The Gnostic Key To The New Testament

Everyone has an opinion about the Bible. Most of these opinions are negative. The rest of them are violently defensive. The reason for the confusion and dismissal of the Bible is due primarily to humanity's tendency to interpret the Bible literally. Because of glaring inconsistencies that are sprinkled throughout the Bible, humanity finds it impossible to reconcile the Bible as "the word of God" and thus throw it in the fire. 

Be advised that over the centuries the Bible has undergone many translations. The enemies of the Gnosis were hard at work strategically inserting land mines into the Bible, modifying language, excluding entire gospels, etc. The result is the confusion that exists today. For example, the New Testament has been seriously damaged by these tactics. What the Adversary does not understand is that there is an entire narrative embedded in the New Testament that has been skillfully hidden within the Gospels. No matter how the prevailing authorities try to maim and deface the glorious message of salvation aimed at humanity, they will not succeed. Truth cannot be erased.

This post will attempt to cut through the sludge and provide a measure of clarity. We will start with the following:

The Bible cannot be understood without the Gnostic Key in hand.

What is the Gnostic Key? It is the key that opens the door of understanding to the gnostic Path of Return. This Path leads to dissolution of the personality and rebirth of the True Soul that lies sleeping within the heart of the microcosmic Spirit-Spark Atom. This is the Path that leads to Liberation from this fallen nature-order.

Since the Fall of Man, this Path was made available to humanity as a way to return to their former Divine Home. We are talking many millions of years. Unfortunately, humanity has been too distracted by the things of this material world to answer the Call that is sounded continuously. This Call is actually a Divine vibration that seeks to re-link with the Spirit-spark Atom of the human-being, which is also Divine in nature. This calling vibration is the Christ-ray, Kristos, as the ancient Greeks named it, long before the man Jesus appeared on the world-stage.

The first guide to using the gnostic key to the New Testament is to understand the over-riding purpose of the New Testament and the symbolism used to achieve that purpose. This post will not attempt to justify or explain any literal interpretations of the New Testament. We are going to focus solely upon the symbolism. In brief:

Birth of the Christ-child: represents the Awakening of the sleeping Divine Spark. This Spirit-Spark Atom is the Divine nucleus of the microcosm. Its location corresponds to the upper right ventricle of the heart. It is not part of the physical heart, it is part of the immortal microcosm. It is likened to a Rose but when it lies dormant, we call it the Rosebud. The stable where the Christ-child is born represents the cave of the human heart - filthy, unkempt and cluttered with the things of this nature.

John the Baptist: represents the human-being who has made the decision to go the Path. Such a one wants to purify the mental, astral, etheric and physical vehicles of the personality in order to create a suitable environment for the forces of the Rose to grow and work within the microcosm. That is why it is said that such a one is "as one crying in the wilderness" striving to "make straight the paths" for "the One Who Is To Come". The latter statement is a symbolic reference to the Other One, the sleeping True Soul within the heart of the microcosm that is endeavoring to re-establish Itself. 

We refer to this representation as "the Johannine man", the John-man. He represents the stage of purification on the Path. Here is where the Rose begins to bloom.

Jesus: symbolizes the Soul-man. He is the candidate on the Path who has succeeded in linking the True Soul with the radiations of the Divine Spirit, thus giving birth to the Spirit-Soul. The Spirit-Soul is the Original True Soul of the fallen Divine human-being. Its destiny is to re-link the True Soul to the Divine Spirit, the substance of the Sophia. The True Soul, emanating from the heart of the candidate, must connect with a Reason, the Divine Spirit.

The Jordan River: represents the blood, also the serpent-fire system.

The Baptism at the Jordan: Here is where the John-man hands over control of the microcosm to the Jesus-man. The candidate has advanced sufficiently on the purifying stage of the Path that he/she voluntary chooses to turn over control of all thinking, willing, feeling and action to the Divine part of him, which is growing ever stronger. 

On the banks of the Jordan, the Jesus-man is anointed ("Kristos" means "to anoint") with water from the Jordan. This water represents the purified blood-state of the candidate. As the Jesus-man is anointed, a dove comes to rest upon his forehead. Doves and eagles are ancient symbols of the Divine Spirit. So, we can see that this baptism symbolizes the radiations of the Divine Spirit re-linking with the newly reborn Soul, the Spirit-Soul. This reunification establishes the candidate on the road to transfiguration. The Spirit-Soul will now seek to unite with the Divine Spirit.  

Once the Jesus-man has been baptized in this manner, he is christened, anointed. He becomes a Christ. 

Shortly after the Baptism on the Jordan, John the Baptist is beheaded. This symbolizes the complete surrender of the John (the Seeking Man) to Jesus (the Soul-Man).

The Christ: the Christ is not a man. It is a mighty inter-cosmic Divine radiation. It is the Second Aspect of the Logos, which is also called The Father. The Christ-ray is called "the Son" because that which issues from a father is the son. Once the Jesus-man accepts this Christ-ray into his/her being, he/she becomes one with the Father ("I and my Father are One").

The literal interpretation of this Sonship has posed problems in understanding from the times of the Pharisees up to the present day. "How can someone claim to be the Son of God?" they cry. 

You just learned how. 

The Temptation in the Desert: the "desert" or "wilderness" always represents the material world, this fallen nature-order. Once the candidate has surrendered the self and the "I" recedes in order to allow the Other One to lead the way, the forces of this nature-order will immediately assemble to place obstacles in his/her way. These obstacles can take the form of appeals to the desire nature of the human-being or to the pride-nature of the "I". The forces of this nature attempt to derail the candidate's journey by repeatedly testing the lower nature, looking to cause a fall.

The Twelve Apostles: represent the twelve cranial nerves. These twelve nerves transmit astral impulses to the entire body. In their fallen state, these nerves respond to the aeonic forces of fallen nature and carry out their orders. The twelve cranial nerves must be purified as well, so that they can carry out the will of the Father, not that of the nature aeons.

Jerusalem: Jerusalem represents the head sanctuary.

The Upper Room: represents the optic thalamus, which is positioned in the mid-brain behind the frontal bone.

The Last Supper: represents the candidate's final farewell to the world of matter.

The Garden of Gethsemane: represents the second thoughts that many candidates have when they realize that in order to achieve liberation from this nature-order, the personality, the "I" must die. Not in the physical sense, but in the sense that the "I" must abdicate its throne and relinquish the leadership of the microcosm to the Other One, the reborn Original True Human-Being.

The Crucifixion: the physical body is hung up on the Cross of Matter. It is nailed there, indicating a permanent loss of action. This represents the death of the "I" and the end of its influence over the thinking, willing, feeling and acting of the personality.

The Resurrection: represents the rebirth of the Original Divine Man. "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He (the old personality) is not here, He (the Divine Human-Being) is risen.".

The Ascension: the liberated microcosm, the newly-Christed personality, takes leave of the world of the senses and returns to the Divine Kingdom.

The enemies of the Gnosis have done their very best to keep the Truth from you. The Universal Gnostic Brotherhood has worked just as hard to protect the Truth by providing it with an impenetrable disguise, one that enables the Truth to "hide in plain sight". You have been given the Key that will be needed to decipher the New Testament. Above all things, you must remember that

- the Christ is not a man, it is a Divine radiation, an inter-cosmic force that surrounds and interpenetrates this planet. 

- After the baptism at the Jordan, everything that the Jesus-man says is actually the Christ-Spirit speaking through him. Any miracles performed are due to the Divine powers of the Christ-ray working through the man Jesus.

- Finally, and most importantly, you must recognize that it is the destiny of all men to also become Christs ("That which I do, you shall do greater things than these"). The Christ, speaking through Jesus, implores humanity to "be My followers". Not followers in the sense of blind sheep, but followers in the sense of people of insight who wish to attain Christhood as well.

It is hoped that the foregoing will be of some use. People ask what is Truth and where can it be found? One place where it can be found is in the New Testament, protected by a disguise, waiting for Man to find the Key that will decrypt the cipher and unlock the door to the Mysteries.

You now have that Key.
