Four Gates Of The Mind: The Four Gates of the Mind as portrayed in the image of the (Cathar) Cross, has often been portrayed as Earth, Water, Fire and Air -- with the Æthers being expressed as representing Spirit.  Earth portraying our lower earthly nature -- heavenly or Air portraying our upper nature -- fire or male portraying our Linear spheres of mind -- and water or female portraying the opposite inward-looking Intuitive columns of Mind of the Tree of Duality/Knowledge that must be drawn into the Center as the restored Tree of Life.  Therefore, what is allegorically portrayed as the Fall of Man, was necessary to bring about the transformative process of growth and development.  Thus, a long ignored statement is seen in the words: "For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now" (Rom 8:19-22).   Take especial notice of the words:  "...For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it  ...For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now".   Which means that what is personified as Adam and Eve did not Fall because of sin -- but rather, this allegorical Fall was imposed upon mankind in order to bring about the necessary growth and development of Mind and Spirit.   In the same way that Jesus stated that unless you bring about the next stage of birth, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven -- all of the trials of the prodigal sons in this, the Far Country, is the process of birth that was brought upon mankind by the Laws that Creator-God put into action in what is allegorically portrayed as the Seven Days of Creation -- i.e., The Octave.  If the text of the Revelation represented the end of the world, as is commonly believed by the majority of Christians today, then we must pose the question: Why are those who remain outside the city portrayed as "dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie"? Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal tribulation described as the "pangs of birth" (Matt 24:8 RVS), as a seeker endeavors to overcome his own lower carnal nature through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the flesh, in order that he can possess the Knowledge of the fruit of the Tree of Life, transcend the natural barriers of this world, and "enter through the gates into the city" -- the Gates being the "narrow gate".

In the Alpha or Beginning of Creation, Knowledge or Gnosis did not exist, because no experiential knowledge existed -- and part of the Soul became lost in the lower worlds in an attempt to begin to know self.  Therefore, God is in the process of Knowing Self, through our higher Soul-Selves -- and our higher Soul-Selves is coming to know Self through the experiences of mankind.  In the same way that birth is not possible without the joining of Male and Female, neither is the Higher Mental and Spiritual Births possible without the interaction of the polarities of Male and Female.  And in the allegorical account of Genesis, Eve or Woman was drawn from the side of Man, because the division of Self was necessary to bring about growth and transformation through the interaction of the opposite polarities of Mind (see The Restoral Of Adam And Eve http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#RestoralOfAdamEve ).   

Where the bio-energy that fuels Consciousness begins in Wholeness when generated by the Source (God) -- remains Whole as it moves through the Higher Soul-Self -- it becomes divided when projected through the Seven spiritual centers and the Twelve Spheres of the Mind of man as patterned in the Tree of Life.  This bio-energy is necessary for thought and consciousness -- which is necessary for the experiences in this world that develops the mind of mankind through the interaction of opposites.  A thought or impression that is Whole, brings together each of the segments from the Four Gates of the Mind that restores the bio-energy to Wholeness.   The mind does not grow and expand in jumps. The mind evolves beyond organic levels of consciousness step by step -- level upon level -- each impression or thought providing the bio-energy to expand and deepen the development of the mind -- i.e., "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little" (Isa 28:9-10).  But, in order for the thought or impression to enter into the "narrow gate" where the developmental growth of mind and spirit can take place, the thought or impression must possess the Wholeness that brings the Four Gates of the Mind together -- as expressed in the image at the right -- with equal segments combined from the earthly and its opposite in the heavenly, and the opposite male and female spheres of mind.  And without this balanced wholeness, the vital life-force can only be expelled out into Nature and lost.   In the parable of the prodigal son, this loss of bio-energy is portrayed as the loss of inheritance (Luke 15:13) on "riotous living".  Why is the inheritance of the prodigal son portrayed as being lost?  Without Balanced Wholeness, the bio-energy is subject to the twisting of the Law of Octaves (see The Laws Of Nature And The Law of Octaves http://TheLawOfOctaves.com/#TwistingOfTheOctaves ), and cannot grow and transform the mind beyond the level of organic human consciousness. 

Where the bio-energy emitted by the Soul is balanced and Whole prior to entering into the organic consciousness of the person we are in this world, it is divided by the seven spiritual centers and the twelve spheres of mind as patterned in the Tree of Life.  The mind that evolves beyond organic comprehension, must bring the division of the Seven and the Twelve into Wholeness and Oneness.  Thoughts that are comprised of equal aspects from each of the four gates -- uniting the Earthly with the Heavenly -- drawn into the Center by the Feminine-Intuitive and the Masculine-Linear -- achieving the necessary Wholeness that bridges the divided natures of the mind -- and when balanced and whole, only then are these thoughts able to enter into and through the "narrow gate" and bring about the transformational mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening of the mind.  When one of the elements are missing from, or out of balance in the thought-equation -- lacking what is signified in the earthly with the heavenly, and the male with the female -- the progression of the Octaves twist (see The Twisting of Law at the Third Interval http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Third ), and the bio-energy or vital life-force is diverted off into nature and lost. 

The three Male and three Female spheres of mind that manifest the Tree of Duality (see Tree of Life http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org ), must function together in Oneness, to rejoin the upper heavenly and the lower earthly spheres of mind in Wholeness.  The three lower-earthly kingdoms are the opposite half or polarity of the three upper-heavenly kingdoms.  What this means is that the three male linear spheres of mind, must work in conjunction with the three feminine intuitive spheres of mind, to connect the upper-heavenly with the lower-earthly -- bringing about the transformative process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening, by channeling the vital life-force which carries the balanced and whole thoughts and impressions of the person through the center "narrow gate".   

What is absent from the Meme on the left, is the development of the earthly and the heavenly spheres of mind.  While it is true that the male and female spheres of mind must achieve Full Maturity, so too must the Earthly and Heavenly Spheres of Mind be joined -- i.e., the Heavenly Kingdom coming upon the Earthly Kingdom.  And therein lies the problem with many religious systems which attempt to negate or even sacrifice the development of the earthly to acquire higher vision and appear spiritual.  Only when it is understood that the lower Earthly is the opposite half or polarity of the upper Heavenly, can we realize that the lack of the development of the Earthly will negate any degree of Wholeness.  The author and visionary Philip K. Dick was able to recall his Soul's previous life in the first century where he lived as an original follower of Jesus.  He also wrote with respect to the original disciples of Jesus that:  "Christ ...taught his followers how to enter the kingdom while still alive, where other mystery religions only bring about amnesis: knowledge of it at the 'other time' in 'the other realm,' not here.  He causes it to come here, and is the living agency to the Sole Good God (i.e. the Logos)."    These other mystery religions that Philip Dick was making reference to, sacrificed the earthly in order to achieve amnesis insights and vision.  Under the heading of Anamnesis (Philosophy), the Wikipedia states: It is the idea that humans possess knowledge from past incarnations and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge within us".  The article then goes on to say: Socrates' response is to develop his theory of anamnesis. He suggests that the soul is immortal, and repeatedly incarnated; knowledge is actually in the soul from eternity...  What one perceives to be learning, then, is actually the recovery of what one has forgotten. (Once it has been brought back it is true belief, to be turned into genuine knowledge by understanding.) And thus Socrates (and Plato) sees himself, not as a teacher, but as a midwife, aiding with the birth of knowledge that was already there in the student. 

While higher vision can be achieved via Anamnesis through the focus on the third-eye associated with the sixth spiritual center -- as well as the raising of what is portrayed as the kundalini energy from the base of the spine into the upper spiritual centers.  The limitation of what Philip K. Dick portrayed as the Mystery Religions is presented in his words when he referenced these  "...other mystery religions only bring about amnesis: knowledge of it at the 'other time' in 'the other realm,' not here."   Many of these mystery religions claim the the goal is to "get above the mind" -- thereby leaving the mind itself undeveloped.  What was the basis of Philip Dick's assessment?  While Giordano Bruno was bunt at the stake for teaching Christians the Original Gospel concepts and teachings that were suppressed by the Church (see The Restored Gospel Teachings http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ), the account of Philip K. Dick reveals to seekers the purpose of the allegorical catalysts used in the scriptures to connect the person we are in this world with our Higher Source of Being.   Like my own recall of my Soul's previous life as Jacob who they call James, the Brother of Yeshua who they call Jesus (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org ), Philip K. Dick possessed degrees of past life recall.   Quoting Philip Dick's account:  "When a delivery person from the pharmacy brought his pain medication, he noticed the ichthys necklace she wore and asked her what it meant. She responded that it was a symbol used by the early Christians, and in that moment Dick's religious experiences began:  Thus, the image of the early Christian symbol acted as a catalyst that initiated recall of his Soul's previous life as a first century Christian of which he wrote:

"In that instant, as I stared at the gleaming fish sign and heard her words, I suddenly experienced what I later learned is called anamnesis—a Greek word meaning, literally, "loss of forgetfulness." I remembered who I was and where I was. In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, it all came back to me. And not only could I remember it but I could see it. The girl was a secret Christian and so was I. We lived in fear of detection by the Romans. We had to communicate with cryptic signs. She had just told me all this, and it was true.  For a short time, as hard as this is to believe or explain, I saw fading into view the black, prison like contours of hateful Rome. But, of much more importance, I remembered Jesus, who had just recently been with us, and had gone temporarily away, and would very soon return. My emotion was one of joy. We were secretly preparing to welcome Him back. It would not be long. And the Romans did not know. They thought He was dead, forever dead. That was our great secret, our joyous knowledge. Despite all appearances, Christ was going to return, and our delight and anticipation were boundless."

The Fundamentalists who are of a physical-only three-dimensional mindset, can only grasp the text of the written words of the scriptures.  But the scriptures were composed by mystics who viewed this world as a type of prison that held mankind captive in a world of shadow-images as portrayed in the analogy of Plato's Cave (see Plato's Cave http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#Cave ). The Dead Sea Scrolls have proven that the foundation of the Gospel teachings was borne out of the Essenes -- and the portrayal of the physical as a prison is demonstrated in the words of Josephus who was a contemporary of the man Jesus who lived among the Essenes and stated that they (Essenes) “…resigned up their souls with great alacrity, as expecting to receive them again.  For their doctrine is this, that bodies are corruptible, and that the matter they are made of is not permanent; but that the souls are immortal, and continue for ever; and that they came out of the most subtle air, and are united to their bodies as to prisons, into which they are drawn by a certain natural enticement; but that when they are set free from the bonds of flesh, they then, as released from a long bondage, rejoice and mount upward...”.  The Hastings-Scribner Dictionary Of The Bible (New York, 1903. Bk 4, p. 63) "To affirm that Jews in Christ's time did not believe in pre-existence is simply incorrect". 

When Philip Dick made the statement that, unlike the Mystery religions, the understanding of the Law and the Gospel teachings were designed to manifest the Kingdom of Heaven upon the Earthly through Wholeness achieved through the knowledge of the Laws -- i.e., "Christ ...taught his followers how to enter the kingdom while still alive, ...He causes it to come here, and is the living agency to the Sole Good God (i.e. the Logos)."   This is true -- and that the original Gospel message was to develop the mind through the transformative process of expansion and deepening of consciousness, and then enable the disciple of TheWay to gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom, is easily demonstrated in the quotations on the proper use of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge (see The Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge ).   Philip K. Dick referenced a difference between the Gospel teachings of Jesus in relation to what he portrayed as the Mystery Religions because of this primary difference in the Gospel path.  Instead of the exclusive focus on the upper, wholeness and achieving the subsequent stages of birth requires that each of the twelve spheres of mind be evolved to the degree where Oneness is achieved.  Most Mystery and Eastern Religions attempt to suppress the lower centers while their focus is on gazing through the upper sixth spiritual center (chakra).   Whereas, the scriptures and the living of a holistic lifestyle in a spiritual community focuses on the development of the Whole Self.     All the Power in this world is manifest in the Lower Earthly Centers.  While the upper centers can provide higher insight, it is the lower centers that enable the person to bring about alchemical change and transformation of the base (lead) into gold -- which is necessary to bring about Wholeness.  

When each thought draws through the portals or four gates of the Mind in the Tree of Life as patterned in the teaching -- "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; ...then will you enter the kingdom." But what this teaching in the Gospel of Thomas is missing is preserved in the version of the same teaching found in the Gospel of the Nazirenes which reads: And one of the disciples asked him, "How shall a man enter into the Kingdom?" And he answered and said, "If you don't make below as the above, and the left as the right, and the behind as the before, entering into the center and passing into the spirit, you will not enter into the kingdom of God."  The left and right are of course the male/female outer columns of the Tree of Life/Knowledge. And after bringing together and joining the duality of the above (heavenly) and the below (earthly), and in understanding the outer as a reflection of the inner, only then can this balanced wholeness enter "...into the center and passing into the spirit". The bio-energy rides upon the impressions and the thoughts of the mind -- with the vital life-force that is not balanced and made whole, lost into nature. The vital life-force that is balanced and made whole, is able to be drawn into the Center and can then be used in the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening.

It is the fruit of the Tree of Life that is the source of the Divine Manna that nourishes the mind and brings about spiritual advancement that provides access and entrance into the Edenic Kingdom.  That the Tree of Life is a reality of Higher Mind that all of mankind can gain access to, and be nourished by the Divine Manna and life-giving fruit thereof, is demonstrated in the statement in the Revelation: "'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God'" (Rev 2:7). 

When it was stated, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6), reference was not made pertaining to knowledge that a person learns and is taught by others -- but rather,  the self-knowledge that one must understand to make the inner Journey in TheWay where the believer can be nourished by the fruit of the Tree of Life.  In fact, this Spiritual Nourishment that cannot be received in the outer world -- is the meaning of the words: "Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates" (Rev 22:14).  So, by "washing and purifying our physical self and detaching ourselves from the thinking and lifestyle of this world", we begin to be nourished by the fruit of the Tree of Life.   "To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna" (Rev 2:8-17), this "hidden manna" is the the Sacred Knowledge or the Divine Manna that can only be imparted to the seeker directly from the Indwelling Logos and True Prophet (see The One Teacher) -- who is the ONLY TEACHER that Jesus commanded to seek out and learn from. 

He who overcomes, are those who overcome their own inner division and duality of the four gates of the mind as patterned in the twelve points portrayed in the Cathar Cross.  That one must therefore overcome the twisting of the Law of Octaves, is why the original followers and disciples of Jesus witnessed to the fact that the historical man Jesus achieved the Anointing of the Mind (Messiah/Christ), and "...was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity" (see Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34).  Further witnessing to the reality that when a person  "...thus fulfills the law, they are able to become Christs."  (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34).  Fulfilling the Law can only be accomplished when your mind is nourished by thoughts and impressions that are Whole, and can be channeled through the "narrow gate" in the Center of your Mind and Being -- i.e., "They that are whole have no need of the physician, ...I came not to call the righteous".  Those thoughts and impressions that lack the necessary Wholeness, are diverted out of the Center and lost into nature -- portrayed in the parable of the prodigal son as having squandered away their inheritance on "riotous" living -- expelling their bio-energy on the things of this world.

Our Higher Soul-Self which is our True-Self that is our twelve-dimensional pre-existent Soul that came into existence in the Alpha of Creation as a spark of the Divine Mind (see The Evolving Soul http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#TheEvolvingSoul ), sees all things in Wholeness and Oneness.  Our Higher Soul-Self is a Being of Light -- i.e., "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4).  How?  In the twelve-dimensional Realm of the Soul, the opposite polarities of Male and Female, in conjunction with the opposite polarities of Heaven and Earth, all exist in Balanced Oneness.  What then is the source of the division of man and creation?  White Light is comprised of the Seven Colors of the Rainbow -- which in Music, equates to the seven notes of the Octave -- and as the vital life-force becomes divided across the spectrum of the Seven Spiritual Centers of the three-dimensional physical -- wherein the bio-energy enters into our own body through the seven spiritual centers and the twelve spheres of the mind as patterned in the Tree of Life.  Therefore, to grow and expand the Mind, we must restore the Oneness of the White Light bio-energy flow as it is channeled through the Mind and into the Center -- wherein it is then used to bring about the mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening of our Consciousness. Therefore, only when our Thoughts and Impressions are themselves balanced and Whole, can these Thoughts and Impressions bring about the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening.

Intellect is the result of seeing and understanding the diversity of all things. As stated in the 90th Chapter of The Gospel of the Nazirenes which preserves this higher reality that plagues organic physical man: "The One truth has many sides, and one sees one side only, another, and some see more than others, according as it is given to them. Behold this crystal; how the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yea four times twelve, and each face reflects one ray of light, and one regards one face, and another, another, but it is the one crystal, and the one light that shines in all." Organic man is only capable of seeing one side, as patterned in the twelve faces of the crystal.   Wholeness requires the harmonization of the perceptive vision of each of the twelve spheres of mind onto a higher plane of Comprehension.  In the image of the Cathar Cross at the left, the twelve spheres of mind are portrayed in the Heavenly/Upper Triad -- which is the opposite half or polarity of the Earthly/Lower Triad -- which must be brought together in the Unity of the Feminine/Left Triad with the Masculine/Right Triad -- and channeled in Wholeness into the Center Narrow Gate of the Center-Love Sphere of the Tree of Life. 

Man kind is portrayed as having been created in the Image of God.  God is therefore the Consciousness of Creation.  But Consciousness is not spawned out of nothing.  Consciousness requires a Positive/Male polarity that is portrayed as our Heavenly Father, which interacts with a Negative/Female polarity that is portrayed as our Heavenly Mother, which interaction manifests the Third-Force Balance portrayed as the Logos or Mind of God -- portrayed as the Son of God.  All Souls came into being as sparks of the Divine Mind -- and in the same way that Intelligence requires all realities to be perceived from different perspectives, all Souls are as a Single Neuron in the Mind (Logos) of God.  But for each Soul to possess the necessary Intelligence to perceive and understand, the Divine Pattern must be expressed into each Soul -- which is imbued with a diverse series of neurons as represented in each life that the Soul has lived.  The Mind of God is evolving through the diverse experiences of the Souls that each are as a Single Neuron in the Divine Mind.  Each Soul is evolving through the experiences of mankind in this and other worlds.  Where the Soul which is a Being of Light dwells in a twelve-dimensional Higher Reality, all growth is brought about through the interaction of the Opposite Polarities of this three-dimensional realm -- i.e., male and female, heavenly and earthly. 

 Wholeness And Same-Sex Unions: The scriptures are composed and written for the spiritual advancement of serious seekers.  Sex, from the perspective of the majority of people, is not a sin so long as the sexual act  is not coerced or forced in any manner.  The scriptures reject same-sex unions because the opposite polarities of male and female do not exist in the relationship, and therefore cannot dynamically interact to bringing about the next stage of birth (see The Process Of Birth Within The Tree Of Life http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#foundation ).  Birth in the scriptures is not representative of physical birth -- but rather, the subsequent stages of Soul and Spiritual birth.  And in the same way that a sperm and ovum must merge into a single embryo, so too must a man and woman who are two halves of the whole, must merge to form a Spiritual Embryo. 

As portrayed in the parable of the prodigal son, the loss of inheritance is the loss of the Generative Power that must be received by the Reflective-Feminine Polarity, raised up to a Higher Level within the Feminine, and returned back to the Male-Polarity.   As the lost prodigal sons and daughters, how we utilize the Inheritance as the divine offspring of our Heavenly Father and Mother God, will greatly determine what we are able to accomplish in this life.   The polarities of male and female are half of the whole -- and therefore mankind is imbued with the desire to seek Wholeness through the sexual joining of the two halves.  Most men have little to no control over their need for sexual energy release.  Therefore, so long as the sex act is not coerced or forced, then sex is not a sin.  BUT, how each of us uses the power of sex, can and does impact every aspect of the lives that we live. 

Woman is the most immediate savior of man -- and is the the other half or polarity of man.  Sexual immorality inhibits her ability to fulfill her Divine Feminine Role of Higher Reality (see Sexual Immorality  http://SoulSelf.org#SexualImmorality ).  As half of -- and opposite polarities of the Whole -- man and woman are the embodiment of the outer columns of the Tree of Life that must bring about Wholeness through their interaction (see The Process Of Birth Within The Tree Of Life http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#foundation ).  In the same way that a sperm cannot be joined with another sperm -- and an ovum cannot be joined with another ovum -- the joining and evolving of Mind and Spirit can only take place in the dynamic union of the opposite polarities of male and female functioning together as ONE-- as portrayed in the Gospel of Thomas: "Jesus said to them, When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; ...then will you enter the kingdom" (see The Gospel Enigma That Modern Christians Can't Comprehend http://GospelOfThomas.Nazirene.org#GospelEnigma ).   And while there can be same-sex unions that are more committed and loving than many opposite-sex unions, without the joining of the opposite polarities, the next stage of birth cannot be achieved. 

Edgar Cayce And The Law Of Octaves:

Edgar Cayce was a sincere Christian who God bestowed the ability to gaze into the higher Soul-Reality of mankind.  And if you are a sincere Christian who is a genuine follower of the Original Gospel teachings, then you will understand why Edgar Cayce stated: "If you learn music, you'll learn most all there is to know".  Why?  Because if you understand the image of the meme, you will see the image of the Natural Laws that the Deist Constitutional Framers of the United States portrayed as "The Law of Nature and Nature's God" -- which Natural Law can better be portrayed as the enigma of The Law of Octaves.  Why is The Law of Nature and Nature's God and the statement of Edgar Cayce an enigma that portrays the Law of Octaves?  If you were to do a Google search on The Law of Octaves -- and search through meaningless commentary of intellectuals who have no idea as to why Edgar Cayce made such a statement -- eventually you might come upon the only source that can convey and reveal to you the great wisdom in the statement of Cayce -- and that is The Law of Octaves, which you can find at http://TheLawOfOctaves.com .   That Jesus taught his disciples the enigma of the Law of Octaves is the only reason it can be stated: "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (Luke 24:45).  Why would I make such a seemingly profound statement?  Because it is impossible to understand the spiritual meaning of the scriptures and the higher reality of the Kingdom of God, without understanding the Law as portrayed in The Law of Octaves. 

Nikola Tesla made the statement: "If you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration"  Why?  Pythagoras was the first to openly portray the Law of Octaves as the key to higher understanding.  When it is understood that according to Pythagoras, the universe cannot exist without numbers -- and that numbers equate to energy, frequency and vibration, it is then understood why Pythagoras stated that mathematical numbers hold the meaning of life and existence. More specifically, we can then begin to comprehend why Pythagoras confirmed the findings of modern quantum physics and the reality that rational numbers which built the universe was sacred and unquestionable.  One of Pythagoras’s most important contributions to the development of philosophy was the idea that abstract thinking is superior to the evidence of the senses. This was taken up by Plato in his theory of Forms, and resurfaced in the philosophical method of the rationalists in the 17th cent u r y.  The Pythagorian attempt to combine the rational with the religious was the first attempt to grapple with a problem that has dogged philosophy and religion in some ways ever since.

Science has proven the wisdom of Mystics such as Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato and ultimately the man Jesus (see The Findings Of The Physicist http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#FindingsOfThePhysicist ).  Modern science has also confirmed statement of Nikola Tesla, and has proven that physical matter and all that exists in this realm, is being projected from a higher Spiritual Reality that is not seen or observed with man's physical eyes and senses.  Why can't organic man see and comprehend his own Source of Mind and Being?  Because the frequency of his organic physical consciousness is functioning on an earth frequency and vibration.  When physicist Walter Thirring stated in his book, Urbausteine der Materie about the nature and reality of physical matter that modern physics “...has put our thinking about the essence of matter in a different context.   It has taken our gaze from the visible - the particles - to the underlying entity, the field.   The presence of matter is merely a disturbance of the perfect state of the field at that place; something accidental, one could almost say, a ‘blemish’.   Accordingly, there are no simple laws describing the forces between elementary particles… Order and symmetry must be sought in the underlying field” -- what he was confirming is that what man sees with his physical eyes, is an image that has been projected into this world of appearances from an UNSEEN CAUSAL FIELD.  In the same way, Einstein experienced shock when he first came into contact with the new emerging reality of atomic physics, and wrote in his autobiography: “All my attempts to adapt the theoretical foundation of physics to this [new type of] knowledge failed completely. It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere, upon which one could have built”.  In much the same fashion, the European physicist Niels Bohr stated that “…The great extension of our experience in recent years has brought to light the insufficiency of our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a consequence, has shaken the foundation on which the customary interpretation of observation was based.”  What this means is exactly as stated by Einstein when he stated: “We may therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense… There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality” (quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary Physics).  What is being stated is that the primary focus of science where only what was seen with one's physical eyes, has now been rendered inadequate and incomplete -- it being focused totally on observable matter -- because the emerging body of facts and evidence now demonstrates that what we perceive physically, is a projection from an UNSEEN Source where True Reality exists. 

While there are those who claim that Albert Einstein said: "We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music" -- snopes claims to correct that statement wherein they say that Einstein instead stated “We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly,” And adds that Einstein said on another occasion: “Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations.”  Why are our minds portrayed as limited to the degree that organic man cannot understand his own higher reality?  And how did the spiritual geniuses of the past understand what modern man cannot?  The answer is in the statement of Nikola Tesla when he said: "If you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration"

Jesus taught his disciples how the Law as manifest in The Law of Octaves, functions to bring about the transformative process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening.  And because his disciples had applied this knowledge to their lives, to them he said: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand” (Mark 4:11-12).  Why was it said of the consciousness of organic man that "...seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand”?  Because their frequency and vibration" of mind was embedded in the lower physical realities, which did not permit them to see or understand the higher frequency realities beyond the vibration of the earth and physical matter. 

If you are a genuine Christian you would understand the wisdom with respect to the Natural Laws where it is stated: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 5:17-20).   If you believe that Jesus was wrong, and the Law was "nailed to the cross", then there is no way to help you to understand anything beyond the purely superficial.  But, if you are a sincere follower of the Gospel teachings, you will understand why those original followers of Jesus who walked and talked with him daily, are the sole witnesses to the fact that Jesus "...was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity" (see Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34).    What they are witnessing to is the reality that Jesus was a true holy man who so fully fulfilled the Law, that he was in “...supernatural union of a man and God... In their eyes, Jesus of Nazareth was a mere mortal, the legitimate son of Joseph and Mary: but he was the best and wisest of the human race, selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon earth the worship of the true and supreme Deity. When he was baptized in the Jordan, the Christ, the first of the aeons, the Son of God himself, descended on Jesus in the form of a dove, to inhabit his mind, and direct his actions during the allotted period of his ministry” (Gibbon; The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, V.4, P.366). 

It remains impossible for modern believers to fulfill the Law that they have absolutely no understanding of.  And with respect to the statement that "...unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" -- Jesus portrayed the "scribes and Pharisees" as blind guides who led the people in the wrong direction -- which is the reason why Jesus portrayed them as "the devil's spawn" (see Christianity - The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com ).  And the fact that other people had themselves fulfilled the Law and became Whole, is confirmed in the statement: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).   Before this verse can be understood, we must first understand what it means to be Whole.   Which provokes the question: How is Wholeness achieved?   Contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong, and those who are Whole do not need him.  And as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who are Whole, but only for those who are sick and in need of a physician.   And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole [and] righteous" who did not need Jesus the physician.  Jesus openly states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they achieved the necessary Wholeness without him. 

That the original Ebionite followers of Jesus -- like their Essene forerunners -- understood the allegorical nature of the written words of the Torah -- and did not observe it in the manner of the Pharisees -- is the reason why the early Church writer Epiphanius wrote that the Ebionites "..do not accept Moses' Pentateuch in its entirety; certain sayings they reject... stating Christ has revealed this to me, and will blaspheme most of the legislation" (Panarion 30.18.7-9).   For them to be accused of "blaspheming most of the legislation", means that they did not at all observe the Torah outwardly in accordance with the letter of the written word in the manner of the Jews -- but rather, they understood the allegorical symbolism that was applicable to unlocking the inner door to the Kingdom (Luke 17:20-21).   With respect to the spiritual meaning of the Law, it should alarm modern Christians that in some of the ancient biblical codex's is found a statement of Jesus that has also recently been confirmed in the newly discovered Gospel of Thomas in what is now known as the Nag Hammidi Library. In this codex the Gospel of Luke contains the verses: "On the same day, He (Jesus) beholding a man laboring on the Sabbath, said to him: Man if thou knowest what thou doest, blessed art thou; if however thou dost not know, cursed art thou and a transgressor of the law".  Thus, what is being stated?  If you know the spiritual meaning of the Sabbath -- then you are not held accountable for "blaspheming ...the legislation".  But if you don't know the spiritual meaning of the Sabbath, then you are "cursed ...and a transgressor of the law".  So, with respect to the reason as to why the Ebionites continued to embrace the Torah and the Spiritual Observance of the Law?   Because the scriptures are the means to bring about the necessary expansion and deepening of mind by using the allegorical symbols as catalysts that can't be expressed literally, and have the capacity to develop the Intuitive spheres of mind which enabled them to gain access to their Inner Source of Knowledge that possesses the transformational power that enables the seeker to become Spiritual Israel (see The Purpose Of The Scriptures http://GospelCosmology.Ebionite.com#PurposeOfTheScriptures ).      

It is stated with respect to the Natural Law: "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth" (Gen 9:13).  Why?  What does it mean?  The few Christians who do comprehend sign of the rainbow, will also comprehend the words of Edgar Cayce as confirming the statement of Jesus with respect to the fulfillment of the Law, and these few people will understand (1) why the colors of the keyboard coincides with the colors of the rainbow; (2) why the colors of the Spiritual Centers (chakra) coincide with the colors of the rainbow; (3) why there is no sharp or flat note between the third to fourth projected interval of the keyboard; (4) and why there is no sharp or flat note between the projected seventh to eighth interval.  And if you knew the reason why these intervals exist in the Natural Laws of Creation, and the effect they have on your own consciousness, then you would possess the knowledge of "...all there is to know"

Ernest Holmes once made the statement: "The Great spiritual geniuses, whether it was Moses, Buddha, Plato, Socrates, Jesus or Emerson... have taught man to look within himself to find God" -- but how does a person "...look within himself to find God"?  They must understand the Law as physically manifest in what Pythagoras and other spiritual geniuses portrayed as The Law of Octaves.  That the original followers of Jesus understood the Law, while the masses of people who came to hear him teach did not, was the reason that it was said of Jesus: "And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.  But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples" (Mark 4:33-34).   Why couldn't Jesus explain the deeper meaning of the scriptures and the Mysteries of the Kingdom to the multitude of people who came to listen to his teachings?  Because in not understanding the Law, they never applied the tenets of the Law to their mind and consciousness, and they therefore could not comprehend the Mysteries of the Kingdom. 

The original Ebionite Nazirene disciples and followers of Jesus were condemned as heretics -- portrayed as "too Jewish" to understand the meaning of the Gospel -- i.e., “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416).    Further, the Spiritual (Gentile) Christians who understood the important purpose of the scriptures as a catalyst to develop the mind and enable the seeker/believer to begin to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom, were condemned as Gnostic heretics -- hunted down, their scriptures destroyed and those who did not embrace the religion of the emperor, were put to death.  Were the original Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus heretics?  Too Jewish to understand the very mystical Gospels which they authored?  What offended the Gentiles the most, was their assertion that the Royal Law was still in effect.  But because many of the Gentiles did not understand the allegorical meaning of the scriptures -- or the inner spiritual meaning of the Law -- they created excuses for their ignorance when they embraced doctrines such as the Law was nailed to the cross, and is no longer in effect -- thereby rendering the Church the least in the Kingdom as personified in the words: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets ...Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 5:17-20).  While the spiritual meaning of the Law has been restored at http://TheLawOfOctaves.com , of ultra importance is an understanding of the nature of the Cross which everyone must embrace in their own crucifixion (see The Cross You Must Bear To Your Own Crucifixion  http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#TheCross ).  And without an understanding of the spiritual meaning of the Cross, it will remain impossible for modern Christians to enter in at the "narrow gate", and gain entrance into the Kingdom and inherit the Promise of the Gospels -- i.e., as forewarned in the following:

Thus, in understanding of The Law of Octaves and its intimate effect on everyone's development, you would understand why Edgar Cayce stated: "If you learn music, you'll learn most all there is to know".   

"From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being." Baal Shem Tov

I have been married to the same Soul (woman) over the course of thousands of years going all the way back to Atlantis (see The Heritage Of Jesus https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-heritage-of-jesus-does-race-and.html ) -- and we have spiritually evolved together over the course of many lives together. We have lived lives together where we both achieved the subsequent stage of Soul-Birth where we walked the earth as our True-Selves -- i.e., a Being of Light ( http://BeingOfLight.com ).  From an Eastern perspective, that would make my wife a Buddhi  or female Buddha or Enlightened One.  And because my wife's Feminine abilities were developed beyond organic levels of human consciousness, she became a Spiritual Empath -- even possessing the ability to Jump-Time.  Because the enigma of Time is a subject that is virtually impossible for the mind of organic man to comprehend, I will merely set a link to where Time as a dimension of Soul-Mind can be explored at (see The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man http://SoulSelf.org#EnigmaOfTime ).

Few people can comprehend the reality of Time as a dimension of Soul-Mind, because they don't understand that each life the Soul incarnates into, is as a Breath of the Soul (see Soul-Breath And The Common Ground Of The Fourth Kingdom http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#TheCommonGround ).  And because what we call Time is a dimension of Soul-Mind, each Soul-Breath or Incarnation is unique to all the other lives the Soul has incarnated as.  Which means that each personality that the Soul incarnates as, is not only a UNIQUE soul-generated personality that is manifest in a given Time-Frame, but that each of these earthly personalities who must return to their Source in the Higher Reality of the Soul, continues to dwell within what can be portrayed as the Soul Mind-Matrix.  But thus the problem is seen in the fact that it is virtually impossible to convey to the multitude of people the higher reality of the Soul and the generation of unique personalities across the dimension of Time.  Why?  As explained in the previous subheading (quoting): the fact that our physical consciousness is locked into a Linear-Mode of time-perception -- which is virtually blind to the paradoxical Intuitive-Cyclic perception of Time -- or the higher reality of Time where the Linear-Mode and the Intuitive-Cyclic mode come together as ONE -- indicates that the vast majority of people are being deceived by their own limited perceptive-understanding.  The article also makes the point to state that since Time is a dimension of Soul-Mind -- that not only communication between soul-personalities can be achieved, but that a form of Time-Travel would be possible where the scientific article stated that, "Once you try to wrap your head around this theory, you’ll begin to realize that it could also change the way we think of time travel."   While it also points out that because on one level, all periods of Time are taking place simultaneously, that you can't change the past.  But what is not understood is the fact that (1) all the soul-generated personalities dwell within the Soul Mind-Matrix; (2) which means that at a certain point in your own evolutionary development, you can communicate with the previous personalities or "images" that your Soul has lived as; (3) and in certain cases, these former personalities can jump Time, and consciously manifest in the present -- in the physical body that the same Soul is presently living in, in a different time-frame.  That all the lives which the Soul has lived is dwelling in a parallel higher reality, is now realized by modern cutting-edge science (see Present And Future Exist At The Same Time ). 

Can former soul-generated personalities Jump-Time or Time-Travel from the time-frame in which they lived -- or, more correctly, are presently manifest -- into the present?  Further quoting the previous subheading: In the case of a husband and wife who have in their previous lives together, attained and manifested a Coverture-Marriage together, and have achieved the next stage of Soul-Birth together in a former life -- this enables them to Jump-Time -- where a former personality can manifest in the present, while the present personality is brought back up into the Higher Soul-Self.  My wife and I have lived many lives where we became One in a Coverture-Marriage, and were able to achieve the next subsequent stage of birth together within that Marriage.  And since our past accomplishments are restored back to us in the present -- i.e., in the words of the pre-Nicene Church Father Origen: “Every Soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis) -- because we had achieved the next subsequent stage of birth in conjunction with the manifestation of a Coverture-Marriage, all the highly advanced spiritual abilities we achieved in our previous lives together, was restored as we developed and resumed our relationship in the present.  Which included my wife's ability to directly access her previous personalities where we were together -- thereby enabling her former personalities to Jump-Time and re-manifest in the present.   Thus, my wife was able to manifest her previous personalities where we were together, when my wife was an Essene in the first century, an Ebionite in the fourth century, as well as a number of other personalities where together we were manifest in a Spiritual Coverture-Marriage.   In the teaching of Gospel of Thomas saying 84 where all the former personalities or images the Soul lived as remain manifest in the Soul Mind-Matrix (see The Evolving Soul http://SoulSelf.org#TheEvolvingSoul ), as the seeker spiritually matures and begins to draw nearer to their Higher Soul-Self, that person is then able to communicate with their Soul's previous personalities/images -- as stated by St. Teresa of Avila in the reality that "The soul...", writes St. Teresa, is as “a castle made of a single diamond… in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions” (Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila).  What St. Teresa is saying is that the Soul is as a castle, wherein all the personalities which that Soul lived as, each has a room or place within the Soul. 

Those who achieve the next stage of Soul-Birth, are able to hold council in a state of Higher-Consciousness, wherein they can simultaneously converse with all the personalities their Soul has lived as -- drawing upon the experiences of their Soul-Personalities throughout the ages across the spectrum of Time -- thereby enabling them to bypass the error and corruption of man's institutions of church, state and philosophy.   Therefore, anyone who believes that they have achieved the next stage of birth and is unaware of the previous lives their Soul has lived, is gravely deceived. 

When a Soul-Seeker Husband and Wife work to develop their Marriage Partner -- with the husband working to develop the unique Feminine-Intuitive abilities of his wife -- and the wife working to develop the opposite abilities of her husband -- not only do these abilities follow them from life to life, but became inherited whenever their Marriage Union is restored in future lives together.  When a man seeks to develop the Feminine-Intuitive spheres of his wife's mind -- not teacher her how he perceptively-thinks -- but rather, exploring his wife's opposite abilities and assisting her in achieving Wholeness -- his wife as a surrogate for her husband's Intuitive abilities, develops her husband's latent Intuitive abilities -- and this is why Woman Is Man's Help-Meet And Savior http://SoulSelf.org#HelpMeet.  Which means that from the perspective of their Marriage-Union, the Soul-Seeker Husband and Wife not only inherits all that they accomplished together over the course of all their lives together, but that these abilities negate the need for scriptures, teachers or any variety of masters in this world.   In becoming the embodiment of Absolute Oneness, they become self-generating Beings of Light and Intellectual Manifestation.  The only limitations on man and woman who enter into a Divine Marriage, are the limits they invoke upon themselves.

Is there another side or dimension of marriage that few men and women are capable of understanding?  In the allegorical Genesis account man and woman came into being when woman was drawn from and separated from man -- which means that in their Natural State, Male and Female are At-One.   And this Unity of Man and Woman was acknowledged when Jesus said: “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matt 19:4-6).  And this Higher Unity of Man and Woman was confirmed in The Second Epistle of Clement where this ultra-important teaching that was removed from the Gospels modern Christians use is quoted as stating: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour, the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.   What Clement -- the disciple of Peter who is claimed by the Church as the fourth pope in succession of Peter -- is stating in accord with the Original teachings is that when the seeker/believer brings this condition about within their own Mind and Being, that the predicted and expected Kingdom will come within them as promised -- as stated in Jesus' teachings on the Key of Knowledge (see The Third Fatal Mistake - Not Proving The Truth).

It is important to recognize that when Clement wrote the above in his Epistle to a congregation of Christians, he did so in the expectation that the people to whom he was writing would understand the great truths he was presenting to them -- i.e., that the Kingdom or End Times would and could only come when "...two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.   And the fact that this statement that is also in the Gospel of Thomas and was contained in a first century Epistle from an elder to a congregation of believers in that time-frame, could not be contained and understood in a letter or epistle to a congregation today, is merely one example of the fact that the dogma and thinking of the modern Church has virtually nothing in common with the original teachings of Jesus known as TheWay (see The Original Teachings Have Nothing In Common With Church Dogma http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#OriginalTeachings ).   Which provokes the question: Has the requirements to enter the Kingdom changed in order to accommodate the dogmatic corruption of the Church?   Has Truth and Higher Spiritual Reality been discarded and thrown away, because the Church threw this body of essential Knowledge pertaining to the Coming of the Kingdom away?   Or, does modern Christians dwell in a self-imposed Diaspora of abject Spiritual Ignorance which was brought about by the massive corruption of the scriptures (see BibleCorruption.com ), and the suppression of the body of essential knowledge that is necessary to restore the lost prodigal son to his rightly place in the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.

Lets pose some questions: What man marries a woman so that he can explore her intellectual powers of mind and consciousness that he lacks, in the endeavor to make the two "one flesh" and bring about Wholeness and Completion?  What man today is even aware that as his own opposite polarity/half, a women possess opposite intellectual powers of mind that his gender suppresses?  What man marries a woman so he can work with her -- develop her unique areas of mind that he lacks -- supplying to her the bio-energy and vital life-force she needs to inherit and fulfill her birthright as a goddess who sees and understands all that he is by nature, inherently blind to?  And that only after providing for her -- assisting in her development and exploration of her unique intellectual abilities that in his organic condition of mind, he is incapable of understanding with any depth -- giving of himself in the process of elevating him and his wife to higher levels of Self-Knowledge, Consciousness and Being? 

In the same way that a woman will remain physically barren without a man, she needs the man's Generative Power to Intimately Connect with him -- enabling the man and woman to make high-level intellectual interactions within a Mental-Cocoon or Morphic Field that creates a Common Atmosphere in which they dwell -- exchanging thoughts and impressions between them -- and after the connection is established, she needs his flow of bio-energy and vital life-force to arise Intellectually and fulfill her destiny as a Goddess.  She needs him to explore to the very depths of her mind and being.              

In this three-dimensional realm that enables the male/female and heavenly/earthly polarities to interact through them, it is the sexual interaction of the man and woman that enables this evolutionary growth to manifest and be brought about.  In the allegorical account of Genesis, Eve (women) is portrayed as having been drawn from the side of Adam (man) -- which portrays a divided mind and and consciousness.  And the male and female polarities can therefore directly interact, though physical sex when the (sexual) DNA of the male becomes embedded in the mind of the female (see Study On DNA Exchange http://BrotherOfJesus.org#study ) -- thereby creating a physical connection between husband and wife.  As patterned in the subheading entitled The Process Of Birth Within The Tree Of Life http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#foundation , this connection creates a semi-oneness between the man and woman that enables the Spiritual Centers of both to interact as personified in the image on the right.  Where the male is polarized positive in the lower (earthly) centers, the female is polarized positive in the upper (heavenly) centers.  And it is through this interaction of the male and female columns of the Tree of Duality, where the heavenly can be reunited with the earthly -- brought into Wholeness in the Center -- wherein the bio-energy is then drawn through the "narrow gate" in the Center, where the thoughts and impressions that have achieved Wholeness can then initiate and bring about the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening of the mind that enables the husband and wife to bring about the next stage of birth -- thereby uniting them with their Higher Soul-Selves -- i.e., "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17). 

The paradoxical opposite polarities are necessary in order to perceive and understand from different and opposite perspectives.  This interaction cannot take place in the higher reality of the Soul, because our Soul exists in in a twelve-dimensional Oneness without division.  Therefore, for the opposite polarities of mind to evolve, the natural divisions of the mind must be manifest in an environment of separation where they can interact.   With the four main divisions being the male and female and the earthly and heavenly spheres of mind -- with each of the four existing in the pattern of the Trinity -- manifesting the twelve spheres of mind.  Which twelve spheres are allegorically set forth in the Zodiac, the twelve tribes of Israel, and the twelve disciples portrayed in the Gospels.  The twelve signs of the zodiac portray the cosmic mind -- the twelve tribes of Israel portray the divided mind of man -- and the twelve disciples allegorically portray the mind brought into Wholeness -- which Wholeness is allegorically portrayed in the account of Jesus which is the destiny of each Soul as it evolves to Wholeness and Perfection -- i.e., "You, therefore, must be Perfect, as your Heavenly Father is Perfect" Matt 5:48).                   

The Mind, as pattern in the Tree of Life, is the twelve spheres that see and understand from the perspective of four paradoxical perceptions -- with each of the Four acting as a heavenly-trinity -- an earthly-trinity -- and the opposing male/female trinities of the left and right. Which is exactly as portrayed in the image of the Cathar Cross.  In order to pass through the Center which is the "narrow gate", each impression or thought must draw upon and bring together and unite the aspect of each thought that is in the Upper-Heavenly Triad with the Lower-Earthly Triad -- drawn into the center through the unification of the Feminine-Triad and the Masculine-Triad of the outer columns -- where the vital life-force can then be drawn into the Center, where it can them bring about the expansion and development of the mind. What this means is that the fragments that make up the thought in Wholeness -- the fragment from the lower/earthly must be united with it's opposite fragment in the upper/heavenly -- drawn together in the Center by the unity of the male/female outer columns -- which permit the vital life-force in Wholeness to then be drawn through the "narrow gate" and into the Center where the White Light of the Restored bio-energy is then able to grow the Mind and Consciousness of the person.

The Living Fruit of the Tree of Life where each of the Triads are balanced and Whole, is the nourishment that brings the eater thereof Life.  In contradistinction, with the division of the Male and Female Outer Columns which constitutes the Tree of Duality (aka Tree Of Knowledge Of Good and Evil), the eating of this forbidden fruit of duality brings death through the process of non-growth and lack of development -- i.e., “Another disciple said to him, Lord, first let me go and bury my father. But Jesus told him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead” (Matt 8:21-22).  Those who eat the fruit of division and duality -- whose mind has not been matured through the life-giving fruit of the Tree of Life -- are the dead that Jesus portrayed.  The Testing for Wholeness of each impression or thought is accomplished by the progression of the Law of Octaves -- with all unbalanced or incomplete thoughts and impressions being channeled outwardly with the twisting of the Octave -- wherein the bio-energy is then lost and channeled into Nature.  As portrayed in the parable of the prodigal son as having squandered away their inheritance on "riotous" living -- expelling their bio-energy on the things of this world.

Consciousness Requires Energy: Energy is always the product of the Intimate Exchanges of Positive/Male and Negative/Female polarities that interact with each other to manifest a Third-Force Balance of Mind -- and this Manifestation of Consciousness is the Foundation of the Trinitarian Foundation that is holographically replicated into all of Creation. 

Nourishment And Developmental Growth: In the same way that an infant must have proper nourishment in order to grow and develop into adulthood and maturity, enlightened people throughout the history of mankind have known that the mind of man evolves and grows when nourished with the right thoughts that bring about the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening.  Because mankind has freewill, growth and development is a matter of the choice of the individual.  In the same way that a person tastes and evaluates anything that is presented to the person as food, the person's mind evaluates our thoughts.  And every thought is evaluated by the Law of Octaves.  Thoughts that are balanced and Whole, are able to stimulate growth and development.  Thoughts that lack Balance and Wholeness are unable to stimulate growth and development of the mind, and therefore these junk-thoughts squander away the bio-energy of the person.  Therefore, the substance and effect with respect to the results of our thoughts -- whether the bio-energy feeds and nourishes the development of mind or is lost into Nature -- is directed by the twisting of the progression by the Law of Octaves. 

The Proverbial UnAnswered Enigmatic Questions Of Life: The Gospel Of Thomas declares that the Kingdom lies before you -- but you see it not!  (113) His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"  Jesus said, "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."

Why?   If these words are true -- that the Kingdom of God lies before all mankind, and they see it not -- then the question must be asked: What Force of Nature and the Universe inhibits you from seeing and knowing all realities of the Kingdom and the life you are presently living?   And if the Kingdom lies before you, why can't you see the Kingdom, and know God?   Further, what of the proverbial questions of life: Why is there evil in the world?   If there is indeed a God or Supreme Intelligence that looks out and oversees this world, why doesn't this Higher Power bring an end to the world's suffering, sickness and death?   Which provokes the question: What is the real purpose and objective of the lives that we are presently living?   And if there is indeed a God who has Created this world, what is the cause of the many great inconsistencies of life -- i.e., Why are the few born rich?  Others in abject poverty?  Why does it seem that while the good often die young, the evil live long and prosperous lives?   Often inflicting great suffering and hardship upon their fellow man?  Why are some people beautiful?  While others would be classified homely and even ugly?  Why are some people intelligent and quick-witted, while others are slow to learn and unable to rationally present themselves?  Why are there geniuses on one side of the intelligence spectrum, and moronic feebleminded imbeciles on the opposite end?    Why are some born blind, deaf and impaired by every other deformity of birth?   Is there a reason for the quagmire of these inconsistencies?  

Not only does each and every person who has ever walked the face of the earth have the potential to answer all of the above questions -- but it is their ultimate destiny.   Are we therefore dwelling in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness)?   If this is true -- and we are presently dwelling in what is portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being --  then all the answers to all the questions and enigmas of life have been set before us, and it is our own self-imposed blindness that inhibits us from seeing?   Thus, Jesus said to his disciples when they asked why he did not speak plainly to the multitude of people: "Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables: that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand..." (Mark 4:11-12).   Therefore, when Jesus portrayed those who were "without", he was making reference to those who dwelt in what he portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness).   Which also provokes the question: Is this world what is portrayed in the analogy of the Illusions of Plato's Cave (see Cave)?   Moreover, if your present existence in this world is synonymous with what is portrayed in the Gospel account of the parable of the prodigal son, then it will remain impossible for you to escape what is allegorically portrayed as this, the Far Country, until which time you can achieve that level of potential development that permits you to answer the above questions.   And when the question is posed as to how this inherent destiny is brought about?   The answer is through a series of Natural Laws that pervade all of Creation and existence on every level of Mind and Being (see The Laws Of Creation http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#TheLawsOfCreation ).   

The Mind evolves when it is nourished by Thoughts that are Balanced and Whole.  But what does this mean?  Modern science has arrived at the understanding that what man sees with is physical senses, is a projected image that originates from an higher Unseen Field-Reality.   When physicist Walter Thirring stated in his book, Urbausteine der Materie about the nature and reality of physical matter that modern physics “...has put our thinking about the essence of matter in a different context.   It has taken our gaze from the visible - the particles - to the underlying entity, the field.   The presence of matter is merely a disturbance of the perfect state of the field at that place; something accidental, one could almost say, a ‘blemish’.   Accordingly, there are no simple laws describing the forces between elementary particles… Order and symmetry must be sought in the underlying field” -- what he was confirming is that what man sees with his physical eyes, is an image that has been projected into this world of appearances from an UNSEEN CAUSAL FIELD.  In the same way, Einstein experienced shock when he first came into contact with the new emerging reality of atomic physics, and wrote in his autobiography: “All my attempts to adapt the theoretical foundation of physics to this [new type of] knowledge failed completely. It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere, upon which one could have built”.  In much the same fashion, the European physicist Niels Bohr stated that “…The great extension of our experience in recent years has brought to light the insufficiency of our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a consequence, has shaken the foundation on which the customary interpretation of observation was based.”  What this means is exactly as stated by Einstein when he stated: “We may therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense… There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality” (quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary Physics).  What is being stated is that the primary focus of science where only what was seen with one's physical eyes, has now been rendered inadequate and incomplete -- it being focused totally on observable matter -- because the emerging body of facts and evidence now demonstrates that what we perceive physically, is a projection from an UNSEEN Source where True Reality exists.  Which provokes the question: What is being projected?  Thus, the statement by astronomer James Jeans: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine”; and the statement by astronomer Arthur Eddington: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff” -- both demonstrate the reality that there is nothing but Projected Thought.   Which means that you are a thought that is being projected in this world by your True-Self that dwells in the reality of an UNSEEN CAUSAL FIELD.   In like manner physicist and Nobel prize winner John Archibald Wheeler stated that "every item in the physical world has at bottom ...an immaterial source and explanation ...that all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and that this is a participatory universe".  What this means is that what you see physically, conveys an (allegorical) explanation pertaining to the "...immaterial [UNSEEN] source" that is projecting the physical image of what we see with our physical senses.   Max Planck who is considered the founder of quantum theory stated: "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."  And more recently, cyberneticist David Foster described “an intelligent universe” whose apparent concreteness is generated by cosmic data from an unknowable, organized source.   The holographic reality says that: “…our brains mathematically construct hard reality by interpreting frequencies from a dimension transcending time and space. The brain is a hologram, interpreting a holographic universe.”  And this largely inconceivable reality is confirmed by Einstein in the quotation to the right where is speaks of our physical presence as the manifestation of frequencies -- i.e., "We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos.  We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music".

So long as our thinking and mind remains anchored and ruled over by our lower (animal) consciousness (see Organic Man Ruled Over By His Lower Animal Nature  http://SoulSelf.org#AnimalNature ), it will remain virtually impossible for us to bring our thinking into any degree of Balanced Wholeness.   Until we learn to penetrate the Unseen Field, and unite the Upper-Heavenly with the Lower-Earthly, we will remain a prisoner shacked in what is portrayed as the "outer darkness" of Plato's Cave (see Plato - The Physicist http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#Plato ).  How, then, do we begin to connect the upper-heavenly with the lower-earthly spheres of mind?  The Answer: Through the interaction of the Male and Female Columns as patterned in the Tree of Life (see The Process Of Birth Within The Tree Of Life http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#foundation ).  And therein lies the other Enigma of Abject Ignorance of our modern culture.  Quoting from The Trinity - Divine Pattern - Linear vs Intuitive Development Of The Mind http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org/#Trinity

Is There A War On Women?   And if there is, who is waging this war?  Perhaps this question can better be answered by suggesting that there is, and for the most part there has always been a war on the Intuitive -- and since by her inherent nature, woman is very much the embodiment of the Intuitive Spheres of Mind as patterned in the Tree of Life, it can rightly be stated that the war on women is not only carried on by academia,  patriarchal religious systems, our culture, but also the Feminists who in many respects are themselves female misogynists who wage war against their own femininity.   The truth of the matter is, that while men and women are equal, they are anything but the same.   Quoting from The Opening And Unlocking Of The Mind:

One of the greatest lessons the people of our modern culture must learn is that equal does not mean the same.  Perhaps this is best expressed in the introduction of the long ignored book Brain Sex, by Anne Moir and David Jessel, where they wrote: "Men are different from women. They are equal only in their common membership of the same species, humankind. To maintain that they are the same in aptitude, skill or behaviour is to build a society based on a biological and scientific lie".   The key to the dilemma that confronts us today is further seen in the words of the authors with respect to their opposition to the ideas we teach our children in our modern-day politically correct culture: "What you will read in this book about the differences between men and women may make both sexes angry or smug. Both reactions are wrong. If women have reason to rage, it is not because science has set at naught their hard-won struggle towards equality; their wrath should rather be directed at those who have sought to misdirect and deny them their very essence". The book then goes on to embrace the very real statement that "Women should contribute their specific female gifts rather than waste their energies in the pursuit of a sort of surrogate masculinity. A woman’s greater imagination can solve intractable problems - be they professional or domestic - at one apparently intuitive stroke."   More recently another (female) researcher named Dr Luan Brizendine has authored a book named The Female Mind.   Dr. Brizendine, whose book is based on her own clinical work and analyses of more than 1,000 scientific studies, added: "There is no unisex brain.  Girls arrive already wired as girls, and boys arrive already wired as boys. Their brains are different by the time they're born, and their brains are what drive their impulses, values and their very reality.  I know it is not politically correct to say this but I've been torn for years between my politics and what science is telling us.  I believe women actually perceive the world differently from men.  If women attend to those differences they can make better decisions about how to manage their lives."   These more informed decisions are basically impossible for most women in today's culture because of the biological lie that is being promoted due to political correctness.   The problem is that because we dwell in a world that is generally defined by a male linear perspective, the true nature and depth of the feminine mind is largely an unexplored realm of vast substance and opportunity.   In fact, once this far reaching reality is truly realized, one must begin to acknowledge that even men are severely anchored and inhibited by their own and societies ignorance with respect to the higher purpose and untapped potential of the female mind.  In this respect, woman is the missing element in (male) man's search for God and the meaning of life -- and vise versa.

What is being presented in the above is the fact that our culture, as well as both our traditional religions and academia, all suppress the Feminine-Intuitive -- programming the minds of young girls to ignore their natural mode of thinking, and instead respond from a Male-Linear mindset -- all failing to explore the important differences that are easily demonstrated between men and women -- which suppression of the Feminine-Intuitive inhibits and flat-lines all intellectual development beyond a very carnal level that is portrayed in the Bible as being of an "animal-soul" level of consciousness.   In both academia and our culture,  all standards that are used to measure educational achievement, are all from a Male-Linear perspective.  With its rote programming of memorization and intellectual parroting on demand in the students pursuit of passing standardized tests which are used to measure accomplishment, the spheres of mind necessary for Feminine-Intuition are suppressed and atrophied.  Which means that the only acceptable source of knowledge and learning, is from sources in the outer world -- which is a total rejection of the process of Anamnesis (see Anamnesis - The Innate Knowledge Of The Truth Of All Truths ). 

The greatest and most esteemed of philosophical and religious sources have maintained that each person has access to an Inner Source of Knowledge that is far greater and superior to all the sources of knowledge and learning in the outer world (see The Great Question ).  Yet, both our culture and academia totally ignore and even reject this Wisdom.  With respect to the proper interpretation of the scriptures, the Apostle Peter warned that the scriptures must not be "...read according to the understanding of our own mind", -- which traditional understanding from a human perspective, is to read the scriptures as if they are an historical narrative documenting man's past.   Thus, Christians embrace the grave error of modern academia, and they read the scriptures in what can rightly be portrayed as an Old Covenant mode, regardless of the statement of Peter and the original followers and disciples of Jesus that the scriptures must never be understood in accord with "an extraneous sense, which you have brought from without".  Further stating that there is a Teacher and Source of Knowledge  "...within the mind of every one of us" -- and  "...is inoperative"  to the thinking of those who fail to seek this Inner Supreme Source/Teacher of Knowledge.  Yet, Christians who remain spiritually disenfranchised and ignorant, totally reject this core Gospel teaching that the only valid interpretation of the scriptures MUST be drawn from the Source within mankind -- rather than being drawn from the interpretations of men in the outer world.    

Under the heading of Sibyl, the Wikipedia states that "The sibyls were women that the ancient Greeks believed were oracles" -- which means that they understood the different domains and powers of mind that separated men and women.  In the frontispiece to Voltaire's book on Newton's philosophy, Émilie du Châtelet appears as Voltaire's muse, reflecting Newton's heavenly insights down to Voltaire (see Voltaire).   Which provokes the question: Can we even have heavenly insights when the feminine-intuitive is suppressed?  In Mythology, a muse is always feminine, and is allegorically portrayed as the nine goddesses who symbolized the arts and sciences -- i.e., the intuitive catalyst that connects the mind of the person to an inner source.   In the Gospel According To The Hebrews, the Holy Spirit is portrayed as the Mother of Jesus -- i.e., "Even now did my mother the Holy Spirit take me by one of mine hairs, and carried me away unto the great mountain Thabor".    And it is this Divine Feminine that is portrayed as the Teacher of those who are faithful to the Core Gospel Teachings (see Original Gospel). 

As one of the great enigmas of life, only a handful of people have ever understood the Law of Octaves over the course of human history.   Yet, it is one of the most important realities for a person to understand the presence and movement of the Law in their daily lives.  Why?  In the same way that "every hair on your head has been numbered" (Luke 12:7), the Law of Octaves is a moving force -- i.e., an Organic Bio-Feedback Organism, that intimately interacts with every word, thought, desire and deed of interaction of every aspect of the life you have, and are presently living.  But because of both its importance and complexity, I will present a very simple explanation first -- in the hope that as most people gain an elementary understanding of how the Law of Octaves is one of the most important aspects of their lives, that they will become cognizant of how and why it effects them. 

It is human nature that causes most critics and people who don't understand a concept of truth, to automatically oppose whatever they fail to comprehend.  According to 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.”  Then there is the similar statement by Einstein when he said: “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”  And since I have always been opposed by the critics, I usually go into great detail in my in-depth explanations.  In the words of Mikhail Kalashnikov who designed the AK-47 which is known as the most reliable weapon ever made: “Things that are complex are not useful, Things that are useful are simple.”  And because of both the importance and the great complexity of the Facts of Life with respect to the Law of Octaves, I will present the simple explanation that is useable by the average person. 

Mankind's great intellect is the result of the divided complexity of his mind that is able to see and understand from different and often opposing perceptions.  Therefore, the mind of man is segmented, so as to provide different images of the same vision or interaction of the life that he is living.  And it is this segmentation of mind that is his strength -- permitting him to conquer and prevail over the obstacles of life -- that is also his greatest weakness.    

Can man know the answers to all of life's enigmas?   While most of mankind will say no -- and others will hold to the belief that they must wait until they pass from this life to know the answers -- there has always been the few who have witnessed that the opposite is true: Stating that the very purpose of life is to seek the Truth and the Mysteries of God -- and if you fail to find the answer to the enigmas of life while you are still in this world, that you will fail to fulfill the very purpose of life itself.   Contrary to popular opinion: There is a reason for all events and things in this life -- but to understand the events, you must understand the Causal-Factors of Life (see The Causal Factors Of Life http://CausalFactor.Nazirene.org ).   And while both faith-based believers and unbelieving (Atheists/Agnostics) will all agree that it would be virtually impossible to Know The Truth of the countless enigmas of life, there has always been the few who have opposed the majority opinion.   And these few have always been opposed, because the majority simply can't accept the reality that there exists a Force of Natural Law that inhibits them from perceiving and knowing the Truth of all things.   And while the Universal Voice of the disciple of the Truth -- i.e., the spiritual visionary and mystic -- has always been: "Only when you do and live as I have lived, can you come to know what I know" -- this wisdom of the few has always been rejected by the many.  

What is the conditions of your birth and station in life?   While many of the original Ebionite Nazirene followers and disciples of Jesus -- as well as the pre-Nicene Spiritual Christians -- could readily answer important questions that has alienated modern man from a higher reality that he is in denial of, most people who have been programmed with the modern Atheist Paradigm of Thought will conclude that their birth was fate or chance -- an accident -- or even luck.   Yet, in reality, none of these choices are accurate.   Whether you were born rich, poor, in a third world nation or with a silver spoon in your mouth -- or, somewhere in between -- your religion, your occupation, your country of origin, whether you are a male or female, your sexual orientation, liberal, conservative, libertarian, Atheist, Marxist, environmentalist, anarchist -- whatever your present station in life is, not only the manner you entered into this life was determined prior to your even being born -- but the Laws of God has scripted and preordained all of your possible choices and opportunities that have been presented to you -- as if you are walking through a labyrinth where the measure of your freewill is the determination of what choices you will make with the options that are presented to you.   When rightly understood, this world is God's Schoolhouse for his Prodigal Sons and Daughters -- and in the same way that when a child attends school there is a syllabus and curriculum in order to insure that the process of learning is accomplished in the proper steps, so too is the learning environment of this world.  

Jesus taught that not even a sparrow can fall to the ground apart from the Laws of God that brings about all  the events in this world -- i.e., “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV) -- and yet, our modern Atheist-driven culture remains totally ignorant of the very Laws that move all things in this world.   With respect to the foregoing words of Jesus in the Adam Clark Bible Commentary, we find the statement: “The providence of God extends to the minutest things; everything is continually under the government and care of God, and nothing occurs without his will or permission”.   In relation to this verse under the heading of Providence in the Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary it is explained that: “Divine government is the continued activity of God by which He directs all things to the ends He has chosen in His eternal plan… He governs insignificant things (Matt. 10:29-31), apparent accidents (Prov. 16:33), as well as man's good (Phil. 2:13) and evil deeds (Acts 14:16). God acts in accordance with the laws and principles that He has established in the world. The laws of nature are nothing more than man's description of how we perceive God at work in the world. They neither have inherent power nor do they work by themselves. Man is not free to choose and act independently from God's will and plan; he chooses and acts in accordance with them. In His sovereignty, God controls man's choices and actions (Gen. 45:5; Deut. 8:18; Prov. 21:1). God's actions, however, do not violate the reality of human choice or negate man's responsibility as a moral being”.   Thus the question is posed in scripture: “Does evil befall a city, unless the LORD has done it?” (Amos 3:6 RSV).  And what does the scriptures state is the source of darkness and evil? “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things” (Isa 45:7 KJV).  

If the foregoing is true, then the question should be posed: What criteria and standards does God use in the administration of the Divine Plan and the Natural Laws which are portrayed in the conclusion that  "...He (God) governs insignificant things (Matt. 10:29-31), apparent accidents (Prov. 16:33), as well as man's good (Phil. 2:13) and evil deeds (Acts 14:16). God acts in accordance with the laws and principles that He has established in the world."    Which provokes the question: Just what are these "...laws and principles that He has established in the world" -- and how can man come to understand them?   And while it is clear that Jesus understood these Natural Laws -- even revealing them to his faithful disciples -- the fact that modern Christians are bound by faith in the unknown instead of the revelation of the sure Principles of Law, is a demonstration of the dogmatization of the Gospel.    

The Gospel states that if we truly follow in TheWay, that we will know the Truth that will set us Free (John 8:32) -- which provokes the question: Are the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians today free?  The knowledge that sets man free is neither dogmatic or philosophical -- but rather, a First-Hand Knowledge of all the enigmas that has perplexed mankind since the very dawn of time itself.   And this Truth is captured only by the Bible translation known as The Message which states: "Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him.  If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you.”  Which raises the question: When rightly understood, is the words of Jesus any different than the Universal Voice of the disciple of Truth which proclaims: "Only when you do and live as I have lived, can you come to know what I know"?   The key to the dilemma is found in the words: “If you stick with this, living out what I tell you...", only then can the knowledge of the Laws that inhibit all of mankind from perceiving and knowing the Truth be revealed to the disciples of Truth.    Which means that there is a Force of Law that inhibits those who fail to , "...live out" these teachings -- a Force of Law that inhibits them from knowing the Truth to the enigmas of life.         

An interesting statement is made in Genesis in the declaration: And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth" (Gen 9:12-13) -- but what does this mean?   Only when it is realized that within the spectrum of light, the rainbow is an octave -- portraying the reality that white light is comprised of seven colors -- can the meaning of the sign of the covenant be understood in practical terms.    And when rightly understood, what is called The Law Of Octaves is so holographically embodied in all the Laws of Creation and the Laws of Nature, that without the knowledge of what is portrayed as the meaning of "...the sign of the covenant", it will remain virtually impossible to understand anything of any substance and depth in the life that man is presently living.    In fact, that the vast majority of mankind is found to be totally uninformed with respect to the meaning of "...the sign of the covenant", is the very reason why they remain ignorant of the very far-reaching implications exerted by the Natural Laws upon every aspect of the life that we are presently living.   Which means that when the believer answers one of the enigmas of life with the words: You have to have faith -- and the unbeliever states that if there was a God, that the conditions of life would be different -- both the believer and the unbeliever are answering from the same perspective which is caused by a lack of understanding of "...the sign of the covenant" and the Law of Octaves.     And when rightly understood, no truer statement has ever been made which portrays the plight of the vast majority of mankind than this: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ...Therefore, my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge" (Hosea 4:6; Isa 5:13).  Why?  This question is answered in the words: "Those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths" (Isa 3:12 NKJ).  And if the proclamation in the Gospel of Thomas is true -- i.e., "...if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty" -- then the very Essence of Religion IS the Science of Mind.   Therefore, an important element to Self-Knowledge, is to understand the Forces of Nature and the Laws that are exerting absolute control over every aspect of our Mind and Being.  

We dwell in a world that is held in balance by the Natural Forces and Laws that control every aspect of life.   And when rightly understood, it is man's ignorance of the Natural Forces and Laws that will inhibit any real progress towards the fulfillment of the very reason each of us is living the life that we are at present.   One of the long ignored and gravely misunderstood teachings of the Gospels and all scriptures, is that only the very few who have dedicated their lives to seeking Truth and travailing in TheWay, will possess the ability to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and what is biblically portrayed as the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God (see In The House With The Lord).   The Book of Acts declares that from the One came the many -- and that "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us" (Acts 17:27).  

Every day believers and critics of the Bible both read the words which they fail to comprehend the ramifications of.   And because they have no understanding of the consequences of remaining complacent and ignorant -- not comprehending the implications of the reality of the Law of Octaves -- they remain perpetually disenfranchised from not only the true meaning of the scriptures, but also of the realities of the very life they are presently living.   In the Gospel of Thomas declaration that "...if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty" -- it is the individual's failure to understand the ramifications of the Law of Octaves upon their being and consciousness that makes it virtually impossible for them to understand anything beyond a very surface perception of reality.   And this is why it is declared: "There is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death" (Prov 14:12).  

It is said that the Law of Octaves was the very foundation of the whole of the work of Pythagoras -- it was an integral part of the philosophy of Socrates and Plato -- it was an essential part of the wisdom of Valentinus and the pre-Nicene Spiritual Christians -- made relevant to all the Natural Laws of Creation by John A. Newlands -- and was the foundation of the mystical teachings of G.I.Gurdjieff.   When Jesus said: "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled" -- the means by which the Law would be fulfilled, employed the Law of Octaves as a vehicle to bring the required Wholeness and Completion about.   

What this means is that whoever desires a very technical understanding of the Law of Octaves, there presently exists a massive body from many sources of teachings to which they can turn.   But what is missing is (1) a practical understanding of the Law of Octaves and its relation to the Sermon on the Mount; (2) which is the basis of why the second century Bishop Valentinus taught that the faith-based believer who remains immature in their understanding, has no real continuance beyond their physical death in this life; (3) and why it is declared in the Epistle of Peter and James that if the esoteric teachings of Jesus and the Gospel should become lost, that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error."   Why would the disciples and brother of Jesus make such a profound statement?   Why can't a seeker simply begin their search for Truth, and have it plainly revealed to them?   The answer is found in the statement: "There is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death" (Prov 14:12) -- which parallels that of Paul who stated: “And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:2 NKJ).        

From the perspective of the Gospel teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, a more important diagram of the Enneagram and the progression of the Natural laws is presented in the diagram to the left.   When rightly understood, the teachings and concepts of the Sermon on the Mount in conjunction with the Consecrated Lifestyle which the original disciples of Jesus lived, was designed to invoke the Natural Laws for the seeker, and enable them to supercharge their pursuit of the Divine Manna (Knowledge) which is the necessary spiritual nourishment to gain entrance into the  Kingdom.    In the diagram to the right we can observe three crucial bending points and interval-shocks that must be mastered in order to evolve the self beyond "natural" organic limitations of development.   And it has been said that while to some degree nature provides for the first two shocks with respect to food and air, few people can even begin to grasp the required Impressions that is necessary to transcend organic physical limitations -- limitations that shackle man to virtually worthless lives where the whole of their thinking and mindset can be best portrayed as earth-bound.   When Jesus replied to why he taught the multitude of the people who were portrayed as being "without" only with parables that "Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables: that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand..." (Mark 4:11-12 ASV) -- and Paul warned that “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS) -- it was because of the human dilemma that inhibits their understanding and comprehension, and keeps them earth-bound in their thinking and mindset.
