(Prov 14:12)

  Foundational Paradigm - The Dungeon Of Linear Pseudo-Intellectualism: Man's search for truth and the answers to the virtually countless dilemmas of life can be defined from the perspective of two very opposite schools of thought which are built upon opposing foundational paradigms and visions of reality -- i.e., (1) that man must study and learn the theories and opinions of other men who are accepted as teachers, authorities and experts; and (2) that each individual person possesses an innate connection to an Inner Source of Truth that he must learn and acquire the ability to tap into.   The first paradigm of thinking is based upon what the scriptures portray as the wisdom of this world that the Apostle Paul warns will always come to naught -- and is based upon the foundational paradigm that the child's mind is empty, and this emptiness must be filled through the acquisition of knowledge and truth from others perceived to be knowledgeable teachers.    While to the detriment of modern man, the second paradigm of foundational thinking remains an enigma that is not readily understood.

"There is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death" (Prov 14:12)   The Didache -- or the Teachings Of The Apostles -- declares:  "There are two ways, one of life and one of death, but a great difference between the two ways".   And this same "Two Ways" are portrayed in the words: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NKJ).  While the Christians, like the Jews before them who threw away the Key of Knowledge, look outwardly to other men to teach them -- and for the Kingdom to come outwardly upon the earth -- the Gospel itself states that there is One Teacher -- and this One Teacher can be found in the Kingdom that will never come upon the earth so as to be seen by men, because it is within you -- and it is therein that you must seek it: "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21).   And that the way of death that is portrayed as the "broad-way" of self-destruction, is the seeking of Truth and the Kingdom in the outer world -- while the "narrow-way" that leads to Life is within you -- is the Good News Message of the Gospels.   And those who truly believe in the teachings of Jesus and TheWay, will seek out and follow this inner path that leads to Life and The Kingdom. 

Of the two images of the reality of man -- one is rarely ever spoken of, and not at all understood.   The culturally common perception of man is that he came into being at birth -- that his mind is void and empty, and he is in need of being taught.   In his famed work De Principiis, the pre-Nicene Church Father Origen wrote in reference to the proper application of the Key of Knowledge that few men even “…imagine that they possess knowledge before they really learn” -- and then adds that “…the consequence is that they never begin to have knowledge”.   Why?   And perhaps even more important is the reality that men somehow "...possess knowledge before they really learn”.    And the answer to the dilemma is seen in above second reality that  each person possesses an innate connection to an Inner Source of Truth that he must learn and acquire the ability to tap into.  This other image of the reality of man that is rarely ever mentioned or understood, is to some degree expressed in the words of Jean Piaget who stated: “When you teach a child something you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.”    Another interesting quote that is not at all understood by those who subscribe to the mind of the child being void and empty philosophy, is that of John Holt in the words: "A gardener does not grow flowers: he tries to give them what he thinks they need and they grow by themselves".   

In the first image of self that is ascribed to by our sectarian, secular and philosophical cultural icons, is the portrayal of the child's mind as being empty -- while in the second image that is rarely ever mentioned or understood, is that each child is understood to have an innate connection to a Source of Knowledge that greatly exceeds all the avenues of learning available to the child who has undergone the process of being taught in the traditional manner.   And thus, when you teach a child through rote memorization and programming in the manner of our religions and educational systems, you forever alienate the child from even the ability to tap into that Inner Source, and truly begin to learn.    That the (true) self already exists in a knowing and enlightened state of being -- and that the primary objective of life is to connect and manifest our true self -- is the paramount reality in the words of Jesus as set forth in the Gospel of Thomas: "...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty".  

Again, borrowing the reasoning of Einstein: "I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?" (Cosmic Religion : With Other Opinions and Aphorisms (1931) by Albert Einstein [see Quotations]).   If it is true as set forth by the pre-Nicene Church that the soul of man has existed since the very dawn of time -- and the higher soul-self can't manifest in the body-vessel because of the three-dimensional limitations imposed upon the person in this world -- then by intuitively perceiving the reality of the Matrix Of The Soul-Mind, we can begin to grasp the imposing limits impressed upon mankind in his "natural" organic condition of mind and being. 

In the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image ), man is portrayed as a projected image of the soul -- and in the same way that all the previous images of the soul-self that lived in all the lifetimes that the soul has lived are all dwelling within the Matrix of the Soul, all the souls who are portrayed as the Soul-Self and the True Being that each of us is, all dwell within the Matrix of the Logos (Mind of God).  Holographically,  in the same way that the soul is the sum total of all the lifetimes that it has lived, the Logos (Mind of God) is the sum total of all the experiences of all the souls that came into existence since the beginning of Creation -- and thus, all of Creation is evolving and moving from the Alpha of ignorance to the Omega of Enlightened Light. 

When Paul warned the Christians who he had himself taught that they were yet too carnal and undeveloped to comprehend the true meaning of the Gospel and the higher reality of the soul and the Kingdom (see Mystery Of The Gospel), one of the most important concepts that the organic mind of man has great difficulty with is what is best portrayed as the Segmentation of the Mind.   Even though Jesus himself taught that the Kingdom of God will never come upon the earth in the manner that carnal men look for it (Luke 17:20-21), the vast majority of Christians continue to ignore these words of Jesus, and look for the Kingdom to come outwardly in the manner of the Jews who Jesus condemned as blind guides for throwing away the Key of Knowledge.   And thus, in the same way that they were too carnal to comprehend the segmentation of mind and the higher reality that Jesus was a man who became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) at his baptism in the Jordan (see The Ten Words), the Church corrupted the very words of God spoken to mankind -- because they were too carnal to comprehend the original teachings respecting the man Jesus who was in “...supernatural union of a man and God... In their 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).   Or that Jesus was the example and pattern for all of mankind because in the original teachings of the Gospel, Jesus was portrayed as being "...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." Hence "when [believers] thus fulfill 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).    That the majority of Christians were too carnal in their thinking, mindset and lifestyle to understand this essential original teaching of the Gospel, is because they could not conceive of the reality that the mind of man is segmented into levels of higher and lower fragmented consciousness that alienates man not only from the inner Kingdom, but the higher reality of his own soul -- and ultimately God.

In many respects, the same problem exists as to why the Christian world which is limited by a body of believers whose human organic limitations of mind can't come to terms with the levels of segmented mind that make up their own Cosmology of Mind -- which organic three-dimensional limitations inhibit them from understanding the reality of the Logos/True Prophet/Son of God.   As presented in the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 with respect to the relationship of what is portrayed as your Likeness, and the images which came into existence before you -- i.e., your true self or soul-self is portrayed in the words: Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice."  Contrary to Eastern dogma and the New Age concept of reincarnation, the soul or soul-self does not enter into this world -- but rather, what enters into the body-vessel at conception is an embryonic image of the higher soul-self -- i.e., "...But when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!"   And these images which failed to become manifest do not reincarnate -- neither do they go to Glory as the Christians believe -- but rather, as images that failed to attain the next level of birth, they remain within the Matrix of the Soul (see Soul-Symphony - Time - Soul-Octaves - Spiritual Cathedral).  

In each instance it is demonstrated that the person you are in this world is not the true being that you are -- but rather, a projected image of your soul which is your true self that does not incarnate into this world.    Which a more enlightened understanding of the Cosmology of Mind would convey to us the correct understanding of the warning of Jesus with respect to the words: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NKJ) -- the word translated "destruction", in no manner represents what is actually being presented.   Quoting the footnote on this word in the Schofield Reference Bible which reads: “There is no thought in these various words of annihilation but of something that is ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”.    And in the same way that a woman does not perish if one of her eggs fails to evolve into a fetus, neither does the soul perish when one of its images which is projected into this world, fails to evolve through the three stages of birth.    And in the same way that the woman's egg that fails to become an embryo is "...thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”, so too is the embryonic image of the soul that is projected into this world "...unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose.”    And this purpose, is to bring about the necessary threefold birth that enables the soul to enter into what Jesus portrayed as Life.

To further demonstrate the higher reality of birth that was portrayed to Nicomedus in the Gospel of John (see Cosmic Ovum And Sperm), Jesus stated: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" -- and this fact is a true reality of life.    Yet, because the Church has been spiritually disenfranchised by Pagan Rome when they adopted the religious doctrines of the heathen Emperor Constantine in the fourth century, the modern dogmatic Church is totally incapable of understanding the reality of mind and spirituality that Jesus is portraying, and they have adopted the carnal doctrine that this required second birth is accomplished by repeating a prayer to the Jesus-god of Rome.    In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.    Jesus then states to Nicomedus in the Gospel of John: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again" -- i.e., that birth which is of the flesh, is of this world -- while that birth which is born out of the Living Water of Immersion in the cleansing of the teachings of TheWay, and the Feminine Holy Spirit in the form of a Virgin Birth that is not of the physical, but of the Spirit -- only such a person who becomes a disciple of TheWay -- "...fulfill[ing] the commandments of the Law [within himself], he would have been the Christ" -- is able to achieve the objective of the Gospel and bring about the next phase of birth that Jesus taught was absolutely necessary to be called his disciple.   And only those who achieve this next level of birth is able to gain entrance into the Kingdom and Life.    Moreover, that not only the historical man Jesus, but also his inner core of disciples, had achieved these other levels of birth, is seen in the words: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.  If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 3:1-12 NKJ).   Take notice of the plurality of Jesus' words and witness: "...We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness."     Who, therefore, is the WE that Jesus is making reference to?   That the Christian world is incapable of understanding what is being stated, is because the Church became spiritually disenfranchised by adopting the doctrines and lifestyle of Pagan Rome.    And thus, the next stage of the Virgin Birth remains an enigma to the whole foundation of their thinking.  

The implications of the above is that our systems of education which attempt to teach through rote programming -- only acknowledging the very limited three-dimensions of this world as being valid -- does more to inhibit the child/student from coming to possess genuine knowledge, than if they had never attended our formal type of education.  

  The Laws - The Etheric Field - Reverse Darwinism: The Dilemma that we are presented with in the foregoing can be best defined as the paradox of error.   While it is true and factually presented that the faith-based believer has no idea as to the true meaning of the scriptures, it is also true that their pseudo-intellectual critics are absolutely clueless as to the the meaning of what they openly condemn.   While the biblical authors openly attempted to warn the faith-based Christians that the limitations of the "natural" consciousness of man made it impossible for even the congregation of baptized and committed believers to understand the higher reality of the soul and what Paul called the Mysteries of the Gospel and the Kingdom (see  Mystery), to their own demise they ignore these warnings.   On the other hand the pseudo-intellectual critics also ignore these many warnings -- and in proceeding as if the warnings do not exists, the critics cannot provide their readers any wisdom whatsoever as to the very purpose and objective of the scriptures they ignorantly critique, misrepresent and even condemn.    The fact that the authors of the scriptures openly warn the seekers that the mind must be prepared -- and even undergo a process of transformation and even birth -- in order to begin to comprehend man's higher soul and spiritual reality -- is not at all addressed by the critics.  

What is truly difficult for the critic to come to terms with is the fact that the higher reality of the Pattern of Mind and Being that is revealed in the scriptures, can in fact be portrayed as Darwinism in reverse -- which is why the blindness to man's higher reality on the part of believer and critic alike, is in fact self-imposed.   Under the heading of The Great Allegory Of Mind And Matter I present the Darwinist example of the whale -- i.e.,

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.  

In the foregoing linked article (see  The Great Allegory Of Mind And Matter ), Einstein is quoted as saying with respect to the relationship between the (Etheric) Field that is (1) the source of what we see; (2) even though we cannot see the (Etheric) Field with our physical eyes; (3) and of the physical matter that we do see Einstein stated: “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”.   Yet, Atheists and religious critics ignore the source, while continuing to embrace modern fossilized junk-science in their continued attempt to undermine the wisdom of the mystics and author's of the scriptures.    If what man sees as concrete matter is indeed a blemish that has formed in the intersecting forces of the (Etheric) Field -- and it is the Field that is the Source of all that man sees with his physical senses -- then to continue to support the fossilized junk-science Paradigm of Thought that the Field does not exist, and the life-forms of Nature developed apart from the underlying (Etheric) Field, is little more that the dogma of an intellectually barren body of mentally challenged idiots who for purely ideological reasons, remain disconnected from modern reality.  

Is mankind congenitally blind to the higher realty of the (Etheric) Field?   Or are only those who dwell in that state of mind that Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being, blind to the Source which modern physicists now recognize as being in the (Etheric) Field that not only surrounds all forms of matter -- but is the true source of what man observes with his limited physical senses?  Which reality forces us to ask the question: If the Mystic is correct, and all of mankind has the innate ability to transform the body and its physical senses -- permitting the seeker/disciple the ability to perceive the higher reality that man in his natural organic physical state of mind is blind to -- should the rest of mankind continue to ignore the witness of this body of Mystics?   In order to continue to embrace a fossilized junk-science that is both ideologically driven and immersed in ignorance?   

A greatly revealing teaching and concept with respect to the process of alchemical transformation where the physical becomes the environment of the Final Temple portrayed in the allegorical portrayal of the Virgin Birth is presented to us in the Pistis Sophia in the words: "Do not desist from seeking by day and by night, until you find the purifying mysteries of the light, which refine the body of matter and make it a pure light very refined."   This reality portrayed in the necessary condition where the seeker undergoes the process of transformation "...which refine the body of matter and make it a pure light very refined", portrays a body that is undefiled from the impurities of this world -- permitting the union of consecrated flesh and indwelling spirit that brings about the transformation which is necessary to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom that the biblical authors warned were incomprehensible to man in his "natural" organic condition of mind and being.    And it is this holographic interaction of male and female within the construct of the Forces and Laws of Mind, Consciousness in an undefiled (virginal) state of Being that is the substance of the true meaning of the scriptures.   And since the process of achieving this elevated human condition is the primary objective of the spiritual core of all the enlightened religions of mankind since the very dawn of time, to portray this necessary condition of sexual interaction taken to the next rung of the holographic pattern of man's higher mind and being as borrowed myths and legends, must be recognized as absurd and irrational.    And in like manner, if the Mind is comprised of twelve (12) (paradoxical) spheres -- male and female in relation to each other -- that must be brought into absolute harmony with the higher reality of an elevated mind (allegorically portrayed as Jesus), then the fact that these twelve (12) spheres of mind are universally noted by all religions which seek to Know Thyself -- and the Kingdom within -- then is one source copying the myths of another religion when they allegorically portray the pattern of their own mind?    

From a higher and enlightened perspective, each of the traditions of a virgin born crucified savior with twelve disciples is more accurately the independent witness of a higher reality of mind and being that each of the sources has attested to -- drawn from the universal experience of the holographic interaction of male/female within the construct of the necessary "...refined ...body of matter and make it a pure light very refined".    And the fact that neither the blind religious authorities, or the pseudo-intellectuals who attempt to portray these traditions as either an historical account, or a hoax that one religious source has copied from another, is representative of their own ignorance of the higher reality of mind and being that is independently witnessed to by each of these traditions.    The reality of this world as a mental-womb is presented and explored at The Great Allegory Of Mind And Matter.   That each of the animals and forms of nature are themselves allegorical representations of aspects of mind impressed into the image that nature has imbued them with, means that there exists a higher interpretation of the meaning and reality of the forms of nature that is universal to all of man's endeavors.   Thus, what is often seen as copying or borrowing, is in reality an interpretation of a predetermined meaning that is conveyed in the image ingrained in the form of what is perceived with respect to the universal meaning of that image.  A swine is portrayed as being unclean, because it's bodily rendering is representative of a thought that has been allegorically projected into the image of the swine -- as is that of the dog that is detested by carnal Jews and Muslims alike -- and this is true of the whole of the animal kingdom that bears the signature of the God of Nature.   Further, the whole of man's body is an allegorical projection of mind -- in contradistinction to the brain being the actual mind of the person -- and this reality of mind and being is presented and explored in The Brain/Mind Connection.   And it is largely for this reason that the pictorial portrayal of the Tree of Life which is a representation of the twelve spheres of mind, is drawn over the body itself.   That the graphic image on the right also has the Star of David overlaying the body, is a further representation of the Forces and Laws that manifests and animates the whole of our physical and mental being while in this world.   In many respects what Nature has done can be envisioned as if higher reality was holographically projected into the physical -- with each aspect of thought and mind represented in a characteristic and attributes that is revealed in the form of the projection into Nature -- and that what is ultimately revealed is the Forces and Laws that have animated the individual attributes of mind projected into the allegorical images with which the individual elements of nature are imbued.  

That wise men, mystics and visionaries have attempted to warn mankind that the scriptures are not an historical account -- but rather, a spiritual text book of universal symbols written in the language of the soul, that act as catalysts in the development and "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”, should come as no surprise to anyone.   Under the subheading of the Old Testament in the article An Inconvenient Truth it is easily demonstrated that these Truths are confirmed to the reader:  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”.   The objective of Judaism is to become transformed into Spiritual Israel.   In the exact same manner as the enlightened Jewish Rabbi's, the early Christian Church Father Origen writes: “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.”   And with regard to what would otherwise be promoted as historical symbols and events that would appear to us as the knowledge of superficial episodes of the past, Origen writes: “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).   Students of Hebrew Mysticism will perceive that what the third-century Christian Church Father Origen wrote was no different than what is contained in the Zohar, where it states: “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”.   The Jewish mystic who spends his life seeking the inner meaning of the written word that the natural mind of man is incapable of seeing, has warned: "Thus the tales related in the Torah are simply her outer garments, and woe to the man who regards that outer garb as the Torah itself, for such a man will be deprived of portion in the next world..." (the Zohar quoted in No Jew Has Read The Torah).   Peter said what appears to be historical never happened.   Paul called the literal text an allegory.   These same truths are again conveyed to us in the words of the Church Historian Eusebius: “Many were led astray by reading the allegorical contents of the scriptures literally in the method of the Pharisees and Sadducees”.   What these symbols truly mean is perhaps best expressed by G.R.S. Mead in his celebrated work, Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, where he explained that, once properly understood, the true meaning of what is “…projected onto the screen…” of the scriptures, “…was in reality a picture of their [man’s] own minds”. 

The Church Father Origen went one step further and reasoned that "...What man is found such an idiot as" to believe these forms and symbols literally, and not to understand "...that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed”?   (see Mystery).   In the same way that when a beast becomes conditioned to its environment, when the mind of man is ruled over by his lower animal nature, he will believe virtually anything -- i.e., Pagan sacrifices, virgin sacrifices, belief in a warring and conquering god, belief in a vengeful god that is even more evil than the most vile of mankind.   As stated above, the Apostle Peter warns that the enigmas of the scriptures which he portrays as the "mystery of the books with the power to deceive" (see Power To Deceive), were intentionally inserted into the body of the text as a test to the reader.   Peter portrays the Gentiles as being easily deceived, because they are accustomed to believing bad things about God.   Thus, the god of the Old Testament has been insightfully portrayed as resembling the Wizard of OZ -- i.e., a magical nut case behind the curtain who liked physical circumcision, genocide of non-Jews including killing every woman & child -- a god who made man, then repented he even made man and killed everyone on earth but Noah and his immediate family -- a god who kills a man for trying to steady the ARK, a voodoo god who loves animal sacrifice and blood sprinkling, a god who sacrifices his son. The scriptures are very clear, it’s all allegorical about the Kingdom within.   The reader is warned  in John 6:63, that reading the scriptures literally has no profit at all (“the flesh profiteth nothing”) and leaves the reader spiritually bankrupt : "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life".

  The Key Of Knowledge And The Cosmology Of Mind: When the Key of Knowledge is properly applied to the scriptures, and they are turned within to unlock the inner "narrow strait gate" that bestows entrance into the Kingdom to the true seeker and disciple of TheWay, then the commandment at Genesis 1:28 to "Be fruitful and multiply..." pertains more to the expansion of one's own mind and consciousness, than to bringing forth children in the outer world.   And when the physical and its relationship to the spiritual as portrayed in the allegorical pattern of Heaven and Earth within the holographic Cosmology of Mind is understood, in conjunction with the spiritual meaning of the Final Temple is perceived in its true spiritual meaning as the Fulfillment of the Law and the Commandment that "...We cannot atone for our shortcomings by sacrificing animals, but we can sacrifice our inner animals—our hormones, our lusts, our desires, our beastly compulsions. We cannot find G-d in Jerusalem; we must find Him in us" (quote from AskMoses.com at The Final Temple ) is the Fulfillment of the Commandment in Genesis 1:28 to "...fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth" -- and the whole account of the building of the Temple is in reality an allegorical portrayal of the Spiritual Transformation of self as required by Paul in the words: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV).    And what are the elements of mind and being of man's lower earthly nature that must be put to death?  To the above commandment Paul states to abstain from: "...sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator'” (Col 3:5-10 NIV).   Indicating, that if you express the lower animal appetites of the physical in a carnal manner -- i.e., "...our hormones, our lusts, our desires, our beastly compulsions"  -- “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).   

With respect to the Cosmology of Mind and the End Times and predictions of a coming Armageddon, when these predictions are properly understood, what they portray is "…all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs" (Matt 24:8 RSV - see Armageddon Lost - The Process Of Becoming Born Again).    And how can this next stage of birth be brought about and achieved?   Again, returning to Genesis and the reality of mind and spirit as found in the words: "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Gen 1:27 KJV).   Fortunately, while many important spiritual teachings that the secular Church under Pagan Rome did not understand and agree with were removed, but this most important teaching on the coming of the Kingdom within the mind and being of the disciple has been preserved in the Second Epistle of Clement where it is stated: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour, the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.    How can  "...the male with the female [be] neither male nor female’”?    The answer: When the two become "one flesh" within a Spiritual Divine Marriage -- which holographically merges the male-linear of the husband with the feminine-intuitive of the wife into a spiritual embryo in the pattern of the physical embryo that becomes a fetus (see The Holographic Pattern Of Sex).    This interaction between man and woman, has the ability to develop the feminine-intuitive within the mind and being of the man, which in turn is the environment though which he can begin to seek Wholeness -- and it is this necessary Wholeness that is portrayed in the words: "And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician; but they that are sick" (Luke 5:32)  

Jesus' statement that unless you "turn about" and become as a little child that you can never enter the Kingdom, has perpetually confused the vast majority of Christians.   Yet, the relationship of the child to the above words that the Kingdom can only come "...'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’” is further clarified in the 22^nd saying in the Gospel Of Thomas: "Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom. They said to him, Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom? Jesus said to them, When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."   
The reality of how and when the Kingdom will come within the Mind and Being of the disciple in relation to the above statement that the seeker must reform what is portrayed in Adam and Eve within one's self into One -- i.e., "...when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female" -- only then can the true meaning of the scriptures as portrayed by the pre-Nicene Church Father Origen be understood when he wrote in De Principiis: “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?   Thus, the scriptures do not make reference to historical men and women, their marriages, the begetting of children, wars and conflicts -- or, for that matter, "...to any other histories whatever" -- because what appears to be historical accounts are in reality allegorical portrayals of the Laws, Forces and Realities of the seeker/disciples own Mind and Being.    And once again -- and most importantly -- in the merger of "...the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female". 

  Marriage - The Warning Of The Apostle - The Key Of Knowledge: If it is true as presented and explored in the above, that without the merger of what is portrayed as "...the male and the female [into] one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female", then the reality is that without understanding the true depth and potential of the relationship of male and female on a physical, mental and spiritual level of mind and being, no real progress can be made by the seeker/disciple.    And this includes not only the reason for the sexual prohibitions throughout the scriptures -- but just as important is the relationship of the physical with the uniting within the mind of man those spheres associated with the male and female that Jesus stated must be brought into oneness "...so that the male not be male nor the female female" -- in conjunction with the seeker/disciple's own birth in the Kingdom.   And without this essential knowledge, neither the reality of the true meaning of the scriptures, nor of the life that each person is living, will be understood -- and will remain an incomprehensible enigma.   

If it is true that there are higher realities of being that are totally inconceivable to the mind of the undeveloped faith-based believer (see  Mysteries Of The Gospel) -- and by virtue of their immaturity, the biblical authors were powerless to explain in detail many of the important Gospel teachings and concepts -- then the spiritually mature author's of the scriptures who do Know of these higher realities, remain virtually powerless to do anything more than to provide the people with a list of do's and don'ts, so that the immature Christians will be in a position where they are then better able to evolve to a mature understanding and comprehension of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay.  To totally ignore these do's and don'ts, without knowing the consequence of one's choices and actions, is paramount to walking out onto a freeway blindfolded. 

I always found it truly amazing that students of the scriptures could read the words of Paul where he states that the mind of the Christians who he had himself taught, would reject the truths pertaining to the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom as utter "foolishness" -- portraying himself as an "ambassador in bonds" who was unable to speak plainly -- and yet the implications of these words when read by the majority of readers, remain ignored to their own detriment.   Further, from this perspective, the best that Paul could do for those who he portrayed as entry-level Christians who were "babes in Christ", was to provide them a series of do's and don'ts that would assist them in evolving through the stages of spiritual immaturity that made it impossible for them to comprehend the True Gospel Meaning and Objectives. 

There are two ultra important possibilities that must be considered -- i.e., the position at least in cultural practice has been advanced by Bishop John Shelby Spong whose side has been portrayed as such: "Although he admits that the Bible is full of statements about sexual virtue, including prohibitions against premarital sex, adultery, and homosexuality, the authors of the Bible were hopelessly uninformed, lacking the benefits of modern research. One author in particular, the Apostle Paul, may have been driven by an inner struggle with his sexual identity"  (see Rescuing The Bible).   And the other side that Bishop Spong remains totally ignorant of, is the fact that the biblical authors were not only well informed as to the reason why the scriptures condemned the cultural immorality of the modern practice of sexually hooking-up outside of marriage, but that the facts could not be adequately explained because of the very reasons why Paul warned that the "natural" organic mind of man was too immature to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and man's ultimate spiritual reality which he must discover and manifest within his own life as he seeks to bring about the next stage of birth.    

I use Bishop Spong as an example of man's modern cultural folly, because I have in the past communicated directly with him (see Reply To Bishop Spong).   I also replied and communicated directly with Bishop Gene Robinson's office on his claim that the condemnation of homosexuality by Paul was based upon a prohibition of heterosexuals from engaging in same sex acts, and not homosexuals (see Reply: Same Sex Acts Unnatural For Heterosexuals) -- with Bishop Robinson making the profoundly ignorant statement that "It never occurred to anyone in ancient times that a certain minority of us would be born being affectionately-oriented to people of the same sex".   And as revealed in my reply to Bishop Robinson, what we are witnessing in the hostility to the position presented in the scriptures, is the result of error begetting even greater error -- and the fact that if you perpetually repeat a lie, that it will come to be accepted as factually true.   The Gospel teaches that the Kingdom must come within the body and mind of the individual disciple through the process of bringing about the next stage of birth through the merger of the male/female spheres of mind within the believer -- and the Spiritual Transformation is portrayed as that of a "child" who builds within themselves The Final Temple -- which permits the seeker/disciple to be born in the (inner) Kingdom.   And that in the application of the Key of Knowledge in the life of the seeker/disciple, the physical embodiment of man and woman is merely an extension of the holographic image of male and female spheres of mind which have been allegorically impressed into the forms of nature.   Therefore, the position of Bishop Robinson that "It never occurred to anyone in ancient times that a certain minority of us would be born being affectionately-oriented to people of the same sex" and the position of Bishop Spong that "...the authors of the Bible were hopelessly uninformed, lacking the benefits of modern research" -- reveals that nothing could be further from the truth.   And this fact is demonstrated conclusively at The Holographic Pattern Of Sex.    The fact that the biblical authors succeeded in bringing about that condition of mind and being where "...the male and the female [had to become merged into] one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female" -- and that this merger and transformation of mind and being provided the biblical authors the spiritual insight gained via an Anointed and Enlightened access to a Higher Source of Wisdom and Knowledge that remains beyond the reach of "natural" man in his organic physical condition of mind -- means that the cultural position of Bishops Spong and Robinson is not only gravely flawed, but can be portrayed as a sentence of death to those who embrace it.    But just as important is the fact that the idea that the sexual interaction of man and woman is only to propagate the species, is just as gravely flawed as that of Spong and Robinson who promote same-sex unions and gender neutrality.  

Reality is: Jesus portrayed this world as the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- but few students of the Bible even understand the reality that is being portrayed.   In the foregoing subheading entitled Why Is It Important To Understand The Inner Spiritual Meaning Of The Scriptures, I portray this world as a "Mental Womb" that is representative of the necessary environment to bring about the expansion and development of mind.   And in the same way that a fetus dwells in the darkness of its mother's womb -- not being able to perceive beyond the limitations of that initial womb of development, what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being is merely the reality of the next womb that mankind is born blind to the higher reality of -- and is unable to perceive beyond its physical limitations without bringing about the next stage of birth -- i.e., Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).     

In a parallel analogy, Plato portrayed this world as a Cave of Illusions (see Plato's Cave).   Unless you begin to understand why Jesus portrayed organic man as being blind to his own higher soul and spiritual reality, and why Plato portrayed everything that you think you see as illusion, then you will remain perpetually lost and mentally shackled and impaired.   Until it is understood that what man observes in the outer world is merely a Blueprint of Mind that is projected  into both the forms of Nature -- as well as the pattern of the whole which is holographically replicated into the Cosmology of mind within each person, no real progress towards escaping these conditions of mental impairment can be achieved.    Further, to ignore the Gospel declaration that Jesus taught those who were portrayed as In The House, totally different than those who are portrayed as being "without" or on the "outside", means that such a person has shackled themselves within a self-imposed prison of absolute ignorance.   And while this is of the utmost importance on a number of levels that organic man has not even yet considered -- one such reality is seen in the fact that the same relationship exists with respect to our own Source as being constituted in the (Etheric) Field which surrounds the physical body-vessel -- which means that the physical body that we do see and observe with our earthly senses, is in fact a projection of the Source which remains beyond our physical vision and ability to detect.   Further, the objectives of the author's of the Gospels was/is to seek the Truths in the underlying (Etheric) Field of the seeker/disciple, and the true meaning of the scriptures when decoded with the proper application of the Key of Knowledge, was and remains the revelation of the necessary knowledge with respect to the Forces and Laws that are active in the unseen (Etheric) Field of one's own Mind and Being -- presented to the seeker/disciple in what is called the allegorical language of the soul -- and that the same allegorical symbolism is exactly the same as the allegorical symbolism that is used by the Author of Nature who embedded the language of the soul into the forms of nature in the outer world -- and this is in fact the reason why the Church Father Origen stated with respect to the application of the Key of Knowledge to both the scriptures and all of organic forms of nature, 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.  

  The Heightening And Expansion Of Mind: If I pose the question: Do you know the purpose and objectives of the original teachings of Jesus and TheWay?   An important insight into the very essence, purpose and higher spiritual objectives of the original teachings of TheWay is contained in an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica under the heading, The History of Christian Mysticism, where it reads: “Although the essence of mysticism is the sense of contact with the transcendent, mysticism in the history of Christianity should not be understood merely in terms of special ecstatic experiences but as part of a religious process lived out within the context of the Christian community. From this perspective mysticism played a vital part in the early church. Early Christianity was a religion of the spirit that expressed itself in the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.     What is expressed in these words is of the utmost importance.   Why?   Because the original teachings of Jesus was not the blind faith and belief in a prophet or god-man -- but rather, the means to transform all Christian disciples of TheWay into prophets and mystics as demonstrated in the words: "...From this perspective mysticism played a vital part in the early church. Early Christianity was a religion of the spirit that expressed itself in the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.   But, we must then pose the question: Just what is a "...religion of the spirit"?    Like an astronaut who travels beyond the limits of the earth's atmosphere into outer space, a spiritual religion prepares the seeker/disciple to transcend the barrier of this physical world, and enter into what the biblical authors portrayed as the Kingdom of God which Jesus taught was within us.   But to accomplish this spiritual transcendence, you had to first prepare the physical body to make it an environment that would permit "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” to be brought about -- and this requires a great amount of effort and preparation.     And in the same way that charlatans peddle get-rich schemes which rob the people of their wealth and prosperity, wolves in sheep's attire peddled short-cut schemes -- and it was these counterfeit shepherds who seduced the naive into handing over their money and support so they could live lucratively off the collection plate.  

The spiritual Christians who followed in TheWay and prepared themselves to transcend the natural physical limitations of the body, possessed the Divine Knowledge of the Kingdom which they had succeeded in entering.   And the Spiritual Christians were opposed by those who portrayed themselves as Orthodox -- who more often than not were charlatans who for the sake of mammon and the political power of this world, ardently opposed the Spiritual Christians because they represented a direct threat to their base of money and political power.  

  Intuitive Mind Vs Linear-Rational: The question can be rightfully asked: If the above is true, then why can't mystics and enlightened spiritual men speak plainly, instead of using the enigma of allegorical scriptures?   The answer can only be understood as the seeker/disciple begins to fulfill the ancient adage to Know Thyself -- and when the Cosmology of Mind is rightly understood, the truth and the reality of self that the disciple seeks, already exists within them.   And thus, what we are presented with are a number of paradoxes that have confronted man since he first stepped foot on the earth.   Thus, these proverbial questions must be confronted:  Is the mind of a child empty?   Or, does a great source of knowledge already exist within the mind of the child that must be tapped into?   Do you instruct a child through rote programming in the manner of our educational systems today?   Or do you guide the child into an environment of self-discovery?      

Mystics have long warned mankind that the reality of this world of appearances is not at all what is seems to be through the perception of man's physical eyes and senses -- i.e., that there is a great deal more that man's senses and perception cannot detect or even imagine.   And this same enigma of the limits of man's physical senses was noted by Albert Einstein who concluded with respect to man's dilemma when he 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."   

In view of the fact that our culture neither understands the intuitive spheres of mind -- neither do they understand the Source of knowledge that the intuitive spheres of mind has the potential to tap into -- mankind has for all intent and purposes shackled himself to a condition of profound self-imposed ignorance with respect to a higher reality that he does not at all understand.   And what the Mystic has long warned mankind, is that because of the shackles imposed upon mankind by his traditional religious, philosophical, cultural and educational institutions which "...have created a society that honors the [rational] servant and has forgotten [and suppressed the development of] the [intuitive] gift" -- thus, blinding mankind to the underlying cause of all that man sees and experiences in this world, man remains perpetually lost and blind in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- or what the philosopher portrayed in the analogy of the illusions of Plato's Cave (see Cave) .  

That the whole of our culture is based exclusively upon the very limited vision of the linear-rational mind which strives to overpower and inhibit the development of the intuitive gift, is why the Apostle Paul warned "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world..." (Col 2:8 NIV).   Thus, where the biblical authors portray what they call the "testimony" of Christ as the entry-level language of allegorical symbols that are intended to act as a catalyst in the beginning development of the entry-level believing Christian, the objective is to bring about the necessary maturity and transformation in the development of the latent intuitive spheres of mind, that enables the seeker/disciple of TheWay to fulfill the higher spiritual objectives of the Gospel -- as presented in the above words of the Britannica: “Although the essence of mysticism is the sense of contact with the transcendent, mysticism in the history of Christianity should not be understood merely in terms of special ecstatic experiences but as part of a religious process lived out within the context of the Christian community. From this perspective mysticism played a vital part in the early church. Early Christianity was a religion of the spirit that expressed itself in the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.   That this spiritual objective and body of esoteric teachings became lost when the Church came under the dominion of Pagan Rome -- which was the primary reason why our Constitutional Framers inhibited the government from interfering in the practice of religion -- means that the spiritual objective of the practice of religion is in the development of the seeker/disciple to utilize those higher intuitive areas of the mind that is able to connect with the inner transcendent -- i.e., "...contact with the transcendent [that was] part of a religious process lived out within the context of the Christian community. From this perspective mysticism played a vital part in the early church. Early Christianity was a religion of the spirit that expressed itself in the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.    Which means that the true objective of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay is "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” through the development of the intuitive centers of the mind which Einstein correctly portrays as "...a sacred gift".

The very fact that it was the objective of the original teachings associated with the historical man Jesus known as TheWay, to bring about this condition of enlightenment about in the life of the individual Christian believer, means that there exists the means to bring this enlightened reality of mind about.   Which means that the question then becomes not if -- but rather, how to bring this "...heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” about in the life of the believer as he progresses down the path of TheWay?   Certainly not through the further development of the mind through the linear rational servant.   In the picture at the right -- "the frontispiece to her translation of Newton, Émilie du Châtelet appears as Voltaire's muse, reflecting Newton's heavenly insights down to Voltaire" (see Voltair) -- what is personified in the term muse, is always representative of a feminine source of wisdom -- and is very much an allegorical personification of the intuitive aspects of one's own mind that provides insight and access to the higher source of knowledge and wisdom within one's self.   In the image of the three muses at the left, in Greek writings these would be representative of the personification of the intuitive aspects of mind which must be developed in order to begin to tap into and access man's inner Source of Mind and Being.   And in this respect such biblical figures as Mary Magdalene is not the personification of an historical person -- but rather, the purification, development and raising up of the (feminine) intuitive aspects of the disciples own mind.    In the Gospels associated with Mary Magdalene it is written: “She speaks to the other disciples about Jesus and what she’s seen, and Peter says, ‘I don’t believe the Lord said these things. These are certainly strange ideas.’ And she says, ‘Well, do you think I made them up? Do you think I’m lying about the Lord?’ ”   In this allegorical representation, the linear-rational aspect of mind is represented in Peter's inability to comprehend what the feminine-intuitive as represented in the allegorical personification of Mary Magdalene reveals.   And since these intuitive visions, impressions and wisdom does not support the linear reasoning of the masculine vision of this world and Creation, in most people they are rejected. 

In the introduction to the book Secrets of Mary Magdalene, Prof. Elain Pageles writes and quotes the Gospel of Philip: Simultaneously, the Gospel of Philip celebrates Mary Magdalene as manifesting the divine spirit, which this gospel calls the “virgin who came down” from heaven. When Christians spoke of Jesus “born from a virgin,” this author agrees—but refuses to take it literally. So some people, he says, take this literally to mean that Jesus’ mother became pregnant apart from any man, apart from sexual intercourse. But this, he says, is the “faith of fools” who fail to comprehend spiritual matters (although, as we note, it can be seen in the birth narratives offered in the New Testament gospels of Matthew and Luke). Instead, continues the Gospel of Philip, Jesus was born physically, just as all humans, as the son of biological parents. The difference, says the author of this gospel, that he was also “born again” in baptism--born spiritually to become the son of the Father above, and of the heavenly Mother, the Holy Spirit.   That one of the primary objectives of this life is to bring about and achieve the next stage of birth -- a non-physical birth which is allegorically portrayed as a Virgin Birth -- should be of primary importance to all people.   

In the same way that Peter as representing the (male) linear-rational spheres of mind states of the intuitive visions and wisdom of Mary Magdalene:  "...These are certainly strange ideas", it is a fact that it is the lopsided development of what Einstein portrayed as the linear rational servant that inhibits the development of the intuitive gift -- i.e., as seen in Einstein's statement that “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”     Without the balanced development of the intuitive, the linear rational which only senses outwardly, arrives as a point where it becomes what can be portrayed as flat-lined -- which in turn inhibits the further development of the linear rational servant from itself maturing beyond organic limitations.   And herein lies the great obstacle to human development that linear-intellectuals don't at all understand -- i.e., the reality that the linear programming of the mind which is the agenda of our educational systems -- including the reading of books and traditional study -- only serves to inhibit the development of the intuitive spheres of mind -- and it is the lack of balance between the inward looking intuitive and the outward looking linear-rational that inhibits the development of the mind beyond a certain very shallow organic physical level of maturity.  

The problem is seen in the fact that the linear rational servant can only look outwardly -- and not only remains totally ignorant of an inner reality that it is blind to -- but it demands that all of mankind ignore and even reject the higher causal reality that can only be sensed and understood through the development of the intuitive centers of mind.   Like the tip of the proverbial iceberg, what is observed protruding out of the water is very small in relation to the immense body of ice that is beyond man's normal scope of vision lying beneath the water line.   And because our culture and linear learning environment actually inhibits the development of the intuitive, it remains atrophied and latently embryonic.   This is seen in the fact that when the leaders of the Jews (Pharisees) asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come upon the earth in the manner that they believed it would, he told them that it would never come upon the earth so as to be seen with their eyes (that look outwardly), because the Kingdom already exists within them (see http://GateOfEden.com ) -- and it is accessed through the development of the intuitive spheres of mind that are positioned to look inwardly -- which then must be balanced with the outward looking rational linear.

In the parable of the prodigal son who is subject to the limited perception and understanding of what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness), man dwells in a world of illusions (see Plato's Cave) that are an allusion of mind impressed into the allegorical images of nature.   In her book, The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle, author Karen L. King writes: "…the Gospel of Mary communicates a vision that the world is passing away, not toward a new creation or a new world order, but toward the dissolution of an illusory chaos of suffering, death, and illegitimate domination. The Saviour has come so that each soul might discover its own true spiritual nature, its ‘root’ in the Good, and return to the place of eternal rest beyond the constraints of time, matter, and false morality."    The error of Karen King is typical, in that in her failure to properly apply the Key of Knowledge, she perceives Mary Magdalene as a flesh and blood woman, not understanding that Mary is representative of the intuitive spheres of mind that must be evolved and raised up, in order to tap into and connect with man's inner Source of Being -- and ultimately the True Prophet.

  Spiritual (Intuitive) Development: One of the primary objectives of the Original Scriptures was the development of the Intuitive spheres of mind that brought about Enlightenment through the eventual Anointing (Messiah/Christ) of the Mind -- which enabled the seeker/disciple to transcend the natural barriers of the physical, and be taught directly by God.   But to even begin to accomplish this spiritual transformation of the body and physical consciousness, those spheres of mind associated with the Intuitive had to be developed and then integrated with the rational-linear at a higher level of man's consciousness and being than his normal organic consciousness would naturally permit.    Thus, in their original condition before being corrupted by the Church (see http://BibleCorruption.com ), the scriptures were intended to begin the process of "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” (see Expansion Of Mind) that would enable the seeker/disciple to become enlightened 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 the historical man 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 ultimately, there is Only One True Teacher, and that is the True Prophet -- often referred to as the Logos, the Son of God, and the Teacher of Righteousness.    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”.  (see The Search For The True Prophet/Logos/Son Of God Within One's Own Mind And Being).     

If we pose the question as to how blind to man's higher soul and spiritual reality the linear-rational mind is?   Both the blindness and mental impairment and dysfunction is so severe, that the person who is limited to normal linear reasoning is portrayed as being dead in the scriptures (see The Dead Know Nothing).    Thus, the lopsided development of the linear-rational which is brought about in our cultural educational systems by pseudo-intellectuals who only utilize and develop the linear-outward spheres of mind -- and by the very nature and purpose of instruction, totally suppress the intuitive spheres of mind -- inhibit the whole development of mind to the degree that the students become intellectually flat-lined and totally incapable of grasping higher understanding of both self, and the life the person is living.   That in their original condition prior to being corrupted by the Church (see http://BibleCorruption.com ), the scriptures which are allegorical (see An Inconvenient Truth) contained important teachings and catalysts that developed the intuitive spheres of mind -- catalysts which began the process of connecting the seeker/disciple with both the higher reality of their soul and what the original disciples called The True Prophet who was and is the One Teacher that Jesus said to seek out -- it was this enlightening of the mind of the seeker/disciple that was the very purpose of the teachings of Jesus which were originally called TheWay.    And thus, the development of the intuitive by virtue of the important teaching that were removed by the Church, and the catalysts of the allegorical scriptures, brought about the fulfillment of the original objectives portrayed in the Encyclopedia Britannica under the heading, The History of Christian Mysticism, where it reads: “Although the essence of mysticism is the sense of contact with the transcendent, mysticism in the history of Christianity should not be understood merely in terms of special ecstatic experiences but as part of a religious process lived out within the context of the Christian community. From this perspective mysticism played a vital part in the early church. Early Christianity was a religion of the spirit that expressed itself in the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.    

How blind to the true meaning of the scriptures and the realities of life is the linear-rational mind which is associated with the pseudo-intellectualism that is promoted by our culture and taught in our schools today?  In the subheading of Flawed Human (Linear) Reasoning in the article An Inconvenient Truth it reads that: And that human reasoning, the quasi-religious dogma of man's religions and his philosophical schools of thought, are always in error by virtue of their lack of balanced development between the linear and intuitive spheres of mind -- which lack of balance invokes a blindness to the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God -- which reality Paul presented in the words: "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world..." (Col 2:8 NIV).    And the degree that the seeker of Truth is to abandon and reject the dogmatic and philosophical (linear) reasoning of this world, is further presented in the words of the Apostle Peter who is quoted in the writings of his disciple Clement: "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind. For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". (see The Spiritual Disenfranchisement Of The Mind).     

If neither the true meaning of the allegorical scriptures, or the realities of life itself, can be understood using "...the understanding of our own mind" when man is dependent upon the linear-rational spheres of mind, only then can man begin to understand why the Apostle Paul warned that the believer should not depend upon human logic and reasoning "...which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world..." -- which to their own detriment the Church has ignored this warning.     What the Apostle Paul portrays as "...the basic principles of this world..." is the linear-reasoning which 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 which is born out of the blindness of human linear reasoning and logic.   A blindness portrayed by William A. Tiller 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” (see Science Proves Religion).   So the question becomes will mankind's rejection of the reality portrayed by the modern physicist -- as well as his abandonment with the original purpose of the Gospel teachings -- cause him to go the way of the dinosaur and bring him to the precipice where his reliance upon linear-reasoning has placed him "...in real danger of self-extermination”? 

   The Design And Objective Of The Scriptures: By design, the objective of the scriptures is to bring about the necessary balance and development of the linear-rational and intuitive spheres of mind -- which balance permits both the linear and the intuitive to evolve and develop beyond the natural organic barriers that are supported by the physical body-vessel -- and ultimately enabling the seeker/disciple to tap into an Inner Source of Knowledge that is beyond normal human understanding.    While it is the linear spheres of mind that read the literal text of the scriptures, the linear must rely upon the intuitive by utilizing the allegorical symbols as a catalyst to bring about a higher perception and understanding of the written text.   What this means is that the linear which makes sense of what is read, is reliant upon the development of the intuitive to understand the meaning of the allegorical symbols -- and it is the balance of the two spheres of mind that bring about the necessary evolution which was portrayed in the above as "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” (see Expansion Of Mind).   The Objective of the scriptures and the Original Teachings of TheWay was to bring about the spiritual transformation of the seeker/disciple -- and this was accomplished through the interaction of the linear and intuitive through the catalyst of the allegorical symbols of the scriptures -- symbols which portray the very Universal Laws and Forces of Mind and Being -- which not only evolve and mature both the linear and the intuitive spheres of mind -- enabling what is portrayed as the Third-Force of Mind to connect with man's inner Source of Being.       

What is necessary is the interaction of the linear and intuitive on equal footing and importance -- one not dominating the other -- with this interaction being carried out within the catalysts of the Laws and Forces of Mind that are manifest in the allegorical symbolism of the scriptures -- which interaction has the potential to evolve both the linear and the intuitive -- manifesting a higher and enlightened vision, understanding and knowledge of self and Creation, in the Third-Force that is said to make the two, "one flesh" in the higher reality of soul and spirit.   Where it sounds the warning in the foregoing that "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind" -- because the linear spheres of mind that are bound to this physical world are always limited in the spectrum of understanding what is beyond its perception and comprehension -- and when the linear mind attempts to interpret the scriptures which are not designed for this purpose, the conclusions are always in grave error.     And all the countless sects, opinions, religious philosophies and doctrinal positions, are all based upon this grave error -- which is the reason why the Apostle Peter further warns (see foregoing): "...For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without".   The natural human linear understanding of the scriptures is not only always in error -- and the beginning of an enlightened understanding of both the scriptures and life itself, starts with a condition of Wholeness of Mind functioning within the balance of the Laws in the environment that permits "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.

In order to be effective, this process of transformation must be brought about within the environment of body/mind that is allegorically portrayed as the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed.   This, to the degree, that the Gospel account warns that if you fail to understand and put the teachings and concepts of this parable into practice, that you will not be able to understand any part of the true spiritual meaning of the scriptures -- and/or, even life itself -- i.e., “Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?”.    The application of what Jesus portrayed as the Key of Knowledge which has the potential to unlock the inner "narrow strait gate" to the Kingdom within, is brought about through the process of turning the scriptures within one's self as the seeker/disciple begins to consciously interact with the Laws and Forces of Mind that control the seeker/disciples spiritual condition of mind and being -- thereby evolving and transcending the physical through the experientially gained esoteric knowledge of the Cosmology of Mind in the endeavor to Know Thyself.    Thus, the profound statement preserved 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".   When properly understood, the Design and Objective of the Scriptures is to use as a catalyst to initiate and bring about this self knowledge that without which, the person is portrayed as "...dwelling in poverty and it is you who are that poverty..."

  The Biblical Code: It is important to understand the reality presented in the Gospels when Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables -- a system of allegories designed to conceal the inner meaning from the multitude of hearers, while permitting only a select group of hearers to understand the esoteric truths that were being revealed (see Mystery Of The Gospel).   And when his disciples asked Jesus why he spoke in enigmatic parables, and did not speak plainly to the people?   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).   The word "...outside" , denotes those who Jesus portrayed as dwelling in the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness).   And the word translated secret, is the same word translated mystery at the foregoing link ( Mystery Of The Gospel), and makes reference to an esoteric knowledge that is beyond man's organic "natural" comprehension, is a reality that few modern believers or the critics of religion have been able to come to terms with (see An Inconvenient Truth).   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 teachings of Jesus, the Wycliffe Bible 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...”

Why and how is "...spiritual understanding ...restricted to those who have become spiritual”???   Because higher spiritual perception and understanding is dependent upon Wholeness of Mind.   The physical consciousness of the body only supports the development of mind that pertains to the physical.   The linear spheres of mind in their natural organic state, can only assess outward phenomena -- phenomena that the linear spheres of mind can only perceive a very limited and partial perception of.   But even more importantly, when Jesus is portrayed as only speaking in parables to the multitude of hears -- which means that among those who are portrayed as the multitudes, those who possessed the innate ability to understand the deeper spiritual meaning of the parable, were those who also possessed the innate potential to be awakened by the parable -- while the majority of the hears remained bound by human organic reasoning that made it impossible for them to understand the true meaning of the parabolic teachings.   And while the reader should be moved to immediately question why the few possessed an ability to perceive and understand that the vast majority of the multitude of hearers did not -- few students of the scriptures even possess the insight to question what makes these few different from the rest of the multitude of hearers?   In fact, the modern Christian who is anchored by the fourth century manmade dogma of the pagan Church of Rome, is simply incapable of answering this ultra-important question.    Where it can be said that the 4^th century Church of Constantine put to death the Spirit of the Church (see above The Corruption Of The Church), it's Spiritual Castration which totally alienated the congregation of believers from comprehending even what was left of a corrupted and spiritually sanitized New Testament (see Bible Corruption), was implemented in the 6^th century.   As an example of how the Christian world was literally forced to adhere to the dogma of the secular priests and emperors, when the doctrine of the pre-existent soul was outlawed by the Emperor Justinian, the Britannica confirms that the emperor then forced his will upon the Church when he "...banished the pope to Egypt , and afterwards to an island, until he accepted the Council, which he ultimately did" (see Teachings On Pre-Existent Soul ).    After relenting to the will of the emperor, and finely accepting the decree of the emperor after seven months of imprisonment, it is reported that the pope met with an untimely death before he could even return to the Vatican.    And while it is true that most of the modern-day doctrines of the Church was forced upon the Christian world in this same violent manner -- and the vast majority of modern-day believers are all victims of what has come to be known as the Stockholm Syndrome -- the removal of this important original teaching has had such far ranging implications, that it has become impossible for modern believers and critics alike to even begin to get a valid sense of the original Gospel meaning and objectives.    The modern Church is faith-based -- founded upon blind-faith -- because the reader lacks the necessary tools to even get a sense of the very purpose of the original teachings of TheWay.   And this secular imposed intervention where the Christian world was literally forced to succumb to the decrees of the emperors, has had the far ranging effect of spiritually castrating the Church.  

Without an understanding of the journey of the preexistent soul and the manner in which the universal symbols in both the scriptures and the parables can act as catalysts which awaken the hearer or reader, it is impossible for the reader/hearer to comprehend even how this system of allegory and parabolic instruction works.   And in not understanding how the system of instruction works, it is not at all understood how the symbolism employed within the parables and scriptures were designed to act as catalysts which initiated impressions and intuitive knowledge from within the mind of the person -- originating from the other side of the barrier between the person in this physical world, and their higher soul-self that dwells in a non-physical spiritual world (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image) -- and those who have in their more distant past developed their mind and being through "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” (see The Heightening And Expansion Of Mind) -- are in the present able to receive and comprehend the spiritual meaning of the symbols of both the parables and scriptures.    Which means that everything is dependent upon the necessary development of mind -- and especially those intuitive spheres which enable the person to connect with their soul and inner source of being that exists beyond the barrier of the physical -- and this development through "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” is necessary to fulfill the Gospel teaching on The One Teacher which the disciple Peter portrayed as The True Prophet (see Taught In Parables - The Key Of Knowledge).    And that the whole of this world which is blind to the cause and the Laws that bring about and orchestrates all events in this world -- a condition of blind ignorance that Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- is what necessitates the opening the inner door to learn the true meaning of the events of this world, as well as the true meaning of the catalyst symbols used in the scriptures -- i.e., the warning of Peter: "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind. For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without" (see Flawed Human Linear Reasoning).   What this means is that no one -- i.e., either believer or unbeliever -- will understand the true spiritual meaning of the scriptures -- a meaning that is beyond organic human comprehension -- unless the individual person has been enlightened by what the disciples portrayed as the One Teacher and True Prophet, as to the true meaning.   Why?   Because "...spiritual understanding is restricted to those who have become spiritual...”  -- and the very purpose of both the scriptures, and the Laws that control all events in this world, is to bring this higher understanding about in the life of the worthy seeker/disciple. 

The Apostle Peter warned the seeker/disciple not to rely upon human perception and comprehension in their quest to understand the meaning of the scriptures -- and it is this same rejection of human linear reasoning and the quest to learn from the True Prophet the meaning of the scriptures, that develops the intuitive spheres of mind and prepares the seeker/believer to understand the Forces and Laws that bring about and orchestrate all events of this world.   In the same way that we have the ability to learn and acquire the ability to read -- and we do so by learning to interpret the symbols of letters and words -- all of life is written in a language that we must learn to interpret the symbols of -- and I often portray this as the language of the soul that the Key of Knowledge must be applied to.    Because the Atheist and/or the linear-rational minded person who sees only the outer physical aspects of this material world, remains blind to both the causal factors of what is experienced -- as well as the Laws and Forces which present all events to each person -- and remains ignorant of the choices presented to him/her within the labyrinth of one's scripted life -- the Atheist, the linear-rational, as well as the person who remains undeveloped,  believes these encounters are the result of accident, luck, the unknown, human nature, animal compulsion and/or natural occurrences and selection.   This is of course a lie promoted by blind pseudo-authorities who have been alienated from their own higher soul-nature -- and as such, they lead the people in the wrong direction.   Those few who develop the intuitive spheres of mind are able to not only escape what Jesus portrayed as The Prison and the blind ignorance of the Outer Darkness -- a condition whereby the person sees only what is portrayed as the illusions of Plato's Cave -- but also perceive the causal factors of each encounter -- and the Laws which present to us our choices within the labyrinth.  Part of us -- i.e., our higher soul-self that is not manifest in this world -- not only knows the meaning of the symbols of life -- but also the causal factors initiated by the Laws which are presented to us in the manner of a labyrinth that scripts every aspect of our life.  

The purpose of this world is the evolution and advancement of the soul of man -- and one of the primary objectives that is necessary to bring this evolution about in the reality of the individual, is to develop the intuitive spheres of mind that permits one to perceive and comprehend what lies beyond the curtain of the "outer darkness", and begin to develop the ability to understand the whole encounter of life that the individual experiences.   The scriptures are written in a series of allegorical symbols (see An Inconvenient Truth) that act as a catalyst which has the potential to bridge the inner divide between the person we are in this world, and our higher soul-reality -- and as the person begins to advance beyond the physical organic mind, they begin to perceive that all of material nature is itself imbued with symbols of mind and consciousness impressed into the forums of nature that we interact with (see The Allusion Of The Forms Of Matter).     And when it is understood that the Source of all that we see in the material world is in the (un-seen Etheric) Field that modern physicist have now proven surrounds all physical forms in this world (see The Folly Of Darwinism -- and Science Proves Religion) -- then as the seeker begins to unlock the allegorical language of the scriptures which act as catalysts within his own mind and being, the same esoteric reality of nature itself begins to unfold to the mind of the disciple of TheWay -- i.e., (5) Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you..." (Gospel of Thomas).
