Allow me to preach a little

[AndrewTheSinger]

We came from above them all, the aliens and the gods, the angels of poverty and their monsters. Many people here are immortals, but they don't know it, so they live as though they were slaves. They believe they are part of the world, they don't know that the world is their pen, and their bodies their prison, because they are deceived. They don't trust their spiritual nature, they trust the flesh that will perish, so they put their hopes in this life, and they never find any truth.

Even those who have some spiritual perception don't realize that they must find the truth while they are alive, otherwise, when the body dies and they are in the hands of the authorities, they will have to go through a review, then a judgement, and they'll be cast into another flesh for servitude.

There is always much pain when they find out that they wasted their lives. But every new life is a new chance. When they attain to the life-giving word, they remain with it until the time comes. And in doing so, they will pass by the gates of all the authorities without fear. And they will strip off the burden of darkness, which is the body, and they will be baptised three times. And they will be received by those who give the eternal garments, the perfect light of the spirit, because they are no strangers to them. And they will move towards the highest place, since they became worthy of the indescribable glories, for they rejected the world and the powers in order to be free from the bondage of forgetfulness.

They will dwell there forever, with the Great Ones, the Immortals, in the Light of the Eternal Father. And they will learn from the imperishable perfect knowledge, and they will live and never die again.

Whoever has ears, let him hear!

Is this sermon based upon experience? 

[interception]

The wording sounds awfully "religiousy" to me, but I guess that is inevitable. 

Yes, we have heard this all before. Glory and light and eternity and judgement and white garments.

I apologise in advance. 

[AndrewTheSinger]

Starvingpercussionist - yes, both spiritual and physical validations from 'heretic' gnostic scriptures.

interception - Hehe they have heard it but none have found it. Apologies accepted.

May I ask what your experience was exactly?

[AndrewTheSinger]

Sure, for me revelatory experiences may come in the form of insights and dreams. Insights can happen when I'm watching something, talking to somebody, viewing pictures, reading, but I must have a problem to solve. Without doubts and questions and a strong desire to figure them out there can be no insights.

In dreams I'm always seeking to return with some kind of information, but not all dreams come from knowledge. Ordinary dreams are meant to keep the dreamer distracted, so when you finally gain lucidity and try something different it might probably end. What one can do to keep on dreaming is to play along with it and be discrete about the lucidity. OBE is better for research because there is nothing going on to distract you in the first place, and because you can get see things that ideas cannot show you.

The trick is to never be satisfied with what you know, and always seek to learn more.

There are different levels of information. Level 1 changes the way you see things. Level 2 causes excitement. Level 3 causes wonder and disturbance. Level 4 better not ask about it. Level 5 are things that should never be shared unless the person has been previously instructed.

An example of a Level 1 type of experience that I can share was about the Ankh, the Ancient Egyptian 'cross'. Egyptologists say that the symbol represents 'life after death', but that's not what I was told in a dream. I hadn't even asked about it, but someone told me that the real meaning of the Ankh is 'Higher Awareness'. This now makes far more sense to me.
