Lilith
The
Reality Of Sex Misused
Do
You Believe Yeshua/Jesus?
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!

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her,
Give Me a drink. For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to Him,
How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her,
If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living
water. The woman said to Him, Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his
livestock? Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting
life. The woman said to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to
draw. Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. The woman answered and said,
I have no husband. 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; in that you spoke
truly. The woman said to Him, Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to
worship. Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
(John 4:5-24 NKJ) |

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.
God
Gave Man And Woman Each Other
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).
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".

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 beginning God Created "...man
in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He
created them" (Gen
1:27 NKJ) -- and only those who know and are able to move within the
Divine Pattern of Creation and are able to merge the polarities of
male/female together, and reform the Divine Image within themselves, can
ever know our Creator God. Thus, all counterfeit religious
doctrines and institutions -- all counterfeit philosophies -- all of
man's governments that fail to serve his needs --
all of man's abounding ignorance -- all of man's
sufferings and hardships -- all of man's uncountable number of solutions
that fail to resolve the hunger in his soul or quench his thirst for the
true eternal waters of life -- are all the result of man's inability to
embrace the Divine Pattern of Creation and manifest his own Higher
Reality in his Life. In the same way that man and woman
cannot be understood separately from one another, the very level of true
spiritual success can only be measured and defined by the essence of a
man or woman's relationship to their marriage partner. In
the same way that the very first words of man (Adam) was to make the two
"one flesh",
once it is realized that all of Creation is imprinted with the Divine
Pattern of Male/Female, it is then understood that the objective of life
is to make the divided nature of man One:
"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” |
|
"Sex"
The
Spiritual Sacrament In The Divine Temple
The
Physical Connecting-Substance To Overcome
The
Divided Natures And Eat The Fruit Of The
Tree
Of Life
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
The
Divided Reality Of Male/Female
The
Process Of Re-Birth
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:
|
Sex
centers of men and women paired:
In
accordance with the Divine Pattern of Creation, the sex centers of a man
and a woman are as twin particles that have been paired when the soul,
which is asexual, entered a physical body as one polarity (half) or the
other. What this means is that via the exchange of seamen and bodily
fluids by husband and wife, a conduit is opened through which the thoughts
of each of the individuals are able to mingle. In a Genuine Marriage where
the two become physically and mentally of One Mind, the Seven Spiritual
Centers within each of the two, begin to move in harmony and balance, and
the biblical reality of One Flesh becomes manifest in the lives of the
husband and wife. The seven spiritual centers which are portrayed in
the picture, connect to man's spiritual mind, while the Hebrew/Christian
Mystic has portrayed this inner human reality in the symbolism of The Tree
of Life and its twelve spheres which connect with the soul and higher mind
of man. |
|
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.

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.

The
Portrayal Of
Biblical Authors
As Sexist
Were
They Really Ignorant About Sex?
Were
They Attempting To Inhibit The Sexual Expression Of Women?
Should
The Biblical Prohibitions Apply In Our Present Time?
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).
Creation
The
Great Thought
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.”
The
Paradox Of Reality
And
Individuality
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.
There are
levels, realms and dimensions that exist within the layers of Creation --
and because each subsequent lower level is born out of the division of the
higher, this division must be overcome in order for the lower level to
transcend the barrier between worlds and realms, and know the higher. In the same
way that prior to the separation of Eve, Adam and Eve were one and can be
portrayed in the word Adam/Eve, so too is there a realm at the Absolute
Essence of Creation where God is ONE. And in the same way that
Eve came into being through the separation of the feminine nature from Adam
-- and this reflective nature existed in potential prior to the separation
-- so too did the polarities of Mother/Father God come into Being.
And in the same way that Adam and Eve exist by virtue of the primal
separation of Adam/Eve, so too does the separate Divine Polarities of
Mother/Father God exist as Mother Father God in a realm where they exist in
a Dualistic Presence. And in the same way that you are both
separate from your own higher self, and yet you are intimately connected, so
too does the Divine Polarities of Mother/Father God exist in a separate
realm from the Unbegotten Ancient of Days, and yet these realms are
intimately connected on a deeper level of Being.
Dualism
Misunderstood:
Now where
the Two exist, there is always the Third Force of Creation which is the
balance of the Two -- as is the child the product of its parents.
This Third Force is often referred to as the Logos, Word, or Son of God --
but in the writings of the ancients it was correctly known as the Mind of God. Why Mind?
Because thought is the movement between two paradoxical opposites -- and it
is this Third Force that either merges the two, causes them to be
opposing opposites, and every aspect of mind that would exist between these
two extremes. So in the case of Adam and Eve, the third
force is initially portrayed in the offspring of Cain and Abel who exist in conflict.
One of our
greatest errors in our educational systems today is seen in the attempt to
program the mind of the child -- i.e., force feed it with pre-determined
philosophical theories and foundations of thought which are counterfeit by
virtue of their divided insight -- rather than to stimulate the child
through the development of thought -- thought being that sphere that
merges paradoxical opposites that partisan politically correct philosophers
attempt to deny (see Lilith, The
Demonic Reality Of Feminism). By programming the child's mind, we rob the
child of knowing -- because knowing can only be achieved by contemplating
and merging the third force that marries the paradoxical opposites.
But because of political correctness -- secular philosophy -- and the
censorship of different perspectives -- the mind fails to develop because it
is denied the nourishment of the third force by virtue of the paramount
suppression of necessary impressions and concepts that are required to merge
the paradoxical opposites that partisan and politically correct philosophers
refuse to embrace and admit as being valid to the human experience of life,
mind and spiritual reality. Once this fact is understood, we
would then have to deem our present system of education as being the work of
Satan -- i.e., the false knowledge that alienates the child from the
knowledge of self and ultimately God.
From a
paradoxical perspective, we can say that it is true that God is both
singular and plural. If all of Creation is a Thought in the Mind
of God -- then each of us can be likened to a single Neuron in the Mind of
God -- and while on one level there is nothing but God, on another we exists
as singular aspects of God that is interacting with each other as God
explores all possibilities though us and the lives we seemingly
live. So it is true that God exists in a singular state, and
this Essence of Reality is portrayed in the Book of Daniel in the portrayal
of God as the Ancient of Days. And as God Moved -- Moved within
Himself -- polarities of positive and negative, active/reflective,
male/female came into being. And in the same way that Adam and
Eve were formed from Adam/Eve prior to their separation, because what we
call time and movement exists in a dimension of mind and consciousness --
and while on one level the divided realities of Adam and Eve came into
being, the original reality of Adam/Eve remained at another level of being
-- so too do all things exist in accordance with this pattern of
reality.
Each level
of Creation is brought forth by the division that takes place within the
next higher level, and is projected out onto the screen of Creation into an
infinite number of realities -- each level of being is created by the Law of Three
which is moved by the Law of Seven or Octaves (see Law
of Octaves). So while God remains Singular on one level
which we refer to as the Ancient of Days, in the initial level of division
where the Two Divine Polarities of Creation were brought forth out of the
ONE, that principle known as Mother/Father
God was formed which represents the Two Polarities of the Divine Pattern of
Creation -- and these Divine Polarities can only return to the Essence of a United
Self through the Third Force that is able to merge the Two into One. But because the Third Force is
itself in a negative mode -- existing in an unknowing state because of a
lack of experiential knowledge, the Laws bend as portrayed in the Laws of
Octaves,
causing further division within each aspect of Creation, and each level of
division in the same way creates a subsequent lower world that cannot be
resolved except through the Third Force. So at the Essence
of Creation we have the One -- and the One divides within itself in search
of Knowing Self, and the realm which we call Mother/Father God comes in to
being -- with the balance of Mind between the Great Paradoxical Opposites
being known as the Logos, Word, or Son/Daugher of God. What we
call the division of Heaven/Earth comes into being when the same process
takes place within Father-God (heaven), and Mother-God (earth).
Thus, we see the three spiritual centers or chakras in the lower abdomen
which is the threefold division of Mother God, and the three spiritual
centers in the head which is the threefold division of Father-God -- and
because the original balance is maintained, we have the Son of God in a now
weakened manifestation in the heart or center section which balances
heaven/earth within us -- resulting in the seven chakras or spiritual
centers. In the allegorical portrayal of the scriptures, Enoch
did not die because he was the seventh from Adam -- thus, overcoming his
divided reality. In the original New Covenant scriptures, Yeshua
and his 12 disciples traveled through seven cities before the final stage of
birth as portrayed in the crucifixion account. And as the six once again divide through the same
process of the Law of Three and the Law of
Seven, we see the 12 spheres of
mind that we call the Tree of Life manifest -- and because of the state of
division, this pattern of mind is called the Tree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil -- or the Tree of Duality. But when we add the Powers of
the Left and Right Hands of God to the equation, we can then perceive the
reality of the number 14 present in the life of mankind with respect to the
pattern of the Tree of Life.
Each level
of Creation is brought forth by the Laws of Three and Seven working within
that further divides -- with what we call human intelligence at the level of
144,000, and below this level of division we enter the kingdoms of animal,
vegetable and mineral consciousness. Each subsequent level
cannot know the next higher level that gave birth to it through the process
of division, except through the third force that merges the two into one --
one incremental step at a time in reverse of the original process that
brought all things as we know them into being and existence.
Further, because each of the 12 spheres of mind exist in a inner divided
state -- and each of these inner divided states that are portrayed in the
symbols of tribes and nations are in conflict not only within each other,
but with those areas of mind represented within the 12, man is fundamentally
ignorant of self -- exists in a state of inner and outer conflict -- and
each lower level is alienated and severed from the next higher level by
virtue of the divided self that permeates each person's entire being.
What Yeshua
taught was the active principle of overcoming this division in search of
self by merging each of the lower levels of consciousness by first keeping
and observing the Law, and then walking in TheWay. Every aspect
of Yeshua's teachings are of paramount importance -- and these teachings are
best portrayed in the Gospel of the Nazirenes. And if these
teachings are embraced, as each lower level is merged and made one through
the process of marriage of opposites and transformation, the person is able
to manifest a greater potential of mind as the infinite levels of
paradoxical conflict is overcome through the process of union-marriage
through the third force which makes the two one -- level by level -- step by
step. And in the same way that I often use electricity to
portray the mind, we can in like manner use a magnet to demonstrate this
higher reality. The only difference between a bar of iron and a
magnet, is that in a magnet each of the molecules have been aligned so that
each north/south (positive/negative) is aligned in the same direction.
This is accomplished by passing the bar of iron which exists in a state of
chaos and confusion -- i.e., positive/negative all canceling each other out
through their haphazard positioning (conflict of energy flow) -- through a
strong magnetic/electrical field that forces each molecule to align and
function together.
The vast
majority of people are as the bar of iron because of the mental confusion
that exists within the mind. When you place the 12 spheres of
the Tree of Life within the body, and then divide and move these spheres out
into their infinite lower levels of expression through nature, and you
permit each lower level to exist in a divided state because of ignorance,
confusion and conflict, then you have a physical body/mind that exists as a
bar of iron where each element of the divided state cancels out the
potential of power (of mind ) because each of the molecules which represent
an individual aspect in the lower realities of mind, are in a state of
disarray. Such things as Chiropractic, deep massage, yoga,
polarity and the great variety of holistic healing that are often associated
with the New Age, are intended to restore the flow of vital life-force
through the body mind by aligning the cells of the body. The
problem is that because the pattern of mind is not embraced -- and the
higher knowledge that raises up the third force in the endeavor to merge the
paradoxical opposites at each level is not taught and embraced through the
process of walking in TheWay -- the result of these holistic healings is
basically only on a physical level. The more advanced spiritual
teachers/guides usually immerse their disciples in a threefold wholistic
experience that integrates body, mind and spirit in a constant upward
movement. But to even begin to accomplish this, it is necessary
to change the lifestyle -- rather than attend philosophical lectures of
church programs. All of the person's life must be turned about
as the walk in TheWay -- i.e., every thought captured to Messiah/Christ --
the mind held in constant attunement to higher reality -- and the flesh
(lower nature) must be transformed. What this means is that
Heaven and Earth must be made One through the process of becoming the Son of
Man -- or the Spiritual Offspring that is born from the divided natures of
mankind and returns as the prodigal son to the Most High God.
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
).
Here is a
thought with respect to Howard's excellent post below: In many respects, we
are an inhabiting spirit with respect to the body. We have
the ability to separate ourselves from the body through a series of learned
disciplines. There was a point between conception and birth
where we entered into the body in which we presently are using as a vehicle
in this world -- i.e., the quotation of the Jewish historian Josephus who
had lived among the Essenes, and stated with respect to their beliefs: "For
their doctrine is this, that bodies are corruptible, and that the matter
they are made of is not permanent; but that the souls are immortal, and
continue for ever; and that they came out of the most subtle air, and are
united to their bodies as to prisons, into which they are drawn by a certain
natural enticement; but that when they are set free from the bonds of flesh,
they then, as released from a long bondage, rejoice and mount
upward...".
It is
interesting in one Near Death Experience I read that the author realized
that while he was released from the influence of the body, he knew and
perceived the mysteries of life that the vast majority of people are
ignorant of -- and that he experienced a renewed dumbing down once he
re-entered the physical. And this is a really important fact of
life that only a few religious-spiritual leaders in the world today
comprehend -- i.e., that there are inner levels of being, and our first and
primary objective is to overcome our own state of inner division and
fully manifest our soul/higher self that is not only immortal, but
possess the cumulative experiential memory of all our lives since the
dawn of time itself.
Those few
who possess genuine spiritual knowledge know that the body in which we
presently dwell possess an animal consciousness that controls the life of
most people. The Essene/Ebionites and other such spiritual
communities of seekers live in the manner that they did in order to make the
physical their servant, and permit more of their soul/higher self to
manifest in the body. And while the vast majority of people are
swayed too and fro by every carnal wind and variety of manmade doctrine and
tradition which is founded upon a very fragmentary perception and
understanding of man's true higher reality, the Essene/Ebionites understood
the true depth of Yeshua's words when he warned that a "house
divided cannot stand" -- and they understood that they were the
house -- and they must therefore make their body a fit dwelling place so
that they could become cognizant of not only their true immortal form and
nature, but also the mysteries of life that the person in the NDE realized
that he was aware of when he was out of the body which limits our perception
and understanding of life and ourselves. If we therefore desire
to overcome the error and confusion of this world, all that is necessary is
to make the environment of our body/mind a fit dwelling place for our
soul/higher self to fully manifest in.
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.
In the same
way that we are a inhabiting spirit with respect to the body/mind and
consciousness, and our soul/higher self is an inhabiting spirit with respect
to us, this is not only true as we overcome each subsequent level of our
inner divided nature, but it must also be realized that as we move nearer to
our Essence of Being, we ultimately become our True Self. In the
genealogy of Matthew it demonstrates that prior to his baptism, the
historical Yeshua was one on all three levels of his being -- i.e.,
physical, soul and spirit -- and that having overcome his divided natures,
he was seeking Oneness with the Most High. Examining the
quotations on the Ebionite web site (see http://Ebionite.com
):
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) -- and that Yeshua represented the
“supernatural union
of a man and God. In their eyes, Jesus of Nazareth was a mere mortal, the
legitimate son of Joseph and Mary: but he was the best and wisest of the
human race, selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon earth the
worship of the true and supreme Deity. When he was baptized in the Jordan,
the Christ, the first of the aeons, the Son of God himself, descended on
Jesus in the form of a dove, to inhabit his mind, and direct his actions
during the allotted period of his ministry” (Gibbon;
The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, V.4, P.366).
So in the
same way that we are an inhabiting spirit with respect to the body/mind, and
our soul self is an inhabiting spirit with respect to us, and our indwelling
spiritual nature is an inhabiting spirit with respect to our soul-self,
and in like manner the Holy Spirit is an inhabiting Force to those who have
overcome their threefold division and have begun the final journey in TheWay
-- what we call the Son of God is in like manner an Enlightening Spirit that
descends upon those who attain to the same level as did the historical
Yeshua. And as Tobiah reminds us, at each stage of division
overcome, we are in fact manifesting more of ourselves -- which means
that in the paradox of Creation it can be said that when we stood in the
presence of the historical Yeshua, we were in the Presence of God.
And in the same way that the soul who lived as Yeshua was the first of the
prodigal sons to return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination, what he
accomplished in his own life represents the destiny of each of us -- because
each of us is the brother/sister of Yeshua, and each of us is equally the
Offspring of the One God.
