ANCIENT SACRED TEACHINGS

ANCIENT SACRED TEACHINGS 

From the beginning of recorded history, we have mention of sacred teachings concerning the rebirth of humans into a Higher Consciousness. In classical literature, reference is frequently made to “the Mysteries,” which became the technical term for secret rites and methods known and practiced only by the priest/hierophant who had been initiated. 

These sacred teachings were found in the empires of India, Egypt, Persia, Greece, AND Rome to mention only a few. The Mysteries were taught in specially created Schools by priest-hierophants who developed extraordinary techniques to assist select candidates to achieve a higher state of consciousness. These were the ancient Mystery Schools. 

In the Mystery tradition, the title “hierophant” indicated that the priest had experienced initiation into ALL levels of the Mysteries. The Mystery priesthood therefore functioned as a closed elite whose knowledge and practices were held and guarded in secret. “For those with eyes to see, and ears to hear.”

Along with precise knowledge of the teachings and rites, hierophants were well versed in astronomy, engaging in observation, investigation, analysis and recording of solar, lunar and stellar phenomena. Hierophants were also skilled mathematicians and were knowledgeable in architectural and engineering sciences. They were healers with special skills in medicine and possibly surgery. They were also historians, since the records of each civilization were safeguarded in the temples.

It is from these ancient pagan Mystery Schools that we have received the foundation for ALL world religions. Unfortunately, much of the original self-empowering teachings have been usurped, edited, and altered in order to control the congregants of the most dominant religions alive today. The esoteric spiritual stories and myths have been usurped, literalized, and presented as actual historical events that are only literal in translation. Nothing could be further from the Truth. All ancient Wisdom was allegorical and metaphorical. ALL of it, no exceptions. 

The secret teachings were under a layer of fables and parables. As it was back then, so it is today. Only the ones who have desired to do the work and dig through the murky waters have found the enlightened path. These teachings are still held in secret today by the Vatican and other global powers who are privy to them. Through this power, they control and manipulate the world population into division and separation ... and lead them down a path of darkness, rather than enlightenment. Question everything ... and you will find beneath the lies and deceptions, an abundance of Truth awaiting for you to discover it and use it to advance yourself, and all of humanity.

MYSTICAL AND METAPHYSICAL BIBLE INTERPRETATION

MYSTICAL AND METAPHYSICAL BIBLE INTERPRETATION

The Mystical and Metaphysical ways of interpreting ancient sacred Scripture demonstrates that there was purposefully concealed and hidden within the allegories and metaphors, a secret doctrine, a secret doctrine which came from the Ancient Masters under exacting conditions. By using allegory and metaphor, these ancient celestial myths kept the traditions alive through symbolism and buried literary treasure for those seeking higher enlightenment and deeper Truths. As St. Paul said, "the difference between milk and strong meat." There were the ordinary people who accepted scripture at face value, in a literal sense (the exoteric), and then there were those initiates who wanted to understand the esoteric Truths beneath the surface. The deeper messages contained within the stories. 

These deeper esoteric Truths were highly protected and reserved for approved candidates and initiates into the secret Mysteries Religions. The secret path, to the Kingdom of Heaven. At the very center, the heart of these mysteries, was the descent of the Logos and Divine Mind into all physical matter. Into humanity, as a spark of the Divine Source of all. Using the celestial methods of teaching, through myth and allegory, what was revealed was the metaphysical teachings of the descent and incarnation of the Soul into all of mankind and the Spiritual Evolution and Involution ... the awakening of the dead within the flesh of man during THIS lifetime ... within EVERY child of God/Source. 

This descent or the "fall" of the Soul to Earth, describes metaphorically the descent of God, the Spirit, Divine Mind, Cosmic or Christ Consciousness into the physical matter. This is the temporary home of the Soul during this sojourn on Earth. We come to realize, and recognize this presence of God/Source within all of humanity as the indwelling Christ (KRST among the Egyptians, Christos among the Greeks, Krishna among the Hindus). This spark of God, is within each of us, awaiting the awakening and resurrection from the dead within every human being NOW, in THIS lifetime. This was Paul's original Gnostic Gospel before the Roman Church got ahold of it and changed everything around to suit them and their plans for world domination. Many of Paul's Epistles were later forged and rewritten as anti-Gnostic, and the Roman Church did it's best to destroy the Ancient Wisdom and secret Mystery Schools that taught it was the God within - rather than Jesus only - who became God in the flesh.

Judaism maintained it's Divine Truths about "the Christ" and the "Messiah" through Kabbalah. Paul taught it through Gnosticism and his Christ and the Divine Spark within each and every man. Paul never knew of a human Jesus. Never taught a word of Jesus' teachings ... never even quoted the Sermon on The Mount. Paul's Jesus, and Rome's Jesus, were clearly different concepts of the ancient celestial and Divine Christ. So many Epistles that have been ascribed to have been written by Paul, came from the quill of Church Scribes with alternative plans. Plans not to empower people, but to overpower them, and control them through this life, the afterlife, and the next life. Knock, and the door of Truth shall be opened.
