Begin Again

It's New Year's Eve, 2015. So, what does the New Year hold for the seeking human-being?

Many wait until the first day of January to try and make changes in their life. They resolve to do this or that, they vow to drop old habits to make way for new ones. It is a good feeling to start over, at least for a little while. Then comes the actual work of holding fast to those resolutions and, in the majority of cases, failure inevitably follows.

In dejection, these ones throw up their hands in surrender and give themselves over to their habits. Feeling like helpless failures, recognizing the power of their masters, they resign themselves to another year of enslavement.

"For I do not know what I do; and I do not do the thing which I want, but I do the thing which I hate" - Romans 7:15

It does not have to be this way.

Each new day is a chance for us to begin again, an opportunity to make ourselves new. Failure only means that you have not yet succeeded. To give in to failure is to give up on one's self.

In the matter of walking the Path of Return, there will be many times when we will stumble and fall. This is to be anticipated, as the Way we have chosen is alien to anything we have done before while incarnate. Do not be discouraged, do not give up and return to the old ways, taking the path of least resistance. A baby learns to walk only after many unsuccessful (and oftentimes humorous) attempts. So, too, must those who have chosen The Path of the True Way continue to do whatever it takes to bring the Journey to a good end.

Every failure is an impetus to drive us to a future success. Every success provides yet another firm foothold for us to anchor ourselves as we continue the journey Home. The following cannot be emphasized enough: Try, try and keep trying. Lift your eyes to the Hills from whence your Help will come. The Brotherhood watches over and guides those who have taken up their Cross. We do not walk alone. Take heart in the knowledge of that fact and dare always to Begin Again.

all love,

The Folly Of The Transfigurist

The following is in keeping with the recent theme of gnostic 'foolishness'. ~ g

[QUOTING]

The individual magnetic field of man is one with that of the Earth, so that in more than one sense he finds his center of gravity in this world. He is controlled by the Earth's magnetism; his whole life and strivings, his works and desires, are characterized by this dependence: he is of the earth, earthly.

...it is of no interest to the Transfigurist which economic system is to become the life-system of man now or in the future, which point of view man will take in any field of endeavor in this nature-order, or in which way man colors his mode of life with respect to factors of religion, occultism or humanism; for the Transfigurist is completely dedicated to a total liberation from this field of nature!

One cannot imagine a more radical person than the Transfigurist. The radical natural type strives for some change by force in the economic, social or political arena, i.e., a change on the horizontal level. The Transfigurist, however, wishes to keep entirely away from this horizontal plane by means of a powerful, self-revolutionary intervention within his own being.

Transfigurists are very scarce in this world. When we say this, you will probably point in amazement to the great development of our School with its many pupils. But we must then point out that by far the majority of us cannot as yet be called Transfigurists. To be interested in the developmental plan of the School of the Rosycross and orientate oneself completely as to what the School presents, does not mean to realize fully this working-plan in one's life. You will understand that there is a considerable difference.

People will say to you: 'Transfigurism is a classic form of insanity which appears from time to time in the world's history.' -- 'Transfigurism is extreme absurdity and scientifically impossible.' Or people will assert: 'The only thing one can reasonably hope for is to reach a certain high goal by one form of culture or another.' And people will then refer you to various cultural acquisitions which appear tto completely confirm this statement.

If you do not stand firmly upon both your feet, then you will turn away from the School and, when asked: 'Weren't you also a member?', you will blush with shame and, untruthfully, you will say: 'Not me, where did you get that idea?' Peter's denial is an ever-recurring occurrence with pupils in the forecourt. And yet, Transfigurists, with their signature of folly, are in very good company!

-- Jesus stands before the Sanhedrin, the General Synod of His time. They call him a dangerous fool ... and Jesus is silent.

-- Paul stands before Festus, the governor. He has given an exposition of Transfigurism to the governor. Promptly comes the reaction on the part of the Roman: 'You are raving!' ... and Paul remains silent.

-- Listen to Augustine fulminating against the Manicheans! Hear how he puts them in the most ridiculous light ... but the Manichean brothers keep silent. How could they have said anything without a basis for mutual understanding?

-- And have you read of what the Albigensians (the Cathars) were accused, of their 'extreme and dangerous folly', as it was called? Almost a whole nation was massacred, but the Albigensian brothers themselves ... they were silent.

Transfigurism must, of natural necessity, be an absurdity to all those belonging to this nature-order. The world oozes religious fervor , but the fundamental religion of Liberation is considered an absurdity. This is the signature of dialectics. Think of the famous words of Paul in the first epistle to the Corinthiams:

'For the word of the Cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart. Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this Age? Has not the Gnosis made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the Wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For the foolishness of the Gnosis is wiser than men'.

So we can conclude that the heresy of Transfigurism is in very good company.

Such a heretic is a fool, a nonsense-talker, one gone astray: he is absorbed in the folly of the Cross; and this foolishness only makes eminent and logical sense, this folly only becomes a majestic power for those able to understand and ready to carry the Cross of Transfiguration. The Transfigurist therefore wastes not a single word on those who stand full of ambition in this nature-order. He will keep silent, without uttering a word in his defense, without a word of compromise or concession.

For this reason our addresses are delivered to those of whom one can assume comprehends the reasonable basis of Gnostic foolishness to some degree. The world offers abundant evidence that it is unable to find 'God in the Wisdom of God' through its formidable worldly wisdom. We therefore disassociate ourselves from the world in order to immerse ourselves in Another Reality, free of all dialectical-philosophical working hypotheses.

Welcome, Fool

Those who seek Liberation are considered fools in the eyes of the world.

Why so? We are fools because we have chosen to walk a Path that requires seekers to withdraw from the world. The aims of the Path are the eradication of the "I", the rebirth of the 'the Other One' within and the Final Liberation of the microcosm from the Wheel of Death and Rebirth.

What foolishness! Why would one want to erase himself or herself? Who or what is this 'the Other One'? Liberation from what? How is it even possible to take leave of the world or to be "born again"? What nonsense, what rubbish, what foolishness.

Those who have made their peace with the world prove that they are not ready to take Heaven by storm. To these ones, all efforts to escape this nature-order will appear to be folly.

Those who, after repeated lives of suffering and disappointment, have reached the nadir of existence in this nature-order are the ones who may finally choose to seek Liberation via transfiguration, via the ancient alchemical method.

For those who are not ready, there is no real shame. Someday in the near or distant future, they will tire of the material world and turn the eyes of their souls towards the stars.

For those who feel that they are ready, be sure to ask yourself if this is what you truly desire. If the answer to that question is yes, then we welcome you as both a fool and a fellow traveler.

"For God has chosen the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and he has chosen the weak of the world to shame the mighty" -- Cor 1:27

You're in good company.

Teachings Of An Elder To The Brothers Of Light

 

What follows is for your contemplation and action.

 

Please note that "Satan" means "adversary" and is a reference to the powers of the aeons of this nature that rule the hearts and minds of men, not some guy with horns and a pitchfork ~ g

 

"Three are the dwellings of the Son of Man, and no one may come before the face of God who knows not the angel of Peace in each of the three. These are: his Body, his Thoughts, and his Feelings. When the angel of Wisdom guides his thoughts, when the angel of Love purifies his feelings, and when the deeds of his body reflect both love and wisdom, then does the angel of Peace guide him unfailingly to the throne of his Heavenly Father. And he should pray without ceasing that the power of Satan with all his diseases and uncleannesses may be cast out of all of his three dwellings; that Power and Wisdom and Love may reign in his body, his thoughts, and his feelings.

 

* * *

 

"First shall the Son of Man seek peace with his own Body; for his body is as a mountain pond that reflects the sun when it is still and clear; but when it is full of mud and stones, it reflects nothing. First must Satan be cast out of the body, that the angels of God may enter again and dwell therein. Truly, no peace can reign in the body unless it is as a temple of the Holy Law.

Therefore, when he who suffers with pains and grievous plagues asks for your help, tell him to renew himself with fasting and with prayer. Tell him to invoke the angel of sun, the angel of water, and the angel of air, that they may enter his body and cast out of it the power of Satan. Show him the baptism within, and the baptism without. Tell him always to eat of the table of our Earthly Mother, spread with her gifts: the fruits of the trees, the grasses of the fields, the milk of beasts good for eating, and the honey of bees. He shall not invoke the power of Satan by eating the flesh of beasts, for he who kills, kills his brother, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats the body of death. Tell him to prepare his food with the fire of life, not the fire of death, for the living angels of the living God serve only living men.

 

"And though he sees them not, and hears them not, and touches them not, still is he every moment surrounded by the power of God's angels. While his eyes and ears are closed by ignorance of the Law and thirst for the pleasures of Satan, he will not see them, nor hear them, nor touch them. But when he fasts and prays to the living God to cast out all the diseases and uncleannesses of Satan, then will his eyes and ears be opened, and he will find peace.

 

"For not only he suffers who harbors the diseases of Satan within him, but his mother, his father, his wife, his children, his companions, these suffer also, for no man is an island unto himself, and the powers that flow through him, whether they be of the angels or of Satan, truly these powers do unto others for good or for evil.

 

* * *

"For to no other creature in the kingdom of the Earthly Mother is it given the power of Thought, for all beasts that crawl and birds that fly, live not of their own thinking but of the one Law that governs all. Only to the Sons of Men is it given the power of thought, even that thought that can break the bonds of death. Do not think because it cannot be seen, that thought has no power. I tell you truly, the lightning that cleaves the mighty oak, or the quaking that opens up cracks in the earth, these are as the play of children compared with the power of thought. Truly each thought of darkness, whether it be of malice, or anger, or vengeance, these wreak destruction like that of fire sweeping through dry kindling under a windless sky. But man does not see the carnage, nor does he hear the piteous cries of his victims, for he is blind to the world of the spirit.

 

"But when this power is guided by holy Wisdom, then the thoughts of the Son of Man lead him to the heavenly kingdoms and thus is paradise built on earth; then it is that your thoughts uplift the souls of men, as the cold waters of a rushing stream revive your body in the summer heat.

 

"When first a fledgling bird tries to fly, his wings cannot support him, and he falls again and again to earth. But he tries again and one day he soars aloft, leaving earth and his nest far behind. So is it with the thoughts of the Sons of Men. The longer he walks with the angels and keeps their Law, so do the stronger his thoughts become in holy Wisdom. And I tell you truly, that day will come when his thoughts will overcome even the kingdom of death and soar to everlasting life in the heavenly kingdoms; for with their thoughts guided by holy Wisdom do the Sons of Men build a bridge of light thereby to reach God.

 

* * *

 

"Then shall the Son of Man seek peace with his own Feelings; that his family may delight in his loving kindness, even his father, his mother, his wife, his children, and his children's children. For the Heavenly Father is a hundred times greater than all fathers by seed and by blood, and the Earthly Mother is a hundred times greater than all mothers by the body, and your true brothers are all those who do the will of your Heavenly Father and of your Earthly Mother, and not your brothers by blood.

"Even so, shall you see the Heavenly Father in your father by seed, and your Earthly Mother in your mother by the body, for are not these also children of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother? Even so shall you love your brothers by blood as you love all your true brothers who walk with the angels, for are not these also children of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother?

"I tell you truly, it is easier to love those newly met, than those of our own house, who have known our weaknesses, and heard our words of anger, and seen us in our nakedness, for they know us as we know ourselves, and we are ashamed. Then shall we call on the angel of Love to enter into our feelings, that they be purifiers And all that was before impatience and discord, will turn to harmony and peace, as the parched ground drinks in the gentle rain and becomes green and soft, tender with new life.

"For many and grievous are the sufferings of the Sons of Men when they cleave not to the angel of Love. Truly, a man without love casts a dark shadow on everyone he meets, most of all those with whom he lives; his harsh and angry words fall on his brothers like fetid air rising from a stagnant pool. And he suffers most who speaks them, for the darkness that encloses him invites Satan and his devas.

 

* * *

 

"In our Heavenly Father's realm there are many mansions, and many are the hidden things you cannot know of yet. I tell you truly, the kingdom of our Heavenly Father is vast, so vast that no man can know its limits, for there are none. Yet the whole of his kingdom may be found in the smallest drop of dew on a wild flower, or in the scent of newly-cut grass in the fields under the summer sun. Truly, there are no words to describe the kingdom of the Heavenly Father.

 

"Glorious, indeed, is the inheritance of the Son of Man, for to him only is it given to enter the Stream of Life which leads him to the kingdom of his Heavenly Father. But first he must seek and find peace with his Body, with his Thoughts, with his Feelings, with the Sons of Men, with Holy Knowledge, and with the kingdom of the Earthly Mother. For I tell you truly, this is the vessel which will carry the Son of Man on the Stream of Life to his Heavenly Father. He must have peace that is sevenfold before he can know the one peace which surpasses understanding, even that of his Heavenly Father.

 

"But when he calls on the angel of Love, then is the darkness dispersed, and the Light of Sunshine streams from him, and the colors of the rainbow swirl about his head, and gentle rain falls from his fingers, and he brings peace and strength to all those who draw near to him.

 

* * *

 

Long ago, before the Great Flood, the Great Ones walked the earth, and the giant trees, even those which now are no more than legend, were their home and their kingdom. They lived many score of generations, for they ate from the table of the Earthly Mother, and slept in the arms of the Heavenly Father, and they knew not disease, old age, nor death. To the Sons of Men did they bequeath all the glory of their kingdoms, even the hidden knowledge of the Tree of Life which stands in the middle of the Eternal Sea.

"But the eyes of the Sons of Men were blinded by the visions of Satan, and by promises of power, even that power which conquers by might and by blood. And then did the Son of Man sever the golden threads that bound him to his Earthly Mother and his Heavenly Father; he stepped from the Holy Stream of Life where his body, his thoughts, and his feelings were one with the Law, and began to use only his own thoughts, his own feelings, and his own deeds, making hundreds of laws, where before there was only One.

 

And so did the Sons of Men exile themselves from their home, and ever since have they huddled behind their stone walls, hearing not the sighing of the wind in the tall trees of the forests beyond their towns.

 

* * *

 

"Always have the Brothers of Light lived where rejoice the angels of the Earthly Mother: near rivers, near trees, near flowers, near the music of birds; where sun and rain may embrace the body, which is the Temple of the Spirit. Nor do we have ought to do with the edicts of rulers; neither do we uphold them, as our law is the Law of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother; neither do we oppose them, for no one rules save by the will of God. Rather do we strive to live according to the Holy Law and strengthen always that which is good in all things; then will the kingdom of darkness be changed to the Kingdom of Light; for where there is  Light, how then can darkness remain?

Moment Of Awakening - Conclusion

[QUOTING]

As the new reality comes fully into human consciousness (at that moment when the Creator’s luminous field comes into perfect alignment with the Earth Mother), all illusion of a destructive nature will be dissolved. Though there have been many centuries leading up to this Moment, when the Moment comes, it will be decisive.

There will be a great shift then, a Single Moment of quantum awakening. In this Moment, the smallest interval of time measured in these dimensions – the interval that occurs in every atom between each of its billions of oscillations per second – will be lengthened unto Infinity. An interval of non-time will expand. Through that expansion, Eternity will flow. Some will experience this Moment as minutes or hours, others as a lifetime. Still others will experience this flash of non-time as a succession of many lives, and some few will, in this Moment, know the Nagual itself, the great nameless Presence that exists before and after all these worlds.

In the expanse of the non-time interval, human beings will have all the time they require to realize, experience, and remember the full consciousness of their eternal Spirits and the recall the origin of their individuality in the primordial fields of being. All will have ample time to recharge their form identity and its biological projection with the awareness of who they are, why they have individualized, and why they have chosen to associate with this planet’s human expression. Each one will have the choice to return to biological form or to remain in the fields of discarnate awareness.

Those who choose to return to human form will do so fully aware of who they are. No longer will they be but partially incarnate; they will resume biological residence with the full memory and consciousness of their eternal natures, sharing the creative capacities of the Star Maker, whose reflective cells they will know themselves to be.

Subconscious orientation in Fear will be replaced by conscious orientation in Love. The sudden release of power, as the polarity of the collective human emotional field shifts from outer to inner orientation, cannot be avoided, no matter how smoothly we seek to guide this transition. All will feel an unmistakable surge of power in the instant of quantum awakening. This is as inevitable as the daily rotation of the earth’s continents into and out of the light of the sun.

But the effects? The implications? There is no way to predict them. They depend on the choices you make today.

By extrapolating current trends of consciousness we can establish a probable range of effects. But there may be as many as eight billion people incarnate at that moment, each with complete freedom of choice. And though the choices each one makes in his or her lifetime prior to that Moment will certainly predispose that person in one direction or another, there are no guarantees, no assurances.

The spiritual polarity of collective human consciousness did shift once before, triggering a reversal of the earth’s magnetic field, a shifting in the position of the poles, and a great deal of destruction. However, that shift was a shift from consciousness to sub-consciousness (~ g: referring here to Atlantis).

We will have a degree of control during this conscious shift that was absent then and so do not expect the same sort of cataclysmic shock waves. Still, it would be under-estimating the variables to assume that earth changes will not accompany The Event. Almost certainly, some will. These will be for the most part of a benevolent nature – a melting of the polar ice caps, for example, bringing rain to arid regions and helping to cleanse toxins from polluted lakes and rivers, a warming and simultaneous moistening of climate that will open to agriculture the extensive plains and fertile river valleys of Greenland, Antarctica, and certain of the world’s deserts.

To minimize the trauma of this moment both for you and for other members of the human family, it is important that you prepare for it well ahead of time, establishing the habits that will leave your self-understanding fluid, relaxed, and trusting in the overall benevolence of the Universe and its resident Intelligence.

The best way to prepare for any future moment in time is to be fully in your present moment now.

From Chapter 14 of "The Third Millenium" by Ken Carey (1991)

Moment Of Awakening

The following is an excerpt from "The Third Millenium" by Ken Carey, published in 1991.

[QUOTING]

At the moment of quantum awakening, change will occur rapidly, rippling across the terrestrial surface like a wave. Everything in the earth's gravitational field will be affected in some way.

This will be a time of massive change, of change on a scale that has no historical precedent...deep and fundamental, massive though these present changes are, they will occur within the span of a just single human life.

Within your lifetime, you will witness revelations that will show the foolishness of much that was once deemed wise. You will watch as traditions and historical habit patterns once assumed to be survival imperatives are discovered to be detriments to a healthy life and a healthy society.

Those who incarnate now, those who bring the fullness of their eternal talents, attributes, and perspectives into today's people, are the Agents of Healing. They alone have it in their power to experience this awesome time of Transition as glorious or traumatic. Every individual who becomes a clear and undistorted channel for Eternal Love in these times offsets a thousand who remain locked in the dissolving values of the old.

The future, as always, holds an element of surprise. Yet some things are as certain as the movement of the stars.

A mother never knows exactly what hour she will give birth to her child, but she has a "due date", an approximate time when the baby is expected and will most likely be born. For millenia now, there have been those in various traditions of both East and West who have known that the Earth has a due date sometime during the second decade of the 21st century. Though there will be much awakening of individuals prior to to the first unified movement of the awakened planetary organism, this movement, like a first breath, will occur in but a single moment.

Babies are sometimes born early, sometimes late. So be aware, be vigilant. Do not discount the possibility that The Moment might come as a thief in the night. And do not be among the foolish who will wait until the last moment to come to terms with the rising awareness. This is to be an important occasion.

It is THE Event that is central to all human history.

Our emphasis for many thousands of years has been and continues to be to prepare you for this Single Moment. For though the changes will be dramatic, they need not be traumatic. Though they will bring a fundamental human revisioning of reality's nature, this need not be perceived as threatening. Essentially, it is a positive and joyous event. The consciousness that will ultimately emerge will be the consciousness of the Eternal One, the Creator, the Being of Life, awake and aware for the first time in a material universe.

Human circuitry is designed to accommodate this consciousness, In much the same way that your individual cells understand their relationship to you, each awakened human being understands him- or herself in hologramatic awareness to this Unified Field of Awareness.

Since this perception of self differs significantly from historical perception, its emergence in collective human consciousness presents the potential for disorientation in those who might react to its coming in fear. We wish to maximize enjoyment and minimize discomfort for all concerned. If human beings understand more fully what is occurring, they will be less likely to react in ways that would cause them unnecessary discomfort.

Regardless of whether one accepts this change or attempts to back away from it, this event will be of greater power than any the earth has ever seen. More energy will be released in a very few moments than is typically released upon the surface of the earth in many years. This energy will take the form of heightened perception and deepened emotional connection, rejoining the individual and God.

Responses For A Distraught Entity

This post responds to a comment left here.

My friend,

The world we see around us is a result of humanity's collective poor decision-making over many thousands of years. What a man thinks, he shall become. We have the world that we have because we have made it so via the wrong-thinking of the many prior personalities that have lived in our microcosms in the past. You, as the current personality to inhabit your microcosm, have the opportunity to break this Chain of Error.

Nothing can "make you" do anything. You lash out at the world because you choose to do so. That is the manner in which you express your frustration at not understanding.

As to being a "temporary vessel for a trapped Spark", it is more accurate to state that we are an instrumentarium of our Divine Spark for use in attempting to reunite with Spirit so as to regain our Divine birthright of Immortality. Notice that the word used is "regain", as in restoring to ourselves something that was lost. If the current personality fails in that attempt, it will be dissolved and a new personality will be inserted into the microcosm to try again. This is the root cause that lies behind the twin phenomena known as death and re-birth (reincarnation).

Divine Love is different from human 'love'. Human love is conditional and changeable. "I will love you until you do something that I don't like. Then I will not love you anymore". Divine Love is constant, impersonal and freely bestowed upon all human races. "The Sun shines on both good and bad alike". It is man's turning away from the Love of the Father that is the cause of man's problems. When man makes the conscious, voluntary decision to Think, Desire and Act in line with the Will of the Father, his troubles will pass away like a bad dream.

There is no such thing as 'nothing'. As the classical Rosicrucians so wisely reiterated, "There Is No Empty Space". Every micrometer of God's universe is alive with Life. You cannot perceive this Life because your five physical senses limit your perception to that which is of the physical realm.

What occurred on 9/11 was orchestrated by the servants of entities who are currently in control of the physical world. These entities are extremely intelligent and diabolically cunning. They are experts in human nature and have eons of experience in manipulating human races. For that reason, we will never find out the full truth behind 9/11, or Pearl Harbor, or the 7/7 metro bombings, or the Challenger disaster, or the triumvirate of political assassinations of the '60's (JFK, MLK and RFK), when a calculated effort was made to demoralize and crush the hope of humanity via brutal murder.

Please be advised that it does not matter if we never find out the truth about these things. It is enough to know that we are continually required to return and experience in an environment controlled by the archons and aeons of this nature. What is most important is that each man and woman free himself or herself from the control of these entities, many of whom mankind itself is responsible for creating.

As for knowing the ultimate Truths, true "knowing" comes from within. True Knowing is not something one learns in a book. True Knowing is actually Remembrance. Due to the fact that your microcosm has hosted hundreds of personalities over many thousands of years, you have been, in a microcosmic sense, a material witness to all that has happened to humanity over that time period, including the rise and fall of Atlantis and the periodic flood disasters that submerged her, as well as all things prior. Those memories are stored within your lipika but are currently inaccessible to you due to the veil that has been put in place to obscure those soul memories.

The 'real' you is not the personality. The 'real' you is the Consciousness that infuses the personality. Close your eyes and stop up your ears. Can you see your body? No. Can you hear anything? No. Are you still there? Yes. Please remember the following: you have a body; you are not your body.

The way to Know Truth is via the Intuition. Intuition is the Soul's voice. It is the Voice of the Silence. If one works to purify their Thinking, Willing and Acting, one will begin to recognize when that Voice is speaking and will know via a certain resonant feeling whether a thing is True or not.

To answer your last question, once the aim of the Gnosis is understood / remembered and its Path accepted, all doubts/uncertainties flee like smoke. This is the power of Remembrance.

True Knowledge is like turning on a floodlight in a pitch-dark room. While the room is in darkness, one is in constant fear of bumping into something or having something reach out to attack or do harm. Every sound one hears conjures wild imaginings, every step taken is timid and halting. One's entire being is immersed in a constant terror.

Once the floodlight is turned on, one knows everything about the room. One realizes that there are no creatures ready to reach out and attack. One can identity all sounds and their origins. Each step is taken with surety and confidence because one can see clearly the direction in which one is headed. One realizes that the feelings of fear and trepidation stemmed from not-knowing and that, in reality, there had never been anything to fear at all.

If one wishes to be truly free of such Fear, then one's first step is to gain much-needed insight.

all love,

Hiding In Plain Sight

The New Testament is a gnostic document written in a cipher that is impenetrable to those who do not have the Gnostic Key. It was written this way in order to preserve the deep gnostic truths that were embedded in its gospels, epistles and letters.

The enemies of the Gnosis have worked hard throughout the centuries to mutilate, defile and deface the Holy Language of all ages and origins. By modifying a word here or there, by improper translation and sometimes outright fabrication, a supreme effort has been made to re-direct the pure intent of these works so as to make it very difficult for the Seeker to locate the Truth that was left for him or her to find.

What is the Gnostic Key, as it pertains to the New Testament? The Key is this:

...the entire New Testament is a symbolic treatise on the Path of Return.

It consists of the following:

a. a roadmap symbolically describing the Path of Return (the four Gospels)

b. teachings for those who are preparing to walk the Path or already on the Path (the Epistles, and Letters)

c. teachings for those on the Path who have chosen to share the Light of the Gnosis with the world (Acts of the Apostles)

d. a heavily-veiled description of the process leading to Final Liberation (The Book of Revelation)

Remember, the Gnosis and the Path of Return have been with humanity since the dawn of this Day of Manifestation. The opportunity for Liberation is always available for those who make the decision to truly seek the Path and are willing to accept all the consequences of that decision. In the centuries that lie behind us, there was no TV, radio or internet. There were no books in wide circulation until the invention of the printing press. The first book to be printed in any sort of volume was The Bible. For most people, the Bible was the only book in their home. In reality, it is truly the only book that mankind needs.

The only way to keep Christ's message of Liberation from matter and of Return to the Divine Kingdom alive during the times of persecution by the Roman Church was to embed its true meaning within the New Testament, in a cipher that would place these Divine Truths beyond the ability of the profane to recognize or understand. Because of this, all attempts to erase these Truths have failed, as the Jewel of the Gnosis continues to shine as bright as ever beneath the soil that has been heaped upon it.

The reason that the New Testament has fallen into disrepute is due to the purposeful mutilation that has taken place over the centuries. This mutilation has created a Doctrine of Error that has been commissioned and reinforced by the Vatican and the Jesuits, who send their "priests" into the world to teach the false doctrine that all one has to do is "believe" in a man who lived 2,000 years ago and one will be "saved" or "born again". No work involved. They teach the surface of what is written in the New Testament and go no further. These surface teachings are just words to the listener and have no value because they produce no lasting results. And so the listener gives up, and falls into apathy or worse, atheism.

Below is a synopsis of how The Path from Bethlehem to Golgotha is symbolized in the Four Gospels:

(1) Birth in Bethlehem - The Candidate awakens the Spirit-Spark atom, the Rosebud, the Divine Spark.

(2) John the Baptist - The Candidate begins the Endura (dying as to nature) in order to "make straight the Paths" for the return of the Spirit. The purified New Soul is born.

(3) Baptism at the Jordan - The Gnosis becomes a certainty in the blood; the Spirit descends upon the Candidate as a dove. Spirit & New Soul reunite.

(4) Beheading of John the Baptist - the Johannine man has completed his duty. He has prepared the way. The Jesus-man now takes over the process of transmutation and transfiguration.

(5) Transfiguration on the Mount - The alchemical change takes place via the agency of the Spirit-Soul. A divine set of vehicles is created, unseen to physical eyes.

(6) Crucifixion - The Candidate "crucifies" all physical desires upon the Cross of Matter on the hill of Golgotha ("the Place of the Skull"); also represents the discarding of the physical body.

(7) Resurrection - The Candidate is Reborn as The Heavenly, Transfigured New Man. Lowest vehicle is now the etheric double, which cannot be seen by those with ordinary physical vision.

(8) Ascension - The Initiate achieves Final Liberation and departs the physical plane. Physical rebirth is no longer mandatory or necessary, unless the Initiate volunteers to do so in service to his fallen brothers and sisters.

There's much more symbolism in the Gospels but those are the main points. That is the Gnostic Path of Return from Bethlehem (the Heart, the Spirit-spark) to Golgotha (the Head, the pinealis).

"For this is the whole sum of our Laws: those are nearest and most like unto us who do make the Bible the rule of their life, the end of all their studies, and the compendium of the Universal World, from whom we require not that it should be continually in their mouth, but that they should appropriately apply its true interpretation to all the Ages of the world.

Some make sport of Scripture as if it were a tablet of wax to be indifferently made use of by theologians, philosophers, doctors and mathematicians. Be it rather ours to bear witness, that from the beginning of the World there hath not been given to man a more excellent, admirable and wholesome book than the Holy Bible.

Blessed is he who possesses it, more blessed is he who reads it, and most blessed of all is he who truly understands it, while he is most like unto God who both understands and obeys it".
