Religious Facts

 

If Religion was based upon Facts for the Linear mind to interpret and control the meaning, then religion would be as worthless as academia for seeking the Truth of all Truths. The purpose of the scriptures is to develop the Inward-Intuitive spheres of mind in order to enable them to connect with the Indwelling Logos (aka Son of God). And a person does this by embodying all that is portrayed in the allegorical account of Jesus in the Gospels.

The scriptures are not history -- and if the scriptures were based upon historical facts, then they would be worthless to bring about their true purpose and objective. The true meaning of the scriptures can only be revealed to the few who have prepared their mind to learn directly from the Indwelling Logos.  In the Homilies of Clement the Apostle Peter is quoted as warning: "...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? 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 and teachings of man will misguide the seeker. By design, human linear-carnal reasoning which relies upon outward/historical facts, is incapable of understanding the true spiritual 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." And 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". Jesus taught that there is only one Source of Truth, and the disciple/seeker must learn directly from that One Teacher -- i.e, "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (Luke 24:45). This can only be accomplished by becoming the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower And The Seed (see http://SowerAndTheSeed.Ebionite.com ). And thus, these words which are representative of the New Covenant and 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" -- spiritually disenfranchised by innumerable manmade opinions, factions and sects which totally alienate the believer from the Truth and the Kingdom.  Quoting from The Purpose Of The Scriptures http://GospelCosmology.Ebionite.com#PurposeOfTheScriptures

The Kingdom is Within You -- and yet, few people are even aware of its existence at the core of their consciousness. Why? Because their mind is focused outwardly, and few people ever develop those attributes of mind that possess the ability to look inwardly. And thus the problem: No amount of outward linear derived knowledge -- no amount of traditional linear education -- no amount of linear book-knowledge -- no amount of traditional teaching or instruction -- can either develop the inward-looking Intuitive spheres of mind, or provide access to the innate areas of mind that exist in the person's own Higher Soul-Mind. In fact, it is this traditional outward-looking liner instruction of modern academia that inhibits most people from evolving their mind beyond organic human levels of comprehension. And it is the inward development of the seekers mind that enables the person to tap into the inner Source of Knowledge, that is the sole purpose of the scriptures. How does the scriptures accomplish this inner-looking development? The scriptures utilize allegorical symbols that act as catalysts that connect the person we are in this world with our inner Self -- utilizing scriptures that are a quasi-historical facade that is in most instances factually and historically inaccurate. Why? 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 inward-looking Intuitive spheres of mind that are suppressed by the outward-looking Linear spheres of mind. The embedded higher spiritual meaning of the scriptures 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, those who only see the inconsistencies, discordances and contradictions of the scriptures -- without understanding why the discordances were intentionally inserted into the text of the written word -- are people who sentence themselves to lives of being mentally inhibited and flat-lined -- and with their lack of inward-looking perception, these people are doomed to being 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 literal/historical 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 inward looking intuitive-insights and interpretations, in order to evolve the mind to understand from a higher enlightened plane of comprehension. The scriptures are not designed to teach the person what they need to know? The scriptures are designed to develop the inward-looking innate aspects of mind and bring about the necessary condition of Wholeness that enables the person to begin to be taught by the indwelling True Prophet. And this is why the Apostle 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". Outward interpretations drawn from other people from an external Linear perspective, defeats the very purpose of the scriptures -- inhibiting the person's development. Any outward linear belief that interprets the text in an outward historical manner, undermines the allegorical catalysts designed to develop the inward intuitive spheres of mind, and therefore defeats the very purpose of the scriptures. Jesus portrayed those who interpret the scriptures outwardly and/or historically, as the "spawn of the devil" (see Christianity - The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com )

Each person's ability to access their inner Self and the Knowledge of their own Eternal Soul-Self, can only be achieved through the development of those areas of mind that look Inward. If the Gospels were designed to instruct through a linear outward perception, then they would be ineffective in the development of the person's inner resources and attributes of mind. What the translators and body of believers fail to understand, is the fact that the alleged discordances and inconsistencies were intentionally inserted into the text of the scriptures for a number of important reasons. Admittedly, what is truly difficult for the untransformed carnal mindset of man to understand, is that each of the variant readings are unique to understanding that passage of scripture from that particular author from a spiritual perspective. Unique, because the scriptures are no historical, and what is presented can only be understood when applied within the person's own mind. Perhaps the best example of this non-historical reality is seen in the fact that it has been long noted that there is no unity and common witness of the Gospels on the crucifixion accounts. Further, the Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke contradict each other's records of the crucifixion -- even on the parts that would be seen as the most important. Each of the Gospel accounts portray Jesus as having died at different times of the day -- wherein he supposedly spoke to different people -- gave different sets of final words and confusingly different accounts of the circumstances surrounding the death of Jesus. It is not simply a case that they recorded different details. The actions of Jesus in each Gospel account reflect general differences in perception about what Jesus' character should be. In Mark's account Jesus is silent and mocked by all around him, and cries out in despair at the end. But in the Gospels of Luke and John, Jesus is talkative, gives advice, and is surrounded by followers even while on the cross. Despite the massive impact they would have had on entire communities, the Gospel writers also record different supernatural events occurring upon Jesus' death. Matthew 27:51-53 describes Earthquakes and the rising of the dead -- things which no one else at all noticed. Each gospel writer states their version as fact, even though it is clear that no agreement exists among the Gospel accounts. Where the critics will reject the crucifixion account on what they perceive to be flawed and conflicting accounts, it remains beyond their comprehension that the Gospels are not at all meant to be historical accounts -- and each of the Gospel narratives must be understood as a unique spiritual account -- sometimes portraying the experiences of different spheres and aspects of mind (see http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org ). From the perspective of the twelve spheres of mind as allegorically represented in the twelve disciples, each of the spheres of mind experienced what is portrayed as the crucifixion or allegorical portrayal of the Final Stage of Birth differently. And if we were able to read many of the Gospel accounts suppressed by the Church, we would find no historical agreement among those with the four Gospels we presently possess.

So long as your own mind is shackled by The Intellectual Red Line In The Sand Of Human Consciousness http://CausalFactor.Nazirene.org#TheIntellectualRedLine , you will remain in a state of spiritual disenfranchisement and death.
