An Important Article On A Man's Hair And Beard

Quoted from The Truth About Hair

Why Native Americans Kept Their Hair Long
By C. Young

"Each part of the body has highly sensitive work to perform
for the survival and well being of the body as a whole.
The body has a reason for every part of itself." -- C. Young

This data has been hidden from the public since the Vietnam War.

Our culture leads people to believe that hair style is a matter of personal preference, that hair style is a matter of fashion and-or convenience, and that how people wear their hair is simply a cosmetic issue. Back in the Vietnam war however, an entirely different picture emerged, one that has been carefully covered up and hidden from public view.

In the early nineties, Sally (name changed to protect privacy) was married to a licensed psychologist who worked at a VA Medical hospital. He worked with combat veterans with PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Most of them had served in Vietnam.

Sally said, "I remember clearly an evening when my husband came back to our apartment on Doctor’s Circle carrying a thick official looking folder in his hands. Inside were hundreds of pages of certain studies commissioned by the government. He was in shock from the contents. What he read in those documents completely changed his life. From that moment on my conservative middle of the road husband grew his hair and beard and never cut them again. What is more, the VA Medical center let him do it, and other very conservative men in the staff followed his example. As I read the documents, I learned why. It seems that during the Vietnam War, special forces in the war department had sent undercover experts to comb American Indian Reservations looking for talented scouts, for tough young men trained to move stealthily through rough terrain. They were especially looking for men with outstanding, almost supernatural, tracking abilities. Before being approached, these carefully selected men were extensively documented as experts in tracking and survival.

With the usual enticements, the well proven smooth phrases used to enroll new recruits, some of these, Native American trackers, were then enlisted. Once enlisted, an amazing thing happened. Whatever talents and skills they had possessed on the reservation seemed to mysteriously disappear, as recruit after recruit failed to perform as expected in the field.

Serious casualties and failures of performance led the government to contract expensive testing of these recruits, and this is what was found.

When questioned about their failure to perform as expected, the older recruits replied consistently that when they received their required military haircuts, they could no longer 'sense' the enemy, they could no longer access a 'sixth sense', their 'intuition' no longer was reliable, they couldn't 'read' subtle signs as well or access subtle extrasensory information.

So the testing institute recruited more Native American trackers, let them keep their long hair, and tested them in multiple areas. Then they would pair two men together who had received the same scores on all the tests. They would let one man in the pair keep his hair long, and gave the other man a military haircut. Then the two men retook the tests.

Time after time the man with long hair kept making high scores. Time after time, the man with the short hair failed the tests in which he had previously scored high scores.

Here is a typical test:
The recruit is sleeping out in the woods. An armed 'enemy' approaches the sleeping man. The long haired man is awakened out of his sleep by a strong sense of danger and gets away long before the enemy is close, long before any sounds from the approaching enemy are audible.

In another version of this test the long haired man senses an approach and somehow intuits that the enemy will perform a physical attack. He follows his 'sixth sense' and stays still, pretending to be sleeping, but quickly grabs the attacker and 'kills' him as the attacker reaches down to strangle him.

This same man, after having passed these and other tests, then received a military haircut and consistently failed these tests, and many other tests that he had previously passed.

So the document recommended that all Indian trackers be exempt from military haircuts. In fact, it required that trackers keep their hair long." --

The mammalian body has evolved over millions of years. Survival skills of humans and animals at times seem almost supernatural. Science is constantly coming up with more discoveries about the amazing abilities of man and animals to survive. Each part of the body has highly sensitive work to perform for the survival and well being of the body as a whole. The body has a reason for every part of itself. (Sikhs consider body hair to be a special gift from the Creator.)

Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved 'feelers' or 'antennae' that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brainstem, the limbic system, and the neo cortex.

Not only does hair, including facial hair in men, provide an information highway reaching the brain, hair also emits energy, the electromagnetic energy emitted by the brain into the outer environment. This has been seen in Kirlian photography when a person is photographed with long hair and then re-photographed after the hair is cut.

When hair is cut, receiving and sending transmissions to and from the environment are greatly hampered. This results in a numbing-out.

Cutting the hair is a contributing factor to the unawareness of environmental distress in local ecosystems. It is also a contributing factor to insensitivity in relationships of all kinds. It contributes to sexual frustration.

In searching for solutions for the distress in our world, it's time for us to consider that many of our most basic assumptions about reality are in error. It may be that a major part of the solution is looking at us in the face each morning when we see ourselves in the mirror. See also If Your Dad Doesn't Have A Beard.

Native Americans respected their hair.

"Some native tribes even scalped their live enemies.
It appears this practice held much more significance than just
a bunch of 'savages' committing acts of barbarism." -- H. S. Khalsa

The story of Sampson and Delilah in the Bible has a lot of encoded truth to tell us. When Delilah cut Sampson’s hair, the once undefeatable Sampson was defeated. More About Your Hair. See also Concerning The Tradition of Long Hair and Beards.

Ask yourself, "Why does my hair keep growing back, cut after cut?"
And, "Why is it so difficult to stop hair from growing?"
Answer: Hair is more important than you think!

The looming and often ignored reality that is presented to the reader who opens the scriptures to seek out the meaning, is that what one person sees in the scriptures, is entirely different than what another person sees -- and again very different than what the few who have had their mind's open see -- i.e., "Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures" (Luke 24:45 NIV).

The scriptures are composed in such a way, that there are many levels of instruction to be seen -- and as the student and seeker begins to mature, these deeper levels of the spiritual revelation and meaning are slowly revealed to those who possess the spiritual eyes to see what the organic vision and mind of man is blind to. Why? Because the organic mind and consciousness of the physical body is as the ground within which the seed of the Living Word has been implanted as portrayed in the parable of the Sower and the Seed (see http://messianic.nazirene.org/sower_seed.html ) -- and like the leaven that raises up the whole -- the implanted Word must be expanded -- i.e., “…multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times” what was initially received (Mark 4:8 NIV). The more the implanted seed is multiplied, the greater the understanding of the disciple/seeker. The initial stages of understanding is portrayed as the Testimony of the Gospel -- i.e., or the "milk" of the Gospel. Which is why Paul stated to the confirmed and baptized congregation at Corinth that "...For in him you have been enriched in every way -- in all your speaking and in all your knowledge -- because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift..." -- with respect to the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God, Paul warned 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, these believers could only be taught the doctrine of Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were not yet spiritual men -- but rather, they were men of flesh and still very much “babes in Christ”. Paul then explains that: “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS)

The problem is that until the implanted Living Word begins to expand -- and in it's expansion, achieves a degree of spiritual Wholeness -- it is impossible for the believer to understand the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God. This is seen where Paul warns that they will reject and condemn these higher concepts and teachings as utter "foolishness" -- i.e., “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ). And what the reality of these words present, is the fact that until the process of spiritual transformation has been brought about, and the implanted Word has reached a degree of expansion and wholeness, that everything that could be imparted to the believer of the simple-faith, will be will rejected as utter "foolishness". And it has absolutely nothing to do with your intellect or knowledge of the scriptures -- and it has everything to do with creating the proper environment within your own body and mind, that emulates the pattern of the "good ground", which permits the necessary expansion of mind to begin to manifest and bring about a degree of transformed wholeness.

When Paul was taken up into the Kingdom, he conveyed to the congregation at Corinth that he heard truths and “…things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words…” -- and after they gaze upon these mysteries, what they have witnessed will be of such a profound nature that they will “…not [be] allowed to tell them to others” (2 Cor 12:4 TLB). Why did he say that he was not even allowed to tell what he witnessed to other believers? Because these higher concepts and realities of the soul were incomprehensible to the untransformed organic mind of the congregation of believers. And this is why in his Epistle to the Trallaus the first century overseer Ignatius speaks of the higher Mysteries of the Gospel and writes: “Might I not write to you things more full of mystery? But I fear to do so, lest I should inflict injury on you who are babes. Pardon me in this respect, lest, as not being able to receive their weighty import, ye should be strangled by them”. Ignatius also writes that though he is aware of the mysteries, he is not yet “by any means perfect, nor am I such a disciple as Paul or Peter”

If the scriptures had not been corrupted by the Gentile Church of Rome, there would exist many concepts that would cause the believer to ask questions from their elders in TheWay. Depending upon the level of these questions, the person would be provided an answer that would condition them to arriving at the next rung of the proverbial Jacob's Ladder of spiritual maturity. Level by level, they would be given wisdom in accord with their needs at that point. And with respect to the transition of "milk" to levels of "solid food" for the more mature, it is written that "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little" (Isa 28:9-10 NKJ).

What this means is that when you, the reader of the scriptures, are exposed to certain higher concepts, you immediately reject these concepts -- i.e., “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ). So, upon hearing these higher truths, you immediately reject them as "foolishness". And this is not so much your fault, as it is the fault of the Church which corrupted the scriptures and removed many of the more important spiritual teachings and concepts (see http://BibleCorruption.com ). It is the fault of the prostitute empress of Justinian who induced her husband to outlaw the early Church Fathers who openly taught about the journey of the soul. Quoting the link http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm : In the year 553 the Emperor Justinian convened the 5th Ecumenical Council where, quoting the Catholic Encyclopedia, "...the council opened on 5 May, 553, in spite of the protestations of Pope Vigilius, who though at Constantinople, refused to attend it... before the opening of the council, which had been delayed by the resistance of the pope, the bishops already assembled at Constantinople had to consider, by order of the emperor, a form of Origenism that had practically nothing in common with Origen..." Quoting the Britannica: "After the council, Justinian banished the pope to Egypt , and afterwards to an island, until he accepted the Council, which he ultimately did." The result is that the very foundational doctrines that are necessary to begin to mature beyond an elementary level, were not only condemned and anathema -- but have yet to be corrected to this very day. In the same way that the religious doctrines of the pagan emperors were imposed on the church in the fourth century, this remained true into the sixth century when the doctrine of the pre-existent soul was outlawed.

In addition to the above link, much is revealed about the pre-Nicene doctrines of belief in the early Church in the official reply to the allegations of the Pagan Prefect Celsus who composed his writing in the second century entitled The True Word, where the Church was accused of being a secret system that taught the multitude of believers such as those at Corinth, very differently than the inner core of the spiritual mature, at this link on predestination http://divinestrategery.com/#predestination ). And if a believer fails to understand the doctrine of Predestination as taught in the scriptures and by the early Church from the perspective of the journey of the soul, then their understanding will spiritually flat-line at a certain elementary point -- and it will become impossible for them to progress beyond that point in their development.

What this means is that unless the people of the simple faith are prepared to recognize that Paul was speaking about believers such as those who today call themselves Christian, when he warned that they will reject the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God as "foolishness", then there is really nothing that can be conveyed to these believers that they will not immediately reject.

Why would you listen to a man who tells you that you must believe, when Jesus himself commanded you to seek the Truth and the Kingdom -- stating that you should not only reject blind belief and the doctrines of men -- teaching that the means to know the Truth, is to Live the Truth -- i.e., “If any of you really determines to do God’s will, then you will certainly know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own” (John 7:17 TLB). And to each person who reads these words which I have written -- or have been written by God through me -- I can only affirm what Jesus already taught with respect to proving the Truth and TheWay.

If There Is A God, Why Doesn't He Fix This World?

If we pose the question as to what degree life on earth is predestined? As stated in the above: "A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps" (Prov 16:9 NKJ). It is at this point where the biblical teaching of predestination gets really frightening for the vast majority of people who do not possess the necessary knowledge of the Laws that control every event, endeavor and person in this world. From a biblical perspective, this all-pervading fact is demonstrated in Jesus' own words when he said: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV). If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground apart from the Will of the Father, then we have no other option than to come to terms with the biblical fact that everything in this life is directly orchestrated by God? On this verse the Adam Clark Commentary states: “The providence of God extends to the minutest things; everything is continually under the government and care of God, and nothing occurs without his will or permission”. And this fact of the Laws is expressed in the Wisdom of Isaiah: “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please” (Isa 46:10 NIV).

Just as important as the above statement by Jesus, is the very words he spoke to the man who he healed when he warned: "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14 KJV). We must therefore ask: If our own actions can cause "...a worse thing come unto [us]", how is this tribulation brought about? Moreover, why is this tribulation brought about in our lives? And just as important is the question as to what the initiating causes are that brings this tribulation about in the lives of men and women? The answer is that there were Laws put into action at the very beginning of Creation which returns to each person the fruit of their own actions -- “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV). With respect to the above, Paul went on to say that someone who professes to believe in Jesus, and continues to sin, are not only apostates to the Gospel, but that their fate is worse off than the unbelievers -- i.e., "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). And how is this judgment brought about? By virtue of the Laws that return to each person the fruit of their own past.

Without Exception, every person is at their present station in life, by virtue of the road they personally traveled to get there. Without Exception, everything that exists, exists for a reason -- and has been brought about as the result by a pre-existing cause, which has become manifest in order to bring about a preordained result. Without Exception, your present life is the result of your past, and you are presently creating and forming your future. Without Exception, if you are a victim of any of life's circumstances, then you have made yourself a victim by virtue of your own actions, inactions, or complacency. Without Exception, your own past actions is responsible for your present gender, race, sexual orientation, social and economic station in life, manner of thinking and mindset, and even the religious, political and cultural conditions of the life you are presently living.

It is the mind that raises man above the beasts of the earth -- that permits him to prevail over the forces of nature -- that enables him to rule over his environment -- overcoming even the very force of gravity that holds him to the earth, and traveling to distant heavenly bodies that his ancestors worshiped as gods. And to escape the limitations of this world, and begin to rule of one's self in pursuit of the Inner Kingdom (see Gate Of Eden) -- and through this expansion of the mind beyond the organic limitations of earth-consciousness, the prodigal sons and daughters are able to fulfill the Laws in the same way as their Elder Brother Jesus taught, and become re-born in the Kingdom while still in the body-vessel. Thus, to this end the Gospel of Philip declares: "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live, they will not receive anything (when) they die"( http://DivineManna.org ).

Early Church on Predestination: In the words of the third century Church Father Origen -- the man St. Gregory of Nyssa called “the prince of Christian learning in the Third Century”: “We have frequently shown”, writes Origen, “by those declarations which we were able to produce from the holy Scriptures, that God, the Creator of all things, is good, and just, and all-powerful… But since those rational creatures themselves, as we have frequently shown, and will yet show in the proper place, were endowed with the power of free-will, this freedom of will incited each one either to progress by imitation of God, or reduced him to failure through negligence… Now God, who deemed it just to arrange His creatures according to their merit, brought down these different understandings into the harmony of one world, that He might adorn, as it were, one dwelling, in which there ought to be not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay (and some indeed to honor, and others to dishonor), with those different vessels, or souls, or understandings. And these are the causes… why that world presents the aspect of diversity, while Divine Providence continues to regulate each individual according to the variety of his movements, or of his feelings and purpose. On which account the Creator will neither appear to be unjust in distributing (for the causes already mentioned) to every one according to his merits; nor will the happiness or unhappiness of each one's birth, or whatever be the condition that falls to his lot, be deemed accidental; nor will different creators, or souls of different natures, be believed to exist” (De Principiis, Bk 2 Ch 9).

What Origen is stating is that, in the beginning, each soul was created equal and the same, and their place in life is not the result of an accident, or the indiscriminate manifestation of God's Will in the form of Divine Providence -- but rather, each soul's lot in life is the result of the exercise of their own freewill, and consequently is arranged “according to their merit”. This merit is not the result of some unknown condition -- but rather, is imposed upon each individual in accordance with what they have accomplished in their previous lives.

Origen then goes on to demonstrate this truth by using the very example which the Apostle Paul gave with regard to Esau and Jacob, and writes: “‘What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God?' And that he might furnish us with an opportunity of inquiring into these matters, and of ascertaining how these things do not happen without a reason, he answers himself, and says, 'God forbid.' For the same question, as it seems to me, which is raised concerning Jacob and Esau, may be raised regarding all celestial and terrestrial creatures, and even those of the lower world as well. And in like manner it seems to me, that as he there says, 'The children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil,' so it might also be said of all other things, 'When they were not yet' created, 'neither had yet done any good or evil, that the decree of God according to election may stand,' that (as certain think) some things on the one hand were created heavenly, some on the other earthly, and others, again, beneath the earth, 'not of works' (as they think), 'but of Him who calleth,' what shall we say then, if these things are so? 'Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.' As, therefore, when the Scriptures are carefully examined regarding Jacob and Esau, it is not found to be unrighteousness with God that it should be said, before they were born, or had done anything in this life, 'the elder shall serve the younger;' and as it is found not to be unrighteousness that even in the womb Jacob supplanted his brother, if we feel that he was worthily beloved by God, according to the deserts of his previous life, so as to deserve to be preferred before his brother”.

God did not hate Esau and love Jacob for no reason! To even believe such a preposterous concept of Divine Wisdom is to affirm Peter's assertion that the Gentiles believe these absurdities because “their minds are accustomed to take in things spoken against God. Respecting the Divine Order of Creation, Origen then continues referring to the Paul’s Epistle to the Romans and goes on to explain: “For God must be believed to do and order all things and at all times according to His judgment. For the words which the apostle uses when he says, ‘In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor and some to dishonor;' and those which he adds, saying, 'If a man purge himself, he will be a vessel unto honor, sanctified and meet for the Master's use, unto every good work,' undoubtedly point out this, that he who shall purge himself when he is in this life, will be prepared for every good work in that which is to come; while he who does not purge himself will be, according to the amount of his impurity, a vessel unto dishonor, i.e., unworthy. It is therefore possible to understand that there have been also formerly rational vessels, whether purged or not, i.e., which either purged themselves or did not do so, and that consequently every vessel, according to the measure of its purity or impurity, received a place, or region, or condition by birth, or an office to discharge, in this world. All of which, down to the humblest, God providing for and distinguishing by the power of His wisdom, arranges all things by His controlling judgment, according to a most impartial retribution, so far as each one ought to be assisted or cared for in conformity with his deserts. In which certainly every principle of equity is shown, while the inequality of circumstances preserves the justice of a retribution according to merit. But the grounds of the merits in each individual case are only recognized truly and clearly by God Himself, along with His only-begotten Word, and His Wisdom, and the Holy Spirit”.

Origen again demonstrates that our lot in life is the result of our own deserts, and writes: “For God the Creator makes a certain vessel unto honor, and other vessels to dishonor; but that vessel which has cleansed itself from all impurity He makes a vessel unto honor, while that which has stained itself with the filth of vice He makes a vessel unto dishonor. The conclusion from which, accordingly, is this, that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor. And if the assertion appear correct, as it certainly is, and in harmony with all piety, that it is due to previous causes that every vessel be prepared by God either to honor or to dishonor, it does not appear absurd that, in discussing remoter causes in the same order, and in the same method, we should come to the same conclusion respecting the nature of souls, and (believe) that this was the reason why Jacob was beloved before he was born into this world, and Esau hated, while he still was contained in the womb of his mother”.

Why Does Knowledge Of The Laws Matter?

Jesus not only taught that the life that everyone is living has been predestined from before they were even born, but that one's failure to embrace and abide by the Higher Law of Creator-God, will bring about a type of imprisonment -- an imprisonment that is portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being below. Thus the oft ignored warning: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV). In speaking of this prison of the "outer darkness", Jesus warned that “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26). And while this reality was understood by the early Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus (see Ebionite), and the early Gentile Christians (see The Secret Doctrine), this higher understanding of the journey of the pre-existent soul and the interaction with the Laws, was declared heresy by the Emperor Justinian because his circus prostitute wife rejected these important teachings of the Church (see The Ten Reasons Why The Church Rejected The Doctrine Of The Pre-Existent Soul). And many of the biblical teachings which supported these teachings, had previously been removed to make the scriptures support the pagan doctrines of Rome (see http://BibleCorruption.com ).

The Parable Of The Talents: Even in what remains in the corrupted scriptures, it can still be seen that Jesus taught that each person is born into this life in accord with their own past accomplishments. "And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey" (Matt 25:15 NKJ). The key concept here is that each person in this world is not only entrusted with a different amount, but that each person is entrusted with an amount "...each according to his own ability." What this means is that each and every person was born into this life, exactly as ordained for them in accord with their own past accomplishments, and those who find fault with their lot in life, are in reality judging themselves (see a more in-depth presentation on the parable of the talents at Christian Blindness To The Scriptures).

It is interesting to note that the most popular and used scripture of the earliest Gentile Christians was the Shepherd of Hermas (see Shepherd Intro), which was later suppressed by the Church of Rome because it was unacceptable from a pagan mindset and lifestyle. And in addition to revealing the threefold nature of the scriptures (see Threefold), the understanding of caring for the poor, the widows and orphans, that is not at all understood today, is presented in this important writing (see Widows).

The proper mindset with respect to the Laws, is expressed throughout the scriptures. The Ten Commandments thus state: "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's" (Exod 20:17 NKJ). Why? Because each man's life is the direct result of their own previous actions and accomplishments -- and that they fail to remember these pre-existent actions, is because they dwell in the "outer darkness". And this is further confirmed in the Shepherd of Hermas which commands: "The expenditure of the heathen then practice not ye; for it is not convenient for you the servants of God. But practice your own expenditure, in which ye can rejoice; and do not corrupt, neither touch that which is another man's, nor lust after it; for it is wicked to lust after other men's possessions."

By virtue of the Laws that orchestrated and dictated every part of the life that every man, woman and child is presently living, every person is at their present station in life, by virtue of the road they personally traveled to get there. The conditions of your birth, as well as the life you are living, has been brought about, orchestrated, and maintained, by the Laws of God -- Laws that insure that each and every "...man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).

And everything that exists, not only exists for a higher reason -- but has been brought about and is the direct result of pre-existing causal reasons, which have become manifest in order to bring about a preordained result. When you desire or lust after what the Laws of God has provided for your neighbor, or any other group of people, then you not only reject the Hand of God that provided in accord with your own needs, but you have sinned against God because you reject His Wisdom in what was provided for others.

The parable of TheCall not only portrays the objectives of life, but also the fate of those who do not fulfill these objectives of the prodigal son in the Far Country.    The Call to the Wedding Feast is in fact the means by which the lost prodigal sons and daughters become released from The Prison that Jesus portrayed as the fate of the lawless, and it provides the opportunity to begin the return journey Home to the Edenic Kingdom of the Father which they abandoned in the allegory of The Fall of Man.    The word used with respect to "opportunity", is of the utmost importance to understand.   When the man approached Jesus and said: "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?" (Matt 19:16).   Jesus' reply to him is imperative to understand.   Contrary to modern Church doctrine, the first thing Jesus did was correct him and stated: "Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, that is, God".     If Jesus was God, then he never would have corrected the man -- and would have stated something to the effect that the man's insight has led him to the truth.   And if present day Christian doctrine were true, Jesus would have replied that all who call upon his name would be saved.   But, Christian doctrine has been ordained by man, and not God -- and after correcting the man by responding that he was a man, and only God is good, Jesus then told him to keep the Law -- i.e., "But if you want to enter into Life, keep the Commandments".   He did not tell the man to believe in him (Jesus) -- or to become his follower.   Jesus instructed the man who asked what one must do to have eternal Life, to "...keep the Commandments" -- the same Commandments that modern believers are under the delusion that they no longer need to observe!!!    But to understand why it is necessary to Keep the Commandments -- and why a person who fails to Keep the Law cannot enter into Life -- you will have to understand that those who fail to Keep the Law and Observe it to its Fullness, dwell in The Prison that Jesus made reference to.

It is the lawlessness of the Christians who are followers of Constantine and Martin Luther, that makes the warning of Jesus applicable to the Church as Apostates to the Kingdom.   Thus, Jesus said: "Therefore by their fruits you will know them. 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!' Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock..." (Matt 7:20-24 NKJ).   And this is why the Christian world dwells in the prison that Jesus warned was the fate of all who are lawless.

The parable of TheCall to the Wedding Feast is not to those who dwell in the mental and spiritual shackles of The Prison --- but rather, to those who have themselves been living a righteous life every striving to live by the Commandments and seeking the Kingdom.   Those who have been confined to The Prison, do not even have the opportunity to come to TheCall -- for, as Jesus warned: “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26).   TheCall is primarily made to those who have themselves fulfilled the Law, and have prepared themselves for the Wedding.   The others who have the possibility to attend, are portrayed as traveling on the "highways".    And what is presented in the parable of TheCall, is of paramount importance to all seekers today.

Thus, it is written: "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.' But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 'Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.' So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt 22:2-14 NKJ).

In the same way that it is impossible to understand the parable of the prodigal son from the doctrinal mindset and thinking of the modern Church -- it is in like manner impossible for Christians to understand the parable of TheCall with any depth.    They cannot answer the crucial questions: Why are some invited, while others are not?   And in like manner, it is impossible for them to understand why a greater number of talents were given to some people (see The Parable Of The Talents), and why Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders that the “…tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you” (Matt 21:31 RSV).   In fact, such a statement simply has no place within the present day understanding of Christian doctrine.   Because the flock of believers are without a means to explain Jesus' words, most Bible commentaries simply ignore the implications of this passage of scripture. One widely used commentary attempts to correct the text by changing the words to “instead of” -- which would then make the meaning doctrinally correct and read: “The tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God instead of you”.    But that is not what Jesus said -- and the problem is in fact created by the manmade doctrines of Pagan Rome which the Church adheres to.   In this verse of scripture we are presented with one of the core reasons why the original followers of Christ believed differently than most Christians today. The question that must be posed is: When will the chief priests and elders enter into the kingdom? Modern Christian doctrine states that because of their disbelief and rejection of Christ, they will be cut off from the face of God, and condemned to eternal judgment. And yet we cannot deny the fact that Jesus' own words convey the message that there will come a time when the chief priests and elders will also enter the Kingdom of God -- and it will be at a time after the tax collectors and harlots who believed, repented, and followed the Christ.

The answer is that none of these parables which concealed and preserved what was portrayed as the Minor Mysteries of God, can be understood apart from the journey of the soul and what is portrayed as the End Times. -- and the requirement at Mat 5:48 that each prodigal son must be "...perfect, as their Heavenly Father is Perfect".   And that the Church clings to the doctrines of a Roman Pagan Emperor, and his circus prostitute wife (see http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm ), is to their own undoing as apostasy to the Kingdom.

Those who were invited to the Wedding Feast, were as those who had achieved a greater level of spiritual perfection in their past lives.   This is synonymous with the parable of the talents where, based on their ability, had been given a greater number of talents as seen in the teaching "And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey" (Matt 25:15 NKJ).   And this ability is the result of their accomplishments in their souls more distant past.   In the words of the Church Father Origen: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (see Chickens Come Home To Roost).

One of the primary doctrines that render the vast majority of Christians spiritually impotent and mentally flat-lined, is their adherence on the doctrines of Martin Luther that salvation is by faith alone, apart from a person's actions.   And that because of their counterfeit doctrines of belief, modern Christians are incapable of understanding Paul's doctrine of faith as demonstrated in the words of Paul where he warns: "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV).   And this is why it is warned in the New Testament that the complacent Christians will receive the greater judgment and condemnation, than the unbelievers who have committed the greater sins (see http://TheLie.org ).

In the parable of TheCall to the Wedding Feast, it can be stated that those who entered life with greater opportunity were those who are portrayed as being invited to the Wedding Feast -- but because of their complacency and their squandering their opportunity away on the things, mindset, thinking and lifestyle of this world, they did not come -- and everything that they had was lost and destroyed -- i.e., "...Come to the wedding.' But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.   The armies represent the Laws which impose the judgment of The Prison.    That those who have received more, more is required of them, whereas, very little is required of those who have not received more, as presented in the words: “That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Luke 12:47-48 NIV).

Why is there evil in the world?   Why are some souls born into lives of great suffering?   Because they have been imprisoned by the Left Hand of Correction (see Left Hand) -- and the Laws have brought their own actions back upon them (see Chickens Come Home To Roost).   These are they who dwell in The Prison.   And it is impossible for them to even come to TheCall -- or even comprehend man's higher soul and spiritual reality, or understand the need to come to Wedding Feast -- until which time they have paid back the last debt, and been released from what Jesus portrayed as The Prison -- i.e., “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26).

Man Dwells In The "Outer Darkness" Of Consciousness

In the Gospel of Matthew the term "outer darkness" is used three times in conjunction with the fate of the Jews who did not seek to walk in TheWay.   Who dwells in the "outer darkness"?   While it is different than The Prison, it is used in conjunction with the person who failed to put on the required wedding garment -- and in conjunction with the servant who put his talent into the earth, instead of multiplying what he had received -- i.e., "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 'And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.' But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 'So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 'Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.   'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'" (Matt 25:24-30 NKJ).

Exactly what is the "outer darkness"?

.

In each case it portrays a person who is a believer, but has not lived their lives in accord with the Law and teachings of TheWay.    And the differentiation is made between those who dwell in the "outer darkness", and those who are portrayed as being imprisoned by the Laws of this world -- i.e., “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26).

It is therefore important to understand the difference between a person portrayed as being imprisoned, and one who has been cast into the "outer darkness".    What is the "outer darkness"?   What it represents is the outer dimensions of mind and consciousness that is associated with the natural organic mind of man. Paul described the Christians who had yet to undergo the process of transformation, as being of a "natural" mind -- carnal, and too immature to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom (see Organic Consciousness).   With respect to this condition of mind and being, the scriptures warn that it is the reason why the people of this world will look upon the Mysteries of God as utter "foolishness"!!!    All of us are equally the Prodigal Sons and Daughters of our Heavenly Father.   We are presently dwelling in the "far country" -- dwelling under the power of what the parable portrays as the "citizen" of this world.    Paul called it the god of this world. The first Spiritual Christians called it the Demiurge, because this Power of the Left Hand is the creator of illusion that keeps the Prodigal Sons and Daughters as slaves to the things of this world.   And as the prodigal sons who dwell in the "far country... outer darkness" of mind and being, all of mankind dwells in a state of ignorance with respect to the inner reality of his soul and spiritual natures -- as well as the Inner Kingdom (Lk 17:20-21) -- because he has been cast into what the Bible calls the "outer darkness" of consciousness.   Thus, until, in the manner of Jesus' portrayal of the prodigal son, he is ready to arise and "turn about", he will remain under the illusion of unknowing and ignorance of his true self -- surrendering his inheritance as the Offspring of the Most High -- until which time he is ready to return Home to his Source of Being. Jesus warned those who want to be his disciples and followers, not to believe the teachers and authorities of this world, because they have all been deceived by the god of this world -- i.e., the keeper of the School House of this world.   Jesus taught that there is the Power of the Left Hand that Rules this world -- and the Power of the Right Hand that draws the true seeker who has put on his "Wedding Garment" into the Marriage with the Divine Bridegroom of our inner souls.   Which means that to hear and come to TheCall, all we need to do is apply the Key of Knowledge in our lives, strive to live the Consecrated Life that Jesus Ordained, seek the Divine Manna of Heaven which is given only to those who are worthy to receive it, and seek the Kingdom within.

The Chickens Come Home To Roost!

As portrayed in the above presentation of The Laws That Perfect Mankind, the term the chickens come home to roost is merely an acknowledgement of the workings of these Laws. Malcolm X used the phrase in response to the assassination of Pres. John Kennedy. While Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson did not explicitly use this phrase, the meaning was the same when they attempted to portray the disaster of 9-11 as being caused by the sin of the American people in their rejection of the Laws of God as presented in the Bible. Because Pat Robertson has embraced the doctrines of Pagan Rome (see The Christian Judas), Robertson was forced to deny the teachings of Jesus, and apologize because of his own spiritual ignorance which inhibited him from explaining what both the Bible and Jesus directly taught. More recently, it has been demonstrated that just after 9-11 the spiritual mentor of Sen. Barack Obama used this phrase to present the argument that God is punishing (white) American because of their past where they enslaved the black race.

While the statement with respect to the chickens coming home to roost is true, because the religious leaders who have attempted to use it are all ignorant of the Movement of the Laws of God, they have been unable to explain exactly how and why the chickens do come home to roost. On September 11^th, 2001, the very liberal New York City and the very liberal United States was brought into the presence of reality, and was mugged by Islamic terrorists who believed they were doing good by striking a blow against the Great Satan. What the left leaning liberal Bill Clinton, and the right leaning Jerry Falwell each predicted, was that the United States had angered God. Falwell and Clinton had each suggested that the September 11^th attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was the result of debts that were owed by the American people. While Bill Clinton in his speech at Georgetown University did not out right attribute the devastation at the hands of Islamic terrorists directly to the Will of God, as did Falwell, there can be no other reasonable explanation.

Interestingly, when Jerry Falwell proclaimed that the cause of the World Trade Center disaster was due to God’s anger over the immorality and ungodliness that has overcome the Nation as it continues its downward spiral into the decadence of Sodom and Gomorrah, the liberal leaning media was aghast that he would make such a statement. People were appalled that Jerry Falwell, and then Pat Robertson, could even suggest that God had brought judgment upon the American people in the manner of the biblical portrayal of Sodom and Gomorrah. Yet, as typical of liberals, very little protest was raised by the left leaning media when Bill Clinton warned that we were suffering the consequences of a nation that was both founded on slaves, and disposed and killed native Americans in order to get their land. Regardless of the fact that we don’t like the message that both have expressed for very different reasons, there is an element of truth to what they are saying.

In much the same manner, many of the mainstream Reform and Conservative Jews were angered when Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan, the former chief rabbi of Israel, a religious scholar who was also the spiritual leader of the Shas party, made the statement that no innocent Jews died in the Holocaust. What Rabbi Yosefan said was that the 6 million Holocaust victims "were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done.” Rabbi Yosefan explained that these souls who had previously lived lives of sin, “…had been reincarnated in order to atone.” Immediately, all sectors of the population -- from then Prime Minister Barak, to the Holocaust survivors -- condemned the rabbi's remarks. In a communiqué issued from his office, Barak stated: “His words are liable to harm the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust and are liable to hurt the feelings of their families and the feelings of the entire nation.”

Legislator Yosef (Tommy) Lapid, who had been himself a Holocaust survivor who at that time headed the secularist Shinui party, condemned Rabbi Yosef’s statements and said he was “… in effect confirming what Hitler said, that the Jews are sinners.” Holocaust organizations and the two main Israeli radio stations reported that they were inundated with phone calls and fax messages, most of them criticizing Yosef's statement. The Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum labeled Yosef's remarks “miserable” and said they “seriously harm the memory of the victims.” In a released statement the museum said: “With all due respect to such a leader, it's hard to understand where Rabbi Yosef gets the courage to explain the intentions and ways of the supreme authority.” Attempting to clarify his words in the following week to a populace that did not comprehend one of the most paramount teachings of both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, Rabbi Yosef cited a 16th century Jewish mystic, Isaac Luria, who wrote: “If the soul was not purified entirely the first time, and it left this world, that soul must come back in a reincarnation, even a few times, until it is entirely purified.”

What Rabbi Yosef stated was that all those Jews who died at the hands of Hitler, were merely reaping their own debts they had themselves committed in a previous life! From the perspective of the Laws that everyone is in denial of, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV). And this could just as well be expressed in the words: The chickens of those people who suffered under Hitler, had come home to roost.

What the Rabbi suggested was even though we may appear to be the innocent victim in this present life, this was not always the case -- and each of us inherits both the good and the evil that we have personally and collectively engendered in the previous existences our soul has lived prior to our being born into the present life we are now living -- as so clearly stated in the words of the Church Father Origen when he wrote: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis).

Thus, the common message that Jerry Falwell, Bill Clinton, Pat Robertson, Jeremiah Wright and the Rabbi Yosef all proclaimed, was the conformation of the great biblically defined truth that what goes around comes around: “Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same” (Job 4:8 NKJ); “Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the full with their own fancies” (Prov 1:31 NKJ); “But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception” (Hosea 10:13 NIV); “God will give to each person according to what he has done” (Rom 2:6 NIV); “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life” (Gal 6:7-8 NIV); “If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints” (Rev 13:9-10 NKJ); “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man” (Gen 9:6 NIV); “His disciples asked him [Jesus], Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (Jn 9:2 NIV). Yet, because certain New Testament teachings were removed by the Pagan Church of Rome, modern Christians are at a total loss when they attempt to explain how the Laws work in the life of man -- and even the very reason why bad things seemingly happed to good people -- or why a benevolent God ordains the good and evil that man is incapable of understanding.

While Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson do not believe in the pre-existence of the soul, and we are not quite sure exactly what Bill Clinton believes in, we can easily see that the position of Rabbi Yosef was not only biblically based, but is very much in accord with the original teachings of the New Covenant. In the 69^th chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes (see Gospel), Jesus is asked: “Master, if a man die, shall he live again?” While every Christian will agree with the reply of Jesus in the words: “I am the resurrection and the life, I am the good, the beautiful, the true; if a man believe in me he shall not die, but live eternally,” where modern believers depart from the original teachings of TheWay is seen in the biblical interpretation of what it means to believe in the Lord, and what is required in order to live eternally. Of those who believe, Jesus said: “As in Adam all die, so in the Christ shall all be made alive. Blessed are the dead who die in me, and are made perfect in my image and likeness, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. They have overcome evil, and are made pillars in the temple of my God, and they go out no more, for they rest in the eternal.” While modern Christians will readily accept the idea that they will be made perfect in the image and likeness of Christ, the problem is seen in the words that they will “…go out no more”.

While Jerry Falwell and Bill Clinton agreed that man will be judged and owe a debt for his evil, only Rabbi Yosef correctly predicted the means and process by which the Most High God employs to correct the evilness and debts of mankind, as seen in the very next warning of Jesus: “For them that persist in evil there is no rest, but they go out and in, and suffer correction for ages, till they are made perfect. But for them that have done good and attained to perfection, there is endless rest and they go into life everlasting. They rest in the eternal. Over them the repeated death and birth have no power, for them the wheel of the eternal revolves no more, for they have attained to the center, where is eternal rest, and the center of all things is God.”

If these words are true, and there is no rest for those who persist in doing evil because they are forced back into life in this world where they “…go out and in, and suffer correction for ages, till they are made perfect,” then we must pose the question as to how we will recognize these souls when they re-enter this life? For the most part we can’t -- and they will appear to us as innocent men, women and children, unless we ourselves possess the spiritual eyes to see their more distant past that was beyond their entrance into this present life. Thus, we can see the words of wisdom when Rabbi Yosefan said of the Jews who died in the Holocaust that they "were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done.”

What this means is that those who suffered in the Holocaust came into that life to pay back a debt that was incurred in a previous life, and what Rabbi Yosefan was merely acknowledging was the very clearly defined doctrine that everything in life is predestined -- as demonstrated in Jesus' own words when he said: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV). If, as Jesus taught, a sparrow cannot fall to the ground apart and without the Will of the Father, then we have no other option than to come to terms with the biblical fact that everything in this life is directly orchestrated by God? On this verse the Adam Clark Commentary states: “The providence of God extends to the minutest things; everything is continually under the government and care of God, and nothing occurs without his will or permission”. Perhaps even more enlightening is the biblically based explanation provided to us under the heading of Providence in the Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary where it is explained that: “Divine government is the continued activity of God by which He directs all things to the ends He has chosen in His eternal plan… He governs insignificant things (Matt. 10:29-31), apparent accidents (Prov. 16:33), as well as man's good (Phil. 2:13) and evil deeds (Acts 14:16). God acts in accordance with the laws and principles that He has established in the world. The laws of nature are nothing more than man's description of how we perceive God at work in the world. They neither have inherent power nor do they work by themselves. Man is not free to choose and act independently from God's will and plan; he chooses and acts in accordance with them. In His sovereignty, God controls man's choices and actions (Gen. 45:5; Deut. 8:18; Prov. 21:1). God's actions, however, do not violate the reality of human choice or negate man's responsibility as a moral being”.

What is truly important for us to begin to comprehend in these words is the profound statement which truly conveys the reality of life in the words that “God acts in accordance with the laws and principles that He has established in the world. The laws of nature are nothing more than man's description of how we perceive God at work in the world. They neither have inherent power nor do they work by themselves.”

What does this mean to us? If it is true that not one sparrow can “…fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV), then Jerry Falwell and Bill Clinton would be correct in their assertion that the United States owes a debt, and the terrorists attacks on us were not only known beforehand, but were actually permitted by the “…laws and principles that He [God] has established in the world.” Moreover, what this means is that those who appear to be innocent victims, actually entered into this life knowing that they would be required to repay a debt for their own past actions in a previous life. And this is the very reality portrayed above by the Church Father Origen when he explained: "...that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor.

Failure To Perceive And Understand

The Reflection Of Self When

The Chickens Come Home To Roost

In the same way that the Jews rejected the wisdom and understanding of the Laws that caused them to be victims of the holocaust -- even when it was their own Holy Man and Jewish Mystic whose teachings they rejected -- few people possess the insight to see that it is themselves that they are judging, or the knowledge to understand the movement of the Laws in their own lives. Liberals such as Bill Clinton who have been diminishing the Constitution, and empowering Secular Progressives who want to re-define the Rights of Man from being God-Given, to that which government permits, are themselves invoking the Laws that will destroy our Constitutional form of government (see The Laws That Will Destroy America). Both Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson fail to see that the decadence of Western culture, is due to the perpetuation of the pagan doctrines of Rome which they continue to promote. As demonstrated in the Blog article entitled The Enslavement Of Black Liberation Theology, black activists such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, were themselves the very slave owners of the past who they condemn in the present.

Quoting the Blog article entitled The Enslavement Of Black Liberation Theology : How did the thinking of these men get this way? In past lives, most of them were the very white slave owners that they hold the white race accountable for today. Jesus warned that as ye judge, so shall you be judged -- and this is accomplished and brought about by the Laws when you literally become what you judged or oppressed. Thus, in the case of Jeremiah Wright, him and his followers not only became the race that they oppressed, but in the same way that as whites, they abused blacks, as blacks, they hate the white race. Further, their hatred of everything American, is the result of their being the very Confederate forces that opposed the Union with the same vehemence, that we can see in the words of men such as Jeremiah Wright today. Because they exploited blacks, they were born into this present life as African-Americans -- the very form of the people they oppressed and hated in the past. And because they fail to redeem themselves as blacks in the present -- blaming others for the conditions of their birth -- they will continue to switch back and forth from life to life, as aggressor and oppressed, until they see and redeem the error of their ways. And if the Rev. Wright had anything in common with the teachings of Jesus who taught to pray for those who persecute you -- never returning evil for evil -- forgiving those who would be indebted to you -- they would be preaching forgiveness instead of the doctrine of racial hatred. Once properly understood in light of the genuine teachings of Jesus, what the Sermon on the Mount basically is, is a means for those imprisoned, to get out of their self-imposed jail that is maintained by the Laws "...till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26). But to release yourself from the Laws that imprison you, you must once again re-enter the vibration of mind and reality that caused your imprisonment. If you are a thief, then you must see the error of your ways when you are either a thief, or the victim of a thief when you pray for the soul of a thief. If you are a whore, a homosexual, a rapist, a murderer, or what ever in life is your cause of imprisonment -- i.e., (see below) “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26) -- then you can only free yourself when you are in one of the positive or negative cycles that hold you in the loop of Action/Reaction, Cause and Effect. Instead of preaching the hatred of homosexuals, the Rev. Phelps (see http://www.godhatesfags.com/ ) should be praying for their redemption from the shackles that has caused these people to be born a homosexual. Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell should have examined the flaws in the manmade doctrines they were preaching. Bill Clinton should have examined the folly of the Marxist Secular Progressive agenda that he and his wife Hillary have been trying to unleash upon the American people. And in the same way that the Rev. Wright was in all likelihood a white slave owner in the past, the Rev. Phelps was a homosexual. And because they have both rejected the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus which they claim to represent, each will again become what they persecute.

Using a rapist as an example: A rapist, will continue to loop in the positive and negative cycles of rapist and victim -- from life to life -- until which time the rapist sees the error of his ways as a rapist, or prays and forgives a rapist as a victim of rape. Modern medical science has only now come to understand that behavior -- even criminal behavior -- is programmed into the DNA and genes of a person -- and this programming is the Laws which have brought the chickens home to roost in the life of every individual. And this is true of all the conditions of life that most people despise. In the above case of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his failure to repent from his own past as a white slave owner -- and the fact in the present, he blames the white race for his own evil that he perpetrated in his more distant past -- his rejection of the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount will continue to hold him in the karmic loop maintained by the Laws. Further, many of the congregation of believers who are praising his gospel of hatred that the Rev. Wright and others presently preach, were the very Confederate soldiers who opposed and fought the Union armies. What this means is that what today is known as Black Liberation Theology, will continue to enslave these souls in the future, until they begin to embrace the spiritual concepts of the Sermon on the Mount, and free themselves from the shackles of ignorance.

The Secondary Effect Of The Laws

Secondary Karma

In the above example of the holocaust and the Jews who one of their own holy men -- i.e., Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan -- said were born into that life in order to pay back a karmic debt (see Chickens), not all six million Jews had actually murdered people in the past. Yet, because they acted in concert with their leaders, they inherited what can be called secondary karma because they supported those who did. Often, support equates to acting in concert. In the case of present day black activists such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (see Black Liberation Theology), while many in his congregation were not slave owners, they supported the ownership of slaves. The vast majority of confederate soldiers who supported slavery, were not themselves slave owners -- and yet, they have inherited the secondary karma by virtue of either their support of the institution of slavery, or their complacency to it. So, while people such as Jeremiah Wright are preaching race hatred, and blaming the white race for the plight of the blacks in his congregations, in the same way that these souls supported the institution of slavery when they were white, they are now black and have inherited what they oppressed in the past.

Why are people born under oppressive regimens such as Castro's Cuba, Stalin's Russia, Communist China, and all the other dictators throughout history? Left leaning America coddles Castro -- and they see him as a champion of Marxism. And while there are those in America who actively support Castro, there is a greater mass of people who who support and empower these activists. In the future, they will be born into a Castro type regime where the activists will become the most oppressed, and those who supported the left leaning activists will be there as part of the equation. In order for the leaders who are the actual perpetrators to play out their karma -- which often requires a reversal of roles -- on the stage of this life, the secondary people who are often victims, are necessary in order to create the environment to where the karma can be played out. If there were no Cuban people, then Castro and his henchmen could not play out their karmic roles. If there were no poor and oppressed blacks, then Jeremiah Wright would have no one to preach to. If there were no Russian people, then Stalin could not have ruled over one of the most oppressive regimes in man's history. Often, the backdrop of people who become the victims of these oppressive regimes, are those who either supported these causes in previous lives, or were complacent to them.

If the Laws as presented in the above brought instant action against either an individual or group of people, then no real lessons would be learned in this, God's School House for His prodigal sons and daughters. In the same way that you very quickly learn not to touch a hot stove, if each time that you judged, persecuted or oppressed another person, the Laws instantly returned to you the fruit of your own actions, then no real lessons would be learned. If every test a school child took was an open book test, then the student would never learn to think, analyze and develop the mind. They would simply learn to retrieve the answer, and respond in a parrot like manner to the test. And in this world the lessons of life can only be learned, when the prodigal sons and daughters dwell under the illusion that there is no retributive action. The instant reaction of the Laws would be seen in touching a hot stove. A smoker does not immediately die of cancer -- the earth did not instantly become polluted when toxins were emitted in the atmosphere -- the ocean did not instantly become polluted when barges filled with garbage were first dumped in the ocean -- and in the same way, some lessons in life require a person of a group of persons to be born into the circumstances that their own actions have created in the past. If the Laws reacted to our actions instantly, then the more important lessons in life would never be learned. Often, these important lessons can only be learned when we walk in the same shoes as those who we owe a debt to by virtue of our judgments, persecutions, or the wrongs that we have perpetrated upon others -- i.e., as the prodigal sons, our own brothers and sisters. The Law is portrayed in the words: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV). But if the Laws of God that bring all experiences about in this world initiated an instantaneous response to our actions, then the prodigal sons and daughters would not be able to learn their most important lessons that will eventually perfect and make them Whole -- i.e., "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matt. 5:48).

In our present time a great number of people have inherited vast freedoms and liberties to pursue their own destiny by virtue of the blood that was sacrificed by our forefathers who secured these freedoms -- often with their own lives. The question then becomes: What have these people accomplished with this gift of freedom, liberty and personal rights? In the parable of the Talents (see Talents), each person is provided in accord with their own past accomplishments -- i.e., "And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey" (Matt 25:15 NKJ). And as the Church Father Origen wrote: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (see Chickens Come Home To Roost) . And, as futher explained by Origen: "...and that consequently every vessel [person], according to the measure of its purity or impurity, received a place, or region, or condition by birth, or an office to discharge, in this world... The conclusion from which, accordingly, is this, that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor" (see The Early Church On Predestination). While most Americans have inherited the gift of freedom and liberty by virtue of the blood our the forefathers and Constitutional framers, most of them have squandered this opportunity away -- like the prodigal son portrayed in the parable. And in the reversal of the Laws, this is how people are born into oppressive regimes -- and this is why there is what man calls evil in the world. The vast majority of people inherit these often horrendous lives, by either supporting those who deny the rights of others, or are complacent to evil. Over the course of countless lifetimes of inheriting one's own past, the prodigal sons begin to awaken to a higher calling -- a higher morality -- a higher spiritual quest.

Most men and women can't get their marriages to manifest higher fruit, because they have been neglecting these same spouses over the course of eons of lifetimes. Men use women, women use men -- and the karmic trail goes on, and on, and on. Few people are willing to live their highest ideal and break free of the shackles of the Laws and the "outer darkness" (see Outer Darkness ). The Ten Commandments warns not to covert what belongs to your neighbor -- because each soul is born into life in the exact conditions that their own past actions has orchestrated and brought about. And this breaking of one's own past karma, is the reason why Jesus taught to turn the other cheek -- forgive and pray for those who persecute you -- and often, this is the only way to break the karmic cycles that enslave.

In the example I give in the Blog entry on Jeremiah Wright's Black Liberation Theology: If it is true that the Laws have reversed Jeremiah Wright from being a slave owner who lived off the labors of slaves, to a preacher who is now living off the blacks who in the past as white southerners supported the institution of slavery, and now have inherited what they themselves supported and perpetrated against Africans in the past -- then to break the karmic cycle, they should be embracing the example of Jesus, and they should be praying for those who they believe are oppressing them. Their present course of action will merely continue the karmic chain that has shackled them over the course of lifetimes. And while they, themselves, may not have owned slaves, they either supported the institution of slavery, or were complacent to it. But in this example we can see the plight of each and every person -- all of whom have inherited the fruit of their own ways in their own more distant past: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).

Leaders As Catalysts For The Laws

The Reason And Nature Of Evil

While religious and non-religious philosophers have forever bloviated on the cause and nature of evil, because they lack any functional understanding of either their own divided reality, the journey of the soul, and the Laws which bring about the higher objective of this journey, few people possess any real understanding of what is called evil. Where our modern cultural mindset is driven by ideological philosophers who pontificate from the vision of how they would like the world to be -- while remaining totally ignorant of their own divided natures and realities -- the vast multitude of people are truly the blind being led by the blind. On the other hand, while the the ancients and visionary mystics of the past understood man's true reality, the people in our modern culture do not possess the perception and insight to even understand the scriptural writings that have been placed in their hands. But what man portrays as evil, is merely the Law that returns to each person the fruit of their own actions and ways.

While Paul correctly stated that it is necessary to "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV), one of the realities that he is conveying to the people is the fact that man has a lower earthly nature that must be transformed. And this is stated to the degree that Paul warned: “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Rom 8:13 KJV). Yet, our modern-day philosophers -- both religious and non-religious -- remain totally ignorant of the reality of this lower nature that has the potential to deprive the people of Life. And the fact that both our modern cultural religious and non-religious leaders fail to understand the reality of human nature which is divided across a multitude of seven kingdoms, man's ignorance of self is depriving the prodigal sons and daughters of their true inheritance.

In order to create and play a great symphony, a multitude of musicians must take instruments in hand, and come together to play in harmony. We can't just simply randomly grab people off the street, place instruments in their hands, and expect them to play a selection of a master composer. But more importantly, before a multitude of musicians can even begin to come together, each of the musicians must perfect the playing of their own individual instruments. And what is true of musicians playing a great symphony, is in like manner true of the reality of the soul whose destiny is to mature and evolve to a state of Wholeness and Completion.

Unlike our modern-day (religions/non-religious) philosophers, the authors of the scriptures we have inherited were not ignorant of man's divided reality -- and when the Key of Knowledge (see Key of Knowledge) that Jesus condemned the Pharisees for throwing away, is properly applied by turning the scriptures within self, and understanding them as a blueprint of one's own mind and being, only then can a seeker begin to find both Truth and their own higher soul-reality. And in the same way that there is a multitude of people portrayed in the textual body of the written word of the scriptures, this same multitude exists within the mind and psyche of every individual person. And the pattern of the mind is presented in what the biblical authors portrayed as the Tree of Life which is presented at the right. As stated on the Nazirene web site ( http://Nazirene.org ): "Unless the Son of God personally teaches you the meaning of these symbols, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God." The true spiritual objective of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay is not the blind belief that is preached in the Churches today -- but rather, to prepare the body and the mind in order to bring about the necessary spiritual transformation that enables the believer and disciple to learn directly from what the Ebionite disciples of Jesus and TheWay portrayed as The True Prophet (see True Prophet). To the degree that the disciple Peter warned: “Hence, O beloved Clement, if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows anything, he has received it from Him or from His disciples”. And it is this spiritual reality that is presented in the words: "It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me" (John 6:45 NIV). This is why Jesus commanded his disciples not to be called teacher or rabbi -- because their is One Teacher, and unless you live the necessary life and manifest the necessary Wholeness of mind to enter and dwell in the Inner Kingdom (see http://GateOfEden.com ) and learn directly from the True Prophet within, then you possess no real enduring knowledge of any substance beyond the organic limitations of this world.

As a prodigal son who is lost in this, the Far Country, the return trip to the Kingdom is accomplished through the development and evolutionary expansion of the mind. The soul who lived as the historical Jesus, is not only our elder brother as he, himself stated -- i.e., "Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God'" (John 20:17 NIV) -- and he was in fact the first of the prodigal sons who overcame the Laws, and returned to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination. That Constantine, and the Church of Rome recreated Jesus as a pagan god (see The Christian Judas) -- typical of the pagan gods that had been worshiped in the Gentile world -- and edited the scriptures in order to make the Bible support the pagan doctrines of Rome (see Bible Corruption) -- is a reality that has inhibited believers from knowing the spiritual essence of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay.

The objective of Constantine and a very secularized Church, was to insure that the people were subjects to the state -- and remained in mental subjugation to the government ordained body of priests. Where the essence of the original teachings of Jesus and TheWay was the development and expansion of the mind so that the lost prodigal sons could break free of the "Citizen... of the Far Country", -- i.e., the Power and Prince of the Left Hand which Paul portrayed as the god of this world -- this original objective and goal of the Gospel teachings had to be totally suppressed in order to maintain the people as subjects to the state -- with their thinking in total subjugation to the body of priests. And thus, the original Ebionite Nazirene Disciples, and the Spiritual (Gnostic) Christians, were hunted down as heretics (see The Death Of The Religion Of Jesus). And as predicted by the biblical authors, what Paul portrayed as the satanic god of this world ruled over the Church that called itself Christian, and the believers worshiped the AntiChrist (see Church Of The AntiChrist). And while most Christians today continue to dwell in denial of this fact, what they fail to recognize is that the corruption of the Gospel and the scriptures was necessary in order to reach a greater number of the lost prodigal sons (see The Necessity Of The Church Of The AntiChrist).

While it is impossible for the lost prodigal sons who dwell under the influence and control of the "Citizen... of the Far Country" to comprehend the higher reality of their own soul and the Kingdom of God (see Why The Truth Of The Gospel Can't Be Written Literally), because the minor mysteries of the Kingdom were concealed in both the parables, and the allegory of the healings, these important concepts remain preserved even though many of the more spiritual teachings were removed by the Church (see Bible Corruption). And one of the most important and ignored realities is presented in the words: “If any of you really determines to do God’s will, then you will certainly know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own” (John 7:17 TLB). In the parable of the prodigal son, after squandering away his inheritance and coming under the control of the "Citizen... of the Far Country", -- the prodigal son who dwells in what is portrayed as the "outer darkness" (see Outer Darkness) -- where he is portrayed as being dead -- i.e., "...let the dead bury their dead" (Matt 8:22). And this condition of death is confirmed in the words: "For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found" (Luke 15:24). Being (spiritually) dead, and having squandered away their inheritance and dwelling in the "outer darkness", mankind is oblivious to the lower three earthly kingdoms which rule over his body and organic mindset, and he remains totally disconnected from the higher three earthly kingdoms which is the source of his essence of being. With the problem being that, without transforming the lower carnal/animal earthly nature, organic man remains totally disconnected from the higher three heavenly natures. And thus, the secret to his plight in this, the Far Country, is to do the Will of God in order to bring about the transformation of the lower three earthly kingdom -- i.e., "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature".

The Seven Kingdoms: The secret to man's dilemma as the lost prodigal son, is found in the Star of David once it is overlain on the pattern of mind portrayed in the Tree of Life. And within what is portrayed in this symbol, lies the Answer to man's Destiny. In the same way that the Tree of Life portrays the twelve spheres of mind that is allegorically presented in the twelve disciples of Jesus, the Star of David in like manner has six outer points and six inner points. And what is actually portrayed in the symbolism, is the Wholeness and Completion of mind and being. When Jesus taught that the Law must be fulfilled -- i.e., "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled" (Matt 5:17-18 NKJ) -- what he was making reference to was the Fulfillment of the Laws as portrayed in this diagram at the right. As presented in the words of the early Church writer Hippolytus, the Ebionite Disciples affirmed that Jesus "was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ." Hence "when Ebionites thus fulfill the law, they are able to become Christs, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity." (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). And that the Greeks and Romans who called themselves Orthodox, were too heathen to comprehend the inner meaning of the Law and the scriptures -- and this condition of Absolute Ignorance which causes them to worship the AntiChrist, they have brought upon themselves by rejecting and denouncing the Law that Jesus warned is still in effect. Thus, because they reject the Law, Jesus warned: "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 5:19-20 NKJ).

The mind and consciousness of man is focused in the fourth kingdom -- three earthly kingdoms beneath him, and three heavenly kingdoms above him. And in his very narrow spectrum of vision, perception and understanding, he is oblivious to the other six kingdoms that make up his mind and being. One of the most important teachings on the Kingdom that was removed from the Bible (see Bible Corruption), is still preserved in the Second Epistle of Clement which reads: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour, the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”. In the Divine Pattern (see Divine Marriage), all aspects of Creation dwell within the pattern of male/female and third-force balance. The forbidden Tree of Duality (aka Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), is the outer male/female columns of the Tree of Life -- and the division of the columns, divides the top heavenly point, from the bottom earthly point.

The Illusion Of The Demiurge: While in man's more distant past it was in many ways more difficult to demonstrate the enlightened vision of what Jesus and his disciples taught with respect to the Laws that imprison, and the Power of the Left Hand which is portrayed as the "Citizen.. of the Far Country" to totally control the thinking of the lost prodigal sons and daughters who dwell in a world of illusion -- under the Power of what Paul portrayed as the god of this world -- but this is no longer the case today. In the analogy of Plato's Cave (see Cave), those few who escape the illusion of this world -- who attempt to then return and convey to others what they saw and experienced when they escaped the illusion of this seemingly material world -- were condemned as "madmen" -- much like Paul portrayed the fact that the believers of the simple faith will judge and condemn the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom as utter "foolishness"!!!

In the article entitled Science Proves Religion, there are a number of important quotations from modern quantum physicists that if of the utmost importance to understand:

“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”. The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav.

“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” (Astronomer James Jeans)

“The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff” (Astronomer Arthur Eddington)

More recently, described as “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.” (Cyberneticist David Foster)

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.

“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” (William A. Tiller, Materials Sciences Department, Stanford University)

In failing to understand the very nature of good and evil, few people can make any gains at achieving the primary objectives of the life they are living. And while there is a necessary reason for the existence of all things, few people possess the vision and knowledge to perceive and understand the reality of this world. @HERE

One of the primary essentials of the scriptures and especially the teachings of Jesus, is the proper actions. In what has been called The Epistles of Christ Unto The Churches, it has been noted that modern Christianity is so far in opposition to what Jesus actually taught, that “...it is impossible, if the canons of the Church be followed, for these epistles ever to be read in the public services”.

In total contradiction to modern Christian doctrine, the criteria of judgment that will be used for the followers of Messiah/Christ is not passive faith, or philosophical belief -- but rather, the criteria is the peoples “works” -- i.e., what they accomplish with their lives -- and it is used in this fashion eighteen times in The Epistles of Christ. At Revelation 3:2 we find an example of one of the main differences in the religious perspective of the first century followers of Jesus -- those who knew him, and personally sat at his feet and learned the requirements to enter the Kingdom -- and what we believe today: “for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God” (Rev 3:2 ASV). All genuine Christians must therefore ask the question: What does it mean when Jesus condemns the people because they failed to have “perfected works” -- which in many other translations is rendered “completed works”? From the perspective of what Jesus taught his faithful disciples, completed and perfected works is demonstrated by their ability to enter into the inner (Luke 17:20-21 @ http://GateOfEden.com ) parallel realm that he called Heaven, and another realm he called the Kingdom of God, and be spiritually pure enough to sit in the House and be taught by the One Teacher. To follow Christ, literally means to go to where the Master is. Since the Master is in the Kingdom, then we cannot be his followers if we are not with him. Thus, the term “works”, takes on a whole different dimension that neither the Sadducees, Pharisees, the Church of Rome, nor the modern believer is able to comprehend. And when this reality is understood, Paul was 100% correct to proclaim that believers can't find salvation in the ritual works of the Law. Yet, because those who read the Bible are of a carnal mindset and lifestyle, the reality that Paul is attempting to convey is beyond their ability to even imagine. Thus, while Paul condemned the rituals of the carnal Jews, he emphatically warned of the necessity of the works of the spirit that opens the inner "narrow gate" to the Kingdom.

The profound Truth that Jesus taught, was that every encounter in the outer world is a test -- and all tests are presented as opportunities -- to invoke the Laws that begin to open the inner door to the Kingdom, and expand the mind and consciousness of the believer/disciple to grasp the higher reality of all things in this and the inner world that he declared. What this means is that the people who Christians call sinners -- as well as the perpetual evils that we observe in the world as the Laws return to each person and group of people the fruit of their own thinking, actions and ways -- are maintained in the unspiritual manner that we observe in the outer world, as a test for those who are worthy to gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom ( http://GateOfEden.com ). In portraying those who gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom, in relation to those who remain in this, the "Far Country... outer darkness", the end of the Revelation states: "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). Thus, not only are those who are portrayed as the "...dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie" perpetually maintained by the Laws in this, the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- forever inheriting the fruit of their own actions and ways -- but they go from life to life under the control of what Jesus portrayed as the "Citizen of the... Far Country" in the parable of the prodigal son.

In the article Science Proves Religion (see http://UnityOfMind.org ) it is demonstrated that what is called the underlying Etheric Field that surrounds all physical matter, lies the Source of not only what you see and perceive, but of all events that transpire in this world. And what the findings of modern quantum physics have proven, is that reality is in reverse of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. But more importantly is to understand that the life that everyone is living is like a Labyrinth which has been created by the Laws -- and every person as well as every encounter in the outer world, invokes Laws which directly effect our future -- both in the present life, and the future lives which are to come.

What does the Bible actually teach? Jesus warned that every encounter with respect to each and very word that one speaks, will be used as a judge to test every person -- i.e., "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment" (Matt 12:36 KJV). Paul warned to bring every thought to Christ -- i.e., "…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5 NIV). The brother of Jesus and first leader of the New Covenant Congregation taught to bring the whole of the body under control -- i.e., "…bridle the whole body" (James 3:2 KJV). And Paul went as far as teaching the necessity to put to death one's earthly nature and the appetites of the flesh -- i.e., "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV). To the degree that Paul warned: “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Rom 8:13 KJV).

The True Prophet

A Time For Truth

Excerpt From The Three Lies

http://TheThreeLies.com

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all teach the same essential Truth -- that each of us must make our body-vessel a Living Temple -- a Living Church -- or a Living Mosque -- is it is this essential truth which was originally taught by all three religions prior to being corrupted by carnal religious leaders. And that the historical Yeshua was able to accomplish this within himself, is demonstrated where it is written of the Ebionites that they taught that Yeshua/Jesus was in “supernatural union of a man and God... In their eyes, Jesus of Nazareth was a mere mortal, the legitimate son of Joseph and Mary: but he was the best and wisest of the human race, selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon earth the worship of the true and supreme Deity. When he was baptized in the Jordan, the Christ, the first of the aeons, the Son of God himself, descended on Jesus in the form of a dove, to inhabit his mind, and direct his actions during the allotted period of his ministry” (Gibbon; The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, V.4, P.366 -- see http://Ebionite.com ).

A Suppressed Truth: (The Castration of the Wikipedia) That Yeshua/Jesus became One with the Indwelling Logos -- and that he taught his disciples to do the same -- is a suppressed truth that will not even be published by most reference resources today. There is an important statement pertaining to the Ebionites with respect to what the original Disciples of Yeshua believed that he "was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ." Hence "when Ebionites thus fulfill the law, they are able to become Christs, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity." (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). And what this means is that each and every person reading these words, is not only the brother or sister of Yeshua, but that as the prodigal sons and daughters of their Heavenly Father-God, they have the same potential and destiny when they too fulfill the Law within themselves. And in the same way that this important teaching of Yeshua and his Ebionite Disciples was suppressed by the Church, so too does modern reference resources such as the Wikipedia suppress this teaching. On their Ebionite page (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebionite ), not only is this essential teaching suppressed, but they have themselves attempted to portray the Ebionites as ignorant Judaizers (see The Lie). While the Wikipedia promotes the personal anti-Yeshua/Jesus and anti-Christian views of Shemayah Phillips (see Article) -- a one time Baptist clergy who decided that Christianity was pagan and non-biblical, so he decided he was an Ebionite and that Jesus was just a prophet that wanted social change because he cannot comprehend the reality of the Inner Spiritual Kingdom (see Gate of Eden) -- Wikipedia has censored both the historical record and the Spiritual Restoration Movement found on http://Ebionite.com -- and the Wikipedia deletion of the article on the Spiritual Ebionites (see Article). Why does the Wikipedia and many other reference resources censor the truth and the facts? Because they fail to heed Paul's warning that Truth is inconceivable from the perspective of the organic mindset of natural man (see Letter That Killeth). Throughout the Bible it is warned that the very Laws of God will inhibit carnal man's perception and understanding of both the scriptures and all of life, unless he has himself fulfilled the Law and overcome (see Divine Strategery). And the inability of Shemayah Phillips to perceive and understand spiritual concepts, and the suppression of the facts, is the primary cause of both the corruption of the scriptures (see Bible Corruption) and the suppression of the more spiritual concepts and teachings on the Inner Kingdom -- and this suppression of the facts is brought about by the political pressure from other groups who fear the Truth, the Light, and TheWay. That such reference resources as the Wikipedia have been politically castrated, only makes them a tool of ignorance and the world violence that we are experiencing at the present. (For a similar example of the castration of the Encyclopedia Britannica, see link to Armageddon Lost Article).

That all the disciples and followers of Yeshua/Jesus were to seek to become Anointed (Messiah/Christ) -- and that through this Anointing they would be taught the Truth from the One Teacher and True Prophet -- is demonstrated in the Epistle of John in the words: "These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him" (I Jn 2:26-27 NKJ). The problem is that this teaching is Pure Gnostic and Spiritual, and the means to receive this Anointing and become One with the Indwelling Logos or True Prophet, has been suppressed by the Institutionalized Church which has replaced these essential spiritual concepts with their own dogma and doctrines of belief.

While all true disciples were to seek the Anointing (Messiah/Christ), it is also true that there is a vast difference between the various degrees of Anointing (Messiah/Christ) that seekers attain to, as they strive to become At-One with the Indwelling Logos. And this is presented in the baptism sequence of the Gospel of the Hebrews/Ebionites in the words: "And it came to pass when the Lord was come up out of the water, the whole fount of the Holy Spirit descended and rested upon him, and said unto him: My son, in all the prophets was I waiting for thee that thou shouldst come, and I might rest in thee. For thou art my rest, thou art my first begotten son, that reignest for ever." To which the Church Father Jerome correctly explains "not partially as in the case of other holy men." And the allegorical portrayal of the resurrection is the final or fourth stage of birth that is presented in the return of the Prodigal Son to the Father in the Kingdom ( http://GateOfEden.com ), or what is presented in the completion of the cycle from the Alpha to the Omega as portrayed in Jewish Mysticism in the Zohar: “All souls are subject to the trials of transmigration; and men do not know the designs of the Most High with regard to them… The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence they have emerged. But to accomplish this end they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God”.

As the disciple or seeker of Truth draws near to what Yeshua portrayed as the Kingdom within ( http://GateOfEden.com ), they would receive various levels of the Anointing which would open their minds and teach and reveal to them the Mysteries of God that Yeshua concealed within the parables -- and remains concealed within the allegorical symbols of the scriptures that few modern Jews, Christians or Muslims see or understand. This inner essence of God that exists within each of us which is referred to as the Logos/Son of God, was referred to as the True Prophet by the disciples and early followers of Yeshua and TheWay. And this is why Yeshua stated that there is only One Teacher, and all of mankind are equally brothers and sisters who must learn from the True Prophet within them. And in the Homilies of Peter's disciple Clement, this is why Peter is quoted as saying to his own disciple: “Hence, O beloved Clement, if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows anything, he has received it from Him or from His disciples”. And it is this spiritual reality that is presented in the words: "It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me" (John 6:45 NIV). So the question then becomes: How is one taught by God? Directly? Which is why it is written in the New Testament that there is only one way -- but this is not understood by the modern Jew who is ignorant of how to make their body a Living Temple -- and neither is it understood by the modern Christian Church which continues to embrace the doctrines of Constantine -- or the modern Muslim who looks to the Qur'an of this world. With respect to the One Teacher (Mt 23:8), or True Prophet, this same Truth can be demonstrated using the first century witness known as the Recognitions of Clement, where St. Clement quotes the teachings of the Apostle Peter. In chapter 59, under the heading of The True Prophet, Clement writes: “But I would not have you think, that in saying this I take away the power of judging concerning things; but I give counsel that no one walk through devious places, and rush into errors without end. And therefore I advise not only wise men, but indeed all men who have a desire of knowing what is advantageous to them, that they seek after the true Prophet; for it is He alone who knoweth all things, and who knoweth what and how every man is seeking. For He is within the mind of every one of us, but in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is inoperative; but He works in those who seek after that which is profitable to their souls, and kindles in them the light of knowledge. Wherefore seek Him first of all; and if you do not find Him, expect not that you shall learn anything from any other. But He is soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth, and whose souls are not taken possession of by wickedness. For He is present with those who desire Him in the innocence of their spirits, who bear patiently, and draw sighs from the bottom of their hearts through love of the truth; but He deserts malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the thoughts of every one. And therefore let no one think that he can find Him by his own wisdom, unless, as we have said, he empty his mind of all wickedness, and conceive a pure and faithful desire to know Him. For when any one has so prepared himself, He Himself as a prophet, seeing a mind prepared for Him, of His own accord offers Himself to his knowledge”.

What does Peter say to us in these words? That the True Prophet “is within the mind of every one of us”. This concept is Spiritual -- it was condemned as Gnostic heresy by the Church of Rome -- while it is generally embraced by many Sufis, it has been condemned by mainstream spiritually disenfranchised Muslims -- and this important concept is the foundation of the Living Temple/Church/Mosque that the has been inaugurated among the three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Yeshua/Jesus warned his followers not to go to a teacher or religious authority in this world -- even when that teacher or authority says that he knows the Messiah/Christ -- or claims to be a prophet. What is very clear in these words which are common to all three religions, is that True Seekers were not to learn from men -- who themselves do not know -- and in true Spiritual-Gnostic fashion, they were only to go to the Source of all Knowledge, the True Prophet (see http://DivineManna.org ).

The Apostle Paul wrote that the baptized entry-level believers at Corinth did not know the Gospel of God, and could not be taught the Mysteries and of the Kingdom, because they were too carnal to receive them. Quoting the Being of Light web site ( http://BeingOfLight.com ): Paul states: I will “...tell about the visions I've had, and revelations from the Lord. Fourteen years ago I was taken up to heaven for a visit. Don't ask me whether my body was there or just my spirit, for I don't know; only God can answer that. But anyway, there I was in paradise, and heard things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words (and anyway I am not allowed to tell them to others)” (2 Cor 12:1-4 TLB). What did Paul see and experience that was not only beyond natural man's ability to comprehend, but was not lawful to tell what he saw to others? In the Martyrdom of Ignatius (first Century Overseer of Antioch), Ignatius speaks of himself as a disciple of John. In his Epistle to the Ephesians he writes that he has been “initiated into the mysteries of the Gospel with Paul, the holy, the martyred”. In his Epistle to the Trallaus he speaks of the mysteries and writes: “Might I not write to you things more full of mystery? But I fear to do so, lest I should inflict injury on you who are babes. Pardon me in this respect, lest, as not being able to receive their weighty import, ye should be strangled by them”. Ignatius also writes that though he is aware of the mysteries, he is not yet “by any means perfect, nor am I such a disciple as Paul or Peter”. What preacher of the gospel today warns his congregation that if he was to reveal the true teachings of the New Covenant -- the Gospel of God -- he would “inflict injury on you who are babes” in Christ? What teaching of the Lord could a present-day preacher of the gospel reveal that the congregation of believers are not “able to receive their weighty import”? If Ignatius or the other early Church Fathers who knew the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God were with us today, what profound mystery could they speak regarding the true teachings of Jesus that believers today would be “strangled by them”?

This great dilemma that Paul wrote about -- and has been continually ignored by the majority of Christians throughout history -- was explained by Peter when his disciple Clement wrote his warning to believers: “…and if you do not find Him, expect not that you shall learn anything from any other”.

From a first century Christian perspective, there is only one way that you can learn and know the truth, and that is through your own inner dormant spiritual nature. “Expect not that you shall learn anything”, says Peter, if you attempt to learn from the doctrines of men -- even when these men are the leaders of your church, synagogue, mosque, or temple. Why? Because Yeshua himself commanded: “But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren” (Matt 23:8 NKJ). And when rightly understood, the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay present to the true seeker how they each may be "...taught by God" (John 6:45 NIV). The problem is that in order to bring this condition about, the Prodigal Sons must arise from the ways of this world, release themselves from the control of what is portrayed as the "citizen of the far country", which Paul portrayed as the god of this world, and they must themselves accomplish the required completion that Yeshua did within himself, which is noted at Matt. 5:48. In the words of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa: “…it is imperative on all those who have an equally earnest desire for the Good as He has, to be followers by the path of an exact imitation of Him Who leads the way to salvation, and to carry into action what He has shown them. It is, in fact impossible for persons to reach the same goal unless they travel by the same ways”.

This is why it is written in the Gospel of Thomas ( http://DivineManna.org ): "But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty... Whoever finds himself is superior to the world". And the finding of self is the primary objective of all scriptures. And when we add to this the statement from the Gospel of Philip that "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live,¹ they will not receive anything (when) they die" Quoting the Being of Light ( http://BeingOfLight.com ) web site: 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”. This statement should provoke great thought in the reader who is under the misconception that our Heavenly Father would destroy or forever cut off one of his sons or daughters who are lost in this world. If the whole of our race will one day be perfected from the first man to the last, then there are many grave misconceptions on the part of believers today. The reason these great truths are no longer the focus of the modern church is best captured in the words of A. Powell Davies: “Biblical scholars”, he writes, ”were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been” (quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls)... When God, in the words of St. Nazianzen, no longer is an “object of wonder”, but rather an “object of desire” -- and we, desiring to be purified from the defilements of this world, make ourselves fit vessels for the Lord to indwell, the Spirit, according to St. Nazianzen, reveals to us our true nature, and the revelation of this manifest Sacred Knowledge makes “us like God; so that when we have thus become like Himself, God may, to use a bold expression, hold converse with us as Gods, being united to us, and that perhaps to the same extent as He already knows those who are known to Him”. St. Nazianzen then writes that “the Divine Nature then is boundless and hard to understand” by those who are yet carnal and think as natural beings of this world.

The Virgin Birth

The word Christian, or the lesser levels of the Anointing of the mind, can in many ways be thought of as elementary. The lesser levels of this Anointing represents the initial stages of the Spiritual Path of TheWay -- which while not rightly understood, is the foundation of Spirituality -- and one of the primary objectives of spirituality, is to be taught by the True Prophet/Logos/Son of God -- and this spiritually experiential knowledge in Greek is called Gnosis. To accomplish what the historical man Yeshua did in his total fulfillment of the Royal Law within himself -- and achieving total Oneness with the indwelling Logos/Son of God, can in no way be likened to the lesser levels of the Anointing of the mind. Thus, when people speak of Christ Consciousness, what they are making reference to has little in common with the fulfillment of the Law and Oneness with the Indwelling Logos in what the historical Yeshua/Jesus achieved to become the pattern for all of mankind.

Yeshua taught that we must be Born Again of the Spirit -- and yet, few people of a carnal mindset ever make the relationship between the fact that in order to achieve birth, you must have a Mother and Father. With regard to the mystery of the virgin birth, St. Gregory writes: “…we conclude that the power of the Highest, coalescing with our entire nature by that coming upon (the Virgin) of the Holy Ghost, both resides in our soul, so far as reason sees it possible that it should reside there, and is blended with our body, so that our salvation throughout every element may be perfect”. What this means is that the True Disciple of Yeshua and TheWay, must themselves be born of the virgin in order to fulfill the Law and bring about the return of the prodigal sons and daughters to the Edenic Kingdom (see Gate Of Eden). That the carnal Christians of the 2nd and 3rd centuries who were the body of believers of the gentile Church did not understand the meaning of the virgin birth, is because they were too heathen to comprehend the spiritual meaning of the scriptures.

The most widely read and used biblical book among the earliest gentile Christians was the Shepherd of Hermas (see Shepherd) which was suppressed by the later 4th century church. In the Shepherd of Hermas a reference is made to a tower, of which it is written: “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 a Jew, Christian or Muslim, 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”. These spiritual powers can only be received by those who pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay, and themselves achieve the next stage of soul-birth -- and are born from the Virgin. In the Gospel According to the Hebrews which was used by the Ebionites, this important concept was explored: "It is written in the Gospel to the Hebrews that when Christ wished to come upon the earth to men, the good Father called a mighty power in the heavens which was called Michael, and committed Christ to the care thereof. And the power came down into the world and it was called Mary...." (Cyril of Jerusalem, Discourse on Mary Theotokos) In the Gospel Yeshua speaks of his mother: "My mother the Holy Spirit." Which means that the Virgin Mary was not a person -- but rather, is the Power sent forth from the Father to those who overcome the Laws, and are able to achieve the next stage of soul-birth -- and thus, their second birth is not of physical woman, but of the Virgin of the Holy Spirit.

That the carnal Christians of an organic mind were incapable of understanding the teaching that Yeshua/Jesus was born of human parents -- and it was his Ultimate Spiritual birth that was of the virgin -- is readily seen in the confusion of the fourth century Christian Epiphanius, who confesses that he is totally ignorant as to the true beliefs of the Ebionites. "Dropping the name of Jesus," says the Bishop of Salamis, "they either call themselves Iessaens, nor continue to hold the name of the Jews, nor name themselves Christians, but Nazarenes ... The resurrection of the dead is confessed by them ... concerning Christ, I cannot say whether they think him a mere man, or as the truth is, confess that he was born through the Holy Pneuma from the Virgin." It was simply beyond his comprehension that both positions could be true -- i.e., while Yeshua was the natural offspring of human parents, when he fulfilled the Royal Law within himself, he was born of the Virgin which is the Holy Spirit. And the fact that as St. Gregory writes, that each Disciple of Yeshua must themselves be born of the Spirit, is simply beyond their carnal and organic comprehension -- as is the case of the believers of the simple faith even today.

“Verily I say unto thee,

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God…

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”

It can be said that the whole of the Bible focus and objectives -- Torah, Old and New Testaments, as well as all texts which are portrayed as Gnostic -- is to fulfill and bring about the next stage of birth which is portrayed in the above words. Belief and faith is only valid, when your belief and faith is focused on bringing about the next stage of birth. Knowledge -- or Spiritual Knowledge as portrayed in the Greek word Gnosis -- is only valid when it serves the objective of bringing about the next stage of birth. This next stage of birth cannot be achieved by saying a personal prayer to Jesus as the Christians believe -- neither can it be achieved by the outward ritual works of the Law as Paul rejected -- this next stage of birth is represented in the return to Eden (see http://GateOfEden.com ), and is embodied in the words: "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22 NKJ).

what is presented in the End Times (see End Times above), is merely an allegorical portrayal of the next stages of birth. And the fact that both Jews and Christians fail to understand the true meaning of their scriptures, is because they are spiritually blind (see Eyes To See above). And what is portrayed as Armageddon, is nothing more than the "pangs of birth" being portrayed in an allegorical presentation. This can be demonstrated by simply examining how we translate Matthew 24:8, where the King James Bible states that Armageddon is the "…beginning of sorrows"; the New Living Translation states it is "…the beginning of the horrors to come"; with the correct and little used interpretation by those who stand on our street corners proclaiming that we should repent being found in the Revised Standard Version where it reads that "…all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs". (see Armageddon Lost).

Nicodemus - Torah - Biblical Objective: The true meaning of the Torah can be understood in the following account: "There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:1-3 KJV). And when Nicodemus did not grasp the significance and meaning of what Jesus was saying with respect to the absolute need to achieve the next stage of birth -- i.e., soul-birth -- one of the most important biblical exchanges that few understand the significance of ensued: "Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" (John 3:10-12 KJV).

Jesus reacted to Nicodemus' ignorance with respect to the need to achieve the next stage of soul-birth with the words: "...Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?" -- because this is the primary objective of the Torah and all scriptures. And that Nicodemus did not understand, is not only true of all those who believe they are teachers and masters of Israel -- but is because Judaism itself is a surviving ancient Mystery Religion that requires initiation to even begin to understand the true meaning of the Torah and scriptures (see Judaism, The Mystery Religion). And that the Torah is an allegorical portrayal of bringing about the next stage of soul-birth, is why Paul portrayed those who see only the written words of the Torah as the "letter that killeth" (see Letter That Killeth), and correctly warned that their is no salvation in the outward rituals and works of the Law. But that the Law set forth in it's allegorical portrayal contains important knowledge that is necessary to those who strive to bring about the next stage of birth, and enter the Kingdom, is what is presented in the AskMoses.com presentation of the Final Temple (see also Temple @ The Three Lies). That there is absolutely no difference between the true spiritual meaning of the Torah, and the New Covenant scriptures of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay, is seen in the words of the Apostle Peter as preserved in the Homilies of his disciple Clement where it states: "Moreover, if any one has been thought worthy to recognize both as preaching one doctrine, that man has been counted rich in God, understanding both the old things as new in time, and the new things as old.” (see Things Christians Don't Tell Jews About The New Testament). That Jews and Christians alike have been enslaved by the ancient Mystery Religion presentation of the Torah, is the very reason why Yeshua/Jesus came to free the people with the teachings of TheWay -- but these teachings became corrupted under Pagan Rome, who like the Sadducees and Pharisees, threw away the Key Of Knowledge.

The Fulfilling Of The Scriptures: In the above exchange with Nicodemus the ultra-important words are presented that "We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" Yeshua/Jesus does not say that he is a witness in the singular -- but rather, from the perspective of We, Our, and what all those who fulfill the Law within themselves witness as the lost prodigal sons and daughters bring about the next stage of birth, and enter the Inner Kingdom ( http://GateOfEden.com ) while still alive in the physical body-vessel. And this can neither be achieved through the prayerful rhetoric of the Christians, or the outward ritual observance of the Torah by the Jews. And this achieving the next stage of birth by fulfilling the Law within one's self, is the original objective of the scriptures as presented in the teaching that Jesus As presented in the words of the early Church writer Hippolytus, the Ebionite Disciples affirmed that Jesus "was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ." Hence, not only the disciples of Jesus -- but all those who fulfill the Law within themselves, are as the Ebionites who are in the world and not of it -- i.e. "...when Ebionites thus fulfill the law, they are able to become Christs, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity." (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). And this is not only the primary objective of the Torah -- but it's clarification and simplification is the whole purpose of the Gospels. That the Gospel message and objective became lost under Pagan Rome (see The Christian Judas), has had the effect of casting the world into the abyss of Spiritual Darkness since the fourth century when groups of carnal Christians entered into a covenant with the Pagan Emperor Constantine (see The Death Of The Religion Of Jesus).
Necessity of Second Soul-Birth: With the total loss of the Spiritual Essence of the Gospel Message and the failure to understand the true objective of the Torah and Law -- because the seekers no longer comprehend the higher reality of the soul and the Inner Kingdom (see Soul-Birth), the lost prodigal sons and daughters have not only become blind to the spiritual meaning of the Gospels (see Christian Blindness), but in their present lost condition have become totally alienated from the knowledge of their true self (see The Higher Reality Of The Soul). Thus, once properly understood, the warning of Paul confirms what is presented in the Gospel Of Thomas and other suppressed scriptures where it warns in the third saying: "When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty." What is the meaning of the words: "...then you will become known"??? And it is this shocker that all the religions of the world are simply not prepared to understand -- and is one of the most important reasons why Yeshua/Jesus taught that there was only One Way. And you will find this phrase in many other scriptures and writings -- i.e., it is beyond the understanding of the religions of man to comprehend what is being stated in the words: "But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?" (Gal 4:9 NKJ). HOW CAN WE NOT BE KNOWN BY GOD??? The answer is because we exist within the mind of our soul/higher self -- and it is our soul/higher self that exists within the Mind of God and is the creation of God. In the beginning God Created all the souls which are His Offspring -- and the process of soul-evolution and growing to maturity, is brought about by the experiences of learning that are necessary to move from the Alpha of UnKnowing, to the Omega of Knowing.

This higher soul-reality is among the many things that Jesus could not speak of to the multitudes who he portrayed as having received one talent which they failed to grow because they placed what was received in the earth. These people of a natural mind who Paul stated would look upon the Mysteries of God as foolishness -- i.e., “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ) (see Why God Speaks To Man In Allegory And Enigma). Paul then goes on and warns these believers of a natural mind who were baptized and dedicated to Christ: “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS). Thus, these believers could only be taught the doctrine of Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were not yet spiritual men -- but rather, they were men of flesh and still very much “babes in Christ”. Paul then explains that: “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS). To the degree that Paul warned that it was unlawful to reveal the Mysteries of the Kingdom to those who were yet carnal, and of a natural organic mind -- i.e., and revealed the the Mysteries that could only be taught to the disciples who had undergone the process of alchemical spiritual transformation, would witness “…things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words…” -- and after they gaze upon these mysteries, what they have witnessed will be of such a profound nature that they will “…not [be] allowed to tell them to others” (2 Cor 12:4 TLB). Why? Why will the mature disciples of Messiah/Christ not be able to convey to the believers of the simple faith in the Church what they have seen? Because in not having evolved through the process of spiritual transformation, they are still of a carnal mind -- a mindset that Paul warns: The... “carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God... For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Rom 8:7-8;13 NKJ).

When Paul warned that he could only speak to the believers at Corinth as "...men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS), what he was warning was that “Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil” (Heb 5:13-14 NIV). And because they are yet carnal -- not having undergone the alchemical process of spiritual transformation -- Paul warned that “And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:2 NKJ). For if man could simply open the scriptures and be able to discern the Truth, Jesus would not have said of his disciples: “For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it” (Matt 13:17 NIV). But because the vast majority of people who enter this world can only receive one talent, which they perpetually hide in the earth and things of this world, they simply are incapable of comprehending the Mysteries that could only be revealed to the mature mind of the disciple who has himself picked up his own cross and walked in TheWay. And thus, the first century elder Ignatius warns the believers of the simple faith who could only comprehend the entry-level doctrines of the Gospel: “Might I not write to you things more full of mystery? But I fear to do so, lest I should inflict injury on you who are babes. Pardon me in this respect, lest, as not being able to receive their weighty import, ye should be strangled by them”

The Abyss Of Darkness And Ignorance: As stated under the title of Know Thyself, the concept of the Christians that they will physically die and go to Glory, is a counterfeit doctrine -- because, having been rendered spiritually impotent by the adoption of the doctrines of Pagan Rome, they are very much as spiritually unfertilized ovum that cannot achieve the next stage of birth. In like manner, because the Eastern and New Age religions fail to understand the reality of the higher soul-self, their whole concept of reincarnation is counterfeit (see Reincarnation, A Counterfeit Doctrine Of Belief). the result is that because of the destruction of the teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay, the whole world have been cast into the abyss of dark ignorance that they have yet to emerge from since the fourth century. In no longer understanding the concepts and need to bring about the next stage of birth as Yeshua/Jesus taught, the vast majority of believers of all the world's religions are walking the "broad-way... of self-destruction" (see http://GateOfEden.com ).
As Yeshua/Jesus taught, the next stage of birth is not of the flesh -- but rather, of the spirit: "...That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”.
That each disciple who travails in TheWay -- and in striving to bring about what is portrayed in the allegory of the End Times within themselves, initiates the spiritual tribulation portrayed as pangs of birth: "…all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs" -- the objective is to bring about the necessary Virgin Birth. Joseph, which being the eleventh son of Jacob/Israel, represents the Generative Power of God in the Kingdom -- and these represent universal allegorical symbols that must be brought about within the body, mind/soul and spirit of all Jews and Christians who seek the Kingdom. That Yeshua/Jesus himself fulfilled the Law within himself, and became One with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God who the disciples called the True Prophet, does not make Jesus God -- but rather, the pattern that all the prodigal sons and daughters must follow in TheWay. Which confirms that history reveals in that, those who were taught directly by Yeshua, believed that Yeshua became the Messiah of God by virtue of a “...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). Which means that in worshiping Jesus instead of imitating him as the pattern for all to follow, modern Christians have reduced themselves to a people who worship a false god and are turned out of TheWay

True Spiritual seekers of TheWay who seek the Divine Manna of inner gnosis, are those who were prisoners, and escape from the cave. Unlike the multitudes, they are willing to seek the Truth over the carnal doctrines of men which chain them to the environment of the cave, and are willing to live the necessary life that enables them to transcend the limitations of this world. The Sacred Manna or Gnosis is the experiential knowledge they learn when they go out of what is portrayed as the cave of this world, and into the inner reality which is portrayed by Plato as the light of the sun and behold true reality. Then, when they try to go back into the cave and tell the other captives the truth, they are mocked as madmen. This fact you can observe throughout the history of man, as well as in the present time. We are all initially prisoners and this tangible world that we perceive as physical reality is our cave. And while the spiritual path of the Gnostic begins when one who was a prisoner escapes out into the sun, this is in effect only the beginning of the journey as the mature soul begins to amass gnosis, which is purely spiritual knowledge gained as they ascend into the true Light of true reality.

What is equally interesting is the literal interpretation of Plato's tale: The idea that reality could be represented completely as "shadows" on the walls. The true visionary and mystic knows that reality exists in another dimension beyond our vision, but we are so hypnotized by the world of shadows, that we fail to perceive the inner reality that is the source of everything in the life that we live. The scriptures, though, possess a dimension that the believer is totally unaware of -- i.e., as with all writings of true spiritual men and women, the scriptures present an allegorical form in the written word that acts as catalysts which assist the seeker to break loose of the world of shadows, and connect with this inner reality that the vast majority of people are blind to. But for the scriptures to function as designed, you must begin to perceive what is portrayed in the Macrocosm in the text of the scriptures, as indicating an inner reality within the microcosm of self. And this is the reason why Yeshua condemned the Pharisees for throwing away the Key of Knowledge -- i.e., the scriptures -- by interpreting them outwardly in an historical mindset, and observing them in outward ritual and tradition. “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered” (Luke 11:52 NAS). What ws true in the past, is true today -- and those who fail to learn the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat them. Today the lawyers who see only the "letter that killeth", (see The Abysmal Pursuit Of God By The Letter That Killeth ), are called Fundamentalist Christians. But since all of life is a Living (allegorical) Scripture, then so too are most other religious leaders just a different variety of blind guides who lead the people down the broad-way of self-destruction. So those who escape the blindness of the various religious leaders, merely embrace the blindness of other leaders who are often move blind than the religious traditions they blindly condemn.

The Problem: In order to possess the eyes to see, you must first understand the nature of the problem. Those who are prisoners in the cave who reject the enlightened souls who return in an attempt to awaken them, also reject the idea that the scriptures which are written in the allegorical shadow language of this world, have an inner meaning that they are totally incapable of perceiving. The allegory of the scriptures are merely written in the same form and symbols that all of life is imbued with, and in conjunction with the variety of superstitions of the cultures of the people they were intended to communicate with. Since the people of a natural organic consciousness will always look upon the higher reality of their own soul-self and the Mysteries of God as "foolishness" -- i.e., “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ) -- “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. 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) -- there is simply no other means to communicate essential truths that their natural organic consciousness will vehemently reject and condemn, than to employ allegorical forms and symbols that appear as either historical or cosmic accounts.

The Absurdity Of Those Who Condemn Gnosis: To understand the Gnostic and begin to embrace the gnosis of the Divine Manna of the Kingdom of God, one must first comprehend the primary rule for interpreting all genuine scriptures. In the same way that Jesus condemned the Pharisees for throwing away the Key of Knowledge that must be turned within in one's search for the Kingdom (see Gate Of Eden), and thereby inhibiting the prodigal sons and daughters from entering into Life, the primary rule that all pseudo-religious leaders violate is when they attempt to tell you what the Gnostics believe based upon a literal interpretation of their writings. In what is arguably one of the best works on Christian Gnosticism by G.R.S. Mead entitled Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, this explanation is put forth: “…what the Gnostics projected onto the screen… [in the form of a ] picture of the universe was in reality a picture of their own minds. Its mythology is a symbolic portrayal, almost a deliberate one, of the forces which operate in the structuring and evolution of the human personality”. It was for this reason that Carl Jung called the Gnostic Christians the worlds first and foremost psychologists who understood the very fabric of human consciousness. If it is true what the Apostle wrote: “For the truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts” (Rom 1:19 TLB) -- then the anti-Jewish religion that Paul preached must be seen as a means to tap into this deposit of “instinctual… knowledge [that God deposited] in their hearts”. And it is this inner instinctual knowledge that Paul spoke of and taught the means to find within (see The Gnostic Paul).

This allegorical nature of both the scriptures, as well as all of life itself, to their own demise is not understood by all sectarian and secular leaders alike. Moreover, the only war between religion and science, is in reality the struggle of sectarian ignorance and secular ignorance confronting each other with their own inability to perceive beyond the limited and dark environment of the Cave. And this blindness is presented to us in the article entitled No Jew Has Seen The Torah, where the carnal Jews are warned by the Jewish Mystic that "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..." -- as well as by the early Christian Church Fathers as represented in the words of Origen who called the historical narrative "worthless" -- explaining in his famed De Principiis that: “Where the word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things, there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not” (see The Secret Doctrine Of Christianity).

In the first century writings known as the Clementine Homilies which is a discourse between the Apostle Peter and his disciple Clement, it is written of the religious writings of the Greeks: “The wisest of the ancients, men who had by hard labor learned all truth, kept the path of knowledge hid from those who were unworthy and had no taste for lessons in divine things. For it is not really true that from Ouranos and his mother Ge were born twelve children, as the myth counts them: six sons, Okeanos, Koios, Krios, Hyperion, Japetos, Kronos; and six daughters, Thea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Demeter, Tethys, and Rhea. Nor that Kronos, with the knife of adamant, mutilated his father Ouranos, as you say, and threw the part into the sea; nor that Aphrodite sprang from the drops of blood which flowed from it; nor that Kronos associated with Rhea, and devoured his first-begotten son Pluto, because a certain saying of Prometheus led him to fear that a child born from him would wax stronger than himself, and spoil him of his kingdom... But, my son, as I said, such stories have a peculiar and philosophical meaning, which can be allegorically set forth in such a way that you yourself would listen with wonder.”

What is being revealed here is that what is written literally in the sacred writings of the people we call Pagans, is not the true and genuine message that is being conveyed to the enlightened members of the Pagan religions -- who by reason of their enlightenment, were called Christians. All these many stories and myths pertaining to gods and goddesses were in reality pertaining to the manifestation of the laws and divine powers throughout all of Creation. Thus, if we are truly perceptive, we must begin to admit that we haven’t the slightest idea what the true Pagan initiate believed. Moreover, what we should really take to heart and be concerned about from our own religious perspective is the fact that these initiates were referred to as Christians prior to the time of Jesus -- and their gods where spoken of as the Christos, or Christ.

That the true meaning of the sacred writings of the Greeks was concealed from the multitude of people is further established in the writings of the early Church Father Clement of Alexandria who writes: “It was not only the Pythagoreans and Plato then, that concealed many things; but the Epicureans too say that they have things that may not be uttered, and do not allow all to peruse those writings. The Stoics also say that by the first Zeno things were written which they do not readily allow disciples to read, without their first giving proof whether or not they are genuine philosophers. And the disciples of Aristotle say that some of their treatises are esoteric, and others common and exoteric. Further, those who instituted the mysteries, being philosophers, buried their doctrines in myths, so as not to be obvious to all. Did they then, by veiling human opinions, prevent the ignorant from handling them; and was it not more beneficial for the holy and blessed contemplation of realities to be concealed? But it was not only the tenets of the Barbarian philosophy, or the Pythagorean myths. But even those myths in Plato (in the Republic, that of Hero the Armenian; and in the Gorgias, that of Aeacus and Rhadamanthus; and in the Phoedo, that of Tartarus; and in the Protagoras, that of Prometheus and Epimetheus; and besides these, that of the war between the Atlantini and the Athenians in the Atlanticum) are to be expounded allegorically, not absolutely in all their expressions, but in those which ex-press the general sense. And these we shall find indicated by symbols under the veil of allegory. Also the association of Pythagoras, and the twofold intercourse with the associates which designates the majority, hearers), and the others that have a genuine attachment to philosophy, disciples, yet signified that something was spoken to the multitude, and something concealed from them. Perchance, too, the twofold species of the Peripatetic teaching - that called probable, and that called knowable - came very near the distinction between opinion on the one hand, and glory and truth on the other. To win the flowers of fair renown from men, Be not induced to speak aught more than right.”

In explanation of why the inner meaning of the mysteries are concealed from the masses, Clement writes: “The Ionic muses accordingly expressly say, ‘That the majority of people, wise in their own estimation, follow minstrels and make use of laws, knowing that many are bad, few good; but that the best pursue glory: for the best make choice of the everlasting glory of men above all. But the multitude cram themselves like brutes, measuring happiness by the belly and the pudenda, and the basest things in us.’ And the great Parmenides of Elea is introduced describing thus the teaching of the two ways: ‘The one is the dauntless heart of convincing truth; The other is in the opinions of men, in whom is no true faith’”.

Because we fail to understand the reason and essence of life itself, it is near impossible for the modern Christian to understand the nature of the ancient religions and their relationship to the teachings of the New Covenant. Moreover, because of our inability to comprehend the very elementary significance of religion itself, neither can we perceive the reason why the adoption of Pagan religious symbols were so readily embraced by the more mature Christians over the first four centuries. The problem is that we have slammed the door to higher knowledge by virtue of our own arrogance which manifests itself in the Christian dogma that we are right, and everyone else is ignorant. What we fail to realize is that all the religions of the world possess a degree of truth -- and it was the people of the New Covenant who were holy enough to embrace Truth in its Ultimate Reality.

What is expressed in these words with regard to the inner meaning of what we call the Pagan religious symbols, is a sure demonstration of Universal Truth. In all religions the world over there is “the teaching of the two ways”. To the disciple with the “dauntless heart” who, with his whole life, seeks out the truth, the inner spiritual meaning is revealed. All the rest, who are the majority -- whose lives are driven by sensual desires and brute carnal appetites -- the wise men of all time have provided religious symbols that entice the masses, and yet conceal the true spiritual meaning from the eyes of the profane.

The reality of mankind is portrayed in the words of Clement when he wrote in the above quotation: “But the multitude cram themselves like brutes, measuring happiness by the belly and the pudenda, and the basest things in us”. This is true -- true when these words were written, and true of the people in our own time. The multitude of people do not care about Truth! They have no desire to embrace the Pure Word! Being carnal, they relate everything to the fulfillment of their sensual desires and appetites. Knowing this fact, the holy men the world over have embedded the teachings of the Two Way into whatever form the multitude of people would accept. This very important knowledge is beyond our comprehension today, because we ignore the words of the Apostle Paul when we worship the historical Jesus, while giving very little attention to the Marriage with the indwelling Christ.

Clement explains that the ancient sources of philosophy were spiritual and true, and the great confusion among the Greeks is a result of false philosophers who are of a later time when he writes: “But the most ancient of the philosophers were not carried away to disputing and doubting, much less are we, who are attached to the really true philosophy, on whom the Scripture enjoins examination and investigation. For it is the more recent of the Hellenic philosophers who, by empty and futile love of fame, are led into useless babbling in refuting and wrangling. But, on the contrary, the Barbarian philosophy, expelling all contention, said, ‘Seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; ask, and it shall be given you.’ Accordingly, by investigation, the point proposed for inquiry and answer knocks at the door of truth, according to what appears. And on an opening being made through the obstacle in the process of investigation, there results scientific contemplation. To those who thus knock, according to my view, the subject under investigation is opened. And to those who thus ask questions, in the Scriptures, there is given from God (that at which they aim) the gift of the God-given knowledge, by way of comprehension, through the true illumination of logical investigation. For it is impossible to find, without having sought; or to have sought, without having examined; or to have examined, without having unfolded and opened up the question by interrogation, to produce distinctness; or again, to have gone through the whole investigation, without thereafter receiving as the prize the knowledge of the point in question. But it belongs to him who has sought, to find; and to him to seek, who thinks previously that he does not know. Hence drawn by desire to the discovery of what is good, he seeks thoughtfully, without love of strife or glory, asking, answering, and besides considering the statements made. For it is incumbent, in applying ourselves not only to the divine Scriptures, but also to common notions, to institute investigations, the discovery ceasing at some useful end. For another place and crowd await turbulent people, and forensic sophistries. But it is suitable for him, who is at once a lover and disciple of the truth, to be pacific even in investigations, advancing by scientific demonstration, without love of self, but with love of truth, to comprehensive knowledge”.

Modern Christians today pray for a greater understanding of the Word, and yet the term “scientific investigations” is totally alien to their perception of the Word. Perhaps the key phrase is presented to us in the words: “Knowledge... belongs to him who has sought, to find; and to him to seek, who thinks previously that he does not know”. Is this any different than the words of the Apostle when he wrote: “if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:2 NKJ). So long as we think we know the meaning of the Pagan religious writings -- the Bible -- and even the meaning of purpose of life itself, the words of the Apostle will continue to plague us when he said of us that we know: “nothing yet as we ought to know”.

The blindness is our own! If we had so formed our life that we were able to fulfill the Word and become the bride of Christ, and were truly the people of an Anointed and Illumined mind, we would see that concealed within the body of the narrative, the philosophers spoke of Christ in the form of the Logos -- in the manner of the Gospel of John -- and this is seen when Clement writes: “Thus in the Philebus, Plato, who had been the disciple of the barbarian philosophy, mystically called those Atheists who destroy and pollute, as far as in them lies, the Deity dwelling in them - that is, the Logos - by association with their vices”.

Thus, the message of Clement is threefold: Clement writes that the true source and inner revelation of the writings of Plato, is the same Logos attested to in the Gospel of John. Moreover, we observe the continual statement that the Logos represents the Deity that is indwelling within all of mankind. Clement then describes our own present-day condition when he refers to multitude of people as “Atheists who destroy and pollute, as far as in them lies, the Deity dwelling in them - that is, the Logos -- by association with their vices”. This is true of natural man throughout all time -- i.e., people who have failed to make themselves an acceptable vessel for them to enter into the Divine Marriage with the indwelling Logos.

What we are presented with are two major themes that need our careful attention. First it is demonstrated that Plato knew, and wrote about the Logos. From our modern-day doctrinal perspective that can only mean that Plato wrote about Jesus prior to the time of Jesus’ incarnation. Moreover, this is the same Logos that is written about in the Gospel of John where it reads: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1 KJV). Contrary, then, to our present-day doctrines, we must conclude that Christ was written about by the philosophers prior to the time of Jesus. Further, unless be begin to comprehend the difference between the name Jesus and the term Christ, the only conclusion that can be arrived at is that Jesus wrote through Plato in the same manner that he wrote through the Hebrew prophets.

The Encyclopedia Britannica (1998 edition) writes of the word Logos: “In Greek philosophy and theology, the divine reason implicit in the cosmos, ordering it and giving it form and meaning. Though the concept defined by the term logos is found in Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and Persian philosophical and theological systems... The idea of the logos in Greek thought harks back at least to the 6^th-century-BC philosopher Heracleitus, who discerned in the cosmic process a logos analogous to the reasoning power in man. Later, the Stoics, philosophers who followed the teachings of the thinker Zeno of Citium (4^th-3^rd century BC), defined the logos as an active rational and spiritual principle that permeated all reality... Philo of Alexandria, a 1^st-century-AD Jewish philosopher, taught that the logos was the intermediary between God and the cosmos, being both the agent of creation and the agent through which the human mind can apprehend and comprehend God. According to Philo and the Middle Platonists, philosophers who interpreted in religious terms the teachings of the 4^th-century-BC Greek master philosopher Plato, the logos was both immanent in the world and at the same time the transcendent divine mind... The identification of Jesus with the logos, which is implied in various places in the New Testament but stated specifically in the Fourth Gospel, was further developed in the early church but more on the basis of Greek philosophical ideas... the early Christian Fathers stated that Christ as the preexistent logos (1) reveals the Father to mankind and is the subject of the Old Testament manifestations of God; (2) is the divine reason in which the whole human race shares, so that the 6^th-century-BC philosopher and others who lived with reason were Christians before Christ; and (3) is the divine will and word by which the worlds were framed”.

The concept of the Logos is so deeply imbedded in Greek thought, that the Eleventh, or Scholars Edition of the Britannica which was published prior to the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls writes that: “Among the influences that shaped the Fourth Gospel that of the Alexandrian philosophy must be assigned a distinct... importance”. Because of this very distinct Hellenic influence, many Bible experts believed that the Gospel of John had been written by a Greek convert. This is especially seen in the statement by the Britannica where it writes: “What John thus does is to take the Logos idea of Philo and use it for a practical purpose -- to make more intelligible to himself and his readers the divine nature of Jesus Christ. That this endeavor to work into the historical tradition of the life and teaching of Jesus -- a hypothesis which had a distinctly foreign origin -- led him into serious difficulties...”.

The idea that John borrowed the concept of the Logos from the Greeks, or even that the Gospel was written by a Greek convert, was widely accepted by biblical scholars, and this opinion was only proved faulty with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. From the perspective of better understanding what we believe, this whole concept that is being presented is important for modern Christians to comprehend. What the scholars are stating is that John borrowed Greek Hellenistic ideas about the Christ of Plato and the Greek philosophers, and then incorporated these foreign ideas into his gospel. This includes the idea of the pre-existent Word that is the creator of the universe -- which when understood in this light, is as much a concealed doctrine of the Pagans, as is the biblical teaching that one must be born again. Because these ideas are absent from the other three gospels -- was more appropriately used in the Greek mystery religions than in Judaism -- and were then incorporated in the gospel, biblical scholars and theologians have long thought that John’s Gospel was founded upon the same Hellenistic theology responsible for Platonic thought and the writings of the poets.

What we are presented here is one of the core reasons why most biblical scholars did not believe the religion of the simple faith, or in the traditional manner of the very churches they served. Evangelical and Born again Christians often use the first chapter of John to prove that Jesus was the pre-existent God who came into the world. What the Evangelical Christians failed to understand was the fact that the more informed biblical scholar understood the connection between the Logos of John and the Logos of Plato and the Pagan world. Moreover, the scholar also understood the universal doctrine of the Logos throughout all the religions of the world, as seen in the above words: “the concept defined by the term logos is found in Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and Persian philosophical and theological systems...”

Unlike the people of the simple faith, the biblical scholars knew that many Pagan concepts were added into the text of the New Testament in order to better bring the text into harmony with traditional Greek and Roman religious ideas. With good reason it has even been speculated that the verse most used by modern Evangelical Christians to prove that Jesus was God, was added to the beginning of John at a later date by the Roman Church in the endeavor to Paganize the gospel. What this means is that Christians today could in every way be calling upon the god of Plato, and the Christ of the Pagan philosophers.

The great change that literally pulled the proverbial rug out from under the Christian world was brought about with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Everything that biblical scholars and theologians thought they knew, had to re-evaluated when the scrolls gave them the ability to transcend time itself -- and for the first time in almost two thousand years, they were able to perceive the true foundation of Christian thought. The ramifications were literally astounding -- i.e., what this meant was that all their theories, as well as everything that was ever written about the Gospel of John prior to that time, was in error. It did not matter that Luther, Calvin and the common believers quoted and used John, often to the exclusion of the other gospels. The problem was that the anti-Gnostic church which evolved out of the Roman Empire was incapable of understanding even the elementary aspects of the gospel, because they did not comprehend the tradition in which it was founded. The scholar understood this fact – whereas, even today the preacher of the simple faith does not -- and this is demonstrated in the words of A. Powell Davies: “Biblical scholars were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been” (quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls).

That most Christians remain lost today, and fail to comprehend the profound meaning of the requirement to be "Born Again" -- is seen in their inability to understand both the allegorical nature of the scriptures, as well as life itself. Thus, Dead Sea Scroll expert Prof. John Allegro reveals this truth in his book, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of Christianity, where writes: “It is a fact that the Qumran Library has profoundly affected the study of the Johannine writings and many longheld conceptions have had to be radically revised. No longer can John be regarded as the most Hellenistic of the Evangelists; his gnosticism, and the whole framework of his thought is seen now to spring directly from a Jewish sectarianism rooted in palestinian soil, and his material recognized as founded in the earliest layers of Gospel traditions.” The Bible is as much the writings of Gnostics, as is the writings of men such as Valentinus.

What all the many recent archaeological discoveries have confirmed and demonstrated that Prof. Allegro is correct in his assertion that our modern-day understanding of “the source and originality of Christian doctrine” is defective. Why? Because the Bible does not support the tenets and structure of an organized church as we have today. In the words of Prof. Elaine Pagles, in her book, The Gnostic Gospels: “It is the winners who write history - their way. No wonder, then, that the viewpoint of the successful majority has dominated all traditional accounts of the origin of Christianity… It suggests that these religious debates - questions of the nature of God, or of Christ - simultaneously bear social and political implications that are crucial to the development of Christianity as an institutional religion. In simplest terms, ideas which bear implications contrary to that development come to be labeled as heresy; ideas which implicitly support it become orthodox”.

In order to create an institutional religion under Pagan Rome, the fourth century Emperor Constantine murdered all the original Ebionite Disciples of Jesus (see The Death Of The Religion of Jesus), as well as the Spiritual Christians who were called Gnostics. Constantine then set about to edit the Bible in order to make it reflect the doctrines of his Church (see Bible Corruption). Part of the necessary editing entailed the alteration of the texts to support the doctrine that Jesus was God (see The Ten Words). When Edmund Wilson, an expert who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls asked the question as to what difference it makes if “Jesus... had been trained in the discipline and imbued with the thought of a certain Jewish sect, and that he had learned from it the role that he afterwards lived...” (The Scrolls From The Dead Sea), the defectiveness of our commonly held ideas was immediately brought to light. Moreover, what some of our experts have now come to suspect is that the primary difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant has absolutely nothing to do with their choice of biblical testaments -- bur rather, is founded upon the manner of thinking of the people, and the means by which a believer is to receive the revelation of God. And the fact that most Christians today read the scriptures in the same exact blind manner as did the Pharisees who Jesus condemned for throwing away the Key of Knowledge, means that the Christian world is basically functioning in an Old Covenant mode (see Old Vs New).

Our True Nature And Form

Our Soul-Self Is The Being Of Light

Life after life we become caught up in the rituals and traditions of the religious paths, while the primary objective remains obscured and unknown. Without the religion, we quickly become possessed by the sensual and elemental appetites of the body, and controlled by the elemental powers of this world. With the religion, we become so hypnotized by the rituals, traditions and manmade doctrines, that the primary objectives of both the religion and life becomes hidden and concealed from us. This creates the many failures in life -- and it is this reality that Yeshua makes reference to in the 84th saying of the Gospel of Thomas in the words (84) Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!"

Notice that Jesus did not say that when you see God, you rejoice... and how much will you bear? But the reality of what is conveyed in these words is one of those Great Truths that are unknown and condemned by the masses of entry-level believers. Because at the "AA" elementary level everything has to be conveyed from the perspective: God Commanded This -- or, God Commanded That -- or, you must do this to satisfy the Requirements and Laws of God -- and the real killer in the doctrine that you must get rid of self in order to satisfy these Requirements, while enabling the masses to get control of their lower natures, makes them unfit for discipleship or walking in TheWay. And so, your dammed if you do, and your dammed if you don't -- and life after life is a series of failed soul-images that are only able to make the most minutest of spiritual gains.

Man's Soul Reality/Genetics: Jesus taught that each of us must be born a second time to enter the Kingdom -- (see You Must Be Born Again ) -- but what does this mean? What is the fate of those who do not succeed in bringing about the next stage of soul-birth -- thereby overcoming their divided nature that Jesus made reference to when he stated that a house divided cannot stand? In my article on Coming Into The Light I attempt to explain our relationship to the Being of Light that people encounter in a Near Death Experience. But who is this Being of Light This is your pre-existent soul -- your true self that has existed since the dawn of time. In our inner journey into the Kingdom (see http://GateOfEden.com ), we must first overcome our divided natures and become our truth self -- our soul-self -- before we can bring about our spiritual transformation and birth and return as the prodigal son/daughter to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination. And while I recognize that this inner soul reality is not clearly portrayed in the written words of the scriptures, this reality is among the Mysteries that Jesus taught privately to his disciples "in the house", and one of the realities that Paul warned the believers of the simple faith would look upon as "foolishness".

Your soul-self which exists consciously independent in a parallel realm, knows your every thought -- your every future event in your life -- and has the memory of every experience that your true self has ever had since the dawn of time. But you can only possess this knowledge of your true nature and self, when you are able to transform the physical body so it can accommodate this higher perception, knowledge and reality. By nature, we only utilize approximately 10% of our potential of mind, because the physical body only develops those aspects of mind that relate to this physical world. In order to utilized those other areas of the mind that don't correspond to the physical, we have to purposely and consciously develop them. The mind must be grown and developed beyond the limitations of the physical natural-organic, and it must be nourished by thoughts, concepts and impressions that permit its development. Anything that limits this development from a lifestyle, religious/philosophical or cultural perspective, inhibits the development of the mind to go beyond what is supported by the physical body environment.

Our reality is portrayed in the words of Yeshua in the 84th saying of the Gospel of Thomas in the words (84) Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!" Your likeness is the true you -- i.e., the Being of Light who is your soul-self. Your images are the personalities (embryonic images) which lived before you in previous lives which failed to become one with their source of being (the Being of Light), and thus failed to "become manifest". We can't remember our past, or manifest the knowledge of our soul-self, unless we alter the physical body in such a way that it will begin to vibrate as a higher frequency than what was developed by nature.

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.

This is the meaning of what is often portrayed as physical transformation. And in the above quotations this is presented to us in the words: “…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.” In order to see and perceive beyond the spectrum of frequencies of this physical world, we must find a way to permit the body-mind to vibrate and perceive these higher frequencies. And this is what the true religious path is all about -- as the journey of religious-philosophy gives birth to the true spiritual path which we call TheWay. Because the physical body-vessel can't vibrate at the necessary frequencies to perceive our own greater soul and spiritual reality, we are shackled to a very narrow physical reality where mankind constantly speculates about the unknown and what Jesus called the Mysteries of God that was beyond natural man's ability to comprehend -- that is, without bringing about the transformation of the physical in order to permit it to accommodate these frequencies of mind and beyond that is beyond the scope of the natural organic reality of the body-vessel.

In the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 above, a lesser secondary soul-self is projected into the reality of the physical body-vessel, and this lesser soul which is an embryonic image of our higher soul-self, is the true source of your consciousness and mind. And because this embryonic image came into being at conception, it can be said that it has never lived before. But, because of the Laws and the fact that everything is imbued with the DNA of the Alpha and Omega, this lesser soul-embryonic image of our true self that is projected into the physical reality of this world and associated body-vessel, must return to its source -- which is our true soul-nature that is the Being of Light in the NDE. While people such as the Christians and the example of Judy possess much religious knowledge, they miss the mark and fail to properly develop because they are worshiping or seeking God -- while ignoring the necessary knowledge of self as understood in the reality of the higher soul-self. And people such as yourself who believe they are the product of physical genetics, fail to develop beyond a certain point in much the same way as the religious people, because you lack the knowledge and understanding of self.

While these lesser soul-images are never manifest as portrayed in the Gospel of Thomas, this is because they fail to return from the Alpha to the Omega while they are still in the body-vessel. And as seen in the Near Death Experience (NDE), they do not die, but they must accomplish what they failed to accomplish in an after death state which most Mediums or people who can initiate an Out of Body experience can learn about. But with respect to returning to their source of being and the Laws that are imbued with the DNA of the Alpha and Omega, they are said to walk the broad-way of self-destruction because they failed to complete their development while in the physical body-vessel. They, therefore, exist as (failed) experiences in the journey of the soul-self to embrace Completion and Perfection. With respect to remaining as experiences in the travail and journey of the soul who must fulfill the requirement of perfection as stated at Matthew 5:48 where we are told to be Perfect, as our Heavenly Father is Perfect. In the early Christian writing known as the Books of the Saviour or Pistis Sophia (Faith Wisdom), this requirement is expressed in the words: “But if he shall have sinned once, twice, or thrice, they shall reject that soul, sending it back again into the world according to the form of the sins that it may have committed; the form whereof I will declare unto you hereafter. But verily, verily I say unto you, that even the righteous man that hath committed no sin at all cannot be brought into the Kingdom of Light, forasmuch the seal of the mysteries of that kingdom is not found upon him. Once for all, I say unto you, a soul cannot be brought into the kingdom, if it be without the mysteries of the Kingdom of the Light”. And in the Zohar which is the essence of Jewish Mysticism, this same truth is expressed in the words: “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”. The Book of the Revelation is the allegorical account of entering the Kingdom within after accomplishing the perfection and spiritualization of the body-mind: "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). Those who remain outside, are the people who are the dogs and swine who practice a lie and have not faithfully walked in TheWay.

Since the vast majority of religious leaders and quasi-philosophers of this world who most people listen to know absolutely nothing about the soul/higher self -- and they fail to comprehend the many paradoxes of Creation that causes them to perpetually eat of the fruit of the Tree of Duality -- let me speak from the perspective of my own experiences that is beyond even their wildest imaginations. In my life as Jacob during the time of Jesus (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org ), I was able to walk the earth as my soul/higher self manifest in the flesh. I literally was the Being of Light. And while it is true that I was overshadowed by Jesus who not only was his soul/higher self and spiritual-self manifest in the flesh, but because of his Consecrated Holiness it could be said that Jesus walked the earth as God -- it is also true that the essence of our teacher disciple relationship where I was literally taught by God manifest in the flesh -- and taken by God manifest in the flesh into realms and kingdoms that would boggle the mind of natural man -- it is also true that this level of spirituality became a part of men that transcended all future lifetimes. When you are able to manifest your soul/higher self in the body, you not only possess the knowledge of all the lives that you have lived since the dawn of time, but you can access those "images... which neither die nor become manifest". Since they are expressions of the soul, they still exist within the consciousness of the soul, and they exist as a community of One within the soul/higher self in much the same way that we exist as One within the Mind of God. And while the written record of all experiences is recorded in the Akashic records, this is more like a ledger -- while the living "images... which neither die nor become manifest" remain living within the soul.

Those who think they can Know God, without bringing about the next stage of soul-birth and Knowing Self, are themselves delusional, and under the power of the Demiurge -- i.e., the god of this world -- the collective consciousness -- the unity consciousness -- the citizen of the far country.

In the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." So to once again restore the teachings of TheWay which is today known as Christianity, the Lord has sent Jacob/James, the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, back into the world in order to guide the faithful flock into the Truth, the Light, and the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21). It is there that my brother Yeshua/Jesus awaits you.

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

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

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

		The Brother Of Yeshua/Jesus: 2000 years ago I lived as Jacob who many all James, and I was known as the Brother of Yeshua and the first leader of the New Covenant movement of TheWay which is today known as Christianity. I was sent back into the world to restore the teachings of my brother Yeshua to their original spiritual essence, and to guide you in TheWay that is "narrow" so you will be able to open the "strait gate" within you and enter the Kingdom that Yeshua declared must be attained through the second birth.
		The Ebionite HomePage: If you call yourself a Christian, Jew, Messianic believer, Evyonim, Nazarene or Muslim, then it is imperative that you learn of the Ebionites who are True Spiritual Israel -- They are the Poor Ones to the ways and thinking of this world -- The Ebionites were the Israelites of the Nazirene Vow They are/were the Genuine Disciples of Yeshua/Jesus who are in the world and not of it!
		The Nazirene HomePage: The original spiritual teachings of Yeshua/Jesus as practiced by the people of The Way who where known historically as the Essenes, Ebionites, and Nazirenes. The teachings of The Way are Spiritual -- and provide a means to open the "strait gate" into the Kingdom while still physically alive in the body/vessel.
		The Master Index: The Index of Nazirene Ebionite web sites and the Original Teachings of TheWay
		The Ten Words: That restores the teachings of Jesus and TheWay to their original spiritual environment.
		Reincarnation - The Key To Christianity:
		The Light Of Yeshua -- The Messianic Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: While many teach that believers are saved by faith, the journey of the disciple of Yeshua is one of absolute dedication to The Way. The disciple who becomes a brother to Yeshua must live as he lived, and become a Nazirene who is consecrated and wholly set apart as they walk the Narrow Way, enter into the Kingdom through the Strait Gate, and learn directly from the L-rd -- the One Rabbi and Teacher of the Mysteries of G-d.
		Divine Strategery: How God Fools Mankind - Keeping Him Ignorant Of The Truth: Strategery has become synonymous with when what is portrayed as simple, simpleminded, or even self-evident, is able to dupe and thwart an opposing force that perceives itself to be either superior, or to suppose they know the answers. Divine Strategery is how God fools all the religious leaders of this world who think they doctrinally know God -- all the would-be teachers and philosophers of this world who think they Know Truth -- all the Atheists and those who criticize and denounce the existence of God by virtue of their limited perception and understanding -- and all the people in this world who think they understand the purpose of life and the world in which we presently dwell. As prodigal sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, if the people in this life knew the answers, then the learning experience of God's SchoolHouse of this world would not effectively evolve us to become true Brothers and Sisters of our Elder Brother Yeshua/Jesus. Therefore, in order to insure that each of us is immersed in the necessary learning experience that this life offers, all people are equally fooled into thinking they know, in order for them to be manipulated into embracing a higher agenda that is beyond their ability to even imagine. Thus, Divine Strategery!!!
		The Pre-Existent Soul of Mankind: Jesus taught the reality of the pre-existent soul that evolves to perfection over the course of many lifetimes. The Church adheres to the doctrine and theology of a Circus Prostitute and a Roman Emperor who maintained absolute control over what Christians were permitted to believe! Christians continue to cling to the theology of this Circus Prostitute today - rejecting the teachings of Jesus, while adhering to the doctrines of Pagan Rome. The mass confusion of an uncountable number of sects today, is the direct result of the void which was brought about when this foundational concept was removed from both the Bible, as well as Christian doctrine. The doctrinal quagmire which was brought about with the removal of this foundational teaching, obstructs Christians growth and maturity beyond the entry-level simple faith. Because they adhere to the corrupted doctrines of men, modern Christians can't inherit the Biblical Promise of entering the Kingdom and Life.
		Being Of Light: Who are we? What are we? From where have we come? What is our destiny? To the demise of those who read these words, only a handful of people today can answer these all-important crucial questions correctly! The rest dwell under the cloud of unknowing -- and if you think you are the person whose reflection you see in the mirror, then you are a stranger to your true self and have made yourself part of the illusion of this world. With great wisdom Yeshua/Jesus is quoted in The Books of the Savior, also known as Pistis Sophia (Faith-Wisdom): "Do not cease seeking day or night, and do not let yourselves relax until you have found all the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into Pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light."
		Gospel of the Nazirenes -- Gospel Of Light: What did the Gospels look like before being edited and re-written by the Church of Rome? What were the original beliefs of the first followers of Yeshua? You will be astonished when you read a surviving text of The Gospel of the Nazirenes which was hidden away from the corrupters of the Roman Church. Are you ready for a truly enlightening experience?
		The Gate Of Eden: Why were the Nazirene/Ebionites vegetarian? Why did they live in accordance with the precepts of the Torah/Law? Why did they live separate and apart from both Jews and Christians? The answer is very simple: The Gate of Eden is within us, and if we fail to enter therein while we are still physically alive in the body, we will have failed in our opportunity to enter into Life. And while it can be countered that we are saved by our belief in Messiah/Christ, faith, or the blood of the lamb, the truth is that if we were truly faithful disciples of TheWay, that we would experience the opening of the inner door and the Kingdom coming within us. The GateOfEden article explores all aspects of the need to pick up one's own cross and follow the narrow path that leads to the inner gate to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.
