Evolving Beyond Spiritual Infancy

 

The Spiritual Experiences Of Philip K. Dick: 

 

The Symbols Of Plato's Cave 

 

Seeking To Know Thyself   

 

When rightly understood, a lifetime is as a single day in the existence of the Soul -- see The Secret Doctrine http://SecretDoctrine.Nazirene.org In the same way that an Infant is mentally undeveloped, so too is the Mind of each of our Soul-Self existing in a state of immaturity -- with each life equal to a single Day in the Lives of the Soul. And you would understand this Soul-Reality if the post-Nicene Church hadn't corrupted the Gospels and changed the beliefs of the people -- see The Pre-Nicene Position Of The Church On Reincarnation https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/.../the-pre-nicene...

 

Each of us is born with the ability to tap into the knowledge of our Soul's previous lives -- but they have to pursue this sacred Knowledge. And if they fail to make the effort at developing the ability to recall their Soul's previous lives, then they will remain spiritually ignorant. The Atheist makes no effort to spiritually advance. The Christian believes and clings to the religion of Roman Emperors -- see The Religion Of Roman Emperors http://ChristianReincarnation.org#emperors   Others seek to become wealthy -- others seek sex -- still others permit themselves to become immersed in the carnal elements of this world. Resulting in a lack of development.

Jesus taught that you must live a Spiritually Holistic Mindset and Lifestyle to understand the meaning of the scriptures and tap into the Divine Mind of God -- see The Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#TheSpiritualHolisticLifestyle 

 

Like my own recall of my Soul's previous life as Jacob who they call James, the Brother of Yeshua who they call Jesus (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org ), Philip K. Dick possessed degrees of past life recall. Quoting Philip Dick's account: "When a delivery person from the pharmacy brought his pain medication, he noticed the ichthys necklace she wore and asked her what it meant. She responded that it was a symbol used by the early Christians, and in that moment Dick's religious experiences began: Thus, the image of the early Christian symbol acted as a catalyst that initiated recall of his Soul's previous life as a first century Christian of which he wrote:

 

"In that instant, as I stared at the gleaming fish sign and heard her words, I suddenly experienced what I later learned is called anamnesis—a Greek word meaning, literally, "loss of forgetfulness." I remembered who I was and where I was. In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, it all came back to me. And not only could I remember it but I could see it. The girl was a secret Christian and so was I. We lived in fear of detection by the Romans. We had to communicate with cryptic signs. She had just told me all this, and it was true. For a short time, as hard as this is to believe or explain, I saw fading into view the black, prison like contours of hateful Rome. But, of much more importance, I remembered Jesus, who had just recently been with us, and had gone temporarily away, and would very soon return. My emotion was one of joy. We were secretly preparing to welcome Him back. It would not be long. And the Romans did not know. They thought He was dead, forever dead. That was our great secret, our joyous knowledge. Despite all appearances, Christ was going to return, and our delight and anticipation were boundless."

 

The Fundamentalists who are of a physical-only three-dimensional mindset, can only grasp the text of the written words of the scriptures. But the scriptures were composed by mystics who viewed this world as a type of prison that held mankind captive in a world of shadow-images as portrayed in the analogy of Plato's Cave (see Plato's Cave http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#Cave ). 

 

The author and visionary Philip K. Dick was able to recall his Soul's previous life in the first century where he lived as an original follower of Jesus. He also wrote with respect to the original disciples of Jesus 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)." These other mystery religions that Philip Dick was making reference to, sacrificed the earthly in order to achieve amnesis insights and vision. Under the heading of Anamnesis (Philosophy), the Wikipedia states: It is the idea that humans possess knowledge from past incarnations and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge within us". The article then goes on to say:Socrates' response is to develop his theory of anamnesis. He suggests that the soul is immortal, and repeatedly incarnated; knowledge is actually in the soul from eternity... What one perceives to be learning, then, is actually the recovery of what one has forgotten. (Once it has been brought back it is true belief, to be turned into genuine knowledge by understanding.) And thus Socrates (and Plato) sees himself, not as a teacher, but as a midwife, aiding with the birth of knowledge that was already there in the student. 

 

While higher vision can be achieved via Anamnesis through the focus on the third-eye associated with the sixth spiritual center -- as well as the raising of what is portrayed as the kundalini energy from the base of the spine into the upper spiritual centers. The limitation of what Philip K. Dick portrayed as the Mystery Religions is presented in his words when he referenced these "...other mystery religions only bring about amnesis: knowledge of it at the 'other time' in 'the other realm,' not here." Many of these mystery religions claim that the goal is to "get above the mind" -- thereby leaving the mind itself undeveloped. What was the basis of Philip Dick's assessment? The Answer: You must build a Living Temple where all duality is developed and brought into the Center of your Being. 

 

And it is this inner journey to our Source or True-Self that is historically portrayed by the mystics in the image at the right. And with respect to this inner journey to our Source of Being, author and visionary Philip K. Dick stated in The Ten Principles Of The Gnostic Revelation where he portrays the realty of the person you are in this world with your higher soul-self where he wrote: "Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us to awaken us. This other personality is the authentic waking self; the one we have now is asleep and minor" -- which confirms the statements of Giordano Bruno. Which should raise the question: What does each person have to do to make this inward journey to their True-Self? 

 

While Giordano Bruno was bunt at the stake for teaching Christians the Original Gospel concepts and teachings that were suppressed by the Church (see The Restored Gospel Teachings http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ), the account of Philip K. Dick reveals to seekers the purpose of the allegorical catalysts used in the scriptures to connect the person we are in this world with our Higher Source of Being.

 

The Feminine Problem Of Interacting With Most Men  

 

Most Men have pre-defined Women from a Sexual Perspective -- i.e., a sexual partner, or the mother of their children in a family environment.  Thus, the problem confronting most women is seen in the fact that the majority of men are stronger than women.  Stronger to the degree that men can and do literally enslave women -- making her a part of their Harem.  Men often beat women - rape her -- force her into a sexualized lifestyle -- and in accord with the majority of men's perception, there is no higher Feminine perspective that they need to hear and understand.   Men do not see women as necessary for their Mental and Spiritual Development.  Most Men do not understand that Woman is the opposite polarity (half) of their own Soul-Mind.  Therefore, for most men, it is impossible for a Spiritually Advanced Women to interact with men on an Advanced Spiritual Level of Mind and Consciousness.  

Developing The Feminine Powers Of Consciousness By Achieving The Subsequent Stage Of Birth With Her Husband in a Spiritual Marriage-Covenant

Jesus taught his followers how to fulfill and overcome the Natural Laws. An example of the Natural Laws is manifest in the Law of Birth -- i.e., In the 22nd saying of the Gospel of Thomas and other first century writings, all growth and development is brought about, "...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." Which is confirmed in the Gospel of Philip where the Spiritual Facts of Life are presented in the words: “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”. The vast majority of women remain undeveloped and a mere shadow of their true higher reality and potential, because they have been imprisoned and grounded by their own male mindset and thinking. While each woman exists with great potential, she is inhibited from attaining her true potential by virtue of the limitations and control imposed upon her by the men in her life. 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/Positive and Female/Negative when we entered this world. What this means is that when man meets woman, it is in reality one half or polarity of the mind meeting and interacting with the other half -- both of them divided opposites with greatly differing mental perceptions and abilities -- each with the capacity to fill the mental void of their spouse -- and when brought together in Balanced Wholeness, Pure Intellectual and Spiritual Enlightened Genus is the result. In the Genesis account, woman is portrayed as mans "help-meet". Therefore, when man meets woman, two halves of the Mind are brought together with the capacity to interact, grow and evolve to Wholeness and Completion.

When Nicodemus said to Jesus: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” And Jesus portrayed the need to bring about the subsequent stage of birth, his use of the term birth made reference to a non-physical Mental and Spiritual level of birth that was brought about through the interaction of Male and Female on a higher level of Consciousness. The original followers of Jesus who spoke with him daily, all of whom witnessed to the fact that Jesus was physically born in the conventional way as the genetic offspring of Mary and Joseph, correctly portrayed the Virgin birth as the interaction of the Higher Male and Female levels of Consciousness and Birth that each person must bring about and experience -- i.e., a Higher Process of Birth that cannot be brought about with words in a prayer. The original (Ebionite) followers of Jesus witnessed to the fact that "...Jesus of Nazareth was a mere mortal, the legitimate son of Joseph and Mary: but he was the best and wisest of the human race, selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon earth the worship of the true and supreme Deity. When he was baptized in the Jordan, the Christ, the first of the aeons, the Son of God himself, descended on Jesus in the form of a dove, to inhabit his mind, and direct his actions during the allotted period of his ministry” (Gibbon; The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, V.4, P.366). And this fact was confirmed when God spoke the words at what is personified as the Baptism of Jesus when the Voice of the Father said: "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee" (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CorruptionOfGodsWords  ) -- which means that the man Jesus became Anointed/Christed and Adopted as the Son of God for the first time, when Jesus achieved the subsequent stage of birth at his baptism in the Jordan River. It is important to point out that the mother of Jesus was an Ebionite. And if the question is posed as to why the original Ebionite followers of Jesus take the position that he was the genetic offspring of Mary and Joseph? Because he explained to them how to bring about the subsequent stages of birth. And Jesus also explained to his original followers the meaning of the symbol of the NON-PHYSICAL Virgin birth that must be brought about in order to be restored to the Kingdom. Like his statement to Nicodemus, Jesus stated that EVERY person must achieve the subsequent NON-PHYSICAL (Virgin) birth -- but the Gentiles who did not understand the Natural Laws, corrupted the Gospels and made the Virgin birth applicable only to the man Jesus.

Why did Jesus pose the question pertaining to achieving the subsequent stage of birth? As a teacher of Israel, Jesus fully expected Nicodemus to understand the Natural Laws and the subsequent stages of non-physical Birth that each person as the prodigal son must evolve through, in order to return or be restored to the Edenic Kingdom. And in acknowledgement of the Natural Laws, the words of Jesus are true with respect to every person who has ever walked the face of the earth. And therein lies the problem as seen in the fact that few people understand the purpose and reason they are living their present life. Fewer yet understand the objectives of life in this realm. Why? Because the vast majority of people are the lost prodigal sons whose thinking is controlled by what is personified as the "Citizen" of the Far Country -- i.e., often portrayed as a suppressed level of consciousness that is depicted as from the "outer darkness" of mind and being. In the analogy of Plato's Cave, this suppressed level of consciousness is portrayed as being a prisoner in the Cave of Illusions. A suppressed level of consciousness which Jesus portrayed as a condition of death -- i.e., “Another disciple said to him, Lord, first let me go and bury my father. But Jesus told him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead” (Matt 8:21-22). Thus, Jesus portrayed the consciousness of the organic people of this world as dwelling in a state of death. Which is why Jesus stated that each person must "turn" from the ways and thinking of the cultures and religions of this world -- fulfill the Natural Laws of Birth -- and by achieving the subsequent stages of birth which transforms the person by their evolving into what can be personified as a child of the Kingdom -- i.e., "Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 18:3). What Jesus was stating was that, unless you turn from the thinking and lifestyle of this world that is consumed with the fulfilling of the appetites of our lower animal/earthly nature, and you seek to fulfill the Natural Laws of subsequent birth, you cannot become a Child who has been restored to the Edenic Kingdom. And just as important is to understand the verse which the Church removed about the Child (see The Verse Removed From The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#Children ).

 

We are the Prodigal Sons of our Heavenly Father/Mother. The Prodigal Son must be transformed into the Light, and evolve through the subsequent stages of birth in the Womb of the Far Country, in order to be reunited to his heavenly Father in the Kingdom. Each person must escape the "outer darkness" of mind and being, by fulfilling the Law of God that brings about the necessary Wholeness of Mind and Being. Every person possesses the inherent ability to bring about the subsequent process of birth in their life. How? By evolving their mind and consciousness -- thereby fulfilling the Natural Laws by achieving the subsequent stage of birth as found in many of the first century teachings which were suppressed by the Church of Rome. Perhaps the best example is presented in the Gospel of Thomas where Jesus was asked about becoming a child of the Kingdom: "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and 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." The requirement set forth is to evolve the Male and Female to the level where "...the male not be male nor the female female" -- which has virtually nothing in common with the marriages of this world. In the same way that when a sperm and ovum join, rapid and intense development takes place as the sperm develops the ovum and the ovum develops the sperm in the growth and development of the fetus, this same rapid and intense development of Mind and Spirit must be brought about until Wholeness is achieve in a Spiritual Marriage. Therefore, what Jesus is portraying is the next stage of birth when the person brings the Male/Positive and Female/Negative polarities of Mind together within them in Oneness and Wholeness. What this means is that when you bring these conditions about in your body, mind and spirit, you will fulfill the Natural Laws and experience the subsequent stages of birth -- a NON-PHYSICAL level of birth which the ancients portrayed as a virgin birth. Why was it portrayed as a virgin birth? Because the physical body/flesh and mind had to be virginally pure and undefiled, sanctified and and transformed, to be totally united and immersed in the spiritual energy of the Divine, to bring about the subsequent stages of birth and become a child of the Kingdom -- i.e., "Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?" (1 Cor 3:16). And this is why it is stated in the Epistle of James: "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead" -- meaning, faith and belief without the purification and transformation of the physical mind and body, cannot bring about the subsequent stage of (virgin-pure) birth.

As a man who has achieved Enlightenment and Anointing/Christing in achieving the subsequent stages of birth, Jesus came to teach sincere seekers how to fulfill the Natural Laws that enable the person to achieve Wholeness. Virtually every religion has virgin born saviors which personify achieving the subsequent non-physical stages of mental and spiritual birth -- thereby receiving the Kingdom as a child. And this was predicted by Jesus when it is warned: "I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matt 8:11-12). Jesus further taught that there were alternate or other paths into the Kingdom. Modern Christians cannot explain the Gospel statement: "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). How are they violent? And how does the violent "lay claim" to the Kingdom? It appears that Jesus is stating that there are alternative paths into the Kingdom as stated in the words: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber" (John 10:1 -- see The Natural Path Vs Taking The Kingdom By Force http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#NaturalPathToWholeness ).

In the allegorical account of Genesis mankind is portrayed as being created in the image of God -- which means that everything you see in the outer world, exists also in your inner consciousness -- and is in reality a reflection or mirror-image of your own mind.
