Introduction

TIME TO

Really Believe and Trust in Something

Have Real Hope

Activate Internal Access to Truth

The time is now and now is when Suzzan and Craig have been asked to bring forward information concerning the plan for the synthesis of humanity.

(Synthesis is defined as: the combining of separate elements or substances to form a coherent whole.) Now is the fullness of time, and each of us has an obligation to our evolving existence to come together with all matter for the good of the whole. There is no one coming to save us; all the messengers are used to teach us, and now we must use what we have learned for the impending events of our time.

In the symphony of the Cosmos we are now being asked to follow the Conductor’s lead, as harmony and rhythm are crucial elements to the discerning ear of time. We must become the instrument our higher self uses which will sound the notes at the last trump. We know the melody but were never before asked to play it. Not to worry, we are all given inherent sheet music. All that remains is our physical transmutation through undying devotion to the Maestro and the music. The universal oneness of all things, NO THING, composed the inherent sheet music and inspired that which steps forward to lead the orchestra … INTERESTED IN PERFORMING?

With the help of the Maestro, Craig and Suzzan have devoted the past eleven years to quieting the discord in their song of life on this plane of existence. To better hear that still small voice within, it is important to have harmony in one’s life, which extends to the inner peace of living. It is through such living that everyone will find their place in the orchestra, if they so desire. This cannot be taught, only sought in truth and experienced through living by the guided direction of inner knowing, with confirmations from NO THING and similarity of experiences communicated in communion with others.

Metaphors are wonderful aids when attempting to describe that which can only be sensed and hoped for, not clearly understood and proven. NO THING (God) should not be metamorphosed into a being having human characteristics and emotions, yet we do it without even thinking or through force of speech in the form of a pronoun, such as “he” or “she”. Along with such a process comes the probability of false certainty in understanding the association with a thing and not a dynamic experience. Furthermore, in giving it a name we tend to imagine that thing outside ourselves as separate from us. Without a name or verbal identifier it is most difficult to refer to anything in speech, as was exemplified when the entertainer Prince changed from using his name to using a symbol instead. The point is, we are rather stuck with the process and hopefully we can appreciate: “What’s in a name?”

Unfortunately the names God, and Christ (not Jesus’ last name), as well as some others, have undergone the process that was just described, and many people today suffer misunderstanding because of it. Many words associated with the Christian Religion actually invoke a mental gag, or shutdown response when used in communication with an idea or thought. These words we speak of have been incorrectly or over used to such a degree that many people no longer want to hear them. This is most disturbing because the divinely inspired writings and teachings were given to help us identify and participate in the evolutionary chain of events so rapidly now taking place.

The symphony is the plan of God (NO THING) moving humanity in concert to perform the evolutionary jump occurring within the lifetime of most of us living. The Conductor is the Demiurge (Creator of the universe) working from the plan in unison with the mechanics of the universe defining the nature and structure of the jump. We are the rhythm of notes forming the melodious body of music to the harmony of God’s plan. This melodious body of music referred to is the body of Christ, not just Christians per say, but anyone who wants to be an instrument. The energy and harmony of this body of humanity must be perfect and moving as one for the defining moment of synchronization (last trump) with the transformation and jump to a new plane of evolutionary existence. Most of us have incarnated at this time to actively participate in the process. Please, take a serious moment to decide whether you will honor or fear your commitment to just such an endeavor.

THE GOOD NEWS: An Alternate Theory, is a missive that is intended to activate a remembering and initiate break down of embodied walls of misunderstanding about Divinity in respect to life on this planet. The reader is urged to let the words reside with them in a manner that points the way to truth in the most personal of instances, the way to the depths of "NO THING".

THE GOOD NEWS: An Alternate Theory

There is good news in that there is a Divine Plan in place, which any and all of us may tap into if we so desire. This plan works hand-in-hand with the mechanics of the universe and evolution. The story of Jesus was given to us as a preview of coming events and a reference point for understanding this plane of existence and Spiritual Workings. The concept is simple if we accept that we are nothing more or less than Divinity’s interface with this material plane. As a spiritual being in symbiotic relationship with a human body, our primary function at this time is to choose whether or not to follow the plan.

In the early 80’s on a lonely German back-road, Craig, like so many people who find themselves in a vulnerable position, made a deal with God. As the subcompact car rolled over, his head struck the roof and, while sustaining his full body weight, the metal buckled into his scalp resounding with the sickening sound of vertebrae compressing in his neck. Upright again Craig trapped and unable to feel his legs, realized he was really hurt. It was then he petitioned God, “If you get me out of this, I will dedicate my life to you.” More than a decade later he made good his part of the supplication, manifesting the real power in those words.

In November 1993, Suzzan stood in a psychiatrist’s office in JeddahSaudi Arabia, and murmured the words: “Something momentous is going to happen to me I have something important to do.” It was the first inkling that she may have a manifest destiny. For Suzzan’s part, she did not have a clue what her statement in that office meant, or where it would lead. Now, over ten years later, after many “adventures” and endless hours of study Craig and Suzzan both have a clearer understanding of their mission.

A crucial moment for Craig and Suzzan in their studies came when God led them to the Gnostic teachings. They then embraced the existence of multiple layers within the Spirit and Soul planes. The Catholic, meaning universal Church called the Gnostics heretics. (Note: At this time, there was no distinction between Catholicism and Orthodoxy.) However, they were surprised to learn that many scholars believe that some Gnostic sects were formed earlier than the Orthodox/Catholic; making the formation of these sects the closest to the time Jesus walked the earth. Until fairly recently, the only source we had about the Gnostics were the church fathers who were known as heresiologists writing to contest the Gnostic teachers of the second century. We said until recently because in 1945, near Nag Hammadi, Upper Egypt, a collection of Gnostic texts were found, many of which had teachings that were contested and therefore recorded by the second century heresiologists. With this new information the couple uncovered a very different interpretation of Biblical events.

One of the most startling pieces of information to which God guided them was that the Old Testament was also multifaceted, with one layer possibly being an historical record of several major cataclysms. Another amazing discovery was that the Human Race might have been genetically altered by an alien race. All of these discoveries have been covered in their second book, Love the Common Denominator: My Journey to the Truth, and the third book, The True Philosophers’ Stone. The title of this missive is The Good News: An Alternate Theory, and another meaning for Good News, was thought to be the Gospel or New Testament. So with this premise what Craig and Suzzan wish to do is offer an alternate hypothesis for interpreting and understanding the New Testament and the part some main characters played in humanity’s evolution.

THE BEGINNING

The Gospels of Mark and John begin with the Holy Spirit’s entering Jesus at his baptism. Likewise we feel that it is appropriate to start at the beginning, but is that the real beginning of the story? Gnostic teachers would answer with an emphatic No! They would tell us the beginning of Christ’s entry into this realm began with the fall of Sophia/Wisdom (herein after referred to as Sophia), the feminine side of the last pair of the Pleroma emanated. At this point, we feel it may be beneficial to relate what God told us about the Divine realm “It is impossible for the human brain to comprehend how spiritual forces operate.” We can only identify with spiritual operation by relating to concepts we do comprehend. In point of fact, it wasn’t until the recent discovery of quantum physics that we began to understand energy, atoms and chemical forces. When the Gnostic teacher Valentinus wrote The Gospel of Truth, about nineteen hundred years ago, humanity didn’t even understand electricity, let alone atomic and sub-atomic particles. Consequently, the Gnostics tried to use terms that their contemporaries could understand. These analogies in no way meant that they saw the Divine realm in the same way as the mythical demigods whom the Greeks thought resided on Mount Olympus. Additionally we need to state that although we refer to God in “masculine” terms, this does not mean that we think of the Supreme Being as masculine. With this said, let us share what we came to understand about Gnostic emanations.

We are grateful to Professor Elaine Pagels for her translation of the teachings of the Gnostic Valentinians into a cohesive understanding. Apparently the followers of Valentinus, who according to one report nearly became pope before his separation from orthodoxy told a mythical story to explain the beginning of everything. The myth said that the First Father or Supreme Being desired to be known, and so projected Himself into His consort, Silence, which brought forth two emanations, Mind (masculine) and Truth (feminine). This pair in turn brought forth the Logos (masculine) and Life (feminine), who brought forth the pair Humanity (masculine) and Church (feminine). (It is important to keep in mind these are ancient terms that have been translated into English and should not be confused with the definitions of the words church and humanity used today.) These six emanations, together with Silence and the Supreme Being, made up what the Valentinians referred to as the Ogdoad (8). The pair Humanity and Church also brought forth a pair who subsequently emanated another pair. Eventually, apart from the Ogdoad there were eleven more pairs, (22) which completed the thirty members of the Divine realm, which the Gnostics called the Pleroma. Each pair consisted of both masculine and feminine aspects working together in unison.

As we have said, the human mind can only conceptualize Divine powers in the most vague terms. This is why Jesus taught in parables and analogies; our vocabulary is wholly inadequate. Consequently, to attempt to put the pairs of emanations into our frame of reference is extremely difficult. Even so, God explained to us that rather than seeing these pairs in terms of couples, we should regard them as pairs of opposites, such as active and passive or positive and negative. Unfortunately the word “negative” has become connected to anything evil, but negative here needs to be seen as analogous to, relatively speaking, the negative prong of an electrical appliance’s plug working in conjunction with the positive prong. Both the positive and negative prongs are needed for the appliance to operate. Another example of how Divine potencies work together is the flower (passive) being pollinated by the bee (active); both depends upon each other.

Valentinus tells us the problem began as Sophia; the feminine side of the last pair to be emanated went in search of her origin without her partner, who was referred to as (What-has-been-willed). We wondered if “he” could be seen as the Divine Will?

Because Sophia acted without her male partner, What-has-been-willed, she went against the natural order. In seeking the Supreme Being, she turned back and, in the words of Valentinus, “Was in danger of being absorbed into the Father’s sweetness.” We understand this to mean that when she beheld the magnificence of God, she became mesmerized and moved to rejoin Him. This is akin to a moth flying too close to the flame. Like a moth gets destroyed or absorbed by the fire, Sophia was in danger of being annihilated. However, unlike the exposed flame, the Supreme Being is surrounded by a power, or in the modern vernacular, a force field, that is referred to as the Limit. The difference between this force field and others was the Gnostic Limit had consciousness, and had the capability of supporting and restoring Sophia to her rightful place within the Pleroma.

Unfortunately, the emotions Sophia experienced (fear, grief, confusion and ignorance) could not be absorbed into the Pleroma and were expelled from the Divine plane. This meant that she became separated from parts of herself. To use an analogy, this would be similar to a person’s gangrenous arm or leg being amputated. Because Sophia was a member of the Pleroma, she was entirely infused with Divine power. To avoid the rest of the Pleroma becoming contaminated, for want of a better description, a Veil was temporarily placed between the Divine realm and that portion of Sophia, which was expelled. Also to prevent it’s happening again, the Supreme Being emanated the Christ, along with His partner the Holy Spirit, to teach the members of the Pleroma of their progenitor.

Humanity has retained the memory of the union between these emanations through the myths and legends of creator gods and goddesses. These deities are known by different names throughout the world, such as; Shakti and Shiva, El and Astarte or Ashteroth, Baal and Baalti, and Zeus and Hera. Gradually the populations divided these pairs into sun/sky-gods and earth-goddesses. Civilizations that used brute force to rule and conquer their neighbors, gravitated toward the veneration of “sun/sky-gods,” which they saw demonstrated their power through manifestations of visible eclipses and thunderbolts. Tribal communities that relied on their survival by cooperation with “Mother Nature” came to venerate the feminine side of deity through the goddess. Regardless of later civilizations having given predominance to the male gods, the creative forces were always seen as dual. The concept of rulers as king and queen and emperor and empress, also reflected the union of the members of the Pleroma.

Writing of the “birth” of Divine powers puts the process in some kind of sequential order. We live in a linear universe; however, this is only experienced beneath the Veil. There is no past, present or future above the Veil. There is only NOW. Consequently, the Supreme Being’s emanating the Christ and the Holy Spirit would have happened simultaneously with the other emanations.

Because the Supreme Being emanated the Christ and the Holy Spirit they were superior, so to speak, to the other members of the Pleroma. In fact, this is where the concept of the Trinity makes entry; the Father (Supreme Being), the Son (the Christ) and the daughter (the Holy Spirit.) The term “only-begotten” is only applied to the Christ and has caused more confusion over the person of Jesus than any other designation. It has been interpreted as not born from God, but a part of God. God had told us the key to the mysteries is hidden in our language (English). This key can be applied to help us understand the difference between the Christ and Holy Spirit and the other members of the Pleroma. The members of the Ogdoad had resulted through the First Father/Supreme Being’s “projecting” Himself into His Consort, Silence. If we remember that a projector is used to “project” images onto a screen, we can see the difference. The word “emanates” means to bring forth from the source. In other words, the Christ and Holy Spirit, rather than being a projection or “image” of the Supreme Being, were of His substance. Despite the Church making the Holy Spirit masculine, as the partner of the Christ, she was feminine. Hence the Holy Spirit could be thought of as the “only begotten” daughter of the Supreme Being.

All of the above is very difficult to understand in scientific terms. However, God communicated to us if instead of names such as Mind, Life, Humanity and Limit, we think in terms of frequencies as in light, sound, vibration, and molecular bonds, then it becomes closer to today’s scientific view. Later, we will return to this concept.

Desiring to rescue or recover her lost aspects, Sophia united with the Christ. Ptolemy, a successor to Valentinus taught that Sophia and the Christ transformed her fear into water, her grief into air, her confusion into earth and her ignorance into fire. These four elements were then used to create everything in the universe.

Earlier we discussed how the Human Race had retained the knowledge of the masculine and feminine powers by the worshipping of male and female “gods and goddesses.” You may have noticed that in the list of deities we didn’t include Osiris and Isis that is because they were actual historical figures. Also Isis represented Sophia and Osiris signified the Christ. There was a legend that Isis with her consort; Osiris corrected the watchers mistake with humanity. [In the ancient Book of Enoch, translated by Richard Laurence, the author relates that these “watchers” reveal the mysteries to mankind, which results in the multiplying of evil.]

In our 2nd book, Love the Common Denominator, Osiris was included in the Christ-like teachers. We also demonstrated that the rituals and rites of Isis were adapted into Mariolatry, the worship of Mary the mother of Jesus. In addition, we had discovered through our studying that Isis was known not only as Osiris’ wife but also his sister. Abraham and Sarah reflected this and this is why in many ancient civilizations the rulers were often brother and sister.

Even though we have been speaking of Sophia in feminine terms “she” shouldn’t be seen as a goddess. God had said that humanity is destined to unite the opposites: darkness and light, male and female and spirit and matter. So to think of the Gnostic emanations in terms of male and female gods and goddesses could be an error. Rather, it would be more appropriate to think of them as androgynous. We had found it interesting to learn that the Greek term for spirit is pneuma, which is neuter, neither masculine nor feminine, but both.

The elements of the universe made from Sophia’s Divine residue (emotions) became immersed in the Life Principle and lay dormant waiting to be awakened. So the seemingly interminable cycles of evolution began to transmute the elements (emotions) back into Spirit.

Due to the elements containing Sophia’s essence, they were of a dual nature, spiritual and material. They also contained both intelligence from Nous or Mind and the energy of life from Life. And so to redeem her residue, the Demiurge, was brought forth by Sophia and the Christ. The Demiurge, which the Gnostics called Ialdaboath, was the Creator and God of the Old Testament and has been worshiped throughout the world under various names. Because the Creator/Demiurge was beneath the Veil a new realm was created known as the Soul realm, which encompassed multiple layers including the astral plane. Every being beneath the Veil became ensouled.

The Gnostics believed that the Creator remained ignorant of his true origins, which they think is evinced with his statement in the Old Testament, “I am a jealous God etc,” whereas Jesus taught us that the Heavenly Father was Love. One of the first directives received was that our mission involved “vindicating Jehovah.” We learned this meant removing violent acts from his responsibility: more on this later.

The Demiurge/Creator’s role was as the Architect of the universe to administer evolution. He was unaware of the Divine sparks laying dormant in the elements, and so with the statement “Let there be Light” he unwittingly began the awakening of the sparks. Obviously the “Light” referred to in Genesis is not daylight or sunlight as this statement is made before the creation of the sun and moon or stars. We think the “Light” in Genesis should be seen in terms of Electricity. When we switch on the light in a darkened room we reveal the contents. In other words through the senses we become aware of the contents of the room. Even a blind person uses his or her senses of touch, smell and hearing to determine their surroundings. Consequently, if we connect Light with the enlivening of the Life Principle encased within the elements, then the Big Bang can also be associated with this event. This instant can also be considered as the beginning of the objective plane and linear time.

It may also help to think of the Divine sparks, dormant within the elements in terms of the sparks that fly off from a bonfire. They have no volition of their own and are completely at the “mercy” of the wind. The bonfire would represent the Supreme Being, however, the sparks that fly off into the night become separated from it. Many New Age philosophers teach that each human being is Divine and therefore does not need any Divine help. In a way they are correct. Every member of the Human Race is born with the potential of awakening the Divine spark within him or her. But, and this is a big but, until they give up thinking of themselves as separate individuals with complete autonomy, they are like the single spark that flies off into the night, they will eventually cease to shine.

Because the sparks immersed in the elements came from above the Veil, they had the capacity to co-create. All they waited for was the development of the intellect, which occurred with the development of Homo Sapien Sapiens, which enabled the Life Principle to access Mind/Nous to make this a reality.

THE AWAKENING

Our Solar system was chosen as the arena for the recovery of the Divine sparks through evolution of the Life principle, which the sparks are immersed within. The sparks became the spirit within all life, both incarnate and disincarnate. As stated in order for the sparks to gain understanding the Life principle had to develop intellect. Esoteric teaching said that the Life principle moves through the mineral, vegetable, animal, before becoming human. All Life is conscious, but not all living/conscious beings are capable of rational thought. Let’s examine each category. Most people think of the mineral kingdom as inert matter, but minerals such as crystals grow and do not remain stagnant. Does this mean that minerals are alive? The first category that many scientists acknowledge as sentient or living is the plant kingdom. Plants are conscious and some people believe that because they are sentient, plants can feel pain. Included in the next category are insects. Colonies of ants and bees do not live individual lives but rather instinctually act for the good of the hive/hill/nest. Initially the animal kingdom; such as packs of wolves, hyenas and wild dogs, and herds of antelopes, zebra and wildebeests instinctually repeat this behavior. Nevertheless, the goal of evolution is to drive the Life Principle to individuality. The first sign of this is the appearance of family/blood groups and continues to develop in the animal kingdom through species like the big cats, such as tigers and leopards. The ultimate individualism came when the Life principle evolved into the Human Race. This is when evolution took a huge leap. The allegory of Adam and Eve becoming aware that they were naked symbolized this. Also, the imbibing of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, apart from relating to the Life principle gaining intellect, as well as the ability to discern right from wrong, also demonstrated the ability of self or individual awareness. What we were surprised to learn recently was that the Divine forces above the Veil were waiting, so to speak, for the development of the Life Principle into human beings.

Like every other living being beneath the Veil, the Life Principle slowly developed souls as vehicles for the Divine sparks. Each soul was the instrument the Life Principle used to evolve; however, it was only with the advent of the individual human being that the soul could come into play. When the Life Principle developed intellect by becoming human, it could then begin the process of spiritualizing the elements, to return the sparks or residue of Sophia to Spirit.

The Appendix on The Relevance Of The Doctrines Of Rounds And Root-Races Today in the 2nd book Love the Common Denominator and the 3rd book The True Philosophers’ Stone stated that the separation of the sexes occurred during the 3rd Root-race. Genesis chapter one reports the creation of the Human Race. The scripture says, “created He them male and female.” This would appear to mean that not only the creation of human beings had occurred before Adam and Eve, but also like the Divine emanations they were androgynous. So what does the story of Adam and Eve mean? We believe one of the multiple meanings is relating the separation of the sexes. The allegory of Eve being created from a rib of Adam is a metaphor for this. Interestingly the name Eve in Hebrew means Life, as recounted in the second appendix in Love the Common Denominator. Remembering that Life’s partner was the Logos and that they were members of the Ogdoad, was the writer of Genesis trying to impart yet more secret information by calling “the first woman” Eve? Some people have interpreted the name of Adam to mean the element earth. Tradition has that Eve came from a rib of Adam, but curiously, we learned recently that one school of thought replaces the rib with the heart.

Life is in a manner of speaking the ancestor of Sophia. Recalling that Sophia’s emotions were transformed into the elements of the universe, could one of the meanings of the allegory of Eve being taken from Adam be that the Spirit of Wisdom, Life is within matter? As stated evolution is the means used to redeem the lost essences or emotions of Sophia, and because the Life principle developed a soul, the Divine sparks became connected to the Soul Plane. The Divine spark now became the Spirit encased in the vehicle of the soul. While in the temporary vehicle, the Divine spark or Spirit’s role was through intellect, to understand the Truth that the individual Spirit’s destiny is to reunite with the All, the Supreme Being.

Although the makeup of humankind is seen in modern terms as variously, Mind, Body and Soul, Mind, Body and Spirit or Spirit, Soul and Body, the ancients saw the human being consisting of seven separate bodies. Esoteric teaching tells us that three of these seven bodies are souls. These souls are animal, human and spiritual. Is Genesis relating the insertion of the spiritual soul when it records that after the Lord breathed Life into Adam he became a living soul? Again, obviously Life cannot mean literal life, as it already existed. However, if we remember that Life was the partner of the Logos and these two were members of the first eight or Ogdoad, then we can see the possibility that the higher spiritual forces were acting through the Creator/Demiurge to infuse humankind with the spiritual soul. In addition, is it a coincidence that humanity is the only species on the planet to possess fully articulate speech? Considering that Life’s partner is the Logos, which is also known as the Word, is it surprising that humankind developed the ability to converse with one another? It is by the secret oral teachings handed down through the generations that the Truth has survived. Nonetheless, like many gifts, they are double-edged swords. The ability to speak allows for the Truth to be communicated throughout the ages. Conversely, because we are co-creators, humanity’s words have power and depending on the intent can be either benevolent as in prayers and blessings or malevolent as in curses and condemnations.

With evolution, everything was progressing according to plan until the unforeseen event occurred. At this point we feel it is important to share with you what we were told about life in the universe. Although the development of the universe had resulted in multiple worlds, some with intelligent life, only the Life Principle of the Solar system contains the Divine sparks of Sophia, therefore the Spirit of the Supreme Being.

Ever since Roswell, people have speculated over whether or not there is intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy. With the numerous reports of alien sightings, we concluded that all the witnesses couldn’t be delusional; therefore there was something to the phenomena. Throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties, news reports centered on people being abducted by “aliens.” Recently, many authors related contact with extraterrestrials through meditation and channeling. The first thing we wondered was why an obviously advanced species would be interested in the Human Race? If the sightings and contacts are anything to go by, the alien vehicles are way beyond our current technology. So if they have nothing to learn from human beings, why the interest?

The answer as to why the aliens are interested in humanity comes with understanding the power of human emotions. Recalling that all the elements in the universe were created from Sophia’s rejected emotions, we can see the reason. As stated, only the Life Principle within our Solar system contains the Divine sparks and until they developed intellect through the Human Race, the Divine power was unavailable. The power became accessible through human emotions. In reading the numerous channeled books purporting that some outside force was going to save humanity, one aspect kept repeating itself. What these “benevolent” beings want from humanity is their emotions. It is through humanity’s emotions that the real Divine power is discovered.

Gautama Buddha taught that suffering releases the soul from samsara, or the cycle of rebirth/reincarnation. This statement has generally been thought to mean that life on Earth was meant to be painful. It was only when a soul had learned all the lessons and become disincarnate that the individual could cease experiencing physical life and therefore experience the bliss and happiness of Nirvana/Heaven/Devachan or whatever term they used to describe paradise. As the majority of people’s lives were a constant struggle, this gave them hope that their suffering would eventually end. Even so, when we remember that the universe consists of Sophia’s emotions a deeper meaning of Gautama’s teachings is revealed. The Life Principle of the Solar system was chosen as the way to redeem the lost essence or Divine sparks. Redemption is achieved through the Life Principle in the form of humanity transmuting their emotions, it isn’t the suffering that releases the Spirit or Divine sparks, but the emotions the suffering generates. Whenever a person transmutes their emotions, they help change the world and bring paradise or Nirvana/Heaven/Devachan to Earth.

Note: Here we need to add an important update that we have recently determined through additional evidence. This is that we need to correct the identity of the perpetrators of the unforeseen event. Originally, we thought that as only a supremely advanced people would be able to use genetic manipulation, they could not be human. However, having reconsidered our conclusions, together with additional input, we now know that the genetic manipulators could not have been extraterrestrials. We addressed this fact in our new book FOR THE CHILDREN, which we wrote for Dr. Carol Sue Rosin and so we will use the appropriate extracts to illustrate the reasoning behind this change of heart:

For quite some time we interpreted the Watcher’s Mistake as being responsible for the proverbial Fall, but knowledge is dynamic. Therefore, as we evolve and are able to assimilate deeper understandings our interpretation often changes. In Craig’s and my case, there were two main reasons for reevaluating our conclusions, our discussions with Carol and working with our friend and associate, Dr. Carl Johan Calleman. Having come to know, respect, and work closely with Carol, we discussed our views on the role extraterrestrials have played in history in particular the theory of their role in the Fall. With her absolute conviction that the cosmic cultures did not cause the Fall, we began to wonder about our conclusions.
Throughout our journey, we have found it is essential to pay attention to everything. Often through a new friend like Carol’s perspective, or new information emerging we have made the greatest breakthroughs. Our recent questioning of our interpretation of the Watcher’s Mistake is a perfect example of the need to remain not only open, but also attentive…

In chapter VII’s section Forbidden Fruit, we mentioned our discovery of new evidence about the so-called gods of Sumer and Babylon. Surprisingly, it was not through a new book, but instead one over 100 years old.
In 1905, Julian Morgenstern published The Doctrine of Sin in the Babylonian Religion, in Germany. As the title implies it is a study on the ancient Babylonian religion. The author believes that ancient writings that referred to the gods were recounting actual historical events.
Since the word worship originates from the word work, it is a fair assumption that the Babylonians did not just worship the gods they literally worked for them. Yet, in these tablets, there is no mention of the gods requiring people to mine gold. On the contrary, the only worship/work Morgenstern refers to is the individual’s duty to feed the gods, bread, and wine.
A key point in the tablets pointed out by Morgenstern was the need for purity. The gods required not only the food to be pure, but also the provider. Through this Law, the need for purity came to be associated with performing rituals of purification. Morgenstern observes, “It was first of all his duty to keep himself ritually pure. Any neglect of these duties was sufficient for the food to miss the mark and to cause the anger of the gods.”
The Babylonians interpreted impurity as sin, or more accurately “missing the mark.” Nonetheless, this teaching was far more practical because impurity became associated with sickness. It was akin to the Jewish reaction to lepers. Nevertheless, in these writings we find another level of understanding. Anyone who was impure (sick) was forbidden to participate in any religious rite or service. Instead, their “sin” put them in a kind-of quarantine.
Many of the tablets refer to a person suffering from a sickness as being afflicted with evil spirits. We see this practice in some of the prayers and supplications reported in the book concerning how the populace viewed sickness:

  • Mayest thou be freed from transgression, wickedness, curse, sickness, sighing, witchcraft, spell, charm, evil machinations of men.
  • Uncleanliness has come against me to judge my cause, to decide my decision
  • Tear out the evil sickness of my body
  • Destroy all evil of my flesh and my sinews
  • May the evil in my body, my flesh, and my sinews on this day come forth, and may I see the Light.

 

Neighbors also viewed sickness and disease as a person being possessed of the evil spirits; sound familiar? You have only to read the New Testament to read how the ancients attributed Jesus’ healing to casting out evil spirits. Compare:

  • They put a woeful fever in his body
  • A bane of evil hath settled in his body
  • An evil disease they have put in his body
  • An evil plague hath settled in his body
  • An evil venom they have put in his body
  • An evil curse hath settled in his body
  • Which have been put in the body of the sick man

 

With Luke 13:11 “There was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.” In this case, the passage goes on to relate how the Jews castigated Jesus for healing on the Sabbath. His response clearly shows that her infirmity is attributed to evil, although it was not from any fault of her own. Verse 16 has, “And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
Ancient civilizations had no concept of bacteria or viruses and could only interpret unexplained experiences from their point of reference. So keeping this in mind, we can perhaps see what they were relating to from our frame of reference. Obviously, anything out of the ordinary to them was supernatural and attributed to the power of the gods. Sickness came on suddenly. As a result, superstitious, uneducated people saw this mysterious evil that afflicted people as the god’s punishment. In this way, ancient people saw sickness not only caused by evil spirits, but also attributed it to the gods inflicting individuals with sickness for disobeying them. Morgenstern asserts that for the Babylonians the terms, sin, uncleanliness, sickness, possession by evil spirits, are pure synonyms referring to the condition of a the body resulting from “divine anger.”
To be honest, like most rational people we never considered sickness and disease as caused by evil spirits. However, working with Phil on his investigation into the teachings of The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz introduced me to information that made me rethink this assessment. It concerned the teaching on what happens when we sleep.
Anyone studying metaphysics will know that we have more than one body in our energy field. For those unfamiliar with metaphysical teachings, think of the human aura, whose color reflects an individual’s mood. The human aura is multi-layered. These different layers represent our individual and unique energy field. The two most relevant to our discussion here are the Astral and Etheric bodies. Phil explains:

“...when a person sleeps his or her “I” and Astral body detach from the Physical body that remains with the Etheric body in bed. During this time when the two higher entities of a human being have exited the body, higher beings radiate their energies into the sleeping Physical body, regenerating it. As stated, the Astral body records all that has happened during the day, taking the information into the Astral World at night. Regrettably, this means the influence of the higher beings on the Physical body is often hampered because the individual was not true to his or her spiritual self.
We discussed how harmful lying was in terms of spiritual progress in the previous day; perhaps this is why Shakespeare was inspired to write “Above all, to thine own self be true.” Along with lying, a more obvious infraction would be violence of any kind, in particular murder. In both cases parts of the perpetrator’s Etheric body separate completely from the body. Floating independently through space, these parts of Etheric bodies are of such a fine substance that they cannot be seen. In reality our world is full of such subtle objects acting as a hindrance to our development. All of this may explain why people see ghosts where severe crimes have been committed.
When our actions are so removed from spirituality, such as in war, parts of the Etheric body forced to separate are so dense that they become the smallest molecules; i.e., viruses and bacteria that generate illness, and epidemics.
At such times, pre-incarnate souls determine to take on the illness to transmute and dissipate its effect. An example of this could be seen after WWI with the outbreak of Spanish Flu that claimed 50 million lives, predominantly healthy young adults. This was a supreme sacrifice, even if it was unconscious at the human level.”

Nonetheless, lying and murder are not the only cause for energetic parts of a human being to become germs and viruses. Far more dangerous than either of these is the practice of magic. As stated, the Fall caused magic to enter the world. With the presence of the Shadow, some people were incited to use magic against their neighbors. The direct result was releasing epidemics into the populace, which threatened the survival of our race. It was for this express reason that the ETs came to the Earth 7,000 years ago.
The Babylonian tablets describe how the gods or rather ETs approached the problem. They used holy water. For the gods water was the giver of life, particularly the mouth of the Tigris and Euphrates. In fact, the text according to Morgenstern says, “Marduk is directed by EA to take the water from the mouth of the two streams and with it sprinkle the sick man.” He believes, “This was but natural. The waters of the Euphrates and Tigris were sacred; therefore efficacious in driving out evil spirits.”
Further on Morgenstern relates that the tablets refer to the use of prayers in conjunction with the water. Over time, people sanctified natural springs using them to exorcise evil spirits. Although, Morgenstern believes the first and therefore purest form of treatment was sprinkling water, the use of sound (prayer) makes sense. When we remember the work of Masuru Emoto, then using sound to purify, or alter water is logical.
The Watcher’s task was to observe the Life-Principle as it evolved on Earth. Consequently, when the ETs saw the consequence of the populace altering their consciousness, they came to try to help. First, they came as kind-of doctors helping the population deal with the epidemic. Could this be why, the tablets report the gods giving the doomed man evil spirits? Obviously, if they were inoculating people and or injecting medicine, to the common person, it might appear that the ETs were causing the illness, especially if the patient died. One of the side effects of magic, so to speak was the destroyer of rational thinking—superstition.
Apart from helping the Human Race survive the epidemics, The ETs goal was also to help the people understand their purpose. Therefore, rather than exploiting Humanity, after the spiritual beings caused the Fall by introducing magic to the world, the ETs began visiting Earth in an attempt to try to mitigate the damage…
In the Forbidden Fruit section of Chapter 7, we concluded that the angels gave human beings access to the Astral Plane before they were ready. We also observed how the angels’ actions permitted the lower thoughts and emotions of humans to permeate the higher planes, corrupting the Angelic Realm. I had always found it difficult to understand how angelic beings could be jealous of us and betray their Creator. Even allowing for angels possessing emotions, considering the belief their creation was “a little above” human beings. It is inconceivable that a being of the vibration to exist in the Divine Realm could spontaneously develop emotions of a much lower vibration and frequency. The only explanation was that something must have caused their exposure to these lower vibrations…
In our writings, we speculated that the ETs traveled through the Astral Plane, which is why they can appear and disappear at will. This was the main reason we made the error of deducing that as they moved through the Astral Plane it corrupted some of them, causing them to align with the Shadow. However, having determined their nature is unchanged, we realized that they must have a unique makeup that allowed them to move through the domain of the Shadow and remain untainted. They did. Moving through the Astral Plane did not taint the ETs because of their attunement to the Love Frequency.
By operating, or if you prefer vibrating, at a higher frequency outside, or rather inside the Schumann Resonance cavity they were able to remain wholly unaffected by our thoughts and emotions permeating the Astral Plane. They are advising us to adopt the higher Love Frequency, because the ego and pain-body use the lower frequency of 7.8 Hz. Consequently, by rising to the Love Frequency the ego and pain-body lose control over us.
One of the main reasons the ETs have not landed on the White House lawn is because of their frequency; the Love Frequency makes them powerless to defend themselves. This is not because of an inability to. There is ample evidence of the ETs ability to disarm weapons. It is because their frequency makes them incapable of physical violence. Therefore should they be physically confronted by military personnel attempting to detain them, they would be helpless. We realize that this is in direct contradiction to the consensus of opinion. Most people tend to think that such an extremely advanced species would be able to swat us like a fly. However, because they have evolved past the animalistic nature that the Human Race still struggles with, violence of any kind, even in defense, is an anathema to them.
Evolved beings are pacifists, which is why the ETs offer advice to a select few. Even then, when the Shadow was in play, some of the contactees became a problem. Muddying the waters of the ET agenda, some contactees’ pain-bodies created memories of a truly terrifying experience. Nonetheless, enough people like Carol were able to receive their message of Peace and it has entered the mass consciousness. Carol told us that like the Star Trek Prime Directive, the cosmic cultures would never interfere with the Human Race’s development. This fact did not surprise us, as there is a universal directive never to usurp free will. Then of course, there is the point that the cosmic cultures were tasked with watching us.
For that reason, until we show them we will not respond with violence, they will remain observers. Nevertheless, because the Fall was not the fault of the Human Race, from time to time they have tried to help us. The truth is they care deeply for us and hope when enough people hear the wisdom of their message; the Human Race will adopt the Frequency of Love. Ironically, the cosmic cultures represent our evolution into the Frequency of Love, where we too will be incapable of violence of any kind.
In the Frequency of Love, everyone has evolved past all concept of separateness. Hate, prejudice, envy, jealously, and cruelty are concepts of the past. Compassion and Understanding dominates our consciousness. There is no such thing as selfishness or self-interest because although we understand we are individuals, we also know we are each a part of a whole that is interconnected.
In short, when we correct the Fall by integrating the ego and dissolving the pain-body, we align with the Divine Will. Then as stewards of the Earth, we recognize our role in working together to ensure that we preserve our planet for our children. Joining our brothers and sisters of the universe again, we gain access to all the cosmic culture’s technology amassed over several millennia. As a result, we will restore our beautiful Garden-Water planet to its full glory. For instance, I was recently given that our cosmic brothers and sisters could return our atmosphere to the condition it was before the Industrial Revolution, at the push of a button so to speak. They can also remove all toxic waste and pollution, which would open up many acres of land for cultivation. Is this not what everyone wants?

With this update and some might say reversal of our theory, does the information below, still have validity? We believe it does, because it describes how humanity became corrupted. The only thing we need to do is identify who the genetic manipulators were.
Naturally, as we are referring to events occurring long before historians wrote anything down, we have little choice, but to speculate over this. However, when we consider how far the human race has advanced in a little over 100 years, and then bring in the evidence of advanced civilizations, such as Atlantis, we believe it is possible to allow for the possibility that they were human.
We know from ancient tradition that the world experiences periodic resetting at the end of a precessional Age. Moreover, these resettings would sometimes occur during the presence of advanced civilization. If we consider that causing the spiritual separation of the masculine and feminine principle was very serious. So much so that it created such a rift, it indelibly seared it into the subconscious that it has survived up to today, in the myth of the Garden of Eden and the Fall. Therefore, let us review the information below from the perspective that our protagonists were not ETs, but rather advanced human scientists driven by their false self, with the support of the Shadow.

The unforeseen event, as recorded in the appendix on The Relevance Of The Doctrines Of Rounds And Root-Races Today, was the genetic manipulation of the Earth’s native species. At this time the Creator/Demiurge had created an infrastructure that governed the evolution of the soul. In this system, the Divine sparks through evolution, were slowly re-accessing their spiritual origins. This infrastructure included archons and astrological powers. The Creator/Demiurge had become the impartial judge of the universe, where free will was sacrosanct. The unforeseen event as was stated in the aforementioned appendix, was the human race taking on alien DNA, which meant the Human Race did not gradually incorporate and transmute the negative emotions of Sophia. On the contrary humanity was suddenly thrust forward in an unbalanced existence. This resulted in the infusion of the counterfeit spirit, which was known as the lower ego. The appendix also related that it wasn’t until the Creator/Demiurge adopted mercy that other Divine forces could become involved. Another word for mercy is compassion, and that is the epitome of the Christ, so by adopting mercy, the Creator/Demiurge facilitated the entry of the Christ into our plane. Because the Christ had united with Sophia, they entered this realm together. They did this in order to teach the human race of their spiritual origins, which was accomplished with the instigation of the Wisdom Religion. The Wisdom Religion was taught through teachers such as Krishna, Pythagoras, Socrates, Confucius and Gautama Buddha, infused with the Christ and Sophia energy combination. Surprisingly, they were most successful when they inspired an individual. Whenever either the Christ or Sophia actually entered a teacher it took more time. First they would have to overcome the ego and animal instincts before bringing their chosen vessel to enlightenment. The long path Siddhartha took to become Gautama Buddha is evidence of this.

The Divine sparks or Spirit of Wisdom is hidden within the Life principle, which is encased within the soul. The human conscience began with humanity’s development of a spiritual soul, which the allegory of Adam becoming a living soul could be reporting. This was done to assist the human race as the redeemers of the Divine sparks. It is also important to keep in mind two things; one is that the substance that needs redemption is made up of Sophia’s emotions. The second point is that humanity has the capacity to create. This they do through their imagination, which in conjunction with their emotions and intent co-creates this reality.

As previously stated in the aforementioned appendix, when the Human Race was interfered with, the Creator/Demiurge had acted by reducing the life span and creating the Wheel of Necessity or the Law of Karma. He also created the astral plane in order to shield the upper levels from humanity’s depraved thoughts and to facilitate the purification of the Divine sparks in the astral plane through the Law of Karma. It was also stated that the Creator/Demiurge determined to send a chosen soul, a messiah to help the human race. The soul that was to sacrifice his life was born as the man Jesus. The sacrifice was required because as the judge of the Law, the Creator/Demiurge could not absolve the Law of Karma. Although the law had been put in place in order to assist humanity, because of the aspect of an eye for an eye or retaliation, it had become a vicious cycle where revenge was seen as justice. That is why a “sacrificial lamb” was required to absolve the retaliatory part of the law. The Creator tried to teach his children that they should leave the business of vengeance up to him, with his statement “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay.” (Romans 12:19)

Previously, we said that we were to vindicate Jehovah and this scripture provides the perfect example. Although St Paul wrote this in his letter to the Romans, what we did not realize was that he was referring to the Old Testament. (Leviticus 19:18 Deuteronomy 32:35) Although the latter scripture in Deuteronomy concerns how “Yahweh” will “avenge” Moses, the former in Leviticus is an injunction for constraint. “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge…” This sounded a great deal more just than vengeful and more indicative of a Divine being. Unfortunately, humanity wanted injustice eradicated and until they developed mercy could not conceive of the concept that kindness and compassion could “heap fiery coals” (Proverbs 25:22) on their antagonist’s head.

This is where the main characters enter the story. In our studies we had learned that the early church searched the scriptures to find all references to the messiah and applied them to Jesus. Unfortunately this led to the Church making him larger than life, with the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. Alas with this doctrine, Jesus has been removed from us. By making him God, many people cannot accept his statement that everything he did we could do and more.

A key element of the infancy narratives was to incorporate the fulfillment of the prophecy in Hosea 11:1, which said the father’s son, would be called out of Egypt. Let’s suppose for the sake of argument that the prophecy is relating to the messiah. If we accept this, is the Gospel of Matthew narrative correct? We would have to say NO, because our studies have revealed that the infancy stories were concocted in order to link Jesus to Moses.

Many scholars have hypothesized that Jesus was initiated into the Egyptian mystery schools. What if he had been born in Egypt rather than Nazareth or Bethlehem? It would certainly explain some of the mysterious events in the gospels. History records that many Jews settled in Alexandria, Egypt, after they returned from exile. In Alexandria were several mystery schools, such as Isis, Dionysus and Hermes. Isn’t it possible that some of those Jews could have been exposed to these mystery or esoteric schools?

There are several writings that point to Jesus and John the Baptist as being members of an ascetic Essene sect. We had been surprised to discover that the sect of Essenes wasn’t restricted to only an ascetic enclave whose remnants have been found in Qumran, near the Dead Sea. Apparently the Essenes also had a following within the general Jewish population and counted entire families as members.

There has been much speculation as to where Jesus was before his baptism by John, with some proposing that he was in India, while others favor his originating from Egypt. If we dismiss the infancy narratives (found in Matthew and Luke) along with the story of Jesus in the temple at the age of twelve, then two of the Gospels (Mark and John) have Jesus suddenly appearing at the river Jordan around the age of thirty. However, if we take into consideration the other writings, then maybe we can offer another explanation of the contradictions within the gospels. So with this premise in mind, we would like to present a different hypothesis for your consideration.

THE CALLING

Our hypothesis has Jesus growing up in Alexandria with no idea that he was destined to be the prophesied Jewish messiah. As an adolescent he entered the mystery school of Isis and was eventually initiated by the high priestess and trained in the arts of alchemy and magic. His training explains some of the more mysterious events, such as recorded in John 8:59 where, when the Pharisees tried to stone him, he escaped by becoming invisible to them.

At the same time as Jesus was being trained in Egypt, his cousin John had entered an ascetic Essene community. While he was there, John received a vision informing him that he was to prepare the way for the messiah. At the time he did not know that the messiah was his cousin Jesus. More than likely he told his teachers about the vision, but because the Essene leaders were waiting for Elijah to return and John didn’t fit the expected profile, his revelations were not received well. He was told to forget the vision and continue his studies.

Preconceptions of even the most well intentioned people can be deadly to spiritual truth. If the people interpreting the Truth are not only wrong but also people in powerful positions, then it is near impossible for anyone who offers a different interpretation to be accepted. Truth is absolute. It is only our capacity to understand the Truth that is dynamic. For example, the absolute Truth is that the planet Earth has always orbited the Sun, yet, less than one millennia ago people in power decreed it was heresy to state this Truth. When Galileo dared to challenge this decree, he was accused of heresy, and after being forced to recant, died a broken man under house arrest. We were surprised to hear that Pope John Paul II, not long before his death exonerated Galileo by announcing that those who condemned Galileo were wrong. This is a perfect demonstration of humanity’s dynamic ability to understand the Truth. Today because of the greater knowledge of astronomy, Galileo can be proved right every time someone looks through a telescope.

Reminiscent of many people who have been called, John tried to obey his teacher’s instructions, but also like many prophets he could not ignore the vision. Meanwhile, in Alexandria, Jesus’ parents wanted their son to know his Essene heritage before he had to marry (The Jewish custom was for a man to marry before his twentieth birthday.) Because a family member was already studying at an ascetic order, Jesus was sent to Palestine to join his cousin. Esoteric writings called, The Essene Gospel of Peace and The Essene Jesus report that Jesus became an Essene master.

Continuing with our hypothesis, John had tried to ignore his calling but it was too strong. Eventually unable to deny his destiny, John left the sect and went into the desert. Interestingly a documentary on the Dead Sea Scrolls said there were scrolls, which recorded that if a member of the community broke the rules, that member would be exiled and banished to the desert. Could this be why the gospel account of John states that John the Baptist survived in the desert by eating locusts and wild honey? (Mark 1:6)

Ultimately John was inspired to teach of the repentance of sins and the coming messiah. He also started baptizing, as a symbol for a new life. As he was baptizing, he spoke of the different baptisms, telling them that he baptized with water but another, which he would identify would baptize with fire and the Holy Ghost. (Mark 1:8) It was important for us to remember that John did not know that he was the reincarnation of Elijah. Like his cousin, Jesus was also driven to his destiny, arriving to be baptized by John. At the time, Jesus did not know that John was the reincarnation of Elijah and that he himself was the messiah, John spoke of. The Baptist had received a vision of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove alighting and remaining on the messiah, but he had not seen his face. The New Testament says that John recognized Jesus as the messiah before his baptism. All the same, in our hypothesis it wasn’t until after Jesus arose from the water and John saw the dove descending onto him that he knew his cousin was the messiah. Because John denied that he was Elijah, theologians use this to deny reincarnation. Still we need to remember that it was only after John had died and Jesus had experienced the transfiguration on the mountain that he understood both his and John’s role.

There has been much debate over what occurred at Jesus’ baptism. Putting aside the infancy narratives one would naturally assume that the Christ entered Jesus at his baptism, but that could be misleading. Remembering that the Christ-Sophia unity had secretly entered this world to reveal humanity’s true origins through Christ-like teachers, how do we explain this unique event? Understanding came with the information that the Christ had already entered Jesus before his baptism. If we dismiss the Immaculate Conception there are no extant writings that definitively state when Jesus became infused with the Christ. However, when we learned that the age of spiritual decision doesn’t occur until the individual has reached 21 years of age, we realized that it had to have been while he was with the Essenes. Many scholars have speculated over the identity of the teacher of righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Could Jesus have begun his ministry with the dualistic Essenes?

If we recall that Sophia and Christ caused the creation of both the Creator/Demiurge and the universe, and that the Christ’s partner is the Holy Spirit, then the episode at the baptism becomes clearer. The soul that was in Jesus was destined to be the prophesied Jewish messiah. The Christ and Sophia had chosen him to be the revealer of the Truth, and like all the other Christs, Jesus was destined to be anointed for the role. At the baptism, Christ’s partner, the Holy Spirit joined the Christ; creating a Divine power that could transform the man Jesus. It was also the unification of the Divine feminine, the Holy Spirit, with the Divine masculine, the Christ.

The vision of a pearl necklace, recorded in the second book, Love the Common Denominator, was given to demonstrate that the Christ had taught in various guises throughout the world. What wasn’t made known to us until later was that the Christ had united with Sophia to create the universe. Our studies had shown us that the common thread beneath all religions is the Wisdom Religion. This made perfect sense, as in order for the Christ and Sophia to rescue the Divine sparks, they would need to teach humanity how to overcome the lower self or ego and bring forth the true spiritual self.

Despite the different Christs throughout history and the similarity of their message, we always felt that Jesus Christ was somehow different. It was by understanding the Gnostic teaching of Valentinus that we saw why we felt this way.

As previously stated, apart from the Supreme Being, all emanations had been in pairs, incorporating both male and female energies. If we recall the whole thing began with Sophia separating from her partner, What-has-been-willed. By the Holy Spirit (feminine) joining the Christ (masculine) in the man Jesus, the Divine Spirit within his soul was able to gain preeminence. But if the Christ and Sophia were united, was “she” in Jesus too? We received the answer when we learned there was a legend that said Sophia had incarnated into Mary Magdalene.

The New Testament records that Jesus was driven by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by Satan. However, we see this as an analogy of the true spirit of Jesus overcoming the counterfeit spirit or shadow side of his character. Every human being has to discover his or her Divine self. Each soul does this by identifying and overcoming his or her Achilles heel or weakness. Because of the kind of temptations Jesus faced, it appears that his weakness was pride. We realize that this sounds almost blasphemous, but in this hypothesis we propose that Jesus was a man who demonstrated to humanity that all must change the way they think (repent) to become their true spiritual selves with eyes opened. With this basis we all realize there is individual weakness that must be dealt with. Jesus wasn’t perfect. You have only to read the gospels to see that several times he showed the lower ego through human emotions, such as anger, frustration and fear. If you balk at Jesus having been afraid, just read the account of the Garden of Gethsemane.

The first miracle recorded in the gospel of John is of Jesus changing water into wine during the marriage feast at Cana. The gospel account has the mother of Jesus instigating the “miracle,” however; we recently read that the Greek term that is translated into “mother” is more usually translated as “companion” or “sister.” Hardly the way Jesus would address his mother. But there is one woman who many writings identify as the companion of Jesus, Mary Magdalene.

Many authors and scholars have speculated that the Magdalene was a priestess of Isis. Our hypothesis has Jesus being initiated into the mystery school of Isis and being trained in alchemy and magic. We ask: if Sophia had incarnated in Mary Magdalene, is it possible that Jesus knew her before his baptism? Could she have joined him shortly after? The New Testament is silent on how Jesus came to meet the Magdalene and quite remiss in keeping all the Marys straight from one gospel to the next. She is first mentioned in the synoptic gospel of Luke. In 8:2, the writer of Luke, after saying “certain women” had been cured of possession in which he includes Mary Magdalene; he adds that Jesus exorcised seven devils from her. The author then grants that these women “ministered unto him of their substance.” In our studies we had discovered that the Greek term for minister is diakones, from which the word deacon derives.

Previously we said that Jesus was chosen to be anointed for his mission. Interestingly the writer of Luke is the only gospel that places Jesus’ anointing early in his work. All the other gospel writers place this event at Bethany just before the crucifixion. However, the gospel of John has “a Mary” performing the anointing. There is a curious comment in parentheses in the chapter before the anointing in John. John11: 1 has after introducing Lazarus of Bethany, his sisters Mary and Martha (“It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick”). This is curious; not only Matthew, Mark and Luke have Simon’s house in Bethany where the anointing takes place, but also there is no mention of Lazarus or his sisters at the anointing. Yet in three of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark and John, Jesus uses the same words in addressing the disciples’ concerns over the use of such expensive ointment (Spikenard) for the anointing: “For ye have the poor with you always” (Mark 14:7) “For ye have the poor always with you” (Matthew 26:11) “For the poor always ye have with you” (John 12:8).

Our question was, why would the messiah need anointing for his burial? Being anointed in biblical times signified Divine endorsement. Surely this had already occurred at the baptism? However, if the anointing was to prepare the body for transformation, it makes sense. This would in any case make the anointer of great importance. Was this why the author of the gospel of John wanted to credit this important act with the younger sister of Lazarus and Martha?

Since in the gospel of Luke, Mary Magdalene is mentioned for the first time immediately after the “sinner” who anoints Jesus with precious ointment, history has branded her as the penitent sinner. Was Mary Magdalene’s anointing of Jesus signifying the reconnection between the Christ and Sophia? As for the reference to exorcizing seven devils, today many authors see the reference to the seven devils being exorcized as referring to the seven main chakras.

To return to the “miracle” at Cana: if the person who instigated the event is Mary Magdalene and she was a priestess of Isis, then she would have known that it would be a small thing for Jesus, an initiate well-schooled in alchemy, to alchemically alter the water to wine.

Because the gospel of John has Mary of Bethany, Lazarus and Martha’s sister anointing Jesus, many have deduced that Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene are one and the same person. The Church has encouraged this misidentification. With all due respect, this is an error. Only a priest or priestess could officially anoint someone. The fact of this being an official anointing is confirmed by Jesus in Matthew and Mark, with Jesus’ words to the disciples, “Verily I say unto you, where-soever this gospel be preached throughout (in) the whole world, this also that (this woman) she hath done shall be spoken (told) of for a memorial of her,” Matthew 26:13 and Mark 14:9. If we turn to Luke 10:40 Martha, presumably Lazarus’ sister, since the passage doesn’t say, complained that her sister, Mary, did not help her to prepare the meal. Logically we ask, would anyone expect a priestess to help prepare a meal? We would like to propose that there are two Marys in the story, Mary of Bethany, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, and Mary Magdalene, the Isis priestess who anointed Jesus.

THE JOURNEY

For Jesus to fulfill his destiny two things needed to occur. The first was John the Baptist needed to depart. The Baptist knew this truth as is shown in his recorded words, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30) Some would say that this meant John the Baptist arranged his death. Those who believe that all events are God’s will, would say that Herod Antipas’ decision to behead John was also God’s will, but that theory would deny freewill. So many times people look to the death of loved ones in a senseless act of violence as the fulfillment of some Divine plan. Because good things often occur through tragic events, many people have used this to support the argument that everything that happens is part of the Divine plan. We suggest that Divinity only inspires, since this action still facilitates free will. Nevertheless, we have discovered that God is the consummate opportunist. Whenever a dark cloud looms over us, He will inspire whomever, or use whatever He can to bring forth the silver lining. What is more, God had told us categorically, “Anything that creates fear, hatred and or division is never of Divine origin.”

The Old Testament records that two individuals did not experience mortal death, Enoch and Elijah. Remembering that Jesus said that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah, we ask, isn’t it possible that John could have translated his body, without experiencing physical death again? This would make the beheading of John the Baptist Herod Antipas’ responsibility and not any Divine Plan.

After the death of John the Baptist, Jesus took Peter, James and John to witness the transfiguration. It is during the transfiguration that Jesus revealed his true spiritual essence to his disciples. It is after this event that Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ. Moreover, Jesus was clearer on his mission and who was involved in such. For instance, as stated, he knew that John the Baptist had been the reincarnation of Elijah. He also knew how his mission was to be carried out. All the same, it was quite a lot for Jesus to deal with. How did a mortal man deal with the foreknowledge of his horrific death? We can attest to firsthand experience that God only tells you what you can handle. He never overloads you. He knows us very well and only reveals as much information as we can cope with. He simply told Jesus that he would live and to trust Him. (Of course Jesus’ trust was proved well placed after the resurrection.)

In the Gospel of John, the writer has Judas Iscariot complaining of the waste of the Spikenard, rather than the disciples. The name Judas has come to be the synonym for traitor. Nonetheless, many scholars point out that the gospel account seems to have Jesus instigating the “betrayal.” The gospels report that Jesus knew he was to die, and that after three days he would appear alive to the disciples. After Peter declared Jesus the Christ, almost immediately Jesus castigated him for denying the prophecy of his master’s death, even going so far as to call him Satan, which meant adversary.

A recent documentary on the “betrayal” and arrest of Jesus directs us to the fact that Jesus had the opportunity to escape from the Garden of Gethsemane. In fact as stated earlier he had escaped violence several times previously by “hiding” himself (John 8: 59). Jesus knew that in order to fulfill his mission, he had to be arrested. He even stopped Peter from defending him, telling the disciples if it weren’t meant to happen, he would have twelve legions (144,000) of angels to assist him. (Matthew 26:53) We would like to propose this scenario: What if Jesus approached Judas Iscariot to help him, telling him that in order for him to declare himself the messiah, he needed to be brought before the Jewish authorities? What if he told Judas that no one was to know, including the other disciples? This was because in order to fulfill prophecy, he needed to appear to be betrayed, as per (Psalms 41:9; 55:12-14.) Many times the foreknowledge of future events can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Jesus, as a trained Essene master would have been aware of the prophecy in Psalms. Could this have been why he approached Judas Iscariot? Judas was a zealot and saw the culmination of Jesus’ ministry as an earthly king. He had witnessed Jesus’ ability to elude his captors and probably thought Jesus was going to reveal who he was by supernatural means. What if, after Jesus was arrested, Judas followed him expecting Jesus to save himself? It must have been devastating for Judas to realize that Jesus was going to be crucified.

For anyone to identify himself or herself as the messiah without proof was considered blasphemy. However, the gospels say that Jesus had proven that he was the messiah several times. Anyone who had traveled with Jesus and witnessed the miracles could have reasonably expected their master to reveal his power. After Jesus was scourged, and it became clear what was going to happen, could Judas have asked, “Why didn’t he show the Sanhedrin his powers? Why didn’t he prove that he was the messiah?”

Something that has puzzled us is why the Jewish authorities didn’t recognize Jesus as the messiah and wanted him dead. The New Testament records “miracle” after “miracle”, but were they? Other writings state there were many healers in the Holy Lands during the first century of the Common Era. For instance, Apollonius of Tyana, a contemporary of St Paul was known as a healer.

Today, the healing of someone, without medical assistance is seen as a miracle. Yet as we learn that the body is so much more than mere physical flesh and blood, people are achieving remarkable results with holistic medicine. Reiki is a technique often used to assist in healing. The Reiki practitioner stands over the person, holding their hands over the relevant body part, passing energy, which they bring through their hands. Both the practitioner and the patient are involved. Isn’t this like Jesus saying to the person he heals, “Your faith has made you whole,” and so we ask if healing wasn’t proof of messiahship, then why did the Jewish authorities fear Jesus so much? The answer is in Jesus’ forgiving sins. The people of Israel and Judea at that time did not have compassion for those members of society that were less fortunate. The poor, the sick and the infirm were seen as deserving of their afflictions because of past “sins.” Like the fear of “eternal damnation” today, people of Biblical times believed in the law of karma in that you reaped what you sowed. That is why the disciples asked Jesus “who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (John 9:2) when they encountered a man who was born blind. By Jesus forgiving “sins” he was demonstrating compassion and clearly abolishing the Jewish Law of an eye for an eye and replacing it with mercy and forgiveness. That is why Jesus said your sins are forgiven, whenever he healed someone.

Despite the disparaging comments the gospel writers make against Judas Iscariot, the fact that he had “the bag” (purse) speaks volumes to us. You don’t give control of your funds to someone you don’t trust. Tradition says that after Jesus was crucified, Judas hung himself. As the disciples were unaware of the conspiracy, they saw Judas as betraying their master and would have nothing to do with him. Their condemnation after the crucifixion, as much as anything, probably added to the misconception. Is it possible that after the disciples shunned him, Judas left the area and traveled to Damascus?

Regardless of the story of Judas Iscariot’s suicide, by the gospels, the book of Acts may offer another result and also show the workings of Divine intervention. In chapter 9 and starting with verse 11, after Saul (St Paul) lost his sight outside Damascus, a disciple named Ananias received a vision of Jesus. In the vision Jesus instructed Ananias, “Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus.” We would ask, what better way for the compassionate Christ to use this opportunity to teach that even enemies are redeemable? Many times Jesus had said to love your enemies. This scenario had Jesus sending his blinded messenger Saul to the house of Judas, a suspected traitor zealot and then sending the frightened disciple Ananias to the same house, to heal Saul the Pharisee and possibly bring Judas back into the fold. If the reaction of Ananias to instruction by Jesus is anything to go by, Saul’s reputation for ruthlessly and relentlessly persecuting the followers of Jesus Christ was very widespread. (Acts 9:13-14) By gathering these chosen vessels of Christ at the house of Judas, Jesus was teaching a very valuable lesson of forgiveness to all. God told us that the reincarnation of Judas has returned in order to correct a terrible wrong. Could the wrong be history’s condemnation of Judas Iscariot?

THE TRIAL

And so we come to the main event, namely the crucifixion. To state that this was horrific is an understatement in the extreme. Debates have flourished for nearly two thousand years over this day. Many speculate about whether or not Jesus actually died on the cross. They point out the relatively short time he hung on the cross – the third hour till the ninth hour, or 9 am till 3 pm. Typically it took days for a person to die from crucifixion. As we stated in The True Philosophers’ Stone, we had puzzled as to why Suzzan experienced the pain in her right side while on the battlements of the castle in Kyrenia, Cyprus, spoken of in our first book My Lost Love. After all, the gospels say that Jesus was already dead when the spear was plunged into his right side. The question was answered when we learned of the legend that Longinus, the centurion who pierced Jesus “in the right side” with a spear, was a secret follower of Jesus. The tradition has Longinus mercifully killing Jesus to save him from a prolonged and agonizing death. This made sense, as medical experts remind us that a corpse does not bleed.

The appendix on The Relevance Of The Doctrines Of Rounds And Root-Races Today, stated that an innocent soul was required to release humanity from the Wheel of Necessity or the Law of Karma. Did Jesus end the Law of Karma? Jesus himself said that he came to fulfill the law not destroy it. (Matthew 5:17) We believe that Jesus ended the retaliatory component of karma. No longer would individuals who kill have to be killed seven incarnations later. Now karma could fulfill what the Creator/Demiurge intended it to do, help the individual learn from his or her mistakes. The church today completely denies reincarnation, and yet it is obvious that Jesus believed in the rebirth of the soul. Forget the obvious references to John the Baptist as being the reincarnation of the prophet Elijah, (Matthew 17: 11-13) and the question of whether the parents of the man born blind had sinned (John 9: 1-2). Examine what Jesus is saying about Abraham and his references to reincarnation in John 8:56-58. The passage about Jesus’ existing before Abraham, in the Gospel of John has done more to support the supposition that God incarnated as Christ Jesus than any other scripture. Even so, we would like to offer another interpretation. It is important to keep in mind that Jesus was dual in nature, with the Christ and Holy Spirit inhabiting his body. Several times in the synoptic gospels Jesus tells us that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a God of the living. This was said for the benefit of the Sadducees, who did not believe in any form of afterlife. By saying that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were alive he was stating that these patriarchs had reincarnated. With this point of view let’s reexamine the scripture in John. In verse 56, Jesus says “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.” Yet in verse 58, he says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” Verse 56 says to us that the reincarnated soul of Abraham knew Jesus. Could he or she (remember that the Spirit is genderless) be one of his followers? When he says in verse 58, that he was before Abraham, we would like to offer that this is the Christ/Holy Spirit speaking through Jesus. Obviously both the Christ and the Holy Spirit existed before the universe began. This is why it is important to always remember the duality within Jesus.

Biblical scholars say that the sky’s darkening during the crucifixion from the “sixth hour” (noon) till the “ninth hour” (3 pm) signified God’s raining down His entire wrath on His son. During this time God abandoned His son. It was at some point in this time that Jesus cried “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” Despite the absolute certainty that No Divine Power is capable of wrath, the scholars are partly correct. The darkness did symbolize the withdrawal of the Light; but it had nothing to do with wrath, it denoted the Christ and the Holy Spirit leaving Jesus the man to face his death alone; hence the anguished cry. All the same, we believe that the merciful Demiurge/Creator moved Longinus to end Jesus’ pain quickly.

Because the crucifixion did not follow normal procedure, (typically the dead bodies were eaten by scavenging animals that feed on carrion) many questioned if Jesus actually died. Of course after the resurrection these rumors became harder to quell. In fact if Paul’s letters are anything to go by it was a constant problem. In (Ephesians 4: 9) Paul wrote of Jesus’ descent into the “lower parts of the earth.” This passage has generally been taken by theologians to refer to Jesus’ descent into hell.

Unfortunately, stating that Jesus descended to hell brought in the doctrine of eternal damnation. So what really happened? Where did Jesus’ body go? When Paul wrote of Jesus’ descent, the concept of hell did not exist in Judaism. Nonetheless, the Greeks did have a concept of heaven and hell. The former they called the Elysian Fields and the latter was referred to as Hades. The Greeks thought everyone automatically went to Hades at death. Some remained in Hades to suffer torment, while those who had lived good lives went to the Elysian Fields to be rewarded. The Church taught that Jesus descended to release the trapped good souls. However, if these “good” souls were already in the Elysian Fields (paradise), why would they need rescuing? If Jesus didn’t descend to rescue the “good” souls, then where did Jesus go? The answer is, into this plane, or time, the future. Remember linear time is only relative to the physical plane, in the spiritual realms there is no past, present or future. As was recounted in The True Philosophers’ Stone, the void is also known as “no time.” After the crucifixion, Jesus’ soul went to the void or no time and was able to connect to the future on this plane of existence.

Accepting that Jesus’ soul went into the void, did his physical body just disappear or become invisible? To be honest we had asked God the same question. He had directed us to The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield. This book is an inspired fictional story about a secret manuscript that reveals nine insights of how to develop powers that are natural to the human being. The ninth insight is about developing the ability to raise or speed up an individual’s vibration to the extent that they become invisible to those of a lower or slower vibration. Sound familiar? Jesus demonstrated this ability to some extent when he escaped his enemies by becoming invisible. Obviously though, the resurrection was different. God told us some time ago that the soul of Jesus had amalgamated with the Christ and became one Spirit. We understand that sometime after Jesus’ death, the Christ and the Holy Spirit re-entered his body, raising its vibration to the degree that he became pure light. His physical atoms were transmuted so that he could appear anywhere and in any guise. The phenomenon of humanity’s becoming lighter is a similar process, but the reverse of the fall of certain angels. Today scientific investigation has shown that human beings, despite being 70% water are essentially vibrating energy.

We discovered that the food we ingest affects the level in which we vibrate. The lowest vibration is produced from the flesh of animals, whereas the highest vibration is from fruit. Could this be why so many people are feeling that it is no longer appropriate to eat the flesh of animals? Could this be why Gautama Buddha would eat no meat? Is this how through evolution we become lighter beings? A clear indication that we are energy comes from remembering that a person is considered brain dead when there is no “electrical” activity within the brain. Irrespective of the fact a heart/lung machine is keeping the patient breathing and their heart pumping, they are still considered dead.

Recently we were surprised to learn that some investigators believe that there are religious writings that report of two separate angelic rebellions. Angels have been depicted in various forms throughout history, from cutesy cherubs to awe-inspiring, huge beings of light, but always in human form. We discovered these beings had once been corporeal or human beings, and through enlightenment raised their vibration to become light beings. If we return to the beginning of the universe, we can recall that Sophia and the Christ transformed Sophia’s emotions into the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. What is more, Sophia and the Christ caused the creation of the Creator/Demiurge or the God of the Old Testament. It was the Creator/Demiurge that instigated the angelic realm. They were made of the same elements as human beings, only in a more refined, therefore lighter manner. They are also of the Soul Plane and consequently, endowed with souls.

The angelic realm has enthralled us for millennia. Its various divisions have generated numerous writings. Obviously, for so many people to believe in angels there must be some substance to the belief. Consequently, we feel that a brief description of the angelic realm is called for. The Old Testament is full of angels interacting with humanity, Jacob’s Ladder (Genesis 28:12) and the two angels sent to warn Lot (Genesis 19:1) are just two examples. As we mentioned, angels have been depicted from cutesy cherubs to awe-inspiring light beings. Why such a huge disparity? The reason is because not all angels are equal. We stated that the Demiurge/Creator created the angelic realm; however, he didn’t create all levels of angels. Before the creation or if you prefer the evolution of humanity, the lower layers of the angelic realm did not exist. When the Demiurge/Creator was forming the Soul Plane, he brought forth creative (archons) and administrative (astrological) powers. These were identified with the suffix “im”, such as Elohim, Seraphim and Cherubim. The archangels were formed from early humanity, before the “fall.” As humanity evolved, Christ-like teachers taught them how to raise their vibration. This is how humans became angels. The angels were needed to interact with humanity on a physical level. Because they were made from the same elements, when the Demiurge wanted a message given to a person, he could send a messenger (angel) to the person, all the angel had to do was temporarily lower or slow down his or her vibration to the same as the person to be seen and heard. (Note: the angelic realm is androgynous, however, when an angel interacts with a human being the angel will appear as either male or female.)

Another astonishing piece of information we found is that all spiritual beings, along with the human race, have free will, and because they are beneath the Veil, they are of a dual nature. There is a Jewish legend to the effect that the angels were jealous when Yahweh (the Creator/Demiurge or the God of the Old Testament) asked Adam to name the animals. We can remember commenting on the fact that “angels” could be capable of jealousy. Nonetheless, if the Bible is to be believed, the angels are capable of more than one “human” emotion. The Scriptures state that some beings of the angelic realm exhibited the emotions of pride and lust.

Considering the amount of time, in evolutionary terms, that the angelic realm had existed, we wondered what caused the sudden rebellion. The answer really amazed us. It has to do with the axiom, “As above so below, and as below so above.” Every ensouled being is linked through the Soul Plane. When the Human Race, with its Divine sparks was altered by an alien race, the entire consciousness of the Soul Plane was affected. Just as the consciousness of every human being is affected by the mass consciousness, every entity beneath the Veil is also affected. Consequently, when humanity became infused with the shadow side of the universe, because of the axiom, “As above so below, as below so above,” the Soul Plane also became afflicted. Because every being beneath the Veil has free will, the angels also have to choose urges to which to adhere, self or selflessness. Obviously some of the beings chose self. That was what has been recorded as the angelic rebellion.

Not believing that a Divine being is capable of a punishment like hell, we wondered what happened to the angels that rebelled. Again, only recently, we discovered that there are several writings, which state the rebellious angels, were given corporeal bodies. Remember we said earlier that God told us to think of spiritual forces in terms of energy. This is what we understand occurred. Just as the Christ, with the Holy Spirit, raised or speeded up the cells of Jesus’ body, the “fallen angels” affected the opposite by lowering or slowing down their vibrations.

To understand the fate of the “fallen angels” we have to remember that although they are of a finer substance, the angels consist of the same substance as human beings. Also, it is important to remember that everything beneath the Veil is essentially vibrating energy or operating at specific frequency ranges.

Most religious minded individuals think of Heaven as being above us and they would be partly right. The astral plane, of which heaven is a part, vibrates at just a little higher rate than the Earth plane. Nonetheless, this should be seen as within rather than without. The astral plane is divided into three subjective levels, which the ancient esoteric teachers named Kama Loka, Avitchi and Devachan. These three levels, for ease of explanation, are often depicted one above another within this plane. All three levels are collectively called the astral plane. The Church taught that there was heaven, purgatory and hell. Devachan represented the highest level and would equate to the Greek concept of Elysian Fields or the Church’s Heaven. The reverse of Devachan is Avitchi, which would equate to the Greek concept of Hades or the Church’s Hell. Kama Loka could be conceived as equal to the concept of Purgatory. When a spiritual entity through free-will choice begins to slow down or lower their vibration, they sink lower in the astral plane. Eventually they slow their vibration to such an extent that they can no longer remain in the subjective astral plane and have to take on corporeal bodies in the objective Earth plane. However, it should be stated that as the levels within the astral plane are subjective, the experience in the astral plane is determined by an individual’s mental conception. The various levels should not be seen as locations for Divine reward or punishment. Your judgment of your life determines whether you reward or punish yourself.

Belief in places of punishment does more to keep people from God than anything else. So many individuals examine his or her past actions and judge them as unforgivable. Consequently they feel that, as they are already “damned,” they may as well enjoy the remainder of their time on Earth. We would remind these individuals of Jesus’ words “Judge not.” This injunction is not only to not judge others but also yourself. It does not matter how bad you think your past actions are, you can still help change the world. All of us without exception have regrets over things we’ve done and said in the past. It is important that you wake up and realize that you are a spirit inhabiting a body and that because this illusion is very seductive; many of us have fallen short of the mark (sinned).

Religion is only the start of the path to spirituality. All of the world’s major religions support justice. Where religion and spirituality differ is how we deal with injustice. Even the most radical fundamentalist is opposed to injustice. Like children throwing tantrums by destroying things, they are screaming to be heard. They are looking to their deity (parents) to cure all their ills. Enlightened people must show them that they are heard. Instead of sending soldiers to a country to restore peace, we need to send thousands of unarmed brothers and sisters to work alongside the inhabitants in assisting them to rebuild. Perhaps we could alleviate the problem of overcrowding in the prisons by offering selected individuals the chance to become part of the solution, instead of part of the problem. The only way to silence the rhetoric of the hate mongers is to prove them wrong. What may surprise some people is that the atheistic communists are also struggling on the path to spirituality. Yes, they reject religion, seeing it as the cause of injustice, but they believe in the sovereignty of all people. (Isn’t this the same as seeing the Divine spark in every soul?) They see organized religion as hypocritical. If we look at religious history, we can hardly blame them; consider The Crusades and The Inquisition, to name but two examples. Unfortunately, the ideal of equality has been usurped by some individuals seeking power and as the saying goes “power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Nevertheless, what most individuals have in common is a sincere wish for equality. Affluent countries need to show the rest of the world, we are aware of their plight and we want to help.

God has told us many times that the key to the mysteries, spoken of by Jesus, Paul and many others, is in the English language, for instance, the words “attention” and “at ease” given to members of the military forces carry a wealth of hidden teaching. When an officer directs his squad to attention, he is requiring them to be alert and observant, they are about to receive vital information. However, often when the senior officer arrives he begins by telling the soldiers “at ease,” meaning relax. Frequently, when a person dies we say that they are at peace, meaning they are no longer suffering. With the instructions “at ease,” despite the modern interpretation of telling the soldiers to relax, originally the military commander was trying to alleviate any fear the soldiers may be feeling. This is the key to discovering the hidden message. If we replace the word ease with peace it takes on a whole new relevance. If a person is at peace/ease, he or she is no longer dis-eased. The scripture in 1 Corinthians that asks, “O death, where is thy sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55) is giving us a vital clue. All dis-ease can be alleviated with the eradication of fear. Chinese medicine teaches that all diseases hold a vibration. To become healthy the Chinese believe that we must raise our vibration to vibrate above the dis-ease and leave the dis-ease behind. This applies to all forms of disease including what Western medicine terms as incurable or terminal. When we are at peace, we are no longer in the grip of fear; therefore we are no longer dis-eased. This is what Jesus meant by “the peace that passeth all understanding.”

As co-creators, humanity has been peopling the astral plane with the consciousness of depravity. Understand all thoughts are pure energy and therefore move from the earth plane to the higher frequency astral plane. Every angry, vengeful, envious or murderous thought is released into the ether and affects not only the world’s consciousness, but also the entire Soul Plane. What is worse, if any of these thoughts are voiced they then become endowed with even more force. This is the direct consequence of the power of speech.

The designation, “enlightened,” has traditionally meant those endued or endowed with Divine knowledge. Still, God told us there is another meaning. As previously stated God told us the key to the mysteries is hidden in the English language. A prime example of this is the word, “light.” It has two distinct meanings; one to illuminate and the other meaning is the opposite of heavy. Most often, “enlightened” is taken to mean the taking on of secret, Divine knowledge, but we think it is more appropriate to consider the meaning as becoming lighter or less heavy. If every thing beneath the Veil is essentially vibrating energy, including spiritual entities, then lightness equates to faster or higher vibration. When the “fallen angels” indulged in the lower emotions, they lowered or slowed their vibration, becoming heavier until they became of matter, with corporeal bodies. The same applies to human beings. Whenever a person is filled with love and compassion (in other words, experiencing “the peace that passeth all understanding”), their vibration is raised, which is often experienced as a feeling of light-headedness and described as being “in ecstasy.” On the other hand, anger, hatred or fear slows or lowers the vibration, which will result in becoming heavier. It is important to reiterate that an angel taking on corporeal form is not the result of Divine punishment meted out by the Creator/Demiurge. Instead, it is simply the consequence of the angel’s conscious choice. Could this be one of the meanings to what Jesus intended when he said that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit could not be forgiven? Once a spiritual being rejects the Divine realm, is there no way to return to that plane? Could this explain how some people seem to have no conscience? Do they have no way to redeem themselves? Referring to the appendix on The Relevance Of The Doctrines Of Rounds And Root-Races Today, we are reminded that the outer darkness that Jesus referred to (Matthew 22:13) is the dissolution of the outer layers (We must again repeat that this is not outer space but inner space.) Nevertheless, nothing is ever consigned to what the Church calls “eternal damnation.” Those souls that “choose” to deny their true spirits will be trapped in the outer darkness until the universe resets itself. Then they will be given new bodies. Still, everything that made them individuals (all their experience and accumulated knowledge) will be lost and they will have to begin again from scratch.

If the fallen angels took on human form then how do we explain St Paul’s’ injunction that we fight not against flesh and blood in (Ephesians 6:12) “but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Could the spiritual wickedness in high places be relating to the powers of the universe testing humanity? Although the adversary has come to be translated into one all-powerful evil, the Devil or Satan, as we have said the name originally meant “adversary” or that which is placed in the way. Interestingly, in astrology, the planet Saturn plays that very role, coincidence? Moreover, is it a coincidence that the Jewish Sabbath is Saturday – Saturn’s Day?

God told us several years ago that the members of the Body of Christ have incarnated at this time to demonstrate the power of Love. (We should again stress that the Body of Christ is not restricted to only Christians. Members come from any and all religions and faiths.) We are to demonstrate Love not only to human beings but also to all spiritual powers beneath the Veil, including angels and astrological forces. The only tool the Body of Christ has is altruistic or selfless love (agape); the adversaries or opposition have everything else.

THE GATHERING

Jesus’ statement that “No one goes to the Father, but by me” was informing the human race that only by adopting his words and believing that the kingdom of God is within each individual would it be possible to change the world into a paradise. It is also important to remember that the Solar System was chosen through evolution to transmute the elements that contain the Divine sparks back to spirit. As all Christs have taught, this is achieved by becoming selfless.

For almost two thousand years the human race has been fighting the battle against evil, which incidentally is “live” spelled backwards. What this says to us is that anything that is opposed to life can be designated as evil. That would mean that anything that diminishes the life span could be considered as evil. Consequently, not respecting the body as the temporary temple of the Divine self could be considered evil.

Earlier, we mentioned that the allegory of Adam’s becoming a “living soul” might be referring to the insertion of the spiritual soul. This could be considered as the birth of the conscience or higher self, which although was originally meant to assist humanity in redeeming the Divine sparks, it has also turned out to be the greatest “weapon” in combating the negative side of the universe. The foe or adversary is the lower ego. The real battle is to resist those subtle and sometimes not so subtle urges from the lower ego or counterfeit spirit to be selfish, thinking of yourself and not others.

In the previously mentioned appendix we state that between 2004 and 2005, the start of a five-year window will begin. What that means is during this time, the human race will fight the metaphorical battle of Armageddon within their mind, using their heart for spiritual discernment. Because this is the Fullness of Time, the astral plane is dissipating and the three levels are condensing into one. Because of this, all spiritual forces within the astral plane that have assisted humanity, such as angels and guardian spirits, have been asked to release all contact with their charges in order to let us do the work ourselves.

Unfortunately humanity does not escape all outside influence. Every thought and emotion is energy and is released into the ethereal or astral plane. Every spiritual entity in the astral plane that does not have humanity’s best interests at heart has lost individuality. Now, all lower spiritual forms have merged into one all-consuming power, which we will call the World Soul, although Animal Soul would be more appropriate. The Emerald Tables of Thoth the Atlantean, translated by Doreal, relate that there are mythical beasts, which are called the “Hounds of the Barrier,” that guard the exit out of this cycle. According to the tablets only those of the brightest light are able to pass by the hounds. We believe that this is an analogy of the World/Animal Soul. If we remember that in both cases the barrier used is of an animal nature, we can begin to see the role these figures play. Animals are territorial and will defend their territory with their lives. Human beings reflect this behavior by dividing the Earth into different countries, which they feel obligated through patriotic fervor to defend.

It is interesting that although the goal of evolution is to drive the Life Principle to individualization and self-awareness, the objective of involution, or the redemption of the Divine sparks is the reverse. Consequently, only those individuals who no longer see themselves as separate from every other soul will pass by the guard through the door. In other words, it is necessary to view ourselves as above all differences, citizens of the planet Earth.

Both the World/Animal Soul and the Hounds of the Barrier are of the same vibration as the aggressive masculine energy that is connected to the human race through its ego and lower passions. Despite the designation masculine, this energy is not exclusive to men. Women who demonstrate anger, jealousy and ambition or any of the passions connected to the lower ego are exhibiting the same “masculine” energy. Because the World/Animal Soul and Hounds are of the same vibration, they can recognize those individuals that have not transmuted the masculine energy. In addition, this vibrational energy relates to the third or solar plexus chakra.

As we previously stated, every human being has an Achilles heel or weakness. That weakness is of the same vibration as the World/Animal Soul. The World/Animal Soul could be considered as an envelope of selfishness. It grows stronger by people giving into their lower ego or counterfeit spirit, in other words, anything that is not for the greater good. We have continuously said everything beneath the Veil is vibrating energy. The frequency at which the World/Animal Soul/Hounds vibrate is connected to this round or cycle, so only those individuals that have raised their vibration can pass the guards to the door to the next cycle. When a person identifies their weakness and initiates direct two-way communication with God, whatever the Divine is to you, they change their vibration. Moreover, by connecting through the heart they diffuse or dissipate the World/Animal Soul. Basically, anyone who operates from a place of compassion or selflessness becomes disconnected from it. Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ greatly assisted in the process. Literally millions of people were moved to tears of compassion for Jesus’ suffering, and this is the reason we can change the world. By experiencing compassion, we touch the more painful emotions inside. Then we transmute those feelings by the act of helping and caring for others.

REUNION

This is the Fullness of Time and we have come full circle. Did anyone see the significance of the Olympic Games returning to its birthplace? While watching the Olympic Games, we were struck by the number of men who openly showed emotion. Obviously, this is a sign that it is no longer considered “sissy” to show emotion in public. What a relief.

The film Pay it Forward with Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt has a message for what humanity needs to do at this time. Instead of repaying a kindness, which stops there, the story directs us to help another three people, who in turn help another nine people. This signifies progression, which is the goal of spiritual evolution.

It is time for us to follow Jesus’ example. His resurrection showed us the way. When Jesus told Mary Magdalene not to touch him, he was only just starting the process of transformation. This information showed us that after the resurrection he was energy, but also that this energy was unstable at first. Nonetheless, eight days later the energy had stabilized so that he could tell Thomas to place his fingers in the nail-prints and his hand into his side (John 20: 27). This appears to signify that after eight days it was okay for Jesus to interact with others.

Although Jesus appeared to the disciples in the form they knew in the “Upper Room,” he often appeared in a guise that they didn’t know. For instance, Mary Magdalene didn’t recognize him at first, (John 20:15); two of his disciples walked with him on the road to Emmaus without recognizing their master, (Luke 24:15-16) Finally, Jesus appeared on the shore and is only known by his words, (John 21:1-12). What did this mean? It seems to us that Jesus did not have the same physical appearance. By this, Jesus was demonstrating that the soul and spirit are not the physical body.

According to the book of Acts, Jesus remained teaching the disciples for forty days, (Acts 1:3) yet the New Testament only records a handful of sentences of this time. Still there were writings that recorded the teachings of Jesus after the resurrection. These writings were eventually called heretical and destroyed. Then again the Truth will out, and as we said in 1945 several of these “heretical” writings were discovered in Nag Hammadi, Upper Egypt. Many of the writings depict Mary Magdalene as taking a leadership role. In fact we learned that she was known by the early Church fathers as the Apostle to the Apostles. An obscure writing called the Pistis Sophia, which means Faith-Wisdom, known as a Gnostic miscellany, contradicts the general opinion of Mary Magdalene. The book contains a discourse between Jesus and his disciples after the resurrection, including Mary Magdalene and other women. The discourse centers on Jesus asking the disciples questions on the repentance and redemption of Sophia. After Mary Magdalene answered Jesus he addressed her in a strange way. “Mary, thou blessed one, whom I will perfect in all mysteries of those of the height, discourse in openness, thou, whose heart is raised to the kingdom of heaven more than thy brethren.” Jesus also refers to Mary Magdalene as “inheritress of the light.”

Before continuing, a salient point needs clarifying. Previously, we stated that there was no past, present or future in the Divine realms. Sophia was instantly restored to her place within the Pleroma after her folly. As we said earlier, life began when Sophia separated from her partner What-has-been-willed. Beneath the Veil everything exists in linear time. The period that passed while Sophia experienced fear, grief, ignorance and confusion encompassed the entire existence on the material and soul planes. In other words while in the Pleroma, the episode was a mere blink of the eye so to speak, beneath the Veil, the entire existence of the universe had elapsed. It is almost impossible for a person, whose life span extends to, at the most a little over a century, to conceive of the vast eons of time involved here. The genus Homo, of which Homo Sapien Sapiens is the end result, has only existed for five million years. To put this in perspective: in esoteric terms or manvantaric, (the Hindu term for a cycle of time) a “life of Brahmâ” or the life of the universe consists of four billion, three hundred and twenty million, (4,320,000,000) multiplied by seventy-two thousand, (72,000) years.

Previously we stated that the Divine powers could not help until the Life Principle developed intellect and self-awareness, and the Creator/Demiurge had adopted mercy or compassion. It was then that the Christ and Sophia could begin to wake up the dormant sparks. They did this by teaching humanity of their spiritual origins through the Wisdom Religion, the esoteric base beneath all the world’s main religions. Despite the confusion with Jesus’ teachings, he was the culmination of this process. The Gnostics reported that Jesus taught his disciples of the fall of Sophia. If we remember the legend of Sophia incarnating in Mary Magdalene, we can see why he would use the epithet “inheritress of the light” with respect to her, related in Pistis Sophia. Jesus the Christ teaching Mary Magdalene was symbolic of Sophia’s redemption. This is another instance of the axiom “As above, so below, as below, so above,” which is demonstrated through Mary Magdalene’s being the earthly counterpart to Sophia.

The famous axiom “As above, so below, as below, so above,” was thought to mean that everything that happens on the material plane occurs on the spiritual plane and vice versa. Nevertheless, there is another way to think of it, and that is balance. Earlier we mentioned that the Gnostic emanations should be considered as partners of opposites working in unison together. The problem of Sophia’s separating from her partner, What-has-been-willed, caused the creation of the material universe. The pairs in the Gnostic Pleroma set up a situation much like dissimilar voltage potentials cause current to flow in an electrical device. So the axiom, As above, so below, as below, so above, could be seen as the pattern for the flow of all energy, including matter in search of balance or peaceful equilibrium.

Because of writings such as the Pistis Sophia, many have speculated on the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, with some deducing that they were married. True, the Jewish custom was for a man to marry by the age of twenty, nonetheless if Jesus entered the ascetic Essene sect before the expected age, then he would not have been expected to wed by the accepted time. Could the connection between Sophia and the Christ have led to the supposition that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married? If Sophia was incarnated in Mary Magdalene and the Christ was in Jesus, could this be why some of the legends of their being married have persisted?

Most advocates for Jesus and Mary Magdalene being married point to a telling statement in the Gnostic Gospel of Philip, which is reproduced in The Nag Hammadi Library. Concerning Mary Magdalene and Jesus’ relationship. It reads; “But Christ loved her (Mary Magdalene) more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often on the -----.” There is a hole in the manuscript and so where he used to kiss her is left to speculation. Most people think that the missing word is “mouth.” Nonetheless, if we read on, the manuscript has an amazing statement. “The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, ‘Why do you love her more than all of us?’ The Saviour answered and said to them, ‘Why do I not love you like (I love) her’?”

Obviously, a man would love his wife or even girlfriend more than his male companions, so to suggest that the disciples “were offended” when Jesus kissed his wife, did not seem logical to us. However, The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene) may shed some light on the reason for the disciples’ animosity towards her. “Peter said to Mary, ‘Sister, we know that the saviour loved you more than the rest of women. Tell us the words of the saviour which you remember – which you know (but) we do not, nor have we heard them.’ Mary answered and said, ‘What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you’.” After Maryhas described a vision in which the risen Christ had appeared to her and taught her of secret mysteries, Andrew and Peterimmediately challenge her veracity.The text continues; “When Mary had said this, she fell silent...But Andrew answered and said to the brethren, ‘Say what you (wish to) say about what she has said.I at least do not believe that the Savior said this.For certainly these teachings are strange ideas.’ Peter answered...‘Did he really speak with a woman without our knowledge (and) not openly?Are we to turn about and listen to her?Did he prefer her to us’?”

Obviously this is very distressing to Mary and shereplies, “My brother Peter, what do you think that I thought this up myself in my heart or that I am lying about the Savior?Levi answered and said to Peter, ‘Peter, you have always been hot-tempered.Now see you contending against the woman like the adversaries.  But if the Savior made her worthy, who are you indeed to reject her?Surely the Savior knows her very well.That is why he loved her more than us’.”

To understand why the disciples were “offended” we need to understand the Middle-Eastern culture. In the West, heterosexual males do not kiss each other in private let alone in public. However, in the Middle East men regularly greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. Remember, Judas kissed Jesus on the cheek to identify him to his enemies. (Matthew 26:48-49) In the Middle East, to kiss someone on the mouth in public is a sign of extreme respect. Therefore, if Jesus kissed Mary Magdalene on the mouth in front of the other disciples, he would have been demonstrating the highest honor and acknowledgment of her as his pupil. Accordingly, some of the disciples were jealous of her.

Another reason the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene has been thought to be carnal, is because the mystery schools practiced a mystical sexual union called (Hieros Gamos) between the high priest and priestess, which represented symbolically, the union between the masculine and feminine deities. They engaged in this sexual union, because they believed that it was the way to connect to the Divine. We would like to present another hypothesis.

In this scenario we accept that both Jesus and Mary Magdalene were initiated into the Isis mystery religion. This means it is possible, if not likely that Jesus was aware of the practice of sex magic. Could the reference to his exorcizing seven devils from her be referring to this? The purpose of the ritual between an initiated priest and priestess was to raise the Kundalini, which was viewed as a coiled serpent of energy at the base of the spine, from the first or base chakra through all “seven” chakras to the seventh or crown chakra at the top of the head. However, if this ritual was attempted and one or both of the participants was not purified, then instead of raising the wise serpent, the dragon of passion would be raised to dominate the body. We propose that whether or not Mary Magdalene knew Jesus, when she learned of his ministry she hurried to his side believing that, as Isis initiates they needed to perform the ritual. But when she reached Jesus, he taught her that the goal of the enlightened was to connect to God through the heart, not the physical passions. Although Mary Magdalene went to Jesus to anoint him, like Jesus she was unaware of the deeper spiritual implications and was merely following a blind directive. Like Jesus and John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene was as equally unaware of the spirit she carried or her divine destiny. And so using the axiom of As above, so below, as below so above, Jesus’ teaching Mary Magdalene was the beginning of the redemption of Sophia.

Previously, we mentioned that early humanity tried to emulate the Divine world by installing a king and queen or emperor and empress to rule their civilizations. Throughout the world myths and legends of gods and goddesses retained the knowledge of the Divine union of Sophia and the Christ. At a subconscious level the Human Race knows of the Divine union, however, they have seen that union only in physical terms. Witness the first generation to be born in the Fullness of Time (baby boomers) sexual revolution in the 60s? Then why did St Paul write that “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,” in 1 Corinthians 15:50? Considering that the risen Christ taught St Paul, this is quite a statement. By this St Paul stated categorically that the mystical sexual practice of Hieros Gamos or Sacred Marriage was not the way to connect to the Divine. So if the Sacred Marriage or Union wasn’t about physical union, what was it about?

The fact that Jesus spoke of the Sacred Marriage gave the advocates for Jesus’ being married, ammunition. Still if by the Sacred Marriage, Jesus meant the union of spirit and matter, or rather the spiritualization of matter, it changes or rather spiritualizes it. Could this be why the ancient symbol for this union is the interlaced triangles or the six-pointed star, the top triangle signifying the descent of Spirit into matter and the lower triangle signifying the ascent of matter to Spirit? Could Jesus be saying that the ancient rite of Hieros Gamos (Sacred Marriage) wasn’t about sexual freedom, but rather about Divine Love and the unification of the masculine and feminine within each of us?

Recently, God reminded us that there are three Greek words for love: eros, philo and agape. We learned that eros, from which the word “erotic” derives, represents the three lowest chakras, base, sacral and solar plexus and the five senses i.e. purely physical love. Philo, from which the word philosopher is derived, on the other hand symbolizes the three highest chakras, throat, third eye and crown and the two senses of sight and hearing. Interestingly, philo signifies mental love, which means a mental choice. Unlike eros, where all five physical senses are involved, philo love involves only two senses, sight and sound. Philo occurs with a calculated mental choice, and can also be seen as love for inanimate objects. So much for eros and philo, what about agape? Apparently, agape love is not generated with either physical sensation or mental calculation, but through compassion. It is symbolized by the heart chakra. The Gospel of John records Jesus as saying “greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” From this we understand, agape is completely selfless love. A person running into a burning building to rescue a stranger without thought for his or her own life could be described as demonstrating agape love. Nevertheless, it is through the unification of all three forms of love that the hieros gamos or the Sacred Union or Marriage occurs. It seems relevant that the symbol for the heart chakra, the chakra that lies between the three lowest and the three highest chakras, and representative of hieros gamos is a six-pointed star.

THE LESSON

As was stated, in Love the Common Denominator, the universe is divided into Fear and Love. Remembering that God is Love, this means that fear is the opposite or “opposition” to God. You cannot both fear and love God. Fear is the emotion behind every lower emotion. The doctrine of the seven deadly sins was invented to combat this. Fear is behind every one of the listed sins. For instance, the fear of not having enough can lead to someone greedily grabbing more than they need.

Everything that isn’t of love cannot rise to the higher or inner planes. Kama Loka is where everything is frequency-filtered. Like a sieve allows only the finest particles to pass through it, this location only allows the purest thoughts and emotions of the higher frequencies through to Devachan. Now, because this is the Fullness of Time, as the metaphor of the war in heaven proclaims, the Soul Plane is being restructured.Everything that isn’t of adequate frequency, so to speak, is being expelled to the lower frequency layer, the physical plane in order to be transmuted by the Sacred Union. Every entity or soul in this category has been duped or mislead into choosing physical immortality and or power over altruistic love and therefore missed the parameters of spiritual evolution.

It is through the Sacred Union that the World Soul is dissipated or dissolved. How can that be? We said that a more appropriate name was Animal Soul; that is because it represents the Kama Rupa or animal soul of the Human Race. As stated according to ancient teaching, the human being has three souls: animal, human and spiritual. The lowest, the animal soul is linked to the Kama Rupa or heart chakra before it is transformed. It is interesting that Jesus taught that we should be concerned of what came out of the heart, instead of worrying about what we ate. (Matthew 15:17-20) Until a person transforms their heart, from fear, anger and hatred to love, forgiveness and compassion, they feed the soul plane with lower vibrations. Now the lower animal appetites and emotions strengthen the adversary or World/Animal Soul, which resides in Kama Loka, hence Jesus’ warning.

We said that Kama Loka is the holding area used to determine who leaves this cycle and who stays. Like the physical universe, the astral plane operates on clearly defined laws. Nothing is ever lost. All less than loving thoughts and emotions, along with all entities that have been misleading humanity and all human souls that have no love or compassion within them, have been combined into the World/Animal Soul. This entity acts like a dividing force, tempting and trying to coerce humanity into maintaining the status quo. It is the Fullness of Time or end of the cycle, as we said the three levels of the astral plane Devachan, Kama Loka and Avitchi condense into one plane, or Kama Loka. It is within this plane that the World/Animal Soul resides and war, hatred, and aggression throughout the world, feeds and sustains it. Alternatively, when enough members of the Human Race transform their hearts and minds, through the Sacred Union, following the law of “As above, so below, as below, so above,” not only those souls and entities that were expelled to the physical plane, but everything within Kama Loka will also transform. At this time the World/Animal Soul will dissolve into the outer darkness. Any soul or entity that through choice will not transform literally melts with the World/Animal Soul into the outer darkness, waiting for the universe to reset and the new cycle to begin. Then like the potter’s clay, this lump or mass will be remolded into new bodies and their lessons will start again. All of the above is occurring now and will be completed in a relatively short period of time. We say relatively short, because this is where the five-year window we spoke of earlier comes in.

So what happened to the disciples? Mark 3: 16-18, lists them thus: Simon Peter, James and John Zebedee, the sons of thunder, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus and Simon the Canaanite. Of course Judas Iscariot was listed, but as we’ve already covered his fate we will not include him.

Curiously, only the fate of nine of the disciples was recorded, in The Golden Legend: Readings on the Saints, the most often used authority by the Church, Thaddeus and Simon the Canaanite were not mentioned. The Golden Legend says that at first Andrew was told to join Matthew in Ethiopia. Later Matthew went to Antioch and Andrew went to Achaia. There appears to be great confusion over the leader of the JerusalemChurch. Tradition holds Peter as leading the first church in Jerusalem with John and James the brother of Jesus. However, the New Testament appears to say that Jesus’ family did not support his ministry at first, (Mark 3:31.) The Golden Legend makes James the son of Alphaeus, the brother of Jesus. Josephus, a Jewish historian that wrote in the first century, reports of a James the Just becoming the head of the Jerusalem church, after Jesus departed the scene. He does not mention Peter or John. Acts relating that Peter traveled extensively with John seems to support this. As there were two disciples named James, one was assumed to have been the brother of Jesus. Nonetheless, as neither of the disciples were the son of Joseph, this is curious. Even if we accept that Jesus had only half brothers and sisters, his half siblings would have been the sons and daughters of Joseph.

The book of Acts reports that in Samaria, Peter and John dispute with Simon Magus, but the Gospel of John says that John was entrusted with the mother of Jesus. According to the Golden Legend, John is reputed to have journeyed to Asia to teach there. James the brother of John was supposed to have taught in Samaria before traveling to Spain to teach. Even so, Acts holds James, the brother of John as being martyred by Herod Agrippa. Thomas was rumored to have journeyed to India. Like Thomas, Bartholomew was also thought to have gone to India. Interestingly, because vestiges of Jesus’ teachings have been found in India, many formed the supposition that Jesus was there before his baptism. We ask, could the apostle Thomas and Bartholomew traveling to India be the reason why, Jesus’ teachings were found there? According to The Golden Legend Philip, who had been in Samaria, went to Gaza, later settling in Caesarea. As for Mary Magdalene, as we’ve already stated, the Church obscured her identity and discouraged the thought of her as a separate individual. The Golden Legend also labels her as Mary of Bethany and records her as traveling to Gaul/France. Irrespective of the Church’s misdirection, there are other legends that have Mary Magdalene traveling to Ephesus with the mother of Jesus. In conclusion, it seems that there is very little clarity as to exactly who many of the disciples were, let alone where they all ended up.

We think that The Golden Legend is probably the main source for Mary Magdalene’s connection to Southern France or ancient Gaul, as it was called in Roman times. Despite this, we need to remember that Mary Magdalene wasn’t called the Apostle to the Apostles for nothing. Regardless of the Church’s making her the repentant sinner, early Christian sects held that she was a teacher in her own right. An interesting comment in Pistis Sophia has Jesus commissioning Thomas, Matthew, Philip and Mary Magdalene to spread his teachings. Moreover, if the Pistis Sophia is anything to go by, Sophia went through extended “repentances” before being reaccepted into the Pleroma. Could this be why Mary Magdalene was portrayed in multiple art works as “repenting?” Remember the legend of Sophia being in Mary Magdalene.

The reference to Mary Magdalene going to France comes from the deliberate confusion over the identity of Mary of Bethany, Lazarus’ sister. As we said, the Gospel of John is the only gospel that says the sister of Martha and Lazarus anointed Jesus. A possible answer to the controversy came when we learned that Lazarus with his sisters Martha and Mary traveled to Gaul with Joseph of Arimathea.

We have read several books recently that speculate that Mary Magdalene was not only Jesus’ wife but that she was also pregnant with his child. According to several authors, that child’s descendents are the Merovian kings and queens of France.

In making Mary Magdalene pregnant with Jesus’ child we greatly diminish the purpose of his ministry. His fundamental message was to teach that everyone is able to connect with the Supreme Being. Because of this supposition, many people have become caught up with the physical man and his bloodline and in some circles whether or not Jesus was married has become of more importance than his message. Remember, “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.”

Unfortunately, the early Church reverted to their Jewish customs, such as circumcision (Galatians 3:2-11) and to put great store in bloodlines. Observe the genealogy recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, of which even the pseudo Pauline gospel of Timothy warns. (Timothy 1:4) Because of this custom, immediately after the resurrection, James the Just, the brother of Jesus, was declared the new leader of the Jerusalem church. Furthermore, according to Eusebius the Church historian, after James’ death, every male member of Jesus’ family was installed as the leader of the Jerusalem Church.

The “heretics” had Peter, Andrew and James taking early Christianity back to its Jewish roots. Mary Magdalene came to represent the Gnostic or non-Jewish side of Christianity. This is interesting, as St Paul’s writings also seem to be moving Christianity away from Judaism and towards Gnosticism. So why did Jesus Christ call Saul/Paul to God’s service?

As we said Acts records Jesus as ascending after teaching his disciples for forty days, immediately after the Holy Ghost or Spirit is poured out. In Acts it appears that the Spirit only fills the twelve disciples assembled in the “Upper Room,” and later refers to them as Apostles. They then impart the Holy Spirit/Ghost to others by the laying on of hands. However, St Paul seems to say that all believers receive the Holy Ghost/Spirit.

The Gospel of John reports that Jesus promised the disciples that he would ask the Father to send “another comforter.” The Greek word for Comforter is Paraklētos, which literally means, “One called alongside to help.” The Church has interpreted this passage as the coming of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost, and they are partly right. Because the Divine sparks are hidden within humanity and the Supreme Being emanated the Holy Spirit, the Comforter is the Holy Spirit that resides in each individual’s heart. This is the connection that links us to God and helps each human being make the best decision. It is fully activated by an act of selflessness or compassion. Still, if we read Jesus’ description of the Comforter, it is obvious to us that he was referring to an actual person: “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14:26)

After St Paul’s’ conversion Acts says that the disciples of Jerusalem were afraid of him and it wasn’t until Barnabas took him to the Apostles and reported Paul’s preaching that he was accepted. (Acts 9: 26-27) If we recall, Jesus appeared to his disciples in such a way that they did not recognize him. Saul/St Paul arriving in Jerusalem repeating Jesus’ words must have given them pause for thought. Could the disciples have wondered if Saul was Jesus returned?

The description of “the third member of the Trinity” has caused a great deal of confusion. We have spent many hours attempting to ascertain the difference between the Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost. The answer, when it came was so simple; it is all to do with the difference between the words spirit and ghost. Most people understand that the “unseen” spirits of departed loved ones are with them, watching over them. Whereas, the haunting of a ghost is described often as a filmy/shadowy specter or ghost that is “seen” by the living. Acts describes Pentecost as flames settling on the disciples’ heads, in other words something that could be seen. This was the Holy Ghost, that tangible force that empowered them to heal and speak to the populace of all lands. The Holy Spirit is the Divine energy that was poured out on all humanity at Pentecost. The Holy Ghost could be seen as the designation for the Holy Spirit in physical form or when “she” is infused in a person, as occurred with Jesus and Saul/Paul and the disciples at Pentecost. However, we need to remember that after Jesus’ baptism the Holy Spirit reunited with the Christ, consequently, both Jesus and Saul/Paul became infused with the Divine partnership.

In the second book Love the Common Denominator, it was reported that the pseudo Clementine Homilies likened Saul/St Paul to Simon Magus. The Homilies accuse Simon Magus of crimes that the Jerusalem disciples later accuse Paul of. What we were surprised to discover was that the woman who traveled with Simon, Helen, was likened to Mary Magdalene. Professor Elaine Pagels, an accredited authority on Gnosticism has said that St Paul used Gnostic terms in his letters, (see 1Corinthinians 3:1). If St Paul did travel with Mary Magdalene it would explain why the Church attacked them under the names of Simon and Helen. Many Gnostics claim that they take their teachings from Paul. In fact, Valentinus claimed to have been taught by Theudas a disciple of St Paul and as Pistis Sophia reports Jesus taught about Sophia after his resurrection, passing the baton, so to speak to Mary Magdalene. Could this be how St. Paul also learned about these controversial teachings? The whole premise of the Gnostics was one of self-responsibility. Gnosticism held that Jesus showed us the way. Salvation is in our hands. At the time of St Paul, the Jerusalem Church was gaining both converts and wealth. If Gnosticism had prevailed there would have been no need for a hierarchical Church.

THE FULLNESS OF TIME

Almost two thousand years ago, the Universal Christ and Holy Spirit together with Sophia, put into motion through Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the means to end suffering. When Jesus sacrificed his life, he ended the law of an eye for an eye, a life for a life. By revealing humanity’s true origins, he gave us the tools to change this world. Until then the prophets taught people to fear God and worship became synonymous with appeasing the wrath of God. Jesus, with the Christ and Holy Spirit, taught how to transcend suffering through selflessness and compassion. He demonstrated with his actions how we should show compassion rather than judgment for our fellow human beings. To bring the kingdom of God into the world takes selfless Love, then God is truly present.

Remember how earlier we said that to think of Gnostic teachings in scientific terms is very difficult? Well as this is the Fullness of Time, we have the opportunity to understand the Christs’ assertion that the kingdom of God is within us, from a scientific perspective. All the Christs have talked of the gate to be entered. In researching this we discovered that they were referring to the heart-gate, that is after we transform the heart, we enter through the heart-gate into the kingdom of God; in other words inner space, not outer space. Through the innovation of quantum physics, we now know that there are worlds within worlds. The sub-atomic particles of the quantum physicists are the same as the elementals of the mysteries. To understand how there is consciousness at the subatomic level we recommend you read Michael Talbot’s brilliant book The Holographic Universe.

Today, we understand that emotions have an affect on the physical body. Moreover, through the groundbreaking work of Masaru Emoto, we are afforded the opportunity to literally see the effect different thoughts and words had on similar water molecule crystalline shapes during identical freezing processes. Remembering that a human being is 70% water, this a sobering thought. (This is not mystical supposition, but a verifiable scientific fact.) In addition, the work of the Institute of HeartMath has shown that the human heart emits a magnetic field stronger than the human brain. Could this be why Jesus warned us to be careful of what came out of the heart?

We have said that many people have wanted to help, but have felt helpless because they are only one person. We would say to them that all change begins with one person. Witness the achievements of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr Martin Luther King Jr. If we always keep in mind that we are energy and consciousness, we will realize that one person can affect the mind and heart of the planet, metaphorically speaking of course. Moreover, if we examine the Gnostic belief that the Christ, together with Sophia transmuted her emotions of fear, grief, ignorance and confusion into the four elements, we can see how this world can change. As was stated earlier, philosophers divided the material universe into Love and Fear, consequently, when a person lets go of fear, they fill their heart with Love.

The Gnostics believed that salvation came through gnosis. As was reported in our third book The True Philosophers’ Stone, this is most often translated into knowledge, but we feel a more appropriate translation is, knowing. With knowing our true origins, ignorance and confusion disappear. In addition, the grief of separation from God also disappears. Furthermore, if Irenaeus, the great Church father and heresiologist, is right when he states that the Gnostics believed that all evil originated from grief, then “evil” would also be transmuted. The key is the releasing of fear, which is at the base of all negative emotions. When we consider that the main constituent of all living beings is water and that Sophia’s fear was transmuted into water, not to mention the photographic evidence of Masaru Emoto, we can see why releasing fear will change the world.

The consciousness of humanity is connected. We experienced this connection immediately after 9/11, when we were all linked through suffering. This connection did not last because the shock and horror eventually dissipated. Obviously anyone who witnessed the tragedy or lost friends or loved ones in the attacks will have the vision forever burned into their consciousness. Nevertheless, the rest of the world “witnessed” the horrific events on television. Unfortunately, through watching horror movies and atrocities on the nightly news, many have become numb to the suffering of others. We are not for one minute comparing the terrible events of 9/11, with watching a movie; we just want to give you a visual analogy to explain our point. Still, there were a number of individuals among the witnesses and many people who didn’t personally see the attacks that felt genuine compassion for not only the victims of the attacks but also the families of the hijackers. This is key because their compassion was for all concerned and therefore had a stronger impact on the world’s consciousness. These people affected the powerful connection nearly everyone experienced. Alas, the constant reporting of the risk of another attack quickly turned this compassionate connection to fear for those that only felt for the victims of the attacks. For this reason the world soon degenerated into fear, with all the emotions and feelings that go with it, such as, anger, hatred, vengeance and judgment. Whenever we experience compassion, it takes a great deal fewer individuals to influence change. Gary Zukav in the Seat of the Soul says that the world reflects the consciousness of humanity. For instance if the majority of people are feeling hatred and anger, that is translated into wars and violence. Conversely, if the majority of people have compassion for their fellow human beings, that is what is reflected in the world.

Every soul born between 1945 and 1983 has returned at this time not to balance their personal karma, but to assist in the spiritual evolution of the Human Race. We mentioned earlier that members of the baby boomer generation were the first souls to mature. Whenever we think of the sixties, hippies and the flower children come to mind. Despite the historians making the flower children synonymous with the revolution of sex, drugs and antiestablishment, this generation were trying to teach the world a valuable lesson. The communes that they founded showed that if we stopped focusing on our differences, we could live in harmony with both nature and each other. Another thing this generation taught the world was that the power of the people is in their voices and not their fists. Of course there were some individuals connected to the movement that were bent on violence, nevertheless, the majority of young people advocated peaceful demonstration. Those hippies and flower children are in their fifties and sixties now and need to be reminded of the goal they held true during the summer of love. The ideals they held during this time were the ideals taught by all the Christ-like teachers throughout history. When their dreams were not realized, the hippies and flower children faded into obscurity believing that the dream could never be realized in their lifetimes. Many settled into their conventional lives helping the dream by supporting the various charities and thank God for them. Without the charitable organizations, the plight of the poor, sick and disenfranchised would be a great deal more serious. Unfortunately charities only relieve the symptoms without curing the disease. This is tantamount to putting a band-aid over a festering wound, the wound looks clean from the surface but underneath the infection is growing. When God told us to form the I.D.E.A Foundation for the Benefit of Humanity, we understood that rather than relieving symptoms we were to work to cure the disease. The most deadly diseases that affect the world are indifference, apathy, greed and selfishness. The world was not ready to rip the band-aid off during the sixties, but this is the Fullness of Time and it is now the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

After we opened the 7 Keys Millennium Awakening Center, we had a person commissioned to create a logo for the center. The lady chosen for the task had attended the same shamanic class that we had in 1999. The logo she created contained the 7 Keys, which alluded to the seven Keys of interpretation of all scriptural allegory. Regardless of the validity of the meaning, when we adopted the logo for the I.D.E.A. foundation, God told us that the symbol contained a far deeper spiritual meaning. The symbol also stood for the seven Keys to Love and the seven points to Truth. Dealing with the latter first the seven points to Truth are Objectivity, Discernment, Impartiality, Honesty, Curiosity, Awareness and Wisdom.

Seems clear enough, but the seven Keys to Love posed a much more difficult question for us. Today, Love is used to describe almost every strong desire and or affection for a person or object, but how can the Heavenly Father be an emotion? The master key, to use a euphemism, turned out to be the identification of Love as a state of being. This is achieved through the Sacred Marriage or Union. The New Testament refers to God as Love (1 John 4:16) and so to achieve union with the Heavenly Father, an individual must foster the 7 Keys of Patience, Forgiveness, Kindness, Humility, Understanding, Altruism and Compassion.

This is what Jesus and all the Christs of history have been telling us. It is through the Sacred Marriage or Union we change the world. By combining all three aspects of love we no longer objectify Love; we become the quintessence of Love, which is a state of being. It is only then that through altruism, compassion and selflessness that all suffering ends.

Considering the ideals of such a large number of individuals during the sixties it is hard to understand what happened. It wasn’t until we learned of the importance of astrology in evolution that the light went on for us. There are three major transitions in a person’s life, astrologically speaking. The Saturn Return, which occurs when the planet Saturn returns to the position it was at your birth, this event happens around twenty-nine years of age. The Uranus Opposition, which occurs when the planet Uranus is in the exact opposite position to where it was at your birth. This happens between the age of thirty-eight and forty-four. The third transition is a relatively recent innovation, as Chiron wasn’t discovered until 1977. An individual reaches their Chiron Return around the age of fifty when the planetoid Chiron returns to the position it was at your birth. These transitions are major stages in astrological terms. According to astrology, a person does not even begin to understand their purpose for existence until their Uranus Opposition. However, until the twentieth century, only a small amount of the population lived above forty years of age. It is because of the extended longevity of the Baby-Boomers that this is the Fullness of Time. We do not believe that the generation that spawned the hippie movement has completely forgotten the feeling of being able to achieve anything; because of your maturity, now you can. It is time to step forward again.

Oh yes, and you remember how we started with the good news? Well, here is the flip side. It needs to be a big step that changes the way you see the priorities in your life stacked up. It will become the single most, all-consuming priority of your spiritual existence in this major cycle. One will have to lose the body-brain life that we are deluded into believing is what we are, for the spirit-eternal life that we truly are—“lose your life to gain it.” (Matthew 10:39) This does not mean you have to literally die. Spirit will not sustain existence by doing what you want, but by wanting what you do each moment in existence to sustain spirit. This evolutionary jump demands it and the culling process in place is that very box we know as day-to-day existence or business as usual. We must be able to get out of it to move on.

It is interesting when you consider the millions of people born between 1945 and 1983 that the Body of Christ consists of just 777,000 people. (Again not limited to Christians per say) This is only a very small percentage of the population. It is mind-boggling to think that just a mere 777,000 people becoming compassionate are needed for the world to transform, but that is because of the power of selfless love. More than two billion people were born during this time (2,213,012,000) Even if we halve the number, (1,106,506,000) allowing for early deaths, we are still left with more than one billion souls as potential members of the Body of Christ; 777,000 is less than one percent (0.7030%), so why so many souls for so small a percentage? The answer is because of the seduction of the world many souls become immersed in the illusion and never remember why they were born.

We asked God the question, are only people born between 1945 and 1983 involved in assisting the spiritual evolution? The answer we received was that everyone alive who will be at least 21 in December 2012 has the opportunity to become a member of the Body of Christ or the 777,000. In fact everyone on Earth who will be over the age of twenty-one by 2012 is being asked to choose whether they want to be either part of the problem or part of the solution. Children, irrespective of them being old souls are subject to their parents. Having said that, there are exceptional children on the planet today who have chosen to be born at this time. The reason they elected to be below the age of consent (21) at the end of the cycles is because they are here for those that through confusion, indecision, and fear get left behind. Parents of these children, irrespective of their destination can help by being an example to them. It is important to always remember that although the soul of the child may be old and wise, it is still encased in the mind and body of a child, and just like all children needs to be guided with discipline and clear boundaries.

Jesus said he would return at the Fullness of Time. The Fullness of Time was when enough souls had evolved to start the spiritualization of matter. When Jesus reappears, he will do this in a very public arena, where there are television cameras. This is what he meant when he said, the son of man will appear, like lightning flashes from the east to the west. Remember there was no satellite TV in the first century.

It is up to each individual. No one can do it for you. You must decide for yourself, whether you believe people can change the way they think and become selfless or whether humanity is hopelessly selfish. We believe in the former. Given the chance most people will rise to the occasion, will you? J.F.K said in one of his most famous speeches, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” We would go one further and say: ask not what the world can do for you; ask what you can do for the world.

Craig and Suzzan formed the foundation on May 1st 2003 and have been gathering the directors since then. July 2003 the foundation’s mission statement was penned.

Visions of I.D.E.A.

In January 2003, GOD showed Suzzan a vision of what her six-pointed star necklace means. He told her that up till now their work has been on the spiritual planes. But now it was time to bring Heaven to the Earth, so to speak. With that He showed her a map of the North West of America. As she watched, a light began to appear in the Tacoma area. Then the map changed by zooming out with beams of light radiating out of Tacoma and traveling to various cities in the US. Some of the cities she saw included Portland, Oregon; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; New Orleans, Louisiana; Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Abilene, Texas. Then the map changed again. Zooming out again it now incorporated the entire World, with the beams of light now touching every country.

When Suzzan asked how this would happen? She was shown 13 individuals forming a body of spirit. There were beams of light radiating from their hearts and forming a shaft of light in the center, which was the ray emanating from Tacoma. It was then Suzzan was shown the formation of the foundation. She was told that this was a new paradigm in which, the purpose was to lead the way in demonstrating altruism. The foundation is to touch the spirits of the prosperous to share their good fortune with those who are not so privileged.

The 13 members are totally guided by GOD, working, as a cohesive whole GOD alone would direct the appointment of each board member. Their selection will not be determined by their qualifications, although they will be eminently qualified to serve, but by their ability to answer the call and surrender themselves to GOD.

Both Craig and Suzzan wondered how the vision could become a reality. Realistically it was going to take several million dollars and everyone they had been directed to ask to participate in the formation of the foundation was certainly not in any position to bankroll the project. But after forming the foundation, Suzzan received another vision. This time it was multitudes of people wearing a button saying “I Commit to Humanity.” Seeking a meaning for the vision, God told her that throughout the world different people hold a different vision of God or Divinity, which in effect diffuses the focus. If instead the Human Race could see the spark of the Divine in every human heart, even if only in potential, then they will bring that focus together and begin to build the Body of Christ.

A special thank you is extended to Elizabeth L Yeates, who is also the editor of My Lost Love. She polished the manuscript to make it as grammatically perfect as possible. Also, we would like to extend our appreciation to Lee Neilsen, the editor of The True Philosophers’ Stone. She proof read the manuscript and made some useful suggestions to help the writing have greater clarity and flow.

Craig and Suzzan were given the framework for a process to reveal any individual’s Secret Spiritual Codes. This Spiritual Reading uses your spoken name, birth location, date and time to provide you with your strengths, weaknesses, and tools to help in your melodic spiritual mission.
