The Missing Link
Jesus taught the concepts of the pre-existent soul that evolves to perfection over the course of many lives. When this teaching of Jesus was forcefully removed by the later Church of Rome, the Christian world was cast into the abyss of spiritual ignorance from which they have yet to climb out of. It is not that reincarnation was an essential part of Jesus' teachings -- it was not! But what it was, was an understanding of the process of soul-growth that permits all people to evolve out of the Alpha of Creation -- maturing through each stage and level of soul-development -- and emerging into the Omega-stage of Creation where the prodigal sons and daughters of the Most High God has returned from this, the "far country... outer darkness" of this world, and entered the Kingdom that each of us must find within ourselves in order to fulfill the requirement set forth at Matthew 5:48 where it states we must be Perfect, as our Heavenly Father.
In the year 553 the Emperor Justinian convened the 5th
Ecumenical Council where, quoting the Catholic Encyclopedia,
"...the council
opened on 5 May, 553, in spite of the protestations of Pope Vigilius, who though
at Constantinople, refused to attend it... before the opening of the council,
which had been delayed by the resistance of the pope, the bishops already
assembled at Constantinople had to consider, by order of the emperor, a form of
Origenism that had practically nothing in common with Origen..."
Quoting the Britannica:
"After the council,
Justinian banished the pope to
The Words That Haunt Christians
Yeshua/Jesus Warned His Followers "In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple. Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear" (Luke 14:33-35 NIV).
Modern Christians can't know the means by which the soul of man is perfected, because they continue to embrace the thinking and mindset of this world, and have attempted to become a believer without undergoing the process of spiritual transformation. While believers of the simple faith are prone to embrace a great multitude of doctrines, the disciple who is taught the Mysteries of God must be separate from the thinking, mindset and lifestyle of the people of this world -- i.e., “Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you” (2 Cor 6:17). In many instances the Greek word that we translate the “pure” Word of God, in fact means the mixtureless Word of God. And since the Anointing (Messiah/Christ) comes to us in the form of a dove, we must make ourselves a fit and consecrated vessel that is "mixtureless" with respect to the thinking and lifestyle of the people of this world. And when we come to understand this requirement in conjunction with the place in which Jesus instructed us to look for the Kingdom; i.e., “One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, When will the Kingdom of God begin? Jesus replied, The Kingdom of God isn’t ushered in with visible signs. You won’t be able to say, It has begun here in this place or there in that part of the country. For the Kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21 TLB) -- and we perceive this inner Kingdom in conjunction with the words of the Apostle where he wrote: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (1 Cor 3:16 KJV) -- only then can we begin to comprehend the requirement that we be “mixtureless as a dove”. in order move beyond the entry-level "milk" of the Gospel, and become disciples who are able to receive the revelation of the Mysteries of God. While many modern-day Christians would like to think that they have fulfilled the requirements of life by calling on the name of the Lord as their personal Savior -- and that, they have inherited the promise that the Lord will never leave them -- they arrive at this defective conclusion by rejecting many important biblical teachings. If the Christian is the salt of the earth, and if Christians lose their purity because of a lack of "mixturelessness" with respect to the cultural thinking of this world and the infusion of the doctrines of men, then we must ask: "...how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear" What does it mean to have lost one's purity, and no longer be suitable to be the "salt of the earth", and as a consequence of this impure condition, to be "...thrown out"? Perhaps an easy way to answer this question is to turn to the parable of the Wedding Feast -- and the question as to who can attend this inner spiritual celebration. The required "wedding garment" is representative of this same mixtureless purity -- and thus, it was said: “And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matt 22:12-14 RSV). Like the modern-day Christians, the man had heard TheCall, and had come when summoned, but he lacked the required garment of mixtureless purity, and he was bound hand and foot and cast out into "the outer darkness". But where is this outer darkness? In view of the fact that the Kingdom is within us, and our very body-vessel is the true Temple of God, the outer darkness is the outer levels of mind and consciousness that the prodigal sons and daughters of the Most High must endure until they release themselves from the servitude and shackles of the god of this world, and enter the Kingdom within (see Gate Of Eden).
Christians Can't Know The Mysteries Of GodThey Dwell In The Outer Darkness
Having lost their purity, they can no longer perceive or comprehend either the spiritual meaning of the scriptures (see The Pursuit Of God By The Letter That Killeth), and because they are no longer mixtureless, they dwell in "the outer darkness".
Christian Incompletion
The Great Doctrinal Quagmire
With the understanding of the process of soul-growth and evolution removed from the teachings of Jesus by the Church of Rome, a doctrinal void was created that inhibited the believers from understanding how the prodigal sons and daughters returned from this, "the far country... outer darkness" -- and without understanding the process of soul and spiritual evolution or even the purpose of life in this physical realm, the vast majority of Christian believers became lost in a manmade doctrinal quagmire. Why a quagmire? Because the Church of Rome suppressed certain essential teachings of Jesus in their attempt to create an institutionalized church which would serve the needs and requirements of the Roman Emperors and government,
The Teachings of TheWayThe teachings of Yeshua/Jesus which are known as TheWay was a purely spiritual religion -- practiced by a purely spiritual people known as Essenes, Nazirenes and Ebionites. These sacred teachings became impure when placed in the hands of the Gentiles, and totally corrupted under Constantine and Pagan Rome. What Yeshua taught is that the Kingdom is within us, and we must enter in at the "narrow gate" while still alive in the physical body in order to enter into Life. Because the 4th century pagan Christians murdered the spiritual Christians, modern believers no longer comprehend the true spiritual meaning of the Gospel. In the manner of the Jewish sects of the Sadducees and Pharisees, they look outwardly for the Kingdom to come upon the earth -- an event which Yeshua said would never happen (Lk 17:20-21) -- instead of picking up their own cross and following in TheWay by imitating the life of Yeshua.
The Essence of TheWayYeshua/Jesus did not come to promote belief in the Messiah/Christ - neither did he come to promote the worship of Messiah/Christ - Yeshua came to teach the people TheWay to become Messiah/Christ, and fulfill the vision of a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation of Anointed (Messiah/Christ) Disciples who are set aside for the service of the Most High God that Yeshua taught was the Father of all of mankind. But the majority of the Roman and Greek followers who were too Pagan to embrace the teachings of Yeshua, were not interested in a life of genuine change and spiritual transformation, so they made Jesus their God so they didn't have to pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay. Thus, the Church itself betrayed and crucified Messiah/Christ when it immersed itself in the way of the heathen, and worshiped the messenger instead of imitating the pattern and example that Yeshua set as the required standard for all those who called upon the name of the Lord. The Good News is that once you understand and are willing to live in accordance with the Original teachings of the New Covenant, the Promise is that you will Know the Truth for yourself as you are permitted entrance into the Kingdom within you (Lk 17:20-21).
Nazirene Or Nazarene?
What Is The Difference?
The Disciple of the Lord is always a Nazirene -- i.e., the People of the Vow -- a Consecrated and Anointed Chosen One of the Lord who is set apart from the world. Only those who are of the Vow of the Nazirene can know the Mysteries of God and the inner meaning of the Law/Torah that is the Keys of Knowledge that opens the Inner Door to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.
The Living ScripturevsThe Written Letter That Killeth?
The Torah, New Testament, And Qu'ran Are All Shadows Of The True Word Of God
Jews, Christians And Muslims All Reject Spiritual Wisdom All Are Equally Lost
Regardless
of the number of times that carnal men are warned that God is a Spirit,
and can only be sought through man's indwelling spiritual nature (Jn
4:24), the great mass of believers perpetually reject the spirit and and
turn to the written word of the scriptures in
pursuit of the "letter that killeth"
(2 Cor 3:6). Perhaps the most profound example of
the inability of the natural carnal mind to even begin to grasp man's own
higher soul and spiritual reality is provided in the words of Paul who
said of the baptized, totally committed believers as Corinth: “I
always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
For in him you have been enriched in every way -- in all your speaking and
in all your knowledge -- because our testimony about Christ was confirmed
in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait
for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed” (1
Cor 1:4-7 NIV). What
the natural carnally minded believers had trouble in comprehending -- a
reality that continues to plague Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheists, and
the people of all religious faiths today -- is the reality that the
religion preached by Paul was one of Spiritual Transformation.
Paul warned those he preached to about the "letter
that killeth", that
their religious ideas and doctrines were merely elementary.
Paul attempted to convey this higher reality to believers who were unable
to comprehend the Mysteries of God, because he was a man who was not only
enlightened about the Kingdom within (see Gate
Of Eden), but had himself been permitted entrance into the Kingdom --
as seen in his words that every
Christian who beseeches the Lord today to enlighten their understanding,
is in fact asking to see and hear “…things so
astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in
words…” -- and after they gaze upon these mysteries, what
they have witnessed will be of such a profound nature that they will “…not
[be] allowed to tell them to others” (2 Cor 12:4 TLB).
Why? Why will they not be able to convey to the believers in
the Church what they have seen? Because in not having evolved
through the process of spiritual transformation, they are still of a
carnal mind -- a mindset that Paul warns: The... “carnal
mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor
indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God...
For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God”
(Rom 8:7-8;13 NKJ). When Paul warned that he could only speak to the believers at Corinth as "...men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS), what he was warning was that “Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil” (Heb 5:13-14 NIV). And because they are yet carnal -- not having undergone the process of spiritual transformation -- Paul warned that “And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:2 NKJ). For if man could simply open the scriptures and be able to discern the Truth, Jesus would not have said of his disciples: “For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it” (Matt 13:17 NIV). Why did Jesus say these words? Because the majority of Jews who attempted to read the scriptures literally, and observe the oracles of the Word in a ritualized outward manner, were the counterfeit believers whose carnal mindset had spiritually disenfranchised them from the Kingdom within. The modern doctrinal teaching that the followers of Christ are under the law of grace, and this grace has absolved them from fulfilling the Royal Law of God because Jesus has done everything for them -- and so, Christians are free to live in any manner that they see fit so long as they believe and have faith, is simply not within the framework of what Paul wrote -- as seen in the words: “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?... Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey -- whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?” (Rom 6:1-2; 6:12-16 NIV). With regard to what we call sin, the requirement was set forth by Jesus himself when he said: “sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (John 5:14 KJV). Speaking of those Christians who again turn to the things of this world after beginning to embrace the gospel of Christ, the Apostle Peter makes reference to the scriptures and states: “But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire” (2 Pet 2:22 KJV).
You Can Know All The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Within You But Only If You Pick Up Your Own Cross Follow In TheWay And Be Born Of Spirit Through The Process Of Spiritual Transformation!
Faith meant an entirely different thing to the Apostle Paul than what is being preached from our pulpits today. Faith and belief meant that you live a spiritually consecrated life and seek the Kingdom within. Paul correctly warned that a ritual observance of the Law (works) cannot save you -- and neither can a philosophical belief in Messiah/Christ. This fact can be seen in Paul’s commandment to all who would call themselves a Christian to "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV). To the degree that Paul warned: “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Rom 8:13 KJV). In order to bring about the next stage of soul-birth and open the "narrow gate" to the Kingdom within, Paul warned that it was necessary to overcome one's lower nature to the degree that the disciple of TheWay is able to "…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5 NIV). To mortify the deeds of the body takes work -- a great amount of work -- and this work cannot be accomplished through a static faith and philosophical belief. Thus, the problem is that these biblical commandments have absolutely nothing in common with the doctrine of faith that was developed by Martin Luther in the Middle-ages -- and even less than the static philosophical faith that is preached in our churches today.
Because Higher Reality Is Beyond Natural Human Comprehension You Will View The Mysteries Of God As "FOOLISHNESS" “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ). And because you have yet to walk in TheWay, and embrace the process of spiritual transformation, these words are absolutely true in your life today -- regardless of whether you call yourself a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, or any other religious or philosophical school of thought. "Most
people, sometime in their lives, stumble across truth.
Because Their Minds Have Never Been Prepared To Contemplate Man's True Higher Spiritual Reality 99% Of The People Who Come Here Will Look, Reject, And Go About Their Way Never Knowing That They Have Rejected The Truth Of Moses, Jesus, and Mohammad As Well As All Other Genuine Spiritual Guides In TheWay
New Covenant vs Old Covenant
Spiritual vs Manmade Doctrines
Christians Cling To An Old Covenant Mindset Of The Letter That Killeth
That
someone calls upon the name of Yeshua (Jesus), and considers themselves a Christian, does not mean they believe in the
New Covenant. That someone calls themselves a Muslim, does not mean
they worship the God of Yeshua (Jesus). The
teachings of The Way had absolutely nothing in common with a church or
synagogue where priests, rabbis and other clerics performed rituals to
absolve the people of their refusal to live in accordance with the Word of
God. The teachings of The Way was a path which the disciple walked
that permitted him access into the indwelling Kingdom of God. That
modern Christianity has lost this vision and severed themselves from the
direct communication which is given to the disciple of Truth, is easily
seen in the schismatic nature of the present day church.
If the Apostle Paul were with us today he would condemn the modern
Christian for the exact same reasons that he condemned the believers at
Corinth: “I
appeal to you”, writes the Apostle, “…that
there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united
in mind and thought” (1 Cor 1:10NIV). What
we fail to realize today is the fact that there can be no divisions and
sects in a Living Religion -- where there is One Leader and One Teacher
that all genuine disciples have access to.
By Divine Decree, the followers of Yeshua/Jesus were to have no
divisions, sects, or independent opinions among the believers because the
Lord promised that each “…shall hear my
voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd” (John
10:16 KJV). It is for
this reason the Apostle cautioned Titus to “Warn
a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have
nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and
sinful; he is self-condemned” (Titus 3:10-11 NIV).
The Greek meaning of the word divisive is “one
who promotes a sect”.
It was for this reason the religion of the Messiah/Christ can have
no worldly name, and this is seen in the fact that it was called “The
Way”. Paul
was so adamantly opposed to manmade schisms and carnal opinions that he
chastised the believers at Corinth that they were not men of the spirit --
as was evidenced that they had divisions among them.
He explained that the carnal, or “natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 KJV); and informs them
that they are too “carnal, and walk as men”
(1 Cor 3:3 KJV) to open the inner door of the mind and learn directly from
the Lord via the spirit. From
his perspective, the very existence of these divisions was proof the
believers at Corinth were too carnal to experience direct communication
with the Lord -- which opening of the inner door to the spirit was the
whole essence of New Covenant theology. Writing
about schisms and divisions, the Church Father Turtillian writes: “On
this point, however, we dwell no longer, since it is the same Paul who, in
his Epistle to the Galatians, counts 'heresies' among 'the sins of the
flesh,' who also intimates to Titus, that 'a man who is a heretic' must be
'rejected after the first admonition,' on the ground that 'he that is such
is perverted, and committeth sin, as a self-condemned man.' Indeed, in
almost every epistle, when enjoining on us (the duty) of avoiding false
doctrines, he sharply condemns heresies. Of these the practical effects
are false doctrines, called in Greek heresies, a word used in the sense of
that choice which a man makes when he either teaches them (to others) or
takes up with them (for himself). For this reason it is that he calls the
heretic self-condemned, because he has himself chosen that for which he is
condemned”. In
the gospel preached by Paul, heresy is considered a “sin
of the flesh”, because schisms and divisions are the result
of natural man clinging to ideas of a carnal nature.
Why are these baptized and committed Christians plagued by schisms and
divisions? Because they only call upon the Lord with their lips,
while failing to do as the Apostle states by following in The Way and “Put
to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature”
(Col 3:5 NIV). We
must therefore turn from the understanding of the flesh, or in the words
of the Apostle: “For to be carnally minded is
death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Rom
8:6 KJV). The religion
of Christ was one of the spirit -- and Paul taught the Gentile believers
not to look to the historical man Yeshua/Jesus, but rather the indwelling
Spiritual Living Messiah/Christ as their savior and revealer of truth: “Therefore
from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we
have known Christ according o the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no
longer” (2 Cor 5:16 NAS).
This Spiritual Messiah/Christ, over the historical Messiah/Christ
in the flesh, was what biblical scholar Rudolf Bultmann was speaking of
when he concluded that the “…Christian faith
is, and should be, comparatively uninterested in the historical Jesus and
centered instead on the transcendent Christ” (Encyclopedia
Britannica, 1998 electronic edition). In the eyes of Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, the church of our present day has been turned out of The Way. In a spiritual religion there can be no schisms and divisions, which are “sins of the flesh” -- but rather, spiritual unity must prevail because the true disciple of Yeshua has opened the door to the indwelling Kingdom, and is the student of “the true light which... enlightens every man” (John 1:9 NAS). In this respect, the perspective of the Apostle Paul is very clear -- i.e., one cannot cling to the “Christ according to the flesh”, and be in harmony with the Living Christ that calls to us from beyond the door -- the transcendent Messiah/Christ -- who calls out to the genuine disciple from the other side of the inner strait gate that leads to the Kingdom.
Christians, Jews And Muslims
All Reject The New Covenant
The true Church of the New Covenant is Spiritual and
Living, it is defined in the words: “I will put
my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their
God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor,
or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know
me, from the least of them to the greatest” (Heb 8:10-11 NIV).
The people of the New Covenant have neither a leader, church, nor a
teacher in this world -- wherewith, they are not dependent upon the
instruction of their brothers -- they do not seek the Knowledge of God in
the written words of the scriptures -- i.e., "not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives
life" (NIV) -- because they all are taught directly from God. What the Bible states, then, is that we must find the
Word of God beyond the carnal barrier in our mind. Those people who cling to interpretations of the scriptures as a foundation of their beliefs -- embracing manmade doctrines derived from the written word of the scriptures, are functioning in an Old Covenant mindset -- even when they claim to believe in Yeshua! Paul stated: "He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant -- not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life" (NIV). The objective and purpose of the New Covenant teachings of Yeshua and TheWay, is to prepare the believer for discipleship, and the disciple to undergo the spiritual transformation necessary to learn and be taught directly from God -- i.e., "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me" (John 6:45 NKJ). By releasing the mind from the shackles of the doctrines of men which are based upon carnal interpretations of the written word of the scriptures -- through the living of a consecrated life in dedication to the Royal Law of the Most High -- and the opening of the mind to learn directly from God. Christians, Jews and Muslims all fail to understand the spiritual essence of their own respective religions -- and they look to other men to teach and guide them. Yet, Yeshua condemned the manner in which we seek God -- i.e., "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ" (Matt 23:8-10 NKJ). The disciple has only One Teacher -- “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit” (1 Cor 2:10 KJV). Christians -- like their Jewish and Muslim brothers -- are today lost and shackled to the doctrines of men, because in the manner of the Pharisees and scribes who Yeshua condemned, they have thrown away the Keys of Knowledge, and obstructed the "narrow path" that leads to the Kingdom within (see Gate Of Eden). The teachings of Yeshua and TheWay of the New Covenant is the path that opens the inner door to the Kingdom and permits the disciple to learn from what the Apostle Peter and the disciples portrayed as The True Prophet. This is presented to us in the writings of Peter's disciple Clement -- a writing rejected by the fourth century Roman Church -- where he said that the genuine Jew/Christian must learn only from the True Prophet as to the correct meaning of the scriptures and the revelation of the Word. “Hence, O beloved Clement", proclaims Peter, “if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows anything, he has received it from Him or from His disciples”. These words -- i.e., that you not only can, but you MUST learn the things of God from Him alone, or from one of his genuine disciples -- are as true today as when Peter originally spoke them to Clement in the first century. They are based upon the New Covenant teaching that Yeshau/Jesus came to teach the Truth, and this Truth cannot be altered or defiled by either an impostor church, or the doctrines of men. Therefore, built into the essence of the Word is a means by which the truly faithful disciple throughout any and every age in the history of man is able to learn the Truth directly from the Lord Himself. What this further means is that even during that timeframe when the church was plundered into the very depths of darkness and despair, the truly faithful followers of the Light were taught the truth directly from the One Source of all Truth. The true disciple of Yeshua has opened the door to the indwelling Kingdom, and is the student of “the true light which... enlightens every man” (John 1:9 NAS). While Christians think they are led by the spirit, the whole foundation of their doctrines of belief was imported into the church by the very Pagan Roman Emperor Constantine. Thus, to those who call upon the name of the Lord today, the Lord has warned: "Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led astray" (Isa 9:16 NIV). Yeshua warns that there is only One Teacher, and all
of us are the sons and daughters of the One Heavenly Father.
That the true disciple must learn only from the One Teacher (Mt 23:8), and
reject the doctrines of men, can be demonstrated using the first century
witness known as the Recognitions of Clement, where St. Clement
quotes the teachings of the Apostle Peter.
In chapter 59, under the heading of The True Prophet, Clement
writes: “But I would not have you think, that
in saying this I take away the power of judging concerning things; but I
give counsel that no one walk through devious places, and rush into errors
without end. And therefore I advise not only wise men, but indeed all men
who have a desire of knowing what is advantageous to them, that they seek
after the true Prophet; for it is He alone who knoweth all things, and who
knoweth what and how every man is seeking. For He is within the mind of
every one of us, but in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God
and His righteousness, He is inoperative; but He works in those who seek
after that which is profitable to their souls, and kindles in them the
light of knowledge. Wherefore seek Him first of all; and if you do not
find Him, expect not that you shall learn anything from any other. But He
is soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth,
and whose souls are not taken possession of by wickedness. For He is
present with those who desire Him in the innocence of their spirits, who
bear patiently, and draw sighs from the bottom of their hearts through
love of the truth; but He deserts malevolent minds, because as a prophet
He knows the thoughts of every one. And therefore let no one think that he
can find Him by his own wisdom, unless, as we have said, he empty his mind
of all wickedness, and conceive a pure and faithful desire to know Him.
For when any one has so prepared himself, He Himself as a prophet, seeing
a mind prepared for Him, of His own accord offers Himself to his
knowledge”. What does Peter say to us in these words? That the
True Prophet “is within the mind of every one
of us”. This
concept is Spiritual -- and is the foundation of the Living Church that
the Lord inaugurated. Yeshua
warned his followers not to go to a teacher or religious authority
in this world -- even when that teacher or authority says that he knows
the Messiah/Christ. What
is very clear in these words which are parallel and in harmony with the
Bible, is the followers of Yeshua were not to learn from men -- who
themselves do not know -- and in true Spiritual fashion, they were only to
go to the Source of all Knowledge, the True Prophet.
The Apostle Paul wrote that the baptized believers at Corinth did not know
the Gospel of God, and could not be taught the Mysteries and true
Christian teachings because they were too carnal to receive them.
This great dilemma that Paul wrote about -- and has been
continually ignored by the majority of Christians throughout history --
was explained by Peter when his disciple Clement wrote his warning to
believers: “…and if you do not find Him,
expect not that you shall learn anything from any other”.
From a first century Christian perspective, there is only one way that you can learn and know the truth, and that is through your own dormant spiritual nature. “Expect not that you shall learn anything”, says Peter, if you attempt to learn from the doctrines of men -- even when these men are the leaders of your church, synagogue, mosque, or temple. Why? Because Yeshua himself commanded: “But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren” (Matt 23:8 NKJ). Therefore, whoever will teach you -- except by example and the manifestation of the Light in their own lives -- from the perspective of the New Covenant, is a disciple of the antichrist. The
disciple can only learn from the True Prophet, when they release their
minds from the shackles of the doctrines of men -- open their minds to the
One Teacher within -- purify the body to make it a fit Temple for the Holy
Spirit to indwell -- and live a consecrated life dedicated to the Royal
Law of the Most High. Peter embodies the very essence of the genuine
teachings of The Way in the words: “But He is
soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth, and
whose souls are not taken possession of by wickedness. For He is present
with those who desire Him in the innocence of their spirits, who bear
patiently, and draw sighs from the bottom of their hearts through love of
the truth”. The Cause Of Human Suffering
Only
when individual men and women begin to seek Truth and Knowledge, can human
suffering be done away with. Government is not the answer --
it is one of the major problems. Traditional Church religion
cannot provide you the answers -- because it remains elementary, it is an obstacle to finding
Truth. Mankind is ignorant of higher reality because his
educational institutions alienate our children from man's Universal Source
of Knowledge. Our present-day culture shackles mankind to the
abyss of suffering and despair. As the prodigal son/daughter
of the One Heavenly Father-God, you have been sojourning in this, the "far
country... outer darkness" since the dawn of time as we
understand it -- and you will continue to dwell in this self-imposed exile
from your own higher soul and spiritual reality, until you begin the
process of change and spiritual transformation. Your life is
the result of your own past desires, thoughts and deeds, and you are
presently creating your future. Further, you will continue to dwell
in this realm in subsequent lives, until you embrace the teachings of
TheWay which Yeshua/Jesus taught, pick up your own cross, and follow the pattern of return -- as
stated in the Gospel of the Nazirenes: "Jesus
sat in the porch of the temple, and some came to learn His doctrine, and
one said to Him, Master, what do you teach concerning life? And
He said to them, Blessed
are they who suffer many experiences, for they will be made perfect
through suffering; they will be as the angels of God in heaven and will
die no more. Neither will they be born any more, for death and birth have
no more dominion over them.
They who have suffered and have overcome
will be made pillars of the temple of my God, and they will go out no
more. I say to you, except you be born again
of water and of fire, you cannot see the kingdom of God."
This same basic statement can also be found
in the Book of Revelations is the words: "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more
out" (Rev 3:12
KJV). And this ignored statement in the Revelation of John is
further elaborated on in the Gospel of the Nazirenes where it is taught: "As
Jesus sat by the west of the temple with his disciples, behold there
passed some carrying one that was dead, to burial, and a certain one said
to Him, Master, if a man die, shall he live again? He answered and
said, I am the resurrection and the life, I am the good, the beautiful,
the true; if a man believe in me he shall not die, but live eternally. As
in Adam all are bound to cycles of rebirth, so in the Messiah shall all be
made alive. Blessed are the dead who die in me, and are made perfect in my
image and likeness, for they rest from their labors and their works do
follow them. They have overcome evil, and are
made pillars in the temple of my God, and they go out no more,
for they rest in the eternal. For them that persist in evil there is
no rest, but they go out and in, and suffer correction for ages, till they
are made perfect. But for them that have done good and attained to
perfection, there is endless rest and they go into life everlasting. They
rest in the eternal. Over them the repeated death and birth have no
power, for them the wheel of the eternal revolves no more, for they have
attained to the center, where is eternal rest, and the center of all
things is God" And
while this many sound strange to the modern Christian, Yeshua commanded: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect" (Matt 5:48 KJV). And
that as the Offspring of God -- i.e., the prodigal sons/daughters -- you
have this power to grow to perfection and be just like Yeshua, your elder
brother, is the reason why Yeshua commanded to "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in
heaven" (Matt 23:9 KJV). And this is
confirmed when Yeshua said: "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your
God" (John 20:17 KJV). That each of us is the
prodigal son/daughter who went out from our Father's Kingdom and traveled
into this, the "far
country... outer darkness", has been concealed to
us by the adoption of the doctrines of the Roman Emperor Constantine which
mainstream Christians continue to cling to this very day. And
because many believers pray and beseech the Lord to reveal to them the
spiritual essence of the teachings of Yeshua and the Kingdom of Light, I
was sent back into this life in order to provide those who seek
discipleship with a pure and consecrated heart and mind, the knowledge of
what they must do to return Home to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination (see
http://GateOfEden.com ).
The Universal PathOf Love, Life, And KnowledgeThat Opens The "Narrow Gate" To The Kingdom Within!
The Journey Of TheWay, presented herein by the man known as the Long Island Mystic who in a previous life lived as the Brother Of Jesus, is the most universal message of love and interfaith peace and revelation known to man today. It demonstrates that God is the Father of all men and women -- that prejudice and violence towards others has no place in religion -- and the universal journey of all people as the prodigal sons/daughters of the One Heavenly Father whose Destiny is to Dwell in the Kingdom of God. My brother Yeshua who most people call Jesus (Isis-Zeus), is our elder brother who fulfilled the Law within himself, and thereby became the pattern for all of God Sons and Daughters to return from this, the far country, back to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination. The Greek word Christ is synonymous with the Hebrew word Messiah, and in English these words mean the Anointed -- i.e., the Anointing of the mind is a Power sent from God to those who fulfill the Law within themselves and live a Consecrated Life. The Bible originally taught that Yeshua became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) at his baptism in the Jordan (see The Challenge) when the voice of the Father said to him from heaven: "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee". The Roman Emperor Constantine altered the scriptures, and forced the worship of Jesus upon the church by murdering the genuine followers of Yeshua (see The Death Of Christianity). But our Heavenly Father has heard the prayers and supplications for Truth and Light from His Children who have for a long time dwelt in the "outer darkness" of this, the "far country", and has sent the original Disciples of Yeshua back into the world to guide those who desire to leave this realm of separation, and return Home to the Kingdom through the "narrow gate" within them. If you seek the Truth of the Spirit over manmade church doctrine, then your Father will give you the Manna from Heaven which is the Knowledge of TheWay and the Bread of Life. And if you live this Knowledge -- consecrate your body-mind -- and live a life that is spiritual and fulfills the Royal Law of the Most High -- then you will receive the Spirit that will teach you the Mysteries of God that could only be revealed to those who were the most faithful of Disciples and could reside in the House with the Lord. It is there, in the House, that you will receive the Living Waters that quenches all thirst -- and the Living Bread/Manna that Sustains the Genuine Seeker as they walk in TheWay on the return journey to the Kingdom of Light.
The Light Of Yeshua
The Light that Yeshua brought into the world was snuffed out in the 4th century when the very carnal element of the Church entered into a covenant relationship with the Roman Emperor Constantine -- and though this Light was partially rekindled in the Reformation, the time has come where the Light must once again be brought forth in order to guide the lost children of this world into the Kingdom of Light. Thus, the original Essene/Ebionite Disciples of Yeshua have been sent back into this world in order to reveal the Knowledge of TheWay to the children who dwell in darkness -- and that if they seek the Kingdom and live in the Light of the Royal Law in word, thought and deed -- and consecrate their body-Temple, making it a fit dwelling place for the Logos to indwell -- that the Lord will receive them, and open the inner door within them that permits them to enter the Kingdom. "Do not cease seeking day or night, and do not let yourselves relax until you have found all the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into Pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light" (Gospel of Faith-Wisdom). Yeshua did not come to tell the children about the Kingdom -- he came to guide them into the Kingdom while they are still in the body-Temple: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."(Matt 7:13-14 NKJ). But because the Church was overcome by the darkness, and threw away the Key of Knowledge, the lost children have suffered greatly in the abyss of this world. Thus, TheCall has gone out -- and the Voice of the Lord has sent His Servants forth -- and those who hear His Call, will be invited to enter the Kingdom of Light which is within you (see http://GateOfEden.com ). There is conflict in the world because darkness reigns -- and the god of this world rules the hearts of men. Each man goes in accordance with his own way -- following counterfeit shepherds who peddle Messiah/Christ for profit and greed. At their essence, there is no difference between the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam -- and the conflict and prejudice that exists between the three, is purely manmade. As someone who in previous lives intimately knew the man historically known as Jesus (Yeshua) today -- lived with him, walked with him, talked with him, and was taken into the Kingdom by him -- let me strongly convey to you, the reader, that no church, synagogue, mosque or temple created by man today, represents the teachings of the man known as the Son of God. Because those who claim to teach and preach in the name of the Lord have not embraced the love and acceptance that is required to be a disciple of Yeshua, all who make claim to be believers have been bound and shackled by the chains of ignorance that continues to enslave them in the dark abyss of the dungeons of this world. Sadly, in our own time, religion does more to alienate man from his Creator God, than any other force on earth. Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding of the Universal Truths of the Gospel and the Mysteries of God, can only be given to those who seek Truth over doctrine and desire to be possessed by the Light! And while each church, synagogue, mosque and temple has been given a fragment of truth that has been bestowed upon them by the Lord as a starting point in their spiritual journey in TheWay -- i.e., a seed that has been Sown by the Sower from On High (see The Sower And The Seed) -- because each has permitted themselves to be overcome with prejudice, arrogance, and condemnation of their fellow man, each in turn has bound themselves over to the god of this world who enslaves them in the abyss of the "outer darkness... far country"! And while they repeat words from the Holy Books in the manner of the Pharisees, they know not the Spirit, the Truth, Light and TheWay. Every event in life is for a reason -- i.e., there are no accidents or chance occurrences -- and all that we experience is the result of our own previous actions. If homosexuality, vice and the multitude of what is called the sins of the flesh are ungodly, then so too is the spiritual ignorance that envelops our religious and secular institutions today! Yet each faction, sect and philosophy finds fault with that of their brothers, while ignoring the absolute blindness and partisan/sectarian ignorance they each in turn perceive in the world. And while it is true that my Brother Yeshua/Jesus would not in any way condone the unholy works of the sinner, his greatest condemnation would be for the religious and spiritual leaders whose ways of ignorance guide the people in the way of the abyss of darkness. Look in the mirror -- and know that whatever your present station in this world is, you have been the author of your own conditions of birth and life. If you are poor, then you have made yourself poor. If you are victimized and challenged by the adversities of life, then know that you are the author of all that you have experienced. God did not make you a sinner -- a victim -- a homosexual -- or any other condition that you take exception to! Why? Because each person is the author of the life they are now living -- and you are presently creating your future with your thoughts, desires, actions and deeds. |

Yeshua Teaches His Disciples
1.And Yeshua went up into a mountain and there he sat with His disciples and taught them, and He said to them, "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom ." 2."Sell what you have and do that which is good for those who have nothing; provide yourselves sturdy bags, a treasure in the heavens which does not fail, which no thief can steal, nor moth corrupt. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." 3.Prepare yourself for a journey requiring strength and endurance, let your lights be burning, be mindful, and be like men who wait for their lord when he returns from the wedding. When he comes and knocks they may be open to him immediately." 4."Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he arrives, finds attentive and watchful on his return; truly I say to you that he will gird himself and make them to sit down at his table, and will come forth and serve them." 5."And if he will come in the second watch, or come in the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants." 6."Know this, that the guardian of the house not knowing what hour the thief would come, would have watched and not have suffered his house to have been broken through. Be you therefore ready also, for the Son of man comes at an hour when you don't expect it." 7.Then Peter said to him, "Yeshua, do you tell this parable to only us, or to everyone?" And the Yeshua said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will make ruler over his household, to give them who serve their portion in due season?" 8."Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes shall find so doing. Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath." 9."But if that servant says in his heart, 'My master delays his coming,' and will begin to beat the man-servants and maid-servants and to eat and drink and to be drunken; the master of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will appoint him his portion with the unfaithful." 10.And that servant which knew his lord's will and did not prepare himself, nor followed his will, will be beaten with many stripes. But he that did not know, and did commit things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him will they much require, and to whom they commit little, of him they will require the less." 11."For they who know the Lord, and have found The Way of life, the mysteries of Light, and then have fallen into sin, shall be punished with greater chastisement than they who have not known the way of Life." 12."Such shall return when their cycle is completed, and to them will be given space to consider, and amend their lives, and learning the "mysteries" , enter into the kingdom of light." |

Paul
wrote with respect to the entry-level doctrines of the Church today: “Therefore
let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not
laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of
faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the
resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment”
(Heb 6:1-2 NIV).

"My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..."
(Hosea 4:6 KJV)
Christians believe they are saved, but so too did the Pharisees. Christians proclaim that they are the true people of God, but so too did the Pharisees. Christians claim that once they are saved, the Lord will never leave them -- and this proclamation is based upon the words: "For He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you'" (Heb 13:5 NKJ) -- but these words were spoken first to the Jews. And in the same way that Yeshua/Jesus, as well as those who are sent from God were all rejected by the Pharisees, so too does the modern Christian reject the Lord and His emissaries. Why? Because like the Pharisees, Christians have embraced a series of manmade doctrines and traditions that have alienated them from the knowledge of the Kingdom, and spiritually disenfranchised them from the very essence of Yeshua's teachings of TheWay. And in the same way that when Yeshua attempted to convey to the Pharisees that the Living Word was Spiritual, and could only be embraced and perceived in the Spirit -- and because they were carnal, and thus did not comprehend his words -- they condemned him as demon possessed and a heretic -- so too do the Christians today who have embraced the carnal doctrines of men and rejected the Spirit perceive those who are sent to them by the Lord as demon possessed.

Christianity, Judaism and Islam are today threatened by the emergence of Spiritual Religion. The New Testament is an extension of the Essene portrayal of the sons of darkness vs the Sons of Light -- i.e., institutional vs spiritual. The leaders of the Pharisees killed Yeshua/Jesus, because he opposed their system of institutionalized religion. Constantine killed the Ebionite/Nazirenes and the Gnostic Christians, because they opposed his secular institutionalized church. The Muslims have killed the Sufis, because they reject the spiritual essence of the Qu'ran. Even today, the Jews destroy the Messiah within them -- the Christians crucify the Christ within them -- and the Muslims kill the True Prophet within them -- because they reject the spiritual essence of their own respective religions, while embracing the secular/institutional.
As
demonstrated below, the Promised Land of Moses, the Kingdom declared by Yeshua,
and the Distant Mosque in the Spiritual Mecca that Jews, Christians and Muslims
are required to seek out, exist within the higher inner reality of
mankind. The carnal Jews killed Yeshua -- the Christians killed the
Genuine Disciples of Yeshua -- and the Muslims killed the Sufis -- because they
told them that the Kingdom of God, Spiritual Jerusalem/Mecca, the True
Temple/Distant Mosque, is within -- and can only be entered by those who live a
consecrated life set apart from the ways, mindset, culture and thinking of this
world, and journey in TheWay within. Thus, each Jew must pass
through the Red Sea, travail through
the wilderness guided by the Law, and
permit Joshua (Yeshua) to lead them across the Jordan and into the Promised Land
within them -- and each Christian must pick up their own cross and crucify their
lower nature in the Jerusalem from above that is within them -- and each Muslim
must embrace an inner-spiritual Jihad as they intimately follow God's "...servant by night from the
Al-Haram [Sacred] Mosque [in Mecca] to the Al-Aqsa [literally 'the most distant']
Mosque" in the Jerusalem/Mecca within them, in order to
gaze upon the Living Torah -- the Living Word of The Most High -- the Living
Qu'ran -- and eat of the Spiritual Manna and the Living Waters in order to
inherit Eternal Life.
Yeshua warns those who dwell in the darkness of this world: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."(Matt 7:13-14 NKJ). Because it is only when we enter within us through the "narrow gate" that we are able to find the Kingdom. "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21 NKJ).

From a Spiritual New Covenant perspective: A true
teacher of God's Word is one that leads men into the Kingdom through the House
of Knowledge, and this is seen in
Yeshua's condemnation of the Scribes and Pharisees when he said: “But
woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom
