Tradition of the Gnostic Apostle: The Legacy of Christ in You

by 68 Comments

Gnostic PaulI have always had a passion for the Bible. My interest in Christian origins introduced me to the gnostic form of Christianity, which I’m convinced was the way it began. I have been taken by it and through it Christ is more alive for me than ever. What is written here will be elementary for some and new for others. The point is to see the beauty.

The word ‘gnostic’ describing a spiritual-mystical tradition and persons holding to that tradition was not in common use until the 17th century. If you had asked a so-called “gnostic” in the 2nd [Read more…] about Tradition of the Gnostic Apostle: The Legacy of Christ in You

The Esoteric Significance of Jesus’ Inner Circle

by 24 Comments

Divine RayMost Christians are aware of Jesus’ inner circle. They are the three that were closest to him: Peter, James, and John. But what is hardly known is why these three?

It has nothing to do with Jesus favoring them. It has to do with the soul qualities that they represent and the role these soul qualities play in developing consciousness and birthing the Christ within. All of the disciples represent specific soul qualities, but these three—through their unique role as the inner circle of Christ—represent the main qualities which unveil the process of spiritual evolution from the natural man to the enlightened man.

Who or What is God and Christ

6609549585_ba286fd279_oIn this article, we are going to address an age-old question that our scriptural and spiritual studies have often failed to answer for us, not because the answers are not there, but because until now, we have not been adequately equipped to decode the scriptures so that the answers become plain to us.  That question is:  Who or what is God and Christ?  The answers are going to amaze you, as they did me ,because once again, the answers are incredibly [Read more…] about Who or What is God and Christ

Turning the Moon into the Sun

by 20 Comments

Solar_annular_eclipse_of_January_15,_2010_in_Jinan,Republic_of_ChinaAncient Alchemists taught that we must turn the moon into the sun. By moon, they meant our souls, and by sun, they meant the Christ. In other words, our souls must come to express the radiant Christ nature. This is what Paul meant when he said he travailed in birth until Christ be formed in you. We are to become a Christ, or anointed one, literally!

Hidden Symbols and Patterns in the Bible: Part One

by 46 Comments

Sacred SymbolsIn a comment on one of Joshua’s posts, Brian wrote something that gave me sudden insight into what is probably the most important symbol used in the Bible. It is a symbol that is hidden in plain sight: the Hebrew alphabet itself. He wrote:

“As a form of symbolic cipher, language can be amazingly efficient. In English, 26 letters combined into a few thousand words plus a few grammatical rules allow us to share a virtual infinity of ideas and subjective experiences. Unfortunately, the coding/decoding algorithms in language are yet to become as precise as in mathematics.” [Read more…] about Hidden Symbols and Patterns in the Bible: Part One

The Bible’s Divine Instruction: Watering your Mind, Body, and Soul in Meditation

Meditation ParadiseGod told Moses (ethical man/woman): “take up thy Rod”: (raise spiritual vibration, activate the chakra system).

As a meditator for over thirty-five years, I believe meditation succeeds in this Divine instruction.

The Importance of the Words not Written in the Bible

by 7 Comments

Serpent temps manWhen I was writing one of my previous articles on the relation between the serpent and the two olive trees, my attention was drawn to the fact that there is not only a hidden meaning in the words that make up the Bible stories, but also in what is NOT mentioned there.

Let us zoom in on the nachasj (the serpent) again.

Both Man (first Adam/Eve and later Adam and Eve) [Read more…] about The Importance of the Words not Written in the Bible

What does the Garden of Eden Represent?

by 79 Comments

Eden paradiseMany Christians have wondered where the Garden of Eden is located, but we should be asking a more important question: what does Eden represent? It certainly shouldn’t be confused as a literal garden. To do so strips it of all its esoteric (inner) meaning and knowledge.

Just as Jesus made it clear that the kingdom of God was within you (a conscious experience), and not something that we can see (Luke 17:20), [Read more…] about What does the Garden of Eden Represent?

Meditation and Prayer, Stillness and Silence

by 46 Comments

Going withinThe Bible is a book of allegory.  It is a book of symbols, but the intriguing thing about it is that it interprets its own symbols, so we never have to be in the dark about the meaning of Biblical symbols.  One of the reasons the Bible is such a voluminous work is that its truths are hidden like pearls in the heart of the earth.  One must dig for the hidden treasures within its pages.  “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” (Prov. 25:2).  The secrets of the Kingdom are concealed [Read more…] about Meditation and Prayer, Stillness and Silence

The Three Wise Men Bearing Gifts to Baby Jesus

by 8 Comments

Three wise men and starAs a boy, I attended many a quaint Christmas nativity scene with baby Jesus in a manger surrounded by heralding angels, donkeys, Mary and Joseph, and bright lights illuminating the magical moment commemorating the birth of a boy who would grow to be the Christ. It was always in the countryside, usually on a clear, cold winter night. I can still taste the tart cider in the cup that warmed my hands as I wondered at what the entire scene meant. Of course I was taught [Read more…] about The Three Wise Men Bearing Gifts to Baby Jesus

The Generation of the Christ

by 10 Comments

KellsFol200rGeneolgyOfChristToday I am going to take you on a literal and symbolic journey covering over half of the Bible. I am going to show you how this journey is included in just the first chapter of the New Testament, Jesus’ birth record. We’ll start with Matthew 1:1. It reads:

“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Matt. 1:1).

It is a register of births, which is mostly skipped over in church; at least, I cannot remember ever having heard it read during a church service. I suppose most people read it through privately, but did you ever see the significance of it? I certainly did not. At least not until I began to dig deeper.

The Seven Sacraments: How They Relate to our Chakras and Higher Consciousness

by 25 Comments

4488210375_8b0c425f21_oIn our last post we learned that Jesus taught God is spirit, and it is through spirit, or consciousness, that we truly worship and draw near to God. Worshipping God through the human spirit means conscious choice and action. As we choose to live consciously, consciousness will be elevated, and an elevation in consciousness is direct evidence of worshiping God.

In today’s post we will address Caroline Myss’s belief that there is a correlation, symbolically, between the meaning of the seven sacraments of the church and our seven chakras. [Read more…] about The Seven Sacraments: How They Relate to our Chakras and Higher Consciousness
