Achieving Birth Through Wholeness
In the same way that birth can only take place when a sperm and ovum join, evolve into a fetus into the level of achieving birth, what is true in the physical, is also true on the mental level of birth, and also the spiritual level of birth -- i.e., birth can only be brought about through the threefold interaction of Male and Female at that Level. Therefore, in the allegorical Genesis account, Eve/Woman was not created separately -- but was instead drawn from, and separated from Adam/Man as personified the the allegorical account, so the Male and Female polarities of Mind which are manifest in Man and Woman could interact, evolve and achieve the subsequent stages of birth. Why was Eve/Woman drawn from AdamEve, instead of created separately? So the two polarities of Mind could interact, evolve, and bring about the necessary subsequent stages of birth by achieving Mental and Spiritual Wholeness. As stated by Jesus: "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand" (Mark 3:25). Wholeness enables each soul to be restored to the Edenic Kingdom and reunited to the Divine Mind as was the case of Jesus. And this Fact with respect to the Purpose of Life and Birth is further presented in the Amplified Bible Translation which better captures the meaning in the words: "Jesus answered him, I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.” Which provokes a number of questions: How is a person "born from above"? How is a person "spiritually transformed"? Jesus taught that the Kingdom will never come outwardly as the Jews and modern Christians look for it, because the Kingdom is within you as stated by Jesus in the words: "nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21). Which means that the kingdom must come when the sincere seeker of Truth achieves the necessary Wholeness of Mind and Being that enables the seeker to achieve the subsequent stages of birth. Jesus Taught his followers how to fulfill the Law Spiritually, and achieve the Anointing/Christing of their Mind (see Jesus Taught To Become The Christ http://lawofthegospels.ebionite.com/#BecomeTheChrist ) -- as Jesus himself predicted when he stated: "Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these" (John 14:12). Those who experience the transformative "birth from above" that brings about the process of mental-development and spiritual-deepening that is brought about by fulfilling the Laws of God and living in accord with the spiritually-holistic lifestyle that Jesus taught (see The Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle http://brotherofjesus.org/#TheSpiritualHolisticLifestyle ). Which means that those in the manner of the scribes and Pharisees observe the Law outwardly in ritual and tradition -- as well as the modern Christians who reject the Law as Jesus originally taught, fail to bring about the subsequent stages of birth, and cause their own failure when they physically die and experience what can be portrayed as a Spiritual Miscarriage (see below http://divinemarriage.nazirene.org/#FailureOfBirth ). The Fact of Life is that you must achieve the subsequent stages of birth while you are still in the physical body -- as stated in the suppressed teaching of the Gospel of Philip where it states: "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live, they will not receive anything (when) they die". If you physically die prior to achieving the subsequent stages of birth through the symbolism of the Resurrection, then you cannot be resurrected in your afterlife. And while this Fact of Life is understood in the pre-Nicene teachings on the pre-existent soul that evolves to Wholeness and Perfection over the course of many lives (see Pre-Nicene Church Taught Reincarnation http://reincarnation.nazirene.org/#PreNiceneChurch ), the dogmatic teaching of Original Sin inhibits the necessary development of mind that enables the seeker to advance and bring about the subsequent stages of birth (see Original Sin Rejects Gospel Teachings http://lawofthegospels.ebionite.com/#OriginalSinRejectsGospel ). And this is why Jesus warned the body of complacent believers who fail to fulfill the Laws of Birth: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" (Matt 7:21-23). When Jesus made note of the "lawless", it was to bring attention to the Fact that only those who fulfill the Spiritual Law that he revealed to his original followers, could achieve the subsequent stages of birth and the Resurrection from the Death of this World -- i.e., "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead” (Matt 8:21-22).
The Facts and Purpose of the Life we are presently living are embodied in the statement that "...the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it ...For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs" -- and if all of creation "...groans and labors with birth pangs" , then every person who has ever walked the face of the earth is in the process of achieving the subsequent stages of birth. Which indicates that the very purpose of the life that each person is presently living, is to bring about the subsequent stages of spiritual "birth from above". And that it is within each person's ability to fulfill the Natural Laws of God, is further established when Jesus taught that the subsequent stages of birth are brought about by those who seek Wholeness -- as confirmed in the words: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17). Before this verse can be understood we must first understand what it means to be Whole. Which provokes the question: How is Wholeness achieved? The answer is by fulfilling the Law within one's own mind and being as Jesus affirmed. And what this means is that, contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong, and those who are Whole do not need him. And as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who are Whole, but only for those who are sick and in need of a physician.
When Nicodemus further questioned Jesus about the need to achieve the subsequent stages of birth, Jesus replies: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness" (John 3:11). Thus, by virtue of his words, Jesus is not speaking only of himself -- i.e., in the singular -- but rather, he is speaking in the plural with respect to the higher reality that ALL who evolve to Wholeness by fulfilling the Law, and achieve the subsequent stages of birth, can witness to the Kingdom coming within their own Mind and Being. And when Nicodemus still did not understand what Jesus was stating with respect to the need to bring about the subsequent stages of birth from above, Jesus stated that Nicodemus was yet too carnal and immature to comprehend -- i.e., "...If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" And this higher reality remains as true today, as when Jesus stated these words to Nicodemus: Organic man who does not understand the need to bring about the subsequent stages of Soul and Spiritual Births, are incapable of understanding the "...heavenly things" -- and even fail to understand the esoteric reality of what Jesus portrayed as "...earthly things".
