The Importance Of Faith In The Unknown
I encountered a FaceBook post that rejected religion on the basis that faith itself should be
The ancients understood that the mind
of man has what can be portrayed as four (4) Gates -- each of which must be
independently developed to function together to bring about Wholeness. The mind
of man can look outwardly through the Linear (male) spheres of mind -- look
inwardly through the Intuitive (feminine) spheres of mind -- upward into the
heavenly spheres of mind through such things as meditation -- or, allow one's
mind to be controlled by the person's lower earthly carnal nature (see Organic
Man Ruled Over By His Lower Animal Nature
http://SoulSelf.org#AnimalNature
). The "narrow gate" can only be entered
through the Center -- and only by bringing the Mind into a condition of
Wholeness -- i.e., "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? 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. And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this
also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the
earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole
[and] righteous" who did not need Jesus the physician. Jesus openly
states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they
achieved the necessary Wholeness without him. Does everyone need Jesus as the
modern Christian maintains? While Jesus himself said that those who had
achieved Wholeness did not need him as a spiritual physician -- i.e.,
They that are whole have no need of the physician..."
-- and that with effort, all of mankind is capable of achieving a
condition that Jesus portrayed as "whole [and]
righteous", which means that these people who did achieve Wholeness,
were not sick, and in Jesus' own words were not in need of him (Jesus) as a
physician to heal them. Which means that the whole foundation of modern Church
dogma is man-made and in error.
It is impossible to achieve the
necessary condition of Wholeness, so long as the person's mind is only
functioning through the limitations imposed upon their thinking through the
Linear (outward/male) spheres of mind. Which means that the necessary Wholeness
can only be achieved, when a catalyst is used in an Intervention into the
person's consciousness. The Linear spheres of mind are limited in their
perceptive-vision and understanding, because the Linear can only draw knowledge
through one of the four gates of the mind that look outwardly. And so long as
the (male) Linear spheres of mind remain dominate in the process of learning,
the mind of the person will remain outward-looking and flat-lined -- unable to
mature beyond a certain point of quasi-development. The scriptures are designed
to bring about Wholeness of mind -- but if the linear/historical interpretations
of the scriptures are permitted to control the thinking of the person, then it
will remain impossible to bring about the necessary mental-expansion and
spiritual-deepening that is the foundation of not only a higher level of
enlightenment, but also Self-Knowledge. So long as the three-dimensional
linear/historical perception of man's reality is allowed to control the
Intuitive and other spheres of mind, the development of these other spheres of
mind will remain negated and atrophied -- thereby inhibiting any degree of
achieving Wholeness. When Jesus said: "If you continue
in My word, you are truly My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the
truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32) -- this knowledge and truth
that makes the person free, can only come to a mind that is Whole. Therefore,
what is presented in the written words of the scriptures must be understood as
being beyond the Linear spheres of the reader's mind to decipher and understand
the meaning of. In many respects the Linear which interprets the scriptures
exclusively in a linear/historical manner, must somehow be handcuffed and
inhibited from dominating over the other spheres of mind, and in their
interpretations which the linear mind would portray as rational and logical,
ruling over the interpretation of the scriptures. Why? To evolve the mind of
the person beyond organic limitations, paradoxical opposites that exist within
the mind must be united and raised up -- and to accomplish this, allegorical
catalysts must be employed within the textual body of the scriptures in what can
perhaps best be portrayed as reverse-stimulation -- i.e., drawing out from a
pre-existing Source within the depths of higher consciousness -- thereby
stimulating and developing the inward looking Intuitive spheres of mind that is
often seen as irrational to the outward-looking linear spheres of mind.
Safeguards must be put in place to suspend linear domination -- with the problem
being that if the Linear (male/outward) is allowed to exercise its natural power
to rule over the Intuitive (feminine/inward), no higher development of mind can
be brought about. And without this process of reverse-stimulation and the
elevation of paradoxical opposites that exist within the mind in what can be
portrayed as four (4) trinities, the consciousness of the person/student will
remain flat-lined (see Tree Of Life @
http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org ).
In order to begin to develop the
inward-looking Intuitive (feminine) spheres of mind, a catalyst must be used
that will inhibit outward-looking Linear (male) domination of the person's
thinking and conclusions. In the Gospels associated with Mary Magdalene it is
written: “She speaks to the other disciples about Jesus
and what she’s seen, and Peter says, ‘I don’t believe the Lord said these
things. These are certainly strange ideas.’ And she says, ‘Well, do you think I
made them up? Do you think I’m lying about the Lord?’” (see The
Intuitive Mind vs Linear-Rational
http://SoulSelf.org#IntuitiveVsLinear ). In this allegorical
representation, the linear-rational aspect of mind is represented in Peter's
inability to comprehend what the feminine-intuitive (as represented in the
allegorical personification of Mary Magdalene) reveals. And since these
intuitive visions, impressions and wisdom does not support the linear reasoning
of the masculine vision of this world and Creation, in most people they are
rejected. But in view of the fact that the Linear (male) outward-looking
perception is portrayed as the "broad-way"
of death, a catalyst must be used to intervene in the thinking of the
seeker/disciple that enables them to begin to tap into the Intuitive (feminine)
inward-looking spheres of mind as allegorically portrayed in the personage of
Mary Magdalene. Wholeness can only be achieved across the spectrum of the four
gates where both the Linear and Intuitive are equal and brought together in the
Center -- thereby restoring the division of the upper-heavenly and lower-earthly
within the mind of the seeker/disciple.
Do we understand the higher purpose and
objective of the scriptures? It is the product of our own ego-driven thinking
that is the basis of our questioning the intelligence of the authors of the
scriptures because of the countless discordances, inconsistencies and errors
that exist in the body of the text. It never dawns in us that the authors
intentionally inserted what appears to be the countless discordances into the
body of the text for an important purpose. And it is in fact these
discordances, inconsistencies and seemingly errors that are important in
suppressing the domination of the Linear (male) interpretation of the
scriptures. Those who understood the purpose and objective of the scriptures,
and utilized them as the Key of Knowledge to develop the inward Intuitive
spheres of mind, recognized that the inconsistencies which were intentionally
inserted into the text, were employed as catalysts that could only be
interpreted in accord with the ability of the person to draw from within to the
Inner Source of Knowledge. And if we pose the question: Why are the scriptures
composed in their present allegorical manner? Because to be effective, they
must stimulate the thinking of the people not only in a linear manner, but also
by employing catalysts that bring about the process of reverse-stimulation. In
the words of Einstein: "Imagination
is more important than knowledge" -- because imagination
is intuitive, and can be used as a vehicle to reverse-stimulate the developing
mind. Einstein also warned that "The intuitive
mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have
created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
Why is the Intuitive mind a sacred gift? Because it has the power and ability
to access inner-consciousness and manifest the Higher Mind of not only our
True-Self, but ultimately the Mind of God (Logos).
Paul correctly portrayed the written
text and narrative of the scriptures as the "letter
that killeth [and] Jewish folktales" (see 2 Cor 3:6; Titus 1:14).
Why? Why would Paul portray the written narrative of the scriptures in this
manner? Because the literal text of the scriptures is a quasi-historical facade
that is necessary for the very limited instruction of the immature seeker --
with the true spiritual meaning remaining preserved and concealed beneath the
garb of allegory (see An
Inconvenient Truth). When Paul stated that he was forced to provide the
baptized and committed Christians who he had himself taught, what he portrayed
as "milk", because as
"babes in Christ" they were too immature to comprehend the higher
reality of the Soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom, what he was warning the
faith-based Christian was that man's higher spiritual reality was beyond the
rational of their linear-outward looking minds. And that the literal body of
the scriptures which was built upon "Jewish folktales"
(see Titus 1:14), possessed an important meaning that could only be comprehended
by those who are themselves Whole and Complete. And this is why the Church
Father Origen explained that “Scripture contains an
unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness
of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen
quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).
Further explaining in De Principiis that: “Where the
word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these
mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper
meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things,
there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already
indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the
account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have
happened; sometimes what could but did not.”
Which provokes the question: Why is the
literal/historical interpretation of the scriptures portrayed as
"worthless"? Why would the Living Word
(Logos) intentionally insert into the body of the text
"...some events that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened;
sometimes what could but did not”? Further, not only was the
unhistorical events that were in-woven into the textual body of the scriptures
easily detected, but they were intentionally designed to be recognized as not
literally or historically true. In the words of the Church Father Origen who
was called the "prince of Christian learning",
second only to the disciples, writes: “What man of
sense will agree with the statement that the first, second and third days in
which the evening is named and the morning, were without sun, moon and stars,
and the first day without a heaven. What man is found such an idiot as to
suppose that God planted trees in paradise in Eden, like a husbandman, and
planted therein the tree of life, perceptible to the eyes and senses, which gave
life to the eater thereof; and another tree which gave to the eater thereof a
knowledge of good and evil? 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).
Why were the scriptures written in this
manner? In order to develop the mind beyond human organic limitations, the
process of reverse-stimulation or the drawing from the inner consciousness of
the person, had to be present in order to develop the inward-looking Intuitive
spheres of mind -- balance out the four (4) paradoxical trinities that are
responsible for the great diversity of human potential of thought -- and thereby
bring about Wholeness of Mind and Consciousness. And in order to recognize the
existence of the in-woven historical/literal untruths that are embedded into the
textual body of the scriptures, the authors made use of the common beliefs of
the people in a re-engineered form. Therefore, in order for the scriptures to
be effective in the development of the mind, it was necessary to use familiar
beliefs that the people already held -- beliefs which were often based upon myth
and folklore -- but in their re-engineered form, provided a means to begin to
tap into an Inner Source of pre-existing knowledge that surpassed the knowledge
of mankind. In the words of the Church Father Origen we find his assertion that
the scriptures take on a form which is appropriate to a certain group of people,
so that it might begin the process of bringing those people to a mental and
spiritual level of maturity (see The Great Lie About The Scriptures
http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheGreatLie ). And this is explained by Origen
who writes that: “If a Greek wished by wholesome
instruction to benefit people who understood only Egyptian or Syriac, the first
thing that he would do would be to learn their language; and he would rather
pass for a Barbarian among the Greeks, by speaking as the Egyptians or Syrians,
in order to be useful to them, than always remain Greek, and be without the
means of helping them. In the same way the divine nature, having the purpose of
instructing not only those who are reputed to be learned in the literature of
Greece, but also the rest of mankind, accommodated itself to the capacities of
the simple multitudes whom it addressed. It seeks to win the attention of the
more ignorant by the use of language which is familiar to them, so that they may
easily be induced, after their first introduction, to strive after an
acquaintance with the deeper truths which lie hidden in Scripture. For even the
ordinary reader of Scripture may see that it contains many things which are too
deep to be apprehended at first; but these are understood by such as devote
themselves to a careful study of the divine word, and they become plain to them
in proportion to the pains and zeal which they expend upon its investigation”
(Origen Contra Celsum).
In the same way that the notes of an
octave and the colors of the rainbow are created by mathematical frequencies,
this is also true of the levels of human consciousness. The White Light
associated with man's higher Soul-Reality, is comprised of the seven primary
colors of the rainbow -- and these seven colors are emitted by the seven
spiritual centers of the body -- each of the colors and spectrum of associated
sound is the embodiment of the mathematical frequencies that support the
consciousness associated with that spiritual center. And the importance of this
is stated in the words: "I do set my bow in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth"
(Gen 9:13) -- meaning, that to understand the relationship of the seven colors
and their mathematical frequencies of the rainbow, is to begin to understand the
foundations of consciousness. Pythagoras, Giordano Bruno, Gurdjieff are among
those who stated facts with respect to the framework of consciousness that
modern physicists have only now proven to be true -- i.e., that the Laws and the
Foundation of Creation were all composed in Mathematics and Numbers. From the
perspective of the Mystic who develops those areas of mind that enable him/her
to look beyond the physical images of this realm, modern science has proven the
wisdom and witness of the Mystic, and this is demonstrated and explored at The
True Facts And Realities Of Life
http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#TrueFactAndRealitiesOfLife . And while the
analogy of Plato's Cave has been confirmed by modern science (see Plato - The
Physicist
http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#Plato ), the dilemma that confronts the
modern physicists is the fact that they simply do not possess the necessary
knowledge of the Cosmology of Mind to escape the Cave of Illusions of this
world. Why? Because they lack the necessary understanding of how the mind is
expanded and deepened -- which wisdom lies concealed within the allegorical
scriptures and their true purpose and objective. In the Epistle of Peter to
James the warning is presented that if the esoteric body of knowledge that Jesus
revealed to his disciples should become lost, that
"...it will remain even for those
who really seek the truth, always to wander in error". Why? Because
embedded within the allegorical body of the scriptures is the framework of
esoteric self-knowledge that enables the seeker/disciple to develop the mind
beyond organic human limitations, thereby enabling them to achieve the necessary
Wholeness to escape the limitations of this shadow-world (see Wholeness of Mind
& Being
http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#wholeness ). And to bring this Enlightened
Condition of Mind and Being about, is why Jesus stated:
"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). Which means that at the time that the man Jesus walked the earth there
were those present who had achieved the necessary Wholeness that enabled them to
perceptively-understand the higher Soul-Reality that organic man remains
inherently blind to -- even to the degree that they were able to enter the
Spiritual Source-Realm that we portray as the Kingdom. And as a physician,
Jesus was not called to heal those who had achieved the necessary Wholeness --
but rather, those whose organic consciousness remained carnal and caused them to
be prisoners of this world.
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 their scriptures in Living Biblical Hebrew, because they
understood that every level of Consciousness is associated with vibratory
frequencies -- as is individual colors that together manifest the white light of
the Soul, and notes within the pattern of an octave. Each of the authors
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 within the mind of
the seeker/disciple. 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 in their meaning -- 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. And while the
linear spheres of mind cannot make sense of what is being presented through the
symbols and catalysts embedded in the textual body of the scriptures, once
developed, the intuitive spheres of mind are able to tap into the inner Source
of knowledge that reveals to the seeker/disciple what is being allegorically
presented. 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.
Why is this important? Because the
linear spheres of mind are only capable of perceptively understanding the
surface of what is seen. And this is why it is stated:
“Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto
them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they
may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand”
(Mark 4:11-12 KJV). So long as a person's thinking is founded upon a
linear perception of reality, they will remain blind to their own higher
Soul-Realty, incapable of hearing with any depth of comprehension, and incapable
of understanding. Thus, the reality of the words: "To
him who overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna" (Rev
2:8-17). Overcome what? Overcome the organic human limitations of mind. And
when the scriptures are used as the Key of Knowledge and turned within the
seeker/disciples own mind and being -- thereby enabling the intuitive and other
spheres of mind to develop in order to nurture Wholeness -- only then can the
seeker/disciple begin to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom. Which is why
Paul portrayed the linear/historical interpretation of the scriptures as the
"letter that killeth" (see 2 Cor 3:6).
