WHY WE ARE AN ESSENCE OF GOD

WHY WE ARE AN ESSENCE OF GOD

There are numerous Bible scriptures and verses that somehow never seem to make their way to being spoken of in the pulpit and Bible Study gatherings of modern churches and temples. There are many reasons for this. 

I have taken a few moments to extract just a few of these verses that I speak of. The Bible and many other ancient writings are filled with beautiful Truth presented in allegory and metaphor. There are deeper meanings contained under and beyond the surface stories.

For the benefit of people who I know that use the Bible as an owners manual for their Soul and the way to live their Life, I will discuss these verses and try and show their non-literal, and non-historical metaphysical intent. Let it be known, there is nothing in the OT and NT Bible that hasn't been said before by earlier civilizations and previous religions. The OT itself tells us "there is nothing new under the sun." These stories are a plan for living our own Life, not just historical documentation of other people and places.

Isaiah 45:7

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

Lamentations 3:38

"Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?"

Amos 4:13

"For, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And the declarer to man what is His thought (Logos/Word)."

1 John 4:17

"By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment (decision); because as Jesus is, so also are we in this world."

Matthew 9:4

"Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, "Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?"

Galatians 4:19

"My little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you."

John 14:12

"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me - the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do."

1 Corinthians 12:27

"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."

Luke 17:21

"Neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

John 1:1

"In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God."

The LOGOS (or loosely translated as "Word") is from the Greek and has been used for hundreds of years prior to Jesus' times by philosophers to mean "the active reason pervading and animating the universe." This Greek word Logos is also translated traditionally as word, thought, principle, or speech." The active reason pervading and animating the universe was found specifically defined in Psalms 33:6-9, as the breath of God’s mouth: what He speaks, His words ... the Mind of God manifest in form. 

This LOGOS concept also dates back to ancient Egypt with the God "Hu," who spoke the world into existence. Remember also, the ancient Sanskrit word for man or mankind and for Mind was "manu." Combine these two, and we find the word 'HU-MAN. Are you beginning to see the connection? Hu-man literally means to have the Mind of God. 

Consciousness, the very basis of existence, thinks before it acts. The physical world of matter, which is in actuality, vibrating electrical energy is brought into form and made manifest by thought. By speaking the word. We are all not only ONE consciousness, and ONE Spirit ... but we are ALL co-creators of this world. The future unfolds with every thought and word and action that WE decide from NOW. 

It is mankind ... US, through the Life Source of Spirit Energy ... which we call God, that creates good and evil. Love and abuse. Order and chaos. WE are the ONE. When you come to the realization, in fact when we ALL come to this realization, then we can create a world of love and compassion rather than war, disease, famine, and abuse.

HUMAN BEING

HUMAN BEING

Look at a painting of the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. In the famous painting from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel painted around 1512, Michelangelo illustrates the creation of Adam. Adam (Adamah) is the Hebrew word for “man”. This word is derived from the word “ground, or red clay earth” and according to Genesis in the Old Testament, Adam was created from the earth. This process involved Father in Heaven (Spirit/invisible/un-manifest) and Mother Earth (physical/visible/manifest/form).

This leads us to the etymology of the word “human,” and it is a very interesting study. Here is a different look at what may have been overlooked. Much of the ancient Wisdom handed down to us was meant to be symbolic, and allegorical, rather than taken only at face or literal value. This was a metaphysical view. Beyond the physical world of matter.

First, let’s look at mankind. In the ancient Sanskrit, the word “manu” appropriately came to mean “man,” “mankind”, and “Mind”. The English word “man” is also related to the Sanskrit manu. The name “Anu” appears in Sumerian as the god of the firmament, and the rainbow was called “the great bow of Anu”.

Now let’s break it down. Starting with “Hu.” The Egyptian God named Hu is the power of the spoken word. He personifies the authority of utterance … the personification of Divine Utterance, the voice of authority. In biblical terms, this equates to “The Logos”, or “The Word” ... The Archetype of All that is.

Now, let’s do a little morphing. When we take the “Hu (God)” and the “Manu (man/mind)” we conclude that a HU-MAN BE-ING would be none other than ... base natured man, rising above lower animal and ego thought. He must actually work to BECOME a human being. It really isn’t a given.

So, knowing this … now we can understand a bit more clearly how all the killing and evil committed worldwide by mankind, can be stopped when man comes to the understanding that progress towards achieving a worldwide kingdom of peace, and love; can be accomplished … but only when man realizes the power within to actually become Human, or GODman ... Endowed with the Mind of God/Divine Source. We have an Animal, Plant, and Mineral Kingdom already ... but it is US who will bring about the Human Kingdom. 

Looking back at Old Testament scripture, Psalm 82:6 states: “Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high.” The most high is the God in YOU, in me, and in everything in this universe. We really are ALL ONE. One Source, One origin, One living interconnected organism … both physically, and consciously. You cannot cut the universe into bits of information. It is a whole (holy) living organism forever connected through the fiber of our universal matrix. An inseparable, but individualized essence of all that is. In Truth, there is no-thing that is OTHER. All is One.

A LOOK AT THE WORD HUMAN

A LOOK AT THE WORD HU-MAN

HU: The Egyptian god Hu was one of the most important gods for those serious about Egyptian deities. Hu is the power of the spoken word (Logos in Greek). He personifies the authority of utterance. In Christianity, God SPOKE the world into existence. The power of word is immeasurable. 

MAN: The ancient Sanskrit word MANU means the father of mankind. It also defines man as Mind. The word manan in Sanskrit means “thinking or ‘pondering” and is where the word mantra comes from. In Sanskrit, “man” also means “Mind” and “tra” means “freeing”... thus, “mantra” is a phrase that is designed to free the Mind. To review, MAN/Manu (Sanskrit: मनु) refers to the archetypal man, or to the first man (progenitor of humanity). 

Therefore, HU-MAN-KIND (HU-MIND / HU-MAN) ... can be see as the offspring spoken into existence from the Father, originating in Mind, and becoming manifest in form. 

The Universal Law of Mentalism says:

“The Principle of Mentalism embodies the Truth that ‘All is Mind.’ The Universe is Mental.”

~The Kybalion.

This first Law out of the 7 Universal Laws explains that THE ALL (which is all - the archetype - that is apparent to our material senses - matter, energy) is Spirit ... which in itself is thought of as the “Universal Mind.” This is the Matrix of Universal Consciousness (The Field) that pervades all of existence. The I AM, that WE ARE.

All is mind, all is energy, all is Spirit, all is One.

ALEPH TAV IAO

ALEPH TAV IAO

"The beginning, and the end."

There are three letters “I, A and W” that when spelled out, or either as a word, i.e. IAW and WAI ... have a very deep meaning. One of the reasons for the juxtaposition of these three letters derives from an ancient Hebrew/Egyptian God name “IAO,” which is pronounced “iaho.” The common expression for God, (JAH) is thought to derive from IAO. JAH, has also been shortened from Jehovah (Yahweh) and is also connected to the Tetragrammaton “YHVH,” the symbolic name of God.

The variant of IAO, i.e. IAW also has another meaning. The Greek letters, “I” Iota, “A” Alpha and “W” Omega, can be interpreted as “I AM the Alpha and the Omega” or another way of saying GOD. When Christ is quoted as saying, “I AM Alpha and Omega,” it means that "He" symbolically represents the “Word” (Logos) that is hidden within each letter.

“I am Aleph, א, and Tav, ת, the beginning and the end.”

The Aleph, א, is the first character in the Hebrew alphabet and represents God, the One, the First, and the beginning ... The Archetype ... Logos in the Greek.

The Tav, ת, is the last character in the Hebrew alphabet and represents a sacred enclosure or place, the most important of which is the Holy of Holies or the Temple, which represent the presence of the Lord. It also represents the eternal 360 circle of Life ... never ending Spirit. 

The connections between the Word (Logos), the Alphabet, and Everything are inherent in the symbol of Alpha Omega (and the corresponding Hebrew Aleph Tav).

Using the famous aleph tav (את), the plain meaning is the grammatical, where the aleph tav (את), tells us that God created the heavens (Spirit/Father) and the earth (Mother/Matter). On an allegorical level, God created the aleph-bet (alphabet) and then used the created aleph bet to ‘speak’ the world into existence.

The Ancient Egyptian God “Hu” was also said to have spoken the world into  existence. (Hu-man) The IAO is also sometimes transliterated as IEW, or with the advent of the letter “J” in English, it becomes JEW. This is not to mean Hebrew, particularly. This is an illuminated person having studied, meditated, and reach the Inner connection between Spirit and Flesh. Hence, the missed deeper meaning of a JEW being a chosen one of God, is by having become one with God and has little to do with geography and ethnicity.
