"To Die In Christ"

"Now if we have died with Christ..." (Rom. 6:8);

"If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world..." (Col. 2:20);

"For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God" (Col. 3:3);

"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

What does it mean "to die in Christ"?

To understand this phrase one must acknowledge that Christ was not the last name of a man who walked the earth 2,000 years ago and is now wickedly and erroneously worshipped as a "god". The word "Christ" comes from the Greek "Kristos" which comes from the ancient Sumerian word "Kiristi". All of these words have "anointing" at the root of their definitions and all of them pre-date the time of Jesus. To anoint is to apply an ointment, an unguent or a salve. The purpose of an ointment is to serve as a balm, a healer, a rejuvenator, a restorative.

"The Christ" is not a man but a mighty cosmic radiation from a cosmic domain (the 6th) above and outside of the 7th cosmic domain in which we now experience. When this Divine radiation makes contact with the microcosmic heart-principle of a human being who voluntarily calls for and accepts It, an anointing takes place and a healing of the microcosm begins. We call this heart-principle, the Rosebud or Divine Spark. As a result of this contact, the candidate is once again connected with the Gnosis, the Living Knowledge of God. The way is prepared for him or her to follow the Path of Return. The candidate "dies" as to the things of the material world and proceeds to live out of the Christ vibration. He or she has "died in Christ".

If such a one were to physically die while actively and sincerely walking the Path of Liberation, that one is also said to have "died in Christ". This because he or she has transitioned while still linked with the Gnosis, the Christ radiation. After physical death, such a soul does not travel to the reflection-sphere for gradual dissolution, but is taken up into Shamballa, a vacuum of pure ethers that exists to provide a haven for those candidates who pass on while undergoing the process of Transfiguration. In Shamballa, the transmutation and building of the New Soul continues without obstruction, until the candidate ultimately reaches the Goal - reunification with Spirit and the restoration of the divine Spirit-Soul-Body tri-unity.

The verse above from 1 Thessalonians has always been horribly misunderstood. The Adversary - the orthodox church - has made no effort to correct the error in interpretation. As it is read today, the verse implies that on The Last Day, skeleton bones and rotting flesh will break out of their graves and return to life and walk amongst mankind, a horrific distortion of the Truth and one that has inspired scorn and mocking for centuries.

The resurrection of the flesh is not what is implied or meant by this verse. Remember that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God". It is the "resurrection" of the residents of Shamballa that this verse is referring to. Those who have died while engaged in walking the Path. They will be taken up and moved to one of the Father's "many mansions" before any candidates who are in the flesh. The reason is simple: they are already in the purified etheric realm that is in harmony with the vibration of the Divine Kingdom, the 6th Cosmic Domain. The Christ radiations will sweep through the etheric realms first before making its final stop in the physical realm.

Yes, the "dead in Christ" shall rise first, preceding all those who are still in the flesh. If you have understood any of the foregoing, perhaps you will have gained some small insight, some slight understanding of how important it is for us to begin the process of Transfiguration while we are in the flesh, here on earth. By doing so, our so-called deaths will not be in vain, as we will continue this glorious transformative process "on the other side". Not in the unholy reflection-sphere, where fraud and illusion reign, but in the purified and pristine realm of Shamballa, the interim Realm of Peace that awaits all those who, having heard The Call while in the nature-of-death, follow that Call beyond so-called death into the New Life Field.
