Is Gnosis Heresay?  

Is the word Gnosis the depiction of heresy As many modern Churches proclaim?  Or is Gnosis the fruit of the Natural Development of Mind.  An Enlightened person would properly translate the Greek word Gnosis into English, and express man's quest to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom that can only be imparted to those who seek Wholeness.  Countless Christians seek to know when will the Kingdom come?  Yet, the Church suppressed this teaching which instructed faith-based believers how to enter the Kingdom that Jesus taught is within from the Gospels.  In the Second Epistle of Clement this ultra-important teaching that was removed from the Gospels modern Christians use is quoted as stating: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour, the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”. 

It is important to recognize that when Clement wrote the above in his Epistle to a congregation of first century Christians, he did so in the expectation that the people to whom he was writing would understand the great truths he was presenting to them. That, in accord with the teachings of Jesus when he was directly asked about when the Kingdom or End Times would come, Jesus stated that the kingdom could only come when "...two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”. And the fact that this statement that has been preseved in the Gospel of Thoma,s and was contained in a first century Epistle from an elder to a congregation of believers in that time-frame, could not be contained and understood in a letter or epistle to a congregation today, is merely one example of the fact that the dogma and thinking of the modern Church has virtually nothing in common with the original teachings of Jesus known as TheWay (see The Original Teachings Have Nothing In Common With Church Dogma http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#OriginalTeachings  ). Which provokes the question: Has the requirements to enter the Kingdom changed in order to accommodate the dogmatic corruption of the Church? Has Truth and Higher Spiritual Reality been discarded and thrown away, because the Church threw this body of essential Knowledge pertaining to the Coming of the Kingdom away? Or, does modern Christians dwell in a self-imposed Diaspora of abject Spiritual Ignorance which was brought about by the massive corruption of the scriptures (see http://BibleCorruption.com   ), and the suppression of the body of essential knowledge that is necessary to restore the lost prodigal son to his true place in the Edenic Kingdom of Origination (see http://GateOfEden.com   .

In the Epistle of Peter to James it is warned that if the spiritual knowledge that Jesus taught exclusively to his original followers was to become lost, that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error".   And Jesus portrayed his essential spiritual knowledge that could only be received directly from God by those who became Whole by fulfilling the Law, as the Divine Manna (see The Law Of The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com  .  And this is why Jesus only taught the multitude of people in parables -- i.e., "And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it. But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples" (Mark 4:33-34).  Why?  Only those who had begun to fulfill the Law of God within them as Jesus taught, could comprehend the higher reality of the Soul and the Kingdom.  And it was for this same reason that Paul confirmed this fact when he said to the Christians who he had himself taught: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal" (1 Cor 3:1-3).  Paul further stated that the mind or Christians who had yet to bring about the necessary transformation of consciousness, would look upon the Mysteries of God as "foolishness" -- i.e., speaking of converted and baptized Christians Paul warned that: “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14).  What this means is that neither Jesus or his original followers could reveal the most important Gospel teachings, because the Christian believers had not yet fulfilled the Law within themselves as Jesus taught, and the necessary transformation or their organic earthly consciousness had not yet begun to take place. 

Jesus taught that Wholeness was necessary to bring about the transformative process of mental and spiritual development -- 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).  What Jesus was stating was that those people who he portrayed as "righteous", did not need him as a physician who came to heal the sick, because they had on their own taken advantage of the Original Opportunity to bringing about Wholeness, Perfection and Completion. Which raises the question: What, then, is stopping you, the reader, from achieving the Wholeness that Jesus himself confirmed you have the innate power to bring about in your life without any need of him (Jesus) or any other physician? The correct translation of the words: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand which is preached in our Churches, is more accurately translated: "Open and unloose the mind."  To phrase the thought that is being expressed, the true meaning is in The Amplified Bible which presents the essence of the biblical text, states: “Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” This is truly important for the person of faith to come to terms with -- for it is the beginning of The Way.  Which provokes the question: How can man achieve the necessary Wholeness, to receive and be taught the Divine Manna directly from God?  Quoting from: Man And Woman's Highest Calling And Purpose http://TheRealFactsOfLife.Ebionite.com#HighestCalling :  By Divine Design, Man and Woman when brought together in pursuit of Unity and Oneness, possess the innate inborn ability to manifest the Truth of all Truths in their lives -- far surpassing all the philosophic, religious and academic institutions of this world. How? Man and Woman are opposite polarities and expressions of Mind that when joined, possess the ability to bring about the next subsequent stage of Mental and Spiritual birth that enables them to come together as ONE in WHOLENESS -- which is why Jesus explained: when "...two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.  . 

What is required?  The vast majority of marriages are pro-creative, and fulfill the sexual and emotional appetites and needs of the man and woman.  They do not generally marry to initiate and bring about their own mental and spiritual transformation. Quoting from When Man Meets Woman http://TheRealFactsOfLife.Ebionite.com#WhenManMeetsWoman :  In the allegorical account of Genesis, when Eve was drawn from the side of Adam, what is being personified is the fact that the mind of mankind became divided across the polarities of male and female when we entered this world. What this means is that when man meets woman, it is in reality one half of the mind meeting and interacting with the other half -- both of them divided opposites with greatly differing mental perceptions and abilities -- each filling the mental void of their spouse. Therefore, when man meets woman, two halves of the Mind are brought together with the capacity to interact, grow and evolve to Wholeness. And from the perspective of man and woman, as the man assists in the development of those unique Intuitive abilities possessed by his wife, his own Intuitive spheres of mind begin to develop. And as the woman channels, transforms and returns the generative energy of her husband back to her husband, both begin to evolve beyond organic male and female levels of mind and consciousness.

In the same way that when a sperm and ovum join and form an embryo, the development of the fetus, the birth, and the evolution of the infant into the fullness of an adult, is all brought about level upon level by the Natural Laws -- as the chromosomes of the male interact with the chromosomes of the female to bring about Maturity and Wholeness in the individual person. In like manner, when man meets woman, the opposite polarities of male and female have the capacity to join on a mental level and form what can be portrayed as a Mental-Ovum -- wherein the Natural Laws of Creation acting like a Living Bio-Feedback Organism, will interact and evolve their consciousness, level upon level with our every thought, desire word and action -- returning back to us exactly what we need to advance -- evolving each of us to bring about what is personified as Wholeness as personified in the Wholeness portrayed in the image of the man Jesus, who is representative of the final destiny for all of mankind. Therefore, Physical Marriage is the initial uniting of the opposite polarities on both a physical and mental levels of mind and being. Depending upon the depth of the marriage union, sexual intercourse has the potential to become a catalyst that with the DNA Exchange, has the ability to Intellectually and Spiritually connect and join the two halves of the Mind as manifest in male and female, to prepare them for transformational growth and development (see DNA Exchange http://BrotherOfJesus.org#study  ). A physical marriage can be portrayed as the initial joining -- but because the development of mind can only be achieved through experiential knowledge -- which requires the living out of choices, and the exercise of freewill -- development beyond the initial level is subject to -- and totally limited by -- the experiential interaction of the two opposite polarities of Consciousness as embodied in the form of Man and Woman.

As halves of the whole, if the man and woman understand that every weakness in the man, is a strength of the woman -- and every weakness of the woman, is a strength of the man -- and when joined together, they have the potential to arise to a higher level of mind and consciousness -- they possess the innate ability to conquer all obstacles which they encounter in their mental advancement to Wholeness and Perfection. Holographically, the Universal Natural Laws are equally expressed on every level of our Being. Therefore, what is true on a physical level, is also true on a mental level, and is ultimately true on a spiritual level. In understanding the Natural Laws on a physical level, the joining of the sperm with the ovum on a physical level opens the door of growth and opportunity -- i.e., the sperm supplies the developmental needs for the ovum, and the ovum supplies the developmental needs for the sperm. And on a mental level, this is also true with respect to the joining of a male/husband and woman/wife as a Mental-Sperm and Mental-Ovum when a Mental-Embryo is formed and manifest. Jesus taught that the two become "one flesh" -- and in a genuine marriage-union, the man has the ability to spawn the growth opportunity of the woman, and the woman has the ability to spawn the growth opportunity of the man. Therefore, if the husband seeks to develop the full Intuitive/Feminine potential and abilities of his wife, without imposing and limiting her development by imposing his own Linear/Male mindset and strengths upon her -- and the woman seeks to reflect and use her power of transformation in the higher development with her husband -- then together they can enter through what is personified as the "narrow gate" of Wholeness (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Osmosis  ). In the same way that the interaction of the male and female polarities will spawn growth and development in a physical embryo, when a Man and Woman enter into a Coverture-Union, they have the potential to transform their Mind -- doing this by developing the Mental-Bodies that surround the physical. With the development of these Mental-Bodies in a Mental-Embryo, Metaphysical growth and development of Mind is brought about that is able to transcend the earthly-limitations of human organic (carnal) consciousness.
