetermines all events in the lives of
all men, what the Bible asserts was not
ignored by the framers of the
Reformation. Tnder the heading of
Providence in the Nelson's Illustrated
Bible Dictionary it is explained that:
“Divine
government is the continued activity of
God by which He directs all things to
the ends He has chosen in His eternal
plan… He governs insignificant things
(Matt. 10:29-31), apparent accidents (Prov.
16:33), as well as man's good (Phil.
2:13) and evil deeds (Acts 14:16). God
acts in accordance with the laws and
principles that He has established in
the world. The laws of nature are
nothing more than man's description of
how we perceive God at work in the
world. They neither have inherent power
nor do they work by themselves. Man is
not free to choose and act independently
from God's will and plan; he chooses and
acts in accordance with them. In His
sovereignty, God controls man's choices
and actions (Gen. 45:5; Deut. 8:18; Prov.
21:1). God's actions, however, do not
violate the reality of human choice or
negate man's responsibility as a moral
being” (see
The Great Paradox Of Freewill vs
Predestination).
How can the
biblical assertion that
"...Man is not
free to choose and act independently
from God's will" be justified
within the context that man can
only choose and act in accordance with
God's Will -- and
“in His sovereignty, God controls
man's choices and actions” --
and even begin to answer the question as
to how does this
“not violate the reality of human
choice or negate man's responsibility as
a moral being”?
While there exists an important answer
to these questions, because of the
corruption of the Church doctrine and
the scriptures, it is impossible for the
modern believer to understand the Gospel
with any real depth.
So, it can be said that the faith-based
religion of the Church has in fact been
promoted under a self-imposed Vow Of
Ignorance. And when rational thinkers questioned the often
irrationality and required suspension of reason that Luther championed, he
condemned himself to the embodiment of spiritual ignorance, when he condemned
the very gift of reason that separates man from the brute beasts of the earth --
i.e., “Reason”, writes Luther,
“is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to
the aid of spiritual things, but - more frequently than not - struggles against
the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God”
(Quoted in: The Great Thoughts; compiled by George Seldes).
The result was that the image of God
that the Church painted in what came to
be known as Calvinism (see
The Great Paradox Of Free Will), was
nothing less than horrendous and even diabolical.
And while the modern Church has
attempted to soften what the Bible
states about Predestination, the fact
that the body of believers fail to
understand the Laws that bring about all
events in this world, has immersed the
Church itself in a sea of profound
spiritual ignorance.
There have
always been the few who rejected the
Church's self-imposed Vow Of Ignorance,
and with a dauntless heart sought the
Truth of the Spirit over the doctrines
of men. Yet, in the past,
anyone who knew the Truth -- and even
openly hinted at the Truth -- were
immediately turned upon as a demonic
heretic by the Church -- often burnt at
the stake for heresy.
In the name of their god and gods, those
who spoke the Truth were condemned as a
disease to humanity that needed to be
eradicated before it (they) could infect
the thinking of other people.
And sadly, the
Church has continued down this road of
ignorance even to this very day.
To the mind of the true believer, such
things as facts and rational thought are
simply not part of the equation.
And yet, in their failure to recognize a
Black Swan
Event that was inconceivable
to the organic mind of man who dwells in
the death-state of what Jesus portrayed
as the "outer
darkness" of mind and being,
the Church itself became the embodiment
of what is portrayed in the AntiChrist. And one of the primary problems is seen in the fact that
the spiritual faith of Paul, is not only very different -- but must be
understood from a totally opposite
concept of faith which is espoused by those who are too carnal to comprehend the Source of
Knowledge that remains beyond the reach of men of an untransformed organic
mindset. In contradistinction to the faith of the common
believer, Paul's faith was based upon sure knowledge and spiritual experiences
of incomprehensible Mysteries that would totally confuse the entry-level
believer, who must rely solely upon blind faith in the unknown. And while this fact is easily demonstrated using the
Bible itself, because the readers of the written word are themselves blind to
its true meaning, they simply skip over these crucial warnings as if they do not
exist. The result is that they put their faith in rhetoric and
the doctrines of men -- which doctrines become their own limitation -- and they
never move on to maturity and wholeness, and perfect their faith in the manner
that Paul Commanded.

Genuine Religions Are Spiritual/Gnostic: The word Gnostic is derived from
the Greek word "gnosis", which is the term
used to both delineate and define experiential spiritual knowledge, vs knowledge
derived through human reasoning based upon the natural consciousness of
mankind. The word "gnosis" is defined as
indicating "...direct spiritual experiential knowledge
rather than from rational or reasoned thinking". The objective of
all genuine religions, is to bring about that condition within the mind and life
of the individual where they are able to fulfill the statement in the Gospel of
John, and be "taught by God" -- i.e.,
"It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be
taught by God.' Therefore
everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me" (John 6:45 NKJ). And it was for this reason that Jesus
commanded his disciples not to be called teacher or rabbi -- i.e.,
"But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have One
Teacher, and you are all brethren" (Matt 23:8 RSV) -- and this was
commanded, because there is Only One True Teacher, and that is the True Prophet
(see True Prophet).
And that those lost prodigal sons who look to other men as their teacher, rabbi
or leaders, will be greatly deceived and misguided, is why the disciple Peter in
the Clementine Homilies declared:
“Hence,
O beloved Clement,
if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from
Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows anything,
he has received it from Him or from His disciples”.
The Wisdom and Knowledge that the True Prophet (Son of God/Logos)
imparts to those who are worthy, is called Gnosis. And Gnosis cannot be
written in the words of man -- or even taught by man -- because Gnosis is
defined as Spiritual Knowledge, or the Divine Manna of the Kingdom, that can
only be received directly from the True Prophet to those who are themselves true
spiritual seekers. In the words of the second century Elder Valentinus:
"Gnosis was distinct from the secret
teachings they only revealed to initiates once they had reached a certain level
of progression." And the whole
objective of the teachings of TheWay as revealed by Yeshua/Jesus, was to prepare
the mind of the disciple to receive the revelation of Gnosis -- i.e., the Divine
Manna of the Kingdom -- from the indwelling True Prophet/Logos/Son of God that
is dormant within the minds of carnal believers.
The Source of this Spiritual Knowledge
that is beyond organic human
comprehension, has often been portrayed as the Indwelling Logos/Son of God -- but
few possess the insight to understand
that this access to this higher
knowledge that is beyond carnal man's
comprehension, is always via
one's higher reality of soul.
But since few believers or unbelievers
have ever come to understand the ancient
adage to Know Thyself -- and to Know who
and even what man's true nature
and higher reality is, few ever come to
possess the vision of the True Mystic
and what is portrayed in the word
Gnosis.
While the word knowledge, and the word
Gnosis, both denote a type of knowledge,
the Knowledge portrayed in the word
Gnosis has absolutely nothing to do with
knowledge derived from this world.
Gnosis is beyond organic human reasoning -- it cannot be read in a book --
it cannot be taught by a teacher -- or even written
in the literal text of scriptures.
Therefore, the term Gnostic scriptures
is an oxymoron drawn out of the mouth of
the person who uses the phrase --
because, the objective of all scriptures
are the same -- and all scriptures are
equally Gnostic. And
in this respect, an interesting
statement was made by Dead Sea Scroll
expert Prof. John Allegro in is book,
The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of
Christianity, where he writes:
“It is a fact
that the Qumran Library has profoundly
affected the study of the Johannine
writings and many longheld conceptions
have had to be radically revised. No
longer can John be regarded as the most
Hellenistic of the Evangelists; his
Gnosticism, and the whole framework of
his thought is seen now to spring
directly from a Jewish sectarianism
rooted in Palestinian soil, and his
material recognized as founded in the
earliest layers of Gospel traditions.”
What Prof. Allegro failed to
understand, is the fact that all the
Gospels are equally Gnostic, and their
primary objective is to lead the
disciple down the path of TheWay, and
permit them to gain access to the higher reality of the
soul and spiritual natures, and
ultimately the Inner Kingdom that Jesus
commanded to seek and find.
Quoting Valentinus, the early Christian
who was considered one of the foremost
Gnostics:
"Gnosis was distinct from the secret
teachings they only revealed to
initiates once they had reached a
certain level of progression."
What Valentinus is stating,
is that the spiritual concepts which
have been historically portrayed as the secret teachings
associated with many Gnostic groups was
not at all what is defined to be Gnosis -- but rather,
AT BEST, these
secret teachings were the esoteric knowledge of
the cosmology of one's own mind -- how
the disciple must
live -- and the foundational truths that
must be built upon, that are necessary
to bring about the expansion of mind and
consciousness that enables the disciple
to begin the process of acquiring True Gnosis --
i.e., a Spiritual
Knowledge that cannot be comprehended by
the untransformed organic mind of man.
That those who portrayed themselves as
Orthodox, were totally
incapable of understanding the nature
and reality of this higher knowledge
which they ignorantly condemned as
heresy -- remains totally true
to this very day. No person
who understands the higher reality of
Gnosis, would condemn Gnosis -- and what
they would condemn, is the manmade
carnal understanding of Gnosis.
Historically, it has often been pointed
out that the Gnostics rarely ever
defended themselves against the
onslaught of doctrinal attack waged by
those who portrayed themselves to be
Orthodox -- and unless one comes to
understand why those known as Gnostics
rarely ever attempted to defend
themselves, then man's own higher
reality will remain forever elusive and
beyond comprehension.
To even begin to comprehend the higher
reality of the soul and what is called
the Kingdom of God, requires the
development of man's higher facilities
of mind. In truth, you would
have greater success at teaching
kindergarten children advanced calculus,
than you would attempting to teach
organic man about his own higher natures
and reality of mind and being.
And this is not an elitist statement --
but rather, one based upon the fact that
it is impossible to receive and
comprehend True Gnosis, unless the
higher areas of mind are developed.
What this means is that in the same
way that it is impossible to convey to
the believers of the simple faith this
higher knowledge that is dependent upon
the development of man's higher
facilities of mind to comprehend, the
same is true of the intellectuals who
reject the scriptures as myth and a
hoax. In the same way that
you can't use a kitchen spoon to dig a
foundation, and then use this spoon to
mix and lay the proper foundation in a
great house,
neither can the organic mind of man even
begin to comprehend man's own higher
soul and spiritual reality.

The Books
With The Power To Deceive
- Allegorical Scriptures For An
Allegorical World:
Paul portrayed the written text of the
scriptures as the
"letter that
killeth"
(2 Cor 3:6). And
referred to them as
"Jewish fables"
(Titus 1:14). To the
Galatians who were attempting to embrace
the Jewish outward ritual observances of the Torah, Paul
states:
“Tell me, ye that desire to be under
the law, do ye not hear the law?”
And then Paul goes on to explain to
those who want to attempt to read the
written word literally in an historical
context as Christians do today:
“For it is written, that Abraham had
two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the
other by a freewoman. But he who was of
the bondwoman was born after the flesh;
but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Which things are an allegory”
(Gal 4:21-24 KJV). What this
means is that what in appearance is portrayed
historically in the scriptures, was not
history at all -- but rather, was an
allegorical account that both preserved
and concealed important spiritual truths
which are not discernable and evident
when reading the text of the written
word.
In the
account of the Clementine Homilies,
Peter warns his disciple Clement that
Simon Magus has the ability to greatly
deceive the Gentiles, because they fail
to understand the vision of the authors
in the composition of the scriptures --
and the traditions that the authors used
to compose the scriptures (see
An
Inconvenient Truth) --
and in
not understanding this original vision
and objectives of the authors, they will easily be
seduced by Simon Magus because they hold
what Peter portrays as bad and erroneous beliefs about God.
Thus, Peter warns that while the
spiritual Jews will understand the
deeper meaning -- both the carnal Jews
and the Gentiles will be greatly
deceived and states:
“And with us,
indeed, who have had handed down from
our forefathers the worship of the God
who made all things, and
also the mystery
of the books which are able to deceive,
he will not
prevail; but with those from amongst the
Gentiles who have the polytheistic fancy
bred in them,
and who know not
the falsehoods of the Scriptures,
he will prevail
much. And not only he;
but if any other
shall recount to those from among the
Gentiles
any vain, dreamlike, richly set out
story against God, he will be believed,
because from their childhood their minds
are accustomed to take in things spoken
against God. And few there shall be of
them, as a few out of a multitude, who
through ingenuousness shall not be
willing so much as to hear an evil word
against the God who made all things.
And to these alone
from amongst the Gentiles it shall be
vouchsafed to be saved.
Let not any one of
you, therefore, altogether complain of
Simon, or of any one else; for nothing
happens unjustly, since even the
falsehoods of Scripture are with good
reason presented for a test.”
That the
carnal Jews could not see beyond the
symbols of the allegory, and their eyes
and hearts were hardened so they could
not comprehend the true meaning of the
scriptures, is readily understood where
Paul states that
“their minds were blinded”
by the Laws of God,
“for until this day remaineth the
same vail untaken away in the reading of
the old testament… even unto this day,
when Moses is read, the vail is upon
their heart”
(2 Cor 3:14-15 KJV).
The 2nd century Church Father Clement of
Alexandria in his Stromata explained:
“...now that
the Savior has taught the Apostles, the
unwritten rendering of the written, this
has been handed down also to us”.
What Clement is stating is that it was
Jesus who taught his disciples the inner
spiritual meaning of the scriptures by opening
their minds so their understanding could
pierce through the garb of the
allegorical enigmas that blind the
perception of carnal men -- i.e.,
"Then he opened
their minds so they could understand the
Scriptures" (Luke 24:45 NIV).
Yet, while the Gentiles will see a very
different message than the carnal Jews,
both will be equally deceived and turned
out of TheWay.
In the
Homilies of his disciple Clement, the
Apostle Peter portrays the scriptures as
the "...books with
the power to deceive" those
who fail to understand both the
traditions, and the nature of these
writings, from the perception of the
original objectives which the scriptures
were supposed to bring about.
Further, it was stated by Peter in
the Homilies of his disciple Clement
that each person (who does not apply the
Key of Knowledge) only sees in the
scriptures, what they are predisposed to
see and believe -- i.e.,
“Therefore Simon,
who is going to discuss in public with
us tomorrow, is bold against the
monarchy of God, wishing to produce many
statements from these Scriptures, to the
effect that there are many gods, and a
certain one who is not He who made this
world, but who is superior to Him; and,
at the same time, he is going to offer
many scriptural proofs. But we also can
easily show many passages from them that
He who made the world alone is God, and
that there is none other besides Him.
But if any one shall wish to speak
otherwise, he also shall be able to
produce proofs from them at his
pleasure.
For the Scriptures say all manner of
things, that no one of those who inquire
ungratefully may find the truth, but
simply what he wishes to find...”.
What this means is that the scriptures
are so designed to bring about that
condition where each and every person is
able to see and confirm their doctrines
of belief which they are predisposed to
look for in the written text.
And more important is the statement that
those who attempt to read the scriptures
from a differing mindset and objectives
than the intended purpose of the
original authors, will remain blind to
"...the truth,
but simply [see] what he wishes to
find...” in the scriptures.
Contrary to what is convenient to
believe, the true meaning of the
scriptures can only be found when it is in accord with the
original vision
and perception of its author -- and not
what others choose to believe.
Jesus warned the carnal Jews that they
did not understand the true meaning of
the scriptures, because they attempted
to perceive them through the filter of
their manmade beliefs, doctrines and
traditions. And
in like manner, the true meaning of the
Gospels, is that which was envisioned by
its Ebionite Nazirene authors.
And the modern Church continues to
remain spiritually bankrupt, because
they condemned and rejected the
objectives and vision of the original
authors, while attempting to read the
scriptures through the filter of the
doctrines of Pagan Rome (see
An Inconvenient Truth).
In the above subheading on
The Mystery Of The
Gospel, it is demonstrated
that Paul taught to seek Spiritual
Knowledge from the Source -- which
Knowledge is called Gnosis.
More importantly is the fact that Paul
openly warned the people that this
Spiritual Knowledge is beyond the
comprehension of organic ("natural") man -- even
when the believer is a committed and baptized
Christian who Paul portrays as having received the gifts of
the spirit by the laying on of hands by
the Apostle himself. If
those who Paul himself taught what he
called the "testimony" of Christ, were
incapable of comprehending the true
spiritual meaning of the Gospel which he
called the Mystery,
then an insightful and intelligent
reader would conclude that there is far
more to the Gospel account than what can
be understood by the congregation of
believers.
It is
also demonstrated that the scriptures
are written in a code that conceals the
true meaning -- to the degree that
Jesus had to open the minds of the
disciples for them to perceive the
meaning that other (organic) men were
blind to -- i.e.,
"Then
opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures"
(Luke 24:45). And what is
presented to us in the enigma of the
allegorical scriptures that are written
in a secret code, is the reason why
Peter portrayed the scriptures
as the "books with
the power to deceive"
-- and why Peter warned that
"...even the
falsehoods of Scripture are with good
reason presented for a test.”
(see Power
To Deceive ).
What, then, is the test that Peter is
making reference to? Peter explains that in the case of most
people, all that they see and think they
understand, is basically what they
already believe -- and that the
scriptures are written in such a way,
that virtually anyone can
confirm their previously held beliefs in
the written words of the scriptures.
Why? Because, few men
who do not Know Thyself -- and remain
ignorant about their own higher soul and
spiritual reality that is beyond man's
organic comprehension -- are capable of
perceiving the true meaning of the
scriptures that remains safeguarded
beneath the allegory of the written
words.
Why is the
esoteric knowledge concealed in this
manner? To both preserve it
for those who can put it to use, and
safeguard it from those who would
destroy it (see
An Inconvenient Truth).
Science - Religion - And The Etheric
Field/Mind:
Einstein made one of the most important
observations that modern intellectuals
neither understand, nor can they in any
manner even begin to come to terms with
-- largely because of their politically
correct cultural philosophy and their
ignorance of the Laws.
Einstein stated:
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift
and the rational mind is a faithful
servant. We have created a society that
honors the servant and has forgotten the
gift." When
properly and factually understood, there
is absolutely no difference between the
findings of the enlightened scientist,
the Apostle Paul who instructed the
Gentile Christians, and the enlightened
Mystic who authored the scriptures --
except, perhaps, the key word
enlightened. But herein
lies the crux of the problem -- i.e.,
the very word enlightened raises the
crucial question as to how one even
becomes enlightened? Does one go to a
traditional school environment that
suppresses what Einstein portrays as the
forgotten intuitive gift -- while
programming the rational servant with
what often amounts to little more than
cultural and politically correct
propaganda? In his own words
he acknowledged that
“The only thing
that interferes with my learning is my
education.”
In fact, what Einstein portrays as the
rational servant does not even possess
the necessary insight to understand both
the reality of the intuitive gift, or
the Great Source of Knowledge that the
undeveloped intuitive resources of the
mind of man has the innate potential of
tapping into -- which prompted Einstein
to acknowledge that
“We can't solve
problems by using the same kind of
thinking we used when we created them.”
With great wisdom and vision Einstein
stated
"Only those
who can see the invisible can do the
impossible." But
since the vast majority of modern
scientists reject even the existence of
the invisible, it is the scientific
community that has rendered itself
impotent with respect to any real depth
of perception and understanding. Paul
conveyed the exact same message to the
congregation of believers that Einstein
stated in the words: "While
we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not
seen: for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18
KJV).
And when this reality is understood for
what it truly is, only then is the words
of the recently discovered
Gospel of Thomas comprehended where
it is written:
(5) Jesus said,
"Recognize what is in your sight, and
that which is hidden from you will
become plain to you ..."
And while only a handful of people
have evolved their intuitive centers of
mind sufficiently enough to perceive and
understand from the higher reality of an
enlightened mind, this potential of man
that is portrayed as a gift, is indeed
the long ignored wisdom expressed by
both Einstein, the Apostle Paul, and the
biblical authors.
Both of
these statements which are ignored by
the vast majority of scientists and
their religious counterparts, ignore the
underlying reality that not only does
the unseen dimension of what we see
exist, but that it is within the scope
of man's innate abilities to develop
this facility of mind that enables the
individual to perceive an unseen reality
that is beyond the limits of man's
undeveloped physical organic senses.
And with respect to the invisible, when
it is understood that what is being made
reference to is a blindness that
encompasses all of mankind in a
condition that Jesus portrayed as the
"outer darkness" of
mind and being (see
Outer Darkness) -- which is parallel
to the analogy of the illusions of
Plato's Cave that has entrapped
mankind in a world that he does not
understand the nature and reality of,
then the reality of these words spoken
by both the scientist and the mystic
becomes an obstacle that is imperative
to overcome and prevail over its
limitations.
The vast difference between what would
be called the
knowledge of man, and the higher
spiritual reality portrayed in the
Knowledge that is defined as Gnosis, has begun
to be demonstrated by the modern
scientific community.
Quoting physicist Walter Thirring
in his book,
Urbausteine der Materie where he
wrote about matter that
modern physics
“...has
put our thinking about the essence of
matter in a different context. It has
taken our gaze from the visible - the
particles - to the underlying entity,
the field. The presence of matter is
merely a disturbance of the perfect
state of the field at that place;
something accidental, one could almost
say, a ‘blemish’. Accordingly, there
are no simple laws describing the forces
between elementary particles… Order and
symmetry must be sought in the
underlying field.”
One of the primary realities that
science has to come to terms with in
order to advance beyond their present
level, is the fact that physical matter
is the result of the forces in the
Etheric Field coming together, causing
what Walter Thirring above describes as a
"blemish" that
we observe with our organic physical
senses. And what this is, is Darwinism
in reverse -- i.e., modern science has
proven that the Field which is unseen
and surrounds all matter, is the
Source which impresses the aspect of
mind and consciousness which is
represented in the form of
matter that we observe. The problem is
that to the organic mind of both the
faith-based believer, as well as the
Atheist, what modern science has proven
is simply beyond their ability to even
contemplate.
What man
calls knowledge, is the wisdom and
understanding gained through his study
of what Walter Thirring called the
"blemish"
-- i.e., the illusion of what we
perceive as physical matter.
Yet, without understanding the
underlying forces in the Field that
formed the blemish that organic man
observes as concrete physical matter, it
can be stated that what we observe in
the physical world is so incomplete,
that it would be virtually impossible to
truly understand what we think and
imagine we see. Reality, states the physicist, can only
be found in the (Etheric) Field -- and
it is the Field that both surrounds all
physical forms that we observe with our
body-senses, and it is the unseen Field
that is the source of
what we perceive with our physical
senses which we call matter.
Which again, is reverse Darwinism -- in
that, Darwinism attempted to demonstrate
that this physical world came into being
apart from any unseen supernatural
forces -- and modern science has now
proven that this world is the direct
result of unseen forces that would be
defined as supernatural, or beyond what
is seen with the physical senses.
In defense of Darwin, it must be
understood that in the same way that
many unsolved crimes in the past are
presently resolved through DNA, Darwin
lived in the nineteenth century -- long
before the most enlightening discoveries
of modern quantum physics.
And in recognition of this fact, Darwin
himself questioned the inadequacy of his
own conclusions. In the words of Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of
Natural History:
“The old explanation that the fossil
record was inadequate is in itself an
inadequate explanation.”
Why? The fossil record is
inadequate because everything that we
see and perceive in this realm is
directly caused by patterns of force
being exerted upon matter from beyond
the bounds of this three-dimensional
world in which we presently dwell.
And the fact that the fossil record
failed to support Darwin's conclusions,
is openly acknowledged in his own words
where he wrote:
"Why then is not every geological
formation and every stratum full of such
intermediate links? Geology assuredly
does not reveal any such finely
graduated organic chain, and this,
perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest
objection which can be urged against my
theory" (Charles Darwin, On
The Origin Of Species). According to
Darwin's theory, the geological record
should be full of species that are
slowly increasing in complexity over
time. Since evolution relies on time,
chance, and incremental steps, sudden
leaps are not possible -- which
demonstrates that the fossil record
itself directly contradicts the theory
of evolution! And even if a
proverbial missing link could be found,
this would not in any manner negate the
fact that it is the forces in the
Etheric Field that has brought about all
changes and variations of life-forms
that we observe in the physical world.
Einstein experienced shock when he first
came into contact with the new reality
of atomic physics, and wrote in his
autobiography:
“All my attempts to adapt the
theoretical foundation of physics to
this [new type of] knowledge failed
completely. It was as if the ground had
been pulled out from under one, with no
firm foundation to be seen anywhere,
upon which one could have built”.
In much the same fashion, the European
physicist Niels Bohr stated that
“…The great
extension of our experience in recent
years has brought to light the
insufficiency of our simple mechanical
conceptions and, as a consequence, has
shaken the foundation on which the
customary interpretation of observation
was based.” These
“…mechanical
conceptions” make reference
to Darwin and the theory of evolution.
In the same
way that Peter warned that organic man
only sees in the scriptures what he is
predisposed to already believe, it is
also true that man
perceives all of Creation through the filter
of
his beliefs about life. The
believer is in no manner dependent upon
facts, and no amount of facts can deter
the unbeliever -- i.e., most of mankind
is totally predisposed to see only what
they already believe to be true. And
while many will
become both offended and simply dismiss
the statement of the Apostle Peter in
the Homilies that men see and understand
only what they are programmed to
perceive by virtue of the filter of
their beliefs -- or, the Organic Laws of
the earth that predisposes them to a
specific preordained opinion -- the text
of Itzhak Bentov’s book itself reveals
that: “The
quantum theory asserts that there is no
way one can measure some sets of things,
like momentum and position, together
very accurately... because the
consciousness of the experimenter
interacts with the experiment itself.
Therefore, it becomes possible that the
attitude of the experimenter must also
influence the outcome of any particular
experiment” (Preface to
Stalking The Wild Pendulum, by Itzhak
Bentov).
Thus, we begin to contemplate the
interrelatedness of mind and matter and
the fact that our whole politically
correct culture has become an obstacle
to the advancement of mankind. And
since the vast majority of religious
doctrines of belief are merely what was
deemed politically correct in past
cultures, few people are even capable of
seeing beyond the limits of the facade
of their predisposed beliefs. In
the very narrow linear perception of the
“fossilized”
world-view that is taught in science
class in our schools today, the idea
that the mind of the experimenter can
impact the results of the experiment
itself, is simply beyond the scope of
man's cultural understanding.
If, as
presupposed by the science of man's
past, everything man sees is a detached,
stand-alone, separate inanimate object,
then genuinely intelligent men must
recognize that in his present cultural
world view, there is a great void in
their understanding that inhibits them
from even contemplating how the mind of
a person can affect the outcome of a
given experiment? And thus,
what the Apostle Peter warns with
respect to his statement that each
person who reads the scriptures only
sees what he he predisposed to see,
modern quantum mechanics has gone beyond
this fact, and proven that the mindset
and thinking of a scientific
investigator, can somehow impact his
findings and results.
Not only does this throw all of man's
analytical conclusions into question,
but it must be realized that even the
findings of Darwin was subject to the
filter of his Unitarian mindset and
beliefs. Moreover, this
resolves the dilemma of why different
men see and understand the same thing
not only differently, but often from an
opposite and conflicting perspective.
Which one is wrong? What if
each is seeing a fragmentary truth --
and while neither is all wrong, there is
still a greater reality that is beyond
the comprehension of both conflicting
viewpoints.
That there
is an unseen connection between mind and
matter, and man is able to consciously
and unconsciously effect what we
perceive as inanimate objects with his
own patterns of thought, means that our
present-day cultural and
quasi-scientific perception of Creation
itself is defective. Moreover,
when we attempt to interpret the
scriptures through the filter of our
flawed vision and predisposed inherent
understanding, it is impossible for us
to even begin to perceive the true depth
and revelation of the Word of God!
The problem is that we can never start
to embrace man’s true reality, until we
begin to acknowledge and recognize that
what we see is only a fragment of the
whole picture of any given object -- and
this is true not only from a religious
doctrinal perspective, but a scientific
one as well.
Robert Jastrow, an astrophysicist who
heads NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space
Studies, pointed out that the big bang
is not exactly an explanation of cause.
He is quoted in The Aquarian Conspiracy:
“If a scientist
really examines the implications, he
would be traumatized. As usual, when the
mind is faced with trauma, it reacts by
ignoring the implications - in science
this is called ‘refusing to speculate’ -
or by trivializing the origin of the
world by calling it the Big Bang, as if
the universe were merely a firecracker”.
Mr. Jastrow then continues and states:
“Consider the
enormousness of the problem: Science has
proved that the universe exploded into
being at a certain moment. It asks, what
cause produced this effect? Who or what
put the matter and energy into the
universe? Was the universe created out
of nothing or was it gathered together
out of pre-existing materials? And
science cannot answer these questions...
It is not a matter of another year,
another decade of work, another
measurement, or another theory. At this
moment it seems as though science will
never be able to raise the curtain on
the mystery of creation”.
In the
realization that traditional scientific
inquiry can never provide the answers to
life, thoughtful physicists in greater
number have begun to notice the curious
parallels between their own findings and
ancient mystical descriptions of reality
-- mystical descriptions that have been
totally dismissed by our modern culture.
These similarities were pointed out in
the book, The Tao Of Physics, by Fritjof
Capra, and The Dancing Wu Li Masters by
Gary Zukav. Zukav’s book takes its title
from the Chinese expression for physics, wu li, which he translates as
“patterns of
organic energy”, and writes:
“Bell’s theorem
not only suggests that the world is
quite different than it seems, it
demands it. Something very exciting is
happening. Physicists have ‘proved’
rationally that our rational ideas about
the world in which we live are
profoundly deficient”.
Bell’s
theorem, which was proposed in 1964 by
J.S. Bell, a physicist working in
Switzerland, was first confirmed
experimentally in 1972. Physicist
Henry Stapp, in a 1975 federal report
called it the most
“profound discovery of science”.
Bell’s theorem succeeds in exhibiting
the bizarre nature of the subatomic
world. Experiments show that if
paired particles which are identical
twins in their polarity fly apart, and
the polarity of one is changed by an
experimenter, the polarity of the other
particle changes instantaneously.
Thus, even though from a physical
perspective the two particles appear to
us as separate, it has been proven that
the particles remain mysteriously
connected regardless of the fact that
there is no physical connection.
The
esoteric reality that was proven and
demonstrated in this experiment was
portrayed as the most
“profound discovery of science”,
because it virtually proves everything
that science presents in the classrooms
throughout our educational systems today
as being in profound error!
Moreover -- and perhaps even more
important -- is the fact that because we
culturally build the child's thinking
and mindset upon a fraudulent
foundation, we inhibit their evolving
minds from moving beyond a very
counterfeit point in their perception of
both themselves, and the world in which
they presently dwell.
Further, the only
explanation that the flat-earth
scientists who remain in denial of the
implications refuse to acknowledge, is
that the particles are connected in
another non-physical dimension that is
beyond man's organic vision to detect --
i.e., what in the above is portrayed as the
Field. In the words of
Einstein: “We
may therefore regard matter as being
constituted by the regions of space in
which the field is extremely intense…
There is no place in this new kind of
physics both for the field and matter,
for the field is the only reality”
(quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical
Impact of Contemporary Physics).
What this confirms is that reality is in
the Field that is beyond the organic
vision and senses of man -- and the
physical world we perceive and interact
with, is not only a result of this
higher reality that we can't see with
our physical eyes, but in
many instances is an illusion that is
controlled by our predisposed beliefs
and philosophical opinions.
Moreover, what this further confirms is
that the Darwinist mindset that is
presently taught in our schools is not
only gravely wrong, but the error which our
educational systems is programming young
school children with, represents a vision and
thought pattern that will inhibit them
from understanding man's own higher
reality that is manifest in the Field --
or the Etheric realms that the organic
senses of the body cannot normally
detect. And herein
lies the crux of the problem as seen in
the example of our educational systems
which will promote grave error -- as
seen in the fact that they present a
totally false picture of both
themselves, and the world -- totally
failing to convey to the students that
it has already been proven that the mind of man in it’s
natural organic state is simply
incapable of perceiving the far-reaching
ramifications of man's higher reality of
mind that is centered in the Etheric
Field -- and
even less prepared to comprehend the
results of the intertwining connections
that are maintained not only between
individuals and groups of people, but
between the past, the present, and
future. What is portrayed in
the above is merely science beginning to
crack open the door to man's own higher
reality -- a reality that he can only
begin to grasp, by discarding almost
everything that he presently thinks he
knows.
The
Cruel Hoax: While it has been proven
that the source of matter is in the
Etheric Field beyond our organic vision
-- and that in the subatomic world, what
appears to our senses is connected in a
dimension that we can't see with our
organic vision -- the fact that we
continue to program and imbue our school
children with this gravely flawed
mindset that modern quantum physics has proven to be little
more than junk science -- means that we
are predetermining the child's failure
to make any real progress in this life.
And that our modern culture is
predetermining the failure of the child,
is the reason why in many of my writings
I portray this process which we call
education, as the (spiritual) abortion
of those children who escape the
abortionist who tears the fetus from
it's mother's womb.

The
Allusion Of The Forms Of Matter:
In his 1951
textbook on quantum theory, Bohm offered
some interesting speculations on the
analogies between quantum processes and
thought processes, thus carrying further
the celebrated statement made by the
astronomer James Jeans two decades
earlier:
“Today there is a
wide measure of agreement… that the
stream of knowledge is heading towards a
non-mechanical reality; the universe
begins to look more like a great thought
than like a great machine”;
and the statement by astronomer Arthur
Eddington:
“The stuff of the
universe is mind-stuff”.
Max Planck who
is considered the founder of quantum
theory stated:
"As a man who has devoted his whole life
to the most clear headed science, to the
study of matter, I can tell you as a
result of my research about atoms this
much: There is no matter as such. All
matter originates and exists only by
virtue of a force which brings the
particle of an atom to vibration and
holds this most minute solar system of
the atom together. We must assume behind
this force the existence of a conscious
and intelligent mind. This mind is the
matrix of all matter."
More recently, cyberneticist David
Foster described
“an intelligent
universe”
whose apparent
concreteness is generated by cosmic data
from an unknowable, organized source.
The reality of the holographic theory says that:
“…our
brains mathematically construct hard
reality by interpreting frequencies from
a dimension transcending time and
space. The brain is a hologram,
interpreting a holographic universe.”
If you
understand what is being said, then you
can begin to understand why
Mystics who have walked the spiritual
path in search of Gnosis and the Divine
Manna of the Kingdom of God, have traditionally
warned others that what they see with
their physical eyes -- i.e., the objects
that appear to their organic senses and mind as
being concrete and solid matter -- is
merely an illusion.
And if we ask the question, what does
this mean? What we are
confronted with is a reality that few
biblical skeptics are even prepared to
embrace -- i.e., that the allegorical
nature of the scriptures is merely an
extension of man's own consciousness,
mind and being. In the
above reply to the Atheist, The
God Who Wasn't There, I demonstrate
that the most enlightened
religious/spiritual authorities all
portray the literal text of the written
word of the scriptures as an allegory
which conceals esoteric truths that are
beyond the understanding of
untransformed organic man -- to the
degree that the man who is known as the
Apostle Paul portrayed the literal text
of the scriptures as the
"letter that
killeth" (see
Letter). But what
both blind believer and critic alike fail to
recognize, is the esoteric reality that the
scriptures are in fact a written
allegory that is necessary to prepare
the seeker/disciple to begin to grasp
the greater allegory of the outer world
-- a world that in the analogy of
Plato's Cave, is portrayed as a
world of illusion that must be escaped!
And thus, the reality of what is
portrayed in the words of the Gospel of
Thomas: Jesus
said, "Recognize what is in your sight,
and that which is hidden from you will
become plain to you . For there is
nothing hidden which will not become
manifest." That
few recognize what is in their sight --
and remain totally ignorant of the fact
that they live in an allegorical world
-- is the reason why they are portrayed
as the walking dead (The
Dead Know Nothing). But
the fact that religious people -- i.e.,
Jews, Christians and Muslims -- permit
their children to be programmed by the
dead, is truly sinful.
^
The
Demiurge - Allegory?
Myth? What is Reality? What this
means is that the authors of the
scriptures did not randomly decide to
compose their scriptures in allegorical
forms -- i.e., they did not get together
and randomly create symbols in order to
conceal their spiritual wisdom from the
masses. But rather, they employed a
parallel allegorical format in the
creation of their scriptures, that is
also employed in the forms in the outer
world of matter. Which means
that as the disciple begins to make
progress -- and begins to perceive and
comprehend the inner meaning of the
scriptures by looking beyond the
allegorical cloak of the written text --
he is then able to utilize this same
knowledge to crack the allegorical code
of the forms in the outer world of
illusion -- or more accurately, the
world of allusion within which mankind
dwells in this, the Far Country.
Again,
in understanding what is portrayed in
the alchemical picture at the right
which is The Escape: If the objective is to escape what Jesus
portrayed as the
"outer darkness" of mind
and being (see
Outer Darkness), then why would the
biblical authors portray what is
perceived in the illusion of this world as being real?
Either from an historical or literal
perspective? When it
is recognized that what we perceive is
thought-symbols impressed into the the
forms of Nature as presented by the
modern physicist in the above subheading
The Allusion Of The
Forms Of Matter -- and that our
brain and physical mind which perceives
a holographic universe by constructing
these symbols universally, out of
frequencies of thought -- then we must
begin to perceive both the scriptures,
and the outer world, from an entirely
different perspective.
When
it is recognized that the objects we
observe in the outer world with our
physical senses, are in fact aspects of
mind impressed into the forms and
symbols of nature -- and we are dealing
entirely with aspects of mind -- why
would we even imagine that modern man
who has based his assumptions and
predisposed thinking of counterfeit
doctrines of religious beliefs and
fraudulent scientific theories, would be
more inclined to perceive truth, than
the wise men of the past who were
enlightened as to the esoteric nature of
man, mind and the universe in which we
presently dwell? While
we imagine ourselves as more advanced
and enlightened than the mystic
visionaries and wise men in the past
-- we do this to our own folly. Do we
need modern technology to explore
aspects of Mind? And especially our
own that we see reflected back to us
from the outer world? When
this fact is recognized, one would have
to conclude that our modern culture
which is built upon erroneous
assumptions, is actually a great
hindrance to finding the higher truths
of man's reality.
While the
modern biblical and religious critic can
point out the countless flaws in the
literal text of the scriptures and the
mainstream of religious doctrine -- they
are generally incapable of comprehending
the well documented assertion that what
they proclaim to be
flaws in the literal text, were purposely
inserted in the scriptures in order to
inhibit a person of greater intellect from reading them
literally/historically.
To ignore the warning of the Church
Father Origen when he portrayed those who were so
gullible to believe the literal text of
the scriptures as
"idiots"
(see The Mystery Of
The Gospels) -- or that of the
Church Historian Eusebius when he stated that those who
read the Gospels literally, and failed
to seek out the language of the soul
were men of
"...of very small intelligence".
And to critique the scriptures
without first understanding why the
visionaries of the past composed their
sacred writings in this manner (see
An Inconvenient Truth) -- gives
new meaning to the term intellectual bankruptcy. Which means that the
modern critics who put
themselves forth as intellectually
superior, are pseudo-authorities who are
little more than intellectual idiots!
In the
February 1979 Psychology Today interview
with brain scientist Karl Pribram, the
world which he attempted to describe
confirmed the vision witnessed by the
Hebrew mystics and prophets who authored
the scriptures -- and when
properly understood, confirmed the
reality of the Bible that neither true
believer nor staunch critic is even
prepared to acknowledge and understand --
i.e., Pribram wrote:
“It isn’t that
the world of appearances is wrong; it
isn’t that there aren’t objects out
there, at one level of reality. It’s
that if you penetrate through and look
at the universe with a holographic
system, you arrive at a different
reality, one that can explain things
that have hitherto remained
scientifically inexplicable: paranormal
phenomena… synchronicities, the
apparently meaningful coincidence of
events” (see
Illusion
). And thus, it is
this world of illusion that is created
by the limitations of each person's own
mind that is portrayed by the Gnostics
as the Demiurge of a counterfeit
creator. This world of illusions is
in fact what Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being.
And it is this same world of illusion that man
must escape in the analogy
of
Plato's Cave .
The Demiurge, therefore, is the
illusions of each person's own mind and
thinking that has created the world in
which they presently live.
Man's
Ultimate Reality that most are incapable
of coming to terms with, is the higher
factual reality that there is
nothing but Mind -- and this and all
other dimensions of Reality is a Great
Thought that man is experientially
evolving within. And what this
confirms is the fact that the objects in
the outer world that we observe with our
physical senses, are in reality
allegorical symbols of mind impressed
into the forms of matter by the forces
in the underlying Etheric Field -- and
the forms that we observe, represents a
psychic/mental impression of the thought
form of mind that it denotes to our own,
and the Universal Consciousness. And
once this higher reality is properly understood, is the very
reason why it would appear to the
unenlightened mind of the Atheist and
critic, that one religion borrows
the mythological symbolism from another
-- when in fact, nothing could be
further from the truth.
Moreover, this is why, while Eastern mysticism
portrays the forms of concrete matter
that we observe in the outer world as an illusion, Western
Gnosticism understands that the illusion
is more factually, an allusion -- an
allusion because each and every aspect
of what we observe, possess a meaning
that is being pictorially and
allegorically presented to our mind.
Thus, in the Gospel of Thomas Jesus
declares: Jesus said,
"Recognize what
is in your sight, and that which is
hidden from you will become plain to
you". While all
things are plain to the few who possess
the eyes to see, those who continue to
dwell under the limitations and
illusions of their beliefs, are those
who dwell under the power of what the
Spiritual (Gnostic) Christians portrayed
as a Demiurge
of their own making.
Because the carnal Jews had thrown away
what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge
-- and they saw only the literal text of
the scriptures which Paul portrayed as
the "letter
that killeth" which were
little more than
"Jewish fables" (see
The Books With
The Power to Deceive) -- it was said
that they dwelt under the power of a
Demiurge -- one of their own making that
totally controlled their vision of the
world.
What is the
difference between an illusion and an
allusion? When
properly understood, they are in fact
worlds apart. While an
illusion could be virtually anything --
i.e., like a hallucination that a dying
man sees in the form of a mirage in the
middle of the desert -- an
allusion is a symbolic representation of
a reality that we may or may not
recognize what is being portrayed.
That the organic mind of man only sees
the outward form that has been imbedded
in nature as a symbol of what that form
indicates, is the illusions of what
Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness", and what Plato
portrayed as the Cave of illusions.
Only as your higher aspects of mind
develop, do you begin to see the meaning
of the allegorical symbols of this world
-- i.e.,
"Recognize what
is in your sight, and that which is
hidden from you will become plain to
you".
If all that we
see in the outer world is the result of
the forces exerted in the underlying Field --
i.e., the words of Einstein that
“We may
therefore regard matter as being
constituted by the regions of space in
which the field is extremely intense…
There is no place in this new kind of
physics both for the field and matter,
for the field is the only reality”
-- the form that is impressed into the
shape that we see, is an allegorical
representation of the aspect of mind
that the symbol expresses.
In the same way that a phallic symbol
which was used by the ancients expresses
the male generative power, the penis
itself expresses an aspect of mind that
is universal. And this is
true not only of all the parts of the
body, but also everything that exists in
the outer world -- which is merely a
larger scale and pattern of mind
expressed and impressed into matter --
i.e., mental-imagery.
Which
means that a dog, appears to us in that
physical form that we see and interact
with as a K9, because of the
underlying aspect of mind and
consciousness that is represented in the
physical form of a dog. A dog,
therefore, is
an aspect of mind impressed into the
form of nature which we observe. When Jesus
warned not to give what is holy to dogs,
what he was presenting was the reality
that a dog represents a condition of
mind projected into the forms of matter
that we see -- and people who are ruled
over by this condition of mind, are
incapable of comprehending what is holy. And
from an enlightened perspective, a swine, is a
swine, because of the underlying aspect
of mind and consciousness that is
represented in the form of the swine.
Thought Animated
Symbols: The
Egyptians expressed themselves in
hieroglyphs -- and much of the Chinese
languages represent thoughts impressed
into symbols -- and when properly
understood, everything that we see
and interact with in the outer world is
merely the thoughts of the Great Mind
expressed in the allegorical forms of
matter -- i.e., mental-imagery. If you could take
the vast realities of our own mind and
express each aspect of mind in the form
of a symbol that would animate the
thought that each represents, then you
would begin to grasp the reality of man
as dwelling within an illusion that is
an allusion -- i.e., a Matrix of mind
expressed into symbols which animate
each thought that is the building blocks
of consciousness. And thus,
we can begin to grasp the higher reality
expressed by G.R.S. Mead, a foremost authority on the
Gnostics, in his book entitled
Fragments of a Faith Forgotten,
where this explanation of the true
nature of the scriptures is put forth:
“…what the
Gnostics projected onto the screen… [in
the form of a ] picture of the universe
was in reality a picture of their own
minds. Its mythology is a symbolic
portrayal, almost a deliberate one, of
the forces which operate in the
structuring and evolution of the human
personality”. And upon
encountering these same patterns of
thought in the dreams and thinking of
his patients, was the reason that Carl
Jung called the Gnostic Christians the
worlds first and foremost psychologists
who understood the very fabric of human
consciousness.
Why did he come to recognize what the
Gnostics were presenting?
He found that many of his patients who
knew absolutely nothing about either the
Gnostics or scriptures, were in fact
dreaming in these same symbolic symbols
-- and thus, he began to recognize that
the authors of the scriptures wrote in
what is called the language of the soul.
What this means is that all the many
critics of what is presented in Gnostic
scriptures, are merely expressing their
own ignorance of both the essence and
spiritual objectives of
Gnosticism, as well as the relationship
of the cosmology of self, and that of
the outer world. A most
profoundly enlightened statement with
respect to the relationship of what
Jesus portrayed as the Key of Knowledge
and the true meaning of the scriptures
is made by the Church Father Origen in
his famed writing De Principiis where he
states: “But
all the narrative portion, relating
either to the marriages, or to the
begetting of the children, or to battles
of different kinds, or to any other
histories whatever, what else can they
be supposed to be, save the forms and
figures of hidden and sacred things? As
men, however, make little effort to
exercise their intellect, or imagine
that they possess knowledge before they
really learn", they
remain lost and incapable of escaping
the Demiurge that controls their
thinking. What is being conveyed is that (from a
scriptural perspective) all the
interrelationships between men and
women, the marriages, and the begetting
of children, as well as the battles and
wars, kings and all other aspects of the
scriptures that on the surface of the
text appear to be historical -- are not
at all historical -- but rather, the
allegorical portrayal of body, mind/soul
and spirit of the disciples own mind and
being. And this is why the
Apostle Paul states that the biblical
account of Abraham is an allegory (Gal
4:24) -- and has no historical
relevance, significance or accuracy.
And while both the carnal Jews and the
carnal Muslims look to Abraham as their
common forefather, they do this because
of their ignorance of the symbols of
their own scriptures.
In much the same way, the seemingly
astrological myths of the Greek poets
and other such writings, are once again
a portrayal of mind. And
this reality is demonstrated in the
words of the Apostle Peter:
“The wisest of
the ancients, men who had by hard labor
learned all truth, kept the path of
knowledge hid from those who were
unworthy and had no taste for lessons in
divine things. For it is not really true
that from Ouranos and his mother Ge were
born twelve children, as the myth counts
them: six sons, Okeanos, Koios, Krios,
Hyperion, Japetos, Kronos; and six
daughters, Thea, Themis, Mnemosyne,
Demeter, Tethys, and Rhea. Nor that
Kronos, with the knife of adamant,
mutilated his father Ouranos, as you
say, and threw the part into the sea;
nor that Aphrodite sprang from the drops
of blood which flowed from it; nor that
Kronos associated with Rhea, and
devoured his first-begotten son Pluto,
because a certain saying of Prometheus
led him to fear that a child born from
him would wax stronger than himself, and
spoil him of his kingdom... But, my son,
as I said, such stories have a peculiar
and philosophical meaning, which can be
allegorically set forth in such a way
that you yourself would listen with
wonder” (Peter quoted
in the Clementine Homilies).
Why would the esoteric truths concealed
in the writings of the Greek poets amaze
the hearer? Because
what is being revealed is the very
foundational fabric of mind and being
that modern man remains totally ignorant
of today.
Higher Truth Lies
Beyond The Allegorical Forms Of The
World:
That there is an Inner
Source of Knowledge that is beyond even
the most enlightened wisdom of this
world, is in fact the very reason why
the Apostle Paul wrote:
“For the truth
about God is known to them
instinctively; God has put this
knowledge in their hearts”
(Rom 1:19 TLB). Which
are in fact parallel statements
presented in the above -- i.e., that of
astronomer
James Jeans who stated that:
“Today there is a
wide measure of agreement… that the
stream of knowledge is heading towards a
non-mechanical reality; the universe
begins to look more like a great thought
than like a great machine”;
and the statement by astronomer Arthur
Eddington:
“The stuff of the
universe is mind-stuff”.
More recently, cyberneticist David
Foster described
“an intelligent
universe”
whose apparent
concreteness is generated by cosmic data
from an unknowable, organized source.
The reality of the holographic theory says that:
“…our
brains mathematically construct hard
reality by interpreting frequencies from
a dimension transcending time and
space. The brain is a hologram,
interpreting a holographic universe.”
Once the
reality that this world is an illusion
-- and that the illusion is in fact an allusion
-- and this reality is understood as one
looks out at the forms and
mental-imagery of this world -- what
this means is that from a
biblical perspective, the swine
is an unclean animal, because of the
thought-pattern and consciousness that
is represented in the (allegorical) form
of the swine as presented to our organic
senses. The swine which is
condemned as an unclean animal in the
Bible, is also rejected in the Qur'an --
and while the unenlightened Atheist may
point to this commonality between the
scriptures and conclude that Mohammed
borrowed from Moses, nothing could be
further from the truth.
The swine is unclean, because of the
thoughts that are embodied when
projected into the allegorical form of
nature that created its image and
actions. The
commonality is founded upon the fact
that both the authors of the Torah, as
well as the Qur'an, were aware of what
these thoughts projected into the
(allegorical) forms of mind represented
in the symbols of consciousness
impressed into the symbol that is
presented to the mind of man as he
observes the allusion of the outer world.
And because we are observing and
interacting with Universal
Consciousness, this esoteric reality of
mind is true of all the
forms that we observe in the outer world
-- and especially the human body, which
is an allegorical blueprint of our own
mind, impressed into the forms that make
up the body-vessel in which we dwell.
And the fact that these universal
(allegorical) symbols of mind which are
impressed into the forms of nature, is
the basis of why it appears that
religions borrow beliefs from other
religions (see
The God Who Wasn't There ),
represents the folly of the Atheists and
critics who condemn what they lack the
depth of mind to even begin to
understand. And in the
same way that the unenlightened
religious believers who, because of
spiritual immaturity, clings to doctrines
of manmade belief regarding the
interpretation of these symbols of
projected mental-imagery, the
pseudo-intellectuals and Atheists invent
half-baked theories such as Evolution,
to explain away what they fail to
understand with respect to the forms
observed in the outer world.
Thus, the pseudo-intellectuals and
Atheists who fail to understand what
they see when they look out at the outer
world, merely dwell under the power of a
different variety of Demiurge than the
immature religious people they condemn.
The True
Measure Of Intellect: Why do I
portray them as pseudo-intellectuals?
An ultra-important definition of
intellect is presented on the
Nazirene web site which reads:
"The true
measure of intellect is seen in the
ability of a person to re-evaluate what
they believe to be true when additional
and clarifying knowledge is received,
and then apply this knowledge in their
life so as to intimately embrace the
higher truth that has been revealed in
the endeavor to receive still Higher
Truth." To
ignore the explanation of why the
author's of the scriptures were
literally forced to compose their
writings in the allegorical language of
the soul -- and to ignore the universal
message of the mystic who has warned
mankind that the objects that they see
in this world is projected
mental-imagery -- and that this
enlightened vision of this world has
been confirmed by modern physicists who
portray this world as a Great Thought,
the Source of which can only be
understood from the perspective of the
"Field" which is not seen by man's
physical senses -- gives a totally new
dimensional meaning to the folly of
man's absolute insanity to ignore.
And to ignore the very words of the
Apostle Paul in relation to the above --
i.e., "While we
look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen:
for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18
KJV) -- represents a demonstration of
modern man's intellectual incompetency
that is simply beyond the pale of the
history of man's superstition and
ignorant past. And the
fact that our modern pseudo-intellectual
educators are clueless as to the
universal meaning of the mental-imagery
that is projected into the forms and
symbols of the scriptures -- i.e.,
composed in the universal language of
the soul -- is proof of their
intellectual bankruptcy.
What is
being stated by both the physicist and
the Gnostic author of the scriptures?
I have demonstrated above at a number of
points where the biblical authors warn
that higher reality is inconceivable to
the mind of organic man.
Why? For no other reason
than the fact that man's organic natural
physical consciousness is infantile and
undeveloped. So
the problem then becomes how an
enlightened visionary who has escaped
the illusions of this world -- i.e., an
enlightened visionary who finds himself
condemned and rejected by the men of
organic carnal consciousness -- finds it
near impossible to convey
to others who lack the ability to
understand in their present organic
condition, what they need to embrace in
order to expand their level of mind
beyond organic human consciousness.
In the account of
Plato's Cave, those who succeed in
escaping the illusions of the Cave, are
condemned and rejected as
"madmen"
when they return and attempt to convey
to others the true reality of what
carnal organic man sees in this world of
mental-imagery. Thus,
because it has been impossible
throughout man's history to convey the
truth of this world literally, these
visionaries who had themselves escaped
the illusion that is an allusion,
portrayed the symbols of mental-imagery
in such a way, that the symbols
themselves would act as a catalyst that
reflects man's inner reality where the
meaning of the symbols is known and
understood for what they truly reveal to
the mind of the enlightened seeker.
And this is why in the above quotation
of the Church Father Origen he states
that
"...As men,
however, make little effort to exercise
their intellect, or imagine that they
possess knowledge before they really
learn",
he is indicating that an inner part of
us already knows and understands the
meaning of the symbolism of the
projected mental-imagery, and when the
Key of Knowledge is properly applied,
man begins to possess the power and
ability to escape the illusions of
Plato's Cave that Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being.
And the fact that our modern systems of
education is not only totally ignorant
of the true meaning of the scriptures --
or why the mystic visionaries who
authored the worlds' scriptures composed
them in this allegorical manner -- is
indicative of the fact that our modern
educators are themselves under the power
of a different variety of Demiurge --
and they exist as virtual slaves who are
shackled to the illusions
of
Plato's Cave and the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being.
Thus, in the same way that man dwells
within a living world of allegorical
symbols that when understood, had the
inherent power to enlighten -- the authors of the scriptures
utilize these very same symbols in such
a way, that they act as catalysts
that connect the seeker with their own inner higher
reality that they are for the most part
ignorant of. Why?
Because it is the proper
usage of these catalysts which
facilitates the necessary expansion of
mind beyond organic limitations.
And while the spiritually immature
religious person may embrace these
biblical symbols under the cloud of
blind faith -- the very fact that they
systematically embrace them, enables the
symbols to begin to act as forces that enlighten,
when used in the proper environment --
i.e., the environment which Jesus
portrayed as the
"good ground" in the
parable of the
Sower and the Seed.
And apart from this environment which
Jesus warned is necessary to escape the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being,
Jesus warned:
“Know ye not this parable? and how
then will ye know all parables?”
-- which indicates the absolute
necessity of brining about the
environment of the
"good ground" within one's
self, in order to escape the organic
limitations of the physical
consciousness of the body-vessel.
And proof of what Jesus stated is
demonstrated in the fact that not only
is the immature believer incapable of
understanding the true meaning of the
scriptures, but this blindness is also
true with respect to the pseudo-intellectual and
Atheist critics who reject the biblical
symbols as superstition and useless
myth -- remaining intellectually flat-lined
and bankrupt -- unable to move beyond
their present mindset, because the
Demiurge-filter that controls their
thinking, will not permit the necessary
expansion of mind beyond its present
carnal and organic limitations.
Yet these pseudo-intellectuals, like the
Pharisees before them, not only put
themselves forth as teachers -- but they
use their position of authority to force
others to subscribe to their folly and
ignorance.
In reality
there is nothing that is concealed from
mankind -- and the problem is the
inability of the physical to perceive
what lies beyond the vibration of the
spectrum of earth-frequencies.
Thus, the Gospel proclaims:
"And the disciples
came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables? He
answered and said to them, Because it has been
given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
has not been given. For whoever has, to
him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not
have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing
they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you
will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not
perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears
are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see
with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with
their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.'
But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears
for they hear; for assuredly, I say to
you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and
did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it"
(Matt 13:10-17 NKJ).
The
disciples were those who had detached
themselves from the thinking, mindset
and lifestyle of this world -- and were
seeking the Kingdom. Thus,
they began to develop the necessary
expansion of mind and the senses, that
permitted them to see and perceive
beyond the spectrum of
earth-frequencies. The
multitudes, on the other hand, remained
blind to anything outside of the
frequencies of the earth -- and were
thus portrayed as blind, deaf and unable
to perceive and understand man's higher
soul and spiritual reality.
That limiting force of consciousness
that left them earth-bound in their
thinking and virtually blind to man's
higher reality, was
portrayed as a Demiurge that was the
source of the delusions they dwelled
under. The Demiurge is very
much the filter of their beliefs,
mindset and lifestyle, that limits the
vision and understanding of the world in
which they live. Therefore,
once this reality is understood, then it
can be said that each group -- nay, even
each individual -- dwells in a world
created by their own Demiurge which they
worship in ignorance.
In the parable of the
Sower and the Seed, the Demiurge is
portrayed allegorically as Satan who
alienates the person from
“...the word
that was sown in their hearts”
(Mark 4:15 KJV).
^
Unique Individual Perspective Of
Scriptures And Life:
By design, each
person sees a different meaning to the
scriptures -- and ultimately, life
itself. One
of the translations of the second saying
of the Gospel of Thomas states: Jesus
said, "Let the
one who seeks not stop seeking until he
finds; and when he finds, he will be
agitated. When he is agitated he will be
amazed, and he will rule over
everything."
The fact that the seeker has the ability
to find, indicates that (transformed) man possesses
this ability to Know the Higher Reality
that organic man is blind to. Why,
then,
would those who succeed in finding the
answers to man's higher soul and
spiritual reality, be
"amazed"
at what is revealed to them?
The ramifications of this question has
no equal -- i.e., unless you can truly answer this
question from an enlightened
perspective, you are not even prepared
to form an opinion of what you see in
the outer world -- much less, teach
others! And this is
one of the primary reasons why Jesus
commanded his disciples not to be called
a teacher -- and commanded them to
reject the title of rabbi or teacher
(see True Prophet).
Further, for reasons that will become
apparent as a greater understanding is
achieved, each individual person's
perception and understanding of both the
scriptures, and life itself, can not
only be different -- and this vast
difference between what people see and
understand is brought about by the Laws
that must maintain Wholeness -- but the
vast differences are often from a
radically opposite and conflicting perspective.
And unless you understand why groups of
people -- and even people within a group
-- see and understand the world
differently, then you will not only inflict great
harm upon those who you attempt to
teach -- but you will entangle yourself
in what Jesus portrayed as
The Prison. Further, when one person attempts to teach
another what they see and understand
from their perspective, they are depriving that person
of the opportunity of self-discovery --
and even the opportunity of achieving
the ultimate
success in life.
In truth,
the most important interpretation of the
scriptures is in fact the one that each
individual person uniquely sees, when
they open the Bible and other copies of
scriptures. And from a
biblical perspective, those who attempt
to teach you the meaning of the
scriptures in the manner of most
religious groups and commentaries, are
in fact the ministers of the AntiChrist.
How can this be? You ask? In the
Homilies of Clement the Apostle Peter
states of a meeting that is to take
place between himself and the proverbial
character of Simon Magus:
“Therefore Simon,
who is going to discuss in public with
us tomorrow, is bold against the
monarchy of God, wishing to produce many
statements from these Scriptures, to the
effect that there are many gods, and a
certain one who is not He who made this
world, but who is superior to Him; and,
at the same time, he is going to offer
many scriptural proofs. But we also can
easily show many passages from them that
He who made the world alone is God, and
that there is none other besides Him.
But if any one
shall wish to speak otherwise, he also
shall be able to produce proofs from
them [the scriptures] at his pleasure.
For the Scriptures say all manner of
things, that no one of those who inquire
ungratefully may find the truth, but
simply what he wishes to find...”
Basically, and to the horror of both
believer and critic alike, what Peter
appears to be stating is that, not only
can both seemingly conflicting positions be
supported by the scriptures -- but that
anyone who consults the scriptures will
only see what they predisposedly desired
to find in the message of the written
words. And while few
people are enlightened enough to
understand why, what Peter is stating is
true.
What Peter
is stating is totally contrary to the
boilerplate doctrinal interpretations
that are published by religious schools
of thought today. There is a
predisposed reason why one person sees
the message of the scriptures
differently than another person -- and
even why one person sees the outer world
differently than another.
And without understanding why each
person sees and understands differently
than another, we can't even begin to
unravel the enigmas of life that
confront us. And while the
enigma of perceptive confusion is
simple, few people possess the depth of
vision and understanding to even begin
to comprehend the organic reason people
see both the scriptures, and life
itself, from an often totally different
perspective. And the
answer is found in the reality that, while the potential of mind is vast,
only a fragment of mind is capable of
manifesting in the organic body-vessel.
And since the Laws that control all
aspects of this world
MUST Maintain
Wholeness, this is accomplished through
the process of polarizing each person to
a different fragment -- each fragment
itself polarized to a different sphere
of mind -- and across the
spectrum of a multitude of people, the
necessary Wholeness and cosmic balance is achieved
and maintained.
And this is why Peter states that not
only are different people predisposed to
see something totally different in the
scriptures, but this is true with
respect to all aspects of life in this
world.
This very
unique vision of both the allegory of
the scriptures, as well as the allegory
of the physical world itself, is
further presented to us in the 90th Chapter of
the
Gospel of the Nazirenes where it is
stated: "The
One truth has many sides,
and one sees one
side only, another, and some see more
than others, according as it is given to
them. Behold
this crystal; how the one light is
manifest in
twelve faces,
yea four times twelve, and each face
reflects one ray of light,
and one regards
one face, and another, another,
but it is the one crystal, and the one
light that shines in all. Behold
again, When one climbs a mountain and
attaining one height, he says, this is
the top of the mountain, let us reach
it, and when they have reached that
height, lo, they see another beyond it
until they come to that height from
which no other height is to be seen, if
so be they can attain it. So it is
with truth. I am the truth and the way
and the life, and have given to you the
truth which I have received from above.
And that which is seen and received by
one, is not seen and received by
another. That which appears true to
some, seems not true to others.
They who are in
the valley don't see what they who are
on the hill top see. But to each,
it is the truth as the one mind seeth
it, and for that time, till a higher
truth shall be revealed to the same; and
to the soul which receives higher light,
shall be given more light.
Wherefore don't
condemn others, that you not be
condemned."
Unless you
understand why the above quotation out
of the
Gospel of the Nazirenes is true --
and you come to understand why each person sees
the world differently -- why each man
interprets truth differently -- and why
each man perceives life from a greatly
differing perspective -- then you are
simply not prepared to understand either
the true higher reality of
self, or what you observe in the outer
world. These words
convey a personal reality that perhaps
only a few people alive today are able
to comprehend with any workable depth of
understanding. The
words in RED
of course convey the key concepts.
Not only does each person see the same
truth differently, but these vast
differences are literally programmed
into the perception and thinking of the
individual. And if we pose
the question: Which individual sees the
truth? The answer is,
none of them. In reality,
because each person is functioning from
a different and sometimes conflicting
fragment of mind, each person sees and
reasons through an inherent filter that
only permits them to perceive a fragment
of the truth -- which is often very
different than the fragmented perception
of others.
Just as important is the phrase:
"...and some see
more than others, according as it is
given to them."
And thus, we are presented with one of
the most important questions that every
person must be able to answer, in order
to live a meaningful life to that
person's full potential -- i.e., why is it given to each one to see
differently? And why is it
given to some, to see more than others?
Why don't all see the same?
Why do some see more? And
who or what is causing this great
variance in seeing and understanding to
manifest among the people?
To systematically ignore these
all-pervading and important questions,
is to consign one's mind and thinking to
the abyss of absolute ignorance -- i.e.,
the "outer
darkness" of mind and being
that Jesus warned about.
A great
warning is sounded that few understand
in the words:
"My brethren, let not many of you become
teachers, knowing that we shall receive
a stricter judgment" (James
3:1 NKJ). Why? There
is only One Valid Teacher -- and those who attempt to teach without fully
understanding the answers to the above
questions, are in fact bringing judgment
and condemnation upon themselves!
In fact, the warning in the Revelation
when properly understood in relation to
the Laws, confirms this almost
self-imposed suicidal fact -- i.e.,
“If anyone has
an ear, let him hear. He who leads into
captivity shall go into captivity; he
who kills with the sword must be killed
with the sword. Here is the patience and
the faith of the saints” (Rev
13:9-10 NKJ). The term
captivity is being used to portray
anyone who attempts to force another
into thinking in a prescribed manner
that is not their own -- or living by their own
imposed thinking upon this other person
-- or living in accord with their philosophy,
their religious
beliefs, or lifestyle.
And in forcing one's brother or sister
into any form of mental, philosophical,
religious or cultural captivity, they are invoking the
Sword of the Laws against themselves.
And in forcing one's
brother or sister into a mental,
doctrinal, philosophical or cultural captivity,
that person and those who support them
will themselves become shackled into
what Jesus taught was
The Prison.
Ignorance
of the Laws -- ignorance of why
different people see and understand
differently -- ignorance of why
different people express themselves
differently -- is the surest way to
bring about one's own demise and
downfall. Creating
manmade laws that unduly restrict
others, will invoke a tenfold
restriction against one's own self in
ways that few could even begin to
envision. The
homogenization of thought or lifestyle
by any sectarian or nonsectarian manmade
authority against that person's will,
invokes repercussions of the Laws which
will enslave those who lead others into
any form of mental, social, religious or
philosophical captivity that in any
manner inhibits that other person.
And the vast majority of people cannot
even begin to grasp the retributive
power of the Laws that are invoked
against those who fail to comprehend
this reality that often controls every
aspect of the life that each person
lives -- both now, and in the future.
It is more
often than not, the blindness of our
leaders -- both sectarian and
non-sectarian -- that brings about the
prevailing ignorance of the masses. Again, the 29th Gospel of Thomas saying
states: Jesus said,
"If the flesh
came into being because of spirit, it is
a wonder. But if spirit came into being
because of the body, it is a wonder of
wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this
great wealth has made its home in this
poverty." In addition
to berating the whole of the concept
of Darwin's Evolution, again we see the
word amazed used in respect to man's
higher reality of soul and spirit in
relation to the little of self that is
manifest in the body, in the words:
"...Indeed, I
am amazed at how this great wealth has
made its home in this poverty."
And one of the realities that are
presented is the fact that those who
base either their religious beliefs on
the limitations of human reasoning,
which are the product of manmade doctrines and the thoughts of
carnal men -- or their scientific
theories and findings on the folly of
men who see only the very limited
reality of the three dimensions of this
world -- all dwell under the cloud of
absolute ignorance in their state of
profound blindness. Again we
see these men who attempt to teach and
lead, being portrayed as
dwelling in poverty of mind and being.
It is therefore further stated in the
Gospel of Thomas:
"But
if you will not know yourselves, you
dwell in poverty and it is you who are
that poverty... Whoever
finds himself is superior to the world"
Yet, it is
these blind leaders of both traditional
religion, culture, as well as the junk
science that is taught to school
children, that has caused the
intellectual poverty that envelops the
world in ignorance today.
^
The Great Allegory Of
Mind And Matter: In one of
the most ignored Gospel statements we
are not only portrayed as the offspring
of God, but as dwelling within the Mind
of God -- i.e.,
“‘For in him we live and move and have
our being.’ As some of your own poets
have said, ‘We are his offspring’”
(Acts 17:28 NIV). Put
this together with the above statement
by
James
Jeans that:
“...the universe
begins to look more like a great thought
than like a great machine”.
Or the words
of Arthur Eddington:
“The stuff of the
universe is mind-stuff”.
And you
have portrayed a higher reality that few are even
prepared to contemplate -- much less,
understand with sufficient degree to
even form a realistic opinion.
Further, if you attempted to convey this
reality to the common man of the first
century, they would very much reject
what you are saying as
"foolishness"
-- much like most of mankind today.
When the first century elder Ignatius
wrote to the Christian congregation of
believers that
“Might I not
write to you things more full of
mystery? But I fear to do so, lest I
should inflict injury on you who are
babes. Pardon me in this respect, lest,
as not being able to receive their
weighty import, ye should be strangled
by them”
-- he said this because if he was to
begin to even convey the truth and
reality of man's higher soul and
spiritual nature and the Kingdom, these
Christians would very quickly dismiss
him as a crazy lunatic, and would no
longer listen to a thing that he says.
Therefore, Ignatius, as with all the
biblical authors (see
Mystery), understood that the mind
of the believer must be matured -- the
dormant spheres of mind that do not
correspond to this physical world must
become activated and developed -- in
order for the believer to begin to
perceive and grasp his own higher soul
and spiritual reality. And
this expansion of organic human
conscious beyond normal physical limits
is what is portrayed in the process:
"Whom will he
teach knowledge? And whom will he make
to understand the message? Those just
weaned from milk?
Those just drawn
from the breasts?
For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept, line upon line,
line upon line, here a little, there a
little" (Isa 28:9-10 NKJ).
In the same way that an infant grows
into a child and adult one step at a
time, so too does the process of
mental-expansion take place line upon
line.
Perhaps
the key to bridging the visionary
perception of the Gnostic Mystic who
authored the scriptures, with that of
modern
cyberneticist David Foster who described
“an intelligent
universe”
whose apparent
concreteness is generated by cosmic data
from an unknowable, organized source, is
in beginning to understand why we see
allegorical images.
The reality of the holographic theory says that:
“…our
brains mathematically construct hard
reality by interpreting frequencies from
a dimension transcending time and
space. The brain is a hologram,
interpreting a holographic universe.”
And only
then can we begin to grasp why Jesus
stated that organic man dwells in the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being
(see
Outer Darkness
), and why Plato portrayed man as
dwelling in a type of Cave of Illusion
(see
Illusions ).
And the answer is provided in the above
words that:
“…our
brains mathematically construct hard
reality by interpreting frequencies from
a dimension transcending time and space."
Explaining that our
"...brain is a
hologram, interpreting a holographic
universe.”
What this
means is that we dwell in a Great Mind
-- and based upon the frequencies of
thought that we perceive and interact
with our physical senses, our brains interpret these
frequencies in the allegorical forms
that we perceive as being concrete
matter. Each aspect of
thought is represented by a (universal)
symbol that our brains interpret in the
form that we observe when we look out at
the world. But if we pose
the question: Is what we see
concrete matter? And why are
these forms in the outer world said to
be an illusion? What we are in fact
seeing is animated thought-generated
symbols -- i.e., thoughts that our
brains (organic consciousness) interpret in the context of an
allegorical symbol that we perceive as
the shapes and forms that our physical
consciousness interprets in the
appearance and meaning that we see it
as. Thus, the
words of Karl Pribram in the
February 1979 Psychology Today interview
where it is stated that:
“It isn’t that
the world of appearances is wrong; it
isn’t that there aren’t objects out
there, at one level of reality. It’s
that if you penetrate through and look
at the universe with a holographic
system, you arrive at a different
reality, one that can explain things
that have hitherto remained
scientifically inexplicable: paranormal
phenomena… synchronicities, the
apparently meaningful coincidence of
events”. In the words that
“It isn’t that the
world of appearances is wrong..."
-- what is being conveyed is that what you see
-- or think you see -- in the outer world
of appearances, is thought portrayed in
an allegorical form that permits the
people stuck in the limitations of this
realm, to interact with a higher reality
(of mind) that is beyond their conception -- and
even beyond their wildest imaginations.
We dwell in
a world of mental imagery -- a world
where aspects of mind are impressed into
the forums of nature -- and while the
forms with which these images are imbued
are cast by Universal Mind -- because
each of us is under a different sequence
of Laws by virtue of the fragment our mind
is polarized to within the spheres of
the Tree of Life, we then perceive
the forms of mental imagery from an
often uniquely different and sometimes
opposite perspective than what is
perceived and understood from another
person.
This segmented perspective which is
responsible for what we can portray as
the
Tower of Babel Syndrome with which
organic man is imbued, causes man to not
only understand the allegorical accounts
of the scriptures differently, but also
the mental imagery of the outer physical
world itself -- as explored in the
foregoing, and presented to us in the
90th Chapter of the
Gospel of the Nazirenes where it is
stated: "The
One truth has many sides,
and one sees one
side only, another, and some see more
than others, according as it is given to
them.
Behold this crystal; how the one light
is manifest in
twelve faces,
yea four times twelve, and each face
reflects one ray of light,
and one regards
one face, and another, another,
but it is the one crystal, and the one
light that shines in all..."
Therefore,
each person not only has a unique
perspective of the universal symbols of
mind as expressed in the mental imagery
of the forms impressed into Nature --
but each person's perception is further
narrowed by (1) what sphere of mind they
are polarized to; (2) the Laws they were
/are born under; (3) gender; (4) the
filter of race; (5) the cultural
influences of their present life; (6) the
influence of religion and philosophy;
(7) each persons personal level of
mental evolution they have achieved over
the course of the past lives their
higher soul-self has lived.
The result is that what each person sees
and evaluates in the outer world, more
often than not is a reflection of that
persons own mind and thinking.
And it is through this interaction with
a reflected image and imagery of their
own mind, that forces each persons
growth and development through the
interactions of life which are brought
about by the Laws that have created each
person's learning curriculum of life --
with the objective being to force each
individual into mental interactions
which not only serve the individual
needs of each person, but bring about
that person's own evolutionary
development of mind.
The scriptures are nothing more than
an extension of the holographic
imagery of mind impressed into nature in
the form of an allegory which is intended to assist
the disciple to escape the illusions of
this world -- i.e., the
"outer
darkness" of Plato's Cave.
Thus, the second saying of the Gospel of
Thomas:
"Let the one who seeks not stop
seeking until he finds; and when he
finds, he will be agitated. When he is
agitated he will be amazed, and he will
rule over everything."
He will be amazed, because absolutely
nothing that we see is concrete or even real -- and it is
merely thought-images that are allegorically
animated into forms and symbols that
represent the reflected thought which
each of us is often uniquely interacting
with -- ultimately, reflecting back to
us an aspect of our own mind and being. And in overcoming this
world of illusion -- i.e., escaping
Plato's Cave (see
Plato's Cave )
-- or, entering through the inner
"narrow gate" that Jesus taught (see
http://GateOfEden.com ) -- one is
able to enter the higher reality of the
soul-self, and see and perceive the
source of all things.
When we
listen to a voice on a telephone, we are
not hearing the actual voice -- but
rather, the telephone reproduces the
frequencies that have been generated in
the analogue wire connection, into a
voice that our ears can hear.
When we listen to a recording, the
source of the music is a series of
frequencies imprinted into a CD.
When we watch a DVD, our televisions are
reproducing both sound and picture from
frequencies that have been imprinted
upon a disk. Similarly, the true source of what we
see in this world is a frequency of
thought that is projected into an
allegorical image of the thought that
this image represents. Thus,
we see and interact with allegorically
animated thoughts that our brains
interpret as being concrete matter.
Yet, our true self -- i.e., our higher
soul-self that exists in an inner
parallel realm -- sees and understands
all things as they truly are.
The organic
mind of man remains under the delusion
of what can be portrayed as the
Tower of Babel Syndrome with
respect to each person's incomplete perception.
From the perspective of a matured and
evolved higher state of mind,
because man in his undeveloped organic
condition totally lacks any degree of Wholeness, and
continues to perceive through the limited
vision of one of one of the fragments
within the twelve spheres of
mind -- in conjunction with the seven (7)
factors presented above -- organic
(natural) man's vision and understanding
is so limited, that everything he thinks
he knows, is always in profound error --
i.e., "There is
a way that seems right to man, but its
end is the way of death" (Prov
14:12).
As a simple
example: Water is H2O --
indicating two parts hydrogen and one
part oxygen. And in
the same way that from an individual
perspective, both hydrogen and oxygen
are integral elements of water, if they
did not exist independently of each
other, then there could be no such thing
as water. While this is a
very simplified example, aspects of mind
follow a similar pattern.
Again, in the above scriptural statement
of fact: "The
One truth has many sides,
and one sees one
side only, another, and some see more
than others, according as it is given to
them.
Behold this crystal; how the one light
is manifest in
twelve faces,
yea four times twelve, and each face
reflects one ray of light,
and one regards
one face, and another, another,
but it is the one crystal, and the one
light that shines in all..."
In the same way that water could not
exist if either the hydrogen or oxygen
elements were missing, what is portrayed
as the One Truth in the above, could not
exist, if any of the twelve elements
that make up that truth did not exist.
In the same way that when light is shown
through a prism, because of the
frequency differences it can be observed
that white light is in fact made up of
the balance of seven colors, the One
Truth that is referenced in the above
quotation, is comprised of twelve lesser
truths that comprise an integral part of
the Whole.
In the same
way that each person physically begins
their journey into life as a one-cell
embryo -- and that within the one is the
DNA that contains the potential for the
seven glands and the twelve organs that
constitutes the necessary foundation for
the embodiment of the mind -- @@@HERE
It is
important to understand that
"...one sees one
side only", and this is not so
much by individual choice -- but rather,
because of the limitations of organic
human consciousness, each person's mind
is polarized by the Laws to a fragmented
perception and vibration within one of
the twelve spheres. And
thus, in the same way that the color red
is one of seven colors within the
spectrum of white light -- and from the
perspective of that frequency, only red
exists -- each person's perception and
understanding is from the perspective of
the fragment that their organic mind is
polarized to. Thus,
"...one sees one
side only", because their
organic mind is polarized to that
frequency -- and without much
development, it will remain impossible
for each individual to perceive the
lesser truth that is perceived and
understood by another person who is
polarized to a fragment within another
of the twelve spheres. The result
is that while
one person sees truth in one religion,
philosophy or ideology, another
person sees truth in a different and
often conflicting religion, philosophy
or ideology, while another person views
all religion as a bogus fraud -- and so on across the
greater population -- with the Laws
insuring that each of the fragments of
truth is represented -- with the Laws
maintaining a balance across the
spectrum of fragments, to insure that
Wholeness is manifest. But
just as important is to recognize that
in the case of most people who exist at
an organic human consciousness, they
have no real choice with respect to the
filter that shades the very small window
through which they perceive and look out
at the world. And
thus, the importance of the statement in
the Book of the Revelation:
“If anyone has an
ear, let him hear.
He who leads into
captivity shall go into captivity;
he who kills with the sword must be
killed with the sword. Here is the
patience and the faith of the saints” (Rev 13:9-10 NKJ).
Those who condemn, or force another to
adhere to their perceptive
understanding, religion, philosophy or
ideology of life, will in the future
inherit the evil of their own ways.
Once we begin to understand that the
physicist is correct when he states that
the universe is a Great Thought -- i.e.,
the above statement by
James
Jeans that:
“...the universe
begins to look more like a great thought
than like a great machine”
-- then it becomes imperative that we
begin to understand not only the
complexity of the Cosmic Thought of the
Universe -- but the fact that this Great
Cosmic Thought is comprised of integral
lesser thoughts that come together in
the manifestation of the Whole -- and
each of these lesser thoughts are
themselves comprised of still lesser and
fragmented thoughts that are as
necessary to the balance and
manifestation of the Whole, as is both
hydrogen and oxygen must exist in the
proper purity and balance to manifest
water.
The One
Truth which in the above is portrayed as
having twelve
sides, exists on a higher plane than can
be naturally manifest within the earth's
organic spectrum of frequencies.
Which means that from an
earth-perspective, all we can perceive
is the separated twelve faces that when
in balance, make up and support the
Higher One Truth that is beyond the
vision and understanding of organic man.
Yet, in the same way that at one level
hydrogen and oxygen exist in their
independent state, so too does each of
the twelve sides that are necessary for
the higher One Truth to exist -- albeit,
on a higher plane than the environment
of the earth that is necessary to
support the existence of each of the
twelve. And the fact
that organic man whose body is comprised
of earth-matter, vibrating at the
frequencies of the earth, can only
perceive the twelve segments that make
up the Whole in their fragmented state,
is absolutely necessary for the Higher
Truth to exist. In the same
way that the upper portion of a pyramid
must itself be supported by a foundation
which is comprised of many blocks, this
is true of all Higher Thoughts and
Realities that exist beyond the
frequency vibrational spectrum of the
earth.
True
Spiritual Sources such as the historical
Jesus, do not walk among mankind to tell
him what to believe -- but rather, to
teach their brothers and sisters how to
(1) free themselves from the constrains
of the Laws that impose organic limits
upon them, and (2) how to expand the
mind beyond the natural earth
vibrational limitations in order to
enable them to perceive the One Truth
that exists at a higher level than the
organic frequencies of the earth.
This expansion of mind requires a
transformation of the physical body,
which enables it to manifest the higher
vibrational frequencies that are beyond
the organic spectrum of the earth.
As the mind
is evolved, matured and expanded beyond
organic limitations, the person begins
to perceive and understand from a higher
and more enlightened reality of mind.
Yet, for this expansion of mind to be
brought about, the person must have
developed and evolved each of the twelve
spheres of mind within himself that
enables him to perceive and understand
from the perspective of this higher
state of mind and being.
While from the vibrational spectrum of
the earth, the twelve appears to exist
separate from each other -- and the
organic vibrational frequencies of the
earth cannot support the reality of the
Higher Truth that each of the twelve
parts make up -- this is not the case
with respect to the evolved mind of man
that has the capacity to not only
manifest each of the twelve, but also to
draw the twelve into balance, in order
to support the higher reality of mind
and being that is on a higher plane than
that supported by the organic earth.
From one
perspective, what is being presented is
Universal Truth that exists within the
Divine Pattern of Creation -- and this
sequential reality of numbers represent
the very DNA of Mind and Being that are
truly universal to all that exists.
From a biblical perspective, while the
Torah and Old Testament exist with each
of the twelve spheres portrayed as being
comprised allegorically by tribes, it
can be said that Jesus existed by virtue
of the singleness of each of the twelve
disciples. And while
the disciples existed at an
earth-frequency vibrational reality,
they allegorically represented the
foundation for the higher reality
portrayed in the manifestation of Jesus
to exist. Which means that
the One Truth (Jesus) which
manifestation was not of the earth, was
able to exist because the twelve that
were of the earth existed in harmonic
oneness -- i.e., "The
One truth has many sides,
and one sees one
side only, another, and some see more
than others, according as it is given to
them.
Behold this crystal; how the one light
is manifest in
twelve faces,
yea four times twelve, and each face
reflects one ray of light,
and one regards
one face, and another, another,
but it is the one crystal, and the one
light that shines in all..."
And this pattern remains true throughout
all that exists as an integral element
within the spiritual and mental DNA of
Creation itself.
On the
earth level of being, both the higher
and lower aspects of mind are impressed
into the forms of nature which, because
of man's inherent organic
incompleteness, can only be
allegorically presented to us.
In order to perceive the Higher Truth
that is being expressed, one must
themselves be Whole -- which means that
the twelve spheres of one's own mind
must be evolved and in balance, in order
to support the necessary higher
realities of mind and being. Because
organic man lacks the necessary
Wholeness which would merge the twelve
divided perceptions into a higher vision
of reality, the only way that they can
perceive the fragmented thoughts that is being presented to
them by their earth-bound senses, is through the mental imagery of
what that thought (and fragmentary
aspect of thought) represents to their
own mind and thinking. And
this Wholeness is important in that, the traditional
monk-mystic -- and/or
the person who embraces meditation by
suppressing the lower spheres of mind in
order to activate the upper -- himself
remains incomplete, and only sees the
mental imagery of this world as an illusion.
And this is why you often hear those of
a monastic or Eastern mindset expressing
the reality that mankind dwells in a
world of illusion. And
this is true even at the level that the
analogy of Plato's Cave is written from
(see
Plato's Cave). What
differentiates the vision of the True
Gnostic who has undergone the
transformation of the lower self which
brings about Wholeness, is that the
Gnostic not only perceives that the
illusion of the Mystic is in fact an
allusion -- but with the balance of the
twelve spheres of mind, the Gnostic sees
all things for what they truly are.
And while many pseudo-gnostics who
attempt to redefine the meaning of the
word Gnosis, imagine themselves to be a
gnostic, this is only because of man's
attempt to comprehend what the organic
mind of man cannot understand, from a
very carnal perspective.
Why? Because they are
themselves fragmentary, and they lack
Wholeness.
Great
insight into this fragmented vision can
be understood by the statement of the
second century Christian Church Father
Clement of Alexandria, as quoted in
Smith & Wace's Bible dictionary where
Clement presents the difference between
the faith of the entry-level Christian,
in contradistinction to those to did as
Paul commanded -- i.e.,
"Therefore let
us leave the elementary teachings about
Christ and go on to maturity..."
(Heb 6:1 NIV) -- and in Clement's
portrayal of a Gnostic vs the elementary
believer of the simple-faith, we see the
result of Wholensss and Maturity:
“Faith is the
foundation; knowledge the
superstructure, by knowledge faith is
perfected, for to know is more than to
believe. Faith is a summary knowledge of
urgent truths; knowledge a sure
demonstration of what has been received
through faith, being itself reared upon
faith through the teachings of the Lord.
Thus the Gnostic grasps the complete
truth of all revelation from the
beginning of the world to the end,
piercing to the depths of scripture, of
which the believer tastes the surface
only. As a consequence of this
intelligent sympathy with the Divine
Will, the Gnostic becomes in perfect
unity in himself, and as far as possible
like God. Definite outward observances
cease to have any value for one whose
being is brought into abiding harmony
with that which is eternal; he has no
wants, no passions; he rests in the
contemplation of God, which is and will
be his unfailing blessedness.”
When
Clement portrays the Gnostic Christian
as being in
“…unity in himself”, and
developing maturity and wholeness to the
degree where they have become
“…like God”
and “…brought
into abiding harmony with that which is
eternal”, it is at that time
when the disciple becomes the True
Christian by entering the final stage of
spiritual development, and fulfills the
biblical requirement as set forth by
Jesus in the words:
“You,
therefore, must be perfect, as your
heavenly Father is perfect”
(Matt 5:48 RSV). When
rightfully understood, perfection cannot
be achieved apart from wholeness -- and
only the person who has fulfilled this
requirement set forth by Jesus in the
Gospels, can perceive the world through
a higher reality that organic man is
virtually blind to.
The
Wholeness that a True Gnostic sees in
the world, is always condemned by the
multitude of people who dwell under the
delusion that they see and understand
reality. Thus, the
words of Einstein:
"Great spirits have always
encountered violent opposition from
mediocre minds."
Great Spirits are those who have worked
to do as Jesus commanded and remove the
beam from their own eyes, before they
attempt to point out the splinters in
the eyes of their brothers and sisters.
And if Einstein possessed a higher
vision of life that enabled him to
observe those who he portrays as
mediocre minds over the course of the
eons of lifetimes that they continue to
embrace what Jesus taught was the ways,
thinking and lifestyle of this world,
Einstein would conclude that their blind
mediocre thinking and mindset that
causes them to perpetually respond
violently to the wisdom of Great
Spirits, is seen in the fact that they
continue
"...doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results."
@@@check below
A different
flavor of blindness is responsible for
the folly
of the pseudo-intellectuals who attempt to
portray one religious group as copying symbols
from another group -- and ultimately,
these pseudo-intellectuals are in effect
publishing their own ignorance to the
world at lodge. Why?
They are openly admitting to the fact
that they are themselves blind to
their own higher soul-reality that sees all
things as it truly is with a wholeness
that they not only lack, but in fact
alienates each of them from moving in
“…unity in
himself”. Because
the underlying forces of mind and being
are common to all seekers the world over
-- and the forces that must be overcome
are universal -- so, too, is the
solutions. So, to even
suggest that one group of people needed
to copy from another, in order to resolve
this universal dilemma and need, is
ludicrous and the epitome of the pure folly of their
limited perception and thinking. Yet, in their
ignorance with respect to the underlying
forces (of mind) in the Field, the
pseudo-intellectuals who are blind to
the reality of the Field, not only promote their
folly to those who look to them as
authorities -- but force their blind
ignorance on unsuspecting minds by
virtue of their unconstitutional
alliance with government.
In
the same way that science has proven
that paired particles remain connected
in a dimension of the Etheric Field that
can't be observed with man's organic
senses (see
The Books With
The Power To Deceive - Allegorical
Scriptures For An Allegorical World
), on a deeper level, all of
Creation remains connected -- and all
that man sees and interacts with, is
merely aspects of mind (mental imagery) impressed into
the forms of nature that comprise the
physical universe and the world in which
each person lives -- and all these forms
are subject to the filter of beliefs of
the individual interpretation of each
person who perceives the symbols from a
different perspective of mind.
Mystics are
those who seek to become spiritual
scientists. In the Wikipedia,
the word scientist is defined as:
"...in the
broadest sense, refers to any person that
engages in a
systematic
activity to acquire
knowledge or an
individual that engages in such practices
and
traditions that
are linked to
schools of
thought or
philosophy." By this
definition, a Mystic is a scientist without
self-imposed three-dimensional limits that are brought about
by predefined doctrines of belief.
Further, once it is recognized that all of
life is an expression of mind impressed into
allegorical symbols and forms of matter that are representative of
aspects of thought, then the
"fossilized"
doctrines of modern science must be
recognized as little more than flat-earth
theories that have absolutely no basis in
fact and higher reality.
And in the same way that those who portrayed
themselves as the Orthodox religious faith,
promoted and championed Gnostic Scriptures that they failed
to understand with any depth beyond the
allegorical symbols of the letter of the
written text, it is in like manner true
that most of modern science is merely an
extension of this same blind belief in
Darwinism, who was totally ignorant of even
the very substance of the reality expressed
into the esoteric forms and symbols of
nature.
In the
words of Einstein:
“We may therefore regard matter as being
constituted by the regions of space in which
the field is extremely intense… There is no
place in this new kind of physics both for
the field and matter, for the field is the
only reality” (quoted in M. Capek,
The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary
Physics). The true meaning
and reality of what is expressed in the
allegory of the form in which we perceive
with our organic senses, can only be
understood when we are able to mentally
access the Field that is its Source of
Being. And this is true of
everything that we see -- that we think we
see -- as well as all that exists in the
earth.
Returning again
to the statement by
James Jeans that:
“...the universe
begins to look more like a great thought
than like a great machine”
-- everything that we think we perceive in
the earth, is merely an aspect of a thought
that has been impressed into the imagery of
the mind -- i.e., an allegorical symbol.
Organic man, who sees
only the symbols of the thought-patterns of
mind impressed into the forms of matter,
remains ignorant as to the aspect of mind
that is represented in these forms which are
impressed into nature. In
the recognition that man who fails to look
beyond the form, does not know what each
form represents, they recognize the fact
that to understand what they see, they must
begin to seek the source.
Therefore, when properly understood, Darwinism would then be parallel to, and
synonymous with, a type of religious Fundamentalism.
Both see only the allegorical form or symbol
-- they both reject the assertion that there
is a deeper meaning than what is
perceived in the physical -- and both
ardently reject and condemn whoever attempts
to convey to them that there is a deeper
esoteric meaning than what they see within
the limitations of their physical senses and
organic thinking.
Thus, the intellectual Fundamentalist who is perhaps the epitome of
this carnal ignorance, attempts to conclude
that the forms of matter observed in the
outer world is independent of
any other underlying source -- and by virtue
of this error, modern
quantum physics has proven what the mystic
has long warned, that nothing is further
from the truth. Moreover, the
scriptures are allegorical, in order to
prepare the disciple to understand the
esoteric reality of the outer world -- and
the outer world is an allegorical allusion,
which is in fact a blueprint of the Divine
Pattern of Mind and Being that is
represented in the reality of the Universal
Consciousness. And thus,
the scriptures have absolutely nothing to do
with history -- but rather, in the above
words of G.R.S. Mead:
“…what the Gnostics
projected onto the screen… [in the form of a
] picture of the universe was in reality a
picture of their own minds. Its mythology is
a symbolic portrayal, almost a deliberate
one, of the forces which operate in the
structuring and evolution of the human
personality”.
In recognizing
that men do not understand the true reality
of what they see and perceive with their
physical senses, mystics have become
enlightened to understand man's higher reality.
Those
seeking knowledge must perceive and
comprehend the underlying source in the
field that is creating the allegorical form
that organic man observes projected into
matter. The Egyptians, Chinese,
as well as all ancient cultures, used
hieroglyphics and a language based upon
pictures, symbols and forms, to convey a
meaning -- as does all of nature, which is
composing and writing it's message to us, in
the very forms and allegorical symbols that
we see and physically interact with.
While the Mystic has long understood the
reality that physicists are only now
beginning to understand -- i.e., all of
nature speaks to us and reveals an aspect of
mind that is represented in the form of the
living object that it portrays.
And this is why there are no missing links
that prove Darwinism -- because nature and
organic life is a projection of aspects of
mind into the forms we observe into those
frequencies of Cosmic Thought which we call
matter. And thus, those few who
develop themselves to the degree that they
begin to see through the allegorical
illusions of matter, are truly amazed at what
they see:
"Let the one who seeks not stop
seeking until he finds; and when he
finds, he will be agitated. When he is
agitated he will be amazed, and he will
rule over everything"
(Gospel of Thomas).
Critics will
state: How are we to know these things?
In reference to the Key of Knowledge which
Jesus accused the carnal Jews of throwing
away (see
Key Of Knowledge), the Church
Father Origen wrote of the scriptures that:
“It is sufficient
however, to represent in the style of a
historic narrative what is intended to
convey a secret meaning in the garb of
history, that those who have the capacity
may work out for themselves all that relates
to the subject.”
The key phrase here it seen in the words
"...that those who
have the capacity may work out for
themselves all that relates to the subject”
-- which indicates that men and
women of true intellect that are free from
the restraints of both the Laws, and the
carnal limitations of man's cultures and
doctrines of belief, have the ability
to crack the code of not only the
scriptures, but of Creation itself, by
applying the rules of the Key of Knowledge.
The literal text of the Gospels -- and
especially the Sermon on the Mount --
represent those teachings which prepare the
seeker/disciple to break free of the
restraints of the Laws, which constrain the
mind, and enable the seeker/disciple to
begin to "...have
the capacity [to] work out for themselves"
the true meaning of both the
scriptures, and the life they are presently
living. This inability to
perceive and comprehend because of the
restraints of the Law and related
constraints of the mind, is why Jesus was
forced to teach
in parables -- and why Clement of Alexandria
explained: “The
Lord… allowed us to communicate those Divine
Mysteries, and of that holy light, to those
who are able to receive them. He did not
certainly disclose to the many what did not
belong to the many; but to the few to whom
He knew that they belonged, who were capable
of receiving and being molded according to
them."
Traditionally,
reality has been what sectarian and secular
leaders have said it is. To
oppose these pseudo-authorities of both
church and state, is to be condemned and
rejected as a heretic -- which often carried
the sentence of death. These
sectarian and secular leaders primary goal
was to preserve their own positions as
religious and political authority over the
people. And throughout man's
past, religion was one of the primary tools
that was used by secular rulers to maintain
unquestioned authority over the people.
In the case of the Christian Church
beginning in the fourth century, to disagree
with the doctrines affirmed by the Emperor
Constantine, carried with it the sentence of
death. Thus, Gibbon writes in
the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:
”Constantine easily
believed that the heretics, who presumed to
dispute his opinions or to oppose his
commands, were guilty of the most absurd and
criminal obstinancy... Not a moment was lost
in excluding the ministers and teachers of
the separated congregations from any share
of the rewards and immunities which the
emperor had so liberally bestowed on the
orthodox clergy. But as the sectaries might
still exist under the cloud of royal
disgrace, the conquest of the East was
immediately followed by an edict which
announced their total destruction”.
Thus, in the same way that whoever did not
embrace the religion of the emperor met with
the sentence of death, whatever scriptures
did not conform to the approved version, was
immediately destroyed (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ).
What this means
is that neither modern day believers,
non-believers, accepted scholars or critics,
have absolutely any idea what Jesus really
taught -- as well as the esoteric knowledge possessed
by his disciples -- because the only thing that
remains today, is the doctrines of the Church of
Constantine. Jesus did not
intentionally hide or conceal anything from
the multitude of people who could only be
taught in parables -- just like there is
nothing intentionally hidden or concealed in
the allegorical text of the scriptures --
but rather, those whose body and minds
function from an earth vibrational
frequency, cannot perceive and understand
the higher truths that can only be
comprehended by those who have brought about
the necessary Wholeness within their own
mind and being. Thus, to his
disciples Jesus said:
“Unto you it is
given to know the mystery of the kingdom of
God: but unto them that are without, all
these things are done in parables: That
seeing they may see, and not perceive; and
hearing they may hear, and not understand”
(Mark 4:11-12 KJV). Those
who are "without",
are those who dwell in what Jesus called the
"outer darkness"
of mind and being. That the
twelve dimensional aspects of the One Truth
has to exist as foundational realities for
the Higher Truth that is above the organic
frequencies of the earth, is synonymous with
the reality that hydrogen and oxygen must
exist in their separated forms, in order to
manifest water.
Those seekers and
disciples who had themselves escaped the
prevailing ignorance of those who dwelt in
what Jesus portrayed as the
"outer darkness", knew the esoteric secrets that
permitted them to bypass both the sectarian
leaders of the Church, as well as the
secular rulers -- and because they existed
as a threat to the political establishment,
they were hunted down and
murdered -- and their more pure copies of
the scriptures were destroyed.
Yet, the sacred knowledge that was thrown
away by the Church, has now come back to
hold the leaders of Christianity
accountable.
That mankind is
innately imbued with the ability to greatly
expand his potential of mind and conscious
awareness -- and begin to perceive and
understand what is impossible for those who
fail to develop themselves -- is presented in
the statement by the Apostle Paul when he
warned that ultimately, all men are without
excuse with respect to the knowledge God and
the life that they are living -- i.e.,
"...because that which
is known about God ...for God made it
evident to them. For since the creation of
the world His invisible attributes, His
eternal power and divine nature, have been
clearly seen,
being understood through what has been made,
so that they
are without excuse"
(Rom 1:19-20 NAS).
And that organic man is for the most part
blind to this higher reality and meaning of
what they see, is because they fail to
develop themselves -- and they embrace and
support pseudo-religious and pseudo-secular
authorities who for their own preservation
of power, force other men and women to
conform to their dictates -- again repeating
the little understood statement in the
Revelation:
“If anyone has an
ear, let him hear. He who leads into
captivity shall go into captivity; he who
kills with the sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of
the saints” (Rev 13:9-10 NKJ).
Those who force their opinions, rules,
philosophy and judgments upon others --
leading them into captivity -- will
themselves be slain by the Sword of the Law
(see
The Law). Those who lead
others into captivity -- or support those
who force their will upon others -- will
themselves become imprisoned by the Laws
until they cease to exert force upon their
brothers and sisters.
If I use an
extreme example to make a point -- and state
that all the German people suffered great
loss because of their adoration and
empowerment of Hitler as their leader --
this suffering and loss is easily
demonstrated in the images of burnt out
cities and bombed out rubble that pervaded
the land as the result of Allied bombings.
Thus, actions have consequences -- and when
the German people permitted Hitler to come
to power, they suffered the consequences of
their actions. Yet, in a similar
vain, the multitude of mankind has invoked
his own variety of self imposed destruction
in the form of the wholesale limitation of
mind and awareness, which pervades the lives
of those who cling to the teachers, leaders,
authorities and philosophers of this world.
The mystic and
true spiritual disciple understands that the
organic mind of man is embryonic, and must
be developed -- expanded beyond organic
limitations -- and evolved into a state of
Wholeness of Mind. But in
man's attempt to build upon a Darwinist
model of body and mind, modern man is
shackled by the reality that Darwin was not only
totally blind and oblivious to what the modern physicist portrays as the
(Etheric) Field,
Darwin lacked the
necessary enlightened spiritual vision to
perceive these underlying forces in the
Field that was responsible for creating the
forms and expressions of life that we
observe in the countless images presented to
our senses by nature. Where, in
Darwin's blindness to these underlying
forces, he imagined the survival of the
fittest -- he failed to understand that what
he was observing was the
final form representing an allegorical image
of that aspect of mind which is portrayed in
the symbolism that presented itself to the
senses of man in the limitations of his
organic vision and understanding.
If Darwin had understood the foundational
structure of his own mind and thinking,
perhaps he would have begun to make the
parallel insights that would have unlocked
the formula and pervading Laws which were
responsible for creating the images of what
he observed in the outer world.
One of the
primary inherent and often self-imposed
obstacles that has shackled man to
ignorance about both himself, and the
reality of the world in which he presently
lives, is seen in the fact that man has
permitted himself to become anchored to an
erroneous perception of both himself, and
all of Creation.
Experience tells us that if one begins on a erroneous assumption,
then it is difficult to arrive at a higher
understanding, without first re-examining
the erroneous starting point -- and then
restructuring the mind from top to bottom.
Which means that in our present time where
Darwinism is used to counter what is called
Creationism and/or Intelligent Design --
i.e., a
Fundamentalist perception of the written
words of the scriptures -- the obstacle that inhibits
man's progress is far more political, than
factual. While the
Fundamentalist who assigns the label of
Orthodox to his own interpretation of the
scriptures, lacks any understanding of the
esoteric meaning of the symbols that make up
the written text -- the pseudo-intellectuals
and Atheist critics are themselves blinded
by the limitations of their own organic consciousness,
and they lack any understanding of the
esoteric meaning of the allegorical symbols
that are impressed into the forms of nature.
One of the primary purposes of the
scriptures is to prepare the mind to
understand the higher reality that is
imprinted into the forms of nature within
which we find ourselves immersed. And while Darwin and his theory of evolution
remains the holy grail of the Atheists and
Secular Humanists who are the architects and
guardians of our modern-day godless culture, even
the more enlightened scientist readily sees
the flaw in this very mechanical and limited
perception of life.
Officially,
Evolution is called a Theory, because there
is a total lack of evidence to support it. In the words of Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural
History: “The old
explanation that the fossil record was
inadequate is in itself an inadequate
explanation.” Why? The fossil
record is inadequate because everything that
we see and perceive in this realm is
directly caused by patterns of force being
exerted upon matter from beyond the bounds
of this three-dimensional world in which we
presently dwell -- and the very patterns and
forms are themselves the symbols of mind and
consciousness impressed into what we
interpret to be concrete matter. But Darwin, himself,
understood that his explanations were drawn
from a very incomplete and
inadequate record, and questioned the
validity of his own theory when he wrote:
"Why then is not
every geological formation and every stratum
full of such intermediate links? Geology
assuredly does not reveal any such finely
graduated organic chain, and this, perhaps,
is the most obvious and gravest objection
which can be urged against my theory"
(Charles Darwin, On The Origin Of Species).
According to Darwin's theory, the geological
record should be full of species that are
slowly increasing in complexity over time.
There should be whole communities of people
who would themselves represent the long lost
missing link that mainstream science has
been pursuing -- yet, these communities of
people don't exist, because the forms of
nature represent mind impressed into
allegorical symbols of consciousness --
i.e., evolution in reverse. Since evolution relies on time, chance, and
incremental steps, sudden leaps are not
possible. But this is exactly what the
fossil record shows, which directly
contradicts the theory of evolution!
Yet, pseudo-intellectuals who maintain
absolute control over what is taught in our
schools and universities, continue to
promote the folly of Darwinism, in the same
way that a snake oil salesman continues to
peddle his worthless product for his own
personal enrichment.
Whales are
portrayed as one-time land mammals that
returned to the sea, and grew breathing
holes in the top of their heads, as well as
flippers and fins that surrounded their legs. Those who
embrace this convoluted reasoning promote
the idea that these land mammals over the
course of eons, never again stepped foot on
dry land, while these radical changes to
their bodies were brought about. And
in the same way that the Fundamentalist
expects us to believe that the world was
created in six days, six thousand years ago,
the pseudo-intellectuals expect us to
believe that over the course of these eons when these
same land mammals still had legs, that (1)
neither did their descendents who had legs
step foot onto dry land; (2) and they were
somehow not attacked by sharks and other
predators who were hunting virtually
helpless mammals on the surface of the water
for food. We are not talking
about a small group of land mammals going
back in the water for short periods -- but
rather, a rather large group of mammals
going back in the water -- over the course
of lifetimes of having legs which enabled
them to walk on the land -- and over the
course of eons of refusal to use those legs,
we are being told that very slowly their
legs began to atrophy, as fins began to
ever so slowly grow over the legs -- and
that they grew blowholes in which to breathe
out of.
One of the
primary reasons why this theory has been
embraced is seen in the fact that within
the fins of most whales, exists what appears
to be legs -- but in not understanding that
the body of the sea mammal is the result of
mind being projected from the Field into the
form of nature as perceived in the pattern
of thought that it represents, the
Darwinists have embraced the folly of
absolute irrationality. To
prove the absurdity of their reasoning, perhaps they
should volunteer to live in the ocean to see
if their offspring over the course of eons,
become mermaids. Mind you,
something would have to motivate their
countless generations of offspring into
never stepping foot on dry land, and utilizing
the natural qualities of their legs.
Imagine the children of these so called
intellectuals dogpaddling in the water in
the hope that over the course of thousands
of years, the legs of their descendents will
turn into mermaid fins!!! Their convoluted reasoning is that if they
entered the water now, and all their
offspring remained in the water over the
course of tens of thousands of years -- never again
using their legs and stepping foot on dry
land -- that their offspring would over the
course of eons of time, become mermaids.
If, as the
Theory of Evolution states, and that all
life began as a one cell amoeba, then like
the concept of the mermaid, birds developed
as land animals that either kept jumping
into the air, or were some sort of lizard
that kept jumping out of trees.
Yet, in order to even begin to substantiate
such a theory, it would have to be shown
where eons of generations of offspring from
these lizard type creatures keep either
jumping into the air attempting to take
flight, or out of trees or rock formations
attempting to soar in the air.
Simultaneously, many of the
bones in the skeletal structure of birds are
hollow, and they of course have feathers
which permit them to soar in the air.
Yet, we are expected to believe that these
necessary structural changes took place by
virtue of lizards either continually jumping
in the air, or jumping from great heights
over the course of eons of lifetimes, for
these changes to be brought about.
Again, in the
words of Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural
History: “The old
explanation that the fossil record was
inadequate is in itself an inadequate
explanation.” And
the failure of the fossil record to support
the Theory of Evolution is noted by its
author:
"Why then is not
every geological formation and every stratum
full of such intermediate links? Geology
assuredly does not reveal any such finely
graduated organic chain, and this, perhaps,
is the most obvious and gravest objection
which can be urged against my theory"
(Charles Darwin, On The Origin Of Species).
Unlike the
pseudo-intellectuals who promote their
half-baked ideas that are gravely flawed, the mystic is the
spiritual-intellectual who is willing to
follow the flow of truth and knowledge
wherever it leads them. The
Mystic, as the true scientist, must therefore
cast off all manmade religious dogma and
doctrines -- set aside all preconceived
ideas about life -- all the theories of the
philosophers of this world -- as well as the
illusions that his own senses present to him
as he looks to the outer world -- seeking
only the essence and source of Truth. In the same way
that you can't get to what is called the
Kingdom of God by traveling outwardly --
mystics are those who explore the inner
resources of mind and being in search of
what Jesus taught was the
Inner Kingdom (Lk 19:20-21).
Jesus commanded his disciples to
“Enter through the
narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad
is the road that leads to destruction, and
many enter through it. But small is the gate
and narrow the road that leads to life, and
only a few find it” (Matt 7:13-14
NIV) -- but where is the gate that must be
entered? Certainly not in
the outer world -- and few find it, because
there are certain conditions that must first
be met, before this inner gate within one's
own self can even be found.
In Judaism, the river
Jordan means "descender"
-- and would be interpreted as the
connecting link between the physical and the
Inner Spiritual.
Allegorically, Jesus was baptized in the
Jordan River -- and what this portrays is
that the only true baptism is via a
Spiritual Power or Anointing
(Messiah/Christ) directly from God through
this Inner Source of our Spiritual Being
that is not of the earth. In
Hinduism, the River Ganges was said to be a
flow of water from the heavens into the
earth -- and this is an allegory of the
energy flow that empowers our minds -- with
its source deep within our layers of
consciousness. If, as
astronomer
Arthur Eddington states, that
“The stuff of the
universe is mind-stuff” --
then the only way to explore beyond the
borders of this world of illusion, is to
develop one's own mind to pierce the
cloak that limits the physical senses of
organic man to the three dimensions of
this world. Thus, from
an allegorical perspective, one must seek to
the Source of the vital life-force that
animates our outer physical being --
breaking down the barrier and opening a
bridge to our inner reality of soul and
spirit -- becoming Anointed (Messiah/Christ)
through the pure flow of what is
allegorically portrayed as the River Jordan
or Ganges.
What few intellectuals
understand is the difference between
spiritual fact, and religion -- i.e., while
this expansion and Anointing of the mind is
a fact -- how to bring this Anointing about
would be classified as religion.
To suppress the knowledge of the facts of
life, inhibits man from achieving the
results of these facts of life.
Modern quantum physics has proven that the
Field is the Source, and the physical that
we see is the result of what is created in
the Field. This is a fact that
neither Darwin nor science understood in the
past. The problem is that the
inner core of every valid religion that was
led by Mystic Scientists, knew this
fact of life all along -- and while the
outer congregations of believers did not
have the capacity to understand this common
factual knowledge that has been known by the
inner spiritual core of each religion -- the
very purpose of religion is to prepare the
multitude to attain the capacity to perceive
and understand.
Should be blame the
kindergarten teacher that their students
lack a university graduate degree?
The teacher would of course explain that the
kindergarten curriculum is purposely
designed to prepare the child to obtain a
graduate degree, as the child's mind grows
and evolves to maturity.
And thus, religion serves the same exact
purpose in preparing the believing community
to become Knowing from a higher spiritual
perspective.
Many parents have to
come to terms with the fact that their
children became side-tracked -- and the
whole structure of their planned educational
experience became derailed.
Along the way their once innocent child
became involved in drugs, crime, consuming
vices -- and the negative influences of
friends and culture, made the parental
desire of a graduate degree for their child
an impossibility. That
pseudo-teachers always arise, and utilize
pure religious paths for their own
self-serving interests, is human nature --
which not only corrupts religion, but every
endeavor of mankind. That
throughout man's history governments have used religion to control the
masses, is an historical fact that is true
of every culture. Yet, man's
corrupting human nature does not in any
manner negate the spiritual facts which are
known only to the inner core of the
religion. The facts remain
the same, regardless of man's corruptions --
and regardless of what men believe and
philosophically profess.
@@@check here
Part of
the process of procuring a university
graduate degree was the successful
navigation through the negative influences
that derailed many unsuspecting school
children. In many US school
systems, the high school graduation rate is
less than 50% -- and the case can be made
that would portray sending your child to
school as being synonymous with educational
Russian Roulette. The
latest statistics convey the reality that
over two million inmates presently populate
the prisons of the United States -- and yet,
the vast majority of these criminals were at
one time an innocent child who became
corrupted by the negative influences of our
culture -- and nearly all of them attended
government educational institutions that
became the bedrock of their thinking and
lifestyle. The corrupting
influences of our culture is an ever looming
reality that befalls great numbers of
seemingly innocent school children.
In the same way that pedophiles lie in wait
on the Internet disguised as other children
-- and because of lack of experience and
parental oversight, innocence is very
quickly taken advantage of -- this same
corrupting influence attacks mankind in
every path of opportunity that he endeavors
to walk. Almost every day we
hear of a school child who has been seduced
by the very adult teachers who we trust as
educators. As with all of man's
roads through his journey into life, no
sooner does the genuine Mystic and Spiritual
Visionary attempt to help others to
experience and bring about man's higher
spiritual reality for themselves within the
context of their own lives, than the jackals
and wolves in sheep's attire appear to twist
what was conceived in purity, and establish
the fulfillment of their own self-serving
carnal appetites as they prey upon the
innocent and unsuspecting victims of their
base corruptions.
It is the
voice of the Mystic that has perpetually
stated to the rest of mankind:
If you
want to see and know that I have seen,
and know what I have come to know, then you have to do and
accomplish what I have myself done with
my own mind and life! So,
what the Mystic is in fact stating, is that
while the minds of all people are equal in
their innate potential, in the reality of
this world all minds are not the same -- and the mind
can and must be trained and matured to see and
comprehend what other people's minds remain
blind to. Is this Gnostic
elitism, as the Orthodox have traditionally
attempted to portray those who claim to
possess the secret esoteric teachings of
Jesus that was not revealed to the multitude
of people? In speaking of the
reality which Jesus portrayed as the
"outer darkness"
(see
Outer Darkness) which presented the fact
that the vast majority of mankind dwells
under the illusion of carnal organic
blindness, Jesus stated:
“For this people's
heart has become calloused; they hardly hear
with their ears, and they have closed their
eyes. Otherwise they might see with their
eyes, hear with their ears, understand with
their hearts and turn, and I would heal
them.' But blessed are your eyes because
they see, and your ears because they hear.
For I tell you the truth, many prophets and
righteous men longed to see what you see but
did not see it, and to hear what you hear
but did not hear it” (Matt
13:15-17 NIV). What could
Jesus say to those who were spiritually
blind, deaf, and unable to perceive and
understand beyond the most rudimentary of
human potential? In the same way
that the religious Fundamentalist limits his
understanding to his literal interpretation
of the scriptures, the intellectual
Fundamentalist limits his understanding to
what is seen as concrete matter -- and in
the same way that the religious
Fundamentalist rejects the inner spiritual
esoteric meaning of the scriptures, the
intellectual Fundamentalist rejects the
presence of the Field that is the source of
all things that are seen in the physical
world. Further, the masses of
people are blind followers of either group
of Fundamentalists, and are therefore
incapable of contemplating anything beyond
the very rudimentary Fundamentalist blind
perceptions of man's reality.
While
the modern believer would like us to accept
at face value that they are fulfilling the
mandates of Paul with his doctrine of faith and his rejection of the
outward rituals of the carnal Jews, are we
so gullible to believe that the Church
assists the flock of believers to do as Paul
commanded when he instructed that they must
"Put to
death, therefore, whatever belongs to your
earthly nature"
(Col 3:5 NIV). To the
degree that Paul warned:
“For if ye
live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if
ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds
of the body, ye shall live”
(Rom 8:13 KJV).
Why? Because the consciousness
of the organic flesh of the body-vessel is
totally subject to the illusions of this
world which must be overcome, in order to
begin to perceive man's higher reality of
soul and spirit and what Jesus portrayed as
the Kingdom of God within one's own mind and
being (see
http://GateOfEden.com ).
Therefore, Paul rightfully tells the
believers to reject the outward rituals of
the Jews who failed to comprehend the
allegorical nature of the scriptures, and to
overcome the inherent blindness of the
disciples own organic carnal nature, in order
to escape the inherent ignorance of this
world. Paul's doctrine of faith
was a spiritual faith based upon Gnosis (see
The Gnostic Paul) -- and the faith of
Paul was based upon the fact that if you use
Jesus as the pattern of your life, and seek
the Truth and the Kingdom, that the inner
"narrow gate"
will open unto you (see
Gate Of Eden).
The fact that one of the
primary objectives of
the Mystic is to observe this world from a point just
outside of the illusion of physical
matter, demonstrates that it is the Mystic
who has proven the assertion of the
modern physicist who has stated that "...The
presence of matter is merely a
disturbance of the perfect state of the
field at that place; something
accidental, one could almost say, a
‘blemish’." (see
above). The Mystic has therefore found
that with the right training,
discipline and development through the
process of expansion of mind beyond organic limitations, that he can move into "...the
perfect state of the field",
and observe this world from the
perspective of the Etheric Field --
i.e., the source, rather than the
illusion of the symbolism of what man's
sees as concrete matter.
With
respect to the perception of the
physical senses and limited
understanding of the organic mind of
carnal man, Jesus said of those of his
disciples who followed in TheWay:
“Unto you it
is given to know the mystery of the
kingdom of God: but unto them that are
without, all these things are done in
parables: That seeing they may see, and
not perceive; and hearing they may hear,
and not understand” (Mark
4:11-12 KJV). Why did Jesus
warn that the senses and understanding
of organic man were blind to this higher
reality -- i.e., "...see, and not perceive"?
What made the
outer multitude of people blind to what
Jesus portrayed as the Mysteries of God?
And what enabled his disciples to see, what
could not be seen, with man's normal organic
senses of the body? And
again, why did the people
"...hear,
and not understand”?
Why is the hearing
of one group of people different, than the
hearing of those outside of that group?
While the multitude of men have been told
the answer to these questions many times, it
is the answer that they don't want to
confront and acknowledge.
Unlike the spiritual man -- i.e., the
Gnostic who walks the mystical path of
TheWay -- the organic mind of man lacks
development, and is
blind to the realities in what
the modern scientist has demonstrated to
be the
Etheric Field that is the source
of all the forms of this world -- and
that the Gnostic sees what organic man
is blind to, and understands the higher
reality of the soul and the Mysteries of
the Kingdom, because he has removed the
beam from his own eyes, that he may see
what others are blind to:
"Why do you see
the speck that is in your brother's eye,
but do not notice the log that is in
your own eye? Or how can you say
to your brother, 'Let me take the speck
out of your eye,' when there is the log
in your own eye? You hypocrite,
first take the log out of your own eye,
and then you will see clearly to take
the speck out of your brother's eye"
(Matt 7:3-5 RSV).
The Gospel is in fact a declaration that
while all men have the potential to open
their mind and senses to the higher
reality beyond the three-dimensional
limitations of this world that the
Gnostic has long portrayed as an
illusion that is an allusion, few people
are actually willing to live the
Consecrated Life that Jesus taught was
necessary to Expand and prepare the mind
to be Anointed -- which opening of the
mind enables the person
to see and understand the higher reality
of all things -- both in this world, and
beyond. And while
pseudo-religious men and
pseudo-intellectuals have attempted to
dismiss the mystical Gnostic foundations
of all religions -- proclaiming in both
past and present that if
they can't personally see beyond the three dimensions
of this world, then it simply doesn't exist
-- and yet, modern science has
succeeded in breaking through the
barrier of ignorance with which organic
man has immersed himself in the illusion
of doctrinal and philosophical
confusion.
And the fact that modern science has now
begun to open the door that proves the
fundamental truths that the teachings of
Jesus and the Gnostic foundations of
religion has long expressed --
scientific truths that are presented
and explored above --
indicates that if the scientist now
wishes to begin to prove his own
findings beyond his present state of
maturity, then he will have to begin to
listen more intently to Mystics, and
especially True Gnostics, who have not
limited themselves to the fossilized
thinking of man's past -- i.e.,
“The
present scientific establishment has
grown somewhat fossilized by its current
world picture and is locked into a view
of reality that has outlived its
usefulness. It has begun to limit
mankind’s growth and has so increased
its sense of specialization,
separateness, materiality, and
mechanical computer-like functioning
that it is in real danger of
self-extermination”
(William A. Tiller, Materials
Sciences Department, Stanford
University).
Science has
proven that the world is not what it appears
to be to the physical senses of the body --
and those who were declared heretics
throughout history, were often the few who
were right.
