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.

The Command To
Know Thyself
In
the Gospel of Thomas it is
stated that
"Whoever finds himself is
superior to the world".
When the Church became the
religious puppet of the Roman
Government in the fourth century
(see
The Death Of The Religion Of
Jesus), this self-knowledge,
the Key of Knowledge, and the
Sacred Manna/Gnosis of the
Spirit was thrown away.
Quoting a few of the
pre-Constantine statements of
the early Church Father as
contained on the
Being of Light 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”...
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.
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.
What Is It?
Whose World Is The Work Of
The Demiurge?
While these questions may appear to be strange to the
average person, they represent the missing key to understanding what exactly is
being portrayed in the concept of the Demiurge. And the essence that
the questions set before the inquiring mind, presents the reality that each
person sees and understands the world very different from others -- and this
difference can be portrayed as part of the Tower of Babel Syndrome that few
people understand (see
http://DivineStrategery.com#babel ). But herein lies the problem
-- i.e., since few people actually understand the far reaching reality that is
portrayed in the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel -- and, fewer yet to
their own demise understand that the reality portrayed in the concept of the
Demiurge, is merely an integral part of the Laws that bring about the Tower of
Babel Syndrome -- then, typical of the vast majority of the lost prodigal sons,
they remain shackled to ignorance because they judge what they don't understand
the higher reality of.
In the same way that in the allegory of the tower of
Babel, each person hears and is portrayed as speaking a different language than
the other people -- and that these differences are brought about and maintained
by the Laws of God -- so too does each person see the world differently, and
these differences are brought about and maintained by the Laws of God.
What this means is that each persons present station in life, is the result of
the Laws of God impressing upon them a certain predetermined mindset and vision
of the world. Therefore, each person hears a different language
which speaks to their vision of both self and the world. A liberal,
is of a liberal mindset, because the Laws have brought about that condition of
mind where he sees the world through a liberal mindset. And this is
not only true of a conservative, but also a Feminist, a homosexual, an Atheist,
a Marxist, a Capitalist, as well as all the other countless differences that
divide the thinking of mankind into schools of thought that are often in
conflict with other schools of thought and philosophy. And thus, the
liberal does not see the world through the same eyes as the conservative, the
Atheist, the secularist, the man of faith, as well as all the philosophical and
religious differences that exist among mankind. And that these
philosophical differences which are often in conflict one with another, are
brought about and maintained by lesser Laws which maintain these vast
differences, from the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel represent the
lesser Laws of God which are said to be an (individualized) world created by a
Demiurge.
What is presented in the above goes to the very core
of man's ignorance about life, which permits that Jesus portrayed as the
"Citizen... of the Far Country" to totally
control the thinking of the lost prodigal son (see
http://DivineStrategery.com/#prodigal ). And this same
counterfeit vision of the world that mesmerizes each individual person --
shackling them to a world of illusions -- is what is being portrayed in
the analogy of Plato's Cave (see
http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato ). The creator of the illusion
through which each person sees the world, is what was called a Demiurge by the
early Spiritual Christians who had accomplished what the Apostle Paul commanded,
and had overcome this world and their lower nature which inhibits their
perception and understanding (see
http://gateofeden.com/#overcome ). The world of illusion which
shackles the lost prodigal son in the abyss of ignorance -- depriving him of his
inheritance and spiritual birthright as the offspring of God -- is the effect of
the lesser Laws which has created the world of illusion that holds each person
captive in Plato's Cave.
To man's own undoing, perhaps no other subject is so
misrepresented and misunderstood -- not only by those who do not know, but also
by those who think they know -- as the subject of what was historically called
the Demiurge. And in addition to the allegorical account of the
Tower of Babel Syndrome, while the reality portrayed in the word and concept of
a Demiurge can readily be seen in the Bible, few who dwell under the Power of
the Demiurge are able to comprehend what is being conveyed. From a
purely Church perspective, the Key to understanding the reality of the Demiurge
is presented in the words: "The coming of the lawless
one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying
wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they
did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved" (II
Th 2:9-10 NKJ). With respect to the term
"...lawless" -- which is used throughout the scriptures -- the Law
that is being referenced is not the literal text of the Law of Moses -- the Law
that is being presented is the Spiritual or Royal Law that is the bulwark of
those who seek righteousness. In the above statement by Paul, the
"...love of the truth" portrays those who
are willing to seek the Truth over the doctrines of men, and righteously live
the Truth in word, thought, desire and deed. And it is in the living
and the seeking the Truth and TheWay, that the illusions imposed upon man by the
Demiurge -- i.e., the Citizen of the Far Country -- is overcome.
With respect to the Church, it was predicted by Paul that the AntiChrist would
rule over the Church, and he would be worshiped by those who called themselves
Christians, as God (see Church Of The
AntiChrist). As demonstrated at this link, those who will
worship Satan as God, will cling to the doctrines of men, and reject the
original teachings and objectives of the Gospel -- i.e., writing on the second
chapter of Thessalonians: "...We have the original word
apostasia in our word apostasy; and by this term we understand
a dereliction of the essential principles of religious
truth, either a total abandonment of Christianity itself, or such a corruption
of its doctrines as renders the whole system completely inefficient to salvation.
But what this apostasy means is a question which has not yet, and perhaps never
will be, answered to general satisfaction” (from the Adam Clarke
Commentary).
Why would it be predicted that the AntiChrist would
rule over the Church which called itself Christian, and be worshiped by those
who call themselves Christian, as God? Like Nero who fiddles which
Rome burns, those who call themselves Christian -- but are really CINO's
(Christian In Name Only) -- remain under the control of the AntiChrist that Paul
predicted would rule the Church -- and be worshiped as God.
The illusion that Satan and the AntiChrist is God, is presented in the words
with respect to the blindness and inability of the Jews to see with the
necessary spiritual eyes and understanding:
“For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their
ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal
them.' But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they
hear. 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 13:15-17 NIV).
They could not see and understand, because they were inhibited by the Laws (of
God) from perceiving and comprehending the higher reality that confronted them.
The spiritual Christians maintained the the god of the
literal text of the Jews was a Demiurge, and this was initially revealed to them
by Paul -- and then confirmed when they were themselves freed from the illusion
of what Paul called the god of this world. In the same way that
Jesus stated that they are blind and do not hear or understand, Paul warned that
the New Covenant was spiritual, and freed the lost prodigal sons from the
illusion of the "letter that killeth" (see
http://Ebionite.com#defeat ):
"And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that
the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is
abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same
vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away
in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon
their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall
be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Cor 3:13-17 KJV).
In the same way that Paul predicted that Satan would
rule the Church, and would be worshiped as God, the Christian world dwells under
the illusion of the god of this world -- i.e., the Demiurge which is the creator
of illusions -- and has seduced even the elect of the Church into looking to
what Paul called the "letter that killeth"
-- and thus, like the Jews before them, the Christian world can't see through
the vail of illusion. And while they remain under the delusion that
the vail was done away with, because they worship Satan instead of God, they
remain blind and shackled to ignorance by what Jesus portrayed as the
"Citizen... of the Far Country".
And because they have been spiritually slain by the
"letter that killeth" (see
http://Ebionite.com#defeat ), they fail to comprehend the words of Paul that
"...the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is liberty"
To understand why Paul made the prediction that those
who called themselves Christian would worship Satan as God -- and why Jesus
warned that the AntiChrist would fool the very elect of the Church -- it is
necessary to understand the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel.
In this account from Genesis (see
http://DivineStrategery.com#babel ), wherein the people were attempting to
build a tower that reached into the heavens, the Laws of God were invoked to
inhibit them in their efforts to build the Tower. Why?
Because they attempted to build their Tower using only earthly matter, and their
objective was to raise up this Tower to reach the heavens of this world.
And herein lies the problem -- i.e., in the same way that Jesus told the
Pharisees that the Kingdom would never come upon the earth so as to be seen by
men (Luke 17:20-21) -- because it has always been at hand, and was portrayed as
the Kingdom of the Father that each of the prodigal sons abandoned when they
ventured into this, the Far Country. And that the lost
prodigal sons don't remember their own more distant past, is because they have
been cast into the prison that Jesus warned about (see
http://outerdarkness.nazirene.org#ThePrison ) -- and they presently dwell in what
Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of
mind and being (see
http://outerdarkness.nazirene.org ). And that the lost
prodigal sons fail to recognize that they are spiritually blind and do not
perceive -- and it is the Power of the Lesser Laws of God that has brought this
condition of spiritual blindness about -- i.e.,
“For this reason they could not believe, because, as
Isaiah says elsewhere: ‘He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so
they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts’”
(John 12:37-40 NIV). And this condition of blindness and suppressed perception
and comprehension will continue to be imposed upon the prodigal sons, so long as
they continue to cling to the Citizen of the Far Country -- dwelling under the
illusion created by the Demiurge. Therefore, the Kingdom of the
Father from which each of us has journeyed out of,
must be sought within one's self -- what is
earthly must be used as a foundation that enables the seeker to journey within
one's own mind and being, where they will find the
"narrow gate" of TheWay opening unto them. And by using
the Key of Knowledge to open the inner "narrow gate",
they can then enter in the Kingdom (see
http://GateOfEden.com ) and learn directly from the voice of the Lord.
While carnal men who are subject to the Tower of Babel
Syndrome and the illusion of the Demiurge reject this teaching of an inner
Kingdom that the lost prodigal sons can re-enter, this is exactly what is
portrayed in the words: "The LORD your God will make
you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the
increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the
LORD will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, if
you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His
statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the LORD
your God with all your heart and with all your soul. For this commandment
which I command you today, it is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off.
It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend into heaven for us
and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' Nor is it beyond the
sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us,
that we may hear it and do it?' But the word is very near you, in your
mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have set before you
today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love
the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His
statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your
God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart
turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods
and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall
not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and
possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I
have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life,
that both you and your descendants may live" (Deut 30:9-19 NKJ).
What is being conveyed is the necessity to fulfill the
Law and Keep the Commandments -- seeking the Royal Law that is presented in the
inner reality that "...But the word is very near you,
in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it."
Thus, with the proper application of what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge, the
written Law must be used as a catalyst to seek the Spiritual Word that is
written in your heart. And it is this inner reality that Paul
presented in the words: "For this is the covenant that
I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put
My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God,
and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and
none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least
of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.
In that He says, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first obsolete. Now what is
becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away" (Heb
8:10-13 NKJ).
What Christians fail to realize is the fact that the
inner core of Spiritual Jews were themselves Enlightened to these same concepts
presented by Paul -- and they understood that the written word of the Mosaic
Law, was merely a catalyst that was an allegorical shadow of the Royal Law --
and this Royal Law that is the essence of New Covenant teachings, portrays the
Law that is written within all people. As an example of these
Spiritual Jews, I give you the accounts of
Rabbi Isaac Luria and Rabbi Yisrael Ben Eliezer (see
http://TheThreeLies.com#Isaac ). And to understand that what is
portrayed as the Logos (Mind of God), or the Son of God which is portrayed by
the Apostle Peter as the True Prophet (see TrueProphet
) dwells in the heart of all of
mankind as seen in the words:
"...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".
The only means to find and learn
from the Indwelling Logos/Son of God/True Prophet, is to live one's live in
strict accord with the Commandments of God, and seek the Inner Kingdom.
When Paul writes that the essence of the New Covenant
is to bring about that condition where "...None of them
shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother" -- this is because
both the Law and the Gospel are Spiritual -- and what is written is intended to
be a catalyst to open the inner "narrow gate"
to the Kingdom. This Divine Knowledge or Manna that is imparted to
the righteous disciple who seeks the inner Kingdom, in the Greek language is
called Gnosis. And in the same way that the carnal Jews known
as the Pharisees and Sadducees rejected this essential teaching of the
historical Jesus, the Christians and the religious and secular authorities of
this world, continue to reject these essential spiritual teachings today.
Thus, because they attempt to employ only earthly reasoning in the building of
their tower, they dwell under the Laws that not only inhibits their vision and
understand to that of the illusions of this world -- and these Laws that
according to the scriptures blinds them and makes them deaf, is what is
portrayed as the Demiurge.
In reference to the predictions of Paul with respect
to the "...lawless", he warns that
"...And for this reason God will send them strong
delusion, that they should believe the lie" (II Th 2:11 NKJ).
And it is these Laws of the Left Hand of God that is the creator of the delusion
of the unrighteous and lawless. So, it is not that this world was
created by a Demiurge -- but rather, it is the Laws of Correction that blinds
and limits the vision and understanding of those who live in accord with what
Jesus portrayed as the "Citizen... of the Far Country"
in the parable of the prodigal son.

In what
may on the surface initially appear
to be a divergence from the primary
religious and spiritual theme of
this article, it is important to
demonstrate that modern science has
not only proven the validity of
Mysticism, but that the objective of
all religions is the acquisition of
Gnosis -- or the Divine Manna of the
Kingdom of God. The historical
record demonstrates the perpetual
struggle between the vision of the
Spiritual Mystic who seeks to learn
directly from God -- the Gnostic who
makes claim to spiritual insights
that the common believers who have
traditionally called themselves
Orthodox, are blind to. And the
fact that only now, in our present
time, has modern science been able
to shed light on the controversy, is
of a primary importance to those
seekers of Truth.
The
Church Father Origen who was
esteemed as the greatest Christian
authority after the disciples,
portrayed those who could believe
the absurdities of the written word
of the scriptures as being
historically and spiritually true,
to be simpleminded idiots. The
Church Historian Eusebius portrays
these people who are so gullible, as
men of small intellect. Once
rightly understood, the scriptures
were in fact expressly composed in
such a way so that people of a
rational and intelligent mind will
reject the written word of the
quasi-historical narrative which
Origen portrays as
"worthless",
and seek the deeper meaning of mind,
soul and spirit. And that the
critics and Atheists have long
ignored the witness of the most
knowledgeable of religious men, and
have continually chosen to disparage
the ignorant blind believer, is not
only evidence of their own folly,
but proof of their intellectual
bankruptcy.
On
September 8th, 2008, I made a Blog
entry entitled:
Reply: The God Who Wasn't There.
And because of it's importance to
the questions raised in this present
article, I will copy and make
further relevant comments below:
Reply: The God
Who Wasn't There
Greetings
Hal:
In reading
about your
DVD entitled
The God Who
Wasn't There,
there is an
important
element to
the equation
that is
totally
absent from
what you are
presenting
-- and that
element is
the fact
that the
scriptures
were written
by Gnostic
Mystics --
composed for
those who
seek the
Ebionite
Nazirene
path of
TheWay. And
what this
means is
that none of
the people
you
interviewed
-- whether
they are
true
believers
(Fundamentalists),
accepted
scholars and
historians,
or any
variety of
philosophers
and clergy
-- all the
opinions and
positions
that you
present is
mere
speculation,
because the
people you
interviewed
neither
understand
the original
objective of
the
scriptures,
or the
spiritual
language of
the soul
that the
scriptures
are written
in. Like all
such
spiritual
writings,
the Gospels
emphatically
state that
the
personage of
Jesus did
not openly
reveal what
was called
the
Mysteries of
the Kingdom
of God to
the
multitude of
people --
i.e.,
"And the
disciples
came and
said to Him,
Why do You
speak to
them in
parables? He
answered and
said to
them,
Because it
has been
given to you
to know the
mysteries of
the kingdom
of heaven,
but to them
it has not
been given"
(Matt
13:10-11 NKJ).
To the
degree that
Paul, who
had been
taken up
into the
Kingdom,
stated that
without the
transformation
of the lower
nature that
is essential
to the
mystical
path of
TheWay, that
the
believers
will look
upon the
Mysteries of
the Kingdom
as
"foolishness"
(
http://DivineManna.org#literal
). Which
means that
even in my
attempt to
explain the
mass
confusion
with respect
to those who
attempt to
read the
scriptures
without
having
brought
about the
necessary
spiritual
transformation
of the lower
nature, the
very words
that I
express will
be rejected
and seen as
"foolishness".
Paul
portrayed
the written
word of the
scriptures
as the
"letter that
killeth"
(see
http://Ebionite.com/defeat.htm
). Why? It
is
impossible
to
understand
the inner
spiritual
meaning of
the
scriptures,
without the
transformation,
opening and
Anointing of
the mind of
the disciple
-- i.e.,
"Then opened
He their
understanding,
that they
might
understand
the
scriptures"
(Luke
24:45).
And the fact
that the
Pharisees
had thrown
away what
Jesus called
the Key of
Knowledge (
http://KeyOfKnowledge.org
), and
attempted to
read the
scriptures
without
first
bringing
about the
necessary
spiritual
transformation
and this
opening and
enlightenment
of the mind,
is why Jesus
portrayed
them as the
offspring of
the Devil --
i.e.,
"Why do you
not
understand
My speech?
Because you
are not able
to listen to
My word. You
are of your
father the
devil, and
the desires
of your
father you
want to do.
He was a
murderer
from the
beginning,
and does not
stand in the
truth,
because
there is no
truth in
him. When he
speaks a
lie, he
speaks from
his own
resources,
for he is a
liar and the
father of
it"
(John
8:43-44 NKJ).
And once you
begin to
truly
understand
what is
being
portrayed in
the above
words, all
the
authorities
who you have
interviewed
not only
study the
written word
of the
scriptures
"...from
[their] own
(carnal
organic)
resources
-- but that
they each
fail to
understand
that they
are
"...speak[ing]
from [their]
own
resources"
-- and thus,
the whole
framework of
their
thinking is
drawn from a
mindset that
parallels
that of the
Pharisees
who Jesus
condemned as
not
understanding
the true
meaning of
the
scriptures.
To even
begin to
understand
what I have
presented to
you in the
above, and
why Jesus
portrayed
the Torah
Observant
Pharisees as
the
offspring of
the Devil,
you must
first
understand
why Jesus
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 it is
in this one
very
important
statement
that neither
believer,
nonbeliever,
clergy,
scholar or
critic
understands,
that is the
paramount
cause of
their error
and folly.
Who is the
One Teacher?
Among the
original
Ebionite
Nazirene
disciples of
Jesus who
were
condemned by
both the
Jews and the
Christians,
the One
Teacher was
portrayed as
the True
Prophet (
http://TheThreeLies.com#TrueProphet
) -- and it
was warned
that only
those who
become the
"good
ground"
in the
parable of
the
Sower and
the Seed,
can be
taught by
the True
Prophet --
to the
degree that
they can
themselves
become
Anointed
(Messiah/Christ)--
i.e.,
"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. And
now, little
children,
abide in
Him, that
when He
appears, we
may have
confidence
and not be
ashamed
before Him
at His
coming. If
you know
that He is
righteous,
you know
that
everyone who
practices
righteousness
is born of
Him"
(1 Jn
2:26-29 NKJ).
The
necessary
"...practice
[of]
righteousness"
has
absolutely
nothing in
common with
the blind
belief of
manmade
Church
doctrines
which is
promoted by
Christians
today -- but
rather, the
very
thinking,
lifestyle
and mindset
of the
sincere
seeker who
strives to
do as Jesus
taught, and
seek the
Kingdom
(within).
It has been
speculated
that those
writings
known as the
Clementine
Homilies
(the
disciple of
the Apostle
Peter),
represents
the original
Ebionite
Nazirene
teachings
which have
long been
suppressed
by the
Church --
and it is in
these
writings
that the
above
reference to
the One
Teacher is
explained by
Peter where
it is
written:
"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”.
And this was
the very
reason that
Yeshua
stated to
the
Pharisees
that the
Kingdom
would never
come upon
the earth in
the manner
that carnal
men look for
it -- for it
is within
you (Luke
17:20-21) --
which
reality is
further
detailed at
http://GateOfEden.com
).
While
your
authorities
correctly
state that:
"The Jesus
of the
Gospels
bears a
striking
resemblance
to other
ancient
heroes and
the
figureheads
of pagan
savior
cults"
-- and while
this is a
typical
statement by
countless
scholars and
historians,
because they
each fail to
understand
both the
objective of
the
scriptures,
as well as
the language
of the soul
the
scriptures
are written
in -- they
all arrive
at an
equally
flawed
conclusion.
And once
this flawed
conclusion
is
understood,
their error
is equal to
those who
you portray
as the
"Contemporary
Christians
[who] are
largely
ignorant of
the origins
of their
religion."
But this
same warning
was
presented
from a very
different
perspective
in the
words:
“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”
(A. Powell
Davies
quoted by
Millar
Burrows in
More Light
on the Dead
Sea Scrolls).
The problem
that the
scholars who
note the
"...striking
resemblance
to other
ancient
heroes and
the
figureheads
of pagan
savior
cults",
is seen in
the fact
that the
accounts of
these other
ancient
heroes are
also written
in the
language of
the soul,
and neither
are these
other
religions
which are
put forth as
"...figureheads
of pagan
savior
cults"
understood
with any
greater
depth, than
the mystical
Gnostic
accounts of
the New
Testament.
The great
Truth that
none of the
culturally
accepted
experts,
scholars,
clergy or
philosophers
have all
failed to
understand,
is the fact
that
regardless
of the
ancient
religious
tradition,
the inner
core and
scriptural
authors of
each of
these
ancient
religions,
were all
confronted
by the
profound
reality that
the mind of
organic man
which Paul
portrays as
being of a
"natural"
consciousness
(
http://DivineManna.org#literal
), is
incapable of
understanding
the higher
reality of
the soul and
what Jesus
portrayed as
the
Mysteries of
the Kingdom
of God.
Which means
that in all
cases, not
only were
each of
these
authors and
core
religious
groups
incapable of
portraying
in the
common
language of
their
cultures the
Truth that
they knew --
but that
each of
these
religious
groups had
to employ
the mystic
language of
the soul, in
order to
convey
essential
Truths to
those who
understood
the
objectives
of the
scriptures,
and the
application
of what
Jesus called
the Key of
Knowledge (
http://KeyOfKnowledge.org
).
The Common
Theme and
core of all
religions at
their
essence that
is not
understood
by the outer
body of
believers,
is portrayed
in the
parable of
the Prodigal
Son -- which
in many
respects,
parallels
the analogy
of Plato's
Cave (see
http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato
--
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”.
That the
vast
majority of
people are
totally
ignorant of
not only the
true meaning
of the
scriptures,
but also the
higher
reality of
their own
souls and
the
Mysteries of
the Kingdom
of God, is
because they
dwell in
what Jesus
portrayed as
the
"outer
darkness"
of mind and
being (see
http://outerdarkness.nazirene.org
). Thus, the
common
symbols of
all
religions,
represent
the
universal
journey of
the soul
that only a
handful of
seekers ever
truly come
to
understand
the reality
of. That
these
symbols
employed in
the
scriptures
are
themselves
universal,
is portrayed
by
G.R.S. Mead
in his book
entitled
Fragments of
a Faith
Forgotten,
where 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”.
And 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.
Moreover,
while the
body of
believes
don't
themselves
understand
the inner
spiritual
reality of
the
scriptures,
they are led
to believe
and embrace
them,
because the
universal
symbols used
in the
written
narrative of
the
scriptures
act as a
catalyst
which
connects
them to an
inner
reality of
soul and
spirit that
they don't
yet
comprehend
with any
depth of
understanding.
What all
these
religious
traditions
share in
common, is
that the
inner
spiritually
enlightened
core were
all turned
upon and
murdered
(see
http://Ebionite.com/prologue.htm
), and their
scriptures
which were
promoted by
unenlightened
priests,
politicians
and
institutionalized
religion,
were very
quickly
corrupted
(see
http://BibleCorruption.com
). Few
people ever
come to
understand
the Laws (
http://DivineStrategery.com#TheLaws
) which hold
them
spellbound
in the
illusion of
Plato's Cave
-- which
Jesus
portrayed as
a type of
prison.
And it is
for this
reason that
the Apostle
Peter in the
Homilies
warns with
respect to
the True
Prophet that
Jesus
portrayed as
the One
Teacher:
“Hence, O
beloved
Clement",
proclaims
Peter,
“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 the
philosophical
and
theological
premise that
all your
quoted
authorities
(pro and
con) begin
on, is that
Jesus was
wrong and
did not know
what he was
saying.
All those
who escape
the illusion
of
Plato's Cave
, come to
understand
the journey
of the soul
from the
Alpha of
absolute
ignorance,
to the Omega
of
Enlightened
Light and
Knowledge,
which must
be
accomplished
over the
course of
many
lifetimes.
And the fact
that this
essential
teaching was
removed and
outlawed
from
Christianity,
is easily
demonstrated
(see
http://ChristianReincarnation.org
). And once
the mystical
path of
TheWay is
truly
understood
-- and the
fact that
the escape
from the
illusion of
Plato's Cave
is through
an inner
dimension of
mind -- only
then can the
sincere
seeker begin
to
understand
the reason
why Jesus
taught the
necessity of
living the
Consecrated
Life in
TheWay --
seeking to
transform
yourself
into what is
portrayed by
AskMoses.com
as the Final
Temple (see
http://TheThreeLies.com#temple
) -- and
this will
enable you
to enter
within the
Holy of
Holies
within you,
and learn
from the
True Prophet
who will not
only open
and Anoint
your mind
and
understanding,
but will
reveal all
the
Mysteries of
life, the
soul, and
the Kingdom
to the few
who prepare
themselves
to make the
journey. And
that those
who are
quoted in
the DVD The
God Who Was
Not have not
themselves
made the
necessary
journey in
TheWay --
and
themselves
dwell under
the illusion
of Plato's
cave and the
"outer
darkness",
is the
reason why
they fail to
understand
the the
historical
Jesus was a
man who
overcame the
Laws within
himself, and
achieved
Absolute
Unity with
the Logos of
God.
GodSpeed in
TheWay,

Yeshua

As
evidence of their own ignorance,
Atheists, and people of a linear
mindset, are of the impression
that religions are concocted in
people's minds, in order to
explain away phenomena that they
don't understand. In a high
school text book, I observed
that Buddhism was portrayed as
being superior to Hinduism
because it wasn't as pagan, but
in this school text book
Buddhism was faulted for
"having borrowed the
belief in reincarnation from
Hinduism".
While I am not in any way a
Buddhist, what I found
objectionable was the
secularized Atheistic spin that
was presented to the students --
and we see this often in the
secular Atheistic position that
religions merely borrow beliefs
from other religions, in order
to explain away phenomena. In
fact, I directly address
this folly in my Blog article
which is a reply to the DVD
entitled, The
God Who Wasn't There .
Contrary to the folly of their
thinking, the similarities
between the exoteric allegorical
scriptures of all religions is
not the result of borrowing
religious beliefs -- but rather,
the fact that all religions have
the same spiritual objective --
and the fact that they are all
striving to overcome the same
universal Laws and limitations
of consciousness, mind and
being, within themselves.
Science Proves The Gnostic
Vision: Quoting at the
link
http://UnityOfMind.org#blemish
: In his
book, Urbausteine der Materie,
physicist Walter Thirring wrote
about matter that modern physics
“...has put our thinking
about the essence of matter in a
different context. It has
taken our gaze from the visible
- the particles - to the
underlying entity, the field.
The presence of matter is merely
a disturbance of the perfect
state of the field at that
place; something accidental, one
could almost say, a ‘blemish’.
Accordingly, there are no simple
laws describing the forces
between elementary particles…
Order and symmetry must be
sought in the underlying field.”
One of the primary realities
that science has to come to
terms with in order to advance
beyond their present level, is
the fact that physical matter is
the result of the forces in the
Etheric Field coming together,
causing what Walter Thirring
describes as a
"blemish"
that we observe with our organic
physical senses. And what this
is, is Darwinism in reverse --
i.e., the Field is the Source
which impresses the aspect of
mind and consciousness into the
form of matter that we
observe. The problem is that
to the organic mind of both the
faith-based believer, as well as
the Atheist, what modern science
has proven is simply beyond
their ability to even
contemplate.
Quoting at the link
http://UnityOfMind.org#GreatMind
:
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.”
This is why Mystics who have
walked the spiritual path in
search of Gnosis and the Divine
Manna or the Kingdom, have
traditionally warned others that
what they see with their
physical eyes -- i.e., the
objects that appear to their
organic mind as being concrete
and solid matter -- is merely an
illusion. And thus it is this
world of illusion that is
created by the limitations of
each person's own mind that is
portrayed by the Gnostics as the
Demiurge of a counterfeit
creator, and it the illusion
that man must escape in the
analogy
of
Plato's Cave . And
just as important is the
statement at the link
http://UnityOfMind.org#illusion
:
In a
February 1979 Psychology
Today interview with brain
scientist Karl Pribram, the
world which he attempted to
describe confirmed the vision
witnessed by the Hebrew prophet
and confirmed in the Bible:
“It isn’t
that the world of appearances is
wrong; it isn’t that there
aren’t objects out there, at one
level of reality. It’s that if
you penetrate through and look
at the universe with a
holographic system, you arrive
at a different reality, one that
can explain things that have
hitherto remained scientifically
inexplicable: paranormal
phenomena… synchronicities, the
apparently meaningful
coincidence of events”.
What this confirms is the fact
that the objects in the outer
world that we observe with our
physical senses, are in reality
allegorical symbols of mind
impressed into the forms of
matter by the forces in the
underlying Etheric Field -- and
the forms that we observe,
represents a psychic/mental
impression of the thought form
of mind that it denotes to our
own, and the Universal
Consciousness. And this is
why, while Eastern mysticism
portrays matter as an illusion,
Western Gnosticism understands
that the illusion is more
factually an allusion. Which
means that a dog, appears to
us in that physical forum,
because of the underlying aspect
of mind and consciousness that
is represented in the form of a
dog. And a swine, is a swine,
because of the underlying aspect
of mind and consciousness that
is represented in the form of
the swine. From a biblical
perspective, the swine is an
unclean animal, because of the
thought-pattern and
consciousness that is
represented in the (allegorical)
form of the swine as presented
to our organic senses. And
this is true of all the forms
that we observe in the outer
world -- and especially the
human body, which is
an allegorical blueprint of our
own minds impressed into the
forms that make up the
body-vessel in which we dwell.
And the fact that these
universal (allegorical) symbols
of mind which are impressed into
the forms of nature, is the
basis of why it appears that
religions borrow beliefs from
other religions (see
http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2008/09/reply-god-who-wasnt-there.html ).
Mystics are those who seek to
become spiritual scientists.
If, as
astronomer
Arthur Eddington states, that
“The stuff of the universe is
mind-stuff” --
then the only way to explore
beyond the borders of this world
of illusion, is to develop one's
own mind to pierce the cloak
that limits the physical sensed
of organic man to the three
dimensions of this world. And
it is the voice of the Mystic
that has perpetually stated to
the rest of mankind: If you want
to see and know that I have seen
and know, then you have to do
and accomplish that I have
myself done with my own mind and
life! And the fact that one of
the objectives of the Mystic is
to observe
this world from a point just
outside of the illusion of
physical matter, in many ways it
is the Mystic who has proven the
assertion of the modern
physicist who has stated that "...The
presence of matter is merely a
disturbance of the perfect state
of the field at that place;
something accidental, one could
almost say, a ‘blemish’." (see
above). The Mystic has
therefore found that with the
right training and discipline,
that he can move into "...the
perfect state of the field",
and observe this world from the
perspective of the Etheric Field
-- i.e., the source, rather than
the illusion of the symbolism of
what man's sees as concrete
matter.
With respect to the perception
of the physical senses and
limited understanding of the
organic mind of carnal man,
Jesus said of those of his
disciples who followed in
TheWay:
“Unto you it is given to know
the mystery of the kingdom of
God: but unto them that are
without, all these things are
done in parables: That seeing
they may see, and not perceive;
and hearing they may hear, and
not understand” (Mark
4:11-12 KJV). Why did Jesus
warn that the senses and
understanding of organic man
"...see, and not perceive"?
Why
did they
"...hear, and not understand”?
Because, unlike the spiritual
man -- i.e., the Gnostic who
walks the mystical path of
TheWay -- the organic mind of
man is blind to not only the
realities in what the modern
scientist has demonstrated to be
the Etheric Field that is the
source of all the forums of this
world -- and that the Gnostic
sees what organic man is blind
to, and understands the higher
reality of the soul and the
Mysteries of the Kingdom,
because he has removed the beam
from his own eyes, that he may
see what others are blind to:
"Why do
you see the speck that is in
your brother's eye, but do not
notice the log that is in your
own eye? Or how can you say to
your brother, 'Let me take the
speck out of your eye,' when
there is the log in your own
eye? You hypocrite, first take
the log out of your own eye, and
then you will see clearly to
take the speck out of your
brother's eye" (Matt
7:3-5 RSV).
The Gospel is in fact a
declaration that while all men
have the potential to open their
mind and senses to the higher
reality beyond the
three-dimensional limitations of
this world that the Gnostic has
long portrayed as an illusion
that is an allusion, few people
are actually willing to live the
Consecrated Life that Jesus
taught was necessary to Expand
and prepare the mind to be
Anointed, that enables the
person to see and understand the
higher reality of all things --
both in this world, and
beyond. And while
pseudo-religious men and
pseudo-intellectuals have
attempted to dismiss the
mystical Gnostic foundations of
all religions, modern science
has succeeded in breaking
through the barrier of ignorance
with which organic man has
immersed himself in the illusion
of doctrinal and philosophical
confusion.
And the fact that modern science
has now begun to open the door
that proves the fundamental
truths that the teachings of
Jesus and the Gnostic
foundations of religion has long
expressed -- scientific truths
that are presented at
http://UnityOfMind.org --
indicates that if the scientist
now wishes to begin to prove his
own findings beyond his present
state of maturity, then he will
have to begin to listen more
intently to Mystics, and
especially True Gnostics, who
have not limited themselves to
the fossilized thinking of man's
past -- i.e.,
“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).
Science
has proven that the world is not
what it appears to be to the
physical senses of the body -- and
those who were declared heretics
throughout history, were often the
few who were right.

When approached by the Canaanite
woman to heal her daughter, Jesus said: "I
was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel" (Matt 15:24).
Why? Why was Jesus sent only to the lost sheep of the House of
Israel? And who is the House of Israel? In not
understanding the answer these questions, it remains virtually impossible for
modern Christians to understand one of the most important realities of the Gospel message.
While the traditional answer would be that Jesus was making reference to the
Jews, this answer is assumed, because there is a missing element to the equation
that is not rightly understood. Jesus clearly portrayed the
Torah Observant Jewish leaders as the offspring of the Devil, as seen in the
statement as to why they did not, and could not, understand his teachings:
"Why do you not understand My speech?
Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil,
and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the
father of it" (John 8:43-44 NKJ). Which
is why many of the earliest Christians portrayed the Pharisees and Sadducees as
counterfeit Israel.
An important missing part of the equation is found in the quotations of Peter that have
been preserved in the Homilies of his disciple Clement. To begin, we
must understand how Peter portrayed the proverbial
Simon Magus in the
Clementine writings where the Apostle
Peter explains that:
"He
is a power of the left hand of God,
and has authority to do harm to
those who know not God..."
Peter then goes on and explains that Simon
"...has been able to involve you in
diseases; but by these very
diseases,
which have been permitted
to come upon you by the good
providence of God, you, seeking and
finding him who is able to cure,
have been compelled to submit to the
will of God on the occasion of the
cure of the body, and to think of
believing, in order that in this way
you may have your souls as well as
your bodies in a healthy state."
First it must be
recognized that disease, strife, hardships and sufferings, all serve a higher
purpose.
The question set before us is how can God raise
up and imbue a person with the "authority"
to inflict harm upon mankind who are portrayed as
"...those who know not God"?
The portrayal of God in the Old Testament proclaims with respect to
the source of what man calls evil: "I form the light
and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these
things.'" (Isa 45:7 NKJ). And in his ignorance of the Laws, man
condemns what he does not understand -- and in his blind condemnation of what he
fails to understand, he remains ignorant of the true cause of what he proclaims
to be evil -- i.e., "Shall a trumpet be blown in the
city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD
hath not done it?" (Amos 3:6 KJV). Thus, there is nothing that
exists in this world, that has not been orchestrated and brought about by the
Laws of God -- i.e., "The LORD of hosts has sworn,
saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, and as I have
purposed, so it shall stand" (Isa 14:24 NKJ). And until a man
begins to understand the true source and purpose of what he calls evil, he
cannot know anything of any true substance. If, as Jesus confirms,
that not even a single sparrow can fall to the earth apart from the Will of God,
then the source and calamities of evil that befall mankind, are the result of
the Laws that return to each person the fruit of their own previous actions.
Thus, Jesus warns the man who he previously healed by making him whole:
"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, and do cause
"...a worse thing [to] come unto [us]", how is
this tribulation brought about? 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).
And it is these Laws that mature the lost prodigal son -- driving him from the
Alpha of Ignorance and Unknowing to the Omega of Perfection and Enlightened
Light enabling him to return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.
In referencing these Laws that were put into
effect in the beginning of the Alpha of Creation and what is portrayed as The
Two Princes, Peter then explains:
"For
thus from the beginning was a law
laid by God, the Creator of all
things, on each of the two princes,
him of the right hand and him of the
left, that neither should have power
over any one whom they might wish to
benefit or to hurt, unless first he
had sat down at the same table with
them. As, then, when you partook of
meat offered to idols, you became
servants to the prince of evil, in
like manner, if you cease from these
things, and flee for refuge to God
through the good Prince of His right
hand, honoring Him without
sacrifices, by doing whatsoever He
wills, know of a truth that not only
will your bodies be healed, but your
souls also will become healthy. For
He only, destroying with His left
hand, can quicken with His right; He
only can both smite and raise the
fallen."
Jesus was sent
"...only to the lost sheep of
Israel", because as a
servant of the Right Hand, he was
barred by the Laws from intervening
in the lives of those who were under
the dominion of the Prince of the
Left Hand. In like
manner, it is near
impossible to understand the Gospel
account of Jesus and the Syro-Phoenician
woman, without understanding what
Peter stated in the above quotation
with respect to the Laws. Thus, it
is written:
"For a woman whose young daughter
had an unclean spirit heard about
Him, and she came and fell at His
feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician
by birth, and she kept asking Him to
cast the demon out of her daughter.
But Jesus said to her, Let the
children be filled first, for it is
not good to take the children's
bread and throw it to the little
dogs. And she answered and said to
Him, Yes, Lord, yet even the little
dogs under the table eat from the
children's crumbs. Then He said to
her, For this saying go your way;
the demon has gone out of your
daughter. And when she had come to
her house, she found the demon gone
out, and her daughter lying on the
bed" (Mark 7:25-30 NKJ).
Why did Jesus not immediately help
her? Why did he portray the woman
as a dog? What is the spiritual
meaning of the children's bread
which is served at the Table --
bread that cannot be eaten by those
portrayed as dogs? And, the Laws
which were instituted by God in the
beginning, inhibited those on the
Right Hand such as Jesus, from
relieving the infirmities of those
who sat down at the table on the
Left -- people who Jesus portrayed
as dwelling in the
"outer
darkness" of mind and
being (see
Outer Darkness) -- and even
existing in a type of Prison (see
The Prison).
And with respect to the Two Princes,
again Peter explains:
"But
that this is so, has been said even
by the law in the person of God: ‘I
will kill, and, I will make alive; I
will strike, and I will heal. For,
in truth, He kills and makes alive.
He kills through the left hand, that
is, through the evil one, who has
been so composed as to rejoice in
afflicting the impious. And he saves
and benefits through the right band,
that is, through the good one, who
has been made to rejoice in the good
deeds and salvation of the
righteous."
Where Peter explains
"...that neither [Prince} should
have power over any one whom they
might wish to benefit or to hurt,
unless first he had sat down at the
same table with them",
it must be
understood that the food that one
receives at the Table with the
Prince of the Left or Right Hands,
is the knowledge or nourishment that
is the foundation of the thinking,
mindset and resulting lifestyle that
is lived out by the lost prodigal
sons. Where it states in
the Revelation that
"To him who
overcomes will I give to eat of the
hidden manna" (see
Opening
The Eyes Of The Heart - Rev
2:8-17), this
"hidden manna"
is the the Knowledge/Gnosis or the
Divine Manna that can only be
imparted to the seeker directly from
the Indwelling Logos and True
Prophet (see
The True Prophet) -- who is the
ONLY TEACHER that Jesus commanded to
seek out and learn from.
In prayer Peter states:
"Deliver
me, O Lord of all, from Thy fearful
judgment. Do not give the enemy
power to swallow me up, and to
become heir of my soul, as of that
of him who is hanging on the left;
for I see how the devil joyfully
takes his soul, and his body
disappears."
But Christians today are as the men
of Nineveh of whom it is said:
"And should I
not pity Nineveh, that great city,
in which are more than one hundred
and twenty thousand persons who
cannot discern between their right
hand and their left?"
(Jonah 4:11 NKJ). For as it was
said to Job:
"Then I will
also confess to you that your own
right hand can save you" (Job 40:14
NKJ). And in the Psalms: "You will
show me the path of life; in Your
presence is fullness of joy; at Your
right hand are pleasures
forevermore... Though I walk in the
midst of trouble, You will revive
me; you will stretch out Your hand
against the wrath of my enemies, and
Your right hand will save me"
(Ps 16:11;138:7 NKJ). Which is the
reason why Jesus said that those on
the right will enter into life,
while those on the left will inherit
the tribulation of their deeds and
ways: "Then
He will also say to those on the
left hand, 'Depart from Me, you
cursed, into the everlasting fire
prepared for the devil and his
angels" (Matt 25:41 NKJ)
The Counterfeit Shadow Church Ruled Over By The
Prince Of the Left Hand: While Christians are under the belief that they
are the authentic Church of Christ, the above statement taken from the Shepherd
of Hermas (see Opening The Eyes Of The Heart)
puts the reality of the modern Christian world in the true perspective -- i.e.,
“If you
bear His name but possess not His power, it will be in vain that you bear His
name”. This same
reality can of course be portrayed in the words: "And
why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke
6:46 KJV). Which reality is further expressed in the words:
"Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you,
saying: 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their
lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as
doctrines the commandments of men' " (Matt 15:7-9 NKJ).
And that those who dwell under the control of the Prince of the Left Hand is the
reason why only Jesus' disciples could understand the higher reality of the soul
and the Mysteries of the Kingdom -- i.e.,
"Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are
without, all things are done in parables: that seeing they may see, and not
perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should
turn again, and it should be forgiven them" (Mark 4:11-12 ASV).
And thus, the Prince of the Right Hand which modern Christians attempt to seek
with the words of their lips, can't reach out to them, because the Church itself
dwells under the dominion of the Prince of the Left Hand -- having entered into
a covenant with Pagan Rome wherein a series of Roman Emperors dictated the
doctrines of belief of the Christian world (see
The Religion Of Roman
Emperors). And as presented in the above (see
The Two Princes), because the Christian world
entered into a covenant with the Prince of the Left Hand, the Prince of the
Right hand is barred from helping them.
Many Christians claim that the Bible is the
infallible word of God? And even though the overwhelming evidence
proves that the Bible has been severely corrupted (see
BibleCorruption.com), the
modern Christian world clings to this spiritual fraud because having entered
into a covenant with pagan Rome, they continue to dwell under the power of the
Prince of the Left Hand. And while they call upon the name of the
Lord, the Prince of the Right Hand can't come to them, because He is barred by
the Laws as presented in the above (see The Two Princes).
The Left Hand is portrayed in the
literal text -- and is especially
seen in the Mosaic Law of
Karmic-Retribution that perpetually
returns back to us the fruit of our
own thoughts, desires and actions --
i.e.,
"Do not be
deceived, God is not mocked; for
whatever a man sows, that he will
also reap" (Gal 6:7 NKJ).
A most profound statement by the
Church Father Origen is basically
rejected by the people of the simple
faith today who are incapable of
reason and engaging the mind in the
process of true spiritual growth.
What does Origen state:
“What man of sense will agree with
the statement that the first, second
and third days in which the evening
is named and the morning, were
without sun, moon and stars, and the
first day without a heaven.
What man is found such an
idiot as to suppose that God planted
trees in paradise in Eden, like a
husbandman, and planted therein the
tree of life, perceptible to the
eyes and senses, which gave life to
the eater thereof; and another tree
which gave to the eater thereof a
knowledge of good and evil?
I believe that every man must
hold these things for images, under
which the hidden sense lies
concealed” (Origen
- Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p.
142).
Jesus Said:
The God Of The Jews Was The Devil
And Because
The Church Has Embraced The Way of
the Jews
The Devil Is
The Christian God Today!
Jesus said that the God of the Jews
was the Devil. Paul called the
reading of the literal written word
of the Old Testament in the manner
that Fundamentalist do today the
"letter that
killeth" -- meaning that
it is the path to spiritual death.
In the writings of his disciple
Clement, Peter called the Old
Testament written word the
"...books with
the power to deceive".
And the Jewish mystic who spends his
life seeking the inner meaning of
the written word that the natural
mind of man is incapable of seeing,
has warned:
"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..."
(the
Zohar quoted in
No Jew Has Read The Torah).
The Church Father Origen proclaimed
those who are so gullible to believe
the literal written word of the Old
Testament idiots! Peter said what
appears to be historical never
happened. Paul called the literal
text an allegory.
In the exact same manner as the
enlightened Jewish Rabbi's, the
early Christian Church Father Origen
writes:
“It is sufficient however, to
represent in the style of a historic
narrative what is intended to convey
a secret meaning in the garb of
history, that those who have the
capacity may work out for themselves
all that relates to the subject.”
And with regard to what would
otherwise be historical symbols and
events that would appear to us as
the knowledge of superficial
episodes of the past, Origen writes:
“I believe that every man must hold
these things for images, under which
the hidden sense lies concealed”
(Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167
Franck, p. 142).
Students of Hebrew Mysticism will
perceive that what the third-century
Christian Church Father Origen wrote
was no different than what is
contained in the Zohar, where it
states:
“The narratives of the doctrine are
its cloak. The simple look only on
the garment, that is upon the
narrative of the doctrine; more they
know not. The instructed, however,
see not merely the cloak, but what
the cloak covers”.
These
great truths are again demonstrated
in the words of Moses Maimonedes,
one of
the most respected of Jewish
theologians, historian, and
Talmudist, where he writes about the
nature of scripture:
“Every time that you find in our
books a tale the reality of which
seems impossible, a story which is
repugnant to both reason and common
sense, then be sure that the tale
contains a profound allegory veiling
a deeply mysterious truth; and the
greater the absurdity of the letter,
the deeper the wisdom of the spirit”. These same truths are again
conveyed to us in the words of the
Church Historian Eusebius:
“Many were led astray by reading the
allegorical contents of the
scriptures literally in the method
of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”.
What these symbols truly mean is
perhaps best expressed by G.R.S.
Mead in his celebrated work,
Fragments of a Faith Forgotten,
where he explained that, once
properly understood, the true
meaning of what is
“…projected onto the screen…”
of the scriptures,
“…was in reality a picture of
their [man’s] own minds”.
In view of the fact that Yeshua
himself taught that the Kingdom of
God is within us (Luke 17:20-21),
that the scriptures were in fact a
blueprint of man’s own mind begins
to make a great deal of sense.
What Moses
Maimonedes is stating, then, is that
there exists many parts of the
scriptures that are literally and
historically not true. Isn't Paul
stating this exact same truth when
he writes to the Galatians who are
attempting to embrace Jewish
ritualistic ways, and states:
“Tell me, ye that desire to be under
the law, do ye not hear the law?” And then
Paul goes on to explain to those who
want to attempt to read the written
word literally, in an historical
context as Christians do today: “For it
is written, that Abraham had two
sons, the one by a bondmaid, the
other by a freewoman. But he who was
of the bondwoman was born after the
flesh; but he of the freewoman was
by promise. Which things are an
allegory”
(Gal
4:21-24 KJV).
That the Jew who remained of a
natural carnal mindset could not see
beyond the symbols of the allegory,
and their eyes and hearts were
hardened so they could not
comprehend the true meaning of the
scriptures, is readily understood
where Paul states that
“their
minds were blinded” by God, “for
until this day remaineth the same
vail untaken away in the reading of
the old testament… even unto this
day, when Moses is read, the vail is
upon their heart”
(2 Cor 3:14-15
KJV). The time has come for this
vail to be removed from the eyes of
all Jews. What modern non-Jews fail
to realize today, is the reality
that all men of the flesh are
equally blind to the Truth Torah of
God!
From
a spiritual perspective, when the
Jews worship the god of the literal
word -- with rituals, animal
sacrifices, incense, in a temple
made with the hands of men, it can
truly be said that the Jews
worshiped a false god. And what was
it that the scriptures used by the
Jews said:
"The multitude
of your sacrifices-- what are they
to me? says the LORD. I have more
than enough of burnt offerings, of
rams and the fat of fattened
animals; I have no pleasure in the
blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you, this
trampling of my courts? Stop
bringing meaningless offerings! Your
incense is detestable to me. New
Moons, Sabbaths and convocations-- I
cannot bear your evil assemblies.
Your New Moon festivals and your
appointed feasts my soul hates. They
have become a burden to me; I am
weary of bearing them. When you
spread out your hands in prayer, I
will hide my eyes from you; even if
you offer many prayers, I will not
listen. Your hands are full of
blood; wash and make yourselves
clean. Take your evil deeds out of
my sight! Stop doing wrong, learn to
do right! Seek justice, encourage
the oppressed. Defend the cause of
the fatherless, plead the case of
the widow"
(Isa
1:11-17 NIV).
Why does the Most High God take no
pleasure in rituals, sacrifices,
incense, Sabbaths and New Moon
festivals? In the words of the
Church Father Origen:
“I believe that every man must hold
these things for images, under which
the hidden sense lies concealed.”
And in the words of Paul:
"Which things are an allegory.”
And in the words of the Jewish
Mystic:
“The narratives of the doctrine are
its cloak. The simple look only on
the garment, that is upon the
narrative of the doctrine; more they
know not. The instructed, however,
see not merely the cloak, but what
the cloak covers”.
The
Devil -- The God Of The Jews!
The Early Spiritual Christians
Called The God Of The Jews A
Demiurge
Judaism is one of the last surviving
ancient mystery religions -- and
what is a mystery religion? When
Paul wrote:
“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) -- what he was
making reference to was the
inability of man in his natural
state of mind to even begin to
envision man's own higher spiritual
reality that is beyond even the
contemplation of his imagination. And
this is why Paul warned that while
he could only tell the baptized and
confirmed believers at Corinth about
Jesus and him crucified, he could in
no manner convey to them the inner
knowledge and mysteries of the
Gospel -- i.e.,
“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). 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).
When
Paul was taken up into the Kingdom
within (Luke 17:20-21), he said that
he saw
“…things so astounding that they are
beyond a man's power to describe or
put in words…” -- and
warned that those who are permitted
to gaze upon the Mysteries of the
Kingdom, will have witnessed a
higher reality that will be so
profound, that they will
“…not [be]
allowed to tell them to others”
(2 Cor 12:4 TLB).
And
Paul warned those who are under the
grave misconception that they can
simply read the literal text of the
scriptures and ascertain the Word of
God, that they were greatly deceived
-- i.e.,
“And if anyone
thinks that he knows anything, he
knows nothing yet as he ought to
know”
(1 Cor 8:2 NKJ). For if it
were possible for a man to simply
open the scriptures and be able to
discern the Truth and Reality that
was beyond natural human
comprehension, 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).
Surely, if the natural mind of man
was capable of understanding, the
prophets and righteous men of old
could have opened the scriptures and
learned the Mysteries of the Kingdom
of God -- but as Paul confirmed,
such a thing was impossible. And
it was for this reason that Jesus
had to open the minds of his
disciples to the inner meaning of
the scriptures -- i.e.,
"Then opened
he their understanding, that they
might understand the scriptures"
(Luke 24:45 KJV) -- but if the inner
revelation of the scriptures was
limited to the testimony of
"...Jesus
Christ, and him crucified"
(1 Cor 2:2 KJV) -- but the spiritual
revelation that can only be revealed
to the mind of those who are mature,
and have undergone the process of
spiritual transformation:
"However, we
speak wisdom among those who are
mature, yet not the wisdom of this
age, nor of the rulers of this age,
who are coming to nothing. But we
speak the wisdom of God in a
mystery, the hidden wisdom which God
ordained before the ages for our
glory, which none of the rulers of
this age knew; for had they known,
they would not have crucified the
Lord of glory. But as it is written:
'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor have entered into the heart of
man the things which God has
prepared for those who love Him.'
But God has revealed them to us
through His Spirit. For the Spirit
searches all things, yes, the deep
things of God. For what man knows
the things of a man except the
spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of
God except the Spirit of God. Now we
have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the Spirit who is from
God, that we might know the things
that have been freely given to us by
God. These things we also speak, not
in words which man's wisdom teaches
but which the Holy Spirit teaches,
comparing spiritual things with
spiritual. 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. But
he who is spiritual judges all
things, yet he himself is rightly
judged by no one. 'who has known the
mind of the Lord that he may
instruct Him?' But we have the mind
of Christ" (1 Cor 2:6-16
NKJ).
The Demiurge -- God Of The Jews:
The earliest Christians affirmed
these words of Paul, and stated that
the god of the Jews of a natural
mind was a lesser god, and not the
God of Jesus -- and what was being
made reference to, was the lesser
Laws of the Left Hand of Correction
which blinded those in what Jesus
called the
"outer darkness" (
http://outerdarkness.nazirene.org
) in a world of illusion.
And
because most Christians lack insight
into the manner in which the
scriptures are written, they make
the fatal mistake of judging what
they don't understand.
Once properly
understood, it was for good reason
that the Spiritual Christians who
were the disciples of Paul called
the god of the Jews a Demiurge -- a
lesser god. In full agreement,
Jesus said that these ritually
Torah observant keepers of the
Law worship the Devil -- "Why
do you not understand My speech?
Because you are not able to listen
to My word. You are of your father
the devil, and the desires of your
father you want to do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and
does not stand in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he
speaks a lie, he speaks from his own
resources, for he is a liar and the
father of it" (John 8:43-44 NKJ).
The later Church of Rome
condemned the Spiritual Christians
because they said that the god of
the Jews was not the God of Jesus --
and in the above Jesus confirms that
position to be true. And in the
same way, because the modern
Christians have all been shackled to
the worship of the same lesser god
of the Left Hand, what Jesus said to
them is true of the Christians
today. And because people fail to
comprehend the nature of what Peter
describes as the Mystery of the
Books that have the power to deceive
-- wherein, the Left Hand which is
the karmic-corrective Mosaic Law of
Retribution which is portrayed in
the literal text, while it is the
inner Spirit that reveals the Right
Hand that heals and frees men from
the karmic shackles of their own
past -- in worshiping the god of the
literal, they worship the devil.
But because they lack an
understanding of the manner in which
the scriptures are composed in the
language of the soul, the vast
majority of Christians reject the
Spirit and embrace the letter that
killeth -- and thereby worship the
Demiurge of the Pharisees.

The Church Of
The AntiChrist
The Prediction That Satan Would Rule
The Church: In total
disregard of the admonition of the
scriptures themselves, the greater
majority of Christians believe that
the church is beyond the reach of
Satan -- that God somehow drew a
line that Satan cannot cross over --
and because of this force of Divine
protection, Satan has not immersed
himself in every aspect of their
lives! Yet, to
their own detriment, the leaders of
the modern church ignore the warning
of the Apostle:
“let no man
beguile you in any wise: for (it
will not be,) except the falling
away come first, and the man of sin
be revealed, the son of perdition,
he that opposeth and exalteth
himself against all that is called
God or that is worshipped; so that
he sitteth in the temple of God,
setting himself forth as God” (2 Thes 2:3-4 ASV).
What the Apostle is herein very
clearly predicting is that there
would come a time when the god of
the Christian Church will be a false
god.
Historically speaking, it has been
almost universally recognized that
the period in time that the Apostle
could have been referring to was in
the fourth century when the church
made a covenant with the Roman
Emperor Constantine.
With regard to this falling
away, the Adam Clark Commentary
writes of this passage of Paul's
Epistle:
“[Except there
come a falling away first] We have
the original word apostasia in our
word apostasy; and by this term we
understand a dereliction of the
essential principles of religious
truth, either a total abandonment of
Christianity itself, or such a
corruption of its doctrines as
renders the whole system completely
inefficient to salvation. But what
this apostasy means is a question
which has not yet, and perhaps never
will be, answered to general
satisfaction”
(from the Adam Clarke Commentary).
Not to depreciate or make less
the significance of any one of the
individual statements presented in
the above words, what the modern
believer must recognized is the
far-reaching totality of the
statement:
“But
what this apostasy means is a
question which has not yet, and
perhaps never will be, answered to
general satisfaction”.
Ultimately, what this
means to the modern believer is that
each and every church authority from
the fourth-century to the present,
as well as every single preacher of
the gospel, speaks from the position
of concession -- which concession is
that there is a great void in their
knowledge of the truth.
Thus, one of the core
presumptions upon which our
present-day doctrine of faith is
based, is that these words of the
Apostle Paul are not true.
One of the major causes of the
present state of doctrinal chaos is
the failure of modern pastors and
church authorities to recognize that
the key to their dilemma is found in
the prediction of the Apostle that
there would come a time of total
abandonment of the Gospel with
respect to the desolation of all
genuine spiritual Christian ideas
and concepts.
What this means is that the
Apostle predicts that in the near
future,
the
true religion of Jesus would cease
to exist in this world.
In this respect, the
words of the Apostle are quite clear
in their assertion -- i.e., from the
time period of the first century of
our Common Era when it was written
by the hand of Paul, it
prophetically speaks of a time in
the near future when the teachings
that Yeshua placed in the hands of
mankind would cease to exist -- and
it is the correct assertion of many
Christians that this in fact took
place in the establishment of an
institutionalized church under the
control of Pagan Rome in the fourth
century.
What the modern Christian fails
to realize is that the total
corruption of the doctrine of the
church which the Apostle speaks of
was in fact brought about by the
adoption of the Christ of
Constantine, which resulted in the
rejection of the Messiah Yeshua of
Nazareth. While
it is true that believers use the
name Jesus, and call themselves his
followers, what Christians have lost
sight of is that the essence of the
religion of the New Covenant is
spiritual -- and where the physical
body of Messiah/Christ was crucified
by the carnal Jews in the first
century, the spiritual body of
Messiah/Christ was crucified in the
fourth century.
In further explanation with
regard to this crucial prediction of
the Apostle, the Adam Clark
Commentary then goes on to provide
us a vivid description of
Constantine and the formation of his
new church:
“[Who opposeth
and exalteth] He stands against and
exalts himself above all divine
authority, and above every object of
adoration, and every institution,
relative to divine worship, sebasma,
himself being the source, whence
must originate all the doctrines of
religion, and all its rites and
ceremonies; so that sitting in the
temple of God -- having the highest
place and authority in the Christian
church, he acts as God -- taking
upon himself God's titles and
attributes, and arrogating to
himself the authority that belongs
to the Most High”
(from the Adam Clarke Commentary).
That these events came to pass is
well documented from a historical
perspective -- i.e., the church was
ruled by Satanic forces that
dictated every aspect of Christian
doctrine. And
while it is true that many faithful
believers, clergy, pastors and
religious authorities today have
recognized the defilement of the
church that took place beginning in
the fourth century, what could not
be revealed until now was the
absolute certainty that, because the
Church has never fully recovered
from the darkness and corruption
that was imposed upon the teachings
of the church by the ruthless
political despots of the past,
essential foundational principles,
as well as indispensable elements of
New Covenant knowledge of what is
constantly referred to in the Bible
as the Mysteries of God, is
presently absent from the thinking
of the body of the faithful
believers to this very day.
Satan Speaks To The Christian Elect
The Apostle warned:
"For we do not
wrestle against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places"
(Eph 6:12 NKJ). From a biblical
perspective, the supernatural being
referred to by Paul as Satan, who
the Apostle refers to as the god of
this realm, easily speaks to
Christians and impersonates God,
Yeshua, or an angelic being, and
thus successfully gains control over
the thinking of the religious people
of any given generation by speaking
to their imagination.
What does this mean?
He begins the process by
inspiring within them a vision of a
kingdom that is to come at some
later time.
Where Yeshua preached that the
Kingdom is here -- at hand, and
could be entered through a change of
mind -- the forces of darkness
blinds the hearts and minds of the
believer to the Kingdom that is
already present and has been set
before them.
The result is that the Prince of
Darkness continues to rule over the
hearts and minds of the believers
because, in their state of spiritual
complacency, they continue to live
in accordance with the culture of
this world, and never actually take
up their crosses and follow in the
footsteps of Yeshua.
And while they think they are
different than the unbeliever, often
it is found that they are different
only in the words they speak.
Thus, while they believe and have
faith, their faith is misdirected.
In failing to recognize the
warning of Paul with respect to the
total
“…dereliction
of the essential principles of
religious truth, either a total
abandonment of Christianity itself,
or such a corruption of its
doctrines as renders the whole
system completely inefficient to
salvation…”,
Satan successfully alters the
believers perception of the
scriptures, and induces them to wait
-- rather than begin the journey
into the Kingdom where the Son of
God awaits them.
The Satanic powers of darkness that
are revealed in the scriptures gains
the upper hand by moving the hearts
and minds of unsuspecting men and
women to become attached to this
world by whatever means possible.
He controls religious people
by seducing them into adopting a
life of spiritual complacency and
impotence -- using religion to
effect within the believer a false
vision of their own level of
spirituality as being exalted and
heightened. He
often accomplishes this deception by
inducing them to judge and compare
themselves to non-believers, and
those who have already surrendered
their soul over to the Prince of
Darkness.
It was easy for Lot to perceive
himself a righteous person in
comparison to the inhabitants of
Sodom. It is in
like manner easy for the average
Christian today to view themselves
as being a faithful and believing
people in relation to the criminal
element that is portrayed in our
newspapers and media.
The flaw in this perception
is seen in the fact that the Bible
does not require us to be better
than the unholy -- but rather, to be
Christ-like -- and ultimately as
perfect as our Heavenly Father (Matt
5:48). Thus,
because we judge ourselves in
accordance with the standards of
this world, the result is that the
religious person sees himself as
being in accord with the gospel
message, because he can easily
perceive a difference between
himself and the people he views as
being turned out of The Way.
From the perspective of what
the Apostle calls the god of this
world, this false vision of
righteousness is absolutely
necessary in order to implant within
their minds a strong delusion that
induces them to believe that they
are fulfilling the Word of God.
The Ministers of Satan: A great truth that the Bible
continually warns the religious
person about -- a truth that he must
come to terms with if he is to
become a disciple of the Light -- is
that this supernatural being which
the Apostle calls the god of this
world has the power to ordain
servants to mislead the flock of
believers -- and more importantly,
even those servants are unaware that
they have become the ministers of
Satan. More
importantly, the servants of Satan
are very often the people who the
flock of believers regard as the
most well meaning of individuals --
men and women who the believing
community perceives as religious
allies, and perhaps even saintly.
Throughout the course of human
history it can be demonstrated that
large numbers of true believers have
permitted themselves to be deceived
and led into error and captivity,
because they failed to heed the
lesson of the biblical account of
Samson and Delilah -- where the
betrayer appears to be good, and yet
saps their strength, and then
attacks the believers in order to
enslave them.
If, then, we are to break the bonds
of slavery, and succeed in
safeguarding ourselves from being
deceived, we must become acutely
aware of the important biblical
warning that:
“There is a
way which seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of
death”
(Prov 14:12 KJV).
From the perspective of the Prince
of Darkness, we are more easily
conquered and led into a life of
servitude by those who appear to us
as allies and champions of the
faith, than those who would oppose
us. No doubt
many Christians will immediately
reject this argument -- saying, God
would not permit this to happen to
His church. But
this claim is quickly proven
counterfeit when it is demonstrated
that God has indeed permitted the
church to fall into error.
Can the believer trust the
affirmation of the leaders of the
church with respect to their claim
of doctrinal purity and Divine
protection? The
Bible very clearly states that the
opposite is true, and it is the
leaders of the church who will be in
error when they make this claim.
In confirmation of what was
predicted by Paul, Yeshua said that
the powers of darkness which seek to
enslave us, and will accomplish this
by fooling the very elect of the
church (Mat 24:24; Mk 13:22).
The Apostle warns that Satan
will appear as an Angel of light,
and he will transform his ministers
and servants of darkness to make
them falsely appear to you as good,
in order to deceive you (2 Cor
11:14). In this
respect, the Bible warns us that
what seems right to the carnal mind
of man, is the very thing that will
bring about the ways of death (Prov
14:12). This reality
is truly manifest among believers
who are under the deception that
they have fulfilled the requirements
of walking in TheWay, by merely
saying a prayer to the Jesus-god,
and then living their daily lives no
different than those who dwell in
Sodom and Gormorah.
What Yeshua warned his followers
was to:
“Beware of
false prophets, which come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves. Ye shall know
them by their fruits” (Matt 7:15-16 KJV).
In understanding the
far-reaching reality of these words,
we must comprehend exactly what the
fruits are that Yeshua makes
reference to which we should use to
judge the validity of our religious
leaders! Fruits
in the scriptures relate to works
and accomplishments -- and the works
of the spirit is seen in the ability
of the shepherd of the flock to
place within the hands of the
believer the Key that opens the door
to what the Bible calls the house of
knowledge -- and then demonstrate
how to use that knowledge to guide
the believer into the Kingdom -- a
Kingdom that will never come upon
the earth as our present-day church
authorities proclaim (Luke
17:20-21), but exists at this very
time in a parallel dimension.

The Written
Word Portrays The Left Hand Of God
The Inner
Spiritual Meaning the Right Hand Of
God
Jesus said the god of the Jews
was the Devil -- the Spiritual
Christians who were called Gnostics
said the god of the Jew was a lesser
god who was a Demiurge -- and Paul
warned that you can't be saved by
the works of the written word of the
Law -- that the reader of the
scriptures who failed to understand
the allegorical manner they were
composed in, embraced the
"letter that
killeth" -- and Peter
called the written word the books
that have the power to deceive --
because the literal word of the
scriptures portrays the Left Hand of
God, while the inner spiritual
meaning that lies beneath the
allegorical garb, reveals the Right
Hand that can save. The Left Hand
is the reflective reality -- i.e.,
Lucifer -- and this reflective
reality is called the Bringer
of Light, because the reflective
reality is a corrective response to
our word, thoughts, desires and
deeds that forces an upward movement
towards completion. When a child
misbehaves, a parent applies a
corrective action in accordance with
the needs of the child. And in the
scriptures this great truth is
revealed in the words: "Do
not be deceived, God is not mocked;
for whatever a man sows, that he
will also reap" (Gal 6:7
NKJ).
Speaking of Simon Magus in the
Clementine writings, the Apostle
Peter states:
"He
is a power of the left hand of God,
and has authority to do harm to
those who know not God, so that he
has been able to involve you in
diseases; but by these very
diseases, which have been permitted
to come upon you by the good
providence of God, you, seeking and
finding him who is able to cure,
have been compelled to submit to the
will of God on the occasion of the
cure of the body, and to think of
believing, in order that in this way
you may have your souls as well as
your bodies in a healthy state."
And in another place in the
same writings Peter explains:
"For
thus from the beginning was a law
laid by God, the Creator of all
things, on each of the two princes,
him of the right hand and him of the
left, that neither should have power
over any one whom they might wish to
benefit or to hurt, unless first he
had sat down at the same table with
them. As, then, when you partook of
meat offered to idols, you became
servants to the prince of evil, in
like manner, if you cease from these
things, and flee for refuge to God
through the good Prince of His right
hand, honoring Him without
sacrifices, by doing whatsoever He
wills, know of a truth that not only
will your bodies be healed, but your
souls also will become healthy. For
He only, destroying with His left
hand, can quicken with His right; He
only can both smite and raise the
fallen."
Again Peter explains:
"But
that this is so, has been said even
by the law in the person of God: ‘I
will kill, and, I will make alive; I
will strike, and I will heal. For,
in truth, He kills and makes alive.
He kills through the left hand, that
is, through the evil one, who has
been so composed as to rejoice in
afflicting the impious. And he saves
and benefits through the right band,
that is, through the good one, who
has been made to rejoice in the good
deeds and salvation of the
righteous."
And in prayer Peter states:
"Deliver
me, O Lord of all, from Thy fearful
judgment. Do not give the enemy
power to swallow me up, and to
become heir of my soul, as of that
of him who is hanging on the left;
for I see how the devil joyfully
takes his soul, and his body
disappears."
But Christians today are as the men
of Nineveh of whom it is said:
"And should I
not pity Nineveh, that great city,
in which are more than one hundred
and twenty thousand persons who
cannot discern between their right
hand and their left?"
(Jonah 4:11 NKJ). For as it was
said to Job:
"Then I will
also confess to you that your own
right hand can save you" (Job 40:14
NKJ). And in the Psalms: "You will
show me the path of life; in Your
presence is fullness of joy; at Your
right hand are pleasures
forevermore... Though I walk in the
midst of trouble, You will revive
me; you will stretch out Your hand
against the wrath of my enemies, and
Your right hand will save me"
(Ps 16:11;138:7 NKJ). Which is the
reason why Jesus said that those on
the right will enter into life,
while those on the left will inherit
the tribulation of their deeds and
ways: "Then
He will also say to those on the
left hand, 'Depart from Me, you
cursed, into the everlasting fire
prepared for the devil and his
angels" (Matt 25:41 NKJ)
The Left Hand is portrayed in the
literal text -- and is especially
seen in the Mosaic Law of
Karmic-Retribution that perpetually
returns back to us the fruit of our
own thoughts, desires and actions --
i.e.,
"Do not be
deceived, God is not mocked; for
whatever a man sows, that he will
also reap" (Gal 6:7 NKJ).
A most profound statement by the
Church Father Origen is basically
rejected by the people of the simple
faith today who are incapable of
reason and engaging the mind in the
process of true spiritual growth.
What does Origen state:
“What man of sense will agree with
the statement that the first, second
and third days in which the evening
is named and the morning, were
without sun, moon and stars, and the
first day without a heaven.
What man is found such an
idiot as to suppose that God planted
trees in paradise in Eden, like a
husbandman, and planted therein the
tree of life, perceptible to the
eyes and senses, which gave life to
the eater thereof; and another tree
which gave to the eater thereof a
knowledge of good and evil?
I believe that every man must
hold these things for images, under
which the hidden sense lies
concealed” (Origen
- Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p.
142).
Once these words are
understood, they are in essence no
different than what Paul stated,
Peter in the Clementine Homilies,
the Zohar, and even St. Augustine in
the words: “He
is a slave to a sign who uses or
worships a significant thing without
knowing what it signifies.
But he who uses or venerates
a useful sign divinely instituted
whose signifying force he
understands does not venerate what
he sees and what passes away but
rather that to which all such things
are to be referred.
Such a man is spiritual and
free, even during that time of
servitude in which it is not yet
opportune to reveal to carnal minds
those signs under whose yoke they
are to be tamed”
(De Doctrina Christiana).
The Fundamentalists who insist
that the literal text of the Old
Testament is the un-errored word of
God, insist that the earth is only
6,000 years old. They reject the
higher wisdom that teaches that the
scriptures are an allegory that
conveys inner spiritual truths of
the mind and spirit in a series of
forms and symbols, and they demand
that Genesis be taught as historical
truth. Yet, even a casual
examination of the facts by a high
school student proves them wrong.
Then, the secular left uses this
weak link to condemn the Bible as a
whole, and thereby successfully
undermines the teachings of Yeshua
and TheWay. Yet, what we have in
Darwinism is grave error opposing
gross ignorance of the manner in
which the Old Testament and all
scriptures are written -- thus, we
have ignorance opposing ignorance.
While Christianity has been
relegated to the junk-heap in Europe
-- which has permitted Islam to
thrive -- in the United States the
failings of the left have actually
fed the religious right. Because
the left has created an environment
where the only means to cure the
rampant alcohol and drug addiction
is through belief in the Jesus-god,
the churches are overflowing with
ex-addicts who are often incapable
of embracing higher thought. And
while these people have found great
strength and solace in their beliefs
-- and have thus found healing from
their addictions -- the very fact
that they cling to a Fundamentalist
interpretation of the Old Testament
gives the left overwhelming
ammunition to undermine genuine
religious teachings. So it becomes
a vicious circle of people on both
the left and the right who are
incapable of even envisioning higher
reality, undermining the very
foundations of our culture by
attacking the weaknesses of the
opposing sides.
The
Gnostics Were Right: In an
Orthodox Jewish community the study
of Torah is a strength -- but in
view of the fact that 95% of
American Jews are non-Torah
observant, most are Atheists, and
they embrace every garden variety of
immorality of the left, then in the
lives of the majority of people the
Old Testament is an anchor that
shackles them to a gross
misunderstanding of God and man's
higher reality. The people who
come here are those who know
intuitively that there is something
more than what is embraced by either
mainstream of Fundamentalist
Christianity. And we nourish them
by assuring them that the God of
Jesus has nothing in common with the
counterfeit portrayal of God in the
allegorical Old Testament -- i.e.,
the vengeful god that chooses one
group of idol worshipers over all
the peoples of the earth -- kills
innocent men, women and children
-- commands the people not to kill,
and then is the first to break this
commandment -- and judges the
children of sinners to the third and
fourth generation.
In the allegorical text, in order
to demonstrate to mankind God's
absolute power and authority, it is
observed that God often chose the
most morally degenerate men to
inherit the good.
King David, for example, was
a murderer and an adulterer, as
demonstrated by The New Unger's
Bible Dictionary in their sighting
under David for First Samuel 13:14:
“How, ask
some, could a man after God's own
heart have murdered Uriah, seduced
Bathsheba, and tortured the
Ammonites? An extract from one who
is not a too-indulgent critic of
sacred characters expresses at once
the common sense and the religious
lesson of the whole matter. ‘David,
the Hebrew king, had fallen into
sins enough -- blackest crimes --
there was no want of sin. And,
thereupon, the unbelievers sneer,
and ask, ‘Is this your man according
to God' s heart?’”
(Carlyle, Heroes and
Hero-worship, 1:277; from New
Unger's Bible Dictionary, originally
published by Moody Press of Chicago,
Illinois.
Copyright (C) 1988).
It would appear that God chose
David -- a true sinner -- over Saul,
because Saul possessed a conscience,
and did not unmercifully wipe out
his enemies, as seen where it is
written under the heading of Saul:
“But he
disobeyed the divine injunction by
taking alive Agag, the king, and
sparing all the best of the cattle
and all that was valuable,
destroying only that which was
despised and worthless. Instead of
pursuing the campaign and finishing
the destruction of the fugitives…”
(New Unger's Bible
Dictionary).
Thus, Saul failed in his mission --
which was to totally wipe out all
the men, women, children, and
everything that breathed among the
enemies of Israel.
Anyone who believes that the
Bible is literally true where it is
written:
“And the LORD
our God delivered him over to us; so
we defeated him, his sons, and all
his people. We took all his cities
at that time, and we utterly
destroyed the men, women, and little
ones of every city; we left none
remaining”
(Deut 2:33-34 NKJ); is simply unable
to perceive the Divine Essence of
God. What does this
killer of the innocent have in
common with the Heavenly Father
revealed by Jesus? Absolutely
nothing! In the Clementine
Homilies it is written:
“Then
Peter answered: Assuredly, with good
reason, I neither believe anything
against God, nor against the just
men recorded in the law, taking for
granted that they are impious
imaginations. For, as I am
persuaded, neither was Adam a
transgressor, who was fashioned by
the hands of God; nor was Noah
drunken, who was found righteous
above all the world; nor did Abraham
live with three wives at once, who,
on account of his sobriety, was
thought worthy of a numerous
posterity; nor did Jacob associate
with four women - of whom two were
sisters - who was the father of the
twelve tribes, and who intimated the
coining of the presence of our
Master; nor was Moses a murderer,
nor did he learn to judge from an
idolatrous priest - he who set forth
the law of God to all the world, and
for his right judgment has been
testified to as a faithful steward”.
It was of these symbols that Origen
said: “I
believe that every man must hold
these things for images, under which
the hidden sense lies concealed”.
So every source of wisdom
declares that the literal text of
the Old Testament is not literally
true -- and yet, it is from this
antiquated Mystery-religion text
that the vast majority of people
form their opinions and beliefs
about God -- to their own spiritual
demise. Since the people are not
initiates into the secret system,
and are incapable of understanding
the true meaning of the text, then
from a spiritual perspective it
would be best to discard it in the
manner that the first Spiritual
Christians did. While the Old
Testament is a source of knowledge
to the few who understand the
allegorical language, what is
important with respect to the
essential teachings for seekers to
embrace, is already presented to us
in the New Testament and such
additional writings as the Gospel of
the Nazirenes.

The Mystery Of
The Books
With The Power
To Deceive
It
is the position of many Biblical
researchers that most of the Old
Testament comes from other, more
ancient writings. Even Jewish
writers admit that most of the
Hebrew writings were merely taken
freely from Sumerian, Babylonian,
Egyptian, and even Greek sources.
Horace Meyer Kallen, at one time a
professor at the Jewish New School
of Social Research, said that the
Book of Job was lifted bodily from
an early and obscure Greek play.
Scientist and author Immanuel
Velikovsky admitted that there are
"many parallels"
between the Vedic Hymns and the
Books of Joel and Isaiah. Hebrew
scholar Zecharia Sitchin claimed
that the Book of Genesis is based on
the Sumerian creation myth. The
story of Noah comes from the
Sumerian legend of Gilgamesh. The
Psalms were taken word for word from
Akhenaton's Hymns to the Sun,
written 600 years earlier in Egypt.
The Ten Commandments were taken
wholly from the Egyptian Book of the
Dead. And so on through the books of
the Old Testament.
In our present time the vast
majority of believers and
non-believers are not only totally
ignorant of the above reality, but
fail to comprehend the reality of
the very true words of the Zohar
where it states:
“The
narratives of the doctrine are its
cloak. The
simple look only on the garment,
that is upon the narrative of the
doctrine; more they know not.
The instructed, however, see
not merely the cloak, but what the
cloak covers”.
And while Paul warns the people
that the Old Testament is an
allegory -- and the written word is
not on untrue, but he portrays the
written word as "...the
letter kills, but the Spirit gives
life"
-- we can see the reality of
these words in the world today in
both believers misconceptions
pertaining to God, and people's
rejection of God based upon an
ignorance of the allegorical manner
in which the Old Testament is
written. And the results of this
misconception is so grave, that the
Zohar warns those who are under the
delusion that they have read the
Word of God:
"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..."
What is being said? That
those who read the Old Testament
without knowing the secret code
possessed only by initiates into the
Jewish Mystery religion that
requires a lifetime of study and
dedication to master, will have so
wasted their time on the study of
the written word, that they will be
deprived of the promise of entering
into Life. On the other hand, if
you are a Jew, and you live in a
Hasidic fully Torah observant
community that studies Kabbalah
and Jewish Mysticism, only
then will you be able to get a more
correct perception of God and Higher
Reality.
Speaking of the ability of
Simon Magus to deceive the people
through the allegorical nature of
the Old Testament, in the Clementine
Homilies Peter warns:
“And with us,
indeed, who have had handed down
from our forefathers the worship of
the God who made all things, and
also the
mystery of the books which are able
to deceive,
he will not
prevail; but with those from amongst
the Gentiles who have the
polytheistic fancy bred in them,
and who know
not the falsehoods of the
Scriptures,
he will
prevail much. And not only he;
but if any
other shall recount to those from
among the Gentiles
any vain,
dreamlike, richly set out story
against God, he will be believed,
because from their childhood their
minds are accustomed to take in
things spoken against God. And few
there shall be of them, as a few out
of a multitude, who through
ingenuousness shall not be willing
so much as to hear an evil word
against the God who made all things.
And to these
alone from amongst the Gentiles it
shall be vouchsafed to be saved.
Let not any
one of you, therefore, altogether
complain of Simon, or of any one
else; for nothing happens unjustly,
since even the falsehoods of
Scripture are with good reason
presented for a test.”
Notice the words in
RED.
If those who are not initiated into
the secret code of the allegory will
be greatly deceived -- to the degree
that the Kabbalah warns that they
will be deprived of entering into
Life -- then why would anyone in
their right mind even promote such a
system in our present time? The
deception is so rampant, and so all
consuming, that the Spiritual
Christians who were called Gnostics,
rejected the Old Testament entirely,
and began their scriptures with
Yeshua after the resurrection.
Check out Pistis Sophia (see
http://alchemy.nazirene.org/pistis1.htm ),
and see for yourself. They did
this because so many people are
deceived by the allegorical
portrayals of God -- which is in
reality the portrayal of the Left
Hand of God which we often refer to
as Satan -- that they wanted no part
in promoting these antiquated
scriptures of the ancient Jewish
Mystery religion that Peter
correctly portrays as the books that
deceive.
A truly important statement is
made by Peter in the Clementine
Homilies where it is written:
“Neither,
therefore, are the Hebrews condemned
on account of their ignorance of
Jesus, by reason of Him who has
concealed Him, if, doing the things
commanded by Moses, they do not hate
Him whom they do not know. Neither
are those from among the Gentiles
condemned, who know not Moses on
account of Him who hath concealed
him, provided that these also, doing
the things spoken by Jesus, do not
hate Him whom they do not know. And
some will not be profited by calling
the teachers lords, but not doing
the works of servants. For on this
account our Jesus Himself said to
one who often called Him Lord, but
did none of the things which He
prescribed, ‘Why call ye me Lord,
Lord, and do not the things which I
say?’ For it is not saying that will
profit any one, but doing. By all
means, therefore, is there need of
good works.
Moreover, if
any one has been thought worthy to
recognize both as preaching one
doctrine, that man has been counted
rich in God, understanding both the
old things as new in time, and the
new things as old.”
Those very few who possess the
depth of insight to be able to
pierce beneath the garb of the
allegorical text of the Old
Testament, know that there is
absolutely no difference between
what is written in the Old and New
Testaments -- with the exception
that the New presents a more
realistic portrayal of God and what
is expected of man in his search for
the Kingdom within. Prior to the
fourth century, many Christians did
not even use the Old Testament
because of its power to deceive --
and the Old Testament was used by
the Church of Constantine as a means
to promote their violence against
their opponents. How could they
kill in the name of the God of Jesus
who required all men to turn the
other cheek? They could not! So
they drew their image of God out of
the literal text of the allegorical
Old Testament, and worshiped the
Left Hand of God.
In our present time there are
groups who call themselves Nazarenes
who are born again Pharisees who
desire to build the third temple and
begin to sacrifice animals in accord
with the literal text of the Old
Testament. These people are
thoroughly deceived by these ancient
Mystery religion writings that can
only be understood by initiates of
the system. The Jehovah's
Witnesses, Evangelical Christians,
and other groups all derive their
perception of God from the Old
Testament -- to their own spiritual
demise. Peter states to his
disciple Clement: "...Let
not any one of you, therefore,
altogether complain of Simon, or of
any one else; for nothing happens
unjustly,
since even the
falsehoods of Scripture are with
good reason presented for a test.”
The test is that
those who hold unworthy ideas
pertaining to God, and fail to live
in accord with the Royal Law, are
themselves banished from the Kingdom
and the Knowledge of the Truth. So
why would I want to begin with
writings that are a source of
spiritual deception? And this is
why though I understand the inner
meaning of the allegory, I rarely
quote the Old Testament.

The Gospel Of Thomas
The Gospel of Thomas proclaims a unique and very
different message from the current "accepted" New Testament Gospels. In
contrast to the way in which he is now portrayed, Jesus in the Gospel
of Thomas performs no physical miracles, reveals no fulfillment of
prophecy, announces no apocalyptic kingdom, and dies for no one's sins.
Instead, Jesus provides insight and wisdom and offers a way of salvation
through the understandings of his teachings and words. The readers of
the Gospel of Thomas are invited to discover within themselves
the way of salvation, by interpreting the cryptic and enigmatic "hidden
sayings" of the living Jesus. While
modern Christians might be offended by the spiritual concept that one
must possess knowledge in order to receive salvation, what they fail to
realize is the acquisition of knowledge is in fact the very essence of
New Covenant thought. The whole of both the Gospel message, as well as
the Apostle Paul's doctrine that man is saved by Faith, is based upon
the threefold nature of man (physical, soul, spirit) and the indwelling
Kingdom of God (see Luke 17:20-21).

Pistis Sophia
Pistis Sophia is actually a
series of fragments, not a complete book. It is almost a catalogue of
Gnostic works that were so persecuted that only fragments of them exist
in the modern world. The works that make up
Pistis Sophia were banned by
the Roman Church. It is said that the Nag Hammedi Library, a collection
of Gnostic holy books was discovered in 1948, fleshes out the fragments
that make up Pistis Sophia.
The Pistis Sophia is a spiritual work that often reveals the inner
meaning of the symbols used in the traditional New Testament. Quoting
the word: Jesus chose the Twelve before He came into the world. He chose
twelve powers, receiving them from the twelve Saviors of the
Light-Treasure. When He descended into the world, He cast them as sparks
into the wombs of their mothers, that the whole world might be saved --
Pistis Sophia.

Shepherd Of Hermas
If it is true that the Shepherd of
Hermas was the most widely accepted and used Book by the earliest of
non-Jewish followers of Jesus, then it is also true that what Jesus
taught has very little in common with what Christians believe today.
And if this is true, then the Atheist and non-believers who oppose
Christianity, do not find fault and oppose what Jesus taught -- but
rather, the manmade doctrines of the Church of Constantine that came
into existence in the fourth century (see
The Death Of
the Religion of Jesus). Every believer and non-believer has the
ability to prove the Truth beyond any doubt whatsoever by virtue of
their own spiritual experiences. And while it is true that the modern
believer has alienated themselves to the Truth by virtue of the adoption
of manmade beliefs and doctrine, those unbelievers who oppose them are
equally imbued with error. And while each individual has the ability
to prove the Truth for themselves, the Laws that control this world
would inhibit them from revealing this Higher Truth to either the body
of believers, or their unbelieving brothers and sisters. Therefore,
being able to point out the error of others does not in and of itself
constitute Truth, because both the believer and unbeliever dwell in a
divided reality where each possesses valid facts that are rejected by
their opposites, each remains equally in error! Most believers need
what many unbelievers possess, and most unbelievers have been themselves
alienated from the Higher Truths by virtue of the same government
secular forces that ruled the Church for over a thousand years.

Essene Gospel Of
Peace
In the same way that the Roman Church attempted to conceal the sexual
abuse of young children for the sake of the institution, it would be
truly difficult to explain why many of the core beliefs that were
suppressed while Christianity was under the direct control of the Roman
Imperial Government, was not re-established once the church became
free. How can the church at this late date reveal to the faithful flock
that such truths as the pre-existent soul that evolves to perfection (Mt
5:48) over the course of many lives (transmigration/reincarnation), was
removed from Christian doctrine by a Roman Emperor (see
http://www.nazirene.org/secret_doctrine.htm#reincarnation )? How
can the church admit that doing no harm to any living creature was a
commandment of Jesus to those who would be his followers -- that they
were vegetarians (see
http://watcher.nazirene.org/watcher4.htm#vegetarian ) -- and would
not even consider someone who ate the flesh of slain beasts to be a
follower of Christ? How could the church at this late date admit that
within us is the True Temple of God, and whatever exists outwardly in
this world with respect to the church is merely at best a portal that
serves as an entrance point into the indwelling Kingdom (Luke
17:20-21)? They cannot! And in the manner of the cover-up of the
pedophile priests, these truths are best concealed from the masses --
for the sake of the church.

Book Of Enoch
Christians will
rightfully ask: Why would I want to read the Book of Enoch? The reason
is that hidden within the text of Enoch is the knowledge of the Laws
that inhibit our access into the Kingdom that Jesus taught is within us
(Luke 17:20-21). While there is very little in Enoch that is
literally/historically accurate, the message within the symbolism of the
text is of such a profound reality, that the code to comprehending the
secret wisdom it concealed was kept by the Essenes by virtue of a sworn
oath not to reveal to those who were not worthy of the Sacred
Knowledge. An Essene would sooner die, than to betray the wisdom of
the Sacred Knowledge of the Laws of God. Among the reasons why a modern
Christian would want to read the Books of Enoch is this: Perhaps because
they took to heart the words of biblical scholar
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). Then
again, perhaps they became disturbed by the words of Prof. John Allegro
in is book, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of Christianity,
where he writes: “It is
a fact that the Qumran Library has profoundly affected the study of the
Johannine writings and many longheld conceptions have had to be
radically revised. No longer can John be regarded as the most
Hellenistic of the Evangelists; his gnosticism, and the whole framework
of his thought is seen now to spring directly from a Jewish sectarianism
rooted in palestinian soil, and his material recognized as founded in
the earliest layers of Gospel traditions.”
The very idea that the
authors of our scriptures were Gnostic -- i.e., concealing the true
meaning within the body of the text in a system of code that could only
be deciphered by one who was versed in the system of Gnostic secrets and
thought -- should frighten the modern Christian.
One of the fundamental
truths that the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has demonstrated to us
today is the defectiveness of what we believe with respect to Christian
foundings -- as well as our grave misconception regarding the commonly
held idea that the time of the Old Covenant was before Jesus -- and that
what was called the Old Covenant was replaced by the New Covenant which
was inaugurated by Jesus. In fact, one of the
profound realities many of our experts today have begun to understand,
is that nothing could be farther from the truth.
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.

The Cult Of The
Worship Of Mary Magdalene
Gnosticism is embodied in the words of the Gospel of Thomas:
"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". When Valentinus,
perhaps the most recognized Gnostic, stated that the vast majority of
people cannot achieve salvation or permanence, let me pose the question:
Is this because they are ignorant of historical people such as Mary
Magdalene? In the Gospel of Light which is attributed to him, there is
not even one mention of Mary -- or any other historical person -- making
reference to Jesus as having come to teach men how to receive the Sacred
Gnosis of the Inner Kingdom. Has those modern pseudo-neo-Gnostics who
promote the cult of the worship of Mary Magdalene ever asked the
question: What knowledge of even the most secret historical account,
would bestow upon the hearer eternal life? Valentinus stated that the
people of this world cannot achieve salvation, because they are imbued
with "hyleticism" --
which is the worship of the material. Even among seekers, salvation
could not be achieved, because they are imbued with "psychism" --
which he portrayed as the sickness of abstract intellectualism and
moralizing. The word abstract is of great importance, because it
denotes theoretical and non-experiential knowledge from direct Inner
Sources. Only through the
"pneuma" --
i.e., the knowledge of one's own inner soul and spiritual nature, can
one achieve salvation and permanence. And from a purely Christian
perspective, if you do as Jesus Commanded -- live the life he ordained,
and embrace the mindset of in the world and not of it -- then you will
be able to receive the Divine Gnosis of the Inner Kingdom.
Thus, speaking of this inner source of Gnosis, Peter speaks of the True
Prophet, and proclaims to his disciple Clement in the Homilies: “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”. |

Unity Of Mind - Science Proves
Religion
The Bible teaches that parallel
realms exist. Jesus taught that a Disciple of TheWay could enter the
Kingdom while still alive in the body. Hebrew/Christian Mystics have
long witnessed to what modern science now confirms - that we can enter
the Kingdom, and thereby fulfill Paul's Commandment to prove all things.
For Genuine Christians, blind belief is a thing of the past, because it
is within their ability to prove their beliefs! Atheists no longer have
an excuse, because their own science has proven that man has the ability
to prove the existence of God by virtue of their own spiritual
experiences. Learn how to go beyond the limitations of Church doctrine.
Discover how science can strengthen religious faith, and how evolution
does not contradict Christian teaching, but rather, reflects God?s
creative hand among us.

Jesus Was A Mystic
Jesus was a Mystic, and he taught his disciples how to walk the
spiritual path known as TheWay. Paul warned that man in his natural
state cannot know the Truth. The True Church is Spiritual, and can only
be entered by spiritual men and women who dedicate and surrender their
lives to the teachings of Jesus and TheWay. Everyone else embraces
error -- institutionalized error -- in church, school and every other
aspect of life.

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 Outer
Darkness And
Plato's Cave Of
Illusions:
Jesus
taught that
those who fail
to put on the
Wedding Garment
and come to
TheCall of the
Wedding Feast,
are thrown into
what the Gospel
portrays as the
"outer
darkness"
-- which, when
rightly
understood,
parallels that
of the analogy
of Plato's Cave
of Illusions --
and because our
modern culture
possesses
absolutely no
understanding of
the
implications, it
can be stated
that modern man
dwells in abject
ignorance and
intellectual
poverty.
Why? Because
we fail to
understand the
great wisdom in
the statement in
the
Gospel of Thomas:
(5) Jesus said,
"Recognize what
is in your
sight, and that
which is hidden
from you will
become plain to
you..."
And in our
failure to
understand the
nature and
reality of what
we see, we
remain drowning
in a sea of
confusion. |

Jesus pays
particular
attention and
importance to
Children who are
often referred
to as the
"little ones". Unless
Christians
"turn about",
and become as a
little child,
they cannot
enter into the
kingdom of
heaven (Mt 18:3;
19:14). But
this provokes
the question:
What does it
mean to
"turn about",
and become as a
child?
Virtually no
modern Christian
would be able to
answer this
question
today. Why?
Not only has the
Gospels been
corrupted, but
the suppression
of the teachings
on the children
can be proven by
any Christian,
using any
version of the
scriptures. If
it is true that
the teachings on
the children
were corrupted
and suppressed,
then how many
other important
teachings also
suppressed?
Will the modern
Christian be
held accountable
for the
teachings in the
Gospels which
were altered
from their
original context
-- and even
removed -- in
order to make
the scriptures
support the
man-made dogma
of Pagan Rome?
And if this is
true -- that the
Gospels were
corrupted by the
later Church in
order to make
them support the
man-made dogma
of the Church --
will the modern
Christian be
held accountable
for the
requirement set
forth by Jesus
in the original
teachings? |

Original Gospel
Sacraments:
The
Sacraments that
are practiced
and observed in
the Christian
Churches today
have very little
in common with
the Original
Sacraments
instituted by
Jesus. Without
putting on the
required Wedding
Garment, and
being nourished
by the Eucharist
of the Divine
Manna that can
only be imparted
to the
seeker/disciple
by and in the
direct Spiritual
Presence of the
Son of God while
in the Kingdom,
the believer
will continue to
dwell in what
Jesus portrayed
as the Far
Country and
Outer Darkness
of Mind and
Being -- unable
to comprehend
the Higher
Mysteries of the
Kingdom -- and
unable to attain
the subsequent
stage of Birth
that enables the
seeker/disciple
to gain entrance
into the
Kingdom, and
inherit the
Promise of
Entering into
Life. |

The Gospel
teachings of
Jesus which were
originally known
as the teachings
of TheWay (The
Way), have
within itself
all levels from
entry-level to a
high and mature
expression of
spirituality.
And while the
entry-level is
based upon faith
and belief, the
higher levels of
spiritual
maturity embody
a Wholistic
mindset and
lifestyle
necessary to
transform the
body-mind into a
Living Temple
that enables the
Spiritual
Christian to
fully embrace
the Pattern of
the Christ, by
symbolically
picking up their
own cross and
travailing in
TheWay in
Imitation of the
man Jesus.
Thus, while the
entry-level
Christian has
few requirements
other than faith
and belief, the
more Advanced
Spiritual
Christian has
many
requirements
that enables
him/her to
fulfill the
adage to be in
the world and
not of it.
The
Original
teachings of
Jesus and TheWay
was a system of
Spiritual
Advancement that
brought about
Wholeness.

Know Thyself:
Jesus declared
in the Gospel of
Thomas:
"...But if
you will not
know yourselves,
you dwell in
poverty and it
is you who are
that poverty".
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”.
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”

An Inconvenient
Truth:
One of the most
important
articles that
have been
written and
exist in our
present time --
in spite of
those who
attempt to
censor and
inhibit the
modern seeker
from having
access to the
Truth and TheWay.
Written by an
Original Author
of the Gospels,
this article
reveals what
modern
authorities will
at any cost,
censor and
suppress.
Why? Because
as counterfeit
shepherds, they
are carnal and
totally
earth-bound in
their
thinking.
Being carnal and
spiritually
disenfranchised,
they don't at
all understand
-- or possess
the knowledge of
-- the Great
Spiritual Truths
revealed in this
article. |

Reincarnation,
The Key To
Christianity:
The only
eyewitness
account written
by an Elder in
the original
Ebionite
Community
portraying the
Death of
Christianity --
The Religion of
Jesus and the
Original
Teachings of
TheWay.
Because the
Emperor of Rome
hunted down and
murdered the
Original
Spiritual
Christians and
all those who
opposed the
corruption of
the teachings of
Jesus and TheWay,
the Christian
world itself has
been cast into a
Spiritual
Diaspora from
which it has yet
to emerge.
|

|
|
 |
The Church Of
The AntiChrist:
The Apostle Paul
predicted that
the Church which
portrays itself
as Christian,
will install the
Anti-Christ as
the leader of
the Church, and
the Christian
world will
worship Satan in
place of God.
While the
Christian world
dwells under the
deceptive belief
that they freed
themselves from
the paganism of
Rome in the
Reformation, the
leaders of the
Reformation did
not at all
understand the
reality of a
purely Spiritual
Religion where
the objective
was to be be in
the world and
not of it --
using the
scriptures as
the Key of
Knowledge to
gain entrance
into the Kingdom
while still in
the body-vessel
-- in many
respects the
reactionary
dogma contrived
by Martin Luther
and the other
leaders of the
Reformation had
the effect of
further
imprisoning the
Church in the
abyss of abject
carnal
ignorance.

The Bible itself
openly rejects
and condemns the
tenets of belief
promoted by the
Church. What
is demonstrated
is the fact that
the vast
majority of
Christians
neither
understand the
Bible -- and
those who do
read it, do so
through the
filter of their
dogma and
beliefs. re
are 10
words that
were altered
from their
original context
in the New
Testament that
have the power
to re-establish
the essence of
the teachings of
Yeshua which was
known as TheWay.
These 10
words demonstrate
conclusively
that the text of
the New
Testament has
been altered and
corrupted in
order to make it
support the
doctrines of the
Pagan
Roman/Greek
world. These 10
words further
demonstrate that
the essence of
the teachings of
Yeshua has
little in common
with the
Christian
religion
today. In
fact, these 10
wordsare
to Christianity
what the 10
Commandments were
to Judaism --
i.e., the
foundation from
which every
other aspect of
the religion
springs forth!
These 10
words prove
the Ebionites
correct, and
modern
Christianity
which is founded
upon 4th century
Roman doctrines
to be in error.
These 10
words prove
that without a
return to the
essence of
Yeshua's
original
teachings,
modern Christians
are neither
saved, nor do
they have the
salvation they
erroneously
believe they
do. |
|
|
|
 |
The Consecrated
Life is
the Path that
leads to
Wholeness -- and
this Wholeness
can only be
brought about
when the
teachings of
Yeshua/Jesus and
TheWay becomes a
mindset and
lifestyle that
develops the
person and
brings them to
Completion. In
the parable of
the prodigal
son, the
experiences in
what is
portrayed as the
Far Country
develops the son
-- enables him
to prevail and
to rule over
himself -- and
it is this state
of Completion
within himself
that permits him
to return to the
Edenic Kingdom
of the Father.
Each and every
person is
presently
evolving to this
state of
Completion and
Wholeness in the
Omega of
Perfection, that
will permit them
to return to
their True
Source of Being. |

The Key Of
Knowledge: When
Jesus condemned
the leaders of
the Jews as
blind guides, it
was because they
threw away the
Key Of
Knowledge. In
the fourth
century of our
Common Era, the
Church of Rome
in like manner
threw away the
Key Of Knowledge
-- causing the
Christian world
to become lost
and wandering in
what Jesus
portrayed as the "outer
darkness" of
Mind and Being.

The Tree Of
Life:
After eating
the forbidden
fruit of the
Tree of Duality
(aka Tree Of
Knowledge Of
Good And Evil),
the statement
was made in the
allegorical
account of
Genesis:
"The man has now
become like one
of us, knowing
good and evil.
He must not be
allowed to reach
out his hand and
take also from
the tree of life
and eat, and
live forever"
(Gen 3:22-23).
Thus, the
objective of
life is to
become nourished
by the fruit of
the Tree of Life
-- i.e.,
"'He who has an
ear, let him
hear what the
Spirit says to
the churches. To
him who
overcomes, I
will grant to
eat of the tree
of life which is
in the Paradise
of God'"
(Rev 2:7). And
respecting the
Tree of Life it
is written:
"Then he showed
me a river of
the water of
life, clear as
crystal, coming
from the throne
of God and of
the Lamb, in the
middle of its
street. On
either side of
the river was
the tree of
life, bearing
twelve kinds of
fruit, yielding
its fruit every
month; and the
leaves of the
tree were for
the healing of
the nations"
(Rev 22:1-2).
With the final
statement
pertaining to
the eating of
the fruit of the
Tree of Life in
order to gain
entrance to what
is often
portrayed as
Spiritual
Jerusalem in the
words:
"Blessed are
those who wash
their robes, so
that they may
have the right
to the tree of
life and that
they may enter
the city by the
gates"
(Rev 22:14). The
problem is seen
in the fact that
after
suppressing the
higher spiritual
knowledge of
Jesus and TheWay,
modern seekers
have no idea
what the Tree of
Life is, or how
to be nourished
by its fruit.

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!!!

Reincarnation -
The Key To
Christianity And
The 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.

It was said of
the Church
Father Origen by
St. Gregory of
Nyssa that he
was
“the prince
of Christian
learning in the
Third Century”
-- and the
Encyclopedia
Britannica calls
him
“…the most
prominent of all
the church
fathers”.
But how did he
become the man
that St. Jerome
considered to be
“the greatest
teacher of the
Church after the
Apostles”?
According to the
soul who lived
as Origen, he
had previously
lived as the
disciple and
scribe of Jacob
who people call
James, who was
the Brother of
Jesus. And
from that life
with Jacob, he
learned to write
scriptures in
Hebrew
Characters, and
he worked on the
original source
scriptures which
has since come
to be called the
New Testament
scriptures of
the Bible. On
his web site,
Emmanuel
Pohorecki
reveals not only
the accounts of
the many
lifetimes that
he has lived,
but also his own
journey into the
presence of his
soul-self --
i.e., his true
self who is the
Being of
Light. And
once again
Emmanuel has
demonstrated
that you don't
need to
physically die
to communicate
with, and enter
into the
presence of your
soul-self who is
the Being of
Light in the
Near Death
Experience.
And in his soon
to be completed
article on the
Journey of the
Soul and Visions
from his Higher
Self, he will
write about what
his soul-self
has taught him
while in the
Realm of
Souls.
Emmanuel
provides other
important
insights in
man's higher
reality with his
account of his
life with Fr.
Francis, as a
Native American,
and as one of
the
Constitutional
Founding Fathers
of the United
States.

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

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

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 Orthodox
Corruption of
the Scriptures: Was
the Bible
rewritten? Prof.
Nestle writes: "Learned
men, so called
Correctores
were, following
the church
meeting at Nicea
325 AD, selected
by the church
authorities to
scrutinize the
sacred texts and
rewrite them in
order to correct
their meaning in
accordance with
the views which
the church had
just
sanctioned." To
ignore the facts
is to alienate
oneself from the
Living Word of
God |

The Suppressed
Teachings On
Children:
"And calling
to him a child,
he put him in
the midst of
them, and said, Truly,
I say to you,
unless you turn
and become like
children, you
will never enter
the kingdom of
heaven"
(Mat 18: 2-3).
Because the
important
teachings on
children were
removed from the
Gospels, it
remains
virtually
impossible for
the modern
believer to gain
entrance into
the Inner
Kingdom |
|
|
|
 |
What Happened To
Zackarias?
Because the
mainstream of
Christians can't
even begin to
answer the
question as to
what happened to
Zackarias? It
remains
impossible for
them to
understand the
true reality of
the scriptures
-- or why the
religion of the
pre-Nicene
Church Fathers
was very
different than
the dogma
preached from
the pulpits
today. And
while the
missing account
of Zackarias can
be easily proven
today, the fact
that the modern
Christians
ignores the
facts and the
truth has had
the effect of
disenfranchising
them from the
Kingdom they
have been
commanded to
seek out.

Things
Christians Never
Tell Jews About
The New
Testament:
Many Jews have
been misinformed
when they have
been warned by
Christians that
if they don't
believe and come
to Jesus, they
will not inherit
salvation and
eternal life.
Part of this is
an error of
ignorance --
i.e., because
their Christian
forefathers were
adulterous, and
defiled their
own covenant
with the Lord in
the manner of
the Jews when
they worshiped
other gods, they
have yet to
recover from
their spiritual
temple being
plundered and
ravished by the
unclean and dark
forces of this
world. They
therefore have
lost their own
way, and no
longer can come
into the
Presence of the
Lord.
The Facts:
Both Christians
and the Jews
they have
persecuted,
condemned, and
even murdered
over the past
two thousand
years will be
shocked by what
they will read
herein! What
they will learn
is a fact that
has long
confused many
sincere students
of the New
Testament
scriptures --
scriptures which
are very Jewish
in origin -- and
because of their
very mystical
Jewish essence,
has long
confounded the
non-Jews who
have championed
the Gospel
message. To
their own
undoing, most
Christians
ignore their own
theologians and
biblical
scholars who
have attempted
to warn them
that the
scriptures are
paradoxical --
i.e., that in
all theological
positions there
exists two lines
of seemingly
opposite and
conflicting
truths presented
to the reader --
and those who
accept one truth
while ignoring
the other, will
themselves fall
into heresy by
falling into
grave sectarian
error with
respect to the
true meaning of
the Gospel
message. Thus,
those who
maintain that
there is no
salvation apart
from belief in
the historical
Jesus in the
manner of modern
Christian
doctrine, have
themselves
fallen into the
trap of heresy
that the very
first followers
of Jesus warned
believers not to
fall into! And
while it is true
that these
sectarian vicars
of the Church
can prove their
position by
using the
scriptures, it
is further true
that their own
scriptures also
contain another
line of truth
that presents an
entirely
different
picture than
what the Church
has portrayed to
the world -- a
picture where
the opposite is
also true.

The Sower And
The Seed:
Unless you
become the "good
ground" in the
parable of the
Sower And The
Seed, it will
remain
impossible for
you to
comprehend the
true spiritual
meaning of the
Gospel and the
higher reality
of the soul and
the Kingdom of
God. |

The Secret
Doctrine Of
Christianity:
In the
approximate year
of 178 of our
Common Era,
Celsus, the
Epicurean
Philosopher and
opponent of
Christianity
published a
rather
embarrassing
work in
opposition to
Christianity
known as The
True Word or
Discourse. It is
said that this
work was widely
published and
used by the
Pagan world as
an attack on the
Church. In
examination of
this document,
the modern
Christian must
initially ask:
Who today would
accuse the
Christian Church
of being a
“secret
system”?
No one --
because the
Church today has
lost its
spiritual
essence -- and
is a mere shadow
of its former
self over the
first three
centuries of its
existence.
Therefore, it is
important for us
to recognize
that such an
allegation would
be unheard of in
our present
time. |

The Enigma Of
The Shepherd Of
Hermas:
Even though it
is said of the
Shepherd of
Hermas that it
was
"...the most
popular books,
if not the most
popular book, in
the Christian
Church during
the second,
third, and
fourth
centuries...",
it remains
unknown to the
modern Church.
Why? Why was the
book that is
representative
of the core
Gospel of the
earliest Church,
no longer is use
today? Because
while Hermas
reflected the
original
teachings of
Jesus and TheWay,
it would be
deemed heresy by
the modern
Church. And when
rightly
understood, the
fact of the
matter is that
it is impossible
for the modern
believer,
critic, biblical
expert or
scholar to in
any manner
understand the
message that
Hermas bears.
Which means that
if the Shepherd
of Hermas was
indeed the most
popular
scripture in the
Gentile Church
over the first
three centuries,
then it can
rightly be
stated that the
modern Church
has virtually
nothing in
common with the
pre-Nicene
Gentile Church.

Divine Manna:
"To him who
overcomes will I
give to eat of
the hidden
manna"
(Rev 2:8-17).
"My People
Are Destroyed
For Lack Of
Knowledge
Because You Have
Rejected
Knowledge, I
Reject You..."
(Hosea 4:6).
"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).
"Therefore, he
who rejects this
instruction does
not reject man
but God, who
gives you his
Holy Spirit"
(1 Thes 4:8 NIV) |

Gospel Of
Thomas:
These are the
secret sayings
which the living
Jesus spoke and
which Didymos
Judas Thomas
wrote down. And
he said,
"Whoever finds
the
interpretation
of these sayings
will not
experience
death." Jesus
said, "Let him
who seeks
continue seeking
until he finds.
When he finds,
he will become
troubled. When
he becomes
troubled, he
will be
astonished, and
he will rule
over the All."

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. |

What was the
Mysteries of the
Gospel that
Jesus revealed
only to the
inner core of
disciples?
While teaching
the multitude of
the people only
in parables? "And
the disciples
came and said to
Him, Why do You
speak to them in
parables? He
answered and
said to them,
Because it has
been given to
you to know the
mysteries of the
kingdom of
heaven, but to
them it has not
been given" (Matt
13:10-11 NKJ).
As someone who
was there, at
the time, what
is presented in
this article is
not only far
beyond the
understanding of
any book that
you could read,
or teacher you
could seek
out. what is
presented in
this article
will force you
to re-evaluate
everything that
you thought you
knew about both
yourself, and
the very purpose
of life as you
think you
understand it.
And even more
revealing than
the three major
lies of Judaism,
Christianity and
Islam that
inhibits the
people from
understanding
the foundational
essence of all
three religions,
is an
examination of
both the lies
and profound
truths of the
emerging
scientific world
which is for the
most part
ignored by our
cultural icons,
because the
findings of
modern quantum
physics confirms
the visionary
truths of the
Mystics which
the religious
and intellectual
worlds have long
censored from
the common
understanding. |

Epistle Of
Light - Epistle
Of James To Pope
John Paul II:
2000 years ago I
lived as Jacob
the brother of
Jesus known as
James. I was
sent back to
bring about the
restoration of
the Church, and
the within
letter to Pope
John Paul is
important for
you to read and
forward. The
pope has the
power to bring
peace on earth
if he releases
certain early
Christian
documents that
are in his
possession.
Jesus is calling
out to you to
help make the
truth known!
Will you hear
the call? |

Light Of Yeshua:
The Essence of
Messianic
Judaism and
being
Spiritually
Torah
Observant. Many
Messianic Jews
attempt to
embrace
traditional
Christian
doctrine with a
Jewish facade in
an attempt to
convert other
Jews to a
quasi-form of
Jewish-Christianity
with a Pagan
foundation. In
view of the fact
that the
original
followers of
Yeshua are
historically
described as
“…rejected from
one religion as
apostates, and
from the other
as heretics”
(Gibbon: Decline
& Fall of the
Roman Empire,

The Cross And
The Seat Belt:
The only mean by
which mankind
can move beyond
his present
limitations and
struggles with
the unknown, is
to gain access
to the Source of
what he observes
and interacts
with in the
world which is
in what the
mystic and
scientist affirm
as being the (Etheric)
Field that
surrounds all
matter that we
observe with our
physical
senses. But to
accomplish this,
man must develop
ways to
effectively use
his suppressed
Intuitive
spheres of
mind. Which
means that to
even begin to
tap into the
unseen Source,
we must move
beyond our
traditional
behaviors,
mindset and
perception of
reality, and
begin to embrace
untraditional
ways that permit
the development
and use of our
suppressed
Intuitive
facilities of
mind. If what
man presently
portrays as
accidents, can
indeed be
perceived prior
to the event
taking place --
and thus, be
avoided -- then
we will have
eliminated the
massive
suffering and
even death that
is the result of
these episodes
of human
existence. And
therefore, if
the witness of
both the Mystic
and the emerging
scientific
evidence is true
-- and reality
must he sought
in the unseen (Etheric)
Field as the
Source of all
events that
transpire --
then it becomes
imperative for
man to begin to
develop and
evolve those
Intuitive
spheres of mind
that has been
abandoned and
left atrophied
by the
linear-only
elements of our
modern culture. |

How Did Jesus
Become The Son
Of God? It
is a widely
accepted
doctrine among
Christians today
that the
disciples and
Ebionite
Nazirene
followers did
not comprehend
the true nature
of Jesus,
because they did
not proclaim
that he was God
-- as did the
later Gentile
converts. Yet,
just the
opposite is true
-- i.e., the
vast majority of
Romans and
Greeks were too
pagan and
heathen in their
thinking and
mindset, to
understand the
higher spiritual
concepts that
Jesus and his
disciples
revealed to
mankind. Even
today the
problem remains
with respect to
our inability to
understand why
Jesus was
different than
we are. Because
Christians cling
to the doctrines
of Rome, they
are unable to
answer many
important
foundational
questions that
would permit
their thinking
to evolve beyond
what Paul
portrayed as the
entry-level
doctrines of the
simple faith
that are
elementary in
their
understanding.
And while Paul
warns that the
"natural"
(organic) mind
of man is
incapable of
understanding
the higher
reality of the
soul and the
Inner Kingdom
-- warning that
committed and
baptized
believers will
reject the
Mysteries of God
as utter
"foolishness" --
yet, the modern
Church to their
own destruction
continues to
ignore this
all-important
warning. What
enabled Jesus to
perform
miracles? What
enabled him to
be able to
communicate with
the Father?
Surely, we
conclude, he
could not have
been a normal
man. Therefore,
we arrive at the
only possible
answer from our
very limited
perspective and
conclude that
the Jewish
disciples and
earliest
followers of
Jesus must have
been wrong, and
he had to have
been God to know
all that he
knew, and be
able to do all
that he did.
Thus, the flaw
in the thinking
of the Church is
in their
inability to
envision and
comprehend the
manner in which
mankind grows
and evolves to a
state of
spiritual
maturity -- how
man, the
prodigal son,
who was created
in the image and
likeness of God,
his Heavenly
Father, begins
to take on all
the attributes
of his Creator
and Parent. In
not
understanding
the process by
which each of us
embraces our
eventual
destiny, we
worship instead
of imitating the
pattern that
Yeshua/Jesus
provided for all
the prodigal
sons and
daughters of the
Most High to
follow. |

Fear is often the
greatest force in the control of the masses. In our modern world where the role
of religion is no longer of a secular nature, and has thus once again benefited
from the freedom of secular restraint and control that has enabled it to become
more pure in its unrestrained expression, this freedom is the result of the fact
that it is no longer needed as the tool which the government and its
pseudo-church uses to control the people. The end result is that the majority of
believers today neither ascribe to, nor are even aware of the theological
positions that were adopted and ordained by their own churches in the past. The
legacy of the church is that people were Christian because it was either against
the law not to be, or they feared to oppose the religion of the government. In
the book, The Catholic’s Ready Answer, by Rev. M.P. Hill S.J., hell is not only
a place of punishment for the damned, but a place where all must go after death.
"So great is the holiness and purity of God", writes Rev. Hill, "that nothing in
the least degree defiled can stand in His presence". The book then goes on to
explain that: "all people …must be pure as the driven snow before entering
heaven". For those of us who have not quite attained the necessary level of
snow-white purity needed to gain entrance into the Kingdom, the method of
cleansing is to burn by fire.
In his book, The Teachings of the Catholic Church, by Dr. Arendzen, he tells us
that: "If all that was ever written, or painted, or carved expressive of the
tortures of hell could be brought before us at a glance, it would certainly fall
immeasurably short of the truth".
In a Roman Catholic pamphlet for children this description of hell was provided
in order to mold the thinking of young impressionable minds in the proper
direction: "Little child, if you go to hell, there will be a devil at your side
to strike you. He will go on striking you every minute forever and ever without
stopping. The first strike will make your body as bad as the body of Job,
covered from head to foot with sores and ulcers. The second stroke will make
your body three times as bad as the body of Job. How, then, will your body be,
after the devil has been striking it every moment, for a hundred million years
without stopping? Go tomorrow evening at seven o’clock and ask what the child is
doing. The devils will come back and say ‘The child is burning’. Go in a million
years, and ask the same question. The answer is just the same: ‘it is burning’.
So if you go forever and ever, you will always get the same answer, ‘it is
burning in the fire’".
Even after the Reformation, many of the core teachings of the Roman Church
remained very much in tact. In a book of Protestant sermons this vision of hell
was found: "When you die your soul will be tormented alone. That will be a hell
for it. But at the day of judgment your body will join your soul, and then you
will have twin hells; your soul sweating drops of blood, and your body suffused
with agony. In fire, exactly like that we have on earth your body will burn
forever unconsumed, all your veins roads for the feet of pain to travel on,
every nerve a string, on which the devil can forever play diabolical tunes of
hell’s unutterable lament".
While these concepts are no longer emphasized today, they were very much
employed as psychological tools which the governments and their secular ordained
churches of the past readily used and applied in their endeavor to control the
thinking and lives of the common people -- a people who lived in fear of
opposing the politically elite and their god. To even speak out against either
the church or the government, meant that one’s body and soul was condemned to
the fires of hell F-O-R-E-V-E-R! Moreover, to kill one deemed a heretic -- i.e.,
a Jew who was a Christ killer, a person who was thought to be a witch, or anyone
else who opposed the doctrines of the church -- was viewed as merely a means of
receiving the blessings of the god named Jesus. Guilt or innocence did not
really matter -- i.e., often the philosophy of kill them all and let God decide
who is innocent and who is guilty was the paramount theme which was embraced
during the many forms of inquisition that transpired. It was reasoned that if,
in the course of the many religious tribunals, the victims of the
government-church were innocent, it was understood that the Jesus god would give
them a reprieve. Moreover, it was reasoned that if they were innocent, they
would go to Glory that much sooner -- if they were guilty, then they would meet
their fate sooner, and their removal from this life was merely part of the
cleansing that all faithful Christians were ordained to carry out. That mistakes
were made, and innocent people were tortured and slain, was not perceived as a
crime that was held accountable to those who were merely doing the will of the
god Jesus.
The result was that the darkness which prevailed in the minds of the masses were
imbued and controlled by a doctrine of fear and superstition. In one German
town, the effects of the many tribunal type inquisitions that consumed the
people left the community literally without any women whatsoever. All females,
whether young or old, had been deemed to be the disciples of the devil, and had
thus been burnt. No one was safe. Land and business owners were routinely
declared to be satanic in order for the church-government to obtain their
business or landholdings. Political obstacles were in like manner dealt with
immediately. The masses of people were literally terrorized into submission.
People were routinely tortured to get a confession -- and whoever they
implicated while being tortured, were themselves in turn tortured in the
endeavor to get a confession as their supposed accomplices were brought before
the tribunals in order to cleanse the world of the disciples of the devil.
Though the majority of the people who were tortured and burned were innocent of
any wrongdoing, the many inquisitions that were routinely carried out had the
stilling effect of insuring that no one opposed the doctrines of the church --
which church was not authentic -- but rather, very much the religious arm of the
government. The most despicable examples of men ruled in the name of the god
Jesus. King Henry VIII was declared the divine representative of the Jesus-god
throughout all of the earth by his citizenry -- and yet, he despised reformers
such as Luther, severed relations with the Church of Rome because he was not
permitted to divorce, and had a number of wives and their relatives killed in
order to be rid of them. Regardless of his crimes, he was proclaimed by the
Church of England to be infallible and divine.
In the same way that the first man to translate the Bible into the English
language was burnt at the stake for violating church cannon, so too was any
copies of the written word that did not conform to the corrupted scriptures that
had been ordained by the church. What I will demonstrate is that, not only did
the church which was created in the fourth century initially adopt the most
tainted copies of the scriptures that existed at the time, but the church itself
then further altered the written word in order to make it acceptable to the
religion of the emperor. In many instances, more pure copies of the scriptures
were either buried or hidden so they would not be burnt and destroyed.
What we fail to realize today is the fact that the being who the Apostle Paul
portrayed as the god of this world who would soon rule the church that called
itself of Christ, with good reason viewed the authentic copies of the Bible as a
threat to his power over the people. Throughout the history of man, whenever
these more pure copies of scriptures were found, and put into use by sincere
believers, they in turn gave birth to an uncountable number of secret societies
that existed as underground movements both within and without the secular church
at Rome. Officially, these movements were deemed heretics -- and being enemies
of both the church-state and the Jesus god, they were hunted and wiped out
whenever found.
The result was that the genuine believer who embraced the Truth and the Light
had to remain silent. With the death and destruction of the holy men and women
who remained as the emissaries of the Light in this world, and the obliteration
of the genuine written word of the scriptures, the world was plunged into the
very depths of the abyss of a spiritual darkness and despair from which it has
yet to immerge even in our own day.
While it is true that many sincere members of the clergy in our present time
have attempted to restore the purity of the gospel, because these well-meaning
men and women were never taught directly by the Lord -- and neither have they
ever seen an uncorrupted copy of the scriptures -- they haven’t the slightest
idea what the original Gospel message looked like prior to being corrupted by
the Church of Constantine. The result is that even though a great number of our
modern-day clergy are often sincere in their desire to be a congregation of the
Lord’s people, their heartfelt attempts have fallen far short of what is
required to embrace the Light in the fullness of what Jesus originally taught.
Because they are totally dependent upon man’s very limited perception and
natural reasoning, and they do not possess more pure copies of the scriptures,
they are severely hampered by the fact that they view the spiritual concepts of
the original teachings of the New Covenant as heresy. From their perspective,
many of the core doctrines of Constantine and the Roman Church make more sense
to them -- having been so publicized and ingrained in the minds of the people,
when a more pure copy of the scriptures is discovered, the Genuine Word of God
is immediately rejected. Why? Because the very essence of New Covenant teachings
was often deemed the writings and interpolations of the heretics when the church
was recreated as a secular institution of the Roman Government.
It is not so much that many good men and women do not desire to worship the Lord
in Spirit and Truth. The problem is quite clearly portrayed by the Apostle when
he warned the flock of believers: "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). What this means
is that, so long as we remain divided and separated from that part of ourselves
that the scientist calls the field, man’s true spiritual reality and the true
meaning of the Gospel will remain "…foolishness to him".
The result is that, as natural men and women who perceive life through the
senses and reasoning of an organic mind that is very much of this world, when we
rediscover these more pure copies of the scriptures that were hidden from the
hands of the corrupters, discard them, and judge them to be the work of the
heretics, we are ultimately endorsing the reinterpretation of the written word
by the fourth century Imperial Roman Government. Why not! It is the Apostle
himself who warns us that the Spiritual Word of God will appear to us as
foolishness! Thus, we unknowingly perpetuate the error of the past generation of
people who called themselves Christian. Before we simply attempt to ignore these
more pure copies of the biblical texts that were altered from their original
form in order to make the apostate Church of Constantine appear to have a
semblance of a biblical foundation, we ought to first consider who initially
judged these writings to be the works of the heretics? These facts present a
very serious problem to both the modern Christian, as well as the people of the
world in our present time.
Knowing, intuitively, through a deep connection to their soul, that there is a
spiritual void in our modern-day understanding of the gospel, there has arisen a
spontaneous movement of sincere believers in many of our churches today who
perpetually call upon the Lord to open their minds to the Mysteries of the
Gospel. Thus, if the promise of the scriptures is true, and the prayers of these
many sincere believers today are to be answered, and a higher understanding of
the Gospel is to be revealed to them, the Truth must once again be set before
the people in order to permit them to knowingly make a choice with respect to
the path in life they should follow. This is necessary because it is impossible
to become a disciple of the Light, and walk in The Way that was revealed by the
Master, while the believer continues to cling to the doctrines of Constantine
and the Church of the Roman Empire. What the believer must begin to understand
is the reality that the Son of God did not enter into this world in order to
teach men what to believe -- but rather, what they must do in order to walk in
The Way, learn directly from God, and as the Prodigal Sons of their Heavenly
Father, enter into Life as they return to their True Place of Origin in the
Kingdom.
As you read this book with respect to the events reported in the Prologue, the
important and looming reality which people today fail to realize is that the
events which took place that day when the Spiritual Christians and Jews were
silenced by the power of the sword, and during that period throughout the Roman
empire in the fourth century, was ultimately one of the defining points which
totally altered the course of human history forever. In the words of President
Roosevelt, it was truly a day that would go down in infamy -- and only now can
the story even be told -- a story that each of us should know, so that we might
begin to comprehend the reason for the human sufferings and misery that have
been brought about because of that sad and fateful day that equally effected the
course of all men’s lives. In many respects, the horrendous actions of those
soldiers -- the rewriting of the scriptures -- and the recreation of a Living
Spiritual Church into a secular puppet shadow institutionalized church -- has so
impacted the people who call themselves Christian in our present time, that they
do not even perceive the spiritual essence of New Covenant teachings. The result
is that the body of modern-day believers have been so alienated from the Word,
that the Genuine Son of God is a virtual stranger in our churches today.
With respect to the above statement in the book, The Catholic’s Ready Answer,
because we no longer understand our own spiritual essence, our true relationship
to the historical man Jesus, or the means by which the soul of man is perfected,
we have totally lost any understanding of the truth embodied in the words of
Rev. Hill when he wrote: "So great is the holiness and purity of God, that
nothing in the least degree defiled can stand in His presence". This statement
is not only biblical, but it is factual to a degree that is beyond our
modern-day comprehension. The great truth that I will demonstrate throughout
this book is the fact that when the pseudo-church of Rome removed the teaching
of the pre-existence of the soul from the teachings of Jesus, and alienated
believers from any perception as to the means by which the words of Rev. Hill
are brought about, that the very essence of the New Covenant teachings were
lost, and replaced by a series of manmade doctrines that has the effect of
disenfranchising mankind from his own true reality. The purpose of this book,
then, is to re-establish the biblical mindset that is necessary for the Word of
God to grow and flourish within the body and mind of the faithful flock of
believers.
If it is true that our soul pre-existed the body which we presently inhabit,
then we must ask a number of crucial questions: What is it like to remember
one’s past lives -- an ability that has been referred to as distant memory by
those who possess this faculty of far-sightedness? If you say you don’t believe
in past lives -- that you don’t believe you have lived prior to your birth in
this life -- then you must ask yourself upon what basis you reject this belief?
Do you reject the belief in the pre-existent soul that has lived many lives in
this realm in search of its own perfection, because this belief is not clearly
defined in our present-day Bibles? Because it is not preached in our present-day
churches? You will be shocked to know that there are copies of our New Testament
Gospels that exist today that very clearly teach that the soul of man lives many
lives in fulfillment of the Biblical mandate that he must be complete and
perfect as his Heavenly Father (Matt 5:48). The grave reality which you fail to
realize is that, what you believe today, has little in common with what Jesus
actually taught, and has in fact been molded by those barbaric soldiers on that
fateful day so long ago who robbed the world of its spiritual essence.
While it is true that the ability to remember one’s distant past is only present
in about twenty percent of the population -- and most of these people are women
-- the fact that you fail to embrace the concept of reincarnation, or even
understand its impact upon your present life, is because of the ruthless actions
of those Roman Soldiers on that tragic day that altered the course of human
history. Moreover, the subject itself sounds foreign, and you are unaware of the
facts of history because of the prevalent censorship that exists today and the
lack of knowledge with respect to the above events that took place throughout
the Roman Empire in the fourth century.
One of the paramount problems that confront us today is seen in the fact that
what our children are taught is severely censored. They learn only what our
culture desires them to learn, resulting in the fact that they unsuspectingly
use a very censored and politically correct curriculum when they learn about
history. In fact, it can be demonstrated that our public school system is often
more narrow-minded and biased than the most parochial of religious schools. The
children in our modern-day educational systems never learn that there were
spiritual Jews and Christians who were slaughtered because they did not proclaim
allegiance to the god of the emperor. Because of censorship, our school children
are not even prepared to properly evaluate the tenets of a spiritual religion,
and understand it’s foundation of belief. They are therefore not even prepared
to make a conscious choice in their lives with respect to many of the things
that are of an ultimate importance. The result is that the story of the rape and
plundering of religious communities that did not profess allegiance to the god
of the emperor, and the wholesale corruption of the written word which is
presently found in our scriptures, is simply not contained in the school
textbooks our children use in our present day. Moreover, until the advent of the
internet, even those sources of knowledge and reference that we consider to be
most impartial and reliable, has thus been edited by both religious and secular
authorities who are politically motivated, and desire to conceal the facts of
the past.

As just one example of
the censorship: In 1920 the Encyclopedia Britannica, which was a British
institution, had gained popularity in the American market. Therefore, the
fourteenth edition had both an American as well as a British staff and
publishing house, and it was dedicated to both King George of England, as well
as President Hoover. The eleventh edition, which was published in 1910, had
gained worldwide notoriety, and was known as the Scholars Edition. The twelfth
and thirteenth editions were basically updates of the eleventh.
In the years before the release of the fourteenth edition when it had begun to
emerge in the American marketplace, it was immediately met with resistance.
England, which is a Protestant country, tended to openly publicize the
corruption of the early church. The position of the Protestant Church has always
been that since they have the Bible, and the Bible was the pure word of God, the
corruption of the church prior to the Reformation did not impact them. It must
also be understood that this openness with respect to the history of
Christianity was understandably frowned upon by the Roman Catholic Church in the
United States. Thus, this boast was made in the 1928 Westminster Catholic
Federation in its annual report: "The revision of the
Encyclopedia Britannica was undertaken with a view to eliminate matter which was
objectionable from a Catholic point of view and to insert what was accurate and
unbiased. The whole of the 28 volumes were examined, objectionable parts noted,
and the reasons for their deletion or amendment given. There is every reason to
hope that the new edition of the Britannica will be found very much more
accurate and impartial than its predecessors."
If one compares the eleventh edition with the fourteenth, the differences
between the two represent a rather drastic and profound rewrite of numerous
important historical facts. So much so, that the eleventh edition can still be
found in many of our libraries today -- can be accessed over the internet -- and
is often referred to as the un-castrated edition of the Britannica. While the
Roman Catholic Church viewed the many detailed articles contained in the
Eleventh, Scholars Edition of the Britannica, as being biased and objectionable
from a church perspective, the result of the censorship that had been adopted by
not only the Britannica, but all such works of reference, has had a profound
effect with respect to the disenfranchisement of the student from the actual
historical facts of the past in the study of religion.
The present story of Matthew the Ebionite elder which I used in the opening
Prologue, has only been brought to your attention because it is drawn from my
own memory of the more distant past lives that my soul has lived. Can I prove
what I allege? Yes! But many believers and non-believers alike in our society
today will readily condemn the many truths that will be revealed to you in the
following pages of this book. Why? Perhaps this question is best answered by
quoting directly from one of the famed sermons by Charles G. Finney:
"Probably there is not one of you, who
has not known many individuals professing Christ, whose lives have been such,
that you have been struck with wonder, that they could dare to call themselves
Christians. But very likely their hearts have been so hard, that they have
sincerely believed themselves to be accepted of God, notwithstanding their foul
deeds. This was the case with the Scribes and Pharisees who persecuted Jesus.
They doubtless thought themselves to be true saints. Paul, while he was
breathing the very spirit of hell, deemed himself a real servant of God. The
reason why people make this mistake is, because their hearts are so hard that
they are mistaken as to what Christianity is — they are utterly in the dark as
to what the true spirit of religion consists in, and as to who and what Christ
is. The influence of hardness of heart is illustrated by the great difficulty
which exists in overcoming false hopes. How remarkable it is, that the same
persons to whom I have just alluded, are the most difficult persons in the world
to be convinced that they are not Christians. Christ in his parable of the wise
and foolish virgins, alluded to these individuals, when he said, ‘afterward came
the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us.’ Yes, those very persons
who are influenced by the spirit of the devil, will often imagine that they are
influenced by the Spirit of Christ; and they will not give up their delusion,
but will soon in blindness, and at last cry, ‘Lord, Lord open unto us.’ Yes,
they will not be put down by preaching, or by anything else; until at last
Christ will say unto them, ‘depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared
for the devil and his angels.’ Think how hard their hearts must be; they will
not yield their false hopes, even if an angel from heaven should warn them so to
do; they will cling to them, till Christ will banish them forever, to the lake
of everlasting torment."
With respect to these words by Charles Finney: I already know that no matter
what I write -- no matter what evidence is presented -- even if the Lord Himself
was to again come -- there exists a great number of people who claim to be
believers whose hearts are so hardened, that it will be impossible to open their
minds to anything beyond what they presently believe.
Returning back to that time in the early part of the fourth century of our
Common Era when my soul lived as an Ebionite elder named Matthew, I was not
surprised by the presence of the soldiers as they combed the countryside in
search of the religious groups who had been declared heretics. Since the Council
of Niece, Ebionite and Nazarene communities, as well as the genuine Christian
groups that had been deemed unorthodox because they were of a spiritual mindset,
had been raided by the emperor’s army. As I looked into the eyes of the
soldiers, I saw that the very presence of the forces of evil was at our doorstep
-- demanding to know if we accepted the religion of the emperor -- which
ultimately, is a question that each and every person living today must ask
themselves.
Now, as I looked out at my own community, the very presence and reality of the
forces of evil was here -- at our doorstep -- demanding to know if we accepted
the religion of the emperor -- which ultimately, is a question that each and
every person living today must ask themselves in their search for the Truth.
Do you accept the religion of the emperor? Does this sound like a strange
question to ask in our present day? Though it may sound strange, what you fail
to realize it that you have already affirmatively answered the question. Each
person reading this book, as well as every other person they know, has already
accepted the religion of the emperor! It is embraced in our churches. In a
de-ritualized and secularized form, its system of belief is presently being
taught in our public schools under the cloak of Darwinism. Its mindset and
philosophy is one of the foundational axioms of our modern culture. People of
faith -- i.e., Jewish, Christian and Muslim -- as well as Atheists alike,
equally embrace its tenets. Its essence is not only fundamental to our cultural
manner of thinking, but it is in fact a moving force in every decision that
people make in our world today. How can I say this? The answer is simple: If the
majority of people were able to hear the sacred truths that Jesus taught his
faithful disciples, and know and see the higher reality of man that they were
permitted to gaze upon, then we would immediately change every aspect of the
lives we are presently living.
All the wars and the many struggles of mankind pales in comparison to the great
loss that all the people of the earth have personally suffered on that day when
the spiritual descendents of the Lord were silenced and killed. The rape of the
women, and the beating of the men, were merely emblematic of the assault upon
all the people of the earth who lived during every age and generation that
followed. In fact, every person alive today has suffered a greater loss than did
the innocent people whose lives were senselessly snuffed out on that day so long
ago. Moreover, if you could bring together all the gold, all the jewels, and all
the riches and wealth the world over, its accumulated value would not compare to
the treasure that was plundered on that fateful day when an impostor church was
conceived and ordained by the forces of evil.
What died was truly a great deal more than the lives of a few innocent people.
What perished that day was the very Keys of Knowledge that permitted the
believer to comprehend the truth depth of the Word of God -- Keys that had been
placed in the hands of man to unlock the door to the Kingdom. For those of you
who are unfamiliar with the name Ebionite, in Hebrew it means the poor ones --
and was adopted by many of the Essenes and followers of Jesus in response to his
words which are found in the Book of Matthew, fifth chapter, third verse, where
he blessed those who are poor in the thinking and ways of this world, because
theirs was the Kingdom of Heaven.
Over the course of the next three hundred years after the crucifixion of the
Lord, the Ebionite/Nazirene community continued to preserve the teachings of The
Way in the same purity with which it had been placed in their hands. As the true
people of the New Covenant, our elders possessed the ability to move beyond the
natural limitations of this world into spiritual realms, and meet with their
Lord and Teacher. There, in the Spiritual Temple of the Lord, we were taught the
Mysteries of God and the Revelations of the Light. Unlike the religion of the
emperor, our lives that we lived while in this world was dedicated to bringing
the Light into this realm that was under the dominion of the supernatural being
known as the Prince of Darkness.
Often, the Lord sent many of the elders on journeys to help both Jewish and
Gentile communities who were worthy of receiving instruction and guidance with
respect to using the Keys to the Kingdom. We lived as the Lord’s emissaries --
traveling the byways of the empire -- bearing the message of the Good News --
and bringing the Spiritual Gospel of the Word to the people of the simple faith
who were genuinely sincere in search of the Light and the Truth.
As the person who has authored this book, it was an endeavor I began almost
twenty-five years ago -- and yet, in a very real perspective, this book was
originally envisioned almost seventeen hundred years ago -- and the spiritual
fire that it ignites, was set by the very fire that burned and silenced the
prayers of the true people of God so very long ago. Throughout the remainder of
this book I will use the name Jesus in reference to the Master of The Way who
healed and taught the people on the shores of Galilee, but I do this to present
the name the reader is accustomed to hearing. In like manner, I will not
hyphenate the name of G-d in the manner of the most Orthodox of Jews -- and yet
I fully understand their reasoning that it is both an abomination and impossible
for man in his natural state to speak the True Name of the Lord. In many
instances I will speak of Christian Truth, but it will be clear throughout this
book that Truth is not only universal, but its New Covenant essence is far
beyond the understanding of the church. As someone whose soul lived in a life as
a first century disciple of the Messiah Jesus, what I will reveal to the reader
in these pages is not only unique because it represents the witness of one who
was physically present throughout most of the important events of man’s history,
but its ultimate uniqueness will be seen in the fact that it will put the vision
of one who has himself stood in the Presence of the Light, and returned from the
heavenly realms, into the modern language and understanding of present-day man.

Spiritual
Knowledge Is The Fruit Of The Tree Of Life
The
people prayed for greater truth
and insight into the Gospel --
and the Hand of God Moved, and
provided them with an
opportunity that would fulfill
their prayers. And
because their prayers were
answered with
the discovery of the
In the original biblical Greek
language, the
knowledge of man that was taught by other men, was portrayed
differently than the Divine Manna of the Kingdom that could ONLY
be imparted to man directly from the Logos -- i.e., this
Heavenly Spiritual Knowledge was called Gnosis. Paul
taught the necessity of seeking Spiritual Knowledge which in the
Greek language is Gnosis -- i.e., Ephesians 1:17 states:
"and asking that the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of
wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him"
This Knowledge that Paul teaches to seek out -- Divine Knowledge
that only God can impart to sincere seekers who have prepared
themselves to receive the Divine Manna -- is called Gnosis in
the Greek language. The
early Christian Valentinius quoted Paul's Epistle to the
Ephesians when he made reference to
Gnosis Kardias -- or, the enlightened eyes of the
heart. "I pray also that the eyes of
your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the
hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious
inheritance in the saints" (Eph 1:18). And that
Paul wanted very much to speak about the Mystery of the Gospel
to the Ephesians, but could not, is the reason he portrayed
himself as an ambassador in bonds: "And
for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my
mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which
I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as
I ought to speak" (see Eph 6:19-20). And how did a
seeker/disciple obtain these enlightened eyes of the heart?
Very briefly, by fulfilling the role of a virgin who awaits the
Lord with the oil of purification -- and by becoming the
"good ground" that permits
the necessary expansion of the facilities of mind to be brought
about, which enables the seeker/disciple to be taught by the
Indwelling Logos/Son of God/True Prophet. And in the same way
that in the parable of the ten virgins it was said to those who
had failed to prepair themselves with the oil of purification
that "Assuredly, I say to you, I do not
know you" -- even though they believed and had called
upon the Lord and was awaiting his coming, this reality of the
believer who has failed to prepare himself is further explored in
the early Christian scripture known as the Shepherd of Hermas.

of the body, mind and spirit in the life of the disciple. In the
same way that Paul called the written word of the scriptures the
"letter that killeth" (2 Cor 3:6), the same
exact formula with respect to the scriptures is presented in the words:
“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). If you attempt to interpret
the scriptures after the letter of the flesh, then you have thrown away the Key
of Knowledge that you failed to understand in the spiritual sense, and turn the
scriptures within yourself: "How terrible it will be
for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the
people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from
entering" (Luke
11:52 NLT). Christians today who read the scriptures to
find the historical Jesus, are no different than the Pharisees who looked only
to the letter of the written word -- failing to use the Key of Knowledge to open
the inner door to the Kingdom within them. And of those who
"...live after the flesh [of the written word],
ye shall die."
And to them the warning of The Apocalypse of Peter has come upon
them: "They will cleave to the name of a dead
man, thinking that they will become pure. But they will become greatly
defiled and they will fall into a name of error and into the hand of an evil,
cunning man and a manifold dogma, and they will be ruled heretically. For
some of them will blaspheme the truth and proclaim evil teaching.
And they will say evil things against each other... But many others, who oppose
the truth and are the messengers of error, will set up their error and their law
against these pure thoughts of mine... They do business in my word... And there
shall be others of those who are outside our number who name themselves bishop
and also deacons, as if they have received their authority from God. They
bend themselves under the judgment of the leaders. These people are dry
canals". 
All genuine religions are Gnostic:
The
term Gnostic is derived from the Greek word "gnosis",
which is the term used to both delineate and define experiential spiritual
knowledge, vs knowledge derived through human reasoning based upon the natural
consciousness of mankind. The objective of all genuine
religions, is to bring about that condition within the mind and life of the
individual where they are able to fulfill the statement in the Gospel of John,
and be "taught by God" -- i.e.,
"It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be
taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father
comes to Me" (John 6:45 NKJ). And it was for this reason
that Jesus commanded his disciples not to be called teacher or rabbi -- i.e.,
"But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have One
Teacher, and you are all brethren" (Matt 23:8 RSV) -- and this was
commanded, because there is Only One True Teacher, and that is the True Prophet
(see 
Plato's Cave: Plato,
the Greek philosopher, wrote a
series of `Dialogues' which
summarized many of the things which
he had learned from his teacher, who
was the philosopher Socrates.
One of the most famous of these
Dialogues is the
Allegory of the Cave.
In this allegory, people are chained
in a cave so that they can only see
the shadows which are cast on the
walls of the cave by a fire. To
these people, the shadows represent
the totality of their existence --
and it is impossible for them to
imagine a reality which consists of
anything beyond the fuzzy shadows on
the wall.
