Bible Corruption: Does It Matter?

The question must be answered with another question -- i.e., do you read the Gospels in the manner of a Pharisee?  Or do you apply the Gospels to bring about their intended purpose as the Key of Knowledge?  the Pharisees read the scriptures as if they were historical narratives.  Whereas, the scriptures were composed by spiritual adepts who rejected this world, and sought to regain entrance to the Inner Kingdom by bringing about the subsequent stages of birth.  And those few who understand the difference, understand that the Gospels will still support their Original Purpose -- i.e., to guide you into the Kingdom within you.  How?  Because the scriptures are a series of allegorical catalysts that present to the seeker the blueprint of Mind that you need to make the inward journey in TheWay -- i.e.,  "I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of The Way" (Acts 24:14).  What this means is that every person, place or thing in the scriptures, is presented therein as an allegorical symbol of consciousness.  The twelve disciples represent the twelve spheres of mind of the Tree of Life (see Tree Of Life http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org ).  The cities though which Jesus and the disciples travel, are the seven spiritual centers or chakras that are representative of the seven kingdoms that empower our consciousness -- i.e., the upper three portraying the Heavenly; the lower three portraying the earthly; and the Center heart spiritual center the one of Mental and Spiritual Birth as explored at The Divine Marriage http://DivineMarriage.org .  Which means that when the seeker embodies the higher qualities of Jesus -- and fulfills the Law in the manner that the Original Gospel Teaching taught (see Jesus Fulfilled And Taught The Natural Fulfillment Of The Laws Of God: http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#JesusFulfilledTheLaw ) -- that the subsequent stages of birth can be brought about, and the seeker as the prodigal son is able to be restored to the Edenic Kingdom.   And what this means is that any sincere seeker who uses the scriptures for their intended purpose as the Key of Knowledge (see http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ), and lives the spiritually holistic lifestyle of the original Ebionite followers of Jesus, will find themselves being drawn into the Inner Kingdom through their Transformation of Consciousness.  With respect to using the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, our culture's attempt to erase the feminine abilities of woman, has been our self-destruction.  Quoting from Birth Development Of Mind Using Scriptures http://DivineMarriage.org#BirthScriptures

Those who understand the Natural Laws of Birth, understand that the mind develops through the interaction of the Male with the Female, who possess the ability to spiritualize and raise up the Earthly lower nature and the Higher Spiritual Nature and bring the Four Gates of the Mind into the Center Narrow Gate and evolve into a Child of the Kingdom (see The Four Gates Of The Mind http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#FourGates  ). In the allegorical account of Genesis, when Eve was drawn from the side of Adam, what is being personified is the need to develop and bring about the subsequent stages of birth through the process or rejoining Adam and Eve to restore AdamEve as stated in the Gospel of Philip: “When Eve was still with Adam, death did not exist. When she was separated from him, death came into being. If he enters again and attains his former self, death will be no more”. Thus, this teaching in the Gospel of Philip is the same as the teachings in the Gospel of Thomas: "...when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female... then will you enter the kingdom." In the allegorical Genesis account, Adam/Man and Eve/Woman were separated, so they could directly interact with each other -- thereby bringing their higher heavenly and lower earthly natures together -- and in the interaction of paradoxical opposites, the two halves that are One is then able to develop the Mind -- thereby enabling the person to achieve Wholeness, Perfection and Completion. Most Men remain intellectually and spiritually lost, because they fail to understand the transformational ability and power of Woman -- as their other half of Mind and Being. Which means that their relationships and marriages remain carnal and earthly.

An extremely important core Gospel teaching has been preserved in the Homilies of Clement in the quotations of the Apostle Peter. When you apply the Key of Knowledge to the scriptures, you turn them within your own mind -- not interpreting them outwardly or historically, in the outer world. When used as the Key of Knowledge, the journey is within one's own mind as the person is able to begin to tap into the Core Source of Consciousness within them. That the Pharisees interpreted the scriptures outwardly -- interpreting the sacred writings as historical accounts -- is why Jesus portrayed them as the "devil's spawn" who could not understand his teachings (see The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com  ). That the modern Christians read the scriptures outwardly and historically in the manner of the Pharisees, is why the modern believer fails to make spiritual progress. And this is why 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". What does this mean? By design, the scriptures cannot be understood by the Linear (male) outward-looking spheres of mind that is blind to the allegorical symgolism. And this fact is confirmed when Peter stated: "when the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind"? Why? Because it is composed in a symbolic language that can only be interpreted and understood by the inward-looking (feminine) Intuitive spheres of mind. The (male) outward-looking Linear spheres of mind attempts to interpret all things literally and historically in a three-dimensional understanding -- which is why Peter warns that "...For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself". Further, Peter warns that "...For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". What this means is that if you attempt to interpret the scriptures in accord with a Biblical Commentary -- or in accord with the teachings of a Church -- or from a three-dimensional human thought-perspective -- that you will not only fail to understand the spiritual meaning of the scriptures, but you will alienate and disenfranchise your mind from the true spiritual meaning. Why? Because the scriptures are composed in the allegorical language of the Soul that employs allegorical catalysts that are used to develop the inward-looking Intuitive Spheres of Mind.

The scriptures are designed to develop the mind and enable the marriage partners to develop themselves to the level where they are then able to achieve the next subsequent stage of birth. The strength of the Feminine-Intuitive spheres of mind which look inward, is in the relevant meaning of the allegorical symbolism of deeper inward levels of Consciousness. While the strength if the Male-Linear, is the process of seeing and understanding the larger reality to achieve Wholeness. As the Husband and Wife seek the deeper meaning of the symbolism and allegorical language of the scriptures, they begin to connect with their deeper levels of Consciousness -- which is their embracement of the Divine Design of Creation to advance from the Alpha to the Omega of Advanced Enlightened Consciousness (see The Law Of Jacob's Ladder And Mental Advancement http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#LawOFJacobsLadder   ).
Traditionally, to study Jewish Mysticism, a man had to be thirty years old, married, and living a Torah-oriented lifestyle. Why? The man develops the mind by embracing the scriptures from a Liner-driven mindset, in order to embrace the written word and Intuitively learn the meaning of the allegorical symbols. By studying the scriptures in conjunction with his wife, he is then able to bring the Male-Linear and the Female-Intuitive together, to bring about the Higher Development process of Mental-Expansion and Spiritual-Deepening. Which answers the question as to why the man studying Jewish Mysticism had to be married. When the male and female differences in consciousness is understood, we can begin to understand the answer as to why the man needs a wife to study Jewish Mysticism. An interesting reality is presented in the movie Yentl, which starred Barbra Streisand. Quoting the Wikipedia (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yentl_(film)  ) : "Yentl is a 1983 American romantic musical drama film directed, co-written, co-produced by, and starring American entertainer Barbra Streisand. It is based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's short story 'Yentl the Yeshiva Boy'. ...Yentl Mendel is a woman living in an Ashkenazi shtetl named Pechev in Poland in 1904. Yentl's father, Rebbe Mendel, secretly instructs her in the Talmud despite the proscription of such study by women according to the custom of her community. Yentl refuses to be married off to a man. After the death of her father, Yentl decides to cut her hair short, dress like a man, take her late brother's name, Anshel, and enter a Yeshiva, a Jewish religious school in Bychawa."

Why did a traditional Orthodox Jewish family reject teaching a Jewish woman the Talmud? Because teaching a woman from a Male-Linear perspective, inhibited and even atrophied the development of her crucially important Feminine-Intuitive attributes of mind -- thereby robbing her of her greatest mental strength and God-Given Gift. In an Orthodox Jewish community, other women taught young girls how to develop their intuitive feminine strengths into a transformative power that was both equal and opposite her future husband who was a student of Torah and Jewish Mysticism. And through the process of working with his wife who provided him insight into the spiritual meaning of the allegorical symbolism of the scriptures, the man and woman in a Consecrated Marriage Union could begin to develop the necessary attributes of mind that enabled them to begin to achieve the next stage of Mental-Birth. Of the original movie Yentl, the Wikipedia writes: "In Singer's story, this dual betrayal of nature and the divine plan dooms Yentl to a life of pain, alienation, and shameful dishonesty. After her marriage ends in disaster, Yentl remains trapped forever in her disguise, unable to find redemption from her rejection of a normal life—a take on the legend of the Wandering Jew". The Wikipedia then states: "In Streisand's film, Yentl's defiance of expectation and definition, a rejection of sexist gender roles, is treated as a virtue".
 
One of the greatest lessons the people of our modern culture must learn is that equal does not mean the same. Perhaps this is best expressed in the introduction of the long ignored book Brain Sex, by Anne Moir and David Jessel, where they wrote: "Men are different from women. They are equal only in their common membership of the same species, humankind. To maintain that they are the same in aptitude, skill or behavior is to build a society based on a biological and scientific lie". The key to the dilemma that confronts us today is further seen in the words of the authors with respect to their opposition to the ideas we teach our children in our modern-day politically correct culture: "What you will read in this book about the differences between men and women may make both sexes angry or smug. Both reactions are wrong. If women have reason to rage, it is not because science has set at naught their hard-won struggle towards equality; their wrath should rather be directed at those who have sought to misdirect and deny them their very essence". The book then goes on to embrace the very real statement that "Women should contribute their specific female gifts rather than waste their energies in the pursuit of a sort of surrogate masculinity. A woman’s greater imagination can solve intractable problems - be they professional or domestic - at one apparently intuitive stroke." More recently another (female) researcher named Dr Luan Brizendine has authored a book named The Female Mind. Dr. Brizendine, whose book is based on her own clinical work and analyses of more than 1,000 scientific studies, added: "There is no unisex brain. Girls arrive already wired as girls, and boys arrive already wired as boys. Their brains are different by the time they're born, and their brains are what drive their impulses, values and their very reality. I know it is not politically correct to say this but I've been torn for years between my politics and what science is telling us. I believe women actually perceive the world differently from men. If women attend to those differences they can make better decisions about how to manage their lives." These more informed decisions are basically impossible for most women in today's culture because of the biological lie that is being promoted due to political correctness. The problem is that because we dwell in a world that is generally defined by a male linear perspective -- and even striving to erase the intellectual differences between man and woman -- the true nature and depth of the feminine mind is largely an unexplored realm of vast substance and opportunity. In fact, once this far reaching reality is truly realized, one must begin to acknowledge that even men are severely anchored and inhibited by their own and societies ignorance with respect to the higher purpose and untapped potential of the female mind and the spiritual purpose of the subsequent stages of birth. In this respect, woman is the missing element in (male) man's search for God and the meaning of life -- and vise versa.
