Easter or Passover?

The Choice of Death of Life

Ebionite Restoration  - Christian Renewal

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death"
(Prov 14:12 NKJ)

When Yeshua was asked about eternal life, his initial reply was to keep the Commandments of the Law (Mt. 19:17).  With respect to those who do not keep the teachings of Yeshua he asked: "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV).   And with respect to the multitudes who hear, but do not fulfill the required teachings and commandments to walk in TheWay, Yeshua warned that: "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock" (Matt 7:22-24 KJV).

For good reason Yeshua said to keep the Law in the manner that he taught -- to observe the Sabbath and make it spiritual -- and to celebrate the Passover in the manner that he taught those who would call themselves his disciples and followers.  He said this not to be too Jewish or narrow minded -- but rather, to promote spiritual development and bring about the process of soul-birth within the body-mind of the disciple of TheWay.   The rejection of Passover is evidence that the majority of Christians embrace their doctrines of belief, and reject the wisdom of the scriptures.   While it is true that the majority of people may not understand with any depth was is written, nothing in the scriptures are arbitrary -- or are presented without a reason -- sometimes an important reason.   And it is important to recognize that while Yeshua rejected the animal sacrifice and ritual observance of the Pharisees who were carnal in their perception of the scriptures, Yeshua presented the Passover as a Holy Observance of primary importance.  

Yeshua taught to keep the Passover, because there is an important spiritual reason that would greatly benefit those who seek to Know Messiah/Christ.   But the harsh reality of the matter is, that you cannot present Truth and Wisdom to the vast majority of Christians, unless it conforms to their very limited entry-level understanding.   If I state that there is a cosmic reason why the Bible uses a Lunar calendar -- and there is a really important reason why the Passover was celebrated at a specific time because of the necessary cosmic interval that promotes a certain condition of body, mind and spirit, I will be immediately condemned by those who reject the biblical Passover.   They will counter that neither the Bible or Yeshua promoted cosmic wisdom.   But if I state that Easter is a pagan festival which is founded upon heathen cosmic wisdom -- and the day was ordained by the fourth century Church because it celebrates the resurrection of the sun in the form of the sun-god that was worshipped by Pagan Rome -- and is itself calculated by the cosmic movements of the heavenly bodies -- this is justified because it has become part of the Christian tradition -- regardless of the fact that it was ordained by the Roman Church and the Emperor Constantine who was himself a sun-worshipper.   So from a doctrinal perspective, it's OK to calculate Easter based upon the Pagan celebration of the resurrected sun-god and named after the goddess of spring -- i.e., Easter -- but it is not OK to convey that Biblical Wisdom understood in the cycles of the moon and its effect upon the body-vessel as being relevant to the modern believer.  

The Philosophy and Rhetoric of Born Again: While many Evangelical Christians who have embraced the manmade philosophy of Pagan Rome, have doctrinalized the processes of soul and spiritual birth by promoting the idea that if they say a prayer to Jesus, that they are born again -- when Yeshua asked Nicodemus who was a teacher among the Jews about the need to achieve this next stage of soul-birth, we can see by the manner in which he posed the question that he expected Nicodemus who was a teacher, to understand this important concept.    Why?   Because the process of second birth was understood by all the ancient prophets and visionaries, and is the primary objective of the inner meaning of the scriptures.   But because the Church of Constantine threw away the all-important Key of Knowledge (see Key of Knowledge ), the leaders of the modern Christian Church no longer understand the true depth and reality of the very scriptures that they profess to promote and champion.   It is important to recognize that when Nicodemus questioned this wisdom, Yeshua said: "Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" (John 3:10-12 KJV).   You cannot be a master of Israel, and not know of the necessity of bringing about the next stage of soul-birth -- and Yeshua presented this fact to Nicodemus.   And neither can you marginalize this important transformational process of the necessary reality of bringing about the next phase of birth, in the manner that modern Evangelical Christians led by Billy Graham have done.    And one of the most relevant points that is ignored in the above is the statement: "...Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"   Take notice of the words "We speak... we have seen... ye receive not our witness"?   Thus, Yeshua is not speaking in the singular -- but in the plural -- and he speaks of the reality that not only both him and his disciples witnessed -- but is witnessed by all who are truly faithful to the teachings of TheWay and seek the Kingdom within (see Gate Of Eden).    And while Yeshua taught the multitudes in parables because they were too carnal to perceive and comprehend the Mysteries of God, he taught his disciples all things -- i.e., "And the disciples came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables?  He answered and said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.  For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.  Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.  And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive;  For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them'" (Matt 13:10-15 NKJ).

In the above are a number of profound concepts about the teachings of Yeshua that few modern Christians are willing to acknowledge.   The disciples were able to see, hear and understand what others could not -- and this blindness on the part of the multitudes was brought about by the fulfillment of the Law which was prophesized by Isaiah.   And unless the people turned to Messiah/Christ and not only observed the Law in the manner that he taught, but also kept his commandments and teachings by doing them, that they remained in a carnal condition where they could not see, hear, nor understand the Mysteries of God that could only be revealed to his faithful disciples.  

The Passover is a sequence of spiritual birth that is brought about in the life of the seeker, and his/her endeavors are supercharged by the phase of the moon in conjunction with the sun.   Because the traditional Easter celebration is out of moon phase, it is like trying to get pregnant when your not ovulating.   The authors of the Bible knew the Mysteries of God, and they implanted this sacred gnosis within the text of the scriptures.   Where Passover is a time of spiritual transformation and rebirth, Easter was a Wiccan type day where the people copulated in the fields in order to encourage the elemental nature gods to bring for a bountiful harvest.   There was a reason why Yeshua celebrated and ordained the Passover, and considered Easter a celebration for the people of the Nations who worshiped the sun as god, and Yeshua warned his followers not to in any manner emulate their Pagan rituals and practices.    That Christians now commemorate the day to Jesus, do not in any manner alter the cosmic phases that the Bible states is of primary importance, and Yeshua ordained for all his followers and disciples to observe.

The Christian Scorpion: In the Lamsa biblical text known as the Peshitta, he shows where the translators didn't understand the ancient meaning of the term scorpion which they replace with viper in the condemnation of the Pharisees by Yeshua.   And in calling them scorpions, what Yeshua was calling them was fatherless orphans who have been abandoned in this world -- but in the ancient lore, it is far worse than this.   Lamsa explains that in accord with the lore at the time, it was said that the father scorpion is killed at conception, and the offspring eat their way out of the mother at birth -- thereby entering the world as orphans whose existence in this world was at the expense of the death of their mother and father.    It is also said that a scorpion is the only other being in nature that has the power to take its own life in the manner of man.   And when I was young and in the military I observed this when they poured gas in a circle around a scorpion -- and after lighting the gas, the scorpion would sting itself in the head rather than burn. 

Yeshua taught that we must bring about the second phase of birth to enter the Kingdom which he declared would never come upon the earth in the manner that carnal Jews and Christians predict -- because it is within us (see Gate of Eden).   And that this process of soul-birth requires much development, testing through tribulations, is confirmed in the witness of the Disciples who stated that "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22 NKJ).    And in the same way that women are imbued with cycles of ovulation that are an integral part of the birth process, so too is this same reality true on a cosmic scale.   And since we are speaking of the teachings of Yeshua that conveyed the reality that we must be born again of soul and spirit to enter the Kingdom -- and we understand that all of life in this physical realm is an allegorical pattern of higher soul and spiritual reality -- then we must understand how the process of conception and birth functions, in the higher order of man's spiritual reality.   Quoting a woman's ovulation calendar web site she writes: "You are most fertile when you are ovulating, so knowing your time of ovulation will help you determine the best days to conceive."    These ovulation cycles are not random -- but very much regulated by the Laws which control every aspect of life.   And once this fact is understood, the interlude of the Passover is a Cosmic interval where spiritual ovulation is enhanced and soul-birth can be brought about.   And in knowing the true inner meaning of the scriptures, Yeshua instructed his disciples to observe and spiritualize the Passover to keep it holy and sanctified.  

Historically, the time of the Easter observance was eventually determined by the Roman Emperors.   These were ignorant politicians whose primary interests was to use the power of religion to rule over the people, and to homogenize the culture under their dominion and control.  In the fourth century Christianity was adopted by the Roman Imperial Government as the official religion of the empire.   Why?   Certainly not because the Roman Emperors and politicians wanted to become Christ-like!   “When artificial religions have thus failed to provide the imperial regime with the effective religious sanction that it needs”, writes Arnold Toynbee in his An Historians Approach to Religion, “there is only one alternative left to an Imperial Government.  It must place itself under the aegis of some living religion that has arisen spontaneously and cannot be discounted by the Imperial Government’s subjects as being a cult manufactured by the imperial authorities.   In the Roman Empire both these necessary conditions were filled conspicuously by Christianity...”   The worship of the Emperor as god was failing to provide rulership over the people, and in adopting what was ancient, the religion of Constantine could be put forth before the people of the empire as being authentic.   The problem was that, like the Jews who are Atheists, the religion of Constantine was little more than the very Pagan religion of Mithraism that was re-established under a new name -- and Yeshua the Nazirene was transformed into Jesus the son of the sun-god deity. The people of the Empire, as well as Constantine himself, were sun worshipers.   Which means that the religion of Yeshua had to be converted to their way of thinking, in order to make it accommodate the political needs of the emperor in his rule over the people.   This necessitated the homogenization of doctrine, dogma and thought in order to support the needs of the emperor and his church which was the religious branch of the government -- and this homogenization brought about the holocaust of both the Ebionites and Spiritual (Gnostic) Christians who refused to accept the religion of the emperor (see The Death Of The Religion Of Jesus).

What few Christians realize today is the fact that the doctrines of the church were politically imposed upon believers by a series of Roman Emperors.   The Emperor determined what beliefs were valid -- what beliefs were heresy - and those Christians who did not agree with the religious tenets of the Emperor, were either silenced or murdered.   Modern Christians are under the delusion that they believe in the pure Gospel, because they believe they affirm their beliefs in the Bible.   And yet, the Christian world is in absolute denial with respect to the fact that the Bible was edited and corrupted, in order to make it support the doctrines of the fourth century Pagan Church (see Bible Corruption).    And since the Emperor Constantine was a sun-worshipper, and he believed that Jesus was the latest incarnation of the sun-god -- the celebration of Easter became a political matter, and the appointed time of observance and celebration was enacted in order to appease the sun-god.  

The knowledge of the cycles of transformation and birth was far beyond the understanding and political agenda of the emperors who dictated the doctrines of the church which is today called Christian.   Similar to sacrificing an animal or even one's children to the nature gods for appeasement, worship was understood from the perspective of gaining the favor of the deity.   So, taking into account that when the sun rises over the equator, this is the risen Christ of Mithraism (see The Pagan Origin Of Christmas And Easter).    And the fact that Ishtar/Easter the moon goddess of spring had to be full, Easter had to be celebrated on the following day of the sun (Sunday) in order to accommodate the deity sun-god.   So the focus of the celebration was not inward, spiritual and transformative -- but rather, outward and ritual in the same exact manner that the Pharisees interpreted the Torah with their outward rituals and sacrifices that Yeshua condemned.   Because the appointed day is one of commemorative appeasement to an external deity, the ritual observance of the sun-god that which Christians presently celebrate, has been taken out of cosmic harmonic sequence for the mere adoration and worship of the sun as a deity, the appointed day is totally useless from a spiritual perspective.  

It is a similar mindset as the sacrifice of animals to an external deity in the manner of the carnal Jews, or worship of the sun as a deity in the manner of the Romans -- but if your objective is inner transformative and spiritual, then the Easter celebration is not only worthless, but a denial of higher soul and spiritual reality.   In the same way that the spiritual person understands how the phases and interactions of the male and female powers of this world can supercharge his inner objectives -- as in the prayer and meditation at dawn when the third force can more easily be invoked in the balance of the two phases of day and night -- the Passover was set in order to assist the true seeker in achieving a higher state of consciousness with the possibility of achieving the next stage of soul-birth.    It is called using the physical to support the integration and development of soul and spirit in the body-vessel and achieve Oneness through the power of the Third Force.   Thus, like the feminine cycles when impregnation can be achieved, the male (solar) MUST accommodate the feminine (lunar) in order to bring about this Cosmic Balance within the body-mind of the seeker.   And when a large group of seekers are all in accord, as when all Jews celebrate the Passover at the prescribed instance of Cosmic Balance, the physical actually supercharges the soul and spiritual.  

When the sun crosses over the equator, and the moon is full and reflects its Power, it can be likened to a Cosmic Sustained Elevated Energy Flow that the body of praying and Spiritual people can move upon and within in their endeavor to manifest the Kingdom in their body-vessel and their lives.    And a person of Wisdom becomes highly cognizant of these cycles that are presented both in the Bible and throughout life itself.   Thus, the Passover was instituted first in the scriptures, and they by Yeshua, because it is a time when the solar-male energy has returned to fullness as it crosses over the equator, and the lunar-feminine energy is full in a cycle of cosmic ovulation.   And since the lunar cycles affect the waters of the earth -- and our physical bodies are 90% water -- and women's own ovulation cycles are influenced by the moon -- these cycles can greatly enhance our efforts to bring about what Yeshua portrayed as second soul-birth.

In the same way that a man and woman can have sex all month, and only that period of feminine ovulation matters with respect to conceiving the third-force offspring, the same is true with respect to the Cosmic Balance and the time of the Passover.   Because the Roman Emperors worshiped the actual sun as their deity -- and they being carnal, were ignorant of the Cosmic Cycles and Periods of Balance -- their objective was to appease the sun-deity by holding the celebration on the day of the sun (Sunday).    But as any couple who is trying to conceive knows when they use such aids as a thermometer to track the time of ovulation, the only sexual interaction that counts, is what takes place with the feminine cycle is full and the egg (which only lives for 24 hours) is ripened (split) and is released into the womb where it can be fertilized by the male sperm.   Thus, because the emperors appointed the time of Easter to appease the sun-god on the proper day of observance (Sunday), and was therefore appointed out of the feminine cycle of the Passover Full Moon, the Easter celebration is cosmically useless.

What the Roman Emperors have done in their out of ovulation-cycle which is nothing more than a ritualized appeasement to the sun-god of Constantine, is brought about similar parallel conditions in the woman's ovulation calendar that inhibits these sacred interludes that when properly observed and celebrated, initiates conception and birth.   Quoting the woman's ovulation calendar web site:  "The natural way to avoid unwanted pregnancy is to abstain from unprotected intercourse during your fertile days. The most fertile time is the day of ovulation."    What this means when understood from the perspective of the Mysteries of God that was not taught to the multitudes, is that because the present Easter celebration is out of the cosmic ovulation cycle that is manifest in the biblical Passover, the Christians are attempting to bring about the necessary second birth out of phase to the biblical interval which is necessary to initiate inner conception and soul-birth.   So Christians the result is that in rejecting the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay, and embracing the Paganism of the Roman Emperors, Christians are condemned by the the spiritually infertile prophets of death who have castrated themselves upon the altar of pagan-political ignorance and a rejection of the wisdom that Yeshua taught and ordained.   

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the inheritance that is squandered away is the vital life-force that each of us receives from God.   People use bio-energy and vital life-force for an uncountable number of reasons that are portrayed in the scriptures as a misuse of this life-giving energy.   The people of the earth religions are conscious of the cycles, and use the energy to bring about their goals.   Materialistic men use their life-force to make money.   Spiritual men use their life-force to invoke higher consciousness within them.   The life-force begins with God, moves out into us, and is either channeled into nature because of carnally minded people, or is channeled within by spiritual men and woman.   Those who permit their vital life-force to be lost into nature, are the prodigal sons who squander away their inheritance of what the Bible describes as riotous and wanton ways of living.   Those who channel this vital life-force in order to bring the twelve spheres of mind into developed and harmonic balance which enables them to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life, are called Spiritual Israel.

As a seeker and disciple of Yeshua and TheWay, I am well aware of the fact that when the sun crosses the equator, my energy levels increase drastically.   And I am also aware that this energy level begins to fall off at the end of summer as the sun moves south and sinks below the equator.   During the fall and the winter I have to be concerned as to how much energy I expel, because I don't have as much as I do in the spring time.   And in the other times of the year if I expel too much, I am more susceptible to sickness, and I can sink into a state of carnal lack of consciousness where I can no longer achieve higher states of mind and elevated consciousness.  

Because the people of the Nations worshipped the potency of male sexual energy,  Saturnalia/Christmas is the rebirth of this sexual energy as the sun bottoms out in the southern hemisphere and begins it journey of (sexual) renewal as it moves northward.   Admittedly, I don't feel the moon in the same manner as my wife and daughters -- because as a male, my energy levels and powers move with the sun -- while my wife and daughters move with the moon.   But being a person of ultra-consciousness, I also work within the daily cycles of the masculine and feminine to achieve my greatest strengths and abilities.   Because of the cycles of day and night, I am able to better connect with my intuitive (feminine) nature-insight, when the feminine cycle is at its fullness at midnight to dawn.   It is during this time when people sleep and the environment is clear of their carnal thoughts that are generated into the ethers that surround the earth.   And with them squandering away one of the most introspective cycles of the day, their perpetual babbling of mind is stilled, and the ethers are cleared from their noise of the mind that they perpetually generate.  It is at this phase of the day that I am able to invoke the feminine cycle to better connect with my inner soul/higher self -- and in this solitude of feminine intuitive being, I am able to better move in harmony with the Spirit, and manifest many of my most insightful spiritual writings.   If, on the other hand, I want to write from a powerful generative perspective, then my greatest window is between dawn and noon during the male cycle of the day when I can draw upon the power of the sun when I write.   In the manner of the Essene/Ebionites, I usually meditate just before dawn when the cycles of day and night are in balance. 

One of the most important elements of the Key of Knowledge which opens the inner narrow gate to not only the Kingdom, but also phases of higher consciousness and elevated enlightened insight, is the knowledge of how to apply the Third Force of Creation to connect with higher reality.   The Essene/Ebionites meditated and prayed at dawn, because the balance of the male/female cosmic phases assisted them in balancing the body, mind and spirit within them.    That we are Created male and female in the image of God, is an important element in applying the Key of Knowledge in the life of the seeker.   And in the article on The Divine Marriage, the intricacies of the male/female dynamic union are explored (see The Divine Marriage).   The objective of what is called Sacred Sex where husband and wife spiritualize their body-vessel and make it a fit Temple of Consecration and raise up the sexual energies in order to pray and meditate together, is to drive the sexual energies into a heightened balance and bring about a state of prolonged elevated consciousness.   When the division of male/female is negated through what is referred to as Sacred Sex, you can not only merge the minds -- but you can simultaneously inhabit both bodies -- and thus, truly become "one flesh" as stated in the Bible.   Since the mind is in the etheric field that surrounds the body and works through the glands and organs to animate the personality manifest in the body-vessel, if you can raise the energy level up in Sacred Sex and polarize all the individual cells like a bio-magnet so the male and female polarities of the individual physical cells align in the manner of a bar of iron that is magnetized, then you are able to more easily move the consciousness beyond the physical during an active cycle (positive-active state of meditation), and since the physical is connected, you can move into both bodies and merge the minds with your husband/wife during this heightened state.    But what is important to understand is the need for the balance and fullness that invokes the Third Force of Creation within the two, and manifests higher reality.   A similar balance is more easily achieved at dawn in times of prayer and meditation.   And as a person becomes aware of other cycles, they can then use them to their greatest strength in order to power the body-mind and drive it toward higher consciousness and enter phases of higher reality.   If you learn to polarity breathe, you can balance the left and right forces of the body-mind.   And if you learn to positively breathe the cycles between your higher and lower natures, you can then achieve balance in this manner.   Since the mind is in the etheric field which surrounds the body, the breath is the (sexual) interaction between these two realities of self.   Once the reality of life is understood, there is nothing but male and female interacting (sexual) in the third force  -- which determines the level and quality of consciousness in the third force and between the two male/female polarities of mind and being.

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 Ebionite/Nazirene 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).
