While all people who study Kabbalah can be called students, at what point does
the study of Kabbalah bring about its intended results and objectives?
And just as important is the question: How can students of Kabbalah recognize the difference
between the opinion of a fellow student, and that sure position of a Master
Kabbalist? When rightly understood, Kabbalah is based upon the
statement of reality in the words: “For this
commandment which I command you this day, is not concealed from you, nor is it
far away. It is not in heaven, that you should say, who will go up
to heaven for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill
it. Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, who will cross to the other
side of the sea for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can
fulfill it. Rather, [this] thing is very close to you, it is in your mouth and
in your heart, so that you can fulfill it” (Deut. 30:11-14).
And a student of Kabbalah recognizes that what these words are stating is that
the Truth of Man and God lies within one's own Mind and Being -- and the true
purpose of Kabbalah is to enable the student to access this Source of Truth and
Knowledge that lies elusively beyond the grasp of most people.
During the Middle Ages when the Christian Church was holding inquisitions in order to
root out heresy and test the faith of the people, institutional anarchy was
paramount behind the scenes and within many of the monasteries and religious
communities. Something that is
not readily recognized today is the fact that during this period there was not
only collusion among the various mystical orders of Jews, Christians and Muslims
-- but that these groups of mystics often came together in their work to build
and restore communities of spiritually enlightened men and women who worked to
heal the masses who were disenfranchised and oppressed by the Church and quasi-secular
leaders who used religion as a catalyst to rule over the people.
What brought these mystics together for the common good? Unlike the
student, these mystics were the quintessential fruit of their respective
spiritual paths -- and as students who had brought about and manifested the very
purpose and objectives of the spiritual paths they had followed, they had become
enlightened and understood that except for the garb that enveloped each of the
respective paths, at the core of the respective religions there was no
difference between the Truths that the Common Source Revealed. At
their core, there is absolutely no difference between Judaism, Christianity and
Islam.
A genuine Kabbalist should be Enlightened -- i.e., Anointed (Messiah/Christ) by
that Power from God that enables spiritually mature man to comprehend the higher
reality of all things pertaining to this world and that of the Kingdom.
Therefore, a genuine Kabbalist must be able to not only properly interpret the
scriptures associated with Christianity -- but they should be enlightened enough
to teach the Christians the proper interpretation of both the Torah and their
own scriptures in order to bring about the higher objectives of the respective
scriptures.
One of the primary objectives of the historical
man Jesus and his disciples was to openly declare the teachings of TheWay that
is concealed within the allegorical garb of the Torah -- and to make known these
teachings at an elementary level that every person could understand.
It is declared at Jeremiah 31:31-34: “Behold, the days
are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their
fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of
Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the
Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write
it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no
longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the
Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,
declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their
sin no more.” Thus, in order to accomplish this
transition from what Moses declares to the the Old to the New, the Jews must
develop the ability to access and learn from the Law that is written upon their
hearts -- and when rightly understood, this is the purpose and objective of
Kabbalah which is the core essence of the Gospel teaching of the historical man
Jesus. @@@
In
many ways it can be said that the historical man Jesus and his disciples were
advocates who promoted universal freedom for all of mankind -- freedom from not
only the enslavement of the lost prodigal sons and daughters from the powers of
this world -- but just as important, they worked for the freedom of the people
from the spiritual quagmire of counterfeit religious leaders who promoted the
outward ritual observances of a Mystery Religion that did more to enslave and
constrain the people, than to spiritually nourish and sustain them.
And when rightly understood, this is exactly what is presented in
the rather profound statement:
"...woe to the man who regards that outer
garb as the Torah itself, for such a man
will be deprived of portion in the next
world"
(The Zohar; Edited by
Gershom G. Scholem, Zohar- The Book of
Splendor, Basic Readings from the Kabbalah
[New York, Schocken Books, 1949]).
Why? Because the True Torah is spiritual -- concealed within the
allegorical text that lies beyond the carnal vision of the Jews who remain of a
natural organic condition of mind and being. And when rightly
understood, the historical man Jesus affirmed this great truth that has been
repeated in the foregoing statement of the Zohar.
Why don't the vast majority of Jews and
those who align themselves with the various Messianic Jewish groups understand
this reality that the historical man Jesus merely confirmed what the Jewish
mystic authors of the Torah and scriptures knew all along? The vast
majority of Jews and Messianic Jews consider the mystical Judaism presented in
the Kabbalah to be witchcraft. Take note of the statement in The
Universal Jewish Encyclopedia under the heading of Souls, Transmigration of:
“The doctrine of
transmigration of souls, which was
especially accepted by the Karaites… is
generally attacked by Jewish philosophers..."
-- and it is these Jewish philosophers and mainstream rabbis who exert the
greatest influence over the majority of Jews. And in the same way
that the doctrine of the transmigration of souls is not only basic 101 for
beginning to understand elementary Kabbalah, so too is it elementary in the
process of acquiring the higher knowledge of the soul and the Kingdom of God.
And in rejecting this elementary teaching, the person has shackled themselves to
an immature and undeveloped condition of mind that inhibits the very purpose and
objectives of the Torah and related scriptures. And the fact that
the majority of Jews and Messianic Jews reject the elementary teachings of
Jewish Mysticism, means that it will be virtually impossible for them to even
begin to comprehend the purpose and teachings of the historical man Jesus who
attempted to free them from the quagmire of their mental and dogmatic dilemma
and self-imposed Spiritual Diaspora.
An Enlightened student of
Kabbalah must arrive at the understanding and knowledge that, because the Torah
and the Gospel teachings have the same exact objectives and higher purpose, both
could be embraced by the seeker who could achieve parallel results by embracing
either path. Thus, the man known as Peter the disciple of the historical
Jesus, is quoted in the Homilies of his own disciple Clement:
“For on this account Jesus is concealed
from the Jews, who have taken Moses as their teacher, and Moses is hidden from
those who have believed Jesus. For, there being one teaching by both, God
accepts him who has believed either of these"
(see Things Christians
Don't Tell Jews About The New Testament). And
that by divine design, both paths were to be preserved, can be seen in the fact
that the Laws (of God) inhibited the Jews from accepting Jesus, and the Gentiles
from accepting Moses, as presented in the words of Peter where he states:
“Neither, therefore, are the Hebrews
condemned on account of their ignorance of Jesus, by reason of Him who has
concealed Him, if, doing the things commanded by Moses, they do not hate Him
whom they do not know. Neither are those from among the Gentiles condemned, who
know not Moses on account of Him who hath concealed him, provided that these
also, doing the things spoken by Jesus, do not hate Him whom they do not know."
Why is either the Torah observant Jew and/or the
Gospel adherent disciple of TheWay both acceptable? The most
important aspect of the above statement by the man known as the Apostle Peter is
in the words with respect to the unity of the Torah and Gospels:
"Moreover, if any one has been thought worthy to recognize both as preaching one
doctrine, that man has been counted rich in God, understanding both the old
things as new in time, and the new things as old.” If
there were any students of Kabbalah -- or any genuine Kabbalistic rabbis -- then
they would know by virtue of their own spiritual experiences, that there is
absolutely no difference between the true meaning of the Torah and the Gospels
that have come to be associated with Christianity. When
the scriptures are properly used as the Key Of Knowledge, beneath the
allegorical cloak both the Torah and Gospels not only possess the same exact
meaning, but fulfill the same exact objectives. When the
seeker/disciple strives to become the embodiment of Spiritual Israel by
transforming themselves into the necessary Living Consecrated Temple that is
made without the Hands of Men -- fulfilling the Law within themselves -- then
they are able to begin to fulfill the objective of becoming the High Priest --
which enables them to enter the Holy of Holies and dwell in the Promised Land
with the Lord.
As portrayed in the Torah, it is the Law of Moses
turned within one's own mind and being that transforms the body-vessel into the
Living Consecrated Temple. And in the same way that Moses (the Law)
could not take the Children of Israel across the Jordan -- and they had to be
led by Joshua (Yeshua/Jesus) -- what is portrayed in the Name Joshua/Yeshua/Jesus
is a Condition of Mind that enables the seeker/disciple to enter through the
Inner Holy of Holies and into the Promised Land/Kingdom within.
Thus, the greater part of the Gospels is an allegorical portrayal of embracing
the Highest Mitzvah which is the works of transforming the body into the
necessary Living Final Temple. And in the same way that only
Joshua (Yeshua/Jesus) could lead the Children of Israel into the Promised Land,
only by achieving that Condition of Mind portrayed in the meaning of Joshua/Yeshua/Jesus,
can the seeker/disciple enter the Promised Land/Kingdom that is within and not
of this world.

The Objective Of Kabbalah:
The primary
difference between Judaism and the original
teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay which
is known today as Christianity,
is seen in the reality that the Gospel
teachings were brought into existence to
free the people from the constraints of a
Mystery Religion that inhibited the seekers
from fulfilling their Destiny and Fulfilling
the Higher Purpose of the Divine Design of
Creation. Where the Torah and
related Jewish scriptures are representative
of an allegorical portrayal of the Journey
of the Soul, the Gospels in their original
forum, went to the very core and essence of
the Journey in its teachings that conveyed
to the seeker/disciple the path that must be
traveled in order to connect the person we
are in this world, with that Inner Reality
of the Divine that is portrayed in the words
of the
Zohar as
"...the germ of which is planted in them".
And in the Gospel teachings on the Key of
Knowledge we can see and understand the
primary difference between the teachings of
a Mystery Religion such as Judaism, and the
system that was intended to free the people
from the Mystery Religion environment which
has become known as the Gospel teachings of
TheWay.
In the same
way that the Zohar reveals the existence of
what is portrayed as
"...the germ [of the Divine] which is
planted"
within the mind and being of each of
mankind, the Gospel account of Yeshua/Jesus
declares to the leaders of the Jews that the
Kingdom will never come upon the earth in
the manner that they look for it, because it
is within them -- i.e.,
"And when he was
demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom
of God should come, he answered them and
said, The kingdom of God comes not with
observation: Neither shall they say, See
here! or, see there! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you"
(Luke 17:20-21). If the words of Jesus are
true -- and the Kingdom is within you --
then the question that Christians should be
asking, is how must the Kingdom be
entered? The answer is the proper
application of the Key of Knowledge by
turning the scriptures within your own mind
and being -- i.e.,
"How terrible it will be for you experts in
religious law! For you hide the key to
knowledge from the people. You don't enter
the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent
others from entering" (Luke
11:52). Thus, in understanding these words
spoken to the Pharisees, the questions must
be asked: How did the Pharisees and Jewish
authorities
"...hide the key to knowledge from the
people"? Why did Jesus condemn
the leaders of the Jews for failing to enter
the Kingdom themselves? -- i.e.,
"...You don't enter
the Kingdom yourselves"! And
how did the religious leaders of the Jews
"...prevent others
from entering?" That the
primary objective of the Gospel is to
prepare and enable the seeker/disciple to
enter the Kingdom, is further demonstrated
in Jesus' condemnation of the blind
religious leaders as seen in the words:
"Woe to you,
teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven
in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter,
nor will you let those enter who are trying
to" (Matt 23:13 NIV). Which
means that the Kingdom of God is not
something that will come if we wait for it
-- but rather, it is a reality which man
must seek and find -- within himself.
In the Bible
translation known as The Message, the above
reality of Jesus' words with respect to the
usage of the Key of Knowledge is portrayed
in true clarity. In this translation when
Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to
believe in him and said: "If
you stick with this, living out what I tell
you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you
will experience for yourselves the truth,
and the truth will free you" (John
8:31-32 TheMessage) -- and once again,
neither Christian or Jew who have thrown
away the Key of Knowledge can understand
these words which are of the utmost
importance. Jesus didn't say that they
would believe the truth -- or that they
would discern what they believed would be
dogmatic truth out of the scriptures or some
book written by other men -- but rather,
Jesus conveyed to them that if they follow
in TheWay, that they "...will
experience for yourselves the truth, ...and
it is this SELF-EXPERIENCED TRUTH
that...will free you" from the
error and ignorance that consumes the people
of this world -- and especially the blind
guides who portray themselves as rabbis,
teachers, clergy, religious leaders and
authorities.
Taking the
above one step further, I fully realize that
many Bible translations simply refuse to
interpret Luke 17:21 correctly. In
analysis of this great biblical controversy,
Robertson’s Word Pictures of the New
Testament writes:
“What Jesus says to the Pharisees is that
they, as others, are to look for the kingdom
of God within themselves, not in outward
displays and supernatural manifestations. It
is not a localized display ‘Here’ or
‘There.’ It is in this sense that in Luke
11:20 Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God as
‘come upon you,’ speaking to Pharisees”.
The article then goes on to add that the
only other instance of the Greek word
“entos”
being used in the New Testament, is at
Matthew 23:26, where the Pharisees are told
to clean “the
inside of the cup”. Moreover,
the Wescott and Hort Greek text, as well as
most other authorities, render the
translation of this word:
“inside of you is”.
Which means that the original teachings of
TheWay was a system whereby the
seeker/disciple takes the yoke of
Messiah/Christ upon themselves -- picking up
their own cross and travailing in TheWay --
which enables the disciple to enter through
the "narrow gate"
and dwell in the Kingdom, while still
physically alive in the body -- overcoming
the division of heaven and earth within the
person -- i.e., the Lord commanded his
followers to "Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the
gate and broad is the road that leads to
destruction, and many enter through it. But
small is the gate and narrow the road that
leads to life, and only a few find it"
(Matt 7:13-14 NIV). Because the Church
threw away the Key of Knowledge, and adopted
pagan dogmatic doctrines of belief, the
Christian world sits idly complacent on the
side of the
"broad-way ...that leads to destruction"
-- giving lip service and worshiping their
brother, that they must themselves imitate,
in order to enter into Life. And it was
for this reason that the Adam Clark
Commentary stated that if the original
Gospel portrayal of the historical man Jesus
was correct, that
"...the whole
Christian system is vain and baseless"!!!
(see
The Ten Words).
Inner Worlds
And Realms Of Mind And Being: The question
was asked of Rabbi Menachem Posner as to
How Humans Can Claim To Possess The
Knowledge Of Other Worlds?
To which Rabbi Posner replied:
"Well,
the spiritual worlds are not a far-off
location—by definition, a spiritual entity
cannot be ascribed a “location”—but a deeper
reality existing parallel to ours. Most of
us cannot relate to this reality while still
enclothed in a physical body which filters
out all but that which can be sensed with
the five senses. Most of us wait until the
time when our soul is unencumbered by the
body before experiencing the “other worlds.”
But some people are sensitive to that
reality. They have refined themselves and
connected to G‑d, so much that their soul
shines. Sometimes we call them prophets.
Sometimes we call them rebbes. The point
remains the same; they are sensitive to
realms that we can only imagine (or study)
about. A blind person can’t visualize
the vivid colors depicted by a sighted
person. But he still relies on him to guide
him through a busy intersection. We also
rely on those who can see the spiritual side
of things to help us through the maze we
call reality."
Quoting from
Kabbalah On Judaism And Reincarnation:
"The Torah,
however, is a multi-layered document. Many
of its deeper levels of interpretation are
not readily accessible; and they may not
lend themselves to obvious, practical
application in daily life. As such, these
more esoteric aspects of Torah are not of
interest to significant segments of the
Jewish population, including some rabbis and
scholars.
Consequently, many
Jews are surprised to learn, or may even
wish to deny, that reincarnation - the
"revolving" of souls through a succession of
lives, or "gilgulim" - is an integral part
of Jewish belief. But this teaching has
always been around. And it is firmly rooted
in source-verses.
Examples abound. Ramban, one of the greatest
commentators on the Torah (and on the
Talmud), and a seminal figure in Jewish
history, hints several times that
reincarnation is the key to penetrating the
deep mysteries involved in the mitzvah of
yibum (the obligation of the brother of a
childless, deceased man to marry the widow).
In his explanation of Gen 38:8, he insists
that Yehudah and his sons were aware of the
secret of reincarnation, and that this was a
major factor in their respective attitudes
towards Tamar."
The means by which a seeker/disciple
acquires the wisdom and esoteric knowledge
that is portrayed in the words:
"The
Torah, however, is a multi-layered document.
Many of its deeper levels of interpretation
are not readily accessible; and they may not
lend themselves to obvious, practical
application in daily life..."
is in the proper application of the
scriptures as the
Key Of Knowledge. And what
this means is that, no longer is the
scriptures perceived as historical accounts
that are external to one's own mind and
being -- but rather, must be understood as a
picture and image of the Forces and Laws of
Consciousness of one's own mind -- or, as
portrayed at
SoulSelf.org, the Cosmology of the
seeker/disciples own Mind and Being.
At the foregoing portrayal of the Torah (see
Kabbalah On Judaism And Reincarnation)
it is also written:
"The root of the word "Torah" is the verb
"to instruct". Torah's primary function is
to teach us how to live Jewishly, in harmony
with G-d's will. As such, the basic levels
of scriptural interpretation lead to a
practical understanding of mitzvot and
related Jewish values" -- and
when rightly understood, the Torah and
scriptures must come to be understood as
being a Text Book that reveals the Pattern
and Reality of all of Creation from a
holographic perspective of the Macrocosm and
man as the microcosm. What this
means is that if we come to understand the
Pattern of the Laws and Forces which are
active in the outer world of Creation -- and
then understand that what we see externally
is a pattern of our own inner reality of
mind and being -- then we can not only begin
to utilize the images of Creation in the
outer world as catalysts to access the inner
forces of our own mind and being -- but we
can then use the scriptures to prevail over
self. And this is why the
Gospel of Thomas declares:
"Recognize what is
in your sight, and that which is hidden from
you will become plain to you . For there is
nothing hidden which will not become
manifest." In the
same way that it is presented in the above
that
"The
Torah, however, is a multi-layered document.
Many of its deeper levels of interpretation
are not readily accessible; and they may not
lend themselves to obvious, practical
application in daily life..."
-- this is in like manner holographically
true of the multi-layered levels of
consciousness within our own mind and being.
Further, in the same way that it states in
the above that
"...these more esoteric aspects of Torah
are not of interest to significant segments
of the Jewish population, including some
rabbis and scholars"
-- this is also true with respect to the
vast majority of religious leaders, rabbis
and scholars who have not dedicated their
lives to the pursuit of the exploration of
the inner levels and realms of Mind and
Being that the application of the scriptures
as
Key Of Knowledge
has the potential to reveal to the Mystic
who seeks out the Core and Source of his
Inner Reality of the Soul.
The Final
Temple - Using The Key Of Knowledge:
What is perfectly clear from the above
statement with respect to the Inner Kingdom
and the application of the scriptures as the
Key Of Knowledge that Jesus made
to the Pharisees is this: That while they
(the Pharisees) were in possession of what
Jesus portrayed as the
Key of Knowledge, their heresy was seen
in the fact that they failed to properly
utilize what Jesus portrayed as the Key for
its intended purpose -- which was to reveal
the true spiritual meaning of the
scriptures, which then enabled the
seeker/disciple the ability to unlock the
(inner) door ("narrow
strait gate"), and enter into the
Kingdom that Jesus confirmed the position of
the Zohar which declared existed as a Divine
"germ"
within the mind of each person. But the
problem was seen in the fact that the
leaders of the Jews -- like the modern
Christians -- ignored Jesus' statement (
http://GateOfEden.com ) that the Kingdom
would never come upon the earth in the
manner that carnal men look for it --
because the Kingdom was within them (Luke
17:20-21). Therefore, Jesus correctly
portrayed the leaders of the Jews as blind
guides who hindered the people's entrance
into the Kingdom -- because the leaders
among the Jews interpreted the scriptures
outwardly in ritual and tradition --
promoting the scriptures as historical
accounts, versus spiritual accounts. And
that they failed to turn the scriptures
within self -- properly utilizing the Key of
Knowledge to unlock the door to the Kingdom
Within -- is in fact why Jesus condemned the
Pharisees for cleansing the outside of the
cup, while ignoring the inside.
That
the
scriptures must be turned within, is the
reason why Jesus condemned the whole system
of animal sacrifice in a temple made with
the hands of men -- i.e.,
"...the Most High
does not dwell in temples made with hands"
(Acts 7:48) -- "Do
you not know that you are the temple of God
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?"
(1 Cor 3:16 NKJV). And this is
demonstrated in the AskMoses.com account of
the
Final Temple -- i.e., (quoting
AskMoses.com directly)
"With the destruction, G-d destroyed the
physical Temple and made it a spiritual
place... We cannot find G-d in Jerusalem; we
must find Him in us. With the destruction,
G-d destroyed the physical Temple and made
it a spiritual place. He took that window
and placed it within us. Instead of
traveling to Jerusalem, G-d wanted us to
find Him in our inner Jerusalem. Now, our
bodies are our Temples, our souls are our
windows, our minds are our Kohanim and our
animal instincts are our sacrifices. We
cannot offer physical sacrifices three times
a day, but we can pray three times a day. We
cannot attend Temple services three times a
day, but we can tap into our souls three
times a day. We cannot atone for our
shortcomings by sacrificing animals, but we
can sacrifice our inner animals—our
hormones, our lusts, our desires, our
beastly compulsions. We cannot find G-d in
Jerusalem; we must find Him in us."
And thus, when the scriptures are properly
understood in their spiritual meaning, they
are an allegorical presentation that
contains within the body of the text the
esoteric knowledge that is necessary to
build the
Final Living Temple within one's self.
Why do men of a
carnal mindset imagine that they can obtain
forgiveness through animal sacrifice?
Because their carnal mindset causes them to
perceive and project their inner realty
outwardly in ritual and tradition.
And as stated in the above, the mystic comes
to recognize that he
"...cannot atone for [his] shortcomings
by sacrificing animals"
on the altar of an external temple made with
the hands of men, and in the esoteric
revelation he comes to recognize that
"...we can [only] sacrifice our
inner animals—our hormones, our lusts, our
desires, our beastly compulsions". --
and it is these beastly
compulsions of our lower animal natures that
alienates us from becoming the
Final Temple -- and as the High
Priest of the Living and Consecrated Temple,
entering within the Holy of Holies and
achieving Oneness with the inner Source of
our Being -- as stated in the Zohar:
"...The souls must re-enter the absolute
substance whence they have emerged. But to
accomplish this end they must develop all
the perfections, the germ of which is
planted in them; and if they have not
fulfilled this condition during one life,
they must commence another, a third, and so
forth, until they have acquired the
condition which fits them for reunion with
God”.
Allegorically,
each of us must free ourselves from the
House of Bondage (Egyptians) -- travail
through the wilderness of carnal
consciousness -- and receive the Living
Torah on the Mount of Higher Being.
Thus, Moses is representative of the Laws
and Forces of Mind that each of us must
overcome in making this inner journey.
And in the same way that Moses could not
lead the Children of Israel across the
Jordan -- and this could only be
accomplished by Joshua/Yeshua -- the
original Gospel account requires that each
of us become all that is portrayed in the
vibration and reality of the name Yeshua --
which was paganized by the Romans into the
name of Jesus (Zeus/Ishtar). And
in the same way that it is stated in the
above that the
"Torah's primary function is to teach us
how to live Jewishly, in harmony with G-d's
will. As such, the basic levels of
scriptural interpretation lead to a
practical understanding of mitzvot and
related Jewish values" -- this
spiritual mindset and lifestyle is the main
and primary focus of the teaching of what is
known as the Sermon on the Mount.
The Preservation Of Torah And Other
Scriptures:
To many people today, the Torah would appear
to be outdated and no longer relevant.
And yet, when the enigmas of life are
correctly understood, nothing could be
further from the truth.
But to even begin to understand why I can
make this statement, it must be recognized
that it is not the purpose and objective of
the Torah and other scriptures to teach or
disseminate truth -- but rather, to convey
and enlightened the seeker/disciple how to
tap into the Source of all Truth.
Therefore it can also be stated that a
person could attend the finest universities
the world over -- learning from the most
knowing of teachers and authorities that our
culture has produced -- research all the
countless books containing the accumulative
wisdom of mankind -- and the end result
would be the continuation of that condition
of profound ignorance that has perpetually
enslaved mankind with respect to the most
important knowledge known to man.
Why? Because the knowledge that
is contained within the body of the text of
the Torah and other scriptures, exists
nowhere else!!! It remains
unknown to mankind's most esteemed educators
and teachers. It's higher wisdom
can't be researched in any of man's books.
There is no libraries where a seeker can go
and study in the traditional manner that man
has become accustomed to learning.
And if asked how I can make such a profound
statement: Because the wisdom of the Torah
and other scriptures deals exclusively with
the great void in human consciousness that
inhibits his ability to tap into the
Ultimate Source of Knowledge that elusively
evades the vast majority of intellectuals,
teachers and philosophers.
The
problem that has always confronted mankind
in his journey in pursuit of Truth cannot be
resolved through the process of merely
reading of the literal text of the Torah --
because the very nature of the scriptures
insures that
can
produce an enlightened seeker -- but rather,
by learning the language of the Torah, you
will begin to learn the Language of Creation
itself. And by learning how to
strip away the facade of allegory with which
the UnSeen Spiritual Torah protectively lies
beneath the garb of the text of the written
word -- i.e., quoting the Zohar:
"The narratives of
the doctrine are its cloak. The simple look
only on the garment, that is upon the
narrative of the doctrine; more they know
not. The instructed, however, see not merely
the cloak, but what the cloak covers"
-- you will begin to pierce beneath the garb
of human consciousness, and begin to tap
into the Source of Truth that exists within
the mind and being of mankind.
thus the reality of the words:
"Thus the tales
related in the Torah are simply her outer
garments, and woe to the man who regards
that outer garb as the Torah itself, for
such a man will be deprived of portion in
the next world..." (The Zohar;
Edited by Gershom G. Scholem, Zohar- The
Book of Splendor, Basic Readings from the
Kabbalah [New York, Schocken Books, 1949]).
And in reference to this body of knowledge
that is contained within the inner meaning
of the Torah and other scriptures, the
Gospel of Thomas warns:
"But if you will
not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty
and it is you who are that
poverty... Whoever finds himself is superior
to the world".
And when rightly understood -- i.e.,
"The
Torah, however, is a multi-layered document.
Many of its deeper levels of interpretation
are not readily accessible; and they may not
lend themselves to obvious, practical
application in daily life..."
-- the Torah and other scriptures deal
exclusively with the Forces, Laws and Inner
Dimensions and Realities of Being as
portrayed in the pattern of one's Cosmology
of Mind. And not only does
this essential body of esoteric knowledge
exist no where else, but it's reality is not
even understood by today's educational
authorities.
In many respects
mankind has yet to free himself from the
Dark Ages of unknowing that has shackled him
to a
profound state of ignorance.
While Wisdom conveys to us that there
is "nothing new
under the sun" (Ecc 1:9), the
technological revolution that our culture
has undergone has very much changed the
circumstances under which man now finds
himself. What this means is that while
ordinary men and woman in the past had an
excuse for their undeveloped condition of
mind that anchored them to a very limited
carnal perspective and vision of life, the
findings of modern quantum physics had
completely changed the condition of carnal
ignorance that mankind has traditionally
found himself immersed in. And what the
modern physicist has proven, is that the
long-disregarded witness of the mystic is
correct -- and that this world is not at all
what it appears to be on the surface. In
fact, the physicist has confirmed the
assertion of the mystic that what is seen
with our physical eyes is an illusion, and
what the physicist portrays as the (Etheric)
Field that is unseen with our physical eyes
and senses, is the true reality which we
must seek out to find the true meaning and
answers to life.
Einstein
made one of the most important
observations that modern intellectuals
neither understand, nor can they in any
manner even begin to come to terms with
-- largely because of their politically
correct cultural philosophy and their
ignorance of the Laws. Einstein
stated: "The
intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the
rational mind is a faithful servant. We
have created a society that honors the
servant and has forgotten the gift."
When properly and factually understood,
there is absolutely no difference
between the findings of the enlightened
scientist, the Apostle Paul who
instructed the Gentile Christians, and
the enlightened Mystic who authored the
scriptures -- except, perhaps, the key
word
enlightened. But herein
lies the crux of the problem -- i.e.,
the very word enlightened raises the
crucial question as to how one even
becomes enlightened? Does one go to a
traditional school environment that
suppresses what Einstein portrays as the
forgotten intuitive gift -- while
programming the rational servant with
what often amounts to little more than
cultural and politically correct
propaganda? In his own words he
acknowledged that
“The only thing that interferes with
my learning is my education.”
In fact, what Einstein portrays as the
rational servant does not even possess
the necessary insight to understand both
the reality of the intuitive gift, or
the Great Source of Knowledge that the
undeveloped intuitive resources of the
mind of man has the innate potential of
tapping into -- which prompted Einstein
to acknowledge that
“We can't solve
problems by using the same kind of
thinking we used when we created them.”
With great
wisdom and vision Einstein stated
"Only those
who can see the invisible can do the
impossible." But since the
vast majority of modern scientists
reject even the existence of the
invisible, it is the scientific
community that has rendered itself
impotent with respect to any real depth
of perception and understanding. Paul
conveyed the exact same message to the
congregation of believers that Einstein
stated in the words: "While
we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not
seen: for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18
KJV). And when this reality is
understood for what it truly is, only
then is the words of the recently
discovered
Gospel of Thomas comprehended where
it is written:
(5) Jesus said,
"Recognize what is in your sight, and
that which is hidden from you will
become plain to you ..."
And while only a handful of people
have evolved their intuitive centers of
mind sufficiently enough to perceive and
understand from the higher reality of an
enlightened mind, this potential of man
that is portrayed as a gift, is indeed
the long ignored wisdom expressed by
both Einstein, the Apostle Paul, and the
biblical authors.
Both of
these statements which are ignored by
the vast majority of scientists and
their religious counterparts, ignore the
underlying reality that not only does
the unseen dimension of what we see
exist, but that it is within the scope
of man's innate abilities to develop
this facility of mind that enables the
individual to perceive an unseen reality
that is beyond the limits of man's
undeveloped physical organic senses.
And with respect to the invisible, when
it is understood that what is being made
reference to is a blindness that
encompasses all of mankind in a
condition that Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being
(see
Outer Darkness) -- which is parallel
to the analogy of the illusions of
Plato's Cave that has entrapped
mankind in a world that he does not
understand the nature and reality of,
then the reality of these words spoken
by both the scientist and the mystic
becomes an obstacle that is imperative
to overcome and prevail over its
limitations.
The vast
difference between what would be called
the knowledge of man, and the higher
spiritual reality portrayed in the
Knowledge that is defined as Gnosis, has
begun to be demonstrated by the modern
scientific community. Quoting
physicist Walter Thirring
in his book,
Urbausteine der Materie where he
wrote about matter that modern physics
“...has put our
thinking about the essence of matter in
a different context. It has taken our
gaze from the visible - the particles -
to the underlying entity, the field.
The presence of matter is merely a
disturbance of the perfect state of the
field at that place; something
accidental, one could almost say, a
‘blemish’. Accordingly, there are no
simple laws describing the forces
between elementary particles… Order and
symmetry must be sought in the
underlying field.” One of
the primary realities that science has
to come to terms with in order to
advance beyond their present level, is
the fact that physical matter is the
result of the forces in the Etheric
Field coming together, causing what
Walter Thirring above describes as a
"blemish"
that we observe with our organic
physical senses. And what this is, is
Darwinism in reverse -- i.e., modern
science has proven that the Field which
is unseen and surrounds all matter, is
the Source which impresses the aspect of
mind and consciousness which is
represented in the form of matter that
we observe. The problem is that to the
organic mind of both the faith-based
believer, as well as the Atheist, what
modern science has proven is simply
beyond their ability to even
contemplate.
What man
calls knowledge, is the wisdom and
understanding gained through his study
of what Walter Thirring called the
"blemish" -- i.e., the
illusion of what we perceive as physical
matter. Yet, without understanding
the underlying forces in the Field that
formed the blemish that organic man
observes as concrete physical matter, it
can be stated that what we observe in
the physical world is so incomplete,
that it would be virtually impossible to
truly understand what we think and
imagine we see. Reality, states the
physicist, can only be found in the (Etheric)
Field -- and it is the Field that both
surrounds all physical forms that we
observe with our body-senses, and it is
the unseen Field that is the source of
what we perceive with our physical
senses which we call matter. Which
again, is reverse Darwinism -- in that,
Darwinism attempted to demonstrate that
this physical world came into being
apart from any unseen supernatural
forces -- and modern science has now
proven that this world is the direct
result of unseen forces that would be
defined as supernatural, or beyond what
is seen with the physical senses.
In defense of
Darwin, it must be understood
that in the same way that many unsolved
crimes in the past are presently
resolved through DNA, Darwin lived in
the nineteenth century -- long before
the most enlightening discoveries of
modern quantum physics. And in
recognition of this fact, Darwin himself
questioned the inadequacy of his own
conclusions. In the words of Niles
Eldredge of the American Museum of
Natural History:
“The old explanation that the fossil
record was inadequate is in itself an
inadequate explanation.”
Why? The fossil record is inadequate
because everything that we see and
perceive in this realm is directly
caused by patterns of force being
exerted upon matter from beyond the
bounds of this three-dimensional world
in which we presently dwell. And the
fact that the fossil record failed to
support Darwin's conclusions, is openly
acknowledged in his own words where he
wrote: "Why
then is not every geological formation
and every stratum full of such
intermediate links? Geology assuredly
does not reveal any such finely
graduated organic chain, and this,
perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest
objection which can be urged against my
theory" (Charles Darwin, On
The Origin Of Species). According to
Darwin's theory, the geological record
should be full of species that are
slowly increasing in complexity over
time. Since evolution relies on time,
chance, and incremental steps, sudden
leaps are not possible -- which
demonstrates that the fossil record
itself directly contradicts the theory
of evolution! And even if a proverbial
missing link could be found, this would
not in any manner negate the fact that
it is the forces in the Etheric Field
that has brought about all changes and
variations of life-forms that we observe
in the physical world.
Einstein
experienced shock when he first came
into contact with the new reality of
atomic physics, and wrote in his
autobiography:
“All my attempts to adapt the
theoretical foundation of physics to
this [new type of] knowledge failed
completely. It was as if the ground had
been pulled out from under one, with no
firm foundation to be seen anywhere,
upon which one could have built”.
In much the same fashion, the European
physicist Niels Bohr stated that
“…The great
extension of our experience in recent
years has brought to light the
insufficiency of our simple mechanical
conceptions and, as a consequence, has
shaken the foundation on which the
customary interpretation of observation
was based.” These
“…mechanical
conceptions” make reference
to Darwin and the theory of evolution.
In the same
way that Peter warned that organic man
only sees in the scriptures what he is
predisposed to already believe, it is
also true that man perceives all of
Creation through the filter of his
beliefs about life. The believer is in
no manner dependent upon facts, and no
amount of facts can deter the unbeliever
-- i.e., most of mankind is totally
predisposed to see only what they
already believe to be true. And while
many will become both offended and
simply dismiss the statement of the
Apostle Peter in the Homilies that men
see and understand only what they are
programmed to perceive by virtue of the
filter of their beliefs -- or, the
Organic Laws of the earth that
predisposes them to a specific
preordained opinion -- the text of
Itzhak Bentov’s book itself reveals
that: “The
quantum theory asserts that there is no
way one can measure some sets of things,
like momentum and position, together
very accurately... because the
consciousness of the experimenter
interacts with the experiment itself.
Therefore, it becomes possible that the
attitude of the experimenter must also
influence the outcome of any particular
experiment” (Preface to
Stalking The Wild Pendulum, by Itzhak
Bentov). Thus, we begin to contemplate
the interrelatedness of mind and matter
and the fact that our whole politically
correct culture has become an obstacle
to the advancement of mankind. And
since the vast majority of religious
doctrines of belief are merely what was
deemed politically correct in past
cultures, few people are even capable of
seeing beyond the limits of the facade
of their predisposed beliefs. In the
very narrow linear perception of the “fossilized”
world-view that is taught in science
class in our schools today, the idea
that the mind of the experimenter can
impact the results of the experiment
itself, is simply beyond the scope of
man's cultural understanding.
If, as
presupposed by the science of man's
past, everything man sees is a detached,
stand-alone, separate inanimate object,
then genuinely intelligent men must
recognize that in his present cultural
world view, there is a great void in
their understanding that inhibits them
from even contemplating how the mind of
a person can affect the outcome of a
given experiment? And thus, what the
Apostle Peter warns with respect to his
statement that each person who reads the
scriptures only sees what he he
predisposed to see, modern quantum
mechanics has gone beyond this fact, and
proven that the mindset and thinking of
a scientific investigator, can somehow
impact his findings and results. Not
only does this throw all of man's
analytical conclusions into question,
but it must be realized that even the
findings of Darwin was subject to the
filter of his Unitarian mindset and
beliefs. Moreover, this resolves the
dilemma of why different men see and
understand the same thing not only
differently, but often from an opposite
and conflicting perspective. Which one
is wrong? What if each is seeing a
fragmentary truth -- and while neither
is all wrong, there is still a greater
reality that is beyond the comprehension
of both conflicting viewpoints.
That there
is an unseen connection between mind and
matter, and man is able to consciously
and unconsciously effect what we
perceive as inanimate objects with his
own patterns of thought, means that our
present-day cultural and
quasi-scientific perception of Creation
itself is defective. Moreover, when we
attempt to interpret the scriptures
through the filter of our flawed vision
and predisposed inherent understanding,
it is impossible for us to even begin to
perceive the true depth and revelation
of the Word of God! The problem is
that we can never start to embrace man’s
true reality, until we begin to
acknowledge and recognize that what we
see is only a fragment of the whole
picture of any given object -- and this
is true not only from a religious
doctrinal perspective, but a scientific
one as well.
Robert
Jastrow, an astrophysicist who heads
NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space
Studies, pointed out that the big bang
is not exactly an explanation of cause.
He is quoted in The Aquarian Conspiracy:
“If a scientist
really examines the implications, he
would be traumatized. As usual, when the
mind is faced with trauma, it reacts by
ignoring the implications - in science
this is called ‘refusing to speculate’ -
or by trivializing the origin of the
world by calling it the Big Bang, as if
the universe were merely a firecracker”.
Mr. Jastrow then continues and states:
“Consider the
enormousness of the problem: Science has
proved that the universe exploded into
being at a certain moment. It asks, what
cause produced this effect? Who or what
put the matter and energy into the
universe? Was the universe created out
of nothing or was it gathered together
out of pre-existing materials? And
science cannot answer these questions...
It is not a matter of another year,
another decade of work, another
measurement, or another theory. At this
moment it seems as though science will
never be able to raise the curtain on
the mystery of creation”.
In the
realization that traditional scientific
inquiry can never provide the answers to
life, thoughtful physicists in greater
number have begun to notice the curious
parallels between their own findings and
ancient mystical descriptions of reality
-- mystical descriptions that have been
totally dismissed by our modern
culture. These similarities were
pointed out in the book, The Tao Of
Physics, by Fritjof Capra, and The
Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav.
Zukav’s book takes its title from the
Chinese expression for physics, wu li,
which he translates as
“patterns of
organic energy”, and writes:
“Bell’s theorem
not only suggests that the world is
quite different than it seems, it
demands it. Something very exciting is
happening. Physicists have ‘proved’
rationally that our rational ideas about
the world in which we live are
profoundly deficient”.
Bell’s
theorem, which was proposed in 1964 by
J.S. Bell, a physicist working in
Switzerland, was first confirmed
experimentally in 1972. Physicist Henry
Stapp, in a 1975 federal report called
it the most
“profound discovery of science”.
Bell’s theorem succeeds in exhibiting
the bizarre nature of the subatomic
world. Experiments show that if paired
particles which are identical twins in
their polarity fly apart, and the
polarity of one is changed by an
experimenter, the polarity of the other
particle changes instantaneously. Thus,
even though from a physical perspective
the two particles appear to us as
separate, it has been proven that the
particles remain mysteriously connected
regardless of the fact that there is no
physical connection.
The
esoteric reality that was proven and
demonstrated in this experiment was
portrayed as the most
“profound
discovery of science”,
because it virtually proves everything
that science presents in the classrooms
throughout our educational systems today
as being in profound error! Moreover
-- and perhaps even more important -- is
the fact that because we culturally
build the child's thinking and mindset
upon a fraudulent foundation, we inhibit
their evolving minds from moving beyond
a very counterfeit point in their
perception of both themselves, and the
world in which they presently dwell.
Further, the only explanation that the
flat-earth scientists who remain in
denial of the implications refuse to
acknowledge, is that the particles are
connected in another non-physical
dimension that is beyond man's organic
vision to detect -- i.e., what in the
above is portrayed as the Field. In
the words of Einstein:
“We may
therefore regard matter as being
constituted by the regions of space in
which the field is extremely intense…
There is no place in this new kind of
physics both for the field and matter,
for the field is the only reality”
(quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical
Impact of Contemporary Physics). What
this confirms is that reality is in the
Field that is beyond the organic vision
and senses of man -- and the physical
world we perceive and interact with, is
not only a result of this higher reality
that we can't see with our physical
eyes, but in many instances is an
illusion that is controlled by our
predisposed beliefs and philosophical
opinions. Moreover, what this further
confirms is that the Darwinist mindset
that is presently taught in our schools
is not only gravely wrong, but the error
which our educational systems is
programming young school children with,
represents a vision and thought pattern
that will inhibit them from
understanding man's own higher reality
that is manifest in the Field -- or the
Etheric realms that the organic senses
of the body cannot normally detect.
And herein lies the crux of the problem
as seen in the example of our
educational systems which will promote
grave error -- as seen in the fact that
they present a totally false picture of
both themselves, and the world --
totally failing to convey to the
students that it has already been proven
that the mind of man in it’s natural
organic state is simply incapable of
perceiving the far-reaching
ramifications of man's higher reality of
mind that is centered in the Etheric
Field -- and even less prepared to
comprehend the results of the
intertwining connections that are
maintained not only between individuals
and groups of people, but between the
past, the present, and future. What is
portrayed in the above is merely science
beginning to crack open the door to
man's own higher reality -- a reality
that he can only begin to grasp, by
discarding almost everything that he
presently thinks he knows.
The
Cruel Hoax: While it has been
proven that the source of matter is in
the Etheric Field beyond our organic
vision -- and that in the subatomic
world, what appears to our senses is
connected in a dimension that we can't
see with our organic vision -- the fact
that we continue to program and imbue
our school children with this gravely
flawed mindset that modern quantum
physics has proven to be little more
than junk science -- means that we are
predetermining the child's failure to
make any real progress in this life.
And that our modern culture is
predetermining the failure of the child,
is the reason why in many of my writings
I portray this process which we call
education, as the (spiritual) abortion
of those children who escape the
abortionist who tears the fetus from
it's mother's womb.

The
Allusion Of The Forms Of Matter:
In
his 1951 textbook on quantum theory,
Bohm offered some interesting
speculations on the analogies between
quantum processes and thought processes,
thus carrying further the celebrated
statement made by the astronomer James
Jeans two decades earlier:
“Today there is
a wide measure of agreement… that the
stream of knowledge is heading towards a
non-mechanical reality; the universe
begins to look more like a great thought
than like a great machine”;
and the statement by astronomer Arthur
Eddington:
“The stuff of the
universe is mind-stuff”.
Max Planck who is considered the
founder of quantum theory stated:
"As a man who
has devoted his whole life to the most
clear headed science, to the study of
matter, I can tell you as a result of my
research about atoms this much: There is
no matter as such. All matter originates
and exists only by virtue of a force
which brings the particle of an atom to
vibration and holds this most minute
solar system of the atom together. We
must assume behind this force the
existence of a conscious and intelligent
mind. This mind is the matrix of all
matter."
More recently,
cyberneticist David Foster described
“an
intelligent universe”
whose apparent
concreteness is generated by cosmic data
from an unknowable, organized source.
The reality of the holographic theory
says that:
“…our brains
mathematically construct hard reality by
interpreting frequencies from a
dimension transcending time and space.
The brain is a hologram, interpreting a
holographic universe.”
If you
understand what is being said, then you
can begin to understand why Mystics who
have walked the spiritual path in search
of Gnosis and the Divine Manna of the
Kingdom of God, have traditionally
warned others that what they see with
their physical eyes -- i.e., the objects
that appear to their organic senses and
mind as being concrete and solid matter
-- is merely an illusion. And if we
ask the question, what does this
mean? What we are confronted with is
a reality that few biblical skeptics are
even prepared to embrace -- i.e., that
the allegorical nature of the scriptures
is merely an extension of man's own
consciousness, mind and being. In the
above reply to the Atheist,
The God Who Wasn't There, I
demonstrate that the most enlightened
religious/spiritual authorities all
portray the literal text of the written
word of the scriptures as an allegory
which conceals esoteric truths that are
beyond the understanding of
untransformed organic man -- to the
degree that the man who is known as the
Apostle Paul portrayed the literal text
of the scriptures as the
"letter that
killeth" (see
Letter). But what both blind
believer and critic alike fail to
recognize, is the esoteric reality that
the scriptures are in fact a written
allegory that is necessary to prepare
the seeker/disciple to begin to grasp
the greater allegory of the outer world
-- a world that in the analogy of
Plato's Cave, is portrayed as a
world of illusion that must be escaped!
And thus, the reality of what is
portrayed in the words of the Gospel of
Thomas: Jesus
said, "Recognize what is in your sight,
and that which is hidden from you will
become plain to you . For there is
nothing hidden which will not become
manifest." That few
recognize what is in their sight -- and
remain totally ignorant of the fact that
they live in an allegorical world -- is
the reason why they are portrayed as the
walking dead (The
Dead Know Nothing). But the fact
that religious people -- i.e., Jews,
Christians and Muslims -- permit their
children to be programmed by the dead,
is truly sinful.
^
The Demiurge - Allegory? Myth? What is
Reality? What this means is that
the authors of the scriptures did not
randomly decide to compose their
scriptures in allegorical forms -- i.e.,
they did not get together and randomly
create symbols in order to conceal their
spiritual wisdom from the masses. But
rather, they employed a parallel
allegorical format in the creation of
their scriptures, that is also employed
in the forms in the outer world of
matter. Which means that as the
disciple begins to make progress -- and
begins to perceive and comprehend the
inner meaning of the scriptures by
looking beyond the allegorical cloak of
the written text -- he is then able to
utilize this same knowledge to crack the
allegorical code of the forms in the
outer world of illusion -- or more
accurately, the world of allusion within
which mankind dwells in this, the Far
Country.
Again,
in understanding what is portrayed in
the alchemical picture at the right
which is The
Escape: If the objective is to
escape what Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being
(see
Outer Darkness), then why would the
biblical authors portray what is
perceived in the illusion of this world
as being real? Either from an
historical or literal perspective?
When it is recognized that what we
perceive is thought-symbols impressed
into the the forms of Nature as
presented by the modern physicist in the
above subheading
The Allusion Of The Forms Of Matter
-- and that our brain and physical mind
which perceives a holographic universe
by constructing these symbols
universally, out of frequencies of
thought -- then we must begin to
perceive both the scriptures, and the
outer world, from an entirely different
perspective. When it is recognized
that the objects we observe in the outer
world with our physical senses, are in
fact aspects of mind impressed into the
forms and symbols of nature -- and we
are dealing entirely with aspects of
mind -- why would we even imagine that
modern man who has based his assumptions
and predisposed thinking of counterfeit
doctrines of religious beliefs and
fraudulent scientific theories, would be
more inclined to perceive truth, than
the wise men of the past who were
enlightened as to the esoteric nature of
man, mind and the universe in which we
presently dwell? While we imagine
ourselves as more advanced and
enlightened than the mystic visionaries
and wise men in the past -- we do this
to our own folly. Do we need modern
technology to explore aspects of Mind?
And especially our own that we see
reflected back to us from the outer
world? When this fact is recognized,
one would have to conclude that our
modern culture which is built upon
erroneous assumptions, is actually a
great hindrance to finding the higher
truths of man's reality.
While the
modern biblical and religious critic can
point out the countless flaws in the
literal text of the scriptures and the
mainstream of religious doctrine -- they
are generally incapable of comprehending
the well documented assertion that what
they proclaim to be flaws in the literal
text, were purposely inserted in the
scriptures in order to inhibit a person
of greater intellect from reading them
literally/historically. To ignore the
warning of the Church Father Origen when
he portrayed those who were so gullible
to believe the literal text of the
scriptures as
"idiots" (see
The Mystery Of The Gospels) -- or
that of the Church Historian Eusebius
when he stated that those who read the
Gospels literally, and failed to seek
out the language of the soul were men of
"...of very small intelligence".
And to critique the scriptures without
first understanding why the visionaries
of the past composed their sacred
writings in this manner (see
An Inconvenient Truth) -- gives new
meaning to the term intellectual
bankruptcy. Which means that the
modern critics who put themselves forth
as intellectually superior, are
pseudo-authorities who are little more
than intellectual idiots!
In the
February 1979 Psychology Today interview
with brain scientist Karl Pribram, the
world which he attempted to describe
confirmed the vision witnessed by the
Hebrew mystics and prophets who authored
the scriptures -- and when properly
understood, confirmed the reality of the
Bible that neither true believer nor
staunch critic is even prepared to
acknowledge and understand -- i.e.,
Pribram wrote:
“It isn’t that the world of appearances
is wrong; it isn’t that there aren’t
objects out there, at one level of
reality. It’s that if you penetrate
through and look at the universe with a
holographic system, you arrive at a
different reality, one that can explain
things that have hitherto remained
scientifically inexplicable: paranormal
phenomena… synchronicities, the
apparently meaningful coincidence of
events” (see
Illusion ). And thus, it is this
world of illusion that is created by the
limitations of each person's own mind
that is portrayed by the Gnostics as the
Demiurge of a counterfeit creator.
This world of illusions is in fact what
Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and
being. And it is this same world of
illusion that man must escape in the
analogy of
Plato's Cave . The Demiurge,
therefore, is the illusions of each
person's own mind and thinking that has
created the world in which they
presently live.
Man's
Ultimate Reality that most are incapable
of coming to terms with, is the higher
factual reality that there is nothing
but Mind -- and this and all other
dimensions of Reality is a Great Thought
that man is experientially evolving
within. And what this confirms is the
fact that the objects in the outer world
that we observe with our physical
senses, are in reality allegorical
symbols of mind impressed into the forms
of matter by the forces in the
underlying
Etheric Field -- and the forms that
we observe, represents a psychic/mental
impression of the thought form of mind
that it denotes to our own, and
the Universal Consciousness. And once
this higher reality is properly
understood, is the very reason why it
would appear to the unenlightened mind
of the Atheist and critic, that one
religion borrows the mythological
symbolism from another -- when in fact,
nothing could be further from the
truth. Moreover, this is why,
while Eastern mysticism portrays the
forms of concrete matter that we observe
in the outer world as an illusion,
Western Gnosticism understands that the
illusion is more factually, an allusion
-- an allusion because each and every
aspect of what we observe, possess a
meaning that is being pictorially and
allegorically presented to our mind.
Thus, in the Gospel of Thomas Jesus
declares: Jesus said,
"Recognize what
is in your sight, and that which is
hidden from you will become plain to
you". While all things are
plain to the few who possess the eyes to
see, those who continue to dwell under
the limitations and illusions of their
beliefs, are those who dwell under the
power of what the Spiritual (Gnostic)
Christians portrayed as a Demiurge of
their own making. Because the carnal
Jews had thrown away what Jesus called
the Key of Knowledge -- and they saw
only the literal text of the scriptures
which Paul portrayed as the
"letter that
killeth" which were little
more than
"Jewish fables" (see
The Books With The Power to Deceive)
-- it was said that they dwelt under the
power of a Demiurge -- one of their own
making that totally controlled their
vision of the world.
What is the
difference between an illusion and an
allusion? When properly understood,
they are in fact worlds apart. While
an illusion could be virtually anything
-- i.e., like a hallucination that a
dying man sees in the form of a mirage
in the middle of the desert -- an
allusion is a symbolic representation of
a reality that we may or may not
recognize what is being portrayed.
That the organic mind of man only sees
the outward form that has been imbedded
in nature as a symbol of what that form
indicates, is the illusions of what
Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness", and what Plato
portrayed as the Cave of illusions.
Only as your higher aspects of mind
develop, do you begin to see the meaning
of the allegorical symbols of this world
-- i.e.,
"Recognize what is in your sight, and
that which is hidden from you will
become plain to you".
If all that
we see in the outer world is the result
of the forces exerted in the underlying
Field -- i.e., the words of Einstein
that “We may
therefore regard matter as being
constituted by the regions of space in
which the field is extremely intense…
There is no place in this new kind of
physics both for the field and matter,
for the field is the only reality”
-- the form that is impressed into the
shape that we see, is an allegorical
representation of the aspect of mind
that the symbol expresses. In the same
way that a phallic symbol which was used
by the ancients expresses the male
generative power, the penis itself
expresses an aspect of mind that is
universal. And this is true not only
of all the parts of the body, but also
everything that exists in the outer
world -- which is merely a larger scale
and pattern of mind expressed and
impressed into matter -- i.e.,
mental-imagery. Which means that a
dog, appears to us in that physical form
that we see and interact with as a K9,
because of the underlying aspect of mind
and consciousness that is represented in
the physical form of a dog. A dog,
therefore, is an aspect of mind
impressed into the form of nature which
we observe. When Jesus warned not to
give what is holy to dogs, what he was
presenting was the reality that a dog
represents a condition of mind projected
into the forms of matter that we see --
and people who are ruled over by this
condition of mind, are incapable of
comprehending what is holy. And from
an enlightened perspective, a swine, is
a swine, because of the underlying
aspect of mind and consciousness that is
represented in the form of the swine.
Thought
Animated Symbols: The Egyptians
expressed themselves in hieroglyphs --
and much of the Chinese languages
represent thoughts impressed into
symbols -- and when properly understood,
everything that we see and interact with
in the outer world is merely the
thoughts of the Great Mind expressed in
the allegorical forms of matter -- i.e.,
mental-imagery. If you could take the
vast realities of our own mind and
express each aspect of mind in the form
of a symbol that would animate the
thought that each represents, then you
would begin to grasp the reality of man
as dwelling within an illusion that is
an allusion -- i.e., a Matrix of mind
expressed into symbols which animate
each thought that is the building blocks
of consciousness. And thus, we can
begin to grasp the higher reality
expressed by G.R.S. Mead, a foremost
authority on the Gnostics, in his book
entitled Fragments of a Faith
Forgotten, where this explanation of
the true nature of the scriptures is put
forth: “…what
the Gnostics projected onto the screen…
[in the form of a ] picture of the
universe was in reality a picture of
their own minds. Its mythology is a
symbolic portrayal, almost a deliberate
one, of the forces which operate in the
structuring and evolution of the human
personality”. And upon
encountering these same patterns of
thought in the dreams and thinking of
his patients, was the reason that Carl
Jung called the Gnostic Christians the
worlds first and foremost psychologists
who understood the very fabric of human
consciousness. Why did he come to
recognize what the Gnostics were
presenting? He found that many of his
patients who knew absolutely nothing
about either the Gnostics or scriptures,
were in fact dreaming in these same
symbolic symbols -- and thus, he began
to recognize that the authors of the
scriptures wrote in what is called the
language of the soul.
What this means is that all the many
critics of what is presented in Gnostic
scriptures, are merely expressing their
own ignorance of both the essence and
spiritual objectives of Gnosticism, as
well as the relationship of the
cosmology of self, and that of the outer
world. A most profoundly enlightened
statement with respect to the
relationship of what Jesus portrayed as
the Key of Knowledge and the true
meaning of the scriptures is made by the
Church Father Origen in his famed
writing De Principiis where he states:
“But all the
narrative portion, relating either to
the marriages, or to the begetting of
the children, or to battles of different
kinds, or to any other histories
whatever, what else can they be supposed
to be, save the forms and figures of
hidden and sacred things? As men,
however, make little effort to exercise
their intellect, or imagine that they
possess knowledge before they really
learn", they remain
lost and incapable of escaping the
Demiurge that controls their thinking.
What is being conveyed is that (from a
scriptural perspective) all the
interrelationships between men and
women, the marriages, and the begetting
of children, as well as the battles and
wars, kings and all other aspects of the
scriptures that on the surface of the
text appear to be historical -- are not
at all historical -- but rather, the
allegorical portrayal of body, mind/soul
and spirit of the disciples own mind and
being. And this is why the Apostle
Paul states that the biblical account of
Abraham is an allegory (Gal 4:24) -- and
has no historical relevance,
significance or accuracy. And while
both the carnal Jews and the carnal
Muslims look to Abraham as their common
forefather, they do this because of
their ignorance of the symbols of their
own scriptures.
In much the
same way, the seemingly astrological
myths of the Greek poets and other such
writings, are once again a portrayal of
mind. And this reality is demonstrated
in the words of the Apostle Peter:
“The wisest of
the ancients, men who had by hard labor
learned all truth, kept the path of
knowledge hid from those who were
unworthy and had no taste for lessons in
divine things. For it is not really true
that from Ouranos and his mother Ge were
born twelve children, as the myth counts
them: six sons, Okeanos, Koios, Krios,
Hyperion, Japetos, Kronos; and six
daughters, Thea, Themis, Mnemosyne,
Demeter, Tethys, and Rhea. Nor that
Kronos, with the knife of adamant,
mutilated his father Ouranos, as you
say, and threw the part into the sea;
nor that Aphrodite sprang from the drops
of blood which flowed from it; nor that
Kronos associated with Rhea, and
devoured his first-begotten son Pluto,
because a certain saying of Prometheus
led him to fear that a child born from
him would wax stronger than himself, and
spoil him of his kingdom... But, my son,
as I said, such stories have a peculiar
and philosophical meaning, which can be
allegorically set forth in such a way
that you yourself would listen with
wonder” (Peter quoted in the
Clementine Homilies). Why would the
esoteric truths concealed in the
writings of the Greek poets amaze the
hearer? Because what is being
revealed is the very foundational fabric
of mind and being that modern man
remains totally ignorant of today.
Higher
Truth Lies Beyond The Allegorical Forms
Of The World: That there
is an Inner Source of Knowledge that is
beyond even the most enlightened wisdom
of this world, is in fact the very
reason why the Apostle Paul wrote:
“For the truth
about God is known to them
instinctively; God has put this
knowledge in their hearts”
(Rom 1:19 TLB). Which are in fact
parallel statements presented in the
above -- i.e., that of
astronomer James
Jeans who stated that:
“Today there is a
wide measure of agreement… that the
stream of knowledge is heading towards a
non-mechanical reality; the universe
begins to look more like a great thought
than like a great machine”;
and the statement by astronomer Arthur
Eddington:
“The stuff of the
universe is mind-stuff”.
More recently, cyberneticist David
Foster described
“an intelligent
universe”
whose apparent
concreteness is generated by cosmic data
from an unknowable, organized source.
The reality of the holographic theory
says that:
“…our brains
mathematically construct hard reality by
interpreting frequencies from a
dimension transcending time and space.
The brain is a hologram, interpreting a
holographic universe.”
Once the
reality that this world is an illusion
-- and that the illusion is in fact an
allusion -- and this reality is
understood as one looks out at the forms
and mental-imagery of this world -- what
this means is that from a biblical
perspective, the swine is an unclean
animal, because of the thought-pattern
and consciousness that is represented in
the (allegorical) form of the swine as
presented to our organic senses. The
swine which is condemned as an unclean
animal in the Bible, is also rejected in
the Qur'an -- and while the
unenlightened Atheist may point to this
commonality between the scriptures and
conclude that Mohammed borrowed from
Moses, nothing could be further from the
truth. The swine is unclean, because
of the thoughts that are embodied when
projected into the allegorical form of
nature that created its image and
actions. The commonality is founded
upon the fact that both the authors of
the Torah, as well as the Qur'an, were
aware of what these thoughts projected
into the (allegorical) forms of mind
represented in the symbols of
consciousness impressed into the symbol
that is presented to the mind of man as
he observes the allusion of the outer
world. And because we are observing
and interacting with Universal
Consciousness, this esoteric reality of
mind is true of all the forms that we
observe in the outer world -- and
especially the human body, which is
an allegorical blueprint of our own
mind, impressed into the forms that make
up the body-vessel in which we dwell.
And the fact that these universal
(allegorical) symbols of mind which are
impressed into the forms of nature, is
the basis of why it appears that
religions borrow beliefs from other
religions (see
The God Who Wasn't There ),
represents the folly of the Atheists and
critics who condemn what they lack the
depth of mind to even begin to
understand. And in the same way that
the unenlightened religious believers
who, because of spiritual immaturity,
clings to doctrines of manmade belief
regarding the interpretation of these
symbols of projected mental-imagery, the
pseudo-intellectuals and Atheists invent
half-baked theories such as Evolution,
to explain away what they fail to
understand with respect to the forms
observed in the outer world. Thus,
the pseudo-intellectuals and Atheists
who fail to understand what they see
when they look out at the outer world,
merely dwell under the power of a
different variety of Demiurge than the
immature religious people they
condemn.
The True
Measure Of Intellect: Why do I
portray them as pseudo-intellectuals?
An ultra-important definition of
intellect is presented on the
Nazirene web site which reads:
"The true
measure of intellect is seen in the
ability of a person to re-evaluate what
they believe to be true when additional
and clarifying knowledge is received,
and then apply this knowledge in their
life so as to intimately embrace the
higher truth that has been revealed in
the endeavor to receive still Higher
Truth." To ignore the
explanation of why the author's of the
scriptures were literally forced to
compose their writings in the
allegorical language of the soul -- and
to ignore the universal message of the
mystic who has warned mankind that the
objects that they see in this world is
projected mental-imagery -- and that
this enlightened vision of this world
has been confirmed by modern physicists
who portray this world as a Great
Thought, the Source of which can only be
understood from the perspective of the
"Field" which is not seen by man's
physical senses -- gives a totally new
dimensional meaning to the folly of
man's absolute insanity to ignore. And
to ignore the very words of the Apostle
Paul in relation to the above -- i.e.,
"While we look
not at the things which are seen, but at
the things which are not seen: for the
things which are seen are temporal; but
the things which are not seen are
eternal" (2 Cor 4:18 KJV) --
represents a demonstration of modern
man's intellectual incompetency that is
simply beyond the pale of the history of
man's superstition and ignorant past.
And the fact that our modern
pseudo-intellectual educators are
clueless as to the universal meaning of
the mental-imagery that is projected
into the forms and symbols of the
scriptures -- i.e., composed in the
universal language of the soul -- is
proof of their intellectual
bankruptcy.
What is
being stated by both the physicist and
the Gnostic author of the scriptures?
I have demonstrated above at a number of
points where the biblical authors warn
that higher reality is inconceivable to
the mind of organic man. Why? For no
other reason than the fact that man's
organic natural physical consciousness
is infantile and undeveloped. So the
problem then becomes how an enlightened
visionary who has escaped the illusions
of this world -- i.e., an enlightened
visionary who finds himself condemned
and rejected by the men of organic
carnal consciousness -- finds it near
impossible to convey to others who lack
the ability to understand in their
present organic condition, what they
need to embrace in order to expand their
level of mind beyond organic human
consciousness. In the account of
Plato's Cave, those who succeed in
escaping the illusions of the Cave, are
condemned and rejected as
"madmen"
when they return and attempt to convey
to others the true reality of what
carnal organic man sees in this world of
mental-imagery. Thus, because it has
been impossible throughout man's history
to convey the truth of this world
literally, these visionaries who had
themselves escaped the illusion that is
an allusion, portrayed the symbols of
mental-imagery in such a way, that the
symbols themselves would act as a
catalyst that reflects man's inner
reality where the meaning of the symbols
is known and understood for what they
truly reveal to the mind of the
enlightened seeker. And this is why
in the above quotation of the Church
Father Origen he states that
"...As men,
however, make little effort to exercise
their intellect, or imagine that they
possess knowledge before they really
learn", he is
indicating that an inner part of us
already knows and understands the
meaning of the symbolism of the
projected mental-imagery, and when the
Key of Knowledge is properly applied,
man begins to possess the power and
ability to escape the illusions of
Plato's Cave that Jesus portrayed as the
"outer
darkness" of mind and
being. And the fact that our modern
systems of education is not only totally
ignorant of the true meaning of the
scriptures -- or why the mystic
visionaries who authored the worlds'
scriptures composed them in this
allegorical manner -- is indicative of
the fact that our modern educators are
themselves under the power of a
different variety of Demiurge -- and
they exist as virtual slaves who are
shackled to the illusions of
Plato's Cave and the
"outer
darkness" of mind and
being.
Thus, in
the same way that man dwells within a
living world of allegorical symbols that
when understood, had the inherent power
to enlighten -- the authors of the
scriptures utilize these very same
symbols in such a way, that they act as
catalysts that connect the seeker with
their own inner higher reality that they
are for the most part ignorant of.
Why? Because it is the proper usage of
these catalysts which facilitates the
necessary expansion of mind beyond
organic limitations. And while the
spiritually immature religious person
may embrace these biblical symbols under
the cloud of blind faith -- the very
fact that they systematically embrace
them, enables the symbols to begin to
act as forces that enlighten, when used
in the proper environment -- i.e., the
environment which Jesus portrayed as the
"good ground"
in the parable of the
Sower and the Seed. And apart
from this environment which Jesus warned
is necessary to escape the
"outer
darkness" of mind and being,
Jesus warned:
“Know ye not this parable? and how
then will ye know all parables?”
-- which indicates the absolute
necessity of brining about the
environment of the
"good ground" within one's
self, in order to escape the organic
limitations of the physical
consciousness of the body-vessel.
And proof of what Jesus stated is
demonstrated in the fact that not only
is the immature believer incapable of
understanding the true meaning of the
scriptures, but this blindness is also
true with respect to the
pseudo-intellectual and Atheist critics
who reject the biblical symbols as
superstition and useless myth --
remaining intellectually flat-lined and
bankrupt -- unable to move beyond their
present mindset, because the
Demiurge-filter that controls their
thinking, will not permit the necessary
expansion of mind beyond its present
carnal and organic limitations. Yet
these pseudo-intellectuals, like the
Pharisees before them, not only put
themselves forth as teachers -- but they
use their position of authority to force
others to subscribe to their folly and
ignorance.
In reality
there is nothing that is concealed from
mankind -- and the problem is the
inability of the physical to perceive
what lies beyond the vibration of the
spectrum of earth-frequencies. Thus,
the Gospel proclaims:
"And the disciples
came and said to Him, Why do You speak
to them in parables? He answered and
said to them,
Because it has
been given to you to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
has not been given.
For whoever has, to him more will be
given, and he will have abundance; but
whoever does not have, even what he has
will be taken away from him.
Therefore I speak
to them in parables, because seeing they
do not see, and hearing they do not
hear, nor do they understand.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is
fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will
hear and shall not understand, and
seeing you will see and not perceive;
For the hearts of this people have grown
dull. Their ears are hard of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed, lest
they should see with their eyes and hear
with their ears, lest they should
understand with their hearts and turn,
so that I should heal them.'
But blessed are
your eyes for they see, and your ears
for they hear;
for assuredly, I say to you that many
prophets and righteous men desired to
see what you see, and did not see it,
and to hear what you hear, and did not
hear it" (Matt 13:10-17 NKJ).
The
disciples were those who had detached
themselves from the thinking, mindset
and lifestyle of this world -- and were
seeking the Kingdom. Thus, they began
to develop the necessary expansion of
mind and the senses, that permitted them
to see and perceive beyond the spectrum
of earth-frequencies. The multitudes,
on the other hand, remained blind to
anything outside of the frequencies of
the earth -- and were thus portrayed as
blind, deaf and unable to perceive and
understand man's higher soul and
spiritual reality. That limiting
force of consciousness that left them
earth-bound in their thinking and
virtually blind to man's higher reality,
was portrayed as a Demiurge that was the
source of the delusions they dwelled
under. The Demiurge is very much the
filter of their beliefs, mindset and
lifestyle, that limits the vision and
understanding of the world in which they
live. Therefore, once this reality is
understood, then it can be said that
each group -- nay, even each individual
-- dwells in a world created by their
own Demiurge which they worship in
ignorance. In the parable of the
Sower and the Seed, the Demiurge is
portrayed allegorically as Satan who
alienates the person from
“...the word
that was sown in their hearts”
(Mark 4:15 KJV).
Einstein experienced shock when he first
came into contact with the new reality of
atomic physics, and wrote in his
autobiography: “All
my attempts to adapt the theoretical
foundation of physics to this [new type of]
knowledge failed completely. It was as if
the ground had been pulled out from under
one, with no firm foundation to be seen
anywhere, upon which one could have built”.
In much the same fashion, the European
physicist Niels Bohr stated that
“…The great
extension of our experience in recent years
has brought to light the insufficiency of
our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a
consequence, has shaken the foundation on
which the customary interpretation of
observation was based.” These
“…mechanical
conceptions” make reference to
Darwin and the theory of evolution.
The Elementary Kabbalah:
In
the transition phase of the seeker, it is
important for a teacher/guide/rabbi to
reveal a certain level of esoteric knowledge
to the disciple who can benefit from this
knowledge. And thus, to this
level of seeker the ancient mystics revealed
a 10 sphere Tree of Life which is used
throughout Kabbalah today. And those
familiar with Kabbalah are aware that there
is sometimes an 11th sphere added named
Daath -- but the limitations of the carnal Jewish
mindset can be seen in the many theories set
forth as to why Daath cannot even be counted
as a sphere of the Tree.
When
I first began journeying into what I portray
as the Realm of Souls where I could
communicate directly with my higher
soul-self (see
SoulSelf.org
-- and tapping into
my past lives -- without my even asking for
this knowledge, the 12 sphere Tree of Life
was shown to me. And of
course in the Book of Revelation is the
statement which confirmed what I was taught
in spirit:
"In the
middle of its street, and on either side of
the river, was the tree of life, which bore
twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit
every month. The leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations" (Rev
22:2 NKJ) -- and in researching my own past
lives where I was immersed in the inner core
of Jewish mysticism, I saw that the
knowledge of the 11th and 12th sphere was
reserved only for the most evolved initiates
into the system. And in the allegory
of the children born from the wives of Jacob
-- who came to be called Israel -- the last
two spheres can be portrayed as the only
offspring of Jacob's wife Rachel.
While the 11th sphere is Spiritual Knowledge
or Gnosis -- and as the 11th can be
portrayed as the Generative Power Of The
Kingdom -- the 12th sphere which is
portrayed as Intellect, is not intellect in
the measure of IQ -- but rather, the
application of knowledge in a person's
actions and deeds. While it is
one thing to possess a degree of knowledge,
it is quite another thing to use and apply
that knowledge in one's life in the proper
way. And in many respects, the
movement of bio-energy or vital life-force
(the inheritance of the prodigal son) can be
seen as the gift upon the alter of the Final
Temple which we recently discussed. And the
Enlightened Mystic understands that it is
impossible for this gift/energy to flow
directly from Binah/Understanding/Male, or
from Chokhmah/Wisdom/Female, except through
one's Actions/Intellect Sphere. And even
then there must also be the Gnosis/Knowledge
connection through Daath/Knowledge.
In view of the fact that Binah/Understanding
and Chokhmah/Wisdom is the outer columns of
the Tree of Duality (aka Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil) -- which is also
representative of the division of
male/female -- the Jewish way of drawing the
paths of the 10 sphere Tree of Life is
virtually impossible, because the required
oneness of duality has not been brought
about -- as presented in the
Gospel of Thomas:
"When you make the two one, and when you
make the inside like the outside and the
outside like the inside, and the above like
the below, and when you make the male and
the female one and the same, so that the
male not be male nor the female female...". Which means that the 10 sphere Tree of Life
with the energy paths connecting Binah and
Chokhmah with Kether is fatally flawed.
But from the perspective of the inner core
of Jewish mystics, a disciple/initiate was
not prepared to move on until they came to
the realization that you can't return/access
Kether while in the divided state of the
Tree of Duality. And that the
death which was pronounced from eating the
fruit of the Tree of Duality, was because of
the loss of vital life-force into Nature,
instead of the return of the energy within
one's self to the Source. Only
when the Jewish Kabbalah initiate arrived at
the point where this understand began to
come to them, were they ready to receive the
higher esoteric knowledge that was never
given into the hands of those outside of the
core group.
It is interesting that one Internet source
that portrays itself as The School Of
Spiritual Integrity, on a page entitled What
Is Daath?, not only embodies the theories as
to why Daath can't be counted as a sphere of
the Tree of Life, but repeats one of the
typical Jewish error of applying both the
Tree of Life and the scriptures externally
-- i.e., (quoting):
"To describe the Universe in terms of
"flow and form" (ascending/descending tree)".
And thus, we observe them throwing away the
Key of Knowledge in their external and
historical interpretations.
Lets take the
above portrayal of (Jewish) Kabbalah one
step further. Because the Jews
generally interpret the scriptures outwardly
-- i.e, throwing away the
Key of Knowledge
-- interpreting the
Tree of Life cosmically, they portray the
top sphere (Kether) as God.
Which in their externalization would be
synonymous with saying that one of the 12
tribes of Israel was God -- or from a Gospel
perspective, one of the disciples of Yeshua/Jesus
was God -- but Judaism has always had a
problem with the concept that the Kingdom is
within us. In the image of the 12
sphere Tree of Life, what we have is four
(4) Primary Trinities (as well as a number
of sub-trinities) -- and to see this, you
must understand the Intellect sphere as
being the physical body itself, which all
the other spheres must work through because
the physical body encompasses all the other
spheres. Which means that the upper most
sphere (Kether/Heavenly Kingdom is the
paired opposite of the bottom most sphere or
earthly-kingdom -- and the third-force
balance is the Intellect sphere.
And this is further explained and explored
in the 600-607 series in the Library (see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/messages/600
).
In looking at the below image, it is
important to recognize that there is only
one path out of the Earthly Kingdom sphere
which leads to the Foundation sphere --
which means that there must be a certain
degree of wholeness in order for the vital
life-force to move up out of the lower
(animal) consciousness, and not be lost into
nature. And to a large degree, this requires
the keeping of the Commandments. In the
Gospel of the Nazirenes there is great
emphasis placed upon the keeping of the Law
-- and it is the keeping of the Law that
permits the person to control or domesticate
the animal nature that is the lower
consciousness of the earthly kingdom.
In The Way Of The Monk (http://TheThreeLies.com#monk
) I demonstrate that the two triangles in
the Star of David has the earthly division
resolved in the upper most point in the
Heavenly Kingdom (Kether), while the upper
heavenly/spiritual division which is a
reflection (and reversed) of the heavenly
division, must be resolved in the lowest
most point in the Earthly Kingdom.
And I explain why you can never evolve or
manifest the upper, without first bringing
to wholeness and completion the lowest point
in the earthly. Which also means
that the ten (10) spheres in the center,
once made whole and complete, have the
capacity to manifest Oneness in the Center
-- i.e., the version of the teaching on the
coming of the Kingdom preserved in the
Gospel of the Nazirenes:
And one of the
disciples asked him, "How shall a man enter
into the Kingdom?" And he answered and said,
"If you don't make below as the above, and
the left as the right, and the behind as the
before, entering into the center and passing
into the spirit, you will not enter into the
kingdom of God."
None of these conditions can be envisioned
or understood in the cosmic Tree of Life
used in Kabbalah. And that this
enlightened understanding of the Tree of
Life is crucial to the evolving of the mind
of the seeker, is why it was presented to me
in the Realm of Souls without my asking for
it at the time -- and why this is clarified
in the Book of Revelation in the words:
"In the middle of
its street, and on either side of the river,
was the tree of life, which bore twelve
fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every
month. The leaves of the tree were for the
healing of the nations"
(Rev 22:2
NKJ). And the fact that Kabbalah is
not built upon this model -- and lacks the
necessary understanding of how the Tree must
be applied to one's own mind and being -- is
why I consider Kabbalah to be a dead-ended
path that lacks any functional understanding
of the reality of the higher soul-self.
While I mentioned
the Lesser-Trinities in the foregoing, I
never did expand on them -- and these lesser
Trinities are crucial to bringing about the
necessary condition of Oneness across the
Twelve Spheres. In the Center
nine spheres you of course have Trinities on
the horizontal -- i.e., (Physical)
Logic/Male, Intuition/Female, with the
Third-Force balance being the Foundation --
(Spiritual) Understanding/Male,
Wisdom/Female, with the third-force balance
in Knowledge/Gnosis -- across the center
(mind) you have Judgment/Male, Mercy/Female,
with the third-force balance in the Love
sphere. But on the vertical columns of
the outer Tree of Duality, you have the
Male-Trinity (spiritual, physical & balance
in the center) of Understanding, Logic and
the Center third-force balance of Judgment
-- while on the Female-Trinity (spiritual,
physical & balance in the center) you have
Wisdom, Intuition and the center balance of
Mercy. And when the Outer Columns of
the Tree of Duality are in harmony and
merged in the Center (vertical), you have a
Trinity across the (Tree of Life) spheres of
Knowledge (spiritual), Foundation (physical)
and Love (mental and center).
Which gives you paths across the
Logic/Wisdom/Love, and the
Intuitive/Understanding/Love -- with the
nine manifesting through the Intellect to
bring the Heavenly and Earthly Kingdoms into
the Center. And since the
teaching in the Gospel of the Nazirenes
states that you must enter through the
Center, it is the Center-Love sphere that is
portrayed as the Key to the Gospel that
opens the inner
"narrow strait gate".
In not
understanding the Divine Pattern that is
holographically replicated into all the
lesser pieces, it remains virtually
impossible for the Kabbalist to move beyond
what I would portray as a Mystery-Religion
Occult understanding. Moreover,
with the 10 spheres of their Tree of Life,
it is virtually impossible for the Kabbalist
to comprehend the higher pattern of both the
Divine pattern and the reality of the soul
-- which is comprised of a threefold nature.
And in not understanding the Divine Pattern
-- along with the holographic replication
into all of the lesser aspects of Self and
Creation -- the Kabbalist is dead-ended at a
certain crucial point in their development.
Which means that because of this Jewish
limitation, the only way for a spiritual-Jew
to advance, is to be born outside of
Judaism. Which means that
intellectually, such a person who lived as a
spiritual-Jew, will be perceived as a (dumb)
disenfranchised Goyam who knows nothing.

In the recently discovered
Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples
said to Jesus, "We know that you
will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus
said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James
the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into
being." So to once again restore the teachings
of TheWay which is today known as Christianity, the Lord
has sent Jacob/James, the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, back
into the world in order to guide the faithful flock into
the Truth, the Light, and the Kingdom within (Luke
17:20-21). It is there that my brother Yeshua/Jesus
awaits you.
The above warning with
respect to the predicted corruption of Yeshua's
teachings is further stated in the first century
writings known today as the Clementine Recognitions
where it is written: "Our Lord and
Prophet, who hath sent us, declared to us that the
wicked one, having disputed with Him forty days, and
having prevailed nothing against Him, promised that he
would send apostles from amongst his subjects, to
deceive. Wherefore, above all, remember to shun apostle
or teacher or prophet who does not first accurately
compare his preaching with that of James, who was called
the brother of my Lord, and to whom was entrusted to
administer the church of the Hebrews in Jerusalem, — and
that even though he come to you with witnesses: lest the
wickedness which disputed forty days with the Lord, and
prevailed nothing, should afterwards, like lightning
falling from heaven upon the earth, send a preacher to
your injury, as now he has sent Simon upon us,
preaching, under pretense of the truth, in the name of
the Lord, and sowing error. Wherefore He who hath sent
us, said, ‘Many shall come to me in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits
ye shall know them.’"
Again it is warned by Clement:
"Wherefore observe the
greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he
bring from Jerusalem the testimonial of James the Lord’s
brother, or of whosoever may come after him. For no one,
unless he has gone up thither, and there has been
approved as a fit and faithful teacher for preaching the
word of Christ, — unless, I say, he brings a testimonial
thence, is by any means to be received. But let neither
prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time,
besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words
we twelve apostles preach"
As
predicted, the ministers of Satan have succeeded in
altering the teachings of my brother Yeshua, and
continue to lead many into the abyss of darkness. But
have no fear my brothers and sisters, for the teachings
of TheWay has been restored so that you might be able to
overcome the darkness, and enter the Kingdom of Light
within you (Luke 17:20-21).

The Brother Of Yeshua/Jesus:
2000
years ago I lived as Jacob who many all
James, and I was known as the Brother of
Yeshua and the first leader of the New
Covenant movement of TheWay which is today
known as Christianity. I was sent back into
the world to restore the teachings of my
brother Yeshua to their original spiritual
essence, and to guide you in TheWay that is
"narrow" so you will be able to open the
"strait gate" within you and enter the
Kingdom that Yeshua declared must be
attained through the second birth. |

The Ebionite HomePage:
If you
call yourself a Christian, Jew, Messianic
believer, Evyonim, Nazarene or Muslim, then
it is imperative that you learn of the
Ebionites who are True Spiritual Israel --
They are the Poor Ones to the ways and
thinking of this world -- The Ebionites were
the Israelites of the Nazirene Vow They
are/were the Genuine Disciples of Yeshua/Jesus
who are in the world and not of it! |

The Nazirene HomePage:
The
original spiritual teachings of Yeshua/Jesus
as practiced by the people of The Way who
where known historically as the Essenes,
Ebionites, and Nazirenes. The teachings of
The Way are Spiritual -- and provide a means
to open the "strait gate" into the Kingdom
while still physically alive in the
body/vessel. |

The Light
Of Yeshua -- The Messianic Nazirene Disciple
of TheWay:
While many teach that believers are saved by
faith, the journey of the disciple of Yeshua
is one of absolute dedication to The Way.
The disciple who becomes a brother to Yeshua
must live as he lived, and become a Nazirene
who is consecrated and wholly set apart as
they walk the Narrow Way, enter into the
Kingdom through the Strait Gate, and learn
directly from the L-rd -- the One Rabbi and
Teacher of the Mysteries of G-d. |

Divine
Strategery: How God Fools Mankind - Keeping
Him Ignorant Of The Truth: Strategery
has become synonymous with when what is
portrayed as simple, simpleminded, or even
self-evident, is able to dupe and thwart an
opposing force that perceives itself to be
either superior, or to suppose they know the
answers. Divine Strategery is how God
fools all the religious leaders of this
world who think they
doctrinally
know God -- all the would-be teachers and
philosophers of this world who think they
Know Truth
-- all the Atheists and those who criticize
and denounce the existence of God by virtue
of their limited perception and
understanding -- and all the people in this
world who think they understand the purpose
of life and the world in which we presently
dwell. As prodigal sons and daughters of
our Heavenly Father, if the people in this
life knew the answers, then the learning
experience of
God's SchoolHouse of this world would
not effectively evolve us to become true
Brothers and Sisters of our Elder Brother
Yeshua/Jesus. Therefore, in order to insure
that each of us is immersed in the necessary
learning experience that this life offers,
all people are equally fooled into thinking
they know, in order for them to be
manipulated into embracing a higher agenda
that is beyond their ability to even
imagine. Thus, Divine Strategery!!!

The
Pre-Existent Soul of Mankind: Jesus
taught the reality of the pre-existent soul
that evolves to perfection over the course
of many lifetimes. The Church adheres to the
doctrine and theology of a Circus Prostitute
and a Roman Emperor who maintained absolute
control over what Christians were permitted
to believe! Christians continue to cling to
the theology of this Circus Prostitute today
- rejecting the teachings of Jesus, while
adhering to the doctrines of Pagan Rome. The
mass confusion of an uncountable number of
sects today, is the direct result of the
void which was brought about when this
foundational concept was removed from both
the Bible, as well as Christian doctrine.
The doctrinal quagmire which was brought
about with the removal of this foundational
teaching, obstructs Christians growth and
maturity beyond the entry-level simple
faith. Because they adhere to the corrupted
doctrines of men, modern Christians can't
inherit the Biblical Promise of entering the
Kingdom and Life. |

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

Gospel of
the Nazirenes -- Gospel Of Light:
What did the Gospels look like
before being edited and re-written by the
Church of Rome? What were the original
beliefs of the first followers of Yeshua?
You will be astonished when you read a
surviving text of The Gospel of the
Nazirenes which was hidden away from the
corrupters of the Roman Church. Are you
ready for a truly enlightening experience? |

The Gate Of
Eden: Why were the
Nazirene/Ebionites vegetarian? Why did they
live in accordance with the precepts of the
Torah/Law? Why did they live separate and
apart from both Jews and Christians? The
answer is very simple: The Gate of Eden is
within us, and if we fail to enter therein
while we are still physically alive in the
body, we will have failed in our opportunity
to enter into Life. And while it can be
countered that we are saved by our belief in
Messiah/Christ, faith, or the blood of the
lamb, the truth is that if we were truly
faithful disciples of TheWay, that we would
experience the opening of the inner door and
the Kingdom coming within us. The
GateOfEden article explores all aspects of
the need to pick up one's own cross and
follow the narrow path that leads to the
inner gate to the Edenic Kingdom of
Origination. |

To Know
Thyself
To
GOD
One of the primary objectives of all
religious paths is The
Heightening And Expansion Of Mind.
Which means that you not only have
to overcome the limitations of the
brain and physical body-vessel, but
you have to grow and evolve your
facilities of mind that enable you
to bring about the next stage of
birth, and become ONE with your
Unknown Self -- which can be
portrayed as your higher soul-self.
When the Buddha became
Enlightened, he did not arise and
preach God to the people in the
manner of the Hindus, because he
moved past their spiritual
immaturity and found the seat of
self. In like manner, the Gospel
of Thomas which opens with the
statement that you must find the
true meaning to the teachings
herein, if you are to overcome death
-- and thereafter he states: "But
if you will not know yourselves, you
dwell in poverty and it is you who
are that poverty... Whoever
finds himself is superior to the
world".
And while the spiritually immature
preach and teach God, the focus of
the words in the Gospel of Thomas is
Knowing Self. Why? Because it is
impossible to Know God from a human
perspective, without first Knowing
and Becoming one's True Self. In
Gospel Of Thomas saying 84, the
image-self does not rejoice over
seeing God -- but rather, their
likeness, which is their True Self
-- i.e., their higher Soul-Self.
Saying 84 does not proclaim: When
you see God you rejoice -- but when
you see those (people) who did not
become manifest,
"...how much you [sorrow] will have
to bear!"
The Law is that all things must
return to its source. The esoteric
truths that could only be revealed
to those who had moved beyond what
Paul portrayed as the elementary and
entry level parabolic teachings (see
Mystery Of The Gospel) -- and
was portrayed as those who were able
to
Enter Into The House -- was the
higher reality of the soul that is a
Being of Light, and does not
incarnate into the body. And in
accordance with the Laws, in the
same way that your soul must return
to it's Source, you must return to
your source. Your source is your
higher soul-self -- of which you
began your existence at conception
in this life as an embryonic image
of (see Man
As An Embryonic Soul-Image).
And it is through these cycles of
birth, development and return, that
the soul-self evolves to perfection
through the experiential knowledge
gained in the life of each
embryonic-image that is generated
into this world. Holographically,
your higher soul-self must in the
Omega, return to its Source, which
is Creator-God. The spiritually
immature attempt to skip over their
True Self, which is their higher
Soul-Self -- i.e., "But
if you will not know yourselves, you
dwell in poverty and it is you who
are that poverty..." -- and
they preach God.
If you
stand before the carnal and
spiritually immature people of this
world and proclaim that God revealed
this or that to you, then they will
not only listen -- but they will do
your bidding and even give you their
money and allegiance. And thus,
the leaders of the spiritually
immature have been preaching God and
depriving their brothers and sisters
of Life, since the dawn of time
itself. If, on the other hand, you
stood before the carnal and
spiritually immature and stated that
your true self revealed esoteric
knowledge to you that will help them
overcome their plight in the "outer
darkness" of
mind and being of this world (see Outer
Darkness), they will
condemn and reject you as a "madman" as
portrayed in the analogy of Plato's
Cave. If, on the other
hand, the person who escaped the
illusions of the Cave of this world
came and told the other prisoners
that they escaped to heaven and saw
God, the prisoners inside the cave
would proclaim this person a prophet
-- or, even God incarnate. But the
very fact that the few who actually
escape the Cave of Illusions of this
world, attempt to convey to the
prisoners the reality of Self that
the Gospel of Thomas states you must
come to Know, causes the prisoners
to condemn these few who escape the
Cave of Illusions as heretics,
madmen, and demon-possessed.
The
forbidden fruit of the Tree of
Knowledge of Good and Evil (Tree of
Duality) is in fact the embodiment
of the Divine Pattern of Creation
which is holographically imbued with
the PARADOXICAL duality of male and
female in their infinite forms and
expressions. A paradox is two
opposite and often conflicting
truths that oppose each other even
though they are both equally true.
And when rightly understood,
forbidden fruit of the paradoxical
opposites of the Tree of Duality can
only be rectified on a higher plane
(see The
Triangle in The Way Of The Monk)
-- and if you eat (ingest) the one
truth while discarding or rejecting
its opposite, then the eating of
this fruit/truth sustains you in a
state of (spiritual) death. And
one of the greatest of man's
paradoxes which confront him, is the
reality that while all of Creation
dwells within the Mind of God, man
dwells within God by PROXY --
meaning that while your higher
soul-self is the direct offspring of
Creator-God, you are the direct
offspring of your higher soul-self
-- i.e., "But
if you will not know yourselves, you
dwell in poverty and it is you who
are that poverty...".
As a
generated thought-image of your
higher soul-self who is neither male
nor female or any of the races --
and is a Being
Of Light of
pure vital life-force and manifest
intellect -- it is impossible for
you to become One with God --
because you dwell within the Mind of
God by proxy -- and it is your
higher soul-self that must return to
its Source, which is Creator-God.
And in not understanding the
Cosmology of Mind and the many
images that make up the higher
Soul-Self, or True Self that is not
manifest in this physical world, you
will mentally and spiritually
flat-line in the manner of the
Hindus who preached God to the
people, in the time of the Buddha.
And since the person you are very
much the ego-self in relation to
your unmanifest higher soul-self
(see The
Divine Counterpart), then you
lose yourself by becoming the "good
ground" within
which the embryonic image of your
higher soul-self has been planted
(see Sower
And The Seed) -- and as you find
and become your True Self, you will
be working to bring about that
condition where your True Self can
then return to its Source -- which
is Creator-God.

The Shepherd of Hermas
was one of the most popular
books produced in the early
Christian Church, and up
until the fourth century,
was frequently quoted and
regarded as inspired. The
book is a picturesque
religious allegory, in most
of which a rugged figure
dressed like a shepherd is
Hermas' guide. The purpose
of The Shepherd was to call
clergy and laity responsible
for grave disorders in the
Roman culture to penance.
Because present-day
Christianity is imbued with
these same Roman cultural
disorders, the Shepherd is
as appropriate today as when
it was written. |

The Jewish Scribes and
lawyers had a perfect
theological knowledge of the
Old Testament but Jesus
said,
“Woe unto you, for ye have
taken away the key of
knowledge!” The idea
that Jesus condemned the
Scribes and Pharisees
because they did not believe
in him in the manner
proclaimed by modern
Christians, has absolutely
no basis in biblical fact.
When it is realized that the
original Gospel accounts
portrayed Jesus as a man who
fulfilled the Law within
himself to become the
Anointed (see
TheTenWords.com ) -- and
that the Virgin Birth
account which was a later
addition, is purely
allegorical, and was not
part of the original Gospels
(see
Virgin Birth) -- then a
totally different Gospel
objective begins to
emerge. And in not
understanding the original
objectives that very quickly
became altered and
corrupted, the Christian
world has itself thrown away
the Key of Knowledge. |

What if you are not your
real or true self? And if
you preserve and attempt to
save that which is false,
that you will have
squandered your life away?
What if what is often
portrayed as the ego-self,
is the person you are in
this world, while the true
self exists at a deeper
level of mind and being and
cannot easily manifest in
the person whose thinking,
mindset and lifestyle is
founded upon the temporal
cultures and lifestyles of
this world? And what if
when Jesus makes reference
to the blind, deaf and those
incapable of understanding
with any depth of
comprehension, it is in
reference to those who are
carnal and anchored to this
world -- which condition of
mind is that portrayed as
dwelling in what Jesus said
was the
"outer
darkness" of mind and
being? And what if beyond
the barrier of the inner
wall of consciousness where
the true self dwells, all
truths were seen and known
in the Light of a naked
reality? Why, all of a
sudden the enigmas of
knowing one's self, losing
the self in this world, and
ones search for the Kingdom
within, would suddenly be
understood from a totally
different perspective than
it is today. |
