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.

Bob Beckel - The Plight Of The Typical Naive & Misinformed Liberal

In listening to the FoxNews program The Five, Bob Beckel who is the epitome of the naive and uninformed liberal, expressed shock that the Muslims killed innocent Christians and burned their Church.   In his typical misinformed ranting Bob exclaims: Your Prophet does not want you to murder innocent people!  Which provokes the intelligent mind to pose the question: If Bob Beckel's position is correct, then why do the Muslims kill not only Christians and Jews, but innocent people of all faiths and cultures?   Are they disobeying their Prophet, as Bob proclaims?  

When rightly understood, Bob's proclamation to the Muslim world is in fact completely opposite to the very source of Islam beliefs -- i.e., the Qur'an proclaims to the Muslim believers: "Slay them wherever you find them...Idolatry is worse than carnage...Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme." (Surah 2:190-) "Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it." (Surah 2:216) "Seek out your enemies relentlessly." (Surah 4:103-) "...make war on the leaders of unbelief...Make war on them: God will chastise them at your hands and humble them. He will grant you victory over them..." (Surah 9:12-) "It is He who has sent forth His apostle with guidance and the true Faith [Islam] to make it triumphant over all religions, however much the idolaters [non-Muslims] may dislike it." (Surah 9:31-) "If you do not fight, He will punish you sternly, and replace you by other men." (Surah 9:37-).

In the article The Myth Of The Moderate Muslim, I raise the important questions that naive liberals such as Bob Beckel remain ignorant of: Is there such a thing as a moderate Muslim?   Every Muslim -- even the most moderately sincere -- is carrying with him a ticking time-bomb that is an immanent danger to all non-Muslims.   Why?   Because the very Qur'an that the moderate Muslim shares with even his family and friends -- the book that they deem the holy words of their god -- calls for the death and destruction of all non-Muslims as the highest expression of the practice of Islam (see If You Repeat A Lie, Does It Become Truth?).  And as long as political correctness permits the great Muslim lie to be perpetuated, then every Muslim is a potential ticking time-bomb.   And with respect to telling a lie, unlike Jesus who commanded let your yes be yes, and your no be no -- the Qur'an deems it a good thing to lie to the non-believers in order to fool them.

In the original Lethal Weapon movie a perplexed Danny Glover turns to Mel Gibson and asks: Should we register you as a lethal weapon?  And while the liberals are noted for their staunch position on gun control, they continually promote the most dangerous lethal weapon known to man -- and that is a religion such as Islam that promotes the death and destruction of all those outside the cult, as the practice of the religion itself. Any Muslim who opens the Qur'an that he believes is the word of God, is given the instructions that "Fighting is obligatory for you [and] ...If you do not fight, He will punish you sternly, and replace you by other men."   Therefore, every Muslim walking down the street carrying the Qur'an, is in fact carrying a potential lethal weapon -- and with the hope of the Mullah's in Iran of the dawning of day when they will be able to unleash the mass destruction of atomic weapons against Israel and The Great Satan (the US), naive liberals such as Bob Beckel is very much a danger to all Americans. 

 

Are Mormons Christian?

In a recent ABC interview with Pastor Rick Warren, the question was asked with respect to Mitt Romney as to whether mainstream Churches could accept Mormons as fellow Christians?   In answering, Rick Warren stated: "Well, the key sticking point for evangelicals and actually for many is the issue of the Trinity" (see Interview) -- which in essence means that while the Mormons hold to the original teachings of Jesus, mainstream Christianity holds to the man-made dogma of pagan Rome.   When rightly understood, what we are presented with is the manifestation of the statement by James W. Loewen that while "People have a right to their own opinions, but not to their own facts. Evidence must be located, not created, and opinions not backed by evidence cannot be given much weight" -- and while the facts demonstrate that Mormonism is actually closer to the original Gospel teachings and objectives, mainstream Christianity has been in denial of the very facts that they have long censored and remain in denial of, to the degree that those who believe they are Christian, have been spiritually disenfranchised by the very Church they look to for truth.

The historical fact is that the original Gospels taught that Jesus was a true holy man who became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) at his baptism in the Jordan (see The Ten Words).   But, in order to force the Church to conform to Roman and Greek Mithraic dogma, the doctrine of the Trinity which is not supported by the scriptures (see Adoption Of The Trinity), was literally forced upon the Church -- and those who rejected the religion of the emperor of Rome, were hunted down as heretics and murdered.    Which means that Pastor Warren's position was that the Mormon Church was flawed, because they reject the dogma of Roman emperors, and hold to original Gospel teachings.     

Perhaps even more important is to understand the answer to the question that Pastor Warren was not asked -- i.e., why did Joseph Smith teach against the Trinity?   Because, in order to restore the original objectives of the Gospel, the mindset and perspective of life in this world had to be restored -- i.e., "...this school house in which [God's] children are being educated... if they pursue the proper course, until they shall become divine beings themselves" -- not only restores the concept of Religion As The True System Of Education -- but also the original teaching that each of us are the brothers and sisters of the historical man Jesus as demonstrated in his words: "Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God'" (John 20:17 NIV).  And these words could only be spoken by a man who fulfilled the Law within himself as witnessed by the original followers of Jesus (see Witness).

One of the most important original concepts in the above is seen in the words: "...if they pursue the proper course, until they shall become divine beings themselves" -- and because of the adoption of Roman pagan dogma, it has become near impossible for the modern Christian to "...pursue the proper course".    Not only is this world God's Schoolhouse -- with  Religion As The True System Of Education -- but Jesus taught that his followers and disciples must seek to learn only from the One Teacher which the earliest of Christians portrayed as The True Prophet.    But, because mainstream Christians have permitted themselves to be shackled by Roman pagan dogma, fulfilling this important original Gospel teaching has become impossible.   And thus, the Christian world is faith-based -- unable to fulfill the original Gospel objectives -- because they remain shackled by the dogma of pagan Rome.   

While the mainstream Churches have the (Constitutional) right to believe anything they want -- and, in the words of James W. Loewen, they "...have a right to their own opinions" -- the fact that they have attempted to support their dogmatic opinions on contrived facts and a series of corrupted biblical manuscripts which serve to support the 4th century dogma of pagan Rome, is responsible for their questioning of the beliefs of Mitt Romney who as a Mormon, is closer to the original Gospel teachings than the very Churches which condemn Mormonism as a cult. 

Jefferson's Bible And Our Constitutional Foundation

Few Americans -- and especially Christians -- understand why Pres. Thomas Jefferson stripped all the miraculous accounts out of his Bible which has become historically known as The Jefferson Bible.   From a Christian perspective, Jefferson is seen as having cut out the best parts -- and from a purely spiritual perspective, this is indeed their folly.   As an Enlightened Deist living in 18th century America, Jefferson was simply not able to convey to the people the whole story as to why he removed all supernatural accounts from the pages of his Bible.    But even today, the confusion continues as both critic and proponent lack the true insight necessary to understand why Jefferson did what he did.

For many of the same reasons presented in the article The Outer Darkness Of Mind And Being, it was virtually impossible for Jefferson to reveal his true source of knowledge -- and for the most part, this remains true even today.   While the vast majority of mankind -- as well as their religious, political, philosophical and cultural leaders, remain totally earth-bound and carnal in their thinking and perception -- unable to see beyond what would be portrayed as the illusions of Plato's Cave -- there have in every generation been a very small number of seekers and visionaries who have developed the ability to perceive beyond the barrier of this physical world, and directly access a higher source of knowledge and wisdom that remains totally unknown to the vast majority of mankind and his counterfeit religious and political leaders.

One of the realities that is not at all understood by those whose mind and thinking is subject to what Jesus portrayed as the world of illusions in the "outer darkness" of mind and being, is the reality that Deists such as Jefferson rejected the manmade dogma of Roman Emperors (see Spiritual Castration Of The Church) that was the foundation of Church doctrine -- and as enlightened seekers, Deists believed in the pre-existent soul that evolves to perfection and completion over the course of many lifetimes (Deist Beliefs On Reincarnation) -- this enlightened understanding was brought about through the process of developing their minds to enable themselves to access the inner Source of Knowledge that Jesus taught was the One Teacher that his disciples and followers must seek out (see The True Prophet).     In other words, Jefferson, as well as virtually all the core Deists who were the framers of our Constitutional form of Government (see American Spirituality), all believed that while the teachings of Jesus were representative of The Truth and TheWay, because of the corrupting influences of the Church, few Christians possessed the necessary depth of understanding to comprehend these important teachings, and thereby fulfill the true spiritual objectives which are represented in the core Gospel teachings and spiritual concepts.   Quoting the Wikipedia under Deism: History of religion and the deist mission.   Most deists saw the religions of their day as corruptions of an original, pure religion that was simple and rational. They felt that this original pure religion had become corrupted by "priests" who had manipulated it for personal gain and for the class interests of the priesthood in general.   According to this world view, over time "priests" had succeeded in encrusting the original simple, rational religion with all kinds of superstitions and "mysteries" – irrational theological doctrines. Laymen were told by the priests that only the priests really knew what was necessary for salvation and that laymen must accept the "mysteries" on faith and on the priests' authority. This kept the laity baffled by the nonsensical "mysteries", confused, and dependent on the priests for information about the requirements for salvation. The priests consequently enjoyed a position of considerable power over the laity, which they strove to maintain and increase. Deists referred to this kind of manipulation of religious doctrine as "priestcraft", a highly derogatory term.  Deists saw their mission as the stripping away of "priestcraft" and "mysteries" from religion, thereby restoring religion to its original, true condition – simple and rational. In many cases, they considered true, original Christianity to be the same as this original natural religion.

Were the Deists right?   A simple reading of The Ten Minute Test, demonstrates conclusively that every tenet of Church dogma is openly rejected and condemned in the New Testament as Spiritual Apostasy that rejects the true message of Christ.   And yet, it is this same dogma that continues to be preached from every pulpit across the Nation.   Which demonstrate the Deist position that the majority of Christians are not at all seekers of Truth -- but rather, are Christians because of their belief in the supernatural and the hope of a reward for merely believing.   Yet, as a soul who was himself a first-century follower of the historical man Jesus, when Jefferson tapped into this inner source of knowledge that Jesus taught to seek out (see The True Prophet) and learn directly from the One Teacher that revealed all Truths to the mind of the seeker/disciple, Jefferson perceived the folly of manmade pagan Church dogma.

As someone who was myself an 18th century personal friend of Thomas Jefferson in that life, what Jefferson knew that other Christians do not, is a spiritual reality revealed only in the article An Inconvenient Truth.   The question is this: Would the biblical authors have written esoteric truths that the entry-level Christians were totally incapable of comprehending (see Mystery Of The Gospel)??  Would they have written esoteric truths that the pseudo-shepherds would have condemned as heresy -- and immediately corrupted the written word (see http://BibleCorruption.com )???   No -- and for this reason the enlightened Jefferson was shown by the One Teacher that Jesus taught to seek out, that the miracles and supernatural events reported in the Gospels never actually happened -- and these accounts were presented in this allegorical manner, in order to preserve and protect the important esoteric teachings which they concealed within the body of the written text -- which is the only reason they exist undisturbed today.

True Spiritual Christians and Genuine Seekers of Truth have long realized that while the common belief in Reincarnation is a Counterfeit Doctrine, what was actually taught by Jesus and the pre-Nicene Christian Church was the higher reality of the Pre-Existent Soul (see The Early Church On Predestination) -- and that Spiritual Christians who succeed in escaping the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness), must come to terms with the reality of what can only be portrayed as the Spiritual Castration Of The Church by the Roman Emperors who outlawed the teaching on the Pre-Existent Soul.

Thomas Jefferson understood that only those who live in accord with the teachings of Jesus, could be counted as genuine believers.   And that while great numbers of people would claim to believe based upon supernatural events, miracles, and the promise of reward -- such things were for the most part self-serving -- and only those who believed and did good for no other reason than doing good, would themselves inherit the promise of the scriptures.   Mankind is portrayed as the lost prodigal sons -- and the key to escaping the cloud of ignorance which envelops and enslaves the people of this world, is to become a servant.   And it is impossible to be a servant while you are motivated by the idea of receiving a reward -- and only those who are motivated to do good for the sake of doing good, while manifesting Truth and Light while in this world, can inherit the promise of the Gospel.   The true followers and believers in the Gospel are those who do as Jesus taught -- i.e., "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven" (Mt 5:16).

As a man of Enlightened Reason, Jefferson also knew that the important esoteric knowledge could only be revealed to those who were portrayed as being In The House -- and that because institutionalized religion always corrupted the sacred writings in order to promote their own self-serving dogma, that what is portrayed as the Key of Knowledge could be employed in order to conceal and safeguard this important foundation of esoteric knowledge within the allegory of miracles and supernatural accounts that would be preserved from the corrupting influences of institutional secularized religion.    Yet, the key to escaping the Outer Darkness and the Illusions of Plato's Cave, were greatly dependent upon the perpetual observance of the teachings based upon Jesus' Sermon On The Mount (see Gift On The Altar).   And from the perspective of what is necessary, the allegorical account of miracles and supernatural events, was more of a distraction from the true essence of the Gospel message.


  

The Outer Darkness Of Mind And Being

While doing some research on the interpretation of the long ignored Gospel phrase of the "outer darkness", I sent the following to a ministry pertaining to their web page on this subject.   What I wrote is an applicable invitation to all those who call themselves Christians.

Shalom Jack Kelly & Grace Through Faith Ministries:

I happened across your web page on the Outer Darkness (click to access), and encountered a deep-seated spiritual oxymoron that you might wish to reconsider. You write: The problem I’ve had in researching this is there’s no general agreement among scholars as to what it is, where it is, or for whom it’s intended either. There’s also no agreement as to whether it’s a physical location or a state of being. The phrase outer darkness literally means, “outside, where there’s no light”. The Greek word for darkness can be used metaphorically to mean obscurity, which is the condition of being unknown. And there’s also a sense in which spiritual ignorance or blindness can apply. An accompanying phrase describes it as a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth, which denotes extreme anguish and utter despair. No matter what else you think about it, the Outer Darkness is definitely not a nice place to be.

The problem is that you are at a great disadvantage in your attempt to comprehend this important condition of mind and being -- and you are primarily disadvantaged because over the last 1700 years or so, many important teachings and concepts have either been corrupted (see http://BibleCorruption.com ), and/or dogmatically obscured. The primary spiritual oxymoron in the above statement is in your words: "...there’s no general agreement among scholars as to what it is" -- and this is true because those who you portray as scholars and experts, are among those who dwell in the "outer darkness" of mind and being. In the Gospel account, Jesus commands his disciples not to be called teacher, because there is One Teacher -- and it is this One Teacher that is the only True Source of Knowledge. And today's Churches are faith-based, because the Church long ago threw away the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ) in the manner of the carnal Jews who Jesus portrayed as blind guides. And why were they blind guides? Because they threw away the Key of Knowledge -- and in their carnal interpretations of the scriptures, they obstructed the seekers quest to enter the (inner) Kingdom. The earliest disciples and followers of Jesus portrayed the One Teacher as the True Prophet (see http://TheThreeLies.com#TrueProphet ) -- and in the words of Peter to his disciple Clement: “Hence, O beloved Clement, if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows anything, he has received it from Him or from His disciples” And sadly, these words are as true today, as when they were originally spoken.

To what degree are the above words of Peter true? Peter is again quoted in the following subheading entitled The Spiritual Disenfranchisement Of The Mind where he states: "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind. For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". And what this means is that because all of mankind who are of what Paul portrays as the "natural" organic mind (see Mystery Of the Gospel), all dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- i.e., the lost prodigal sons who dwell under the mindset and control of the "Citizen... of the Far Country". And this is why Peter warns not to take any interpretation of the scriptures from "without" -- i.e., . "...For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without." Why? Because the scriptures are composed and written in the language of the soul -- and it is impossible for those who dwell in the "outer darkness" of mind and being to comprehend the meaning. And just as important in the above words is the warning that when the scriptures are read, "....it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind. For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. Why? Because the true meaning of the scriptures can only be revealed to those who have escaped that condition of mind portrayed as the "outer darkness" -- and no longer dwell "without".

Actually, the meaning of the reality of this world -- i.e., the Far Country --' is portrayed exactly in your interpretation provided in the words: “outside, where there’s no light”. And this reality of dark unknowing is explored in the article An Inconvenient Truth -- and more specifically at the subheading entitled In The House - Taught In Parables - The Inner Kingdom & The Key Of Knowledge. And what this means is that the salvation of the Gospel was given to those who pick up their own cross and travail in TheWay -- thereby becoming what is portrayed as The Final Temple -- which enables the seeker/disciple to "enter the House with the Lord"!!! There is no salvation for those who call upon the name of the Lord with their lips, while remaining "without" (outside). Because my brother Jesus came to call the lost prodigal sons and daughters out of this world -- i.e., the Far Country -- and return to the Kingdom from which they originally emerged (see http://GateOfEden.com ) -- yet, those who do not come to TheCall, cannot inherit the Promise of the Gospel. The problem is that so long as they remain "without" in the "outer darkness" of mind and being, they have neither remembrance of their more distant past -- even during that time when they dwelt in the Kingdom -- and neither are they able to see and perceive with any clarity or Enlightened Light. And thus, as the Gospel account states, "...there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt 22:12-14 NKJ)

It is important to recognize that faith without actions did not save the person who had come to the feast and TheCall, from his fate of being thrown out into the "outer darkness". As can be seen in the words:"So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt 22:12-14 NKJ). The "wedding garment", is the garment of spiritual purity which is fulfilled when the seeker/disciple fulfills the Law within himself, and becomes The Final Temple. And there is a big difference between what is portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness), and what Jesus portrayed as The Prison.

As a Christian you should be cognizant of the first part of the parable of TheCall -- i..e, "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come" (Matt 22:2-3 NKJV). As a Christian you were provided the greater opportunity to be among the invited, and these words are spoken to you. And in the parable, those who had been invited, but remained consumed by the cares of this world, were dealt much more harshly than those who were cast into the "outer darkness". And this is why Peter wrote that the fate of the complacent Christians is far worse than even the unbelievers and common sinners (see Fate Worse). And as can be seen in The Ten Minute Test, Paul portrays those who come to the knowledge of TheWay, and turn back to the thinking, lifestyle and ways of this world, as "apostates" to the Kingdom -- of whom there can be no sacrifice for their salvation. Quoting An American Tragedy Perpetuated: Jesus warned that those confined to what he portrayed as The Prison, cannot be released until they have paid back their last debt -- i.e., “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26 - see The Prison). While those who have not themselves picked up their own cross and travailed in TheWay in imitation of the Pattern of Christ, perpetually dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- totally blind to their more distant past that has invoked the Laws that has orchestrated the life that they are presently living. And that the modern Church remains a victim of what can only be rightly portrayed as the Stockholm Syndrome -- embracing the very dogmatic ignorance that was literally forced upon the Church by the Emperors of Pagan Rome (see The Government Intrusion And Takeover Of The Church) -- has had the effect of shackling the Christian world in a Spiritual Diaspora of Ignorance from which they have yet to even begin to emerge.

Now, you need not remain confined and shackled in the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- and if you begin to live the necessary Consecrated Life that enables you to put on the "wedding garment", there is a place for you and all Christians In The House at the Table of the Lord. But to come to TheCall, you will have to let loose of the thinking and mindset of the pseudo-scholars of this world, the counterfeit teachers and leaders, and seek to learn ONLY from the True Prophet. In fact, the plight of the modern Christian is exactly portrayed in the most used scripture of the early Gentile Christians which was known as The Shepherd Of Hermas -- and I will quote from the subheading The Mystery Of The Gospel:

(quoting)

In the introduction of the early Christian writing known as the Shepard of Hermas, it is written: “The Pastor of Hermas was one of the most popular books, if not the most popular book, in the Christian Church during the second, third, and fourth centuries... In ancient times two opinions prevailed in regard to the authorship. The most widely spread was, that the Pastor of Hermas was the production of the Hermas mentioned in the Epistle to the Romans. Origen states this opinion distinctly, and it is repeated by Eusebius and Jerome”. If, then, it is true that the Pastor of Hermas was one of the most important scriptural authorities over the first four centuries, then we can use it in our endeavor to better understand the essence of early Christian thought. What the Shepherd of Hermas has to say is very important to us today, because it represents the scriptural tradition that was taught directly to the faithful flock by the Apostles of Christ. Thus, on the nature of scripture, in the Shepherd we find: “I am senseless, sir, say I, and do not understand these parables. For how she can crush out, and on the other hand save, I do not perceive. Listen, says he. Those who have never searched for the truth, nor investigated the nature of the Divinity, but have simply believed, when they devote themselves to and become mixed up with business, and wealth, and heathen friendships, and many other actions of this world, do not perceive the parables of Divinity; for their minds are darkened by these actions, and they are corrupted and become dried up. Even as beautiful vines, when they are neglected, are withered up by thorns and divers plants, so men who have believed, and have afterwards fallen away into many of those actions above mentioned, go astray in their minds, and lose all understanding in regard to righteousness; for if they hear of righteousness, their minds are occupied with their business, and they give no heed at all. Those, on the other hand, who have the fear of God, and search after Godhead and truth, and have their hearts turned to the Lord, quickly perceive and understand what is said to them, because they have the fear of the Lord in them. For where the Lord dwells, there is much understanding. Cleave, then, to the Lord, and you will understand and perceive all things”.

The message that is very clear from this early Christian writing is that it is impossible to mature spiritually, while attempting to divide oneself between the two worlds. In our present day culture we are living proof as to the validity of the wisdom that is portrayed in this writing -- i.e., one cannot perceive the true meaning of the parables and the inner significance of the historical narrative of the scriptures, while one devotes their lives to their “business, and wealth, and heathen friendships, and many other actions of this world”-- which would include the whole array of addictions provided by all the many leisure’s and entertainments that captivate and control our every-day lives. Further, do we truly do unto others as we would want others to do unto us -- i.e., do we send our children (the souls who were placed in our care) off to government secularized schools to become imbued with the thinking, mindset and lifestyle of the heathen culture in which we presently live? In the Shepherd of Hermas a reference is made to a tower, of which it is written: “And the tower, I asked, what does it mean? This tower, he replied, is the Church. And these virgins, who are they? They are Holy Spirits, and men cannot otherwise be found in the kingdom of God unless these have put their clothing upon them: for if you receive the name only, and do not receive from them the clothing, they are of no advantage to you. For these virgins are the powers of the Son of God. If you bear His name but possess not His power, it will be in vain that you bear His name”.In understanding what is written, it is most important for us to be aware of the continual message found in the words:“If you bear His name but possess not His power, it will be in vain that you bear His name”.Thus, if you call yourselves Christian, but fail to purify and develop your mind and body from the defilements of this world -- and do not possess the true Knowledge of the Spiritual Christ -- and have not yourselves inherited the same higher powers of mind that the Son of God promised all his followers would possess -- then “it will be in vain that you bear His name”. And again, this is demonstrated in the words spoken to those who believed upon the coming of the Lord, and even called upon his name, but had failed to bring with them the oil of purification, where it was stated: "Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you"

As a Servant of TheWay who has been sent forth to make TheCall in our present time, the above is the Invitation given directly to you and the Christian world.

An American Tragedy Perpetuated

While the shooting death of Trayvon Martin is very much a tragedy, the even greater tragedy is the perpetuation of racist ignorance on the part of the Rev. Al Sharpton, the Rev Jesse Jackson, the New Black Panther Party, NBC News and others who promote institutionalized racism for a political advantage in our culture.   In fact, if the Rev. Sharpton and/or the Rev. Jackson were in fact genuine religious leaders, they would not only warn the people of the implications of using the death of Trayvon Martin in their perpetuation of racism -- a perpetuation that was not only brought about by the Laws (see Conditions Of One's Birth - Life - And Death) of God as declared in the scriptures and taught by Jesus -- and they would recognize that both Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman have been living out their destiny that was ordained even before they were born into this life.  

To the vast majority of Christians who have been deprived and even robbed of a true understanding of both the realities of this world and the teachings of Jesus on the subject of becoming what you have judged (see The Spiritual Castration Of The Church), the fact that those who portray themselves as religious leaders fail to understand Why Bad Things Happen To Seemingly Good People -- and blindly lead their followers down the broad-way of continued judgment and suffering -- failing to comprehend The Laws That Perfect Mankind -- is representative of the greatest tragedy of all.  

That man does not know -- and is in most instances totally unaware of his more distant past that has orchestrated his present life -- is because he presently dwells in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness).   Others who are totally subject to the judgment of the Laws and dwell in what Jesus portrayed as The Prison, remain shackled by the Laws to live out the judgments and miss-deeds of their more distant past.  

In the subheading The Chickens Come Home To Roost, I present the witness of Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan who taught that the Jews who died in the Holocaust had committed grave sins in their previous lives that made them victims of Hitler and his henchmen.   At this same subheading I portray the Rev Jeremiah Wright as a slave owner in his past.   And even Barack Obama who is, because of his own more distant past worshiped as a messiah by some in the present, is living a life that has been orchestrated by his past -- and is in fact confronting the very Laws that he and his followers have initiated in their more distant past (see Those Who Fail To Remember History).  

All progress in life is through experience and testing -- and because most people are far too complacent to be tested by the Laws (of God), they become bonded to quasi-religious, secular and philosophical leaders and thereby inherit the fate of the group which they are attached to (see Leaders As Catalysts For The Laws).    And this process of experiential testing causes groups to enter into life together.   In the same way that there is a syllabus within which each level of education learns, the same is true with respect to God's University of Life (see DivineStrategery.com).   While attached to these groups that are controlled and orchestrated by the Laws, each individual person is themselves confronted by situations that is part of their syllabus of the experiences which serve as a means of learning and testing throughout their lives.   Jesus warned that those confined to what he portrayed as The Prison, cannot be released until they have paid back their last debt -- i.e., “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26 - see The Prison).   While those who have not themselves picked up their own cross and travailed in TheWay in imitation of the Pattern of Christ, perpetually dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the  "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- totally blind to their more distant past that has invoked the Laws that has orchestrated the life that they are presently living.   And that the modern Church remains a victim of what can only be rightly portrayed as the Stockholm Syndrome -- embracing the very dogmatic ignorance that was literally forced upon the Church by the Emperors of Pagan Rome (see The Government Intrusion And Takeover Of The Church) -- has had the effect of shackling the Christian world in a Spiritual Diaspora of Ignorance from which they have yet to even begin to emerge.       

Those who understand how the Laws of God returns to each person the fruit of their own past deeds -- and how in most instances, there is always a reversal where the aggressor becomes the victim until one of the two breaks the cycles of the Laws -- the soul who is presently living as George Zimmerman was previously the victim of the soul who was living in this life as Trayvon Martin -- and the altercation that ensued was merely the continuation of the past into the present.   What this means is that those who rape, will themselves be the victim of rape.   Those who kill, will themselves be killed.  Those who abuse, will themselves be abused in the same way that they did.   That the altercation between Martin and Zimmerman was promoted by the fraud perpetuated by the media -- including the publication of a picture when Trayvon Martin was much younger, along with an edited 911 account which made George Zimmerman appear to be racially motivated -- the portrayal of Zimmerman as being a white racist (see Media's Misleading Rhetoric On Guns) -- is not by chance, but was in fact orchestrated by the Laws.        

What is the real issue here?   While Al Sharpton and a whole chorus of Black Leaders have professed their outrage, it is the conditions of modern Black Culture that the Laws have orchestrated and put on trial.    When Martha Stewart was put on trial for something that congressmen had exempted themselves from, I attempted to warn the people about the boomerang effect of the Judgment of the Laws (see The Plight Of Martha Stewart).   And much of my writings since that time have been an attempt to warn those who have been confined by their more distant past to  The Prison -- and those who Jesus portrayed as dwelling in the  "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- of the effects of the Laws in their present life, and how the Laws of God bring their own judgments and actions back upon them.   In the example of Jeremiah Wright I previously wrote: In the case of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his failure to repent from his own past as a white slave owner -- and the fact in the present, he blames the white race for his own evil that he perpetrated in his more distant past -- in conjunction with his rejection of the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount -- will continue to hold him in the cause and effect loop maintained by the Laws.   Further, many of the congregation of believers who are praising his gospel of hatred that the Rev. Wright and others presently preach, were the very Confederate soldiers who opposed and fought the Union armies. What this means is that what today is known as Black Liberation Theology, will continue to enslave these souls in the future, until they begin to embrace the spiritual concepts of the Sermon on the Mount, and free themselves from the shackles of ignorance (see Failure To Perceive And Understand).     

In the case of Al Sharpton: How many young black children have been slain since the unfortunate death of Trayvon Martin?   As a Democrat, it is demonstrated that the greatest source of poverty is the abolition of the tenets of a biblically based marriage (see The Folly Of Social Justice - The Counterfeit Dogma Of Jim Wallis And The Marxist Left).   As a Democrat, Al Sharpton supports the infanticide of the unborn (see Alveda King).   As a Democrat, Al Sharpton continues to promote the Public Schools and reject true School Choice that would begin the process of spiritual healing of the African-American Children (see The Children Of Caesar and Separation Of Church & State - School choice - The Practice of Religion).   Thus, not only Al Sharpton, but also those who follow him, are themselves being tested by the Laws -- and they are creating  The Prison of their own future struggles and hardships.    

While the case of Trayvon Martin has been brought to the public's attention, the fact that in the interval between his death and the present an almost countless number of truly innocent Black children have been slain by the Left's Liberal Culture that has enslaved the African-American Community on what Star Parker portrays as Uncle Sam's Plantation -- and that pseudo-religious leaders such as Al Sharpton has for his own political gain chosen to ignore the spiritually apathetic conditions under which the Secular Progressive Left has imposed upon the innocent African-American Children under their control -- to the degree that they have even attempted to redefine Jesus as pro-Marxism (see Jim Wallis - Has This Man Soul Your Soul To The Devil?) -- is representative of the judgment of the Laws that cannot be escaped.   As if Jesus desires government programs which rob innocent children of even the opportunity to enter into Life.   Not now -- and not in the future.   And if Al Sharpton and the horde of race-baiter's who have accused George Zimmerman of hunting down Trayvon Martin for no other reason than he is black, will themselves be held accountable for the daily sheading of the blood of innocent African-American children for no other reason than a perpetuation of the Secular Progressive agenda and culture that has robbed children of meaningful lives.

Justice Scalia - Should We Abandon The Intellect?

In a recent Denver Post article Justice Scalia Tells Catholics To Brave The Scorn Of Worldly People, the Supreme Court Judge conveys to the Catholics in attendance to have "the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity" by society's sophisticates.   Justice Scalia then explains: "My point is not that reason and intellect need to be laid aside," Scalia said. "A faith without a rational basis should be laid aside as false. ... What is irrational is to reject a priori the possibility of miracles in general and the resurrection of Jesus Christ in particular."

What Would Jesus Say To Justice Scalia?  As an esteemed and brilliant jurist, Justice Scalia should perceive the enigma of the scriptures from a purely Constitutional perspective -- and at the age of 75, he would then have the potential to become the most important and enlightened jurist ever to grace the Court.   

In order to find the answer to the enigma of the balance of intellect and faith, Justice Scalia must move backward in time -- before a Catholic priest named Martin Luther instituted the Protestant religious tenets of blind faith and a rejection of God's Gift of Reason (see The Void In Church Doctrine) -- back in time before the government takeover of the Church (see The Government Takeover Of The Church) -- prior to the spiritual death of the Church in the year 325 when the wisest of all people were the Christians who were representative of the spiritual core of the Church.   In those early years of the Church the wisest of all the Church Fathers was named Adamantius Origen -- and when he was commissioned by St Ambrosius to make an official reply to the allegations of the pagan philosopher Celsus that the Church was a "secret system" -- teaching the spiritually mature a very different doctrine than the sinners and immature believers (see The Secret Doctrine) -- Origen replied with respect to the doctrine of the physical resurrection that Justice Scalia states Catholics should blindly take at face value, that it 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”.         

I personally know that the Church Father Origen knew the truth, because if we continue to move back in time a few more hundred years before the secular take-over of the Church -- to the area of first century Jerusalem when I lived as Jacob who they call James, the Brother of Yeshua who they call Jesus (see Brother Of Yeshua), the soul who later lived as Origen lived in the first century as my companion and scribe whose name at that time was Yo'el [Joel] (see Scribe Of Ya'kov).   But sadly, Justice Scalia will probably reject the wisdom and insight in my words, because of what I call The Spiritual Castration Of The Church.  And while I have attempted on a number of occasions to set these important religious issues before Justice Scalia and the Supreme Court (see The Cross And The Seat Belt), the lower courts keep dismissing my religious objections to the seat belt laws, because they simply do not want the religious issues set before the highest court in the land.   Since I can't bypass their dismissals, neither can I set the record straight on the issues of original intent of the Constitution and its foundation in the Gospel  (see American Spirituality).

As a renowned constructionist who has long recognized the need to protect the Constitution from the secular progressive ideologues who have attempted to diminish the God-Given Unalienable Rights of the people with a quasi-form of socialism, Justice Scalia should be well suited to assist in the restoration of the First Principles of the Church which he was addressing.   In the same way that the rights of the people are embodied in the preservation of the Constitution, the true salvation of the people and their divine inheritance is embodied in the original teachings of Jesus and the Gospels.

It was of course Nikita Khrushchev who predicted an eventual victory over the Constitutional foundation of the United States when he stated: "We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism" -- and with the entitlement mindset that is prevalent today, we can see the vision of Khrushchev becoming manifest.   As a constructionist on the Supreme Court, Judge Scalia has worked tirelessly to inhibit the secular progressive onslaught to undermine the work of the Founding Constitutional Framers (see American Spirituality) who many were themselves the original first century followers of Jesus and TheWay.

In the same way that Justice Scalia observes the forces at work that has been attempting to undermine the Constitution -- and as a constructionist, has been a force on the bench that has protected the God-Given Rights of the people -- if Justice Scalia would begin to apply this same wisdom to his Church and Religion   (see Government Take-Over Of The Church), his name could be added to the list of True Spiritual Patriots.    Which means that the question that has been set before Justice Scalia today, is whether he will side with the forces of secular corruption, or be faithful to the Original Christian First Principles?

In the article An Inconvenient Truth, it is demonstrated that both the authors of the scriptures as well as the original spiritual Christians, were all condemned and hunted down by the secular authorities of Rome and their puppet priests, as heretics -- and they were thereafter condemned to death for refusing to embrace the religion of the series of emperors who ruled over the Church.   So, in order to preserve the essential truths that could only be revealed to true spiritual seekers, the most important esoteric teachings were concealed within the body of the allegorical scriptures (see In The House With The Lord).

As a man of intellect, Judge Scalia should be intelligent enough to perceive and understand that this world is the expression of God's Laws (see American Spirituality) -- and that when man prevails and overcomes, it is because he has satisfied and prevailed over what the Constitutional Framers portrayed as the Laws of Nature and Nature's God.   Which means that when the historical man Jesus experienced what is allegorically portrayed in the analogy of the Resurrection, what was indicated was the perfection of mind and spirit within the life of the man Jesus -- which is why the Church Father Origen stated that the physical 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”(see The Secret Doctrine).   The man known as the Apostle Paul openly stated that the most important spiritual teachings and concepts could only be presented to the congregation of believers in the form of allegory (see The Mystery Of The Gospel).   And in many respects, the authors of the scriptures relied upon the intelligent discernment of the reader to question the many absurdities presented in the written text, in order to induce them to seek the deeper spiritual meaning that could not be literally written.   And as both a man of intellect and a jurist on the highest court in the land, Judge Scalia should be aware of the need to apply man's Gift of Reason in the interpretation of the scriptures.   When confronted with a violation of the Natural Laws, the authors of the scriptures relied upon the intellect of the reader to induce them to seek out the deeper meaning of what can only be portrayed as the absurdities of the written word that Paul portrayed as the "letter that killeth ...Jewish Folklore".  

Quoting from The Language Of The Soul in the article The Key Of Knowledge: In the words of Moses Maimonedes, one of the most respected of Jewish theologians, historian, and Talmudist, where he writes about the nature of scripture: “Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit”.   The objective of Judaism is to become transformed into Spiritual Israel.   In the exact same manner as the enlightened Jewish Rabbi's, the early Christian Church Father Origen writes: “It is sufficient however, to represent in the style of a historic narrative what is intended to convey a secret meaning in the garb of history, that those who have the capacity may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject.”   And with regard to what would otherwise be historical symbols and events that would appear to us as the knowledge of superficial episodes of the past, Origen writes: “I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142).   Students of Hebrew Mysticism will perceive that what the third-century Christian Church Father Origen wrote was no different than what is contained in the Zohar, where it states: “The narratives of the doctrine are its cloak.   The simple look only on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the doctrine; more they know not.   The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.   The Jewish mystic who spends his life seeking the inner meaning of the written word that the natural mind of man is incapable of seeing, has warned: "Thus the tales related in the Torah are simply her outer garments, and woe to the man who regards that outer garb as the Torah itself, for such a man will be deprived of portion in the next world..." (the Zohar quoted in No Jew Has Read The Torah).   Peter said what appears to be historical never happened.   Paul called the literal text an allegory.   These same truths are again conveyed to us in the words of the Church Historian Eusebius: “Many were led astray by reading the allegorical contents of the scriptures literally in the method of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”.   What these symbols truly mean is perhaps best expressed by G.R.S. Mead in his celebrated work, Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, where he explained that, once properly understood, the true meaning of what is “…projected onto the screen…” of the scriptures, “…was in reality a picture of their [man’s] own minds”. 

Thus, in answer to Justice Scalia, Jesus would convey to him: In order to find the true meaning of the scriptures, reason and intellect must be fully engaged in the process of seeking the deeper meaning of the written (allegorical) text.

Through the hand of Jacob, the Brother of Jesus.
