Am I really married to all the men I've had sex with? This was a question I was asked by a woman who read the article on Lilith, The Demonic Reality Of Feminism, and she made reference to the following: When Jesus told the Samaritan woman that she had five husbands, what he was saying was that on another level, God recognized the reality of the sexual relationship as marriage. How can this be? The vast majority of people cannot even begin to contemplate the reality that Yeshua was making reference to, because they think of marriage as a religious/civil union that is commenced through a ceremony -- and if for some reason this union is dissolved, then the marriage union is terminated through a civil/religious procedure. But the reality that Yeshua was making reference to is beyond the traditions and customs of man -- the words of Yeshua portray to us a higher reality that few people are able to even begin to perceive or contemplate!

The Living Waters

Go, Call Your Husband

In these words are portrayed the wisdom of a higher reality that few men and women today are able to comprehend. When the woman asked Yeshua for a drink of the Living Water that was not of this world, he told the woman to go and call her husband. Why? Why, when the woman asked Yeshua for a dring of the Living Water that he told her about, did he not give her of this Water -- seemingly making the receiving of this Living Water upon the presence of her husband? And when the woman replied: "I have no husband". Yeshua said to her that she has five husbands -- and the one she has at present, is not her husband. How could the woman who was without a husband, have five -- and yet, the one she has is not her husband who she must have in order to receive the "Living Waters"? People today search for the Living Waters of man's higher reality that Yeshua makes reference to, and because of their divide natures they cannot drink of the spiritual well that bestows everlasting life. For a very important reason that the vast majority of people today fail to comprehend, Yeshua told the woman that in order to receive the Living Waters, she must first bring her husband to drink the Waters with her.

When the woman replied that she did not have a husband, Yeshua said that she had replied correctly - and while on one level she had five husbands, what we fail to realize is the fact that on another equally important level the one she had at present was not her husband. And because most Christians and students of the scriptures don't possess the depth to understand what is being said in these word, few people are able to apply these sacred truths to their own lives today. In part the answer can be found in two important recent Christian archeological discoveries known as the Oxyrhynchus Papyri and the Gospel of Thomas where we can see an essential teaching that Constantine removed from the Bible (see The Orthodox Corruption Of The Bible) which Yeshua conveyed to those who asked him about the coming of the Kingdom: “When the Lord was asked by a certain man, when should his kingdom come, he said unto him, when two shall be one and the without as the within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female”. That the Kingdom is within us, and this is an authentic teaching of the Yeshua with respect to entering the Kingdom (see Gate Of Eden), this teaching which was at one time in our scriptures is affirmed to by St. Clement, the disciple of Peter, in his The Second Epistle of Clement where he writes: “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’”. What these important teachings convey is the reality of an inner Armageddon, and the spiritual birth of the disciple in the Kingdom within.

These strange sounding words are so very crucial for the modern Christian to understand, that no amount of words can possibly do them justice with respect to their immense importance. What they convey to us is the Divine Pattern -- i.e., in the same way that each of us came into being through the intermingling of the polar opposites (male and female) of our physical parents, the disciple is born into the next world by the merger of the paradoxical opposites within his own mind and being. Thus, where in the expression of the sexes each of us already moves within the forces of Creation throughout every aspect of our lives, now we only have to learn to apply this knowledge to make the two one, the inner and the outer the same, and thereby open the gate that Yeshua spoke of as existing within our own selves.

The great truth that has been continually expressed by both Jewish and Christian visionaries is that the knowledge of the mysteries of God and the Divine Plan begins with the knowledge of ourselves as the Prodigal Sons of our Heavenly Father. It is for this reason that the second-century Church Father Clement of Alexandria said that it is “…the greatest of all lessons to know one's self. For if one knows himself, he will know God; and knowing God, he will be made like God… and that man becomes God, since God so wills”. In his treaties on The Soul and the Resurrection, St Gregory writes that “the Resurrection is no other thing than 'the re-constitution of our nature in its original form’”, and states that there will come a time “…when the complete whole of our race shall have been perfected from the first man to the last”.

What Yeshua said to the woman was the in order to drink of the Living Waters and enter the Kingdom within, she had to have a husband -- i.e., which parallels the above teachings with respect to when the Kingdom will come "...'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”. So without the male, the woman could not receive the Living Waters -- and because she had five men who were not her true husband, it was impossible for her to make "...the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.

Christians will immediately attempt to lessen the above words of Yeshua with respect to the woman's need for a husband -- or attempt to explain Yeshua's words away in an attempt to make them mean something other than what is being said -- but it must be understood that there is a very large portion of the New Testament scriptures that undergo this process of elimination because the teachings of Yeshua conflict with accepted Church doctrine. Yet, what most Christians fail to realize is the fact that the vast majority of scriptural citings that they rely upon to support Church doctrine, were added to the scriptures in order to support the positions of the Church in its earliest debates over what is required to receive the promise of the Kingdom. But what you must also understand is the fact that the vast majority of people who defend Church doctrine, are not in pursuit of Truth -- like the Sadducees and Pharisees who Yeshua condemned, they read the scriptures through the filter of their respective Church doctrines -- and because of their allegiance to the Church and rejection to Truth when it is presented to them, their hearts are hardened in the manner of those who opposed Messiah/Christ. Quoting the article of The Orthodox Corruption Of The Scriptures:

The truth and the facts to the matter is very clearly expressed in the words of Prof. Bart D. Ehrman in his book, The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture, where he warns us that: "...theological disputes, specifically disputes over Christology, prompted Christian scribes to alter the words of scripture in order to make them more serviceable for the polemical task. Scribes modified their manuscripts to make them more patently ‘orthodox’ and less susceptible to ‘abuse’ by the opponents of orthodoxy" -- which orthodoxy was to bring the text of the Bible into conformity with the doctrines and tenets of the Church of the Roman Emperor Constantine. To close our hearts and minds to the facts, and ignore the truth, is from a New Covenant perspective synonymous with relinquishing any claim whatsoever with respect to being a follower of Jesus.

With regard to the condition of the Bible we presently use: The surviving Greek texts of the book of Acts are so radically different from each other, that it has been suggested that perhaps there were multiple versions written. In his book The Text of the New Testament, Dr. Vincent Taylor writes that "The manuscripts of the New Testament preserve traces of two kinds of dogmatic alterations: those which involve the elimination or alteration of what was regarded as doctrinally unacceptable or inconvenient, and those which introduce into the Scriptures proof for a favorite theological tenet or practice".

To put Dr. Taylor's words in perspective: What Dr. Taylor is stating is that, whatever doctrine Jesus taught which the Church of the Roman Empire did not agree with, there is overwhelming evidence that the church corrupters removed what was objectionable from their perspective. In like manner, whatever doctrines the Church regarded as being true, regardless of whether that belief was supported in the scriptures, the Church inserted this belief into the Bible in an attempt to make it authentic. What Dr. Taylor is warning us is there is good reason to conclude that our scriptures have been rewritten by the Church of Constantine. Now the question that is being posed here is whether you believe the theological tenets of Rome, or the disciples of Christ -- because the two are not the same.

In the example of the above teachings with respect to when the Kingdom would come -- i.e., “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’”.-- this teaching on an inner Kingdom (Luke 17:20-21) that would never come upon the earth in the manner that carnal Jews and Christians looked for it (see Gate Of Eden), was against accepted Church doctrine -- so it had to be removed from the Bible. Yet, there are not only numerous extra-Biblical sources where this quotation in many variations can still be found, but as can be seen in Yeshua's words with the woman at the well, the requirement of merging the male/female still remains in the Bibles that Christians use -- but because of their opposition to accepted Church doctrine, these words are basically ignored and not understood.

The Ultimate Biblical Test: A person of reason will ask: How do I know which biblical verses were added -- which were edited to mean something else -- and which valid biblical verses were removed? And these are reasonable questions that must be asked. There are enough biblical teachings left that demonstrate the need to overcome the obstacles of this world in the pursuit of opening the inner "strait gate" to the Kingdom within (see Gate Of Eden), that the seeker should be able to begin to discern which verses were either corrupted or inserted in the scriptures to support the Church doctrine of blind belief and the concept that you will go to heaven when you physically die. Further, as you begin to seek the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21) through a change in mindset and lifestyle, you will begin to experience the gradual opening of this inner door that exists within each of us -- i.e., "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" (Rev 3:20-22 NKJ).

The error of carnal men is that they look for the Kingdom outwardly, in the manner of the Sadducees and Pharisees who Yeshua condemned as false shepherds -- i.e., "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21 NKJ) -- and it is realized and entered through a change of mind and lifestyle. And while these words teach us that the Kingdom will never come upon the earth in the manner that carnal Jews and Christians predict, the seeker permits the Kingdom to come within him/her when s/he embraces the teachings of Yeshua in the words: "...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’”.

So the ultimate biblical test is when we become true believers and people of faith, and alter our life in accordance with the teachings of Yeshua and permit the Kingdom to come within us. And while it is in the political and monetary interests of the Church to preach an all-inclusive Jesus who saves all who philosophically believe -- regardless of a change of mindset and life -- this very commercial Church doctrine is in conflict with the warning of Yeshua who said: "But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?... 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!'" (Luke 6:46; Matt 7:21-23 NKJ). Now many will say: If these things were true, and a genuine spiritual disciple could open the inner door and enter the Kingdom of God, and then return to this outer world, then many witnesses would exist! Throughout history many witnesses have existed -- but they have either been ignored, silenced by the Church, or even murdered (see The Death Of The Religion Of Jesus).

Accountability: What this means is that when you pass from this life you will be accountable for what you have accomplished. Where the Church preaches that Christians will be saved, the Bible not only teaches the opposite, but warns that more will be required of Christians than those who the Church condemns as unsaved sinners. In fact, an ignored warning of Peter confirms this truth where he states: "For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: 'A dog returns to his own vomit,' and, 'a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire'" (2 Pet 2:21-22 NKJ). What Yeshua taught was the necessity for one to change their lives from living in accord with the culture and philosophy of this world, and to seek the Kingdom within. And what Peter warns is that those who learn of the need for change through the teachings of Yeshua, and turn back to the mindset and lifestyle of this world, will receive the greater condemnation than those who never "...have known the way of righteousness"!. And this is further confirmed in the words of Yeshua where he warned: "And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more" (Luke 12:47-48 NKJ).

Like most other biblical teachings, the vast majority of people who call themselves Christians today simply cannot comprehend the higher reality of these profound words, because their allegiance to manmade Church doctrine has totally alienated them from the true teachings of Yeshua and TheWay. Because important spiritual concepts have been removed from their Bibles (see The Orthodox Corruption Of The Scriptures), they can no longer even begin to comprehend that more will be required of Christians than non-believers. Yet, when they pass from this life and must account for what they did or did not accomplish, they will be confronted by the reality that is they had truly had faith and believed enough to pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay, that they would have been able to prove within themselves what is right and what is wrong. Yeshua/Jesus did not come and tell us what to believe -- but rather, how to open the mind to man's higher reality and permit the Kingdom to come within us. But because Christians have permitted themselves to embrace the ways of the Sadducees and Pharisees who were alienated from the inner Kingdom by virtue of their carnal manmade doctrines and traditions, they have made themselves apostates to the teachings of Yeshua and the Kingdom within. Yeshua came to save those who were lost not by giving them a new system of blind belief and faith in the manner that modern Christians suppose today -- but rather, to teach the prodigal sons/daughters of the Most High how to escape enslavement in this, what the Bible portrays as "the far country... and outer darkness", and permit us to return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination through the door within us: "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." (see Gate Of Eden).

Shock And Awe: When you physically pass from this life there will come a time where you will have to give an accounting for what you have accomplished in this life you are presently living. A most profound statement by Paul is made in the opening of Romans where he warns the reader: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse" (Rom 1:18-20 NKJ). What this means is that it is within everyone's power to discern all truths of Creation, and know God, because God has made the acquisition of Truth and the return path of the prodigal sons/daughters to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination available to all who seek it by virtue of the Divine Pattern of Creation. And this great truth is further revealed in the words: "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring'" (Acts 17:24-28 NKJ).

Since we now understand the spiritual connection between the Essenes, Yeshua/Jesus, and what is presently called Christianity, we can see the reality of these above little used biblical quotations in the Essene Gospel of Peace (see The Pursuit Of The Letter That Killeth) where Yeshua warns: "And Jesus answered: Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men... God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit... But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and you shut your ears that you may not hear. I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works? And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men? How may we read the laws of God elsewhere than in the scriptures? Where are they written? Read them to us from there where you see them, for we know nothing else but the scriptures which we have inherited from our forefathers. Tell us the laws of which you speak, that hearing them we may be healed and justified. Jesus said: You do not understand the words of life, because you are in death. Darkness darkens your eyes and your ears are stopped with deafness. For I tell you, it profits you not at all that you pore over dead scriptures if by your deeds you deny him who has given you the scriptures..."

Truth is therefore the birth-right of every person who has ever entered into this life -- but to possess the Truth, one must themselves be possessed by the Truth -- and the Truth alone! In order to discern and know the Truth -- and thereby open the inner door to the Kingdom -- one must begin to live the truth that each person possesses in word, thought and deed. I know of no better portrayal of the path to Truth than the words of Yeshua as presented in the 90th chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes where it states:

What Is Truth?

1.Again the twelve were gathered together in the circle of palm trees, and one of them even Thomas asked the others, "What is Truth? For the same things appear different to different minds, and even to the same mind at different times. What, then, is Truth?"

2.And as they were speaking Yeshua appeared in their midst and said, "Truth, one and absolute, is in God alone, for no man, neither any body of men, knows that which God alone knows, who is the All in All. To men is truth revealed, according to their capacity to understand and receive."

3."The One truth has many sides, and one sees one side only, another, and some see more than others, according as it is given to them."

4.Behold this crystal; how the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yea four times twelve, and each face reflects one ray of light, and one regards one face, and another, another, but it is the one crystal, and the one light that shines in all."

5."Behold again, When one climbs a mountain and attaining one height, he says, this is the top of the mountain, let us reach it, and when they have reached that height, lo, they see another beyond it until they come to that height from which no other height is to be seen, if so be they can attain it."

6."So it is with truth. I am the truth and the way and the life, and have given to you the truth which I have received from above. And that which is seen and received by one, is not seen and received by another. That which appears true to some, seems not true to others. They who are in the valley don't see what they who are on the hill top see."

7."But to each, it is the truth as the one mind seeth it, and for that time, till a higher truth shall be revealed to the same; and to the soul which receives higher light, shall be given more light. Wherefore don't condemn others, that you not be condemned."

8."As you keep the holy law of love, which I have given to you, so will the truth be revealed more and more to you, and the spirit of truth which comes from above will guide you, albeit through many wanderings, into all truth, even as the fiery cloud guided the children of Israel through the wilderness."

9."Be faithful to the light you have, till a higher light is given to you. Seek more light, and you will have abundantly; rest not, until you find."

10."God gives you all truth, as a ladder with many steps, for the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth which seems today, you will abandon for the higher truth tomorrow. Press toward perfection."

11."Who so keeps the holy law which I have given, the same will save their souls, however differently they may see the truths which I have given."

12."Many will say to me, "Lord, Lord, we have been zealous for your truth. But I will say to you, NO! but, that others may see as you see, and none other truth beside. Faith without charity is dead. Love is the fulfilling of the law."

13."How will faith in what they receive profit them that hold it in unrighteousness? They who have love have all things, and without love there is nothing worth. Let each hold what they see to be the truth in love, knowing that where love is not, truth is a dead letter and profits nothing."

14."There abide goodness, and truth, and beauty, but the greatest of these is goodness. If any have hatred to their fellows, and harden their hearts to the creatures of God's hands, how can they see truth to salvation, seeing their eyes are blinded and their hearts are hardened to God's creation."

15."As I have received the truth, so have I given it to you. Let each receive it according to their light and ability to understand, and don't persecute those who receive it after a different interpretation."

16."For truth is the might of God, and it shall prevail in the end over all errors. But the holy law which I have given is plain for all, and just and good, Let all observe it for the salvation of their souls."

What is of paramount importance is that the seeker understand that Truth is a matter of development -- each level of Truth must be nourished and developed -- and as one lives each level of truth in the manner of climbing Jacob's Ladder, only then can the next level of Truth be received. And perhaps the greatest obstacle is the fact that each thought and impression must evolve through the cycles of conception, intuitive development, birth, nourishment and maturation. And this requires the interaction of the male/female polarities of Creation throughout the process. In the same way that neither the male or female is self-generating -- but can only bring forth new life because they are each half of the whole, this is true with all things.

In the above we see that the Kingdom of God is within us -- that it is within the power of all people to seek the Truth within themselves -- that Truth is revealed to us in accordance with the Godliness of our thinking and lifestyle -- that while for good reason men of wisdom wrote the scriptures to be used as a guide in TheWay, these sacred writings were not the revelation of God to man in the manner that many religious people today think -- that because of the Divine Pattern of all of Creation, each person is accountable for finding and knowing the Truth -- and that in man's journey into the Light and Truth, what God provided man in his journey was woman, and man to woman.

This last reality is truly important to be cognizant of because in most instances it is this reality of the unity of man and woman that is totally lacking in the life of most people seeking God and Higher Truth. The very first words of man (Adam) as reported in the symbolism of Genesis, was the reality that woman was part of man: "And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man" (Gen 2:23 NKJ). And in the symbology of the scriptures, because Adam and Eve had eaten from the Tree of Dualith -- i.e., the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil -- they had become banished from the Garden of Eden: "Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever -- therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life" (Gen 3:22-24 NKJ). Thus, if man were to eat of the Tree of Life, then he would live forever. Quoting the article on The Gate Of Eden:

The Bible continually warns us that the path or the second birth and entrance into the Kingdom is not easy. The strife of the inner war within ourselves as embodied in the symbols of Armageddon is seen in the words: "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22 NKJ). Thus, in the same way that a woman travails in labor to bring a child into this world, we must ourselves endure the "…many tribulations" of spiritual labor to be born into the Kingdom of God. Since the Kingdom is within us, and Armageddon is therefore not an historical event -- but more factually, a spiritual event in the life of the disciple in search of Truth -- we must then totally re-evaluate everything we think we know about both the Gospel Message, and the life we are presently living. In fully comprehending these biblical statements in relation to the whole purpose of the teachings of The Way, let us again examine the definitive statement which conveys to us the very essence of the Gospel -- and especially the Revelation of John: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie" (Rev 22:14-15 NKJ).

Within the dynamics of the male/female relationship that is through initial sexual interaction begins a marriage-union where the two become "one flesh" -- and this union is then evolved through all the stages where the Tree of Duality is merged back into the Tree of Life in the manner of Eve being restored to Adam in the personification of a spiritual Adam-Eve -- then the man and woman who truly becomes a husband and wife on all three physical, soul-mind and spiritual levels of their being, can accomplish within the Sacred Marriage Union what would take the traditional Monastic-Buddhist religious path eons of lifetimes to accomplish. Why? Because within the dynamics of the husband and wife who are immersed in a Sacred Marriage Union, all the elements of spiritual success are present by the Design of the Divine Pattern of Creation.

The Tree Of Life
The Paradox of Male/Female Opposites

The objective of life is to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life and enter the Kingdom within and return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination. In the diagram is the pattern of the mind of man as portrayed in the twelve spheres of the Tree of Life. When Yeshua told the woman at the well about the Living Water that one must drink to inherit eternal life, he was making reference to the Living Water that proceeds out from the Kingdom through the Tree of Life and can only be drank by those who travel upon TheWay: "And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations" (Rev 22:1-2 NKJ).

Those genuine disciples of TheWay who have received and comprehend the reality of The Divine Marriage/Pattern, understand that it is the divided reality of male/female in all the lower aspects of Creation that causes us to be banished from the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21). When Yeshua said that the Kingdom will come "'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’” -- he was making reference to the divided reality of male/female with respect to our physical self and our indwelling soul and spiritual natures -- our divided reality with respect to the Kingdom within -- and our divided reality with respect to the male/female polarities within the Tree of Life which causes it to be the Tree of Duality! The initial divided reality is seen in the division of the male column as represented in the spheres of Logic, Judgment and Understanding, and the female column of Intuition, Mercy and Wisdom -- and it is this divided reality that causes the Tree of Life to be portrayed as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil or the Tree of Duality. In the diagram above we see four (4) triune separations of male/female which comprise what is portrayed in Genesis and throughout the scriptures as the Tree of Life. If the white sphere was projected outward and perceived as surrounding the other eleven in the manner that the outer body surrounds the organs, glands and structural systems of the body/mind, what we would have is the division of the upper (male) with respect to the lower (female) -- as well as the division of the right column (male) and the left column (female) -- and we can see a further division portrayed in the upper heavenly triad of Understanding/Wisdom and the balance of the two as portrayed in the blue sphere -- in relation to the earthly triad as portrayed in Logic/Intuition and the balance which is the Foundation sphere.

Once the Divine Pattern of Creation is understood, then we can begin to perceive the true teachings of the ancient men of wisdom with respect to the duality of Creation -- which is in actuality the doctrine of the Trinity when the balance or offspring of the Two Dynamic Forces of Creation is understood in its all-encompassing reality. There is nothing other than the all-pervading Forces of Male/Female -- with the balance portrayed in the Third Force of Creation which we all Mind. Quoting the article on Lilith, The Demonic Reality Of Modern Feminism:

In the same way that in the allegorical Genesis portrayal we are presented with the pattern of Eve (Reflective feminine nature) separated from Adam (Dynamic Creative Force) this is in actuality the pattern with which all of Creation is imbued. Woman was projected out of man in order to enable man to grow and mature into fully developed Children of the Most High God -- and it is through the initial division of male/female as portrayed in the symbolism of the Tree of Duality that man is to first gain the knowledge of good and evil, and then the wisdom and understanding necessary to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Life and become the fully matured Offspring of God. But in order to begin the process of mental and spiritual evolution, the man and woman must interact and reflect each other in a diverse world with an uncountable number of male/female possibilities. On a primary level, the sexual interaction and exchange of bodily fluids opens a link between male and female in a causal parallel realm that we cannot see with our physical senses -- but acts as a river wherein vital life-force flows from the male into the female -- and in a genuine marriage, the female returns this energy back to the male at the level of the breasts where she is polarized positive (male) at a level in the mind/body where the male is receptive (female) -- and from this higher level of mind and being where the minds merge, the seed of true spiritual transformation is conceived, born and matured within the relationship of the two. Once the Divine Pattern of Creation is comprehended, what is being portrayed is the Natural Path -- and while all religions and philosophies present alternatives, these alternate paths do not naturally make use of the All-Pervading Power of the Most High.

On a cosmic scale it is the physical act of sex that connects the two on an etheric-causal level -- and it is this connection that is not perceived by the physical senses of man that has the power to bind the two (male/female) soul-seekers in their pursuit of higher reality and when spiritually matured, possesses the Keys to open the inner door to the Kingdom of God. Thus, while the words, traditions and laws of man came later and mean absolutely nothing from the Higher Reality of the Laws of God (see What Is A Marriage) on a cosmic perspective it is the sex act that links men and women into the initial phases of what we call marriage. This reality that Christians today ignore and our modern culture is totally ignorant of, is presented in the words of Yeshua when he said to the woman at the well: "Jesus said to her, You have well said, 'I have no husband,' for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband"

Cosmic Sperm And Ovum: On a cosmic scale it is the act of physical sex and the exchange of bodily fluids that creates the primary initial union that we call marriage. In the Divine Pattern of Creation, this was brought about to assist soul-seekers to overcome the divided reality of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil within them, and thereby enable the man and woman to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life. Thus, on a cosmic scale, the sexual act constitutes a marriage -- by virtue of the fact that the two minds and bodies have been connected through sexual intercourse -- and remain connected until physical death -- the two are therefore married in the eyes of God because the connection of paired sex-centers remains, and the flow of vital life-force between the two continues. Thus, in the cosmic sense, there is a union of the two.

The polarities of male/female are halves of the whole. When a child is conceived, the male sperm and female egg divide and the child is then the product of the two when they (sperm/egg) merge and combine into ONE. On the cosmic scale, male/female are divided polarities that must be merged together to make the WHOLE. Where we are taught by our culture to view ourselves as an individual and complete being, on a cosmic scale we are as the divided sperm or divided egg that must be merged in order for the child of higher truth to begin the process of birth. Moreover, the polarities of positive/negative, male/female, dynamic/reflective must remain active throughout every phase of development and evolution. Unlike the physical which can be brought into being though one male/female interaction, in the development of higher mind and spirit, the interaction between male/female must be constant.

What the majority of men and women fail to comprehend is the reality that marriage contains within itself seven levels -- of which the first is brought about and initiated through sex as a primary level of marriage. Why? Because male and female are opposite polarities that are half of the equation of One. When the sex centers of a man and woman are connected together through sex and the exchange of bodily fluids, on a cosmic scheme the universe not only recognizes the connection, but this connection is maintained in an etheric-causal realm that we don't see with our physical eyes and senses. In the case of the woman at the well who had been intimate with five men, Yeshua acknowledged that she had five husbands on a cosmic level -- and he knew this because an evolved spiritual soul such as the historical Yeshua could observe the five (5) rivers of connecting life-force that was flowing into the woman on an etheric-causal level from the men with whom she had had sex. In a Genuine Spiritual Marriage where the two are bonded in both love and through sex, as the husband and wife grow spiritually, their relationship is able to evolve through each of the seven phases and levels of marriage -- and such a relationship is referred to as being consecrated in Heaven. This process whereby the relationship evolves through the seven stages is very difficult in the case where the man -- and especially the woman -- has multiple husbands at a primary level because of promiscuous and out-of-wedlock sex.

The Divine Pattern

Perhaps the greatest flaw in our thinking is seen in our failure to perceive our own threefold nature and the fact that we exist across the spectrum of multiple dimensions of consciousness -- with each dimension existing as both intimately connected on one plane, and independently conscious within the limitations of that dimension. In the Near Death Experience many people encounter what they describe as a Being of Light -- and while many describe this Being as Jesus, Moses, Krishna, and Angel and even God, what they fail to realize is the fact that they have encountered their Soul-Self, which is their true self who is often referred to as their higher self (see Being Of Light). fThe Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, under the heading of Souls, Transmigration of, provides us some insight into the nature of the soul: “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”.

What is important to understand is the fact that the soul of man has no sex, which is determined by the gender of the body in the life it is born into. And what is not understood even by those who claim to believe in reincarnation, is the fact that the soul-self is not suppressed by entering into physical life -- but rather, remains in what I describe in my own mystical experiences as the Realm of Souls (see Journey Into The Light). And if we begin to understand that what we perceive in this physical world is a pattern and symbol of higher reality -- i.e., a replication in physical form of the Divine Pattern on all levels of being -- then we can begin to grasp the larger picture of life that few people are able to comprehend. Taking this pattern into the next level of soul-reality, in the same way that we don't cease to exist during the sex act when our life-force of sperm or egg is released, neither does our soul/higher self cease to exist when an embryonic image of our soul-self is released into life in this physical realm. But within this pattern is a reality that few people in this world have ever considered -- i.e., the reality that on a soul-level, we exist in the manner of a sperm or egg dependent upon our male/female polarity. And in the same way that once the sperm/egg is released into the environment of the womb, only that sperm and egg that is merged into ONE, survives and enters into the next phase of fetal development. And in like manner, if the fetus fails to grow and develop, it too is miscarried and fails to be born into the next world.

Unlike the physical that only requires the initial interaction of male/female sperm/egg to begin the process of birth, because we are an embryonic image of our soul-self that is the embodiment of higher mind, the process of soul-birth must be evolved and carried out over the course of mental/spiritual development. What we are making reference to is the process of spiritual transformation that is portrayed in the article Gate Of Eden. The Narrow Gate which is made reference to by Yeshua is as the birth-canal through which we must emerge as we journey into the Kingdom within -- i.e., "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). So the process of second-birth which Yeshua said was absolutely necessary in the Gospel of John, cannot be achieved with our words or a prayer -- but rather, through the process of soul-birth and spiritual transformation (see Rebirth vs Church Doctrine). And in many ways the process is as mechanical as physical sex -- i.e., if the merger of opposites (sperm/egg) fails to take place, then the sperm or egg runs its course and is expelled from the environment of the womb which in the above words is portrayed in the reality of those who walk the broad-way that leads to self-destruction. It is not a matter of judgment as most religious people suppose -- but rather, the fulfilling of the Laws in the process of bringing about the next stage of birth. Belief and faith, therefore, is not proven with a person's words or allegience to a church or doctrine -- but rather, whether your truly possess the necessary belief and faith to totally surrender to the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay -- becoming the "good ground" as portrayed in the parable of the Sower And The Seed -- which over the course of proper development, brings forth the next stage of birth as portrayed by Yeshua in the requirement to "enter by the narrow gate". If the person believes and has faith, then they will make themselves the "good ground" that is necessary to bring about spiritual transformation and birth into the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21). If your proclaimed belief and faith is counterfeit, and you remain attached to the culture, thinking and divided mindset of this world, then your failure to enter through the narrow gate and necessary birth in the Kingdom will be your final judge. And in the same way that the sperm or egg that fails to merge into ONE once released into the womb is automatically (by Law) expelled and fails to enter into Life, so too do the people who represent either a sperm or egg on a soul-level of existence. And it is this reality of the merger into ONE through the process of overcoming duality and embracing the process of spiritual transformation, that is portrayed in Yeshua's words where he taught: "...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’”.

The Divine Pattern

The Conception, Nourishment, Birth, and Development

Of Truth And Higher Knowledge

Man's physical reality is a pattern and allegorical symbol and form of his own higher reality of mind and spirit. Mankind is perpetually immersed in a continual cycle of erroneous and dark philosophy, because he fails to comprehend the Divine Pattern of Creation. All of man's attempts to ascertain higher truth and wisdom is doomed to failure, until he learns to embrace the Divine Pattern within which all of Creation moves and has it's Being. Unconsciously, most of mankind pursue truth from a male perspective at the expense and suppression of the feminine -- of from a feminine perspective apart from the male -- and this attempt to embrace one side of the paradox at the expense of the other, is the portrayal of the eating of the fruit of the Tree of Duality. Our colleges and universities today embrace the requirements of the secular and commercial world -- and thus, all knowledge is polarized to the male linear perspective of logical reality. If you can't see it -- measure it -- predict it -- or prove it in a libratory in accordance with a linear model of reality -- the it does not exist. Further, if you can't use the knowledge to make money or secure materialistic gains, then it is not of any use.

The dynamics of mind and ultimately spirit are merely higher representations of man's physical reality. Quoting from the article on Lilith, The Demonic Reality Of Feminism:

In the same way that a child must be conceived through the interaction of the male/female sex centers which are as divided pairs -- and genuine knowledge must be conceived, nurtured and raised up through the harmonic balance of seven male/female spiritual centers as they manifest the higher realities of the mind through the twelve spheres of the Tree of Life -- higher consciousness and spiritual transformation is the fruit of the Divine Marriage where the spiritual centers of male/female are merged and manifest as "one flesh" in the Sacred Union of true Husband and Wife. Once properly understood, procreation can be likened to an allegorical symbol of the higher reality of the merger of man and woman. Where on a purely physical level there is the birth of a physical child -- on a mental level there is the manifestation of higher mind as portrayed in the symbolism of the conversion of the Tree of Duality into the Sacred Tree of Life -- and on a spiritual level there is the Divine Marriage where all division is overcome, and Spiritual Transformation is present in the Union. The reality of the triangle is that the higher point which extends into the Heavens, is always built upon the equality of the dualistic lower points -- and exists at a higher reality that the lower divided two. This reality where the two are merged and the higher reality is developed and formed, must take place in each of the twelve spheres of mind of the Tree of Life, and across the left/right columns of the Tree of Duality, and the upper/lower realities of heaven/earth, in the pursuit of the higher Truth that is beyond human comprehension and religious philosophy.

Since generally, men only listen to women when they want sex -- and women look upon the mindset of men as being flawed and overly aggressive -- Higher Truth remains beyond the reach of the philosophical positions and tenets of human thinking. In fact, because of the separation of the fruit of the Tree of Duality as represented in the division of male/female thought that must evolve into a higher reality that is beyond the lower two which must serve as a foundation of equal harmonic balance, all of man's cultures throughout all ages are equally immersed in the abyss of darkness -- lacking true wisdom and understanding that Yeshua taught to his faithful disciples as the Mysteries of God.

The minds of men and women are polarized to opposite spheres of the Tree of Life -- and as such, they represent the Tree of Duality which is referred to as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil --

Death By Culture
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he"
(Prov 23:7 KJV)

The vast majority of people today will totally reject the higher realities and purpose of life. Religious people create god in their own image, because they want to define the realities of their own lives. They reason: Why shouldn't we be free to experience life in any way that we desire? After all, if we only live once, then why not live your life by getting all the gusto out of life that is humanly possible? We are diverse creatures with unbounded appetites for tasting all the many realities of life. Materialism, fine foods, intoxicating drinks, drugs that release us from our inhibitions, limitations, and outdated morality, enhance our lives by making us feel free and happy. How could we marry someone without seeing if we are compatible with them in bed? How can we know if we will be happy with sex with our perspective spouse, unless we tried out others before hand? How can we so limit ourselves as to even think that we could only have sex with one person? Just because we are married, that does not mean that we can't enjoy the variety of other partners in our lives. We are complicated beings with many diverse needs and appetites -- we need to be free to experience the moment as the occasion arises.

These concepts are basically the foundation of liberalism -- and because liberal women should not be tied down to what they perceive to be domestic enslavement and child-rearing, liberalism evolves into socialism where the government becomes the provider and caretaker of the people. So incrementally, with sexual liberation came Feminism -- and from Feminism evolves socialism -- from socialism emerges secularism -- from secularism is religious apathy, Atheism and secular-humanism is the replacement theology for belief in God and a Higher Power. Feminism and socialism, therefore, which attempts to portray men and woman as being equal to the point of being interchangeable with the exception of their biological birth roles -- whereby man and woman are perceived to be separate and complete individuals in their own right -- once understood from a higher soul and spiritual perspective, represents the Culture of Death! Because the polarity of our gender casts us into the reality of soul-sperm or soul-egg -- and those sperm or egg that fails to combine and evolve into the next level of soul-birth are expelled from the Womb of Mother-God, the philosophy of Feminism is as detrimental to the people as is those religions and philosophies which suppress and enslave women in an unequal secondary role of religious/political life. In our present political structure, the Democrat Party is the champion of the Feminist cultural philosophy -- and while both parties possess their own variety of evil, this culture of liberalism, Feminism, socialism and separation from a soul and spiritual perspective becomes purely satanic. Further, under the umbrella of liberalism we see the ultimate denial of reality in the concept that two sperm can unite as one -- or or two eggs can unite as one -- and somehow bring forth the merger of opposites that are necessary in a marriage. That our modern religious-liberals are out of touch with reality is seen in their presumption that if the woman at the well had returned with here lesbian lover, Yeshua would have counted this the same as the merger of the necessary opposite polarities necessary for the child of higher truth to be conceived, born, and developed within the life of the two. Which like the culture of Feminism, liberal-religious and liberal social-secular philosophers are attempting to convince us that the earth is flat and everyone who states differently is out of touch with (their) reality. And as in the days of Columbus, the Feminist and liberal politically correct police have convinced the social-secular authorities to ignore and even suppress any other philosophy than theirs -- with the result that our children are imbued with the culture of death from a very young age. If a rational person questions their wisdom, they are demonized as narrow minded, homophobic, anti-woman, and one who is attempting to deny others their freedom and liberty.

The whole notion that two sperm or two eggs can merge into "one flesh" and become a single unit, is of course an extension of the Feminist philosophy which attempts to negate gender differences by embracing a false and counterfeit individuality. A male is an individual in the same way that a sperm is an individual -- and a woman is an individual in the same way that an egg is an individual. And while their individuality is true with respect to the divided reality of a sperm or egg -- their philosophy cannot negate the individual sperm/egg reality that unless there is a merger, both the egg and the sperm that remain separate are destined to perish. Under the title of War On The Family in the article Satan Wants You To Vote Democrat, the following quotation of the Feminist Agenda is presented:

War On The Family

Once understood, there is a Divine Pattern of Creation (see The Divine Marriage), and in every way liberalism is attempting to bring about the destruction of the family environment. In College-level Feminist Studies textbooks, men have been defined as "foreign male objects". Under the guise of not wanting to offend the children of single parent homes, many of the text books used by elementary school students have the father removed from the family environment. In the television and motion picture industry, young girls are encouraged to have out of wedlock children. Such cultural icons as Madonna all have children outside of marriage.

The Feminist movement is solidly Democrat -- which is fundamentally socialist with a Communist Marxist foundation -- and the core of the movement is anti-marriage. Quoting from Marx's Communist Manifesto, which said, "The bourgeois claptrap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parent and child, becomes all the more disgusting …", we can observe the Democrat, Feminist, Socialist rejection of the traditional marriage and family environment. In her younger days the radical feminist icon Gloria Steinem led the women’s liberation with the phrase: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle". The image on the right of a fish riding a bicycle became a popular symbol that women put on their T-shirts, flags and other clothing. Feminist author Vivian Gornick wrote: "Being a housewife is an illegitimate profession ... the choice to serve and be protected and plan toward being a family-maker is a choice that shouldn't be. The heart of radical feminism is to change that" (Vivian Gornick, feminist author, University of Illinois, The Daily Illini, April 25, 1981). In the words of Swedish Feminist Barbro Backberger: "The idea that someone should be supported within marriage can never find acceptance in a socialist society. For this reason, marriage, as an institution where one non-working partner is supported, must be abolished, the children should be supported by the state and cared for and/or raised collectively and every adult be self-sufficient." Dr. Mary Jo Bane, Feminist and assistant professor of education at Wellesley College and associate director of the school's Center for Research on Women stated: "In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families, and communally raise them." Feminist leader Sheila Cronan stated the position: "Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women's movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage." Harvard Press author, Feminist Catharine MacKinnon, who in her recent book compares male sexual desire to rape -- whether women consent to sex or not. Expressing what one reviewer called "a whole-hog hatred of men," MacKinnon explains: "What in the liberal view looks like love and romance looks a lot like hatred and torture to the feminist."

Gloria Steinem, the famous celebrity feminist, once declared, “We have to abolish and reform the institution of marriage…By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God…We must understand what we are attempting is a revolution, not a public relations movement.” Novelist and feminist Toni Morrison concurred, announcing, “The little nuclear family is a paradigm that just doesn’t work. It doesn’t work for white people or for black people. Why we are hanging on to it, I don’t know.” Linda Gordon, a radical feminist writer, attempted to rally her sisters by announcing, “The nuclear family must be destroyed, and people must find better ways of living together…Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process. Families have supported oppression by separating people into small, isolated units, unable to join together to fight for common interests.”

The failure of left leaning Democrats to propose serious alternatives to family organization doesn’t mean, of course, that anti-family advocates aren’t deadly serious about their stated goals. On the contrary, while their alternatives to family organization may be ill-considered and intellectually bankrupt, their hostility toward the family is quite real. Nor does it mean that their anti-family diatribes should be taken lightly. Much damage has been caused by ill-conceived and emotionally charged rhetoric (“Ideas have consequences,” as the conservative writer Richard Weaver once said).

Like numerous other intellectual fads and fashions, the animosity toward the family has managed to seep into the larger culture, and has influenced millions of women (and many men). In college, for example, feminist professors wield enormous influence, especially on impressionable young women. These students are often told that marrying and starting a family is a betrayal of womanhood. In even more explicit terms, they are taught that marrying, having children, and assuming the role of a housewife is tantamount to being a slave or a prostitute.

Of perhaps even more influence, however, is the widespread belief -- currently enjoying cachet among the intellectual elite -- that the two-parent family is nothing more than a socially created fiction, or, in the parlance of postmodernism, a “social construct.” There is nothing neither new nor original about the postmodernist approach to deconstructing social institutions, such as the family. Such a perspective goes back to the ancient Greek sophists, who made many of the same observations. The family, when viewed as a mere arbitrary choice of the moment, is seen as in a continual state of evolution; it is a transitory phenomenon, something that can be altered and changed according to fiat.

Study after study has shown that children who live in single-parent homes tend to have more problems -- emotional, educational, and physical -- than children living with both parents. It is a well-known statistic, for example, that fully 70% of all prison and reform school inmates come from fatherless homes. It is equally well known that instances of abuse in single-parent households are much higher than in two-parent households. Children in single-parent households are 77% more likely to be physically abused and have a 165% greater chance of experiencing physical neglect, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study. And, according to a recent Swedish study, children who are raised in households with only one parent are more likely to suffer health problems, such as mental illness and suicide risk, than children raised by two parents.

The Left’s ongoing war against the family -- for surely it is a war -- has been deeply destructive. The above statistics demonstrate just how destructive this war has been. Removing the father from the home and denigrating the role of motherhood has opened the door to a host of social pathologies that currently afflict American society. Rather than liberating women and children from the supposed “tyranny” of the family, the Left, in its headlong quest to remake society, has unleashed social chaos, poverty, illegitimacy, and crime. For many leftists, of course, this is their goal. Underlying the Left’s hatred of the family is an even greater antipathy toward Western culture in general and American society in particular. Anything that might undermine the American way of life, such as the devaluation of the family, is heartily applauded by leftists.

In order to destroy the foundation of marriage, liberal Democrats are behind the movement to redefine marriage as any two people. They have infiltrated our schools and are teaching our daughters -- confusing them -- turning them against both marriage and God. In the California Supreme Court ruling that permitted second-parent homosexual adoption, one of the dissenting Judges wrote that the ruling opens the door to "new and even bizarre family structures." And while in liberal America, and places such as San Francisco, these groups have a right to exist and live in the manner of their own choosing, they do not have the right to use the Democratic Party and activist judges to export their anti-family culture to every region of America.

Created In The Image Of: From a biblical perspective, young maidens were kept away from men other than the man they were to marry for a number of reasons. In the same way that within the One God there is the multitude of souls who are the individual people/inhabitants throughout all of Creation -- we, being created in the image and likeness of God, have a multitude of personalities within us. From a soul/higher self perspective, this multitude forms the many lives that the soul lives. From our perspective, we can have as many as 144,000 separate (human) personalities within our consciousness that switches in accordance with the movement of the Laws and astrological influences -- but more dramatically, these personalities switch in accordance with external stimulation and our environment. And since most people dwell in a state of relative unconsciousness, they fail to perceive the switches in personalities that take place. The result is that the personality they execute, is not the same one who did the crime of murder. The unfaithful husband/wife, is not the same as the one in the relationship. The man/woman who leaves for work in the morning, is not the same as the one who eats dinner at home.

In the same way that there are different levels of marriage -- different levels of unity with one's inner soul/higher self -- and different levels of Unity with God -- the division of personalities within us is driven by certain factors. Ideally, children should be raised within the family environment -- and the family should dwell within a compatible community. When you send your children off to school, you are permitting personalities within the child to segment and separate. A Hasidic Rabbi does not touch any woman other than his wife, because he does not want what is called an acka (probably not spelled right) connection between two people. In the same way that we leave finger prints, we remain connected to a lesser degree to anyone who we touch. That sub-personalities are created, and often develop independently, is the reason why parents are often totally astonished when they find out the difference between their child at home -- the one who attends school -- and the one that runs and was raised by the pack of kids. They reason to themselves: My child couldn't do that -- but they only know the personality of the child that interacts with them, and not the child who walks out the door. Within the one child/person dwells the legion that Yeshua portrayed as possessed by inhabiting influences -- and even demons.

As male/female, we are each equally flawed in that we represent a divided reality as portrayed in the Tree of Duality (Knowledge of Good and Evil). In the allegorical Genesis account we have two conflicting statements -- i.e., that if the fruit of the Tree of Duality were eaten we would die -- and by eating the fruit our eyes would be opened to good and evil and we would become like God. From a higher perspective, division is death of man's higher reality in the separation -- and it was for this reason that the prodigal son was portrayed as being dead and by returning to the Kingdom of the Father, has been restored to life -- i.e., "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate" (Luke 15:17-24 NIV).

While religious men of very limited spiritual perception have long pointed to the allegorical fall from the Garden of Eden as the source of all of man's woes, in actuality just the opposite is true. Without this divided reality and the fall of man into the lower realities of nature, nothing could be accomplished. When the prodigal son left the Kingdom of the Father and ventured into "the far country... outer darkness", the son existed in a state of ignorance and unknowing -- and was easily deceived by what is portrayed as the god of this world. So while on one hand division is the cause of all evil, on the other hand division brings about the eventual good as the mind of the prodigal son evolves -- and the division is overcome in the return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination. The problem is that so long as men attempt to read the Book of Genesis as an account of history, instead of spiritual events in the life of the soul of man, then he can never come to understand the true meaning of the Word of God that is written within the allegory of the text.

So while eating the fruit of the Tree of Duality brings death on one level of being, on another level this division is necessary -- and those who use this divided reality to their greatest advantage, reap the benefits -- while those who do not, sink themselves into the abyss (of hell). There are strengths to being a male -- and in like manner, there are strengths to being a female. The objective of life is to use these strengths to the soul's advantage -- permitting the opposite sex to use their inherent gender strengths to negate our weaknesses -- and combining the strengths to conceive, form, and give birth to higher spirituality in one's pursuit of one's true self and ultimately Union with God. So from a spiritual perspective, physical sex and the exchange of bodily fluids is intended to build a connecting link between the dynamic power of the male, and the reflective power of the female -- and if the two use this connecting link to manifest higher reality of mind and spirituality -- and ultimately union with self and God -- then great gains can be accomplished -- not only in the present life, but over the course of many lives. The reflective power of woman not only connects intuitively into the causal realms that enable her to utilize what is called women's intuition, but she also has a much better connection with the past -- which is why more women than men see and believe in reincarnation. When all people meet, it is to resume the karma (good or bad) from their past. In the case of husband and wife, their past takes on far greater dynamics. Which means that because the male/female relationship of the past is re-manifest in the present, the woman has the greater ability to also re-manifest the essence of the mind/spirit accomplishments that the two have brought about over the course of their past lives together. The male, who is more linear, outward, and future positioned, can then utilize this past in conjunction with intuitive-causal capacity that is re-manifest by the woman, and better direct their lives in TheWay -- wherein, the two are able to continue to make greater gains -- gains that transcend future lives.

From the perspective of the Laws of the Universe, when the sex centers of man/woman are connected through sexual interaction (exchange of body fluids), then the two are husband/wife at a primary initial level. With the exchange of bodily fluids, a permanent connection is established between male/female on an etheric-causal level of being. When a woman is a virgin, she maintains a dynamic relationship with her father. When she has sex, the relationship with her father is drastically lessened, and a door is opened to her sexual partner where the dynamic power of the male is channeled into her -- and on an etheric level, this can be compared to the flow of electricity between the two poles. Thus, she becomes the male's dependent where vital life-force is channeled into her on an etheric level, and she becomes a recipient of this channeled energy that carries with it his mental impressions. A man provides, and a woman grows -- and what is accomplished with this exchange of vital life-force is more in the hands of the woman once the interaction is effected. If she has sex with another male, then a separate personality is carved out within her that responds to that other male -- and it can then be said that two people are dwelling within the same body/mind -- each being fed by their connection to the corresponding male.

The problems are created because people are far more dynamic and far-reaching than is understood by our present-day science and culture. The division is created and maintained because each of the males themselves manifest a unique vibratory essence -- i.e., each of the males most likely share a past over the course of multiple lives with the woman -- and this shared-past re-manifests to a degree and is totally separate than the experiences with any one else. The result is that separate personalities are carved out within the woman (and to some degree this is also true with the man), and these two women within the one (woman) have separate needs and desires. The problem is that our culture looks only upon the body -- science does not comprehend all that they have come to know -- and psychology is in denial with respect to each persons more distant past that they (the psychologist) does not possess the depth to even begin to deal with. Now in the case of the woman at the well who had five husbands, Yeshua observed five separate women dwelling within the one who was each reflecting and the recipient of the influx of vital life-force from five separate men -- and because of the division, none could be married in the higher reality of the meaning of Marriage (see The Divine Marriage ).

Because each of these personalities within the body of the one women have sexual and other appetites that is different than the others, they are each drawn to different men and different circumstances of life. Marriage with one man, therefore, becomes very difficult. Moreover, even if the man wanted to, it would be very difficult to bond to such a woman because being polluted in body and mind (see Know Thyself ), the woman cannot reflect the one man because of her own division of selves and the fact that she has the influx of the impressions and vibratory frequencies of a multitude of men. Further, the man can't bond because she can't return to him the vital life-force at the level of the breasts (see Polarized Positive At The Breast ) -- which is where the man is polarized negative in relation to the woman's positive polarity -- and it is this return of energy/vital life-force that he craves in the manner that an infant craves mother's milk. And once the higher dynamics of life is understood, this is the reason why men are so possessed and controlled by the pursuit of woman's breasts. It is not the physical -- but rather, the nourishment of the mental/spiritual energy that men crave that they are lacking and must be received from woman. And because they lack a soul-mate, and hunger for this energy that they can't find in one women, they seek a multitude of women -- most of whom cannot give the man what he craves and needs. The man who cannot bond, becomes unfaithful because the relationship lack the higher dynamics of a genuine marriage where the woman nourishes the man with the return at breast-level of vital life-force. So when the woman then blames her cheating good for nothing spouse -- the problem being at least 50% her fault -- she brings karma and judgment upon herself. This manifests within her a negative polarity that further inhibits her from building a more genuine relationship with another man -- which is one of the reasons why second marriages have twice the divorce rate of first marriages. Moreover, the woman makes herself very susceptible to influences from discarnate spirits that manifest in her by virtue of her division and polluted body/mind -- while the man who is anchored to the earth by virtue of the loss of vital life-force that is being dumped into a host of women who live low-level lives, remains (spiritually) confused and disoriented. Thus, our present-day culture breads insanity and animalistic behavior.

To further point out the higher dynamics of a true marriage, it can be noted that among gay males fidelity is usually not required -- in fact, it is often expected that each will have other partners and then return to the primary relationship. Fidelity is not part of the relationship, because higher bonding that constitutes a genuine marriage cannot take place. In the same way that two sperm or two eggs cannot create a child -- and without paired opposite sex centers, the one cannot receive the vital life-force in the same way as a man and woman who are each half of the whole -- the vital life-force cannot be raised up and returned at the level of the breasts. Quoting the article on The Divine Marriage :

The Bible continually warns us that the path or the second birth and entrance into the Kingdom is not easy. The strife of the inner war within ourselves as embodied in the symbols of Armageddon is seen in the words: “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22 NKJ). Thus, in the same way that a woman travails in labor to bring a child into this world, we must ourselves endure the “…many tribulations” of spiritual labor to be born into the Kingdom of God. Since the Kingdom is within us, and Armageddon is therefore not an historical event -- but more factually, a spiritual event in the life of the disciple in search of Truth -- we must then totally re-evaluate everything we think we know about both the Gospel Message, and the life we are presently living. In fully comprehending these biblical statements in relation to the whole purpose of the teachings of The Way, let us again examine the definitive statement which conveys to us the very essence of the Gospel -- and especially the Revelation of John: “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie” (Rev 22:14-15 NKJ).

If the text of the Revelation represented the end of the world, as is commonly believed by the majority of Christians today, then why are those who remain outside the city portrayed as “dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie”? Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal tribulation described as the ”pangs of birth”, as he endeavors to overcome his own lower carnal nature through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the flesh, in order that he can possess the Knowledge of the fruit of the Tree of Life, transcend the natural barriers of this world, and “enter through the gates into the city”. What people today generally fail to realize, is that the environment necessary to bring about this next stage of birth, is via a genuine marriage between a man and a woman who together are seeking the Kingdom of God within them. Further, in the same way that a child is born from the joining of the physical essence of man and woman during sexual intercourse, the child of truth is born through the merging of the minds of a man and a woman in a genuine spiritual marriage -- i.e., with neither dominant, and both harmonized together in a state of Oneness.

God is not the Supreme jokester of the universe. He did not give you a physical body that was moved and controlled by what we call sensual desires, and expect you to build mental dams that cut off the very force of life that flows through you. Neither did God place you in this three-dimensional world and limit your perception of your true spiritual reality to see if you will abstain from interacting with life on a physical level.

Contrary to what many religions professed, this world is not the realm of evil as was often portrayed. In fact, this world is not only the means by which the children of God mature to perfection, but enables the soul to develop his lower nature. What we are presented, then, in the above philosophical positions where this world is seen as evil -- and even the creation of a lesser god -- is the typical thinking of the Gentile philosophers and poets, quasi-Buddhism, Hinduism, as well as the Christian Gnostics who rejected the wisdom of the Essene-Ebionites. Yet, there is another dimension to the controversy. The Hebrew holy men and women were able to see beyond the limitations of the other religions, and perceive that in the same way that man is incomplete without woman, the pre-existent soul is incomplete without the (physical) being that we are when we enter into this realm. Moreover, going one step further, because of the manner in which the minds of men and women are polarized -- the male positive and dynamic at the genitals, and the female positive and dynamic at the heart-breast -- the Hebrew holy man realized that in nature it could be said that woman existed at a higher level than did her male counterpart, and thus was in her life often closer to God. In the struggle of man's return to Eden, we must recognize that we are imbued with the Divine Pattern of male and female in order to spiritualize and merge the two into One -- thus, through the Power of God raising man/woman to a state of Completion and Perfection.

The concept expressed in Hebrew Mysticism that woman exists on a higher plane than her male counterpart does not mean that women are better, or more spiritual -- but in the same way that women are weaker physically, the polarity of their mind enables them to take what is base, and express it in a more elevated manner than their male counterparts. What this equates to is the reality that weakness in one area always manifests as strength in another.

Women polarized positive at breasts: What this means is that while men are easily controlled by the often unmanageable flow of vital (sexual) life-force that flows from their genital regions, women, on the other hand, are polarized opposite in the genitals, and thus are able to exert a greater amount of control with respect to their sexuality. On the other hand, women's breasts which, unlike the animal kingdom are perpetually enlarged because her body serves a higher purpose than just providing nourishment for infants, is polarized positive in this area of mind. This positive polarization is often seen as being over emotional, sensitive, and much more feeling than her male counterpart who perceives life through the vision of linear mathematical logic. Thus, the male is polarized negative at that level of mind that corresponds to the breast, in order to receive this higher and more refined vital life-force back from his wife -- thereby creating a circle between them that initiates mental/spiritual development and the birth of the child of Truth within the two that are One.

Look around you at the world and you will observe the male's absolute fixation on women's breasts. Why? Not because of their desire to nurse as some of our psychologists have reasoned -- but rather, because they possess an absolute need for the vital life-force energy from that region of mind where women are polarized positive. The problem is that because they fail to comprehend the Divine Pattern, and do not realize that they can only receive this vital life-force from a wife in a genuine marriage -- and most women whose thinking and lifestyle have been molded by our culture and modern society are (sexually) polluted and cannot give them the mental/spiritual nourishment that they (men) crave, they continually look to other women in search of what they can only receive from just one who is their genuine wife.

The problem is twofold -- i.e., neither the men nor the women are able to fulfill the biological, mental and spiritual needs of their respective spouse/partner, so they look to others instead of developing the depth of the relationship between themselves. Men are constantly looking as other women, and are therefore expelling their vital life-force. Their female partners dress provocatively so as to be seen as sexual objects -- flirt with other men so they can feel the energy within them stir and move their positively charged (sexual) centers -- and work outside the home in their endeavor to be with others, acquire materialistic things, and maintain a state of independence from their spouses. While this may be a marriage in the eyes of this world or the church, it is not genuine in the spiritual meaning of the marriage relationship where the two become One Flesh!

Carnal man is literally staving for the higher reality and vital-life force that he craves. Woman feels incomplete -- as if she is deprived of sex and fulfillment -- because she cannot raise up and release the energy within herself. The problem is not only her own inability to raise up this energy passed on to her by males, but there are no males who are able to receive it from her. She therefore feels unsatisfied, discontent, and ungratified in her life.

Some women feel that they will achieve the satisfaction they desire by going out to work -- being independent -- and making their way in the business world. But this is not the solution. The problem is that she is incomplete -- and even when she attempts to enter into a relationship with a man, in time her incompleteness will return. She craves to express herself -- to strive for higher meaning -- to feel complete -- but because of her inability to enter into a Genuine Marriage where she can raise herself up to new spiritual heights, she is destined to remain discontent and incomplete.

The man, on the other hand, craves what only a genuine wife can give him. Being polarized negative at that part of the mind associated with the chest, he feels a great void in his life that he falsely interprets as a lack of sex. He therefore seeks out many women in search of what he can receive from only one. He often is addicted to pornography and nudity -- intoxicated with the naked female form, and especially the breasts -- ever searching for what he cannot have and possess -- bound to the elemental things of this world through the unquenchable appetite of his senses.

The Law Of Grace

While it must be realized that no one reading these words can change their present condition because their past is already behind them, they can work to make the best of their circumstances of life. When we embrace the mindset of the prodigal son -- and repent through a change of mind and direction -- then we will be the recipient of Grace: "'I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants"' (Luke 15:18-19 NKJ). Having become a willing participant in our present Culture of Destruction, most of us presently find ourselves with spiritually polluted body-minds that are swayed too and fro by an endless flow of impressions flowing into our consciousness from a multitude of psychic external sources. From a biblical perspective, we are possessed by a legion of discarnate influences -- i.e., "Then He asked him, What is your name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion; for we are many... Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion, because many demons had entered him" (Mark 5:9; Luke 8:30 NKJ). Men and women are unfaithful to their spouses -- kill because the voice in their head tells them to do so -- preaches doctrines of error in churches where these discarnate influences speak in tongues and teach others that God's Law has been done away with and believers are free to live in sin -- and these same influences which are manifest in the polluted minds and bodies of the multitudes attempt to destroy all standards of morality and higher reality in the life of the individual -- embracing the philosophy of liberalism from all accountability to standards of behavior that gives the person a license to define every aspect of life from the perspective of momentary carnal appetites and desires.

Thus, most men and women who were willing participants in the Culture of Destruction, find themselves in physical body-vessels that divide them in every conceivable manner -- the sounding-board of colliding impressions and meaningless thoughts that is called race mind -- in a life where they are literally controlled and consumed by the baser forces of nature. And having acknowledged the fruit of their cultural ways and mindset, the man and woman must travel the path of healing and transformation together.

By approaching the (marriage) union consciously, and knowing the psychic and etheric cause of the problems that brings about the condition of race mind and the hell of uncontrollable meaningless thoughts and impressions, the man/woman can begin to capture the thoughts and desires and attempt to merge the personalities -- or at least begin to break down the walls that divide. In the same way that the soul is the cumulative result and balance of all the personalities of all the lives that the soul has ever lived (see http://BeingOfLight.com ), the person who is able to consciously step back and observe the interactions of life -- almost creating a double image of life in the mind -- is able to also begin to observe the changing of personalities, and is able to begin to communicate and interact with them in the manner of a multitude who dwell under one roof. This is easier from a male perspective because one can slow down the flow of vital life-force in the manner of a leakage, easier than a woman can deal with the barrage of impressions from a man (or multitude of men) that she is no longer physically with.

You are right -- i.e., you should have been told the real facts of life when you were young. But there is the power of Grace that can be invoked in your life. If you say to yourself: What kind of garbage nonsense is this! Then you are in denial, and you slam the door to the Power of Grace. A woman who occasionally returns to the author's forum has this problem -- i.e., while she complains of being influenced by external sources, she is in denial with respect to the fact that her past sexual encounters has been the cause. If on the other hand, you recognize that you are responsible for the circumstances of your life -- and you not only chose the life you are presently living, but it is also your fault that you were swayed by our culture -- especially when you made excuses for yourself by agreeing with those who told you that the Bible was written by a bunch of sexist narrow-minded men who sought to enslave the free expression of women and inhibit the free enjoyment of sex -- and instead of making excuses, you do what you can to help others understand the sacredness of sex and the dynamic mental/spiritual power that it can bring into the lives of a husband and wife, then you will find the Power of Grace moving in your life to whatever extent you can embrace it by working to make positive amends and change. What it all boils down to is this: What are you doing to help others understand the consequences that you knew nothing about?

From A Religious Perspective

We Condemn Our Own Beliefs In Others

It used to amaze me when Jews condemned the Essenes because they (the Essenes) were perceived to have embraced what is called Persian Dualism. And yet, in the very image of the Star of David we can observe the reality of a heavenly triad in harmony with an earthy triad -- with the harmony of the Dualistic Forces of Creation in the balance -- and yet the Jews unknowingly condemn the Essenes because they possessed a higher understanding of these symbols that all Jews openly espouse. And in like manner, many Christian pastors today preach the evils of wearing such symbols as the Yin and Yang, saying that it is un-Christian. The appalling ignorance (unknowing) of these people brings to mind the quotation of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, when he wrote: “It is a thing equally deplorable and dangerous, that there are as many creeds as opinions among men, as many doctrines as inclinations, and as many sources of blasphemy as there are faults among us; because we make creeds arbitrarily, and explain them as arbitrarily. The Homoousion is rejected, and received, and explained away by successive synods. The partial or total resemblance of the Father and of the Son is a subject of dispute for these unhappy times. Every year, nay, every moon, we make new creeds to describe invisible mysteries. We repent of what we have done, we defend those who repent, we anathematize those who we defended. We condemn either the doctrine of others in ourselves, or our own in that of others; and, reciprocally tearing one another to pieces, we have been the cause of each other's ruin” (Quoted by E.Gibbon; The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire).

The Homoousion is of course the doctrine of the Trinity -- and perhaps one of the keys to understanding the higher Mysteries of God is seen in the words: "...We condemn either the doctrine of others in ourselves, or our own in that of others; and, reciprocally tearing one another to pieces, we have been the cause of each other's ruin”

Once understood, what is known as Persian Dualism, as well as the Yin and Yang, is in reality nothing more than the doctrine of the Trinity expressed in a slightly different variation -- and this is also true of the Star of David which not only hangs in nearly every synagogue the world over, but is often warn around the neck of many Jews. And yet, most of the people who either embrace these symbols -- as well as those who champion the Trinity -- all fall into the proverbial trap portrayed by Bishop Hilary when they condemn their own doctrine in that of others! And why do they condemn? Because the environment of their physical body/vessel has so limited their potential of mind -- to approximately 10% -- that they are literally blind to their own higher soul and spiritual realities. So in their condemnation of their own misunderstood doctrines of belief in others, their judgments and condemnations become their limitation in their search for truth.

What is the meaning of the Star of David? Why did the Essenes embrace what is called Persian Dualism? Was it Persian Dualism, or merely the portrayal of biblical and universal truths that are known to men of wisdom the world over from ancient times? What great truth is portrayed in the symbol of the Yin and Yang? Further, if we understand the original meaning of the symbol of the Cross, then we must recognize that this same symbol is hanging in nearly every Christian Church the world over. And that few who embrace these symbols are able to perceive their own foundation of beliefs in those they condemn, is merely proof of Hilary's words: "...We condemn either the doctrine of others in ourselves, or our own in that of others; and, reciprocally tearing one another to pieces, we have been the cause of each other's ruin”

Let us pose the question: If there is ancient wisdom portrayed in what is known as Persian Dualism, what do symbols such as the Star of David, the Yin and Yang, and even the Cross of Christ convey to us about the the higher spiritual reality surrounding these symbols used the world over? Each, in their own way, presents to us the reality of spiritual harmony and perfection -- and if we were to paint a picture of what these symbols portray in the lives of most people, we would have to paint a picture of mass chaos and confusion. What I am saying is that if each of us were to get our lives together and arise to the highest level of our own respective religions and philosophies, that our world of chaos and confusion would be reformed and would resemble the higher reality portrayed in the symbol elements of the Yin and Yang, Star of David, and even the Cross of Christ. And while the Star of David represents a much fuller and complete picture of this higher reality, it remains true that what we call Persian Dualism is merely the portrayal of the Two Great Universal Forces which are present throughout every aspect of Creation -- and it is the Third Force/Element of Mind that brings the two into harmony as portrayed in the Yin and Yang, as well as the original meaning of the Cross.

Because all things bear the DNA of the Divine Pattern of Creation (see The Divine Marriage), this means that every aspect of Creation is imbued with the attributes of Creator-God. So on one level when the scriptures convey to us the reality of the dynamic forces of male/female in the words: "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) -- this same pattern of male and female opposites can be demonstrated throughout every aspect of Creation. And while in the symbol of the Yin and Yang these opposites are easily discernable, we can observe the division in worlds as portrayed in the symbol of the Cross in the words: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen 1:1 KJV) -- where the division between the upper and lower has been crucified, overcome and negated. Thus, in the same way that the division between heaven and earth must be overcome within us, this ultimate reality of division overcome is portrayed in the very first words reportedly spoken by man where it is conveyed: "And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (Gen 2:23-24 KJV).

The Incomprehensible

Mysteries of God!

This web page began as a reply to a question about the difference between the Son of God/Logos and the historical Yeshua as presented on the Ebionite web site. But if I were to simply reply, there was an excellent chance that what I wrote would be incomprehensible to the person who asked the question. Why? The answer goes to the very heart of why Paul warned the baptized and committed believers at Corinth that he could not convey to them the higher truths of the Gospel which is often referred to as the Mysteries of God, and confessed that while he was among them he was only able to speak of “Jesus Christ, and him crucified” (1 Cor 2:2 KJV) -- which Paul referred to as the "milk" of the Gospel, rather than the "solid food" that can only be comprehended by those who were spiritually mature (1 Cor 3:2). And what we are presented in these often ignored and profound words of Paul, is the very cause of not only the source of all religious differences the world over, but also the reason for the total ineffectiveness of all our secular and non-secular educational systems, colleges and universities -- and their inability to teach and enlighten the students and all people on a world-wide basis as to the very truths and knowledge that is necessary to comprehend virtually anything of value throughout every aspect of life itself.

The problem is that few people comprehend the far-reaching warning of Paul when he attempted to explain that people who he described as being of a "natural" mindset -- which in chapter three he related to being of a "carnal" state of mind -- and warned that he could not convey to them their own higher spiritual reality and the Mysteries of God because they would perceive and judge his words and teachings to be pure "foolishness" and utter nonsense: "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Cor 2:14 KJV). So what this means is that everything that we read in the pages of the Bible and other scriptures is elementary -- i.e., milk for people of an immature mind. And it is therefore necessary for the authors of the Bible to convey sacred truths and the Mysteries of God in a series of allegorical forms and symbols that begin to deepen the mind of the reader to the incomprehensible truths that it is impossible to convey in a straightforward and literal manner. In the words of Clement of Alexandria: “For the Divine Being cannot be declared as it exists; but as we who are lettered in the flesh were able to listen”.

In his Epistle to these believing and confirmed Christians at Corinth who Paul describes as “...that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor 1:5-8 NAS). And if we pose the question: What Christian today has been taught by a man of the vision and insight of the person known as the Apostle Paul? And yet Paul states that he could not do what the vast majority of both Jewish and Christian clergy do today -- i.e., convey to the people the true spiritual meaning of the Gospel that Yeshua taught. Why? Why could Paul not convey to those people he taught in person the great truths that they needed to know? In answer to this question Paul explains that “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, the believers who Paul himself personally taught, could only be taught the “testimony” of Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were not yet spiritual men -- but rather, they were men of flesh and still very much “babes in Christ”. Paul then explains that: “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS). What should be troubling to the modern believer is that Paul openly admits that the baptized and confirmed Christians at Corinth -- people who had received the gifts of the laying on of hands and speaking in tongues -- people who were not taught by preachers and priests, but the Apostle himself -- were not yet able to understand the Mysteries of the Gospel of God because they were yet “babes in Christ”, and had not been made perfect through the consecration of the body and the Anointing of the Mind. And the far-reaching reality that Paul unsuccessfully attempted to convey to both the believes then and now, is seen in his words where he warned that: “the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 KJV).

Once properly understood, what the Apostle is stating is synonymous with the words of the first-century Clement who was himself the disciple of Peter when he wrote: “We remember that our Lord and teacher, as commanding, said to us, guard the mysteries for me, and the sons of my house. Wherefore also he explained to his disciples, privately, the mysteries of the kingdoms of the heavens” (Clementine Homilies). Why was the Mysteries to be guarded and possessed by the few? Because the vast majority of believers were simply not prepared to even begin to envision their own higher spiritual reality. And this incomprehensible reality is further expounded on by Clement of Alexandria when he wrote: “The Lord… allowed us to communicate to those Divine Mysteries, and of that holy light, to those who are able to receive them. He did not certainly disclose to the many what did not belong to the many; but to the few to whom He knew that they belonged, who were capable of receiving and being molded according to them. But Secret things are entrusted to speech, not to writing as in the case with God… And to him who is able secretly to observe what is delivered to him, that which is veiled shall be disclosed as truth; and what is hidden to the many shall appear manifest to the few” (Stromata).

What Paul was stating to the Corinthians was that he could not teach, discuss, or reveal in any manner to them the Mysteries of God -- in that, God's Sacred Secrets cannot be given to profane and carnal minds. What is further demonstrated in this Epistle is that even though a person is a Jew or Christian who accepts Messiah/Christ, repents, and is baptized in the manner of the people at Corinth, this does not make them spiritual -- and neither does this beginning of the walk in The Way denote the second birth spoken of in the Gospel of John (see Rebirth vs Church Doctrine). That Paul could not even speak of the Mysteries to these baptized and committed Christians -- because they were yet of a carnal and natural mindset -- demonstrates that the Apostle held fast to the commandment of Jesus when he said: “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine” (Mt 7:6). Again, the biblical meaning of the term dogs and swine that I have previously provided throughout my writings is defined as those who attempt to embrace Messiah/Christ, but in their thinking and manner of life they remain very much a part of the culture of this world.

Those readers familiar with early Christian history know that during the first three centuries there was great strife between certain groups of believers. Yet, in not understanding the depth of the Apostle Paul's Epistles, modern Christians generally fail to realize the source of this conflict. What is clear in First Corinthians was that there were two classes of Christians: Those who knew only the testimony of “Christ and him crucified”, and those who went beyond the exoteric doctrine of Christ, and learned the Mysteries of God that Paul could not speak openly about. “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect,” writes Paul, “yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory” (1 Cor 2:6-7 KJV).

In these words Paul is warning the believers at Corinth that he can only speak about the Wisdom and Mysteries of God to those who are perfect. Yet, the carnal believer throughout the history of the church has traditional rejected these words of the Apostle. How could he not, when it is realized that natural man only used approximately 10% of his potential of mind, and Paul is making reference to the fact that only those people who are capable of using the other ninety percent of the mind is able to perceive and comprehend what the Bible calls the Mysteries of God. Carnal man who knows virtually nothing of his threefold nature, simply has no means to relate to the soul and spiritual realities that Paul can only hint at in his Epistles. Moreover, contrary to modern Christian doctrine, the Apostle does not say perfect faith -- perfect belief -- or some philosophical idea of perfection by virtue of membership in a religious group. The idea of perfection from a biblical perspective is complete in all its parts -- and because we cling to manmade doctrines, we do not believe that man is capable of this state of perfection, which the Apostle continually speaks of, throughout his writings.

In Paul’s warning to the believers at Corinth, the Apostle then uses a phrase that is found in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the writings of the early Church Fathers, and writes: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (1 Cor 2:9 KJV). This statement is of course fundamental to a Gnostic, or Spiritual Church.

What is written by Paul is no different than what the Church Father Origen (see The Secret Doctrine) stated was the primary difference between the gospel given to the multitudes, and those who were worthy to be in the house with the Lord: “Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field” (Matt 13:36 KJV). In our quest to understand why there were two doctrines, the Bible itself openly declares in the words of Jesus: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand” (Mark 4:11-12 KJV).

Who is permitted to understand a parable? What the Bible tells us is that only a genuine disciple of the Lord in search of Truth. All other believers and non-believers alike are said to be “without” -- or outside the house. In the words of Origen: “I have not yet spoken of the observances of all that is written in the gospel, each one of which contains much doctrine difficult to be understood, not merely by the multitude, but even by certain of the more intelligent, including a very profound explanation of the parables, which Jesus delivered to 'those without' while reserving the exhibition of their full meaning for those who have passed beyond the stage of exoteric teachings, and who came to him privately in the house. And when he comes to understand it, he will admire the reason why some are said to be without, and others in the house”.

What did Yeshua/Jesus mean when he said that the Mysteries of God only belonged to those who were present with him "in the house"? The answer is found in what is perhaps the most important single verse in the Bible -- a verse that contains a profound warning of Yeshua that is ignored by the vast majority of people who read the Bible -- and this ignored warning is in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, and is seen in the words: “Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” (Mark 4:13 KJV). What is being conveyed by Yeshua in these words is that only those who know the true meaning of this parable, can know the meaning to not only all the other parables, but also the Mysteries of God and everything else of any true substance. Why? Because we have a threefold reality that few people whose thinking is of this world is capable of even envisioning. What this means is that while our physical nature is manifest in this three-dimensional realm, our soul nature simultaneously dwells in a parallel realm -- our spiritual nature simultaneously dwells in yet another realm -- and at the very essence of our being is the Kingdom of God that Yeshua taught was within us (Luke 17:20-21). When Yeshua warned that a "divided house" cannot stand, he was making reference to all men who exist in a divided state with respect to their inner soul and spiritual natures.

When Paul warned that men of a "natural" mind would look upon the Mysteries of God as "foolishness", he said this because we are not beings of flesh -- and we are not what we appear to be when we look upon the reflected reality of the body-vessel we presently inhabit in the mirror. And while our true soul and spiritual reality was near impossible to even describe to people who lived 2000 years ago, our modern technology and science has made intelligent speculation more feasible from the perspective of the average person. Quoting the article on Science Proves Religion we are presented with a reality that the vast majority of people are simply not prepared to envision.

The Universe is a Great Mind: In his 1951 textbook on quantum theory, Bohm offered some interesting speculations on the analogies between quantum processes and thought processes, thus carrying further the celebrated statement made by the astronomer James Jeans two decades earlier: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine”; and the statement by astronomer Arthur Eddington: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff”. More recently, cyberneticist David Foster described “an intelligent universe” whose apparent concreteness is generated by cosmic data from an unknowable, organized source. The holographic theory says that: “…our brains mathematically construct hard reality by interpreting frequencies from a dimension transcending time and space. The brain is a hologram, interpreting a holographic universe.”

What is the impact of these findings of modern science? The reality that is being conveyed is that what we perceive as solid physical matter, is being interpreted in this manner because our brains interpret that frequency to make what we see appear concrete. Moreover, what it also means is that we perceive only a fraction of Creation because our brains, which by virtue of the fact of their physical nature, can only detect frequencies that are within the same spectrum. In the same way that in order to be effective, an antenna must possess the physical characteristics that enables it to receive a certain range of the frequencies that the device (radio, TV, wireless phone, etc.) is intended to operate within, our physical mind and bodies are designed to function within a certain spectrum of Creation -- and this is predicated by the fact that our physical nature is composed of the elements that are of this world.

Natural Man Uses Less Than 10% of His Mind: Just as important is the fact that we only use less than ten percent of our potential of mind which corresponds to the ten percent (physical) spectrum of frequencies with which we interact with in this world, because very few of us have ever trained and developed our minds to go beyond this natural organic limitation. Once we begin to comprehend this fact -- and strive to overcome the three-dimensional barrier of this world -- only then can we begin to comprehend the constant biblical assertion that carnal man is blind to higher reality.

That the Bible continually warns the reader that man in his natural organic state of mind neither understands what he sees with his physical eyes -- and perceives only a very limited perception of reality -- is easily confirmed in the above statements by the modern scientist. What this equates to is conformation of the many truths that biblical holy-men and prophets have invariably declared and warned us about with respect to the fact that what we see is not concrete -- and what we see with our physical eyes appears to us as solid matter, only because our physical brains are wired in such a way so as to interpret it in this manner.

Fundamentally this means that what we see when we look out into the world is a very limited perception of reality, and equates to nothing more than the same ten percent of our potential of mind that we are limited to using by nature -- i.e., men and women who use less than ten percent of their potential of mind are only capable of perceiving less than ten percent of the totality of Creation and the world in which they dwell. Yet, to our own demise, we fail to embrace the reality that men such as Martin Luther, Darwin, our many scholars and philosophers throughout the history of the world, the people who teach our children, the political and religious leaders who convey to us their very incomplete and limited religious doctrines, quasi-scientific theories, and philosophies about life, all have failed to overcome the very flaw in human reasoning that caused the Apostle Paul to both condemn the wisdom of this world as foolishness, and warn us that the people of the simple faith do not comprehend the Spiritual Gospel of Messiah/Christ! Yet, we ignore the wisdom of the Apostle, and erroneously believe that man can attain to higher understanding while still using less than ten percent of his potential of mind -- a ten percent that only detects a very limited and suppressed spectrum of the totality of Creation.

While the Concept of Evolution/Involution Contains Truth, Darwinism in Error: One of the primary obstacles in our understanding of both the scriptures and life itself is seen in the fact that we embrace an outdated Darwinist perception of life -- and even people of faith who claim to ardently oppose the Theory of Evolution fail to recognize that in the reinterpretation of the Word by the fourth century Roman Church, even the modern Fundamentalist Christian views both the Bible and life from a quasi-Darwinist perspective that is totally alien to the original teachings of The Way. Thus, in the fourth-century rape and destruction of the true people of the New Covenant, the Church of Constantine not only defiled the teachings of The Way, but molded the thinking of society along a course that naturally gave birth to men such as Darwin and the Atheist Manifesto that pervades our culture today.

The problem is seen in the fact that we have permitted ourselves to become anchored to an erroneous perception of Creation -- and while Darwin and his theory of evolution remains the holy grail of the Atheist and Secular Humanist who are the architects and guardians of our modern-day culture, even the more enlightened scientist readily sees the flaw in this very mechanical and limited perception of life. In the words of Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History: “The old explanation that the fossil record was inadequate is in itself an inadequate explanation.” Why? The fossil record is inadequate because everything that we see and perceive in this realm is directly caused by patterns of force being exerted upon matter from beyond the bounds of this three-dimensional world in which we presently dwell.

Einstein experienced shock when he first came into contact with the new reality of atomic physics, and wrote in his autobiography: “All my attempts to adapt the theoretical foundation of physics to this [new type of] knowledge failed completely. It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere, upon which one could have built”. In much the same fashion, the European physicist Niels Bohr stated that “…The great extension of our experience in recent years has brought to light the insufficiency of our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a consequence, has shaken the foundation on which the customary interpretation of observation was based.” These “…mechanical conceptions” make reference to Darwin and the theory of evolution.

Natural Man Incapable of Comprehending Creation or the Bible: In the first two chapters of Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians the Apostle very clearly teaches that there is the “testimony” of Messiah/Christ that is preached to the multitudes of people, and the “mysteries” of the Gospel that cannot even be contemplated by those believers who have yet to be transformed by the Spirit, and are still of a natural organic state of mind. While this reality was difficult for men such as Martin Luther and Darwin to envision, this is no longer the case in our present time. Luckily, our modern scientific advances have provided us with great insight into understanding what Paul was attempting to convey to the mind of the still carnal believer. Once we are able to comprehend that we are dwelling in a non-mechanical “…holographic universe” that is now being described as being of an intelligent nature -- i.e., and appears to us in every way as "...a great thought" -- only then can we begin to truly understand the universal plight of man that Yeahus/Jesus came to free us from. Further, what the Bible portrays as Satan -- both collectively and as a singular being who opposes the Heavenly Kingdom -- can more appropriately be portrayed as the power or force which bonds and shackles us to this world through the organic physical body/vessels we are presently residing in.

Satan -- Collective Consciousness and Gravity of Mind: If we are to use an analogy or comparison, Satan can thus best be understood as the gravity of mind that holds our thinking to this world. In the same way that gravity keeps our bodies attached to the surface of the earth, the satanic force the Bible warns us of keeps our thoughts attached to the physical. Moreover, because we dwell in an “…intelligent universe” which attempts to fight off all threats to its existence in the manner of our own physical bodies fighting off an invading germ or disease, any time we attempt to move into harmony with our indwelling soul or spirit, the physical world not only inhibits us, but will garner its own forces to overcome us in the manner of the body producing antibodies to combat a virus or foreign microbe. It is for this reason that the Apostle Paul wrote of the war that rages in his flesh that opposes the law of the spirit -- and that all those who are of the flesh will die because they cannot live in accordance with the spirit.

While the modern Christian will passionately and vehemently oppose this statement on the basis of an incomplete understanding of Paul’s doctrine of faith -- i.e., saying, they have received the promise of being saved -- the Apostle very clearly warned that unless the believer begins to do the Will of the Lord, and follow in his footsteps into the Kingdom, then they have neither faith or belief, and they are what the Apostle himself portrays as counterfeit Christians. The problem is that our whole perception of life is built upon a great error. We have permitted ourselves to become imbued with a Darwinist mindset that has alienated us from our very source of being.

The implications of our post-Darwinist, modern emerging scientific view, means that the vision of the world that Yeshua/Jesus taught is correct, and what we perceive with our bodily physical senses is not only in direct relation to the ten percent limitation of mind that we functionally use, but is in fact only an illusion and symbol of man’s higher reality. The problem is that the person who has developed his spiritual abilities that permit him to sense these other parallel realms that are beyond the perception of carnal man – i.e., the spiritual holy man/woman who is often referred to as a mystic -- is in fact the scientist and explorer of the religious world, is generally not listened to by the great masses of people who remain sense bound in their perception of life. Yet, the great truth that we fail to recognize today is the fact that the modern scientist who has evolved his thinking out of the Darwinist dark ages, now shares the plight of the religious visionary/mystic, in that both are equally ignored by those who champion their cause in the world.

Solid Matter Is Just a Vibratory Frequency Our Brains Interpret As Concrete: In a February 1979 Psychology Today interview with brain scientist Karl Pribram, the world which he attempted to describe confirmed the vision witnessed by the Hebrew prophet and confirmed in the Bible: “It isn’t that the world of appearances is wrong; it isn’t that there aren’t objects out there, at one level of reality. It’s that if you penetrate through and look at the universe with a holographic system, you arrive at a different reality, one that can explain things that have hitherto remained scientifically inexplicable: paranormal phenomena… synchronicities, the apparently meaningful coincidence of events”.

What Karl Pribram was attempting to warn us is that the universal voice of the prophet throughout the ages was correct -- that what we perceive as solid objects is not solid at all -- and they appear to us as concrete objects because our physical senses cause them to be seen as being solid. This fact is not only true, but it is conformation that in many instances, those in the past who were condemned as religious heretics, were not the heretics -- but rather, the genuine visionaries who were able to perceive the true depth of both the material world, as well as the religious teachings that enable man to overcome the obstacle which confronts and binds him to this deceptive physical reality.

Now that science has itself evolved beyond the very limited perception of men such as Darwin, it has become possible for us to begin to perceive that what scientist Karl Pribram was attempting to explain with respect to what is continually presented throughout the scriptures, and is very clearly portrayed in the Gospel of Luke: “So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way” (Luke 4:28-30 NKJ). What Jesus did was simply withdraw the presence of his physical body from being able to be detected by the carnal minds of the men who were attempting to kill him -- i.e., he altered the frequency that he emanated -- and simply walked right through the midst of them to safety.

Once we begin to understand this greater reality of Creation that has been revealed to us by the modern scientist, we start to realize that the same obstacle that has existed throughout the ages of the past continues to plague and limit us to this very day. In his Preface to Stalking The Wild Pendulum, by Itzhak Bentov, William A. Tiller, Materials Sciences Department, Stanford University writes: “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”. Yet this fossilized science is still being promoted among our school children -- it remains as the founding principle upon which our culture is based -- it is being used to inhibit both religion and freedom in our present-day culture -- and has greatly limited the ability of man to function in his true multidimensional and spiritual reality.

Looking In The Wrong Direction: In the realization that traditional scientific inquiry can never provide the answers to life, thoughtful physicists in greater number have begun to notice the curious parallels between their own findings and ancient mystical descriptions of reality. These similarities were pointed out in the book, The Tao Of Physics, by Fritjof Capra, and The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav. Zukav’s book takes its title from the Chinese expression for physics, wu li, which he translates as “patterns of organic energy”, and writes: “Bell’s theorem not only suggests that the world is quite different than it seems, it demands it. Something very exciting is happening. Physicists have ‘proved’ rationally that our rational ideas about the world in which we live are profoundly deficient”.

Bell’s theorem, which was proposed in 1964 by J.S. Bell, a physicist working in Switzerland, was first confirmed experimentally in 1972. Physicist Henry Stapp, in a 1975 federal report called it the most “profound discovery of science”. Bell’s theorem succeeds in exhibiting the bizarre nature of the subatomic world. Experiments show that if paired particles which are identical twins in their polarity fly apart, and the polarity of one is changed by an experimenter, the polarity of the other particle changes instantaneously. Even though they appear to us as separate, the particles remain mysteriously connected regardless of the fact that there is no physical connection. The problem is that the mind of man in it’s natural organic state is simply incapable of perceiving the far-reaching ramifications of this great truth -- and even less prepared to comprehend the results of the intertwining connections that are maintained not only between individuals and groups of people, but between the past, the present, and future.

Matter - The Blemish Created by Colliding And Interacting Fields Of Energy: In his book, Urbausteine der Materie, physicist Walter Thirring wrote about matter that modern physics “has put our thinking about the essence of matter in a different context. It has taken our gaze from the visible - the particles - to the underlying entity, the field. The presence of matter is merely a disturbance of the perfect state of the field at that place; something accidental, one could almost say, a ‘blemish’. Accordingly, there are no simple laws describing the forces between elementary particles… Order and symmetry must be sought in the underlying field.”

Stop reading! Do not unconsciously skim over these words of the modern scientist that confront you with a universal reality that if we fail to understand, enslaves each and every person who dwells in this world today! These words represent such a great revelation to the mind of modern man whose cultural mindset totally alienates him from his own true reality, that I believe every reader should ask themselves what this statement by a respected physicist means to them? What is the relationship of these words to your present life? How do they impact what you believe? Once it is understood that our lives are not only controlled, but predestined prior to our birth into this physical world by the combination of interweaving fabric of law, mind and spirit that comprises the makeup of the elements of the field that surrounds us -- acting as a filter that colors both our vision and perceptions of life -- elements that cause us to be either a victim or predator, successful or unsuccessful, lucky, fortunate or a total failure in life -- are all the result of the pattern of organic energy the interacts between a person’s field and every aspect of their lives. Moreover, true change, development and transformation can only be brought about when one begins to alter the source of the events and personal agenda of one’s life that is found embedded in what the scientist describes as the field.

Physical Body Is Created Where Opposing Fields Of Mind Interact: What the physicist is telling you is that your physical body that you observe in the mirror – the physical form that you use to present yourself to the world around you -- is in fact caused by a disturbance in your own, personal field -- and it is this field that you do not see, that causes what is described to be a blemish -- in this realm that we perceive through the eyes that has been formed out of this same blemish -- and thus, our physical senses and reasoning which is founded upon this blemish within the field of our true self, is only capable of perceiving and comprehending from the reality and perspective of the blemish from which is was formed. Again, if what we observe in this world as being concrete, is not really concrete, but merely a frequency that our brain interprets in a concrete manner, then we begin to perceive the means to open the mind the other 90%, which is accomplished when we begin to allow ourselves to develop our resources of mind in order to permit the mind to detect the full spectrum of frequencies that make up the totality of all of Creation. Can we do this? Both the Bible and the holy men and women of the past convey to us that an enlightened vision and understanding of life is not only possible, but it is our eventual destiny. Thus, the problem is seen in the fact that man’s true reality is neither addressed, acknowledged, or acted upon in any intelligent manner by our politically correct culture that controls the heartbeat of society today. From our modern scientific perspective, the Darwinist perception of Creation amounts to little more than junk-science, while the findings of genuine science has become as a cult that is not even discussed in our modern educational systems. To the detriment of our own children, what we teach instead is secular dogma -- anti-religious secular dogma -- that has absolutely no basis in fact.

If we could but for a brief moment gaze at this world from the perspective of higher reality, what we would immediately realize is that what science is learning about Creation today was in fact elementary to the eyes and understanding of the Hebrew-Christian visionary of the past. Thus, the great dilemma: It is one thing through scientific endeavor to become aware that these other dimensions exist, and become cognizant of the impact they have upon this world -- and still quite another to move in and out and explore these other realms of existence. Moreover, all these scientific theories that we have newly discovered today, is not new at all -- and have been well established in the scriptures and the writings of the prophets and visionaries since the dawn of time. How can this be, you will ask? Simple! If we are to even begin to come to terms with our own higher reality and purpose of life, it is absolutely important for us to recognize the fact that man does not need a technically advanced society in order to explore the realms of Higher Mind -- i.e., he only needs his mind -- then it will also be realized that our world of modern technology can in fact be detrimental to our own development, because it has the ability to greatly distract man in his search for the answers to Life. What this ultimately means is that the wisdom of the ancients could very well be superior to the modern philosophy that our universities teach today. In fact, if man could see the wonders of Creation clearly, he would quickly realize that the supposed conflict between science and religion is superficial, and is nothing more than the result of ignorance with regard to both the true nature of religion and scientific fact.

When astronomer James Jeans proclaimed that: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine” -- we should have realized that the ancient men of wisdom did not need our modern-day technological advances to explore a universe that is a “great thought”, they only needed to understand the laws and conditions that limited their own minds from interacting with the Higher Intelligence that put the universe in place! It should be reasonable to every reader that the means by which we explore the “great thought” of Creation, is to use our own thought and mind as a vehicle in which to travel beyond this world of physical appearances.

The true spiritual Hebrew and Christian visionaries of the past have always acknowledged the validity of the objects that appear to our senses as being of a physical nature -- i.e., no one is denying that what we perceive with our physical eyes as being concrete to the senses does indeed exist -- but they also assert that there is a good deal more than what we see -- and modern science has progressed to the degree where it can now affirm this universal religious position. In the words of Einstein: “We may therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense… There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality” (quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary Physics).

Remembering that Paul warned that the Mysteries of God are beyond human comprehension, and would be viewed as "foolishness" by the people of this world who are of a "natural" mind, the reality of life is that we exist because God is thinking not only us, but all that exists. Our reality is perhaps best portrayed in the words of the scriptures: "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'" (Acts 17:24-28 NKJ).

What is the meaning of these words? An interesting observation is made in the Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Bible Commentary for these verses: "[For in him we live, and move, and have our being], [kai (grk 2532) esmen (grk 2070)]-- more simply, `live, and move, and exist. ' This means, not merely (as Meyer explains it), `Without Him we have no life, nor that motion which every inanimate nature displays, nor even existence itself: ' it means that God is the living immanent Principle of all these in men. It will be observed that the words, "in Him we live, and move, and exist," constitute in themselves a descending series; but viewed in relation to the speaker's purpose, they have (as Lechler notices) all the force of an ascending climax. Life, it is true, is more than motion, and motion more than bare being; but the apostle's thought is, `Without God-- isolated and apart from God-- we should have no life; consequently, no motion; and so, no existence. ' [As certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.] This is the first half of the fifth line, word for word, of an astronomical poem of Aratus, a Greek countryman of the apostle's 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; but the truth which it expresses the apostle turns to his own purpose-- to teach a pure, personal, spiritual Theism."
While the Bible Commentary may relate these words of the Apostle and the concept to Pantheism, higher reality proves the words of the Apostle that "...in Him we live and move and have our being... 'For we are also His offspring.'"

Why? Because what we see with our physical eyes is a mere blemish in the field. In the words of the scientest: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine... The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff... “an intelligent universe” whose apparent concreteness is generated by cosmic data from an unknowable, organized source -- a hologram that causes “…our brains to mathematically construct hard reality by interpreting frequencies from a dimension transcending time and space. The brain is a hologram, interpreting a holographic universe.”

In an honest appraisal of the scriptures the Rev. Charles Spurgeon wrote in his autobiography: “The system of truth revealed in the Scriptures is not simply one straight line, but two; and no man will ever get a right view of the gospel until he knows how to look at the two lines at once.... Two truths cannot be contradictory to each other... and it is only my folly that leads me to imagine that these two truths can ever contradict each other” (Charles H. Spurgeon, Autobiography Vol. 1: The Early Years. pp. 173, 174).

Rev. Spurgeon could not bring the two lines of Gospel Truth together -- speaking of them as his “folly” to even imagine that two of God's teachings could contradict each other. Yet, Rev. Spurgeon makes an astute and honest observation that, to their own demise, few Jews and Christians throughout history have been willing to admit. It is absolutely necessary for us to come to terms with the fact that truth is not only paradoxical, but that in our natural-carnal state, we are unable to bring these paradoxes together. In fact, this wide-eyed perception of reality is so important, that we can never progress beyond the very limited point we are presently at, until we realize this great truth. Why? Because it is in the realization of what Spurgeon calls his ”folly” that we begin to open our minds to the reality that exists beyond the physical barrier of this world.

What Rev. Spurgeon failed to understand is that this same dilemma has plagued mankind since the very dawn of time itself. The Bible, as with all of life, literally exists in a sea of paradoxes -- paradoxes that on the surface appear to oppose each other because we cannot harmonize and balance the two opposing truths -- and these two opposing lines are consciously built into the text of the scriptures. Moreover, from his and the perspective of the Christian world, the two lines of truth that Rev. Spurgeon writes about can never be resolved, because he/they are missing the third element to the equation. It is the presence of this third great truth -- the one that brings the two conflicting and contradicting lines together into an abiding harmony and oneness -- and the means to perceive it, that we must strive to embrace in our lives if we are to confront the root cause of our own limitations. Thus, Rev. Spurgeon perceived the presence of the Key of Knowledge in its opposite polarities (positive/negative, male/female), but lacked the third element to the equation that unlocked the Mysteries of God that had the power to harmonize and merge the many paradoxes of both the Bible and Creation itself.

Because all of Creation has been formed in the Mind of God out of the very DNA of its Source -- the Divine Pattern of which is presented in the words: "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) -- the more we begin to open our eyes and mind, the more we start to understand that all of Creation exists within the Divine Pattern of Duality -- i.e., male/female, light,dark, day/night, winter/summer, positive/negative. And once it is understood that all division exists as male/female polarities in relation to each other (see The Divine Marriage), then one can begin to embrace our own higher paradoxical reality. And when Adam (Man) expressed the need to merge the divided male/female (Adam/Eve) into "one flesh", was this any different than the teachings of Yeshua/Jesus that is found in many of the ancient texts, as presented in The Second Epistle of Clement where he writes: “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’”.

The later Church of Rome failed to comprehend the far-reaching reality of these words, because they were not only carnal, but of a heathen mind. Where the Church was very much like the carnal Jews who expected the Kingdom to come upon the earth -- and judged the validity of the Messiah/Christ by his ability to inaugurate the Kingdom -- both the carnal Jews and Christians failed to perceive the inner meaning of the scriptures and Yeshua's words when asked about the Kingdom: "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21 NKJ). One of the realities of Creation that the carnal mind has great difficulty in comprehending is the reality of an inner world -- inner dimensions of consciousness -- inner parallel realms -- and ultimately, the Kingdom of God which exists at the very core and essence of our being. The idea that the movement of the Laws would create inner barriers that divided and segmented our mind and being, is simply incomprehensible to the average person. And yet, Yeshua not only said that the Kingdom of God would never come upon the earth in the manner that carnal men predict and look for it, but that our entrance into the Kingdom was contingent upon our overcoming our own outer divided natures. In the above teachings with respect to the coming of the Kingdom, the reply was: "'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”. So what this indicates is that our physical self not only has a divided nature, but that we have an inner and outer, and a divided male and female natures that must be made "one flesh" in order for the Kingdom to come within us.

It is of note that the Gospel of Thomas begins with the statement: "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." And the very first saying that follows this statement deals with the reality of the inner Kingdom: "Jesus said, If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. 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."

So men of the flesh who perceive only the illusion of this world -- i.e., the "blemish... created by colliding fields" -- fail to comprehend that everything they see is a symbol and form (a living allegory) of the higher reality they are unable to perceive. They fail to comprehend that within their own physical consciousness there is a segment and division of personalities as portrayed in the teachings of Yeshua as to when the Kingdom would come. Further, they fail to comprehend that this division of powers and the multitude of personalities that must be united within the mind of the disciple in search of the inner Kingdom, is portrayed in the scriptures as a multitude of people, animals, geographical places, and what appears to be historical accounts. They have not idea that the scriptures are written in such a manner that they can be turned within as the Key of Knowledge that opens the inner door to the Kingdom. In the words of the Church Father Origen: “It is sufficient however, to represent in the style of a historic narrative what is intended to convey a secret meaning in the garb of history, that those who have the capacity may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject.” And with regard to what would otherwise be interpreted as historical symbols and events that would appear to us as the knowledge of superficial episodes of the past, Origen writes: “I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142). Which is fundamentally the same message at that expressed in the Zohar, a work of Jewish Mysticism where it warns: “The narratives of the doctrine are its cloak. The simple look only on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the doctrine; more they know not. The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.

These great truths are again demonstrated in the words of Moses Maimonedes, one of the most respected of Jewish theologians, historian, and Talmudist, where he writes about the nature of scripture: “Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit”. These same truths are again conveyed to us in the words of the Church Historian Eusebius: “Many were led astray by reading the allegorical contents of the scriptures literally in the method of the Pharisees and Sadducees”. What these symbols truly mean is perhaps best expressed by G.R.S. Mead in his celebrated work, Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, where he explained that, once properly understood, the true meaning of what is “…projected onto the screen…” of the scriptures, “…was in reality a picture of their [man’s] own minds”.

To their own spiritual demise, the vast majority of Christians fail to comprehend what Paul was attempting to convey when he warned that no one can be saved by the works of the Law -- and referred to the letter that killeth. In the words of St. Augustine: “What the apostle says pertains to this problem: 'For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth', that is, when that which is said figuratively is taken as though it were literal, it is understood carnally. Nor can anything more appropriately be called the death of the soul than that condition in which the thing which distinguishes us from beasts, which is the understanding, is subjected to the flesh in the pursuit of the letter. He who follows the letter takes figurative expressions as though they were literal and does not refer the things signified to anything else” (De Doctrina Christiana).

When St. Augustine quotes Paul with regard to the saying “the letter killeth, but the spirit” makes alive, he is making reference to those who read the scriptures literally as historic narratives vs those who perceive the inner meaning of what is written. “Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?” Writes the Apostle Paul to those who want to read the written word literally. “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).

And if we ask the question: Do the Jews know this? Do the Jews know that their Torah and other scriptures are not historical -- but rather, an allegory that conceals hidden truths of the soul and spirit? In the same way that Paul warned that the works of the Torah/Law cannot save a person, the Zohar states the same exact warning: "Thus the tales related in the Torah are simply her outer garments, and woe to the man who regards that outer garb as the Torah itself, for such a man will be deprived of portion in the next world..." (see No Jew Has Ever Read The Torah/Law). And if we ask why the scriptures -- i.e., the written Word of God -- would be composed and written in this manner -- a manner where some would say was intended to deceive -- the answer was provided by Paul who warned that the "natural" mind of man that is limited to 10% of its potential, will look upon the higher realities and Mysteries of God as "foolishness". And with respect to the written word which Paul portrays as the the "milk" intended for "babes in Messiah/Christ", Paul writes: "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 [the duality of] good and evil" (Heb 5:13-14 NIV).

So in the same way that we possess multitude realities and dimensions within ourselves, so too does God possess the multitude of Creation within Himself -- "...for in Him we live and move and have our being... 'For we are also His offspring.'" (Acts 17:24-28 NKJ). And since we have hopefully arrived at the point where we can speculate that all that exists, exists in the Mind of God who has thought all that exists into being -- let us then examine the realities that are portrayed in these words and concepts -- concepts that Paul portrayed as inconceivable from a purely human pespective.

n the Star of David we see the lower triune powers of the earth in harmony with the upper triune powers of the heavens -- and if we consider the upper to be one, and the lower to be one, we then understand that it is the third force of mind that permitted the opposites to be represented in this harmonious and enlightened manner. And that all these symbols are merely the Tree of Life expressed in a different variation -- and that few (religious) people possess the vision and enlightenment necessary to perceive their own beliefs in the doctrines and symbols of others who they condemn -- is the reason why "...we have been the cause of each other's ruin”

Most of the more enlightened people miss the mark as Bob Essene would say, because they fail to relate the symbol of the Star of David and the yin and yang to their own higher reality. By meditating on the glands in the body, you can get them to flood the body with endorphins and feel-good hormones that provides the person with psychic vision and intuition in relation to the vast majority of people. Often, these people can initiate an OBE, and explore an endless array of realms where souls are living out various lessons. But it is not until that person begins to seek to the essence of his being in a threefold manner, that the true enlightenment of a soul such as Yeshua begins to manifest. In the same way that the Star of David has an upper triad in harmony with a lower -- and it is the third force of mind that brings these divided realities into oneness in the manifestation of these forms and symbols that people unknowingly worship and hang around their necks -- because the pattern replicates itself throughout every level of creation, the physical reality itself is comprised of physical, soul/mind and spirit. Which means that when these people meditate and activate their glands (spiritual centers of the body) -- a reality that many call Christ-Consciousness -- this is not the enlightenment and state of Anointing (Messiah/Christ) that is portrayed in the New Covenant scriptures. Because the pattern is replicated throughout every level of Creation, what many call Christ-Consciousness is merely the flood of glandular secretions that brings about a euphoric state of mind that many are fooled into calling a state of enlightenment -- while what they have actually accomplished is to bring about a higher flow of vital life force in the lower triad of the physical in relation to the indwelling spiritual nature that is in a far removed reality from this world. And since the whole of this realm is feminine -- it is not until we begin to create unity with our indwelling spiritual nature, that we can begin to embrace the higher spiritual reality portrayed in the New Testament and the life of Yeshua. And in the same way that the two opposites are a given -- whether in harmony as portrayed in the yin and yang, or chaos and confusion -- the third force that must merge the two into one, is the soul/higher self that is the Being of Light in the NDE (http://BeingOfLight.com ). In fact, those souls who I portray as a small flickering light are those who have never developed a state of harmony between the physical and spiritual natures -- so they exit on a soul level in a lesser state of mind. Whereas, those whose soul/higher selves are seen as a great light of intensity and depth, have physical natures which are in a state of harmony (marriage) with their inner spiritual natures. But in all things, it is the third force of mind that causes the two to exist in either a state of chaos and confusion, or in that which is portrayed in the symbol of the yin and yang. And once we understand this we can begin to perceive that what is known as Persian Dualism is not dualism at all -- but rather, the same exact concept which is foundational to Christianity -- which is the same exact concept that is embraced by Jews in the symbol of the Star of David.

Where the Christians corrupted the doctrine of the Trinity as portrayed by Plato and the Greek poets, is seen in the fact that they failed to comprehend the difference between Yeshua and the indwelling Son of God -- as portrayed on the Ebionite web site (http://Ebionite.com ). In the same way that the symbol of the yin and yang portrays the two in perfect harmony and union (marriage of opposites) -- and the Tree of Life is actually the Tree of Duality in harmony -- the name Yeshua represents that state of mind that merges all the diverse inner realities into One -- and in a manner of speaking, manifests God on earth. And this is why the objective is to become Yeshua -- rather than worshiping an historical man in the manner of the Christians. Thus, the warning in the Apocalypse of Peter: "They will cleave to the name of a dead man, thinking that they will become pure. But they will become greatly defiled and they will fall into a name of error and into the hand of an evil, cunning man and a manifold dogma, and they will be ruled heretically. For some of them will blaspheme the truth and proclaim evil teachings. And they will say evil things against each other... They do business in my word... And there shall be others of those who are outside our number who name themselves bishop and also deacons, as if they have received their authority from God..."

As Howard has pointed out, the above can be related to the teachings in the Shepherd of Hermas

(see http://nazirene.org/shepherd_of_hermas.htm ) where it warns: “And the tower, I asked, what does it mean? This tower, he replied, is the Church. And these virgins, who are they? They are Holy Spirits, and men cannot otherwise be found in the kingdom of God unless these have put their clothing upon them: for if you receive the name only, and do not receive from them the clothing, they are of no advantage to you. For these virgins are the powers of the Son of God. If you bear His name but possess not His power, it will be in vain that you bear His name”.

In understanding what is written, it is most important for us to be aware of the continual message found in the words: “If you bear His name but possess not His power, it will be in vain that you bear His name”. Thus, if you call yourselves Christian, Jew, or the follower of Yeshua/Jesus, but fail to purify and develop your mind and body from the defilements of this world -- and do not possess the true Knowledge of the Spiritual Messiah/Christ -- and have not yourselves inherited the same higher powers of mind that the Son of God promised all his followers would possess -- then “it will be in vain that you bear His name”. And in many respects the literal portrayal and conflict presented in the New Testament is merely the counterfeit Jews of the flesh who observed the Torah outwardly in ritual and tradition, and the Essenes who represented Spiritual Israel who turned the Torah within in the endeavor to manifest the reality of the Star of David in their lives. And while the Jews, Christians, and Muslims of this world bear the names of the Lord, this is in vain because they seek outwardly instead of manifesting the Kingdom within (see http://GateOfEden.com ).

In my life as Jacob -- as well as Matthew and a number of other lives -- I had succeeded in overcoming the division between the person I was in the flesh, and my soul/higher self who is the Being of Light (see http://BeingOfLight.com ). And in like manner, others who are here in this forum at present, have themselves attained to varying levels of soul-oneness in their own past lives. Some of us have in fact been in the same group of seekers over the course of eons -- incarnating in the same group in order to not only assist each other, but also to work as servants of the Most High with respect to His lost sheep who dwell in the darkness of this realm. There are no accidents -- and each of you has therefore been led here by your own soul/higher self in order to gain knowledge and embrace a lifestyle that permits your soul/higher self to more fully manifest in your body so that, like the man who realized his enlightened state in his NDE, you too will know and perceive the mysteries of life without having to physically die. Fortunately, because all of Creation exists within the Divine Pattern, the knowledge that is necessary to overcome the division between you and your soul-self is basically the same as the knowledge and obstacles that the soul-self must utilize in search of your spiritual nature -- the Kingdom -- and ultimately becoming One with the Most High God who is the Source of our being and all there is. So what this means is that the same set of scriptures are relevant on all levels of our being as we overcome our divided self and seek to move into Oneness with our Mother/Father God -- and ultimately the Ancient of Days which the Gospel of the Nazirenes portrays as the All-Parent. And as Tobiah points out that there is nothing but God, as we journey in TheWay and move ever nearer to our Essence of Being, we are actually in the process of removing the limitations that has made us less by virtue of varying stages of divided consciousness.

How do I know this?

By making myself a disciple of Yeshua/Jesus -- and thus living a consecrated life in harmony with the teachings of the Lord and the fulfillment of the Law/Torah within myself (see Ebionite HomePage), I was permitted to enter the Kingdom that Jesus taught is within us (see Gate Of Eden), and therein it was taught to me that those who petition a court of law against another, brings judgment upon themselves. And while the vast majority of people ignore this warning in the scriptures, in spirit I was told to make people aware of the validity of the above warning of the man known as the Apostle Paul. And while many misinformed people who claim to be believers are under the impression that they are saved by Grace, and are therefore not accountable to the Commandments of the Lord, nothing could be further from the truth -- i.e., "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV).

Ebionite means the "poor ones"

.Yeshua said: "Blessed in spirit are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven".

In the same way that Yeshua warned that his genuine disciples will be rejected by the people this world -- and especially those of the Counterfeit religions -- The plight of the True Ebionite followers of Messiah/Christ is perhaps best portrayed by Gibbon when he wrote that they were “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416).

The true followers of Yeshua are neither Jewish or Christian -- they are of the Kingdom, and not of this world! This requirement can then be likened to the words of Yeshua where it is written: "When the Lord was asked by a certain man, when should his kingdom come, he said unto him, when two shall be one and the without as the within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female” From the perspective of the New Covenant and the teachings of TheWay, this can then be interpreted to mean: "When the Lord was asked when should the Kingdom come, he said, when the Inner Kingdom is manifest in the Outer life, the division of heaven and earth overcome, and when the Jew and Christian has been negated, and the Disciple is neither Jew nor Christian -- but One with the Lord"

Who Can Be An Ebionite?

Those who seek Truth over doctrine -- Knowledge over dogma -- Light over darkness -- Spirit over flesh -- who live by the Vow of the Nazirene -- who pick up their own cross and follow in the footsteps of the Master of TheWay -- who live a consecrated life in total dedication to the Lord -- who overcome their lower nature through the process of spiritual transformation -- who turn the Key of Knowledge which is the Law/Torah and other scriptures within them, in the endeavor to travail in the "narrow path" and open the "inner door" as they seek to undergo the next stage of birth in the Kingdom within. An Ebionite does not belong to a synagogue, church, temple or mosque of this world -- because temples of this world being an image and pattern of what is in Heaven, is idolatry -- an Ebionite enters the Inner Kingdom, and worships in the Temple made without hands that is Eternal.

		The Law is Spiritual! Yeshua commanded his disciples to Observe and Fulfill the Law/Torah. Not in the ritualistic manner of the Jews, but in a Spiritual manner by turning the Torah within them in the endeavor to open the Inner Narrow Door to the Kingdom. By doing this, Yeshua became the Lord's Anointed (Messiah/Christ), and One with that Principle known as the Indwelling Son of God.
		The Disciple of the Lord is always a Nazirene -- i.e., the People of the Vow -- a Consecrated and Anointed Chosen One of the Lord who is set apart from the world. Only those who are of the Vow of the Nazirene can know the Mysteries of God and the inner meaning of the Law/Torah that is the Keys of Knowledge that opens the Inner Door to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.
		The path of the Disciple of TheWay is a personal calling for the more mature believer. The Disciple must be willing to make the service to God the paramount and exclusive focus of their life. Such a person must become a person of absolute dedication to the Lord as a Servant in the calling and care of His flock.
		One Teacher and Rabbi in TheWay: In the Purity of the teachings of The Way, there can be no sects -- no opinions -- no manmade doctrines of belief -- no churches which call themselves by a name that separates them from another! In the Purity of the teachings of The Way, there is only One Teacher -- The Messiah -- and all genuine shepherds who are faithful to the Lord are merely guides who point The Way to the Presence of the Son of God. The disciple must therefore learn to apply the Key of Knowledge in their life so they can use it to open the inner "strait gate" to the Kingdom within.
		The Kingdom Must be Entered While Physically Alive: As the Disciple follows in the footsteps of Yeshua and journeys in The Way, they are not only able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven through the "strait gate", but as they continue to develop spiritually, they are able to simultaneously exist both in this world and in the Kingdom at the same time. This is the fulfillment of the Commandment of the Lord to be in the world and not of it!
		The Soul That Evolves to Perfection: Yeshua/Jesus taught that the soul of man evolves to perfection over the course of many lives. The Disciples of TheWay believed in reincarnation? You, therefore, cannot even be considered a true follower of Yeshua/Jesus, and not believe in reincarnation? Click the Lighthouse on the left and learn the answer to this profound and all-important paradoxical question that Jews and Christians today are unable to answer! It will shock you to learn the truth!
		You Must Be Born Again to Enter the Kingdom: Jews and Christians of the simple faith are as a fetus when compared to a Mature Disciple of Messiah/Christ! Are you pro-life? Traditional Church doctrines abort more Christians with respect to entering into Life, than does all the abortion clinics in the world. More Jews and Christians die by walking the Broad-way of Destruction because they cling to manmade doctrines of belief! They fail to embrace the words of Yeshua/Jesus when he commanded: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NIV)
		How Did Yeshua/Jesus Become the Messiah/Christ? The Bible teaches that Jesus was a man who became the Messiah/Christ for the first time at his baptism, and the Son of God at the crucifixion. His disciples believed that Jesus was a man who was in mystical union with the Indwelling Logos/Word. How much of modern Christian dogma which is founded upon Plato's Doctrine of the Trinity is valid in the life of the modern Christian today? You will be shocked to learn the truth!
		Things Christians Never Told Jews About the New Testament Scriptures. Did you know that the New Testament states that G-d did not want the majority of Jews to accept Jesus as the Messiah? Not only the New Testament scriptures, but this fact is also confirmed in the Epistles of Paul, as well as the writings of Clement, the disciple of the Apostle Peter! Why? Because it was known beforehand that many of the Gentiles would be unable to embrace the higher concepts of the teachings of TheWay which came to be called Christianity -- and because the teachings themselves would become defiled and corrupted with Pagan/heathen concepts of religion, Judaism needed to be preserved separate, in order to preserve the bedrock from which truth could once again emerge more easily in the future.
		The Orthodox Corruption of the Scriptures: Was the Bible rewritten? Prof. Nestle writes: "Learned men, so called Correctores were, following the church meeting at Nicea 325 AD, selected by the church authorities to scrutinize the sacred texts and rewrite them in order to correct their meaning in accordance with the views which the church had just sanctioned." To ignore the facts is to alienate oneself from the Living Word of God
		The Gospel of the Nazirenes: What did the Gospels look like before being edited and re-written by the Church of Rome? What were the original beliefs of the first followers of Yeshua? You will be astonished when you read a surviving text of The Gospel of the Nazirenes which was hidden away from the corrupters of the Roman Church. Are you ready for a truly enlightening experience?
		The Secret Doctrine of Christianity: The Original Church was Spiritually Wholistic. It served the needs of the sinner through the milk of the simple faith - the seeker through the revelation of the Minor Mysteries - the Spiritually Mature through Gnostic Revelation. Come and learn the true teachings of Jesus that was taught only to his genuine disciples.
		Lilith - The Demonic Reality Of Feminism: In the Divine Pattern of Creation man and woman are not only equal, but the mental/spiritual level of one polarity directly affects and limits the other. The spiritual ignorance of many religious groups today is directly in proportion to the failure of men and women to interact and move into a state of spiritual harmony and balance.
		Anthology Of Fools - Conflict Of Atheist & Believer: Atheists proclaim the tenets of a science they fail to embrace as apostates. And while the criticize religion and the Bible, they surrender their own gift of reason to contend with blind believers of the simple faith. In rejecting their own science, they are more dead and irrational than the religious people they judge and condemn!

When Prof. John Allegro was quoted as saying that what has been revealed in the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is a great amount of overwhelming evidence that “...may upset a great many basic teachings of the Christian Church. This in turn would greatly upset many Christian Theologians and believers. The heart of the matter is, in fact, the source and originality of Christian doctrine” (August 1966 issue of Harpers Magazine); what he was in fact stating is that, everything that we now know about Christian beginnings demonstrate that the Essene/Ebionites were not the heretics, as they were falsely portrayed by the later Gentile church, but were in fact the body of genuine believers that held fast to the authentic teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and the New Covenant.

The Children of the Light who were the Disciples of TheWay, were neither Christian nor Jew because they were of the Kingdom. This is perhaps best demonstrated in the words of the Apostle Peter as written by his disciple Clement: “Neither, therefore, are the Hebrews condemned on account of their ignorance of Jesus, by reason of Him who has concealed Him, if, doing the things commanded by Moses, they do not hate Him whom they do not know. Neither are those from among the Gentiles condemned, who know not Moses on account of Him who hath concealed him, provided that these also, doing the things spoken by Jesus, do not hate Him whom they do not know. And some will not be profited by calling the teachers lords, but not doing the works of servants. For on this account our Jesus Himself said to one who often called Him Lord, but did none of the things which He prescribed, ‘Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?’ For it is not saying that will profit any one, but doing. By all means, therefore, is there need of good works. Moreover, if any one has been thought worthy to recognize both as preaching one doctrine, that man has been counted rich in God, understanding both the old things as new in time, and the new things as old.”

While Christians and Jews argue endlessly not only with each other, but also among themselves, each has been alienated from the Kingdom by their own creation of manmade doctrines and traditions. And while each is necessary, the above also demonstrates that each is equally in error by virtue of their own blindness.

While the Disciples of TheWay have become well known in their role as Essenes who we now know to be the true bedrock and foundation of what is known today as Christianity, the Essene followers of Yeshua came to be called Ebionites -- of whom the early Christian writer Irenaeus states that they: “...represented Jesus as having not been born of a virgin, but as being the son of Joseph and Mary according to the ordinary course of human generation, while he nevertheless was more righteous, prudent, and wise than other men. Moreover, after his baptism, Christ descended upon him in the form of a dove from the Supreme Ruler, and that then he proclaimed the unknown Father, and performed miracles” (Irenaeus, Bk 1, Ch 26, doctrines of Cerinthus).

On the central theme of the alleged beliefs ascribed to the Ebionites, the early church writer Hippolytus tells us: “They live conformably to the customs of the Jews, alleging that they are justified according to the law, and saying that Jesus was justified by fulfilling the law. And therefore it was, (according to the Ebionaeans,) that (the Savior) was named (the) Christ of God and Jesus, since not one of the rest (of mankind) had observed completely the law. For if even any other had fulfilled the commandments (contained) in the law, he would have been that Christ. And the (Ebionaeans allege) that they themselves also, when in like manner they fulfill (the law), are able to become Christs; for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in a like sense with all the rest of the human family” (Hippolytus; The Refutation of All Heresies, Bk 7, Ch 22, Doctrine of the Ebionaeans).

The Counterfeit Structure of Modern Christianity

The profound long-suspected truth about Christianity became an indisputable fact when Dead Sea Scroll expert and biblical scholar A. Powell Davies expressed the immortal words when he said: “Biblical scholars were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been” (quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls). Worse yet, Edmund Wilson, an expert who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls further raised the question as to what difference it makes if “Jesus... had been trained in the discipline and imbued with the thought of a certain Jewish sect, and that he had learned from it the role that he afterwards lived...” (The Scrolls From The Dead Sea). To the uninformed and unknowing believer, it made all the difference in the world!

At about the same time the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in a cave, a library of early Christian scriptures was uncovered at Nag Hammaddi in upper Egypt. Because of the nature of these writings, our scholars believe that these scriptures belonged to a sect of Gnostic Christians. Yet, the understanding that was engendered from the study of these writings was profound, even from a purely historical perspective. What they learned from the study of these writings again confirmed that the faithful flock had once again for a very long time believed a lie with respect to the first Gentile Christians -- a lie that again had been published by the Church of Constantine. In the words of Prof. Elaine Pagles in her book, The Gnostic Gospels, the condemnation of the early Gnostic Christians by the Roman Church had “political implications”. What she said was that the denunciation of the Gnostic Christians was “crucial to the development of Christianity as an institutional religion. In simplest terms, ideas which bear implications contrary to that development come to be labeled as heresy; ideas which implicitly support it become orthodox”. What this meant was that what is today considered traditional Christian doctrine, was formed in the fourth century for purely political reasons in order to support the Church that the Roman Emperor Constantine authored and founded.

Proof of just how far the Christian Church has deviated from its original spiritual path known as TheWay, is seen in the fact that throughout most of the Christian world today the words mysticism and gnosticism are words more appropriately used to describe heresy and heretics -- and yet, in the words of Dead Sea Scroll expert Prof. John Allegro in is book, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of Christianity, he writes: “It is a fact that the Qumran Library has profoundly affected the study of the Johannine writings and many longheld conceptions have had to be radically revised. No longer can John be regarded as the most Hellenistic of the Evangelists; his gnosticism, and the whole framework of his thought is seen now to spring directly from a Jewish sectarianism rooted in Palestinian soil, and his material recognized as founded in the earliest layers of Gospel traditions.” What these words mean is that such common phrases as faith, belief, born again, and even the manner in which Christians worship, must be radically altered and turned back onto the original course that Yeshua/Jesus ordained, in order for the modern believers to even be considered followers, and inherit the promise of Eternal Life.

The Teachings of TheWay

The teachings of Yeshua/Jesus which are known as TheWay was a purely spiritual religion -- practiced by a purely spiritual people known and Essenes, Nazirenes and Ebionites. These sacred teachings became impure when placed in the hands of the Gentiles, and totally corrupted under Constantine and Pagan Rome.

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).

Most of the features of Ebionite doctrine were anticipated in the teachings of the earlier Qumran sect, as revealed in the Dead Sea Scrolls. They believed in one God and taught that Jesus was the Messiah and was the true "prophet" mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:15. They rejected the Virgin Birth of Jesus, instead holding that he was the natural son of Joseph and Mary. The Ebionites believed Jesus became the Messiah because he obeyed the Jewish Law. They themselves faithfully followed the Law, although they removed what they regarded as interpolations in order to uphold their teachings, which included vegetarianism, holy poverty, ritual ablutions, and the rejection of animal sacrifices. The Ebionites also held Jerusalem in great veneration. (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online)

		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 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!
		Being Of Light: Who are we? What are we? From where have we come? What is our destiny? To the demise of those who read these words, only a handful of people today can answer these all-important crucial questions correctly! The rest dwell under the cloud of unknowing -- and if you think you are the person whose reflection you see in the mirror, then you are a stranger to your true self and have made yourself part of the illusion of this world. With great wisdom Yeshua/Jesus is quoted in The Books of the Savior, also known as Pistis Sophia (Faith-Wisdom): "Do not cease seeking day or night, and do not let yourselves relax until you have found all the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into Pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light."
