Sayings Concerning
Human
Spirituality

The Great Mystery
“The Great Mystery of
the invisible
spiritual universe is our true home. Through birth we depart from it,
through
death we return to it.” Old Man from the Holy Mountain
1:1 There is a multitude of
mysteries. They can all be penetrated by
the seeker of
truth, all but one: the Great Mystery of
the invisible spiritual universe. 1
1:2 There are things known, there
are things
unknown, that may someday become known, and then there is the Great
Mystery of
the invisible spiritual universe that shall never become known.
1:3 The Great Mystery of the
invisible
spiritual universe can never become known to the created mind of man,
as the
Great Mystery was never created, therefore cannot enter one’s
consciousness.
1:4 The belief in existence of
the invisible
spiritual universe is rooted in faith and revelation, therefore, not
open to
debate.
1. “There is the
cloud of unknowing …”
St John of the Cross
2
Existence
Part One
2.1 Nothing exists apart from yourself
1.
What you define as existence is no more than the reality you are
experiencing
due to the images2 entering your consciousness. Through the realization that nothing, absolutely nothing
exists, you
can transcend dualism, disarm your adversaries, and find liberation.
2:2 When
you become aware of an object, you, the
observer, “creates” the object, which then becomes
“real” and enters your
consciousness as an image. This is the
only way an object can come into “existence”.
2:3 Events
taking place in your life or in the world at
large enter your awareness through your interpretation of those events.
Unable
to use ‘direct seeing’ you are actually creating an event.
2:4 Only
when divisions are created and opposites appear,
or, when apparent changes take place can things become manifested,
entering the
consciousness as images.
2:5 Your
mind receives images of appearances and
experiences, processes them and gives them a status of
‘existence,’ by
solidifying them.3
“I tell you solemnly,
unless you change
and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of
Heaven.” Matthew 14:1
2:6 A little child dwells in pure
illusion. Later, through programming,
the pure illusions lose their purity and solidifies.
Now the permanency, we call reality appears,
bringing bondage; innocence and happiness become lost, and replaced
with a
never ending search for pleasure to overcome suffering.
2:7 Everything is an
illusion…and yet,
illusions do not exist, and because the illusions do not exist, one can
be
free. Illusions come to us playfully,
and then, when allowed, they depart into the great emptiness and great
nothingness…
2:8 When one transcends all and
everything,
through realization that nothing, absolutely nothing exists, one
becomes aware
of pure illusion. To this type of man,
ten thousand things become ten thousand toys…
1. Concerning
existence of God: From an exoteric perspective God exists, however,
from an
esoteric perspective God is beyond existence and beyond nonexistence.
2. To learn
more about images consult book 111, Chapter 7.
3. When you
place a label of existence on a person, you are creating a person made
of the
selected images of his which have entered your consciousness.
3
Reality
“To claim that
reality exists outside
ones consciousness is a fantasy.” Old Man from the Holy Mountain
Part One
3:1 There are two types of reality that are created by the images entering one’s consciousness:
(1) The reality which
will appear
when the images from experiences of senses or memories, as well as
experiences
of pain or pleasure entering the consciousness.
(2) The reality which
will appear
through the use of one’s imagination.
3:2 One cannot experience reality
without
changes taking place which give birth to images. Reality is in constant
change,
as the old images are being replaced by newer ones. All realities are
short-lived.
“ Strong men are in
charge of their
experiences, rather than experiences being in charge of them.”
B.Bavdaz
3:3 Experiences
born from images entering ones consciousness are the essence of
one’s reality.
They can be positive or negative, pleasant or unpleasant. Pleasant
experiences
can be positive, bringing joy , or negative, bringing mental disorder
or even
physical sickness. Unpleasant experiences can also be positive bringing
benefits, or negative bringing loss and suffering.
3:4
Avoiding
experiences is not an
easy task…
Part Three
“The Real is dead,
and no one can
identify the murderer or find the murder weapon.” J. Baudrillard
3:5 ‘Reality’ kills
Real by killing illusions,
the habitat of Real.
3:6 Only when Real is present,
illusions can
flourish. When Real is not present, the
illusions become transformed into delusions.
3:7 The world is a magical stage
for games
staged by the Real.
3:8 The world void of games is a
world void of
the Real. In a world void of games, a
man becomes living corpses.
3:9 He who attempts to define Real will murder Real...
4 Time
“If one pays no attention to time, time does not exist.” M. Eliade
“Time does not form part of the universe, and thus many scientific concepts that utilize time in their formulae are incorrect.” J. Peck
“In awareness conditioned by society, one regrets the past, fears the future, and never gets to experience the present.” R. Targ
“People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Albert Einstein
Part One
4:1 Time is like God, who is
everywhere, and yet he
is invisible… Time too is everywhere and invisible. Like God
time too is part
of the Great Mystery of the invisible spiritual universe.
Part
Two
4:2 There is no time! Man lives in
eternity, there
is no beginning and no end; no past and no future. Yet time enables an
orderly
game to take place, and the images to be placed in an orderly fashion
in one’s
mind.
4:3 Memories of the past, as well as
dreams of the
future, are part of one’s delusion and fantasies formed from the
images
entering one’s consciousness. Sometimes
departing quickly, other times staying, tormenting one’s mind.
4:4 Awareness of time is in direct
relationship to
alienation and suffering. The stronger
is the awareness of time, the stronger will be the alienation and
suffering1.
4:5
Through the
obsession with past
or future the full weight of time comes into existence.
4:6 In the past, time came from a man observing the sun, moon and seasons. Today time comes from a clock and calendar.
4:7
He who dwells in
time must have
goals2, hope to reach those goals and method to handle time,
called
hope: a conviction that unhappiness, disorder and suffering will end.
Mental
disorder appears when one has no hope and, thus loses the ability to
handle
time.
4:8
Place yesterday into storage…stop
tomorrow from
infringing upon today…seek Holy Moment: ‘time’
outside time found through
awakening.
4:9 That which one calls
“now” has already passed
into the past… and, the future, the moment it is born, passes
into the past as
well.
4:10 Yesterday exists not! Only
memories remain
chaining one to the past. Today exists not! The moment it arrives it
becomes
part of the past. Tomorrow exists not! It only dwells in one’s
hope for
pleasure and one’s fear of pain.
4:11 He who can truly see
‘present’ can predict the
future.
1. Being ‘short of
time’ brings
tension; having the ‘surplus of time’ may bring
madness…
2. There are goals made to be fulfilled
in time, and there are goals made to
be fulfilled now. Goals made to be
fulfilled in time are made of pure fantasies, which may or may not be
fulfilled. Goals made to be
fulfilled
now are made of pure illusions, which are almost always
instantly fulfilled.
5 Time & Space
“Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.” Albert Einstein
“Time and space are constructs of the mind of the observer rather than inherent in any absolute way in the fabric of reality.” N. Friedman
“Time
is the shadow of eternity; space is the
shadow of infinite universe. They belong to the Great Mystery of the
invisible
spiritual universe.” B. Bavdaz
5:1 There is space created by man, and
there is
spaceless infinity... There is time created by man, and there is
timeless
eternity... Man speaks of time, as he no longer remembers eternity...
Man
speaks of space, as he no longer remembers infinity...
5: 2 Time and space appear to exist because they can
be
measured. Eternity and infinity do not appear to exist, because they
can not be
measured.
5:3 When man invented the clock and
the yardstick,
he found time and space, and by finding time and space he lost infinity
and
eternity.
5:4
When there is no time, there is no hurry to arrive on time… When
there is no space there is no hurry to finish the journey...
6 Via
Positiva & Via Negativa
Part One
6:1 Via Positiva stands for order, and linear thinking.
6: 2 Via Negativa stands for chaos,and non-linear thinking.
6:3 Via Negativa gives birth to Via Positiva.
6:4 Via Positiva is a dualistic, goal-oriented path where hope is essential.
6:5 Via Negativa is a non-dualistic, uncharted path, where hope is not needed.1
6:6 Via Positiva is a safe path with a signpost.
6:7 Via Negativa is a dangerous path, since it is lacking signposts.
6:8 Man should walk upon Via Positiva and Via Negativa. Walking upon Via Positiva will bring him stability, but also the ultimate in stagnation. Walking upon Via Negativa will bring him creativity, but also the ultimate in chaos. Therefore, one should seldom follow only one path.
Part Two
6:9 Via Negativa may lead one into, the “dark night of the soul”, realizing that there is no “God” and there is no “I”… God, the idol, and I, the ego, have both perished in that dark night… 2
6:10 Through
the dark night of the soul, man
becomes aware of his unity with God, transcending dualism of the fallen
world.
1. When there is no goal there is no need for
hope.
2. Not only “God” and “I” but also all and
everything once part of one’s
illusions become transcendent in that dark night, as it was born from
the
labels one had created, in order to give substance to the images
entering the
consciousness.
7
Dualism & Nondualism
“Non-duality is the spiritual, philosophical and scientific understanding of non-separation and fundamental oneness.” Author Unknown
“I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one.” Rumi
Part One
7:1 Dualism is the nature of life in this world, dualism gives birth to the object and subject, existence and non-existence.
7:2 Dualism creates conditions for antagonism to appear, enabling competitive game to take place. A game for the purpose of victory and change.
7:3 The dualistic world is a relative world. Here everything is divided into two, each one seen as perceived in relationship to the other.
7:4 In
a dualistic world, there is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega. But in a nondualistic world, there was never a beginning and there will never be an end.
7:5
The nondualistic
world is an absolute world. This is the world beyond object and subject, existence and non-existence.
Part Two
7:6 The dualistic world represents dualistic thinking, and a dualistic point of view. The nondualistic world represents nondualistic thinking, and a nondualistic point of view. Dualistic and nondualistic worlds exist simultaneously.
7:7 In the dualistic world of Via Positiva, there is an evolution taking place creating “progress”. For this to happen a goal and hope are required. By participating in a game, man will experience suffering, struggling to maintain hope, and to reach the goal. In the nondualistic world of Via Negativa, there is no evolution taking place creating “progress”. Therefore, suffering and struggling to maintain hope, and to reach the goal, are no longer present.
7:8 In a world of a dualist there is a light and darkness. In a world on non-dualist there is neither light nor darkness.
7:9 Man
dwells in a dualistic world. Seeking
truth, he discovers the world of
nondualism. Alone and free he now faces the Absolute… The
Absolute, which is
not-this-and-not-that, like himself, who is
not-this-and-not-that… Absolute who
is not ‘there’, and himself who
is not ‘here’…
7:10 The world of dualism can only
be
transcended through awakening. Only then
one can find happiness without sensation, pure calm and perfect peace.
8 Love
– Unconditional
"Teacher, which is the
great
commandment in the law?" And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart and all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is
the great and first commandment. And a second is like it. You shall
love your
neighbor1 as
yourself."
Matthew 7:7-11
"The ability to love
ourselves, in
spite of all our faults and past mistakes is frequently the hardest
form of
love for us to develop.” R. Gerber,
M.D.
“Being without love
is being deprived
of all worth. Being without love would be the most appalling torment
– the
inferno itself!” Leon Tolstoy
“When love is rooted
in desire it’s no
longer a pure love.” B. Bavdaz
8:1 Unconditional love1 is the
power of Spiritual Self, which blesses
without distinction all who are capable of receiving it.
8:2
Unconditional love
goes beyond
sentimental feelings and emotions. It proclaims love without
conditions; love
for all without exceptions2.
8:3
Unconditional love
is feeling
not directed at a person or an object because of pleasure received,
pleasure
hoped for, or suffering one tries to avoid. Instead, it is love for its
own
sake. Love of God, man, things…all for their own sake.
8:4 Unconditional love is the
pre-requisite for
being at peace, and peace is the pre-requisite for being happy. It is
the only
way to find peace of God.
8:5
Through
unconditional love, also
known as pure love, one is sending positive thoughts through the power
of
subtle and paranormal energies to others.
Through this type of love one is also receiving subtle and
paranormal
energies from others.3
8:6
Unconditional love
brings the
ultimate in unity and intimacy. It creates, it redeems, it
heals… it is love
without guilt, without regret, and without fear.
8:7
He who truly
practices
unconditional love is no more…instead, seeking ‘bread and
circus’4,
as others, he becomes the channel of God’s love.
8:8
When you practice
unconditional
love you will overcome all of your earthly adversaries, and your
adversaries
from the underworld.
8:9
Unconditional love
– the only
creative force in the universe – is spiritual
‘substance’ originating in the
Great Mystery of the invisible spiritual universe.
Part Two
8:10 More you give, more you
receive...when you send
unconditional love to God or to the neighbor, this love will come back
to you.
Unconditional love is the highest power those of good-will can have. It
is
blessing and life-giving power which will sustain one into eternity.
1. Everybody without
exception.
2. One can
practice unconditional love and still have likes and dislikes.
Unconditional
love is known in Christian theology as agape.
3.
Kind words, a hug or a smile from the heart are examples of human
rituals which
can transmit subtle and paranormal energies.
4.
The ancient call of Roman masses
9
Love, Truth & Beauty
9:1 The Way of Pure Love is the way
leading to
Unity. The Way of Pure Knowledge is the way leading to Truth. The Way
of Pure
Beauty is the way leading to Paradise.1
9: 2 He who practices compassion and kindness finds
God by
finding Love. He who seeks knowledge and
wisdom finds God by finding Truth. He who attains peace and happiness
finds God
by finding Beauty.
9:3
By awakening to
Love, one finds
oneness with all and overcomes alienation. By awakening to Truth, one
finds
freedom and overcomes slavery. By awakening to Beauty, one finds joy
and
overcomes suffering.
9:4 Seek and you shall
find… Love, Truth and
Beauty; find one, and you should find all as love, truth and beauty are
one.
1. The exalted state beyond
human
comprehension.
10
Visualization
“Through
Visualization you are creating
a future.”B.Bavdaz
10:1 Visualization is focused
imagination. Due
to man’s free will, man can use images according to his will,
visualizing
anything of his choice sickness or health, poverty or riches. The
strength of
his faith will determine the power of his vision.
10:2 Visualization can be conscious,
semi-conscious or
unconscious. Conscious visualization can
be guided by the person himself or from the outside.
In unconscious or semi-conscious
visualization, the visualizer himself is one with visualization. Active visualization occurs when strong will
is present. Passive visualization is
known as fantasy – unproductive visualization.
11
Knowledge
There
are many different categories of knowledge1.
This chapter focuses on knowledge as related to awakening.
Part One
"Alas for you lawyers who have taken away the key of knowledge! You have not gone in yourselves, and have prevented others going in who wanted to." Luke 7:51
"Ignorance aware of itself is the only true
knowledge." Socrates
11:1 Man lives in a ‘fallen
world’, a world of
slavery, confusion and suffering, therefore, man seeks
‘knowledge’ – the path
to escape.1
11 2 True spiritual knowledge is a lift that takes
one to the
top of a mountain. Without it, it would be hard, if not impossible, to
reach
the summit. True spiritual knowledge
will lead one to humility and holy ignorance.
It will open the door to holy memory…
11:3 Spiritual teaching found in
ancient scriptures2 or,
conveyed by a spiritual teacher is only a
catalyst which will help release truth dormant in one’s soul.
11:4
The movement from
the lowest to
the highest level of knowing and understanding is the movement from
dualism to
non-dualism. The purpose of this type of
knowledge is to go beyond the teachings based upon Noble Ideas, the
purpose of
which is programming.
11:5 Inner or higher knowledge, also
known as
esoteric knowledge, is lying dormant in Spiritual Self. It can be
transmitted
orally by an activator,3 or
through exposure to a catalyst.4
11:6
Spiritual knowledge
is the
sword used to slay ignorance and false knowledge. It has no value in
itself.
11:7
False knowledge5 is a
greater impediment to finding truth than
ignorance. An ignorant man might someday become aware of his ignorance
and
begin seeking truth. However, the man who possesses false knowledge is
like a
man who has counterfeit money believing it is real. When in a store to
pay for
goods the storekeeper calls the police and he gets arrested.
11:8
The knower, the
known, and
knowledge are one…
Part Two
11:9 Concerning ‘truth’ found in spiritual and religious writings:
(a) Spiritual and
religious writings
may consist of revelations from
higher sources, or, theories from the mind of a writer6. We
can
assume revelations to be ‘true’, and theories to be true,
partly true or not
true at all. Separating revelations from theories is not possible, not
even by
the author himself…
(b) Some spiritual sayings should not
be given
literal interpretations, as they contain knowledge which can only be
transmitted through contemplation upon a saying.
1. Spiritual, scientific, forbidden, dangerous, false, etc.
2. To find true spiritual knowledge, one must seek humility, as well as avoiding theological speculations, and questionable interpretations of the ancient myths.
3. All ancient writings were written in the language of the age using the vocabulary of that age. This must be considered for proper understanding of those writings.
4. Someone who plays an important part in activating Spirit of Man enabling it to reconnect with Spiritual Self.
5. Any useful spiritual experience, as well as contemplation upon spiritual saying.
6. False knowledge is hard to detect as it is part of mainstream beliefs, or often part of legitimate science.
7. The origin of a theory is in the intellect which is part of the mental body; the origins of a revelation is in Spiritual Self which is on with God.
12 Wisdom
“The first step to wisdom is to understand what is false.” Lactantius
“Spiritual things can only be spiritually discerned.” St. Paul
12:1 To have perfect wisdom the
following is
required: keen intellect, common sense, life experience, and knowledge
of
pyramidal, natural, and divine laws.
12:2 One cannot “find”
wisdom; one can only overcome
ignorance.
12:3 Information alone, without wisdom
is of little
value.
13
Truth
“Seeking truth is
like seeking to reach
a magnificent summit of a high mountain. The summit which seeker of
truth is
seeking to reach belongs to the holy
mountain. To climb the treacherous walls of this mountain one must
overcome
the fear of heights…Then, one will reach the summit, and receive
the vision of
the great emptiness and great nothingness – the gate to the
Kingdom of God.”
Old Man from the Holy Mountain
"The truth shall set you
free."
John 4:11
13:1 Truth is a burning fire which destroys ignorance and false knowledge, the source of much of human suffering.
13:2 Through persistent search for truth, all and everything, all but the Great Mystery of the unseen spiritual universe, can become known.
13:3 One understands is always
blinded by
ideologies by which one has been indoctrinated. Only “direct
seeing” –
awakening – can bypass the indoctrination.
13:4 There are seekers of truth,
and then
there are those who are only seeking ideas and information to justify
their
beliefs.
13:5 Truth comes from Spiritual Self, which is one with God. It is the foundation of all true knowledge and all true understanding.
13:6 Seeking truth is the most
dangerous of all
human endeavors, as the seeker interferes with those in charge of this
world.
This is the highest of all transgressions for which there is no
forgiveness!
13:7 Seeking truth is a high calling.
Many hear the
calling, few survive the journey.
13:8 The truth has no agenda.
14 Fire & Ice
14:1 Fire is the agent of life and
death, as well as
of transformation, change and madness.
14:2 Madness is fire through which the
broken spirit
of man turns into ashes.
14:3 Ice is frozen, enslaved water
– water far from
fire…; fire melts ice, turning it into water, making soil
fertile. As a flood,
water destroys everything in its path.
14:4 All the mysteries of this world
will be
revealed to him who learns the truth about fire and the truth about
ice...
15
Center
“The center is, above
all, the origin,
the point of departure of all things; it is the principal point,
without form
and without dimensions, therefore indivisible, and thus the only image
that can
be given to the primordial unity.” Rene Guenon
Part One
15:1 Man, a pyramid or a planet cannot
exist without
a center, the source of power from God, a father, or sun.
15:2 The ultimate, the absolute, the
everlasting
center we call God is "not-this-and-not-that." God is the origin of the
authority, power, stability, certainty and vision.
15:3 The center of natural man
with ego-consciousness is in the pyramids,
and his power comes from the fathers. The center of awakened man with cosmic consciousness is in God1,
and since God is everywhere… this center is also in him. The
power of this type
of man comes from God and his power is inexhaustible.
15:4
Unity and center
are
interrelated. Strong unity is only possible when a man has a faith and
is
willing to surrender to a center. Turning away from a center, or
inability to
identify with a center, brings alienation on a personal level and
fragmentation
on a social level.
15:5 The center is the source of life;
the further
one is away from the center, the further is one away from life.
15:6
Man without a
center sometimes
attempts to fabricate an interior center by seeking honor and demanding
respect. When refused, he often becomes angry, even violent.
Part Two
15:7 Through perfect centering man realizes his unity with the center.
15:8
The following are four main types of centering:
(1) God centering: For the purpose of centering, a variety of
ways can
be used.
(2) Master centering: For the
purpose of
centering, one contemplates upon the
master
and his
teaching.
(3) Magical centering: For the
purpose of
centering, participation in rituals is
required.
(4) Ideological centering: For the purpose of centering, one looks to a leader who
embodies a Noble Idea.
15:9
Centering is always
rooted in
spiritual faith, occult or semi-occult beliefs, or a powerful political
ideology.
1. Through Spiritual Self.
16
Orderly & Disorderly Orbit
16:1 All life, all activities and all
movements in
the universe must follow an orderly orbit around the center. The center
we call
"father"; the one in orbit we call "child." The pull from a
father to a child we call "gravity."1
16:2
When an orbiter
follows an
orderly orbit, all his actions are predictable, safety and freedom
assured.
When an orbiter no longer follows an orderly orbit, his actions are no
longer
predictable, safety and freedom in jeopardy.
16:3 God and righteous father are an
example of an
orderly spiritual orbit. The sun and
its planets are an example of an orderly physical
orbit.
16:4 Disorderly spiritual orbit causes
mental
disorder, suffering and inability to play a game. Man's errors and sins
interfere with orderly orbit. His errors diminish his pleasure, his
sins his
happiness.
16:5 Disorderly physical orbits,
involving planets
cause atmospheric disorders, planetary changes, and sometimes the
collapse of
planets.
 |
C – center/father; the
source of power. B – orbiter/child: planet or electron in orderly orbit; the recipient of power. G – spiritual or planetary gravity. L – orbiter lost in space. 2 LL – orbiter lost in space who cannot be found. |
16:7 The reason for the collapse of
orderly orbits
is a weakening of the forces of gravity. This happens due to lack of
centering,
a reduction of a center's power, or an interference by an outside force.
16:8
He who departs from
an orderly
orbit departs from the center, the source of power; will be forced into
the
world of lost souls.
16:9
He who is in
orderly orbit
knows the center, is one with the center, and, therefore, is at peace.
1. “Gravity”
stands for
electro-magnetic, psychological or spiritual pull.
2. “L” and “LL” refer to ‘lost
souls’ including those who are
experiencing permanent psychosis.
17 Flow
“Blessed is he who
stands in the
eternal flow! Cursed is he who stands outside the flow; thirsty for
life and
hungry for death, he will die in agony… But beyond blessing and
beyond curses
is he who is flow itself. Angels will minister to him! Light will seek
him and
darkness will be in fear of him.” Old Man from the Holy Mountain
17:1 There is an organic and an
inorganic world. The
organic world is a dynamic flow of life itself. The inorganic world is
a static
world of death and stagnation.
17:2 Eternal flow is at the heart of
life, it was
created by the Eternal Father and sustained by righteous fathers. Apart from the eternal flow, created by the
Eternal Father, there are flows created by the righteous and
unrighteous
fathers of this world. Righteous fathers create orderly flow, a
prerequisite
for the proper functioning of a game.
17:3 Social and religious traditions
are part of the
historical flow. Attempting to stop this flow brings disorder,
confusion, and
suffering.
17:4 There is also an inside flow
within man – the
flow of his vital energy. When the flow of this energy becomes damned
one will
experiences a mental disorder or physical sickness.
17:5 To stop the flow is to stop
life...
18
Movement & Rest
Jesus said: "If they say to
you:
'From where have you originated?', say: 'We have come from the Light,
where the
Light has originated through itself. It came and revealed itself in
their
image'. If they say to you: 'Who are you?', say: 'We are His sons and
we are
the chosen ones of the Living Father'. If they ask you: 'What is the
sign of
your Father in you?', say: 'It is a movement and a rest'." Gospel of
Thomas
18:1 There is movement and rest. There is a doer and a witness. Doer is man on the
move who plays the game,
witness is man at rest who observes the game.
18:2
For man to change
from witness
to doer vision must be present, power must be acquired, and will must
be
activated.
18:3 Man on the move, the doer, is a
violent man.
Man at rest, the witness, is a man, resting between battles…
19
Emptiness & Nothingness
“When darkness is
avoiding you, and
light is no longer blinding you, you will know that you have entered
the great
emptiness and the great nothingness, the place of awakening, and the
door to
the Kingdom of God.” Old Man from the Holy Mountain.
Part One
19:1. “The dark night of the
soul”, which may come
your way, will be your last call to enter the great emptiness and great
nothingness…1
19:2 There are those who seek
relaxation and
pleasure, those who seek peace and happiness, and there are those who
seek the
great emptiness and great nothingness…
19:3
In the great
emptiness and
great nothingness, all images, all desires, all attachments and all
beliefs, as
well as faith itself, become transcended.
The Divine darkness prevailing over the great emptiness and
great
nothingness brings the realization of one’s ignorance and the
blessing of great
humility.
19:4 In
the void of the
great emptiness and great nothingness, the
humble one
will find great liberation, the proud one wild hallucination.
Here
subtle and paranormal energies are present, which assist one to return
back to
the ‘world’.
19:5 He who finds the great emptiness and great nothingness will never be the same again. Here one becomes aware of the non-existence of all and everything. Here one regains the power to create the games of one’s choice.
Part Two
19:6
There are
similarities between
the Jewish people, who escaped from Egypt and found the promised land,
and the
solitary2 escaping the darkness of this world. Jews wander
in the
desert and then enter the promised land. The solitary wanderer in the
great
emptiness and the great nothingness and find the Kingdom of God.
1. Here one can die without
dying…by
standing still, as time stands still.
2.
Today, the seeker who has escaped from the world and wanders in the
desert –
the great emptiness and great nothingness – is always alone, as
he has rejected
the world and the world has rejected him.
20
Not-This-and-Not-That
Part
One
20:1 A newborn child is
not-this-and-not-that…programmed, he becomes this-and-that. As
an adult he
might find awakening becoming again not-this-and-not-that.
20:2 This-and-that is the essence of
one’s human
nature; not-this-and-not-that is the essence of one’s divine
nature.
20:3 Due to the images entering
one’s consciousness,
one ‘sees’ the other, as
this-and-that, rather than not-this-and-not-that, the true nature of
the other.
20:4 Man has free will. Therefore, he
can create
this-and-that, and when this-and-that becomes man himself, then he
becomes the
prisoner of his own creation.
20:5 I am a spiritual being –
not-this-and-not-that,
as well as this-and-that. When not-this-and-not-that, the Kingdom of
God is my
dwelling place and my playground. When this-and-that the world is my
dwelling
place and my playground. The games I play in the world may bring me
pleasure.
The games I play in the Kingdom of God will always bring me happiness.
20:6 When I am this-and-that I am
experiencing life and suffering; when I am
not-this-and-not-that I am experiencing existence
and pure joy.
Part
Two
20:7 There are those who are
comfortable in their
skin, those who are uncomfortable in their skin, and those who have no
skin…
Those who are comfortable in their skin are slaves; those who are
uncomfortable
in their skin are also slaves, aware of their slavery, wanting to
escape. But
the "skinless" ones are free. Their spirit dwells here and there and
everywhere. They are awake to their spiritual nature, which is
not-this-and-not-that…
21
Consciousnesses
21:1 Human consciousness can function in four different ways:
(1) Ego consciousness1, born
from the
experiences in the pyramids.
(2) Expanded non-local cosmic
consciousness,
activated through awakening. It can be of a temporary or of permanent
nature. When in this state, the door to
extrasensory perception, intuition and inner vision opens.
Together with clear intention, faith and
unconditional love, many spiritual gifts, including the gift of healing
and
prophecy, can become manifested. Only through expanded cosmic
consciousness can
one transcend dualistic thinking and see into the true nature of things.
(3) Naked consciousness2 is born when mind comes to total rest, by suspending its activities, then the consciousness void of images appears. There are innumerable ways one can enter naked consciousness. Any pleasant experience void of content through which one is able to “let go” may empty one’s mind of images and prevent new images from entering. Naked consciousness also appears spontaneously prior to one’s sleep. Naked consciousness is the abode of absolute silence, absolute stillness, absolute emptiness, absolute peace and absolute calm. It is the world without thoughts, world without words…
(4) Alternative states of consciousness (ASC) are characterized by radical shifts in patterns of consciousness from normal ego consciousness. The following are a few essential things to know:
ASC can be local or non-local.
One can enter ASC voluntarily or involuntarily, one cannot always change ASC for ego consciousness.
ASC can be
induced by any of the following means: psychedelics, drugs, magical
techniques,
dancing, chanting, intoxication, self-inflicted pain, sensory
deprivation,
sensory overload, sleep deprivation, hypnosis, trance, fatigue,
malnutrition,
fasting or psychosis, as well as the possession by a ghost or a
spiritual
entity from the underworld.
ASC may cause temporary or even
permanent mental disorder.
The state of hallucination is not ASC.
21:2 Ego state of consciousness is the only permanent state of consciousness. It is safe to enter naked state of consciousness, or cosmic state of consciousness, the product of awakening. Entering alternative state of consciousness is always a risky endeavor.
21:3 All life has limited consciousness. Only man has self-consciousness.
21:4 Nothing,
absolutely nothing exists outside
one’s consciousness, and that which appears in one’s
consciousness has no
permanency.
1. Dwelling in a Spirit of Man (See: Bodies of Man, Book I I, Chapter 29)
2. Also known as pure consciousness and the state of no-mind.
22
Beliefs
22:1
Beliefs emerge when
certain
images under the influence of one’s feelings become structured
and
defined. Programming and propaganda
assist with emergence of a belief.
22:2
Through seduction
by righteous
or unrighteous fathers, man can develop strong beliefs, which in due
time
becomes the core of his faith.1
22:3
Beliefs bring hope
as well as
oppression and slavery 2
22:4
The astral body,
which is the
habitat of all desires, feelings, emotions and passions, is the root of
all
beliefs. The mind has little power over
beliefs. Its power is limited to
defining and justifying them intellectually.
22:5
Only through
awakening can a
spiritual knowledge dormant in Spiritual Self become activated,
enabling man to
transcend his beliefs. By transcending his beliefs he will find truth,
truth
which will set him free.
22:6
There are positive
and negative
beliefs, depending upon the influence a belief exercises upon
one’s life.
However, apart from the positive and negative beliefs, there also false
beliefs.3
22:7 After one becomes seduced by
certain beliefs,
one starts to gather the “evidence” to support those
beliefs. Man has no power
over his beliefs.
22:8
God, and all that
is invisible,
enters one’s mind through a belief, which could give birth to
faith. Then, faith itself could be
transcended by
knowledge, dormant in one’s Spiritual Self.
22:9
Every culture is
product of the
dominant beliefs5 of its
members.
22:10
A religion is only
infrastructure of a belief system.
1. It includes spiritual
and religious
convictions, as well as convictions rooted in political ideologies and
traditions.
2. Religious and political beliefs are on the decline or dying. Is man capable of surviving without hope and
without chains?
3.
The belief that the end of the world was to occur on May 7st,
67. It
did not happen…
23
Faith & Power
Part One
23:1 Faith is a strong belief in
‘existence’ of
someone or something when proof is lacking, or, a strong conviction
that ones
desires will be fulfilled. It enables us to believe in existence of
paranormal
and supernatural powers one has access to.
23 2 Faith, combined with will, visualization and
wisdom, will
create a conscious or unconscious blueprint, giving direction to ones
life, as
well as help one to reach a specific goal.
23:3
Lack of faith
indicates a lack
of awareness of the powers one has.
23:4
Faith in God brings
to man the
greatest empowerment he can find in his life. When man loses faith in
God – the
higher power – he also loses belief in the Great Mystery of the
unseen
spiritual universe.
23:5 All the declines in one’s life are related to the decline of one’s faith1. Without faith nothing is possible.
23:6 Faith is beyond rational discourse.
Part Two
23:7 Religious faith comes from
religious doctrines
and Holy Book, combined with ones interpretation of the above.
23:8 There is no historical evidence,
that there was
ever society lacking belief in the invisible spiritual universe and
spiritual
beings. Men of the past derived from it faith needed to survive.
Contemporary
man has little faith, as men of today have lost the knowledge of who he
truly
is.
1. Not limited to faith in God.
24
God
General
”What no eye has
seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who
love
him.” I Corinthians 1:5
“God
is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere, circumference
nowhere.”
Nicholas of Cusa
"If there is no God, then
everything is permitted." Dostoyevsky
“No God has ever
controlled man. Divine
despotism is fantasy.” J. Evola
24:1 God is
‘everywhere’…God is ever present…God is
non-local… God
is beyond
human understanding; beyond one and beyond many; beyond male and beyond
female;
not-this-and-not-that1… God cannot be defined in
human terms. One
cannot assign to God human qualities, as by doing so one would create
an idol.
24:2 Be still, stand in awe of God, see
your
nothingness, and you will overcome the ultimate sin separating you from
God –
the sin of pride. 2
24:3 The unrighteous fathers keep man
away from God
by telling man to overcome guilt and therefore no longer feel bad about
sinning, and by not telling man about virtues and therefore preventing
him from
seeking a vision of the Kingdom of God.
24:4 When man loses faith in God he
becomes an
orphan and homeless, as he also loses belief in the Great Mystery of
the
invisible spiritual universe. Losing
faith in God one creates a spiritual void never left empty for
long…
24:5 Preaching separation between man
and God is the
ultimate heresy, as it brings poverty and weakness, ignorance and
confusion.
But through unity with God man can overcome poverty by finding wealth,
weakness
by finding will, ignorance through wisdom, confusion through vision.
24:6
A fly does not have
the mental
capacity to comprehend man and his world. Likewise man is lacking
mental
capacity to comprehend God and the Great Mystery of the invisible
spiritual
universe.
24:7
There is no sea for
fish
swimming in the sea, just as there is no God for man in unity with God.
Only
when a fish departs from the sea, and only when man departs from God,
does the
fish remember the sea and the man remember God.
Seeker of God
"I counsel you, that in the
earnest exercise of mystical contemplation you leave the senses and the
activity of the intellect, and all that the senses and the intellect
can
perceive, and all things in this world of nothingness and that world of
being,
and that your understanding being laid to rest, you strive towards a
union with
him whom neither being nor understanding can contain. For by the
unceasing and
absolute renunciation of yourself and all things you shall in purity
cast all
things aside and be released from all, and so shall you be led upward
to the
ray of that divine darkness, which exceeds all existence." Dionysius3
Jesus said: "The seeker should not stop until he
finds. When he does find, he will be disturbed. After having been
disturbed, he
will be astonished. Then he will reign over everything."4 Gospel of Thomas
"You are looking for something along with God, and you are behaving exactly as if you were making of God a candle so that you could look for something. When we find the things we are looking for, we throw the candle away. Whatever you are seeking along with God is nothing. It does not matter what it is – be it an advantage or a reward or a kind of spirituality or whatever – you are seeking nothingness, and for this reason you find nothingness.” Master Eckhart5
24:8 God can never be found because God
has never departed;
only man has departed from God.
24:9 God can become “known”
to man through the One who possesses perfect humanity
and perfect divinity. When the seeker
loves the One and obeys his
commandments he becomes one with the One…
24:10 When you truly see
yourself, you will be appalled at what you see… Then, your
heart will be troubled and you will embark on the journey…
24:11 There is no "spiritual growth"!
There
is only the relentless search for Truth for the sake of seeing, for
Love for
the sake of unity, and for Beauty for the sake of paradise.
24:12
When man goes on
the journey
and for the sake of truth is willing to become “lost”, only
then, and then only
can God “find” him…
24:13 Man is a son of God. Forgetting
his father, he
becomes blind to his inheritance. But when he realizes whose son he is,
he
inherits the wealth.
24:14 Sometimes
language becomes
the enemy of the seeker, and words the stumbling stones on the path.
24:15 A seeker of God must avoid baggage
from the
past as well as spiritual entertainment from the false teachers of
today.
24:16 There are seekers of God, and
then, there are
the awakened ones, those who have found God by finding their true
nature. They
are called the sons of God.
Kingdom of God
“His disciples said to him: On what day will the kingdom come? Jesus said: It cometh not with observation. They will not say: Lo, here! Or: Lo, there! But the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.” Gospel of Thomas
“The Kingdom of God is for none but the thoroughly dead.” Meister Eckhart
“This world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that this is true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a place that called you to return, although you do not recognize the voice, nor what it is the voice reminds you of. Yet still you feel an alien here, from somewhere all unknown. Nothing so definite that you could say with certainty you are an exile here. Just a persistent feeling, something not more than a tiny throb, at other times hardly remembered, actively dismissed, but surely the return to mind again.” A Course in Miracles
“You
are dwelling in the kingdom of God. The
world is only the place you are walking through…” Old Man
from the Holy
Mountain
24:17
In the middle of
the world full
of pain and suffering, there is the Kingdom of God where peace and
happiness
prevail. It stretches from the depth of
heaven into the
depth of the earth…it had no beginning and will have no end.
24:18 The Kingdom of God is a habitat of
children,
and those who regained it through awakening.
24:19
The Kingdom of God
is a kingdom
of love. Here you will exchange pleasure for happiness, conflict for
peace, and
sorrow for blessedness. It is open to those who can practice
unconditional
love.
24:20 There are preachers who preach about the Kingdom of God, and yet, they never enter it themselves and make it impossible for others to ente
24:21 Samsara is nirvana
and nirvana
is samsara…6 They are one. All men dwell in
nirvana!7 Walking
through samsara8,
they become enslaved, seduced by its false beauty, not seeing the
beauty and
greatness of nirvana.
Peace of God
“Esoterically, peace
is not being not
attacked by enemies. It is not the opposite of war, but a state in
which the
whole being is filled with an uncritical tolerance so that whatever one
sees it
does not strike inwardly unpleasantly even where it previously did, so
that
there goes with the state a surprising freedom, as if escaping from a
prison.”
M. Nicoll
24:22 All peace comes from fathers:
worldly peace
from worldly fathers, heavenly peace from the Heavenly Father. He who
is in a
state of surrender to worldly fathers will experience true peace of
mind when
in a state of surrender to righteous fathers, and false peace of mind
when in a
state of surrender to unrighteous fathers. He who is in a state of
surrender to
the Heavenly Father will experience the peace of God – the source
of true
happiness.
24:23 All men are born blessed, as they are born into
the first
universe. Becoming separated from the first universe9,
blessedness
diminishes. However, spiritual seeker can return to the first universe,
and
experience blessedness also known as peace of God.
24:24 Peace in this
world10
dwells in time and space, but the peace of God dwells outside time and
outside
space. Peace of men comes and goes, but peace of God neither comes nor
goes;
only men depart from it.
24:25 Unconditional
love, together
with repentance and forgiveness, are the requirements for experiencing
peace of
God.
24:26 The peace of God
is the door
to happiness – a self-satisfying sensation – a state void
of conflict, guilt,
remorse or fear.
24:27 The peace
of God brings
the end to emotional and mental disorders. It
makes one aware that the creation is constant and stable. It is
experience of the Kingdom of God…
24:28 Accept all and
everything.
Let ten thousand things come and go. Preserve the peace of God, the
peace which
is beyond all understanding.
1. The ultimate reality is not-this-and-not-that. Nagarjuna [First century Buddhist philosopher]
2. In overcoming pride, one will gain ones dignity.
3. The name given to the author of a corpus of theological writings born c. 500 A.D.
4. That which the seeker will “find” was never lost. Only the ability to access it was lost due to his ignorance.
5. Medieval German, Christian theologian and mystic.
6. Ancient Hindu sayings from Uphanishad.
7. Kingdom of God - Kingdom of Heaven on earth found through awakening.
8. Created by unrighteous fathers and the
principalities and powers of
darkness.
9. See
Book II, Chapter 8.
10. When one is seeking peace through
good times,
pleasure or certain relaxation techniques, one will only find
short-lived
‘peace of the world’ rather than peace of God.
25 Awakening
There are many
types of awakening. The awakening can be temporary
or permanent, full or partial. The sayings in this chapter are about
the
awakening of the Spirit of Man to the of Spiritual Self.
“I tell you most
solemnly, unless a man
is born through water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of
God: what is born of the flesh is flesh;
what is
born of the Spirit is spirit.” John
1:5-2
“The father and I are
one; we are
distinct in person, because nothing gives birth to itself; we are one
in
nature, because otherwise justice would not beget the just, nor would
the
father beget the son as other.” Meister
Eckhart
"Ready must thou be to burn thyself in thine own flame; how couldst thou become new if thou have not first become ashes!" F. Nietzsche
"Many are called but few are chosen…" Matthew 7:7 “The chosen ones are those who are willing to die to the old self, and find awakening. They were chosen to become Holy Warriors to liberate others from the chains of ignorance and false knowledge.” Old Man from the Holy Mountain
“When you become
awake for the first
time you will be surprised...when back in a ‘slaveland’,
you will always
remember this moment. The moment, you have experienced your freedom,
for the
first time.” Old Man from the Holy Mountain.
Part One
25:1 It is the destiny of man to be tempted by the forces of “darkness” – the snake with one thousand heads… Tempted until the snake is slain and awakening takes place.
25:2 Natural man is a seduced man; seduced by the unrighteous fathers and the will of the flesh.1 Entrapped and unaware of his true identity, this kind of man becomes a wanderer searching for pleasure.
25:3 Through awakening2 man regains peace of mind, through new found ability to transcend images entering his consciousness.
25:4 Beyond the dualistic vision of the dualist and the tunnel vision of the ideologue3 awakened man becomes capable of direct seeing, seeing things as a child would see them.
25:5 Through
awakening man regains his lost
memories. The memories of his own true nature and the memories of his
true
dwelling place.
Part Two
25:6 Man was born blessed, and yet, he seldom experiences his blessedness, because his spirit is alienated from his Spiritual Self, the source of his true identity. Only through awakening will his spirit become reconnected with the Spiritual Self, regaining the awareness of his true existence and blessedness, also known as peace of God.
25:7 Awakening brings an end to emotional upheaval in the astral body as well as bringing peace, the source of happiness, to the mental body.
25:8 Natural man is goal-oriented. He can “win” or he can “lose”… Awakened man is process-oriented. He can neither “win” nor “lose”.
25:9 There is no formula to be found, or a path to be thread in a search for awakening. Closer one comes to awakening closer one comes to ‘the dark knight of the soul’. Here all programs collapse as one enters the great emptiness and the great nothingness – the door to awakening.
25:10 When one truly realizes that nothing, absolutely nothing exists, one will find awakening.
Part Three
25:11 Awakened man is Christ-like. Fully human and fully divine, following the path of unconditional love, nondualism and total forgiveness, forgiving the transgressions of others and errors of oneself.
25:12 Awakened man is strong with the wealth which is not of this world. Strong and powerful, he seeks no more, as heaven and earth have been given to him.
25:13 Awakening occurs when Spirit of Man unites with Spiritual Self and one’s existence is fully realized. Within this ‘human trinity’, a perfect man becomes aware of his unity with God, by seeing into his own true nature…
Part Four
25:14 One born from the Spirit and the Truth becomes like the earth, which gives away all that it receives from the sun...
25:15 The one who is truly “born again” of the Spirit and the Truth is in this world but not of it… He no longer dwells in dualistic worldly delusions, and the world has no power over him.
25:16 Awakened man is the way, the truth and the life4. He brings light into the world, the light which blind man cannot see.
25:17 Man is born holy! Unfortunately his holiness becomes polluted by sin. Through awakening he can regain his holiness and return to the holy moment – the holy moment of his childhood – full of calm and peace, happiness and joy.
25:18 Awakened man no longer dwells in ‘time’ and ‘space’, as time becomes replaced with holy moment and space with the holy journey.
25:19 For a woman to give birth to a child, she must first become impregnated by man. Likewise, for one to be born again from the spirit and the truth, one must first become impregnated with the spirit and the truth by a master in flesh or a master in spirit.
Part Five
25:20 The life purpose of an awakened one, is to enter the struggle against ignorance and false knowledge. The life purpose of natural man is to do the will of the ego, and find ego gratification.
25:21 The one who is blessed with the awakening will also be blessed with salvation - eternal life5.
1. The will of the flesh is rooted in one’s astral body with it’s desires, feelings, emotions and passions. Emotions and passions, will lead one into carnality and materialism, bringing degeneration to man. They are the two main barriers to awakening.
2. Flash of intuition, insight, peak experience, as well as many other similar psychological experiences are not identical with awakening, as none of those experiences will bring inner transformation. However temporary state of awakening, known in Zen Buddhism as satory, should never be dismissed as they are often genuine.
3. Ideology comes from a programming with the purpose of fulfilling an agenda created by fathers. When one has principles, one has no need for an ideology.
4. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” (John 7:2)
5. Awakening is not the only path to salvation.
26 Creation
“The notion that the
physical universe
emerged from an underlying spiritual realm hidden from the senses is a
central
teaching of most religions.” P.A. LaViolette
“Modern science has
come to understand
that matter is only condensed energy. Sooner or later science will also
discover
that what it calls energy is only condensed psychic force.” V.
Tomberg
General
26:1 The
term ‘creation’ stands for the universe — our world,
sun, planets, stars, the space
beyond, as well as the visible and the invisible life it contains. It
did, is
and will enter into our consciousness as images, when changes take
place, creating
‘reality’.
26:2 However,
the reality mentioned above can only appear when an observer is
present.
Therefore, the question remains: when did this observer appear…
26:3 The process of change, which
creates images, will
indicate either evolution — desirable changes, or devolution —
undesirable changes.
26:4 There are religious myths and
scientific
theories concerning the creation of the universe. There are based upon
the
false believe that everything must have a beginning. The universe had
no
beginning and will have no end! It is a process rather than a
‘thing’, and
the process will never
end.
26:5 Scientific theories concerning creation are totally
unproven.
26:6 Creation
stories1, which can be found in all
religions, exist because of
man’s curiosity about his origin and the origin of the world. However they are problematic for the
following four reasons:
(1) Because the concept of time belongs only to our world, and perhaps to the worlds similar to ours.
(2) Because the supernatural events of such magnitude, if they have indeed occurred cannot be described in a human language.
(3) Because the ancient myths, are no more than an attempt to explain the unexplainable. They should probably never be given literal meaning.
(4) Because they are no more than a product of images entering the consciousness of the creator(s) of a myths and its interpreters.
26:7
There are esoteric and religious convictions that
‘higher’ creates the ‘lower’ either through an
act in time, or through
directing an ongoing process. The text below will describe the triune
nature of
creation from esoteric perspective.
The First
Universe
26:8 From
nothing…
The Living Word of God2 did, is,
and always will, create the everlasting universe. We call it the first
universe.
[This is
known as creation – the Kingdom of God –
which
had no beginning and will have no end, as the beginning and the end are
part of
the human concepts related to time.]
26:9 The
first universe, the habitat of natural, paranormal and supernatural
life
manifesting energies, is stable. The unstable, second and third
universes give
birth to all the changes, as well as miseries one is experiencing.
The Second
Universe
26:10 With power , will, wisdom and vision…
The Living Word of Man, did, is, and always will, create his temporary universe. We call it the second universe.
[Man is able to create his universe because he was given self-consciousness, free will, power, wisdom and the ability to form a vision]
26:11 The
second universe manifests itself through ever-changing realities
created by
images entering ones consciousness.
26:12 Man
lives in the universe he has created. He
is the king of his universe and no one can take it away from him, as
this
universe exists only in his mind…
26:13 Creating
one’s universe is often a struggle. Many
abandon the struggle and enter the world of lost souls.
26:14
One is born into the
first universe. Through conscious or semi-conscious visualization,
combined
with programming, one enters the second universe, and through awakening
one can
return to the first universe – the Kingdom of God. This is not an
easy task as
attachments to the second universe stand in one’s way.
The Third
Universe
26:15 With power, will, wisdom and vision…
The Living Words of Fathers did, are, and always will, create their temporary universe.
We call it the third universe.
[The world one lives in - the grand pyramid. Everyone makes a contribution toward it, to the degree of one’s power, will, wisdom and the ability to form a vision.]
26:16 The
third universe gave birth to the nations and tribes. They are born
through
violence and they die likewise.
26:17 Culture and religion are the heart and mind of this universe, as they provide order and vitality.
Universe “X”
26:18 There
is also a universe created by the entities from the underworld. We call it the universe “X”. He
who enters it
will bring upon himself suffering and even madness.
The Interrelation Between the
Universes
26:19 All
changes taking place in the third universe, also manifest themselves in
the
second universe.
26:20 Man
has no power over the first and the third universe.
However, the second universe belongs to
him. He has created it, he can destroy
it, or, he can transform it; he has the power to do it.
26:21 The
third universe must be in harmony with the first, as extreme disharmony
will
bring total social chaos, also known as “end of times”.
26:22 The
second universe must be in harmony with the first and the third
universe, as
extreme disharmony will bring mental disorder or emotional anguish.
The Fall of Man
26:23 According
to ancient and esoteric teachings, man once dwelled in a Golden Age.
The end of
the Golden Age is called in western religions the “fall of
man”. This gave
birth to the second and third universe with cosmic consciousness being
replaced
with ego and tribal consciousness.
26:24 At
present man dwells in Iron Age3 - the Silver and Bronze Age
being
the two periods in between. Walking
alone, confused, and lacking wisdom, man is now entering the path
toward the
second fall4,bringing destruction to the family
pyramid, and
the third fall5, bringing destruction to the
individual nation
pyramid.
Beginning & End
26:25 Every
universe has a psychic blueprint, the laws governing the creation which
represent the infrastructure of a creation. Breaking it, damages the
infrastructure
creating chaos, bringing widespread social as well as mental disorder.
26:26 The
creation to be sustained and stability assured, order must be
maintained, through
the laws governing creation, as breaking the laws brings damage to the
functioning of the universe.
26:27 Breaking
the laws of the first universe is called sin. Breaking the laws of the second universe is
called error. Breaking
the laws of the third universe is
called crime.
26:28 It
appears that the purpose of every universe is to create a
playground….
1. a) The creation stories from antiquity can only be written in the language and imagery to be understood by those for whom they were written.
b) Creation stories were also being interpreted by innumerable scholars and mystics throughout the ages. In addition we also have reinterpretations of interpretations...
2. The Living Word of God is a command void of any limitations. The Living Word of Man has almost always limitations.
3. Also known as the age of materialism, universal chaos and confusion.
4. The second fall will be accomplished by transferring powers from man to woman. This will be known as the end of patriarchy.
5. The third fall will be accomplished by transferring power from individual sovereign states to the global village, creating one world government – the second Tower of Babel.

The Seven Dwelling Places of
Man
27:1 There are seven houses in which
man can dwell.
The House of God:
(1) The house of truth.
State of awareness, born through awakening; home of those consciously
re-born.
(2) The house of love.
State of peace, born through awakening; home of man unconsciously
re-born.
(3) The house of beauty.
State of peace and happiness, born through awakening; home of those
unconsciously re-born.
The House of Games:
(4) The house of power games.
State of escape from suffering through pleasure; home of the majority.
(5) The house of mind games.
State of mental disorder, born from inability or unwillingness
to play a
game;
the home of lost souls.
The House of Limbo:
(6) The house of madness.
A state of mental disorder, born from total alienation.
(7) The house of coma.
State of unconsciousness, born from severe shock; home of those in a
state of suspended animation.
28 Spiritual
Beings & Entities
General
28:1
Spiritual beings and entities lack mass and electro-magnetic
charge. For this reason they cannot enter ones normal vision, or get
detected
by scientific instruments.
28:2
The main difference between spiritual beings and spiritual entities is
in their
power and rank. Individual spiritual beings and spiritual entities vary
in
power and in rank as well.
28:3
Similar to our world with righteous and unrighteous fathers, the unseen
spiritual universe is the habitat of holy - righteous, and unholy -
unrighteous
spiritual beings and entities.
28:4 Spiritual beings and entities can appear through ones inner vision, or occasionally through ones astral vision1. Only those who are consciously or unconsciously “open”, and have strong belief in the possibility of an encounter with a spiritual entity, can experience it. An encounter with a holy entity, like an angel, is always beneficial. For the encounter to take place strong faith is required.
28:5 All spiritual beings and entities are mostly nonlocal.
Spiritual Beings
28:6
Immortal spiritual beings of great powers, some known in the past as
Gods,
Demi-Gods and Goddesses, were worshipped in antiquity, and in some
parts of the
world even today2.
28:7 According
to universal myth, the spiritual universe contains a place of pleasure
and
bliss at the ‘top’, known as heaven, and a place of pain
and suffering at the
‘bottom’, known as hell. In between we would then find
parallel universes.
None-local spiritual beings can visit our world and very likely have
relationships with human beings.
28:8
On the basis of ancient writings3, combined with past and
present
esoteric teachings, we can assume that ancient Gods, Goddesses and
other
spiritual beings were part of the hierarchy similar to the ones we find
in this
world. Their members are also both ‘masters’ and
‘slaves’ at the same time.
Masters to humans and slaves to the higher Gods and Goddesses.
Spiritual Entities
28:9 The
encounter with an unholy entity4 from beyond the human plain, also
know as the underworld, may lead to possession. Possession by an entity
like a
ghost, may result in a take-over of one’s astral body, which can
bring mental
disorder and great suffering. One can also be possess by and entity
without
being aware of it.
28:10 In the invisible underworld, there are a great variety of spirits of low power and rank, similar to bacteria, viruses and parasites present in the visible universe. They can create illnesses, as well as mental and emotional disorders, invading those lacking spiritual immunity. All spirits emit “vibes”. There are many ways one can become possessed by such spirits5, which in turn can inflict others.
1. Known in Hinduism as the third eye.
2. A belief in a Supreme God – the Lord of Gods –was also present in most ancient religions.
3. Found on over half a million documents, written on clay and writing boards in Mesopotamia alone.
4. Probably only adversaries without strictly ‘evil’ intent. They enter the human plane for a variety of reasons, including playful mischief.
5. They are also known as psychic microbes.
29 Bodies of Man
The terms “body” and “habitat” used in this chapter are only two of the many terms which can be used in this context. [Throughout the ages man was defined as a being who had body, mind and spirit. The sayings in the chapter below only expands the original definition.]
General
“Clairvoyance who have observed fetal
development doing normal human pregnancies have noted that the higher
spiritual
bodies actually appear first, like an invisible mould, that subtly
guides the
process of the enfoldment of the fetus’s physical form.”
R.G. Gerber, M.D.
29:1 At the time a child is being
conceived, the
soul, the Spiritual Self appears from the invisible spiritual universe
to build
the vehicle needed by child to dwell in this world – astral,
mental and etheric
bodies. When the soul,
‘departs’ from
this world, the physical body will lose its etheric energy. The astral
body
will survive death and will be the only vehicle of the soul until it
reaches
its ultimate destination…
29:2 The following is a short description of the three invisible bodies of man created by Spiritual Self:
- Astral body1 – the habitat of the Spirit of Man and his consciousness.
Astral body is…
The exact copy of the physical body but made of fine material.
The instrument of desires, feelings, emotions and passions.
The root of all human impulses.
The origin of the will of the flesh.
Capable of separating itself from the physical body.
Able to exercise all the functions of the mental body, when separated from it.
Endowed with intuition and extrasensory perception.
- Mental body – the habitat of the mind.
The mind has the capacity to project a vision, utilize intellect and wisdom, analyze data and use imagination. It can also process and store information received from the senses, and to recall data from memories.
- Etheric body2 – the matrix that holds
the physical body
together,until death. Through chakras,
(the energy points of the etheric body) the physical body is supplied
with the
vitality necessary for it’s existence and well-being. Aura is the energy radiating from the etheric
body.
29:3 To exercise power over one’s desires and passions, one must seek awakening, as the power of will is related to the level of one’s awakening. Inability to control emotions and passions brings emotional upheaval and misery.
29:4 To be healthy, created bodies must be nourished. The physical body needs healthy food; astral love, affection and kindness; mental, worldly and spiritual knowledge; the etheric body needs the subtle and paranormal energies.
29:5 Physical and astral bodies have each an immune system – an inner warrior preventing outside entities from invading.
29:6 To find stability and harmony, essential to proper functioning of the bodies, one should seek grounding, one should practice stillness, and one should be mindful at all times.
a) Grounding, found through awareness of one’s body, will stabilize and bring harmony between the physical body and earth – the extension of physical body.
b) Stillness, found through focused relaxation, will stabilize and bring harmony between the astral body and astral plane – the extension of the astral body.
c) Mindfulness, found through awareness of one’s thoughts, speech, activities and desires, will stabilize and bring harmony between the mental body and cosmic intelligence – the extension of the mental body.
Spirit of Man
29:7 The Spirit of Man has, through faith, access to the worldly powers as well as to the subtle, paranormal and supernatural energies. It directs the will and it is in charge of your activities, your relationship with others, as well as your physical, astral and mental bodies during your earthly journey.
29:8 The function of your spirit is similar to the function of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a corporation, whose performance is essential to the well-being of the corporation. Likewise, for your wellbeing, the Spirit of Man should always be in the will of God through Spiritual Self.
29:9 Your spirit can also be compared to the computer operator; human brains to computer hardware, mental body to computer software; etheric body to the power and signals; astral body to internet.
29:10 Personality and charisma, the outward manifestations of ones vitality displayed by your spirit, evolves from the life of the ego in the pyramids, combined with the subtle and paranormal energies.
29:11 Through awakening, the will of the Spirit of Man surrenders to the will of the spiritual self who is one with God.
29:12 When your spirit loves God more than the world, your spirit will become unified with your Spiritual Self.
Spiritual Self
“Walk slowly. Hear the sound of silence, the voice of your Spiritual Self, the inner master you were born with.” Old Man from the Holy Mountain
29:13 Man is a spirit, which ‘dwells’ in a body during his earthly journey. We call this spirit the Spiritual Self.3
29:14 The eternal nonlocal Spiritual Self is part of the Great Mystery of the invisible spiritual universe. Therefore Spiritual Self cannot be defined by words or registered by one’s senses, as Spiritual Self is not-this-and-not-that.
29:15 The eternal and nonlocal Spiritual Self is one with God, and being one with God the powers of the Spiritual Self are infinite.
29:16 Spiritual Self is like the life in a seed which becomes a tree when planted in the soil producing abundance of fruit.
29:17 When a storm comes, remember who you truly are. Then peace and calm will prevail…
1. Also known as the emotional, subtle or light
body with
its center in the heart.
2.
Also known as the vital body or bio-plasma.
3. Which essence is one with God. It is also known as the inner being,
the
living soul, higher self, true self, transcendental ego, etc.
30 Subtle
& Paranormal Energies
“A vital force or energy that transcends time and space, permeates all things in the universe, and upon which all things depend for health and life. Its existence has been acknowledged universally since ancient times, and it is known by many different names. The Hindus call it prana, the Polynesians and Hawaiians mana, the Chinese qi and Japanese ki. Hippocrates called it the vis medicatrix naturae, and Galen called it the pneuma. It is referred to as the telesma in the writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. The alchemist Robert Fludd referred to it as spiritus and the Kabbalists called it the astral light; hypnotist Franz Anton Mesmer called it magnetic fluid, and psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich termed it orgone energy. More recently, it has been referred to as bioenergy and ormus.” D. Cowens
“Science has recently
begun to prove
what ancient myths and religions have always espoused: that there may
be such a
thing as a life force. During the past
few decades, respected frontier scientists all over the globe have
produced extraordinary
evidence to show that an energy field – the Zero Point Field
– connects
everything in the universe, and we ourselves are part of this vast,
dynamic
network of energy exchange.” L. McTaggart
30:1 The universe is a power
cage…the world,
and the sky above, contains natural, subtle paranormal and supernatural
energies. Human beings likewise contain natural, subtle, paranormal and
supernatural energies1.
30:2 Depending on one’s
state of consciousness,
man has access to natural (NA),
subtle (SU), paranormal (PA) and
supernatural (SN) powers.
30:3 The essence of power we call
energy.
Subtle energies consist of ultrasonic waves, cosmic rays,
electro-magnetic
spectrum, as well as other energies not yet discovered. Paranormal and
supernatural energies cannot be scientifically detected.
30:4 Subtle, paranormal and supernatural energies are healing empowerment and transformation tools, which can bring about changes beyond the reach of the natural energies.
30:5 For healing, empowerment or transformation to take place, the following should be present.
(1) Will – decision making agent which will activate the process.
(2) Faith –
strong conviction in existence of wealth. Through faith one
can change wealth into power activating energy, needed to reach the
goal.
(3) Surrender – to the
‘wealth’, the source
of
power, and/or to the conductor of power –
the activator.
(4) Focused attention
– visualizing the goal.
(5) Unconditional
love – love void of conditions or exceptions, combined
with total forgiveness and realization that all is one.
(6) Naked
consciousness – the state of mind void of images.
30:6 Healing, empowerment and
transformation can occur through prayer, as well as through the
employment of subtle,
paranormal and supernatural energies2.
1. The energies represent the invisible part of the universe, also known as the creation. They are power behind all life, and all the changes taking place in the universe.
2. Point Zero activator uses the following three methods: Living Touch to bring healing, Living Gaze to bring empowerment and Living Words to bring transformation.
31 Prayer
"Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be taken up and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and you will." Mark 7:7
General
31:1 Man prays because he is a spiritual being temporarily living in the flesh. Prayer1 is a channel between man and God -- between the natural world, and the Great Mystery of the invisible spiritual universe. Prayer enables the Spirit of Man to reconnect with ones spiritual essence – the Spiritual Self.
31:2 Through prayer we become awake to our true nature and our true home – the Kingdom of God.
31:3 Through prayer we leave the world of conflict and sorrow and enter into the world of peace and happiness.
31:4 All the believers in God believe and pray to the same God. However, they often turn God into an idol, bypassing in the prayers the living God.
31:5 Before entering into a state of prayer…
(a) Grant total
forgiveness to
others as well as to yourself.
(b) Practice and
contemplate upon
unconditional love.
(c) Empty your mind by seeking naked consciousness.
This way your prayer would not be interrupted by your thoughts.
Prayer for Help
31:6 Prayer for help is the cry of a desperate man, who finds himself in a difficult, sometimes catastrophic situation, which can only be changed by supernatural means.
31:7 Through prayer for help, man is asking ‘the higher powers’ – God, benevolent spiritual beings or angels2 – to bring change by supernatural means.
31:8 The
fulfillment of prayer is related to the
following:
(a) Faith
– the
awareness of immense power of Spiritual Self.3
(b) Profound
love for God, the spiritual being or angel to whom prayer is being directed.
(c) Knowledge
of one’s true nature.
31:9 Man
should not have a need to beg God for favors. It was due to the
separation
between the Spirit of Man and the Spiritual Self that man had lost
power, and
is now no longer able to help himself.
1. A prayer must come from ones heart - the center of feelings, emotions and passions.
2. Angels are mysterious
spiritual entities
who help man on his difficult journey through life. They assist him on
a
conscious, but mostly unconscious level.
3. Which
essence is one with God. 32 Essential
Sayings of Jesus From the
New Testament The Beatitudes:
Blessed
are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed
are those
who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they
shall
inherit the earth. Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be
satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the
pure in
heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
shall be
called sons of God. Blessed
are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the
kingdom
of heaven. Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and
utter all kinds
of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for
your reward
is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before
you. You
are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its
saltness
be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out
and
trodden under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set
on a hill
cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but
on a
stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine
before
men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father
who is in
heaven.” Matthew 5:1-7
“I
will not leave you desolate; I will come to
you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will
see me;
because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I’m in my Father, and you in me, and I in
you. He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves
me; and
he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and
manifest
myself to him.” John 7:14-7 “Do not love the world or the things in the
world. If
anyone loves the world, love for the father is not in him. For all that
is in
the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye and the pride
of life,
is not of the father but is of the world. And the world passes away,
and the
lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 1
John 1:11-13 “Love your enemies, do good to those who
hate you, bless
those you curse you, pray for those who treat you badly.” Luke 2:13 “In the gnostic gospels, the human problem
that is
addressed is not sin, but rather ignorance, and hence Jesus does not
save
people from their sins, but rather communicates knowledge to address
human ignorance
and bring about enlightenment. People in
this world of mortality – this underworld – are confused,
and they have grown
forgetful, have fallen asleep, have been seduced by the deceptive
pleasures and
pains of the world. People have become
mixed up in this world of death, and they no longer remember who they
are: they have forgotten that they are
children of
the divine, with the light of the divine within.” M.Meyer “The Gospel of Thomas really is, I believe,
the clearest
guide we have to the vision of the world’s supreme mystical
revolutionary, the
teacher known as Jesus. To those who
learn to unpack its sometimes cryptic sayings, the Gospel of Thomas
offers a
naked and dazzlingly subversive representation of Jesus’ defining
and most
radical discover: that the living Kingdom of God burns in us and
surrounds us
in the glory at all moments, and the vast and passionate
love-consciousness –
what you might call “Kingdom-consciousness” – can
help birth it into
reality.” A.Harvey “Immortality is said to be the reward of
anyone who
successfully decodes Thomas’ enigmatic sayings.
The correct interpretation of the sayings is not the final goal
but the
means to the goal, the discovery of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Thomas’ Gospel is an exercise book, a list of
riddles for decoding.” S. Davies “The seeker should not stop until he finds. When he does find, he will be disturbed. After having been disturbed he will be
astonished. Then he will reign over
everything.” Logion 1 “If your leaders say to you ‘Look!
The Kingdom is in the
sky!’ then the birds will be there before you are.
If they say that the Kingdom is in the sea,
then the fish will be there before you are.
Rather, the Kingdom is within you and it is outside you.” Logion 1a “I will give you that which eyes have not
seen, ears have
not heard, hands did not touch, and minds have not conceived.”
Logion 13 “When you understand yourself you will be
understood. And you will realize that you
are Sons of the
living Father. If you do not know
yourselves, then you exist in poverty and you are that poverty.” Logion 7 From
Various Sources “God’s kingdom is spread out upon the
earth, and people do
not see it.” Simeon of Mesopotamia “Whoever
forsakes father and mother and brother and sister and wife and child
and
possessions, and bears his cross, and follows me will receive the
promises that
I have promised him. And I shall give
them the mystery of my hidden father, for they have loved what is
theirs and
have fled from the one who persecutes them violently.” Bruce Codex “His
Followers
said: “Master, who is the one who seeks and who is the one who
reveals?” The master said to them:
“The one who seeks
is also the one who reveals. Matthew
said to him: “Master when I hear and when I speak, who is the one
who speaks
and who is the one who hears?” The
master said, “The one who speaks is also the one who hears, and
the one who
sees is also the one who reveals.” Dialogue of the Saviour “Whoever seeks the world is like one who
drinks
seawater. The more he drinks the more
his thirst increases, until it kills him.”
Al-Ghazzali “If you do not fast from the world, you
will not find God’s
kingdom.” Papyrus Oxyrhynchus “Jesus said: This world is a bridge. Pass over it, but do not build your dwelling
there.” Inscription from a mosque at
Fatehpur Sikri India 33

carnality2 turns
one’s effort away from taking care of
one’s spirit towards taking care of one’s body. Old Man
from the Holy Mountain Part One 33:1 The world gives all men three
cups: the cup of
love-delusion, the cup of truth-delusion, and the cup of
beauty-delusion. Most
drink from these cups forever; few empty them… 33: 2 Truth can never be communicated with
words… Love can
never be expressed with feelings… Beauty can never be seen with
eyes… 33:3 Seek light and reject darkness.
But when you
find light, do not let it blind you. Instead, look and see that which
light had
revealed to you. 33:4
The
solitary one will never be alone… The minimalist will never lack
anything… 33:5
The wise man keeps nothing; therefore, he can receive much. Part Two 33:6 For something to exist, many
believe that
it must be experienced through the senses and/or registered by
scientific
means. This is a great error as it will prevent one from having faith
in the
existence of the Great Mystery of the invisible spiritual universe. 33:7 One cannot use language from the
dualistic
world to interpret the non-dualistic reality of the spiritual universe. 33:8
There is quality
and quantity.
Everyone learns that a yardstick is needed to measure quantity. Few
know,
however, that to measure quality a yardstick is also needed. To measure
quality, discrimination between good and bad, excellent and mediocre,
is
necessary. Part Three 33:9 One’s life in this
world will depend on
how one acts; one’s life in the world to come will depend upon
how one lives.
One must act without committing errors, and one must live without
committing
sin. 33:10 The three dark desires
inherited in the
will of man are the desires to take, to keep, and to advance at the
expense of
others. 33:11 Happy is he who is a stranger to
sin, who can
avoid errors, and who never rebels without a just cause. But beyond
happiness
is he whom sins and errors avoid, and who cannot rebel, as he is the
one
against whom the world is rebelling against. Part Four 33:12
“Turn the
other cheek…”3 This
can be a moment of awakening! 33:13
You will be truly
free when you
will no longer have a need to have a goal, and when you will no longer
have a
need to have hope. 33:14 There is no greater virtue than
humility – the
virtue which gave birth to all other virtues. Part Five 33:15
What is there you
may not see,
and what you see may not be there… 33:16
Not all questions
are valid,
not all questions have an answer. 33:17
There is no
darkness, only the
inability to see. Part Six 33:18 When you realize that you were
born for the
sake of others, you will know that you are the son of the living God. 33:19
I have sought Him
and He
came…
33:20 There is only One, and none beyond
the One… Part Seven 33:21 A sage witnesses the collapse of
the
universe. 1. A perversion of natural
human
instinct to survive.
From the Gospel of Thomas
"From the desire of being loved.
From the desire of being extolled.
From the desire of being honored.
From the desire of being praised.
From the desire of being consulted.
From the desire of being approved.
From the fear of being humiliated.
From the fear of suffering rebukes.
From the fear of being forgotten.
From the fear of being ridiculed.
From the fear of being wronged.
From the fear of being suspected.”
Litany of Humility
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth.
The Named is but the mother of ten thousand things.
Truly, only he that rids himself forever of desire can see only the
Secret
Essences;
He that has never rid himself of desire can see only the Outcomes.
These two things issue from the same Source, but nevertheless are
different in
form.
This Source we can but call the Mystery,
The Doorway whence issue all secret essences."
Lao Tzu
you must seek pleasure in nothing.
In order to arrive at possessing everything,
you must seek to possess nothing.
In order to arrive at being everything,
you must seek to be nothing.
In order to arrive at knowing everything,
you must seek to know nothing.
In order to arrive at that in which you find no pleasure,
you must go by a way in which there is no pleasure.
In order to arrive at that which you do not know,
you must go by a way you do not know.
In order to arrive at that which you do not possess,
you must go by a way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not,
you must go by a way in which you are not."
T.S. Eliot, The Ascent used in East Coker
He came without coming, and I died without dying…
This is the mystery of One!
There was neither a center nor One, until one became many…
Then many multiplied and prospered because they believed in the
existence of One.
Experiencing neither sadness nor joy he continues the walk on
his
designated path…
2. A perversion of natural human instinct to procreate.

Luke 2:8. When you turn the other cheek you are no longer reacting as a
natural
man would. You have now made a crossover
from the dualistic world to the non-dualistic world; from the kingdom
of man to
the Kingdom of God.
