Achieving The Subsequent Stages Of Birth- Receiving Christ
All
religions posses varying degrees of truth. The difference between the
Gospels and other religions is seen in the statement of author and
visionary Philip K. Dick who was able to recall is past life as an
original follower of Jesus, and wrote with respect to the original
teachings that: "Christ ...taught his followers how to enter
the kingdom while still alive, where other mystery religions only bring
about amnesis: knowledge of it at the 'other time' in 'the other
realm,' not here. He causes it to come here, and is the living agency
to the Sole Good God (i.e. the Logos)." All the Eastern
religions and the Mystery religions such as the example of Mithraism,
are all striving to see into man's higher reality -- mostly through
meditation and the like. In contradistinction, the Gospel teachings of
Jesus brought about the necessary Wholeness of Mind and Being that
enabled the disciple to gain entrance into the Kingdom -- i.e., "...causes it to come here, and is the living agency to the Sole Good God (i.e. the Logos)." These other paths were portrayed in the words: "From
the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been
subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it" (Matt 11:12). The Children of the Kingdom gain entrance into the Kingdom through 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) -- and that is why the Gospels have virtually nothing in common
with the Mithraism of modern Christianity -- as detailed in the
Restoration of the suppressed and corrupted Gospel teachings at

able to recall his past life as a first century follower of Jesus and
TheWay.
Wholeness
brings about the subsequent stages of birth -- quoting from The Divine
Marriage http://DivineMarriage.org : Whose birth was Jesus making
reference to when he stated to Nicodemus that "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"
(John 3:3). When Jesus said these words, he was not at all making
reference to a dogmatic religious belief that in modern times is being
promoted by many Christians who fail to understand the Laws of Birth --
i.e., "say this prayer and you are born again".
With respect to the original Gospel teachings in the first century as
documented in the words of the early Church writer Hippolytus: Jesus "...was
justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not
one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely."
And after acknowledging that Jesus accomplished all that he did by
fulfilling the Law, Hippotytus then wrote and acknowledged: "Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ" (see
Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). Therefore, the same Laws that
the man Jesus fulfilled, is the same Laws that all men and women must
fulfill, in order to achieve the subsequent stages of birth. And this is
why Hippolytus further wrote of the original teachings of Jesus that "when
Ebionites [poor-ones not of worldly culture] thus fulfill the law,
they are able to become Christs, for they assert that our Lord Himself
was a man in like sense with all humanity." (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). And this necessary fulfillment of the Law was acknowledged by Jesus in the words: "Do
not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not
come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till
heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass
from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of
the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called
least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he
shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that
unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt
5:17-20). And if we pose the question as to when Jesus became the
Christ? The original Gospel account revealed that Jesus became the
Anointed/Christed for the first time at his baptism in the Jordan where
the original Gospel stated prior to being corrupted by the fourth
century Church of Rome: "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten
thee" (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CorruptionOfGodsWords ). Which
means that the man Jesus achieved the subsequent stages of non-physical
(virgin) birth, and became the Adopted Son of God for the first time
on that day. Therefore, in the statement to Nicodemus with respect to
achieving the subsequent stages of birth, Jesus was making reference to
the Natural Laws that are the foundation and reality of Human Nature
and the very purpose of the life we are presently living, as seen in
the words: "...For the creation was subjected to futility, not
willingly, but because of Him who subjected it ...For we know that the
whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now" (Romans 8:20-22).
