In the subheading entitled
The Original
Spiritual Language Of The Gospels (see
http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#OriginalLanguage ), I demonstrate that
the Original Gospels were written in Biblical Hebrew Characters -- and in this
language without vowels, each letter is also a number. The authors of the
Gospels composed in Living Biblical Hebrew understood that every level of
Consciousness is associated with vibratory frequencies -- as is individual
colors and notes within the pattern of an octave. Each of them understood the
Law of Octaves (see The Application Of The Law Of Octaves And The Trinity
http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#LawOfOctaves ), and its effect upon the
movement of the Natural Laws of Creation and Consciousness. What this means is
that every name that is used in the biblical text composed in the Hebrew
Characters, not only has a meaning in what the names and places portray -- as
well as how the name is used - but also has a numerical equivalent that when
used and understood in conjunction with the other names of people, places or
things, can portray an esoteric meaning that is not at all apparent to the
readers who believe they are reading either a myth, folklore, or an historical
account. When the scriptures are read from an historical perspective, the
reader relates the names a historical people or places -- failing to understand
that each name portrays a meaning that presents an aspect of mind and
consciousness that is signified in the names and places in the allegorical text.
What the Essenes portrayed as the
Teacher of Righteousness was an alias for the Mind of God that the Greeks
portrayed as the Logos, and the Ebionites portrayed as the Son of God which they
called the True Prophet that Jesus commanded his disciples and followers to seek
out (see The One Teacher
http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ) as one's only teacher. The
Essene Elders who understood all that such men as Pythagoras, Bruno and
Gurdjieff understood with respect to the Natural Laws, concealed much of their
sacred knowledge within the allegory of the Books of Enoch. And with the advent
of the man Jesus who fulfilled the Laws within his own mind and being (see
below:
The Essene
Foundation Of Judaism And Christianity
http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#EsseneFoundation ), this body of esoteric
self-knowledge was transferred into the Original Gospels (see
http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com
). The Essenes were portrayed as a people who perpetually studied the
scriptures -- and they did this because they understood the embedded power of
the symbols and catalysts that possess the power to transform, expand and deepen
the organic consciousness of man beyond organic human limitations. Which can
only be accomplished through the interaction of the Linear/male and
Intuitive/female Spheres of Mind (see The Trinity - Divine Pattern - Linear vs
Intuitive Development Of The Mind
http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org/#Trinity ).
In order to create scriptures that was
appropriate for the common people who had never begun the process of mental
transformation, the authors of the scriptures
re-engineered the common
beliefs of the people -- many of which beliefs can rightly be portrayed as being
founded upon myth or folklore. But, the final product of re-engineered myths
and folklore contained a series of symbols and catalysts that connected their
normal organic human consciousness with a higher level of consciousness that
exists within all of mankind, and ultimately an Inner Source of Knowledge and
Truth that exceeds all the cumulative knowledge of mankind throughout all the
ages that mankind has walked the face of the earth. Thus, we have the
paradoxical foundational paradigms: Is the mind of an infant empty and in need
of being taught the wisdom of man? Or does the infant possess an inner Source
of Knowledge that is Superior to the wisdom of this world? The infant
empty-mind foundational paradigm is the Old Covenant -- and the infant full
foundational paradigm is the New Covenant. Thus, in the
re-engineered versions of
scripture, what we are presented with is the basis of the infant-full mindset.
While the people accepted and embraced the writings because on the surface they
appeared to confirm and support their beliefs which their culture has previously
embraced, the changes made in the
re-engineering process
opened the door to a depth of mind and spirit that is not at all understood by
those who see only the surface of the text.
And this reality is expressed 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).
The One
Teacher: Jesus commanded his disciples and followers to have One Teacher:
"But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have One
Teacher, and you are all brethren" (Matt 23:8 RSV). And with
respect to this ONE TEACHER that they were commanded to seek out exclusively, in
the Homilies of his disciple Clement the Apostle Peter taught that the One
Teacher who they portrayed as the True Prophet, is within the mind of all
mankind. Thus, Peter is quoted as stating: "...And
therefore I advise not only wise men, but indeed all men who have a desire of
knowing what is advantageous to them, that they seek after the True Prophet; for
it is He alone who knoweth all things, and who knoweth what and how every man is
seeking.
For he is within the mind of every one
of us, but in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His
righteousness, He is inoperative; but He works in those who seek after that
which is profitable to their souls, and kindles in them the light of
knowledge. Wherefore seek Him first of all; and if you do not find Him, expect
not that you shall learn anything from any other. But
He is soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth, and
whose souls are not taken possession of by wickedness. For He is present with
those who desire Him in the innocence of their spirits, who bear patiently, and
draw sighs from the bottom of their hearts through love of the truth; but He
deserts malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the thoughts of every
one. And therefore let no one think that he can find Him by his own wisdom,
unless, as we have said, he empty his mind of all wickedness, and conceive a
pure and faithful desire to know Him. For when any one has so prepared himself,
He Himself as a prophet, seeing a mind prepared for Him, of His own accord
offers Himself to his knowledge”
What Peter is stating is that while the
True Prophet exists at the core of all of mankind, (1)
"...in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness,
He is inoperative"; (2)
"...But He is soon
found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth";
(3) that the True Prophet
"...deserts malevolent minds,
because as a prophet He knows the thoughts of every one"; (4) that we
cannot find the True Prophet on our own as stated that
"...let no one think that he can find Him by his own wisdom, unless, as we have
said, he empty his mind of all wickedness"; (5) and that to draw
nearer and find the Indwelling True Prophet, the seeker must
"...empty his mind of all wickedness, and conceive a pure
and faithful desire to know Him. For when any one has so prepared himself, He
Himself as a prophet, seeing a mind prepared for Him, of His own accord offers
Himself to his knowledge”. When rightly understood, to find and
learn from the Indwelling True Prophet, the seeker must become the
"good ground" in the parable of the Sower
and the Seed (see
http://Messianic.Nazirene.org/sower_seed.html ). And in the parable of the
Sower and the Seed, the same seed that is cast into the ground that is properly
prepared and produces in levels of abundance (
"For when
any one has so prepared himself, He Himself as a prophet, seeing a mind prepared
for Him, of His own accord offers Himself to his knowledge” ), is
unable to germinate and produce when the ground in which it has been cast is not
properly prepared (
"...but He deserts malevolent minds
...in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He
is inoperative").
One may ask: Isn't the scriptures
composed in order to teach the person what they need to know? No! The
scriptures are designed to develop the mind and bring about the necessary
condition of Wholeness that enables the person to begin to be taught by the True
Prophet. In further explanation of this Inner Source of Truth and
Knowledge which the original followers of Jesus portrayed as the True Prophet,
Peter cautions the seeker and states with respect to reading and studying the
scriptures that "...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".
If we ask the question: What is
being said to the believer who desires to be faithful to the Gospel Teachings?
What we have in the foregoing is the confirmation of the New Covenant Principles
that few modern believers understand the spiritual reality of. In the same way
that the believer is commanded to seek out the One Teacher, and the commandment
that
"...when the law of God
(scriptures) is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own
mind" -- it is being stated that there is only One Source of Truth
-- and that the wisdom of man will misguide the seeker. By design, human
reasoning is embryonic, and is incapable of understanding the true meaning of
the scriptures -- i.e.,
"...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." Why?
Because the literal text is allegorical and designed to bring about the
mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening of the mind that evolves the person
beyond organic human limitations. And Peter also states that neither
should you listen to other men's gravely flawed interpretations of the
scriptures -- i.e.,
"...For you
ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from
without". Why? Jesus taught that there is only one Source of
Truth, and the disciple/seeker must learn directly from that One Teacher. And
thus, these words which are representative of the core Gospel teachings, are
inconceivable to the modern faith-based believer who is divided and
disenfranchised from the very essence and objectives of the Gospel teachings --
overwhelmed and anchored to a carnal mindset that is of the
"outer darkness" (see
http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org
) -- spiritually disenfranchised by innumerable manmade opinions, factions and
sects which totally alienate the believer from the Truth and the Kingdom within.
The Apostle Peter states that while the
True Prophet is within the minds of all mankind, there are certain conditions
that must be present in order to begin to learn from the Inner Source of Mind
and Being -- i.e.,
"but in those who have no desire of
the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is inoperative". And
this fact of human reality was expressed by the priest Giordano Bruno who was
burnt as the stake by the Church when he stated:
"The
Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the
comprehension, but man rejects it". And while the True Prophet and
the Source of Light and Truth exists within the mind of everyone of us, Peter
warns that
"...He is soon found by those who
diligently seek Him through love of the truth". Which provokes the
questions: What is the love of the Truth? If a supposed believer clings to the
corrupted words of the Church (see The Corruption Of The Words Of God
http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CorruptionOfGodsWords ), does this constitute a
genuine
"...love of the truth"? No, not at
all -- which is why the modern Christian remains spiritually immature and
disenfranchised.
In making reference to The True
Prophet who Jesus portrayed as the One Teacher within one's own mind that must
be sought out, Peter warns that:
"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." Which provokes the question: What about the scriptures?
Contrary to what many believe, the scriptures are not themselves the Word of God
-- but rather, the scriptures are a map of our own mind -- i.e., a blueprint of
our Consciousness - that details how to find the Word of God -- in accord with
the New Covenant, within you. And this is why Peter warned in the Homilies of
his disciple Clement:
"...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". (see
The Spiritual Disenfranchisement Of The Mind). And in the same way that
present-day Christianity is a religion of innumerable teachers and almost
countless sects and factions, the reality of these words are totally
incomprehensible to the modern Church. Yet, these words are not only
representative of the very core foundation of the Gospel teachings, but they are
representative of the original objectives of the New Covenant.
The Purpose Of The
Scriptures: In their original condition the Gospels contained important
spiritual teachings and concepts that developed the inward Intuitive spheres of
mind -- enabling the seeker to begin to balance outward looking Linear spheres
of mind -- in preparation for the seeker/disciple to employ the process of
Anamnesis (The Innate Knowledge Of The Truth Of All Truths:
http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#Innate ), to begin to connect with the True
Prophet at the Core and Essence of their Mind and Being -- and it is this inner
connection that is the objective of the New Covenant Gospels. By developing
the latent Intuitive areas of mind, this prepares the seeker/believer to receive
the Divine Manna of the Kingdom ( The Foundation of the New Covenant
http://BrotherOfJesus.org#NewCovenant ). Therefore, the Gospels were not
themselves the Word of God or the Sacred Knowledge portrayed as the Divine
Manna. No one could read the Gospels and perceive the Divine Manna. Because
the Gospels were a text-book on the transformational changes that the
seeker/disciple had to bring about in their own lives to begin to receive the
Divine Manna that can only be imparted to a seeker in accord with their
condition and ability to receive the Spiritual Nourishment (Knowledge) that can
only be received directly from God. But because modern man has permitted
himself to become alienated from his True-Self, and Spiritually Disenfranchised
by virtue of the rote programming of the Linear spheres of mind, the suppression
of the Intuitive spheres of mind (see
The Mental Cause Of
Gender Violence
http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#GenderViolence ), and the fact that the
Churches have embraced the error of the Jews in throwing away the
Key of Knowledge when reading and
interpreting the scriptures, the whole of our thinking has been rendered
mentally flat-lined.
No amount of outward linear derived knowledge -- no
amount of traditional education -- no amount of book-knowledge -- no amount of
teachings or instruction -- can either develop the Intuitive spheres of mind, or
provide access to the Higher Areas of Mind that exist in the person's own Higher
Soul-Mind. In fact, it is this traditional liner instruction that inhibits most
people from evolving their mindbeyond organic human levels of comprehension.
And it is this development of the seekers mind that is the sole purpose of the
scriptures -- which utilized allegorical symbols that act as catalysts that
connect the person we are in this world with our inner Self -- utilizing a
quasi-historical facade that is in most instances factually and historically
inaccurate -- in order to develop the Intuitive and utilize the process of
Anamnesis (
http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#Innate ) to slowly bring about the deepening
and expansion of mind that enables the seeker to learn directly from the
Indwelling Logos/Son of God portrayed as the True Prophet. Which means that
when critics portray the scriptures as being poorly written -- contradicting
other Gospels -- that they contain countless inconsistencies and discordances --
that they plagiarized other religions -- and that they totally lack continuity
with the Old Testament -- these critics fail to understand the higher purpose
and objective of the Sacred Writings. Why? Because the countless
inconsistencies, discordances and contradictions were intentionally inserted
into the written text to develop the Intuitive spheres of mind that are
suppressed by the Linear. The embedded higher meaning can only be
understood by the Intuitive spheres of mind that remain atrophied by the
over-development of the Linear outward-looking spheres of mind. And in
their linear-minded critique, these who only see the inconsistencies,
discordances and contradictions -- without understanding why they were
intentionally inserted into the text of the written word -- sentence themselves
to a life of being mentally inhibited and flat-lined, and spiritually
disenfranchised. When rightly understood with respect to the purpose and
objective of the scriptures, the inconsistencies and discordances, along with
the re-engineered myths and folklore -- were not only inserted into the written
text so that they would make absolutely no sense to the linear-minded reader --
but this obstacle to a linear interpretation is necessary in order to force the
linear to begin to communicate and learn from the intuitive-insights and
interpretations, in order to evolve the mind to understand from a higher
enlightened plane of comprehension.
