"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".

“…if anyone thinks that he knows anything,

he knows nothing yet as he ought to know”

While All Religions Seek God

It Is Impossible To Know God

Without First Knowing Self

Jesus Taught That There Is Only One True Path To God

This Is True - And An Integral Part Of This Path, Is To Know Thyself

None Of The Systems Of Religion Today Possess This Important Esoteric Knowledge Of Self

Knowledge That Was Thrown Away By Counterfeit Priests And Pseudo-Shepherds

 

 

 

It Is Written That If The Sacred Knowledge Of The New Covenant Becomes Lost,

 "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error"

(Epistle Of Peter And James)

And this Has Been Man's Reality For Seventeen Hundred Years

  Know Thyself: The third saying of the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas states:  "When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."    What is the meaning of the words: "...then you will become known"???  `How can it even be suggested that God does not know us?   Yet, these words were not only intentionally written in this manner -- but they present an important series of foundational facts that few people who claim to know God understand the reality of.   And in assessment of the world's religions that exist today: Regardless of the religion you are affiliated with, the fact that you do not understand the underlying reality that is portrayed in these words, is an indication that you are spiritually flat-lined, and can make little to no progress beyond your present point.  To a degree these same words are repeated in Jesus' statement that should be heeded by every person professing to believe:  "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the person who does what my Father in heaven wants.  Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we force out demons and do many miracles by the power and authority of your name?' Then I will tell them publicly, 'I've never known you. Get away from me, you evil people.'  (Mat: 7:21-23).    Thus, even if you profess to be a believer who in the name of Jesus has performed miracles, cast out demons, and prophesied in the name of Christ, the Bible warns that unless you fulfill the Will of the Father, that Jesus will state of you that he has "never known you" -- and for many of the same reasons that it can be said that you are "not known by God".    And when it is realized that the Christian Church has totally rejected the original teachings and objectives set forth in the original Gospel accounts --  that what the original disciples professed as Truth has not only been rejected by the Church, but has been condemned as heresy -- and when it is realized that the Church even corrupted the original words spoken to man directly by God to mankind in the Gospels as heresy (see The Ten Words) -- changing them, in order to make the Gospels support Roman Pagan doctrines of belief -- then it can truly be recognized that not only has the Church rejected the Will of the Father -- but to those who profess to believe, and yet they believe the doctrines of Pagan Rome, that the Jesus they call upon has said to them: "Get away from me, you evil people ...I've never known you"    Again, from the Epistles of Paul is this declaration: "But the man who loves God is known by God" (1 Cor 8:3 NIV) -- which indicates that those who fail to do the Will of God, cannot love God, and therefore is not even "known by God".   And since few people can fulfill the words spoken by Jesus -- i.e., "When you come to know yourselves..." -- it also remains true that they are not known in the way that they imagine -- i.e.,  "...then you will become known" 

 

The Folly Of Man's Religions: When it states in the Gospel of Thomas that only a select group of people who fulfill certain requirements are known -- i.e., "...then you will become known" -- the vast majority of believers from the world's religions will with little thought and contemplation attempt to simply dismiss these words.    And these words are spoken from a Universal perspective, and apply to all people of all religions who have failed to fulfill the Laws in accord with the original objectives of the very purpose of Creation itself.   Christianity, which is the source of these words, will immediately dismiss what is being portrayed -- attributing them to some Gnostic delusion -- and this they will do to their own spiritual demise.   Much of the New Age believe in the Collective Consciousness -- and they therefore conclude that they, being a direct expression of God, are in fact God manifest in the physical.    Thus, it is a harsh and needless reality that these words are as true today, as when they were originally spoken -- i.e., the "...people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6 NKJ).   If it is indeed true that Jesus warned his disciples and followers that only "when you come to know yourselves, then you will become known...", then it is also true that "...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).    And if we dismiss the source as being drawn from a writing that is not approved by the Church -- alleged to be Gnostic (Spiritual Knowledge) -- then to our own dilemma we can see the same exact teaching and ignored reality portrayed in an Epistle of Paul where he warns: "But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?" (Gal 4:9 NKJ).   Thus the looming question:  HOW CAN WE NOT BE KNOWN BY GOD???   Having demonstrated the relevance between the same exact reality presented in both the Gospel of Thomas, and Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, it is important to be cognizant of the very opening statement in Thomas: "These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.  And he said, Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death.  Jesus said, Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."    What most people who read these words fail to understand is the fact that, what is presented in the opening statement of Thomas is not a series of secret teachings in the words of man that one must learn and be taught the meaning of in order to enter into the Life that Jesus revealed to mankind -- but rather, the true meaning of not only the Gospel of Thomas, but of all Gospels and scriptures, cannot be known, perceived, understood and comprehended, without Personally Experiencing the Inner Kingdom (Lk 17:20-21) by walking in TheWay (see http://GateOfEden.com ).    To find the true meaning of the sayings of Thomas, the seeker must through their own spiritual experiences, begin to draw near to the Inner Kingdom.    From a biblical Christian perspective, what this means is that only those who separate themselves from the thinking, mindset and lifestyle of this world -- do as Jesus commanded, and pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay -- will become Known By God by entering through the "narrow way" within, into the Kingdom.   All the other people will remain the lost prodigal sons and daughters who are portrayed as being spiritually dead (see Dead Men Walking), and under the control of what Jesus portrayed as the Citizen of the Far Country -- which Paul called the god of this world.

 

  Always To Wander In Error: A long ignored writing is the Epistle of Peter And James -- and it is ignored largely, because it makes a number of profound statements that all but the very few people who enter in at the "narrow way", will immediately dismiss -- once again, to their own demise.   Speaking of the more spiritual scriptures that were never given into the hands of either the Jews or Gentiles (see Most Sacred Gospels), Peter states to James: "Hear me, brethren and fellow-servants. If we should give the books to all indiscriminately, and they should be corrupted by any daring men, or be perverted by interpretations, as you have heard that some have already done, it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error.   Wherefore it is better that they should be with us, and that we should  communicate them with all the fore-mentioned care to those who wish to live piously, and to save others."

How can this possibly be?   How can it be stated that if these more spiritual scriptures that were never given into the hands of the converts, were to become lost or corrupted, that  "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error.???"   And the answer to the dilemma which is all but ignored by not only the modern Church, but the sincere seekers of all the world's religions, is found in the words of Paul that the people of this world are not even "...known by God."   And why, without the works and the knowledge that Jesus is making reference to, that it can be said that "...'I've never known you" -- even when you have called upon the name of the Lord with your lips, prophesized and performed many miracles in "...the power and authority of [the] name [of Christ].   And while many will reject and attempt to ignore this profound warning, it all goes back to Paul's statement that “…if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:2 NKJ).   And since most Christians believe that they need not know anything more than the historical Jesus, then they prove the words true even in our own time: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge"!!!

Few people understand the mandate to Know Thyself!   In explanation, lets add the statement in the Gospel of Thomas: "when you come to know yourselves, then you will become known..." -- and quoting at http://BeingOfLight.com : When God, in the words of St. Nazianzen, no longer is an “object of wonder”, but rather an “object of desire” -- and we, desiring to be purified from the defilements of this world, make ourselves fit vessels for the Lord to indwell, the Spirit, according to St. Nazianzen, reveals to us our true nature, and the revelation of this manifest Sacred Knowledge makes “us like God; so that when we have thus become like Himself, God may, to use a bold expression, hold converse with us as Gods, being united to us, and that perhaps to the same extent as He already knows those who are known to Him”. St. Nazianzen then writes that “the Divine Nature then is boundless and hard to understand” by those who are yet carnal and think as natural beings of this world.

Take note of the statement that God "...already knows those who are known to Him”.   Which invokes us to pose the question in light of the foregoing statement in the Gospel of Thomas and that of Paul: "But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?" (Gal 4:9 NKJ).  To even begin to understand why these statements were made -- and more importantly, why they are true -- it is imperative to possess the (1) esoteric knowledge of the Cosmology of one's own self and mind, and why it is written in the Gospel of Thomas: "...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty"; (2) and the reality of the Laws and the two very different Creation accounts in the Book of Genesis (see The Two Creation Accounts In Genesis ); and (3) the higher reality and journey of the soul (or soul-self) that does not incarnate into this world, and exists across the spectrum of many levels and dimensions of being which prompted St. Teresa of Avila to write that "The soul...", writes St. Teresa, is as “a castle made of a single diamond… in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions” (Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila). And this reality is explored in great depth in the subheading Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image, which continues into the subheadings that follow that explore the Matrix of mind.

While Creator-God brought forth all souls in the beginning -- and these souls were themselves sparks of the Divine -- i.e., quoting from The Allegorical Fall Of Man: In the beginning all souls existed as sparks of the Divine. In what I portray as the realm of souls, each individual soul would be perceived as a weak flickering light -- like a distant star. Quoting The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia under the heading of Souls, Transmigration of: “The doctrine of transmigration of souls, which was especially accepted by the Karaites… is generally attacked by Jewish philosophers, but is defended by Isaac Abravanel and Manasseh ben Israel. It appears often in Cabala; it is found in organized form in the Zohar, it is further developed in the teachings of Isaac Luria (1534-1572), and in Hasidism it becomes a universal belief. According to these teachings, all human souls have a common origin in the spiritual unity of the primordial man, sparks of which form the individual souls... The sin of Adam brought higher and lower souls into confusion; as a result, every soul has to pass through a series of incarnations... The soul itself has no sex, which is determined by the body and may vary from incarnation to incarnation”.  Thus, the pre-existent soul of man which is portrayed as "..sparks of which form the individual souls..." are in fact the Beings of Light encountered by some in a Near Death Experience -- and it is this Being of Light that is each person's true form and self.   Moreover, in our natural state we are a Being of Light -- and our body-vessel which we inhabit in this world, is merely an allegorical projection of mind and spirit into the image of the body.   That the journey of the soul over the course of many lifetimes was an integral part of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay -- and was removed by the Roman Emperors who ruled over the doctrines of the Church -- is demonstrated conclusively in The Ten Reasons Why The Church Rejects The Teaching On The Pre-Existent Soul.

Man is an embryonic image of their higher soul-self that is projected into this world at conception (see  Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image ) -- and those who come to understand the Cosmology of Mind and begin to Know Thyself, understand that they dwell within the Matrix of the Mind of the Soul.  And in view of the fact that there is nothing but Thought -- and while the Soul that does not incarnate into this world is an original Thought Of Creator-God, the people of this world are in reality a thought generated by their higher soul-self at conception -- then we need to greatly expand our understanding of self.  And while it is not the best example of this reality, in a similar way that a mother knows the child that she birthed and brought forth, the mother does not know the thoughts of their child.   And taking this analogy one step further: Who is your offspring? The child that you brought forth?   Or the thoughts that your child generates as part of his mental development?   Countless mystics and (Mystery) religious traditions have expressed the reality that this world is pure illusion -- i.e., Plato's Cave ( http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato ) -- which parallels what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see http://DivineStrategery.com#OuterDarkness ) -- and as the proverbial ego-self which Jesus taught that you must lose ( “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.”) -- and this was stated because you are not your true self.   In the parable of The Sower and the Seed, you are the ground within which the embryonic seed of your soul has been inserted (see  Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image ).    And in view of the fact that what Paul portrays as the "natural" mind of man (see Mystery Of The Gospel) is the earth matter (physical body) within which the seed-essence of your soul has been implanted, man in his organic state is not real beyond the limits of this world -- which world is an illusion that is an allusion through which the soul gains experiential knowledge to overcome the Laws and evolve the Light of the soul to Wholeness and Completion.

Therefore, because of his inherent limitations, organic man can't at all comprehend his true higher soul-reality (see Mystery Of The Gospel).   And while it is true that all that exists, exists within the Mind of God -- because organic man can't comprehend the paradoxes of Duality and Opposites -- and thus, he perpetually eats the fruit of the Tree of Duality which brings (spiritual) death -- he is only capable of understanding the existence of a Higher Power which he does not at all understand, and calls God by various names.   All that exists between himself and his ideas of God -- because of the limitations of organic consciousness -- remains a great void in his understanding.   And since most of mankind is ruled over by his lower animal natures -- and is more or less a beast who walks in the form of man -- he is simply incapable of merging the paradoxes of duality together in the higher reality of expanded and evolved consciousness -- his ideas of God remain carnal and undeveloped, as does is very limited knowledge of self.

  Organic Man - Ruled Over By His Earthly Animal Nature: A reality that Christians would rather not talk about is the statement by one of the earliest of Christian writers named Justin Martyr where is makes reference to the doctrine of transmutation -- i.e.,  the embodiment of a person in the body of a beast as punishment for the misdeeds of a previous life -- when he (Justin) answers the question of Trypho, the Jew, and writes: "And what do those suffer who are judged to be unworthy of this spectacle? said he. They are imprisoned in the bodies of certain wild beasts, and this is their punishment" (Dialogue of Justin With Trypho, a Jew).     Where could such a thought have originated?  If the Gospels had not been corrupted, Christians would have access to the teaching which has been preserved in the 88th chapter of The Gospel Of The Nazirenes where Jesus states: "Love you one another and all the creatures of God, Yet I say to you, not all are men, who are in the form of man. Are they men or women in the image of God whose ways of violence, of oppression and wrong, who choose a lie rather than the truth? No, truly, till they are born again, and receive the spirit of love and wisdom within their hearts. Then only are they sons and daughters of Israel, and being of Israel they are children of God, And for this cause came I into the world, and for this I have suffered at the hands of sinners."   

What this means is that unless the person achieves the next level of soul-birth (see Cosmic Ovum And Sperm), that they remain ruled over by their lower animal nature which is embodied in the consciousness of the body-vessel.    And in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, the condition of the ground is representative of the consciousness and condition of the body, with respect to the objective of sacrificing the lower animal kingdoms in order to bring about the  Final Temple within the body and mind of the seeker.    Therefore, it is not that the soul incarnates as a beast -- but rather, that the soul-seed essence remains ruled over by the consciousness of the beast as realized as the reality of the body-vessel which is comprised of the consciousness and elements of the lower three earthly kingdoms.    And it is ignorance of this fact that caused the early Christian (Gnostic) Valentinus to confirm what Jesus stated with respect to what is portrayed as only the very few who succeed -- i.e., "...narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NIV) -- Valentinus stating that the vast majority of people have no real continuance beyond the grave, that most seekers will fail, and only a few will overcome and succeed.    That Jesus is portrayed as the Savor, is because he fulfilled the Law within himself, and became the pattern for all others to embrace and follow in TheWay.  

Thus, Jesus taught that those who seek to enter into Life, must "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) -- and it is imperative to understand that the word translated "destruction", in no manner represents what is actually being presented by the interpreters of the Greek biblical texts.   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”.     That the higher soul-self generates embryonic images at the conception of the body -- and these soul-images then begin the process of evolving through the levels and stages of birth that Jesus portrayed in the words: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" -- means that those soul-images that, after emerging out of the physical womb of their mother, and into the environment of this world, have begun the next phase necessary in order to bring about the next stage of birth.   That you are a thought-image which has been generated by your higher soul-self -- i.e., you exist as a projected embryonic seed-image which has been impressed into the physical body at conception  -- is the reason why Paul and the earliest of biblical texts warn that carnal man is not even "known by God" (see Soul-Image).    Therefore, you exist as a Creation of God only by proxy -- and by virtue of the fact that you are a thought projected by your soul -- and it was your soul that was Created by God in the beginning.   And thus, the reality of the words to Know Thyself -- and a house that is divided, cannot stand.

That for countless reasons these soul-images which enter this world in the bodies of man and woman mostly fail to bring about the objective of achieving the next stage of birth that Jesus said was absolutely necessary to achieve permanence in Life, is very much true that they have become as portrayed in the Schofield Reference Bible as being "...ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”.    As soul-images that failed to evolve through the next stage of birth, they are for the most part temporal -- being temporal, they can never reincarnate as many in the New Age believe -- and neither can they go to Glory as the Church promotes.   The fact that some people claim to see their past lives, have been deceived when they mistakenly believe that they lived those lives, and the memory has been suppressed.    What they are in effect seeing, is the images which their higher soul-self has previously generated -- failed images which is the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 are portrayed in the words that "...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 failed images which walked (what Jesus portrayed as) the broad-way of self destruction -- i.e., "...ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose” -- neither reincarnate, nor go to Glory in the Christian sense of the understanding -- and yet, they remain within the higher reality of the soul in that dimension of mind which man, in his very limited understanding, calls time (see The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man).

When Jesus taught that you must achieve the next stage of birth to enter into the Life in the Kingdom, this next stage of birth must be accomplished while you are still in the physical body.    That you, as the projected soul-image, has been inhibited from growing and developing, because of the conditions of the earth in the parable of the  Sower and the Seed, is very much presented in the words: "...Yet I say to you, not all are men, who are in the form of man. Are they men or women in the image of God whose ways of violence, of oppression and wrong, who choose a lie rather than the truth? No, truly, till they are born again, and receive the spirit of love and wisdom within their hearts."    Thus, the soul-images that are ruled over by the appetites and passions of the lower nature of the body, are temporal with respect to the higher reality of the soul, and can neither reincarnate or go to Glory -- i.e., “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).  

The whole system of animal sacrifice in the Old Testament is allegory -- and it is the lower animal nature within each person that must be sacrificed.   And this is why the early Church Father Epiphanius wrote concerning the Ebionites that they do not engage in the outward ritual observances of the Law of Moses -- i.e., they "...do not accept Moses' Pentateuch in its entirety; certain sayings they reject... stating Christ has revealed this to me, and will blespheme most of the legislation" (Panarion 30.18.7-9).   Yes, it is the Anointing (Messiah/Christ) that reveals to the enlightened soul the inner meaning of the written word of the scriptures that organic man remains blind to (see An Inconvenient Truth).   Epiphanius then quotes the Gospel of the Ebionites/Hebrews where Jesus states: "I have come to destroy the sacrifices" (Panaron 30.16.5) -- i.e., outward sacrifice vs the necessary sacrifice of man's own lower earthly (animal) nature.   And when AskMoses.com states that we must sacrifice our inner animals i.e., "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" -- is this any different than the teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of the Nazirenes: "For they, making a god of their belly, sacrificed to their God the innocent creatures of the earth, in place of the carnal nature within themselves. And eating of their flesh and drinking of their blood to their own destruction, corrupted their bodies and shortened their days, even as the Gentiles who did not know the truth, or who knowing it, have changed it into a lie."   And this is why Paul warned that the person must "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV).   With the requirement that “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).   And this is why those who desire to return to the Inner Kingdom, understand the absolute need to observe the original diet intended for man in the words: "And God said, See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day" (Gen 1:29-31 NKJ).  

  The Divine Counterpart: In the terminology of the modern self-help psychology of the New Age, the ego-self equates to the earth-consciousness of the body, which G.I.Gurdjief portrays as the false-personalities of the person.   While the New Age self-help pop psychology is unclear, Gurdjief portrays the soul-seed embryonic image as the essence-self that, like the seed in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, must be matured and evolved.    And thus, it is of the utmost importance to recognize Jesus'  warning with respect to organic man's inability to understand anything of any real value, unless this soul-image essence-self is matured and evolved, as per the statement that nearly every student of the Gospels attempts to ignore -- i.e.,  “Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” (Mark 4:13 KJV) -- or, in the wording of a the modern language New Living Translation: “But if you can’t understand this story, how will you understand all the others I am going to tell?”   What this confirms is that, unless you bring about the conscious development of the embryonic image that was impressed in the body at conception -- and cease to be ruled over by the earth-consciousness of the body-vessel -- expanding your essence-self as seen in the words:  “…multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times” what was initially received (Mark 4:8 NIV) -- then you are functioning from a ego-false personality perspective, and you will remain (spiritually) dead (see The Dead Know Nothing).   

A parallel modern witness is that of Philip K. Dick as stated with respect to The Ten Principles Of The Gnostic Revelation where he portrays the realty of the person you are in this world with your higher soul-self where he wrote: "Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us to awaken us. This other personality is the authentic waking self; the one we have now is asleep and minor. We are in fact asleep, and in the hands of a dangerous magician disguised as a good god, the deranged creator deity. The bleakness, the evil and pain in this world, the fact that it is a deterministic prison controlled by the demented creator causes us willingly to split with the reality principle early in life, and so to speak willingly fall asleep in delusion."  

As explained in the hyperlink to the Two Creation Accounts, this realm of illusions is totally controlled by the Laws (Laws of Nature and Nature's God) which are designed and imbued with the task of evolving all of Creation from the Alpha of ignorance, to the Omega of Enlightened Light and Knowing.   If man's thoughts that he generates, desires that he envisions, and actions which he manifests, is deserving of intervention with respect to alleviating his struggles and trials of life, then the Laws which I portray as a Living Bio-Feedback system, will automatically intervene in the person's life -- as in accord with the Divine Design of Creation.   In the same way that the Father does not rush into the Far Country when the prodigal son squanders away his inheritance, and brings great sufferings upon himself by virtue of his own actions, neither does Creator-God suspend the Laws and intervene in the life of man.  Why would Creator-God intervene in the thoughts generated by the soul into a realm of illusions, in order to suspend the Laws that were put into place to bring about the greatest good and growth?  That organic man who has squandered away his inheritance, and has permitted himself to be ruled over by his base animal natures, fails to pass the tests of the Laws that returns to each person the fruit of their own thoughts, desires and actions, is not reason to suspend the very Divine Design of Creation when a thought-generated ego-self inherits the trials and fruit of his own actions.  All that man has to do is begin the journey in TheWay as a sincere seeker of Truth, in order to find and experience the solution to all his sufferings and trials

  The Soul - Thomas Paine's Rights Of Man And Emerson's Oversoul: While Emerson is known as the father of Transcendentalism, he is also known as a Deist -- but by definition, it has been noted that Plato can be defined as a Deist.   But of ultra interest is the statement in the book on Emerson where it is written: "Emerson gives his argument a special twist at this point since his first sentence also alludes to Paine's Rights of Man.  Arguing for the rights of men overr the rights of institutions and government, he recalls Pain's claims for the sacred rights of the individual.   Like Emerson, Pain's 'motive and subject" -- as he describes it in a letter of 1806 to John Inskeep, the mayor of Philadelphia -- had always been 'to rescue man from the tyranny and false systems and false principles of government, and enable him to be free.'"  (see Nature's Archives - p. 114).    While it is noted that this exposé portrays Emerson's thesis on the Oversoul as perhaps his most important work, it is also noted that very little useable information is provided to the reader.   And because of the great importance of this higher reality, this present work is intended to fill in the great void with respect to the higher reality of the soul of man that few religions or philosophies today have any real understanding of.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, like many of the early American Gnostics, was a Deist.   Quoting the Wikipedia: The Oversoul¯ is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, first published in 1841. The broad subject of the essay, considered one of Emerson's best, is the human soul.  Several general themes are treated: (1) the existence and nature of the human soul; (2) the relationship between the soul and the personal ego; (3) the relationship of one human soul to another; and (4) the relationship of the human soul to God.  Influence of Eastern religions, including Vedantism, is plainly evident, but the essay also develops ideas long present in the Western tradition, e.g., in the works of Plato, Plotinus, and Emmanuel Swedenborg The essay attempts no systematic doctrine, but rather serves as a work of art, something like poetry.  Its virtue is in personal insights of the author and the lofty manner of their presentation.  Emerson wishes to exhort and direct the reader to an awakening of similar thoughts or sentiments.  With respect to the four themes listed above, the essay presents the following views: (1) the human soul is immortal, and immensely vast and beautiful; (2) our conscious ego is slight and limited in comparison to the soul, despite the fact that we habitually mistake our ego for our true self; (3) at some level, the souls of all people are connected, though the precise manner and degree of this connection is not spelled out; and (4) the essay does not seem to explicitly contradict the traditional Western idea that the soul is created by and has an that is similar to God, or rather God exists within us. This idea was later adopted by many religions.

Take notice of the above statement:  "...at some level, the souls of all people are connected, though the precise manner and degree of this connection is not spelled out" -- and when the Cosmology of Mind is understood, it is seen that what Emerson was missing was an understanding of the Matrix of the Soul (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image ) -- and holographically, this same Matrix of the Soul also exists on a higher level within the Matrix of the Logos (see Logos ).   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 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 limitations inhibit them from understanding the reality of the Logos/True Prophet/Son of God -- and all those other religions that cannot understand the Oversoul presented by Emerson and other Deists and American Gnostics.    This same inability to understand the segmentation of mind causes many to align themselves with the Eastern doctrine of reincarnation where it is dogmatically portrayed that the soul, upon entering the body-vessel, forgets all the previous lifetimes it has lived.   But to even make such a suggestion, is to ignore the above positions of (1) G.I. Gurdjieff that the person you are in this world is a series of false personalities; (2) the false-self portrayed by Philip K. Dick; (3) or what Emerson portrays as the ego-self.   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 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.

An integral part of the original Ebionite Nazirene teachings that few people understand, was echoed by Paul who taught the necessity of transforming man's lower earthly nature (see Overcome  ).   Paul commands all those who called themselves Christians: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV - see Overcome ).   Thus, in effect, what Paul is stating is that you must cease to be just a Cosmic Ovum And Sperm -- cut off the loss of vital life-force which is portrayed as the squandering away of the prodigal son's inheritance -- and strive to become a spiritual-embryo with the opportunity to achieve the next stage of soul-birth.

It is impossible to get to God even in meditation which is promoted by Transcendentalism, the New Age and the Eastern religions, as well as modern quasi-Deism, for many of the reasons explored in The Way Of The Monk.   The reality that the person you are in this world is an image of your true self (soul-self) -- often portrayed as the ego-self or false-personality -- then it remains that it is impossible to connect directly to God, while bypassing the true self or soul-self that dwells in a higher realm between you and the Logos of God.   Thus, the Gospel states:  "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?" (Luke 9:25).   And how does the soul-image or Emerson's ego-self become lost?   By failing to become their true self -- i.e., their higher soul-self or oversoul -- as presented in the words: "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".   Why does both the Gospel of Thomas and Luke 9:25 make note of this world as a loss of self?   Because the being you are in this world has little in common with your true self that you do not know -- i.e., your higher soul-self or Emerson's oversoul.   And as presented in  The Way Of The Monk, while in meditation you can gaze at the Light of the soul through the sixth spiritual center in the head (chakra-gazing), without fulfilling the Laws within yourself and manifesting Wholeness in the physical, gazing at the Light of the soul that you mistake for God, is as far as you can go along that path.   And what is often portrayed as Christ-Consciousness which is brought about by meditation on what can be portrayed as chakra-gazing and head-sex will release endorphin's into one's body-mind which will distort the person's understanding of a higher reality that they are only capable of perceiving light from -- while largely because of a lack of Wholeness, they fail to understand the source and reality of that Light.   But for our discussion here, it is imperative to understand that the mind of man is segmented -- and paradoxically, each segment is functioning independently on one level, while on a deeper level intimately connected to the whole.   To some degree this is presented in The Holographic Pattern Of The Twelve Within The One, which is further detailed in The Enigma Of The Twelve - The Laws - And The Tree Of Life.

Once again, while from a paradoxical perspective the statement in Acts -- i.e., "For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, We are his offspring"¯ (Acts 17:28 NIV) could be construed as Pantheistic -- the problem is not that the Pantheists are wrong on this point -- but rather, there is a whole lot more to the equation.   What it amounts to is the fact that fragments of truth that are devoid of the larger reality, do not represent Truth.   That the above verse in Acts affirms this fragment of truth promoted by the Pantheists, is confirmed in the Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary for this verse where it is written: "This is the first half of the fifth line, word for word, of an astronomical poem of Aratus, a Greek countryman of the apostle and his predecessor by about three centuries. It is found also (nearly as here) in a religious hymn of Cleanthes of Troas, a contemporary of Aratus. But, as our speaker hints, the same sentiment is to be found in other Greek poets. They meant it, doubtless, in a pantheistic sense"¯.   The problem is that as with all the religions of mankind, while the Pantheists are correct from one paradoxical perspective, it is also true that there is so great a reality that is missing from Pantheism to render it in grave error as understood by most people who portray themselves as Pantheists.   And among the many realities that are absent in Pantheism is presented in the above words expressed in The Ten Gnostic Principles in the words: "Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us to awaken us. This other personality is the authentic waking self...".   If this is true, and we are the false or ego-self who is totally unaware of our true self that lies beyond and on the other side of a barrier within our own segmented mind -- and on Emerson's writing on the Oversoul it is concluded in comment: (1) the human soul is immortal, and immensely vast and beautiful; (2) our conscious ego is slight and limited in comparison to the soul, despite the fact that we habitually mistake our ego for our true self; (3) at some level, the souls of all people are connected, though the precise manner and degree of this connection is not spelled out; and (4) the essay does not seem to explicitly contradict the traditional Western idea that the soul is created by and has an that is similar to God, or rather God exists within us. This idea was later adopted by many religions.      

While the Christians and what is portrayed in the above as God within which "...idea was later adopted by many religions" may once again be paradoxically true, the fact that there is an inconceivable reality of soul and spirit between us and God that is not at all understood -- of which the Christians ignore the statements of Paul which is explored in Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image , which conveys the reality that God does not even know man -- it is important to understand that such a statement of reality on the surface would be rejected as being impossible by the vast majority of religions of the world.   And yet, if the statement is true, then all the religions of the world which have adopted manmade carnal dogma to explain what is inconceivable from an organic human perspective, means that all of these religions all promote little more than fragments of truth, and are all equally in error with respect to the more important Truths that is beyond the perception of organic man.   Which is why the Gnostics portrayed the religions of man as worshiping a Demiurge that created the world of illusions within which organic man dwells -- i.e., Plato's Cave.   Further, in addition to the statement by Paul and the confirmation in the Gospel of Thomas, the same reality is portrayed in the words of St. Nazianzen which can be found at http://BeingOfLight.com where it is written: When God, in the words of St. Nazianzen, no longer is an "object of wonder"¯, but rather an "object of desire"¯ -- and we, desiring to be purified from the defilements of this world, make ourselves fit vessels for the Lord to indwell, the Spirit, according to St. Nazianzen, reveals to us our true nature, and the revelation of this manifest Sacred Knowledge makes "...us like God; so that when we have thus become like Himself, God may, to use a bold expression, hold converse with us as Gods, being united to us, and that perhaps to the same extent as He already knows those who are known to Him".  St. Nazianzen then writes that "...the Divine Nature then is boundless and hard to understand"¯ by those who are yet carnal and think as natural beings of this world.  Thus, again we see this same reality that is not understood in the words: "...knows those who are known to Him"¯.   If we are indeed a false or ego-self that began as an embryonic image projected into the body by our true self -- i.e., our higher soul-self that is not manifest in the physical body -- then God can only know that which is true, and not that which is false and of this world.   And that the false cannot exist in the Kingdom, is the reason why Jesus is portrayed as totally rejecting the counterfeit believer who does not pick up his own cross and fulfill the Law within himself: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'  And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" (Matt 7:21-23 NKJ).

What we see unfolding here is the Grand Enigma and Paradox of Confusion that is the essence of the long ignored words of Paul (see Mystery Of The Gospel) that man's own higher soul and spiritual reality remains totally inconceivable to the organic mind of man -- that this higher soul-reality remains virtually unknown to the multitude of religious and philosophical leaders in the world who mistake the false ego-self with the true soul-self that is not manifest in the body-vessel -- and is representative of the ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY knowledge which caused Valentinus to state that even among the sincere seekers, only a few will ultimately succeed.  While the eternal souls or soul-selves are the Creation of God -- we are an embryonic image of our soul that has been projected into this world (see  Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image) -- and that principle which we call God which exits at the Core Essence of Creation, cannot bypass the levels of Creation and Consciousness and directly intervene in the lives of man who only exist within God by PROXY of being an embryonic image that exists within the reality of the soul-self.

What is presented just following the foregoing hyperlink beginning with The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man -- which opens the door to what is further presented in Soul-Symphony - Time - Soul-Octaves - Spiritual Cathedral -- portrays the Mind of the soul as existing within a Matrix, of which the vast majority of mankind remain an unknowing part of.   And it is from this higher reality that I write that from our perspective, there is no such thing as reincarnation -- and yet, our higher soul-self which Philip Dick and Emerson portray as the True Self, evolves to Completion over the course of many lifetimes.   But that what we call Time, is in fact a dimension of mind and consciousness that few of mankind possess the capacity to even begin to comprehend, is a reality within the Matrix of Mind that is necessary to even begin to understand our own higher soul and spiritual reality -- all of which as attested to by the Deists, is functioning under the Laws.   And that there was a body of esoteric knowledge within Deism that could not be conveyed to those whose minds remained functioning on the lower levels of organic consciousness, is demonstrated in Franklin's rejection of Paine's The Age of Reason.   Not that Paine was wrong -- but because of the consequences of revealing even some of this esoteric knowledge Franklin wrote: . [T]hink how great a portion of mankind consists of weak and ignorant men and women and of inexperienced, inconsiderate youth of both sexes who have need of the motives of religion to restrain them from vice, to support their virtue . . . . I would advise you, therefore, not to attempt unchaining the tiger, but to burn this piece before it is seen by any other person . . . . If men are so wicked with religion, what would they be without it? I intend this letter itself as proof of my friendship"     Which I liken to the statement by Origen that the doctrine of the physical resurrection was "...preached in the Churches for the simpleminded and for the ears of the common crowd who are led on to live better lives by their belief" (Origen Contra Celsum).

   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 Chātelet 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 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 4th 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 6th 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). 

  Religion As A System Of Education: When Jesus promised that his disciples will know the Truth that will set them free (John 8:32), he was not portraying the plight of blind faith and belief in manmade dogma that has bound and enslaved the modern Church today -- but rather, that his followers will become immersed in a system of spiritual development known as TheWay, that will evolve and Anoint (Messiah/Christ) their mind in order to reveal all the Mysteries of Creation to their elevated and enlightened understanding.   The fact of the matter is that while those who are portrayed as teachers, teach, in reality even those who teach know that they have no real answers as to the meaning and mysteries of life.   So in reality it can be said that those who teach are merely dispensing cultural and philosophic speculation to others, regardless of the fact that those who teach possess no real knowledge. 

If we even begin to ask the question: How important is the development of the latent intuitive spheres of mind associated with Mysticism?    What is today known as faith-based religion is portrayed in the Bible as the elementary teachings designed specifically for entry-level congregations of believers.    What the Apostle Paul portrayed as the "testimony" of Christ, was set forth to the people he converted as a starting point.  And when it is understood that the objectives of the original teachings of TheWay were in fact parallel to that of our modern educational systems -- i.e., "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” -- with the objective being to learn directly from the Source of all Knowledge that Creation was brought into existence to bring about in the eternal reality of the soul of mankind -- then it can also be understood that if the objective of our educational system is to obtain a university and graduate degree, then the beginning of the educational process starts with pre-school or kindergarten -- i.e., an entry-level environment which is necessary to prepare the student to embrace the process of higher learning.   In the same way that you can't enroll an immature student in a college or university, so too must entry-level Christians be exposed one step and level at a time in a religious-based process that brings about their own spiritual maturity and attainment.    And this design and objective of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay is explored in the chapter of the article The Three Lies entitled The Mystery Of The Gospel .    And it is further demonstrated that the pre-Nicene Church (before 325 CE) very much resembled a spiritual healing center that was totally focused on the objective of the development of the seeker/disciple, one level at a time, of the congregation of believers (see The Secret Doctrine ).   To the degree that the Church was accused of being a Secret System that taught the spiritually mature a totally different doctrine than the congregation of believers.   And in reply to the allegations against the Church by the pagan philosopher Celsus, it was noted that the elementary doctrines which survive today as the foundation of faith-based Christianity, was said to be “...preached in the Churches… for the simpleminded and for the ears of the common crowd who are led on to live better lives by their belief” (Origen Contra Celsum).    So what happened?   In the article  The Secret Doctrine, the pre-Nicene Church is presented in its finest moments as a three-tier healing system which served the needs of the people at every level of the process.  But what happened?  In time the proverbial saying that the inmates took over the institution came to pass -- and the charlatan political leaders of the lower echelon put to death the genuine spiritual healers who were the original core and spiritual essence of the Church.   Resulting in the reality that the entry-level beliefs became the only surviving teachings, when the original Ebionite Nazirenes and Spiritual (Gnostic) Christians were hunted down and murdered because they refused to accept the doctrines of the Emperor of Pagan Rome who ruled over the Church beginning in the fourth century.

Based upon the dogmatic folly of pseudo-authorities such as Martin Luther who promote the thinking that you have completed the process even before you have begun -- i.e., the dogma that once you say your Jesus-prayer, that you have fulfilled all Gospel requirements -- these easily proven fraudulent doctrines  (see The Lie & The Ten Minute Test) are easily demonstrated to be spiritually counterfeit.   Again, under examination, we can easily perceive a parallel relationship between the original teachings of Jesus and TheWay, and our modern-day cultural educational systems.   When a child is first introduced into the system as an entry-level student, what is presented to the child is a vision of the final result where the graduate student is able to become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, computer programmer or some other professional.   The child is told that if they ardently embrace the objectives of the educational system -- prepare their minds through proper study and application -- that they can arise and fulfill all cultural expectations and find great success in their lives.   From the vision presented to the entry-level student, the promise of success is never presented from the perspective of the dropout -- or those who flunk out and fail to take advantage of the learning environment that the educational system provides to the student.   It is not at all suggested that you can hangout in school without study and application, and collect your university degree by merely putting in your time and going through the motions of going to school.   And what is not at all understood  today, is the fact that the promise of the scriptures is parallel to that of the promise presented to the child who enters our educational system -- in that, the promise of the scriptures portrays the reality of those who sincerely engage and complete the process of the original objectives of  "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”, will attain the promised results -- and this promise cannot be achieved by those who become spiritual dropouts.    But as the original teachings became institutionalized under secular control, charlatan priests and clergy (see The Example Of Paul Of Samosata at http://nazirene.org/unfaithful2.htm#clergy ) peddled dogmatic shortcuts that they said eliminated the need to strive and fulfill the original spiritual objectives of "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness” -- with a greater number of dogmatic dispensations being invented in order to circumvent the process of higher development --  to the degree where the focus of the Church became instant salvation for the purpose of acquiring mammon and the political power of the secular priests and clergy.   And when the remaining spiritual core objected, they were condemned as heretics, hunted down and murdered. 

  The Trinity And The Divine Pattern Of Creation: From a foundational background perspective, there is a great deal of historical information in the in-depth article The Three Lies beginning at the subheading on the Logos -- which leads into what is arguably the most important suppressed and misunderstood teaching on The True Prophet, and the following subheading entitled The Spiritual Disenfranchisement Of The Mind. While the subject matter is again resumed in the subheading The Holographic Pattern, let me point out that there is a reason why there is a great deal of discussion in that section on American Spirituality which lays the foundation to comprehending the Laws that control all of Creation between the two groupings of headings. And in the subheading following -- i.e., The Trinity And The Divine Pattern Of Creation -- there is further exploration.

DUALISM? What exactly is Dualism? The problem is that few people understand the reality of what is called Dualism -- often portrayed in a negative sense as Persian Dualism, Gnostic Dualism, etc. -- resulting in the fact that not even those who often think of themselves as Gnostic, understand the reality of what they are portraying.  There are certain words that possess a Divine Meaning that is beyond the ability of man to redefine or define from a carnal perspective.   And in the word Gnosis (see The Reality Of Gnosis) is one of those words.   Quoting from the foregoing link: Gnosis is the Greek word meaning Spiritual Knowledge -- and True Gnosis is defined as Knowledge received directly from God.   Gnosis cannot be found in a book -- it cannot be taught by another man or teacher of this world -- and it is representative of a higher spiritual reality that simply cannot be redefined by man.   Gnosis is the Greek word which indicates that revelationary experiential Knowledge received from God -- and cannot be imparted by any other Source.   Which means that when quasi-religious and politically-religious motivated people condemn Gnosis/Spiritual Knowledge as heresy, they are in every way condemning and rejecting the Divine Manna imparted to the most religious and spiritual of mankind, as heresy.    Those who ignorantly condemn Gnosis, condemn the Knowledge of God.    And the fact that, because of the politics of religion and the fact that governments the world over have traditionally used religion as a means to maintain rule and authority over the people, we can begin to understand the very reason why genuine Mystics who have dedicated their lives to seeking Spiritual Knowledge -- defined as Gnosis -- have concealed the means to acquire this Spiritual Knowledge within the written text of the scriptures -- cloaked in allegory, so it would not be revealed to carnal/organic man.

From a higher spiritual perspective, there is really no such thing as Dualism in the manner that the proponents and opponents think -- because Dualism only takes into account the Positive and Negative Powers that are paradoxical opposites which permeate all of Creation. And if we ask: Why is there no such thing as Dualism?  Because even the concept of dualism would omit the most important element of the equation which is what we call the Third-Force Balance.  But going one step further, the paradoxical opposites that constitute Dualism on this Plane, exist in Oneness on a Higher Plane -- and their division in this world always initiates the environment where the third-force reality of Mind is the balance.  Moreover, the conflict of the paradoxical opposites can only be resolved when the third-force (of mind) is raised up to the higher plane where what is Dual in this world exists in Oneness.

If the bottom horizontal base of the triangle represents the duality in the earthly plane, then this duality can only be harmonized and overcome in the development of the upper point where the two exist as One on a higher plane.   If the horizontal base represents the perception and understanding from the limited reality of the earth-plane, then the elevated point which is able to not only perceive reality from a higher plane -- but also without the duality of the lower earth-plane -- posses an enlightened vision and understanding that is not organic to the duality of the earth.    One of the primary obstacles that confronts seekers, is seen in the fact that to achieve this higher vision where the duality of the earth is overcome, the third-force balance must be raised up.   Therefore, from a purely cultural perspective, what would be commonly understood as the traditional consensus balance of opposites (male/female) on the horizontal line of the earth plane, would only produce a third-force balance on the same horizontal earth plane.    And thus, the majority of religious paths attempt to ignore the duality in the earth -- or rectify this duality -- by seeking the spiritual as portrayed in the upper most point, without understanding the nature of that elevated point of mind and being.  

In the same way that the soul is asexual -- and is a Being of Light that is pure intellect and consciousness -- our true self that exists on a soul-level is not polarized to male of female or any other duality -- and yet, the enlightened vision of reality is the product of the absolute balance of duality.   In Jewish Mysticism, Eve did not come into being when formed from the rib of Adam -- but rather, Eve always existed before being separated.   In the first Creation Account, man was created from the beginning male and female in the image of God -- i.e., "So 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) -- which indicates that what is allegorically portrayed as Eve always existed within the reality of the One.    And that to even exist in this world, what exists must be in accord with the Divine Pattern -- and in the same way that man and woman exists in duality, so too does even every thought that is generated by man and woman.   And only when these thoughts are balanced and made whole across the spectrum of male and female, can the third-force balance that exists from an enlightened higher soul-perspective exist.

In the same way that the polarities of male and female are representative of the pattern of duality in the earth, the very thoughts and mental impressions -- in addition to the (spiritual) vital energies or life-force -- what exists within the reality of man and woman  in a state of division, must be overcome and raised up to a soul-level of being, in order to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life which is portrayed in the diagram at the right.   The Tree of Duality (aka The Forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good And Evil), is representative of the two outer columns which are male/female in relation to each other.   And the only way to overcome this duality, is to properly engage it -- evolve it -- and restore the male and female to a condition of Oneness and Wholeness.   Thus, the Kingdom can only be restored as presented in the Second Epistle of Clement where Jesus teaches on the coming of the Kingdom in the words: “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’”    In the same way that there was no Tree of Duality in the first Creation account of Genesis -- and this duality that brings death is the result of the Laws -- only when the Laws are overcome, can the Kingdom be restored within the prodigal sons and daughters. 

While there have always been entry-level pseudo-Gnostics who have preached an earthly-evil and heavenly-good doctrine based upon fragmentary understandings, the Gnostics who truly know the truth and reality of mankind, stated the necessity of evolving the earthly or ego-personalities which are often portrayed as false-personalities, in order to develop the essence-self or soul-impression in Gospel of Thomas saying 84.   And thus, the earthly, or ego-self, must become the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, in order for the essence-self or soul-image to develop and evolve to it's full potential as portrayed in the words: “…multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times” (Mark 4:8 NIV) the soul-image or essence-self which was implanted in the body at conception.   If the ego or false personalities are the expression of the earthly centers, then the refining of the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, is representative of the development of the lower centers -- and ultimately the earthly becoming the bride of the heavenly opposite -- coming together in the Center.

It is important to recognize that while you can't get to the upper point on the heavenly plane that is beyond your reach as organic man -- if you understand and are willing to apply the natural Laws of Creation and Spiritual Alchemy, you can make the lower point reflect the upper, which enables their joining.    Therefore, the lower point as portrayed in the Star of David at the left, must be purified and evolved to the degree that it merges with it's heavenly opposite.  

Once properly understood, the threefold reality which the pseudo-Gnostic, the monk or yogi attempts to tap into by the suppression of the lower nature, and the meditating on the Light emanating through the sixth center above and between the eyes, can be used to demonstrate the failings of the path of both the monk and yogi who rely upon meditation to achieve their ecstatic states of illumination and what they portray as Christ Consciousness via the Light that enters the body and mind through that center.    Thus we must ask: Why not the topmost seventh center?   And it is in the understanding of this crucial question, that the secret to the key of all of Creation is revealed.   The top three centers in the head are the heavenly centers -- and the sixth center is the balance of the fifth and seventh spiritual centers (aka chakras).    The amount of Light that has the potential to illumine the mind, is the result (or fruit) of the balance of the fifth and seventh spiritual centers -- which balance is manifest in the sixth center.   And herein lies the problem -- i.e., part of us is manifest in the lower vibrations associated with the earth and earth-consciousness -- and the higher reality of the soul or soul-self, cannot even be approached, without the Wholeness of the seven spiritual centers -- which cannot be balanced without the evolved balance of mind as portrayed in the diagram of the twelve spheres of the Tree of Life with the Star of David overlain.    

In a summary, if the triangle above represents the dilemma from the perception of man on the earth-plane with the horizontal duality that must be satisfied by the third-force point of the heavenly plane -- and the vast number of religions attempt to overcome the dilemma by negating and getting above the mind by seeking that higher point to the exclusion of the lower -- then the True (Gnostic) Spiritual Seeker who understands the Cosmology of Mind, embraces an opposite path.   As presented in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, the teachings of TheWay strives to develop and evolve the lower point by making the reflective earth ego-self the "good ground".    And this is the objective of allegory of the Torah and the manifestation of the lower animal appetites that must be evolved and perfected, in the AskMoses.com portrayal of the Final Temple.   And it is the evolved development and perfection of these lower centers, that embodies TheCall to the parable of the Wedding Feast, wherein each who comes to TheCall, must have on the appropriate "wedding garment" -- which signifies the evolved perfection of the lower earthly spiritual centers.    And this is why the Gospel of Thomas is consumed with the development of self as seen in the wisdom: "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".   The self that the seeker must find, is the indwelling soul-self that is the focus of the True Self in the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image), and this can only be achieved through the Wholeness of an evolved mind that brings about the next stage of birth.    Again, we see the relationship between the lower earthly point that is the solution to the upper heavenly duality, in conjunction with the upper heavenly point that is the solution to the earthly duality, and when evolved Wholeness is achieved, how the perfected fruit of the Tree of Life is portrayed in the symbol of the Star of David.  

In the same way that the sixth spiritual center (chakra) is the balance between the fifth and seventh heavenly spiritual centers in the head -- and the second spiritual center (chakra) is the balance of the lowest first and the third spiritual (sex) centers -- thus, we have an upper heavenly triad, a lower earthly triad, and it is the fourth spiritual center in the middle which is often allegorically portrayed as the Son of Man in the scriptures, which is the balance of what is portrayed as heaven and earth.    The totality of mind is the balance between the seven spiritual centers and the physical body -- and the mind is manifest in the twelve spheres of the Tree of Life.   And this is the primary reason why the paths of the monk and yogi teach the need to get above the mind -- not being able to engage the mind and evolve it to Wholeness, because of the negation of the lower centers.    The twelve tribes of Israel have absolutely nothing to do with an historical people -- but rather, represent  an allegorical portrayal of the mind as patterned in the Tree of Life -- as is the higher presentation of the twelve disciples an allegorical portrayal of the perfected mind in the Gospels.    And this is why Paul warned the Galatians who were attempting to embrace Jewish ritualistic ways, stated to them: “Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?” And then Paul goes on to explain to those who want to attempt to read the written word literally, in an historical context as Christians do today: “For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory” (Gal 4:21-24 KJV).

Not only are the lower three earthly centers the paired opposites of the upper three heavenly centers -- but the spiritual centers and associated spheres of mind are paired across the spectrum of gender as manifest in male and female.    But this is not apparent unless you come to understand the holographic reality of man and woman as the cosmic sperm and ovum that must achieve the next stage of birth.   Moreover, while in our divided reality as man or woman we exist as an ego-self, or embryonic soul-image, our true being is manifest in the higher reality of our soul, or soul-self that is the Being of Light encountered in the Near Death Experience (NDE).    In the same way that a sperm or ovum is not representative of the whole person, we are not representative of the wholeness of our soul or higher soul-self.   And because the womb of our physical mother's is simply not the environment necessary to develop the mind and bring about the next stage of birth, our soul-image is connected in a fetus that is born into this world -- divided across the spectrum of cosmic ovum and sperm in the womb of Mother-Earth -- which world presents to us the necessary environment to bring about the expansion of mind and consciousness in the quest to initiate the next stage of soul-birth.   And man and woman who possess the potential to initiate and fulfill the Laws which bring about this next stage of birth, must develop those areas of mind that are beyond the level of organic consciousness.   

If we draw a vertical line through the middle of the triangle from to top bottom, we can begin to grasp the solution with respect to the Laws that must be overcome.   The two horizontal points on the base of the triangle, are imbedded in the outer columns of the Tree of Duality -- and for this duality to be overcome, the angles must be equal and reversed with respect to the Laws that will bring about the evolution of the center point.    Where normal male/female physical and emotional interaction will remain earth-bound with the third-force balance remaining of the horizontal plane, when a Husband and Wife work on evolving the mind and thinking of each other, as both male and female in harmonic balance -- while evolving that third-force which is the sum of that union of "one flesh" -- while seeking the higher truth of mind that is manifest in their soul, and the higher reality of the Kingdom that is manifest in their spiritual nature -- then the duality is overcome in the Third-Force balance, and the Alchemical Transformation is brought about through the application of the Laws and Forces of Creation which manifest Completion within the Divine Marriage.  

The objective is to elevate one's mind and being to the higher soul-plane of reality.   One of the problems is seen in the fact that there is no duality of male of female on the soul-plane -- and yet, our higher soul-plane is the result of all duality of male and female raised up in perfect balance and wholeness.    Our higher soul-self is neither male nor female -- and this higher reality cannot be reached when our thoughts and mindset are imbued with the duality of male or female -- i.e., the fruit of the Tree of Duality.    Yet, within the environment of a Divine Marriage where male and female have been merged into "one flesh" (Matt 19:6), this duality of mind and being can be overcome -- and the original pattern of Adam/Eve manifest within the reality of Husband and Wife. 

In order to accomplish this transformation, the Husband and Wife must seek to make themselves a Holy and Consecrated Final Temple -- where the lower appetites of the animal consciousness of the body are raised up to their highest expression as portrayed in the AskMoses.com presentation (see Temple).   And it was this reference to the Law that Jesus stated not one jot or tittle would be negated, till all is Completed.   But an all-important reality of Law must be recognized and observed, if this spiritual alchemical transformation is to be brought about.   In its final manifestation as a triangle, each of the male/female horizontal opposites, are themselves equal points in a triangle that they are themselves part of, and they are the center of.   Which means that the male and female opposites must not only reflect each other in the reverse of their polarities, but that the Laws that form the linear connection on the earth plane, as well as the linear connection which arises into the heavenly plane, must all be equal and harmonically balanced.   And while this may sound complex to many, this is exactly what happens in the physical process of birth which every succeeding level is patterned after.   In the same that the genetics of an embryo must have a perfectly balanced chromosomal balance across the DNA of mother and father, in order for the third-force of the offspring to begin to evolve into an fetus and be born as an infant, so too must the balance of male and female opposite impressions of mind manifest this same harmonic balance between Husband and Wife in a Divine Marriage.

In the subheading on the Logos, we find the Greek term Logos properly defined as the Mind of God. And since the Mind cannot exist outside of the Environment of Positive/Negative Forces which empowers and manifests the Mind as the Third-Force Balance -- then what we are left with at it's core could best be portrayed as the Science Of Mind. Understanding the Science of Mind as it relates to One's Self in the equation of Know Thyself, is called the Cosmology of Mind -- i.e., "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" (Gospel Of Thomas). Which means that from an Enlightened perspective, even the most advanced of our universities today, dwell in abject poverty. In not understanding the Cosmology of Mind, they remain totally immature in their thinking and mindset.

Thus we must first pose the question: What is mind? And just as important: What is the potential of mind? And then we should add the proverbial questions that are gateways to acquiring the self-knowledge that will begin to crack open the door out of the abyss of intellectual and spiritual poverty: What are the limitations of mind? Can these limitations be overcome? Why is the Mind of God portrayed as All-Knowing? While the organic consciousness of man dwells in dark confusion that is often portrayed as ignorance? Can man's condition be changed and improved? And perhaps most importantly, what must man do to improve his condition? What will he be when man improves his condition? And does it matter? The problem is that the answers to these questions cannot at all be found in our esteemed educational institutions -- and can only be revealed to us by what the first followers of Jesus called, The True Prophet.

Sadly, these are all questions that the majority of people could give a hoot about.  Why? Because organic man who is ruled over by the lower three earthly-kingdoms, is only concerned with satisfying his carnal appetites and needs of the body -- and having become adjusted to his condition, he simply is not motivated to do the necessary labor and dedication to advance himself beyond what is supported by the physical body-vessel.  And this is especially true when said advancement requires a great expenditure of time and effort without carnal or worldly reward.  Man, in his organic condition, demands instant gratification -- i.e., tell me, so I can know the truth.  The reality that the Truth he seeks is beyond his "natural" organic comprehension (see Mystery Of The Gospel) -- and to understand, he must surrender to the transformative process of embracing the Cross in every aspect of his life -- this time and dedication is simply something that he is unwilling to do.  Further, you have the proverbial problem that a little bit of knowledge is often more dangerous than no knowledge at all.  And since man in his organic condition of mind is incapable of understanding his own higher soul and spiritual reality (see Mystery Of The Gospel), all of organic man's perceptions and understanding of God (and the Trinity) is immersed in grave dogmatic error. In fact, dogma can be defined as the assumptions of the carnal mind that is incapable of comprehending both self and God with any real depth of understanding -- and that these assumptions are then encased in hard and fast creeds that inhibit advancement beyond the carnal, is the plight of the Christian today. And (in the fourth century) since the segment of the Church which portrayed themselves as Orthodox and entered into a covenant with the Emperor Constantine who was in every way a barbarian, the whole foundation of the Church's dogmatic understanding remains gravely flawed. When you add to this the fact that one of man's primary organic needs is that of survival, what man portrays as religion has always been hijacked by counterfeit shepherds (priests/clergy) who hand out dispensations to guarantee survival after physical death. But since death in the scriptures portrays the plight of organic man in this world (see The Dead Know Nothing) -- and the essence of all people survive physical death -- then the whole construct of the religion that is preached from the altars, has virtually nothing in common with the original teachings of Jesus and TheWay.

While the true purpose and objectives of religion is to provide answers and solutions to the above questions that the majority of people could care less about pursuing, the fact that counterfeit shepherds always adopt true spiritual holy men such as Jesus, and use them to peddle their dispensations and carnal dogma -- and they do this for their own empowerment and political position within the culture -- then the few who embrace genuine religion and the teachings of holy men for their intended purpose of achieving Enlightenment and the Kingdom, are very quickly turned upon by the counterfeit shepherds as heretics.

No truer statement has ever been made which portrays the plight of the vast majority of mankind than this: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ...Therefore, my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge" (Hosea 4:6; Isa 5:13). Why? This question is answered in the words: "Those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths" (Isa 3:12 NKJ). And if the proclamation in the Gospel of Thomas is true -- i.e., "...if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty" -- then the very Essence of Religion IS the Science of Mind. In the subheading entitled The Heightening And Expansion Of Mind -- which is the process that opens the door enabling the seeker/disciple to be able to answer the above proverbial questions that the vast majority of people could care less about.   And in the same way that the Mind of God (or Logos) is the Third-Force Balance of the Positive/Negative Forces which are often portrayed as Father/Mother God, all of Creation is holographically imbued with this same Divine Pattern. Thus, we not only observe Duality in all things -- i.e., day/night, light/dark, male/female, left/right, heaven/earth, spirit/flesh, etc./etc. -- the very condition and reality of mind is always found in the third-force balance of the two. And when rightly understood, even the parable of the prodigal son presents the duality of the two sons -- with the third-force of mind which is never spoken of, is representative of the missing link that inhibits most people from understanding the esoteric knowledge of mind that is being presented within the construct of the parable. But if this third-force is representative of the soul of man -- with the elder son remaining in the Kingdom of the Father -- then this third-force which is representative of the soul of man, neither incarnates into this world, nor can it dwell in the Kingdom, without the lost prodigal son completing its journey in TheWay -- and by its own volition, returns to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.

Both the Trinity and the Duality of the Divine Pattern can be presented in other ways that can help us to better understand.  While electricity is comprised of positive and negative polarity opposites, where they come together in the electrical appliance can be thought of as the third-force balance. Not to utilize the duality of an electric current, can then be portrayed as The Way Of The Monk -- which path attempts to suppress the development of the mind -- in their words they meditate on the Light coming through the sixth center in an attempt to "get above the mind".   And in the example of the electrical circuit where the two polarities are brought together at the point of the third-force appliance, it must be recognized that the vast majority of people have absolutely no understanding of electrical circuits, and all they know is to throw a switch, and use the appliances that operates off the duality of the current flow.    Which means that while the duality exists, few people understand the application of the threefold reality of the circuit.

When rightly understood, computers are the dumbest things that totally lack intelligence. All computer languages are based upon positive/negative charges, or "1"s and "0"s -- but it is the combination of these "1"s and "0"s -- and the speed with which they can be deciphered -- that gives the computer the appearance of intelligence.  But in the example of the computer, it is the sum and application of the duality of the "1"s and "0"s that manifests the third-force which man utilizes in his virtually countless computer applications.  And while the vast majority of people know how to move a mouse, or engage a key, few have any understanding whatsoever of Computer Science or the integration across the matrix of the computer bus and circuits that cause the images to dance across the screens.  Yet, if you were going to create an application -- or modify your computer to expand its present limitations -- you would have to comprehend Computer Science and the reality of the "1"s and "0"s that make the computer function.

Those few who seek to answer and prevail over the above proverbial questions -- and see to bring about the necessary Heightening And Expansion Of Mind that enables them to comprehend at a higher and more enlightened level than the rest of mankind -- recognize the necessity of comprehending the higher reality of mind -- or, what can be portrayed as the Science of Mind.  And in the same way that the computer programmer must understand the compilation and interactions of the "1"s and "0"s in the workings of a computer circuit and language, so too must the seeker/disciple who is striving to reach his true and ultimate potential, seek to understand the Science of Mind -- and the interaction of the duality and the third-force of mind which they are striving to raise up and expand beyond organic limitations.  And in this respect, it must be recognized that if it were even possible to eliminate the duality of all the "1"s, or the "0"s in the computer language, the computer would be dead and worthless, because it could no longer function.  Therefore, not only must the computer programmer understand and utilize the compilations of these essential "1"s and "0"s, but he must orchestrate them in such away, that together they fulfill the objectives of the program that is being worked on.   In the same way, not only must the seeker/disciple understand the interaction of the negative/positive (male/female) forces that manifest in the third-force of mind -- but he must utilize them in such a manner so as to orchestrate and bring about his higher spiritual objectives.   And it is for this reason that the Sacred Knowledge of the Forces and Laws of Mind was concealed and preserved within the allegorical body of the scriptures (see An Inconvenient Truth) -- and in Jesus' own words, a seeker/disciple needed to properly apply the Key of Knowledge in order to ascertain and utilize this Sacred Knowledge within their own Mind and Being in search of Self and the Inner Kingdom.

In the example of the linear and intuitive spheres of mind that I present in The Heightening And Expansion Of Mind, when it is realized that man's superior intellect is born out of a complexity of mind that is manifest in the twelve often paradoxical (duality) spheres of the Tree of Life (see The Enigma Of The Twelve) -- and that the interaction of these spheres is controlled by Laws that must be perfected and prevailed over -- then it can be understood that the interactions of the "1"s and "0"s in a computer or electrical circut can be seen as child's play in comparison.  And yet, because all of Creation is holographically imbued with this same pattern of Laws and Triune interactive realities, the seemingly complex can be rather simple when what you see is truly understood from the perspective of your own higher soul-reality.

When you buy a computer, it does not come with a book explaining the computer languages and detailed workings of the computer -- which virtually no one who buys a computer could even begin to comprehend.   The original Personal Computer (PC) worked on what was known as the DOS operating system.   But this was found to be too complicated for the average person to use -- so interfaces such as Windows was developed in order to create a point and click environment.   In very much the same way, the textual body of the scriptures do not even attempt to present the great body of esoteric knowledge that only the sincere and dedicated seeker/disciple must know to prevail and bring about the higher objectives of Creation within the individual.  In the same way that the users guide of a computer only conveys the simple interactions that make the computer function and animate the images that are danced across the screen, the written text of the Gospels convey to the believer the proper mindset and lifestyle necessary to begin to be worthy of being a disciple of TheWay.   It can be said therefore, that the literal text of the Gospels is representative of an very preliminary point and click environment that is intended to prepare the faith-based believer to begin to progress beyond a very elementary path that is intended to bring about a highly evolved condition and environment of maturity, wholeness and balance within the mind and body of the seeker/disciple.  In a recent legal case which I portray as the Cross and the Seat Belt, I begin my explanation of the true cause of accidents by exploring what can be called The Conditions Of One's Birth - Life - And Death. The fact that there is no such thing as an accident -- and every event in this world has a pre-existing cause -- from a seat belt perspective is synonymous with stating that the solution to water pollution, is not to drink water.  

The primary objective of the written text of the Gospels -- i.e.,. the human users manual -- is to change one's condition so that the believer is then prepared to begin to embrace the higher reality of the soul and spirit. Yet, the counterfeit shepherds who preach from the pulpits of the Churches peddled the dogma that they have a dispensation, and it is not necessary to embrace the mindset and lifestyle presented in the Gospels -- even when the cultural lifestyle they are presently living is openly condemned in the scriptures (see TheLie).  As stated in the article An Inconvenient Truth, all scriptures are allegorical -- with important esoteric knowledge that is of no use to the believer, concealed and preserved within the allegorical text of the scriptures.

In many respects the New Testament was written to free the people from enslavement to the ancient Mystery Religion known as Judaism -- and ultimately, all the Mystery Religions of the old world.  When the Gospels were originally written, there existed many important and essential truths written literally in the body of the text. But because the carnal Christians who called themselves Orthodox, did not possess the depth of mind to even begin to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and spirit, and the Kingdom of God which is within -- they either removed or edited out these important teachings that are essential to walk in TheWay (see The Corruption Of The Church). In the manner of carnal people, their primary concern was the satisfaction of their body appetites -- and the concept and necessary dedication of becoming a student/disciple of the Science of Mind -- i.e., picking up one's own cross and travailing in TheWay -- was something that they condemned as heresy. Their counterfeit shepherds who made a living out of dressing in robes and dispensing ritual and dogmatic dispensations intended to provide the masses of people salvation from physical death, used their armies to hunt down the heretics who maintained that their dogma was a fraud, and their ritual dispensations were worthless. And with the removal of the objective which Jesus commanded with respect to learning only from the One Teacher and True Prophet that Jesus taught to seek out within them (see True Prophet) -- the throwing away of the Key of Knowledge -- and the removal of the teachings on the pre-existant soul (see The Spiritual Castration Of The Church) -- the Church itself has been transformed into a whitened sepulcher that has been dogmatically rendered a tomb of death. Yet, in their folly, they assume that they can understand the higher reality, Laws and Forces that animate and manifest Creation.

The Universal Voice of the Mystic has always stated to mankind: If you want to see and understand the esoteric realities that I have seen and experienced, then you must do as I have myself done -- and there are no shortcuts of dispensations. Those who do not pick of their own cross and travail in TheWay, are not worthy to be taught by the One Teacher that Jesus said to seek out (see True Prophet) -- and thus, they dwell in the abyss of intellectual and spiritual poverty: "...if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty". And herein likes the crux of the problem -- i.e., to understand the Science of Mind and the Trinitarian Foundation of the Divine Pattern of Creation, one must begin to change their condition and create within themselves the necessary spiritual environment which in the allegory of the scriptures is portrayed as the Final Temple. And in this respect, the necessary knowledge which the Church suppressed and destroyed when it entered a covenant with Rome, is presented in The Three Lies and its associated links. But to bring about the necessary transformation of self into the Final Temple that enables the seeker/disciple to enter within the Holy of Holies with themselves and enter the Inner Kingdom, they must live their received level of knowledge in word, thought, desire and deed. Thus, like the prodigal son, they must begin their journey in TheWay back to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination ( http://GateOfEden.com ). And the further along they progress, the greater their understanding will become. 

   Understanding What We See: The Gospel of Thomas declares to the reader: "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you.  For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest."   What does this mean?   It is not until we begin to be conscious of the reality that everything we think we see, perceive and understand is a mere fragment of reality, that we can even begin to overcome the limits that this physical world places upon us.   Jesus portrayed man as having abandoned the Kingdom in order to journey into the Far Country in the parable of the (two sons) prodigal son.   He portrayed this world as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- which "outer darkness" is synonymous and parallel to the plight of mankind in what is known as Plato's Cave.  That man in his organic "natural" state of mind is severely limited and fragmented in what he thinks he sees, perceives and understands, is what Jesus portrays as the condition of blindness that immerses all of mankind in the "outer darkness" of mind and being.   And it was because of this inherent blindness that Jesus explained: “For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts...” (Matt 13:15-17 NIV) -- and thus, what Jesus revealed is that mankind in his organic "natural" state of mind, was inherently blind, deaf and unable to understand man's own higher soul and spiritual reality.   And that it is further impossible for even baptized and committed believers to understand the true meaning of the Bible -- and all of life -- and this long ignored biblical fact is clearly demonstrated and explored at the subheading entitled The Mystery Of The Gospel  And when Paul explained to the Congregation of Christians who he had himself taught that: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.  I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal" (1 Cor 3:1-3 NKJ). -- it was because they had only begun their journey in TheWay, and were yet too immature and carnal to not only perceive their own higher soul and spiritual reality -- but to understand the inner meaning of the Gospel and scriptures.  

The gaining of what the Gospel portrays as the "eyes to see" and the "ears to hear" that is necessary in order to escape the limitations of the "outer darkness", is very much found in the words: "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you.   In the subheading on The Holographic Pattern Of Creation, I portray this world as a mental-womb that has the potential to supply and nourish the seeker with the necessary thoughts and mental-impressions to bring about the next stage of birth that Jesus said was necessary to enter into Life (see The Laws And The Birth Process).     What is therefore imperative to understand is the fact that the scriptures are written in allegory, because all that we see when we look out into the world are in fact thoughts and realities of mind impressed into the forms of Nature which immerse man in a Mental-Womb that is necessary for his development and next stage of birth.    Science has already proven that what man sees with his physical senses is a mental-projection of what exists in the Field which surrounds physical matter (see Science - Religion - And The Etheric Field/Mind).   And in his physical organic condition, man remains inherently blind to the source in the (Etheric) Field.   Science has further come to understand that we dwell in a holographic universe that is a projected thought -- and our physical brains interpret a certain spectrum of frequencies as being concrete -- but in reality, what we perceive as concrete is merely that spectrum of frequency (of thought) within the holographic reality of this world.   In an excerpt of the book Active Consciousness - Awakening The Power Within, by Amy L. Lansky, it is stated that:  "If a holographic image has many different holograms embedded within it, shining a laser of a specific frequency upon it will cause only those holograms made with lasers of the same frequency to stand out. That's because things with the same vibration naturally resonate and reinforce one another -- just as two violin strings at the same pitch resonate with one another. This property of resonance has [also] been used to explain how each of us might interact with mysterious fields like the psi or Akashic fields... People pick up only that with which they personally 'resonate.' Each individual's resonant frequency, determined by their life experience, physical body, and energy body, limits what they can perceive."

What you have here is the human dilemma -- i.e., "...That's because things with the same vibration naturally resonate and reinforce one another" -- which is why your body-senses which are comprised of earth-matter, and resonates at an earth-frequency, is generally incapable of perceiving beyond this very limited spectrum -- even though, all of reality lies before each person with nothing concealed.  Moreover, because there is nothing but thought-images impressed into the forms of Nature -- and you are presently dwelling in what can best be portrayed as a mental-womb -- what you are actually seeing is thoughts which have been molded and impressed into allegorical forms.  And when properly understood, this is the analogy of the Outer Darkness and Plato's Cave.  But the greater problem is that the vision of each person is further constrained by their very limited mindset -- and they can't even begin to "open and unloose" the mind as the Gospel proclaims.  And in never developing the mind to perceive and think beyond the narrowest of limitations within an already limited spectrum of the holographic field.   Now add to this the fact that each of the twelve spheres of mind imposes a sectarian perception on what is seen -- and of course these are again filtered by the holographic reality of the twelve within the twelve -- and this is why organic man is not only blind to reality outside of the frequency spectrum of the earth -- but also, sees and thinks within a very narrow spectrum of even the limited frequencies of the earth.  Further, we see in what is portrayed as the Tower of Babel Syndrome that "...People pick up only that with which they personally 'resonate.' Each individual's resonant frequency, determined by their life experience, physical body, and energy body, limits what they can perceive" -- and this is why each group is only capable of hearing and understanding the rhetoric of their own group -- why men don't understand women, and vice versa -- why man is divided across countless sectarian and philosophical schools of thought, all of which remain incomplete and dead-ended.  

  Gender-Blindness And The Process Of Birth: In view of the foregoing where the extreme limitations of man's vision, perception and understanding of what he thinks he sees is explored, it is important to also come to understand what can be called man's inherent Gender-Blindness.  When it is understood that this world is very much a mental-womb where the next stage of birth must be brought about -- and that having emerged into this world, man and woman can very much be portrayed as a cosmic ovum and sperm (see The Cosmic Ovum And Sperm) -- and that man and woman is in reality an embryonic image of their true self that already exists in the embodiment of their eternal Soul-Self (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image) -- then it will become necessary for the seeker/disciple to re-evaluate the whole of our modern-day cultural mindset and lifestyle.   Once again quoting from the excerpt of the book Active Consciousness - Awakening The Power Within, by Amy L. Lansky, it is stated that: "Biologist Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance also depends upon similarity in vibration. Members of the same species, being 'on the same wavelength,' are able to tap into information that pertains uniquely to them. And while members of an entire species might be able to tune into a fairly broad spectrum of frequencies (think of Carl Jung's notion of the collective unconscious that humans supposedly tap into [5]), smaller, more tightly connected groups -- such as members of the same family or loving couples -- resonate in more focused zones of vibration; they have access to their own "private frequency.' In fact, Sheldrake goes even further and suggests that morphic fields can explain how human memory operates. Instead of being stored in our brains, he suggests that memories are stored in the morphic field. Our brains then pick them up via resonance, like radios tuning to their own private stations."

To morph, is to transform.   In The Brain Mind/Connection, it has already been demonstrated that the mind and/or personality of the person is in the Etheric Field that surrounds and immerses the body-vessel.   And this fact is explored and proven in The Folly Of The NDE Critic.   (quoting) What does the Bible state?    With respect to man's ability to release himself from the body-vessel, Paul writes that: "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-- whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows-- such a one was caught up to the third heaven.  And I know such a man-- whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows -- how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter" (2 Cor 12:2-4 NKJ).   What Paul is describing is an inner journey beyond the limitations of the physical body -- to what he portrays as the third level of heaven -- beyond the inner gate of the body and what Paul portrays as Paradise -- where he "...heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."   That other disciples of TheWay brought about this same transformation of body and mind that enabled them to enter the Inner Kingdom ( http://GateOfEden.com ), represents an important aspect of the original spiritual objectives of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay.    Jesus taught that there is One Teacher -- and you must learn only from this One Teacher (see The True Prophet) -- and the substance of Jesus' teachings of TheWay, was to enable the disciple to enter the "narrow gate" within themselves, and learn the Sacred Secrets of Creation directly from the One Teacher.  

What Jesus taught with respect to an inner Kingdom and a Source of All Truth which the ancients called the Logos or Mind of God (see Logos), is not at all a religious belief -- but rather, a fact of life that has been proven to be true by countless seekers the world over.    That those who choose to live their lives in often total abandonment of any higher moral or spiritual values and standards, can't duplicate this same inner journey into the Inner Kingdom -- and the fact that these same individuals are perceived to dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- or what Plato portrayed as the Cave of Illusions -- is merely the fruit of their own thinking as their carnal chickens come home to roost!   When the cultural authorities said the world was flat -- and Columbus ignored their self-imposed beliefs, and traveled to the New World, it was not a religious belief that the New World existed -- just like it is not a religious belief that each of us has an inner gateway to the Kingdom within.   This is a fact of life that has been confirmed by countless witnesses who have themselves made the inner journey.   That those who, as the prodigal son who squandered away his inheritance -- i.e., his vital life-force and bio-energies -- which portray people who defile their body and choose to live as heathen beasts -- thereby  "...destroys and pollutes, as far as in them lies, the Deity dwelling in them - that is, the Logos -- by association with their vices”  (see Logos) -- and because of this defilement and pollution, they dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see  The Outer Darkness ) that causes them to be blind to man's own higher reality of soul and the Kingdom -- does not at all mean that all of mankind must remain spiritually blind, and alienated from the higher knowledge of the soul and the Kingdom of God.   From a purely Constitutional perspective, the knowledge of this inner Kingdom and the higher reality of the soul can and should be portrayed as a birth-right -- and this sacred knowledge is therefore very much an UnAlienable Right that can't be censored by counterfeit teachers who knowingly suppress and censor the facts in order to promote a godless and immoral culture.   Again, to clarify -- while the existence of the inner Kingdom is a fact, religion is the mindset and lifestyle that the person must live and put into practice, in order to break down the barrier of separation of what is allegorically portrayed as heaven and earth within themselves. 

The primary cultural flaw is the conclusion of each person that they are the true person they think they are -- and that they are themselves Whole.  When in truth they are in fact the next holographic level of (cosmic) sperm and ovum (see The Cosmic Ovum And Sperm).  From the perspective of man's higher reality, on a holographic level of physical reproduction, a child is merely the third-force pattern of the duality of the mother and father being played out in an allegorical analogy.  If man understood the Laws, he would begin to grasp that in this Living Allegory, his third-force offspring is presented to him, so he can better understand himself and his being in this world.  And in this respect, the duality of man is very much as one half of the two sides of a heart -- one half of the two hemispheres of the brain -- one half of the equation of the two lungs -- etc., etc..  And in relation to his higher soul-self which is his true-self, his inherent sperm-thinking in the case of the male, or ovum-thinking in the case of a female, must be seen as a fatal flaw that inhibits his progress.   But since most organic men and women don't even much understand each other -- i.e., they see a different spectrum of frequency within the cosmic hologram -- they speak different languages -- they are generally incapable of perceiving and understanding their own higher soul-realty.  And whatever they do sense out of the Astral, is warped because of their own lack of wholeness.

On a mental and spiritual level, physical sex is the means to connect the two half's, and begin the process of exchange of impressions -- enabling not only mental interaction, but the Heightening And Expansion Of Mind that enables them to comprehend at a higher and more enlightened level than the rest of mankind.   By Law, the greater the bonding between husband and wife -- in conjunction with mental exploration and expansion -- the greater the growth of the third-force that is the (mental) substance of the union -- a third-force reality which exists in the Etheric that both have equal access to.  And as explained in the diagrams of the Triangle, the Star of David, and the Tree of Life in The Trinity And The Divine Pattern Of Creation, it is the male/female interaction within the Natural Laws of Creation, that evolves the Third-force (of mind) up to a soul-self level of manifestation.  Physical sex, therefore, is the physical means of connecting the two halves and initiating and maintaining the process where the exchange of thoughts and impressions is raised up and again exchanged at a higher level of mind, where they are then channeled into evolving the third-force that is by Design, the means to move beyond the limitations of the frequency spectrum of this world.

Sexual immorality is condemned in the scriptures, because it is an inhibiting factor in the development of the third-force.  In order to evolve, the thought-impressions must be exchanged, raised up, and again exchanged at a higher level, in order to evolve the third-force beyond the limitations of earth-frequencies.  Since on one level you stay connected to whom ever you have had sex with, there is only the exchange of low-level thought-impressions which cannot be exchanged at a higher level -- and only drive the person into confusion and meaningless carnal thinking.  Thus, mentally and spiritually grounding the people to the mundane earth. And while the more advanced the soul, the more they are able to deal with adverse body environmental conditions, in most instances even these few become warped in their perception and thinking. In the same way that a genetic imbalance in a developing embryo creates mental impairment and conditions such as Down Syndrome, the same is true on the next higher holographic level with the bombardment of low-level thoughts from people who one has been previously connected to. In the same way that the two sides of the hear must move and resonate together, so too must husband and wife. 

  The Holographic Pattern Of Sex: In beginning to understand the above patterns of a hologram, what man perceives as sex and procreation, is merely a sub-pattern in the physical that is true at each higher level within the holographic Divine Pattern.   In the same way that an ovum and sperm must become united and evolved in order to bring about the manifestation of human life, when man and woman are understood as a cosmic sperm and ovum on the next level of the hologram (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image) -- and it is recognized that male and female is representative of half of the whole from a higher soul-perspective -- then the dynamics of the male/female relationship must be seen and understood as two halves coming together in order to create a soul-level embryo within themselves.    In the same way that the two halves of the heart cannot be seen as separate from each other -- and in like manner, the two lungs, the two testis and ovaries, and the two halves/hemispheres of the brain -- it is not until man and woman are understood as two halves of the one, that the biblical reality of the Divine Marriage can be understood.   As stated in the above in  The Trinity And The Divine Pattern Of Creation, a most important teaching which was removed from the Gospels is preserved in the Second Epistle of Clement where Jesus teaches on the coming of the Kingdom in the words: “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 husband/wife into a spiritual embryo in the pattern of the physical embryo that becomes a fetus.   As stated in the above quotation: "Biologist Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance also depends upon similarity in vibration... loving couples -- resonate in more focused zones of vibration; they have access to their own "private frequency.' In fact, Sheldrake goes even further and suggests that morphic fields can explain how human memory operates. Instead of being stored in our brains, he suggests that memories are stored in the morphic field. Our brains then pick them up via resonance, like radios tuning to their own private stations."    

In the above subheading on The Divine Counterpart and The Soul, I reference the works of both Philip K. Dick, G.I.Gurdjieff and Emerson who all portray the physical personality as a false-self or ego-self that is oblivious to the true being of the higher soul-self.   In the writings of what Gurdjieff called The Fourth Way, an organic system is presented whereby man emits what I portray as vital life-force, which I relate in the above to the inheritance that the prodigal son squanders away on "riotous" living -- i.e., (quoting) That those who, as the prodigal son who squandered away his inheritance -- i.e., his vital life-force and bio-energies -- which portray people who defile their body and choose to live as heathen beasts -- thereby  "...destroys and pollutes, as far as in them lies, the Deity dwelling in them - that is, the Logos -- by association with their vices”  (see Logos) -- and because of this defilement and pollution, they dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see  The Outer Darkness ) that causes them to be blind to man's own higher reality of soul and the Kingdom.    In the Divine Marriage I demonstrate where, in the vast majority of instances, the Creative Force is passed from the male to the female -- and then, because of lack of development and/or connections in the Etheric that defiles the union and makes Marriage in the Spiritual impossible, the vital life-force is lost into Nature.    Yet, when the Creative Force and the vital life-force of the male and female is channeled within the Marriage -- and raised up in the development of a soul-seeker husband and wife -- the vital life-force is channeled within the union into the Morphic Field -- harnessing the very Laws and Forces of Creation as brought forth by Creator-God --  which inhibits and even stops the vital life-force from being lost into Nature -- bringing about the Spiritual Evolution of the Divine Marriage through The Heightening And Expansion Of Mind -- creating within the husband and wife a Morphic Field that has the power to transform and initiate the next stage of birth.

Not only can the dynamic spiritual-embryo of husband and wife generate the necessary impressions which are used to bring about the Heightening And Expansion Of Mind that enables them to comprehend at a higher and more enlightened level than the rest of mankind -- but they have access to a very personalized morphic field.    In the findings of Sheldrake: "Morphic field is a term introduced by Sheldrake. He proposes that there is a field within and around a morphic unit which organizes its characteristic structure and pattern of activity. According to this concept, the morphic field underlies the formation and behaviour of holons and morphic units, and can be set up by the repetition of similar acts or thoughts. The hypothesis is that a particular form belonging to a certain group, which has already established its (collective) morphic field, will tune into that morphic field. The particular form will read the collective information through the process of morphic resonance, using it to guide its own development. This development of the particular form will then provide, again through morphic resonance, a feedback to the morphic field of that group, thus strengthening it with its own experience, resulting in new information being added (i.e. stored in the database). (see Morphic Field).  

In the case of a Spiritual Divine Marriage, the Morphic Field becomes the expanded spheres of mind of the husband and wife, which harmonious resonance provides them access to, to the exclusion of all other people.   But, when the dynamics of male and female is rightfully understood, what is presented in Sheldrake's morphic field is only the beginning of the process.    Because of the Oneness and Wholeness of the Marriage which brings together the divided spheres of the Tree of Duality (see The Trinity And The Divine Pattern Of Creation) -- which Wholeness and Unity provides access to what is portrayed as the fruit of the Tree of Life -- this fulfillment of the Laws and Forces opens a gateway for both husband and wife to manifest and access their higher soul-selves (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image) that is the true being that they are.    

The scriptures condemn adultery and sex outside of the marriage union, because as stated in the above in Gender Blindness, the people (and especially the woman) remains connected on an etheric level to each person they have had sex with.   Since it is the dynamics of sexual interaction and the exchange of bodily fluids that unites the two halves into one unit, then the impressions from each previous sexual partner uses these etheric connections.   That these connections in the Etheric Fields of the people involved in the sexual unions often result in the bombardment of negative thoughts, is a reality that was known and understood by the Mystic authors of the Torah and Gospels.   Further, the disruptions caused by these connections in the Etheric Field of the individual, are often the cause of physical disease and maladies, because these negative connections not only interfere with the flow of vital life-force, but drain the person of necessary energy needed to bring about the expansion of the mind, through connections to others.     In the case of the Woman at the Well who could not receive the Living Waters due to the fact that she did not have a husband (see Woman At The Well), her connection to five other men was easily seen and detected by Jesus, because the connections were observed in her Etheric Field/Mind.   Moreover, because she was anchored to five men -- and could not therefore even have a husband -- her lifestyle and mindset inhibited her from receiving the Living Waters of the Spirit (see  Lilith, The Demonic Reality Of The Modern Feminist Movement ).   And it was for this very reason with respect to connections in the Etheric Field/Mind that anchored people to this world, that Jesus condemned even looking on another person who was not your spouse with lust -- i.e., "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matt 5:27-28 NKJ - see Divine Pattern).   Did Jesus pronounce in the Gospels that it's OK to embrace the culture of this world -- to pursue the life of a whore, or in the case of men, to be a whoremonger?   No, in fact he stated to the woman at the well that she could not receive the Living Waters, because of her (Etheric) connections to five other men who inhibited her from even having a husband.  

Sexual purity between husband and wife, on the other hand, can bestow upon the couple all the blessings and advantages of the Laws, without any negative detriments whatsoever.    In the same way that a sperm and ovum are paired opposites that have been Created for the express purpose of bringing about birth and life, so too does man and woman remain within this Divine Pattern (see Cosmic Ovum And Sperm).   The Laws of Creator-God have insured that, within the environment of the Divine Marriage is all the elements of mind and being on a physical, mental/soul and spiritual level, to bring about ultimate spiritual blessings and success.  

If it is true that our very physical bodies represent the alchemical Philosopher's Stone upon which the transformation from base to precious substance must be brought about, then the long ignored statement of Paul must be revisited through more enlightened eyes of understanding -- i.e., "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!  Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For 'the two,' He says, 'shall become one flesh.'  But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.  Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?  For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Cor 6:15-20 NKJ).   

What does it mean that any other sin is outside your body, while sexual immorality is a sin against your own body -- which body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit?   And what is the Temple of the Holy Spirit?   Why, it is the Final Temple that is allegorically portrayed in the scriptures (see Temple).   And it's transformation is the application of the Laws within the construct of a Consecrated Divine Marriage, that brings about the subsequent stages of birth that Jesus stated was necessary to enter in the inner Kingdom.   

In the same way that the first stage of birth is brought about through the interaction of male and female in the creation of a fetus -- and Jesus taught that you must be born again to achieve the next stage of birth and entrance into the Kingdom -- the article The Divine Marriage demonstrates how Spiritual Husband and Wife can invoke the Laws and Forces of Creation within themselves, in order to bring about the necessary Spiritual Transformation that initiates the next stage of soul-birth.   Yet, the very environment of Marriage has been destroyed -- with great harm inflicted upon the young impressionable minds of children, with the resulting defilment associated with our sexualized cultural lifestyle (see  Lilith, The Demonic Reality Of The Modern Feminist Movement ) -- which has deprived the people of even the opportunity of receiving their inheritance as the offspring of God.    Moreover, our culture has robbed the people of understanding both the reason and potential of their gender differences.  

Once again the words of Dr Luan Brizendine in her book entitled, The Female Mind are of primary importance to understand where she writes that: "There is no unisex brain. Girls arrive already wired as girls, and boys arrive already wired as boys. Their brains are different by the time they're born, and their brains are what drive their impulses, values and their very reality. I know it is not politically correct to say this but I've been torn for years between my politics and what science is telling us. I believe women actually perceive the world differently from men. If women attend to those differences they can make better decisions about how to manage their lives."    As a husband or wife, it is absolutely necessary not only to recognize this difference which is the result of being opposite polarities within the One, but it is necessary to foster those differences and innate abilities which cause man and woman to see and perceive the world differently -- and often, opposite from one another.    As explained in the article The Divine Marriage , not only must a man or woman not expect their spouse to see and perceive the world as they do -- but they must permit the thoughts, the perceptions, and the impressions of their spouse, to expand their consciousness -- while maintaining a connection with their native gender reality.    As stated in the book Brain Sex, by Anne Moir and David Jessel, where they wrote: "Men are different from women. They are equal only in their common membership of the same species, humankind. To maintain that they are the same in aptitude, skill or behaviour is to build a society based on a biological and scientific lie".    With the warning that: "What you will read in this book about the differences between men and women may make both sexes angry or smug. Both reactions are wrong. If women have reason to rage, it is not because science has set at naught their hard-won struggle towards equality; their wrath should rather be directed at those who have sought to misdirect and deny them their very essence".    And in appraising the vast difference in the feminine intuitive mind from it's male opposite, the authors conclude that "Women should contribute their specific female gifts rather than waste their energies in the pursuit of a sort of surrogate masculinity. A woman’s greater imagination can solve intractable problems - be they professional or domestic - at one apparently intuitive stroke."

A woman who has been indoctrinated by our culture and system of education to think as a surrogate man -- a condition which forces her to reject not only her own innate intuitive cognitive powers of mind and being that most men not only don't possess, but reject because they don't understand these feminine abilities -- will be forced to greatly struggle to undo the harm that was inflicted upon her by our culture.   In the same way that many indigenous cultures inflict harm through genital mutilation of the female at puberty, our own western culture inflicts harm through the mental mutilation of robbing a woman of her inherent gifts that not only separates -- but can be seen as saving her male counterpart from his genetic fate and limitations which invoke his death through the failure to achieve the next stage of birth.     In the same way that an egg needs a sperm, and a sperm needs an egg, in order to fulfill its destiny, there is a higher soul and spiritual reality that can only be achieved when a man and woman enters into a true Divine Marriage.   And the building blocks which bring about this second stage of birth, is not only the invocation of the Laws -- but the nourishment of thoughts and impressions which bring about the spiritual objective presented in the above Spiritual objective of "...the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.  

While men and women have interacted sexually, emotionally and culturally since the dawn of time itself, their gain is usually at a snails pace at best.   It is not until both the man and woman become cognizant of the mental void that immersed each of them in opposite prisons -- becoming conscious of their own shortfalls and genetically inherited strengths -- that they can begin to solve the perplexing riddle of the gender differences.    And becoming cognizant of ones voids as a man or woman, is merely the beginning of the path to overcome the shackles of those voids that inhibit man's progress.

Spiritual Alchemy represents the transformation of self that fulfills the requirement that makes the two "one flesh" -- and by brining this transformation about, enables the seeker/disciple to restore Wholeness within themselves.   In the many allegorical accounts presented in the Gospels, Jesus healed by brining about Wholeness -- but few believers understand what this means.    In the allegorical account of Genesis, Adam was in Wholeness only when Eve was united to him -- and they are often portrayed as such in Jewish Mysticism.    In the same way that the second day of Creation is the only day not portrayed as being good, all division and separation brings death from the perspective of the higher reality of being.   Adam and Eve were warned not to eat the fruit of the Tree of Duality (aka Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil) -- and yet, few biblical students are able to take this allegorical reality, and extend the pattern into every aspect of life.   

On a level of mind, the individual thoughts of a man or woman, represent the fruit of the Tree of Duality.   And in the same way that an ovum or sperm can be seen individually, it must also be understood that from an individual perspective, the destiny of an individual ovum or sperm is death.    And in taking the pattern to the next level of Creation and birth, this is also true of man and woman.   On a mental level, the thoughts, perceptions and impressions of a man and woman, represent the fruit of the Tree of Duality.   And in the same way that in the allegory of the Genesis Account, man was banished from the Garden so they could not put forth their hand and eat also of the Tree of Life and inherit Eternal Life, the duality of man and woman can only be overcome when they join and become "one flesh", in a Divine Marriage .   And you must take the fruit of duality which is the gender based mindset, thoughts and impressions, and bring about a third-force balance that bears the fruit of the Tree of Life.

In revisiting some of the foundational concepts that reveals to us the higher spiritual reality, the statement in the Encyclopedia Britannica under the heading, The History of Christian Mysticism, that "...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” (see Heightening And Expansion Of Mind), with that of Einstein's that "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." (see Intuitive vs Rational-linear) -- it is the interaction of higher elevated thoughts and impressions (see Impressions As Food), and the resonance of the husband and wife within a Divine Marriage builds what Rupert Sheldrake portrays as a Morphic Field (see Gender Blindness And Birth) that only the husband and wife have access to -- which evolves the Union through the interaction of the Intuitive-Feminine and the Linear-Male.    

  Why There Is No Such Thing As Reincarnation? - Or Heavenly Glory? Once again man's inability to comprehend his own higher soul-reality, is largely because of his inherent inability to understand the nature of Duality and Paradox.     And once again when this inherent paradoxical duality is understood as being of the mind -- and the duality of the male and female columns of the Tree of Life is understood --  along with the duality and division of what is portrayed in the diagram at the right as the Heavenly Kingdom and the Earthly Kingdom -- then it is the duality of the fruit or knowledge of the paradoxical truths of this world that is portrayed as the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that brings death to the eater thereof.   And a prime example of this forbidden paradoxical truth is demonstrated in the beliefs in either Eastern reincarnation or that of the Western idea that believers go to Glory.   The problem is seen in the fact that both beliefs hold a degree of truth as well as error -- and like all paradoxical truths, greater error is embraced when you embrace the one polarity and reject its opposite -- which is from a higher soul-perspective, equally true. 

In Emerson's article on the Oversoul it is stated that "...our conscious ego is slight and limited in comparison to the soul, despite the fact that we habitually mistake our ego for our true self" (see The Oversoul).  And in like manner, in The Ten Principles Of Gnostic Revelation Philip K. Dick writes: "Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us to awaken us. This other personality is the authentic waking self; the one we have now is asleep and minor" (see The Divine Counterpart).    In the teachings of G.I.Gurdjieff the people of this world are portrayed as "false personalities".    In the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 the people of this world are portrayed as previously generated failed images (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image).  

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. 

Those personalities who are portrayed as false-personality by Gurdjieff, or the ego-self by Emerson and Dick, or failed-images of the soul which is the true being that we are, cannot reincarnate -- simply because only the true being that we are can either (re)incarnate, or go to Glory in the Christian understanding.   Jesus taught to "Enter by the narrow gate"  -- and unless the ego-self is able to bring about the next stage of birth they "...cannot see the kingdom of God"  -- being not the real self, Gospel of Thomas saying 84 correctly portrays them as unmanifest (failed) images of the soul.   And it can therefore be stated that these failed images are not "known by God", because they are the direct expression of the soul -- and their connection to God is by proxy through the soul.   In like manner the Deists or American Gnostics stated that Creator-God did not directly intervene in the affairs of man -- i.e., that Creator-God "...endowed the world at creation with self-sustaining and self-acting powers and then abandoned it to the operation of these powers acting as second causes."   -- and when properly understood, if Creator-God directly intervened in the lives of man, that would be synonymous with intervening in the thought-images of the soul that is being perfected by the "self-sustaining and self-acting powers and Laws" of God that controls the development of the soul in order to bring about its ultimate destiny.    

The Eastern concept of reincarnation where the soul passes through a cloud of forgetfulness upon entering the body in the process of rebirth, is based upon a profound ignorance of the soul or true self that remains in what is portrayed as the realm of souls.   And in the same way that Gospel of Thomas saying 84 portrays the plight of the failed image as having come into being after the previous failed images of the soul -- 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!" -- those failed images can neither reincarnate, nor can they go to Glory as the Christians imagine.    As failed images, they are very much as portrayed in the (above) Schofield Reference Bible as "...unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”.    And yet, when the higher reality of the soul is understood as being segmented and comprised of almost countless separate holographic conscious parts that comprise the Whole -- i.e., "The soul...", writes St. Teresa, is as “a castle made of a single diamond… in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions” (Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila in Soul Symphony - Time - Soul-Octaves - Spiritual Cathedral) -- only then can we begin to comprehend the plight of the failed images which the soul has generated into this world.   And at the forgoing link I explore what St. Teresa portrays as  “a castle made of a single diamond… in which there are many rooms", as the spiritual and mental embodiment of a Great Matrix of Mind within which each of the previous images which the soul-self has generated and lived, as existing in separate rooms within the mansion of the soul.  

In the preceding subheading entitled The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man, it is demonstrated that time is merely a dimension of mind within the higher reality of the soul-self -- existing within the Great Matrix of Mind of the soul.    Thus, the Encyclopedia states that: In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices, or less commonly matrixes) is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions. The individual items in a matrix are called its elements or entries" -- and in the mental matrix of the soul, each previous image represents a point of consciousness within a field of dynamic life-experiences of the soul-self that is the sum total of all the experiences of all the lives that the soul has lived.    Where man often imagines God as a Great Amoeba where oneness means the same -- just the opposite is true -- and oneness is the sum total of a great diversity of different experiences and conscious realities that Complete and bring about Wholeness.   And since the soul was created in the (holographic) image of God, then the soul in like manner is the sum total of all the life-experiences of all the images that exist as points of consciousness and being within the mansion of the soul-self.   And in many respects, this higher soul-reality can be portrayed as the embodiment of what the Church portrays as Hell, because each image-personality within the matrix of the soul-mind continues to dwell in the reality of the life that it lived here on earth.  

The Church Father Origen stated that “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis) -- and these strengths and weaknesses are the direct expression of the victories and/or defeats dynamically manifest within the matrix of the soul-mind that each person in the present life draws upon.   Where man envisions memory as being stored and ingrained in a computer like storage disk that can be looked up, such a scenario is simply not the case.   All the past images that the soul has lived as, continues to exist within the matrix of the soul-mind -- and as portrayed by St. Teresa, it can be said that each has its own room or space within the countless segments of the castle of the soul.   And since time is a dimension of mind (see The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man), each of these past image-personalities exist as points of consciousness within the soul-mind matrix.   Within the matrix of the soul that lived as Hitler, the personality of Hitler still dwells as a point of consciousness that continues his former existence.   And in like manner, Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan expressed the mystical teachings of the Jewish sage Isaac Luria when he stated that the 6 million Holocaust victims "were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done”  (see The Chickens Come Home To Roost).   Which means that within the matrix of mind of the soul who lived as Hitler, exists a previous image-personality who were victimized by the people who lived as Jews under Nazi Germany.   In the same foregoing link I present the example of Barack Obama's spiritual advisor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright who subscribes to what is called Black Liberation Theology.   And within the matrix of the soul-mind of the Rev. Wright exists an image-personality that previously lived as a white slave owner.   Which means that the Rev. Wright's hatred of white people is the result of his abominations towards the black race by a previous soul-image that continues to dwell within the matrix of the Rev. Wright's soul. 

Mankind who Jesus portrays as dwelling in the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- or what Plato portrays as a Cave of illusions -- dwells within a holographic reality that exists within a larger holograph that he cannot gain access to without the proper development of mind.   And while the Laws of Creation orchestrate the events based upon man's own past experiences in the present -- and it is these Laws and Forces which the Deists portrayed as being "...endowed ...with self-sustaining and self-acting powers ...acting as second causes" which orchestrate and even script the lives of man in the present that cause him to confront his own self -- i.e., “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV) -- it is the development of man's intuitive spheres of mind that provides him direct access into the previous soul-images within the matrix of the soul-mind that has orchestrated the events that man is experiencing in the present (see Spiritual Intuitive Development).   If Hitler had been able to directly draw upon his previous experiences as a victim of the aggression of those people who in his live were born as Jews who Rabbi Yosefan portrayed as having previously lived as "...sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done”, then he might have been able to draw upon the insight to break the perpetual loop of the Laws (see Groundhog Day in What's Wrong With Wearing A Seat Belt? ), and he would have been able to overcome the Laws which the Deists portrayed as being "...endowed ...with self-sustaining and self-acting powers", and free himself from the shackles of what Jesus portrayed as The Prison -- or the Conditions of Birth.  

Did the Jews who prayed for deliverance from Hitler invoke the Law of Grace by repenting from their own past actions which had orchestrated their lives in the present?   Has the Rev. Wright repented from his own past as a white slave owner?   And in accord with the conditions of The Prison of which Jesus stated “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26) -- would people act differently if they realized that their present experiences is a direct result of the previous actions of their own past soul-images?   In most instances, the religious/philosophical and political leaders in the present, were the leaders in the past, and they are merely confronting their own previous actions.   That their followers who blindly attach themselves to these leaders, share in the fate of what the Laws orchestrate as each man confronts his own past, is a reality that can be portrayed as a common destiny under the Laws.    The Germans who followed Hitler, will in the future follow their leader into a type of future hell.   In like manner, those who sit in the congregation of people such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright who blames the white race from is plight as a black man, will continue in the future to share in the destiny that awaits them based upon their present allegiance to the Rev. Wright.    And this is true of all of mankind with respect to the good, the bad and the truly ugly events of this world.   The Law is that as you do unto others, the same will be returned to you.   And while this return may not be in the present life, it will come back upon the soul until the last debt is repaid and neutralized -- i.e., "...till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (see Getting Out Of The Prison).    And of even greater importance is the fact that so long as debts are owed to one's brothers and sisters, it remains impossible to fulfill the Laws and manifest the Final Temple within one's self (see The Laws - The Gift On The Altar) -- which renders such a person totally incapable of true spiritual development and advancement, and incapable of understanding the higher reality of the soul.   Which means that such a person is doomed to failure as a generated soul-image, until the debts under the Laws are first satisfied and overcome.

  Prayer - And Man's Interaction With The Laws: When the Spiritual Americans who were known as Deists, portrayed Creator-God as having "...endowed the world at creation with self-sustaining and self-acting powers and then abandoned it to the operation of these powers acting as second causes" (see American Spirituality), mankind has the ability to interact and invoke these Laws with both his thoughts and actions.   But, in order to invoke the Law of Grace, one must have repented, had a change of mind, and demonstrate this change of mind through one's actions towards their brothers and sisters.  

In the above subheading on The Divine Counterpart, Philip K. Dick portrays man's relationship to his higher soul-self in the words: "Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us to awaken us. This other personality is the authentic waking self; the one we have now is asleep and minor."    But without a change of mind demonstrated through our actions, it would be impossible for the image-personality that is manifest in this world, to be helped by the higher soul-self who is portrayed as our divine counterpart that is unfallen.    Christians, who have themselves rejected any knowledge of the Laws, imagine that Creator-God is going to intervene in the life of man whose plight is being orchestrated and scripted by the Laws of God that returns each person's actions back upon themselves -- and in their ignorance they imagine that Creator-God will bypassing man's unfallen soul-self who is his true self -- and come to the rescue of fallen man without a repentance and change of mind on his part.   Thereby rejecting the words of Jesus when he warned with respect to the conditions of The Prison: “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing”.     

In the subheadings on  American Spirituality the Laws of this world are portrayed as a Living Bio-Feedback machine that responds back to each person's thoughts and actions.     The whole of what is called the New Thought religious movement is based upon the reality that the Laws of this world respond to our thoughts -- and the projection of positive thoughts, returns back to man positive results.   New Thought is based upon the work of Phineas P. Quimby (see Father Of New Thought) -- and what is known as the Quimby Manuscripts is available for study.    But more important is the fact that Quimby proved that the Laws responded to the thinking and actions of the person.  

In the same way that the practitioners of New Thought could interact in a positive manner with the Laws -- bringing about positive results in their lives -- when Christians or other religious people pray or beseech the Lord for help, if their request is sincere and for the greater good, they are able to invoke the Laws to bring about the conditions they seek.   Moreover, if their is a change in mind and actions for the good, then their own higher soul-self is able to reach down and assist them -- i.e., in the words of Philip Dick: "Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us".   

     

 

  The Dynamic-Matrix And Cosmology Of Mind: Why is man of a greater intelligence than the animal kingdom?   Why are some men said to be wise and full of wisdom, while others are ignorant and unknowing?  What makes God the Supreme Intelligence?   What does it mean to Know Thyself?   While these questions are of the utmost importance, few people could correctly answer them with any wisdom and understanding.   Why?   Because they lack an understanding of the reality of thought and mind that has the power to enlighten.  

Many in the New Age can be portrayed as worshiping a god that is perhaps best portrayed as a divine amoeba -- where the concepts of equality and oneness, is interpreted to be the same.     What is not realized is the fact that Supreme Intellect and Knowing is dependent upon the wisdom gained through experiential knowledge -- which is itself drawn upon a great diversity of experiences that are raised up to a Higher Order and Perception of Reality.   A wise man is wise, because he is able to draw upon a great body of diverse experiences in the endeavor to arrive at an intelligent and enlightened position.   An immature child or adolescent lacks wisdom and insight, because the immature mind cannot draw upon the diversity of experiences that the person of great wisdom does.     But because this great diversity of experiential knowledge must be dynamic -- and able to be accessed across the spectrum of paradoxical opposites -- only the most enlightened of mankind possesses the depth to comprehend and draw upon the Cosmology of Mind.   

In the foregoing I make reference to the eternal soul of man -- or soul-self -- that is the accumulative total of all the lives that the soul has ever lived.   That our soul-self is our true self that is a Being of Light -- and that we dwell within the higher reality of the soul.   While the soul itself does not and cannot incarnate into the body-vessel, what does incarnate is portrayed as an embryonic image of the soul that is projected into the body-vessel at the time of conception.   Which means that the whole New Age and Eastern concept of reincarnation where the soul is said to pass through a cloud of forgetfulness as it is reborn in this world, is simply not true.   In the foregoing link,  The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man, it is demonstrated that what we call Time is a dimension of mind that can be dynamically accessed by the soul-self -- that all of the previous soul-images as represented in the past lives of the soul, still exist within what is often portrayed as the Mansion of the Soul -- and that the experiential knowledge of each lifetime that the soul has lived, can be drawn upon in the present.  

The problem is that while we, as an image of our higher soul-self, did not consciously live and experience what our soul's did in previous lifetimes, the person who develops their intuitive spheres of mind is able to access this experiential knowledge gained in past lives through the dynamic matrix of mind, and draw upon those past experiences in the present.     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as such, they can't come to terms with how the Gospel teachings states that there are two ways -- i.e., the narrow path to Life that few are able to follow, and the broad-way to self-destruction.   After all, if you are born again in another life, then how can the Gospel teachings be true?   If mediums and psychics can communicate with people who have passed over to the other side and even Atheists survive physical death, then how can the Gospel teachings be true.   The problem is that their organic limitations inhibit them from comprehending the Matrix of the Soul wherein all the images dwell in what St. Tereasa portrayed as the Manson of the Soul -- and the fact that each of the images which the soul generated into this world, only lives one life.   Which means that the confusion that exists between the religions of the east and west, is purely organic -- and the dogma of both are equally corrupted.   


 

Without understanding the Cosmology of Mind as it exists within the great Matrix of the Soul, it becomes impossible to even begin to understand the rhetoric of those who attempt to suppress the ego -- i.e., quoting the above: "our conscious ego is slight and limited in comparison to the soul, despite the fact that we habitually mistake our ego for our true self".    If you suppress the ego-self and attempt to go the way of the Monk (see Monk), then you are confined to a dungeon where you spend your time chakra-gazing -- remaining in an ignorance is bliss state of mind.   And if you engage the world without understanding the nature of the Laws and the Allusions of what you perceive, you become lost in the Far Country -- remaining a virtual stranger to your own true self that you are a counterfeit image of serving the god of this world.   Only when you evolve each appetite and aspect of self to its highest expression -- gaining an understanding of the threefold salf as existing within the Matrix of the Soul -- which means that man dwells within God by Proxy -- and come to Know Thyself -- can you even begin to prevail against the Laws and Forces that enslave the rest of mankind.   But to accomplish this, you must develop and nourish the organic mind in order to bring about the original objective of becoming the Final Temple  

 

@@@ WORKING ON THE BELOW!!!

Filling The Voids In The Development Of Mind And Spiritual Light:

Whoever finds himself is superior to the world" (see Divine Manna).   The objective of life is to Know Thyself -- but who are we?   The scriptures state that we were Created in the Image and Likeness of God -- and we are called His Offspring.   Yet, in the same way that our own offspring must evolve through all the stages of development that brings maturity, our own souls must evolve through all the levels and stages of maturity in order to become Complete and inherit our Destiny.   This process of growth is portrayed in the parable of the prodigal son -- and once understood, is seen in the analogy of Plato's Cave.   Because we are the Offspring of God, we are Commanded to be Perfect, as our Heavenly Father is Perfect (Mt. 5:48) -- but because they know not themselves, most people fear to even contemplate this Commandment.    Yet, it is a Destiny that none of us can escape -- it is organic to the very DNA of Creation -- and is in fact the very reason and purpose of Creation.  

While a countless number of believers have proclaimed it's infallible truth, few men understand the Bible with any depth -- and even fewer yet possess what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge which not only unlocks the true meaning of the scriptures, but all of life itself.   And to man's own undoing, many biblical statements are ignored.   And if we pose the question: Why don't the leaders of our Churches understand the Bible with any depth beyond the written word which Paul called the "letter that killeth"?   Because they totally lack an understanding of even themselves.   In the same way that they are unable to see past the image of the body that looks back at them in the mirror, they in like manner can't see beyond the outer garb of the written text of the scriptures which Peter called the Books with the Power to Deceive.   Where man doctrinally portrays the Genesis allegory of the Fall of Man in the negative -- this Fall was not only brought about by the Laws and was necessary -- but the realities of the development of mind and spirit that are portrayed, are necessary to bring about man's ultimate Triumph and Completion.   Thus, it is written: "For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.  For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now" (Rom 8:19-22 NKJ).   The sons of God are a plural, because all of us are equally the prodigal sons.   Notice the words: "For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it..." -- which means that it was the Laws (of God) that were brought into being prior to what is allegorically portrayed as the Fall of Man, that has brought all the futility upon the souls of men in their plight in what Jesus portrayed as the parable of the prodigal son.   So, everything from the first Creation account onward in the Torah, is a portrayal of the Laws working upon your own mind and being -- forcing your soul to evolve from the Alpha of unknowing, to your Destiny as portrayed in the life of Jesus who succeed in bringing about the fourth and final stage of birth in the Kingdom.   Notice the words: "...For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now" -- and this is true.   There is nothing but the process of birth being brought about in every soul throughout all of Creation.   And if you understand the system of numbers in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew, it conveys the fact that he had succeeded in bringing about the first three stages of birth prior to even entering that life, and the final birth is portrayed in the allegory of the Resurrection.   And to accomplish this, each of us must be born of the virgin -- and since Joseph represents the Generative Force of the Kingdom, the birth from Joseph and Mary will eventually be part of our own Destiny. 

In our true form when we are not present in the body of flesh, we are a Being Of Light -- Pure Intellectual Vital Life-Force -- and we are Divine, because our Heavenly Father is Divine.   "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, 'I said, You are gods '?" (John 10:34 NKJ).   But because we are yet immature, and know not self, we are the prodigal sons and daughters who continually become entrapped in the darkness of this world, and unknowingly reject the Divine Light of our Soul.    And we can't know either Creator-God, or our true self, until we can look out at the world and all of Creation with the vision of Higher Spiritual Reality.   Countless lifetimes we suffer and perish, because we shackle ourselves to the ignorance of this world.   Thus, many important spiritual teachings and concepts were removed from the Bible by the Church which attempted to suppress its Spiritual and Gnostic foundation (see Bible Corruption) -- and an important teaching is preserved in the Gospel of the Nazirenes which is an integral part of the encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus: "...As it is written in the book of Job, 'I am a wanderer, changing place after place and house after house, until I come into the city and mansion which is eternal'"  (see Teachings On Soul Evolution).   And thus, the prodigal sons and daughters have not only been forced into what is portrayed as the "far country" and "...subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it... For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now" -- and what we are in fact enduring throughout our struggles in life, is the process of birth that will eventually bring about our Destiny.    And that this cannot be accomplished in one lifetime, here, in what is portrayed as God's School House (see Divine Strategery), is very much in accord with the quote from the Book of Job: '"I am a wanderer, changing place after place and house after house, until I come into the city and mansion which is eternal.'"   In Jewish Mysticism, this journey of the soul is portrayed in the words of the Zohar: “All souls are subject to the trials of transmigration; and men do not know the designs of the Most High with regard to them… The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence they have emerged.  But to accomplish this end they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God” -- and there is absolutely no difference in the concepts presented in these words, and what is portrayed in the parable of the prodigal son.  

 

Natural Man Is UnTeachable

 

In the same way that what you can teach an infant is limited, and must be age appropriate, what each person is capable of understanding is directly related to the level of soul-evolution that has been accomplished in the previous lives their soul has lived.   The spiritually immature whose thinking is ruled over by the flesh and organic consciousness of the body-vessel, cannot even begin to understand the concepts of man's own higher reality of soul and spirit.   And to his own detriment, the believers of the simple faith perpetually ignore the very warnings which are clearly presented by the authors of the scriptures and epistles.   Without evolving through the Alchemical process of Spiritual Transformation, Paul warns that man in his natural organic state will look upon the Higher Mysteries of God as foolishness -- i.e., “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ).  Paul then goes on and warns these believers of a natural organic mind who were baptized and dedicated to Christ: “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS). Thus, these believers could only be taught the doctrine of Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were not yet spiritual men -- but rather, they were men of flesh and still very much “babes in Christ”.  Paul then explains that: “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS).    And it is this same "milk of the Gospel" that is of an "elementary" nature, that is intended for entry-level Christians, that is still preached in our Churches today.   

When Paul warned that he could only speak to the believers at Corinth as "...men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS), what he was warning was that “Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil” (Heb 5:13-14 NIV).   Speaking of the milk of the Gospel which is intended for the entry-level believers of the simple faith, the Church Father Origen explained that it was  “preached in the Churches... for the simpleminded and for the ears of the common crowd who are led on to live better lives by their belief”.  

What the natural carnally minded believers had trouble in comprehending -- a reality that continues to plague Jewish, Christian, Muslim, the New Age, as well as Atheists, and the people of all religious faiths today -- is the reality that the religion preached by Paul was one of Spiritual Transformation.   Paul warned those he preached to about the "letter that killeth", that their religious ideas and doctrines were merely elementary.   And Paul could no more convey to the Christians of the simple faith the deeper realities of the soul and the Inner Kingdom, than he could feed a new born infant a steak dinner.   And in the same way that the infant is physically not prepared to chew and digest solid food, neither is the organic mind of man -- or the (Christian) believers of the simple faith -- even remotely prepared to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and the Kingdom of God.  

Paul attempted to convey this higher reality to believers who were unable to comprehend the Mysteries of God, because he was a man who was not only enlightened about the Kingdom within (see Gate Of Eden), but had himself been permitted entrance into the Kingdom -- as seen in his words that every Christian who beseeches the Lord today to enlighten their understanding, is in fact asking to see and hear “…things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words…” -- and after they gaze upon these mysteries, what they have witnessed will be of such a profound nature that they will “…not [be] allowed to tell them to others” (2 Cor 12:4 TLB).  Why would Paul not be permitted to tell the Christians of the simple faith about the profound realities that he witnessed?   For the very same reason why I write above that man in his natural organic state of mind is UnTeachable!

In the Martyrdom of Ignatius (first Century Overseer of Antioch), Ignatius speaks of himself as a disciple of John. In his Epistle to the Ephesians he writes that he has been “initiated into the mysteries of the Gospel with Paul, the holy, the martyred”. In his Epistle to the Trallaus he speaks of the mysteries and writes: “Might I not write to you things more full of mystery? But I fear to do so, lest I should inflict injury on you who are babes. Pardon me in this respect, lest, as not being able to receive their weighty import, ye should be strangled by them”.  Ignatius also writes that though he is aware of the mysteries, he is not yet “by any means perfect, nor am I such a disciple as Paul or Peter”.  What preacher of the gospel today warns his congregation that if he was to reveal the true teachings of the New Covenant -- the Gospel of God -- he would “inflict injury on you who are babes” in Christ? What teaching of the Lord could a present-day preacher of the gospel reveal that the congregation of believers are not “able to receive their weighty import”? If Ignatius or the other early Church Fathers who knew the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God were with us today, what profound mystery could they speak regarding the true teachings of Jesus that believers today would be “strangled by them”

Those who believe they know the Truth, are as disenfranchised from their own higher soul and spiritual realities, as most other people.   In the words of Paul who warned that “And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:2 NKJ). For if man could simply open the scriptures and be able to discern the Truth, Jesus would not have said of his disciples: “For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it” (Matt 13:17 NIV). Why did Jesus say these words? 

The Dogmatic Folly Of Man's Religions

 

Contrary to popular cultural thinking, you not only do not have to physically die to enter the Kingdom of God -- but if you wait until you pass from this life, then you have failed in life's primary objectives.   And this is seen in the Gospel of Philip which reads: "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live,¹ they will not receive anything (when) they die" (see http://DivineManna.org ).    And while this does not mean that they will cease to exist -- or be tortured forever in some hell -- but it does mean that because of the prevailing religious and cultural ignorance, they will have accomplished very little, and squandered away their opportunity of life.

On this web site our true soul-nature is presented as the Being of Light that some people encounter in the Near Death Experience -- but there is no reason to physically die, to communicate or enter the presence of the Being of Light -- and becoming One with the Being of Light, is one of life's primary objectives.   The true disciples of Jesus and the teachings of TheWay, do not embrace doctrines of belief which they blindly hold as truth as promoted by the Churches today -- but rather, the true disciples of Jesus become a Manifestation of Truth by virtue of overcoming their own divided natures -- becoming One with first their soul-self -- and ultimately One with the Logos of God which is at the core of our being.  

To become a true disciple and follower of Jesus, you must cease to blindly believe -- move beyond faith in the unknown -- and live the necessary Life that brings Completion and Oneness with first your soul-self -- and ultimately with the Logos of God.   And this Oneness is not only within your ability if you become a true Disciple of TheWay -- but is your Ultimate Destiny as the prodigal son and daughter of our Heavenly Father.  

All Religious Paths Are Corrupted

 

 

 

While every religion will deny the facts, it is true that every religion becomes severely corrupted within 100 years of its founding.    Using Christianity as just one example, it is easily proven that every one of the primary doctrines of the Church have been compromised by carnal man's inability to comprehend his own higher soul and spiritual reality -- and that every belief that Christians embrace, is elementary at best.    that Jesus was a man, just like everyone else, and became the Messiah/Christ at his Baptism, but the scriptures were altered in order to make him a god (see The Ten Words ).   It is easily proven that all of the scriptures and early writings that Christians use today have been severely corrupted in order to make them support the doctrines of the Church (see The Orthodox Corruption Of The Scriptures).   And it is easily demonstrated that the genuine disciples of Jesus were murdered, in order to silence them (see The Death Of The Religion Of Jesus).    And while the clergy of the churches will attempt to convince you otherwise -- and even that it is sacrilegious to question church doctrine -- it is sacrilegious to embrace church doctrine and not seek the Truth.   And more important is the fact that what I have presented in these links with respect to Christianity, is true of all religions today.    Human nature attempts to define higher reality and the meaning of life in accord with man's understanding -- and this is natural to his being.   But, because man fails to see and understand the inherent flaws in his vision and ability to comprehend, all teachings of a Higher Order very quickly become corrupted when they are interpreted from the carnal and very limited perception of organic man.   

 

Know ThySelf

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who Are We?

What Are We?

From Where Did We Come?

What Is Our Ultimate Destiny?

While from the perspective of our soul/higher self who is the Being of Light in a Near Death Experience, it is one thing to know the true Being that we are, it is quite another thing to seek out and become the true Being that we are.   

 

The Objective Of Life Is Oneness

With Our Soul/Higher Self

And Ultimately Our Heavenly Father God

Many Christian authorities take the position that the Being of Light (BofL) in a Near Death Experience (NDE) is the Antichrist, or a counterfeit Messiah/Christ, because the BofL does not confirm the manmade doctrines of the 4th century Church of Constantine.  If Christians are in error, they have squandered away their opportunity of Life.

 

Failed Messiah Prophesies: In each generation that man has dwelled upon the face of the earth, there has arisen a class of pseudo-prophets who have been able to effectively employ this almost universal innate belief in the end of the world -- speak to the imagination of the people so as to stir their emotions to adhere to blind acceptance of counterfeit manmade doctrines -- and convey this false vision of imminent doom to the collective belief of the masses of people in a manner that serves the false prophet’s own personal monetary and political goals. As just one example: Pope Gregory I, who was supposed to be infallible, convinced the landowners throughout Europe that the end of times was so close, that if they did not at once hand over all their land to the church, they would be forever cast into the fires of hell when the great day arrived. The result was that the Papacy became the richest landowner in Europe.

In the time of Jesus the Sadducees and Pharisees predicted the coming of the Messiah -- and when Jesus did not commence to inaugurate the expected Kingdom, they condemned him as a false Messiah. Why? Because being carnal and of this world, they falsely believed the Messiah would come and kill all the opponents of the Jews -- and then rule the world with them as the chosen people. And with respect to this false vision of the Messiah, Jesus' words are just as true today as when he spoke them to his disciples when he physically walked the earth: "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did? But He turned and rebuked them, and said, You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them" (Luke 9:54-56 NKJ). Thus, both the Jews and the Christians who look for a Messiah to come upon the earth and destroy the wicked, are merely a people who "...do not know what manner of spirit you are of." 

Perhaps just as phenomenal is the fact that in continually ignoring the lessons of the past, the masses of people have subsequently fallen into the same trap in each and every succeeding age since the dawn of time itself. Generation upon generation of dooms-day prophets have successfully been able to induce the people to ignore the fact that each and every prediction that has been continually made by each and every subsequent generation of dooms-day prophets, has failed to come to pass.

 

There is web page you can consult on why the Messiah will never come in the manner that the Jews and Christians predict at
http://messianic.nazirene.org/messiah.htm . Basically, while only Jews who study Mysticism understand the Messiah, Christians and most Jews are basically lost in their doctrines. The Messiah is not a person -- it is a Power that Illumines the mind and reveals all things. And there are degrees of this Power of Enlightenment that is received by seekers. The word Messiah/Christ means the Anointed -- i.e., the Anointing of the Mind. 

In addition to the above web page, two important verses can be used to understand these Messianic prophesies, which are out of what is known as the Original Matthew which is known as the Gospel of the Hebrews/Ebionites -- fragments can be found at this link
http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/gospelhebrews-mrjames.html . The first demonstrates degrees of Anointing in the following words: "If thy brother (saith he) have sinned by a word and made thee amends, seven times in a day receive thou him. Simon his disciple said unto him: Seven times in a day? The Lord answered and said unto him: Yea, I say unto thee, unto seventy times seven times. For in the prophets also, after they were anointed by the Holy Spirit, the word of sin was found." So, while those who would be considered true prophets were in fact Anointed (Messiah/Christ), they were not yet perfect and had yet to Completely fulfill the Law within themselves. Whereas, the historical Yeshua had attained this Perfected state where those before him had failed, as seen in the baptism sequence where it states: "And it came to pass when the Lord was come up out of the water, the whole fount of the Holy Spirit descended and rested upon him, and said unto him: My son, in all the prophets was I waiting for thee that thou shouldst come, and I might rest in thee. For thou art my rest, and thou art my first begotten son, that reignest for ever."

While all the previous prophets and holy men had received the Anointing to the degree they were able, only Yeshua totally fulfilled the Law within himself -- as seen in the quotations on the Ebionite web page (see http://Ebionite.com ) where it reads that they believed Yeshua "was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ." Hence we "...thus fulfill the law, [we] are able to become Christs" (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). Which is the objective of the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay -- to guide all the prodigal sons/daughters of the Most High back in their journey in TheWay as they return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination which they originally emanated from in the beginning. And while most Christians ignore the implications of the parable of the prodigal son -- i.e., that each of us was originally with the Father in the Kingdom prior to journeying into this, the "far country" -- Jewish Mysticism presents a clear understanding in the journey of the soul. In The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, under the heading of Souls, Transmigration of: “The doctrine of transmigration of souls, which was especially accepted by the Karaites… is generally attacked by Jewish philosophers, but is defended by Isaac Abravanel and Manasseh ben Israel. It appears often in Cabala; it is found in organized form in the Zohar, it is further developed in the teachings of Isaac Luria (1534-1572), and in Hasidism it becomes a universal belief. According to these teachings, all human souls have a common origin in the spiritual unity of the primordial man, sparks of which form the individual souls... The sin of Adam brought higher and lower souls into confusion; as a result, every soul has to pass through a series of incarnations... The soul itself has no sex, which is determined by the body and may vary from incarnation to incarnation”. 


In the Zohar, a doctrine of Jewish Mysticism, it is written that: “All souls are subject to the trials of transmigration; and men do not know the designs of the Most High with regard to them… The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence they have emerged. But to accomplish this end they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God”. This reunion with God is the rebirth that was spoken of by Jesus to the Pharisee Nicodemus, “a ruler of the Jews”. 

The problem that even fewer people understand is the fact that there is four stages of birth that must be accomplished in order for the prodigal son to do as Yeshua accomplished, and achieve reunion with God in the Kingdom. The first is the physical birth which all of us here have accomplished by virtue of our entrance into this world. There is a web page which provides many biblical quotations with respect to the next stages of the threefold birth at
http://mystic.nazirene.org/fetus.htm . The next stage of birth is to achieve Completion in the physical by perfecting the Laws we were born under in order to achieve the next level of soul-birth. When we accomplish this, we overcome our divided natures, and we are able to manifest our true soul-self in the physical body. Our true self is the Being of Light that people encounter in the Near Death Experience
(see http://BeingOfLight.com ). And as described in the article on The Journey Into The Light
(see http://beingoflight.brotherofyeshua.com/journey.htm ), those very few who have achieved this level of birth or have entered what I call the Realm of Souls will observe that the souls of each person is greatly varying in size and often shape -- as well as the intensity of the Light they are able to manifest. True spiritual growth cannot even realistically be brought about, so long as division exists between us and our soul-self which has existed since the dawn of time. In view of the fact that I have already written extensively on the relationship between us and our soul-self as understood from the perspective of the teachings at Gospel of Thomas 84, I will provide you the link where you can research this at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/459 . 

In each birth we are only required to overcome the Laws we were born under. Some important teachings are preserved in the Pistis Sophia in the words: “But if he shall have sinned once, twice, or thrice, they shall reject that soul, sending it back again into the world according to the form of the sins that it may have committed; the form whereof I will declare unto you hereafter. But verily, verily I say unto you, that even the righteous man that hath committed no sin at all cannot be brought into the Kingdom of Light, forasmuch the seal of the mysteries of that kingdom is not found upon him. Once for all, I say unto you, a soul cannot be brought into the kingdom, if it be without the mysteries of the Kingdom of the Light” Living a good life is not enough -- we must walk in TheWay and bring about the next stages of birth. And this is further presented in the 69th chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes in the word
http://messianic.nazirene.org/gospel_seven.htm#chapter69 


1.As Yeshua sat by the west of the temple with his disciples, behold there passed some carrying one that was dead, to burial, and a certain one said to Him, "Master, if a man die, shall he live again?" 

2.He answered and said, "I am the resurrection and the life, I am the good, the beautiful, the true; if a man believe in me he shall not die, but live eternally. As in Adam all are bound to cycles of rebirth, so in the Messiah shall all be made alive. Blessed are the dead who die in me, and are made perfect in my image and likeness, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. They have overcome evil, and are made pillars in the temple of my God, and they go out no more, for they rest in the eternal." 

3."For them that persist in evil there is no rest, but they go out and in, and suffer correction for ages, till they are made perfect. But for them that have done good and attained to perfection, there is endless rest and they go into life everlasting. They rest in the eternal." 

4."Over them the repeated death and birth have no power, for them the wheel of the eternal revolves no more, for they have attained to the center, where is eternal rest, and the center of all things is God."

The people of spiritual vision knew that a Great Soul was going to be born into the world at the time of Yeshua, because they could interpret the Laws as revealed esoteric astrology. The Elders in the Ebionites were born as teachers, because they knew the level of each soul by virtue of the Laws they were born under. And the size, brightness and intensity of the Light of each person's soul-self who is the Being of Light (see http://BeingOfLight.com ) in the NDE, is predicated on the union/marriage between the physical and spiritual natures. All the ancient teachings on Duality and the Trinity have to do with the duality that encompasses every aspect of our being on every level. In the parable of the prodigal son, the two sons represent our physical nature which is our own essence of being, and our indwelling spiritual nature which is represented in the elder son who remains with the Father in the Kingdom while we venture into the "far country". All truth and reality is always found in the Third Force of balance between the duality of opposites and much of this is presented in the article on The Divine Marriage
(see http://nazirene.org/spiritual_meaning_of_marriage.htm ). And this is essence of the all-pervading doctrine of the Trinity and the threefold reality of every aspect of Creation. As an example: There are levels of marriage between a man and woman -- and you can't see the essence of a Marriage with your physical eyes and senses. The mind of man is in his etheric field that surrounds the physical body -- as demonstrated in Science Proves Religion
(see http://messianic.nazirene.org/science_proves.htm ). And it is both the degree of oneness -- as well as the level of mind/spirit evolution of the union -- that makes the man and woman "one flesh". So what we call marriage is for the most part elementary level marriage -- and what is presented as a Divine Union is a marriage that has evolved to the degree where the two minds work in absolute harmony and this is what makes the two ONE. And since we dwell in a holographic reality where the Divine Pattern of Creator God is replicated at every level of Creation, this threefold nature is manifest at every level of our being. So when the ancients speak of Dualism -- i.e., as in the Yin and Yang -- what they are really making reference to is the threefold self -- and this threefold reality permeates every aspect of Creation. And this is why it is said that the Logos (Mind of God) which is the Balance between Mother-Father God, brought forth all of Creation. But more importantly from our immediate perspective, is the reality that the two sons in the parable of the prodigal son represents our indwelling spiritual nature -- we are the physical nature -- and our soul/higher self is the reality of this union as we perceive our true form and nature in the Being of Light. 

RELIGIOUS FAILURE: Within the body there are three spiritual centers in the head (heavenly), and the three spiritual centers in the lower body which represents our lower nature, and the balance in the fourth center. The Star of David demonstrates the six heavenly and earthly spiritual centers brought into Oneness -- with the seventh spiritual center represented in the perfect balance between the three heavenly and three earthly. When we add in the inner intersections, we get the twelve spheres of (mind) of the Tree of Life. A soul such as the historical Yeshua was born under the Laws that would permit this evolved level of consciousness to manifest on all three levels (physical, soul and spirit) of his being, and this is represented in the allegorical sequences of 14, 14, 14 in the genealogy presented in Matthew. The vast majority of people are still working on the first fourteen as presented in bringing the physical into oneness and permitting the next level of soul-birth. To achieve this, we only have to overcome the Laws we were born under. The observation of Gurdjieff that the vast majority of religious paths all are doomed to failure is correct, because the people fail to comprehend the reality of the threefold self and the necessity to embrace and overcome each level in sequential order as in climbing the rungs of Jacob's Ladder. Most religious philosophies deal with us and God -- and yet, there are three kingdoms within and below that of man (mineral, vegetable and animal) -- all of which must be harmonized with the three heavenly kingdom above us -- even before we can begin to bring about the final birth as presented in the allegory of the crucifixion which brings Oneness with God as achieved by Yeshua. In the Library this is many posts on the futility of attempting to lose one's ego as the Eastern and New Age religions teach
(see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/422 ) -- and this reality is presented in the quotation of Gurdjieff in the book, In Search Of The Miraculous, by P.D. Ouspensky: "The third way is the way of the yogi. This is the way of knowledge, the way of mind. The way of the yogi consists in working on the third room and in striving to enter the fourth room by means of knowledge. The yogi reaches the fourth room by developing his mind, but his body and emotions remain undeveloped and, like the fakir and the monk, he is unable to make use of the results of his attainment. He knows everything but can do nothing. In order to begin to do he must gain the mastery over his body and emotions, that is, over the first and second rooms. To do this he must again set to work and again obtain results by means of prolonged efforts." 

HEAD SEX: What the people of the New Age refer to as Christ Consciousness, is in reality head sex. In the same way that when the energy in the genitals is released there is a physical orgasm, when the opposite energy in the head is released, we experience head sex which the New Age calls Christ Consciousness. But without the balance of the earthly and heavenly as presented in the words of Gurdjieff above, we cannot bring about the necessary harmony in the physical that permits the next level of soul-birth that Yeshua spoke of -- and is the primary objective of the scriptures. By attempting to become a divine nothing, the religious adepts do embrace the euphoric reality of head orgasm, but because they lack Oneness between the earthly and heavenly as Gurdjieff notes above, they continue to remain incomplete and fail to manifest their soul-self which is the Being of Light in the NDE (see http://BeingOfLight.com ). 
LAWS BORN UNDER: Because of the disharmony of the lower nature as represented in the earthly triad of the Star of David, only a very small embryonic image of our true self can manifest in the physical body. As the younger son in the parable of the prodigal son, we are the lower consciousness of the heavenly triad -- but because we cannot manifest in the body in fullness, our consciousness of self is spread out across that dimension of mind that we call Time. And this is presented in detail at the above link to the post on the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/459 . But if we succeed in overcoming the Laws we were born under, we can then overcome our divided natures and manifest our true soul-self in the body -- the soul-self is the Being of Light in the NDE
(see http://BeingOfLight.com ). When we achieve this level of birth -- and overcome our divided natures -- we are then able to work on bringing about the next level of spiritual birth which is Oneness between what is portrayed in the parable of the prodigal son as the two sons -- i.e., physical and spiritual. And as we overcome the division between these two polarities, we grow and evolve the Third Force which is the soul-self -- which in essence means that we grow and evolve our Light. The souls of most people are little flickering lights -- as presented in the above teachings of the Zohar in the words: "...human souls have a common origin in the spiritual unity of the primordial man, sparks of which form the individual souls..." -- and as we spiritually evolve, we actually grow that Light of the Soul -- and in spirit, these evolved souls are seen as Great Lights of depth and intensity. Where the souls of most people are as a flickering candle, the evolved souls are as Great Suns that permeate all with their Spiritual Wholeness. But we can do very little growth without first overcoming the division of our physical self and our soul-self -- and actually manifesting the Being of Light in the body-vessel. The reality of this is much more represented in the words Know Thyself, than the attempt by the Easterners and New Age to suppress the lower nature and attempt to lose the ego. Because they are attempting to become one with God, while they still exist in a divided-self reality, their progress as noted by Gurdjieff above is very slow. In contradistinction, the fulfillment of the Essene/Ebionite teachings of TheWay as presented to us in the life of Yeshua, supercharges our efforts because instead of attempting to suppress aspects of self, we instead spiritualize and evolve the self as a Whole -- permitting the next stage of soul-birth to be brought about. In the geneology of Yeshua we see the sequence of 14, 14 and 14, which designates David (4) in the Kingdom (10), which represents the perfection of the three natures (physical, soul and spiritual) -- with the physical and spiritual represented in the portrayal of the two sons or the duality of self -- and the perfection and evolution of the soul-self which expands the Light and evolves/perfects the self to the degree where we can be born in like manner that the historical Yeshua was born. This perfection of the Laws within us, permits us to embrace the final birth in the Kingdom and Absolute Oneness with God. 

As explained at the above link to why the Messiah can never come in the manner that Jews and Christians predict
(see http://messianic.nazirene.org/messiah.htm ), only when a person fulfills the role of the suffering Messiah outwardly, and in the inner and outer paradox the prophesies of the reigning Messiah become fulfilled inwardly as the Torah and Scriptures are used as the Key of Knowledge that is turned within 
(see http://brotherofyeshua.com/covenant.htm ) in order to open the "narrow gate" to the Kingdom within
(see http://GateOfEden.com ), we will continue to wander in this, the "far country... outer darkness" until we pick up our own cross and travail in TheWay in imitation of Messiah/Christ. 

There is much to read and study in the above -- and I agree with Paul that it is a sin to argue over the "letter that killeth.... Jewish fables"
(see http://messianic.nazirene.org/no_sects.htm ) -- because the scriptures are an allegory that men of a natural mindset cannot comprehend in the slightest degree
(see http://beingoflight.brotherofyeshua.com/defeat.htm ). The teachings of Yeshua and TheWay are purely spiritual
(see http://SpiritualManna.org ), and each of us must fulfill the prophesies of the suffering Messiah outwardly as Yeshua did, as well as the prophesies of the reigning Messiah inwardly in the Kingdom of Light. We begin the journey not by embracing religious rhetoric or the suppression of self -- but rather, through the spiritual growth and development of self that permits the manifestation of our soul-self and the fulfillment of the requirement to Know Thyself.

Main WebSites

The below web sites are written in the name of Allan Cronshaw, which is my birth name in this present life.   The manner in which these other web sites are composed is very different than on this one -- wherein, on these other web sites there is an attempt to document and demonstrate every proof and concept of TheWay using a multitude of resources and biblical verses -- while on this web site there is no other authority than Jacob writing to you as the Brother Of Yeshua who was the leader of the Hebrew/Christian movement of TheWay.   In the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."   So to once again restore the teachings of TheWay which is today known as Christianity, the Lord has sent Jacob/James, the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, back into the world in order to guide the faithful flock into the Truth, the Light, and the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21).   It is there that my brother Yeshua/Jesus awaits you.

The above warning with respect to the predicted corruption of Yeshua's teachings is further stated in the first century writings known today as the Clementine Recognitions where it is written: "Our Lord and Prophet, who hath sent us, declared to us that the wicked one, having disputed with Him forty days, and having prevailed nothing against Him, promised that he would send apostles from amongst his subjects, to deceive.  Wherefore, above all, remember to shun apostle or teacher or prophet who does not first accurately compare his preaching with that of James, who was called the brother of my Lord, and to whom was entrusted to administer the church of the Hebrews in Jerusalem, — and that even though he come to you with witnesses: lest the wickedness which disputed forty days with the Lord, and prevailed nothing, should afterwards, like lightning falling from heaven upon the earth, send a preacher to your injury, as now he has sent Simon upon us, preaching, under pretense of the truth, in the name of the Lord, and sowing error. Wherefore He who hath sent us, said, ‘Many shall come to me in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them.’" 

Again it is warned by Clement: "Wherefore observe the greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he bring from Jerusalem the testimonial of James the Lord’s brother, or of whosoever may come after him. For no one, unless he has gone up thither, and there has been approved as a fit and faithful teacher for preaching the word of Christ, — unless, I say, he brings a testimonial thence, is by any means to be received. But let neither prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time, besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words we twelve apostles preach"

As predicted, the ministers of Satan have succeeded in altering the teachings of my brother Yeshua, and continue to lead many into the abyss of darkness.   But have no fear my brothers and sisters, for the teachings of TheWay has been restored so that you might be able to overcome the darkness, and enter the Kingdom of Light within you (Luke 17:20-21).

The Brother Of Yeshua/Jesus: 2000 years ago I lived as Jacob who many all James, and I was known as the Brother of Yeshua and the first leader of the New Covenant movement of TheWay which is today known as Christianity.  I was sent back into the world to restore the teachings of my brother Yeshua to their original spiritual essence, and to guide you in TheWay that is "narrow" so you will be able to open the "strait gate" within you and enter the Kingdom that Yeshua declared must be attained through the second birth.

The Ebionite HomePage: If you call yourself a Christian, Jew, Messianic believer, Evyonim, Nazarene or Muslim, then it is imperative that you learn of the Ebionites who are True Spiritual Israel -- They are the Poor Ones to the ways and thinking of this world -- The Ebionites were the Israelites of the Nazirene Vow They are/were the Genuine Disciples of Yeshua/Jesus who are in the world and not of it! 

The Gate Of Eden: Why were the Disciples and followers of Yeshua vegetarian? Why did they live in accordance with the precepts of the Torah/Law? Why did they live separate and apart from both Jews and Christians? The answer is very simple: The Gate of Eden is within us, and if we fail to enter therein while we are still physically alive in the body, we will have failed in our opportunity to enter into Life. And while it can be countered that we are saved by our belief in Messiah/Christ, faith, or the blood of the lamb, the truth is that if we were truly faithful disciples of TheWay, that we would experience the opening of the inner door and the Kingdom coming within us. The GateOfEden article explores all aspects of the need to pick up one's own cross and follow the narrow path that leads to the inner gate to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.

The Nazirene HomePage: The original spiritual teachings of Yeshua/Jesus as practiced by the people of The Way who where known historically as the Essenes, Ebionites, and Nazirenes. The teachings of The Way are Spiritual -- and provide a means to open the "strait gate" into the Kingdom while still physically alive in the body/vessel.

The Light Of Yeshua -- The Messianic Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: While many teach that believers are saved by faith, the journey of the disciple of Yeshua is one of absolute dedication to The Way. The disciple who becomes a brother to Yeshua must live as he lived, and become a Nazirene who is consecrated and wholly set apart as they walk the Narrow Way, enter into the Kingdom through the Strait Gate, and learn directly from the L-rd -- the One Rabbi and Teacher of the Mysteries of G-d.

TheWay of the Nazirene Rings HomePage: This is the Ring Home page of TheWay of the Nazirene. It will provide you with a listing of all the Nazirene Rings, and a brief description of the importance of walking in The Way and entering the Kingdom of God before physical death occurs. Come visit and learn the essence of the teachings of Jesus/Yeshua that were lost by the institutionalized church.

The Long Island Mystic and Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: The Organizational HomePage of The Nazirene -- the Long Island Mystic, Evangelical Minister, and Prophet of TheWay -- who God bestowed upon him the gift of the recall of his previous life as a Disciple and Brother of Messiah/Christ -- and thus has re-entered this world at the present time in order to restore the Spiritual Essence and Teachings of his Master, Yeshua/Jesus. The Kingdom is within! And we must sojourn the narrow path of TheWay, enter the "strait gate" to the Inner Spiritual Temple, while still alive in the physical body.  Thus, modern Christians have misunderstood the words of Yeshua -- he never said that we must physically die to enter the Edenic Kingdom of Origination -- but rather, we must die to the culture, mindset and ways of this world in order to enter the Kingdom! 

 

 

Col 2:8
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 rather than on Christ.
NIV

 

Col 3:5-8
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these:
