PAUL BEARER

PAUL BEARER

Modern Bible Scholars tell us that Paul (St. Paul) actually only wrote seven authentic Epistles (letters). The Roman Church attributes thirteen to him. So, which is it then? Critical Bible Scholarship using Truth seeking investigations inform us that six of these Epistles are simply counterfeit. Deliberately anti-Gnostic, and purposefully written by the Roman Church scribes to refute Paul's mystical and non-historical Gnostic Gospels. These were the writings of early Christians 200 years or more before the formation and rise of Orthodox Roman Christianity.

In the original seven Epistles, he writes allegorically and mystically about spiritual mysteries “hidden from the foundation of the world” that affect the Soul of man and it's sojourn here in the Physical world of matter ... Earth, in form/body. Paul speaks of the “indwelling Christ” which is the Divine Spark of God - the Christ Soul - within EVERY human being. Like a pearl within an oyster. Never does Paul refer to an outside Christ, or a historical-Literal Christ in these seven authentic Gospels. This, was for very good reason.

Paul was speaking of the Gnostic Cosmic Christ, relating to the universe or cosmos, especially as distinct from the Earth. “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom, but to them it is not given” ... because these teachings were hidden and veiled among myth and parables ... allegories and metaphors. They were held for worthy initiates into the Inner Mysteries. The “mystery” of the indwelling Christ (Christos), was intended to awaken all of humanity to the incarnated God WITHIN them ... not without them.

And what exactly was this mystery? Before the rise of Roman Christianity, it had been taught for more than two centuries: 

“the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now made MANIFEST (phanerou/φανερόω in Greek) to his saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; which is ... CHRIST IN YOU - the hope of glory.” 

~Colossians 1:26-27 

Now let's look more specifically at the word "Phanerou" from the Greek (φανερόω):

"to make MANIFEST or visible or known what has been hidden or unknown, to manifest, whether by words, or deeds, or in any other way"

Note now that the Greek word “phanerou” means to make appear and manifest something from within itself not apparent to the senses. Something not apparent to others who may be simply looking at you. This is the root word we get for the English word "Phantasm." Also, "Phaneros" from the Greek meaning “shining forth ... becoming luminous.”

On the Road to Damascus, Paul had such a spiritual awakening. He changed drastically after that experience of awakening. He came to the realization that the coming of Christ occurs IN men, not TO men:

“Awake though that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” 

~Ephesians 5:14

In other words, awaken from the coma of physical Life, and become one with the Spirit of God dwelling within all of creation. Study the early Gnostics, and Kabbalah, and you will find the Bible to be a guide veiled by allegory for the spiritual journey of what takes place within mankind. Paul was a Gnostic, and the church did it's best to rid the world of Gnostics ... but then came the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library, and many other ancient texts that had not been destroyed by the church even though it tried its best, and the new findings in the last 200 years have set the Spiritual World on its ear. Research everything you've been told. You owe it to yourself to find the Truth. Knock, and the door shall be opened.

TRUE MEANING OF WIVES SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBANDS

TRUE MEANING OF WIVES SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBANDS

Please let me show you HOW this is necessary ... But NOT in a literal wife/husband sense. This is a metaphor for a deeper message that lies beneath and beyond the surface story. The Truth message, wrapped under the veil. 

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."

~Ephesians 5:22-24

When taken literally, which in this case is incorrectly, this verse causes much friction. Now, are you interested in how this verse is perfect in every way ... Without offending anyone? 

Read on, but stay with me.

Our WIFE/BRIDE (feminine) is our subconscious Mind. The subconscious Mind is the female creative principle. This is Divine Mind as a feminine expression. The one who brings forth from the womb of thought, whatever is implanted or impregnated into it by the conscious Mind. This creation will manifest from within, to without. This is the Perfect universal LAW (Christ/God) in action. We are to JOIN her in the bridal chamber ... Within our subconscious Mind, and procreate. The subconscious is not our awareness. 

Keep reading ...

The HUSBAND/GROOM (masculine) is our conscious Mind. Our awakened awareness. This is the Divine Father. The one who goes into the bridal chamber with the bride and impregnates the female subconscious Mind with thought/idea. This is LAW. The natural state for our conscious Mind is to be awake. This chamber is evident during sleep/meditation where the two can become one ... the Theta brainwave state. They are then joined to bring forth all creation. 

Now read the following verse, now KNOWING the woman is the subconscious Mind and submissive Creator within. The man is the conscious Mind where thought originates before the female births the thought ... The child ... The SON/DAUGHTER of God ... The Christ. This is where awakened consciousness meets the subconscious/submissive servant. 

"A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."

~1 Timothy 2:11-12 

Christ IS the Divine Principle ... The Divine Spark of God within ALL. This Christ (anointed one) is birthed when the two become one. The Christ is our Saviour from ignorance. The Divine will lead us through intuition into the Truth. 

John 8:32 states: "You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." It is our Source, what we are ... An individualized essence of the entirety of ALL. Each of us IS a Divine Spark of what we call God/Good. Once we understand the Truth of who we are ... which is Eternal energy/Spirit having a physical/Matter experience ... Then we come to the understanding that ALL is ONE. There is no "other," and what we do to someone/something else - we actually do to our Self. 

Scripture always has deeper meanings that go beyond and beneath just the surface stories. The parables present as the surface stories ... The EXOTERIC OUTER MYSTERIES. The deeper Truth contained within the parables, are the ESOTERIC INNER MYSTERIES. For those who have eyes to see, and ears to hear.

HIGHER SELF AND CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

HIGHER SELF AND CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS 

Religious beliefs, teachings, and dogmas have a tendency to create separation of Higher-Self (the Divine) from God/Source, because these beliefs tend to discourage a full direct and meaningful experience of Source that is WITHIN all of us. God/Source is inside each and every one of us. And this understanding, this knowing and full acceptance, is what is needed in difficult times. A healing of the separation of God is needed to reconnect all of us to the Source of all that is, and as a result to each other as well. 

Know, understand, and accept that we are never separate or separated from the Source of all creation. There is a God Essence within ALL of us. This is always the case. By relying on an outside consortium to manage this relationship for you, you are turning away from that which resides within you. Remember the wise words of St. Francis of Assisi: "what we are looking for, is what is looking." 

You do not need to rely on and reach to outside and to the external as it is unnecessary. In essence, religion and its varying dogmas and doctrines teach you how to turn away from this God/Source that all of us have within us, by relying on the external, and foregoing the internal. This lowers your energy vibration and does not help with your ascension process. You do not need to be blessed by any priest or third party religious figure to receive the blessing's of God/Source.

You can be blessed within ... and do not need to rely on others outside of you to bless you in this way. Relying on others gives away your control and freedom, as it implies separation. There is no actual separation ... we are all One, we are all Source. When you see this for what it is, you can be ready to be blessed by God/Source directly. Also, remember the word "blessing" comes from the Greek word "eulogia," which means to speak highly of someone. Just like at a funeral, the one speaking goodness of the deceased is delivering a "Eulogy."

Understanding and accepting this Truth will serve your ascension of consciousness well. You must understand and accept yourself as a part of and an essence of God, and that the blessings will come directly from God within you. We are all going to eventually merge back to where we all came from when we are ready. This is what "Christ Consciousness" is all about.

Imagine the Source of ALL Life as a body of water, and you are a cup of that water experiencing Life in that water on Earth. But that cup is still Source, that cup is still you with your own separate and distinct energy resonance and vibrational frequency. There is nothing else that is required, just the recognition of YOU, for the magnificent being of emanating Source Energy that we are. This is what living in Christ Consciousness is all about. When you know and understand and accept this Truth, you have resurrected the Divine within ... the Christ Consciousness.

Religion has hidden this Truth from you through dogma, illusions, false teachings, and deceptions. It is time now to find this Truth. When you know this as Truth in your heart and Soul, these illusions and false truths disappear. You will stand in your Truth, light, and in your own knowing. Every soul that incarnates on Earth has an innocent and pure Soul Essence. There are never bad choices, just lessons and experiences from the choices we make. We come to Earth School to learn karmic lessons, and to grow and develop spiritually. That is why we are here. Too many times, we waste these opportunities for us to evolve our Soul and Divine Essence. 

Christianity’s dogma of original sin is simply not true, and causes fear and disempowerment due to the false understanding that there is an external God sentencing us for our sins and mistakes. Nothing can be further from the Truth. In addition, this unnecessary fear causes separation from the recognition of our Source within. As we are separated, our energy vibration is lowered when our goal is to raise it.

If we feel that God/Source is external to us, we fear it, we do not see it; and there is a false separation. Not seeing this causes us to be blinded because our power is being given away due to the false understanding of a fearful God living in the clouds on a golden throne. Not only does this manifest separation from Source within, but we are filled with fear that God will punish us for something we have done. God never, ever, punishes. His mercies are new every morning. The Bible stories are allegorical myths, and were never meant to be taken as literal and historical only - there are much deeper meanings. God/Source is the force of Life inside us, and loves us all immensely. We manifest our thoughts into form, so if we feel fear and guilt in a vengeful God, that is what we will experience in our reality. And both fear and guilt lowers our energy vibration to that of base nature, rather than the Divine. 

Through this type of process, we have given up our control and power. Be careful of religious institutions that are corrupted by control issues, power, and their false dogmas and teachings and doctrines. Original Sin does not exist and had been invented to enslave the masses. We do not need to rely on an external God. Look within for salvation ... salvation from ignorant thinking and actions. The light within will shine on the Truth, and all illusion will dissipate. 

We will find our God Essence within us, not without us. We need to remove ourself from this hindering external belief systems, and raise our vibration from the destructive base nature frequency of fear - to love, as God/Source is pure Love. We experience what we feel and think. Our thoughts are energy and will manifest into form. And if we are projecting a frightening God and sin, then we are scared and become more and more bound to the dogma of the various religions that control us ... which leads us to being subservient, while helping to fulfill another's agenda. It is time to stand up in our light and in our Truth.

Eliminate fears of a vengeful and frightening God, and eliminate false separation from Source Energy / God Essence. Our ascension will serve us well by realizing and accepting these Truths. We will experience our own revelation, resurrection, and ascension when we release ourselves from the control and manipulations of religions that do not serve the highest and best good. The Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN us ... and IS Source.

Forgiveness and redemption will not come to us through religious dogma and rituals. We must develop our own internal relationship with Source. Look within to find your Source Essence. It is there. It always has been. And it is the same within all ... as we are all One in God/Source. No need to look outside to find what is inside. No third party religious person or priest is needed. Always be in a state of forgiveness, thanksgiving, and gratitude. and do not rely on others to forgive you. You are not responsible for others.

Forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. It releases you from the burden. As you continue to forgive, you are developing a closer relationship with Source. Remember that we are ultimately Source, as we are all ONE. Only WE have the power to make changes to ourself. When we understand this and accept this, we live in Christ Consciousness and reclaim our inner Divine power. We rise up to the glory that is US, to the powerful and illuminating I AM Presence inside our Soul. We find the God Self within us. Our Higher Consciousness. 

Be careful also of martyrdom religious beliefs. Jesus did not come to suffer for humanity so that we can all be saved and thus be forgiven by God/Source by dying on the cross. Once again, these are allegorical and celestial myths ... with deeper hidden teachings. Wise men, sages, hierophants, and shamans taught us how to live in the Christ Consciousness long before the story of the man from the Hills of the Galilee every found its way to the scriptures. Jesus, as a higher being of Light, showed the common man the Truth of the Christ Consciousness that had been known for centuries among Royalty and the Elite. Be mindful also, we are not punished FOR our sin but BY our sin ... negative consequences of ignorant thinking and wrongful action. This is the Law of Cause and Effect. 

Believing that Jesus died for the sins of humanity has bred the belief of a saviour. There is only one saviour, and that saviour is you. You are the only one that can save yourself. You do this by living in Christ Consciousness, by understanding and accepting your own Divinity. People need to be aware and be responsible for their own actions and this false religious belief has taken away this responsibility ... being told that Jesus is their saviour and took upon him their sins and karma. This cannot be. 

Every person needs to be responsible for their own actions and their own karma (cause & effect). This is Universal Immutable Law. This is how we grow and develop and learn. The story of the crucifixion of Jesus is fear-based. It connects a sense of obligation to be subservient to the dogmas and rituals of the early Roman Church leaders. These were not the original teachings of the Great Mysteries that led to early teachings that found their way into the ancient scriptures. 

This was done to keep people in fear and by doing so, take their power from them and put it in someone else's hands. Holy Men and Hierophants have tried to share the Christ Consciousness with others for millennia, to show others how to connect with their Inner Source Essence ... or God. We are our own savior, and the only thing we need to be saved from is illusion, ignorance, and negative emotions, thoughts, and actions. 

It is the full knowing, the full understanding, and full acceptance and integration and the BEING of Source vibration while we are in our physical body. It is being awakened to our true Self, to our Divinity. We are all an individualized essence and part of Source. And Source is a part of us. We must understand and accept this Truth. That is how powerful we really are. That is how beautiful we are. When we realize this, we are living in and with Christ Consciousness. That is when Life can change for us. That is when ascension will happen for us. We become fully awakened to the beautiful Source being that we are. All of us will eventually return to Source when we are ready.

You are living knowing that Source is a part of you, that Source is in you, that you are part of Source, as that cup of water discussed above. Find your Christ Consciousness within and find your Source within. Do not resort to devotion or worship to religion or a vengeful God that does not exist ... but find the self-realization within. The loving God of all creation. The one that promised Life, and Life abundant. 

There is no separation. We are all One. By realizing the Christ Consciousness within, you are then forgiven for your so called ‘sins’ (wrong thinking) automatically through recognition of your own true nature as Beings of Source. This is important to understand, because then we realize that we are our own saviour. 

No other being will be saving us. We are the ones we have been waiting for. When this is understood and accepted, there is a freedom from all religious dogmas that do nothing but to entrap one in unnecessary guilt, religious obligations and subservience to religious institutions. Then the shackles of oppression and control can be removed and our I AM Presence can be seen, and we have risen ... to a higher level of consciousness ... Divine.

You then realize that Jesus is symbolic and the full embodiment of the Christ Consciousness ... our Saviour within. This is a Truth, a Truth that was hidden from us for thousands of years to control us ... and designed to manipulate us through fear by false religious institutions serving their own purposes. As soon as you discover the Christ within, the Source Awareness, you WILL realize that you are your own saviour.  Be your Source. Be your Saviour. Be You. Be love, as Source is Love. Be One with all things in this universe. All is one, and one is all.

HOW CHRIST TRULY COMES IN THE FLESH

HOW CHRIST TRULY COMES IN THE FLESH

First off, we should look at the New Testament Bible for a very important verse:

 

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 

~2 John 1:7 

Based on this specific scripture, the typical argument states that John was aiming this scripture at the people who denied Jesus was resurrected in a physical body. 

Keep in mind that the writer of John, was a Gnostic. Most Gnostics did not view any of the scriptures literally ... they were allegorical and metaphorical. As such, John’s statement is in perfect agreement with what a Gnostic would have believed. 

To the Gnostics, the resurrection story of Christ wasn’t about the literal man; it was about the spiritual awakening of the Divine nature that can happen within each individual. This awakening happens while still yet in the flesh. While still here, and alive. 

So John’s statement rings true after all. Christ does come in the flesh. But this coming of Christ is the gnosis (mystical insight) attained by the individual going through a profound experience in higher states of consciousness. An awakening to the Divine Spark that is part of the spiritual architecture within all mankind. 

This entire process happens while being in a physical body. It is the "born again" experience of the spiritual nature, which rules over the physical nature. This spiritual nature is the Christ. This Christ Consciousness IS the Divine spark of God within every man. 

Remember the Apostle Paul attests to this when he states in Galatians 4:19: "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you." And he also states: "you are the body of Christ." In the scriptures, Jesus himself affirmed several times his position. At the Sermon On The Mount, he said "you are the Light of the world" to his audience. He is also quoted in John 14:12 saying: "you shall do greater things than I."

How would any of this be possible if Jesus (the man) was the one and only God in the flesh? Remember also, the church teaches the doctrine of "Original Sin" (which the Roman Church itself created). If all people are born in sin, then so then would Jesus since the church teaches that he was fully man, and fully God. 

They also try and wiggle around the HUGE problem with the "immaculate conception," meaning that Jesus' Mother Mary was without sin ... somehow bypassing the bloodline given of Adam by being impregnated by the Holy Spirit. Mary was an "almah" in Hebrew, and in Greek a "parthenos." Both of these words do not mean "virgin." They mean young maiden of marrying material. 

The virgin concept is Pagan, and makes much more sense when it is properly understood. And that is, that the Christ (or Christ Consciousness), the Divine Spark of God, enters mankind for the first time having never before been incarnate as the seed of God in humanity. It has nothing to do with sex and the breaking of a hymen as we have been led to believe by following only a literal and historical presentation. 

Celestially speaking, Virgo (the Virgin) carries a chaff of wheat. Wheat is used for bread. Bethlehem (Bethel-hem) means "the house of bread." I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that there is much more spiritual Truth and symbolism beyond any literal or historical interpretation of the great ancient scriptures. One must dig, and dig deep. The Truth is hidden ... the "pearl of great price hidden in a field." When something is uncovered, no longer hidden, revealed (revelation), we have an "apocalypse." The Apocalypse is not the end of the world ... it is a Greek word meaning to unveil ... to reveal that which is hidden. 

As is said in Matthew 7:7 ... "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

GUIDANCE OF INNER SPIRIT

GUIDANCE OF INNER SPIRIT

 

Spirit/God/Source functions in our lives to provide us with information of a higher nature. The answers to our deepest questions and yearnings are conveyed to us from God/Source in a amazing process. The "Inner Spirit" is a gift that functions in our Mind as the conduit or circuit by which higher information is conveyed to our Higher Self. 

Located in the highest layers of our consciousness, this wonderful gift actively takes OUR beliefs and feelings and reflects Spirit’s perspective ONTO them. We are given the capacity to think as God thinks when we, with intention and attention, desire to become more Spirit-like, more God-conscious ... our Divine Spark, or Christ Consciousness.

 

We grow in our relationship with our Inner Spirit through our decisions. The more we choose to respond to the circumstances and situations in our lives in a higher way, the Inner Spirit lovingly and devotedly creates the ideas in our Mind that feed us with information and inspiration - those flashes of insight, or perhaps the answer to a question coming in an innovative or fresh idea or concept. The information builds in our being over time and helps us to look at life in a different way ... in a better and more positive light. Sometimes, its an AH-HA moment. 

 

Activating and building a relationship with our Inner Spirit happens when we take time during the day to quiet the Mind, and take the time to ask for the higher information to weave into our everyday thoughts. We should ask our Inner Spirit questions about our Life. The answers will come in time through this process of quieting the noise of our mental chatter (I call it monkey chatter). 

Stilling the Mind is the fundamental step to take in allowing the spiritual energy in Mind to relax the body so what God/Source Energy wants to direct to you can resonate within. The universe within and without, is always broadcasting, and we have to take the time to receive the message ... to download the file. Spending time away from the busyness of the day distances us from the usual thoughts we think, so that the thoughts that Spirit would like our Higher Self to think, can grow within Mind and body.

 

Spending this quiet time in spiritual contemplation or meditation gives our Inner Spirit the opportunity to convey feelings of peace, love, joy, strength, courage, faith, patience and tolerance to help us continue to live our lives better through our Higher Self. Our Inner Spirit gives us the picture of who we really are and helps us to recognize our Divine Life Plan ... so we can follow and achieve it more consciously.

 

In allowing the Thoughts of God/Source Energy through our Inner Spirit to reflect love and Truth into the Mind and body, we are laying the foundation for the plans of Spirit within, to move us further away from our base animal nature, and closer into union with our Higher Divine Nature; thus enabling us to become more of who we really are - a intricate and integral expression of creativity and love as an individualized essence of the entire universe.

1 JOHN 4:17 ESOTERIC VIEW

1ST JOHN 4;17 ESOTERIC VIEW

"By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment;

“… because AS HE IS, SO ALSO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD." (KJV)

“… because we live like Jesus here in this world.” (NLT)

You won't hear this verse being preached from the pulpits. Simply because if “as Jesus is, so are we in this world” ... then as Christianity believes Jesus to be God, then WE, are also God. There is no way to dispute this verse. If you are a believer that the Bible is the infallible Word of God, then you must believe this to be a true statement. 

Herein lies the problem of modern day Roman inspired Christianity. They take the Bible to be a literal and historical record of true events only, rather than the intention of the writers who delivered the original message with allegory, parables, and metaphors. These original Writers masked the hidden lessons or Truths, within a story, myth, or fable. They didn't have DVD's, movies, Internet, and recorders. They used a passion, a play, a drama, to speak the story mouth to ear until eventually they began to write it down. It had to be entertaining to the masses. It had to draw their attention and help them to remember the hidden Wisdom behind the myth by remembering the story itself. 

The Bible, although a magnificent literary and spiritual artifact, is a composite of multiple myths from multiple civilizations and belief systems gathered, collected, and personalized by the Hebrews in the Old Testament, and Hebrews, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, and Romans, etc. in the New Testament. The stories have existed since before historical records had begun. But the names, places, people, and geography have been changed to fit the Hebrew people of the time. Then, Roman Empirical powers formed the New Testament myths by combining, editing, changing, adding to, revising, and essentially taking creative license to create a new unified or “universal religion” to bring the empire back together under one system of belief. Keep in mind that the Greek word for universal is “catholico” (Catholic). At the Council of Nicea in 325CE, Emperor Constantine and his council created what would become a new religion known as Christianity. 

Now, back to the original verse from 1 John 4:17. We have to go beyond the letter of the law, and into the Spirit. We also have to go back in time to pre-Roman Christianity. We have to find the “pearl of great price” hidden in the the text. We also have to look at “Jesus” (not yet Christ) as an archetype, or a reflection of each of us. His-story, is our-story.  The story of mankind, becoming awakened to the Divine within. “Jesus” became the Christ. All of us have within us the Divine Spark of God and “AS JESUS IS, SO ALSO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.”  

We have to awaken or resurrect this Divine within us (our boat/ark) ... which resides in the same way as the pearl lies deep within the oyster. Just as the Apostles went inside the boat to awaken Jesus during the storms and tempest they were experiencing ... so we go within our boat/body and awaken the Christ to carry us through our storms. This is the deeper teaching. It is the Divine within us that helps us to calm the rough seas and high winds we experience here in the Earth plane. 

Symbolically within the texts, we see the “INRI” symbol. This can be found above many crosses and crucifixes of Jesus and stands for the sacred fire. In the Old Testament Book of Exodus, Chapter 3, God reveals himself to Moses through the sign of a burning bush, which miraculously is not consumed by the flames. We also find in the OT Book of Deuteronomy 4:24 “For the LORD your God is a consuming fire ...” In Latin, that fire of the Lord is symbolized by the mantra written at the top of the cross, I.N.R.I., Ignis Natura Renovatur Integra, meaning “fire renews nature incessantly”. That fire is a solar fire; it is the cosmic Krestos, that in order to work, to manifest its power, it does it through the cross. 

Thus, this is something that we must analyze and comprehend, because the cross is formed by two beams, one vertical and the other horizontal. The vertical beam represents the masculine, positive, solar force that emerges from the abstract absolute space, and penetrates the universe when impregnating the matter, which is that other substance which in Sanskrit is called Akash. In other words, what in Sanskrit is called Prana is Christ, the positive energy, and Akash, the passive energy, from the same source. You will also see this symbolism in the Egyptian Ankh. Complete with its womb of the universe at the top of the cross. 

The union of the two originates the universe. So from this point of view, we have to understand that the cosmic Christ is universal and the origin of everything that exists, in any galaxy of matter or anti-matter. The cross is the intersection of Spirit and Matter ... positive and negative ... masculine and feminine. So from the crossing or union of these two forces appears that which we call the universe. Now, the objective for that energy to appear in the universe is to make Consciousness of its own entity in its different aspects. 

Jesus becoming the Christ (karest, christos, krishna, krestus) is an archetype of you and I also becoming one with Christ Consciousness ... the Divine. Jesus said to his followers “you shall do greater things than I.” How is this possible if Jesus is God, as Christianity believes? In the NT Book of John 17:21 Jesus is quoted as praying to the Father/Source and saying “I pray that they may all be ONE, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us ...” On a deeper esoteric level, and through modern Quantum Physics, we now know that this statement was nothing other than Truth. We are all one. We are tied together through universal unconsciousness ... the Field. The fiber of the Matrix of the entire universe. There are no "things" ... there is only IT. And we are all an individualized integral element and substance of the entire universal organism. 

The Beatles wrote and recorded a song called “I Am The Walrus.” The song's opening line, “I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together” which pretty much sums up the concept of Oneness with Source/God. The very word “Jesus” is the Greek (Ieasus) and Latin (Iesus) version of the Hebrew word Joshua (Yehoshua). They are all the same. And from the original Hebrew, the meaning of the word itself in it's entirety (YHSVH) means “God is Saviour.” Just as Yahweh, and Jehovah are transliterations of YHVH ... meaning I am that I am, or I exist. Not the name of God ... but actually being God. 

God is not a name, it is a title. Just as Jesus Christ is a title. The title would be something along the lines of “I AM anointed Saviour, or King.” So, God/Source IS the Saviour is what Yehoshua Messiah (Christ) means. That force within us all that saves us from our base nature ignorant and self-centered ego driven animal being, to the Divine and righteous knowing and illuminated Higher-Self that can connect to, and become part of ... God/Good/Source. Because ALL things have come from ONE SOURCE, all things contain the elements of that Source. This is simple logic. Just as anything made from water, contains water. 

So in closing, “Jesus The Christ” represents ALL of us. Because just as 1 John 4:17 clearly states ... “because AS JESUS IS, SO ALSO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.” The NT Bible is not merely the story of a man who walked the hills of Galilee, it is OUR story presented in myth in the same way thousands of years of previous civilizations related celestial astrotheology to mankind. Our story, is written in the stars ... and we are made of star stuff. Awaken, and be the Light of the World.

MYSTICAL AND METAPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION

MYSTICAL AND METAPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION

The Mystical and Metaphysical ways of interpreting ancient sacred Scripture expresses that there was purposefully concealed and hidden within the scriptural allegories, 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 masses who accepted scripture at face value, in a literal and historical sense only, and then there were those select initiates who wanted to understand the esoteric Truths beneath the surface stories. 

These deeper esoteric Truths were highly protected and reserved for approved candidates and initiates into the secret mysteries religions of the day. The secret path to enlightenment, to the Kingdom of Heaven. At the very center, the heart of these mysteries, was the descent of the Logos (the Word) and Divine Mind into all physical matter. Into humanity, as a spark of the Divine Source of all that is. 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. 

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that CHRIST has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess CHRIST is not from God; this is the spirit of the ANTICHRIST … and now it is already in the world. You are from God … for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world … The one who knows God listens to us; the one who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.”

1 John 4:1-6

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 realm of physical matter, or form. 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 their empirical pen and ink on 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 rewrite the Ancient Wisdom and secret Mystery Schools that taught the God WITHIN, rather than their Saviour Jesus, who was the only one to become God in the flesh.

“ … because as He is, so are we in this world.”

1 John 4:17

“For IN HIM we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘WE are his offspring.’”

Acts 17:28

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 that was found 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 motives. The motives were not to empower people, but to overpower them and control then through this life, the afterlife, and the next life. Research that which you believe. You’ll find empowering lessons contained deep within the surface text.

HIGHER SELF AND CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

HIGHER SELF AND CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

Religious beliefs, teachings, and dogmas have a tendency to create separation of Higher-Self (the Divine) from Source because these beliefs tend to discourage a full direct and meaningful experience of Source that is within all of us. God/Source is inside each and every one of us. And this understanding, this knowing and full acceptance is what is needed at these difficult times. A healing of the separation of Source is needed to reconnect all of us to Source, and as a result to each other.

Know and understand and accept that we are never separate or separated from Source. There is a God Essence and Source within all of us. Within everything. This is always the case. By relying on an outside agency or institution to manage this relationship for you, you are turning away from that God Source within you. Remember, what you are looking for is what is looking. 

You do not need to rely on and reach to outside and external sources as it is unnecessary. In essence, religion and its varying dogmas and doctrines teach you how to turn away from this God/Source that all of us have WITHIN us, by relying on an external God, and denying the internal essence. 

This lowers your energy vibration and does not help with your Christ Consciousness process. You can be blessed within ... and do not need to rely on others outside of you to bless you in this way. Relying on others gives away your control and freedom, as it implies separation. There is no separation as we are all One, we are all Source. When you see this for what it is, you can be ready to be blessed by Source directly. Also, remember the word “blessing” comes from the Greek word “eulogia,” which literally means “to speak highly of someone.” Just like at a funeral, the one speaking goodness of the deceased is delivering a Eulogy.

Understanding and accepting this Truth will serve your ascension of consciousness well. You must understand and accept yourself as a part of, and an essence of, God/Source ... and that the blessings will come directly from Source. We are all going to eventually merge back to Source when we are ready. This is what “Christ Consciousness” is all about.

Imagine Source as if a body of water, and you are a cup of that water experiencing life in that water on Earth. But that cup is still Source, that cup is still you, with your own separate and distinct energy resonance and vibrational frequency. Mind, is One. All is Mind. The Universe (YOUniverse) is mental.

There is nothing else that is required, just the recognition of You, for the magnificent being of Source Energy that we are. This is what living in Christ Consciousness is all about. When you know and understand and accept this Truth, you have resurrected the Divine within - the offspring - the Christ Consciousness. 

Religion has hidden this Truth from you through dogma, illusions, false teachings, and deceptions. It is time now to find this Truth. When you know this as Truth in your heart and Soul, these illusions and false truths disappear. You will stand in your Truth, light, and in your own knowing.

Every soul that incarnates on Earth is an innocent and pure Soul Essence. There are never bad experiences, just lessons and manifestations from the choices we make. We come to Earth School to learn these lessons, and to grow and develop spiritually. That is why we are here. Too many times, we waste these vast opportunities we have to evolve our Soul and Divine Essence. 

Christianity’s dogma of original sin is not true, and causes fear and disempowerment, due to the false understanding that there is an external God sentencing us for our sins and mistakes. Nothing can be further from the Truth. In addition, this unnecessary fear causes separation from the recognition of our Source within. As we are separated, our energy vibration is lowered when our goal is to raise it. “The Kingdom of Heaven/God is within you.” Remember, “God keeps no records of wrong” ... “His mercies are new every morning.”

If we feel that God/Source is external to us, we fear it, do not see it, and this causes separation. Not seeing this causes us to be blinded as our power is given away due to the false understanding of a fearful God living in the clouds on a golden throne that simply does not exist in this imagery. Not only does this manifest separation from Source within, but we are filled with fear that God will punish us for something we have done, or haven’t done. God never, ever, punishes. The Bible stories are allegorical myths, not to be taken literally. Look to the deeper esoteric messages. God/Source is inside us and loves us all immensely. We manifest our thoughts into form, so if we feel fear and guilt in a vengeful God, that is what we will experience in our reality. And both fear and guilt lowers our energy vibration to that of base nature. There is no benefit. This way of thinking does not serve us.

Through this type of process, we have given up our agency, control, and power. Be careful of religious institutions that are corrupted by false dogmas, teachings, and doctrines. Original Sin does not exist and was invented to enslave the masses. We do not need to rely on an external God. Look within for salvation ... salvation from ignorant thinking and actions. The light within will shine on the Truth, and all illusion will dissipate. Saviour Self.

We will find our God Essence within us, not without us. We need to remove ourself from this hindering external belief systems, and raise our vibration from the destructive base nature frequency of fear - and to love, as God/Source is pure Love. We experience and create what we think, feel, and choose. Our thinking manifests as energy and will manifest into thought form. And if we are projecting a frightening God and sin, then we are scared and become more and more bound to the dogma of the various religions that control us ... which leads us to being a subservient puppet. It is time to stand up in our light and in our Truth.

Eliminate fears of a vengeful and frightening God and eliminate separation from Source Energy / God Essence. Our ascension will serve us well by realizing and accepting these Truths. We will experience our own revelation and resurrection when we release ourselves from the control and manipulations of religions that do not serve the highest and best good. The Kingdom of Heaven is within us ... as is Source.

Forgiveness and redemption will not come to us through religious dogma and rituals. We must develop our own internal relationship with Source. Look within to find our Source Essence. It is there. It always has been. And it is the same within ALL ... as we are all One in God/Source. Always be in a state of forgiveness, thanksgiving, and gratitude. and do not rely on the need for others to forgive you. You are not responsible for the spiritual journey of other.

Forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. It releases you from the burden. As you continue to forgive, you are developing a closer relationship with Source. Remember that we are ultimately Source as we are all One. Only we have the power to make changes to ourself. This is all done through our thinking. When we understand this and accept this, we live in Christ Consciousness and reclaim our power back. We rise up to the glory that is US, to the powerful and illuminating I AM Presence inside our Soul. We find the God Self within us. Our Higher Consciousness. 

Be careful also of martyrdom religious beliefs. Jesus did not come to suffer for humanity so that we can all be saved and thus be forgiven by God/Source by dying on the cross. Once again, these are allegorical and celestial myths ... with deeper hidden teachings. Composite teachers, sages, and shamans taught us how to live in the Christ Consciousness long before the story of the man from the hills of Galilee. Jesus, representing a higher being of Light for us ... he represented for the common man the Truth of the Christ Consciousness that had been known for centuries among Royalty and the Elite. 

A martyr can never result in the forgiveness of others because this would violate the Universal Law of Karma (Cause and Effect). You cannot escape your own karma and no savior will remove it for you. That would be cheating the Universal Law of Karma. This would violate people’s free will and take away the karmic responsibilities of everyone. We are not punished FOR our sin but BY our sin ... negative consequences of wrong thinking, feeling and choosing ... and wrongful action. 

Believing that Jesus or any of the other previous Godmen died for the sins of humanity has bred the belief of a saviour. There is only one saviour and that saviour is you. You are the only one that can save yourself (saviour self). You do this by living in Christ Consciousness, by understanding and accepting your own Divinity. People need to be aware and be responsible for their own actions and this false religious belief takes this onus away ... as now they feel that Jesus is their saviour and took upon him their karma. This cannot be. If you wholeheartedly believe that Jesus died for our sins, then why is there so much “sin” in our world 2,000+ years later? Either this teaching is false, or he failed. You choose.

Every person needs to be responsible for their own actions and their own karma. This is Universal Immutable Law. This is how we grow, develop, and learn. The story of the crucifixion of Jesus was to breed martyrdom, fear, and a sense of obligation to be subservient to the dogmas of early Roman Christianity. These were not the original teachings of the Great Mysteries. 

This was done to keep people in fear and by doing so, take their power from them and put it in someone else's hands. Holy Men and Hierophants have tried to share the Christ Consciousness with others for millennia, to show others how to connect with their Inner Source Essence ... or God. We are our own savior, and the only thing we need to be saved from is illusion, ignorance, and negative emotions and actions. 

It is the full knowing, the full understanding, and full acceptance and integration and the BEING of Source vibration while we are in our physical body. “He who denies Christ came in the nobody is an anti-Christ.” Not in HIS body, but in THE body ... ours. It is being awakened to our true Self, to our Divinity. We are all an individualized essence and part of Source. And Source is a part of us ALL. We must understand and accept this Truth. That is how powerful we really are. That is how beautiful we are. When we realize this, then we are living in and with Christ Consciousness. That is when Life can change for us. That is when ascension will happen for us. We become fully awakened to the beautiful Source being that we are, and all of us will eventually return to Source when we have completed this incarnation and Life experience.

You are living knowing that Source is a part of you, that Source is in you, that you are part of Source, as that cup of water discussed above. Find your Christ Consciousness within and find your Source within.  Do not resort to devotion or worship to religion or a vengeful God that does not exist ... but find the self-realization within.

There is no separation. We are all One. By realizing the Christ Consciousness within, you are then forgiven for your so called “sins” (karmic transgressions and wrong thinking) automatically through recognition of your own true nature as Beings of Source. This is important to understand because then we realize that we are our own saviour. 

No other being will be saving us. We are the ones we have been waiting for. What you are looking for, is what is looking. When this is understood and accepted, there is a freedom from all religious dogmas that do nothing but to entrap one in unnecessary guilt, religious obligations and subservience to religious institutions. Then the shackles of oppression and control can be removed and our I AM Presence can be seen and we have risen.

You then realize that Jesus is representative and the full embodiment of the Christ Consciousness ... our Saviour within. This is a Truth, a Truth that was hidden from us for thousands of years to control us ... and designed to manipulate us through fear by false religious institutions serving their own purposes. As soon as you discover the Christ within, the Source Awareness, you WILL realize that you are your own saviour.  Be your Source. Be your Saviour. Be You. Be love as Source is Love. Be One will all things in this universe. All is one, and one is all.

CHRIST FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

CHRIST FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

The Christ

We live in a great being – a body, a Mind, a Soul – an infinite intelligence that is sentient and creative. The spectrum of its existence, extends farther and deeper than we can imagine. 

The range of its experience exceeds our ability to fathom, going into places that are so remote that speculating about their nature would serve no practical purpose. 

In fact, such speculation can only be a distraction and lead us away from any meaningful understanding of God’s nature. So, it is most practical for us to start at the center of our experience and work outward from there, and the center of our experience is ... the SUN.

In our scientific age, we tend to reduce everything to its material substance. The science community seems to have a love affair with material existence. Most scientists even regard consciousness as the product of the brain, having no existence except within the skull of the individual. 

When someone mystically inclined, claims to experience consciousness in nature, science calls it “projection” - merely the imagination seeking evidence of a greater life, but in its passion an enthusiasm sees only its own reflection. This is the conditioning of the scientific age in which we live. But in reality, nothing could be further from the Truth. For Truth, we must wander back in time ... thousands of years in fact.

The Sun is the center of Life. Within its gravity field, exist all of the patterns we know, all of the intelligence, all of the moving force and animating energies of every living thing. 

The planetary bodies surrounding the Sun in space, are the organs of its body, a body that extends out to the farthest reaches of the heliosphere. 

The space within its skin is filled with complex dynamics, both visible and invisible, and every one of these is reflected within the boundaries of our body, each of our organs corresponding to the planets. Microcosm and Macrocosm. As above, so below. One of the most ancient of mantras. 

Where the scientist sees only rocks, ice, and gasses, the mystic sees intelligence, life, and consciousness. It is one thing to admit that all matter is vibrating energy; and it is quite another to acknowledge that the vibrations are the effect of a higher Source Energy, one that is diametrically opposed to its manifested form. 

This higher Source Energy is deep and unknowable, beyond words, beyond concepts, and yet more powerful than all the rest combined. It is a negative power, one that pulls everything into being ... out of its own potential ... by the sheer force of its all-knowing intelligence. It is the Void (Ayin in Hebrew). The unlimited potential of all things. 

Science admits that there is “something else,” ... something it cannot see. But in its insistence in making all new data fit into its limited model of materialism, it is blind to this underlying substance of great power.

Mystics have known this force since the beginning of human awareness. They could discern the movements of its power by the nature of the energies induced within their own psyche. 

Their Mind and body was their “scientific instrument" ... an instrument far more sophisticated than the tools we use today. Tools that only attempt to replicate the powers of detection we carry around with us right here inside our own skin.

Its very important that we understand the system within which we live within. If we do, we will know everything else by default. Among the ancient hierophants, “Man, know thyself” was completely understood. The physical body of the Sun is but the first manifestation of the The whole of creation, the organizing principle, the Seat of Power. All things proceed out from the Center, and to the Center they return. This is the secret of alchemy, the heart of Gnosis, the Philosopher’s Stone. We are all but rays of the sun ... emanating from, and being dependent upon it.

And God said, “Let there be Light!” This was the light of consciousness. The Christ consciousness. The Begotten of God/Source ... And this Source, is the point of origins, and the sustainer of Life. The Divine Spark of God lay dormant within all things, awaiting to be known, and awaiting to resurrect from within the base nature man.

SOPHIA: SPIRITUALITY OF LIGHT

SOPHIA: SPIRITUALITY OF LIGHT 

In this writing, we talk a bit about Cosmology and the emergence of our Inner Light. This article involves not just a Trinity, but a Quaternity (union of a group or set of four). My granddaughter has been named Sofiah (Sophia) and it pleases me spiritually. You see, this “Sophia” (Greek for Wisdom/feminine) and her Inner Spark provide us with a completion of the original creation of the Trinity. The actual Quaternity, involves Father (God/Source), Divine Mother (Great Emanation) and then paired with the offspring of the two ... the Logos and His consort, Sophia. The Greek Goddess of Wisdom. 

To say the least, Sophia is vastly important in the role of cosmology. We ourselves awaken the Divine Spark of Light within, and join with our Christ consciousness to complete the cycle of base nature animalistic man, to resurrection as the Divine Christ or Higher Self ... Godman. The Light body of Christ ... as Paul wrote ... “we are the body of Christ.”

Consider this: 

The Unknown God or “Agnostos Theos” (Ancient Greek: Ἄγνωστος Θεός) is a god mentioned by the Christian Apostle Paul’s speech in Acts 17:23. The ancient Greeks worshipped a deity they called "Agnostos Theos"; that reference is to the “Unknown God.” Plato wrote of the One who is “neither named … nor known. The Founding Fathers of the Christian Church were fond of quoting Plato in order to show that the philosopher urged pagans to seek out the unknown god. The patristic tradition of the church is nearly unanimous in recognizing Christ as a type of hierophant of Divine Mysteries.

“Christ had left men with no excuse for ignorance, since he was the visible image of the invisible God and the revealer of the divine mystery.”

-Colossians  1:15

Now, consider this:

“In the beginning, there was Source, an unknown God, All That Is. This being was All that there was, as there was no other. This Being had within all that it knew. The crisis of solitude led this Being to let go and allow for what was within him, to express itself outwards, and this happened in a burst of Light.”

This Great Emanation (Ruach/Pneuma/Holy Spirit) that was the burst of Divine Light came from the original unfathomable Godhead. What She would call “Father” and saw the face of the Godhead who would be known as “The Ancient of Days.” In the amazing writings of Manly P. Hall in the book “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” he depicts the relationship between the original Godhead, “Divine Mind” (which released cosmic thought) - the Cosmic Light which in Greek is "Pronoia" (forethought/feminine) used as Divine Maternal Being in Gnostic texts ... the Thought that emerges from Divine Mind. 

From a union of Love, between the Ancient of Days, and the Emanating Spirit (Father/Mother) came the Logos (Word) which is the Christ (Christos) ... Eternal and beyond any religious system. It is this identity incarnated into the physical vehicle (body/soma) of the Christ that brought to us the Wisdom (Sophia) of the Higher Self. From the Gnostic Mass we find “they say Christ came for all, but instead, he came for her who came for all.” This presents us with the Christ Sophia, two aspects of the Logos ... masculine and feminine, using the Christ to bring Her Light from the Pleroma (heavenly realms) to the outer regions of chaos (material world). 

From deep within the ancient Wisdom of multiple civilizations of Mythology comes the creation of the world, man, and the Divine Spark within all that is seen. I will end this writing with a scripture from the Nag Hammadi Library in The Secret Gospel of John:

“I Sophia, am the Light which exists in the Light.

I am the remembrance of the Pronoia. (Divine Thought / Holy Spirit)”

RESURRECTION SAVIOUR AND ANTI-CHRIST NOBODY TOLD YOU ABOUT

RESURRECTION SAVIOUR AND ANTI-CHRIST NOBODY TOLD YOU ABOUT

In this writing, I AM going to offer you a different view from what you have been told from the pulpits and church teachings about the New Testament Christian Gospel.

Before the Roman authorities intervened, usurped, hijacked, and literalized these biblical allegories and created a “literal and historical” based religion, there were many groups such as the Gnostics who denied an actual physical bodily resurrection of Jesus the Christ. 

Instead they believed Christ’s body was of a spiritual nature. In other words, the Gnostics, and many other Pre-Roman Church Christians (Krestiani) argued that Jesus Christ was not raised from the dead in a literal physical body.

Mainstream Christianity today considers this statement to be blasphemy. And here’s the scripture that they often use to put the final nail in the coffin:

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist” 

~2 John 1:7

Based on this scripture, the typical Christian argument states that John was aiming this scripture at those who denied Jesus was resurrected in a physical body.

Most Gnostics and early Christian sects, did not view any of the scriptures literally. They were never intended to be taken literally and historically. 

As such, John’s statement is in perfect agreement with what these people would have believed. The resurrection story of Christ wasn’t only about the literal man who walked the hills of the Galilee; it was about the spiritual awakening of the Divine nature that can happen within each individual. 

This awakening happens while “still yet in the flesh” … while still HERE ... and ALIVE in matter, in the flesh. So John’s statement rings true after all. Christ DOES come in the flesh. But this coming of Christ (the anointing - the Christ-ening) is the gnosis (mystical insight - knowingness) attained by the individual going through a profound experience in higher states of consciousness. 

This entire process happens while being in a physical body. It is the born again experience of the spiritual nature which rules over the physical nature. This spiritual nature is the Christ. Our Christ Consciousness ... the Divine Spark of the All. Scriptures remind us “the Kingdom of God/Heaven is WITHIN.” This is the temple ... this is Golgotha ... the place of the skull. 

This entire concept was taught among the Egyptian Mystery Schools and throughout the ancient world of spiritual mythology long before Christianity was formed. The Christ (crestus/krishna/chrestos) is the begotten Son of God … the Divine Spirit/Life force within every person. The breath (pneuma/spirit) that is the giver of Life. Based only on goodness and righteousness, not self serving as the base human ego is. 

Based on this view, the words credited to the Jesus of the New Testament ring true. “The Kingdom of Heaven/God lies within you … and is at hand”

The allegorical beauty of these empowering Truths have been lost on a “literal” belief system. We have lost 2,000 years of advancement, involution, and evolution. While church may offer you community and a social environment, you're missing out on the power, the Truth, and the reality that we are all ONE organism working in unison as the Universe/God/Source Energy. 

The “tomb” is your body … where the Christ awaits resurrection and release. The ancient Greeks would said “soma/sema” meaning “body/tomb.” Ancient Sanskrit defines “Manu” as Mankind/Mind, so The “Son of Man” means "son of Mind." 

When the ego remains attached to the natural man, it cannot be purified and transmuted into the spiritual ego/Higher Self. When it does, it once again becomes a “Son of God” as it was before the descent into a world of physical matter in form.

Always question everything … the Truth will speak to your Soul, and to your Spirit within.

SYMBOLS OF CHRIST AND NEPTUNE

SYMBOLS OF CHRIST AND NEPTUNE (POSEIDON)

Symbols of Christ and Neptune (Poseidon) 

Lord of Pisces

Sign of the Fish

Wine

Sacrifice and Holiness

All ancient faiths and beliefs, with no exception, were based on the oldest science, astrology - the influence of the planets. The planets were representative of the gods in ancient Greece and Rome, Egypt and Babylon, India, and virtually all over the inhabited world. Our current world faiths originated in the very same ancient world. It should not be a surprise to find they are also all based on astrology, all recognizing One God/Source of all things (Astrotheology).

The Christ is a portrait of the great Neptune, the higher, Divine dimension of this Spirit, beyond the personal astrology of the horoscope. This recognition, based on the Kabbalah, gives us the rational, credible, scientific and multi-faith/Interfaith understanding of God/Source that we need in modern times. It strongly supports the esoteric allegorical/metaphorical message of the Bible, especially the Synoptic Gospels - the message of love and peace - but avoids the literal and historical exoteric interpretation and presentation.

The “Tree of Life” symbol (search the Internet for a graphic) is the basis of the Kabbalah, the esoteric tradition behind the Bible. The Tree is quite clearly an astrological map of the solar system with all the planets and Signs of the zodiac. This tree was, and is also followed by the Gnostics.

The Tree of Life reveals the astrology/astrotheology and cosmogony at the heart of the biblical tradition, beginning with Genesis 3.22 and continuing all the way to to Revelation 22.2, where its astrological character is confirmed, as to its role within ancient and modern Christianity. “The Tree of Life which bare twelve manner of fruit (the twelve Signs) and yielded her fruit every month.” This references the monthly cycle of the moon through the Zodiac. This is the annual precession of the Sun and moon through it's cycles and seasons.

Neptune rules the Sign of the Fish (Ichthus), the Traditional symbol of Christianity. Neptune is identified with wine, holiness, suffering, sacrifice and Pisces (Vesica Pisces), the age of Christianity. Neptune was the god of the fish and the seas, and Christ is constantly associated with the Sea of Galilee and fish. He guides his fishermen disciples to a miraculous catch, walks on the water and calms a violent storm.

Jesus The Christ is repeatedly ‘the true vine’ and the “lord of the vineyard.” Wine is the special sacrament, symbolizing within Christianity, his blood. Many more Kabbalah images throughout the Gospels confirm this identification. Far too much to cover for this one writing, but we will go into other details at another time. Remember also, that Neptune/Poseidon (Latin/Greek) had a weapon of choice ... the “Trident.” In Hindu Myth, it was the weapon of Shiva and was called “Trushula,” which is Sanskrit for “triple-spear.” This in many ways is representative of a Trinity. In Hindu, it represents Deity in three aspects: Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer. The Trident was symbolic among many ancient civilizations and myths. 

In religious Taoism, the trident represents the Taoist Trinity, the Three Pure Ones. In Taoist rituals, a trident bell is used to invite the presence of deities and summon spirits, as the trident signifies the highest authority of Heaven. Both Poseidon's trident and Zeus' thunderbolt were originally a sacred labrys, but later distinguished from each other when Poseidon became god of the sea, while Zeus claimed the right to the thunderbolt. 

Spiritually, Planet Neptune is most closely linked with the work of the Soul in manifestation and is the vehicle for the Christ consciousness, which is at the Heart of Divinity. On the personal level, the indwelling Christ Principle is our Soul - more particularly, that aspect of the Soul which is Love. The Divine Spark of God. It is this facet of our self that we pray to and evoke for healing, nurturing and spiritual sustenance. Collectively, it is the indwelling Christ Principle in humanity which, when evoked, brings forth these healing properties from mankind. In the New Testament, Jesus defines “Love, Peace, and Joy” as the Kingdom of Heaven/God. 

All the Universe is contained not just without, but WITHIN. This was the message of The Christ. In the Book of John 14;9 we are reminded: “... he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father.” The microcosm/macrocosm refers to the structural similarity between the human being (the microcosm: the small order or the small Universe) and the cosmos as a whole (the macrocosm: the Great Universe). Given this spiritual analogy, the Truths about the nature of the cosmos as a whole, can further explain the Truths about human nature, and vice versa.

MESSIAH WITHIN - THE CHRIST

MESSIAH WITHIN - THE CHRIST

We are all on our own journey of Life and are many times afraid of voicing an opinion on subject matters that have purposely been protected and marked as off-limits. But, after much research, meditation, and inner contemplation, I am confident in sharing this ancient Truth. 

Each and every one of todays world religions claim that they are the “true one.” They claim to have the only true god. That they have received the revelation of Truth and everyone else is wrong. 

Well my friends, I have found that all of the ancients did have one thing in common ... it's what Joseph Campbell called the “Hero's Journey.” It is the story of US. It's OURstory ... not just HIStory. 

Now back to my thought ... 

The “Messiah” is the expected one. A universal and recurring theme in ALL World religion. The Messiah is the long awaited World Saviour, the bringer of peace and the unifier of humankind. 

Also known as the return of Christ to Christians, the Kalki to Hindus, Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Maitreya to Buddhists and the Saoshyant to Zoroastrians. So, who or what is this Messiah? 

If you study and research all the ancient Wisdom that was once the common belief system at the very foundation of every civilization that has come and gone, you will find the Messiah WITHIN us ALL. 

It is an essential archetype of Self, and an aspect of God which lies dormant in the depths of our being, waiting for the right conditions to awaken and manifest itself. This archetype is the ultimate human potential and also a powerful source of creative and transformative energy that has the ability to reshape our lives and literally change the World. 

Indeed, these are perilous times in which we live, and there is definitely a planet in need of saving. In present times and like no other time before, humankind is being brought together in an emerging one world order, the so called “global village.”

Never before has there been such a need for peaceful resolution of conflicts, clashes and disputes that now. Global merging of the human race will be inevitable. Truly, the world needs an intervention of a World saviour(s), and the World Peacemaker(s). 

We are the ones commissioned for this difficult task. It is up to US to save the World and it is up to US to help bring about peace on this planet. It is foolish to wait for a supernatural or extra-terrestrial agency to do this on our behalf. Peace, harmony, and a safer World; will only come about through our own actions. Therefore, the time has come to awaken the Messiah within. To resurrect the Christ Consciousness that lay in wait. 

God, The Absolute, The All There Is, The Source, Creator, Grand Architect ... whatever you choose to call it ... can only work through US. WE are the ones that can bring about change, and truly bring people together is love, peace, and harmony.

The Messiah is the Christ. The Christ is the Messiah. This is Hebrew and Greek. Greek and Hebrew. And as the New Testament so simply states: 

“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

-Luke 17:21

The kingdom of love, peace, and joy, are WITHIN, not without. Now, get busy ... the world needs you.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYSE

FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE - THE DEEPER MEANING

In the final book of the New Testament Bible, the Book of Revelation; we find perhaps the least understood and the most confusing and fought over book in the entire Bible. It is also called the “Apocalypse of John,” which does not mean the end of the world as many believe. The Greek word Apocalypse means “an unveiling of that which is hidden” (A Revelation). It is a book credited to a writer named John, more than likely not the John of Patmos, or the other John in the Gospels of the Bible, and perhaps - this book may have even been written by a female author, or a collective of writers. 

Nonetheless, it is an esoteric book of high symbolism and deep allegory. It is NOT a prophecy of a future literal history as is believed by so many. It is not prophecy of a literal second coming of Jesus, a rapture, and/or 7 year tribulation. This is metaphor and imagery. Signs and symbols of transformation that happens WITHIN each of us. There is contained within, above, and behind the black and white text of scripture, deep spiritual ancient Wisdom being revealed. Today, we will talk about the Four Horses and Horsemen of The Apocalypse and the symbolism of each.

The WHITE HORSE (Spirit) represents your spiritual nature. Unfortunately, the Rider trying to break him is organized religion. For the most part, the White Horse has wandered off of the path that leads to light, and gallops along carrying you deeper and deeper into the structure of organized religion.

The RED HORSE (Emotion) is your emotional nature. The Red Horse should be following BEHIND ... so that the BLACK HORSE - representing your intellectual nature - can make decisions based on right or wrong, and NOT on emotions. But generally, what happens is that the Red Horse rears up and charges, and your emotions take over, and get in the way of your ability to reason.

The BLACK HORSE (Intellect) is your intellectual nature. The Black Horse is strong and can bring you much that is favourable, but generally it is overwhelmed by the strength of the Red Horse of emotions. The Black Horse also is easily misled, and we see this in the operations of government, politics, and organized religion. We try to base intelligence on what comes from politicians, and pastors, and our intellect crashes under the hoofs of the Red Horse, and ultimately ... we are the ones who lose.

The PALE HORSE (Physical) is our physical nature. The Pale Horse is the favorite of religion, because they look to control the physical. They take control of your Mind through placing a belief system within you from an early age, and later further control your finances and way of Life, by controlling your physical nature.

Modern day religions promise great prosperity. They take, you give, they take, you give, and eventually ... the Pale Horse is caused to become lame. So you are promised mansions in heaven, or to be saved from a lurking Devil seeking to devour you, or to be healed in some miracle service, or saved from the eternal fires of hell, etc. Fear and guilt based control tactics, plain and simple.

The Horses are symbolic. They are not real horses - they are the four aspects of human nature and we ride them every day. They are the four aspects of your nature which operate through your Mind. The control center and our personality. The human personality operating through a closed and wired system in each human being and actually in control of all our actions, including our desires, our loves, our hates, etc.

The Bible, as well as ALL Ancient Wisdom, scripture, hieroglyphs, scrolls, mouth to ear myths and fables, all hide within them much deeper teaching for those who have eyes to see, and those who have ears to hear. Among the ancients, there were two Mysteries that could be followed. The Outer Mysteries, were reserved for those who desired a simple go-to-church on Sunday morning kind of following, and then there were the Inner Mysteries ... The deeper Truths reserved for those initiates willing to commit years of study in the Ancient Mystery Schools. The Outer Mysteries were the “milk” that Paul spoke of. The Inner Mysteries were the “meat” that Paul spoke of. 

“For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.”

-Hebrews 5:12

When the Inner meets the Outer, the transmutation or metamorphosis is complete and there is no turning back to the old ways. Divine meets man ... and becomes the Christ. The Divine Spark of God/Source within all things of the universe. 

“When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the Father's domain.”

-Book of Thomas, Saying 22

WIVES SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBANDS

WIVES SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBANDS

Please let me show you HOW this is necessary ... But NOT literally. This is a metaphor for a deeper message that lies beneath the surface story. The Truth message, wrapped under the veil. 

EPHESIANS 5:22-24

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."

When taken literally (incorrectly), this verse causes much friction. Now, are you interested in how this verse is perfect in every way ... Without offending anyone? 

Read on, but stay with me.

Our BRIDE/WIFE (submissive feminine) is our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the female creative principle. This is Divine Mind as feminine. The one who brings forth from the womb of thought, whatever is implanted or impregnated into it. This creation will manifest from within, to without. This is the Perfect universal LAW (Christ/God) in action. We are to JOIN her in the bridal chamber ... Within our subconscious mind, and procreate. The natural state for our subconscious mind is sleep.

Keep reading ...

The HUSBAND/GROOM (dominant masculine) is our conscious mind. Our awakened awareness. This is the Divine Father. The one who goes into the bridal chamber with the bride and impregnates the female subconscious mind with thought/idea. This is LAW. The natural state for our conscious mind is to be awake. It is during sleep/meditation that the two become one. They are joined to bring forth all creation. 

Now read the following verse KNOWING the woman is the subconscious mind and submissive Creator within. The man is the conscious mind where thought originates before the female births the thought ... The child ... The SON/DAUGHTER of God ... The Christ. 

1 Timothy 2:11-12 

"A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."

Christ IS the Divine Principle ... The Divine Spark of God within ALL. This Christ (anointed) is birthed when the two become one. The Christ is our Saviour from ignorance. The Divine will lead us through intuition into the Truth. 

"You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." It is our Source, what we are ... An individualized essence of the entirety of ALL. Each of us IS a Divine Spark of what we call God/Good. Once we understand the Truth of who we are ... Eternal energy/Spirit having a physical/Matter experience ... Then we come to the understanding that ALL is ONE. There is no other, and what we do to someone/something else - we do to our Self. 

Scripture always has deeper meanings than just the surface stories. The parables are the surface stories ... The EXOTERIC OUTER MYSTERIES. The deeper Truth contained within the parables, are the ESOTERIC INNER MYSTERIES. For those who have eyes to see, and ears to hear.

CHRIST FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

CHRIST FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

The Christ

We live in a great being – a body, a mind, a soul – an infinite intelligence that is sentient and creative. The spectrum of its existence, extends farther and deeper than we can imagine. 

The range of its experience exceeds our ability to fathom, going into places that are so remote that speculating about their nature would serve no practical purpose. 

In fact, such speculation can only be a distraction and lead us away from any meaningful understanding of God’s nature. So, it is most practical for us to start at the center of our experience and work outward from there, and the center of our experience ... the SUN.

In our scientific age, we tend to reduce everything to its material substance. The science community seems to have a love affair with material existence. Most scientists even regard consciousness as the product of the brain, having no existence except within the cranium of the individual. 

When someone mystically inclined, claims to experience consciousness in nature, science calls it “projection” - merely the imagination seeking evidence of a greater life, but in its zeal seeing only its own reflection. This is the conditioning of the scientific age in which we live. But in reality, nothing could be further from the Truth. For Truth, we must wander back in time ... thousands of years in fact.

The Sun is the center of our life. Within its gravity well, exist all of the patterns we know, all of the intelligence, all of the moving force and animating energies of every living thing. 

The planetary bodies surrounding the Sun in space, are the organs of its body, a body that extends out to the farthest reaches of the heliosphere. 

The space within its skin is filled with complex dynamics, both visible and invisible, and every one of these is reflected within the boundaries of our body, each of our organs corresponding to the planets. Microcosm and Macrocosm. As above, so below. One of the most ancient mantras. 

Where the scientist sees only rocks, ice, and gasses, the mystic sees intelligence, life, and consciousness. It is one thing to admit that all matter is vibrating energy; and it is quite another to acknowledge that the vibrations are the effect of a higher Source energy, one that is polar to its manifested form. 

This higher energy is deep and unknowable, beyond words, beyond concepts, and yet more powerful than all the rest combined. It is a negative power, one that pulls everything into being out of its own potential ... by the sheer force of its knowing. It is the Void. The unlimited potential of all things. 

Science admits that there is “something else,” ... something it cannot see. But in its insistence in making all new data fit into its limited model of materialism, it is blind to this underlying substance. 

Mystics have known it since the beginning of human awareness. They could discern the movements of its power by the nature of the energies induced within their own psyche. 

Their minds and bodies were their “scientific instruments" ... instruments far more sophisticated than the tools we use today, tools that only attempt to replicate the powers of detection we carry around with us right here inside our skin.

It is crucial that we understand the system within which we live within. If we do, we will know everything else by extension. “Man, know thyself.” The physical body of the Sun is but the first manifestation of the Whole of creation, the organizing principle, the Seat of Power. All things proceed out from the Center, and to the Center return. This is the secret of alchemy, the heart of Gnosis, the Philosopher’s Stone. We are all but rays of the Sun. Emanating from, and being dependent on. 

And God said, “Let there be Light!” This was the light of consciousness. The Christ consciousness. The Begotten of God/Source ... And this Source is within all.

HOW CHRIST COMES IN THE FLESH

2 John 1:7 - Those Who Deny Christ Came In The Flesh

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist” (2 John 1:7)

Based on this scripture, the typical argument states that John was aiming this scripture at the people who denied Jesus was resurrected in a physical body. 

Keep in mind that the writer of John, was a Gnostic. Most Gnostics did not view any of the scriptures literally ... they were allegorical and metaphorical. As such, John’s statement is in perfect agreement with what a Gnostic would have believed. 

To the Gnostics, the resurrection story of Christ wasn’t about the literal man; it was about the spiritual awakening of the divine nature that can happen within each individual. This awakening happens while still yet in the flesh. 

So John’s statement rings true after all. Christ does come in the flesh. But this coming of Christ is the gnosis (mystical insight) attained by the individual going through a profound experience in higher states of consciousness. 

This entire process happens while being in a physical body. It is the born again experience of the spiritual nature which rules over the physical nature. This spiritual nature is the Christ. This is the divine spark of God within every man. 

Remember the Apostle Paul attests to this when he states that he "travails in birth until Christ be formed in you." And that "you are the body of Christ." Jesus himself affirmed several times his position. At the Sermon On The Mount, he said "you are the light of the world" to his audience. He is also quoted as saying "you shall do greater things than I."

How would any of this be possible if Jesus (the man) was the one and only God in the flesh? Remember also, the church teaches the doctrine of "Original Sin" (which they created). If all people are born in sin, then so then would Jesus since the church teaches that he was fully man, and fully God. 

They try and wiggle around this HUGE problem with the "immaculate conception" meaning that his Mother Mary was without sin ... somehow bypassing the bloodline given of Adam by being impregnated by the Holy Spirit. Mary was an Almah in Hebrew, and in Greek a parthenos. Both of these words do not mean "virgin." They mean young maiden of marrying material. 

The virgin concept is Pagan and makes much more sense when it is properly understood. And that is, that the Christ (or Christ Consciousness), the Divine Spark of God, enters mankind for the first time having never before been incarnate as the seed of God in humanity. It has nothing to do with sex and the breaking of a hymen. 

Celestially, Virgo (the Virgin) carries a chaff of wheat. Wheat is used for bread. Bethlehem (Bethel-hem) means "the house of bread." I could go on and on but suffice it to say that there is much more spiritual Truth and symbolism beyond any literal of historical interpretation of the great ancient scriptures. One must dig. The Truth is hidden ... the pearl of great price hidden in a field. When something is uncovered, no longer hidden, revealed (revelation), we have an "apocalypse." The Apocalypse is not the end of the world ... it is a Greek word meaning to unveil ... to reveal that which is hidden. Seek and you shall find.
