OOPS- sorry...should have read: Of all the Christian documents, this one has been most MISUNDERSTOOD. Of course, the rest of this post confirms the intended meaning, however, we must show reverence towards the Truth.

Welcome to Spiritual Evolution! / The Mystery of Golgotha
February 02, 2003, 17:49:13
Adrian- thanks, again.
The Mystery of Gogotha is the nugget, the pearl, the crux of Christianity. Anyone who chooses to read this article for understanding will truly know what Christianity is. Everything else is built around this Mystery.
All the best!

EnderWiggin-
I was just reading you last response and something caught my eye..."I have returned to the path of Christianity by the strategy you have to raise your spirituality." In addition, I noticed that you were collecting Wisdom from whence it came. Well, my friend, you are now on the right path!
Personally, I hit a period where Christianity didn't make any sense without reincarnation. Reincarnation is a key to understanding it all- extremely important!! Some sects will point at a literal translation and tell me that I'm doomed, etc... That's just because they have their VEIL on (i.e. can't see, ergo, nobody else should be able to). However, I beg to differ- you reap what you sow. The truth that we come back repeatedly to work on the same (I/ego; the "I AM" that God reminds us of) is that one "life" that we get, NOT the bod. The body goes back to the earth; the silver cord (that one sees in the astral is cut). Most people don't realize that disease is casued by unbalance in their current life and/or an unbalance from past lives. For example, the great plagues in Europe were attribuable to the bad karma of those from Atlantis (i.e. The Great Flood).
I wish you great success in your development! May you have wonderful thoughts of to do.

Tisha,
The key to learning in this arena is INTEREST, WONDER, and AMAZEMENT. When one is filled with these attributes, one does not require a teacher.
Finding a teacher who understands that the function is to GIVE what they have and NOT tell you what they know, is sometimes more challenging than the subject matter.
As long as you are interested in something; wonder about it; and are amazed at what you are assimilating- you'll learn! Having a balanced plan (i.e. subject matter, time, etc...) is key to continuous progress.
It's a lot like playing a musical instrument...at first you can't play anything, so you just practice what you know with the knowledge that you're doing it. The more you practice; the better you get.
I hope this helps.

Welcome to Spiritual Evolution! / A question about Catholosism(sp?).....
February 02, 2003, 04:33:37
Adrian,
YOU AGAIN? (just joking) Kindred spirits? Methinks.
If one goes back into history, one eventually loses all historical records of the concept of Hell. In fact, the Atlanteans knew nothing of it and there were no records of it! I believe that it was the Hindu religions that first introduced the concept by adding to what had been passed to them from the Atlanteans after the great Atlantean flood (i.e. Genesis). By adding this "concept," people were controlled and exploited (i.e. monetarily; services). Everyone else coppied this "formula." There are no records of "Hell" in any civilization before this.
The Roman Empire had to do something after the death of Christ so they formed a HIERARCHY to control it- and did they ever!
The only ones that Jesus showed disfavor with was the Priests who were intentionally misrepresenting the truth- biblical fact. These same priests began persecuting Him right after He performed the raising of Lazuruth which was a revelation of the Mysteries. It was for THIS reason His persecutions began. Ultimately, His death was an even greater revelation of the Mysteries! His death is not explained in accordance with the Mysteries. Instead, his teachings were highlighted. Once again, it was His death that was significant, not the teachings! This is why Christ mentions that people will claim to know him and He will turn them away. This line is unsettling to those who only coin historical references. (by design?)
If anyone out there wants to know WHO CHRIST IS, read my post entitled, "The Mystery of Golgotha." I posted it up there so that you may know...because I love you all.

Adrian,
Thanks for your kind words. Everything that happns in the physical world is a reflection of what happens in the Spiritual World. Ergo, what you stated is spot on! This is a Spiritual fact and the underlying premise for Anthroposophy, which counteracts the forces that would not have us approach the Spiritual World.
One of the main problems with our world and humankind today is the IMBALANCE of materialism. Materialism in itself is not evil; it has a divine purpose. Our hearts are screaming for the Spiritual World whilst our heads are tuned to materialism. The result is a materialization of the Spiritual World. THIS IS INCORRECT! We must NOT materialize the Spiritual World. Instead, we must approach it and each other with reverence and wisdom.
Most people don't realize that they are part of the Spiritual World NOW. When they sleep each night, their astral body and I/ego leave their physical/etheric bodies behind and unconsciously get around. It would be an obvious inconsitency to claim that we don't belong in the Spiritual World until death. In consistency is the root of confusion...
We (the Human race) need to become active thinkers and NOT passive thinkers. The key to understanding and enlightenment is being able to trigger in oneself "wonder and amazement." What can possibly evoke these feelings greater than the Truth(s) of the cosmos? After all, we all want to know! It's not about smarts, it's about being interested. If one is interested, one will progress.
The disciplines required for actively pursuing the Spiritual World are analagous to learning a musical instrument. Everyone wants to play, but not everyone wants to follow the path.
We are hunamity. Our purpose is to be love, and give love to one another. However, we must learn what love is and be filled with it, before we can give it away.

Welcome to Spiritual Evolution! / interesting past life diagnosis for all people
February 02, 2003, 03:15:26
The results that I got were very close to my North Node (i.e. astrology method) in general terms. My North node claims that I'm supposed to be having fun in this life to balance all of the study, science, and spiritual matters from past lives.
I do not know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere around territory of modern Bulgaria approximately in 1575.
Your profession was teacher, mathematician, geologist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your brief psychological profile in that past life:
Inquisitive, inventive, liked to get to the very bottom of things and to rummage in books. Talent for drama, natural born actor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lesson, that your last past life brought to present:
There is the invisible connection between material and spiritual world. Your lesson - to search, to find and to use this bridge.

Welcome to Spiritual Evolution! / Evil = Ignorance?
February 02, 2003, 02:59:43
Gandalf- I agree wholeheartedly with you. Particularly about "fearing change," which makes absolutely no sense in the world of constant change! We have lost abilities that we once had; can no longer read the Truths of the universe through nature. You are absolutely correct- WE MUST GO TO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD!
Do you know what keeps people away? It's probably those few passages in the Bible that mention Astrology, numbers, geometry, etc... People believe that they should know NOTHING about the Spiritual World or they are damned because they can transpose that part (it's literal). Ask them same ones to tell you about the Mystery of Gogotha or interperet a parable and the conversation goes South.
I recogognize God's wisdom and love every tidbit, but I do NOT believe that God wanted us to avoid everything that reveals Himself to us! I couldn't understand the Bible, until I studdied sacred geometry, number, astrology, etc... NOW, I have a greater appreciation for all living things. FYI: that's called the POWER OF LOVE which is the essence of Jesus Christ. Go figure!
Gee, do you think that the fact that the RC curch had the Bible under lock and key from around 300 A.D. until 1749 contributed to this? After all, all their churches are aligned with the stars (i.e. astronomy/astrology) and their churchs incorporate every form of sacred geometry that one can find. (This must be the- WE can do it, but YOU cannot policy.)
Ignorance is, in fact, the veil.
Remember: Jesus Christ only showed His anger when dealing with the Hierarchies of the current churches. They had obscurred the Truth and practiced black magic...you'd think Atlantis would have taught us something?

The amount of information required to explain this kind of stuff is quite overwhelming. After all, who are we to demand that the Truth of the cosmos be made easy? Most people want the Truth to come to them passively. Instead, we must go to the Truth. To achieve that one must gather all the WISDOM one can find...and then some.
The "end" is not near. We will be on this planet for at least another 1500 years. We have a few planets to go after that, too.
What you are pointing at is partially true. More precisely, the earth is going through a huge re-structiong. Our current epoch will parallel the situation in Atlantis. This does not mean that you won't be back in any case, so lighten up. Remember: the living God gives life! (The interpretations that surround this great Truth attempt to diminish it.)
The way that sin affects someone when they pass through the gateway of death is: one will recapitulate one's life experiences in reverse order. This process requires 1/3 of a life span. People who sin with no regret will experience the physical and moral pains of their victim(s). One would experience them exactly as others who were involved experienced them. Hence, the advice that Christ gave about casting the first stone which would only create these situations for ourself.
Satan works in conjunction with Ahriman from the 8th sphere. But, why concentrate on them and allow them to keep you lower than the ground? Your soul can never be destroyed and God has more to give (life) that any one of us could comprehend. The only sad part here is the interruption of THIS (particular) life...don't give the devil his due. Karma works within a life and between lives, so use the time that you have to create the impetus for the next life while you hammer out that negative stuff from the past lives!
Be love and give love to each other...and don't worry about a thing.
When I'm deep down and out, with nothing left to say...it's then that I realize that it's only a condition of seeing things THAT way.
Never will our lights shine brighter than in times like this!

The word "universe" means: One Song. We are all separate notes and together we can make great music!
Who am I? I AM. (FYI: the I is exactly what we are develping in this current epoch so your instincts are right on!)
It's not the WHO that is important, it's the what. It's not important WHO gave; it's just important that someone gave.

Hi,
I am a former Marine; belong to societies (e.g. Rosicrucians); hope for peace and the evolution of mankind; AND I love you all!
In the Corps, I had been able to develop (and cultivate) a level of discipline and self-discipline that has been invaluable for esoteric training and spiritual develpment. Ergo, if you give what you have and apply yourself in everything that you do (i.e. the service or whatever else you choose), you will improve every area of your life and karma.
Remember: the hard situations are the ones in which your light shines the brightest! Look at your situation(s) as an opportunity to shine!

Welcome to Spiritual Evolution! / A question about Catholosism(sp?).....
February 02, 2003, 01:01:31
I was baptized Roman Catholic; confirmed Espicopalian; went to Jesuit scools for year; spent 1500 hours studying esoteric Christianity for the past few years (recently).
Circa 879 The Roman Catholic Church stade that mankind was comprised only of Body and soul. Now, what's wrong with this picture? Those who understand the Bible should certainly reply, "Where's the spirit?" more precisely, mankind is comprised of body, soul, and spirit. In fact, the Spiritual World is what this site is about (i.e. Astral, Spiritual Beings, etc...). FYI: those who challenged this were deemed heretics and killed.
In my esoteric studies, I am constantly reading about the Roman Catholic Church destrying any/all evidence of literally any and every spiritual fact(s) that comes into this world. Did you know that almost every Catholic church is physically placed according to stars? (That's astrology, folks; you're not supposed to do it, but they will...how perfect!)
I have been asking people for years why they are Roman Catholic. Do you know what the major majority of responses is? Most people are Roman Catholic because they believe the Bible claims it is the one true religion. More precisely, they point to the fact that the Bible uses the term "catholic" churh. Now, there's a difference between the word, "catholic" and "Catholic." The former means "universal church" and the latter means Roman Catholic. You do not have to be a Roman Catholic to be in sync with the Bible.
The Bible itself didn't start coming into the public's hand, until (circa) 1749. The RC church kept it under lock and key. Apparently, the readers back around 300 A.D. believed that the Pope was the Anti-Christ and they felt threatened, so they locked it up. It wasn't until the printing press came out, that the Bible got into circulation. Hence, all the new religions around that period.
Fact: you must read the Old Testament in Hebrew to understand it. FYI: how a word is pronounced in Hebrew dictates its meaning(s). Gee- you'd think that they's speak Latin AND Hebrew! Most people don't know this. What a curiousity? (Passive learning does not work in these matters.)
The Bible is a spiritual (i.e. occult) book. Therefore, it must be read with spiritual senses. Most people have a problem with the word "occult" becasue they don't know what it means and assume that they know (i.e. passive learning; kinda like watching a movie). Moses, Abraham, Jesus, Paul...all had occult training and experiences (e.g. Paul's vision was an occult experience). (The word "occult" means beyond the 5 senses). Jesus belonged to the Essenes, which was one of the reasons why the Jews did not accept Him.
The book of Revelation is about the Christian Mysteries. It was written by an initiate (i.e. John the Baptist) who also wrote the book of John- same writer. It is not about doom, gloom, and the end of times! We've got another 1700 years or so on this planet.
Jesus of Nazareth (before the Baptism) studdied the Mysteries and the Sacred Writings since age 12. He was the world's greatest initiate. He (and He alone) was able to supress the ego component of His being to enable the Christ to dwell within Him (i.e. the Baptism. All of the teachings of Christianity exist in other religions! There's nothing new! Jesus Christ was a master at making these teachings understandable for the current times (i.e. chop down the fig tree that wasn't bearing fruit). For example, the Lord's Prayer condenses 42 laws from the Sacred Writings. We are expected to be able to understand the same wisdom and make it understandable for our time without changing the meanings- that's called being a follower of Christ. Morality comes ONLY at the culmination of a long striving for wisdom. Unfortunately, most religions ONLY teach their supporters to "speak a few syllables and utter a few adjectives" (all about the ritual- that's it)
The significance of Christ is NOT the teachings! Although, they (i.e. teachings) were the spiritual food that Christ provided while he was here. In addition, He showed how to get the job (i.e. maintaining the wisdom for the sake of mankind) done!
The significance of Jesus Christ was His death- period. One must understand the Mystery of Gogotha in order to know who Christ was?
