The Birth of the historic Yeshua and the Feast of Tabernacles

As we saw in the previous article, the Hebrew word for Messiah, Mashiaj, can be read "there is brain/understanding", yesh moaj. 

And Understanding (Binah) is the consort of Wisdom (Jokmah) because it reveals what remains hidden. In the Universal Teaching we´re concerned with, Wisdom and Understanding are the implicit and the explicit, the seed and the tree, the union of the intuitive right hemisphere with the logical left hemisphere of the brain, union without which there can´t be spiritual evolution.

Therefore, let´s make an exercise of understanding that may feed our divine soul.

Seven are the festive reminders that have always been celebrated within Judeochristianity, and these play an essential symbolic role, both in the Old and New Testaments, since these convey a message concerning spiritual evolution and the Messianic Era.

Displayed in order, these are: Passover (Peshaj), Unleavened Bread (Matzot), First Fruits (Bikurim), Pentecost or Weeks (Shavuot), New Year (Rosh Hashana) or Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teura), Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), which has special significance since, according to the Gospels, it´s linked both to Yeshua´s incarnation–whose birth started on September 11th, 3 B. [1]– and transfiguration, which would serve as model for the future, the Messianic Era which anticipates its first rays.

Owing to the adoption of the Roman traditions which are alien to the Apostolic line of transmission, the Feast of Tabernacles has remained forgotten for centuries within the "Christian" world in general; although now it begins to be remembered with all its meaning, possibly because the energy of understanding known as Messiah begins to be manifested in those who thirst for truth, despite more than a hundred years are still left for the official entry of the Messianic Age.

The true significance of the Feast of Tabernacles has also remained hidden for many who celebrate it since centuries ago.

Now, according to Zacariah 14:16, there would come a day in which all nations would celebrate this feast. Of course, this does not mean all nations will come to adopt the Jewish religion, but rather that a critical mass of people will start to discover the inner divinity, incarnating the Messiah at different levels. As Yeshua himself manifested, many would be able to do the things he did, and even greater deeds (John 14:12). He was, of course, referring to the second coming, which is the collective arrival of the Messiah, foretold in different religions.

The first complete arrival materialized in the prophet Yeshua, and it seems this was already marked since the moment of his birth, which according to the Gospel of Luke took place during the Feast of Tabernacles, on Tishrei 15th, which is presently celebrated between September and October due to astronomic reasons. Particularly, this year 2016 it begins today, 15th of October.

The feast commemorates the eighth symbolic days during which the Hebrews –who were crossing the wilderness after their captivity in Egypt– dwelt in tents (sukkot) made with branches, where they celebrated with rejoicement the protection they received from the Divine (Leviticus 23:33). This rejoicement was celebrated with food and the study of the Torah/Instruction. The first day they only ate fruits from the trees, in clear allusion to the Tree of Life.

Over time, this feast began to take place in Jerusalem, where the Israelites had to go in pilgrimage in order to celebrate it, reason why the houses and inns were full.

Undoubtedly, the author of Luke´s Gospel had this in mind when he wrote:

And she gave birth to her first born and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn (Luke 2:7).

If there was no place in the inn it is reasonable to think it was due to the Feast of Tabernacles.

It does´t seem a coincidence either that the word used is "manger", which in Hebrew corresponds to sukot, being a rustic dwelling, like the manger Jacob built for the cattle, which gave name to the place Sukot( Genesis 33:17), all of which is symbolic.

Now, additional data leave no place for doubt to think Yeshua/Jesus was born on September, opening the time of three Feasts: Rosh Hashanah or New Year, Yom Kippur, and and Sukkoth or Tabernacles. 

First of all, Luke 1:36 specifies that Miryam´s cousin, Elizabeth, who would give birth to John the Baptist, was pregnant since sixth months ago. And the author of the gospel was descriptive enough to suggest the month in which Elizabeth became pregnant, and he does it by giving specific details about the father, Zachariah; he indicates that while Zachariah performed his priestly dutiesunder the division of Abijah, he was told his wife would give birth (Luke 1:5-13). Soon after he returned home, she got pregnant, she conceived.

In order to understand which date he is pointin to, we must know the Jewish tradition, which states that the service on the temple was performed by twenty four groups of priests and it took place from Shabat to Shabat, a week of service each (2nd Chronicles 23:4-8).

And the division of Abijah worked during the eighth week of feasts, that is, during the Feast of Pentecost (1st Chronicles 24:7-10), in June according to our calendar.

Moreover, we must take into account that one of the three extra weeks assigned for the priests during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost and Tabernacles respectively (Deuteronomy 16:16).

From here we can deduce that Zachariah went back home around the end of June. Coincidently, the Feast of Saint John is usually celebrated on 21 of June since centuries ago. 

And all seems to indicate that John the Baptist was born close to Easter, around March.

Therefore, if Yeshua was born sixth months later, it must have been towards September, time in which three feasts were celebrated: New Year, Feast of Redemption and Tabernacles.

It´s not surprising that in some villages of Spain the birth of Yeshua is celebrated between August and September. Very possibly this is an old remnant of ancient Judeochristianity that survived the cultural clean up that the Church of Rome performed with its thirst for power, under the support of Catholic kings, Elizabeth and Fernando.

And if all this still seems not enough, there are astronomical data that fix the issue once and for all.

It is not possible to understand the gospels without knowing ancient astro-cosmology, which uses the twelve zodiacal signs (Mazzarot in Hebrew) as a cosmic clock. 

Luke 1:26 starts by telling the Angel Gabriel was sent to Mary on the sixth month. And in those first centuries the sixth month corresponded to when the sun raised before the sixth constellation, Virgo, the Virgin, mathematical fact that in those days took place between August and September, the seventh month or Sept.

This explains the famous prophetic message:

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means God with us) (Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 7:14).

The fact someone important would be born at that time was even known by the Eastern magicians, since the information was transmitted throughout different cultures.

Those who knew how to interpret sacred texts and astronomic signs, also understood that there exist assigned cycles for the birth of divine energies, and this is expressed symbolically.

Actually, the author of the Gospel suggest that the mother of Yeshua, Miriam, came from a priestly family, since he makes her recite a psalm (Luke 1:46-48), and this was not done by ordinary women in the Judaic culture. And those psalmic words, in the mouth of Mariam, come to express that the virgin is the divine soul or pristine consciousness where the Light of the Messiah/Christ must be engendered, bringing an intense delight, something for which one must prepare the temple of the body (John 2:21), which Paul called "temporal tent", since we must become living tabernacles (2 Cor 5:1-2; 1 Cor 6:19).

And let them make a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst (Exodus 25:8).

And the word became flesh and "tabernacled" among us (Juan 1:14).

Thus, the Feast of Sukkot expresses the moment in which Divinity manifests in the purified body, protecting it, since it serves as a "tabernacle" or temporal vehicle.

Only by means of a purification of mind, heart and body can one become aware of what is the inner Messiah/Christ. Until then, the divine watches us, unsuspected by anyone, as it happens in that enigmatic passage where Yeshua goes unnoticed, during the Feast of Tabernacles, to be precise, until he reveals himself, taking everyone by surprise:

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out "If anyone thirst, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water". 

The seven sacred feasts take place in Winter and Autum, the two Equinoxes where the opposites are balanced, as Ancient Cosmology shows.

And if we pay attention, we will see that the life of Yeshua is painstakingly structured following these feasts, revealing their internal meaning: 

He celebrates the Passover following the Essene calendar, where he shares unleavened bread and wine, which symbolize his spiritual body and blood, as well as the literal and mystical side of the Teaching.

He dies during the pharisaic Passover, as replacement of the Paschal Lamb, which is an allusion to the constellation Aries, before which the sun passed during the crucifixion.

He resurrects on the first fruits, announcing the first fruits of a future Messianic Era.

He sends the Holy Spirit in Pentecost.

As for the Feasts of Trumpets and Atonement, what do they represent? 

And considering that the Feast of Tabernacles, the last, corresponds to his fleshy dwelling and latter transfiguration, what do these two moments represent in our life?

Let´s each one do the homework and ponder that.

For now we will proceed with the theme of sacred nutrition, during any of the following days of the ongoing Feast.

Conscious Feeding 2: Neutralizing the Serpent

I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16 ESV).

As we´ve already seen, carnal-temporal existence is like living inside the belly of what traditions deem as Great Devourer or Beast, be it represented as a Serpent, Dragon, Wolf o whatever has teeth and bad temper.

The dense matter in which we move squeezes us like a Boa constrictor, ruled by the energy that lust for receiving without measure, and if it gives, it´s only to claim it back with interests, as our Stepmother Nature does, so generous and so cruel, depending on the circumstances. In this physical level all is measured and weighted in accord to the law of eye for eye and tooth for tooth (Exodus 21:24).

And as we can observe in today´s world, saving a few exceptions, both art, religion and science have degenerated into all possible forms of idolatry: cult of images, cult of the body, of physical richness, commercialization of violence with wars, bloody movies, politic-religious discussions, war against diseases that have been caused by unnatural alterations (pollution, pesticides, transgenic crops, hybrid fruits, illegitimate physical mutilations, etc).

Many keep wondering why so much disgrace take place. And the answer is rather simple.

First of all, the Beast does not like anything or nobody escapes from its stomach; it is even possible to lose one´s soul trying to escape, as it´s actually happening to human beings since the Fall.

Mechanisms of counter-evolution keep humanity in a state of daydream, within a Net or Maya of Delusion, even making us think that we make progress, that we wake up or are safe just by believing blindly in salvific idols, in evolution by means of reincarnations and other false promises.

It´s an old truth that was again exemplified in the movie Matrix (1999), and even more specifically in Dark City (1998), which shows quite a likely scenario where humans are implanted "false memories" that make them experience a succession of fiction lives, without remembering any of them. Living would be like being a taxi driver, then go to bed and wake up the following morning as a newspaper seller, while consciousness remains unable to establish a connection and a "dark void" feeds on our dreams and passions, in an artificial world, the one in which we often vegetate.

Something similar can be deduced from the judeo-christian Sacred Scriptures and the Bhagavad Gita, both of which lead to conclude that what reincarnates is not the individual person, but underdeveloped divine seeds and the unrectified fragments of the psychic soul that must serve as a vehicle for divine consciousness, but which unfortunately gets corrupt with vicious psycho-carnal habits that are recycled from generation to generation, bringing more pain and death:

A generation goes, and a generation comes...What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun...There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after (Ecclesiastes 1:4-11 ESV).

it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgement (Hebrews 9:27 ESV).

It´s mostly a repetition of pain, vice and physic-animic death. Quite a sad condition for a being with so much potential. 

Hence it makes sense to speak of the salvation of the soul:

Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls (James/Jacob 1:21 ESV).

By your endurance you will gain your lives (Luke 21:19 ESV).

The personal psychic soul is instinctive-emotional basically and it represents a succulent dish, being a combination of energies that no other species can provide.

And such personal soul only begins to be rescued when it remains attached to the divine consciousness or mental soul known in Hebrew as breath or halite (neshemah). Otherwise, the personal soul ends up decomposed and recycled, while the divine breath returns to its source after psycho-physical death (see Ecclesiastes 12:6-7).

However, if both parts are fused together inside a physical body, they can turn the human being into "image of the Creator".

Only the acute and loving light of consciousness can rectify all soul parts little by little, getting rid of twisted emotions and thoughts.

By feeding on the light that grows with understanding, not only the vital spirit and divine breath get saved, but also the "personal imprint" that offers a unique path of understanding.

This is the reason why the conventional ideas on free salvation by mere belief, or a safe evolutive reincarnation, are a scam that only feed daydreaming. Hence they never bring visible results, leaving humans in a state of infancy.

Nothing can be attained without true understanding, which is the food of Being.

And such understanding starts by identifying in our daily lives the repetitive circle of vicious darkness, which, by the way, does not make the Serpent of Time less divine, but opposite to the positive pole of the Highest One, whose Will is to give Light, not to steal it or receive it.

The Law-Instruction or Torah teaches that by showing that the Limitless Being is Holy, Kadosh, which in Hebrew means "set aside" from darkness:

for it is written: Be holy, because I am holy (1 Peter 1:16, Leviticus 11:44)

What´s even more, it specifies the One is thrice holy:

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of his glory! (Isaiah 6:3).

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty, who was, and is and is to come! (Revelation 4:8).

This makes us think in the famous hesicast prayer:

God Holy, God Strong, God Immortal,

Have mercy on us.

All of which contains a secret that deserves great attention:

By the act of stepping aside from darkness, the Supreme generates a "sucking void", which is the voracious wish for receiving Light.

At that point, Light and Darkness separate, opening duality. Thus, One creates the paradox of Two:

I am the Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God...I form the light and create darkness (Isaiah 45:5-7).

The kabalist Isaac Luria expressed it very beautifully by saying that the Boundless Being (Ayn Sof) enters in contraction (tzimtzum), in order to open the womb where its Light can be received and shared.

If Light and Darkness remained forever separated, this would generate a conflict and tension that would destroy the very same Being. Hence not all ends up here.

There must be a Creation where Light and Darkness come together, in the same way the positive and negative pole are joined by means of a "resistor" so that there can be more light.

The Serpent is the fragmentation of reality propelled by the Void, and it introduces the negative element of Creation, generating an Abyss of overwhelming Imagination where the opposites (light-darkness, life-death, pleasure-pain, etc) give way to the illusion universally known as Maya.

Within the hearts of all living beings, resides the Supreme Lord, Oh Arjuna and by the potency of the illusory energy orchestrates the movements of all living entities like figurines on a carousel (Bhagavad Gita XVIII:61).

Presiding over my external potency the material energy, I generate again and again all these innumerable living entities, in accordance to the implication of their material natures. Oh Arjuna, these universal activities never bind me; I am situated neutrally and unattached to all these activities (Bhagavad Gita IX:9).

And such a divine Maya machine can only be overcome by an Intelligence that is so wise, holy and powerful as the Infinite Being, but also as a strong and sly as the Serpent itself.

Krishna and Buddha dominating the Serpent Kali

It does´t seem a coincidence either that in Judeo-Christianity that Mediating Intelligence receives the name of Mashiaj/Messiah, whose numeric value is that of the Serpent (Najash;ShJN=358), what indicates they have the same potential:

Between the Boundless Being and the Void, between the All and Nothing, there emerges the Tree of Life or Primordial Adam, whose first sphere or Crown (Keter) engenders the Divine Mind-Heart, which is the union of Wisdom (Jokmaj) and Understanding (Binah), right and left brain hemispheres.

Curiously, in one of its permutations, Mashiaj can be read as yesh moaj, "there is brain", namely, "there is understanding", which is realized in the Kingdom (Malkut), extended all over the earth, even though many don´t see it.

Without Understanding, there cannot be Wisdom, and therefore, no Love either, which implies sharing Light.

This is how the first Triad of the Tree of Life understands and neutralizes all duality, being the first Divine Manifestation.

By contrast, in the Genesis tale, the Serpent is linked to the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, that is, a partial vision that sets the conflict between good and evil, pleasure and pain, light and darkness.

Actually, Knowledge (Daath) is the breach between Understanding and Wisdom, or the split between left and right brain hemispheres.

Knowledge without Understanding is precisely what led to the Fall of the cherub Lucifer, which tried to receive maximum Light without waiting nor listening to the humble voice of the Divine Mind.

And if we pay attention, we will see that this breach and dual vision dominates the superficial level of art, science and religion, whose followers and leaders keep attacking and demonizing what they don´t understand, since they remain under the dominion of the Serpent.

It´s therefore clear what remains to be done: making efforts to acquire understanding, and thus be able to receive Light and illumine the world with it. On the contrary, we will be feeding the Serpent, even if it seems the opposite.

Once the human being is connected to the Divine Mind and becomes again "trinitarian image or manifestation of the Creator", the Beast is completely neutralized by the invisible third force of Will, feeding back the Source, whose richness never gets depleted.

Very few have been able to unite the three forces in themselves bringing together body, soul and spirit. But without doubt, a clear paradigm of such deed is Yeshua, whose teaching shows all the aspects of the Divine Law.

Becoming the carnal expression of Divine Mind-Heart is undoubtedly what Paul meant by saying that Yeshua is the "image of the invisible God, first born of all creation" (Col 1:15). What is equivalent to deem him as incarnation of the Primordial Adam or Son of Man described in Daniel 7; the Divine Soul of Humanity that descends to rescue the evolving soul of the fallen Adam, which in the Gita appears as Arjuna.

And we should not forget that each one is called to be a mini Arjuna or evolving soul, since each human soul is an atom of the Great Adam, the Soul of Humanity which burst into millions of sparks when adopting the wish of the Serpent, as numerous Scriptures recall.

Failing to understand this, led many to believe that Yeshua/Jesus is God the Highest and that his images must be adored as any other external idol.

Unfortunately, this neutralizes the transformative effect that the Mashiaj/Christ must have inside each one, since such vision keeps the split between "outer" and "inner", and thus between Knowledge and Understanding.

How then can one avoid being devoured by the dualistic view of the Serpent?

By means of a humble unitary vision that crushes her head:

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heal (Genesis 3:15).

A goddess piercing the serpent´s head, beside Krishna, who also crushes her head and bends her, turning Time on itself. 

When the dualistic center of pride and selfish passions ceases, who is left to be hurt and devoured by them?

The human being can´t be divine image if it´s not by becoming a "transparent vehicle" for the Divine Mind:

I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgement is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me (John 5:30).

If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me (Luke 9:23).

Oh Arjuna, this world is bound by actions except for actions sacrificed unto the Supreme Lord; being free from attachment perfectly engaged in actions for the purpose of sacrifice (Bhagavad Gita III:9).

Oh Arjuna, offering sacrifice in [self] knowledge is superior to offering sacrifice of material possessions; oh subduer of enemies, all furtive activities come to an end entirely by [self] knowledge...know that with [self] knowledge you will never be subjected to an illusion like this again; you will perceive all living entities in the soul and then in Me (Bhagavad Gita IV:33-35).

Thou shall love thy neighbor as "thy Self". I am the Lord (Leviticus 19:18).

Knowledge with Understanding of Life is truly Self-Knowledge, which implies the sacrifice of the tyrannical egoism in order to share Light.

By seeing life as a mirror and emptying ourselves from of divisive tendency, we perceive from the Eye of Unity:

The Eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your Eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light (Matthew 6:22).

Oh Arjuna, conqueror of sleep, behold at once the whole universe of moving and stationary beings situated in only one part in this body of mine and whatever else you wish to see. But with these present eyes of yours you will not be able to see Me; so I grant you divine sight; behold the omnipotent majesty of my ultimate transcendental power (Bhagavad Gita XI:7-8).

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11:30).

Concentrate the mind upon me, apply spiritual intelligence for Me; verily you will reside with Me after this existence without doubt (Bhagavad Gita XII:8).

Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool (Psalm 110:1).

This does not mean desires and pains disappear from life. The exigences and daily challenges proceed. But nothing is seen in the same way. After all, what acts is the Maya of the world, while Being remains "holy":

Anyone who perceives the Ultimate Consciousness residing equally in all living entities everywhere as the imperishable within the perishable, such a one actually perceives...one does not degrade the embodied self by the self; therefore reaching the supreme goal. Anyone who perceives in this way that activities in all respects are being performed only by the material energy, such a one perceives perfectly the embodied Self and the non-doer (Bhagavad Gita XIII:28-30).

The key is being able to live without attachment to the fruits of action, feeling each moment fully:


Surrendering completely all activities unto Me, with consciousness firmly established in knowledge of the Self being without any desire for gain, free from proprietorship, fight without grief (Bhagavad Gita III:30).

Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things [you need] will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).

When there is detachment, life is seen with Gratitud and the Great Peace arrives in the most unexpected moments. Then one can be sure who´s the window of the Eternal One.

Oh Krishna, greatest of all personalities, origin of all origins, Lord of all beings, Lord of all gods, Lord of the Universe, only you personally know yourself by yourself (Bhagavad Gita 10:15).

Now I know in part, then shall I know fully, even as I have been fully known (1 Corinthians 13:12).

Oh Arjuna, I am the Ultimate Consciousness situated within the heart of all living entities and I am the beginning, the middle and the end, as well of all living entities (Bhagavad Gita X:20).


I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8).

And Omega cannot be other than the Omega of Understanding, something akin to what the visionary Teilhard de Chardin deemed as the Omega point or "tipping point of humanity", when a critical mass of humans find the divine within.

Omega seems really when all the evolving human souls that integrate the Soul of Humanity, are finally gathered back by its Head, be it called Mashiaj, Christ, or Krishna if you prefer. 

Such is the conquest of Eternity, over Time and Death.

Nothing feeds our spirit and soul more than understanding the Tree of Life by means of the Key of Knowledge (Luke 11:52), of which all divine messengers spoke.

Nevertheless, necessary is also to see what the Divine Instruction has to say concerning the food for the body.


And since the official birth of Yeshua is celebrated in Autumn, during Sukkot, as the Gospels specify–contradicting the pagan tradition–, let´s use this date to clarify several points in that regard, for Sukkot is a feast where food plays a great role.

Then, if nothing gets on the way, on 15-16 of October we´ll continue with this exposition.

Conscious Feeding 1: The Great Devourer

Arjuna said:

What is it that incites one to commit sinful acts even against one´s will as if compelled by force?

Lord Krishna said:

It is the anxious lust which becomes anger arising from the mode of passion [guna rajas]; know this lust is the Great Devourer [mâhâ-ashanah ]; the Great Sinful One [mâha-pâpmâ] and the greatest enemy in this world.
–Bagavad Gita Ch III, 36-37

Saturn devouring his sons

Goya

And the Great Dragon was thrown down, that ancient Serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the world–he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him–Revelation 12:9 ESV

For those who no longer conform themselves with simple tales for kids, nor kindergarden religious readings, we´ll say this famous universal Serpent known in mythologies as Apep, Zurvan, Satan, Kundalini, Ouroboros, Saturn, Kronos and so many other names, is none other than the hypnotic and overwhelming energy that keeps the Illusion of Temporal Existence, and which originates in the Divine Mind.

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord [Yhwh] and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head –Job 2:7, ESV

Such energy is insatiable; never has enough; always wanting more and more, desiring even to devour the Dwelling of the Supreme, as myths say.

It is the Nothingness in the Never Ending Story, whose movie made us dream in the 80´s.

Many remember perhaps the famous Awryn symbol on the cover of the book read by Bastian.

Now, as soon as we become naïve, believing we understand such energy of the void, she devours us with her confusing whirlpools of colorful perceptions, since it is not a mere desire–which alone is harmless–, but an overflowing and voracious Unconscious Imagination that gives a distorted view of reality and thus illegitimate and exaggerate desires in relation to it.

This energy is present in all aspects of life: the selfish wish for survival, the anxious eating without control, sexual lust, the talking mind, the sorrow of death, the wish for power and domination...

We see it in Nature, in science and its pretense of progress, in vanity art, in wild commerce, in old recycled politics...


In reality kundalini is the power of imagination that takes, the power of fantasy, which takes the place of a real function. When a man dreams instead of acting, when his dreams take the place of reality, when a man imagines himself to be an eagle [i.e over-dreaming], a lion [i.e in rage] or a magician [i.e manipulator], it is the force of kundalini acting on him –Gurdjieff, quoted by Ouspensky in Fragments of an Unknown Teaching.

Since this energy is in everything, alchemists referred to it as Hen To Pan, One All:

European alchemy

                                         Zen Art

Aztec art                                                Crop circle

                                   

Of course, it is not a coincidence that the artistic managers of the Particle Accelerator Institute, CERN, have chosen these symbols associated to such energy:

Dance of Shiva within the Serpent Kaliya

CERN Installations, Switzerland

Pagan god Cernunnos

Baphomet Eliphas Levi

God Pan

CERN Logo

This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666–Revelation 13:18 ESV


While in Judeochristian tradition the number 666 has those suggestive connotations, in quantum physics it can be seen as the composition of living matter, since the Carbon atom is comprised of 6 Neutrons, 6 Protons and 6 Electrons.

Is it not dense matter what constrains us?

As light beings, how did we end up in the mud?

Adam, Eve and the Serpent. William Blake

It´s time now to establish some connections with the famous Adam and Eve myth.

Obviously, Adam and Eve were not really a man and a woman running naked on a garden called Eden, tempted by a talking serpent that caused their expulsion from the place. 

In synthesis we can say that the unified –but still immature– Consciousness of humanity, called Adam, existed in a higher realm and state of being called Edem, from which the exploration of dense matter regions was possible, in the Garden.

Hebrew tradition affirms that the first Man or Adam ha Ritzon formed in the Garden of Eden, could still see the entire universe from coast to coast, and was able to move through several dimensions.

But when this humanity called Adam mixed with gross matter in the lower part of the Garden, they turned their attention from their divine consciousness (Yhwh Elohym), and became subject to the electric forces of the so-called Semi-Maker or Demiurge, simply Elohym in Hebrew, which is none other  than the intelligent forces of stars and planets. Hence the word Elohym is equivalent to Ha Teba, Nature (gematria =86).

The intelligences of Nature are mechanical, that is, they lack free will. The sun, moon, stars and planets and their souls only obey higher orders, or respond to lower demands, as the selfish desires of humanity.

Milky Way and Ouroborous

And the stellar electric dynamism of Elohym made  impossible hold the state of consciousness known as Eden. A fact that´s also told in the Popul Vu or Mayan Bible, as well as other ancient texts.

The mythical tales, such as the Symposium of Plato or the Genesis account, symbolize the first human as an androgynous being, man and woman at the same time.

And God [Elohym] created man [humankind] in his own image; in the image of God created he them [humans]; male and female created he them–Genesis 1:27


At this point Eve had not been separated yet from Adam´s side. Adam was a humanity that did not use physical bodies and whose consciousness was far superior to that of the dressed hominoid some call "human" today.

And as we have seen, ancient teachings use different mythological characters referring to different levels of Being.

In the case of Genesis 2, Yhwh Elohym alludes to Adam´s higher consciousness; the Adam formed out of the dust of subtle earth, adamah, is the mind; Eve is the vital-emotional nature, and the Serpent is the wish to be like God and have more than corresponded to their level of maturity.

For God knows that when you eat of it [Tree of Knowledge] your eyes shall be open, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil–Genesis 3:5

In spite of being mini gods –image of Ywhw Elohym–, adamic humans wished to be and know more without understanding.

Moved by an illegitimate desire, the "lower soul" (Eve) mixed too soon with physical reality, getting trapped in corrupt bodies infused with serpentine desires, giving as a result a horrible mixture of animalily and rationality known as Cain and Lucifer.

This sheds light on famous passages, as that of Isaiah 14, which speaks of the sons of the dawn –which St.Jerome called Lucifer–, who ended up inhabiting the earth in the form of tyrants, such as the king of Babylon:

How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn!How you are cut down to the ground,you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven;  above the stars of God I will set my throne on  high...I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you  are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit–Isaiah 14:12-15 ESV

In Ezekiel 28 and 31 we are told Lucifer inhabited Eden, clothed with precious ornaments, walking on stones of fire  [stars? planets?], as a guardian or protector whose pride led  him...to the world below, among the children of man, with  those who go down to the pit ...ending up incarnated in characters such as the pharaoh.

Similar accounts are found in Greek poets who speak of Epimetheus, who, disobeying his wiser brother Prometheus (higher mind), accepted the gift of Pandora, sent by Zeus [i.e Elohym], a large vase or pithos –reminiscent of pyhtos, serpent– from which came all curses of humanity after opening it.

Pandora means "all gifts", since in this electric universe of the senses –represented by Cernunnos and the god Pan–, is full of "gifts" that can easily turn into "curses" when one has incorporated the Evil Eye that cannot understand the indivisibility of good and bad, pleasure and pain, light and darkness.

And if your eye causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes be thrown into the hell of fire –Matthew 18:9


Descent into physical matter was only meant for the last day of Creation, the Shabat or Rest, when humanity is already a perfect vessel for divine consciousness, when all is in unity.

Reason why we must understand that free will must include the chance to fall, for how could one value unity without experiencing division first? 


And the fifth angel blew his trumpet and I saw a star fallen from heaven and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit –Revelation 9

Humanity became trapped by the raw energy of the Serpent-Time that dwells in the bottomless well known as chasm–where we are right now, by the way. 

Very few enjoy acknowledging it, and then make up fantasies, including the conspiracies of demons and extraterrestrials.


Yet the only conspiracy is self-enslavement, by loving ignorance and suffering, the passional and unconditional subscription to the insatiable energy of wishing more and more: all for me, which I deserve it.


Nevertheless, this energy hides the greatest of secrets, since it expresses itself as two diametrically opposite but inseparable ways.

In the same way there is no Out-breath without In-breath, Light without Darkness, Magnetism without Electricity, there is not Creator without Destroyer, Love without Hate, Illumination without Ignorance, and of course, no Christ without Lucifer, whom Paul called, respectively, last and first Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45).

The old wise Heraclitus said the way up and the way down are one and the same. 

Therefore, there is only one way to defeat the serpent, which is turning it against itself, by using the same devouring mechanism, finding a "third force" beyond duality. Eating it up or being eaten by it. There is no other way out of Time.

This is the strategy used by the Creator, repeated by mythic heroes and Messiahs, showing us the Way to the Great Peace, the timeless reality that surrounds us.

But let´s leave these secrets for the next part.
