The Gnostic Key To The Bible

The Christ is a powerful astral radiation from a higher astral realm, the Sixth Cosmic Domain. It emanates from the Divine Kingdom and possesses a higher vibration than the radiations of our physical plane (the Seventh Cosmic Domain). This mighty astral radiation periodically descends into the physical plane, then withdraws. Other names for this radiation are Christos, Kiristi (Sumerian), Krishna and Gnosis.

When this Divine vibration descends into the physical plane, it must find a physical space to inhabit in order to go about its purifying work. The challenge inherent in this task is brought about by the fact of the universal law of "like attracts like". The Aquarian radiations must find a physical temple of like-vibration in which it can take up residence.

This is difficult to accomplish in the natural-world during periods and epochs where man has lost his way and wanders in ignorance. Whenever humanity has descended to its latest nadir, there are few, if any, incarnate human-beings that can be found whose light-vestures vibrate at a level high enough to accommodate the Christine radiations.

For this reason, "sent ones" are periodically inserted into this nature-order by the Universal Chain of Brotherhoods. Briefly, the Universal Chain consists of all those entities who either

a. did not follow their brothers when this portion of the human life-wave "fell" into matter or,

b. did fall, but through steadfastness, faith and works, subsequently obtained liberation from matter.

These entities originate not only from this solar system, but from many others. Their one objective is to assist in the Divine Plan of Salvation, the rescue of all fallen microcosms from the physical plane.

Sent Ones of note from earth's recent past include Hermes Trismegistus (also known as Thoth), Krishna, the Buddha, Jesus the Nazarene. Each of these entities was a Christ, because each of these entities vibrated in harmony with the Christos, the Christ-radiation, the Gnosis. Although their physical shell was composed of the matter of this earth, their microcosms were Light-filled. As such, they acted as vehicles for the Christ-vibration, enabling It to gain a foothold in this dark world. This is what set them apart from the common humanity of their day.

At the end of every world age, major or minor, in advance of the Harvest, a Sent One will appear among mankind. His charge, to sound The Call, to begin the work of gathering the fruit of the Harvest into the barn, the preservation of those microcosms who have obtained the minimum level of affinity with the Christos. The ultimate aim is to deliver this Remnant from the re-cycling of the earth's twin spheres (material and reflection-spheres). We have reached the end of a major world-cycle of three sidereal years* and the time has come for Harvest.

*a single sidereal year consists of 25,920 earth-years.

For this purpose, the Christ-radiation elected to incarnate among mankind in the physical form of Jesus. The parents, Joseph and Mary, were initiates, members of the gnostic sect known as the Essenes. They were most likely celibate or virginal. They understood that their duty would be to provide the physical vehicle for the Christ-radiation's eventual habitation. The so-called "virgin-birth" should be looked upon as a physical act of love and service performed by Joseph and Mary with the purest of motives and intent. We can also view it as virginal because the microcosm that was to be linked with the physical child, Jesus, did not bear within it any negative karma whatsoever. The orthodox church, which, in fact, has always been an enemy of the Christ, cleverly re-interpreted these facts to create a fairy-tale that has confounded, confused and frustrated human-beings for the past two thousand years.

The child-Jesus began serving at an early age and was raised under the auspices of the Essenes. As a young man he traveled to Egypt to study the gnostic mysteries. These things are omitted from the orthodox Bible. Upon his return from Egypt at the age of thirty, he is "baptized" at the Jordan. This event symbolizes the full awakening of his Divine Spark and the entry of the Seven-Spirit into the head sanctuary.

From the point of this "baptism" going forward, it is the Christ-vibration that is expressing itself through the physical vehicle of the man, Jesus. In essence, the divine Logos took complete possession of that vehicle and used it to bring the doctrine of liberation to mankind.

Now mark the following carefully:

The entire New Testament is a treatise on how to walk the Path of Liberation, written in a strong symbolism that can only be understood if one has the gnostic key. That key is this:

John the Baptist represents the candidate who makes way for "the One who is to come". He is the candidate who has acquired sufficient insight into the truth of the human condition and desperately yearns for salvation.

Jesus represents the candidate who has had his Divine Spark awakened. The Gnostic vibrations enter the head sanctuary, described as the "descent of the Holy Spirit". The purification of the microcosm then begins in earnest. The construction of the "golden wedding-garment", the Light-Vesture of the New Man, has commenced.

The Temptation in the Desert represents how the aeons of this nature will continue to press harder upon the candidate once he has made the decision to be in the world, but not of the world. Here is where the candidate surrenders the self to the Gnosis, remaining steadfastly faithful to the requirements of the Path.

His walk among the people, spreading the doctrine of liberation, healing the sick, performing works represents the new attitude of life, the selfless service that we must all undertake in order to continue to receive the benefits of the Gnostic radiations.

The Road to the Crucifixion represents how the candidate must prevail against the unceasing attacks that the aeons of this nature will undertake against him or her via strangers, friends, family or daily circumstances. As the candidate perseveres through the slings and arrows without responding in the old "I-centric" way, he walks the path of I-demolition. The wants of the the I-being are no longer responded to. This is the process that the Cathars called the endura.

The Crucifixion itself has always been presented as a tragedy, when it is, in fact, a Great Victory. This represents Final Liberation, when the candidate hangs the shroud of the flesh upon the Cross of Matter and "dies" as to this world.

This leads, quite naturally, to the Resurrection, which symbolizes the Rebirth of the Divine Man, the completion of the Divine Plan of Salvation. The Victory can only be won with the voluntary assistance of the human who is able to follow the fivefold gnostic Path of Liberation to a successful conclusion.

The four Gospels, although they differ in certain aspects, contain one and the same symbolism and relay one and the same message. The gospels of Paul and the other books of the New Testament also utilize the same symbolism. The Apostles spread the Word as it had been given to them, as they had been charged to do. They succeeded in a big way, so much so that the reigning powers of church-and-state during the decades and centuries after the departure of the Christed One worked tirelessly to ruthlessly crush all gnostic interpretations of the Word and all followers of the True Path.

The Key to the New Testament is that it is not merely a story about an exceptional human-being, it is about you. It is about you and what you must do to become a Christ. The entity Jesus, in an act of supreme sacrifice, lived His life in such a way that the story of Liberation could never be suppressed. The intent of the Adversary was to eradicate all traces of His work and damage what they could not erase. The intent of the Universal Brotherhood has always been to ensure that this Truth would live among men right until the present day, when its revelation of Grace would be needed the most by a lost humanity approaching the end of this Age.

Pick up the New Testament and blow off the dust. Discard the erroneous church teachings and begin reading it anew, this time with the Gnostic Key. You should find a whole new revelation awaiting you. As the classical Rosicrucians once maintained when speaking of the Bible*

* excluding the five books of Moses and the historical books, but including the entire NT, Genesis, the Psalms and the books of the Prophets.

"For this is the whole sum of our Laws: those are nearest and likest 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".
