600 Series
Shalom Sid:
What you are asking is not an easy thing -- because it is an attempt to
explain God in the words and concepts of man. And to do this requires the
hearer to have a firm grip not only on the paradoxical nature of opposites,
but also levels and dimensions of being and consciousness. But I will do
my best to answer your question. Moreover, the best I can do in the words
of man is provide a basic outline that must be used as a model and grown and
evolved within self.
Each level of being brings forth from within itself the next levels -- and
that is why it is said that there is only the One in which we all dwell.
So if there is the One, then why don't we know ourselves as the One -- and
how did the many come into existence? Also, does our knowing that there is
the One, eliminate the many? These are difficult questions for man to
answer, because they not only require him to embrace the paradoxical reality
that both positions are true, even though they appear to conflict, but they
require the development of the embryonic essence of soul-self into a state
of maturity.
If, at the very core of our Being, there is the One, then from within the
one we see the Dynamic forces of Male/Female which are often referred to as
Father/Mother God immerge. But in this divided reality where each is
imbued with the Divine DNA of the original One, each has their own will and
consciousness that is separate and apart from the other. But in moving
out into the next level of Creation and manifesting this divided state, the
two can no longer know the One while they exist in this state of duality.
Why? Because, in the division of the two, while something was gained in
the ability to interact from opposite polarities, the Knowledge of the One
can only exist when the division is overcome. And we can observe this same
reality in a marriage between a man and woman -- neither ceases to exist
independently from the other on a physical plane, and yet, there is a third
force present that can be said to be the measure of the union of the two.
Moreover, even that third force is imbued with the Divine Pattern because in
the Alpha of the relationship, it lacks experiential substance -- because no
experiences have taken place. So it is the dark void of Creation. But as
the two seek to know, this process of knowing can only be founded in the
third force which is the product of the two -- and it is the third force
that evolves as it brings the two back into dynamic harmony in search of
knowledge -- which is ultimately found in the One.
Because all things exist within the Divine Pattern and are imbued with the
DNA of the One, what we find is that Active Principle which we call
Father-God, possessing the Divine Pattern within Self, and we see the same
Replication taking place within both Father/Mother God as they move out into
the next level of being. So at this level of being, Father-God is actually
three -- and this three forms the heavenly triad. Mother-God, which is the
opposite polarity, is also imbued with the replicated Divine Pattern, and
becomes the earthly triad. The original Third Force which is the balance,
while maintaining this balance within the center of the two, must be
understood within the Divine Pattern within itself as existing across the
spectrum of what we call time. It being the Mind of God, is the Third
Force that evolves Creation from the dark void of absolute unknowing, to the
evolved state of Absolute Knowing and Light.
Taking Father God separate and apart from Mother God for a moment, because
Father God is imbued with the DNA of Creation and has the Divine Pattern
within Self, at another level of being there is the heavenly duality that as
with all dualistic forces, is actually three because of the balance -- and
since the third force is that of mind, once again we see it subject to
evolution over what we call time. Now you also must understand that
because each of these heavenly dualistic polarities are imbued with the
DNA of the ONE, they each have their own will and reality separate and apart
from the other, and the balance between the two is that of the Heavenly
Mind. At this level of being, the Father can only be known through the
oneness of the two, and this can only be accomplished in the third force.
Which means that while the heavenly three originally emerged from the
reality of Father-God, none of the three is Father-God. Yet, with the
evolution of the third force over that equation of time, the duality can be
erased in the third force which would then restore the knowledge of the
Unity found in Father-God. So in the parable of the prodigal son, we see
the elder son which retains the active heavenly principle, the younger son
while being feminine in relation to the active principle, is portrayed as
male because it is active from the perspective of an opposite polarity --
and this is the same reality that portrays all twelve disciples as male --
and yet, on another level, some of them are female in relation to the
opposite polarity on the opposing column. And especially in scripture,
this is another one of those confusing paradoxes that most people can't deal
with. Its like this: Within the feminine sphere, the feminine being imbued
with the DNA of the ONE, is also an active force/principle, and is only
purely feminine in relation to the opposite polarity. And this is why man
must be a fit bride or the Bridegroom -- because while the male in this
world is male in relation to the female in this world, they are both female
in relation to their inner spiritual nature. So the male in this world is
an active-feminine reality, and the female in this world is a reflective or
passive female reality. Which also means that all that we said in the
above about Father-God moving out into the next level of Creation by virtue
of the division within self, the same is true of the triad that is formed
out of Mother-God which is the powers of the earth.
Because time is a dimension of mind -- and the way that we perceive it, it
is an illusion in that all things remain. God the Source which is the ONE,
does not disappear because at a lower level of Creation we have
Mother/Father God and the balance with is the Logos/Son of God -- with the
Son and Daughter within the Logos being represented across that dimension we
call Time. And if we call the ONE the Ancient of Days because that aspect
of God has no discernable beginning -- we cannot call Father/Mother God the
Ancient of Days because in their divided reality -- each having a Will of
their own because in the DNA replication, each has the same qualities as the
Whole -- but because of the division of polarities, neither can know the
Source except through the evolution of the Third Force which makes the Two
One at a state of Maturity in the Omega. And in the same way, while the
heavenly triad sprang forth from the Father, because of the duality and the
individualized wills, none of the three can be said to be the Father, just
as none of the earthly triad can be said to be the Mother. And because, as
the Original Third Force is moved out into the next lower level of
Creation -- and can only manifest the balance of the heavenly triad in
relation to the earthly triad -- and is therefore subject to the dimension
of time as portrayed within the Alpha and Omega, that center which in a
linear perspective is the fourth kingdom, is the product of the forces of
heaven and earth.
What causes growth and development is the interaction of the male/female
forces which causes the third-force balance to evolve. The problem is that
while linear is true on one paradoxical level, its opposite is true on
another level. This can be seen in the fact that while we are subject to
time, on another level time is merely a dimension of consciousness and is an
illusion. In much the same way, on one level of Creation there is Absolute
Oneness -- but on another level there is division. And while from one
perspective, there is nothing but God, because of the divided reality, we
cannot call each individual piece God. It is also important to understand
that in the same way that we can look at an octave from a linear perspective
-- and the same is true when we see light through a prism, we can detect
that the One is made up of the seven (colors), and each of those colors
possess an individuality of its own -- and in the same way that the One
cannot exist apart from the seven, neither can the seven exist apart from
the One. Moreover, on another level, our linear perception of the seven
notes to an octave, or the seven colors of light or the rainbow, is an
illusion because of the three heavenly powers that are on one level separate
and distinct from the three earthly powers -- along with the inclusion of
the center third-force that is itself subject to the Alpha and Omega
realities of time in order to understand the threefold reality of the
third-force of the fourth kingdom. So linear perception can only supply
us a very limited view, because on another level reality cannot be seen as
linear. And on another level, the parable of the prodigal son can be
portrayed as the heavenly triad manifest in the elder son, the earthly triad
manifest as the younger son who is under the power of this world (the far
country) -- with the state of mind and being balance in the fourth kingdom
of man which is of both heaven and earth. But we must also remember that
Creation did not stop at this lofty level, but continued to create the
lesser realities as the six became the twelve (with the projected reality of
the seven making the fourteen) -- and this division within divided realities
as it moves out into the lower realms of nature, is what brought all of
Creation into being. Each level is ignorant of the level just preceding
it, because of the divided reality that each level of Creation is imbued
with. And each subsequent level can only know itself, and it's source of
being, through the third force that over the evolution of the alpha and
omega, has the power to restore oneness.
Going back to the heavenly triad: In the beginning of the Alpha, the great
void existed because of the lack of experiential knowledge. In striving to
Know Self, without the Light of experiential knowledge, the primal
intelligence moved into the lower realms of Creation as described in the
above by virtue of division within Self, and because each lower level of
Creation has a will of its own, the primal

consciousness
became lost in the quagmire of divided realities which are often portrayed
as the Fall of Man. But if we embrace the mindset of most counterfeit
religious authorities who attempt to place blame and find fault, there is no
fault and there is no blame -- i.e., all the divided realties came into
being out of necessity, and because they were supposed to in order for God
to know Self. Moreover, while it can be said that on one level all
religious teachings and concepts are true with respect to their own
fragmented reality, on another level they are false because of the
paradoxical nature of reality and the fact that all mind is expressed
through the twelve spheres of the Tree of Life which has the power to
harmonize the other realities when in balance. So in the heavenly triad we
have the duality of the male/female opposites which is expressed in the
third force. The elder son is the top most chakra, the younger son with is
a feminine reflection of the elder is in the diagram at the right the one in
the lower head. And the balance or product of the two is the soul-self --
the Light of which is observed by those who meditate on the third eye.
And here is the true quagmire -- i.e., the size and intensity of the Light
of the soul, is directly proportionate to the marriage or substance of the
relationship between the duality of the fifth and seventh chakras -- which
is directly related and in proportion to the larger divided reality of
heaven -- and the three lower chakras (red, orange and yellow) are in fact
foundational to the three heavenly chakras in the head -- which means that
linear reality cannot be used here -- and it also means that our
lower selves became lost in the earthly natures in what is portrayed as the
original fall of man. Now, the green heart chakra is that of the fourth
kingdom of man -- and is a purely transient kingdom that is subject to the
cycles of life over that dimension that we call time. But we also must
remember that the fourth kingdom is also an outer expression of the original
Logos moved out into a lesser reality. So it maintains its connection to
what we call the Logos -- especially when the third-force soul reality and
the third-force of the earthly triad are all brought into Absolute
Oneness. So while each of the kingdoms and heaven/earth dualities on one
level are separate like the colors of light when projected through a prism,
all evolution is dependent upon the merger and harmony of the Third Force
that is divided across the spectrum of heaven and earth, and also in the
ever evolving center of the heart chakra which is the true transient the has
the power to bring the All into the ONE.
Since the Earth is really a reflected reality of the Heavenly, the amount of
Light of the soul-self that we perceive in the Being of Light in the Near
Death Experience, is directly proportionate to the totality of the merger of
heaven and earth in the reality of the Whole. And this is why Gurdjieff
pointed out the futility of the Eastern way of the yogi who attempts to deny
and suppress the lower centers so he can become intoxicated by the Light of
the soul in the third eye. And in many ways, the yogi is the opposite of
those in the carnal who are intoxicated with the energy and vital life-force
in the sex and emotional centers of the lower nature. And those addicted
to the sex center in the lower nature, are as subdued and disillusioned as
those who are intoxicated with what I portray as the head-sex of the yogi,
when reality can only be found in the balance of heaven and earth -- and the
evolution of the Son of Man in the heart chakra. Which means that while
the yogi can see the Light of the Father-God through the reality of the
soul-self, he can neither become the soul-self without the inclusion and
balance of the lower nature, and neither can he accomplish what Yeshua did
by bringing heaven and earth together into the center, and evolving the Son
of Man into the Logos/Son of God.
The way of the East is a very safe means of soul evolution. It is
accomplished over the course of a great number of lifetimes, and by never
engaging in sex or activating the lower emotional centers, the yogi slowly
grows himself by interacting and helping his disciples. The yogi therefore
grows himself by interacting with the fallen natures of his disciples. And
this is why Gurdjieff stated that after the yogi achieves activating the
third eye and can see the Light, he is powerless to become the Light or even
truly know God, because that requires the balance of heaven and earth and
the evolution of the Center. Thus, Gurdjieff stated:
"The third way is the way of the yogi. This is the way of knowledge, the way
of mind. The way of the yogi consists in working on the third room and in
striving to enter the fourth room by means of knowledge. The yogi reaches
the fourth room by developing his mind, but his body and emotions remain
undeveloped and, like the fakir and the monk, he is unable to make use of
the results of his attainment. He knows everything but can do nothing. In
order to begin to do he must gain the mastery over his body and emotions,
that is, over the first and second rooms. To do this he must again set to
work and again obtain results by means of prolonged efforts."
The yogi, who is intoxicated by the head-sex and Light of the third eye,
cannot become the soul-self, because of his lack of balance. In his
intoxicated state, he proclaims his union with God. And while this is the
Light that is of the active principle of Father-God, he remains downstream
and cannot manifest his soul-self who IS the Being of Light, because of his
unbalanced state caused by a lack of development of the reflective
foundation of his being. And this is fundamentally why the people of the
New Age are totally lacking any worthwhile knowledge of our true self --
i.e., our soul-self that is the Being of Light in the Near Death Experience
-- which means that he vast majority of the people of the New Age are as
lost as their Christian brothers and sisters. And in many respects, the
two groups are opposite sides of the same coin. Christians believe they
are saved by Grace, and to even suggest that you have to accomplish
something with your life, is interpreted by them as a denial of Christ
and the blood of the lamb. This is why they condemned what they called
the Judaizers, because they continued to embrace the Law. In a response on
another forum we can see this same mindset in the New Age self-denial
mindset where the words are expressed:
The way of self-determination is
not God's Way. "Consider this, from an advanced an uncompromising teacher of
the Way of Freedom: "The serious student of The Way of Freedom comes
to understand how self-reliance and self-effort only serve to further
strengthen the state, stuff, and ways of individuality. That understanding
deepens, and becomes more subtle and pervasive, over the years along The
Way. The state, stuff, and ways of individuality are that which prevents the
True Realization and Incarnation of God, and self-reliance and self-effort
are part of the life of individuality. To engage self-reliance and
self-effort, including in one's quest for God-Realization, shuts-out the
very God one seeks to Realize." Sri Dava Prakasha
Once understood, this rhetoric is parallel to that which is preached in the
Christian Churches -- and in the same way that there is no point in posting
on a Christian forum because of the prevailing doctrinalized ignorance, what
we see in the words of this yogi is parallel to that doctrinalized
ignorance. Moreover, there are many Evangelical Christians who feel the
Spirit moving them -- even entering into a frenzy much like the intoxication
of the New Age head-sex. Each condemns works and striving for higher
reality as a denial of God's free gift to the believers. Yet, while they
get intoxicated from the flow of vital life-force, neither group can
manifest God in their lives because they have yet to even begin to overcome
the many levels of their own divided natures. And both are ignorant of
their soul-self which they cannot manifest, because of their lack of balance
and development of their lower natures which must serve as a foundation for
the higher natures in the manner of the portrayal of the Star of David.
A soul such as Yogananda has followed the Eastern path for eons. He hasn't
had sex or indulged his lower nature over the course of countless lifetimes
-- and perhaps never. He enters with his teacher/guru, and his disciples
enter with him, and it is a very controlled environmental path. And like
the way of the monk, the way of the yogi can only work in an ashram
environment -- i.e., as said of why Gurdjieff left the Eastern path:
Gurdjieff's work evolved into the "Fourth Way," which
is a method of achieving inner perfection in ordinary life, rather than
withdrawing from the world as do the yogi, fakir, and monks. The goal of
Fourth Way practitioners is an accelerated transformation, returning to pure
essence.
The yogis dwell in the Light of the Father as expressed through the
soul-self -- but they cannot become their soul-self because of their own
unbalanced path. Neither can God jump over the many lesser levels of
Creation -- levels that are divided by Mother/Father God, heaven and earth,
and the twelve spheres of mind as expressed through the Tree of Life -- and
manifest in them in the manner that God Manifested in Yeshua -- and even the
disciples of Yeshua. Moreover, there is another important consideration in
this equation -- i.e., because of their path of denial and negation, they
exist as lights in the world through the cosmic balance of those who exist
at the opposite polarity of the spectrum, and are the embodiment of
darkness. And this is why Gurdjieff stated that they not only have no
power to make change, but they must never invoke karma or engage in the
physical. They cannot be confrontational with the forces of darkness,
because their polarity of light is dependent upon the opposite polarity of
darkness in the world. They are lights to the world, because their
opposites on the cosmic spectrum of balance are the forces of darkness.
In TheWay as manifested in the teachings of Yeshua, the lower nature is
evolved and manifest as a foundation for the heavenly -- resulting in the
ability to directly evolve the center from the Alpha to the Omega. The
disciple of TheWay is not a light to others because of the embodiment of the
opposite polarity among other people. The Disciples of TheWay are Lights,
because of the balance of heaven and earth within them that enables them to
first manifest their soul-self -- evolve that soul-self within the proper
foundation -- and bring the soul-self to a state of evolved Completion where
the Logos can Manifest -- and in the Manifestation of the
Logos, Mother/Father God can be brought together and Absolute Oneness can be
achieved with the Essene of God which we call the Ancient of Days -- or in
the Gospel of the Nazirenes, the All-Parent where division of Male/Female
and Heaven/Earth does not exist. Because the Disciple of TheWay is
Complete within himself, he can confront the forces of evil and even Satan
itself, and prevail. There is no negative karma that would cause
the Disciple of TheWay to fall like it would the powerless yogi, because the
Disciple is Complete within self and not dependent upon maintaining balance
with he opposite polarity in the manner of the yogi who only develops the
upper centers at the expense and negation of the lower.
Does this answer your question? I realize the need to make diagrams
demonstrating the flow from level to level within and without of Creation.

Shabbat Shalom Brother Allan:
From the below discussion it seems that you have described
a scheme like this:
Seven_Kindoms
7 Elder Son - Indwelling
Spirit
6 Soul - Your Likeness - Being of Light - Child of the Prodigal Son & Elder
Son
5 Prodigal Son
4 Man - the Harmonizer - Embryonic Soul Images spread across many lifetimes
3 Animal - Feminine Reflection
2 Vegetable - Feminine Reflection
1 Mineral - Feminine Reflection
Would you explain where God the Father is in this scheme?
How do the masculine Fifth and Seventh kingdoms yield the Sixth
Kingdom as a Child?
What is the Animal a reflection of?
What is the Vegetable a reflection of?
What is the Mineral a reflection of?
I'm trying to set terminology in the least ambiguous state.
Thanks in advance,

601 Part II
Shalom Disciples:
Upon awakening -- though most of you are still sleeping -- I saw very
clearly the next step in what I wrote yesterday morning. And that next
step is to dispell the next religious absurdity -- i.e., that duality and
division is bad. Dawn posted an excerpt out of The Fourth Way which showed
that the Law of Three which once understood, is the foundation for the Law
of Octaves or Seven -- is the Foundation for all that exists. And when I
moved the excerpt of the Law of Three onto this forum, I retitled it The
Divine Pattern. And the Divine Pattern cannot be truly comprehended until
you go beyond Pythagoras and Gurdjieff who presented the Law of Three, and
understand it from the perspective of the Hebrew Numerical equivalent of
David -- or the House of David which from the perspective of the Hebrew
Mystics, can be said to be the Whole Purpose of Life. And this is why
Yeshua was said to be of the House of David. And this is why the Hebrew
Mystics -- many of whom were at a more greatly advanced stage than any of
the others including Pythagoras who I view with admiration -- were a step
beyond any of the others whether they were from the East or the West.
Where Gurdjieff attempted to create the science/philosophy of living in the
NOW -- which he was a true master of -- and while I understand the reality
that everything is founded upon the Law of Three -- the reality of Four and
the House of David is what adds the finishing touches to the Law of Three --
which is why the Hebrews were not limited to the Trinity of the Gentiles.
And that Fourth Dimension is the presence of the Alpha and Omega working
upon the Third Force which because of the Law of Tree acting upon the Third
Force or Logos, creates the evolutionary presence of Time -- with the Fourth
Dimension of the House of David portraying the movement from the ignorance
and dark void of the Alpha, to the Enlightened Completion of the Omega.
Any attempt to read the below without first fully understanding part One
which can be found in the Library at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/ , will be a futile
effort. Also, for the record, I am not a student of either Pythagoras,
Gurdjieff or Quantum Physics -- but I understand them because of direct
contact with my own soul/higher self who not only possess the knowledge of
all that I have been in my countless lives since the dawn of time -- but
sees and understands all things in this and other worlds. And I write this
not from an ego perspective -- or the attachment to the past as some might
think -- but rather, to make the reader aware of the pitfalls of attempting
to read all these works of brilliant minds and masters which would consume
the lives of the most intelligent people, which study if it were possible
would not bring about the same results as the Mystical Path that I have
walked in order to understand where and how the fragmentary knowledge of the
great minds and masters fit into the Larger Picture of Higher Reality.
And this comparison can be understood between the difference between
Ouspensky who was a great mind, and Gurdjieff who was a Mystic. Further,
on a theoretical level, the soul/higher self of everyone reading what I
write already possess the Knowledge and Wisdom of the Ages -- and if each of
you were ONE with your own soul/higher self who is the Being of Light in the
NDE (see
http://BeingOfLight.com ), you would each know infinitely more than all
the teachers and professors in all the universities in the world today.
And to demonstrate this fact, there is nothing that I can write that I can't
converse with to my wife -- and she has never read any of the great minds
and masters -- and because of her feminine mindset, would be incapable of
accumulating this knowledge in the linear fashion of the male mindset. And
while to a degree, I can read and perceive what the great minds and masters
are speaking of, neither would I be able to function any more in the linear
manner of most intelligent male minds. Once the Intuitive is fully
developed and matured as in the case of my wife, attempting to read these
great minds and masters in a linear perspective would be a giant step down
-- because she can draw upon the Wisdom and Knowledge of her own soul/higher
self -- and because we have been soul-seekers for eons, she can also draw
upon the Wisdom and Knowledge of my own soul/higher self. And while as a
male I can straddle both worlds that she cannot -- I can fully comprehend
why the teachings of TheWay proclaim very loudly that the wisdom of this
world is foolishness, and if you go to teachers and gurus, you are embracing
the path of ignorance -- semi-enlightened ignorance at best.
Reality is in developing the inner connection to your own soul/higher self
who is in a position to perceive what the great minds and masters of this
world cannot. And with true Mystics such as Gurdjieff, St. Francis, St
Teresa, and others, there was no means for them to even begin to express
their Knowledge and Wisdom in the words of men, to minds that were totally
incapable of comprehending what they perceived and understood. And this
inability to comprehend is because few people truly understand the realities
of the Law of Three or Divine Pattern of Creation. If you want to
understand the science of mind, and the wisdom of great minds such as
Pythagoras, then Gurdjieff is the key. But only a handful of people can
even begin to comprehend Gurdjieff because they lack even higher wisdom of
the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay of which Pythagoras and Gurdjieff would
be seen as elementary. And it isn't that either Pythagoras or Gurdjieff
were elementary -- just the opposite is truth -- but rather, what they were
able to express in the words of man and discernable from a linear
perspective, is elementary. And this was expressed by the Church Father
Origen in his defense against the attack by Celus in the allegation that the
2nd century Church was a secret system:
�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�.
When Gurdjieff stated that all religious paths were corrupted and basically
useless, he was knowingly comparing these religious paths from the
perspective of their original spiritual source, to the degenerative reality
of when true spiritual wisdom is placed in the hands of those who attempt to
interpret the spiritual source. In the same way that the Christian world
is immersed in the abyss of ignorance when compaired to someone such as
Origen, and the neo-Gnostics today dwell in the abyss of ignorance when
compared to someone such as Valentinus, the same is true with respect to the
present day yogis, gurus and teachers of the East in relation to their own
spiritual sources. Converting from Christianity to the New Age does not
increase the useable potential of mind of a person -- but rather, it is just
the adoption of new rhetoric that provides the people with the illusion of
enlightenment -- as well as a switch from Christian Billy Graham's, to an
Eastern variety of Billy Graham's. And this, in like manner, is true of
the relationship of the present-day Mormons who are spiritually
disenfranchised when compared to Joseph Smith, and the present-day Muslims
in comparison to Mohammed. Yet, if the yogis, Mormons, Christians,
Muslims, and neo-Gnostics would all walk the mystical path of the source of
their respective religions, their ignorance would be overcome and they would
walk with the wisdom of their Source. But all these religious paths become
corrupted, as soon as people such as Paul attempt to convey what cannot be
embraced by the carnal mind or expressed in the words of man, in a manner
that the masses will understand -- and then these spiritually
disenfranchised doctrines become institutionalized by the priests and
would-be teachers of this world, and each religious path then experiences
the proverbial fall out of the Edenic Kingdom of Light and Knowing.
It is important to make note of Gurdjieff's position as presented by
Ouspensky in the book, In Search of the Miraculous, that Gurdjieff makes the
statement that while in man, nature takes care of the lower octaves which
raises him above the intelligence and being of the lower (animal) worlds, he
talks about the need for various foods for the mind -- and makes the
statement that the vast majority of people will never even guess the nature
of the "impressions" that is crucial in
straightening out the last of the sequence of octaves within the
body-mind. And for the most part, visiting most Fourth Way forums is a
waist of time because the disciples of Gurdjieff and what is considered
esoteric psychology are for the most part clueless as to what this final
food for the mind is. And when I one time attempted to convey to them what
Gurdjieff was speaking of, I was as quickly dismissed from that forum, as I
was when I told a Kabbalah forum that the Torah and scriptures is in fact
nothing more than a mystical marriage manual. And this reality goes to the
very heart and essence of true spiritual alchemy and the transmutation of
the lower nature and the transformation of the three kingdoms of the earth
to become the true foundation of the three kingdoms of the heavenly, and
evolve the center fourth kingdom (House of David) in order to prepare the
Son of Man to become the BrideGroom of the Indwelling Logos. The secret is
in the last saying of the Gospel of Thomas: 114 Simon Peter
said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life." Jesus
said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a
living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male
will enter the kingdom of Heaven."
It is all in the Law of Three of the Divine Pattern -- and the need to bring
the pattern of Adam and Eve back into the Oneness of Adam/Eve which can ONLY
be accomplished through the evolution of the Third Force from the Alpha to
the Omega. And in the same way that every person entered this world
through the interaction of the male (active first cause) and the female
(reflective), the next stage of soul-birth must be brought about through
this same interaction of male/female that causes the
"impressions" which act as higher food for the mind to
initiate the Spiritual Alchemy of transmutation and transformation within
self. And this is why the disciples of Gurdjieff had to be married, as
must the students of True Kabbalah when taught by a true Mystic. And this
is also why the Eastern way of the yogi and guru is as limited as a same sex
couple attempting to have a child. It is the Dynamics on a Wholistic Level
of the interaction of the male and female that provides the crucial
"impressions" necessary to evolve the mind and bring about
the next stage of soul-birth. Without the feminine polarity -- whether
physically, mentally or spiritually -- the religious or philosophical path
is doomed to failure by virtue of the inherent limitations. In the same
way that the Third Force child cannot be conceived or born through either
masturbation or a same sex relationship where the active dynamics of the
first two polarities of the Law of Three are not present, neither can the
mind evolve or the spirit manifest apart from the Divine Pattern. And
while the male does retain the original pattern of "XY" genetics, the path
of denial as practiced by the monk and the yogi is a very long and slow path
that has little in common with the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay. And
this is why the disciples of Gurdjieff were married, and the students of
Kabbalah had to be married, a certain age, and living a Torah
Observant Lifestyle. And when I say that the dynamics of male/female must
be Wholistic, even the necessay observation of self as presented in the post
of The Fourth Way by Dawn, was from the perspective of the Law of Three in
order to initiate the development of higher awareness which gives birth to
higher consciousness. And because the necessary ingredients are missing
from the equation, the manner in which we teach children today in an
institutional learning environment does more to not only slam the door to
higher consciousness and reality, but to drive them into the negative
realities of mind which is paramount in the violence and depravity in the
world today. The differences and powers of the male and female must be
cultivated and evolved, in order to bring forth the Key of Knowledge that
opens the Inner Door to Higher Soul Reality. The Muslims who bind their
women in burkas and restrict their development are an example of the
imbalance of the Divine Pattern, as is our present-day Feminist culture
where through political correctness the powers of the feminine have been
thrown in the gutter and negated as we attempt to make young girls into
surrogate men
We are now ready to address the original theme of this post with respect to
the continuation of Part I
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/600 ) -- which
must be a milestone in and of itself because it is message number 600
(harmony of heaven and earth) in the Library (can't wait to see what number
700 is). In the same way that in the out-pouring of the Force of Creation
which brings about the inner realities of division which forms the six (6)
(spiritual centers) which is really seven, and these become the twelve
(spheres of mind) which is really fourteen when the Powers of the Left and
Right are added in the Tree of Life, this process of levels of Creation
giving birth to lower levels through the division within itself -- a process
which brings about the lower level of human consciousness at 144,000 and the
lower animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms beneath that, are all necessary
for the Alpha to evolve into the Omega of Utopia on a Truly Grand Scale.
Anyone who has heard the often incoherent ramblings of our sister Louise, or
the ignorance of the neo-Gnostic call group, or the disenfranchised refuges
from the New Age or Eastern path -- who come here to champion their absolute
ignorance when they converge to attack the important concepts and teachings
of Yeshua and TheWay -- with their rhetoric that
duality is the
cause of all evil and ignorance -- provides us great insight into
why Gurdjieff stated that all religious paths are corrupted and spiritually
disenfranchised. In the Alpha there was the One Thought -- and since this
One Thought lacked experiential knowledge, it can be thought of as an
Amoeba. And in the same way that the body of a fetus is formed not by
the duplication of cells -- but rather, the division of cells as described
in Part I -- and all that came into being as the result of the Law of Three
acting upon each level of Creation which brings forth the next lower level
-- without the duality of division, the Mind of God would be as an Amoeba --
i.e., the abyss of ignorance in the great void of the Alpha. So when
these spiritually disenfranchised, doctrinally challenged, religious
groups/people come here telling us that the problem is duality, what they
are in effect proclaiming is that they are the embodiment of ignorance.
And if my lack of (New Age/Thought) political correctness offends anyone
here, don't let the door hit you on the way out. If you fail to confront
this ignorance NOW, it will consume your life and make you wish you had
confronted it when you arrive in the hereafter. At which time you
will blame me for not being forceful enough in my conveyance of this
reality.
What people describe as the allegory of the fall of man, can be compared to
the necessary division of the cells in accord with the Law of Three (Divine
Pattern) in order to provide the necessary body-environment to evolve from
an Amoeba in the Alpha, to a God-Man such as the historical
Yeshua. Without the division/duality and the Fall from Eden, ignorance and
darkness would prevail. And while it is true that each subsequent level
of Creation brought forth new dimensions of division that added new depth to
the proverbial ignorance of the Alpha, it is also true that without
this multitude of divided realities, the Omega of Absolute Knowing and Light
could not come about. So while it is true that the undivided Adam/Eve had
the potential to bring forth the Third Force, this could not be accomplished
until there was the separation of Duality that permitted the Third Force to
be conceived -- and the process of evolution from the Alpha to the Omega of
Perfection and Completion begun. So Duality
is not only Necessary -- it is Good!!! Which means from
the perspective of Louise and the refugees from the New Age, this
declaration makes me a heretic.
The State of Enlightened Knowing is not One Thought from the perspective of
the Amoeba -- but rather, the Diversity of a Great Many Fragments of Thought
all merged together in Absolute Oneness. And in the same way that the
physical body of a fetus must be initially formed in the womb of darkness
before it can be brought forth into the next stage of physical birth
that initiates the next stage of development, All of Creation was brought
forth in this same manner. So do we blame the primal fertilized egg for
splitting within itself and creating division? This is how appallingly
ignorant the refuges from the New Age who come here to condemn this forum
are. And this is how ignorant people such as Louise is when they blame man
for the proverbial fall. Is the parents of a new-born angry that their
sperm and egg went through countless staged of division in order to bring
forth the body of a fetus? And are they angry at the new-born child for
existing in a state of ignorance? As the All-Parent, God fully recognizes
that the vessel that will eventually bring forth the Child of Truth and
Light must be formed in the void (womb) of darkness -- and from this vessel
that was created by the massive process of division, True Knowing and
Enlightenment will Evolve as the Laws bring about the Destiny of the Alpha
and Omega. So to portray God as angry of what was instituted by the Laws
and DNA of Creator-God -- as is championed by those who come here to condemn
the Wisdom and Knowledge of TheWay -- is pure ignorance on their part.
Without the division and the formation of the glands (spiritual centers) and
organs (spheres of the Tree of Life) in the body of the fetus, the highest
expression of Intelligent Life with the potential to be a God-Man could not
exist!!! And in the same way that the body of the fetus was formed
through the division of the Initial One Cell that brought forth the
necessary multitude of diversity (primal division) that provided the
necessary environment for the Highest Expression of God and Godliness to
Evolve, so too will the Laws eventually evolve the All to the Omega of
Completion -- i.e., quoting the web site
http://BeingOfLight.com :
In the words of the
Church Father Origen, the resurrection 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�.
When Jesus warned that: �Whoever does not
carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple�
(Luke 14:27 NAS); the overcoming of the flesh and the lower nature, which is
represented in the resurrection, is the resurrection spoken of by St.
Gregory�s when he wrote, �the Resurrection
is no other thing than �the re-constitution of our nature in its original
form��. And this higher spiritual reality
-- which is our true spiritual reality as the prodigal sons and daughters of
the Most High -- is the reality that is beyond carnal human comprehension --
and thus, can only be presented to entry-level seekers as the
"milk" of the gospel
that was intended to nourish "babes in
Christ".
In the re-constitution of our nature in our original form, we will bring the
massive diversity (division) of self into One -- and while we will be as the
proverbial amoeba in our Oneness, this Oneness will be the result of the
Absolute Harmony of Division. Moreover, the ignorance of the New Age
refugees who come here -- or the ignorance of the yogi that I presented in
yesterdays post -- i.e., quoting the yogi:
The way of self-determination is not God's
Way. "Consider this, from an advanced an uncompromising teacher of the
Way of Freedom: "The serious student of The Way of Freedom comes
to understand how self-reliance and self-effort only serve to further
strengthen the state, stuff, and ways of individuality. That understanding
deepens, and becomes more subtle and pervasive, over the years along The
Way. The state, stuff, and ways of individuality are that which prevents the
True Realization and Incarnation of God, and self-reliance and self-effort
are part of the life of individuality. To engage self-reliance and
self-effort, including in one's quest for God-Realization, shuts-out the
very God one seeks to Realize." Sri Dava Prakasha -- --
will be seen as the embodiment of ignorance in that the God of the Omega
will be Comprised of Fully Evolved and Matured Souls who have become as the
historical Yeshua who was Complete, Balanced, and Whole in all of SELF.
God is Evolved from the Primal Alpha, as we who are part of the Whole are
ourselves evolved and moved from the Alpha of Ignorance to the Omega of
Knowing through Wholeness.
Our friend sister Judy proclaims that the world is overflowing with truth --
and she is correct so long as you recognize that these truths that Judy sees
is fragmentary pieces of the puzzle. As presented at the following link
http://nazirene.org/eden4.htm#embro-pre -- in the same way that only a
few of the countless eggs in the ovum of a woman are ever formed into a
fetus and experience physical birth -- this world is the Womb of Mother-God
-- and even fewer people are able to emerge through the birth canal of the
"narrow path" of TheWay, and bring about the next
stage of soul-birth and manifest the Being of Light while in the physical
body-vessel
(see
http://mystic.nazirene.org/fetus.htm
). And in the same way that there are no religious package deal that
permit a large multitude of a woman's eggs to be born into this world,
neither is there any group-church that will transport large bodies of the
believers to the Promised Land. Moreover, even those embryonic-people who
are fertilized by the Living Word, fall victim to the Great Abortionist of
the Left Hand who diverts them from the path through manmade religious
doctrine and dogma that while necessary for the nourishment of spiritual
infants, becomes institutionalized into the corrupted religious paths which
Gurdjieff correctly portrayed as next to useless. Does it not warn:
"We must
through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God"
(Acts 14:22 NKJ)??? The doctrines that we don't need to pick
up our own cross and walk in TheWay -- and that we are saved by belief in
the Jesus-god and the gift of Grace -- is as appallingly ignorant as the
words of Sri Dava Prakasha above. So one variety is western ignorance,
while the other variety is eastern ignorance -- regardless of the flavor,
what Gurdjieff pointed out was that the ignorance was being served by the
countless varieties of Billy Graham's of the world. And this is presented
to us in the Law of Octaves that without evolving the Third Force at the
crucial point, always twists and turns all of man's efforts back upon
itself. With the result being that even fewer embryonic-people evolve into
the next stage of birth out of the Womb of Mother-God, than fetus' are born
into this world out of the countless eggs that every woman is born with.
And when it is recognized that the next stage of soul-birth is only the
second phase, and the disciple must yet achieve the third stage as portrayed
in the genealogy of Yeshua as presented in the sequence of 14, 14 and 14
(David in the Kingdom), and the final birth as portrayed in the Crucifixion
must be achieved in the final journey of the prodigal son's return to the
Edenic Kingdom of Origination, we can only then begin to understand how the
god of this world uses religious doctrine and dogma to keep the people
shackled to this world as higher level herd-animals who feed the nature gods
and collective consciousness.
When all these people proclaim: God would not let this happen to me!!!
This is parallel to the uncountable number of eggs in a woman's ovum
proclaiming: Mother will insure that I am born into the world. Only those
that are fertilized by the Living Word, and endure the fetal-development of
walking in TheWay, and the "...many
tribulations enter the kingdom of God"!!!
The reset are as the failed images in the Gospel of Thomas
saying 84 which is well represented throughout the posts in the
NazireneLibrary

Shalom Eric:
You seem to have a grip on the illusion of this world -- an illusion that as
a living allegory, is really an allusion. Moreover, those who think they
know the truth, in the vast majority of instances, don't!!! To know the
truth one has to live the truth in the totality of one's life, and one has
to Know Thyself. And since knowing one's self is a dirty word in most
religious circles, few people possess the knowledge of the soul-self -- the
being that we truly are.
One does not have to look very far to recognize that this world is literally
immersed in a sea of confusion -- few people agreeing about anything. And
while they profess to believe in God, most people would reject the God of
someone else's beliefs. So basically, the god they believe in has been
created in their own image -- and this god is an obstacle to finding both
God and Truth. And in recognition of this fact, the intelligent mind must
recognize that if reality wasn't beyond human perception and understanding,
then there would be a prevailing view that would trump most others.
Gurdjieff stated that every time man thinks that he understands, the
collective consciousness changes the picture of the illusion, and he is once
again quickly seduced by the new allegorical image. It's like when a Jew
converts to Christianity, he fails to realize that he has just fallen victim
to a new allegorical view of the same reality that escaped his perception in
the first place. And the same is true of all the conversions that man
proclaims provides him insight into his own past blindness and failings.
Most people who consider themselves Gnostic, are not! Gnostics do not
acquire spiritual manna by reading texts of scriptures -- but rather,
through experiential gnosis received by seeking the inner Kingdom. And
since this seeking must engulf every aspect of one's life, few are able to
even begin to receive the sacred manna of the inner Kingdom.
Most people either have a very simple perception of reality that causes them
to think that differences in perspective don't really matter, or they have
the belief that they see and understand what others do not. We hear them
say: God -- or Father -- would not let that happen to me. Christians have
this view of the Bible -- i.e., God would not permit the scriptures to
become corrupted. They reason that if God permitted such a thing, then how
would people know what to believe? And therein lies the crux of the
problem -- i.e., belief is subjective to the Laws a person is born under in
conjunction with the past life development of their soul and the
philosophical, religious and environmental factors they have been exposed
to. But all belief is opinion about realities not understood, because they
are beyond normal human comprehension.
The Killer Mindset: The killer mindset is founded upon the
mindset that, since no one knows for sure, we must do the best we can and we
will find out after we pass from this life. This permits man to live what
he perceives to be a good life -- measured by maintaining the view that we
are better than the worst examples our society has to offer -- and since no
one really knows, we will pass with the group. My wife was utterly amazed
when an Evangelical preacher said that he tells Atheists to look upon Jesus
as an insurance policy -- acknowledge him as your personal Lord and Saviour,
and then you are assured that if you are wrong, you will still go to heaven
after you die. And everyone has their own variety of Umbrella doctrines
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/496 ) that shields
them from the Light of Reality. And if someone states something different
than what their umbrella doctrine states, they are immediately rejected.
But the objective of life is to seek and find the Truth -- and in order to
accomplish this, the seeker will have to wholistically live the Truth
throughout every aspect of his life. The truth is that few people are
willing to do this -- and most people have been so misled and deceived by
the umbrella doctrines of our culture, that they fail to understand that
they possess the innate ability to Learn and Know All Truths.
The reality of life that the vast majority of people reject, is found in
Plato's Cave: Plato, the Greek philosopher,
wrote a series of `Dialogues' which summarized many of the things which he
had learned from his teacher, who was the philosopher Socrates. One of the
most famous of these Dialogues is the Allegory of the Cave. In this
allegory, people are chained in a cave so that they can only see the shadows
which are cast on the walls of the cave by a fire. To these people, the
shadows represent the totality of their existence -- and it is impossible
for them to imagine a reality which consists of anything beyond the fuzzy
shadows on the wall. True Spiritual seekers of TheWay are those who were
prisoners, and escaped from the cave. The Sacred Manna or Gnosis is the
experiential knowledge they learn when they go out of the cave of this
world, and into the inner reality which is portrayed by Plato as the light
of the sun and behold true reality. Then, when they try to go back into
the cave and tell the other captives the truth, they are mocked as madmen.
This fact you can observe throughout the history of man, as well as in the
present time. We are all initially prisoners and this tangible
world that we perceive as physical reality is our cave. And while the
spiritual path of the Gnostic begins when one who was a prisoner escapes out
into the sun, this is in effect only the beginning of the journey as the
mature soul begins to amass gnosis, which is purely spiritual knowledge
gained as they ascend into the true Light of true reality. What is equally
interesting is the literal interpretation of Plato's tale: The idea
that reality could be represented completely as "shadows" on the walls.
Reality exists in another dimension beyond our vision, but we are so
hypnotized by the world of shadows, that we fail to perceive the inner
reality that is the source of everything in the life that we live.
With respect to the people who are mesmerized by the fuzzy shadows on
the wall of the cave: Because of the layer upon layer of false
personality and counterfeit assumptions of self are built upon a
soul-essence that ceased to develop in early childhood, there is
virtually very little of us that is real. This is because we were
developed in reverse of our true reality -- i.e., instead of teaching
the child to find and discover self, the child was taught to be a
citizen of this world who is associated with the physical body. There
is virtually nothing in the life of the child that teaches them that
they existed prior to their entering into this life -- and it is this
part of them that existed prior to the body that is real
-- while everything the child is taught, is from the perspective that
they have to develop to become part of the society and culture they live
in. And since this society and culture is temporal, then so too is the
people that is produces. So the question then becomes: How much of the
true self is reflected in the life of the person who is taught the ways
of this world? The answer is very little. And it is this wholesale
disenfranchisement from our true reality and self, that causes us to be
shackled in the illusion of Plato's Cave.
Death By PC: In the same way our culture hides from reality
through it own societal forms of political correctness, the religious world
has their own that shelters them from reality. Since everyone
is rhetorically attempting to negate self and the ego, it is a bad word to
suggest that we must first find self, before we can find God. The Buddha
said that there was no God -- only us -- and few people ever learn why the
Buddha said this. And what they fail to realize is that from a paradoxical
perspective, while there is a God -- God is not what most people imagine --
and it was for good reason that the Buddha made that assertion.
The Buddha was the only visionary that had the -- for a lack of any other
term -- the "balls" to tell the people the truth from the opposite
paradoxical perspective. Most visionaries were forced to tell the masses
of people what they wanted to hear and accept, while only initiating the
most faithful of disciples into the reality that the masses of people would
systematically reject. If, as the Book of Acts acknowledges, we live and
move in the Mind of God -- and as Yeshua said, we are gods -- and the
Offspring of God -- and God is Living and experiencing through us, then God
Desires us to be all that we can be. So the whole concept that God wants
us to be nothing, is another variety of political correctness gone awry.
We cannot even begin to comprehend the reality of losing one's ego, without
coming to understand the difference between our soul-self essence, and the
false personality that we have layered upon this seed essence of self.
That you see through the "all we need is love" umbrella doctrine is good.
Perhaps one of the finest portrayals of the fallacy of the love doctrine, is
seen in the fact that while both women died within the same timeframe, the
life of Princess Diana is heralded, while many are critical of a true saint
such as Mother Teresa. Why? While the one was all glitter and lacked
depth and substance, the other was steadfast in her spiritual and moral
standards, and gave of herself in a selfless manner in harmony with the
higher purposes of life. So while it is easy to love Diana -- she set no
requirements or standards -- in order to love Mother Teresa, you had to
embrace a mindset that one of the most important elements of love, is to do
what is right and proper -- that there is a higher truth that is imperative
for man to live by, regardless of the hardships and impositions upon our own
will. This is the same thing as saying that if you truly loved God, that
you would seek the Truth and mold every aspect of your life in accordance
with that Truth -- and most people are not willing to do this. They
promote the love of Diana, and criticize the love of a true saint such as
Mother Teresa.
What the unconditional love people are actually stating is that God loves
them unconditionally, regardless of how they live their lives. And
basically, the point of contention, is more often purely sexual. Our
culture has taught us that its ok to have sex with who we want, when we
want, and under any conditions that we want -- and if a pregnancy occurs,
then we must have compassion for the mother and turn a blind eye to the
murder of the unborn. The doctrine of unconditional love is often embraced
by those who are willing to suspend standards of morality and spirituality,
and define life by what is convenient. They have taken the words of Yeshua
with respect to non-judgement of others, to the level where we are not
permitted to express the wisdom: "Behold, thou art made whole:
sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14
KJV). To even make this statement requires a very steadfast perception of
right and wrong, good and evil, as it pervades the human condition. And
the moment a person acknowledges these standards of right, wrong and higher
spiritual morality, they are immediately condemned as unloving. Moreover,
this is also true of those who embrace the reality that there are
requirements and higher purpose to life that man is responsible for
fulfilling. The umbrella doctrine is that, if you love me, then you will
accept me exactly the way I am -- without making any judgements as to right
or wrong -- and without setting any requirements. This umbrella doctrine
permits people to live in any manner they choose, and anyone who questions
their behavior, is defined as unloving.

Subject: Re: [The_Way_of_the_disciple_of_the_Nazirene] Re:
Demons/Angels
Shalom
Allan,
I've been doing my best to keep up with your prolific posts these last few
days, having been at a conference in San Francisco last week. I don't know
about anyone else, but your recent posts must be getting close to milky meat
or meaty milk because they continue to evoke much for me to consider and
incorporate. I confess, I am still not as clear as I'd like to be before
sending a contribution to the forum, but I wanted to share a couple of
things that I believe are nonetheless germane, while I continue to read and
work to re-read what you have shared.
I
have been able to conceptualize the seeming paradox that we are from and in
the Mind of God and sustained as God, while also not being Anointed or
Self-Integrated, as because we have yet to develop and align our mind and
corresponding will to True Perception and its corresponding instantaneous
experience in Oneness with the Mind of God. So if we are not there, where
are we in the meanwhile? I see it as a confusion that results from being in
the World of Mirrors. Put a mirror in a birdcage and the bird really thinks
there is another bird there. Face several mirrors towards each other and
all kinds of things happen with reflections, not least of which is reversed
images and confusion about which way is left or right. What seems endless,
is really a reflection only as thick as the glass. This is true as long as
we use the mirror as our guide, rather than our own body-mind to measure
spatial and directional actuality. While being caught up in this, we fight
with the false images of others and self and ever-changing dead ends until
we surrender to God, through surrendering to His Laws and we seek after (at
the exclusion of all else) the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Until then, we
know not the true Cause of ourselves or the true solution to our sufferings
and the end to our sojourn outside of the Kingdom of our Father as the
Prodigal Sons.
A second subject you have recently referred to again is the rhetoric of "All
We Need is Love" as not taking into account the necessity of polarities to
discern false from true, to learn, or evolve, and to ultimately integrate
ourselves and develop into co-creators with God. I believe what you have
referred to as non-dualism in this context is an effort by the New Age to
promote the idea that God is only Love and we can only find God when we are
only Love by becoming some kind of vast rhetorical homogenization of all
into one emotion of Love. I have a different understanding of the idea of
non-dualism. I think of it as developing the ability to discern
the Light from the False World in this World or Mirrors through a process of
non-separation of myself from the object I am perceiving. It
is the difference between infinite patience with unrelenting commitment and
inner peace and being emotionally manipulated or becoming caught up in the
drama that sweeps people away through endless fears - both being fully
engaged states, but very different indeed. Non-dualism for me is a practice
of mental discipline that is holding an intention,
or attitude, that only Truth is real, and all Truth will be compatible to
Love, and I will be invulnerable regardless of what seemingly faces me in
the moment. I don't mean the external directly, I mean invulnerable from my
desired state of oneness with my Father in Heaven, and the World of Mirrors'
endless changes before my eyes. If someone projects anger, and I feel the
anger in my heart, I know it is my own anger that I must heal because anger
would not arise as a response in me unless it was in me as well as in them.
In that moment, I call upon the Holy Spirit to shift my perception, to heal
my mind from the belief I am threatened and to help me to return myself to
my peace. The miracle is when my anger is replaced with peace, and time and
time again, the anger in the other is also instantly changed, and I have
seemingly done nothing.

Shalom Seekers of the Light & TheWay:
In the below post to Howard which is one of the fundamental understandings
that are totally lacking in the people of the New Age and Theosophy, what we
see unfolding is the true meaning of many of the One World Order writings
that are common to mediums such as Alice Bailey. What is being in fact
channeled, is a parallel set of really poor quality scriptures that is
merely putting the Jewish and Christian theme of Heaven on earth in the
portrayal of a new One World Order and Utopia on Earth. And what they are
really speaking of is the Unity and Harmony within the seeker as they escape
what the Bible calls the "outer darkness" of a
divided consciousness that is shackled hand and food by the iniquity of a
chaotic multitude of self -- i.e.,, "And
he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding
garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind
him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few
are chosen" (Matt 22:12-14 KJV). In previous posts I have
shown the umbrella doctrines of many religious groups -- including our Swami
friend who condemned striving for spirituality -- and we can see the fallacy
of these doctrines in the reality of the man who came to the call, but
because he lacked the purity of the wedding garment, he was rejected and
cast out into the "outer darkness" of
consciousness where one is immersed in the division of the multitude of
personalities and self -- which as portrayed below, can not only be
represented by the 144,000 possible personalities on a human level, and as
seen in the esoteric teachings that were suppressed
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/433 ), the vast
majority of people are so controlled by their lower animal natures, they
their level of divided nature is below the number of 144,000. The beasts
that must be raised as spotless and sacrificed upon the altar is our own
animal/carnal natures -- i.e., the teachings of the Gospel of the Nazirenes
noted at the above post:
"For they, making
a god of their belly, sacrificed to their God the innocent creatures of the
earth, in place of the carnal nature within themselves.
And eating of
their flesh and drinking of their blood to their own destruction, corrupted
their bodies and shortened their days, even as the Gentiles who did not know
the truth, or who knowing it, have changed it into a lie."
So in abusing the animals of the earth, their own lower consciousness
remains that of a wild beast who drives them into carnal and violent
passions and acts that incur further negative karma. Moreover, because
these people are ruled over by a lower nature that has yet to be
transformed, they are very much beasts who walk in the form of men.
And this is portrayed in the Gospel of the Nazirenes in the words:
1.And after seven days again, his disciples
were within the upper room; then came Yeshua, the doors being shut, and
stood in their midst and said, "Peace be to you," and He was known to
them in the holy memorial.
2.And He said to them, "Love you one another
and all the creatures of God, Yet I say to you,
not all are men, who are in the form of man. Are they men or
women in the image of God whose ways of violence, of oppression and
wrong, who choose a lie rather than the truth?"
3."No, truly, till they are born again, and
receive the spirit of love and wisdom within their hearts. Then only are
they sons and daughters of Israel, and being of Israel they are children
of God, And for this cause came I into the world, and for this I have
suffered at the hands of sinners."
In the philosophy of our culture and the ignorance of our society today,
we are in fact driving the minds of our children into the depths of
their lower animal nature. In the same way that during the time of the
Black Plague many fell victim to the ignorance of man, so too in this
time when the disease of the mind is prevalent, great numbers are
falling victim to the ignorance of our culture which is literally
killing and denying Life to our children.
.
The scriptures are correct in the many warnings that natural man is
incapable of perceiving or comprehending his own higher (and lower)
reality. And while they may used a different variety of rhetoric, the
necessary spiritual transformation does not take place merely because they
leave the traditional religions and embrace Theosophy, the New Age, New
Thought or Hinduism/Buddhism proper. And with the change in rhetoric, they
merely undergo the illusion of change or transformation which Gurdjieff
warns is the work of the collective consciousness of this world to keep them
enslaved -- i.e., "...Bind him hand and foot, and take him away,
and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen". And in the
same way that the leaders among the Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus
don't understand their scriptures, neither do the Theosophists, New Age and
New Thought believers understand the inner meaning of mind and spirit in
their own channeled semi-scriptural writings. And the Utopian One World
Order that mediums such as Alice Bailey write about, is in reality the
transformation of self as the beasts of the lower animal nature are
transmuted into unblemished lambs, the multitude (144,000) personalities are
brought into abiding harmony, the twelve spheres of mind of the Tree of Life
is evolved from the twelve signs of the zodiac, to the twelve tribes, to the
singular twelve disciples, and this Oneness in conjunction with the purified
and undefiled flesh of what we see in the symbolism of the virgin Mary,
permits the birth of that Wholeness of mind which we call Yeshua within us
-- and we have the threefold Anointing (Messiah/Christ) that brings
Oneness. And when we can fulfill this on all three levels of our being
-- i.e., rebirth in the physical, soul-birth where we manifest the Being of
Light, spiritual transformation where the three become One by perfecting the
Higher Laws, and the final birth as portrayed in the crucifixion and our
Absolute Oneness with the Essence of God.
To understand these inner spiritual realities, you must comprehend the post
below to Howard, as well as the six hundred series of posts in the Library
at
And this will be post 603 with at least one more to come. With respect to
the people in Theosophy and the New Age, there are people within these
groups that understand these esoteric concepts of which I speak, but in the
same way the vast majority call me disillusioned, those within the New Age
who understand the Mysteries of God must either remain silent, or be
rejected in the same manner. Since most of these more enlightened people
of the New Age understand these esoteric concepts intuitively, and they lack
the ability of min to portray these realities in the written word -- an
ability that has been perfected over the course of lifetimes of creating
esoteric writings over the course of thousands of years in our reckoning of
time -- these people in the New Age and other religious paths must remain
silent while the vast majority of their members tout a parallel allegorical
account to that of the Christians and Jews. It might also do well to point
out that while such groups as the Jehovah's Witnesses have focused on the
number 144,000 as those who would be saved and drawn up into heaven, they
lack even a suitable doctrine to explain the fate of the rest of the people
of the earth beyond that number -- not realizing, that the number 144,000 is
the whole of the multitude of what is human within each person.

Demons/Angels - Atheists
Shalom Howard:
This is a concept that is truly difficult for people to grasp -- i.e. the
multitude of self. And regardless of the fact that I have written many
times on the subject, few people are able to grasp the reality that even in
their present form they exist as a multitude within the one that they are.
From a human perspective, you have as many as 144,000 personalities that
make up the person you call Howard. You draw upon these personalities as
you are confronted with the various outside reflective realities that invoke
different Laws within your mind and being, and thus require different
realities of mind. You are a living community of individualized
personalities that step forth on the stage of Howard to respond to the
various experiences that present itself/themselves to the person who calls
himself Howard. The more consciously aware of self you become, the greater
your awareness of these changing personalities, and the more versatility you
have in taking control of the multitude within you. This is the objective
of that post that Dawn provided on observing one's self, and this is what I
attempted to convey (unsuccessfully) to Gene about the purpose of living in
the NOW. Any time that a community does not have the rule of law and
order, chaos consumes the whole. And this is the plight of the majority of
people who are unaware of self. Quite literally, they are danced like a
puppet by the external circumstances and events of life that control the
switching of the multitude within them -- i.e., they live in a reactionary
mode -- and in many respects, this is what is referenced when Yeshua cured
the man who was possessed by a Legion of spirits. By observing one's self,
and triangulating the multitude of personalities, you are then able to take
a step back towards your inner dimensions of self, and maintain control of
the multitude of self. It's not that the multitude disappear -- but
rather, they move into a higher state of oneness, harmony and balance.
In a number of previous posts I explained that when you are one with your
soul/higher self, you can draw upon any of the past lives that your
soul-self has lived. It's like a counsel within you. And while each
personality is fully conscious that they are part of the one, they are also
conscious of their separateness within the one, and each retains their
specific strengths. There is nothing that is inanimate or static -- the
psychologist fail to grasp that when we remember something, we are
not retrieving data in the manner of a computer -- but rather, we are moving
in the dimension that we call time and observing the past on a psychic
level. And this is who the Being of Light presents the life that we have
lived in what has been described as a panoramic vision -- we are shown
ourselves across the spectrum of consciousness that we call time.
The paradox of Oneness is where the collective consciousness people are
unable to embrace higher reality. Even though Yeshua and the Father were
one, that did not mean that Yeshua the man ceased to exist. And this
misconception on their part is due to their lack of understanding and
awareness of self. They are comprised of a multitude -- their soul-self is
comprised of a considerably larger multitude -- and God is comprised of the
Multitude of all of Creation. When you look out at the world, there is no
such thing as an inanimate object -- you just fail to perceive that
everything has a consciousness which corresponds to its vibratory frequency
of mind. And this reality is presented in the Gospel of the Nazirenes
where it states
:
For seven years he conversed with God face to
face, and he learned the language of birds and the beasts, and the healing
powers of trees, and of herbs, and of flowers, and the hidden secrets of
precious stones, and he learned the motions of the Sun and the Moon and the
stars and the powers of the letters, and mysteries of the square and the
circle and the transmutation of things, and of forms, and of numbers, and of
signs... As Yeshua was going into a certain village, he met a man who was
deaf from his birth. And he did not believe in the sound of the rushing
wind, or the thunder, or the cries of the beasts, or the birds which
complained of their hunger, or their hurt, nor that others heard them.
Yeshua breathed into his ears, and they were opened, and he heard. He
rejoiced with exceeding joy in the sounds he denied before. And he said,
"Now I hear all things."
But Yeshua said to him, "How can you say, 'I hear all
things?'
Can you hear the sighing of the prisoner,
or the language of the birds, or the beasts when they commune with each
other, or the voices of angels and spirits? Think how much you can't hear,
and be humble in your lack of knowledge"... And
there was a certain man who was blind from his birth. And he denied that
there were such things as sun, moon, and stars, or that color existed. And
they tried in vain to persuade him that other people saw them; and they led
him to Yeshua, and He anointed his eyes and made him see. And he greatly
rejoiced with wonder and fear, and confessed that before he was blind. And
now, after this, he said, "I see all, I know everything, I am a god." And
Yeshua again said to him, "How can you know all? You can't see through the
walls of your house, nor read the thoughts of your fellow-men, nor
understand the language of birds, or of beasts.
You can not even recall the events of your
former life, conception, or birth."
"Remember with humility how much remains
unknown to you, yes, unseen, and doing so, you may see more clearly."
There is much that we need to know -- but because we think we know, we
inhibit our ability to learn. And the above is not speaking of the animals
and lower kingdoms of the external world -- but rather, these kingdoms that
exist within us that we fail to be aware of. And when we grow in
consciousness, and embrace the spiritual alchemy of
"...the transmutation of things, and of forms, and of numbers, and of
signs..." -- these lower realities of mind that serve
as the foundation of our consciousness and being don't cease to exist --
they just exist in harmony and balance and oneness with the Whole. All the
pagan, wiccan and indigenous religions possess their element of truth -- and
this knowledge is understood by those of TheWay -- but we don't worship the
elemental powers in the manner of the people of the nature religions. We
understand that the All exists within the ONE, and it is to the Highest that
we aspire. What does the scriptures say: The Lord your God is One God --
and we understand that within the ONE is the ALL. And this is important --
i.e., if you read the book the MInd of the Cell, you will learn that every
cell of our body has it's own consciousness -- and this consciousness while
unique to that cell, is also an integral part of our consciousness and make
up. And the same way that we live within our soul/higher self, and our
soul/higher self lives within God, these cells live within us. And when we
overcome the Laws that create division within us, the multitude does not
evaporate as the Theosophists think -- but rather, there is the oneness of
being that permits every integral part to perceive itself both individually,
and as an important part of the Whole. True Enlightenment can only take
place, when all the individual souls are themselves enlightened -- and being
One, they don't cease to exist, because it is their experiential knowledge
that brings about the True Enlightenment. So while God, as well as each
soul is personal, they are also the Multitude of ONE.

Shalom Family,
Something that has been

become atheists in that we do not accept the god of the Christians, Jews are
any other concept of man�s god/gods. Their gods are just �too small�.
When be become
�Experienced�, we come to know that what is called �god� is but Cosmic
Thought which manifests Laws, the deviation of which causes discord and

Shalom Seekers of Light & TheWay:
What if I said that the whole pattern of Creation that is presented in post
600 of this series
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/600 ) -- and which
the vast majority of people will call nuts and New Age crap, is in and of
itself elementary because of an important factor that we are only now ready
to discuss after the subsequent posts in this series? In the Library
there are a number of posts on the Holographic Universe -- Quantum Physics
-- and other such concepts that even fewer understand the true dimensions
of. In the scriptures Yeshua many times states that men are blind to both
their own Higher Reality, and in the Gospel of Thomas Yeshua states that the
Kingdom exists before men, but they do not see it. For those of you who
have read some of the Seth writings channeled through Jane Roberts, there is
an important point that he attempted to make that everyone seems to ignore
-- i.e., that if you could alter and shift your perception a few degrees,
that you would begin to see what others are blind to. And this is because
we are depending upon linear sight and linear thinking which causes us to
only perceive a very partial reality. And while women by nature can
intuitively perceive better around the corrner of sight so to speak because
of the "XX" genetics that causes them to be more wholistic, they lack the
ability to connect these other dimensions because this requires the impetus
of the "XY" factor -- but since most men can't use their own "X" factor by
virtue of their outward polarized energy flow -- and they for the most part
only listen to women when they want sex -- this blindness and lack of
development of the essence of the mind is what causes all the prevailing
ignorance in the world as presented in the Divine Marriage
(see
http://DivineMarriage.org ). And this massive ignorance and division
within self, as well as in the world, is caused by man's inability to
perceive with depth because of his linear thinking and linear line of
sight. And from this perspective, what I presented in post 600 which is
well beyond what is generally found in esoteric teachings, is in and of
itself greatly flawed because of the hologram and dimensional factor that
the vast majority of even sincere seekers are incapable of perceiving
beyond. And this is why people such as our sister Judy is greatly deceived
when she attempts to perceive the great truths in the world -- when it is
only milk in the slightly thickened form of Pabulum cereal. And it is
also this factor that causes most students of Kabbalah to fail, as well as
Theosophists and others. They attempt to interpret a holographic and
dimensional reality, with a (physical) mind that is only capable of linear
thinking. And while this flaw is naturally overcome by husband and wife
soul-seekers over the course of developing themselves throughout many
lifetimes, it is rare that men and women even enter into a Divine Union that
has the power to evolve the inner dimensions of being -- and environment
that is difficult to achieve as a solitary seeker -- and near impossible for
a woman without a man because of the lacking "Y" factor. And while we see
great rhetoric and parlor psychic displays among the Theosophists and New
Age, the lack of balance and the development of the lower centers within the
Divine Pattern causes an almost total ignorance of man's own soul-self
because of a lack of Self Knowledge.
Taking the Law of Octaves, or the Law of Three as presented by Pythagoras,
Gurdjieff and myself at
http://TheLawOfOctaves.com , we can observe the twisting of the linear
projection between the third to fourth interval, and because we attempt to
perceive this twisting in a linear manner, we fail to perceive or comprehend
beyond that point. And since the vast majority of people such as our
friend Roger consider what is presented in post 600 a lot of New Age crap --
and without transformation the people of the New Age fail to perceive beyond
that point -- then the Mystics are correct when they warn that the masses of
people are simply blind to reality and chained to the illusions of this
world. And that is because if we apply the Divine Pattern or Law of Three
to the Logos or Third Force of Creation, we see a black hole in what is
presented in post 600 -- with the problem being that if we can't grasp this
Pabulum in this post, we can't even begin to go on to the solid food of true
Spiritual Manna and an understanding of why Yeshua warned that the Kingdom
lies before men, but they are blind and can't see it. Which is also why
the Kingdom can never come upon the earth, and why the Utopia of the New
World Order of the Theosophists and New Age can never come to pass. In the
twisting of the third to fourth sequence in the Octave, the turning is on a
horizontal inward plane -- and this is why the Gospel of the Nazirenes not
only talks of the Son of God, but also the Daughter -- because this same
dividing that is applied to the Divine Pattern and Mother/Father God on one
plane, also is present in the Logos -- but because of the twisting, from a
linear perception the balance is an illusion in its appearance as being one
and undivided. And we see this in the pattern of the fact that the
offspring born of men and women are in like manner male and female -- but in
not applying this reality to the Logos because this division caused by the
twisting of the Octaves can only be seen by altering our perspective and
thinking out of the linear mode, mankind not only remains physically blind,
but mentally and philosophically blind to True Reality and the Kingdom that
Yeshua said lies before him. And this is also the whole foundation of what
is presented in the hologram, the important Unified Field Theory, String
Theory and the findings of Quantum Physics today. And this is also why I
have continually stated that what we are teaching our children, and the
manner that we are teaching our children, in our secular educational systems
today, is not only harmful and should be considered child abuse, but is the
epitome of ignorance. And all those Left Leaning intellectuals who attempt
to indoctrinate our children into the ignorance of Socialism with their
anti-religious agenda, are all leading the people into an even greater black
hole than the Evangelical Christians and other religious groups that at
least possess the symbols of higher consciousness.
Many have criticized me -- claiming that I am attempting to live in the past
in learning from the exploration of my past lives -- and yet, the reality of
the inner dimensions of Creation that the New Age and Theosophist
philosophers are all lacking an understanding of, was all revealed and
explored by the inner core of the Disciples of Yeshua. All that man is
only now beginning to understand the reality of in Quantum Physics, was all
explored by the Disciples of Yeshua as the Master of TheWay took them into
these inner dimensions and realms of Being that natural (carnal) man is
blind to. And when the Gentiles accused the Disciples of being too Jewish,
it was this foundation in the Law and the transmutation and transformation
of the lower nature that enabled them to see, perceive, and comprehend what
the Gentile converts who were entry-level, were blind to. The flesh of man
demands instant gratification -- i.e., tell me what to believe so I can be
enlightened? They don't want to even know about the long and enduring
process of transformation that is required over the course of many lifetimes
-- i.e.,
"We must
through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God"
(Acts 14:22 NKJ). And when you realize that because of the
twisting of the Octaves that the Third Force would appear to us as one --
but in reality it is imbued with the Divine Pattern and is really in the
same triune pattern but on a different plane -- and you begin to understand
that as this pattern moved out and brought forth the enormity of Creation,
creating dimensions within dimensions and realms within realms, that man's
linear perception and understanding is totally incapable of perceiving
reality without the process of alchemical transmutation and spiritual
transformation of walking in TheWay -- only then can you even begin to
understand the reality of man's blindness. Moreover, the monks and yogis
who have never even begun to develop the lower earth realities within
themselves because they negated the lower centers so they could adore the
Light of the upper centers, are gazing upon the Light that was evolved by
souls such as Yeshua who did develop these lower centers and walked in
TheWay. And that is why they can only look, and can't become -- and most
of them totally lack any understanding of the soul-self of man. Which is
why the psychic friend of Louise said of the Buddhists (and yogis):
"the Buddhist aeon is the most dull and grey
of them all, because they are just sitting in this dull grey atmosphere
saying mantras all the time; apparently it is so dull grey there because
they completely blanked their minds here on Earth..."
This is why what is presented in post 600 is at best Pabulum -- this is why
Yeshua said that the Kingdom lies before men and they see it not -- this is
why in the Seth material he speaks of the need to alter one's vision in
order to add depth -- this is why Gurdjieff and Pythagoras warned that if
you fail to comprehend the Law of Three, and do not seek to overcome the
twisting of the Law of Octaves within you, you know nothing of any real
value -- and this is why Gurdjieff warned that the path of the East, while
permitting the yogis and masters to perceptively pierce beyond the
three-dimensional illusion of this world, renders them spiritually impotent
because of their own failure to develop, transmute, and transform their own
lower nature by virtue of the path of denial. And this is why the people
of the New Age and Theosophy are for the most part blind to the inner
reality of the soul-self -- and this total absence of self-knowledge
permeats just about all of their writings. And even when they are
presented with the accounts of the Being of Light in the NDE, they still
lack the dimension of thought and understanding to perceive the reality of
self that is being presented to them. And this is why I am condemned when
I attempt to warn those who come here that because of this inherent
blindness and lack of perception, that only the very few in the world are
able to go beyond the milk of spiritual understanding, and know the
Truth.

Shalom Howard:
Who says Yeshua was never married in previous lives? I never did. He
never did. That he chose not to marry in that life, does not tell the
entire story. No soul could accomplish Perfection in one life -- must less
eons of lifetimes. In the case of the historical Yeshua, we are talking
about a soul who entered life with Oneness in the physical, soul and
spiritual minds and realities, and only had to Complete the final phase
which made him a god. That the church has edited out the means by which a
soul evolves to that level of perfection, is to the detriment of Christians
who lack the understanding of the process of soul-evolution. Once again,
notice that the word meditation is never mentioned in the New Testament --
ANYWHERE. Unlike the yogis, Yeshua condemns the whole
guru and teacher concept that is the mainstay of the East. Flo was reading
part one in the 600 series this morning before I went to work
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/600 ), and came
across the part where I explain that the yogis can only adore the Light,
because they have never developed the Light within themselves. Since all
of Creation is imbued with the Pattern, we can use simple electricity and an
electric light bulb to demonstrate the differences -- i.e., the two wires
are the positive (male) and return (female) parts of the circuit -- and it
is at the point where the two polarities come together in the filament of
the light bulb where the light is emitted. The yogis attempt to negate
their own inner circuitry, and look at the whirring of the generator in the
spiritual centers. Since we are created in the image and likeness of God,
and not just a mere extension as the adherents of the collective
consciousness dogma believe, that means that we have the capacity to evolve
the Light within ourselves -- just as our Source. In fact, when we do
this, we add to the Source and bring Creation closer to the Omega. But to
accomplish this, we must take the potentials of the divided polarities
within self -- Merge them as in the Divine Marriage
In many respects we can liken the path of the East to a variance on the
parable of the talents at Mt. 25:14:
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a man
traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his
goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went
on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded
with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received
two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the
ground, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those
servants came and settled accounts with them. So he who had received five
talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to
me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.' His
lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful
over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the
joy of your lord.' He also who had received two talents came and said,
'Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents
besides them.' His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful
servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' Then he who had
received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man,
reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered
seed. 'And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look,
there you have what is yours.' But his lord answered and said to him, 'You
wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and
gather where I have not scattered seed. 'So you ought to have deposited my
money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own
with interest. 'Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who
has ten talents. 'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will
have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be
taken away. 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'" (Matt
25:14-30 NKJ)
If you remember, your friend Jeff who thinks knows all, and you argue with
on that other forum, posted the wisdom of that swami who said that even
striving for Godliness was the building up of ego and going in the wrong
direction. Yet, in the above parable, the one who did the most striving
and work, was the one who was not only held in the highest esteem, but
benefited the most. So what these refugees from eastern mysticism are
proclaiming is that the path to enlightenment is to place the talent upon
one's inner altar, and spend one's life adoring it. And because of their
path of denial, in the manner of the man who hid the talent in the ground,
they have done nothing to increase what was given to them.
In relation to mine and Flo's discussion with respect to when she read what
I had written, the yogis are the opposite polarity balance of the
degenerates who are portrayed in the above parable of the ones who squander
their life-force away by burying it in the earth. In fact, the yogis are
those who are portrayed in the above who deposit it in the bank, and
incur interest -- which represents the snails pace development of the
Eastern path of meditation and denial. But what is important to understand
is the fact that they exist as a paradoxical opposite to the path of
degeneracy at the opposing polarity of the Cosmic spectrum. Remember, the
Universe -- BY LAW --
must maintain balance. And because of the degenerates on the opposite end
of the Cosmic spectrum who squander away all of their life-force (bury it in
the earth), they are balanced out on the Laws of the Cosmic Tree of Life by
those who put it in the bank (the Eastern chakra gazers). And while those
who put it in the bank do not evolve the Light within themselves, the
interest acquired does add to and feed the WHOLE. It is not that
they are Spiritual or Complete -- but rather, through the path of
denial, they lack the darkness of their degenerate opposites who they are
Married to by Cosmic Law. And in the weakness of their path, they are as
delicate flowers that bask in the Light -- and while they bear witness to
that Light, then cannot become the Light.
Creator-God did not bestow upon man the passions and appetites of the body,
so he could be forever demonized and plunged into the depths of hell when he
engages them. As stated in the Nazirene Gospel:
"For they, making a god of their
belly, sacrificed to their God the innocent creatures of the earth, in place
of the carnal nature within themselves" -- and this carnal
nature MUST be engaged in order to be transmuted into an
unblemished lamb, and transformed into a spiritual foundation for a Disciple
of TheWay to seek the Kingdom from the balanced Center of his Being. These
earth-reality passions and appetites which the yogis deny, have their
corresponding opposites in the higher expressions of the heavenly centers --
and the outward carnal expressions are not only subdued by making the two
one, but the Third Force is Evolved that brings about Perfection and
Completion. We must be as the servant who received five talents -- went
and worked them -- and through much labor and struggling, is able to return
the ten (10) of the Kingdom to our Master. And those who are able to bring
about the ten, always receive the ONE!!!
I am condemned when I tell the Christians that they are walking the
broad-way of self destruction. They tell me that I am blind to the truth
(of their doctrines). I am condemned when I tell the seekers of the New
Age that their concepts which is based upon the teachings of the Billy
Graham's of the East, are just as counterfeit. They say: I talk down to
them! Remember, it was our sister Desiree who is still crying in the
other forums who said to me: "It is hypocritical for you to say
that you are wiser and more knowledgeable than everyone else!"
And yet, the reality that Desiree and others deny, is found in the above
words in the parable: "...And to one he
gave five talents, to another two, and to another one,
to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a
journey."
And how is each person's ability determined? What is the criteria? It is
the same criteria of why others are here in this forum -- i.e., because in
the past they were the "...good and
faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'"
We did not bury the talent in the earth, and neither did we become
chakra gazers as their cosmic opposites in the East -- but rather, over the
course of many lifetimes we picked up our crosses and walked in TheWay.
So, is myself and others truly so egotistical to think that we understand
what the yogi chakra gazers do not? After beginning to read this latest
sequence of posts starting with 600 in the library, my wife Flo concludes
that what I am writing is self-evident, and it can easily be seen why I
reject the Eastern Billy Graham's. Like the Christians, it is not that
they are wrong -- just very incomplete -- and all considering walking their
path should seriously consider if it is beneficial to go in that
direction.

Shalom Allan,
You have returned some
stability to my life with this awesome post. You have posted that which I
have only dared to think. I�m not crazy after all.
In your post, you state:
�Moreover, the monks and yogis who
have never even begun to develop the lower earth realities within themselves
because they negated the lower centers so they could adore the Light of the
upper centers, are gazing upon the Light that was evolved by souls such as
Yeshua who did develop these lower centers and walked in TheWay.�
Question: How did Yeshua,
or others, experience and develop these lower centers if
they were not married or never experienced a woman? This is a redundant
question, not requiring an answer, ?but thought.

Shalom Eric:
With respect to your below link, they are primarily Buddhists who are
attempting to present themselves as Essenes. While most of these groups
condemn Paul -- and I can understand why -- Paul had more in common with
Buddhism than James/Jacob or Yeshua. In fact, the teachings of TheWay was
as much a separation from the ascetic branch of the Essenes, as it was from
the Pharisees.
Because of the great spiritual success, an uncountable number of religious
groups have attempted to assimilate Yeshua into their fold. They each see
in him the fulfillment of their respective religious orders. We see it
even today with the New Age Christians and other groups. And while on one
hand this is good, on the other hand, none of these groups understand the
mindset, lifestyle and inner teachings that brought such great success to
Yeshua and his disciples. And I present this as from a group effort --
which is exactly what it was. The disciples were not the narrow minded
ignorant Jews that most groups have attempted to portray them as. They
were in their own right leaps and bounds ahead of other spiritual orders --
and it is this spiritual essence that I am striving to awaken in many of the
highly evolved souls in this forum.
None of these groups that have attempted to assimilate Yeshua into their own
order, possess any vision of man's true higher soul-reality. And like
Joseph Smith stated in utter frustration, they can't think beyond their
traditions. And most of these traditions are drawn from the ancient
folklore and superstitions of the people. Their ideas about God do more to
inhibit them, than to help them. And I have yet to find any religious
group that possess the knowledge of the soul and the soul-reality. So
this places all religious groups in the category that Edgar Cayce portrayed
them -- i.e., your dammed if you do, and your dammed if you don't.
Without religion, few people are able to get the necessary structure and
discipline in their lives to begin to get control of one's lower nature and
multitude of self -- and without leaving religion behind, few people are
able to fulfill the true interpretation of the words:
�Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand�
(Matt 3:2 NAS) -- which should be interpreted:
�Open and unloose the mind, for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand� (see
http://GateOfEden.com ). So, your dammed if you do, and your dammed if
you don't.
The spiritual movement which came to be the teachings of TheWay, which
embraced the Nazirene Vow
(see
http://messianic.nazirene.us/nazir.htm ), and the Ebionite reality of
the necessity to be poor to the ways of this world, was as much a revolution
from the ascetic ways of the Essenes, as it was from the rest of the
religions of man. So if you say to me that a group of Buddhists are
attempting to assimilate the Essenes and Yeshua, then what you are in effect
saying is that they are going in reverse of reality. While the Buddhists
and Essenes were good and sincere seekers, few of their number were and are
able to release their minds from their traditions in order to truly open the
inner door to the Kingdom. And while the various religious groups and
orders get glimpses of the Light of the Kingdom, very few are able to
�Open and unloose the mind..."
sufficiently to actually enter the Kingdom. And I am not
making reference to the astral realms of the New Age and Theosophy
Because of the inherent anchors of every religious path -- and when I say
every, I do mean EVERY -- Gurdjieff attempt to teach his
disciples about the Laws and how to overcome the Laws through the elevation
of consciousness. By stripping away all the traditions and garb of
religions that anchored the people to superstitious folklore and counterfeit
religious doctrines, Gurdjieff attempted to provide a more pure path for
seekers to strive after the higher truths of reality. But there is so much
left unsaid, that few succeed in making any real advances. Carl Jung
possessed a key when he said that the Christian Gnostics were the worlds
first psychologists -- and this is a truly important concept to embrace.
If all that exists, exists because God is Thinking it -- and if our true
form is the Being of Light
(see
http://BeingOfLight.com ) who is Pure Energy and Intellect, then it is
through the development of the mind that must be our vehicle to find and
know God. Yet, because all religious paths become corrupted by those less
enlightened individuals who follow in the next generation after the original
visionary who initiated the movement, this reality of Mind quickly becomes
eradicated. The survival of the teachings depends upon a large group of
people to embrace these teachings, and since the large group of people are
always of a natural organic mindset that is entry-level at best, the focus
of the respective religion is always on the cure of the carnally sick, and
the higher realities of the development of mind is always sacrificed on the
altar of institutionalization by necessity of survival. Unless the
teachings are made applicable to the multitudes, they can't survive beyond
just a handful of true disciple-seekers of Truth -- and in being made
applicable to a larger number of people, the focus is always on the
elementary, and corruption by counterfeit priests and teachers quickly
follows. Moreover, in order to maintain control of the group, the
independent and evolved use of the mind very quickly becomes condemned.
And while fragments of truth continue to exist across the Tower of Babel
syndrome, few people possess the higher consciousness necessary to fit the
puzzle back together.
Our true form is a Being of Light that is pure energy, intellect and
consciousness. And yet, intellect is a dirty word among most religious
groups -- as is the development and evolution of self. Moreover,
everything that myself or someone like me says, will be thoroughly
misconstrued by the people of a natural organic mindset who can't perceive
anything beyond the limitations of the physical body-consciousness. So,
in order to begin the development of a larger group of people, the necessary
restraints must be instituted in order to get control of the lower mineral,
vegetable and animal kingdoms which the body-vessel is controlled by, but
because these disciplines and ritualized traditions become the main focus,
they become cast in stone and anything beyond them is immediately
condemned. Which means that the larger body of the members of each
respective religion exists in order to create an elementary environment from
which the few true seekers within the group can be ferreted away and
developed in secret from the rest of the believers. And this inner group
within the larger group are the seekers who are in the process of learning
the minor mysteries of God -- with the Higher Truths being reserved only for
the very few who can succeed in bringing about the necessary alchemical
transmutation of the lower three kingdoms in order to create the necessary
body-vessel environment -- and the transformation of the 144,000 multitudes
within self that comprises the human potential -- and the evolution of the
soul-essence into the Oneness as portrayed in the singular twelve disciples
-- and in making the lower earthly triad into the fit bride for the
higher heavenly triad as portrayed in the Star of David, that reality of
mind that we call Yeshua is born of the virgin within, and the disciple is
then positioned to bring about the next stage of soul-birth in the
body-vessel. But that disciple who has begun to walk in TheWay, has about
as much in common as the multitude of their own respective systems of
religion, as the sun has with the moon. And if the reality of that
disciple was ever revealed to the multitudes of their own respective
religion, they would kill him as a heretic.
The true Being of Light that we are -- i.e., our soul-self -- enters
this realm in cycles -- and it is not the soul itself that enters this
ream -- but rather, and embryonic image of our soul
(see
http://nazirene.org/eden4.htm#embro-pre ).
And this soul-self is the Being of Light that is encountered by some in
a Near Death Experience (see
http://BeingOfLight.com ). And it is
your soul-self which exists consciously independent in a parallel realm,
and knows your every thought -- your every future event in your life --
and has the memory of every experience that your true self has ever had
since the dawn of time. What natural man is often incapable of
understanding, is the reality that we
CONSCIOUSLY exist
across the spectrum of a multitude of realms and dimensions, and the
lower realms of consciousness is incapable of perceiving the next higher
level to the Source of Being because of Natural Barriers that exist
because of the turning of the Laws as represented by the twisting of the
Octaves (see
http://TheLawOfOctaves.com ), and the fact that each lower level is
divided on a horizontal plane from the next vertical plane above it.
Throughout this sequence of posts in the Library
(see
http://DivineMarriage.org ). So to possess the knowledge and the
perception of the next vertical (inner) level above us, we must not only
bring the lower levels beneath us into proper harmony and oneness, but
we must re-merge the Adam's and Eve's on the level where we are at.
And as explained throughout the 600 series of library posts, this cannot
be done in the ritualistic denial practices of the larger religious
group. And it is important to understand that Buddhism and Essene
asceticism is a necessary step in order for the people to gain
control over their own lower natures. In the same way that the
various "AA" groups employ the twelve step programs to assist the
addicted from being controlled by their various demons that possess them
-- i.e., alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, food, etc.. -- the carnal people
of this world are addicted to its sensuality, emotionalism, egotism and
the craving of religious/political power, mammon and materialism.
Since no gains can be achieved while man exists in this addicted state,
the religion of the masses is always an "AA" type format which is
necessary to free them from their carnal and worldly shackles. But
the religion then becomes the fulfilling of the rituals and disciplines
to break the addictions -- and as these lesser but necessary rituals
become imbued with what is believed to be what had been Commanded by
God, the true initial purpose and objectives of the respective religions
become lost and obscured.
Life after life we become caught up in the rituals and traditions of the
religious paths, while the primary objective remains obscured and
unknown. Without the religion, we quickly become possessed by the
sensual and elemental appetites of the body, and controlled by the
elemental powers of this world. With the religion, we become so
hypnotized by the rituals, traditions and manmade doctrines, that the
primary objectives of both the religion and life becomes hidden and
concealed from us. This creates the many failures in life -- and it
is this reality that Yeshua makes reference to in the 84th saying of the
Gospel of Thomas in the words
(84) Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But
when you see your images which came into being before you, and which
neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!"
Notice that Yeshua did not say that when you see God, you rejoice... and
how much will you bear? But the reality of what is conveyed in these
words is one of those Great Truths that are unknown and condemned by the
masses of entry-level believers. Because at the "AA" elementary level
everything has to be conveyed from the perspective: God Commanded This
-- or, God Commanded That -- or, you must do this to satisfy the
Requirements and Laws of God -- and the real killer in the doctrine that
you must get rid of self in order to satisfy these Requirements, while
enabling the masses to get control of their lower natures, makes them
unfit for discipleship or walking in TheWay. And so, your dammed if
you do, and your dammed if you don't -- and life after life is a series
of failed soul-images that are only able to make the most minutest of
spiritual gains.
Because the people not only fail to move beyond the entry-level rituals
-- and made the whole thrust of their respective religion the "AA" type
rituals of denial that were necessary to gain control over the lower
nature -- the reality that was portrayed by the psychic
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/596 )
is true of all religions. And in describing the after-death result of
the Eastern path:
"the Buddhist
aeon is the most dull and grey of them all, because they are just
sitting in this dull grey atmosphere saying mantras all the time;
apparently it is so dull grey there because they completely blanked
their minds here on Earth..." And the astral realms
are full of Fundamentalist Christians who do nothing but sing hymns and
praise the Lord -- sex addicts who have perpetual sex -- people who
surround themselves with gold and jewels -- and every other addiction
known to man. And eventually, these addictions are overcome, and the
healing process is begun -- and it is then that they must begin the
journey of self discovery. And this is where the semi-enlightened
Eastern sources correctly described in the portrayal of the Buddhists
(and Hindus) and latter day New Age and Theosophists in the above dark
and dingy astral realm, who have failed to understand the teachings of
Yeshua, or my present teachings of the reality of the soul-self that
they totally rejected in their attempt to negate the self and become one
with God -- or worse yet, those who negate all knowledge with the
doctrine of the Collective Consciousness and the all you need is love
rhetoric -- must begin to come to terms with their own true higher
reality. Yeshua said:
"When you see your likeness..." --
and yet the New Agers and Theosophists who come here to call me a
heretic completely ignore this reality because it is above and beyond
their psychics and mediums. And when they attempt to adopt Jesus, and
make him one of the yogi-type enlightened masters, they make the
teachings of Yeshua and TheWay as counterfeit as the Christians and
their Jesus-god. And why do these people condemn what I write?
Because it doesn't conform to their many books that are drawn from
the elementary religious rituals that has through corruption become the
substance of their respective religions.
In the Gospel of Thomas saying 84, your likeness is the true you --
i.e., the Being of Light who is your soul-self. Your images are the
personalities (embryonic images) which lived before you in previous
lives which failed to become one with their source of being (the Being
of Light), and thus failed to "become manifest".
While these images are never manifest, they do not die with respect to
remaining as experiences in the travail and journey of the soul who must
fulfill the requirement of perfection as stated at Matthew 5:48 where we
are told to be Perfect, as our Heavenly Father is Perfect.
Many, many, many (notice the number of many's) years ago when I first began
my seeking, I read a book about the psychic and medium Arthur Ford, and one
of the things that hit me like a rock through an intuitive insight that I
did not at that time understand, was when he said that, in his
investigations on the other side, many things that man considers a sin, is
not a sin at all. And this was my own soul-self attempting to convey to me
the need to question what mankind thinks is right and wrong, good and bad,
etc. And much of my own exploration into past lives and learning about
our soul-self that is a great void in the books that seekers read, was as
much the process of getting right of religious, cultural and societal
ignorance and misinformation, as it was learning the truth. And as long as
man continues to remain ignorant of his true nature and form, then he will
continue to be shackled to models of entry-level religion, and make gains at
a snails pace over the course of countless lifetimes. And this, in many
instances, religion does as much harm as it does good.
In the pattern that I laid out in this series, the disciple must apply the
third-force of the lower earth centers, in harmony with the third-force of
the heavenly centers which is often portrayed as the Christ Center, with the
third-force of the heart center that is because of the Law of Octaves on a
different plane that the others. The problem is that this requires the
transmutation and transformation of the lower natures with their opposites
in the higher centers, and the balance and harmony of the twelve spheres of
mind of the Tree of Life which are represented in the organs of the body.
But since the religions of the world both inhibit and deny the lower
natures, and look upon the development of mind as pure heresy, the people
are all up the creek without a paddle. They can't possess the knowledge
and understanding of the soul-self that dwells in an inner realm of being,
and is the true being that we are, because their respective religious
teachings inhibit them from overcoming their divided natures, and opening
the inner door to the realm of souls. You can't have it both ways -- i.e.,
if our true nature and form is a Being of Light that is pure energy,
intellect and illumined knowing, then you can't find self, and Know Self, by
following a path that negates the development of mind. And while these
religious paths succeed in gazing upon the Light -- as with the chakra
gazers of the East and the New Age -- the very tenets of their respective
religious paths inhibit them from bringing the Tree of Life into harmony and
oneness, and becoming the Light by manifesting their soul-self in their
body-vessel. Which means that their own religious paths have become an
obstacle to the Truth, the Light and TheWay.
If I had not been, who I was in my previous lives, I would be just as lost
as everyone else. If each of you, had not been who you were in your
previous lives, you would not bee here listening to the ramblings of a
heretic. And if you think that the religions of the world would accept
the truth when it is presented to them, then you are yourself a great
fool. Without the ability to explore my past lives and communicate with
my soul-self, I could never have unraveled the Mysteries of God that
perplexes the religious leaders of the world today. At best, I would have
been no better than the rest of them. And this is what makes the
difference between True Spiritual Gnosis, and doctrinal head-knowledge which
my wife calls B/S knowledge. And since most religious leaders do not
possess the catalysts that I do, that enables me to not only restore the
knowledge of TheWay -- but to pierce through the inner barrier through the
Center that most religious leaders cannot -- it is impossible for them to
know what only the very few who possess the Knowledge of TheWay can Know.
And in like manner, many of you are here so that you can benefit from the
catalysts that permit me to do this -- as has been the case in numerous
previous lifetimes -- and you entered this life knowing that I would provide
you the tools that would enable to you become awakened to your own higher
soul-self reality. But since we dwell in a world of self-imposed
ignorance, only those who are prepared to confront self and the shackles
that inhibit you from embracing the process of
�Open and unloose the mind, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand� -- will remain here without
being provoked to anger and condemnation at my attitude and ways of
awakening those who know, but are sleeping. Because there is no other
means to awaken one who has been drugged and hypnotized by the god of this
world, except by jarring them and disrupting their doctrinal shackles that
keeps them in their stupor. And many will go away mad, because as Paul
warned: "Those who think they know, do not yet know as they
should know" -- because the natural mind of man will judge and
condemn the Higher Mysteries of God as pure "foolishness"
-- and they will reason that anyone who thinks they know what others do not,
are ego driven misguided fools. And since this soul and spiritual
disenfranchisement is the only true Universal Truth which
permeates all of mankind, this insures that the Mysteries of God are
preserved only for those few who are willing to walk in TheWay.

Shalom Emmanuel & Desiree:
One of the important reasons why The Fourth Way needs a teacher, is to keep
the disciples from be re-seduced by the collective consciousness of this
world. And this you can observe in our present time when people leave
Christianity and convert to a New Age type of thinking, while they think
they found the truth, they have merely been seduced into a new rhetorical
trap. This is caused by the fact that a conversion to a different school
of philosophy, does in no manner equal transformation.
Gurdjieff understood that the only way that the way of the monk and yogi
work, is if the believer leaves this life and retires to an ashram or
monastery. For a developing mind, it is necessary to escape the clutches
of the god of this world, and enter a sacred sanctuary in the presence of
evolved souls who will drive the disciple into the higher realities of soul
and spirit. Remember, unlike the people from the New Age who read books
and post in these forums, Gurdjieff went directly to the source of Eastern
teachings -- as presented in that post I made to Dawn of Gurdjieff and Jung
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/588 ) where it was
written:
An enigmatic
Greek Armenian, George Gurdjieff, born in Russia about 1870, is generally
acknowledged as the bearer of the enneagram to the West. His autobiography
relates his travels through Central Asia, Tibet, and India. Gurdjieff's
wanderings led him to Nasqshbandi Sufis and their claim to be "Masters of
Wisdom," where an inner circle of enlightened masters teach these ancient
truths, orally, to selected student-seekers. The esoteric teachings that
characterize their beliefs were revealed to men by spirits called
"Transformed Ones." Gurdjieff gathered a band of believers and in Moscow
they established The Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man.
Fleeing to Paris and on to New York following the Bolshevik Revolution,
Gurdjieff set up shop, teaching "Esoteric Christianity."
A catalog of the
beliefs of Gurdjieff's Esoteric Christianity includes the head, heart, and
gut division of man, which must be kept in balance by spiritual dances
(based on enneagram dynamics) ensuring that one remain spiritually awake.
Most importantly, the essence of man is the material of the universe-a
divine essence. According to Margaret Anderson, author of The Unknown
Gurdjieff, few people are able to shed their ego-the personality style
adopted at age three-in order to release their essence, entrapped by the
personality. The spiritual exercises taught by Gurdjieff were designed to
effect that transformation. Gurdjieff's zeal for the enneagram lay in its
power to reveal to men the cosmic process-the natural ordering of the
universe-as he believed the enneagram reflected the numerical order of the
universe itself. The symbol's numbering also fascinated mathematician Peter
Ouspensky, who became a Gurdjieff disciple. The mathematical fact that 1
divided by 7 results in the repeating, nonterminating decimal .142857,
without the digits 3, 6, or 9, while dividing 3, 6, or 9 into 1 results in
self-repeating decimals was believed by Ouspensky to be the mathematical map
of a harmonic universe-a divine inner order of all things. Gurdjieff and
Ouspensky revered the enneagram to such a degree that they taught "Only what
a man is able to put in the enneagram does he actually know, that is,
understand."
Gurdjieff's work
evolved into the "Fourth Way," which is a method of achieving inner
perfection in ordinary life, rather than withdrawing from the world as do
the yogi, fakir, and monks. The goal of Fourth Way practitioners is an
accelerated transformation, returning to pure essence.
Will Pae's forum is a prime example of people who believe they are
enlightened because they have changed their rhetoric. They haven't
undergone the process of transformation -- in fact, they reject the very
elementary way of life necessary to begin to initiate spiritual
transformation. And this is because after their conversion, the Law of
Octaves (see
http://TheLawOfOctaves.com ) once again twisted their new rhetorical
reality, and they are very much living in the same old house with a new
facade. They just entered a new variety of sleep and stupor -- the
collective consciousness convinced them that they found enlightenment -- and
this is true of everyone who does not maintain vigilance over the mind.
Remember those verses on staying awake -- the need for a watchmen -- these
make reference to maintain an awakened state and not to be seduced by the
Law as presented in the twisting of the octaves.
I see in the above the mention of the need to shed the false ego-self which
inhibits the release of the soul-essence. Most people could make an
Eastern type dogma out of this, and go off and be once again seduced by the
collective consciousness of this world until they leave this world. And
the great reality that these people would be missing, if the fact that the
false personality is not only necessary, but an important element in the
equation in order for the disciple to evolve. Gurdjieff makes the
association of the city person as the epitome of false personality, and the
country person where people such as where Howard lives possessing a more
highly developed essence, but lacking in the dynamics to drive
that soul-essence to the point of rebirth. Like male and female
polarities, within the person there must be a balance between ego and
essence in order to achieve true growth and evolution.
Because of the twisting of the Laws, the people who attempt to rid
themselves of ego, only create an alter-ego, and this is merely their
failure to realize that they have been once again seduced by the collective
consciousness of this world which uses the gravity of mind (Satan) to keep
them trapped. As my wife often points out: Don't these people see that
they are the most egotistical of all? And I tell her no, because the god
of this world has given them a new delusion.
A True Teacher MUST possess the knowledge of the soul-self
-- because, without this experiential knowledge, the seeker will be quickly
seduced by the twisting of the octaves and the power of the collective
consciousness of this world to trade one rhetorical illusion for a new
rhetorical illusion -- both being a delusion. The people of the New Age,
while many are sincere in their endeavors, and there are many really
valuable healing methods that parallel the Sufi dancing used by Gurdjieff to
maintain the proper flow of vital life-force through the inner kingdoms of
the body -- remain lost because they lack a teacher who knows the threefold
nature of Creation and mankind, and the reality of the soul-self. Often,
through the use of confrontation, the teacher must break the shackles of the
new delusion that the (gravity of mind) working through the collective
consciousness and the twisting of the octaves, the teacher must continually
free the disciple. Every time the seeker believes he has found truth, the
collective consciousness of this world will use a new illusion to once again
seduce him/her into thinking they found the truth of enlightenment.
People get angry at me, because I blow holes in their rhetorical
facade. But their anger is good, because a seeker needs to
harness this emotion to blast through the fossilized rhetorical beliefs that
the collective consciousness has used to re-seduce them. And in invoking
Laws, these Laws come back upon them like a boomerang, and help to free them
from their shackles. You will see these people return back to this forum
in cycles -- and that is because their own soul-self is driving them back
here for another treatment of blowing away the new rhetorical (Gurdjieff
called them) buffers that the collective consciousness of this world
has re-installed in them in order to keep them shackled. Feminine
compassion and politically correct nice-words would be a poison that merely
permits them to experience a slow death. And there own soul-self who is
working from the realm of souls to awaken them, sends them to me for a new
healing by once again chipping away a little more of the shackles that
enslave them. Often, I know they are coming even before they arrive.
When I made that initial post on Dawn's forum I got hate mail from our old
friends at the call group who basically have people such as Louise and
Sheryl under their control, and the following was sent to Dawn and cc'ed to
me: "Hi, I've been watching the
list for a while but never felt to join. Allan is just a pharisee in
slightly different garb. He clogs the mind of others with his endless mental
revolutions and seeks to stir up separation by evoking partisanship,
whenever his own belief system is threatened. Giving him attention will only
encourage him to shout out his credentials louder. He is a desperate and
deeply deluded man, perpetually justifying his own spiritual status by using
his intellect and belittling others in order to reflect back to himself his
own views of his superiority. He is one of those whom Jesus exposed and
reviled 2000 years ago. Anyone who follows him will have something of the
ancient Jewish karma/evil in them."
It is good for their own growth that I invoke this anger in them -- because
only through the boomerang effect of the Laws, can they be helped.
Gurdjieff was able to bypass the error of the Billy Graham's of the East
(Theosophy), because he went to the source of Eastern Mysticism -- i.e.,
"...His autobiography relates his travels through Central Asia, Tibet, and
India. Gurdjieff's wanderings led him to Nasqshbandi Sufis and their claim
to be "Masters of Wisdom," where an inner circle of enlightened masters
teach these ancient truths, orally, to selected student-seekers. The
esoteric teachings that characterize their beliefs were revealed to men by
spirits called 'Transformed Ones'." I was able to bypass
the Billy Graham's of the world both east and west, by going back to that
life I lived with Yeshua, and through my wife's ability to transcend time
and re-manifest past lives in the present time frame of consciousness. It
is imperative for the god of this world to maintain control of you, to
seduce you into the delusion that there is truth in this world -- that you
can find truth by reading the many books of the East/West Billy Graham's and
chakra gazers of this world -- in order to inhibit you from seeking your
soul-self and the inner Kingdom. Will Pae became angry when I told him
that even the best churches of this world are mere shadow churches of the
one within. I enrage the Christians when I prove their doctrines to be
counterfeit and their scriptures corrupted (see
http://TheTenWords.com ). I enrage the people of the New Age when I
blow holes in their rhetoric. My wife will tell you that I am hated by the
local government. Great Wisdom is expressed in the Gospel of the Nazirenes
where it is warned:
"These things have I spoken to you
that you should be forewarned. They shall put you out of the synagogues;
yea, the time comes, that who so ever kills you will think that they do
God's service. And these things will they do to you, because they have not
known the All-Parent, nor me."
The Truth: Any religion that dwells in peace in this world, has been
compromised. Any teacher or prophet who is embraced by a large number of
people in this world, is counterfeit. This world is a reflected reality --
and like a black and white negative, Light and dark are reversed. In the
same way that we can't look upon the physical light of this world -- i.e.,
the sun -- without becoming blind -- and we can only look upon the light
through a reflected reality, this reversal permeates every aspect of this
world. Light is dark -- strength is weakness -- good is bad -- truth is
error -- and the god of this world is the Devil -- i.e., "...the
time comes, that who so ever kills you will think that they do God's
service." If a New World Order and government were
to arise as the New Age Utopians promote, then it will herald in the
universal worship of Lucifer. The god of this world being of a Left Hand
reflective reality, is totally threatened and undermined by anyone True
Prophet who knows the Truth of the Inner Kingdom of Light. And while there
is Truth in the world, the Tower of Babel syndrome which has been brought
about by the Laws has so fragmented this Truth, that it becomes a force of
continued enslavement because of its incompleteness. And any True Prophet
who knows the Truth, will be rejected and even killed by those who serve the
god of this world.
In many respects The Fourth Way can be said to be the religionless path
to enlightenment. In recognizing that all the religious paths of the
world were corrupted because the god of this world uses all traditional
religions to perpetuate the enslavement of the believers -- and all
religions were/are fundamentally useless from the perspective of their
original intent to bring about soul-birth over the course of a single
lifetime -- Gurdjieff revealed in his teachings the reality of the Laws
which keep man ignorant of higher reality, and shackled to lives of
self-ignorance -- and he revealed the means to overcome these Laws.
Gurdjieff was born a Sufi, and traveled to India and Tibet to study
under the enlightened masters of the East -- and having recognized the
failings of the Eastern path -- being a slow and steady path of
enlightenment, its way of denial required lifetimes for the seekers of
this path to become conscious of their inner soul-reality -- he realized
the need to create a system where anyone could begin the process of
spiritual elevation and enlightenment without having to retire to a
monastery or ashram and walk a path that can take eons to bring
results. And seeing the failings of the many traditional religious
paths, he also knew that if he was to initiate a new or renew one of the
existing religious paths, with the traditional associated religious
beliefs and doctrines, that his efforts would quickly become corrupted
and would end up just like all the rest -- just one rung above useless
because of the corruption. So in keeping his teachings to the reality
of the Laws, while eliminating all traditional religious doctrines and
traditions, he believed that his teachings would remain more pure
because they wouldn't be compromised by the class of priests and
politicians who use religion for their own positions of power over the
people and material gain. And he also understood that this was one of
the fundamental reasons why the historical Buddha said that there was no
God -- only us -- thus, taking away the element that the priest class
uses to cultivate positions of power. Let me assure you that both
failed -- i.e., The Fourth Way is dependent upon a teacher, and few
people possess the depth to comprehend the teachings of Gurdjieff -- and
after personally spending thirteen months traveling around South East
Asia during the Vietnam war, the priests have totally taken over and
created a culture in total opposition to what the Buddha envisioned.
Gurdjieff correctly stated that if man was to be able to actually take a
step back from his immersion in this world and actually see his present
predicament of life -- how he is little more than a herd-animal in
the organic reality of life in this world who is the source of a certain
vibratory frequency of vital life-force that the collective
consciousness of this world needs to survive -- and a man could perhaps
be permitted even a lucid moment where he could gaze upon this world
from an elevated perspective and perceive his true reality for even
one moment -- the vast majority of people would be horrified at what
they witnessed. And while this has been said by others, in his
explanation of the workings of the Laws, Gurdjieff went into far greater
depth and detail. Yeshua said that the father of the Torah observant
Pharisees who did exactly what the scriptures commanded, was the devil
-- but few people relate that to their own lives. Paul spoke of the
god of this world that controls every aspect of life in this realm --
but Christians are under the deluded mindset that they are free from the
shackles of imprisonment. The Gnostics said that the God of the Jews
was a Demiurge, but few understand this assertion, and everyone thinks
that they are exempt from the reality of worshiping the Demiurge. To
their own demise, everyone thinks they understand what was warned, and
no one applies this lesser god reality to themselves. Our sister Judy
is a prime example of the seduced who believe that the world is full of
truth -- and while she is a very intelligent and insightful woman who
appears to be a sincer seeker, because she has never viewed this world
from the perspective of her soul-self, she has easily fallen victim to
the pervading force of the great illusion. And since the vast
multitude of people are simply incapable of releasing themselves from
the shackles of the collective consciousness of this world, they are
doomed to develop at a virtual snails pace.
If you are going to understand Gurdjieff, then the first thing you are
going to have to do is set aside all your religious beliefs -- put them
on a shelf in your mind -- and be ready to prove the Truth with your own
life. But this is also true of the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay.
And this is also true of any path that leads to a greatly accelerated
spiritual evolution of self. Why? Because he dwells in a reflected
reality where the Tree of Duality has reversed Light and Dark, all of
natural man's perceptions and ideas about life are fatally flawed. And
this is why Paul warned the baptized believers that they would look upon
the Mysteries of God as "foolishness".
How can this be, you say? Because of man's very limited perception and
understanding of life due to the organic obstructions of the physical
body-vessel in which he dwells. His body which is comprised of the
elements of the three kingdoms of the earth, is limited to perceiving
and interpreting only that spectrum of frequencies associated with the
earth. And these limitations are brought about by the fact that nature
only permits the body-consciousness to evolve to that point where the
mind supports the physical, and no further. In fact, the body itself
inhibits further development of mind and consciousness. And what all
true enlightened visionaries have taught, is the absolute need to escape
the mechanical reality of the collective consciousness of this physical
world. This can in many ways be compared to the individual cells that
make up your own body -- i.e., with the exception of the alien
consciousness which is you, the person who calls herself Desiree, all
the rest of the body parts are basically running of auto-pilot. They
each perform a biological function which serves the whole, and none of
the cells of your body act independently of the assigned biological
function. And since the Laws of Creation always maintain balance
within the reality of the Tree of Life, each person is born into this
world under Law, with an assigned biological-cosmic purpose -- and in
the same way that each cell of your body is limited to its assigned
function, your life as a single cell in the cosmic universe is the
same. That pattern of the Macrocosm, is the same as the microcosm --
and in the same way that your body has countless cells, you are as a
cell in the body-mind of the Macrocosm of this world.
Regardless of the fact that even a very superficial examination of the
world confirms that the universe is just as the Deists stated -- i.e.,
running on auto-pilot -- the vast majority of people cannot deal with
this cosmic reality. To them, their life is the most important thing
in the world -- and they believe that God should share their view of
themselves. But in their failure to comprehend how the lower realms of
Creation came into existence -- that to a degree, freewill permeates
every aspect of Creation -- and the reality that each level is in and of
itself, self-sustaining -- the average religious person is simply unable
to deal with the reality of this world. When Yeshua said: "God
is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and
truth.... It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life... the
Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees
Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be
in you" (John 4:24; 6:63; 14:17 NKJ). If you want to
know the Truth, then you must life the live and embrace the mindset that
will bring about the necessary alchemical transmutation of your lower
nature, and the spiritual transformation of self, overcome your divided
natures and manifest your soul-self, and only then will you be prepared
to seek God and the Inner Kingdom.
This world is thoroughly mechanical -- i.e., running on auto-pilot.
And the people of this world are all hypnotized into a stupor where in
the reflected image, they embrace the illusion as if it were real --
i.e., Plato's Cave
(see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/540 ) -- and
as Plato warns to no avail that those who actually enter our inner
soul-reality, and return back to this world:
"...Then,
when they try to go back into the cave and tell the other captives the
truth, they are mocked as madmen." Examine your
own body -- i.e., every aspect of your body is basically self-sustaining
and self-serving. You don't have to think about the majority of bodily
functions that are all running on automatic. And while modern man has
created a world of complexities that only further enslave him,
indigenous man only works about an hour a day to serve all his bodily
needs. And with respect to your alien personality, the body-vessels of
many people live years in a a coma or suppressed mental state. So
while you need your body as a vessel to manifest in this world, for the
most part your body functions without you. Everything in this world
breathes, consumes food and nourishment, has sex and procreates, lives
and dies regardless of the level of intelligence associated with the
organism -- and while humans many ritualize many of these organic
functions, your body is basically in total control of every aspect of
your life except for the philosophical and religious window dressing
that mankind places upon the necessities of life. And basically, one
of the realities that Gurdjieff correctly warned the people about, was
the fact that all valid religious paths that are intended to free man
from the shackles of organic existence as a cell in this body-world, are
very quickly assimilated and co-opted by the (collective) consciousness
of the organic reality of this world. And in the same way that your
own body possesses the means to protect itself against any threat to its
existence -- and has whole inner organism designed to fight off any
disease or damage to its survival -- so does the body-organism of this
world. And in the same way that Yeshua said that his Kingdom was not
of this world, genuine religion is as a disease to the body-organism of
this world -- and in the same way that your own body fights off all
invading organism, this world will immediately pounce upon any
expression of genuine religion that would free the people from servitude
to the collective cosmic-body consciousness, and thereby threaten its
balance and harmony -- i.e.,
"...the
time comes, that who so ever kills you will think that they do God's
service." The people of a natural organic mind
who exist in a fallen state, cannot use the vital life-force that they
generate through their spiritual centers. In the Library there are
numerous posts on the holographic universe -- and there is an article
which presents this reality at
(see
http://messianic.nazirene.us/science_proves.htm ) -- and one of the
realities of this world is the fact that every form and aspect of
organic existence is a projection of man's own psyche imbued into nature
and all of organic life. So what we are seeing in this world is a
reflection of self that the Eastern religions call the illusion that
must be escaped -- but they do this because of their own
incompleteness with respect to the denial of their lower nature -- and
in reality, everything in this world is an allusion that points to and
reflects an important element in our own psyche. Which means that we
are presently dwelling in a Living Allegory -- i.e., a Living Scripture
-- which is why the in the Essene Gospel of Peace Yeshua condemns the
reading of scriptures in the manner that most religions do
All of these realities are possible, because everything is created in
accord with the Divine Pattern
(see
http://DivineMarriage.org ), and every aspect of Creation is imbued
with the DNA of Creator God. And the quickest way to attain to True
Enlightenment, is by entering into a Divine Marriage with a fellow
soul-seeker -- because all the elements of the Whole are present within
the union of husband and wife who seek the true depth of their own
relationship. And this is why Yeshua says that God did not write your
scriptures and books -- man did. But if you begin to understand what
you see with
depth of consciousness, then the Laws
themselves will evolve you. But since most people's lives are
superficial in every way, they remain shackled to their role in
the cosmic elemental scheme of the outer reality of this world.
Refugees from the philosophical ramblings of this world come here and
proclaim that the answer is unconditional love -- and that is fine, now
practice this on your husband, wife and children. Love and treat your
husband and wife as if they were a god or goddess. Raise your children
as you would want to be raised. And in all things, live your highest
ideal in every expression of life. Begin to do this, and the Laws
will insure your evolution and movement toward enlightenment. But
since few people are willing to totally surrender their selves to their
spouse -- and fewer yet are willing to perpetually live their highest
ideal -- then they negate the Laws and remain enslaved. Gurdjieff knew
this, and he would only work with disciples who were married. And
Emmanuel very quickly learned this great Truth when he relived his life
as an Ebionite. If you want to Know the Truth, then you must begin by
building an environment where Truth can dwell -- in a mindset that is
the
"good ground" within which the
seed-essence of soul-self can grow and expand to consume the whole of
you. And while you must love and have compassion on the people of this
world, you must in no manner imitate their unclean ways -- and you must
totally insulate your children from embracing their path and worshiping
the god of this world. And if you constantly live your highest ideal,
and be faithful to the little things, then the Spirit will give you the
Greater in which you seek. This is the Law. When Emmanuel asked
about Dawn in Spirit, he was told that she should cultivate and raise up
her family. One of the women in the forum took this as man's attempt
to negate the power of women, and relegate them to the kitchen. In
these postings, and on these web sites, everyone has already been given
the necessary lifestyle and primary mindset that must be embraced to
cultivate the soul-essence and the Truth and Light within you -- and
unless you make yourself a Consecrated Sanctuary that is a FIT
Environment for the Truth and Light of the Kingdom to InDwell, nothing
more can be received. Quoting the Pistis Sophia off the Being of Light
web site:
"Do not cease seeking day or night, and do not let yourselves relax
until you have found all the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which
will purify you and make you into Pure Light and lead you into the
Kingdom of Light." (see
http://BeingOfLight.com) Do this, and you will know the Truth by
virtue of your own soul-birth and inner spiritual experiences of direct
and intimate contact with the Kingdom within (see
http://GateOfEden.com )

Shalom Desiree,
There is quite a lot that can be said about the need for a guide, however what
the gnostic is to realise, and what Yeshua taught, is that the True Teacher is
within us. For those who cannot access this teacher, they need help getting
there, for those that can, they can learn all they need from him. All teachers
are ultimately counterfeit in this world, ie:
"let none of you be called
Rabbi, for One is your Teacher." But for those who are unable to reach
the inner levels on their own, a teacher can help facilitate their progress -
like a catalyst that lowers the energy required to activate a chemical reaction.
A wise student of Gurdjieff is an observant one. It would be wise to consider
the observations noted in the following article by a devout student of Gurdjieff:
http://www.authentic-breathing.com/self-observation.htm
While Gurdjieff was not wrong in his teachings of the Fourth Way and he
understood the nature of the problem that confounds a seeker in this world,
there are inner teachings that he could not give to the masses because he was
wiser than them. The movement that began as the Fourth Way will come back upon
the students and raise them up to new heights when a teacher is developed from
amongst their own teachings - one who will be able to internalize and expand
upon the teachings in a way that develops the students in the method as put
forth by Gurdjieff himself.
Peace be with you,
Emmanuel
