Deism And The
First Amendment: While the Deists were
responsible for laying the Constitutional
foundation that Americans today have inherited,
these same Americans neither understand the
Deists, nor do they understand the full
potential that the Constitution has the inherent
power to bring about in the lives of mankind.
And from both a secular and religious
perspective, this ignorance with respect to the
Deists is the most dangerous force in the world
today. Why? Because many of the core Deists
not only possessed a comprehension of the Laws
which control all aspects of the life that all
people live -- but just as important is the fact
that some of the Deists possessed the body of
esoteric knowledge that the Church threw away
when it entered into a covenant relationship
with Pagan Rome. An Abiding Reality is that
all of Creation and Life is built upon a
Foundation of Immutable Laws -- and success is
often the result of man's endeavor to build upon
this Foundation of Laws a structure which
ensures his success. While the Law of Gravity
is an example of an immutable law which not only
holds man to the surface of the earth -- but
also is part of the equation that holds the
earth in a rotation around the sun -- by
understanding the Law of Gravity, man can devise
various means to escape its limitations.
Moreover, in the case of space travel, man can
harness the very force of gravity as a means of
propulsion. When man made the journey to the
moon, he used the rockets propulsion to break
free of the earth's gravity, and then the moon's
gravity to draw him in that direction. There
is simply no means to carry enough fuel to
propel a spacecraft to a distant location -- and
when the law of gravity is understood, neither
would there be a reason to carry that much
fuel. In much the same way, by understanding
the Higher Laws which control all movements and
realities of this world, the Deists possessed
the knowledge to not only overcome the
limitations of these Laws -- but to utilize the
force of the Laws to bring about their own
Enlightenment. In the same way that gravity
limits man's ability to escape the surface of
the earth, once the Higher Laws of Creation are
understood, the Laws themselves can be utilized
to empower the person with esoteric knowledge
how to escape the limitations of
earth-consciousness. From a Deist perspective,
the First Amendment is a prohibition against
either church or state, from interfering with
this spiritual process and foundation that
enables man to Experience and Know Self -- and
ultimately Know God.
In the same way that
the law of gravity affects every movement and
what man experiences upon the face of the earth,
what the Deists portrayed as the Laws of
Nature and Nature's God, intimately orchestrates
all of man's successes and failures. If you
jump up to escape the earth's gravity, as your
body becomes airborne it will initially appear
that you have achieved success. That is until
your momentum is arrested by the force of
gravity working upon you, and you find your
efforts negated. What is true of gravity is
also true of all the Laws -- but in order to
bring about the necessary learning experiences
through which mankind evolves, the results of
man's efforts in conjunction with the Laws are
not as immediate as with the case of gravity.
Once understood, mostly all of man's efforts are
initially supported by the Laws -- much like the
initial success of jumping up and using one's
natural strength to have both of one's feet off
the ground. And while the force of gravity
will very quickly cause us to become subject to
the Laws and lose upward momentum before we fall
back to the earth, other Laws are designed to
respond back to us in a more gradual cycle.
And this is necessary in order for our efforts
to evolve and the opportunity for the initial
movement to be built upon and compounded, in
order to bring about our greater learning
experience. All movements of man not only
initiate the Laws -- but are subject to the
trials of the Laws as the movement or endeavor
which man initially invokes, evolves through the
steps that are at first supported by the Laws,
and then subject to the sustaining tests which
are brought into being when the Laws were
initially invoked. The Laws, therefore, are
imbued with a natural resistance to man's
movements and endeavors, in order to test the
validity of his movements.
If an embryo were to
be thrust out of its mother's womb one month
after conception, then the embryo would very
quickly perish because it could not sustain life
apart from its mother during that early stage of
development. When the fetus has developed to
the degree where it can sustain life outside the
mother's womb, it is at that point that natural
labor and the process of birth is begun. In
much the same way, this world is very much the
womb of Mother-earth -- and the Laws are
designed to develop the person-fetus and test
for Wholeness and Completion. Therefore, if a
movement, effort or endeavor of man lacks
Wholeness, the Laws are designed to turn man's
efforts back upon themselves, in the form of a
Cosmic Bio-Feedback machine that enables man to
learn from his mistakes and misplaced efforts.
And it is this Living Bio-Feedback essence of
the Laws, that insures the failure of
half-hearted or incomplete efforts. Wise men
who were often enlightened to the
all-encompassing structure of mathematics --
i.e., Pythagoras, Gurdjieff and others --
foresaw the atomic reality that is only now
unfolding in the discoveries of Quantum
Physics. Wise men who understood the esoteric
reality of the Laws, have long pointed to the
example of the Law of Octaves which
systematically permits the building up of an
initial effort, and then tests it to either
divert it back upon itself, or permit it to move
onto the next sequence (see
The Law Of Octaves).
The Law of
Octaves In Brief:
What Mystics such as Pythagoras, Socrates and
Plato, Valentinus, the original disciples of
Jesus, and in more modern times G.I.Gurdjieff
knew, what others do not, is that for every
action there is not only a reaction -- but there
are testing points built into the Laws of
Creation that must be satisfied, in order to
move beyond the barrier that these Laws
present. In the parable of TheCall to the
Wedding Feast, when Jesus portrayed those who
had failed to put on the required Wedding
Garment as being cast into the sorrows of the
"outer darkness"
of mind and being (see
Outer Darkness), the reality portrayed was
that of being bound to the very limited organic
consciousness of the body-vessel -- i.e., bound
by The Law and limited by human carnal reasoning
and logic. And when properly understood, the
analogy of Plato's Cave (see
Plato) portrays the plight of natural
organic man as being held in a state of mental
and spiritual limitation by the illusions of
this world (see above
The Allusions Of The Forms Of Matter).
When the Deist Framers of our Constitutional
form of government took the position that if you
begin to understand what you see -- and when the
Laws that manifest all of Creation are properly
understood -- that you will yourself begin on
the journey towards an enlightened state of mind
-- i.e. an America Gnostic. This same reality
is presented in the Gospel of Thomas where it
states: (5)
Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight,
and that which is hidden from you will become
plain to you..."
To recognize what is in
your sight, you must be cognizant of the Laws
that have formed the images of what you observe
in the world -- images that are formed by
impressing an aspect of mind into an allegorical
symbol that is seen by man's organic senses.
Thus, what man observes in the world about him,
is only a symbol that is holographically
interpreted by man's physical senses -- and only
when you begin to understand what you see, can
you begin to escape the
"outer darkness
...Plato's Cave".
 With
respect to the underlying Laws of Creation,
Gurdjieff used what is commonly known as the
Enneagram -- which is said to be a merger of the
Law of Three which I have portrayed as the
Divine Pattern that permeates all of Creation,
and the Law of Seven which is portrayed as the
Law of Octaves. The Enneagram consists of
nine points which is the Law of Seven with the
two shock points added at the crucial interval
points where the Laws test all movements. The
following is a quote from Ouspensky's In Search
of the Miraculous:
"Speaking in general it must be understood that
the enneagram is a universal symbol. All
knowledge can be included in the enneagram and
with the help of the enneagram it can be
interpreted. And in this connection only what a
man is able to put into the enneagram does he
actually know, that is, understand. What he
cannot put into the enneagram he does not
understand. For the man who is able to make use
of it, the enneagram makes books and libraries
entirely unnecessary. Everything can be included
and read in the enneagram. A man may be quite
alone in the desert and he can trace the
enneagram in the sand and in it read the eternal
laws of the universe. And every time he can
learn something new, something he did not know
before." Take particular note of the
words "...For the man
who is able to make use of it, the enneagram
makes books and libraries entirely unnecessary."
And it is this Knowledge of the Laws that the
original core disciples of Jesus and TheWay
understood, that made them warn others that
there is only One Teacher -- which they
portrayed as
The True Prophet. And this is
demonstrated in the words of the Apostle Peter
who is quoted in the Homilies of his disciple
Clement:
“Hence, O beloved
Clement, if
you would know the things pertaining to God, you
have to learn them from Him alone, because He
alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows
anything, he has received it from Him or from
His disciples”.
The Deists And
The Law of Octaves: When the Deists
expressed the words,
The Laws of Nature and
Nature's God, they understood the
Law of Three as manifest in the Divine Pattern
of Creation, as well as the Law of Octaves which
holographically is embedded throughout every
aspect of all that exists. When Deism is
portrayed as
"Deism
...is the standpoint that
reason and observation
of the
natural world, without
the need for organized religion, can determine
that a
supreme being created
the
universe" (see
Deism) -- it was because the American
Gnostics who were Deists, understood the higher
reality of the Laws when overcome, is a
harnessing of the Laws within one's own mind and
being that, in the above words of Ouspensky,
"...makes books and
libraries entirely unnecessary" .
Why would overcoming the Laws within one's self
render "...books and
libraries entirely unnecessary"?
Those who overcome the Laws and emerge out of
what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of
mind and being -- or the illusions of Plato's
Cave -- are able to see and understand all
things for what they truly are -- and are thus,
travailing the path of the soul's journey of
enlightenment. And one of the primary concerns
of our Deist Constitutional Framers, was
creating an environment where the Natural Laws
(of God) could function at a higher level, and
permit the people to evolve to their higher
potential that organic man simply could not even
begin to comprehend.
Though the pattern of
the Law of Three and the Law of Octaves is
holographically present throughout all of
Creation, it is perhaps easiest to see, hear and
observe in music. Again let me stress the fact
that while the manifest Laws-at-work can be
demonstrated more easily in music, its
far-reaching reality is prevalent throughout all
aspects of life in this world and beyond. The
only difference, then, is that the same sequence
of Law is more difficult to observe throughout
the other aspects of life -- but quickly becomes
apparent once one is cognizant of the pattern
and sequence.
The same pattern that is
found in music has been noted in what is known
as Newlan's Law of Octaves -- i.e.,
is related to the arrangement of elements in the
periodic table. If elements are arranged in the
order of their atomic weights, the eighth
element starting from a given one is a kind of
repetition of the first.
It is said that once Pythagoras recognized the
relationship of music and math -- and
established music as an exact science --
Pythagoras then applied his Law of harmonic
intervals to all the phenomena of Nature. He
went so far as to demonstrate the harmonic
relationship of the planets, constellations, and
elements to each other.
 If
we look at the picture of a typical keyboard,
what we see is the whole notes represented in
the white keys, and the half-tones in the black
keys. Regardless of the fact of whether we
understand music or not, what we should quickly
recognize is the easily discernable fact that
not every whole-note interval has a half-tone!
Why? Why isn't there a half-tone between the
third and fourth note on the keyboard and
musical scale? Also, why isn't there a
half-tone between the seventh and eigth note of
a musical scale? Though the answer is very
simple, the reality that is portrayed is so
esoteric and beyond physical reality as we know
it, that the most accomplished musicians cannot
supply you with the answer to the enigma -- an
enigma that is holographically true of all Laws
-- and envelops every aspect of our lives and
Creation.
Man's physical
body is programmed for his spiritual failure:
Our physical body is of the earth -- it
therefore is not a vehicle that is the natural
environment of man's higher soul and spiritual
natures. What this means is that if we are to
manifest our higher natures, and rise above the
inherent carnal limitations of our physical
body/vessel, we will be required to make a
conscious effort -- even a super conscious
effort -- as we endeavor to overcome the Laws
that are the ruling forces of this natural
world. Once again, our physical body is
comprised of earth-matter -- and is not
naturally acclimated to support man's higher
aspects of mind and being. And this is the
reason why Paul warns that the
"natural"
mind of man cannot even begin to perceive or
comprehend the higher reality of the soul and
spiritual natures (see
Mystery Of The Gospel) -- judging and
rejecting these higher truths as utter
"foolishness"
and even heresy. That the physical body and
mind must be purified and transformed in order
to gain access to those higher areas of mind
that are able to perceive and comprehend man's
higher soul and spiritual reality -- and the
fact that this transformational process requires
much effort and work on one's self -- is
portrayed in the words of the disciples where
they stated: "We
must through many tribulations enter the kingdom
of God" (Acts
14:22 NKJ).
If we are therefore
bound to this physical realm by the natural
Laws, then it is of the utmost importance for us
to be cognizant of the effects of the Law as
they interact with every aspect of nature and
life. If we pose the question: Is man's
physical body imbued with the Laws that inhibit
him from fulfilling his spiritual goals? As we
look around us at the natural world it is
important that we be cognizant of the fact that
we see the absence of strait lines. The leaves
on a tree or plant -- the outline of a mountain
range -- the formation of rocks -- as well as
the very physical bodies in which we presently
dwell. Strait lines do not exist in nature.
Why? Because these Laws which we can hear and
observe on a keyboard, cause all things to
change direction in midstream. In the same way
that we cannot clear our minds and focus on a
single thought, as we attempt to walk the path
of spiritual enlightenment, the Laws of this
realm will constantly work to lead us off the
path to Life.
Returning once again to
the keyboard: Starting from the left most key,
we can see the first note, and between the first
and second white keys is a half-tone which is
represented by that black key. Thus, the black
key represents a half-step or half-tone between
the two white keys which musicians call a sharp
or flat. The same is true with respect to the
sequence of the second to third note. Then,
between the third and fourth note the pattern
suddenly changes, and we can observe that there
is no half-tone between these notes. Why?
Because when we play the notes, the frequency of
the fourth note is actually a half-tone -- and
yet it artificially and falsely sounds to our
physical hearing a whole-step increment.
Why? Why does our ears hear a half-tone in the
third to fourth sequence as if it is a whole,
while this is not true in the first two
intervals of an octave?
The enigma is caused by a twisting of the
frequencies when they are played in sequence --
but this twisting is not only true of the
musical scale -- but is holographically true and
representative of a pattern which is indigenous
to all such sequences of Law throughout all of
Creation. What this means is that while we can
hear this Law at work in music, and observe this
Law at work by virtue of the physical placement
of the keys on a keyboard, this same pattern
remains universal to all the Laws that control
this world throughout every aspect of our
lives. The result is that when we think we are
hearing what would be portrayed as a straight
linear path -- our physical senses are subject
to an illusion within the construct of the Laws
-- resulting in the fact that we are
inadvertently turned off the linear path without
ever realizing that our direction has been
altered by the natural sequence of Laws which
immerse every aspect of this physical realm in
what Jesus portrayed as the
"outer darkness"
of mind and being, or the illusions of Plato's
Cave.
 In
the first place we must understand that an
octave is comprised of seven notes or sequences
-- as is the pattern of the seven colors of the
rainbow that make up white light. As the
seventh note is stepped into the eighth
sequence, the first note of the sequence is
double the frequency of the first, and is
repeated as one octave higher than the initial
note played. What this means is that there is
seven notes which complete the sequence before
the first note is repeated one octave higher
than the first -- as in the common musical
sequence Doe Re Me Fa So La Ti Doe -- with the
second Doe being the same note as the first, but
only one octave higher. For those who don't
understand the musical scale, there is no
variableness in the beginning and ending of the
first sequence that makes up the octave, because
the frequency of the eighth note which is also
expressed in the term Doe which commences the
next higher octave, is double the frequency of
the first Doe. And this is why whole notes
only consist of a repetitive A through G
sequence.
The Law Of
Octaves And The Second Amendment:
The Right for the individual to bear arms as set
forth in the Second Amendment was strategically
placed in that position following the First
Amendment, to convey a reality of the Laws that
must be recognized and understood if man is to
prevail and arise to his true destiny in this
world. Therefore, to even begin to
understand why our Constitutional Framers placed
the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment,
it is important to understand the nature of
duality and division. Why is this
important today? Because knowledge
is power -- power to prevail over both
ignorance, as well as the Natural Forces of the
Laws and the Earth. Ignorance of
these Natural Laws makes innocent people
victims.
The Natural Forces and Laws of this world move
in cycles -- and these cycles can be observed
and invoked to man's advantage. In
the words of Louis Pasteur:
"Chance
favors only the prepared
mind".
By this he meant that sudden flashes of insight
don’t just happen -- they are the products of
preparation. Higher Consciousness,
Success and American Exceptionalism, are all the
products of the knowledge and invocation of the
Natural Laws in ways that few modern Americans
can even begin to understand. Highly
Conscious men and women make highly conscious
and intentional actions which
invoke the Natural Laws to bring about
envisioned and foreseen events and objectives.
And this is true whether the highly motivated
man or woman is conscious of the Natural Laws or
not. Of course, if such a highly
motivated and conscious individual is aware of
the movement and cycles of the Natural Laws --
and knows how to properly invoke them -- then
this higher awareness can supercharge the
results. In the same way that the scientist can navigate
the heavenly bodies of the universe by
understanding the Natural Laws (see
American
Exceptionalism), all endeavors in both the
earth and within self can be orchestrated
through a knowledge of the workings of the
Natural Laws. And thus, it is not an
accident that the Second Amendment is the
embodiment of the Right to Bear Arms.
The Crisis that confronts all Americans today is
seen in the fact that modern
pseudo-intellectuals are working to throw the
Constitution upon the dung-heap -- along with
religion and the concept of God Given
UnAlienable Rights. Why?
Because they
(1)
lack a functional understanding of the higher
purpose of the Constitution;
(2)
neither do they understand the true purpose and
objectives of religion and the scriptures;
(3)
and they fail to comprehend that what is
portrayed as American Exceptionalism is
dependent upon an environment that permits the
Natural Laws to function in accord with Divine
Design. And among the
freedoms they are working to do away with, is
the Second Amendment and the People's Right to
not only protect themselves -- but to rise up
and throw off a despotic government.
And in possessing the knowledge of the Natural
Laws as they move in the lives of mankind, the
enlightened core of our Constitutional Framers
understood that threats against the Rights of
the People would require a constant vigil --
because in the same way that the body has cycles
where it is plagued by disease and sickness,
these same cycles of ideological disease would
periodically threaten the Life and Liberty of
the American People and the Constitution.
It is therefore not a question as to if the
cycles of disease would attack the Rights of the
People -- but rather, when!
To even begin to understand the relationship of
the Second Amendment, the Law of Octaves and the
embodiment of the inherent evil as portrayed in the Genesis
allegorical account of the Second Day of
Creation, we must first understand the organic
twisting of the octaves from a higher more
enlightened perspective (see
Law Of Octaves).
As stated throughout this article, Spiritually
Mature men and women are able to gain access to
a Source of Higher Knowledge that exists at the
Core of their mind and being -- and this
enlightened insight is brought about by those
who gain a knowledge of the Natural Laws, and
are able to successfully invoke these Laws in
their pursuit for Higher Knowledge and Reality
of Being. If we
recognize that our Constitutional Framers were
far more than mere intellectuals -- and were
semi-enlightened Deists, Masons and Spiritually
Mature Christians -- and in understanding
the Laws of Nature and Nature's God, they
recognized that the relationship of the Second
Amendment could be said to be on par with why
the Genesis second day of Creation is the only
day that was not portrayed as being good.
Which of course would be synonymous with the
biblical portrayal of an unmarried woman --
which allegorically portrays a divided nature
moved by the flesh/physical. In a
similar vain, when the Spiritually Mature
Christians portrayed this
world as being evil, what was in fact being
presented is the reality that when man is ruled over
by the flesh of his lower (animal) nature -- lacking
the manifest balance of the spiritual and the
physical which in and of itself is often
allegorically portrayed as male and female.
In all instances, division which is of course
represented in the number two, is the embodiment
of evil -- and yet, division is necessary to
bring forth and evolve higher reality. In
much the same way, while guns and violence can
be easily be portrayed as the embodiment of
evil, an even greater evil manifests when the
people have no means to throw off the
self-serving despots of church and state.
Holographically, man is the microcosmic image of
the Macrocosmic whole -- and if you want to see
death and destruction, then look at the physical
body on a day to day basis. It has
armies of white blood cells and antibodies whose
whole purpose is to wage war against invading
disease and germs that will attempt to attack
the body. Using AIDS as an example,
no one dies of AIDS -- but rather, conditions
which can freely attack the body because of a
suppressed immune system. And when
understood on more of a Macrocosmic level in the
outer world, we can rightly portray government
in the form of either church or state as being
run amuck when the bodies immune system itself
turns on the body -- weakening it, bringing
about a condition of sickness and death.
 The
second amendment can therefore be looked upon as
the immune system that while it is true that
guns have the potential of evil, remain
necessary for the protection of the people and
the nation. And Jefferson's
expectation of a armed conflict taking place at
every 20 year interval -- i.e.,
"The tree of liberty
must be refreshed from time to time with the
blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural
manure" -- in order to throw off
despotic government, is of course based upon the
knowledge of the Law of Octaves -- which of
course presents the time-tested reality that
without conscious overseer-ship of the
progression through the incremental steps of the
Law of Octaves, that government will be moved by
the Laws (of Nature and Nature's God) to turn
upon its First Principles. Thus, we can
see this reality in the words of Jefferson:
"God forbid we should
ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well
informed. The part which is wrong will be
discontented, in proportion to the importance of
the facts they misconceive. If they remain
quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy,
the forerunner of death to the public liberty.
...And what country can preserve its liberties,
if its rulers are not warned from time to time,
that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy
is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and
pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a
century or two? The tree of liberty must
be refreshed from time to time, with the blood
of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural
manure."
With respect to the Law of Octaves: The first
flaw that causes the abuse of power of either
church or state is when the people remain
unobservant and complacent through the
progression of the incremental steps as
portrayed in Jefferson's words:
"If they remain quiet
under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the
forerunner of death to the public liberty."
And once the twisting of the Octaves has taken
place, and the movement has turned upon its
First Principles, then often the only way to
rectify (in this case) the violation of
God-Given Rights, is for the people to rise up
and throw off the disease that threatens the
organism. Without the ability to
throw off despotic church or state, the organism
will very quickly be overcome with disease, and
its destruction will be self-evident. In
order to demonstrate the reality of Laws that
are being presented, I will quote an above
paragraph under the heading of
American
Exceptionalism:
Prof.
Walter Williams lived previously as one of
our Constitutional Framers, and in a commentary
entitled
America's Move Towards Tyranny he presented
an important warning to the American People
where he wrote:
Supreme Court Justice
Louis Brandeis warned,
"The greatest
dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious
encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but
without understanding."
The freedom of
individuals from compulsion or coercion never
was, and is not now, the normal state of human
affairs. The normal state for the ordinary
person is tyranny, arbitrary control and abuse
mainly by their own government. While imperfect
in its execution, the Founders of our nation
sought to make an exception to this ugly part of
mankind's history. Unfortunately, at the urging
of the American people, we are unwittingly in
the process of returning to mankind's normal
state of affairs.
In similar fashion Thomas Paine wrote:
"Society in every state
is a blessing, but government even in its best
state is but a necessary evil in its worst state
an in tolerable one; for when we suffer, or are
exposed to the same miseries by a government,
which we might expect in a country without
government, our calamities is heightened by
reflecting that we furnish the means by which we
suffer!" -- and of course the
immortal words: "That
government is best which governs least".
Then there is the statement attributed to Thomas
Jefferson, Barry Goldwater and Gerald Ford:
"A government big enough to give you everything
you want, is big enough to take away everything
you have".
Sadly, there is another important lesson that
must not only be considered, but revered.
Not only does History perpetually repeat itself,
but the very souls who wrecked havok upon
mankind in the past, are here in the present.
Not only did the original Founders of our
Constitution understand the reality of the soul
that evolves over the course of many lifetimes
(see Deist Beliefs),
but this truth was also understood and embraced
by the pre-Nicene Christian Church (see
Christian Reincarnation). Who is
our leaders and authorities? Why, they are
the same exact souls who led mankind into dark
ignorance and suffering as in the past.
Open a history book and enumerate the despots
and ravenous wolves, and say My God! They
are here, leading the people, under the guise of
a different edition of the same old story.
And they are just as blind -- just as
self-centered -- just as ignorant -- as their
previous editions that caused great and grave
suffering inflicted upon the common masses
throughout what we call the illusion of time.
They are all present in the world today -- i.e.,
Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Genghis Khan, Napoleon,
Mao, Mohammed who took no prisoners, Cesar, Jim
Jones, all the despotic kings, dictators, all
the mass-murderers, rapists, the criminally
insane and the rest of the boys of deviation,
are all here on the world's stage in different
editions of the same ole, same ole souls.
And these same ole souls are forcing people to
be educated in environments of immorality and
rampant substance abuse where the thinking of
impressionable young minds are programmed into
junk-science and a denial of man's true reality
is literally outlawed. And these souls and
their minions want to disarm the public and
leave them defenseless.
Hitler
instituted gun control, so he could eliminate
the people's ability to oppose him.
The soul of Hitler is here in the world today.
Hitler and Stalin were both inspired speakers
who could mesmerize the masses -- Obama's
supporters portray him as the expected messiah.
New York instituted gun control which was
promoted by a corrupt politician Sen. Tim
Sullivan who use his political clout to disarm
the immigrants so they could not protect
themselves against the rampant NYC corrupt
political machine. Whenever the
people are denied self-protection through gun
control, murder, rape, muggings, robbery, home
invasions all drastically increase.
All mass shooting take place in gun free zones.
Chicago is the perfect example of gun control
related crime in the United States.
Why do Secular Progressives demand gun control
and the public be disarmed. Obama's friend George Soros
who regularly visits the White House, has expressed the
desire to collapse our Constitutional form of
Government, and institute Marxism.
Obama is presently undermining the financial
structure on America. Obama is
presently importing Mexican and South American
street thugs and cartel members, and providing
them safe-haven in the United States.
If the American People permit themselves to
become unarmed in any manner, they will upset
the balance of Constitutional Power and could
become comrades, subjects, and even modern surfs
to the Secular Progressive elite.
Americans have a Constitutional Right to own
what is erroneously portrayed as assault rifles
with large capacity magazines, in order to
protect and sustain their God-Given
Constitutional Rights.

Esoteric Reality Of The
School Shootings
The scriptures are
correct and that all
events not only have a
pre-existing cause --
but these events can be
foreseen by those
involved. Why?
Because the souls of all
of those involved knew
that the school shooting
of these children would
take place in the manner
that it did even before
they entered this life.
But the facts are: (1)
in the same way that the
Jews were in denial with
respect to the repayment
of a karmic debt with
Hitler -- and they
rejected the wisdom of
their own Jewish mystic (see Conditions
Of One's Birth - Life -
Death)
-- so too will the
denial be on the lips of
both the parents, and
the ideological rants of
those with an agenda;
(2) even when the issues
are properly set before
the court, they refused
to even hear it (see The
Cross And The Seat Belt);
(3) and even when it is
demonstrated that both
our linear-driven
culture and the manner
in which we educate our
children directly
inhibits the
child/person not only
from being able to
foresee such events, but
also to connect with
their higher soul-self
who both perceives the
originating causal
factor and the exact
time and date that the
event will transpire
(see
Intuitive Mind vs
Linear-Rational);
(4) and that even though
it is easily proven that
the whole foundation of
our fossilize
junk-science that we
base our culture and
manner of education on
has long been proven to
be in error -- for
mostly
political/commercial
reasons both our secular
and sectarian leaders
refuse to in any manner
acknowledge the facts
and the truth when it is
presented to them.
The scriptures are
written in what can be
called the allegorical
Language of the Soul,
because all of Nature is
composed in this same
Language. And in the
same way that you must
apply the Key
of Knowledge to
begin to grasp the true
meaning of the
scriptures, you must in
like manner begin to
properly apply the Key
of Knowledge to
unlock the meaning of
the outer world that has
been rightly portrayed
by Jesus as the "outer
darkness" of
mind and being (see Outer
Darkness) -- which
is parallel to the
analogy of Plato's
Cave. Which is why
the Gospel of Thomas
declares (5)
Jesus said, "Recognize
what is in your sight,
and that which is hidden
from you will become
plain to you..." (Gospel
of Thomas). The
scriptures are a
text-book designed to
teach you the principles
of the Language of the
Soul and the allegorical
world in which you
dwell, so that you will
do as portrayed in the
parable of the prodigal
son and return to your
Spiritual Source of
Being. The process
worked for me when I
lived as the Brother of
the man Jesus (see BrotherOfJesus.org )
-- it worked for me in a
later life as a canonized
saint -- and it worked
for me over the course
of many other lifetimes
-- as it has worked for
me in this present life
when I was dispatched
into this world to tell
the people the Truth and
guide them in TheWay.
But because the
ideologues, the
sectarian and secular
authorities, and
especially our
educators, refuse to
even consider the facts
-- but continue to cling
to a mental and
philosophical
foundational paradigm of
thinking that is in the
process of bringing
about our own
self-destruction --
i.e., in
the words of William A.
Tiller: “The
present scientific
establishment has grown
somewhat fossilized by
its current world
picture and is locked
into a view of reality
that has outlived its
usefulness. It has begun
to limit mankind’s
growth and has so
increased its sense of
specialization,
separateness,
materiality, and
mechanical computer-like
functioning that it is
in real danger of
self-extermination” (William
A. Tiller, Materials
Sciences Department,
Stanford University -
quoted at Whats
Wrong With Wearing A
Seatbelt?) --
that if we don't begin
to re-evaluate the
meaningless and
self-destructive lives
that we are presently
living, that the
conflict which took
place in Sandy Hook
school, will become
commonplace as the very
structure of our
government and culture
collapses from within.
The below is my answer
to a gun control
question:
My interests in
writing the articles
Why
Are There School
Shootings?
and
The
Law Of Octaves And
The Second Amendment is
not in any manner to
promote gun rights
-- but rather, to
understand the
causal reality of
the Natural Laws of
this world which of
course are
personified in the
words: The
Laws Of Nature And
Nature's God.
But it is
important to
recognize that
holographically,
genuine science and
religion have proven
beyond all doubt
that we are dwelling
in a Cosmic Body
that is imbued with
the same Divine
Pattern as our own
body-mind -- and
that the ability to
defend ourselves
from attackers,
parallels that of a
healthy immune
system of the body
as explored in the
article
The
Law Of Octaves And
The Second Amendment.
It is not an
accident that the
worst crimes are
committed in gun
free zones -- the
example being that
John Holmes who shot
up the Colorado
cinema, passed by
three other cinemas
that were not gun
free zones (see
Gun
Free Zones - The
Most Dangerous
Places In America).
Moreover, at
the present time the
political leaders of
the United States
are in the process
of importing Mexican
and South American
thugs and cartels
into the country --
and these gangs are
literally taking
control of large
sections of our
country which
rightly can be
declared to be
third-world nations
within our borders.
There are places
in this country --
i.e., Los Angles,
Chicago, Detroit,
and many large
cities under Secular
Progressive control
-- where the
government is the
local street gang
cartel that rules
the culture.
And the very guns
which the Secular
Progressive
ideologues want to
prohibit, would in
fact be the first
line of defense when
the family is forced
to defend itself
from the cartels
that are taking over
whole segments of
our cities. Not
to understand the
causal factors of
the events in this
life, is to blindly
walk out onto a
freeway at night
with dark clothing
on. Not to
understand the
causal factor, is to
play Russian
Roulette with a
fully loaded
revolver. And in
this respect the
predominant causal
factor is made up of
a number (twelve-fold)
sub-causes that
would have to be
realized as both
independent and
contributing to the
whole.
In the same way that
the Jews had to
repay a karmic debt
at the hands of
Hitler (see
Conditions
Of One's Birth -
Life - Death),
no doubt some of the parents
of these children are
themselves inheriting the
negative karma incurred in
the previous lives that
their soul has lived i.e., “Do
not be deceived: God
cannot be mocked. A
man reaps what he
sows” (Gal
6:7 NIV).
But the Laws then
take these lesser
causal factors, and
roll them out into a
Causal Factor of a
Higher Order, which
has the effect of
satisfying the Laws
in a multifaceted manner.
While we can't
even begin to
address the lesser
causal factors that
brought all these
children and
families together in
this larger episode,
we can examine the
larger causal factor
which is of the
primary concern to
the American People.
The bottom line is
that the
children's lives
were not safe in the
school environment; the
children's lives
were snuffed out by
a stranger who was
mentally and
even deranged; and
while the school
administrators and
teachers believed
they were acting in
the best interests
of the children,
their actions failed
to protect the
children from the
reality that
consumed the very
life of innocence that
was violently
snuffed out.
As stated in the
Gospels, all events
in this world have a
pre-existent cause.
And while most
Christians are in
denial of the
scriptures which
state that God
ordains both the
good and the evil --
the evil being a
corrective action
brought about by the
people themselves --
the Christian's
condition of
profound ignorance
is the direct result
of the elimination
of important
teachings which were
removed from the
Gospel text (see
BibleCorruption.com).
And when important
teachings were
outlawed by a series
of Roman Emperors
(see
Religion
Of Roman Emperors),
the effect was the
Spiritual Castration
of the Church (see
Spiritual
Castration).
In this instance the
events that
transpired at Sandy
Hook school not only
satisfied the
(pre-existent)
causal factors of
each of the
individuals involved
-- but the events
initiate a series of
new objectives that
spawns a twelve-fold
sub-factors that
must be confronted
in the future.
While those people
who see only one
face in the
twelve-fold crystal,
and attempt to focus
only on one of the
faces (see
The
Enigma Of The Twelve
- The Laws - And The
Tree Of Life ),
what the parable of
the twelve-faced
crystal that Jesus
taught also presents
the reality that, in
order to raise up
one's consciousness
and be able to
perceive the One
Light that is the
Source, you must
have the vision to
perceive the
allegorical enigma
of what is being
presented. In
view of the fact
that our higher
soul-self (see
SoulSelf.org)
perceives all events
and realities of
this world from the
Primary Causal
Factor -- while
acknowledging the
secondary
twelve-fold factors
that provide the
environment for the
Primary Factor to
Manifest -- it is
important for
seekers to begin to
open their
perception and
thinking to the
reality of the
Primary Cause --
while acknowledging
the existence of the
lesser causes.
While from man's
organic perception
the public schools
may seem to be a
good idea that
addresses the need
to overcome
ignorance and
illiteracy, it
remains true that on
a larger scale the
public school
agenda, curriculum and
environment is not
only inflicting
grave harm on the
child that would
include death from a
higher
soul-perspective --
but in its
alienation of the
child from its true
self, it is a valid
statement that the
child has been cast
into the hands of
the Master
Abortionist.
Jesus taught that
unless you bring
about the next stage
of birth that you in
no manner can enter
into Life -- and
both the public
schools, our
self-serving
hedonist culture, in
conjunction with our
spiritually
castrated churches,
all inhibit the
birth process from
being brought about.
Why? As stated in
the
Enigma
Of The Segmented
Mind, only a
fractional segment
of both self and
higher reality can
manifest in the
physical which is
limited to
three-dimensions.
Which means that all
we can perceive with
our physical senses,
is an allegorical
manifestation that
is representative of
symbols impressed
into this world
which, when properly
understood, provides
us insight into the
Greater Causal
Factor that is
impossible to
manifest within the
limits of these
three dimensions.
But we do have the
symbolism of the
derangement of the
mind that is
snuffing out and
killing the young
children in an
environment where
those in charge have
left them
unprotected. What
is the cause of the
derangement? This
must be seen as a
separation and even
alienation from
higher reality --
which in this case
is the alienation of
the child from its
true self on the
alter of Secular
Progressive ideology
and philosophy that
is barring the
life-giving
teachings of TheWay
from being taught --
placing an
insurmountable
obstacle between the
child and the One
Teacher that can
enlighten them to
all Truth (see The
True Prophet).
Resulting
in a life of mental
impairment and
spiritual
disenfranchisement
-- which in effect,
squanders away the
very Life of the
Child. And while
we can observe the
ideologues in a
contrived rage in
their attempt to
promote gun control
and the further deterioration of
God-Given Rights --
attempting to insure
that the crisis has
not gone to waste --
but is to be used to
advance the very
evil agenda which
they impose upon the
people -- they are
in effect
self-condemned.
The question is
whether the people
and their religious
leaders they look to
will further
surrender to the
sacrifice of their
children and
God-Given Rights on
the alter of Secular
Progressive
Ideology?

Limits Of
The Organic Mind - Linear Thought And
Fragmentation:
While from a human perspective it could be
asserted that there is an inherent congenital
defect in the hearing of man that causes him to
falsely hear the interval between the third and
fourth sequences of an octave as if it were a
whole-step -- regardless of the fact that it is
a half-step in the frequencies of the musical
sequence -- in failing to understand the reality
and higher purpose of this long ignored
phenomena, it is as if mankind continues to
dwell in a self-imposed Dark Ages that has
gravely inhibited his progress. In fact, all
the poverty, all of man's sufferings, violence,
conflict and bestiality that men inflict upon
other men, is all the result of man's
self-imposed ignorance of the knowledge of the
Laws. On the other hand, Mystics and those who
have long understood the movement of the Laws of
Creation have known that this interval between
the third to fourth sequence is in fact a
testing point of the Laws -- a test for
Completeness and Wholeness to see if we are
prepared to move beyond that point in the
physical and mental limitations of the
body-vessel. But it has been virtually
impossible for natural organic man to make any
real progress beyond the level where he is
presently at, because pseudo-intellectuals
reject the wisdom that has been presented to
them. The biblical authors all warned that
man's higher soul and spiritual reality as set
forth in what was portrayed as the Mysteries of
the Kingdom of God, was beyond the comprehension
of organic man in his natural (earthly-carnal)
mindset (see
Mystery Of The Gospel) -- and yet, both
man's religious and political leaders have long
ignored their witness.
In the same way that
man is deaf and oblivious to the fact that the
third to fourth and seventh to eighth sequence
of the musical scale that he hears in not a
linear progression as he imagines, he in like
manner remains oblivious to the fact that both
his line of vision and his rational linear
thought that he relies upon to evaluate his
experiences in this world, is subject to the
same testing and twisting that is easily
demonstrated in his hearing. What this means
is that organic man's rational thinking is
totally unreliable to evaluate what he sees and
evaluates, because what appears to be linear, is
an illusion that he is not at all even aware
of. In the same way that the listener is not
aware of the frequency shifts when the notes of
an octave is played back to him -- and what
sounds to his physical ears to be a linear
incremental progression is not at all true --
the same is true with respect to both his vision
and what he would consider rational thought and
reasoning.
The result is man's
inherent blindness and suppressed rationale that
inhibits his ability to properly evaluate what
he thinks he sees and understands. Why? Very
simply, because of the carnal blindness
 inflicted
upon man by virtue of the organic limitations of
the body-vessel -- and when these natural
organic limitations are understood, the reality
which confronts man is seen in his inability to
grasp only a mere fragment of what he sees and
comprehends. And perhaps the perfect example
of the problem is presented in a poem by John
Godfrey Saxe which is based upon a fable told in
India. It is a good warning about how our
inhibited sensory perceptions and limited
organic logic can lead to some serious
misinterpretations -- especially when the
investigations of the component parts of a
whole, and their relations in making up the
whole, are inadequate and lack co-ordination.
It was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined, Who went to see the
Elephant (Though all of them were blind), That
each by observation, Might satisfy his mind
The First
approached the Elephant, And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side, At once began
to bawl: "God bless me! but the Elephant Is
very like a wall!"
The Second, feeling
of the tusk, Cried, "Ho! what have we here, So
very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis
mighty clear, This wonder of an Elephant, Is
very like a spear!"
The Third
approached the animal, And happening to take The
squirming trunk within his hands, Thus boldly up
and spoke: "I see," quoth he, "the Elephant Is
very like a snake!"
The Fourth reached
out an eager hand, And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like, Is
mighty plain," quoth he; "'Tis clear enough the
Elephant, Is very like a tree!"
The Fifth, who
chanced to touch the ear, Said: "Even the
blindest man Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can, This marvel of an
Elephant Is very like a fan!"
The Sixth no sooner
had begun, About the beast to grope, Than,
seizing on the swinging tail, That fell within
his scope, "I see," quoth he, "the Elephant, Is
very like a rope!"
And so these men of
Indostan, Disputed loud and long, Each in his
own opinion, Exceeding stiff and strong, Though
each was partly in the right, And all were in
the wrong!
The Moral: So oft
in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail
on in utter ignorance, Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant, Not one of them has
actually seen!
From the enlightened perspective of the Mystic,
the inherent problem of human blindness is even
greater than what is presented in the above
fable. The
90th Chapter of what is known as
The Gospel of the Nazirenes preserves this
higher reality that plagues organic physical
man: "The One
truth has many sides, and one sees one side
only, another, and some see more than others,
according as it is given to them. Behold this
crystal; how the one light is manifest in twelve
faces, yea four times twelve, and each face
reflects one ray of light, and one regards one
face, and another, another, but it is the one
crystal, and the one light that shines in all."
Like the blind men,
what is presented in the above Gospel quotation
is the reality that by Law, different men
perceive the same truth differently -- and that
each perception of the one truth is both valid,
and fragmented. And in understanding the Laws
and their effects upon organic man, the Deist
framers of the Constitution insured that each
position based upon each individual man's
perception, was protected. Our Constitutional
framers understood that because each man's
perception, understanding and mind is segmented
-- and that in his organic natural condition,
each man is only able to see mental forms and
allegorical symbols (see above
The Allusions Of The Forms Of Matter) that
have been impressed into the images of nature --
that each individual man's perception is not
only representative of a valid perspective even
though it is different than that of other men --
but that each man's fragmented perspective is an
integral part of the Whole. But because each
man's perception and understanding is a fragment
of the whole, few men possess the intelligent
perception to realize the fact that his rational
linear reasoning is totally insufficient to
evaluate what his very limited perception and
organic consciousness is presenting to him.
And it was the realization of this reality that
organic man was inherently blind to by virtue of
the limitations of his physical senses and
consciousness, that was expressed in the shock
of Einstein (see
Science Proves Religion) when he stated:
“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.”
Which confirms what Einstein wrote in analysis
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”
(quoted in M. Capek,
The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary
Physics) -- and the words of physicist
Walter Thirring who wrote 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”
(Urbausteine der Materie).
What this means is
that only the Mystic who has endeavored to
consciously develop his latent intuitive spheres
of mind, possesses the ability to observe and
comprehend what man's very fragmented
linear-rational (intellectual) thinking is
totally blind to -- which enables the Mystic
alone to perceive the source and underlying
causes in the Etheric Field that is the source
of what man perceives in the forms of matter.
Thus, Mystics have long warned mankind that the
reality of this world of appearances is not at
all what is seems to be through the perception
of man's physical eyes and senses -- i.e., that
there is a great deal more that man's senses and
perception cannot detect or even imagine. And
this same enigma of the limits of man's physical
senses was noted by Albert Einstein who
concluded with respect to man's dilemma when he
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." And what the
Mystic has warned is that because man's
religious, philosophical, cultural and
educational institutions
"...have created a
society that honors the [rational] servant and
has forgotten [and suppressed the development
of] the [intuitive] gift" -- thus,
blinding mankind to the underlying cause of all
that man sees and experiences in this world, man
remains perpetually lost and blind in what Jesus
portrayed as the "outer
darkness" of mind and being (see
Outer Darkness) -- or what the philosopher
portrayed in the analogy of the illusions of
Plato's Cave (see
Cave) .
When
properly and factually
understood, there is absolutely
no difference between the
findings of the enlightened
scientist, the original
disciples of Jesus, the Apostle
Paul who attempted to warn
organic man of his inherent
blindness to his own higher
soul-reality ( see
Mystery), and the
enlightened Mystic -- except,
perhaps, the key word
enlightened. But
the very word enlightened raises
the crucial question as to how
one even becomes enlightened?
Certainly not by disputing
others over opinions based upon
very fragmented and limited
perceptions of truths that are
incomprehensible to the natural
organic mind of man.
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 who develop
only the linear-intellect and
totally discard the intuitive,
in their blindness they reject
even the existence of the
invisible -- resulting in the
fact that the scientific
community 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 above
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).
Which means that we first must
recognize not only that the
unseen which is the source of
what we see exists, but also
that be can develop the ability
to see what organic man is blind
to.
When Paul wrote that
"See to it that no one
takes you captive through hollow and deceptive
philosophy, which depends on human tradition and
the basic principles of this world..."
(Col 2:8 NIV) -- he was making
reference to philosophies, human traditions and
basic principles that were founded upon a
linear-logic perception and understanding of
this world. When Paul warned that the
wisdom of this world comes to naught, it was
because of the blind illusion of man's
linear-logic that causes him to arrive at
defective assumptions. When the scriptures
warn that "There is a
way that seems right to man, but its end is the
way of death" (Prov 14:12) -- once
again this warning is based upon the illusions
of man's comprehension based upon his dismissal
of the intuitive and almost sole reliance on
intellectual linear-logic.
When Paul stated to the congregations that they
should "…take
captive every thought to make it obedient to
Christ"
(2 Cor 10:5 NIV) -- what
he was stating was to be totally conscious of
the thoughts which are in fact controlled by the
Law of Octaves, to insure that the thoughts
generated make an inner connection between the
disciples lower earthly nature as manifest in
the body-vessel, and their higher spiritual
nature that organic man is blind and oblivious
to. The developing of the mind through the
capturing of one's own thoughts, is the basis
for the warning of Jesus in the Gospels:
"But I say
unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the
day of judgment" (Matt
12:36 KJV). And that one must overcome the
Laws working in the body is the reason it is
written in the Epistle of James:
"…bridle the
whole body"
(James 3:2 KJV). While
this may appear totally alien from the
perspective of the modern Christian who fully
indulges in the unbounded excesses of our
present-day cultural lifestyle, the Apostle Paul
confirmed the validity of these words from a New
Covenant perspective when he wrote of the
necessity to
"…beat
my body and make it my slave..."
(1 Cor 9:27 NIV).
Moreover, when Paul stated that salvation is by
faith over the ritual works of the Law of Moses,
the reality that faith meant an entirely
different thing to the Apostle Paul than what is
being preached from our pulpits today, can be
seen in Paul’s commandment to all who would call
themselves a Christian to
"Put to
death, therefore, whatever belongs to your
earthly nature" (Col
3:5 NIV). If the congregation of believers
could simply have faith, without living a
Consecrated Life set apart from the thinking and
lifestyle of the people of this world, then Paul
would not have warned the believers of the
simple-faith that:
“For if ye live
after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through
the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye
shall live”
(Rom 8:13 KJV). To
mortify the deeds of the body takes work -- a
great amount of work -- and this work cannot be
accomplished through a static faith.
The problem is that these
biblical commandments have absolutely nothing in
common with the doctrine of faith that was
developed by MarReligionAsSystemOfEducationtin
Luther in the Middle-ages. In later chapters I
will explore the effect of our modern sexualized
culture and its devastating effects upon men and
women -- which was also warned by Paul in the
full statement at Col 3:5 where he writes:
"Put
to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your
earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity,
lust, evil desires and greed, which is
idolatry."
In most instances the effects of our modern
culture totally inhibit the person from
overcoming the Law of Octaves in their
body-mind.
Religion As A
System Of Education: How important is the
development of the latent intuitive spheres of
mind associated with Mysticism? What is today
known as faith-based religion is portrayed in
the Bible as the elementary teachings designed
specifically for entry-level congregations of
believers. What the Apostle Paul portrayed as
the "testimony"
of Christ, was set forth to the people he
converted as a starting point. And when it is
understood that the objectives of the original
teachings of TheWay were in fact parallel to the
objectives of our modern educational systems --
i.e.,
"...the heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness” -- with the religious
objective of attaining the necessary
developmental expansion of mind that enables the
seeker/disciple to overcome the Laws of Nature
as manifest in the physical body-vessel, and
learn directly from the Source of all Knowledge
-- and the objective of learning from the Source
is in fact the very reason and purpose that all
of Creation was brought into existence to bring
about in the eternal reality of the soul of
mankind -- then further comparisons between the
purpose of religion and the educational systems
of man can be made. If the objective of our
educational system is to obtain a university and
graduate degree, then the beginning of the
educational process starts with pre-school or
kindergarten -- an entry-level environment which
is necessary to prepare the student to embrace
the process of higher learning. In the same
way that you can't enroll an immature student in
a college or university, so too must entry-level
Christians be exposed one step and level at a
time, in a religious-based process that brings
about their own spiritual maturity and
attainment. And this foundational design and
objective of the original teachings of Jesus and
TheWay is explored in the foregoing subheading
entitled
The Mystery Of The Gospel . And it is
further demonstrated that the pre-Nicene Church
(before 325 CE) very much resembled a spiritual
healing center that was totally focused on the
objective of the development of the
seeker/disciple, one level at a time, of the
congregation of believers (see
The Secret Doctrine ) -- where the Church
was accused of being a
Secret System that taught the
spiritually mature a totally different doctrine
than the congregation of believers. And in
reply to the allegations against the Church by
the pagan philosopher Celsus, it was noted that
the elementary doctrines which survive today as
the foundation of faith-based Christianity, was
said to be “...preached
in the Churches… for the simpleminded and for
the ears of the common crowd who are led on to
live better lives by their belief”
(Origen Contra Celsum) -- i.e., a starting
point. So what happened? In the article
The Secret Doctrine, the pre-Nicene Church
is presented in its finest moments as a
three-tier healing system which served the needs
of the people at every level of the process.
But what happened? In time the proverbial
saying that the inmates took over the
institution came to pass -- and the charlatan
political leaders of the lower echelon put to
death the genuine spiritual healers who were the
original core and spiritual essence of the
Church. Resulting in the reality that the
entry-level beliefs became the only surviving
teachings, when the original
Ebionite
Nazirenes and
Spiritual
(Gnostic) Christians were hunted down and
murdered because they refused to accept the
doctrines of the Emperor of Pagan Rome who ruled
over the Church beginning in the fourth century.
Again, there is a
parallel relationship between the original
teachings of Jesus and TheWay, and our
modern-day cultural educational systems. When
a child is first introduced into the system as
an entry-level student, what is presented to the
child is a vision of the final result where the
graduate student is able to become a doctor,
lawyer, engineer, computer programmer or some
other professional. In America even the
thought is presented to the child that they,
too, can grow up to be the president. The
child is told that if they ardently embrace the
objectives of the educational system -- prepare
their minds through proper study and application
-- that they can arise and fulfill all cultural
expectations and find great success in their
lives. In the original teachings of TheWay,
the seeker/disciple was taught that they, too,
could mature to the point, where they could and
would do all that their brother Jesus did.
Contrary to pagan Church dogma, the original
disciples taught that Jesus
"...was justified by
fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God,
since not one of the rest of mankind had
observed the Law completely. Had any one else
fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would
have been the Christ."
Hence, when a seeker/disciple
"...thus fulfill the law,
they are able to become Christs, for they assert
that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense
with all humanity."
(Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer.
vii. 34). And that this fact was originally
presented in the Gospels is easily proven in the
article
The Ten words. Which also proves that the
Deists were correct in their (see above)
assertion that the
"...original pure religion had become corrupted
by 'priests' who had manipulated it for personal
gain and for the class interests of the
priesthood in general."
From the vision
presented to the entry-level student in our own
educational systems, the promise of success is
never presented from the perspective of the
dropout -- or those who flunk out and fail to
take advantage of the learning environment that
the educational system provides to the
student. It is not at all suggested that you
can hangout in school without study and
application, and collect your university degree
by merely putting in your time and going through
the motions of attending school. And what is
not at all understood today, is the fact that
the promise of the scriptures is parallel to
that of the promise presented to the child who
enters our educational system -- in that, the
promise of the scriptures portrays the reality
of those who sincerely engage and complete the
process of the original objectives of "...the
heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness” (see
Separation Of Church And State), will attain
the promised results -- and this promise cannot
be achieved by those who become spiritual
dropouts -- i.e., "And
why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV).
But as the original teachings became
institutionalized under secular control,
charlatan priests and clergy (see The Example Of
Paul Of Samosata at
http://nazirene.org/unfaithful2.htm#clergy )
peddled dogmatic shortcuts that they seduced the
people into believing, which manmade dogma
eliminated the need to strive and fulfill the
original spiritual objectives of
"...the heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness” -- with a greater
number of dogmatic dispensations being invented
in order to circumvent the process of higher
development -- to the degree where the focus of
the priests became the dispensing of instant
salvation for the purpose of acquiring mammon
and the political power over the people. And
when the remaining spiritual core of Spiritual
Christians objected, they were condemned as
heretics, hunted down and murdered. As an
example of how the Christian world was literally
forced to adhere to the dogma of the secular
priests and emperors, when the doctrine of the
pre-existent soul was outlawed by the Emperor
Justinian, the Britannica confirms that the
emperor then forced his will upon the Church
when he
"...banished the pope to
Egypt
, and afterwards to an island, until he
accepted the Council, which he ultimately did"
(see
http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm ).
After accepting the decree of the emperor after
seven months of imprisonment on an island, the
pope met with an untimely death. Most of the
modern-day doctrines of the Church was forced
upon the Christian world in this same violent
manner -- and the vast majority of modern-day
believes are all victims of what has come to be
known as the Stockholm Syndrome.
Wise men have
long understood that what is holographically
true with respect to the unfolding of the
sequence of the steps that form an octave in
music, is in like manner holographically true of
all the organic Laws of Creation. Which means
that an initial movement in the first sequence
which is portrayed in music as that sequence of
Doe, is automatically checked in the reflection
of the second sequence of Re -- and is tested in
the third-force sequence which is the fruit of
the first and second sequences leading into Mi
-- resulting in either a twisting of the
sequences in a manner that man's organic senses
do not immediately sense and recognize, or the
opening of a new door/gate that is beyond the
perception of organic man whose efforts remain
earth-bound in the turning of the sequences.
In fact, the senses of man are imbued with a
natural progression that is endemic to his
being, that is ultimately responsible for his
success or failure in any endeavor. The
expanse of time -- or even the unfoldment of the
movement, is all built into the natural
progression of the Laws. Thus, the time-span
between the initial movement and the reflective
second sequence which is the initial feed-back
of the Laws, is greatly dependent upon the
complexity and proportions of the first cause of
the initial movement of the sequence. And
this natural progression evolves in the
third-force which is the fruit of the two
initial sequences. And wise men who understand
the Laws, comprehend that it is at this point
where the natural progression is tested and
either turned back upon itself in the manner of
a person who has arisen to the highest point in
his attempt to jump and defy gravity -- or, if
the organic twisting of the progression of the
sequences are overcome, to move onward beyond
natural organic physical limitations.
In the case of
examination by reason, human reasoning must
itself contain a large degree of fullness, in
order to begin to open the door/gate that gives
birth to the facilities of Higher Reasoning that
is beyond organic limitations. For the reasons
outlined in the article
An Inconvenient Truth, the Apostle Peter
portrays the initial tests of human reasoning as
the tests presented in what he portrays the
scriptures as the
Mystery of the Books with the Power to Deceive.
If your vision of either the scriptures, or any
aspect of life itself, is immature and lacks
depth of understanding, then you will fail the
tests that are written into the text of the
scriptures as a test -- as are the
inconsistencies that you encounter in all of
life. And thus, Peter states that
"...Let not
any one of you, therefore, altogether complain
of Simon, or of any one else; for nothing
happens unjustly, since even the falsehoods of
Scripture are with good reason presented for a
test.” What is the reason
for the test? In the same way that for our own
good, such things as the Law of Gravity checks
our attempt to become free of the influence of
the earth -- the Laws which bring about the
natural progression of our movements, are
themselves imbued with the innate bio-feedback
qualities to test and check these same movements
for wholeness and fullness -- because it is
impossible for what is incomplete to succeed
beyond a certain step or progression in the
sequence of actions. In the same way that an
embryo that is not correctly balanced across the
spectrum of male/female chromosomes is in most
cases self-aborted and miscarried, so too is all
the efforts of man checked by the very Laws that
initiated the natural sequences of progression,
imbued with the power to return the movement to
its initial sequence in accord with the results
of the testing at the third to fourth sequence
of progression.
By virtue of the
self-initiating testing of the Laws, without
an understanding of the what the Deists
portrayed as the Laws of Nature and Nature's
God, all governments are doomed to failure --
all religions are spiritually flat-lined -- all
philosophies are proven to be spurious -- all
seekers will search in vain -- and all efforts
of men and women everywhere will remain shallow
at best. And while this knowledge of the Laws
can be portrayed as our divine birthright to
possess, throughout history only small groups of
wise men and women have possessed this
knowledge, and have used it for the benefit of
both themselves, and other wise men and women
who desired the fruit of the Tree of Life that
bestows upon the eater thereof, the secretes to
unlocking the potential to every aspect of
life. To be ignorant of the Laws that the
Deists and other groups throughout history have
understood and utilized in the proper way, is to
invite absolute failure into one's efforts
throughout every aspect of life.
Deism arose out
of what was called the Age of Enlightenment --
also know as the Age of Reason -- and is
portrayed in the words:
"To understand the natural world and
humankind's place in it solely on the basis of
reason and without turning to religious belief
was the goal of the wide-ranging intellectual
movement called the Enlightenment. The movement
claimed the allegiance of a majority of thinkers
during the 17th and 18th centuries, a period
that Thomas Paine called the Age of Reason. At
its heart it became a conflict between religion
and the inquiring mind that wanted to know and
understand through reason based on evidence and
proof" (see
International World History Project --
subheading
The Age of Enlightenment). And what is not
at all understood is the fact that in essence,
the summation that the Age of Enlightenment was
representative of "...a
conflict between religion and the inquiring
mind" -- but rather, a continuation
of the enduring struggle and perpetual conflict
that is presented in the article
An Inconvenient Truth.
Is what we call
religion, truly the expression of genuine
religion? Or is what most people call religion
more factually secular-religious philosophy that
not only inhibits, but is mistaken for genuine
spiritual religion? Throughout man's history
the outward forms of religion has always been
dictated by the secular or quasi-secular
authorities who used traditional religion to
control the thinking and lives of the people.
From an historical perspective: If the teachings
of Jesus represented the truth of spiritual
religion, then the rejection of this truth on
the part of the Pharisees is representative of
the secularized-religion of the people.
Contrary to popular misconceptions, in the
original Gospel teachings the person of Jesus
was a man who became the Messiah/Christ (see
The Ten Words)
-- and having attained this Power of
Enlightenment, the man Jesus is portrayed as
having achieved Oneness with the Indwelling
Logos (Mind
of God). That this essential truth was
again rejected by the secular-religion of the
Gentiles under the banner of Orthodox, is merely
further proof that secular-religion is not the
valid expression of genuine religion which is
spiritual in nature. Which means that the
Deists who became enlightened and opposed
organized religion, did so because of the
counterfeit structure of secular-religion in
relation to genuine spiritual-religion.
If we pose the
question: Is traditional religion a search for
truth? Or is it (1) a means to fill the coffers
of the collection plate? (2) fill the pews in
the endeavor to gain political power and
advantage? (3) used by politicians to control
the thinking and lives of the people? In the
same way that Jesus was rejected by both the
Pharisees and the Gentile Church which both
rejected the essential spiritual teachings in
favor of manmade dogma -- organized religion is
at best a shadow of the original teachings which
is represented in the reality of spiritual
religion -- which is always condemned as heresy
by the authorities who control the thinking of
the people. That those who have been on the
side of truth have always been hunted down and
opposed as heretics, is representative of the
true essence of the struggle and conflict. To
answer the question: Is the traditional
religions of the people the truth? Perhaps the
perfect example of the folly of traditional
religion is that which can only be portrayed as
the insanity of the Christian world with respect
to
The Jesus Test. To knowingly edit the
words which the Gospel states was spoken by God
to mankind in order to adopt pagan beliefs, must
be seen as an apostasy even more evil than those
who hammered the spikes into the hands of Jesus.
The fact that
what we would portray as organic human reasoning
must be free to express itself, in order for
Higher Reasoning that transcends organic human
limitations to be born -- and the development of
Higher Reasoning is always one of the key
objectives of True Religion -- only with this
enlightened (Age of Enlightenment)
understanding, can we even begin to understand
the perpetual struggle at its core. Higher
Reason and Knowledge which is often portrayed as
being esoteric, was always condemned as heresy
by the pseudo-religion of common man, because it
always threatened the power structure of the
authorities -- whether these authorities were
quasi-religious in their cloak of appearance, or
non-religious and Atheist in their outer form.
In the example of Thomas Paine in the above,
while he opposed the Church, he was not only
opposed by the king of England -- but he was
prosecuted in absentia and sentenced to death
for opposing the power structure of England
which used the religious cloak in its endeavor
to control the thinking of the people.
Therefore, it must be understood that when we
attempt to define the conflict between reason
and religion, it is imperative to recognize that
traditional religion is pseudo-religion -- and
quasi-religion at best. And that the real
conflict is in fact an internal religious
struggle between the outer spurious system of
counterfeit religious-facade and the
pseudo-authorities who use and control that
facade like wolves in sheep's attire, in their
perpetual war with the inner core who are
representative of the spiritual essence of
religion -- who are portrayed as heretics and
enemies of both church and state. @@@###
Confining our
present understanding to that of our Common Era,
when the Church of the Roman Empire hunted down
and murdered the Ebionites and Spiritual
(Gnostic) Christians who refused to adhere to
the religious doctrines of the emperor, the
Spirit of Christianity was put to death, and
what was preserved was a corpse that was secular
in nature -- and had absolutely nothing in
common with the essence of the original
spiritual teachings of Jesus. That valid
religion must be spiritual in nature -- and
spiritual religion is based upon a foundation of
genuine knowledge and the expression of reason
in all things -- then we must reevaluate the
statement that the Age of Enlightenment was
representative of
"...a conflict between religion and the
inquiring mind" -- and instead
recognize that what is spurious and counterfeit
always opposes what is true and genuine.
Further, we must also recognize that in order
for Higher Reasoning to be born, what can best
be portrayed as organic human reasoning must be
unshackled and free to express itself in its
avenues of inquiry. The fact that truth is
never diminished by disbelief -- and reason is
never negated by irrationality -- insures that
Higher Truth and Reason is perpetually awaiting
rediscovery whenever it is hidden under the garb
of man's folly, superstition and ignorance that
is promoted by pseudo-religion and counterfeit
authority.
In the example of
Christianity: When Jesus warned that the vast
majority of mankind dwells in what he portrayed
as the "outer darkness"
of mind and being (see
Outer Darkness), what is not understood is
the fact that this disenfranchised condition
which is often portrayed as man's organic
blindness to what lies beyond his physical
senses, is the result of man's own mindset that
alienates him from the Source of Truth within
himself. What is important to recognize is
the fact that the solution to overcoming the
blindness that Jesus portrayed as the
"outer darkness"
of mind and being, was for the individual to put
on the necessary
"wedding garment". And it must
also be noted that those people who were
considered the "chosen
ones", received an even worse fate
than the common people who had not yet put on
the "wedding garment".
And the fact that the scriptures openly warn
that the fate of the believers who are
complacent, is worse than that of the
unbelievers (see
http://TheLie.org ) -- and when analyzed,
this complacency can only be portrayed as
Christian Insanity (see
The Jesus Test) -- then it becomes truly
difficult to even understand how the
congregation of believers even think.
And once this
segmentation of mind and being is understood as
the natural result of the Laws which the Deists
often referred to as the Laws of Nature and
Nature's God, it is man's own disenfranchised
condition of mind brought about by his ignorance
of these Laws that not only alienates him from
the Source of Truth -- but maintains the great
barrier to his perception of Truth and Reason
which the biblical author's warned was beyond
man's organic mindset (see
Mystery). In the same way that a great
mountain range creates a barrier between a
lowland and what exists on the other side of the
peaks, there exists a natural organic barrier
that is both created, and maintained by the
natural Laws -- and this barrier exists within
the mind of man that insulates him from what
lies beyond. Again, from a Christian
perspective, this esoteric knowledge of the Laws
was taught to the disciples by Jesus -- and it
was this body of esoteric knowledge that
permitted them to escape and move beyond the
organic barrier within their own mind and being
-- enabling them to enter the Inner Kingdom and
learn all Truths from the Source. That this
body of esoteric knowledge was lost by the
Church -- and became outlawed as heresy by the
pseudo-authorities of the Church -- only means
that the Church by virtue of its adoption of
Pagan Roman doctrines of belief, disenfranchised
those who adopted and embraced the system of
pseudo-religious beliefs. In
contradistinction, those who released themselves
from the shackles of manmade Church dogma, and
pursued a search from Truth, were able to meet
with varying degrees of success because the
Source of Truth remains within them beyond the
natural barrier maintained by the Laws (of
Nature and Nature's God). That the acquisition
and access to Higher Reasoning, is therefore
born from the enlightened exercise of human
reasoning that enables a person to reject the
superstition and manmade dogma of the Church in
their search for truth, represents an integral
element of the true Spiritual Religious Path of
True Enlightenment. Therefore, the Deists who
emerged out of the Age of Enlightenment, applied
the God-Given Gift of Reason and Knowledge of
the Laws of Nature and Nature's God, to reject
the dogmatic folly of traditional
institutionalized religion which was manmade and
maintained under secular control, as a
spring-board to tap into the Source of Higher
Reasoning that resided on the other side of the
natural barrier within their own mind and being
-- as is the case with all of mankind.
Therefore, those who we call Deists today were
very much the seekers of the esoteric knowledge
that was possessed by the original disciples of
Jesus -- and thus, they were truly Gnostic (Experiential
Spiritual Knowledge).
In many respects,
after the people broke free of the folly of the
Church of Rome, it can be realized that Deism
grew out of the absolute irrationality and
insanity that was promoted by the leaders of the
Reformation, Calvin and Luther -- i.e., Deism
stood in opposition to Luther's Folly which was
a total rejection of rational thought as seen in
Luther's declaration
“Reason
is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never
comes to the aid of spiritual things, but - more
frequently than not - struggles against the
divine Word, treating with contempt all that
emanates from God” (Quoted in: The
Great Thoughts; compiled by George Seldes).
Deists understood the Laws of Nature and
Nature's God, because they received this
esoteric knowledge directly from the Source --
which is in fact the same true objective as
traditional religion which modern people
associated with Deism portray as
"revealed religion".
While this body of esoteric knowledge was always
available to all of mankind, they perpetually
alienated themselves from the Source of
Knowledge because they subjected their thinking
to the doctrines and dogma of men. Further, in
not understanding the application of the
Key of
Knowledge, even the modern neo-Deists are as
ignorant of the true meaning of the scriptures
as is the faith-based religions which they often
oppose.
Those who understood
the Laws, and had themselves began to embrace
and tap into the Higher Reasoning and Knowledge
of the Source, understood that the true
purpose of the Constitutional form of government
in the United States was to create the necessary
environment that would enable man to achieve his
true potential of enlightenment. The manmade
doctrines and pseudo-knowledge of the Church,
stood in direct opposition to man's process of
advancement and enlightenment. But, in the
same way that the American people have not even
begun to bring about the full potential which
the Constitution was envisioned to manifest,
neither has the Church envisioned the true
potential or meaning of the very Bibles which
they champion and promote. And in this
respect, both our Constitutional form of
government and the Gospels have been drawn from
the same Source -- in order to open the door to
the same objectives -- and because the people
have failed to seize the opportunity that both
our Constitutional form of Government and the
Gospels have presented, mankind remains under a
cloud of self-imposed ignorance. @@@
While it is true
that the American people do not at all
understand the Deist foundation of the
Constitution, perhaps even more objectionable is
the fact that a segment of modern Atheists has
begun to promote themselves as Deists on the
basis of the Deist opposition to organized
religion. The problem is seen in the fact that
the Deists were not at all Atheists -- and their
very enlightened understanding of the Laws which
are embodied in the words:
"...the separate and equal station to which
the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them...", are representative of a
mind enlightened by Creator-God. What the
Atheists fail to understand is the fact that it
is the expansion of Reason beyond organic carnal
limitations that is responsible for the position
of Deism as presented in the words:
"Deism
...is the standpoint that
reason and observation
of the
natural world, without
the need for organized religion, can determine
that a
supreme being created
the
universe. Further the
term often implies that this supreme being does
not intervene in human affairs or suspend the
natural laws of the universe.
Deists typically
reject supernatural events such as
prophecy and
miracles, tending to
assert that God (or "The
Supreme Architect")
has a plan for the universe that is not to be
altered by intervention in the affairs of human
life. Deists believe in the existence of God
without any reliance on revealed religion,
religious authority or
holy books" (see
Deism). What the Christian fails to
understand is the fact that the man known as the
Apostle Paul basically stated the same exact
truths that are expressed in the above words
which most Christians condemn. And what the
quasi-Atheists who claims to be a Deist by
virtue of their opposition to organized religion
fails to comprehend, is the fact that to even
hold such a position which the Deists promoted,
requires a higher knowledge and reason than what
can be associated with normal human
consciousness. Therefore, it can be set forth
that either the Deists themselves had access to
a higher revelation not perceived and understood
by the vast majority of mankind, or they were
themselves a fraud because they would have had
to manufacture this doctrinal position. And if
the Deists were a fraud, then the Atheists and
Secular Progressives are correct in their quest
to abandon the Constitution, and the whole
concept of UnAlienable God-Given Rights must be
seen as spurious. So, which are they? The
recipient of a higher rational thought by virtue
of an enlightened understanding? An
enlightened understanding that enables them to
perceive and comprehend what neither the Atheist
or Theist possesses the vision to understand?
Or were the Deists just a group of charlatans
who manufactured a doctrine in opposition to
that held by traditional western religion? The
most important concept in the above statement
that neither Theists or Atheists understand is
seen in the words that the
"...Supreme being does not
intervene in human affairs or suspend the
natural laws of the universe ...assert[ing] that
God (or "The Supreme Architect") has a plan for
the universe that is not to be altered by
intervention in the affairs of human life."
Why? Unless the Deist can explain the position
that the Divine Plan of Creator-God
"...for the universe that
is not to be altered by intervention in the
affairs of human life" -- and further
explain how they arrived as such a position that
others do not perceive using reason -- then
Deism itself must be considered an anti-revealed
religion hoax. Yet, in contradistinction, I
can demonstrate the validity of this Deist
position by stating: Because the Will and
Purpose as set forth in the Objectives of
Creator-God was laid down in the beginning, and
the very Spiritual DNA of the Laws (of God) are
charged with the responsibility of bringing this
Higher Will, Purpose and Objectives about, there
simply is no need for
"...intervention in the affairs of human life".
And that God's Work was Perfect, means that
there is no reason for tweaking and intervention
in the Divine Plan that faith-based and carnal
reasoning is incapable of comprehending.
With these facts
stated, I will briefly demonstrate
conclusively that while Deists stated that God
can be revealed through the use of Reason, they
were not speaking of either carnal reasoning
from an Atheist perspective, or the blind-faith
reasoning associated with organized religion.
In the same way that there is earthly knowledge
and Heavenly Knowledge, there is earthly
reasoning which is by its very nature bound and
limited to the things of this world, and there
is a Heavenly Reasoning and Intellect to which
the Laws and Truths of all Realities are
presented and revealed to the mind of the
spiritually mature Seeker of Truth and the
Kingdom. And that, because both Atheism and
organized religion stifles and impedes the
development of this Heavenly Knowledge, is the
reason why the Deists opposed the Church. But
even more important is the fact that the
founding documents and the Constitution of the
United States can not only be portrayed as a
Gift from God -- but it is this Gift that laid
the foundation for men of Heavenly Reason and
Heavenly Knowledge to emerge from the ignorance
that immersed the Church and Europe in the Dark
Ages. And that man is presently entering a
new phase of Dark Ages brought about by the
folly of Atheism and carnal reasoning -- and the
Church has thus far failed to inhibit this new
phase of Dark Ages from engulfing the minds and
lives of the people -- is the very reason why
the time has come to understand the Deist
perspective of the Constitution and the
"...Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God".
In the same way
that, because the Church rejected the original
vision and objectives of the original authors of
the Gospels -- condemning these holy men of
enlightened vision as heretics -- the modern
world knows virtually nothing about either the
man Jesus, or the core disciples who are
allegorically portrayed in the Gospels (see
An Inconvenient Truth). In like manner,
because the American people know virtually
nothing of any substance regarding the core
Deists who, in spite of both the Christians and
the elitist's who wanted to form a monarchy like
the governments of Europe which they were
accustomed to, formed the framework of our
Constitutional government that few Americans
even comprehend the vision and potential of this
Gift from God to mankind. And I submit that in
the same way that the Deists were privy to a
higher direct revelation that surpassed the
limits of normal human reasoning -- and that
this direct revelation of the core Deists was in
harmony with the vision and objectives of the
authors of the Gospels who were in like manner
rejected as heretics -- the framework of the
Constitutional government which they brought
forth, was borne of this Enlightened Vision that
organic man is blind to, by virtue of his own
failure to properly develop his higher
facilities of mind that is the shared objective
of the Gospel authors. And because Americans
are truly ignorant of the knowledge of our
Nations forefathers, they are presently
squandering away a gift that would be almost
impossible to restore once it is lost.
Atheists and
Secular Progressives are presently waging a war
with the concept of God-Given UnAlienable Rights
-- and because the American people have
virtually no understanding of what the Deists
portrayed as the Laws of Nature and Nature's God
-- or how these Laws orchestrate our nations
success or failure -- they are rapidly embracing
Atheist and Secular Progressive leaders who seek
to undermine what they call the whole concept of
American Exceptionalism. Yet, it was the very
Laws that the core Deists understood when they
designed the framework of our Constitutional
form of government, that brought about the
unparalleled success of the American people.
And these same American people remain ignorant
of both the Laws, as well as the Source of
Knowledge that our Deist forefathers tapped
into, that motivates a great many of modern
Americans to surrender their freedom and liberty
to the very forces of worldly power that seeks
to enslave them. Thus, the time has come for
the American people to be enlightened as to the
higher reality of the God-Given Gift that they
are presently squandering away. Therefore, the
next three main chapters and sub-chapters will
provide the reader a behind the scenes insight
into how and why the core enlightened Deists
were able to invoke and use the Laws to benefit
the whole of the American people in ways that
few understand today.
Modern man has
absolutely no idea with respect to the depth and
reality of what would be defined as True
Spiritual Religion. Traditional religion
which is faith-based, has basically remained
shallow by virtue of rejecting Spiritual
Knowledge -- and in practice, it can be said
that faith-based religion dwells under the cloak
of a Vow Of Ignorance. To the degree that the
majority of the people who consider themselves
religious, do not even understand the difference
between religion and philosophy. And to their
own detriment, faith-based religion has
permitted secular authorities to not only define
religion -- placing religion in a very confined
box that equates to a spiritual coffin -- but it
is in fact this secular perception of religion
that has become the downfall of the modern
Church. The clergy who are themselves without
a rudder in the sea of confusion, promote Social
Justice and Marxist government programs as the
fulfillment of the Gospel. Yet, when the core
principles and objectives of the Gospel is truly
understood, nothing could be further from the
truth than what is being preached from these
spiritually disenfranchised pulpits.
The next chapters
below will deal with the Deist framework of our
Constitutional form of government which is under
severe attack today. Why is this knowledge
important today? In the words of John Adams:
"But a Constitution of
Government once changed from Freedom, can never
be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost
forever." And with the loss of
liberty very quickly follows the loss of the
essential First Amendment Freedoms that form the
basis of enlightenment and the path to man's
higher objectives and goals. Again, John
Adams rightfully warned:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral
and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
the government of any other.” When
John Adams makes reference to the need of
religion in a Constitutional government, the
practice of religion meant something entirely
different to him than it does to most Christians
today. As a Deist, in true John Lennon
fashion, Adams also said:
“This would be the best of all possible
worlds, if there were no religion in it”.
Yet, it was this same John Adams who was the
vice president under George Washington, and our
second president who wrote about the essence of
Deism that is not at all understood today:
“The ten commandments
and the sermon on the mount contain my religion”
(see
Encyclopedia Britannica: Johan Adams, Deism and
Religious Philosophy). Thus, from John
Adam's Deist perspective, religion was the
lifestyle and the practice of the person's
religious philosophy, which was in fact the
means to bring about the manifestation of a
person's beliefs in the life that they are
living. The Revelation of Creator-God is not
made to a Church or organized religion -- but
rather, to individuals who create within
themselves a condition that enables them to tap
into the Higher Source of Knowledge that both
organized religion, Atheists and Secular
Progressives all equally reject. And from a
biblical perspective, this spiritual condition
is portrayed a the refinement of self to make
one's self the "good
ground" that Jesus said was required
to possess any degree of enlightened reason and
understanding (see
The Sower And The Seed).
An interesting and
appropriate statement by one of the earliest
authorities of the Church is that made by
Clement of Alexandria when he compared the
inherent weakness of faith-based religion, to
that of the Spiritual Christians who had
acquired the Sacred Knowledge (Gnosis) of the
Kingdom -- i.e.,
“Faith
is the foundation; knowledge the superstructure,
by knowledge faith is perfected, for to know is
more than to believe. Faith is a summary
knowledge of urgent truths; knowledge a sure
demonstration of what has been received through
faith, being itself reared upon faith through
the teachings of the Lord.
Thus
the Gnostic grasps the complete truth of all
revelation from the beginning of the world to
the end, piercing to the depths of scripture, of
which the believer tastes the surface only.
As a consequence of this intelligent sympathy
with the Divine Will, the Gnostic becomes in
perfect unity in himself, and as far as possible
like God. Definite outward observances cease to
have any value for one whose being is brought
into abiding harmony with that which is eternal;
he has no wants, no passions; he rests in the
contemplation of God, which is and will be his
unfailing blessedness.”
The problem is that
where Clement portrays the reality of
"...the Gnostic [who] grasps the complete truth
of all revelation from the beginning of the
world to the end", those who
possessed the Divine Knowledge of the higher
reality of the soul and the Kingdom of God were
condemned as heretics by the counterfeit leaders
of the Church and the series of Roman Emperors
who controlled Church doctrine and dogma. And
thus, because the history of the Church is a
perpetual environment of government control of
not only Church doctrine -- but also the very
definition of religion itself -- this
secularized political environment which is
actually counterfeit-religion confused with what
is genuine spiritual religion, has resulted in
the fact that both the faith-based Churches, as
well as government, have colluded to embrace
this secular definition of religion. Why?
Why was the segment of the Church that portrayed
itself as Orthodox totally ignorant of the core
objectives of the Gospel teachings? Seeking to
be benefactors of a worldly government that had
the inherent secular power to totally corrupt
the Church itself? Because the Church itself
lacks an understanding of the very core
objectives of a True Spiritual Religion -- and
this fact remains true to this very day. For
the most part, what is practiced in our Churches
today would be better defined as secular
institutionalized religion that has virtually
little to nothing in common with the original
core objectives and teachings of Jesus and the
Gospels. In truth, the Churches have lost
their way because of the manmade doctrines of
belief that were imposed upon the Church by
government in the past who used religion as a
means to maintain rule over the thinking of the
people. To oppose government authority, was to
oppose God -- with the punishment of a promised
eternal hell.
Once properly
understood, it can be said that the critics
of the Church -- many of whom are Secular
Progressives and Atheists -- themselves have
absolutely no idea as to the the spiritual
reality and objectives of religion with respect
to opening the door to achieving man's ultimate
potential. Where the Atheists should be
assisting the religious world to escape their
beliefs of a self-created Demiurge -- by helping
them search for and see the Truth and the
esoteric meaning of the written word of the
scriptures -- they have instead chosen to walk
an equal path of ignorance. And since all
valid knowledge begins with the knowledge of
one's self -- i.e., Jesus in the Gospel of
Thomas proclaims: "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"
-- then the Atheists who reject the self-created
Demiurge of much of the religious world, simply
has not excuse for their own blind ignorance.
And as one comes
to understand the journey of the soul -- and
how, from lifetime to lifetime, the soul often
switches polarities in the conflicts of life --
a very different picture of self and this world
begins to emerge. This more enlightened
world-view which is portrayed as the Far Country
in the parable of the prodigal son, is in fact
God's Schoolhouse which is necessary to evolve
all of mankind from the Alpha of ignorance, to
the Omega of Absolute Knowing. But just as
important is the fact that the Laws made
reference to by the Deists are seen as the
forces and guideposts which accomplish this task
of evolving all souls to completion and
perfection, by forcing each individual to
confront their own actions, inactions and
complacency to what they should have done. Many
times this involves a reversal of roles, as each
person directly confronts their own past actions
and ways. As an example: Many of the Atheist
activists today who oppose the Church, were the
fire and brimstone preachers of the more distant
past. Yet, while the Atheists and the
faith-based believers often switch polarities
from life to life, their common enemy is the
people of True Spiritual Religion who seek the
Divine Manna (Gnosis/Knowledge) of the
Kingdom. And if we pose the question: Why has
the practice of Genuine Spiritual Religion
remained suppressed by both church and state?
The answer is very simple -- i.e., it is
impossible for those who possess the Knowledge
of the soul and the Gnosis of the Kingdom to be
led and ruled over by despots -- both secular
and sectarian. And thus, in order to rule
over the people, the counterfeit clergy and
pseudo-Atheist intellectuals -- in conjunction
with despotic secular rulers -- must keep the
people ignorant of man's higher spiritual
reality.
The modern
congregation of faith-based believers in many
ways are the victims of government intervention
into the affairs of religion that has brought
about the spiritual disenfranchisement of the
Church. In many ways it can be said that they
have become afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome --
i.e., they are now championing the thinking and
doctrines of their despotic oppressors. In the
same way that Atheists and Secular Progressives
are presently striving to undermine the concept
of God-Given UnAlienable Constitutional Rights,
the political power of fourth century secular
Rome intervened in religious affairs, and
succeeded in destroying the spiritual essence of
the Church when it hunted down and murdered
those Christians who refused to accept the
religious doctrines of the emperor. When the
pagan Christians who called themselves Orthodox
entered into a covenant with the ruthless
Emperor Constantine, the first of the Gospel
accounts to be rewritten in order to make it
better support the doctrines of Pagan Rome, was
the Book of Acts (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ). The original
Gospel accounts was focused on the core
objective of the return of the prodigal sons and
daughters to the Kingdom of the Father which
they abandoned in the Alpha of Creation (see
http://GateOfEden.com ) -- and the Book of
Acts was representative of a series of important
scriptures which portrayed this evolution of the
individual from an existence as ordinary people,
into Anointed (Messiah/Christ) men and women who
not only knew all Truths, but were allegorically
portrayed as being able to perform even greater
miracles than did Jesus himself, in the original
Gospel accounts. But, in order to use
Christianity to enable both the government and
the pseudo-clergy to rule over the people, the
very core objectives of the Gospels had to be
censored and suppressed. And thus, it was the
initial rewriting of the Book of Acts that
caused the Ebionite Nazirenes and the Spiritual
(Gnostic) Christians to hold council and decide
upon the preservation of seven (7) libraries of
scriptures that had not been corrupted by the
Church of Constantine (see
Pure Scriptures Do Exist). Why were these
more pure scriptures so important to preserve?
Unlike the multitude of faith-based believers,
both the Ebionite Nazirenes and the Spiritual
Christians understood the journey and perfection
of the soul over the course of many lifetimes
(see
The Ten Reasons Why The Church Rejects The
Reality Of The Pre-Existent Soul) -- and the
spiritually evolved souls sought to preserve the
sacred writings, so they would be available to
them when their souls return to this world in a
future lifetime (see
An Inconvenient Truth). In understanding
the Laws -- and the relevance of the statement:
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man
reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7
NIV) -- by actively defying the
emperor and his Church, and working to preserve
the pure scriptures -- it was understood that
the Laws would return access to these same
scriptures to these same souls in the future.
As set forth by the pre-Nicene Church Father
Origen:
“Every soul...
comes into this world strengthened by the
victories or weakened by the defeats of its
previous life”
(Origen, De Principiis - see
Chickens Come Home To Roost).
By properly applying what Jesus portrayed as
the Key of
Knowledge to the scriptures, they were able
to spiritually restore themselves and regain
access to the Kingdom within.
While many
faith-based religious people may take exception
to the above statements, they do so not only to
their own pearl, but they reject these
statements because they fail to even understand
what a Spiritual Religion is. An
institutionalized Church which is common to this
world, exists on a horizontal plane. And
because it lacks depth -- failing to grow root
within the individual (see
Sower And The Seed), and produce the
necessary spiritual fruit that brings about the
promised manifestation of the Kingdom within the
congregation of believers -- faith-based
religion instead (like a politician who seduces
the people with their words) promises life after
death -- or, the anticipation of a Kingdom that
will come upon the earth at some future date
when certain unknown requirements are
fulfilled. And it is a fact that every
Doomsday prophet has perpetually predicted the
End Times in every generation since the
scriptures were written. The only
indisputable fact with respect to
the countless false prophesies, is that the
making of the prophesy has been very lucrative
to promote. The prophets of doom have often
lived lavish lifestyles off the collection plate
that has been received in the name of God and
the approaching End Times. As perhaps one
classic example: Pope Gregory I, who as pope was
declared to be infallible, persuaded the rich
people in his day that the end of the world was
at hand, and if they wanted to go to heaven,
they had better pass on their property to the
church before the coming of the great day. The
result was that the Papacy became the richest
land owner in Europe. This same prediction --
that the end of the world has arrived and is
imminent -- has been repeated an uncountable
number of times in every generation since the
beginning of our common era. The Jehovah's
Witnesses, the Seventh Day Adventists, as well
as many other Christian sects, were all born
from failed Doomsday Prophesies where the
faith-based believers who did not understand the
application of the Key of Knowledge, continued
to promote their error instead of seeking to
understand the spiritual meaning of the End
Times prophesies of the scriptures -- each
continuing to embrace and promote the error of
their understanding into subsequent generations
of spiritually disenfranchised believers.
When their prophesies fail to come about as
predicted, instead of examining their thinking
that caused them to arrive at their erroneous
predictions,
In a faith-based
religion where knowledge is shunned and
condemned as heresy, blind acceptance is
required in the doctrines of the cult's
respective leaders -- with the promise of reward
or punishment when one's physical life has been
culminated here on earth. In
contradistinction, Spiritual Religion is the
means to prove the core doctrines of belief
while the seeker is still alive in the physical
body. But in order to bring about this higher
spiritual objective, one must build upon the
proper and balanced framework of mind and being
-- i.e., the seeker must become the
"good ground"
in the parable of the
Sower And The Seed. While faith-based
religion does not care about or understand the
need for the required foundation, this
foundation was paramount in the thinking and
objectives of our Deist Founding Fathers who
framed our Constitutional form of government.
In understanding the Laws, they acknowledged
that each and every man, woman and child is the
offspring of their Heavenly Father -- and like
the prodigal son, possesses an inheritance that
few understand the higher reality of. Part of
the necessary equation is seen in the reality
that to bring about the greatest success, the
people must be free of despotic rule by both
Church and state, in order to manifest the
foundational mindset and lifestyle to bring
about what is portrayed as the inheritance of
the prodigal son. And thus, the great success
-- and what is often portrayed as American
Exceptionalism -- is the direct result of the
work of our Deist framers to manifest the proper
foundation of government that would initiate the
Laws that permit advancement, which would in
turn inaugurate this great success enjoyed by
the American people.
When properly
understood, Judaism has remained a spiritually
flat-lined institutionalized religion, because
Judaism itself was an ancient Mystery Religion
that is not at all understood by the very people
who call themselves Jews today. Jesus
condemned the leaders of the Jewish sects of the
Sadducees and Pharisees -- not because of their
unbelief -- but rather, because they promoted
blind faith in the doctrines of men. What
Jesus portrayed as the
Key of Knowledge was thrown away by a body
of secular minded carnal rabbis such as the
Pharisees -- who only possessed a very surface
knowledge of the scriptures -- i.e.,
"Jesus answered and
said to them, You are mistaken, not knowing the
Scriptures nor the power of God"
(Matt 22:29 NKJ). Thus, because they lacked
true depth of understanding, Jesus portrayed
them as blind guides who had thrown away the Key
of Knowledge -- 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, the test of the validity of the
Jewish religious teachers and leaders, was in
fact seen as their success in the endeavor to
"...enter the Kingdom [them]selves"
-- and it was their failure to bring
about this spiritual objective that caused Jesus
to condemn than as
"blind guides" whose spiritual folly
"...prevent[ed] others
from entering"!!! But in view of
the fact that the Church of Rome followed in the
same exact path and footsteps as the carnal
Jews, what is stated in Jesus' words is just as
applicable to the modern Church, as it was to
the carnal Jewish leaders who Jesus condemned.
Spiritual
Religion: What is a Spiritual Religion?
One of the problems that modern man has in
comprehending the validity of religion is seen
in the fact that he cannot differentiate and
understand the marked differences between
philosophy as a theory that is ascribed to,
quasi-religious-philosophy which is a
faith-based belief system, and genuine religion
which is a mindset and lifestyle necessary to
prove one's philosophy. And
from this perspective, the vast differences
between faith-based religious-philosophy and
genuine religion which was embraced by the core
visionaries of the Age of Reason, opens the Pandora's Box of the foundation of
man's thinking. The whole concept of
religion as a means to prove the Truth -- in
contradistinction to blind-faith and speculative
belief -- has virtually no place in modern man's
understanding. In many instances,
those who are looked upon as esteamed clergy and
religious experts and scholars, are merely
parroting the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors
who oversaw the corruption of the Bible, and
ruled over the doctrines of the Church.
Therefore, what
we erroneously define as religion today, is in
reality little more than
speculative religious philosophy that is
counterfeit from a genuine religious
perspective -- and this fact is simply inconceivable to the
modern believer who is of the position that he
is required to exercise blind acceptance as a
test of his faith. And perhaps even
more important is the fact that many of the core
visionaries of the Age of Enlightenment -- men
and women of evolved Intellect and Reason --
some of whom were the very Deists and Masons who
formed the foundational bedrock of the American
Constitution -- understood the counterfeit
nature of the Church -- because they had
personal access to the Pure Source of Truth that
should have been the purpose and objective of
Christianity to act as guides in TheWay.
To understand the essence of a
Spiritual Religion vs quasi-religious-philosophy, you must first understand
why Jesus condemned and rejected the Jewish
teachers and those portrayed as
"...experts in religious law" as
being spiritually counterfeit. The allegation
of Jesus' words is seen in the fact that there
exists what he called a
Key of Knowledge -- and when this Key of
Knowledge is properly applied, then the person
possesses the ability to enter the Inner Kingdom --
i.e., Jesus said to the Jewish authorities: "...For you hide
the key to knowledge from the people. You don't
enter the Kingdom yourselves,
and you prevent others
from entering."
Thus, the objective of a Spiritual Religion is
to reveal and properly apply the
Key of Knowledge in such a way, that the
person gains access to the Kingdom -- which
Kingdom Jesus said was equally within each of us (see Luke
17:20-21 @
http://GateOfEden.com ). And the fact that
the carnal Jews who, in their very limited
understanding of the scriptures, was teaching
the people to look for the Kingdom of God to
come outwardly upon the earth -- in the same way
that Christians today look for the Second Coming
-- it is seen that the leaders of both the Jews
and the Christians had in fact hidden and thrown
away the Key of Knowledge. Failing to fulfill
the requirement of entering the Inner Kingdom
themselves -- which by definition made them blind guides who
"...prevent others from
entering." And because the Church
followed in the footsteps of the Pharisees, and itself threw away the
Key of Knowledge under
Roman rule, these same words apply to modern
Christians as much as the Jews who Jesus
rejected and condemned.
 Throughout man's
history the counterfeit religious leaders who
acted in collusion with secular authorities
perpetually hunted down the adherents of
Spiritual Religion -- declaring them to be
heretics. In the Middle Ages they held
Inquisitions where the faith and belief of the
people were tested -- and those who failed the
test, were tortured and put to death. One such
example is the case of Giordano Bruno who openly
taught the reincarnation of the soul --
(quoting)
"The soul is not the
body and it may be in one body or in another,
and pass from body to body"
(see
30 Quotes On Reincarnation). And
his position on the soul is further presented in
the words:
"The
divine perfection of the individual soul is the
aim of all progression"
(Giordano Bruno quoted in Reincarnation: The
Phoenix Fire Mystery; Cranston/Head, editors).
Thus, on the higher reality of the soul Bruno
wrote:
"Within every man there
is a soul-flame, kindled at the sun of thought,
which lends us wings whereby we may approach the
sun of knowledge."
Further stating that:
"This principle in man
moves and governs the body, is superior to the
body, and cannot be constrained by it."
It is Spirit, the Real Self,
"in
which, from which and through which are formed
the different bodies, which have to pass through
different kinds of existences, names and
destinies."
Giordano Bruno taught that the Law of
Reincarnation is indissolubly connected with its
twin doctrine of Karma, or
"High Justice" --
stating that
"Every
act performed brings its appropriate reward or
punishment in another life. In proportion as the
soul has conducted itself in a body, it
determines for itself its transition into
another body." In
his Spaccio de la Bestia Trionfante,
which was published in 1584, Bruno described the
condition of a soul who had misused its
opportunities on earth, saying that such a soul
would be
"relegated back to
another body, and should not expect to be
entrusted with the government and
administration of a better dwelling if it had
conducted itself badly in the conduct of a
previous one."
Thus explaining that there are certain
individuals whose
"soul-flame"
has burned more brightly with each succeeding
incarnation, leading them by gradual stages to
perfection.
"These speak and act
not as mere instruments of the divine, but
rather as self-creative artists and heroes. The
former have the divine spirit; the latter are
divine spirits."
With respect to the existence and reality of the
Inner Teacher that exists within the self of
every person, Bruno wrote that:
"The Divine Light is
always in man, presenting itself to the senses
and to the comprehension, but man rejects it"
(quoted in Life and Teachings of Giordano Bruno
: Philosopher, Martyr, Mystic 1548 - 1600 (1913)
by Coulson Turnbull).
Perhaps more
importantly is the fact that Giordano Bruno
can be
used as a demonstration of those Christians who
did not subscribe to the dogma of Pagan Rome
(see
Giordano Bruno). Quoting the article to
present the concepts of cosmology which was
foundational to Bruno's positions:
"Bruno believed (and praised Copernicus for
establishing a scientific explanation for the
fact) that the Earth revolves around the sun,
and that the apparent diurnal rotation of the
heavens is an illusion caused by the rotation of
the Earth around its axis. Bruno also held
(following Nicholas of Cusa) that because God is
infinite the universe would reflect this fact in
boundless immensity. Bruno also asserted that
the stars in the sky were really other suns like
our own, around which orbited other planets. He
indicated that support for such beliefs in no
way contradicted scripture or true religion
...Under this model, the Sun was simply one more
star, and the stars all suns, each with its own
planets. Bruno saw a solar system of a sun/star
with planets as the fundamental unit of the
universe. According to Bruno, infinite God
necessarily created an infinite universe, formed
of an infinite number of solar systems,
separated by vast regions full of Aether,
because empty space could not exist. (Bruno did
not arrive at the concept of a galaxy.) Comets
were part of a synodus ex mundis of stars, and
not—as other authors maintained at the
time—ephemeral creations, divine instruments, or
heavenly messengers. Each comet was a world, a
permanent celestial body, formed of the four
elements. Bruno's cosmology is marked by
infinitude, homogeneity, and isotropy, with
planetary systems distributed evenly throughout.
Matter follows an active animistic principle: it
is intelligent and discontinuous in structure,
made up of discrete atoms. This animism (and a
corresponding disdain for mathematics as a means
to understanding) is the most dramatic respect
in which Bruno's cosmology differs from what
today passes for a common-sense picture of the
universe. During the later 16th century, and
throughout the 17th century, Bruno's ideas were
held up for ridicule, debate, or inspiration.
Margaret Cavendish, for example, wrote an entire
series of poems against "atoms" and "infinite
worlds" in Poems and Fancies in 1664. Bruno's
true, if partial, rehabilitation would have to
wait for the implications of Newtonian
cosmology."
In the presentation
of the esoteric knowledge that was revealed to
the inner core of Jesus' disciples, I greatly
expand upon the reality of matter and cosmology
of mind throughout this present article in order
to present an enlightened picture that must be
considered if the disciple is to begin to seek
and manifest their true spiritual potential.
In the same way that much of the body of this
esoteric Knowledge (Gnosis) was revealed to me
by the
True Prophet/Son of God, the question
becomes: Was Giordano Bruno put to death for
expressing the Knowledge that the Inner Logos/Son of God
revealed to him directly? Which means that
Giordano Bruno -- as was the case of countless
other Spiritual Christians -- was persecuted
because he attempted to present to the people
important esoteric truths that they must have an
understanding of, in order to bring about the
fulfillment of the Gospel Objectives within
themselves.
While Giordano Bruno
was burnt at the stake by the Church of Rome,
the leaders of the Protestant Reformation were
no different in their war on spirituality.
Michael Servetus, a Spanish theologian,
Quoting the
Wikipedia: "In 1553
Servetus published yet another religious work
with further anti-trinitarian views. It was
entitled Christianismi Restitutio, a work that
sharply rejected the idea of predestination and
the idea that God condemned souls to Hell
regardless of worth or merit. God, insisted
Servetus, condemns no one who does not condemn
himself through thought, word or deed. ...At
his trial, Servetus was condemned on two counts,
for spreading and preaching Nontrinitarianism
and anti-paedobaptism (anti-infant baptism). Of
paedobaptism Servetus had said, 'It is an
invention of the devil, an infernal falsity for
the destruction of all Christianity.' ...In
his first two books( De trinitatis erroribus,
and Dialogues on the Trinity plus the
supplementary De Iustitia Regni Christi)
Servetus rejected the classical conception of
the Trinity, stating that it was not based on
the Bible. He argued that it arose from
teachings of (Greek) philosophers, and he
advocated a return to the simplicity of the
Gospels and the teachings of the early Church
Fathers that he believed pre-dated the
development of Nicene trinitarianism. Servetus
hoped that the dismissal of the trinitarian
dogma would make Christianity more appealing to
believers in Judaism and Islam, which had
preserved the unity of God in their teachings.
According to Servetus, trinitarians had turned
Christianity into a form of "tritheism", or
belief in three gods."
While Michael
Servetus did not possess the factual evidence in
the form of copies of the pre-Nicene biblical texts and
writings of the earliest of Church Fathers which
proved that, from an original Gospel
perspective, Jesus became the Messiah/Christ at
his baptism in the Jordan (see
TheTenWords.com ), the fact is that he was
correct. And his opposition to
Church dogma was Spiritual Truth vs manmade
dogmatic error that inflicted grave harm upon
the body of faith-based believing Christians. Opposed by both John Calvin and
Martin Luther, Michael Servetus was sentenced to burning a
slow death for his alleged anti-Trinitarian
heresy -- which is easily demonstrated to be
false (see
The Insertion Of The Doctrine Of The Trinity).
But of equal importance was the validity of the
positions which he embraced in opposition to the
dogma of Calvin and Luther with respect to
predestination. In the declaration of the
Roman Emperor Constantine that Jesus was God --
which dogmatic position is in direct opposition to the original
unedited Gospel
accounts (see
TheTenWords.com ) -- and the later decree on
the part of the Roman Emperor Justinian
anathematizing the teachings of the pre-existent
soul (see
The Journey Of The Pre-Existent Soul) -- it
has become impossible for the Christian world to
understand the biblical doctrine of
predestination (see
The Laws That Perfect Mankind). And by
virtue of this removal of perhaps the most
predominant and important teaching is the
scriptures, it is impossible for the Christian
world to understand
How
Jesus Became The Son Of God -- and the path
that each believer and follower of Jesus must
themselves walk in order to bring about the next
stage of birth within themselves, and accomplish
the journey in TheWay. Thus, the reality of
the Church in conflict and opposition to the
original teachings of Jesus and TheWay, is
portrayed in the words:
"These things I have spoken to you, that you
may be kept from stumbling. They will make you
outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is
coming for everyone who kills you to think that
he is offering service to God" (John
16:1-2 NAS). The adherents of Spiritual
Religion are Gnostics, because they utilize the
Key of Knowledge to gain access into the inner
Kingdom, and learn from the One Teacher which
has traditionally been called the Logos/Son of
God (see
Logos). In contradistinction, the
counterfeit religious leaders who have thrown
away the Key of Knowledge, always portray
themselves as Orthodox -- in the manner of
despotic communist regimes which always portray
themselves as The People's Republic of.... At the founding of the
United States, many who walked the more
spiritual path of the Gnostics were known as
Deists -- and some were associated with the
Masons.
The Foundation Of
The Age Of Enlightenment: To understand
what has been called The Age Of Enlightenment,
you must first understand the background and
journey of men such as
Giordano Bruno and his source of knowledge as
presented in the above.
Because few understand man's true source of
knowledge -- or man's ability to tap into a Core
Source of Knowledge that reveals All Truths to
the mind of the seeker -- it is often suggested that Bruno was
speculating with respect to his knowledge of
cosmology and the cosmos. They
attempt to reason that man at that time did not
possess the technology to fully observe the
movement of the heavenly bodies in the universe.
Yet, when rightly understood, nothing could be
further from the truth. Moreover,
the men of Wisdom and Reason who vehemently
opposed the Church, were in fact the true
Christians who opposed the counterfeit Church
which was a secularized institution built upon
the folly of the dogmatic opium of Roman
Emperors (see
The Religion Of Roman Emperors).
That Deists such as Thomas Jefferson understood
this reality, is demonstrated in a letter to
Benjamin Rush where he wrote with respect to his
religion: "To the
corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed;
but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus
himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense he
wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his
doctrines, in preference to all others;
ascribing to himself every human excellence; &
believing he never claimed any other".
When the Roman
Emperor Constantine annexed and took control of
the Christian Church -- dictating acceptable
doctrines of belief, and editing the New
Testament to support the dogma what was forced
upon Christianity -- the true Spiritual
Christians who refused to adhere to the religion
of the emperor were hunted down as heretics --
and their more pure copies of the scriptures
destroyed. While the Ebionite
Nazirenes and many of the groups of Spiritual
Christians came together and hid away seven (7)
libraries of scriptures (see
Pure Scriptures Still Exist), other copies
of scriptures were hidden away from the
secularized Roman Church within each of the
monasteries. In many
instances, the various Inquisitions that took
place was to hunt down and destroy the Spiritual
Christians who kept their base of operations and
community within many of the monasteries.
It remains virtually
impossible to comprehend the source of the
wisdom and knowledge of The Age of the
Enlightenment, without understanding that these
more pure copies of scriptures which were
preserved within each of the monasteries did not
teach the Truth -- but rather, revealed the
means to tap into the Source of Truth within
each person. When men such as
Giordano Bruno made reference to the traditions
of the teachers before him (see
Spiritual Religion), this was an
acknowledgment of the esoteric body of knowledge
that had been preserved in many of the monastic
orders. When Bruno wrote of
the
"Soul-Flame"
that exists within each individual -- stating
that
"The Divine Light is
always in man, presenting itself to the senses
and to the comprehension, but man rejects it"
-- the pure and original Gospel teachings
revealed the means for each person to begin to
tap into this Inner Source Of Divine Light.
And the Wisdom which evolved out of The Age Of
The Enlightenment, was the product of the vision
and knowledge of those who had learned to tap
into this Inner Source of Knowledge -- to
whatever degree each was able to.
Why do some men
possess a greater capacity to Know Higher Truth
than others? This question is also
easily answered in the writings of Giordano
Bruno where he wrote that
"Every act performed brings its appropriate
reward or punishment in another life. In
proportion as the soul has conducted itself in a
body, it determines for itself its transition
into another body."
What this of course means is that each person
reaps the results of the accomplishments of the
previous lifetimes that their soul has lived.
Those who seek Truth, inherit the potential to
acquire a higher level of Truth in the future
lifetimes which their soul lives.
Those who acquiesce and subscribe to the very
limited dogma of man's religious, philosophical
and educational institutions -- failing to seek
the Truth within themselves, while adopting the
speculation of others -- all fail to not only
develop themselves, but also inhibit their
potential to even tap into this Inner Source of
Truth that each man and woman as the divine
offspring of Creator-God has access to as a
birth-right. And thus, in the
words of Bruno:
"These speak and act
not as mere instruments of the divine, but
rather as self-creative artists and heroes. The
former have the divine spirit; the latter are
divine spirits."
The Theist
perspective of God which as been traditionally
promoted by the Church, states that man is
separate from God. Whereas, the
original Gospel teachings portray man as the
prodigal son who has become lost in this world,
and is the divine offspring of Creator-God.
All the ancient men of vision and wisdom were
Deists -- all understood that the soul of man is
a unique expression of Creator-God that is in
the process of evolving
As stated in the encyclopedia article on
Deism: "Deistic
thinking has existed since ancient times"
-- and when rightly understood, Theistic
thinking is based upon an immature perception
and understanding of man's higher soul and
spiritual reality. When the
encyclopedia portrays Deistic thinking as having
existed since ancient times, what they are
making reference to is the teaching that the
Logos or Mind of God, dwells within each
individual person -- and this parallels the
Gospel account of Jesus' command to seek out the
One Teacher (see
The One Teacher/True Prophet).
And thus, when visionaries within the Church
such as Giordano Bruno taught that
"The Divine Light is
always in man, presenting itself to the senses
and to the comprehension, but man rejects it"
he was building this foundation upon the most
Pure of Original Gospel Teachings that were
suppressed by the later Church which promoted
the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors (see
The Religion Of Roman Emperors).
When Thomas Jefferson declared himself a
Christian who rejected the dogmatic opium of
"priestcraft"
and the corruptions of the Roman Emperors --
i.e., "To the
corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed;
but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus
himself..." -- Jefferson
was in fact expressing the obligation of every
True Christian to reject and rid themselves of
the corrupting dogma of men and a return to the
Core Gospel Principles.
One of the primary
factors that Enlightenment is dependent upon, is
the proper foundational mindset that has the
potential to initiate what the first Christians
portrayed as the
Heightening And Expansion Of Mind.
If the foundational framework is not in place,
then no progress can be achieved -- as stated by
Thomas Jefferson:
"Ignorance is
preferable to error, and he is less remote from
the truth who believes nothing than he who
believes what is wrong" (Notes on
Virginia, 1782). And from this
perspective, the Atheist who proclaims that
there is nothing more or beyond what is seen
with one's physical senses -- or only what is
physically seen is real -- is the blind man
"...who believes what
is wrong"
Further, the true Deist who understands the Laws
of Nature and the Higher Reality of Nature's
God, understands that he must use what is seen
as a catalyst to perceive and comprehend the
larger picture that the Atheist and spiritually
immature Theist is blind to.
Moreover, the path of Enlightenment is manifest
in opening up the mind and senses to this
greater picture that the Atheist and spiritually
immature Theist are incapable of perceiving or
even grasping the reality of. And in
this respect, the Age Of Enlightenment that gave
birth to both the Deist and the Constitution of
the United States, was the fruit of developing
this greater insight through the expansion and
evolution of the centers of mind that enabled
the Enlightened Spiritual Visionary to see
beyond the limited images danced upon the stage
of life.
In the previous
chapters on The Law Of
Octaves and
The
Organic Limits Of Linear Thought, I
demonstrate that modern physics has not only
proven the Atheist to be in grave error with
respect to their position that there is nothing
beyond what is seen with one's physical senses,
but have also proven the Mystic and Enlightened
Visionary correct where they state that
"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). Which is exactly what
visionaries such as Giordano Bruno witnesses to
be the Source of his knowledge.
Thus, at the foregoing subheading the modern
physicist is quoted as stating:
Einstein (see
Science Proves Religion) expressed shock
when he stated: “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.”
Which confirms what Einstein wrote in analysis
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”
(quoted in M. Capek,
The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary
Physics) -- and the words of physicist
Walter Thirring who wrote 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”
(Urbausteine der Materie).
Why is this
important? Because everything that
we observe with our physical senses --
everything that we experience -- has its
beginning and cause in what the scientist now
understands to be the (Etheric) Field -- which
is a reality that the linear senses of man is
blind to, but can be perceived and understood
only as organic man begins to develop his latent
Intuitive areas of mind that in most of mankind
has remained atrophied and undeveloped.
What this means is that
the Age Of Enlightenment grew out of the
extended vision of Mystics such as Giordano
Bruno and others who were able to tap into the
Source, and perceive that not only was the
Church the product of a bogus fraud that was
being perpetrated upon the people -- but because
they had thrown away what the Gospels portrayed
as the
Key Of Knowledge, the counterfeit shepherds
("priestcraft") within the leadership of the
Church were both blind to the true meaning of
the scriptures, but also all of life itself.
Hidden and preserved within the monasteries was
copies of more pure scriptures that not only
revealed the more important spiritual truths
that were edited out of the Bible by the minions
of the Roman Emperors who ruled the Church --
but when the
Key Of Knowledge was properly applied,
instructed the reader on the Natural Laws that
had to be overcome in order to prevail over the
organic limitations of the physical mind which
blinded the seeker to the reality of the (Etheric)
Field that modern physicists have proven exists
as the Source of all events and realities of
this world.
Of course
visionaries such as Giordano Bruno and
the core men and women of
the Age of Enlightenment believed in
reincarnation -- because in their development of
these latent attributes of mind, they were able
to observe the source of events in their present
lives as being initiated in previous lifetimes
their soul had lived. Both Thomas
Paine and Thomas Jefferson knew that the Church
which they opposed was a fraud, because they had
themselves lived as disciples and followers of
the historical man Jesus. And when
Thomas Jefferson said of the man Jesus that he
"...ascribing to
himself every human excellence; & believing he
never claimed any other".
-- Jefferson knew for sure
that in accord with the original teachings that
had been corrupted and suppressed by the Church,
the historical man Jesus was not the third part
of the Trinitarian God -- but rather, a man who
prevailed over the Laws, and achieved Oneness
with the Divine Mind which is called the
Logos/Son of God (see
TheTenWords.com). Thus,
the core visionaries who formed the bedrock of
the Age Of Enlightenment which opposed the fraud
of the Church, were able themselves to develop
the necessary Intuitive spheres of mind that
enabled them to perceive a higher vision of
reality which the leaders of the Church were all
blind to. Why? In
the same way that the Atheist is incapable of
seeing the Source of the things seen outwardly
because they have blinded themselves by virtue
of their lack of development of the Intuitive
spheres of mind, so too has the blind
faith-based believers who embrace the great
error of the dogma of Roman Emperors of the
Church. If the original Gospels were
true, and the historical man Jesus was not God
incarnate -- but rather, a man who prevailed
over the Laws of Nature and Creation to achieve
Oneness with God -- which is the Ultimate
Destiny of all of mankind -- then the dogmatic
opium of the Church was the very cause of
Christian blindness which the core visionaries
in the Age of Enlightenment vehemently opposed
as the embodiment of evil that shackled mankind
to a Spiritual Diaspora of profound ignorance
and abject suffering.
If it is true -- as
the modern physicist affirms -- that everything
in this life that we see with our physical eyes,
and experience has a preexisting cause in the (Etheric)
Field -- and what we observe in the Field I have
portrayed as the Source of what we see -- then
what we have is conformation of what
physicist Walter Thirring
stated 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 which
intersect in the Etheric Field coming together,
causing what Walter Thirring above describes as
a "blemish"
that we observe with our organic physical
senses. And the folly of carnal man
is his assertion that what he sees is all there
is -- when in fact without the conscious
development of the latent Intuitive spheres of
mind, man in his organic "natural" condition is
virtually blind to the whole picture that Nature
presents to him.
The enigma of the limits
of man's physical senses was noted by Albert
Einstein who concluded with respect to man's
dilemma when he 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."
And what the Enlightened Visionary has warned is
that because man's religious, philosophical,
cultural and educational institutions
"...have created a
society that honors the [rational] servant and
has forgotten [and suppressed the development
of] the [intuitive] gift" -- thus,
blinding mankind to the underlying cause of all
that man sees and experiences in this world, man
remains perpetually lost and blind in what Jesus
portrayed as the "outer
darkness" of mind and being (see
Outer Darkness) -- or what the philosopher
portrayed in the analogy of the illusions of
Plato's Cave (see
Cave) -- is the inherent blindness of the
undeveloped organic mind of man in his natural
condition.
If the physicist is
correct, and everything that we observe in this
physical world is the downstream effect of the
forces that first manifest in the (Etheric)
Field -- then what we are observing is varying
frequencies of thought that allegorically appear
different to us. Quoting from 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.”
Which is why the Gospel of Thomas declares:
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."
The illusions of
Plato's Cave -- or the blindness of what the
Gospel portrays as the
"outer darkness" of Mind and Being
(see
Outer Darkness) -- is all the effect of
. "...The brain [being]
a hologram, interpreting a holographic universe”
-- and only perceiving that spectrum of Thought
which appears to be physically manifest in the
objects we observe with our bodily senses --
which provides us a very fragmented and partial
perception of the Whole. Which means
that the scriptures -- and especially those
copies that were hidden away form the political
leadership of the Church and kept safeguarded in
many of the monasteries -- when
the
Key Of Knowledge was properly applied, were
in fact text-books which presented the Laws and
Forces of the Cosmology of the seeker/disciples
one Mind, which had to be developed in order to
overcome man's natural organic limitations.
And only in coming to fulfill the adage to Know
Thyself, could the seeker then apply the same
the
Key Of Knowledge to the Laws and Forces of
Nature and the Natural World, and connect
directly with what Giordano Bruno portrays as
the Light of the Soul within man himself.
If we pose the
question: What esoteric base of knowledge could
possibly be concealed within the written text of
the allegorical scriptures which the linear mind
of man remains a virtual stranger to?
Let me quote from an article written by Dr.
Stanislav Grof entitled
Lessons from Modern Consciousness Research,
wherein the Dr. writes:
"It is hard to imagine that Western academic
circles will continue indefinitely ignoring,
censoring, and misinterpreting all the
extraordinary evidence that has in the past been
amassed in the study of various forms of
holotropic states of consciousness. Sooner or
later, they will have to face the challenge of
the new data and accept their far-reaching
theoretical and practical implications. I firmly
believe that in not too distant future the old
materialistic world view will be replaced by a
new comprehensive vision of reality, which will
integrate modern science with spirituality and
Western
pragmatism with ancient wisdom. I have no doubt
that it will include as an important element the
new revolutionary understanding of
consciousness, human nature, and the nature of
reality that has emerged from the study of
holotropic state"
That the traditional linear-perception of
Creation which is based on Darwinism has long
been proven to be a grave error and
intellectual void has caused man's philosophers
and traditional scientists to cling to what can
only be portrayed as flat-earth fossilized
conclusions as presented in the words:
“The present
scientific establishment has grown somewhat
fossilized by its current world picture and is
locked into a view of reality that has outlived
its usefulness.
It has begun to limit mankind’s growth and has
so increased its sense of specialization,
separateness, materiality, and mechanical
computer-like functioning that
it is in
real danger of self-extermination”
(William A. Tiller, Materials Sciences
Department, Stanford University).
What is a holotropic
state? As defined in the
Wikipedia: "Holotropic
Breathwork is a practice that uses breathing and
other elements to allow access to non-ordinary
states for the purpose of self-exploration. It
was developed by Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D. and
Christina Grof, Ph.D. Holotropic breathing has
some similarities to rebirthing-breathwork, but
was developed independently".
What it is, is the traditional rhythmic
breath-work used by Mystics since the very dawn
of time itself. But interestingly
enough, Dr. Grof futher explains:
"The content of
holotropic states is often spiritual or
mystical. We can experience sequences of
psychological death and rebirth and a broad
spectrum of transpersonal phenomena, such as
feelings of oneness with other people, nature,
the universe, and God. We might uncover what
seem to be memories from other incarnations,
encounter powerful archetypal beings,
communicate with discarnate entities, and visit
numerous mythological landscapes. Holotropic
experiences of this kind are the main source of
cosmologies, mythologies, philosophies, and
religious systems describing the spiritual
nature of the cosmos and of existence. They are
the key for understanding the ritual and
spiritual life of humanity from shamanism and
sacred ceremonies of aboriginal tribes to the
great religions of the world."
Which confirms not only the account of Giordano
Bruno that
"The Divine Light is
always in man, presenting itself to the senses
and to the comprehension, but man rejects it"
-- but also the assertion of the Gospel as
presented in the article on the
Key Of Knowledge where it
states:
While
the Christians, like the Jews before them who
threw away the Key of Knowledge, look for the
Kingdom to come outwardly upon the earth, the
Gospel itself states that the Kingdom will never
come upon the earth, because it is within you --
and it is therein that you must seek it:
"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.
Giordano Bruno was
the product of the original Gospel teachings
that the Church of Rome has suppressed since the
fourth century -- and he was an example of the
core visionaries of the Age of Enlightenment who
opposed counterfeit corrupted Christianity that
was the dogmatic opium of
The Religion Of Roman Emperors which had
been forcefully imposed upon the people by the
power of the sword. When the
Enlightened Deists portrayed the written text of
the scriptures as
"letter that killeth
[and] Jewish folktales" (see 2 Cor
3:6; Titus 1:14) -- this wasn't their opinion.
Why? Because the core visionaries
had access to the Source that Bruno wrote about
-- which was the same Source that the historical
man Jesus said to seek out as your ONLY teacher
(see
The True Prophet). When they
portrayed what has come to be known as the
Clockwork Universe (see
Theist/Deist
Perception Of Creation), this wasn't based
upon their opinion. Why? The reality
of the Laws of Nature and Nature's God had been
revealed to them directly from the Source of all
Truth. When Giordano Bruno made
reference to cosmic realities of the universe
that some have reasoned must have been
speculation -- because the technology did not
exist in that time-frame to observe the heavenly
bodies in the manner that we can at present.
Bruno's critics were of course wrong, because
man has the potential to access all knowledge
first hand by opening the inner
"narrow strait gate"
to his soul and the Inner Kingdom.
When Benjamin Franklin and other Deists made
reference to a life beyond this physical
existence and even the cycles of life which is
commonly called reincarnation (see
ChristianReincarnation.org), this assertion
wasn't based upon blind belief or idle
speculation -- because as a seeker draws nearer
to their unmanifest soul (see
SoulSelf.org), the ability to access the
previous lives which their soul has lived
becomes as fruit that is the natural condition
of a healthy tree. And
this is why visionaries such as Giordano Bruno
maintained that
"The soul is not the
body and it may be in one body or in another,
and pass from body to body"
(see
30 Quotes On Reincarnation).
Traditionally, even
in the pre-Nicene Church the teachings on the
pre-existent soul was not openly taught to the
immature believers of the simple-faith (see
The Christian Secret Doctrine).
In the words of St. Jerome (340-420):
“The doctrine of
transmigration (reincarnation) has been secretly
taught from ancient times to small numbers of
people, as a traditional truth which was not to
be divulged”
Turning to the historian, this ultra important
element to the equation of life that was
rejected and suppressed by
The Religion Of Roman Emperors,
is
made reference to by Edward Gibbon in the
footnote regarding the question of the disciples
at John 9:2:
"The
disciples of Jesus were persuaded that a man
might have sinned before he was born, (John, ix.
2,) and the Pharisees held the transmigration
[reincarnation] of virtuous souls, (Joseph. de
Bell. Judaico, l. ii. c. 7;) and a modern Rabbi
is modestly assured, that Hermes, Pythagoras,
Plato, etc., derived their metaphysics from his
illustrious countrymen"
(Gibbon; Decline & Fall)
-- metaphysics that embraced the concept of the
pre-existence and transmigration of the soul
(see
The Journey Of The Pre-Existent Soul).
In the approximate year of 178 of our Common
Era, Celsus, the Epicurean Philosopher and
opponent of Christianity, published a rather
embarrassing work in opposition to Christianity
known as The True Word or Discourse,
which portrayed the Church as a
"secret
system"
which taught the elect the doctrine of the soul
that evolves to perfection over the course of
many lifetimes, while teaching the unenlightened
entry-level Christians the doctrine of Heaven
and Hell. It is said that this work was
widely published and used by the Pagan world as
an attack on the Church. Seventy years after
its publication The True Word was still
so widely circulated, that the Church Father
Origen was commissioned by St. Ambrosius to
refute this attack by Celsus. Among the
official reply to Celsus by the Church is this
teaching: "Is it not
rational that souls should be introduced into
bodies, in accordance with their merits and
previous deeds, and that those who have used
their bodies in doing the utmost possible good
should have the right to bodies endowed with
qualities superior to the bodies of others?...
The soul, which is immaterial and invisible in
its nature, exists in no material place without
having a body suited to the nature of that
place; accordingly, it at one time puts off one
body, which was necessary before, but which is
no longer adequate in its changed state, and it
exchanges it for a second". And in
his famed work De Principiis the Church Father
Origen explains: "The
soul has neither beginning nor end... Every
soul... comes into this world strengthened by
the victories or weakened by the defeats of its
previous life. Its place in this world as a
vessel appointed to honor or dishonor is
determined by its previous merits or demerits.
Its work in this world determines its place in
the world which is to follow this..."
This was the official position and
doctrine of the Christianity prior to the
take-over of the Church by the Emperor
Constantine in the year 325AD. And the
teachings of Origen and the Church Fathers on
the pre-existent soul were embraced until being
condemned by the Emperor Justinian in the year
553. Because the Church since the Roman
take-over has embraced the manmade doctrines of
the Emperors who ruled over the Church and its
accepted doctrines of belief, the faithful flock
has remained entry-level and spiritually
disenfranchised throughout the intervening
centuries. But this was not the
case of the True Spiritual Christians who had
access to more pure copies of scriptures, and
hid from the Church authorities in monasteries
where they were able to develop the Intuitive
spheres of mind that provided them access to the
Inner Source of Truth that the original Gospel
taught to seek out. And thus, it was
this body of Spiritual Christians who the Church
continually hunted down as heretics such as
Giordano Bruno, that served as the spiritual
bed-rock to the Age of Enlightenment, as well as
the body of Deists who formed the foundational
framework of the U.S. Constitution.
From a purely
scientific perspective, based upon the finding
of the physicists quoted above -- and especially
that of
Walter Thirring
who wrote about the nature of matter from the
perspective of the findings of modern physics
that
“...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.”
From this perspective, it would be impossible
for life to begin in the
"...disturbance of the
perfect state of the field" that
the physicist now perceives as a
"blemish" in
the intersecting forces of the Field -- because
the source of what we observe with our physical
senses is in the Field -- i.e.,
"...Order and symmetry must be sought in the
underlying field.”
And those Enlightened Visionaries who embraced
the original Gospel teaching that were
suppressed by the Church of Rome -- and
developed the Intuitive spheres of mind in the
manner of Giordano Bruno and all the mystic
visionaries -- were able to access the knowledge
of how the pre-existent soul impresses an
embryonic image into the body at conception (see
Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image) -- thereby
proving the modern physicist correct in his
assertion that the Field is the Source of what
we observe through the limited vision and
perception of our physical senses of the
body-vessel.

It is import to
understand that the guarantees of First
Amendment God-Given Rights that is the
cornerstone foundation of the Constitution of
the United States, is from the side of the
Deists and Masons -- and one of its primary
objectives was to insure freedom of thought from
mainstream faith-based religions -- i.e.,
Fundamentalist Christianity. Among the
U.S. founding fathers, John Adams, John Quincy
Adams, Ethan Allen, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, Thomas Paine, and
George Washington were all Deists.
While the Masons
were an esoteric order that had members in all
religions and governments, the Deists were those
who stated that God is the most Rational Force
in Creation -- and God can only be found with
the expansion and development of the Rational
Mind. In contradistinction, traditional
faith-based religion is one of blind and
unquestioning belief in the dogma of the Church
-- as portrayed in the words of Martin Luther:
“Reason,
is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never
comes to the aid of spiritual things, but - more
frequently than not - struggles against the
divine Word, treating with contempt all that
emanates from God” (Quoted in: The
Great Thoughts; compiled by George Seldes).
Why did Luther condemn the rational powers of
perception and interpretation of the mind of
man? Luther embraced many of the same tenets
and grave misunderstandings of the biblical
doctrine of predestination as did Calvin -- and
Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying of
Calvinism:
"His [Calvin's] religion
was demonism. If ever man worshiped a false God,
he did. The being described in his five points
is ... a demon of malignant spirit. It would be
more pardonable to believe in no God at all,
than to blaspheme him by the atrocious
attributes of Calvin" (Works, Vol. iv.,
p. 363). In the foregoing
chapter/subheading entitled,
The Books With The Power To Deceive, I
demonstrate that the Apostle Peter basically
stated the same position that Jefferson did.
Faith-based
religion rejects the God-Given Gift of Reason,
because their own ignorance pertaining to the
true nature and objectives of both the
scriptures and God, which causes them to embrace
what Peter portrays as
"unworthy beliefs about God" --
causing them to believe grave error -- or, in
the words of Jesus directed at those who have
thrown away the Key of Knowledge:
"You are mistaken, not
knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God"
(Matt 22:29 NKJ). In a Spiritual Religion, God
is understood to be the most Rational Force in
Creation -- and it is the purpose of religion to
bring about the necessary
"...heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness”
that enables man to
enter the Presence of what Jesus portrayed as
the One Teacher (see
True Prophet), and learn directly from God
(see below). It was impossible for Luther and
Calvin to understand the biblical doctrine of
predestination, because a Roman Emperor has
forbid and condemned the teaching of Jesus on
the journey of the soul (see
The Pre-Existent Soul). And herein
lies an even greater problem from a modern
perspective which is seen in the fact that the
people who presently portray themselves as
Deists, fail to understand the very spiritual
core of Deism -- and thus, the essence of Reason
itself. The modern Atheists perceive
themselves to be totally led by reason and
intellect -- and yet, their understanding of
God, religion and the world is so radically
different from that of the historical Deists who
founded our Nation, that it can easily be
demonstrated that reason alone is a spiritually
bankrupt path. Thus, reason without the
necessary
"...heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness”, is in and of
itself a dead-ended path.
It is important
to understand Deism because of its rejection of
the European ideas of church and state -- and in
total opposition, it's proclamation that man is
imbued with God-Given UnAlienable Rights that
are beyond the reach of government to in any
manner suppress or inhibit. It is easily
demonstrated that the Epistles in the New
Testament were corrupted with interpolations in
order to make Christians in subjection to Rome
(see
Interpolations) -- and these same
interpolations were later used by the
governments of Europe to promote political
rulership of the Church. The king of England
was declared the vicar of God -- and deemed
infallible -- even before this doctrine of
infallibility was bestowed upon the pope. And
when properly understood, it is this
relationship between church and state which
caused the Christian world to be reduced to a
condition of spiritual complacency. Deism, on
the other hand, not only rejects the whole
concept of government ordained religion --
promoting the separation of church and state --
but lays the foundation for the concept that the
highest obligation of government is to protect
the God-Given Rights of the individual.
Deism is defined
as "...a religious and
philosophical belief that a supreme god created
the universe, and that this and other religious
truth can be determined using reason and
observation of the natural world alone"
(see
Deism) -- and this revelation through the
use of reason and observation was based upon the
original objective of the teachings of Jesus as
portrayed in the quotation from the
Encyclopedia Britannica under the heading,
The History of Christian Mysticism, where it
reads: “Although the
essence of mysticism is the sense of contact
with the transcendent, mysticism in the history
of Christianity should not be understood merely
in terms of special ecstatic experiences but as
part of a religious process lived out within the
context of the Christian community. From this
perspective mysticism played a vital part in the
early church. Early Christianity was a religion
of the spirit that expressed itself in the
heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness” -- i.e., the
focused objective is presented in the words
"...the heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness”.
If all that was
necessary was the use of human reasoning to
understand what the Deist's stated was the work
of Creator-God in the forming of the universe,
then there would be no such thing as Atheists
who reject the whole concept of a Creator. And
if we inquire as to what made the reasoning of a
Deist who embraced a Creator-God, very different
than the reasoning of an Atheist who totally
rejects the whole concept of a Deity, the answer
is found in the elevated and matured reasoning
of the Deist who understood the Laws of
Creation, in contradistinction to the Atheist
whose powers of reasoning and intellect has been
flat-lined by their blind ideology. So the
question then becomes: Did the Deists who framed
our Constitutional form of government,
understand a higher reality of the Laws that is
not at all understood by those who claim to be
affiliated with Deism today?
With respect to
the Deist assertion that truth can be found
"...using reason and
observation of the natural world",
this is merely conformation of the words of Paul
explored in the above when he stated that the
Truth of God can be discerned by observing the
natural world -- i.e.,
"...For since the creation
of the world His invisible attributes, His
eternal power and divine nature, have been
clearly seen,
being
understood through what has been made,
so that they are
without excuse"
(Rom 1:19-20 NAS). That the critics
of the Deists fail to understand that they
merely confirmed what Paul stated, is
conformation of the blindness on the part of the
critics. Modern quantum physics has begun to
verify the position of the Mystic that not only
is all of Creation imbued with the Divine
Pattern -- but that the Divine Pattern is
holographically replicated into each of it
parts. And, as I will present at numerous
points in this article, the physical is in fact
the pattern for the Whole. And what both Paul
and the Deists are expressing, is the fact that
if you apply the aspects of the pattern into
each successive level of both Creation, and your
own mind, soul and spirit, that you will begin
to understand the Laws and the Forces at work --
enabling you to not only conquer your own
divided nature, but also prevail over these
Forces and Laws. Thus, fulfilling the
requirement set forth in the second saying of
the
Gospel of Thomas:
Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking
until he finds. When he finds, he will become
troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be
astonished, and he will rule over the All."
Of primary
importance is the observation of the Laws that
control all aspects of the outer world, because
it is these same Laws that holographically exist
within the body and mind of each individual
person. Therefore, to begin to understand the
forces and Laws that are working in the outer
world, it is essential to embark upon the
journey of self-discovery through the knowledge
of understanding the very forces and Laws of the
mind and consciousness of mankind -- i.e.,
within one's own mind and being. And thus,
the great truth that seems to have escaped the
understanding and reasoning of the modern Deist
is revealed in the book entitled Fragments of
a Faith Forgotten, by G.R.S. Mead, where he
explains that what the authors of the scriptures
truly “…projected onto
the screen… [in the form of a ] picture of the
universe was in reality a picture of their own
minds." He then writes of the
scriptures: "Its
mythology is a symbolic portrayal, almost a
deliberate one, of the forces which operate in
the structuring and evolution of the human
personality”. It was for this reason
that Carl Jung called the Gnostic Christians the
worlds first and foremost psychologists who
understood the very fabric of human
consciousness. And, when rightly understood
with what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge
properly applied, the scriptures are about you
-- i.e. the Laws and Forces working in your own
mind and body -- and they are timeless and
relevant to every period in human history. And
it is this higher enlightened understanding of
the scriptures and the proper application of the
Key of Knowledge that initiated and brought
about the personal
"revealed revelation" that provided
the Deist the necessary supreme reasoning powers
that enabled him to understand what Atheists and
faith-believers were blind to.
Is Judaism,
Christianity And Islam Revealed Religions?
Deism portrays Judaism, Christianity and Islam
as "revealed religions"
-- which are defined as
1 : to make known through divine inspiration;
2 : to make (something secret or hidden)
publicly or generally known 'reveal a secret'.
Which, from the Deist perspective, is rejected by
virtue of the position that this
"...secret or hidden
[revelation or knowledge]" is
only revealed to certain chosen individuals --
i.e., Moses, Jesus, Mohammed -- while the Deist
maintains that the reality of God can be
revealed through the use of Reason in
observation of the outer world. And
while this is true, there is an important
element to the equation that is totally lacking
in this statement. And this
ultra-important element is presented to us in
the statement of Thomas Paine in the Age Of
Reason: "It is a
contradiction in terms and ideas, to call
anything a revelation that comes to us at
second-hand, either verbally or in writing.
Revelation is necessarily limited to the first
communication -- after this, it is only an
account of something which that person says was
a revelation made to him; and though he may find
himself obliged to believe it, it cannot be
incumbent on me to believe it in the same
manner; for it was not a revelation made to me,
and I have only his word for it that it was made
to him."
It is not enough to
see the Hand of Creator-God in the divine canvas
upon which this world and the universe has been
painted. And neither is it a genuine
"...revelation that
comes to us at second-hand, either verbally or
in writing." As creatures
of Reason and Intellect, it is necessary to Know
God not through second hand accounts, but
through First Hand Experiential Knowledge.
And it is the position of the True Deist that
the vast majority of mankind are inhibited from
Knowing God through the Intimate Knowledge of
Oneness, by virtue of the dogmatic opium of
organized religion and the work of what Paine
portrayed as "priestcraft".
For the most part
the vast majority of Deists have themselves been
seduced by the dogma of organized religion which
they have rightfully rejected -- while
condemning and rejecting the efforts of fellow
Deists whose works were corrupted and then used
to promote "priestcraft".
The Great Reality which the vast majority of
Deists have remained ignorant of, is the fact
that the very scriptures they condemn are the
works of Deists who are representative of
mankind's Greatest Minds of Reason, Intellect
and Spirituality -- and in each instance, the
important works of these Enlightened Deists who
themselves evolved their minds to achieve
Knowledge of God through Direct Experience and
Oneness, were corrupted by carnal man who Jesus
portrayed as "wolves in
sheep's attire", in order to seduce
and control the masses through their dogmatic
opium that maintained them in a position of
political and theocratic authority over the
people who they controlled often out of fear --
fear not only of their own violence inflicted
upon innocent people by various combinations of
church and state, but also the fear of a
despotic god who tortured people eternally in
hell.
Unlike the
traditional religious institutions of man which
were dogmatically controlled by counterfeit
shepherds, the Enlightened Deists who authored
the scriptures were motivated by a desire to
Know God through Intimate Experience and
Oneness. Quoting from
BeingOfLight.com :
When
God, in the words of St. Nazianzen, no longer is
an
“object of wonder”,
but rather an
“object of desire”
-- and we, desiring to be purified from the
defilements of this world, make ourselves fit
vessels for the Lord to indwell, the Spirit,
according to St. Nazianzen, reveals to us our
true nature, and the revelation of this manifest
Sacred Knowledge makes
“us
like God; so that when we have thus become like
Himself, God may, to use a bold expression, hold
converse with us as Gods, being united to us,
and that perhaps to the same extent as He
already knows those who are known to Him”.
St. Nazianzen then writes that
“the
Divine Nature then is boundless and hard to
understand”
by those who are yet carnal and think as natural
beings of this world.
The
problem is that the position held by many of
the modern Deists that they can perceive the
Works of God through Reason and an Observation
of the world goes to the very heart of the
human quagmire -- i.e., that while the assertion
of the Deists is true, it is lacking important
insights with respect to the larger picture of
the human condition. Reason and
Observation of the Natural Laws and the images
of this world is just nothing more than
God-Admiration -- which can be portrayed as
faith-based Deism. And while this
assertion is true, it can
be said that the truth promoted by the
modern Deist is so shortsighted, that it can be
terribly misleading. Further, quoting
The Limitations Of
Entry-Level Deism (below): While the
modern Deist makes claim to a superior
understanding based upon Reason and their
rejection of the god promoted by
"priestcraft", their claim
immediately provokes a number of flaws in their
assertion that a person of Reason would ask?
Anyone even vaguely familiar with history knows
that man's reason is the basis for every variety
of insanity and ignorance that has immersed
mankind in lives of ignorance and superstition
since he first attempted to understand the world
and his place in it. Every despot throughout
history has been able to make the case using his
reason and intellect to define and demonstrate
the superiority of his position -- even when
their positions brought great suffering,
hardship and even death upon others.
The problem
confronting the position of the modern Deists is
that it is applicable only to the most
elementary perception and understanding of God
that man can hold. From my own
personal perspective: While in this present life I was raised a
Christian, I eventually became an Atheist by
virtue of my use of reason that caused me to
reject the god of the Church. While
I had not at that time in my life even heard of
a group of people who portrayed themselves as
Deists, the god promoted by the Church was so
utterly unreasonable and despotic, that I simply
rejected everything that I had been taught in
Church. Yet, I had to come to terms
with the fact that it wasn't until I became an
Atheist and rejected the manmade god of the
Church, that I could even begin the journey of a
true seeker. Which means that I
first had to reject the manmade god of the
Church, before I could even begin the process of
becoming a seeker. And herein lies
the problem in a nutshell -- i.e., the authors
of the scriptures who were themselves Deists,
desired to Know God -- and to Know God, requires
a greater amount of effort and dedication than
to merely observe the Expression of Creator-God
as manifest in the images of nature that is
observed in this world. And while
the core Deists who emerged out of the Age of
Enlightenment possessed an intimate knowledge of
God, the majority of adherents of modern Deism
are typical of all faith-based believers who
merely repeated rhetoric which they did not
fully understand. So, while
the modern Deists are not wrong in their
assessment of traditional Churchanity which has
been formed and molded by
"priestcraft" and secular rulers
who used the power of the sword to enforce their
dogma upon the people, the shortsightedness of
the modern Deist has so limited their
understanding and perception of the larger
picture, that they have permitted themselves to
become spiritually flat-lined -- i.e., no
possibility of movement beyond the obstacle they
have erected in their path.
Which raises the question as to whether the
Deists can have it both ways -- i.e., while it
is claimed that Plato was a Deist (see
Famous Deists), in his
analogy of
Plato's Cave only those who escaped the
illusions of the Cave possessed the knowledge of
man's true reality. If, therefore, it
can be demonstrated that certain knowledge of
the Laws and Forces of Nature is required to
escape what Plato portrays as the Cave of
Illusions , then the reasoning of those who have
prevailed over the Natural Laws must be seen as
a Mature and Evolved Reasoning in comparison to
the reasoning ability of those who remain
subject to the cave illusions.
In like manner, while
it is claimed that Pythagoras was a Deist (The
Diegesis (1829) by
Robert Taylor, p. 222), it is
also maintained that only those who lived the
necessary lifestyle and possessed the esoteric
knowledge of the Cosmology of Mind could
understand man's higher soul and spiritual
reality. Which raises the all
important question: Are modern Deists defining
Deism by what must
be portrayed as faith-based Deism?
Or, a Deism that enables the seeker to both learn
the Truth, and attain Unity with God?
With respect to the Deist assertion that
truth can be found
"...using reason and observation of the natural
world", this is merely conformation
of the words of Paul that not only is the
Presence of God observed in the natural world,
but that all of mankind are without excuse --
i.e., "...For since
the creation of the world His invisible
attributes, His eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly seen,
being
understood through what has been made,
so that they are
without excuse"
(Rom 1:19-20 NAS).
It can be said that
the ultimate rejection of the textual body of
the scriptures and the perception of God by use
of Reason comes not from anyone associated with
Deism -- but rather, from the very source of
Judaism and Christianity itself.
Quoting from
http://Ebionite.com : Long before the Da
Vinci Code controversy, biblical scholars such
as
A. Powell Davies warned
the Christian world that discoveries such as the
Dead Sea Scrolls had confirmed what they had
believed all along -- that the Roman Church
created the divinity of Yeshua/Jesus -- i.e.,
“Biblical scholars were
not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea
Scrolls because they had known all along that
the origin of Christianity was not what was
commonly supposed to have been”
(quoted by Millar Burrows in More
Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls). Worse yet,
Edmund
Wilson, an expert who worked on the Dead Sea
Scrolls further raised the question as to what
difference it makes if
“Jesus... had been trained in the discipline and
imbued with the thought of a certain Jewish
sect, and that he had learned from it the role
that he afterwards lived...” (The
Scrolls From The Dead Sea). To the uninformed
and unknowing believer, it made all the
difference in the world! If
Jesus was an Essene who lived a holy and
consecrated life, fulfilling the Law within
himself so completely, that he became One with
the Logos/Son of God at his baptism as stated by
all Church Authorities prior to the fourth
century Nicene Council held by the Roman Emperor
Constantine (see
The Ten Words),
then the Adam Clark Bible Commentary is correct
when it states that
"...the whole
Christian system is vain and baseless"!!!
When
Prof. John Allegro was quoted as saying that
what has been revealed in the discovery of the
Dead Sea Scrolls is a great amount of
overwhelming evidence that
“...may upset a great many basic
teachings of the Christian Church. This in
turn would greatly upset many Christian
Theologians and believers. The heart of the
matter is, in fact, the source and originality
of Christian doctrine”
(August 1966
issue of Harpers Magazine); what he was in fact
stating is that, everything that we now know
about Christian beginnings demonstrate that the
Essene/Ebionites were not the heretics, as they
were falsely portrayed by the later Gentile
church, but were in fact the body of genuine
believers that held fast to the authentic
teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and the New
Covenant.
And
what did the Dead Sea Scrolls prove beyond a
shadow of a doubt?
That the
Ebionites who were condemned by the later Roman
Church who created the Jesus-god myth, were
correct -- and that the Gentiles were too
heathen to comprehend the teachings of Jesus and
TheWay. Thus, the Encyclopedia Britannica
writes:
"Most
of the features of Ebionite doctrine were
anticipated in the teachings of the earlier
Qumran sect, as revealed in the
Dead Sea Scrolls. They
believed in one God and taught that Jesus was
the Messiah... They rejected the Virgin Birth of
Jesus, instead holding that he was the natural
son of Joseph and Mary. The Ebionites believed
Jesus became the Messiah because he obeyed the
Jewish Law. They themselves faithfully followed
the Law, although they removed what they
regarded as interpolations in order to uphold
their teachings, which included vegetarianism,
holy poverty, ritual ablutions, and the
rejection of animal sacrifices. The Ebionites
also held Jerusalem in great veneration.
(Encyclopaedia
Britannica Online).
It is easily proven
that before being corrupted by the Church of
Rome, the original Gospels portrayed Jesus as a
holy man who fulfilled the Law within himself,
and overcame the barrier between man and God as
demonstrated conclusively in the article
TheTenWords.com . In the same
way that Pythagoras (as stated above)
maintained that only those who lived the
necessary lifestyle and possessed the esoteric
knowledge of the Cosmology of Mind could
understand man's higher soul and spiritual
reality, and that
Jesus became the
Messiah (Anointed) and Son of God by living the
necessary Consecrated Life that enabled him to
fulfill the Law within himself, then the truth
of the Gospel is found in the witness of the
Ebionites who
held firmly to the position that Jesus
"...was justified by
fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God,
since not one of the rest of mankind had
observed the Law completely. Had any one else
fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would
have been the Christ,
for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man
in like sense with all humanity" (see
Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34).
When the Ebionite
Nazirenes
make reference to the Law, this very much
includes the Natural Laws of Creation as
portrayed in the writings of Deists in the words
"...the designs/laws found throughout Nature and
all of Creation". That the
historical man Jesus was a pattern for all of
mankind because of his success in overcoming the
Laws, is demonstrated in the words:
"He was the Christ of God,
since not one of the rest of mankind had
observed the Law completely. Had any one else
fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would
have been the Christ..." And
this confirms this statement with respect to the
true potential of all of mankind that Jesus
taught, as demonstrated in the words of
Hippolytus when he wrote that they believed that
when anyone
"...thus fulfill the law,
they are able to become Christs"
(Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34 -
see
http://Ebionite.com ). And this is why
Jesus taught that he was our brother -- i.e.,
"Go instead to my
brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my
Father and your Father, to my God and your God'"
(John 20:17 NIV). Thus, not only does the
original Gospel reject the many creeds of
"revealed" religion that is the dogmatic
foundation of the modern Church, but with the
above proven link between the Essenes and the
Ebionite
Nazirenes, the
ultimate rejection of the literal text of the
scriptures can be established in the quotation
from the
Essene Gospel of Peace where it is written:
And Jesus himself sat down in their midst and
said: "I tell you truly, none can be happy,
except he do the Law."
And the others answered: "We all do the laws of
Moses, our lawgiver, even as they are written in
the holy scriptures."
And Jesus answered: "Seek not the law in your
scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the
scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses
received not his laws from God in writing, but
through the living word. The law is living word
of living God to living prophets for living
men... God wrote not the laws in the pages of
books, but in your heart and in your spirit...
But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and
you shut your ears that you may not hear. I tell
you truly, that the scripture is the work of
man, but life and all its hosts are the work of
our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the
words of God which are written in His works? And
wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which
are the work of the hands of men?"
"How may we read the laws of God elsewhere than
in the scriptures? Where are they written? Read
them to us from there where you see them, for we
know nothing else but the scriptures which we
have inherited from our forefathers. Tell us the
laws of which you speak, that hearing them we
may be healed and justified."
Jesus said: "You do not understand the words of
life, because you are in death. Darkness darkens
your eyes and your ears are stopped with
deafness. For I tell you, it profits you not at
all that you pore over dead scriptures if by
your deeds you deny him who has given you the
scriptures.
I tell you truly, God and his laws are not in
that which you do. They are not in gluttony and
in wine-bibbing, neither in riotous living, nor
in lustfulness, nor in seeking after riches, nor
yet in hatred of your enemies. For all these
things are far from the true God and from his
angels. But all these things come from the
kingdom of darkness and the lord of all evils.
And all these things do you carry in yourselves;
and so the word and the power of God enter not
into you, because all manner of evil and all
manner of abominations have their dwelling in
your body and your spirit. If you will that the
living God's word and his power may enter you,
defile not your body and your spirit; for the
body is the temple of the spirit, and the spirit
is the temple of God. Purify, therefore, the
temple, that the Lord of the temple may dwell
therein and occupy a place that is worthy of
him.
"And from all temptations of your body and your
spirit, coming from Satan, withdraw beneath the
shadow of God's heaven. (quoted in
The
Abysmal Pursuit Of God By The Letter That
Killeth).
Nowhere
in any of the writings of Thomas Paine or those
associated with Deism does such a rejection of
what is portrayed as revealed religion and the
reliance upon the literal text of the scriptures
exist in such a profoundly enlightened manner as
in the above. And what this confirms
is the fact that the original authors of the
Gospel accounts out Deist the Deists -- totally
rejecting both the literal text of the
scriptures and all concepts portrayed as
revealed religion. Which means
that when, out of ignorance, the modern Deist
rejects the original Gospel message and
accounts, they are in fact rejecting and
condemning the very essence of Deism itself!!!
While it is an easy thing to conclude that one
sees the Presence of Creator-God or a Higher
Power when one looks out at Nature and Creation -- and if it is the position of faith-based
Deists that they don't need a Moses, Jesus or
Mohammed to reveal this reality of Creator-God
to them -- then, while this position is true, it
would also be required to assert that such a position would have to be
classified as entry-level or elementary Deism.
And from this perspective, while the faith-based Deists are
correct, the fact that there exists great
variables in the equation and substance of reason that is not
being addressed, brings the Deist position
itself into
question. And the substance of the
equation would be that the Deists hold the
position that they don't need a chosen revealer
to convey to them the existence of Creator-God
-- that they can observe the Presence of
Creator-God in the manifestations of Nature.
And again, while this is itself self-evident, it
is also true that the Deists who authored the
scriptures were motivated to seek an intimate
union and knowledge with Creator-God -- their
Source of Being. In the same way
that they rejected the literal text of the
scriptures and revealed religion, the Deist
authors of the scriptures would have also
rejected the faith-based revealed Deism that is
being promoted by entry-level Deists today.
In the below from
the Essene Gospel of Peace, not only does it
reject the concept held by most believers that
God authored the scriptures -- it states that
(1)
you should be able to look out at the universe
and begin to understand God;
(2)
that the people of this world dwell in death;
(3)
and most importantly, it states that your own
condition of mind will be the determining factor
with respect to your understanding of Self, God,
and all things. Moreover,
belief
is measured by your WILLINGNESS AND DESIRE TO
MAKE SERIOUS CHANGE AND BECOME ALIVE
-- which of course can easily be portrayed as
one's escape from Plato's Cave and the world of
illusions. Notice the words that I placed
in RED BOLD in the above -- and by this
definition, few in number among the religions of
the world could even be considered believers.
When rightly
understood, is the words of the Gospel of Peace
-- i.e., Jesus said:
"You do not understand the words of life,
because you are in death. Darkness darkens your
eyes and your ears are stopped with deafness.
For I tell you, it profits you not at all that
you pore over dead scriptures if by your deeds
you deny him who has given you the scriptures"
-- any different than those of Kabbalist Carlo
Suares where he wrote:
"People are afraid to face the truth about
themselves and the meaningless, empty lives they
live. Consequently, instead of facing the truth,
they unconsciously distort all the meanings of
the Bible which would endanger the safety of the
comfortable containers they have built, inside
which they have retired from real life and its
uncertainties"? And is it
not proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the
later Church which promoted the dogmatic opium
of "priestcraft"
to the masses, corrupted the Gospels in order to
maintain positions of power and authority over
the people (see
BibleCorruption.com)? And
in not possessing the esoteric knowledge that
the Enlightened Deists preserved and concealed
within the allegorical text in plain site of the
"priestcraft",
the modern Deist not only condemns and rejects
the wisdom of the Enlightened Deists, but has
consigned their own existence to faith-based
revealed Deism that totally lacks the
Experiential Knowledge of God which can only be
achieved through Oneness -- being themselves
conquered by the very same
"priestcraft" they oppose who
consigns their existence to
"...meaningless, empty
lives they live" without achieving
the Ultimate Goals of the very Enlightened
Deists who were persecuted as heretics by the
Church which they oppose?

allegations against modern Deism is that it is a
body of Atheists who are masquerading as Deists
in order to oppose the Institutionalized Church.
The Deists maintain that mankind has been imbued
with the Gift of Reason that should be used in
the evaluation of the validity of all claims to
a special insight into the nature and reality of
God. And while they are correct in
their assertion, they fail to understand the
very traditions which the authors of the
scriptures employed to preserve a body of
knowledge that the vast majority of people
rejected as heresy. While the
Deists are correct in their position that the
use of reason discloses countless
inconsistencies in the written text of the
scriptures. If they understood the
traditions, they would know that these
inconsistencies were intentionally written into
the text so that an intelligent seeker would
reject what is being literally or historically
presented (see
Inconsistencies Purposely Written Into The
Scriptures). While the
Deists maintain that a man of reason will reject
the God revealed in the scriptures, does such an
assertion constitute the use of reason, when it
can be demonstrated conclusively that the
scriptures were intentionally written so that
men of reason will reject the written text that
the Apostle Paul portrayed as the
"letter that killeth"
(2 Cor 3:6) and "Jewish
fables" (Tit 1:14).
Which position is in perfect agreement with such
enlightened Jews as
Moses
Maimonedes, one of the most respected of Jewish
theologians, historian, and Talmudist, who writes
about the nature of scripture:
“Every
time that you find in our books a tale the
reality of which seems impossible, a story which
is repugnant to both reason and common sense,
then be sure that the tale contains a profound
allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and
the greater the absurdity of the letter, the
deeper the wisdom of the spirit”.
What Moses Maimonedes is stating, then, is that
there exists many parts of the scriptures that
are literally and historically not true -- going
so far as to even portray portions of the
written texts as being
"...repugnant to both reason and common sense".
Why? So the portrayal of god in the
written text will be rejected by men of reason.
Therefore, once
properly understood, the allegorical scriptures
are intentionally written with untruths and
absurdities purposely written into the body
of the text, so that rationally minded readers
will look beyond the letter of the written
word and seek the deeper meaning. Thus, the Church Father Origen writes:
“What man of sense will
agree with the statement that the first, second
and third days in which the evening is named and
the morning, were without sun, moon and stars,
and the first day without a heaven. What man is
found such an idiot as to suppose that God
planted trees in paradise in Eden, like a
husbandman, and planted therein the tree of
life, perceptible to the eyes and senses, which
gave life to the eater thereof; and another tree
which gave to the eater thereof a knowledge of
good and evil? I believe that every man must
hold these things for images, under which the
hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen
- Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142). Which means that
with respect to the literal text of the
scriptures which the Apostle Paul portrayed as
the
"letter that killeth
[and] Jewish folktales" (see Shackled
In The Abyss Of Absolute Ignorance), the
Deist is saying nothing more than the most
knowledgeable of Jews and Christians.
A person of reason and
intellect would of course pose the question: Has
the Deist who rejects the textual body of the
scriptures stated anything that the core people
within Judaism and Christianity not already
openly stated?
The
early Christian Church Father Origen writes: “It
is sufficient however, to represent in the style
of a historic narrative
what is intended to convey a secret meaning in
the garb of history, that those who have the
capacity may work out for themselves all that
relates to the subject.” Which,
to a rationally minded person would provoke the
question: What are the qualifiers that enable
some people to possess
"...the capacity [to] work out for themselves all
that relates to the subject”???
And if the textual body of the scriptures are
not historically and factually true -- even
containing accounts which are
"...repugnant to both reason and common sense"
-- why would an intelligent seeker even consult
them at all?
With regard to what would otherwise be promoted
as historical symbols and events that would
appear to us as the knowledge of superficial
episodes of the past, Origen writes: “I
believe that every man must hold these things
for images, under which the hidden sense lies
concealed” (Origen
- Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142).
In the same way that the knowledge of the
Natural Laws enables man to conquer space and
travel to distant planets (see
Natural Law
And American Exceptionalism), concealed
within the allegorical text is the esoteric
knowledge of the Laws and Forces of Mind that
when utilized in the proper body-environment,
enables the seeker to bring about the necessary
"...heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness”
that enables the seeker to Experience and Know
God through the process of Oneness.
Students of Hebrew Mysticism will perceive that
what the third-century Christian Church Father
Origen wrote was no different than what is
contained in the Zohar, where it states: “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”. The
Jewish mystic who spends his life seeking the
inner meaning of the written word that the
natural mind of man is incapable of seeing, has
warned: "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 quoted in No
Jew Has Read The Torah).
When Jesus confronted
the Pharisees for having thrown away what Jesus
called the Key of Knowledge (
http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ), which caused
them to observe the scriptures outwardly in
ritual and tradition, Jesus portrayed them as
the offspring of the Devil -- i.e.,
"Why do
you not understand My speech? Because you are
not able to listen to My word. You are of your
father the devil, and the desires of your father
you want to do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaks
a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he
is a liar and the father of it"
(John 8:43-44 NKJ). Thus, the reasoning of the
Pharisees was not only incapable of
comprehending the true reality of God, but was
causing them to be what Jesus portrayed as
"blind guides".
Paul called
the literal text an allegory. These
same truths are again conveyed to us in the
words of the Church Historian Eusebius: “Many
were led astray by reading the allegorical
contents of the scriptures literally in the
method of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”. What
these symbols truly mean is perhaps best
expressed by G.R.S. Mead in his celebrated work, Fragments
of a Faith Forgotten, where he explained
that, once properly understood, the true meaning
of what is “…projected
onto the screen…” of
the scriptures, “…was
in reality a picture of their [man’s] own minds”.
The Church Father Origen went one step
further and reasoned that "...What
man is found such an idiot as" to
believe these forms and symbols literally, and
not to understand "...that
every man must hold these things for images,
under which the hidden sense lies concealed”?
(see Mystery).
Why? Why were the scriptures written
with untruths intentionally written into the
body of the text of the written word?
In the same way that when a beast becomes
conditioned to its environment, when the mind of
man is ruled over by his lower animal/carnal
nature, he will believe virtually anything --
i.e., Pagan sacrifices, virgin sacrifices,
belief in a warring and conquering god, belief
in a vengeful god that is even more evil than
the most vile of mankind. As
stated above, the Apostle Peter warns that the
enigmas of the scriptures which he portrays as
the "mystery
of the books with the power to deceive" (see Power
To Deceive), where
historical untruths which were intentionally
inserted into the body of the text as a test to
the reader. Peter portrays the Gentiles as
being easily deceived, because they are
accustomed to believing bad things about God.
Thus, the god of the Old Testament has been
insightfully portrayed as resembling the Wizard
of OZ -- i.e., a magical nut case behind the
curtain who liked physical circumcision,
genocide of non-Jews including killing every
woman & child -- a god who made man, then
repented he even made man and killed everyone on
earth but Noah and his immediate family -- a god
who kills a man for trying to steady the ARK, a
voodoo god who loves animal sacrifice and blood
sprinkling, a god who sacrifices his son.
Of the portrayal of God in the written text of
the Old Testament, American author Mark Twain
writes: "A God who
could make good children as easily as bad, yet
preferred to make bad ones; who could have made
every one of them happy, yet never made a single
happy one; who made prize their bitter life, yet
stingily cut it short; who gave his angels
eternal happiness unearned, yet required his
other children to earn it; who gave his angels
painless lives, yet cursed his other children
with biting miseries and maladies of mind and
body; who mouths justice and invented Hell -
mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied
seventy times seven, and invented Hell; who
mouths morals to other people and has none
himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits
them all; who created man without invitation,
then tries to shuffle the responsibility for
man's acts upon man, instead of hororably
placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and
finally, with altogether divine obtuseness,
invites this poor, abused slave to worship him"
(from The Mysterious Stranger).
The
scriptures are very clear, it’s all allegorical
about the Kingdom within. The reader is
warned in John 6:63, that reading the
scriptures literally has no profit at all (“the
flesh profiteth nothing”) and leaves
the reader spiritually bankrupt : "It
is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto
you, they are spirit, and they are life".
What Moses Maimonedes is stating in the above,
is that there exists many parts of the
scriptures that are literally and historically
not true -- going so far as to even portray
portions of the written texts as being "...repugnant
to both reason and common sense".
And with respect to the extreme allegory used in
the Torah and books of the Old Testament
(excluding the Gospels), the question must be asked: How can
any intelligent reader of the scriptures,
whether believer or critic, make the claim that
they know what it being stated, when the
scriptures were intentionally written so that
only an initiate into the Mystery Religion known
as Judaism could perceive the true meaning?
Why was unhistorical events that were
portrayed as being "...repugnant
to both reason and common sense"
even inserted into the scriptures in the first
place? The answer which confirms the position
of the Deists is because much of what was
presented in the literal text was exactly as
Paul portrayed it -- i.e., "Jewish
fables" (Titus
1:14). Therefore, an intelligent person of
reason would pose the question: Why did the
authors of the scriptures weave their truths
within and around "Jewish
fables"?
The answer is twofold -- i.e.,
(1)
because when the
Key of Knowledge is properly employed,
the very forms of nature which are themselves
composed by Creator-God in the Language of the
Soul in allegorical symbols of mind impressed into
living and natural forms that man observes with
his natural senses, these same forms can be used to present
a Living Representation of the Laws and Forces
of Mind and Being -- and
(2)
because if their writings did not conform to the
very heathen and superstitious beliefs of the
nomadic tribe who called themselves Jews, the
writings themselves would be rejected and
destroyed. Therefore, because the authors of
the scriptures who were themselves Deist Mystics
recognized the journey of the soul, they
understood that they, or the future images
generated by their own soul -- would need the
wisdom and knowledge contained within the
scriptures in the future -- and what better way
to preserve this sacred knowledge than to place
it in the hands of believers in the manner of a
Trojan Horse, and use the congregation of blind
believers as mules who transport and safeguard
the esoteric knowledge from one time-period into
the next -- to be used again by those who
understand the proper application of the
Key of Knowledge which unlocks the esoteric
secrets of mind and being. Therefore,
isn't Paul stating this exact same truth when he
writes to the Galatians who are attempting to
embrace Jewish ritualistic ways, and states: “Tell
me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye
not hear the law?” And
then Paul goes on to explain to those who want
to attempt to read the written word literally,
in an historical context as Christians do today: “For
it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the
one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But
he who was of the bondwoman was born after the
flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Which things are an allegory” (Gal
4:21-24 KJV).
That the Jew who remained
of a natural carnal mindset could not see beyond
the symbols of the allegory, and their eyes and
hearts were hardened by their ideological and
philosophic beliefs to the degree that they
could not comprehend the true meaning of the
scriptures, is readily understood where Paul
states that “their
minds were blinded” by
God, “for
until this day remaineth the same vail untaken
away in the reading of the old testament… even
unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is
upon their heart” (2
Cor 3:14-15 KJV). From a spiritual perspective,
when the Jews worship the god of the literal
written word -- in the words of Paul, the god of
the
"letter that killeth
[and] Jewish folktales"
--
with rituals, animal
sacrifices, incense, in a temple made with the
hands of men, it can truly be said that the Jews
worshiped a false god -- a god which the
Spiritual Christians portrayed as a Demiurge
that created the mental world in which they
lived. And what was it that the scriptures used
by the Jews said: "The
multitude of your sacrifices-- what are they to
me? says the LORD. I have more than enough of
burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened
animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of
bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to
appear before me, who has asked this of you,
this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing
meaningless offerings! Your incense is
detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and
convocations-- I cannot bear your evil
assemblies. Your New Moon festivals and your
appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become
a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When
you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide
my eyes from you; even if you offer many
prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full
of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take
your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing
wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice,
encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the
fatherless, plead the case of the widow" (Isa
1:11-17 NIV).
Why
does the Most High God take no pleasure in
rituals, sacrifices, incense, Sabbaths and New
Moon festivals? In the words of the Church
Father Origen: “I
believe that every man must hold these things
for images, under which the hidden sense lies
concealed.” And
in the words of Paul: "Which
things are an allegory.” And
in the words of the Jewish Mystic: “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”.
With respect to the
body of esoteric knowledge maintained by
Pythagoras, an interesting exchange can be
observed in the example when the pre-Nicene
(prior to 325 CE) Church was attacked by Celsus for being a
“secret system”
(see
Secret Doctrine) -- teaching the inner core
of Christians a totally
different doctrine than others to which the
Church Father Origen replied:
“Moreover, since he
frequently calls the Christian doctrine a secret
system, we must confute him on this point also,
since almost the entire world is better
acquainted with what Christians preach than with
the favorite opinions of philosophers. For who
is ignorant of the statement that Jesus was born
of a virgin, and that He was crucified, and that
His Resurrection is an article of faith among
many, and that a general judgment is announced
to come, in which the wicked are to be punished
according to their desserts, and the righteous
to be duly rewarded?”
Fundamentally, what Origen enumerated was
elementary Christian doctrine 101 -- i.e., what
the Apostle Paul refers to as the
“milk”
-- or that basic doctrine which still exists to
this very day (see
Mystery Of The Gospel). Origen
acknowledged these doctrines which he
acknowledged was
“preached in the Churches… for the simpleminded
and for the ears of the common crowd who are led
on to live better lives by their belief”,
and refuted Celsus by stating that while these
beliefs are openly expounded as articles of
Christian faith, Origen then explained:
“And yet the mystery of
the Resurrection, not being understood, is made
a subject of ridicule among the unbelievers. In
these circumstances, to speak of the Christian
doctrine as a secret system is altogether
absurd. But that
there should be certain doctrines, not made
known to the multitude, which are after the
exoteric ones having been taught, is not a
peculiarity of Christianity alone,
but also of philosophic systems, in which
certain truths are exoteric and others are
esoteric. Some of the heroes of Pythagoras were
content with his ipse dixit; while others were
taught in secret those doctrines which were not
deemed fit to be communicated to the profane and
insufficiently prepared ears. Moreover, all the
mysteries that are celebrated everywhere
throughout Greece and the barbarous countries,
although held in secret, have no discredit
thrown upon them, so that it is in vain he
endeavors to calumniate the secret doctrines of
Christianity, seeing that he does not correctly
understand its nature”.
It
is important that the reader not skim over this
rather profound statement that was composed by
Origen in reply to the allegations of Celsus
with respect to the acknowledgement that
Christianity was is a secret system where the
multitude of believers
were taught differently than those who were more
spiritually mature. Moreover, what is
imperative for the modern seeker to realize
is that Origen -- whose reply to Celsus
represented the position of the whole Church on
these matters -- states that there is another
meaning in the doctrine of the resurrection that
is not understood by the multitude of believers
who were of the simple faith. In view of the
fact that this allegation by Celsus was made
against the church before Origen was even born,
we cannot take the position that the ideas
expressed in this document represent the
personal beliefs of Origen. And that
the use of Reason is contingent upon the
individuals condition of mind, is demonstrated
conclusively above at
Do Atheists Prove The Deists In Error?
And this confirms the position of Plato who
maintained that only those who escaped the
illusions of what is known as
Plato's Cave had the capacity to understand
man's higher soul-reality -- which further
confirms the position of Pythagoras that to
comprehend man's higher soul and spiritual
reality requires the developmental maturity to
comprehend what organic man cannot -- which is
also confirmed in the article
Could Thomas Paine Do What The Apostle Paul Said
Was Impossible? In fact, for the
Deist to maintain that -- regardless of their
condition of mind -- that anyone and everyone
can see the existence of God by their
observation of the outer world in defiance of
the state of absolute confusion that exists
among mankind, must be seen as a suspension of
Reason on the part of the Deists.
Which raises the question: How does a person
develop the condition of mind and maturity
necessary to observe God in the outer world as
the enlightened visionary and Deist proclaims?
An ultra-important element in the equation of
the necessary
"...heightening and enlargement of human
consciousness”
that enables the seeker to Experience and Know
God through the process of Oneness, is an
understanding of the Natural Laws of Creation
that is active within the body and mind of each
individual, as well as the Wisdom to put these
Laws into effect to bring about the intended
effect of why these Laws were instituted by
Creator-God in the development of mankind.
In the same way that acclaimed Deists such as
Plato and Pythagoras focused on the need for
self-development and the process of achieving a
condition of mental-maturity, it is
ultra-important to recognize the fact that what
the Gospel of Thomas portrays as poverty of mind
and intellect is presented as self-ignorance --
i.e., "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".
Thomas Paine's father was a Quaker -- and
the Quakers rejected both scriptures and clergy
as an intermediary authority between man and God -- i.e.,
"Though Fox used the
Bible to support his views, Fox reasoned that,
because God was within the faithful, believers
could follow their own inner guide rather than
rely on a strict reading of Scripture or the
word of clerics. [directly quoting George
Fox] ...as I had forsaken
the priests, so I left the separate preachers
also, and those esteemed the most experienced
people; for I saw there was none among them all
that could speak to my condition"
(see
George Fox). Thus, for the Deist
to ignore what the very words of Thomas Paine in
The Rights Of Man stated, when he wrote:
"The mind, in
discovering truths, acts in the same manner as
it acts through the eye in discovering objects;
when once any object has been seen, it is
impossible to put the mind back to the same
condition it was in before it saw it"
-- ignoring the fact that the mind that is
complacent to Truth remains perpetually blind to
Higher Reasoning, is intellectually dishonest on
the part of Deists who attempt to proclaim the
equality of Reason across the spectrum of all of
mankind -- without any consideration being given
to the observer's Condition of Mind.
In
recognizing the impossibility of revealing to
the mind of organic man who made no effort to
seek Truth or improve his Condition of Mind, the
biblical authors maintained that the exoteric
teaching of the Gospel which Paul portrayed as
"milk" for
entry-level believers (see
Could Thomas Paine Do What The Apostle Paul Said
Was Impossible?), was itself designed to
provide stimulation for the development of the
mind -- with the hope of ushering in a change of
Condition that would enable the person to
perceive and comprehend with greater depth of
understanding. But more important is
the fact that when the
Key of Knowledge is properly applied to the
scriptures, neither Judaism, Christianity or
Islam can any longer be classified as a
"revealed religion".
Why? Because once the scriptures are
turned within self -- and the symbolism is
understood as portraying not only aspects of
one's own consciousness -- presenting to the
seeker the very Forces and Laws of Mind that
animates his consciousness and being -- then
what is portrayed in the allegory of the written
word as an historical man Jesus, becomes a
Condition of Mind that is the ultimate destiny
of every person who has ever walked the face of
the earth. In the same way that in
our modern culture we have words that portray an
individuals Condition of Mind -- i.e., retard,
average, genus and the variations between --
when the
Key of Knowledge is properly applied to the
scriptures, what is presented is a text-book
which when put into practice, stimulates the
mind to bring about a Condition of Wholeness.
Thomas Jefferson who
was a Deist, understood the importance of the
Gospel teachings and concepts, and removed the
miracles and supernatural events in his Bible,
in order to bring focus to what was important.
In the earlier translations all the miracles of
healing that reportedly took place in the Gospel
accounts, accomplished the healing through
"wholeness". Thus, because the
"priestcraft"
corrupts the scriptures once placed in the hands
of the common people, these miracles of healing
and supernatural events were employed to
allegorically present the process of making the
person
"whole".
The Deist authors of the Gospels employed
allegorical miracles and supernatural events,
knowing that the "priestcraft"
who were incapable of comprehending the true
meaning of the Gospel would leave them in tact,
without corrupting the text, because the
"priestcraft"
was then able to use them in their dogmatic
opium which they used to control the thinking of
the people. Yet, men of higher
reason would perceive the absurdity of the
letter, and seek the deeper spiritual meaning.
Understanding the need to bring about a
Condition of Wholeness within their own mind and
being.
How Can
This Be, You Ask???
Throughout history those few who did seek Truth
and strive to change their Condition of Mind in
order to create within themselves the essential
fertile ground that is necessary for the kernel
of Truth to grow and mature their perception and
understanding, have not only been confronted by
the inability of organic man to comprehend this
higher Truth, but when they attempted to openly acknowledge this
Truth, they invoked the wrath of
"priestcraft" who hunted them down
as heretics. And one of the
prime examples of this reality is demonstrated
in the burning at the stake of the enlightened
priest Giordano Bruno (see
Spiritual Religion).
And in spite of this reality, those who become
privy to this Higher Truth that organic man is
blind to because of his lack of development -- a
lack of development borne out of complacency and
allegiance to the secular authorities who Thomas
Paine portrays as the work of
"priestcraft"
-- it remains true that these more spiritually
mature souls who have evolved their Gift of
Reason, are obligated to
protect and preserve the body of esoteric
knowledge of the Laws and Forces of Mind and
Being that opens the eyes and the mind of those
who seek the Truth with a sincere and dauntless
heart.
Thus, The Great Enigmatic
Question: By what means could
those who had developed their Reason and
Intelligence -- evolved their thinking and depth
of being beyond
"natural" organic limits -- preserve
important knowledge that was condemned as heresy
by the
"priestcraft"
and their minions -- preserve this knowledge of
the Laws and Forces of Mind in such a way,
that it would be universally accessible to all
who could properly use it -- both in the
present, and in the future? Further,
add to
this the complexity seen in the fact that as
openly stated, it was and remains impossible for
the undeveloped
"natural" mind of man to comprehend
his own higher soul and spiritual reality (see
Mystery
and
Could Thomas Paine Do What The Apostle Paul Said
Was Impossible?). The
answer is that they hid and concealed this
crucial body of higher knowledge in plain sight
-- and they accomplished this by composing
scriptures in the Universal Language Of The Soul
-- which is the same language with which all of
Creation is composed in by Creator-God.
What this means is
that the Deists were correct when they
maintained that the use of Reason and
Observation of the world has the capacity to
reveal God -- which is in total agreement with
the Apostle Paul who wrote:
"...because that which is known about God
...for God made it evident to them. For since
the creation of the world His invisible
attributes, His eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly seen,
being understood through what has been made,
so that they are
without excuse"
(Rom 1:19-20 NAS).
As a seeker begins to understand the Laws and
Forces of Nature -- not only does this Knowledge
reveal the Creator -- but also that all of
Creation is composed and written in the
Universal Language of the Soul. And
in understanding this reality of the Natural
Laws, the authors of the scriptures preserved
and concealed the knowledge of the Forces and
Laws that control the mind and lives of mankind,
by composing the scriptures in the same Language
of the Soul with which all of Creation is
composed by Creator-God.
The Language Of
The Soul: Why did the authors of
the scriptures compose parabolic and enigmatic
scriptures written in what is best portrayed as
The Language Of The Soul? The Master Deist Plato
in his analogy of the Cave, portrayed mankind as
dwelling in a world of shadow-illusions (see
Plato's Cave ) -- unable to see or
understand the true nature and reality of the
world in which man is presently dwelling.
And this is of the utmost importance to the
modern seeker -- both Theist and Deist --
because
(1)
if it is true that if mankind is not perceiving
the whole picture and vision of reality when he
looks out at the world; and
(2)
we are not seeing the source -- but rather,
(3)
a fragmented perception of reflective images
which Plato and countless other mystics have
portrayed as illusional shadows of a higher
reality that "natural"
organic man is incapable of perceiving at a
source-level;
(4)
then we can begin to understand why men of
varied Reason all perceive the world
differently.
Of this
Sacred
Language of
the Soul
with which
all of
Creation is
composed in
-- and is
the same
Language the
authors of
the
scriptures
used to
compose
their Sacred
Texts --
Galileo
wrote:
"Philosophy
is written
in that
great book
which ever
lies before
our eyes — I
mean the
universe —
but we
cannot
understand
it if we do
not first
learn the
language and
grasp the
symbols, in
which it is
written."
In like
manner
Thomas Paine
wrote in The
Age Of
Reason:
"The
Creation
speaketh a
universal
language,
independently
of human
speech or
human
language,
multiplied
and various
as they may
be. It is an
ever-existing
original,
which every
man can
read. It
cannot be
forged; it
cannot be
counterfeited;
it cannot be
lost; it
cannot be
altered; it
cannot be
suppressed.
It does not
depend upon
the will of
man whether
it shall be
published or
not; it
publishes
itself from
one end of
the earth to
the other.
It preaches
to all
nations and
to all
worlds; and
this word of
God reveals
to man all
that is
necessary
for man to
know of
God."
And this
same exact
reality is
portrayed in
The Essene
Gospel Of
Peace where
it is
written:
And Jesus
himself sat
down in
their midst
and said: "I
tell you
truly, none
can be
happy,
except he do
the Law."
And the
others
answered:
"We all do
the laws of
Moses, our
lawgiver,
even as they
are written
in the holy
scriptures."
And Jesus
answered:
"Seek not
the law in
your
scriptures,
for the law
is life,
whereas the
scripture is
dead.
I tell you
truly, Moses
received not
his laws
from God in
writing, but
through the
living word.
The law is
living word
of living
God to
living
prophets for
living men.
In
everything
that is life
is the law
written. You
find it in
the grass,
in the tree,
in the
river, in
the
mountain, in
the birds of
heaven, in
the fishes
of the sea;
but seek it
chiefly in
yourselves.
For I tell
you truly,
all living
things are
nearer to
God than the
scripture
which is
without
life. God so
made life
and all
living
things that
they might
by the
everlasting
word teach
the laws of
the true God
to man. God
wrote not
the laws in
the pages of
books, but
in your
heart and in
your spirit.
They are in
your breath,
your blood,
your bone;
in your
flesh, your
bowels, your
eyes, your
ears, and in
every little
part of your
body. They
are present
in the air,
in the
water, in
the earth,
in the
plants, in
th e
sunbeams, in
the depths
and in the
heights.
They all
speak to you
that you may
understand
the tongue
and the will
of the
living God.
But you shut
your eyes
that you may
not see, and
you shut
your ears
that you may
not hear. I
tell you
truly, that
the
scripture is
the work of
man, but
life and all
its hosts
are the work
of our God.
Wherefore do
you not
listen to
the words of
God which
are written
in His
works? And
wherefore do
you study
the dead
scriptures
which are
the work of
the hands of
men?"
"How may we
read the
laws of God
elsewhere
than in the
scriptures?
Where are
they
written?
Read them to
us from
there where
you see
them, for we
know nothing
else but the
scriptures
which we
have
inherited
from our
forefathers.
Tell us the
laws of
which you
speak, that
hearing them
we may be
healed and
justified."
Jesus said:
"You do not
understand
the words of
life,
because you
are in
death.
Darkness
darkens your
eyes and
your ears
are stopped
with
deafness.
For I tell
you, it
profits you
not at all
that you
pore over
dead
scriptures
if by your
deeds you
deny him who
has given
you the
scriptures.
Without
exception,
this is
true.
Moreover,
this same
Language
when
properly
understood,
has the
power to
reveal to
the seeker
the very
Laws and
Forces of
the
Cosmology of
Mind that is
operating
within his
own body and
being.
To
understand
the
allegorical
appearances
in first the
scriptures,
then observe
these same
realities at
work in the
outer world
and cosmos,
and lastly
within one's
own body and
mind -- and
then to
apply this
wisdom and
knowledge so
as to move
beyond the
"natural"
human
limitations
within one's
own mind and
being -- is
in fact the
very
objective
and purpose
of life --
as well as
the
Spiritual
Message of
the Gospels.
When it is
understood
that all
objects are
an
allegorical
representation
of a thought
and reality
of mind
impressed
into the
forms of
nature --
each having
a unique
vibratory
frequency
that is
represented
in the image
of the
symbol and
form -- only
then does
Galileo's
statement
with respect
to the above
begin to
truly become
revealed
where he
stated:
"This
book (the
universe) is
written in
the
mathematical
language,
and the
symbols are
triangles,
circles and
other
geometrical
figures,
without
whose help
it is
impossible
to
comprehend a
single word
of it;
without
which one
wanders in
vain through
a dark
labyrinth."
What is not
understood
by
Christians
today is the
fact that a
parallel
message was
stated in
the long
ignored
Epistle of
Peter and
James where
it is warned
that if the
esoteric
knowledge of
the
teachings of
Jesus and
TheWay
should
become lost,
that
"...it will
remain even
for those
who really
seek the
truth,
always to
wander in
error".
And sadly,
these two
warnings
have
remained
true even
into our own
time.
Another key to
unlocking the confusion is seen in the fact
that, unlike the science of two to three hundred
years ago, modern science has already confirmed
the reality which the mystic has long attempted
to convey to those who attempt to understand the
world based solely upon what they perceive
through their physical senses -- i.e.,
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”
(see
Science - Religion - And The Etheric Field/Mind).
If it is true that man only sees what can be
portrayed as a
"blemish" within the intersecting
lines of force within an unseen causal field,
then Einstein was correct in the shock he
experienced 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.”
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).
That what we perceive
in the outer world is an illusion -- an illusion
that as a shadow-image, is more factually an
allusion -- an allusion which is composed and
written in the allegorical Language Of The Soul
-- an allusion which Jesus portrayed as the
"outer darkness"
of mind and being (see
Outer Darkness) -- which portrays organic
man dwelling in a condition of inherent
blindness and inability to reason and mentally
function at an elevated level -- i.e.,
“For this people's
heart has become calloused; they hardly hear
with their ears, and they have closed their
eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears, understand with their
hearts...” (Matt 13:15-17 NIV).
And
that mankind is inherently blind and of a very
limited comprehension with respect to the nature
and reality of the images he perceives while dwelling in the Cave
of the Outer Darkness -- perceiving only
allegorical
shadows of a higher reality which is beyond his
organic understanding (see
Could Thomas Paine Do What The Apostle Paul Said
Was Impossible?) -- is the reason why
the Gospel of Thomas states: (5) Jesus said,
"Recognize what is in
your sight, and that which is hidden from you
will become plain to you..."
Worthlessness Of
Written Text: When these words are
understood from the perspective of a truly
rational mind, it would be deemed pure insanity
to suggest that the authors of the scriptures
composed historical accounts which documented
the appearance of a god that was born of a
virgin who came to save mankind from the realm
of illusions within which they were subject for
their failure to put on the proper wedding
garment (see
Outer Darkness). Especially in
view of the important statement by the
pre-Nicene Church Father Origen who stated in
reference to the nature of the written word of
the scriptures. When Jesus taught
that the Kingdom of God is within each of us
(see
Gate Of Eden), what was being conveyed was
the reality that our own mind and being is
segmented -- as has been proven by modern
physics (see
Science Proves Religion). Further, that
this segmentation of mind is the natural result
of the Laws and Forces of Consciousness working
within our own being -- that all genuine
esoteric knowledge is that of self-knowledge or
the Cosmology of one's own mind and being -- and
that the objective is to begin to overcome this
inner segmentation of mind, in the endeavor to
gain access to what the disciples of Jesus
portrayed as the One Teacher who is the
True Prophet -- i.e., the Source of All
Knowledge. Deists such as Thomas Paine often
portrayed the literal text of the scriptures as
being untrue and not historically accurate.
And when we pose the question: What does the
Bible state? The Apostle Paul portrayed the
scriptures as the
"letter that killeth" (2 Cor 3:6) and
"Jewish fables"
(Tit 1:14) -- stating that the written text of
the scriptures was purely allegorical. In the
article
An Inconvenient Truth the fact is presented
that the purpose of the scriptures was to
preserve and conceal the esoteric knowledge
within the garb of allegory to protect it from
the unenlightened carnal believers and their
pseudo-religious leaders (see
An Inconvenient Truth). The enlightened
few have always pointed out the countless
inconsistencies which were purposely inserted
into the literal text of the scriptures which
the critics portray as being so numerous and
unbelievable to a rational minded person, that
is was pointed out by the Church Father Origen
when he portrayed the literal text as virtually
worthless -- i.e.,
“Scripture contains an unhistorical element
in-woven with the history, in order that the
worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek
the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted
under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of
Religion and Ethics). Further explaining in De
Principiis that: “Where
the word found that things done according to the
history could be adapted to these mystical
senses, he made use of them concealing from the
multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the
narrative of the development of super-sensual
things, there did not follow the performance of
those certain events which were already
indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture
interwove in the history the account of some
event that did not take place, sometimes what
could not have happened; sometimes what could
but did not.” And that the carnal
mind of both the blind believer, as well as the
skeptic critic, both attempt to ignore these
important inconsistencies (see
Inconsistencies Purposely Written Into Body Of
Scriptural Text), and attempt to read the
scriptures as an historical account, inhibits
them from perceiving and understanding the great
truths that lie concealed beneath the
allegorical texts. And in the proper
application of the scriptures as the
Key of Knowledge, the Church Father Origen
writes: “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, the consequence is that they never
begin to have knowledge".
What does this
mean? What it means is that
"...all the narrative portion [of the
scriptures], relating either to the marriages,
or to the begetting of the children, or to
battles of different kinds, or to any other
histories whatever", do not at all
pertain to historical accounts of man's more
distant past -- but rather, to the Forces and
Laws that are presently working within man's own
mind and being. Why? How could Origen who
was called the prince of Christian learning
second only to the Apostles themselves, state
that the historical interpretation of the
scriptures is
"worthless"? And that what is
presented in the written text as marriages, the
begetting of children, and the many various wars
and battles are not at all historical -- but
rather, an allegorical portrayal of the Forces
and Laws working within one's own mind and
being? The answer is this: A truly spiritual
people have no need of an historical account in
their search for Truth -- but rather, their
primary concern is to tap into the Inner Source
of Knowledge which the disciples portrayed as
the
True Prophet. And because man's
pseudo-authorities of this world remain
virtually ignorant of the profound reality
portrayed in Origen's statement that
"...As
men, however, make little effort to exercise
their intellect, or imagine that they
possess knowledge before they really learn,
the consequence is that they never begin to have
knowledge" -- indicating and
confirming the reality that the Source of
Knowledge already dwells within man -- in his
failing to understand the Cosmology of his own
mind and being, the vast majority of
pseudo-intellectuals merely alienate themselves
from the True Source of Knowledge within
themselves that remains a perpetual enigma.
The
Conclusion: What this means is
that the true nature of Judaism, Christianity
and Islam is not what the Deists portray as a
"revealed"
religion -- and when the
Key of Knowledge is properly applied, the
portrayal of the man Jesus is representative of
that Condition of Mind necessary to bring about
the inner connection between man and his Inner
Source of Being. And with an
enlightened understanding of the Natural Laws
which cause and bring about the segmentation of
the mind of man, so too is the twelve disciples
an allegorical portrayal of what is signified in
the allegorical account of the Tree of Life that
nourishes the mind of the seeker with the
spiritual nourishment that Completes and makes
the individual Whole. Quoting from
Could Thomas Paine Do What The Apostle Paul Said
Was Impossible?):
Thomas Paine was an
enlightened visionary who saw and understood
what Paul warned the Christian converts with
respect to the limitations of their
"natural"
organic mind and thinking. And in his positions
found in his writings, Thomas Paine understood
the nature of the problem that anchored the
Christian world to a condition of profound
ignorance. In that article entitled
Of The Religion Of Deism Compared With The
Christian Religion, Paine hit the nail on
the head when he writes:
But the Church of Rome having set up its new
religion, which it called Christianity, invented
the creed which it named the Apostles's Creed,
in which it calls Jesus the only son of God,
conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the
Virgin Mary; things of which it is impossible
that man or woman can have any idea, and
consequently no belief but in words; and for
which there is no authority but the idle story
of Joseph's dream in the first chapter of
Matthew, which any designing imposter or foolish
fanatic might make. It then manufactured the
allegories in the book of Genesis into fact, and
the allegorical tree of life and the tree of
knowledge into real trees, contrary to the
belief of the first Christians, and for which
there is not the least authority in any of the
books of the New Testament; for in none of them
is there any mention made of such place as the
Garden of Eden, nor of anything that is said to
have happened there. But the Church of Rome
could not erect the person called Jesus into a
Savior of the world without making the
allegories in the book of Genesis into fact,
though the New Testament, as before observed,
gives no authority for it. All at once the
allegorical tree of knowledge became, according
to the Church, a real tree, the fruit of it real
fruit, and the eating of it sinful. As
priestcraft was always the enemy of knowledge,
because priestcraft supports itself by keeping
people in delusion and ignorance, it was
consistent with its policy to make the
acquisition of knowledge a real sin.
In reality, what Thomas Paine was in fact
stating was that in its quest to empower the new
religion, the Church of Rome in the manner of
the Pharisees, threw away the
Key of Knowledge -- which not only
inhibited the very objective and purpose of the
Gospel Message -- but further flat-lined the
mental and spiritual development of the
faith-based believers -- and because of their
mental-suspension, rendering the use of the
God-Given Gift of Reason virtually impossible.
From the perspective of the Original Authors,
both inconsistencies and unfactual bogus events
were intentionally written into the body of the
text, in order to inhibit the literal
interpretation (see
Inconsistencies). And while the Church
remains in denial of the fact that the New
Testament itself states the exact same thing
with respect to the the fact that the scriptures
were intentionally composed so that the
intelligent seeker would reject the written
meaning of the written text (see
The Spiritual Diaspora).
The proverbial question then becomes:
(1)
Why would the authors of the scriptures
intentionally write what was historically
inaccurate;
(2)
why would they insert countless inconsistencies
into the textual body;
(3)
why would they portray a counterfeit image of
god that would be rejected by men of reason???
It must also be noted that the early Church
Father who has been portrayed as the greatest
teacher second only to the Apostles, portrayed
those who believe the allegorical accounts of
the written text to be
"idiots" (see
Mystery Of The Gospel). And thus, the
most important element of the question: Why did
the Original Authors compose the scriptures in
this manner that most faith-based Christians
would portray as factually inaccurate and
untruthful? Since the time that man first
set foot upon the face of the earth, those who
knew the truth with respect to man's higher
reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the
Kingdom, were hunted down by violent irrational
superstitious mobs led by those who Thomas Paine
portrays as "priestcraft"
and despotic leaders.
The Law is that those who are entrusted with the
knowledge of the Truth, are obligated to protect
and preserve the Truth -- just like they are
obligated to guide sincere seekers in their
quest to learn and possess the Truth. And in the
same way that Paul confessed that it was not
even "lawful"
to openly reveal the higher reality of the soul
and the Mysteries of the Kingdom to profane ears
of those who Jesus portrayed as
"dogs and swine",
the Original Authors were obligated to embed
important esoteric truths beyond the perception
of the carnal faith-based believers who would
destroy the Truth if they were aware of its
presence concealed within the allegory of the
written word which Paul portrayed as the
"letter that killeth
[and] Jewish folktales" (see
Shackled In The
Abyss Of Absolute Ignorance).
All of Creation has been brought forth in accord
with a Divine Design -- composed in the
Universal Language of the Soul -- a language
which can be learned through a conscious
observation of Nature which is written in the
same Universal Language -- and this fact is
confirmed by Paul who wrote:
"...because that which
is known about God ...for God made it evident to
them. ...being understood through what has been
made, so that they are without excuse"
(Rom 1:19-20 NAS).
Admittedly, it is not as easy to look out at the
world and understand God, the Divine Design and
the Language of the Soul -- and so, wise
visionaries created the scriptures to both use
as a text book, and as a catalyst to bring about
the seekers mental and spiritual maturity.
All Knowledge of the reality of Creation and the
relationship of God and Man, can be conditioned
upon the statement in the Gospel of Thomas:
"...But if you will not
know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is
you who are that poverty" (see
The Unknown Self - The Reality Of The Soul).
That the Atheist remains totally lost in a world
of intellectual poverty, and the Theist remains
shackled by an immature understanding of God, is
the direct result of their own failure to Know
Thyself -- and comprehend the Cosmology of Mind
and Being.
Quoting from: Do
Atheists Prove The Deists In Error? When
rightly understood, while man's physical
maturity is, for the most part, the organic
expression of Natural Law -- whereby, growth and
development from infancy to maturity is totally
controlled by the Natural Laws -- this is not
the case with man's state of mental maturity.
Because man has freewill, man's mental maturity
is the result of a great many variable factions
-- one of which is seen in the fact that the
Natural Laws which support his physical
development, only support those areas of mind
that are supported by the needs and appetites of
the physical body-vessel -- and while man has an
innate potential of mind that few intellectual
and philosophical schools of thought can even
begin to envision -- in order to bring about
this higher development of mind which remains
totally elusive to those bound by
"natural"
organic reasoning, one must learn to invoke and
embrace the Higher Laws that supercharge one's
efforts.
What this means is that the very Natural Laws
that insure physical development, also have the
effect of not only limiting mental development
beyond the physical needs and appetites of the
physical body-vessel -- but you must overcome
the limiting factor of the very Natural Laws of
the Physical that promotes development to a
certain level of maturity, in order to begin to
develop and gain access to man's higher
potential of mind and being that is not
supported by the Natural Laws of the Earth. In
the same way that we don't have to manually
bring about the physical development of an
infant -- but rather, maintain the child within
the construct of the Laws that brings this
development about -- mental development beyond
what is supported by the physical is brought
about by the invocation of the Higher Laws
working within man's own mind and being in a
directed manner that brings about certain
changes within his consciousness. Which means
that only when these Natural Laws are properly
and intelligently invoked in a
mental-environment that is conducive to the
development of reason and intellect, is the
consciousness of man freed from its organic
limitations -- and it is this enlightened vision
and reason that causes the Theist and
questioning Atheist to mature into a Deist
perception of God and Creation -- and even this
higher perception and understanding comes in
increments that would drive this higher vision
into entry-level Alpha-Deists and matured
Omega-Deists in their levels of Enlightened
Comprehension. In the same way that a fetus does
not pop out of the womb in the form or a mature
man or woman, the process of mental development
beyond what is supported by the Natural Organic
Laws of the earth, in much the same way can only
bring about this growth and development in
incremental steps -- level upon level. And thus,
the little understood statement:
"Whom will he teach
knowledge? And whom will he make to understand
the message? Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the
breasts? For
precept must be upon precept, precept upon
precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a
little, there a little" (Isa 28:9-10
NKJ).
When the
Key of Knowledge is properly applied to
the scriptures in the manner that Jesus taught,
what is revealed to the seeker is the very Laws
and Forces of Mind and Being that acts as a
catalyst to stimulate and bring about the
objective of the
Heightening And Expansion of Mind. And this
essential Knowledge of the Laws of Creation, the
Cosmology of Mind and Being, and the Universal
Language of the Soul which the Divine Symphony
of Creation is composed in, is preserved and
protected within the allegorical accounts of the
scriptures to be revealed only to men of
rational wisdom who are sincere seekers of
Truth.

The
pattern of
mind as
portrayed in
the image of
the Tree of
Life at the
right,
demonstrates
the twelve
spheres of
mind -- and
in the
untransformed
mind of
(carnal)
organic man,
each of the
separate
spheres are
themselves
three-dimensional.
Which means
that in the
plight of
organic man
who has yet
to begin the
process of
maturity,
the best he
can do is
perceive the
outer world
from a
single point
within one
of the
spheres to
the
exclusion of
the rest.
And thus,
his vision
and
understanding
remains
incomplete
and
fractured.
This reality
is also
portrayed in
the 90th
chapter of
the
Gnostic.
But what is
the meaning
of the word
"gnosis"?
When
properly
understood,
Gnosis is
the Divine
Knowledge
that can
only be
recognized
and received
by the few
who have
awakened
from their
amnesic
state of
mind
portrayed as
the
"outer
darkness"
-- or,
who have
themselves
(mentally)
escaped the
illusions of
this world
that is
portrayed in
the analogy
of
One
of the most famous formulas is defined in the
More than
anything else, this formula was a stepping stone
-- with pre-formula physics being very different
than the advances made post-formula.
Therefore, the formula itself is representative
of an equation that is necessary to overcome a
certain natural barrier. If the formula is missing or not understood,
then a necessary ingredient creates a void that
undermines and effects the whole.
But even more important is the fact that this
formula embodies the portrayal of a number of
Natural Laws that invoke a predictable outcome
and response. But even more
important is the fact that the result of the
harnessing of the atom is not something that is
a natural occurrence in the earth such as the
power of lightening -- and while nuclear fission
is a natural occurrence with respect to the
power of the sun and the stars, it is not a
process of nature that is a natural expression
of nature on the earth's surface.
Therefore, to harness the atom in a useful and
predetermined manner on the earth's surface, one
must possess the necessary knowledge to invoke
the Natural Laws which will orchestrate and
bring about this atomic reaction.
Even more difficult than nuclear fusion is
nuclear fission -- i.e., a sustained and
controllable source of fusion power, a fusion
reactor, is considerably harder to achieve. The
goal, however, is being pursued vigorously in
many countries around the world because many
look to the fusion reactor as the power source
of the future, at least as far as the generation
of electricity is concerned. The scheme for
fusion on the sun is not suitable for an
Earth-bound fusion reactor because the scheme is
hopelessly slow. The reaction succeeds in the
sun only because of the enormous density of
protons in the center of the sun.
