To
recap briefly, Jesus/Yahshua showed and proved the Way of unification
to be followed by every potential human that wants to manifest the full
spiritual nature of Adam (body, soul and spirit) and thus become
fully Human, which is divine as member of the Unique Beloved Son.
For
you [children of Light]
are the body of Christ and partial members (1 Corinthians 12:27)
The
human body has an immense potential to receive a finer Loving
Intelligence, but today humanity is fallen.
Before
the fall, Adam was perfect image of the Eternal One´s main Name (YHWH)
and participated from a spark of his Heart-Spirit, meant to rule over
beasts of the earth and the air within himself (Genesis 1).
In
that sense Paul says that we
have the mind [noûs] of Massiah-Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16)
Unfortunately,
due to a poor education, feature of the dark ages of the past two
thousand years, this message was massively perverted and manipulated,
leading many to think that blind belief without experience and inner
development, leads to manifest such Mind, keeping one safe from the
dark, because, as Jesus Christ did it all...
This
raises the question, why is there so much fear, hatred, division and
internal disorders of all kinds in the 35,000 different denominations
supposedly based on Christian faith?
Why
was the first Nazarene Congreagtion and its Katholic Pauline branch
was more cohesive at least before the year 135? What is missing
today?
Faith
without works is dead (James 2:17)
Put
on the new man,
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness
(Ephesians 4:24)
If
only one person from each of the 35,000 Christian denominations
manifested fully the Mind-Heart of the New Man, now there would be
less than half darkness and division in the world.
But
social chaos shows that "humans" barely grow, remaining
what prophets and apostles called the animal
man –hominoid
according to anthropologists–, which does not embody the spiritual
soul and prefers to content himself with a naked body animated by the
lower three levels of the soul: vital, emotional and intellectual, of
which he is a slave, precisely because of the lack of connection with
the Spirit/Will that governs everything.
And
things only God knows the Spirit of God...the natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him
and he can not understand them (1 Corinthians 2: 11-14)
That
is the reason why the mystics were and are labeled as crazy or
possessed by the devil.
The
more carnal or naked the potential human is, the less he understands
the importance of self-study, meditation, prayer, contemplation and
the cleanse of everything animal within himself, for the same inner
darkness is afraid that the true Light shines and takes over its
seat.
And
where there is fear and division, the Light of Truth and the New
Human cannot shine.
The
Kingdom of God is already available; transform
your mind
(metanoeite) and have faith in the good news (Mark 1:15)
Isn´t
this exhortation more inspiring than those awful translations which
say Repent!
and believe the Gospel?
Even
Paul taught:
I therefore beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present
your bodies as a living, holy sacrifice, pleasing to God; this is
your worship service; that do not conform to this (dark) age [aiôn],
but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is the will of God, good, acceptable and
perfect (Romans 12: 1-2)
And
the way to this is not a personal titanic effort, nor agitation in
worship, nor shouting Hallelujah, nor screaming like a preacher, or
repeating words like parrots...
Only
the spirit that wills behind the soul can renew the human, when the
latter offers no resistance and lets such spirit enter a quiet mind
and heart.
Not
all who say Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he
who does the will of my Father who is in heaven
(Matthew 7:21)
Obviously,
he was referring to the mitzvoth or commandments –better say
callings– of the Torah-Instruction, based on the ten principles of Exodus 20, and their spiritual meaning, not carnal.
The
mitzvoth can be with regard to the Divine and with regard to other
humans, as Jesus/Yahshua did by quoting Deuteronomy 6: 4-5 and
Leviticus 19:18: love
the Eternal One with thy whole being above all things and thy
neighbour as yourself, i.e,
as part of the Only Son, the Logos.
The
Spirit transforms the "potentially human" by making him
able to love consciously, having real compassion for other parts of himself, and thus be able to
complete the commandments-callings (mitzvoth), reestablishing the
connections of the vital-emotional soul with physical the body, higher mind and spirit/will. Mitzvah also means connection.
The
way the Spirit reconnects the human to Light, Truth and Light, is by
means of the Word, not only that of the Scriptures–which are
certainly a complete spiritual manual for those who do not throw into
the water closet the
Key of Knowledge/Consciousness (Luke 11:52).
This
Key was also known as Torah
ha Sod
(Secret
Instruction)
and Jokmah
Nishtar
(Hidden
Wisdom),
the title that Paul of Tarsus used in 1 Corinthians 2: 6-7.
Although
today it is Revealed Wisdom, as it is available to everyone.
And
as it was added in the previous article, despite it was not yet known
completely, this Key was crucial to reunite Judaism,
Christianity and Islam in the Middle Ages, for the only time in
history.
This
proves that without such Key, the Bible, including the New Testament,
is not only incomprehensible, but also very dangerous. Despite the
Word purifies like water (Ephesians 5:26), it also destroys by
separating soul and spirit when used by impure hearts that do not
embody it (Hebrews 4:12).
Faith
comes from listening, and listening by the Word of Christ/Massiah
(Romans 10:17)
It
is therefore necessary to clean mind and ears in order to receive the
Spirit and partake of a Mind-Heart of higher order.
Do
you not know that your
body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who
is in you and that you have received it from God? (1 Corinthians
6:19)
In
the ancient Teaching, the Holy Spirit was not so much a person but
the manifestation of Divine Light of the body of Christ/ Massiah
through human soul and actions:
there are varieties of gifts but the Spirit is the same (1
Corinthians 12: 4).
Yet
the Holy Spirit alone does not save, for it does not require mind
shift:
For
the gifts and calling of God are without repentance– Romans 11:29
On
the contrary, when one lives by considering the body as a temple to
be cared and cleaned, the
seven spheres of the Spirit
spiritualize it, harmonizing body and soul (vital, emotional and
mental), saving us from depression, phobias, medications and
unnecessary doctor visits.
The
harmonized body is not in conflict with the soul nor the spirit,
because the body is nothing but condensed Mother Light. Matter is
light-energy, confirms current science. Space, time and vacuum are
pure illusion, everything is full of light:
The
lamp of your body is your eye (of the Heart); when your eye is
healthy, your whole body is full of light; but when it is bad, your
body also is full of darkness (Luke 11:34)
By
uniting body, soul and
spirit/will-intelligence, one can begin to understand why one is
living on a planet and thus acquire a good
wedding dress
(mature spiritual soul), without which one cannot enter the Celestial
Nuptials (Mt 22: 11-14 ).
Having
acquired the necessary understanding, the Sons of Light can marry the
highest spirit within, also called Lord of the soul:
And
the day will come, says the Lord, when you shall call me Husband and
no Master (Hosea 2:16)
For
just as a young man marries a maiden, so your sons will marry you;
and just as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will
rejoice over you (Isaiah 62: 5)
That
is the reason why Yahshua and the apostles handed down that the
Congregation (Church) would form a New Jerusalem, which would became
the bride/vessel of the Lord (Revelation 21: 2).
Yet
they did not refer to stone churches nor fleshy ones, but to the Sons
of Light Congregation, which is invisible to the animal human.
And
there shall in no way enter into it anything that defiles, neither
whatsoever works abomination, or makes a lie: but they who are
written in the Lamb's book of life (Revelation 21:27)
And
of course, the sacred marriage is not the loss of individuality in a
nirvanic extinction, which would still force the immature atom of
spirit to return, because of an undone homework.
The
human must understand why he lives, otherwise his divine spiritual
essence repeats course.
With
patience you shall gain your soul (Luke 21:19)
Winning
the mature spiritual soul, with her Christic mind, takes time. But
one can achieve it in a lifetime if one understands that it is
possible and lives in the light.
Not
being able to understand these mystical ideas, literal minds rejected
the first Torah/Instruction that Moses had to destroy (Exodus 32: 15-19), and in
the end many had to eat a Torah encoded in stone, doing animal
sacrifices in the temple, not realizing that the animals to be
sacrificed are animal passions: pride, anger, greed, jealousy, sexual
inmorality, sloth, envy ...
To
what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? says the
Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed
beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or
of male goats. (Isaiah 1:11)
Only
when the inner beasts are slaughtered:
The
wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the young goat (Isaiah 11: 6)
And
the new human will have done its homework, without the need to repeat
course on earth.
Simon
Peter was not exaggerating when he said:
For
it should suffice us that during the time past of our life we had
done the will of the gentiles, when we conversed in lasciviousness,
lusts, drunkenness, gluttony, orgies, and abominable idolatries (1st
Epistle of Peter 4:3)
And
it´s worth recalling the condition laid down by the apostle Jacob
(James) to non-Jewish Christians:
to abstain from the pollution of idols (i.e meat sacrificed),
fornication, blood and from things strangled (i.e animals suffering
violent death) (Acts 15:20)
Supposedly,
these were words of the first chief of the Nazarene Church, which was
condemned not only by sectarian Judaism of the Pharisees and
Sadducees, but by rabbinical Judaism that endures to this day since
the reform of Yohanan ben Zakai (70 AD), who introduced the famous
nineteenth blessing or Birkat ha Minim, curse against Nazarenes and
Gentiles prayed in synagogues.
Such
rabbinical Judaism lies emphases on kosher (pure) food, the
Sabbath and circumcision in accord to the Torah, like the
Nazarenes–with a few differences. Unfortunately, it then condemns
the non-Jew and organises banquets that are not exactly demure, what
keeps the carnal mind active.
Even
more curious is to find out that most of post-Nicene (IV century)
christianities do virtually the same, but throwing away the whole Law
of the Torah, even with the clarifications of the Master and his
disciples concerning idol worshiping and other issues. All form of
idolatry, including estatues or images of the divine, were excluded
even by Paul in Romans 1.
Everything
starts with light interpretations of Scripture, since the animal ego
wishes to be in charge even with the spiritual.
Thus,
some see in the words of Paul, an open letter to do, believe and cut
at ease:
So
you also my brethren, have died to the Law through the body of Christ
(Romans 7:4)
This
does not cancel the Law of the Torah, but simply means the Law can
only be fulfilled when one participates in the Life, Light and
Truth, having access to the Heart-Mind of Massiah-Christ, leaving
behind the appetites and habits of the animal man:
the
finality (telos) of the Law is Christ-Massiah (Romans 10:4)
Other
passages used as counter-justification are:
But
food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do
not eat, nor the better if we do eat (1 Corinthians 8: 8)
Which
is true and does not contradict the Instruction-Torah.
Whatsoever
is sold in the meat market, that eat, asking no question for
conscience's sake:For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness
thereof.
–in
XXIst century that would be almost suicidal–...
Whether
therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the
glory of God. Give
none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the
church of God: Even
as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the
profit of many, that they may be saved. (1 Cor 10: 25-33)
This
must be understood in context, since Paul was answering specific
questions raised by certain communities and his aim was to do it
without violating the Torah. And obviously, Paul didn´t want to
create ideological sectarianism by means of food issues. He is not
justifying a binge, but making clear no one should offend or condemn
those who do not follow the Word, for these do not have to keep
commandments such as not eating pork, shellfish and other impure
animals.
That
is not a denial of the Word of the Torah, but rather an affirmation
of it: love thy neighbor.
A
different issue is the fact that there is no way to escape from the
divine laws that govern the functioning of Spirit, and therefore, if
one ignores them, might acquire spiritual debt (jub), which is
manifested in terms of illness and other ailments.
we
do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith,
I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the
truth is not in him (1 John 2:3-4)
He
who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He
walked" (1 John 2:6)
Even
Jesus/Yahshua reassured the commandments many times:
Think
not that I am come to destroy the Law (Torah), or the prophets: I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfill (Matthew 5:17)
And
it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the Law
(Torah) to fail (Luke 16:16-17)
Certainly,
the Master said:
What
goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of
their mouth (Matthew 15:11)
But
here he is simply refuting the pharisaic accusation about the fact
his disciples did not wash their hands before eating; a habit which
is not in the Torah and belongs to "traditions of men",
regardless of its appropriateness.
Curiously,
neither Jesus/Yahshua nor his disciples ate blood, pork or even meat
allowed by the Torah, such as lamb, nor drank alcohol or grape
juices, because they were not only hebrews, but lived under Nazarite
vow (Numbers 6), as it can be deduced from Hebrew remarks in the
Gospel as well as texts about Jacob and Peter.
Thus
they regained the Edenic state of Adam, whose food is indicated in
Genesis 1:29:
See,
I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of
all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it
shall be for food.
To
them we could attribute the words of St. Francis of Assisi:
The
aniamles are my friends and I do not eat my friends.
This
diet has to do with inner transformation as well. There are foods and
drinks whose energy charge is an obstacle, especially pork and the
blood, which contains the emotional energy of the animal, and enter
the body, contaminating it.
Anyone
with experience in the inner path knows how heavy the body feels with
certain foods, which makes the internal work very hard, specially
when it´s time to meditate, pray or aspire to contemplation in order
to feel fully the Love of the Spirit.
Eating
chicken, turkey or fish with scales occasionally will not hurt
anyone, provided they are not contaminated by industrial production
sea or toxins, such as mercury stored by large blue fish such as tuna
or sword-fish.
Meats
are generally too heavy and extremely harmful today, not only because
of the cruelty with which animals are slaughtered in mass, but
because of the additives and antibiotics used to treat animals.
On
the contrary, seeds (lentils, brown rice, millet, chickpeas...),
fruits and vegetables (lettuce, endive, tomato, onion ...) have
always been the diet of the great mystics, as well as the healthier
and long-lived people, such as the Himalayan tribe of Hunza. And that
can´t be a coincidence.
Anyone
who´s been some time experiencing a renewal process, knows that
there comes a point in which the body does not ask for meat, even if
it is kosher and looks very appetizing, with potatoes and abudant
sauce.
Feeling
hungry?
However,
food is only part of the interior renewal. One should learnt how
to master the mind and emotions, and there is no other way than by
knowing the Spirit of the Great Mind. But that, for the culmination
of the Solstice.
