The purpose of life is to mentally and spiritually advance and develop.  This process of advancement is brought about by returning to each person the fruit of their own judgments and actions towards their brothers and sisters as in the statements: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" (Matt 7:12) -- AND “Do not judge, or you will be judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured [back] to you" (Matt 7:1-2).  What this means is that, not only your actions, but also your judgments of others will be monitored by the Natural Laws and brought back upon you.  And therein lies the problem as seen in the fact that unless you understand the reality of the pre-existent soul that evolves to wholeness and perfection over the course of many lives or life-cycles (a.k.a. reincarnation), it will be very difficult to near impossible to understand the Natural Laws that bring this evolution of consciousness about in the life of all of mankind.  Therefore, ultimately, the only God-Given and Ordained requirement to life is to treat your brothers and sisters as you would yourself want to be treated.  And since the Natural Laws monitor every thought to determine whether that thought is a discernment to understand, or a judgment to reject and condemn -- as well as our actions towards our brothers and sisters, if you fail to treat others as you would want to be treated, then the Natural Laws will bring your own thoughts and actions back upon you.  And it is these Natural Laws as expressed in the reality of the Laws of Nature and Nature's God in which we are all immersed, which is the foundation of both the Gospel teachings, and the principles of Deism which is the foundation of the American Constitutional form of government. 

With respect to the process of mentally and spiritually advancing, let me quote from two teachings found in the 90th chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes (see http://gospel.nazirene.org/gospel_nine.htm#chapter90   ): "God gives you all truth, as a ladder with many steps, for the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth which seems today, you will abandon for the higher truth tomorrow. Press toward perfection."   The teaching presents what is portrayed as Jacob's Ladder of advancement where the Natural Laws will not permit you to advance beyond the rung you are presently on, until (1) you have fully pulled yourself up to that level; and (2), you are prepared to let go of the lesser truths which you clung to at the previous lower level/rung.  There is no short cuts, because the Natural Laws monitor your progress and advancement.  You can't jump over rungs.  And you must pull yourself up fully, before reaching out to grab the next higher rung. 

Man's greater intellect is the result of his ability to simultaneously see all sides of a single equation or truth.  But for this higher reality of consciousness to evolve, the ability to see and understand from different and often opposite perspectives, must be evolved both independently, and in conjunction with each other.  How this growth is accomplished once again is brought about by the Natural Laws which expose each part or segment of the duality of lesser truths at the level of the rungs of the ladder that you are presently at (quoting the second teaching): "The One truth has many sides, and one sees one side only, another, and some see more than others, according as it is given to them. Behold this crystal; how the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yea four times twelve, and each face reflects one ray of light, and one regards one face, and another, another, but it is the one crystal, and the one light that shines in all. Behold again, When one climbs a mountain and attaining one height, he says, this is the top of the mountain, let us reach it, and when they have reached that height, lo, they see another beyond it until they come to that height from which no other height is to be seen, if so be they can attain it."     

The great diversity of opinions and divisions among men is inborn and not by individual choice.  Thereby demonstrating the above statement that "One truth has many sides".  Which means that what we would portray as Elevated Consciousness, means that a person has arisen to the level where that a person can see and simultaneously comprehend from a number of these opposite perspectives that is the measure of that person's level of intellect.  But to maintain this level of consciousness as the person climbs the proverbial Jacob's Ladder, means that each segment of a person's intellect must be both developed independently, and in conjunction with its opposite perspectives and polarities in order to achieve the necessary balance of the opposites.  And this developmental-segmentation and interaction of opposites, must be both monitored and maintained by the Natural Laws in order to bring about higher evolutionary-manifestation.  In the allegory of the scriptures in the above quotation and teaching, the twelve faces represent the twelve spheres of mind that is patterned in the diagram of the Tree of Life -- with each of the twelve spheres of mind perceptively seeing and understanding from a different and often paradoxical perspective.  Further divided by the male and female duality patterned in the outer columns of the Tree of Duality in what is portrayed as the forbidden fruit.   

What does this mean?  In the above teaching where it states  "The One truth has many sides" -- and then explains that:  "...and one sees one side only, another, and some see more than others, according as it is given to them" -- what this means is that each person is born being polarized to one of the twelve spheres of mind -- and even further divided by the twelve within each of the pattern of twelve as portrayed in the words: "...Behold this crystal; how the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yea four times twelve, and each face reflects one ray of light".  Why? in order to develop, each of the opposite and opposing paradoxical perspectives that is the foundation of potential of our higher levels of intelligence, must develop both separately, and in conjunction with the opposite spheres of mind that enable us to achieve higher and more advanced levels of consciousness where we can see and understand from many diverse and often opposite perspectives.  Therefore, in each life we are born polarized to one sphere and aspect of mind, in order to develop that attribute of consciousness.  Can we embrace truth empathically with those people who we interact with who are polarized from a different or even opposite aspect of mind?  Empathy can be defined as our ability to suspend our own thinking so as to be able to project ourselves into the life of another person to better understand from their perspective.  And to be successful, we must do this through empathetic-discernment and not judgment.  Which means that growth and development is attained when we are able to see and understand from many sides of the mental-equation -- as stated in the above teaching were  "...some see more than others, according as it is given to them".   Because the thinking of each person is polarized to a single point of Mind as personified in the words "...how the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yea four times twelve, and each face reflects one ray of light" -- each of us are able to mentally and spiritually evolve, as our own thoughts and actions are returned back to us from life to life.       

How is each person's evolutionary-advancement accomplished?  The Law is that all judgments and actions must return to their source.  And to keep this process simple in explanation, the actions we do to a person in one life, will be returned and come back upon us in another life.  A more in-depth step by step explanation will be presented in the below article on The Tree Of Life

Introduction

After eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Duality (aka Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil), the statement was made in the allegorical account of Genesis: "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever" (Gen 3:22-23).   Thus, the promise is that those who eat the fruit of the Tree of Life, will live forever.  That the Tree of Life is something that all of mankind can gain access to, and be nourished by the Divine Manna and life-giving fruit thereof, is demonstrated in the statement in the Revelation: "'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God'" (Rev 2:7).  Thus, like the prodigal son who after "coming to his senses", began the inner journey and his return to the Kingdom, "...To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God'".  And journeying in TheWay, "To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna" (Rev 2:8-17).   While receiving the Hidden Manna is the promise of the Gospel, the promise can only be bestowed upon those who make the inward journey.  So long as you remain complacent in this, the Far Country, you will remain in the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- i.e., "But when the king... saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing, and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.   Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.' For many are called, but few chosen" (Matt 22:1-14). Why are many called but few chosen? Because as the prodigal son/daughter, you must put on the necessary "wedding garment", journey inwardly through the "narrow strait gate", and come to TheCall To The Wedding Banquette http://TheCall.Nazirene.org .     

When rightly understood, the pattern of the Tree of Life that Jesus taught his inner core of disciples, had Twelve (12) Spheres that presented to the seeker the blueprint of the mind -- i.e., "In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations" (Rev 22:2).  Without understanding the pattern of the Twelve Spheres of Mind and the testing of the Law of Octaves -- and how the Intervals of the Law of Octaves tests every word, thought, desire and deed that a person generates -- and the entrance through the "narrow strait gate" -- it will remain virtually impossible to understand the process of spiritual growth and transformation.  As stated in the Epistle of Peter to James, that if the body of esoteric knowledge that Jesus taught to his faith core of disciples were to become lost, that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error". -- and when this essential knowledge was thrown away and even outlawed by the fourth century Church of Constantine -- along with the application of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge (see Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge ), the faith-based believers of the Church has blindly "...wandered in error". 

The Suppression Of How Wholeness Is Achieved: The doctrine that man is a congenital sinner who was born in sin and in need of a Savior as proposed in the Augustinian doctrine of Original Sin (see The Folly Of Original Sin) was imported into the Church from the Mithraic based teachings of the Iranian prophet Mani, in order to explain and fill the great void that the Church suppression of important teachings on the pre-existent soul created.   The fact that it is easily proven that the original disciples of Jesus believed in the pre-existent Soul that evolved to Wholeness and Completion over the course of many lifetimes (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development ) -- and that the Church Father Origen was correct when he explained that “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis - see The Early Church On Predestination), means that there is no place in the Original Gospel teachings for the doctrine of Original Sin which is the foundation of the modern Church, and was incorporated into the Church doctrine when the teachings on the pre-existent soul was suppressed and outlawed.   Why was this ultra-important teaching outlawed?  Because the spiritually disenfranchised clergy and secular leaders in the Church did not want to embrace the original teaching that they had to pick up their cross and follow the pattern of Jesus in becoming Whole -- they only wanted to believe in him from the Mithraic perception of him as the latest incarnation of God incarnate who only required the person to believed in.   The Roman Emperor Constantine was not baptized until he was on his death-bed, and he did this in order for him to ensure his salvation.   He had been informed by the Pagan priests that he was too evil to obtain his salvation -- but was promised by the quasi-Christian clergy that the rite of baptism would absolve him from of his sins.   In order to assure his salvation, Constantine kept a Christian priest in constant tow, in order to baptize him at his death.   But what this also means is that from an Original Gospel perspective where the deeds of Constantine and the faux-priests of the Church would be confronted by their evil deeds in subsequent lifetimes -- i.e., “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7) -- confirmed that there is no salvation in merely believing in Jesus as modern Christians maintain to this very day -- i.e., "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven..." (Matt 7:21-23).  Which means that apart from achieving the necessary Wholeness, there is no salvation in merely believing in Jesus as maintained by the Church.  But what this also meant was that the whole teaching on the journey of the pre-existent Soul that evolves to Wholeness and Completion over the course of many UNIQUE lifetimes, had to be totally suppressed and even outlawed.   But what this also means is that the foundation of the Church has been built upon a lie and a bogus fraud.   

With respect to the removal and suppression of the original teaching on the pre-existent Soul, quoting Prof. Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Prof. Burrows writes: “There are those who believe or assume that the Greek and Hebrew texts from which our translations are made are infallible. No person who has studied textual criticism at all could believe that. The most conservative scholars in the most conservative churches recognize that the text has become corrupt at many points in the course of its transmission. If that were not already well known and universally admitted, the Dead Sea Scrolls would demonstrate it conclusively.”  When Prof. John Allegro was quoted as saying that what has been revealed in the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is a great amount of overwhelming evidence that “...may upset a great many basic teachings of the Christian Church.   This in turn would greatly upset many Christian Theologians and believers.   The heart of the matter is, in fact, the source and originality of Christian doctrine” (August 1966 issue of Harpers Magazine), few modern Christians have even begun to understand why Prof. Allegro made this statement, which confirmed the position of A. Powell Davies that: “Biblical scholars were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been” (quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls).  What was it about the Original Foundational Gospel teachings that had virtually nothing in common with what modern Christians believe today?   And perhaps the more important question: Does it matter?

Once this truth is established in our minds, how, then, do we justify the advice and prediction of the Apostle Paul when he wrote that even men who have wives should live as if they were not married, because the time was so short till the end: ”What I mean, brothers", writes Paul, ”is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none” (1 Cor 7:29 NIV).  Bible commentaries with reluctance point out the Paul's End Times prediction was in error -- but was it?   From the perspective of the Original Gospel Teachings, Paul's prediction was correct -- and as stated by Clement where he wrote of Jesus' teachings: “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’”.   Thus, the Bible commentaries are wrong, and Paul was correct in his prediction of that "...the time is short" for those who have fulfilled the requirement set forth by Jesus when he replied to the man asking when the Kingdom would come and said, when "...two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”. 

That the primary objective of the Gospel is to prepare and enable the seeker/disciple to enter the Kingdom, is further demonstrated in Jesus' condemnation of the blind religious leaders as seen in the words: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to" (Matt 23:13 NIV).  Which means that the scriptures cannot be read in the traditional Linear and Historical perspective, because they are designed to develop the Inward looking Intuitive spheres of mind that has the ability to tap into an Inner Source of Truth and Knowledge. 

Relying upon human interpretation of the scriptures is the reason why Paul cautioned Titus to “Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned” (Titus 3:10-11 NIV). The Greek meaning of the word divisive is “one who promotes a sect”.  Which means that all the sects and Churches who promote a Bible interpretation and/or commentary, is under the control of what can be portrayed as the Satanic forces of the Anti-Christ.   Writing about schisms and divisions, the Church Father Turtillian writes: “On this point, however, we dwell no longer, since it is the same Paul who, in his Epistle to the Galatians, counts 'heresies' among 'the sins of the flesh,' who also intimates to Titus, that 'a man who is a heretic' must be 'rejected after the first admonition,' on the ground that 'he that is such is perverted, and committeth sin, as a self-condemned man.' Indeed, in almost every epistle, when enjoining on us (the duty) of avoiding false doctrines, he sharply condemns heresies. Of these the practical effects are false doctrines, called in Greek heresies, a word used in the sense of that choice which a man makes when he either teaches them (to others) or takes up with them (for himself). For this reason it is that he calls the heretic self-condemned, because he has himself chosen that for which he is condemned”.  In the gospel preached by Paul, heresy is considered a “sin of the flesh”, because schisms and divisions are the result of natural man clinging to ideas of a carnal nature.

The Process of Birth Within The Tree Of Life

I am presenting the following as an explanation to the modern Christians who have been victimized by the religious leaders throughout the past, and possess virtually no understanding of the nature of the original teachings of Jesus that have been suppressed by the Church.   And this is especially true with respect to the question of why the Bible rejects the modern issue of homosexual marriage?  Why Jesus portrayed adultery as sin?   And perhaps just as important is the issue as to whether Catholic priests should have the right to marry?  In the below I set numerous links where important subjects and human realities are explored in great depth.   These links are necessary, because they permit me to write in summary.   Which means that to truly understand the transformative power of the Divine Marriage as a catalyst to become nourished by the life-giving fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, it is imperative to understand the foundational environment in which man's access to the Tree of Life is obtained.  

With respect to attaining Oneness with first our True Self, and ultimately the Indwelling Logos: If what you are asking was easy -- and the process could be easily conveyed -- then the biblical authors would have written it down literally, so that seekers would know the process.   But this is not at all the case -- as demonstrated at http://TheThreeLies.com#mystery .   And this to the degree that Paul stated to the same people who he had himself taught the elementary principles of the Gospel which he called the "testimony of Christ" -- that if he had spoken to them with any degree of spiritual maturity and higher spiritual wisdom, that they would reject what he would state as utter "foolishness"!   And this inability for man in his organic condition of mind to perceive and comprehend his own higher Soul and spiritual reality, is true across the spectrum of humanity -- and is as valid today, as when those words were written 2000 years ago.   Why?   Because what is required is self-knowledge -- as stated in the Gospel of Thomas: "...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty".   Self-Knowledge includes, but is not limited to, (1) an understanding of what we portray as the Cosmology of Mind and Being (see http://SoulSelf.org ); (2) an understanding of the Laws and Forces of Mind upon which man's consciousness is manifest; (3) including a thorough understanding of one's own relationship to their higher Soul-Self; (4) an understanding of the personality that you are in relation to the personalities that your Soul-Self has lived in what is often portrayed as the previous and future lives of your higher Soul-Self; (5) an understanding of your higher Soul-Self's relationship to Creator-God; (6) your Soul's relationship to all other Souls that dwell within the Mind of God; (7) and the dynamics of the relationship and reality of the male/female paradoxical opposites of both Creation and the Divine Pattern, as well as the dynamics of the holographic pattern as expressed within your own mind and being.   

The process is not a merging with one's higher self -- we don't merge with our higher Soul-Self that is a Being Of Light (see http://BeingOfLight.com ) which we are an embryonic projection of -- and exists in an inner reality of mind and being -- but as Jesus stated to Nicodemus, you must bring about the next stage of birth -- i.e., Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).   But what exactly was Jesus making reference to?    Is the birth process that of repeating words in what is commonly portrayed as the Sinners Prayer?    In the same way that physical birth requires the merging and development of male and female essence in the womb, the next stage of birth requires the merging of the male and female paradoxical opposite spheres of mind within you -- as stated in the Gospel of Thomas saying 22 (see Saying 22): They said to him, "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."   In the same way that an embryo which is the merging of male and female essence, must evolve through the stages of embryo, fetus, infant and eventually to maturity, the third-force balance of the male/female duality within your own mind must evolve to maturity.   One of the problems is that man is a complex being -- with the Tree of Life being a representation and pattern of your own mind.   Which means that the pattern of your own mind is the manifestation of four (4) trinities -- comprised of four (4) male/female paradoxical opposites which comprise the Tree of Duality (a.k.a. Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil) -- with the essence of the Tree of Life being the four third-force balance spheres where the duality of the opposites must be brought together and evolved to maturity.  The process of birth requires Wholeness -- a term not understood that is used throughout the Gospels.   In the same way that the Trinity is portrayed as Mother/Father God and the Third-Force balance/offspring portrayed as the Logos or Son of God, all of Creation is a manifestation of the Divine Pattern that is holographically imprinted into every aspect of Creation.  Wholeness, from the perspective of man that brings about the next stage of birth -- thereby permitting the person we are in this world to be At-One with our higher Soul-Self (see http://SoulSelf.org ) -- is achieved when the third-force balance of the four trinities within our own mind and being have achieved a condition of fullness -- and this fullness enables the next stage of birth to be brought about -- a condition of fullness and wholeness which prompted the disciples to make reference to themselves as children.  In the Gospel of Thomas (GofT) saying 22 this reality is portrayed in the question: They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"   With respect to these four trinities and their respective third-force balance-spheres that comprise the Essence of the Tree of Life, they can be portrayed as the perfect balance of what is often spoken of as Earth, Water, Fire and Air -- which when in the condition of evolved balance and wholeness, is portrayed as the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed.  And the references to receiving the Kingdom as a child in the four Gospels, is a corruption of this reality where you must evolve the third-force balance within the four trinities of your own mind, and achieve the next stage of birth -- which birth we often portray as Soul-birth -- in that, this next stage of birth enables you to become At-One with your higher Soul-Self which is your True Self that you are an expression of.   After all, as stated that a House Divided cannot stand.   After achieving the next stage of birth which we portray as Soul-Birth, there are still two additional stages of birth which can be portrayed as Spiritual-Birth, and the final stage of birth which is allegorically portrayed in the crucifixion where one is At-One with God in the Totality of their Being -- thus, reuniting the divided realities of Adam and Eve on all levels within you, permitting a return to what is portrayed as the Garden of Eden (see http://GateOfEden.com ).   Quoting from The Pattern Of Mind And Being:

@@@

  Women polarized positive at breasts: In the same way that men and women are polarized opposite polarities, their inherent gender weaknesses, needs and desires are also opposite.    Men are polarized positive at the genitals -- which empowers the lower animal nature (see Organic Man Controlled By His Lower Animal Nature) -- and is often totally controlled and consumed by his need to fulfill the appetites of his lower nature.  What this means is that while men are easily controlled by the often unmanageable flow of vital (sexual) life-force that flows from their genital regions, women, on the other hand, are polarized opposite in the genitals, and thus are able to exert a greater amount of control with respect to their sexuality.  On the other hand, women's breasts which, unlike the animal kingdom are perpetually enlarged because her body serves a higher purpose than just providing nourishment for infants, is polarized positive in this area of mind. This positive polarization is often seen as being over emotional, sensitive, empathetic, and much more feeling than her male counterpart who perceives life through the vision of linear mathematical logic. Thus, the male is polarized negative at that level of mind that corresponds to the breast, in order to receive this higher and more refined vital life-force back from his wife -- thereby creating a circle between them that initiates mental/spiritual development and the birth of the child of Truth within the two that are One.
Look around you at the world and you will observe the male's absolute fixation on women's breasts.  Why?  Not because of their desire to nurse as some of our psychologists have reasoned -- but rather, because they possess an absolute need for the vital life-force energy from that region of mind where women are polarized positive.  The problem is that because they fail to comprehend the Divine Pattern, and do not realize that they can only receive this vital life-force from a Wife in a Genuine Marriage -- and most women whose thinking and lifestyle have been molded by our culture and modern society are (sexually) polluted and cannot provide the man the mental/spiritual nourishment that they (men) crave (see Sexual Immorality  http://SoulSelf.org#SexualImmorality ), they continually look to other women in search of what they can only receive from just one who is their genuine wife.

The problem is twofold -- i.e., neither the men nor the women are able to fulfill the biological, mental and spiritual needs of their respective spouse/partner, so they look to others instead of developing the depth of the relationship between themselves.  Men are constantly looking at other women, and are therefore expelling their vital life-force -- i.e., "...But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matt 5:28 NIV).   Their female partners dress provocatively so as to be seen as sexual objects -- flirt with other men so they can feel the energy within them stir and move their positively charged (sexual) centers -- and work outside the home in their endeavor to be with others, acquire materialistic things, and maintain a state of independence from their spouses. While this may be a marriage in the eyes of this world or the church, it is not genuine in the spiritual meaning of the marriage relationship where the two become One Flesh!

Carnal man is literally staving for the higher reality and vital-life force that he craves.  Woman feels incomplete -- as if she is deprived of sex and fulfillment -- because she cannot raise up and release the energy within herself. The problem is not only her own inability to raise up this energy passed on to her by males, but there are no males who are able to receive it from her.  She therefore feels unsatisfied, discontent, and ungratified in her life.  Some women feel that they will achieve the satisfaction they desire by going out to work -- being independent -- and making their way in the business world.  But this is not the solution.  The problem is that she is incomplete -- and even when she attempts to enter into a relationship with a man, in time her incompleteness will return.  She craves to express herself -- to strive for higher meaning -- to feel complete -- but because of her inability to enter into a Genuine Marriage where she can raise herself up to new spiritual heights, she is destined to remain discontent and incomplete.

The man, on the other hand, unknowingly crave what only a genuine wife can provide to him.  Being polarized negative at that part of the mind associated with the chest, he feels a great void in his life that he falsely interprets as a lack of sex.  He unconsciously is drawn to women's breast, because that is the source of bio-energy he desires and craves.   He therefore seeks out many women in search of what he can receive from only one.  He often is addicted to pornography and nudity -- intoxicated with the naked female form, and especially the breasts -- ever searching for what he cannot have and possess -- bound to the elemental things of this world through the unquenchable appetite of his senses.

  The Application Of The Law Of Octaves And The Real Trinity:  Why does the Gospels portray man as having been born blind?  Incapable of comprehending not only the spiritual meaning of the Gospels, but also his own higher Soul-Realty?  Why can't mankind Know God?   Why can't mankind see God?  Why is the mind of man limited in his cognitive ability?   Does mankind possess the ability to comprehend the mysteries of life and the universe?  The answer to this question is affirmative -- i.e., man has the innate ability to know the Truth of all Truths -- and the Source of this Truth exists at the Essence of his own Consciousness.  And it is only a matter of understanding the Natural Laws, and putting one's understanding into action. 

One of the primary teachings of the Original Gospels was to reveal to the seeker/disciple how to prevail over the Natural Laws that limited his/her consciousness.  But because the Gospel teachings were corrupted, the body of teachings are no longer as effective at opening the mind of the seeker/disciple to the Higher Truth of all Truths.  Therefore, many people seeking the answers to life have rejected the doctrines of the Church, and they instead pursue the path of science.  But because the vast majority of scientists lack an understanding of the Natural Laws which control the consciousness of mankind, there exists great voids that act as great obstacles in the path of scientific inquiry and higher understanding.  As an example:  Why can't science comprehend the mysteries of the Universe?  Robert Jastrow, an astrophysicist who headed the NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, pointed out that the big bang is not exactly an explanation of cause.  He is quoted in The Aquarian Conspiracy: “If a scientist really examines the implications, he would be traumatized. As usual, when the mind is faced with trauma, it reacts by ignoring the implications - in science this is called ‘refusing to speculate’ - or by trivializing the origin of the world by calling it the Big Bang, as if the universe were merely a firecracker”.   Mr. Jastrow then continues and states: “Consider the enormousness of the problem: Science has proved that the universe exploded into being at a certain moment. It asks, what cause produced this effect? Who or what put the matter and energy into the universe? Was the universe created out of nothing or was it gathered together out of pre-existing materials? And science cannot answer these questions... It is not a matter of another year, another decade of work, another measurement, or another theory. At this moment it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the mystery of creation”.  In an article Things That Science Can't Explain by Dr. Claude Swanson, he writes: "There are many things modern science cannot explain, and yet they occur anyway. This includes phenomena in the "hard sciences" as well as in the paranormal. These effects are now being proven in the laboratory, even though they defy present scientific theory. These unfolding mysteries point the way to a new, deeper science, a science which no longer denies spirit and consciousness, but acknowledges and embraces them.  In the past three decades scientific evidence has accumulated showing that the present scientific paradigm is broken."

Why is limitations placed upon the intellect and mind of mankind?  The Answer: Because he does not understand what can be called The Law of Octaves -- and as warned by the Enlightened Deists of the past, in his organic condition of mind man lacks an understanding of the Natural Laws as personified in The Laws of Nature and Nature's God.  And in not understanding what these same Enlightened Deists portrayed as the foundational theology of what is known as the Clockmaker Universe, even the purpose of life remains an unknown and unconquerable enigma to even the most intelligent among mankind.   Yet, because of the effect of the Law of Octaves, the answer to all the mysteries of life perpetually lie before man's eyes -- but until we learn why we are blind to our own higher Soul-Reality, we will continue not to see the answers to the very life we are living (see The Three Causes Of Human Blindness http://CausalFactor.Nazirene.org#TheThreeCausesOfHumanBlindness ).  To further clarify this statement: There is no such thing as secret knowledge -- i.e., God and the knowledge of all the mysteries of Creation lie before our very eyes -- but we remain blind to our own Higher Reality.  Why?  Because we are ignorant of the purpose and effect of the Natural Laws working upon our mind and consciousness.  Can these Laws be overcome?  Yes -- with the knowledge of the Natural Laws -- their purpose in mankind's development -- and the proper application of the Laws in the person's life. 

While few people have ever heard of the Law of Octaves, what they fail to understand is the fact that the inability of the organic human ear to hear the twisting of the Natural Laws, causes us to remain ignorant and alien to both our own True Self and man's Higher Reality.  To understand the Natural Laws, it is important to recognize that there exists an anomaly in the hearing of organic "natural" man -- and while we can observe this anomaly in our sense of hearing, the anomaly is holographically true with not only all our senses, but also our cognitive abilities.  And from a scientific perspective, this anomaly can be easily proven -- but is for the most part ignored.  An anomaly is defined as an abnormality -- a blip on the screen of life that doesn't fit with the rest of the pattern.  In the case of the musical scale, there exists an anomaly that is inconceivable to the vast majority of both musicians and mathematicians which they cannot explain -- and because they cannot explain it, for the most part, they ignore even the existence of the anomaly.

The Law of Octaves inhibits all sequential progressions from moving in a straight line.   Though the pattern of the Natural Laws is present throughout all of Creation, the movement of the Laws is perhaps easiest to see, hear and observe, in music.  And in pursuing an understanding, it is important to be cognizant of the reality that a musical note is a mathematical frequency that we are able to hear and detect with our ears.  In the same way, like the octave, there are seven colors within the spectrum of white-light that is representative of frequencies that we see with our eyes.  And in the consciousness of mankind, each of these frequencies are representative of a level of consciousness (see The Source Of Soul-Light http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#SourceOfSoulLight ).  And when rightly understood, the anomaly in our hearing is in accord with a Pattern of the Laws -- and this Pattern is replicated into all the Laws of Creation.  And from a paradoxical perspective, while the effect of the anomaly can on one hand be seen as a limiting factor that inhibits our mental advancement, it is this same limiting factor that is necessary to open the door to our eventual enlightenment. 

Again let me stress the fact that while the manifest Laws-at-work can be demonstrated more easily in music, its far-reaching reality is prevalent throughout all aspects of life in this world and beyond.  Recognizing the Universal Laws, it is written: "Having once established music as an exact science, Pythagoras applied his newly found law of harmonic intervals to all the phenomena of Nature, even going so far as to demonstrate the harmonic relationship of the planets, constellations, and elements to each other" (see The Pythagorean Theory of Music and Color ).  And when rightly understood, the only difference between the Intervals and Twisting of the Laws of Octaves as portrayed in music, then, is that the same sequence of the Laws that is easily observed in the notes of a musical scale, is more difficult to observe throughout the other aspects of life -- but quickly becomes apparent once one is cognizant of the pattern and sequence.  Why is the knowledge of the movement of the Laws important to not only seekers, but all of mankind?  Because our ultimate success or failure in life is often the result of the Natural Laws bringing about the envisioned results.  And while it is true that the Natural Laws impose a limiting factor upon man's acquisition of knowledge, the limitations are necessary in order to prepare us to receive and comprehend the Higher Knowledge we seek. 

Giordano Bruno and G.I. Gurdjieff both understood the Intervals of the Laws as manifest in the Law of Octaves -- with Gurdjieff portraying his Laws of Three and the Law of Seven in the centerpiece of his teachings as presented in the diagram of the Enneagram as seen in the image on the left.   P.D.Ouspensky wrote in his book, In Search Of The Miraculous with respect to the Enneagram being a symbol of Consciousness: "Speaking in general it must be understood that the enneagram is a universal symbol. All knowledge can be included in the enneagram and with the help of the enneagram it can be interpreted. And in this connection only what a man is able to put into the enneagram does he actually know, that is, understand. What he cannot put into the enneagram he does not understand. For the man who is able to make use of it, the enneagram makes books and libraries entirely unnecessary. Everything can be included and read in the enneagram. A man may be quite alone in the desert and he can trace the enneagram in the sand and in it read the eternal laws of the universe. And every time he can learn something new, something he did not know before."  Take particular note of the words "...For the man who is able to make use of it, the enneagram makes books and libraries entirely unnecessary."  It is inconceivable to the vast majority of people how a person who is able to apply the tenets of the enneagram would no longer need books, teachers the libraries of mankind.   Why?  Because few people comprehend the reality and practical application of applying the Natural Laws to tap into the Inner Source of Knowledge that exceeds all the accumulated knowledge of mankind (see The Empty And Full Mind Paradigms Of Life  http://CausalFactor.Nazirene.org#EmptyFullMindParadigms ).  Giordano Bruno confirms the above when he stated with respect to this Inner Source of Knowledge, that "Within every man there is a soul-flame, kindled at the sun of thought, which lends us wings whereby we may approach the sun of knowledge."  And that the vast majority of mankind ignore this Inner Source of Knowledge, was confirmed by Bruno in the words: "The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it"

While Plato did not openly make reference to the Law of Three or Seven in the manner of mystic/mathematicians such as such as Pythagoras, Bruno, Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, he did affirm the existence of an Inner Source of Knowledge that those seeking Genuine Enlightenment must pursue (see The One Teacher http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ).  In Plato's Principles Of Anamnesis, he explained that the True Teacher was like a "midwife" who did not instruct and use rote programming of the student's mind as is the case today, but instead must "...aid with the birth of knowledge that was already there in the student" (see Anamnesis - The Innate Knowledge Of The Truth Of All Truths).   Which means that he was affirming the reality that the Source of Truth and Knowledge lies within each person's own mind, and genuine learning is to embrace the process of drawing this Inner Source out into the student's physical conscious mind.  And that this fact of reality has only now been proven by modern cutting-edge scientists, is explored at The True Facts And Realities Of Life).  And what this means is that by not teaching the student how to tap into this Inner Source of Knowledge, traditional academia does more to alienate the student from the Source of Knowledge that is superior to all the books and libraries of men (see Jesus The (Law) Professor).   And if it is true that God and all the answers to the mysteries of life lie before our very eyes -- and having ignored the enigma of the twisting of the octaves, science has remained not only ignorant of the enigma of the Natural Laws -- wherein, it is our own organic human blindness and limitations that inhibits us from acquiring the Higher Knowledge we seek -- then the ONLY REAL SOLUTION for the person seeking this Higher Knowledge, is to overcome their own cause of inherent human blindness in pursuit of seeking the True  Source of Truth that mainstream religion, philosophy and science has ignored.  

The Knowledge of the Natural Laws -- and especially the pattern of the Law of Octaves -- that the original core disciples of Jesus and TheWay understood, was the basis of their assertion to others that there is only One Teacher which they portrayed as The True Prophet.    And this is demonstrated in the words of the Apostle Peter who is quoted in the Homilies of his disciple Clement: “Hence, O beloved Clement, if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows anything, he has received it from Him...”.   In further explanation, Peter stated that the One Teacher and True Prophet is "...within the mind of every one of us".  Peter then warns the people: "...Wherefore seek Him first of all; and if you do not find Him, expect not that you shall learn anything from any other."   The problem is that only those who can overcome and prevail over the twisting of the Law of Octaves and resolve the condition of inherent organic human blindness, are able to tap into this inner Source of Knowledge that eliminates the need for the person from having to learn from books, teachers and the libraries of men. 

If we look at the picture of a typical keyboard on the right, can we see the anomaly that the mystics make reference to?  What we see is the whole notes represented in the white keys, and the half-tones in the black keys.  Regardless of the fact of whether we understand music or not, what we should quickly recognize is the easily discernable from a purely mathematical perspective, and the fact that if the white keys are representative of a whole note progressive sequence, then why doesn't every whole-note interval have a half-tone?  In the image of the keyboard, the absence of a black key between the third-to-fourth white keys -- and again, the absence of a black key between the seventh-to-eighth key, should cause us to question why?  Why is there no half-tone in the mathematical sequence represented in the progression between the third-to-fourth and seventh-to-eighth sequence of notes?   Moreover, the anomaly remains regardless of what note we begin the sequence on.   And if it is true that while the mystics have pursued the causal factor and have portrayed it as the true souce of all human ignorance of man's higher reality -- while science has failed to understand the enigma of the anomaly -- then those who embrace the wisdom of the scientist over that of the mystic, are themselves choosing the path of ignorance and unknowing. 

When rightly understood, it is the expression of the Natural Laws that has the effect of fooling our sense of hearing.  At important points in the sequence of the Natural Laws, an enigma exists that causes us to hear a half-tone as if it is a whole-tone progression.  When Gurdjieff portrayed his Law of Three, it was because the anomaly was predictable in every sequence.  Likewise, the same is true of the Law of Seven and the progression from one octave sequence into the next.  And while many mystics have sought the cause of the anomaly -- claiming that the effects of the anomaly creates an Inner Barrier to the development of man's intellect and consciousness (see Mental Barrier ) -- the vast majority of scientists have ignored the twisting of the Laws as if it doesn't matter and has no impact on their pursuits.  And from this perspective, the sincere inquiring mind of the Rational seeker or investigator should immediately ask the question: Why isn't there a half-tone between the third and fourth note on the keyboard and musical scale? Though the answer is very simple, the reality that is portrayed is so esoteric and beyond physical reality as we know it, that the most accomplished musicians cannot supply you with the answer to the enigma -- an enigma that unknowingly envelops every aspect of our lives and Creation.  The Answer: There is no half-tone between the white keys that are next to each other, because the fourth white key in the progression IS a half-tone that human organic ears falsely hears as a whole tone.  

When Paul stated to the Christians who he had himself taught what he portrayed the "milk" of Gospel designed for "babes in Christ" who were too immature to understand the spiritual meaning of the Gospels -- and he was therefore forced to present a parabolic qusi-historical account to them which he called the "traditions" of Christ and the PHYSICAL Resurrection -- an elementary teaching that the Church Father Origen admitted was “...preached in the Churches… for the simpleminded and for the ears of the common crowd who are led on to live better lives by their belief” (Origen Contra Celsum) -- it is the natural twisting of the Law of Octaves that keeps the thinking and cognitive development of organic man "earth-bound", that prompted Paul to convey the reality to the faith-based Christians that they were incapable of comprehending the spiritual meaning of the Gospel when he stated: “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 - see  Animal-Soul ).   The question is: Why can't the natural organic mind of man comprehend the spiritual meaning of the Gospel and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God?  The answer is, because of the natural anomaly in his senses and organic cognitive reasoning that causes the whole framework of his thinking to remain anchored to the earth -- i.e., "earth-bound" -- that renders him incapable of comprehending anything beyond this three-dimensional reality that he does not at all understand the true nature of. 

It is important to understand what can be portrayed as the frequency shifts in the intervals that cause what can be called The Twisting of the Law of Octaves within the pattern of mind as portrayed in the Tree of Life.  The individual notes of the Musical Octave is expressed in the progressive (mathematical frequency) scale in the familiar terms: Doe, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Se -- and then evolving into the next Doe of the next subsequent Octave.   Yet, as demonstrated in the previous link on the Twisting of the Law of Octaves, the frequency steps THAT WE HEAR, are not uniform -- and while the progression in musical notes sounds uniform to the human ear, what on the surface appears to be a flaw in human hearing exists on all levels of our being.  And if we ask the question, why does it matter?  What can be portrayed as the twisting of the Octaves or Laws, when understood and applied holographically to all the Natural Laws, has the effect of keeping our thinking and perceptive vision and understanding earth-bound.  What is earth-bound?  Paul wrote that organic "natural" man was incapable of comprehending his own higher Soul and Spiritual Reality (see Animal-Soul).  The Gospel itself portrays this realm as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness).  The analogy of Plato's Cave portrays mankind as prisoners in a realm of shadow-image illusions (see Plato's Cave) -- that modern science has only now begun to confirm the above, and has concluded that mankind is blind to the Source of what we see (see The True Facts And Realities Of Life ), is a reality that few students of science are even capable of coming to terms with.  And therefore, it is because of the twisting of the Natural Laws that we are shackled to a condition of Self-Ignorance.  It it is true that what we see is incomplete shadow-images of a higher reality that we are organically blind to as demonstrated at the foregoing link, then the whole framework of our thinking based upon the incomplete shadow-images is gravely flawed.  

  The Twisting of Law at the Third Interval: In music the octave is expressed in the familiar terms Doe, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Doe -- with the second Doe being the beginning of the next octave.  When the first Doe is sounded, this is passed onto the second note as represented in the term Re.  Here is where the problem begins -- i.e., the second note not only sounds the appropriate note/frequency which is Re in response to the previous Doe, but symbiotically on another level, inadvertently (and automatically) starts its own beginning octave independently of the first.  What this means is that when the sequence is passed onto the third note, it not only responds to the initial Doe-Re by sounding a Mi, but plays a Re in response to the Doe played by the second note sequence, as well as its own Doe in an independently initiated octave.  The result is that when the third sequence attempts to pass on the preceding sequences plus its own, the combination creates a false completion -- resulting in a twisting of the octave -- and what we hear as a full-tone, is actually a half -- resulting in the sequential pattern twisting, and going in a different direction other than what we would perceive to be a straight line. This twisting in turn creates a loop, which inadvertently returns the sequence in the direction of its initial beginning.  The result is that in the same way that we hear what sounds to us to be a sequence of whole-tones, even though it is not, without realizing it the Laws/octaves turn, and we end up confined into a three-dimensional reality because the Laws twist (as demonstrated in the example of the octaves), and we cannot perceive reality beyond the limitations of this world.

When the octave twists at the third-to-fourth sequence, the progression turns back to the earth.  It is at the third point in the progression of the Laws that test the progression for Substance -- and having failed the test of Wholeness at the third-to-fourth sequence, it is drawn back to the earth (earth-bound) by what is ALLEGORICALLY portrayed in the scriptures as satanic forces.   In order to be applicable in someone's developmental life, the person must be able to envision what is being presented.  Most of what I have written in the above would be meaningless to most people -- i.e., so, the Laws twist, and limitations are placed on your thinking.  To the vast majority of people, this reality portrayed in this manner is worthless -- i.e., they can't cognitively act upon what is being stated.  But if I say that there is a monster-angel who is striving to keep your thoughts on the earth -- keeping you from doing the Commandments of God -- thereby striving to keep you from entering into eternal life -- this allegorical portrayal is something they can act upon in their daily life.  In the foregoing I have capitalized the word allegory because what is portrayed as a fallen-angel (Satan) in the scriptures, is actually the personification of a Natural Law of Creation that serves an important purpose in the developmental-evolution of mankind.  In the parable of the Prodigal Son, when the son falls under the influence and control of the "Citizen of the Far Country", reference is being made to being anchored by the gravity of mind as personified in the allegorical portrayal of satanic earth-bound forces. 

God and the Realities of Creation are set before you, but because of the twisting of the Natural Laws, your perceptive-vision fails to evolve beyond a certain point, and remains earth-bound and drawn back into the physical/carnal.   Why?  The purpose of the Laws is to evolve the Soul to a condition of Wholeness -- level upon level -- and upon examination, without the necessary Wholeness you are incapable of comprehending even your own Higher Soul-Reality.  If your True-Self ia a twelve-dimensional being whose consciousness is the perfect balance of male and female -- the sum total of all the strengths of the races and divisions among mankind -- the sum total of all the experiences of all the lives that the Soul has lived since the dawn of time -- all that is heavenly (spiritual) and earthly (physical) -- inner and outer -- then it does not take much to realize that few people have anything in common with their True-Self.   Why is there such an enormous difference between the person we are in this world, and our True-Self?  Why is there such an enormous difference between an embryo that has begun to form in the womb, and a human adult?  A reality that I will present throughout this article is the reality that when we emerged out of our mother's womb, we then entered a Mental-Womb whose purpose was to evolve our mind.  But unlike our institutions of learning that employ rote-programming of the student, this realm as God's University employs experiential-knowledge to evolve the Soul through the levels of Spiritual Evolution.  Which means that we must be presented with choices -- and then we mature by living out the choices we have made.  And the Natural Laws that came into being in the Alpha of Creation, have been imbued with the process of bringing this process of maturation and evolution about in the existence of every Soul.

In looking at the image of the Mind as patterned in the Tree of Life at the left, Spirit as patterned in the top sphere is the Source, with its reflective opposite half patterned in the bottom Earthly sphere.  The First Cause of initiation of all (thoughts) begins in the upper-spiritual (male), into its opposite half (female/reflective) in the physical bottom earthly sphere, wherein the connection between the two (Mind) raises upward in the process of mental-conception.  Thus, we have Doe, Re and Me -- and it is at that point where because of lack of Wholeness, the progression of the mental-octave is subject to testing -- and if the test of Wholeness fails, subject to the twisting of the progression. 

When rightly understood, the same Universal Laws that control the physical, are also true in the mental and the spiritual levels of mind and being.  All conception in the physical requires the active essence of the male to be released in the womb of the female, where there is the opportunity of an embryo to be formed when the male and female essence combine into One.  The same Laws that control physical conception, are at work in the process of mental-conception -- and for the progression to arise up into the Center Column of the Tree of Life, there must be a merger of positive (male) and negative (female) to be at One.  But this can only be accomplished when the lower earthly-nature supports the upper heavenly-nature.  Which means that the lower earthly-nature must have been refined as personified in the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed.   Therefore, all progression once the exchange has been made from the first (heavenly) into the second (earthly) sequence, is determined by the condition and refinement of man's lower nature.  Allegorically, this has been personified in the scriptures as the refinement of man's lower animal nature (see Organic Man Ruled Over By His Lower Animal Nature),  and the construction of the Living Consecrated Temple of the body (see Animal Sacrifice And The Living Temple).    Thus, for the thought-progression to arise up the center and through the Tree of Life, man's lower nature must be refined and evolved to support his upper spiritual nature, and Adam (male) and Eve (female) must be joined together as "one flesh".  And this is portrayed in the teaching that was preserved in the Gospel of Thomas saying 22: "'These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.'  They said to him, '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'."    

If the above diagram is the pattern of mind, then when the Key of Knowledge is properly applied to the scriptures, what you are presented is the blueprint of the mind.  Paul correctly portrayed the written text and narrative of the scriptures as the "letter that killeth [and] Jewish folktales" (see 2 Cor 3:6; Titus 1:14).   Why?   Because the literal text of the scriptures is a quasi-historical facade that is necessary for the very limited instruction of the immature seeker -- with the true spiritual meaning remaining preserved and concealed beneath the garb of allegory (see An Inconvenient Truth).   The Church Father Origen explained that “Scripture contains an unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).   Further explaining in De Principiis that: “Where the word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things, there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not.”    

That the undeveloped carnal mind of both the blind believer, as well as the skeptic critic, both attempt to ignore these important inconsistencies (see Inconsistencies Purposely Written Into Body Of Scriptural Text), and attempt to read the scriptures as an historical account, inhibits them from perceiving and understanding the great truths that lie concealed beneath the allegorical texts.   Like the Pharisees, they interpreted the scriptures outwardly -- incapable of comprhending that what is being presented to the reader, can be portrayed as the Cosmology of their Own Mind -- presnting the Laws and Forces of Consciousness.  And in the proper application of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, the Church Father Origen writes: “But all the narrative portion, relating either to the marriages, or to the begetting of the children, or to battles of different kinds, or to any other histories whatever, what else can they be supposed to be, save the forms and figures of hidden and sacred things? As men, however, make little effort to exercise their intellect, or imagine that they possess knowledge before they really learn, the consequence is that they never begin to have knowledge". 

What does this mean?   What it means is that "...all the narrative portion [of the scriptures], relating either to the marriages, or to the begetting of the children, or to battles of different kinds, or to any other histories whatever", do not at all pertain to historical accounts of man's more distant past -- but rather, to the Forces and Laws that are presently working within man's own mind and being.   Why?   How could Origen who was called the prince of Christian learning second only to the Apostles themselves, state that the historical interpretation of the scriptures is "worthless"?  And that what is presented in the written text as marriages, the begetting of children, and the many various wars and battles are not at all historical -- but rather, an allegorical portrayal of the Forces and Laws working within one's own mind and being? 

To understand the foregoing, you must first understand my above statement: When rightly understood, the same Universal Laws that control the physical, are also true in the mental and the spiritual levels of mind and being.  And this explains Origen's statement in Contra Celsusm where he explained about the allegorical non-historical nature of the scriptures: “It is sufficient however, to represent in the style of a historic narrative what is intended to convey a secret meaning in the garb of history, that those who have the capacity may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject.”   What does it mean: "...that those who have the capacity may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject.”   It means that when you apply the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, that (1) there exists important guidelines in their interpretation; and (2), that you must begin to understand the Natural Laws; (3) and you must recognize that the same Laws working upon the physical, is also working upon the mental and spiritual levels of Self and Creation. 

While conception, birth and evolving to adult maturity is a rather lengthily single process in the physical, under the pattern of Natural Laws, the same process on the level of mind requires a great multitude of successive thoughts that are conceived  and raised up over the course of expanded development.  In the above I wrote: "When the first Doe is sounded, this is passed onto the second note as represented in the term Re ....the second note not only sounds the appropriate note/frequency which is Re in response to the previous Doe, but symbiotically on another level, inadvertently (and automatically) starts its own beginning octave independently of the first.  What this means is that when the sequence is passed onto the third note, it not only responds to the initial Doe-Re by sounding a Mi, but plays a Re in response to the Doe played by the second note sequence, as well as its own Doe in an independently initiated octave.  The result is that when the third sequence attempts to pass on the preceding sequences plus its own, the combination creates a false completion -- resulting in a twisting of the octave ...".  Do, the male DNA enters the womb, and "Re" joined with the DNA of the female -- and what is not understood is the fact that the Spiritual DNA of the incarnating Soul is then joined as the Third-Force Balance of the sperm and ovum at Conception.   In understanding this pattern of Law as being applied to the countless thoughts conceived and required in the development of the Mind, one is able to understand Origen's statement "...that those who have the capacity may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject”.  

In the pattern of the mental-octave, each thought is conceived through the same process in accord with the same Natural Laws.   The generative power is the Mental-Doe in the upper sphere in the head, and the Mental-Doe is transferred to its opposite polarity or half at the bottom of the Tree of Life where a Mental-Re which reflects the Do is them merged and progressed into the third Mental-Me in the return (female to male reflective return) is raised up into the Foundation Sphere of the mind as patterned in the Tree of Life.    In the same way that in the formation of an embryo, the Spiritual DNA of the incarnating Soul is joined with the merging sperm (male DNA) and ovum (female DNA) in physical conception, the Foundation Sphere of Mind as patterned in the diagram of the Tree of Life is connected to all the lives the Soul has lived from the Alpha of Creation.  This connection to all the previous lives the Soul has lived is through what can be portrayed as the Soul Mind-Matrix (see below The Evolving Soul).   The degree of Wholeness that a person can achieve, is greatly dependent upon the Wholeness of self achieved by the Soul of that person over the course of all the lifetimes that Soul has lived -- in conjunction with the degree of Wholeness the person has achieved in their present life.   Without the necessary foundation of Wholeness where Duality is overcome, the progression of the octave twists, sending the thought into the outer spheres of the male and female columns of the Tree of Duality -- channeling the bio-energy of the generated thought out into Nature as portrayed in the squandering away of the inheritance of the prodigal son on "riotous" living -- causing the prodigal son to dwell under the power of the Citizen of the Far Country -- sometimes allegorically portrayed as Satan and the god of this world.    In order for the mind to undergo the process of deepening and expansion, the conceived thought must arise up through the center and up the Tree of Life.          

If the conception of one's thoughts lacks Wholeness, the thought cannot enter the Center Column -- and the twisting of the Law of Octaves by the Natural Laws causes the progression to be diverted into the outer male or female columns -- which are also known as the Tree of Duality or the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that brings death (mental flat-lining) to the eater thereof.   Because the person's generated thought fails the test of Wholeness at the third-to-fourth sequence, thereby inhibiting the development of your mind and consciousness beyond what Paul portrayed as the  Animal-Soul level of organic consciousness -- it is impossible for you to comprehend reality from the next level of Mind and Being.   

In other documents on this web site I have defined the allegorical biblical personage of Satan as a collective consciousness that is of the earth -- i.e., the gravity of mind that keeps our thinking attached to this realm.  When we are in what can be portrayed a mechanical mindset mode -- i.e., not totally conscious of what we are doing with our thinking deluged with random and seemingly never ending thoughts often portrayed as "race-mind", and merely going through the routines of life -- our mind is being diverted by nature in that loop that keeps the whole of our thinking and perceptive-vision attached to the earth.  In fact, we are often so being controlled by nature, that we can't even remember what we did the day before.  It is as if our life in on automatic mode, and we only wake up when something or someone collides with us.  It is this condition that the Apostle Paul defines as being of a "natural mind".

The scriptures are not at all historical accounts -- but they contain allegorical catalysts that are employed to bring about the expansion and deepening of the mind in order to enable the seeker of Higher Truth to be able to comprehend their own higher Soul and Spiritual Reality (see The Reality Of The Original Gospels ).  As stated in the above, allegorically, Satan is not a being -- but rather, Satan is the embodiment of what can be portrayed as the Natural Laws (see The Laws Of Creation ) that maintain what can be personified as the Gravity Of Mind that has the effect of shackling mankind to an earth-bound mindset -- rendering him incapable of comprehending man's higher soul and spiritually reality.   Throughout the scriptures what is allegorically personified as Angels, is in fact the Natural Laws of Creation that control our development of mind and spiritual advancement.  When Jacob wrestled with the Angel by night (see Genesis 32:22-31), prevailing over the Angel at dawn, what is being portrayed is the advancement achieved as one prevails over the Natural Laws of Consciousness -- and in the portrayal of Jacob, achieving what is personified in the name Israel. 

The meaning of the name Lucifer is usually identified with Satan. The name Lucifer, which means “bearer of light” or “morning star,” allegorically refers to his former splendor as the greatest of the angels.   And when Jacob was portrayed as having prevailed over the Laws at dawn -- becoming what is personified as Spiritual Israel -- Jacob was able to overcome the Natural Laws and comprehend what the organic consciousness of man cannot at all understand.   And the importance of this achievement is portrayed in the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas where it is stated:  “The disciples said to Jesus, We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader? Jesus said to them, Wherever you are, you are to go to Jacob (James) the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being" (see Seeking Jacob/James).   Thus, reference is not being made to an actual man named Jacob (James), but was is personified in the meaning of the name Jacob is ultra-important to all seekers of Truth and Higher Knowledge.  And what is allegorically portrayed is equally important to the seeker on the spiritual path, as it is to the philosopher and scientist.    And if it is true that heaven and earth came into being as an environment that would manifest growth and development maintained by the Natural Laws (Angels) that were put into effect in the Alpha of Creation, then the primary purpose of this physical realm is to evolve all of Creation into a Condition of Wholeness and Completion in our Ultimate Destiny which can be portrayed as the Omega of Enlightened Light.  And what is allegorically personified in the name Jacob (James) who wrestled with the Angel by night, and prevailing at dawn and becoming all that is manifest in the name Israel, is a process all of mankind is evolving through.  And when Israel is portrayed as the Chosen People of God, what is being personified not a family of people -- but rather, the Wholeness of Mind and Being that "...heaven and earth came into being" to bring about within the existence of all of mankind.  Yet, because they lack an understanding of the Natural Laws, the vast majority of spiritual seekers, philosophers and scientists remain ignorant of how to overcome the inherent ignorance and carnal limitations of the human mind.  

These Natural Laws which are personified in the allegorical portrayal of Satan, perpetually test us -- and only when we can prevail over the Laws embodying all that is personified in the name Jacob (James) -- at the level we are at -- are we then able to arise to a higher plane of mind and spirit which is personified in the name Yeshua (Joshua/Jesus).  When the Gospel account of Jesus stated: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.”   You must become all that is personified in the Gospel account of Jesus -- as stated: "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect" (Matt 5:48).  And this is the Destiny of all of mankind.

Unlike many of our educational systems which engage in various forms of social-promotion from grade to grade, the Natural Laws which are responsible for our mental and spiritual advancement require each of us to achieve results that will prepare us to embrace the next level of mental and spiritual proficiency.  And at each step in our advancement, we are tested (see The Laws That Control Our Lives) to ensure that we are prepared to function and learn on the next level of mind and being.  And this testing is the meaning of the proverbial Jacob's Ladder that must be climbed one rung at a time -- whereby each rung elevates us to the next level, and it is impossible to grab and raise up to the next rung, without letting go and releasing ourselves from the previous rung.   Thus, as stated in the Gospel Of The Nazirenes: "God gives you all truth, as a ladder with many steps, for the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth which seems today, you will abandon for the higher truth tomorrow. Press toward perfection."   In the progress of most people, a multitude of lifetimes is required because the person can't open their minds to higher truth -- i.e., "...the truth which seems today, you will abandon for the higher truth tomorrow".  Which means that in the example of most people, Soul-progression is limited to incremental paltry steps that often requires lifetimes to complete even one rung of the proverbial Jacob's ladder.

  The Octaves And The Narrow Gate: The (forbidden) fruit of the Tree of Duality represents the thoughts and impressions of the divided male and female columns of the Tree of Life.  And this is why it is written 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”.  Adam and Eve is of course representative of the divided male and female columns of the Tree of Duality -- BUT, we must also recognize that the columns as represented by Adam and Eve, are standing on, and is therefore connected to the lower earth, and their heads are in the opposite upper polarity of air or higher spiritual areas of mind and being.   In biblical Greek, the word for air also portrays spirit.  In the portrayal of the four gates, each of the four paradoxical opposites (male, female, earth, and air), are each the product of Trinities comprised of male/female and (third-force) balance.  Which means that the twelve spheres of mind are the product of four trinities -- and it is the four points of balance that is representative of the four gates of the mind.  As explained in the above subheading (see Wholeness of Mind & Being http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#wholeness )

In the same way that every physical embryo that is conceived must be comprised of the equal chromosomes of male and female brought together and manifest in oneness, this same absolute balance must not only be achieved in the life-giving thoughts and impressions that is able to enter within the "narrow strait gate", but the substance of the lower earthly and upper heavenly elements of each  thought and impression must equally be balanced to manifest Wholeness in the thought and impression.  Only what is Whole can pass through the "narrow strait gate" in the Center of the Mind as patterned in the diagram of the Tree of Life --  and the Life-Giving thoughts and impressions that grow and evolve the mind beyond organic limitations of natural man and woman, must be made up of the four part essence of the male and female and heaven and earth opposites that are brought together in what can be portrayed as a Thought-Embryo that brings about the transformation of the mind though the the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening.   Those thoughts that are not equally balanced by being comprised of the essence of the four gates of opposites -- as tested by the Law of Octaves -- cannot enter thought the "narrow strait gate", and are therefore miscarried and they are diverted outwardly, and the vital life-force is then lost into nature.  This loss of the vital life-force in the parable of the prodigal son is portrayed as the "riotous living" that squanders away the inheritance.    

The twisting of the Natural Laws at designated intervals of testing, inhibits the unbalanced advancement of impressions from progressing in a straight line -- turning the steps of the progression back to its source in the earth -- thereby inhibiting the progression from being elevated onto a higher plane that the person is incapable of intellectually functioning at.  Thus, unless you can prevail over the Laws at the interval where the testing takes place, you will fail to advance beyond the functional level where you are at.  Therefore, in order to prevail over the Laws at the interval of testing, you must bring into the equation the balance of the opposite polarities -- thereby manifesting the necessary Wholeness as personified in the Gospel statement: "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).  Wholeness requires both opposite paradoxical polarities to be manifest in a unifying third-force that overcomes the twisting of the Laws -- which twisting causes the line of progression to be turned back to its source in the earth.  And it is this turning of the line of progression that can be personified as the (Satanic) Force that keeps our thinking and perceptive-vision earth-bound and carnal -- forcing us to perpetually repeat the sequences of progression until we are able to prevail over the Natural Laws which test our progress.  And this testing of the progressive advancement through the Natural Laws is personified in the statement: "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able" (Luke 13:24).   In order to enter through the "strait gate", you must prevail over the twisting of the Natural Laws which test your actions and progression for Wholeness and Completion -- thereby enabling you to advance in a strait line -- passing through the "strait gate" -- instead of the twisting back to the earth-level of consciousness.  

In the above (see Foundational Process of Birth), the Gospel of Thomas saying 22 (see Saying 22) states: "...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 Center Column of the Tree of Life is neither male or female -- but is the Third-Force Balance of the outer male and female columns of the Tree of Duality -- the eating of the fruit thereof, allegorically brings death to the eater.  Why death?  Because our Soul or True-Self dwells in Wholeness, and is not subject to the division of male and female.  Which means, that so long as we remain divided across the dynamic polarities of male and female, it will remain impossible for us to comprehend our own Higher Soul-Reality (see http://SoulSelf.org ).   As the Doe, Re, Me of the thought-octave progresses into the Foundation Sphere of the Mind as personified in the diagram of the Tree of Life, unless a Balance and Wholeness of the Male/Female Impressions is achieved which make them Complete, the twisting of the Law of Octaves will force the progression into one of the outer (male or female) columns -- and with the twisting into the outer columns of the Tree of Duality, the "strait gate" through the Center cannot be entered -- therefore, the paradoxical polarities of male and female cannot be merged and restored into the necessary Wholeness that will permit entrance up the Center Column and into what is personified as the Kingdom.   

The development of mind, spirit and the elevation of consciousness is an enduring process of mental deepening and expansion.  In the same way that our physical body was formed as orchestrated by the Natural Laws, so too is our Mind and Mental Bodies that surround physical form.   With the exception that in order for the Mind to form, it most be subject to the choices we make and the exercise of freewill.  As we begin to deepen our consciousness, we are able to tap into our twelve-dimensional Eternal-Self that is a Being of Light -- which we are an expression of that has been projected into this three-dimensional realm.  But the process of deepening our mind requires a great amount of work on self -- i.e.,  "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22).  In the Epistle to the Corinthians Paul commands to "…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5) -- but how can such a reality be achieved?  To affirm this requirement as genuine, the Gospel account of Jesus warns: "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment" (Matt 12:36 - see Judgment Day - Evolving To Maturity Of Mind And Being ).  Idle words can be defined as those thoughts or impressions which are not, and cannot, be returned to the Source through the "narrow strait gate". , which when tested for Wholeness by the Law of Octaves, are diverted and lost out into nature.  Which is why Paul tells us to "Pray without ceasing" (1Thes 5:17).   Perpetual prayer can be defined as positive thoughts of a higher expression that is able to be drawn up through the "strait gate" -- invoking the process of expansion and deepening of our Mind.

As Jacob/James, the brother of Yeshua/Jesus, the man who was the first leader of the New Covenant Church and was known as a true holy man, wrote that in order to fulfill the vision of the Gospel, one had to "…bridle the whole body" (James 3:2).  While this may appear totally alien from the perspective of the modern Christian who fully indulges in the unbounded excesses of our present-day cultural lifestyle, the Apostle Paul confirmed the validity of these words from a New Covenant perspective when he wrote of the necessity to "…beat my body and make it my slave..." (1 Cor 9:27 NIV).  Moreover, when Paul stated that salvation is by faith over the ritual works of the Law of Moses, what he portrayed as faith meant an entirely different thing to the Apostle Paul than what is being preached from our pulpits today.  And this can be seen in Paul’s commandment to all who would call themselves a Christian to "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5).  If the congregation of believers could simply have faith, without living a Consecrated Life set apart from the thinking and lifestyle of the people of this world, then Paul would not have warned the believers of the simple faith that: “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Rom 8:13).   To mortify the deeds of the body takes work -- a great amount of work -- and this work cannot be accomplished through a static faith.   The problem is that these biblical commandments have absolutely nothing in common with the doctrine of faith that was promoted by Martin Luther in the Middle-ages.

When Paul taught to "…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ", what he was stating was to balance and make whole every thought so it can enter into the "narrow gate" and bring about the necessary expansion and deepening of mind.  Those thoughts that are not balanced and whole, are diverted into the outer columns of the Tree of Duality and the bio-energy is then squandered away and lost into nature.  When Jacob/James stated the necessity to "…bridle the whole body", he was expressing the need to domesticate man's lower animal nature to transform it into a servant and foundation for man's higher spiritual nature to manifest (see Animal Sacrifice And The Living Temple).  When Jesus stated “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it” -- he was conveying the reality that the person you are in this world is a lesser three-dimensional self that is a projection of your Higher Twelve-Dimensional Soul -- and unless you are nourished by the fruit of the Tree of Life, you can never achieve the next stage of birth, and you will therefore fail to be restored to the Permanence of your Higher Soul-Self (see http://SoulSelf.org ).  

When rightly understood, the Gospel Sermon on the Mount is a proclamation of the Natural Laws that control all realities in the life that every person is living (see Jesus The Law Professor).  And the Natural Laws interact and intimately affect every aspect of your life regardless of your belief or non-belief.  When rightly understood, this world can therefore be portrayed as a Living Bio-Feedback Organism that for the objective and purpose of our learning and bringing about our development, returns to each person the fruit of their own words, thoughts, desires and deeds -- not immediately as when we touch a hot plate -- but rather, in many instances this realm returns our actions back to us when a reversal of polarity has been brought about.   As stated in the Bible: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7).   Not immediately -- because that would negate the process of growth and testing.  If you were to hit someone, and you were immediately hit in the same measure you did to the other person, then you would simply refrain from hitting the other person.   The reasons within your own mind and being that provoked you to hit the other person would not be resolved, just suppressed.  But if the Laws of Creation brought about that condition which was reversed, only then would you as a victim of your own previous actions, learn the consequences of being hit.  You would then learn from the experience of the victim -- and, because your Soul would possess the experiences of both, your Soul would learn and develop from the experiences of both aggressor and victim. 

Few understand the depth of the statement: "He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; ...Here is the patience and the faith of the saints” (Rev 13:9-10 NKJ).   When the word "captivity" is understood as forcing your will upon another person, only then can the reality of this world be understood.   There is not only physical captivity, but also mental captivity, philosophical, religious and cultural captivity, marital and gender captivity.  Any time you force your will upon another, you will experience your own actions as a victim in your future.   All of which must be understood within the context of: As you do unto others, the same will be done unto you -- "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" (Mat 7:12) --  which is just another way of saying that your own judgments will come back upon you in your own future.    And when the Law and the Wisdom of the Prophets is understood, whatever you do to others, will be returned and come back upon you.   Including the judgments you make of others -- i.e., "Judge not, that you be not judged.  For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you" (Matt 7:1-2 NKJ).  

In the next subheading in this article on the Trinity, I will demonstrate that in the first allegorical Creation account of Genesis, male and female exist in Oneness and Wholeness -- and this is in fact our True Natural State of Being.  And this is true with respect to the Mind of God where the polarities personified in Mother-God and and Father-God exist in Oneness.  Our Soul and True Self is a Being of Light (see http://BeingOfLight.com ), because the Male and Female opposite polarities exist in the original pattern of Wholeness.  Which provokes the question: Where, then, did the division of male and female take place?  In the second Genesis Creation account the Feminine is drawn from the Male and divided, in order for the two Dynamic Polarities of Male and Female to interact and bring about mental development and spiritual growth and evolution.  Without this male and female interaction on all levels of our being, we remain mentally flat-lined and spiritually inpatient.   As it is stated: "And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply..." (Gen 1:28) -- and what is indicated in an expansion and deepening of the Mind that only can be achieved in the dynamic interaction of the male and female paradoxical opposite spheres of mind as patterned in the Tree of Duality and the Tree of Life.

Unless you understand the blueprint or Cosmology of Consciousness, then you can never fulfill the purpose and objectives of the life you are presently living.  What is your relationship to your True-Self -- i.e., your Higher Soul-Self?  And what is your True-Self's relationship to Creator God?   What is meant by the words: "That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us" (Acts 17:27), indicates that man has the ability to reach out and feel God -- further stating:  “‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ ” (Acts 17:28).  Of this statement Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers writes: "What the words express is not merely the Omnipresence of the Deity; they tell us that the power for every act and sensation and thought comes from Him."     All frequency vibrational movement is subject to the Laws of Octaves and it's inherit  twisting.  And this can be seen and understood two ways -- i.e., in the white light directed through the prism at the left, we see the seven colors -- each with their respective frequency-color and frequency-sound flowing both (1) outwardly from the White Light, as well as (2)  inwardly into the White Light.   While we can only detect the twisting of the Octaves in the sound, the twisting of the frequencies is equally true not only in color, but the movement of all layer upon layer of Mind, Being and Creation.  And often what is called the Law of Three, is merely and expression of the Divine Pattern that is replicated into every aspect of Creation -- i.e., the First Cause (Male/Positive) that is Self-Creating and often portrayed as Father-God -- the Second Cause (Female/Reflective/Negative) and is often portrayed as Mother-God -- and the Third-Force Balance that is the Offspring of the Two that is often portrayed as the Logos (Mind of God) or Son of God.  And of utmost importance is to repeat the fact that this Divine Pattern is holographically replicated into all and every aspect of Self and Creation.    When rightly and intelligently understood, there is no such thing as duality -- and when duality is portrayed, this is merely an expression of ignorance of the Third-Force Balance.   An interesting portrayal of duality from an on-line source: Duality teaches us that every aspect of life is created from a balanced interaction of opposite and competing forces. Yet these forces are not just opposites; they are complementary. They do not cancel out each other, they merely balance each other like the dual wings of a bird.

  The Octave Test Through The Narrow Gate: When you are told to enter through the "narrow gate" -- i.e., "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14) -- it is understood that there is no physical gate that can be entered through.  But those who understand the blueprint and pattern of the Mind as personified in the diagram of the Tree of Life and the outer columns portrayed as the Tree of Duality (male/female), only then can we begin to understand that Wholeness requires that every impression and thought must be channeled through the "narrow gate" via the Love Sphere in the Center.  

Holographically, all that exists in the Mind of God, is impressed into Mankind who is created in the image of God: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." (Gen 1:27).   But it is important to understand that what is personified as Man or Mankind, is in fact the joined condition of Man and Woman as being At-One in the Wholeness of their Manifest Being -- i.e., "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created" (Gen 5:2 KJV).  And in the Holman Christian Standard Bible: "He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created".   Which indicates that Adam is not a name -- it means Mankind as expressed in The New International Version: "He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them 'Mankind' when they were created."  

To say that man is created in the image of God -- that the microcosm is a pattern and image of the Macrocosm -- that as above, so it is below -- is to understand that what can be portrayed as the Divine Pattern and the Cosmology of Mind and Being, is holographically replicated into all of Creation.  And this is ultra-important because it means that if you understand the Pattern, you can understand every level of Mind and Being within the Pattern.  What does this mean?  It means that if you understand the pattern in the physical, then you can apply the same pattern to the mental, the spiritual, and the Highest Level of Universal Consciousness.  And this is why the pre-Nicene Church Father explained with respect to using the allegorical scriptures as the Key of Knowledge and understanding their inner spiritual meaning: “It is sufficient however, to represent in the style of a historic narrative what is intended to convey a secret meaning in the garb of history, that those who have the capacity may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject.”  (Origen Contra Celsum).  How can they "...work out for themselves all that relates to the subject”?  Because the Divine Pattern is holographically replicated into every level of Mind and Being.

True Intellect and Knowing is the result of a great Diversity of perceptive-comprehension.  Man's great diversity of mind that permits him to simultaneously perceive and understand from different and often paradoxically opposite perspectives, is the reality portrayed in the 90th Chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes where it is stated: "The One truth has many sides, and one sees one side only, another, and some see more than others, according as it is given to them.  Behold this crystal; how the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yea four times twelve, and each face reflects one ray of light, and one regards one face, and another, another, but it is the one crystal, and the one light that shines in all...".    The statement that "The One truth has many sides, and one sees one side only", means that each person perceives all of life through the dominate sphere of the twelve spheres of mind that their consciousness is aligned with -- i.e., "Behold this crystal; how the one light is manifest in twelve faces".  What this means is that each of the Twelve must be singular in their perceptive-vision -- and then TOGETHER, present a Higher Vision that enables the person to see and understand the One Truth prior to the Light being divided into the  "twelve faces".  Further, because the pattern is replicated into each of the spheres of mind, each of the twelve spheres would appear as portrayed in the image on the left of the twelve within each of the twelve.   And from this reality of segmented consciousness, the number 144,000 that is used in the Book of Revelation is portrayed as the division of human consciousness (see The Enigma Of The Segmented Mind http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#SegmentedMind ).  Which means that across the spectrum of the organic consciousness of mankind, there is 144,000 segmented individual perceptions -- further divided by the male and female polarities of gender.  And in the scriptures this great diversity of mind and perception is represented in the twelve tribes of Israel -- i.e., each of the twelve spheres of mind being portrayed as a tribe.  Higher consciousness is allegorically presented in the Gospels, because the twelve tribes are portrayed as single-disciples.   Allegorically, the crucifixion is representative of the final stage of birth where the Jew (Judas) had to be overcome and transformed.  Which is why the pre-Nicene Church Father Origen wrote of those who fail to understand the spiritual meaning of the crucifixion where the Church was accused of being a Secret System that taught the spiritually mature a totally different doctrine than the congregation of believers.   And in reply to the allegations against the Church by the pagan philosopher Celsus, it was noted that the crucifixion and other elementary doctrines which survive today as the foundation of faith-based Christianity, was said to be “...preached in the Churches… for the simpleminded and for the ears of the common crowd who are led on to live better lives by their belief” (Origen Contra Celsum).

Wholeness of Mind and Being requires that the 144,000 points of consciousness within the mind of man be transformed into Single Points as personified in the Twelve Disciples, and the Twelve Spheres of Mind not be defiled and controlled by an allegiance to this shadow-world as portrayed in the symbol of the Jew (Judas).  In the allegory of the Gospels, the death of Judas -- i.e., the Jew -- is not the personification of a person named Judas -- but rather, the transformation of what is represented in the portrayal of consciousness in the symbol of the Jew.  In the same way that a dog or swine portrays human consciousness that is incapable of receiving and comprehending the Soul's Higher Reality, so too is the Jew the symbol of a person incapable of understanding and applying the Law of God within the person's own mind, in order to bring about the deepening and expansion of mind necessary to comprehend man's higher Soul-Reality.   The Jew, then, is a symbol indicating that aspect of mind (or such a person ) that looks outwardly for the Kingdom -- applying both the scriptures and the Law of God outwardly --  instead of Inwardly -- and thus, is one who throws away the Key of Knowledge.   While the most important elements of the Gospels were removed by the Church, in the Gospel of the Nazirenes the crime of Jesus is preserved in the words allegation of Judas to Caiaphas: "Now Judas Iscariot had gone to the house of Caiaphas and said to him, Behold he has celebrated the Passover, within the gates, with the mazza in place of the lamb. I indeed bought a lamb, but he forbade that it should be killed, and lo, the man of whom I bought it is witness."   The Jew symbolizes a person who looks outwardly to this world -- observing the Royal Law outwardly in ritual and tradition -- and as portrayed in the Nazirene Gospel, expecting the Kingdom to come outwardly (quoting): "And one that was standing by as Judas came out, saying to him, 'Do you think that they will put him to death?' And Judas said, 'No, for He will do some mighty work to deliver Himself out of their hands, even as when they of the synagogue in Capernaum rose up against Him, and brought Him to the brow of the hiss that they might throw Him down headlong, and did He not pass safely through their midst? He will surely escape them now also, and proclaim Himself openly and set up the kingdom whereof He spoke.'"   With the allegorical death of Judas -- death signifying transformation -- the historical man Jesus had achieved total Wholeness, Completion and Perfection -- and thus, became At-One with the Divine Mind of the Logos/Son of God (see Coverture-Marriage - Was Jesus God? http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CovertureMarriage ).        

Those who walked and talked with the historical man Jesus daily, understood that Jesus became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) and prevailed over the Law.  Thus, the original Gospel Teaching is preserved by the early Church writer Hippolytus when he stated that it was the position of the Ebionite followers of Jesus that he "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. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ."  And in speaking of this original Ebionite Nazirene position, he writes that when each disciple "...thus fulfills 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 SEE Jesus Fulfilled The Law http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#JesusFulfilledTheLaw ).   

Not only religion, but also modern science has confirmed the validity of the words of Peter in the warning in the Epistle of Peter to James that if the esoteric teachings of Jesus were to be lost or corrupted, that the paradoxical enigmatic knowledge could not be understood, when Peter wrote that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error"!!!   What is Peter making reference to?  The Natural Laws that monitor and test the thoughts of the individual person that in the case of organic man, inhibit the expansion of mind beyond the carnal intellectual understanding.   

What is personified in the Trinity in the form of Father, Mother and Son/Daughter/Logos (Mind), is also manifest in each of us as the offspring of God.  Thus, the image of the pattern of Mind as portrayed in the diagram of the Tree of Life at the right, the Heavenly Kingdom is personified as representing Father-God -- with Mother-God being the opposite polarity which is personified in the Earthly Kingdom in the below -- with the Third-Force of Mind that is manifest in the polarities of Male and Female, which has the innate potential to bring the opposites together in the Center (Love-Sphere).   The Law of Octaves when rightly understood, tests every movement for Wholeness and Completion.  Therefore, before I track the more complex movement of the Law of Octaves that tests and checks the movement of all things, let me explain the process from a very simplified perspective.  In the same way that a physical life is initiated through the joining of the male and female genetic essence in the womb of the mother -- on a mental level, every thought that is initiated, must evolve through the same process.  On a physical level, the 23 chromosomes of the male must be joined to the 23 chromosomes of the female -- wherein the genetic earthly material of the parents DNA is then merged with the Spiritual DNA of the Soul that will inhibit the developing body (see Spiritual DNA And The Allotment Of Talents To The Invited Guests http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SpiritualDNA ).  If there is a chromosomal imbalance or defect in the joining process, then the developing embryo/fetus is tested by the Law of Octaves functioning within the Natural Laws, require the replication of the Divine Pattern -- and if the embryo is not in accord with the Pattern, then the embryo is spontaneously aborted or miscarried.  

When this same physical Divine Pattern is understood on a mental-level, then the mind is developed in accord with the same pattern which is holographically replicated on the mental level.  Once the mind develops to what can be portrayed as Natural Organic Consciousness which is the basic bottom line of human intellect, to advance beyond that level requires the same developmental process as the developing embryo.  @@@   

When we therefore understand the twisting of the Laws of Octaves when the bio-energy is transmitted in the First-Cause Source (Heavenly Kingdom) in the portrayal of the Cosmic Note DO, into the Opposite Polarity of the next sequence into the musical note represented in RE in the Second-Cause Earthly Kingdom, which is then expressed as the bio-energy/consciousness begins its movement back up through the Mind (Logos) in an attempt for the bio-energy to return to the Source in the Heavenly Kingdom -- the third-note of MI in the Foundation Sphere is where the Octave then twists (see The Law of Octaves ) either to the Left or the Right  -- and with the natural twisting of the Laws, sending the bio-energy into the Male or Female outer columns of the Tree of Duality (a.k.a. Knowledge of Good and Evil).   The Thoughts and Impressions of the divided Male or Female spheres of mind in the outer columns, is in fact the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Duality that brings death to the eater thereof.  Why death?  Because of the lack of Wholeness and Completion.  But it is the natural twisting of the Law of Octaves between the notes of Mi and Fa in the sequence of do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, se and do, that causes the bio-energy to be channeled into the outer Male or Female Columns.  And when the original Ebionite Nazirene Disciples of Jesus said that he became the Anointed (Messian/Christ) by fulfilling the Law within himself (see Ebionites), overcoming the twisting of the Law of Octaves was one of the primary Laws he prevailed over -- i.e., "'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God'" (Rev 2:7).  It remains impossible for organic natural man to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life, without achieving the necessary Wholeness and Oneness of the male and female columns of the Tree of Duality to which they are polarized to by virtue of their physical gender.

In the same way that when a fetus is nourished through the connection its mother through the umbilical chord, once the child is born the vital life-force that is portrayed as the inheritance that the prodigal son receives before traveling into the Far Country, enters into our body-consciousness through a spiritual/mental umbilical chord connection to our Higher Soul-Self.   In the same way that the nourishment from the fetus' mother feeds the growth of the physical body, the nourishment the person receives through the spiritual/mental umbilical chord feeds and grows the mind of the person after physical birth.   The Spiritual Energy of the Soul is manifest in White Light -- but White Light is itself comprised of the Seven Colors of the Rainbow -- with each color manifesting a different frequency-vibration.   The spiritual energy moves through a Triune manifestation of the polarities of Positive or Heavenly in the Head, the Negative or Earthly polarity in the lower body, and the Third-Force balance in the Center/Heart.  Holographically, the Spiritual Energy in the Head forms the three upper Spiritual Centers, while the Spiritual Energy in the lower body forms the three lower Spiritual Centers, with the Third-Force Balance being maintained in the Center -- thereby manifesting the Seven Spiritual Centers. of the body-vessel.   As the vital life-force moves out into the Mind, the pattern that is forum is portrayed as the Tree of Life -- with the outer two columns forming the Tree of Duality (division of male and female columns).     the seven spiritual centers (chakras) into the twelve spheres of mind that exist in the pattern of the Tree of Life.

The Mind develops through the interaction of the Male and Female Outer Columns -- which merger of opposites have the capacity to restore the unity of the upper Heavenly and lower Earthly Kingdoms together -- the exchange of bio-energy can only be returned to the Source within us, through the Wholeness of Mind as the merger of the Male and Female on all levels of our being brings the bio-energy up through the Center Column -- where the mind of the person is then nourished by the Life-Giving Fruit of the Tree of Life.  But, in order for the bio-energy to return to the Source in what is personified in the upper Heavenly Kingdom, it can only pass through the six incremental steps as personified in the Octave Notes of Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, through the seventh increment of Se, through the the Intellect Sphere, and returned to the Source in the Higher Heavenly Kingdom.  The crucial Intellect Sphere in the diagram of the Tree of LIfe, can be thought of as the physical body where the test of both (male/female) balance and the application of our faith, mental development and knowledge is manifest through our works and actions -- i.e., "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead" (James 2:17).  And it is the balance of the male/female opposite polarities of mind, in conjunction with the restoral and reuniting of the (Male/Female) Upper and Lower Kingdoms as manifest in the works and application of faith and knowledge as personified in our works and actions in the transitioning of the Octave through Se into the next Do in the Intellect Sphere of the Mind as manifest in the pattern of the Tree of Life, that is responsible for the process that expands, deepens and evolves the Mind into a Condition of Spiritual Maturity that brings about the necessary Wholeness as personified in the statement: "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).  In this reference, those who are sick and in need of the physician, are the lost prodigal sons and daughters who because of their divided natures, expel their inheritance in the form of the inherent bio-energy into Nature -- unable to channel it through their own minds and return the bio-energy to the Source in the Heavenly Kingdom.

While the foregoing is in reality a basic portrayal of the Mind, it is important to understand that the White Light of the Soul is derived from the Wholeness achieved through the Oneness of the Seven Spiritual Centers of the body (see The Evolving Soul) -- and the Seven Spiritual Centers is manifest in the glands of the body.  The Mind which is manifest in the Ætheric Field that surrounds the body, functions through the organs of the body.  And this is why the diagrams of the Tree of Life are imposed over the physical body of Man.  As I will explore throughout the below article, each Soul which has been created in the Image of God, can be seen as a vertical slice of Creation -- and all that exists in Creation and the Mind of God, also exists within us.  Which is the basis of the statement on the Delphic Oracle in the words: "Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of Nature: If you do not find within your Self that which you seek, neither will you find it outside.  If you ignore the wonders of your own House, how do you expect to find other wonders?  In you is hidden the Treasure of Treasures.  Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods."   Thus, all that we perceive outwardly, is a reflection of our Inner Self and Our Own Mind and Being.  Which is the basis of the statement in the Gospel of Thomas: "Jesus said, ...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty".   And this is why the Original Gospel is not an historical account -- but very much a portrayal of the seekers own Mind, and the Forces and Laws of Consciousness (see The Reality Of The Original Gospels http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ).  That the Jews who perpetually observe the Law of God outwardly in ritual and tradition -- thereby portrayed as "blind guides" by the account of Jesus in the Gospels -- is why the Jews are condemned as throwing away the Key of Knowledge in their carnal interpretations (see http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ).   Therefore, the majority of what you will find presented herein, is not compatible with Kabbalah because of their carnal interpretations that are in most instances, expressed outwardly by the Jews.

The Law of Octaves And The Gift On The Altar: It is important to understand that when the bio-energy which is the "inheritance" of the prodigal son that he squanders away on "riotous living", hits the Foundation sphere which is manifest in the Colon, the condition of the Colon is of the utmost importance.  In the below subheading entitled The Holographic Mind, the result of what is called an impacted colon severely impacts the thoughts of a person.  And this is especially true when it is understood that the Foundation Sphere of Mind is our connection to the previous lives our Soul has lived within what can be portrayed as the Soul Mind-Matrix (see The Matrix And Soul-Mind ).  And this is why a vegetarian will be able to acquire and develop Soul-Memory (see Spiritual Amnesia ) -- which is one of the primary reasons why meat-eaters can't develop the mind beyond what is portrayed as an "animal-soul" level of consciousness (see Animal-Soul ).   It is also important to understand how carnal man-made doctrines of belief not only flat-line all mental development beyond the "animal-soul" level of consciousness, but also the adherence to these man-made doctrines of belief inhibit the ability of a person to begin to acquire Soul-Memory and recall the previous lives their Soul has lived.   The adherence to these doctrines of belief, undermine the necessary foundation of mind out of which higher development can be brought about (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SoulEvolution ) -- as expressed in the reality of the statement: "The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend".   Erroneous dogmatic man-made carnal beliefs impede and obstruct the development of mind beyond a low-level  "animal-soul" level of consciousness.  

Because the Foundation Sphere of Mind as patterned in the Tree of Life is where each person has a connection to all the previous lives their Soul has lived, it is at this point were our Soul's past greatly impacts the progression of the Octave.  What debts have been incurred over the course of the lives the Soul has lived -- i.e., "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Gal 6:7).  Which was explained by the Church Father Origen in the words: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis - see The Early Church On Predestination).   Those who are bound by their Soul's past, and have been cast into what Jesus portrayed as the prison, are not free of debts -- i.e., "Come to terms quickly with your opponent while you are on the way to court, or your opponent may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison" (Matt 5:25).  Whatever debts remain from the previous lives the Soul has lived, will derail the progression of the octave until which time the debt(s) are satisfied -- i.e., in reference to the prison: "Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out of there, until thou hast paid the uttermost farthing" (Matt 5:26). 

As explained and explored in the subheading The Laws That Control Our Lives, every event that we encounter in this life has a causal factor that is initiated in the past.  The causal factors are directly initiated by the events of the previous lives our Soul has lived.  The question posed to Jesus by his disciples: "Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?'" (John 9:1-2), is reflective of the reality that the Soul incurs debts that must be satisfied in that Soul's previous lives.  In the Gospel of the Nazirenes the most important part of the foregoing teachings is preserved in the statement: "And at another time as Yeshua passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?  Yeshua answered, To what importance is it whether this man or his parents sinned? The rewards of our actions return again to us so that the works of the Lord are made manifest...".  Are the words "...The rewards of our actions return again to us", any different than  “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV)?  Or the assertion that “God will give to each person according to what he has done” (Rom 2:6 NIV); “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life” (Gal 6:7-8 NIV); “If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints” (Rev 13:9-10 NKJ); “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man” (Gen 9:6 NIV); “His disciples asked him [Jesus], Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (Jn 9:2 NIV).   And that each person will be returned to this life in accord with the debts they have incurred in their Souls previous lives -- and will remain in their own self-imposed Prison, until all debts are cleared, is the same as the statement that “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26).   Which means that your present life has been orchestrated by the actions of your Soul's previous lives -- and whatever debts you have incurred in this present life, will be returned back to you in a future life -- and thereafter from life to life, until "...thou hast paid the uttermost farthing”.  Once again as personified in the words of the Church Father Origen: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis - see The Early Church On Predestination).   Thus, whatever befalls you in the present, is the result of your Souls actions in a previous life.  And you don't understand this reality of the Laws of Creation, because the Church edited all these teachings out of the Gospels (see The Religion Of Roman Emperors).   

When Jesus warned the man "...sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14) -- he confirmed the doctrine that all the calamities of life are caused by man's sin and disobedience to the Royal Law of God.   On the question itself that the disciples of Jesus asked -- i.e., Master, who did sin? -- the commentary Barnes’ Notes writes that: "It was a universal opinion among the Jews that calamities of all kinds were the effects of sin. The case, however, of this man was that of one that was blind from his birth, and it was a question which the disciples could not determine whether it was his fault or that of his parents. Many of the Jews, as it appears from their writings (see Lightfoot), believed in the doctrine of the transmigration of souls; or that the soul of a man, in consequence of sin, might be compelled to pass into other bodies, and be punished there. They also believed that an infant might sin before it was born (see Lightfoot), and that consequently this blindness might have come upon the child as a consequence of that".   On the question of who did sin, this man, or his parents, and the pre-existence and reincarnation of the soul, the Adam Clarke Commentary tells us: "The doctrine of the transmigration of souls appears to have been an article in the creed of the Pharisees, and it was pretty general both among the Greeks and the Asiatics. The Pythagoreans believed the souls of men were sent into other bodies for the punishment of some sin which they had committed in a pre-existent state. This seems to have been the foundation of the disciples’ question to our Lord. Did this man sin in a pre-existent state, that he is punished in this body with blindness? Or, did his parents commit some sin, for which they are thus plagued in their offspring!... The Jewish rabbis have had the same belief from the very remotest antiquity. Origen cites an apocryphal book of the Hebrews, in which the patriarch Jacob is made to speak thus: I am an angel of God; one of the first order of spirits. Men call me Jacob, but my true name, which God has given me, is Israel: Orat. Joseph. apud ORIG. Many of the Jewish doctors have believed that the souls of Adam, Abraham, and Phineas, have successively animated the great men of their nation. Philo says that the air is full of spirits, and that some, through their natural propensity, join themselves to bodies; and that others have an aversion from such a union. See several other things relative to this point in his treatises, De Plant. Noe-- De Gigantibus-- De Confus. Ling.-- De Somniis, etc.; and see Calmet, where he is pretty largely quoted".

Thus, when Jesus stated that at Matthew 5:23-26:  "But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God."   And then, with the foundational teachings on the pre-existent Soul removed from the Gospel, it has become impossible to understand the warning which follows the foregoing: "When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. And if that happens, you surely won't be free again until you have paid the last penny."  And what this means is that until you have rectified all debts against the Soul of your brother or sister to whom you have incurred a debt, that the two of you will continue to be brought back together -- in similar circumstances -- until the debts have been resolved and forgiven -- and you will remain in this self-imposed Prison -- unable to advance into a more spiritually mature condition which would enable you to begin to receive the Divine Manna or Sacred Knowledge -- until which time the debts that were incurred, have been released from your Soul.  As the octave progresses through the Foundation sphere of mind, thereby entering through the "narrow gate" is where the altar that Jesus personified is encountered -- i.e., "Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift" (Matt 5:23-24).   Whatever debt you have incurred with your brothers and sisters, will derail the progression of the Octave without the balance of the Judgment and Mercy Spheres of Mind.

  The Law Of Opposites:  Every action has a corresponding reaction that initiates an opposite action.  When a Thought progression is initiated in the initial Doe of the upper sphere of mind -- a corresponding action is initiated in the bottom sphere which is the reflective (feminine) opposite polarity of the top sphere within the pattern of mind as personified in the diagram of the Tree of Life at the right.  What this means is that when a progressive Doe is initiated by the top sphere and transferred to its reflective opposite in the bottom sphere, a corresponding opposite action is initiated where in reverse, the bottom sphere responds with its own Doe that is then reflected in the upper most top sphere.  And in the sequence of Doe, Re, Mi, we see the opposite reflective reaction and twisting of the octaves at the Intellect sphere.   But herein we must understand the meaning and significance of the term Intellect -- which is basically understood in how a person utilizes their knowledge in one's daily actions. 

The Knowledge sphere that is portrayed just beneath the Intellect sphere is the balance of the upper feminine Wisdom sphere and the upper male Understanding spheres.   And this Knowledge is not drawn from the outer world -- but rather, from the Inner Source that nourishes the the mind through the Divine Manna conveyed by the Inner Logos (aka Son of God/True Prophet).  When the Gospels make reference to being nourished by the blood and body of the Son of God, what is being portrayed is the Divine Manna (Spiritual Knowledge) that is allegorically portrayed as the blood (Holy Spirit) and body (Spiritual Knowledge) that can only be imparted to the person directly from the Logos or Son of God that is personified as the True Prophet. 

With great wisdom Jesus is quoted in The Books of the Savior, also known as Pistis Sophia (Faith-Wisdom): "Do not cease seeking day or night, and do not let yourselves relax until you have found all the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into Pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light." And of the transformation of the physical body Jesus said: "Do not desist from seeking by day and by night, until you find the purifying mysteries of the light, which refine the body of matter and make it a pure light very refined." How important is it to seek the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light in the life of all people -- many of whom believe that all is required is to live a good life? In the Pistis Sophia Jesus states this warning: “But if he shall have sinned once, twice, or thrice, they shall reject that soul, sending it back again into the world according to the form of the sins that it may have committed; the form whereof I will declare unto you hereafter. But verily, verily I say unto you, that even the righteous man that hath committed no sin at all cannot be brought into the Kingdom of Light, forasmuch the seal of the mysteries of that kingdom is not found upon him. Once for all, I say unto you, a soul cannot be brought into the kingdom, if it be without the mysteries of the Kingdom of the Light.”

How is this Sacred Knowledge or Diving Manna imparted to the seeker?  The second century Bishop Valentinus stated that without an understanding of the Laws of Creation, it would be impossible for the faith-based Christian to evolve to a state of spiritual maturity -- a condition of mind that is necessary to receive that Divine Manna that is portrayed above as "...the mysteries of the Kingdom of the Light”.  And it is therefore imperative to being to understand what one perceptively-understands when they gaze out at the world -- i.e., Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you...".  And to even begin to understand what one sees as they look out at the world and the great division that is seen among mankind that can rightly be portrayed as the Tower of Babel Syndrome, it is imperative to understand The Enigma Of The Segmented Mind -- and the Laws that cause everyone to see and understand the world and all of life from different and often conflicting perspectives.   In order to receive the Divine Manna or the Knowledge of "...the mysteries of the Kingdom of the Light”, it is imperative to have embraced the The Solution to the Enigma of the Segmented Mind through the process of Triangulation - in order to Overcome The Tower Of Babel Syndrome -- which is necessary to bring about  Mental/Spiritual Growth, and the Expansion necessary to institute Soul-Birth. 

In the progression of the Octave into the Doe, Re, Me through the upper Intellect sphere of mind -- where by the progression is not twisted into the outer columns of the Tree of Duality, thereby permitting the coming together in the Center, Divine Love sphere -- which manifestation in this Center sphere is the fulfillment of the Gospel.  Where the teaching on entering the Kingdom in the Gospel of Thomas states: "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom. They said to him, 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."   To fully understand this ultra-important teaching, it is imperative to understand the version that has been preserved in the 69th chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes:  "And one of the disciples asked him, How shall a man enter into the Kingdom? And he answered and said, If you don't make below as the above, and the left as the right, and the behind as the before, entering into the center and passing into the spirit, you will not enter into the kingdom of God."  And only when we understand the progression of the Octaves through the "narrow gate" within us, can be comprehend how we fulfill the teaching to "...enter into the center and passing into the spirit".  

In the Gospels the requirement is set forth in the words: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NKJ).  In order to enter in at the "narrow strait gate", one must prevail over the Laws that test us.  In the foregoing, the word translated "destruction" in no manner represents what is actually being presented.   Quoting the footnote on this word in the Schofield Reference Bible which reads: “There is no thought in these various words of annihilation but of something that is ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”.  Until one evolves to that condition of mental and spiritual maturity where they can prevail over the Laws, and manifest the Center Love sphere, the Soul must continue to evolve over the course of how ever many lives is necessary to fulfill the Law within themselves.  And this is why the Soul who lived as the historical man Jesus prevailed over the Law, and became the Anointed -- i.e., his Ebionite Nazirene disciples stated that 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. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity" (see Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34).   And it is the fulfillment of the Laws that is the destiny of all of mankind whereby each Soul will prevail when they allegorically pick up their own cross and travail in TheWay.  "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV).   And this is why Jesus warned those who would call themselves his followers and believers: “And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matt 10:38-39 NKJ).

  The Law Of Action And Reaction - All Actions Initiate An Opposite Re-Action:  When we open the hood of a car and we say the word engine, the functioning of that engine is the result of many very different processes all working together in an optimum level of performance.  In many ways the mind functions in a parallel perspective.  Intelligence is derived out of man's ability to perceptively-understand from many diverse perspectives.  In the same way that an automobile engine has many diverse and seemingly separate functions all performing their task both simultaneously and in concert together in order to support the proper running of the engine -- and if any of these separate functions is inhibited, then so too is the functioning of the whole negatively affected -- the same is true of the workings of the mind to function from the foundation of Wholeness (see Wholeness of Mind & Being http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#wholeness ).

It is not until we understand that mankind is presently dwelling in a realm of Duality -- where opposite polarities of the same consciousness can and must interact with each other in order to evolve to Wholeness -- that we can begin to understand the separate functions that must be brought together to bring about Wholeness of Mind and Being.  Therefore, we must pose the question: Why is the One comprised of the Many -- and the Many are often found in conflict with each other?  Because each action has an opposite reaction -- and each solution intimately imposes movement in the opposite manifest polarity.   And in understanding this reality, it then must be understood that when an action is initiated, a corresponding (re)-action is initiated in the opposite polarity.   The Soul, or our True-Self, is a Being of Light -- but what is the Source of this Light?  The intensity, depth and substance of the Light of the Soul is drawn from the balance of positive (male) and negative (reflective) spanning all the lives that Soul has ever lived.  All Soul-Growth is achieved through the interaction of the opposite polarities (positive/negative - male/female) which manifest in what is portrayed as the Third-Force of Mind -- all of which is powered and animated by the Vital Life-Force or Bio-Energy of the Spirit.   At a Soul-Level of Being, no growth can be brought about because the opposite polarities of positive/negative male/female is balanced within the Mind of the Soul.  Wherefore, the Soul must incarnate into lives where the polarities of the Divine Pattern (positive/negative and male/female) are divided and appear separate, so they can interact and gain experiential knowledge.   And in the same way that the two sides of the heart while separate, remain dependent upon their opposite, so too does the polarities of positive/negative (male/female).  

In the same way that the contraction of the two atrium chambers of the heart initiate the contraction in the ventricles of the heart, in this divided reality every action initiates a reactive-action in its opposite polarity.  Which from the higher perspective of mankind wherein the pattern of the complexity of mind is manifest in the pattern of the Tree of Life,  it means that every word, and every action you make, initiates an opposite polarity-action that MUST BE BALANCED IN THE CENTER OF THE TREE OF LIFE.  When balance and wholeness is achieved, then growth and development is brought about.  When the active and reflective opposites cannot be balanced within one's own self, then the action becomes externalized -- which in the parable of the prodigal son, is portrayed as the squandering away of the inheritance on "riotous living".   But because the loss or externalization of the bio-energy is stamped with what can be portrayed as the imprint of our Spiritual DNA, it MUST return back to us -- and this process can and does continue until Wholeness and Completion is achieved. 

  The Divine Mind: If we look at an adult, few of us see that the person is the result and outgrowth of two opposite polarity cells that came together to form an embryo -- and if man was created in the image of Creator-God, then we must permit ourselves to be cognizant of the reality that our own beginning was very much the same as God's Beginning -- and in the beginning we must then understand that the Mind of God and all that exists,  came into being in the form of a Primal Divine Embryo that gave birth to Creation.   In the same way that an adult person did not come into being in the stature of an adult -- and that each person began as a single embryonic cell drawn from the generative essence of the opposite polarities of positive/male and negative/reflective/female, the same is true of God.  And if this is difficult to envision, perhaps even more difficult is the fact that we cannot even begin to envision the process throughout all of the above article, without first understanding the connection that exists between all of mankind and all of Creation.  The problem is seen in the fact that organic (natural) man who is "born blind" to his own higher reality (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SoulEvolution ), cannot even begin to understand his own higher Soul-Reality and the Ætheric Connection between all of mankind.  One of the most important realities that organic man is blind to, is the reality of Mind.  With our physical eyes and vision, we cannot directly see Mind -- yet it not only exists, but we can observe the results of mind in the actions of mankind.  Yet, the more we develop Wholeness of Mind, the more we develop the ability to perceive Mind -- becoming aware of the Mental Bodies that surround Man's physical body as a personal atmosphere.  In addition to breathing in oxygen, with each breath we polarize the body through positive and negative cycles of Mind that surround the physical body.   And as the mind of the person begins to evolve to a more mature level of consciousness, only then is the person able to begin to perceptively-observe not only the Mental-Bodies that surround each person, but also the Ætheric-Connections that connect individual groups of people together -- and especially the Morphic-Field that Unifies the opposite polarities of a man and women who enter into a Divine Marriage.   That Organic Man is blind to these higher realities of Mind and Spirit -- but has the capacity of develop his expanded perceptive-sight -- is portrayed in the Gospel of Thomas in the words: (5) Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you...".

When the first century elder Ignatius wrote to the Christian congregation of believers that: “Might I not write to you things more full of mystery?  But I fear to do so, lest I should inflict injury on you who are babes.  Pardon me in this respect, lest, as not being able to receive their weighty import, ye should be strangled by them” -- he said this because if he was to begin to even convey the truth and reality of man's higher soul and spiritual nature and the Kingdom, these Christians would very quickly dismiss him as a crazy lunatic, and they would no longer listen to a thing that he says.   Therefore, Ignatius, as with all the biblical authors (see Mystery), understood that the mind of the believer must be matured -- the dormant spheres of mind that do not correspond to this physical world must become activated and developed -- in order for the believer to begin to perceive and grasp his own higher soul and spiritual reality.   When Jesus said to the woman at the well that she was unable to go and get her husband because she had five husbands (John 4:18), we must be cognizant of the fact that Jesus and other spiritually advanced souls are able to see into the Ætheric (Field) dimensions that man in his natural organic condition cannot.  What Jesus was observing when he made this statement, was the stream of vital life-force from five different men with whom the woman had sex, as a connective thought-stream entering into her.  And this expansion of organic human perceptive-vision and conscious beyond normal physical limits is what is portrayed in the process: "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little" (Isa 28:9-10 NKJ).    In the same way that an infant grows into a child and adult one step at a time, so too does the process of mental-expansion take place line upon line.  And this immaturity of mind and spirit causes the vast majority of believers not to comprehend an important overlooked and not understood Bible passage states in reference to the Higher Reality of God that mankind is blind to: “‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring’” (Acts 17:28 NIV).  If we indeed "...live and move and have our being" within God, then what is our true relationship to God?  When we put the foregoing together with the statement by James Jeans that: “...the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine”.  Or the words of Arthur Eddington: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff”.  What is portrayed is a higher reality that few people are even prepared to contemplate -- much less, understand with sufficient degree to even form a realistic opinion.  We live and move and have our being in God, because there is nothing but Mind. And all that exists, exists because the Thoughts of God brought it into existence. And when you look at the outer world, what you are seeing is the Mind of God allegorically presented to you in the forms of nature.

An Enlightened person who understands the Natural Laws of Creation, understands that God is not a being who is separate from man -- but is the very Consciousness within which we move and have out being.  Perhaps one of the best teachings (which was removed from the canonical Gospels by the Church), has been preserved in the outlawed Gospel of the Nazirenes, and is known as the parable of the fishes (quoting): "And there were certain men, of doubtful mind, who came to Yeshua, and said to him, You tell us that our life and being comes from God, but we have never seen God, nor do we know of any God. Can you show us whom you call the Father-Mother, one God? We don't know if there is a God. Yeshua answered them, saying, Hear this parable of the fishes. The fishes of a certain river communed with one another, saying, they tell us that our life and being is from water, but we have never seen water, we don't know what it is. Then some among them, wiser than the rest, said, We have heard there dwells in the sea a wise and learned fish, who knows all things. Let us journey to him, and ask him to show us what water is. So several of them set out to find this great and wise fish, and they came at last to the sea where in the wise fish dwelt, and they asked of him. And when he heard them he said to them, O you foolish fish that don't contemplate! The few of you who seek, are wise. You live, and move, and have your being in the water; from the water you came, to the water you return. You live in the water, yet you don't know it.' In a similar manner, you live in God, and yet you ask of me, 'Show us God.' God is in all things, and all things are in God."  

Does a fish see the water?  No.  They only see the physical form of the objects that exist within the water -- or in the analogy of the fish, the water is the Reality of Mind within which all the physical objects exist.   At a deeper level, all of Mankind and Creation exits -- and is intimately connected -- within the Mind of God.  And while, like the fish, organic man can only see the form of the physical objects, because organic man is blind to the Reality of Mind and Spirit, we fail to see that “‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring’” (Acts 17:28).  Which has been confirmed in the words of James Jeans that: “...the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine” -- and the words of Arthur Eddington who is portrayed as an astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who did his greatest work in astrophysics.: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff”.  

How did the Divine Mind come into being?  From what has been conveyed to me: In the very beginning a Spark of Consciousness Moved -- and in the move, a difference of potential was formed which created the polarities of positive (active-principle associate with male) and negative (reactive/reflective-principle associated with female) -- with the experience of the initial movement being the Third-Force Logos or Mind -- and in this primary consciousness, the Primal Embryo came into being in the same way that an embryo is evolved by the Natural Laws in the formation of a person.  In the same way that an embryo evolves into a complex mind that is able to perceive life from a great diversity of perceptive-understanding, the same was true of the Divine Embryo that came into being in the Alpha of Creation.  In the same way that an embryo has no experiential knowledge, God sought to Know -- and since nothing but God existed, God sought to Know Thyself -- and in pursuit of this Divine Knowledge, all the Souls came into being and were holographically created as sparks of the Divine Mind in the pursuit of Self-Knowledge.  By Law, the Souls remained intimately connected to the Primary Source -- and as the Souls moved out into Creation and brought forth their own offspring-expressions, the connection was maintained.  In the Very Beginning, abject ignorance prevailed because no experiential knowledge existed. The Soul's themselves which were 12 dimensional beings of Light, could not experience, because of their own Wholeness.  In the same way that White Light is comprised by the seven primary colors as expressed in the rainbow -- and an Octave is comprised of the seven primary notes that make it up -- and in the same way that it is the blending of the primary colors that enables an artist to create a masterpiece -- and a musician to compose a master opera -- the only way that the Soul could experience, was to interact within itself by proxy with other Souls in a divided reality. Thus, in this three-dimensional reality the polarities of male and female were divided -- but because of the holographic pattern, the positive (male) polarity ("XY") maintained a negative (female "X") polarity that was rendered inactive and passive, because of the dominant outward flow of vital life-force generative power -- while the negative (female) polarity ("XX) became imbued with a quasi-male polarity that is drawn from the woman's father -- but the female was imbued with an "X" factor from her mother, which enabled her to manifest the ability to be a surrogate for the male's suppressed negative polarity -- often portrayed as the two becoming "one flesh" with the union of opposites.  Because White Light is comprised of seven primary vibrational colors -- the vibrational frequencies also responsible for the seven notes of an Octave -- a division between what has come to be the heavenly and the earthly formed. Mathematicians such as Pythagoras, Bruno and Gurdjieff have envisioned a mathematical foundation to Creation, because the spectrum of the division of both the seven primary colors and the seven notes of an octave are very much mathematical in their separation.   Quoting from The Story Of Mathematics: "The mystical Pythagoras was so excited by this discovery that he became convinced that the whole universe was based on numbers, and that the planets and stars moved according to mathematical equations, which corresponded to musical notes, and thus produced a kind of symphony, the 'Musical Universalis' or 'Music of the Spheres'”.   In the same way that mathematics controls the frequencies of sound and the spectrum of color, the same is true of Mind and the Evolution of Consciousness and the pursuit of Wholeness and Completion. 

In holding to the primary Divine Pattern in the consciousness of man, an upper male/female triad formed with the sixth spiritual center often portrayed as the third-eye -- and this male-triad became the male-polarity in relation to the reflective female-polarity of the lower triad that formed the earthly reality which itself being imbued with the Divine Pattern, formed the lower triad of earthly nature -- manifesting the lower earthly kingdoms of mineral, vegetable and animal. But the balance of the heavenly-triad with the earthly-triad meant that the fourth kingdom of man became the balance point of all of Creation where all growth and development took place. The fourth kingdom of man was divided across the polarities of man and women -- which in the blueprint of mind as patterned in the twelve spheres of the Tree of Life, separated the mind into a left (feminine) and right (male) columns which is portrayed as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Duality). And these outer columns were themselves threefold in the representation of spiritual, physical and third-force balance. But so long as duality existed, ignorance would prevail -- which portrays the divided incomplete male and female impressions as the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Duality.  But when Wholeness was achieved where the 12 spheres of mind were all equally developed and balanced across the spectrum of opposite (male/female) polarities with their respective third-force balance -- and with Wholeness, the All could be brought into the Center Love Sphere which is the Wholeness/Love portrayed in the Gospels -- and this would enable the person to become At-One with their Higher Soul-Selves. The formula for achieving Wholeness and the subsequent stages of birth is presented in the 22nd saying of the Gospel of Thomas in the words: "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."

With Wholeness achieved, the polarities of heaven/earth (Upper/Lower) which are male/female in relation to each other, expressing through the male/female columns of the Tree of Duality brought together, enabled the growth and development of the Light of the Soul to take place. And while the un-evolved Souls remained as sparks of the Divine Mind, the advanced Souls evolved into Great Beings of Light -- Light being the manifestation of All-Knowing Intellectual Love-Energy. In the Final Stage of Birth, the Soul-Alpha (Female) is brought together with its paradoxical opposite Soul-Omega (male), and the Center which is the Mind on all levels of Being expressed across TIME, is expressed in the Ultimate Love-Energy of Absolute Completion and Intellectual Knowing.   The Soul of the man Jesus is representative of this Evolution of Consciousness by overcome the Natural Laws of Creation, and is the Pattern which all of mankind will eventually accomplish within themselves.       

All growth is brought about when an action initiates its opposite, and this action and reaction is brought about by the Natural Laws of Creation.  And those who seek to understand the Natural Laws have been traditionally known as Deists.  While Ralph Waldo Emerson is known as the father of Transcendentalism, he is also known as a Deist -- but by definition, it has been noted that Plato and Pythagoras can be defined as a Deist.   Moreover, when it is understood that the man Jesus fulfilled the Law to become At-One with the Indwelling Logos (see The Ebionite Nazirenes http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#Ebionite ), this would have been impossible without a higher understanding of the Natural Laws of Creation.  And of ultra interest in understanding the Natual Laws that connect in the manner above as the fishes in the parable, is the statement in the book on Emerson where it is written: "Emerson gives his argument a special twist at this point since his first sentence also alludes to Paine's Rights of Man.  Arguing for the rights of men over the rights of institutions and government, he recalls Paine's claims for the sacred rights of the individual.   Like Emerson, Paine's 'motive and subject" -- as he describes it in a letter of 1806 to John Inskeep, the mayor of Philadelphia -- had always been 'to rescue man from the tyranny and false systems and false principles of government, and enable him to be free.'"  (see Nature's Archives - p. 114).    While it is noted that this exposé portrays Emerson's thesis on the Oversoul as perhaps his most important work, it is also noted that very little useable information is provided to the reader.   And because of the great importance of this higher reality, this present work is intended to fill in the great void with respect to the higher reality of the soul of man that few religions or philosophies today have any real understanding of.

With respect to Ralph Waldo Emerson thesis on the Oversoul, quoting the Wikipedia: The Oversoul� is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, first published in 1841. The broad subject of the essay, considered one of Emerson's best, is the human soul.  Several general themes are treated: (1) the existence and nature of the human soul; (2) the relationship between the soul and the personal ego; (3) the relationship of one human soul to another; and (4) the relationship of the human soul to God.  Influence of Eastern religions, including Vedantism, is plainly evident, but the essay also develops ideas long present in the Western tradition, e.g., in the works of Plato, Plotinus, and Emmanuel Swedenborg.  The essay attempts no systematic doctrine, but rather serves as a work of art, something like poetry.  Its virtue is in personal insights of the author and the lofty manner of their presentation.  Emerson wishes to exhort and direct the reader to an awakening of similar thoughts or sentiments.  With respect to the four themes listed above, the essay presents the following views: (1) the human soul is immortal, and immensely vast and beautiful; (2) our conscious ego is slight and limited in comparison to the soul, despite the fact that we habitually mistake our ego for our true self; (3) at some level, the souls of all people are connected, though the precise manner and degree of this connection is not spelled out; and (4) the essay does not seem to explicitly contradict the traditional Western idea that the soul is created by and has an existence that is similar to God, or rather God exists within us. This idea was later adopted by many religions.

Take notice of the above statement:  "...at some level, the souls of all people are connected, though the precise manner and degree of this connection is not spelled out" -- and when the Cosmology of Mind is understood, it is seen that what Emerson was missing was an understanding of the Matrix of the Soul (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image ) --- wherein, all the soul-generated personalites across the dimension of what we call TIME, remain connected within what can be portrayed as an Intellectual Mind-Matrix of the Soul -- and holographically, this same Matrix of the Soul also exists on a higher level within the Matrix of the Logos (see Logos ).   Other quotes by Emerson on the soul of man is seen in the words: "The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal."   And again: "It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Nothing is dead; men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals… and there they stand looking out of the window, sound and well, in some strange new disguise" —Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 (see Man As An Embryonic Soul-Image ), man is portrayed as a projected image of the soul -- and in the same way that all the previous images of the soul-self that lived in all the lifetimes that the soul has lived are all dwelling within the Soul Mind-Matrix, all the souls who are portrayed as the Soul-Self which is the True Being that each of us is, all dwell within the Matrix of the Logos (Mind of God).  Holographically,  in the same way that the soul is the sum total of all the lifetimes that it has lived, the Logos (Mind of God) is the sum total of all the experiences of all the souls that came into existence since the beginning of Creation -- and thus, all of Creation is evolving and moving from the Alpha of ignorance to the Omega of Enlightened Light. 

Building upon the Foundation that we are all expressions of the Divine Mind -- and at a deeper level of Consciousness, we are all connected -- the higher reality of our life in this world is that each of us is evolving through the interactions with the souls of others, begins to unfold --  and when it is understood that all our words and actions initiate their opposite polarity that, IF NOT BALANCED AND WHOLE  within us, is released into the outer world and eventually comes back upon us.   Only when we begin to perceptively understand the deeper connection of all souls -- and we begin to grasp the higher realities of the life that we are presently living -- can the spiritual/esoteric meaning of the Sermon on the Mount (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj_X0rdBQDM -- SEE ALSO http://TheGift.nazirene.org/ ). 

In the same way that modern science has confirmed the existence of Spirit which it portrays as an UNSEEN SOURCE-FIELD (see The True Facts And Realities Of Life http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#TrueFactAndRealitiesOfLife ) -- and has therefore confirmed the validity of the analogy of Plato's Cave which portrays mankind as only being able to perceive SHADOW-IMAGES generated by the UNSEEN SOURCE-FIELD (see Plato - The Physicist http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#Plato ) -- and perhaps even more important is the reality that science has now proven  the connection of Mind and Spirit between physical bodies/objects. 

In Gary Zukav's book -- the title of which is taken from the Chinese expression for physics, wu li, which he translates as “patterns of organic energy”, and writes: “Bell’s theorem not only suggests that the world is quite different than it seems, it demands it. Something very exciting is happening. Physicists have ‘proved’ rationally that our rational ideas about the world in which we live are profoundly deficient”.   What therefore is Bell's Theorem?   Bell’s theorem, which was proposed in 1964 by J.S. Bell, a physicist working in Switzerland, was first confirmed experimentally in 1972.  Physicist Henry Stapp, in a 1975 federal report called it the most “profound discovery of science”.  Bell’s theorem succeeds in exhibiting the bizarre nature of the subatomic world.  Experiments show that if paired particles which are identical twins in their polarity fly apart, and the polarity of one is changed by an experimenter, the polarity of the other particle changes instantaneously.  Thus, even though from a physical perspective the two particles appear to us as unconnected and separate, it has been proven that the particles remain mysteriously connected regardless of the fact that there is no physical connection.  

Why is the reality of Bell's Theorem portrayed as the most “profound discovery of science”?   The crux of the problem that has limited man's thinking to that of the intellectual dark ages, is found in the statement that the mind of man sees only what he is prepared to comprehend!   And this organic (human) limitation imposed upon our perceptive-vision, inhibits our ability to understand the physical-forms and physical-reality of what we do see with our physical-eyes and senses.  In the above link entitled The True Facts And Realities Of Life, I demonstrate that our organic human vision does not permit us to perceive the Source of the images we see that is generated from an UNSEEN SOURCE-FIELD.  While Bell's Theorem has proven the connectedness of the physical objects we do see, our undeveloped and immature physical eyes and senses cannot detect or comprehend the reason and purpose of these (ætheric) connections.  And the fact that Bell's Theorem not only proves that the physical images that we see and interact with our physical senses are connected, but also that the physical objects are affected by the mind of mankind in ways that the vast majority of people are not prepared in any way to understand -- unless they consciously develop the ability to perceptively-gaze into what modern science has portrayed as the UNSEEN SOURCE-FIELD.  And most importantly with respect to the findings of Bell's Theorem, that what we see is affected by our own thinking, and this fact is demonstrated in the text of Itzhak Bentov’s book which reveals that: “The quantum theory asserts that there is no way one can measure some sets of things, like momentum and position, together very accurately... because the consciousness of the experimenter interacts with the experiment itself.  Therefore, it becomes possible that the attitude of the experimenter must also influence the outcome of any particular experiment” (Preface to Stalking The Wild Pendulum, by Itzhak Bentov).  

Quoting the Widipedia article on Bell's Theorem: "The title of Bell's seminal article refers to the 1935 paper by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen that challenged the completeness of quantum mechanics.  ...After the EPR paper, quantum mechanics was in an unsatisfactory position: either it was incomplete, in the sense that it failed to account for some elements of physical reality".  In the same way, Einstein experienced shock when he first came into contact with the new emerging reality of atomic physics, and wrote in his autobiography: “All my attempts to adapt the theoretical foundation of physics to this [new type of] knowledge failed completely. It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere, upon which one could have built”.  In much the same fashion, the European physicist Niels Bohr stated that “…The great extension of our experience in recent years has brought to light the insufficiency of our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a consequence, has shaken the foundation on which the customary interpretation of observation was based.”  What this means is exactly as stated by Einstein when he stated: “We may therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense… There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality” (quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary Physics).  What is being stated is that the primary focus of science where only what was seen with one's physical eyes, has now been rendered inadequate and incomplete -- it being focused totally on observable matter -- because the emerging body of facts and evidence now demonstrates that what we perceive physically, is a projection from an UNSEEN Source where True Reality exists.  Which provokes the question: What is being projected?  Thus, the statement by astronomer James Jeans: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine”; and the statement by astronomer Arthur Eddington: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff” -- both demonstrate the reality that there is nothing but Projected Thought.   Which means that you are a thought that is being projected in this world by your True-Self that dwells in the reality of an UNSEEN CAUSAL FIELD.

Holographically, the pattern of the Whole is replicated into each of the parts that make it up -- so if we pose the question: What is the intellectual level of a sperm or ovum?  If man and woman are holographically representative of cosmic sperm and ovum, then the intellectual limitations placed upon mankind are natural and organic. 

 If what Paul and the other Gospel Authors stated is true, and there exist higher realities and dimensions of being that are totally inconceivable to the mind of the undeveloped faith-based believer (see Mysteries Of The Gospel ) -- and by virtue of the immaturity of the faith-based believers brought about by an embryonic condition of mind which Paul portrayed as the "natural" mind of man -- and the limitations of this embryonic condition of mind even inhibited Jesus from conveying the true meaning of the scriptures, and the higher reality of the soul and the Kingdom to all but his inner core of disciples (see In The House - Taught In Parables) -- which means that the biblical authors were therefore powerless to explain in detail many of the most important Gospel teachings and concepts in the literal text of the New Testament -- then the spiritually mature author's of the scriptures who were themselves enlightened to these higher realities, remained virtually powerless to do anything more than to provide the people with a list of do's and don'ts -- so that the faith-based believers will be in a position where they will be better able to evolve to a mature understanding and comprehension of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay.  To totally ignore these do's and don'ts, without knowing the consequence of one's choices and actions, is paramount to walking out onto a freeway blindfolded.      

All growth and development derailed. 

Bell's Theorem proves and demonstrates that physical bodies/objects and people are connected on a deeper level -- which in the above is portrayed as the Ætheric Field of Mind and Spirit.  When it is understood that while we cannot perceive it with our immature and undeveloped physical eyes that are blind to the reality that we are all connected on a deeper level of mind and spirit -- and all our actions initiate a corresponding (re)-action from their opposite polarity -- AND, all initiated actions are marked with our Soul's Spiritual DNA --  if an action and (re)-action cannot be balanced within our own mind through the Gateways ("narrow strait gate") of the Tree of Life, the externalized (re)-action MUST be perpetually returned back to us -- until it is able to be balanced within us.  When the Church Father Origen stated that “Every Soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis) -- it must be understood that these strengths and weaknesses are the direct expression of the victories and/or defeats that enable each of us to bring about Wholeness in our generated words and actions.  Each time we initiate an action, and are unable to balance our action with its corresponding (re)-action opposite polarity generation, we not only suffer loss -- portrayed as the loss of our inheritance in the parable of the prodigal son -- but we become anchored to the thinking and carnal realities of this world.  

What Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan had attempted to explain, was that in their Soul's previous lives, those who perished in the Holocaust "were reincarnations of the Souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done.”   Which the mystic Isaac Lauria had explained when he wrote: “If the Soul was not purified entirely the first time, and it left this world, that Soul must come back in a reincarnation, even a few times, until it is entirely purified.”  But this could also have been explained in the Gospel teachings when Jesus stated at Matthew 5:23-26:  "But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God."   And then, with the foundational teachings on the pre-existent Soul removed from the Gospel, it has become impossible to understand the warning which follows the foregoing: "When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. And if that happens, you surely won't be free again until you have paid the last penny."  And what this means is that until you have rectified all debts against the Soul of your brother or sister to whom you have incurred a debt, that the two of you will continue to be brought back together -- in similar circumstances -- until the debts have been resolved and forgiven -- and you will remain in this self-imposed Prison -- unable to advance into a more spiritually mature condition which would enable you to begin to receive the Divine Manna or Sacred Knowledge -- until which time the debts that were incurred, have been released from your Soul. 

blindness

Jesus taught that there were three (3) causes of blindness (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SoulEvolution ) -- i.e., (1) the debts (sins) incurred against others in a previous life the Soul lived; (2) the sin of one's parents who did not properly prepare their children to properly develop the higher areas of mind and spirit; (3) the natural immaturity of organic human consciousness imposed upon every person as they begin to achieve the necessary stages of higher development of mind and spirit: "Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?'" (John 9:1-2).  Jesus portrayed the Pharisees as "blind guides", because their thinking, mindset, religious framework of thinking and their lifestyle inhibited their higher development.  Organic blindness is the normal undeveloped mental condition of mind.  And what this means is that because of undeveloped immaturity, all of mankind are born blind to their own higher Soul and Spiritual Reality.  But as the mind of man matures and evolves to a condition of 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) -- the fullness of perceptive-vision and enlightened understanding will come -- unless the process of developmental-maturity of mind and consciousness is derailed by mental obstacles and/or a carnal lifestyle immersed in the ways and thinking of this world. 

In the Epistle to the Corinthians Paul commands to "…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5) -- but how can such a reality be achieved?  The answer is to bring about Wholeness in every action, which permits one's thoughts and actions to be drawn into and through the "narrow strait gate" of the Tree of Life.  To affirm this requirement as genuine, the Gospel account of Jesus warns: "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment" (Matt 12:36 KJV).  Idle words can be defined as those thoughts or impressions which are not, and cannot be made Whole.   Which is why Paul tells us to "Pray without ceasing" (1Thes 5:17 KJV).   When it is understood that every action is subject to Judgment( "...your accuser may hand you over to the judge" )  -- which is determined by our ability to bring about Wholeness to our Actions (see Everyday Is Judgment Day http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#JudgmentDay ) -- and that our actions that can't be brought into Wholeness anchor us to this world as the Far Country in the parable of the prodigal son -- which MUST be redeemed "...and you will be thrown into prison. And if that happens, you surely won't be free again until you have paid the last penny".   And because ultra-important teachings were removed and suppressed in the Original Gospels, modern believers cannot understand the above -- and/or the process that brings it about in our lives. 

The Law is that as you do unto others, the same will be returned to you.   And while this return may not be in the present life, it will come back upon the Soul until the last debt is repaid and neutralized -- i.e., "...till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (see Getting Out Of The Prison).    And of even greater importance is the fact that so long as debts are owed to one's brothers and sisters, it remains impossible to fulfill the Laws and manifest the Final Temple within one's self.  The Church Father Origen who was known as "the prince of Christian learning" in the third century, second only to the Apostles, writes that "...to every one according to his merits; nor will the happiness or unhappiness of each one's birth, or whatever be the condition that falls to his lot, be deemed accidental" (see Predestination ).  Why?   Why are the conditions of one's birth not deemed an accident?   Because there are no accidents as the Atheist and Secular Humanist mindset promotes.    Origen then goes on and writes with respect to each person's station in life "...that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel [person] has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor."   And, as stated in the foregoing, each person's birth into this life is determined by that person's own past actions -- i.e., "...either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor".   Or, as stated by the Apostle Paul: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV). 

If the person's thoughts, words and/or actions cannot be brought to Wholeness within the mind and body of the person -- and as explained and explored above, the opposite polarity or (re)-action is externalized and imbued with the imprint of that souls Spiritual DNA -- then often that soul must be born in accord with the physical embodiment that will permit the soul to retrieve the lost externalized aspect of in a future life.   If a man abuses and/or rapes a woman, that imprint of self carrying his soul's Spiritual DNA cannot be restored back to him as a man -- so he will have to be born as a women in order to restore the loss of his essence when he abused and/or raped a woman (or women).  And his abusive actions towards a woman remains embedded in that man and woman's Ætheric bodies "...till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (see The Reality Of Mind http://KnowThyself.Nazirene.org#TheRealityOfMind ).  

When Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount to turn the other cheek, and to forgive all who abuse and persecute you, these statements were presented as a matter of the Natural Laws of Consciousness.  When you are attacked by another person, you turn the other cheek and/or forgive the abuser so as not to become a part of his karmic imprint which must be repaid and balanced in the future.  When you forgive, you shield yourself from being imprinted in your own Ætheric Field by the aggressors externalized imprint of his Spiritual DNA, which protects you from being a part of the other person's necessary process of retrieving their externalized imprinted aspect of self that was lost in that person's inability to balance their (re)-active actions.  This cycle of action and reaction has been portrayed as The Karmic Wheel.  One account was provided by a woman in one of our Spiritual Forums where she explained: 

"I was born understanding Karma.. and how to jump off the Karmic wheel when the understanding and compassion of how to, comes into your life....
or your mind...  What he did to me with the knife and the continuous assault for three months or more, was a debt he owed me...... when I went IN TU IT (employed her intuition) and found out what I had incurred upon him before, when we were together in another lifetime my heart and my mind totally understood this ...totally ...when I had this flash of insight and my body also remembered I called him on the phone to let him know ...that I understood.  I asked him if he had a few minutes to speak to me....... reluctantly he said, YES...... I then proceeded to tell him that I FORGAVE him for all he did to TO ME, and that I understood why he did it.  He was speechless..... for about 30 secs and then said to me Janet I don't know what to say .......... how can you forgive me?  I said well I can I know why you did what you did and I am calling you now to let you know I forgive you totally and completely.  I then proceeded to explain to him that I am jumping off this wheel with him now, because I have come to that place on my path...... that I understand the why's and how's of why he did it.  I told him I love you unconditionally and will always love you unconditionally.  He said what? I said unconditional love is the first and most important lesson any soul can learn.  I said Thank you for bringing me that lesson and doing your JOB really well.  From this lesson you gave me, I have learned much.  I am now telling you I am off this wheel with you, one of us had to learn.  I did ........... I send you love, compassion and peace. May you find peace and happiness in your life, and now I am gone from it.  I love you, take care.  End of conversation".
