Christian Pagan Superstition vs Intellectual Folly

When asked why Christians are limited in their spiritual development and understanding, it is important to understand the plight of the lost prodigal son and the quagmire of the Divine Pattern of Creation with respect to the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Duality.   From the perspective of the parable that Jesus taught, the lost prodigal son is held in a condition of servitude to the (Citizen) god of this world, until which time he is able to free himself, and begin to journey in TheWay.   And thus, the dilemma that equally confronts all of mankind in his struggles in this world which he must eventually prevail over, in order to escape what is often portrayed as the illusions of Plato's Cave.

The problem confronting mankind in his search for answers is seen in the fact that the physical body in which we presently dwell, only supports the development of mind to a level that corresponds to the needs of the body.   Therefore, it is truly difficult for organic man to understand his own higher spiritual reality, because in his present infantile form, it is virtually impossible for him to even envision his own higher true soul-reality (see SoulSelf.org ).   The question is, then, in order to develop the mind beyond organic limitations, the person not only needs to consciously embrace a higher reality that is beyond the needs and requirements of the physical -- but this development must be brought about in such a way that it uses the Laws of Nature and Creation as a catalyst, to bring about the condition of expanded consciousness (see The Heightening And Expansion Of Mind).   Why?  Because it is necessary to work with the inherent design of the body and mind, in order to advance beyond organic levels which serves only the needs of the body.   By this I mean that in order to advance yourself beyond a certain level of development which can be portrayed as natural organic consciousness, you must understand the Laws and Controlling Factors of this world, in order to bring about any reasonable advancement within yourself.   In the same way that the Laws inhibit you from driving a car over the Grand Canyon, building a campfire with wet wood, sustaining life while depriving the body of food and water, or holding your breath beyond a very limited point, in order to advance you must learn to use the Laws and Forces of the physical and mental, in order to move beyond natural organic limitations.   

In the parable of the prodigal son, the god of this world holds the lost son in a state of slavery and servitude, by imposing organic limitations upon his being.   True Spiritual Religion is therefore not belief and faith in the unknown -- but rather, the systematic use of the Laws and Forces of Mind and Being in the endeavor to prevail, and move beyond these organic limitations which can be portrayed as natural awareness and carnal consciousness.   That man possesses this innate latent potential that he for the most part remains ignorant of, is largely because of his lack of esoteric knowledge -- which from a biblical perspective, causes him to perpetually Wander In Error. 

 

While there is no gender or other divisions in the higher reality of the soul -- no male or female souls -- in this world EVERYTHING that exists, exists in a divided reality -- and the rungs of the proverbial Jacob's Ladder that elevate you into a higher reality, is NEVER built upon one side or the equation or the other -- but rather, the infusion of both into a higher reality that can only be envisioned and brought about through WHOLENESS.   And herein lies the problem -- i.e., while this is admittedly difficult for the vast majority of mankind, the task is easily accomplished when leaders arise who have accomplished the fulfilling of the Laws within themselves -- giving meaning to the reality of Jesus' words that religious leaders should first remove the beam from their own eyes, before attempting to remove the splinters from the eyes of their brothers and sisters.   

 

Paradoxically, in the same way that we can say that faith apart from actions is dead -- that the flesh without the spirit is dead -- that the male without the female is impotent and dead -- that conservatism without liberalism, or liberalism without conservatism, always brings about tyranny and insanity -- that the linear without the intuitive, and the intuitive without the linear, is always a dilemma of distortion -- that one side of the paradoxical equation without the other is dead -- and thus, the one polarity without its opposite is the proverbial forbidden fruit of the Tree of Duality (aka Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil).   

If it is true that the historical man Jesus manifested a oneness with Creator-God as set forth in the original Gospel Accounts (see TheTenWords.com ), then we can say that he was God Manifest in the flesh.   Yet, it is also true that the historical Jesus was very much a man -- just as all other men -- who prevailed and overcame.   Which means that we are bound to profound error if we attempt to portray the historical Jesus as God, or if we attempt to portray him as just a man.   And without understanding the equation of man and God -- the physical and the spiritual -- and the third-force balance of the soul of man -- then it will remain impossible for the mind of the person to evolve beyond a very low-level human reality -- i.e., carnal consciousness.   From a Christian perspective, the reading of either the scriptures, or the great bulk of Christian books, can do absolutely nothing to bring about the necessary development of mind, because what is being read totally lacks the opposite polarity within the foundational equation -- and therefore is nothing more than ideological programming that brings about mental and spiritual impotence.   But from a Church perspective of traditional organized religion, a congregation of blind-faith believes is the objective of the charlatan clergy and political leaders who used religion to control the masses.

By nature, religion is intended to bring about a marriage of the intuitive (feminine) with the linear (male) spheres of mind (see Intuitive vs Linear) -- and as with all evolved marriages, the two become One and Whole within the construct of the Union.   But this essential Spiritual Marriage of opposites, becomes totally undermined by Church dogma and doctrines of belief.   Why?   Because Church dogma peddled to the masses -- and as such, is intended to explain what is incomprehensible from an organic-mind perspective -- and because it is politically promoted as the only answer to the equation -- while all other (opposing) positions either rejected, and/or even condemned as heresy -- then there can be no movement beyond that very low level carnal understanding, until the marriage of opposites is instituted.  From a biblical perspective, a linear construct and pattern that supports linear reasoning, can very much be portrayed as a same-sex union -- as can an intuitive perspective that supports intuitive reasoning.   From a biblical perspective, same sex unions are an abomination, because such unions squander away one's inheritance -- i.e., one's vital life-force -- with nothing gained and no development brought about.   Growth and development cannot be brought about, unless you first have a marriage of the linear and intuitive opposites in support of the third-force balance of higher mind development.    An example being that from a Christian perspective, without understanding how man can manifest Creator-God in the flesh -- which necessitated a rejection of the original Gospel message  (see TheTenWords.com ) -- Church dogma has made it impossible for the congregation of believers to follow in TheWay, subjecting them to a fate where believers will remain perpetually flat-lined from a spiritual perspective.    

In ancient times, one of the primary purposes of religion was the political control of the people.   If you opposed the leaders of the Jews, you would be stoned.   If you opposed the Romans, you could get crucified.   A recent EPA official was forced to resign by suggesting that the EPA deals with farmers in a similar manner that the Romans conquered towns and villages (see CNN) when he was quoted as explaining: "like when the Romans conquered the villages in the Mediterranean. They'd go into little villages in Turkish towns and they'd find the first five guys they saw and crucify them."    Anyone who opposed the ideology of the emperor, was immediately dealt with.   And since the emperor was the vicar of God -- and even promoted as God manifest in the earth -- to oppose the religion of the emperor, was to oppose God -- and as a heretic, was immediately dealt with.  In the fourth century the two most powerful religions were Mithraism and a very pagan form of Christianity -- and as the political leader of the empire, Constantine synthesized the two into one religion, in order to bring about a peaceful harmony in the empire.   And because the Spiritual Christians -- along with the Ebionite Nazirenes -- refused to embrace the religion of the emperor -- they were hunted down as heretics -- their scriptures destroyed -- and important original Gospel teachings were declared to be heresy, and were edited out of the Churches official (Canonical) version of the scriptures (see http://BibleCorruption.com ).  

The result was that the consciousness and the reasoning of the leaders of the Church was not only carnal -- but must be evaluated as low-level heathen that totally lacked development.  To the degree that it can be said that superstition was probably on a higher rung of the intellectual ladder, than their thinking and mindset.    And that their dogmatic doctrines of belief continues to be promoted by a clergy who lives off the collection plate of the superstitious, is the reality of our Churches today.   But the problem is that the the intellectuals in our educational systems are totally linear -- having developed in an environment where the intuitive is totally suppressed -- resulting in the self-castrating environment where the inner workings of the Cosmology of Mind that is necessary to understand the Laws and Forces of Consciousness that must be developed, does not exist in our modern quasi-intellectual world.   And while there can be no growth in the traditional dogmatic religious world -- or the traditional philosophy and ideology of the pseudo-intellectual word of the educrats who dogmatically rule over the thinking of our educational institutions -- only those who properly apply the Key of Knowledge, can possess the wisdom and insight to bring about the objective of walking in TheWay -- escaping what was portrayed by Jesus as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness ), or in the parallel  analogy of the illusions of Plato's Cave.

The Key Of Knowledge

Prologue To The Key Of Knowledge: The word prologue literally means: Before Logos -- and when properly understood, Christians are being denied access to the (Indwelling) Logos because the Pagan Church of 4^th Century Rome threw away the Key of Knowledge -- resulting in the total alienation of the community of believers from the path they must travel in TheWay, to enter the Presence of the Logos/Son of God -- enabling them to learn all Truths directly from the Source.   When biblical scholar and Dead Sea Scroll expert A. Powell Davies attempted to warn the Christian world that “Biblical scholars were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been” -- and another scholar expert Prof. John Allegro stated that the Dead Sea Scrolls provide overwhelming evidence that “...may upset a great many basic teachings of the Christian Church.   This in turn would greatly upset many Christian Theologians and believers.   The heart of the matter is, in fact, the source and originality of Christian doctrine” -- what the biblical scholars confirmed is the fact that the dogmatic doctrines of the Church has virtually nothing in common with the core teachings and objectives of the Original Gospel Message of the Good News!   But in view of the fact that the original followers of Jesus were all hunted down as heretics, it should come as no surprise that modern Christianity has virtually nothing in common with both the pre-Nicene Church, or the original teachings of TheWay.

 Can these assertions be proven using the scriptures?   Most definitely!!!   And one of the prime examples of the fact that modern Church dogmatic doctrine has absolutely nothing in common with the original teachings and objectives of the Gospel, is seen in the statement of Jesus condemning the Pharisees for throwing away the Key of Knowledge.   And exactly what was it that Jesus said?   "How terrible it will be for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering" (Luke 11:52 NLT).  

While the Christians, like the Jews before them who threw away the Key of Knowledge, look for the Kingdom to come upon the earth, the Gospel itself states that the Kingdom will never come upon the earth, because it is within you -- and it is therein that you must seek it: "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21).   If it is true and the Kingdom is within you, then the question that Christians should be asking, is how must it be entered?   The answer is the proper application of the Key of Knowledge by turning the scriptures within your own mind and being -- i.e., "How terrible it will be for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering" (Luke 11:52).  Thus, in understanding these words spoken to the Pharisees, the questions must be asked: How did the Pharisees and Jewish authorities "...hide the key to knowledge from the people"?   Why did Jesus condemn the leaders of the Jews for failing to enter the Kingdom themselves? -- i.e., "...You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves"!   And how did the religious leaders of the Jews"...prevent others from entering?"   That the primary objective of the Gospel is to prepare and enable the seeker/disciple to enter the Kingdom, is further demonstrated in Jesus' condemnation of the blind religious leaders as seen in the words: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to" (Matt 23:13 NIV).  Which means that the Kingdom of God is not something that will come is we wait for it -- but rather, it is a reality which man must seek and find -- within himself.   

Taking the above one step further, I fully realize that many Bible translations simply refuse to interpret Luke 17:21 correctly.   In analysis of this great biblical controversy, Robertson’s Word Pictures of the New Testament writes: “What Jesus says to the Pharisees is that they, as others, are to look for the kingdom of God within themselves, not in outward displays and supernatural manifestations. It is not a localized display ‘Here’ or ‘There.’ It is in this sense that in Luke 11:20 Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God as ‘come upon you,’ speaking to Pharisees”.   The article then goes on to add that the only other instance of the Greek word “entos” being used in the New Testament, is at Matthew 23:26, where the Pharisees are told to clean “the inside of the cup”.   Moreover, the Wescott and Hort Greek text, as well as most other authorities, render the translation of this word: “inside of you is”.   Which means that the original teachings of TheWay was a system whereby the seeker/disciple takes the yoke of Messiah/Christ upon themselves -- picking up their own cross and travailing in TheWay -- which enables the disciple to enter through the "narrow gate" and dwell in the Kingdom, while still physically alive in the body -- overcoming the division of heaven and earth within the person -- i.e., the Lord commanded his followers to "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NIV).    Because the Church threw away the Key of Knowledge, and adopted pagan dogmatic doctrines of belief, the Christian world sits idly complacent on the side of the "broad-way  ...that leads to destruction" -- giving lip service and worshiping their brother, that they must themselves imitate, in order to enter into Life.    And it was for this reason that the Adam Clark Commentary stated that if the original Gospel portrayal of the historical man Jesus was correct, that "...the whole Christian system is vain and baseless"!!! (see The Ten Words).  
 The True Reality Of The Scriptures: While the scriptures when used for their intended purpose as the Key of Knowledge -- and this is especially true of the Gospels -- are the most important writings available to mankind in his quest for Knowledge and the Ultimate Answers to all of Life -- the fact that manmade pagan dogma was forced on the Church by the sword of Roman Emperors, and in its present spiritually defiled condition has rendered the Church spiritually impotent -- is the purpose of this writing is to bring about the goal of restoring the Gospel teachings of Jesus and TheWay to their former place of Anointed Honor.   The Didache states: There are two ways, one of life and one of death -- the way of this world leads the person down the"broad-way of self-destruction" -- as does also manmade dogma -- but, when the scriptures are used in accord with their original intention and objectives as the Key of Knowledge, they are able to open the inner "narrow strait gate" that provides entrance for the prodigal son and daughter to return to the Kingdom.

The Esoteric Reality Of Virginity And Sex

In an interview, Olympic contender 29-year-old track and field star Lori “Lolo” Jones tells HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel that she has yet to have sex because it’s “a gift I want to give my husband” (see Interview and Article).   Yet, if the esoteric reality of sex and marriage is understood, the truth of the matter is that if Lori Jones continues down this path, she could very well be one of the few American women who are actually married -- and therefore, able to reap the spiritual rewards of a Spiritual Marriage.

The problem with the Bible is seen in the fact that it attempts to convey and impart spiritual wisdom and knowledge to people at all levels of their development.   One of the most important messages that totally escapes the comprehension of the reader of the Bible, is the fact that man in his "natural" condition of mind is incapable of understanding his own higher soul-reality and the Kingdom (see Mystery Of The Gospels).    Resulting in the reality that the biblical authors and spiritually mature mystics and visionaries find themselves forced into the position where they must dictate a certain behavior or requirement, without being able to convey to the reader/seeker why a certain behavior will negatively impact them.

Only now has modern physics begun to evolve to the level where the scientific reason why the biblical authors condemned sex outside of marriage can be understood.   Why does the scriptures condemn sex outside of marriage?   Fortunately, many of the esoteric realities of body, mind and spirit that could not be taught 2000 years ago, can now be openly stated in the present -- and the most important reasons are explored at the subheading entitled The Holographic Pattern Of Sex.   Resulting in the fact that the revelation of this spiritual knowledge at this present time, opens the door of our modern cultural Pandora's Box -- i.e., quoting the article Lilith - The Demonic Reality Of The Modern Feminist Movement: To engage in a behavior that you are totally ignorant of the consequences, is to walk blindfolded into freeway traffic -- to play Russian Roulette with a loaded revolver -- is to walk barefoot in a pit of poisonous vipers.    While this present article was written many years ago, there is a section in the newly authored article The Three Lies entitled Man And Woman as the Cosmic Ovum And Sperm, that will present to the reader important knowledge that has been censored -- and that is generally unknown to our modern culture.    Why does the Bible reject unmarried sex?   Why did Jesus even condemn visual lust played out in one's mind?   Why is casual sex prohibited in the scriptures?    Not to know the answers to these questions, is to walk blindfolded into heavy freeway traffic.    Knowledge is Power -- and when proper knowledge is applied to one's life, the person becomes empowered to prevail over all forces in opposition to one's success.   The informed mind can succeed, where the uninformed and ignorant will fail.

When Jesus went beyond the Old Testament prohibitions against fornication and adultery -- stating that one should not even look upon a person who is not one's spouse with lust -- there was a bio-physical, mental and spiritual reason for this prohibition as explored in The Holographic Pattern Of Sex.    As is demonstrated in the article on Ann Coulter - The Fine Print, to their own demise modern Christians are of the opinion that Jesus didn't really mean what he said and taught -- and they are somehow free to live and believe in any manner that suits them, without ramifications.   Which is a dogmatic position that is totally rebuked in TheLie.   Lolo Jones is doing a great service to others, by living by Gospel principles and setting the proper example for others.    And she might actually be one of the few Christian women are are truly married in the Eyes of God.
