Ascension Jesus:

Ascension Jesus:

It was his projected manifested body that was in the upper room and
that disappeared on his ascension. His actual body was perhaps on the way or
in India. People can project their subtle bodies but Jesus could
solidify his from the atoms in the air etc. According to Cayce.
This fits in with the abilities of Yogis in India who do this kind
of thing to this very day. Jesus after the 'Death', on the cross was
not an individual anymore but the universal. The body itself had
karma to complete so lived on, like a wheel whose engine has been
turned off but still spins for a while.

Death itself is a strange subject, what is it? It is the separation
from our desires. We leave the body every night in deep sleep, but
return in the morning, that is a temporary death. Yogis in India can
bury themselves alive for a week and still live. Jesus was an
accomplished Raja Yogi, and his resurrection and miracles are no
surprise in India. There are credible stories of yogis entering and
reviving young bodies on funeral pyres, to save them time in being
reborn.
Jesus had come into the world to complete his own work or karma in other words. The spiritual realms
are just less obvious materialisation that's all, there is only one
spirit in the universe. He became the Christ but the body had still
prarabda karma to fulfill.
I tend to think that Jesus went back to India and lived out the rest of his days there,
however it is possible that he did dematerialise himself completely
at the ascension and that was that. In India they have a word for it
which translated means disappeared and refers to their Jesus-like
past masters. So that is a theory also.
I believe that Jesus was something similar to a bhodisattva or a
being that doesn't need to take birth but does to help. In India
they call this type of Master a Karana Janma. Jesus had to fulfill
his 'fall', according to cayce, so this fits.
There is a belief in India that one can go to the highest level of
consciousness or heaven and await the mahapralaya or subsuming of
the material and subtle universes into 'God', then get release at
that time. This is where the Jesus's and Bodhisattvas take rebirth
from, retaining just one thought to help. If they gave up all
thought they would return to 'God', like a raindrop in the ocean and
therefore not existing to take birth again..........

Psychic Attacks.

Psychic Attacks. Actually thought transference...and based on belief/fear.

On one particular occasion I was working as a portrait photographer in the Queensland Bush. I had taken a team of canvassers and myself to Mt. Isa, en route Darwin. The Isa is a large mining town in a semi-arid region of Queensland. I quite liked it there for there was a large Irish Club that I was a member of and business was good in the town.

Amongst my crew was a New Zealander, a Pake Ha, or white man. He was really hitching a ride to Darwin, in order to go on "the dole". He told the others that he was a witch, and I didn't take much notice at the time. I poo-pooed this and of course put myself in his bad books. I was to regret my cynicism and dis-belief for he was pretty strange anyway and didn't seem to approve of our business either.

One particular morning I noticed that my door was ajar and I had a hazy recollection of two people in my room. It was the witch and another fellow a young Scottish Immigrant, his friend.I thought it a strange dream and I dismissed it. Later in the day a few of my canvassers quit, including one with a car. So I had to go and rent a car. Whilst I was parking, the young friend of our witch asked me how my legs were. I told him that they were fine but then I noticed that they were getting weak below the knees. I had noticed some effects before this, but this directed my mind to them. I thought I must have a vitamin defficiency so I bought some mult-vitamins and had a meal.

As it happened I notice an old Aborigine woman, whose photos I had taken, staring at me from over the road. She could see something I could not and I would never find out what she saw, for years. I took many Aboriginal Portraits and many were on credit. The Aboringines always paid me, the whites, on credit, on the other hand invariably did not. This was the opposite of what I was told to expect. Anyway my legs were not getting better and I needed the car to get around.

The weakness was now up to my knees, a very strange feeling indeed. I decided to go into town to the Irish Club and have a beer and a chat. As I started out I felt a bolt of energy go through me and found myself saying " l Iove God,I love God," a most unusual thing for me to say .After this my legs began to strengthen but I didn't associate it at the time. I just thought the multi-vitamins were working. I kept the "Divine Experience" though and it started me thinking again about God. I still didn't go to Church though. About a year later I made a return to religious, if not spiritual enquiry and it no doubt started here in Mt.Isa. It was still a Christian oriented path though and I was reading the Bible and listening to prophecies. Later I moved to the Sufis and Vedanta and I don't believe in a Personal God who does anything but an Energy/Consciousness that witnesses.

A few years later when I was into the Huna and Hawaiian Mysticism I noticed something that shocked me. I was reading one of Max Freedom Long's books on the Huna and I came across a chapter describing how the Kahunas cursed people. I then remembered the witch in Mt.Isa. He said that he had been taught by the Maori Tofungas, Kahuna in Maori. I won't describe the method here but I realised that I had been cursed, Anana,and that my life had been in danger. I had been attacked by familiar spirits or thoughtforms, who would have eventually eaten up my energy or mana.

The energy bolt that went through me was a Divine Intervention of my Higher Self or Kundalini, and probably saved me from an illness or worse. I haven't had a problem since, although I still have the memory of it. The Buddha said if you don't accept a present from someone it stays with the giver. So put white light around oneself and refuse to accept the present, it will go back to whence it came. That is how to protect oneself from these attacks plus prayer is also a help.

One day, many years later, I was talking to Charlie T, in Vancouver, and he narrated a very similar experience to me. It seems that he had been working on the oil-rigs for a Singapore company and was making very good wages. His supervisor was a corrupt ex-cop and demanded bribes for contractual renewals. He was demanding quite a few hundred U.S. dollars and Charlie refused to pay. Charlie went direct to the company instead and this enraged the supervisor. Some time later Charlie became quite ill and lost all energy from his body and ended up on a respirator. How Charlie described it to me, it started in his legs and then worked it's way up his body. After recovering a little, a Malaysian who had yogic siddhis, did a cleansing on him. He told Charlie that he had been cursed by a dark, evil, witchdoctor.. It seemed the energy drained from Charlie's body from the feet upwards and weakened his whole system as it moved up his body. Eventually it progressed to his throat area, causing great pain, as it moved from the lower chakra to his vital organs. This process usually takes three days, I was attacked for only one day.

A lady told Charlie that he had been cursed by the supervisor on the rigs, who had gone to an evil yogi in Thailand, and paid him to curse Charlie to a painful lingering death. This was so similar to my story I was sure of what happened to me. It seems "evil mystics" use" thought forms" and captive or familiar spirits to curse you. These entities feed on your energy, prana or mana, starting at your feet and then progressively and aggressively work up your body destroying you. Charlie was given the opportunity to send the curse back to the curser but didn't bother now he was well. Also he was a spiritual person and didn't want to cause harm. In my case I did eventually forgive the Tofunga, or Dark Witch.

So one has to be so careful, some of these "left-hand Yogis". That is why one has to be so careful who one is listening to or associating with.

I knew another person who had a problem with spirit oppression, and she tried spiritual teachers, minor gurus and everything but nothing worked. They even were pulling her hair and terrorising her. Eventually she got fed up and told them that if they didn't stop bothering her she would get help and that they would be stuck on the lower planes forever. Once the fear was gone so were the oppressions.

Jai-Jai came to us in a strange way.

Jai-Jai. April 1990-March 2006.



Jai-Jai came to us in a strange way.



We were at Mt Gravatt Shopping Mall outside in the car park, when I had vision of myself going over the gateway bridge to the north side of Brisbane. Why I didn’t know?



I had thought that getting a dog may make my wife more happy in Brisbane, and I knew that she always wanted a little hairy dog. So looking in the papers, I called up an ad with shih-tzus for sale. It was at an address on the northern side of the river over the gateway bridge!



We went over and met a couple, who actually were into Buddhism. Jean sat and played with the pups who were about six months old. Jai-Jai was called JL McCabe after a TV personality who liked to eat. So we immediately renamed him Jai-Jai or Jai for short, which means victory in Sanskrit. He had a couple of defects so he was cheap, $100 instead of about $600. He had a blue eye and a brown one and also had a stomach hernia. We had him ‘fixed’ and the hernia repaired at the same time.



We took him home and gave him a flea bath and brushed him up.

He was an aggressive little guard dog though and would launch himself into space at the insect screen on the front door, when somebody came. He was a little scoundrel and not a peaceable dog at all, he was very bossy, and would give you a nip.



Not long after this we decided to return to Canada and we weren’t going to leave him behind. So I went ahead and he was boxed up and sent after me. Unfortunately he was lost by the airline and ended up in Japan and the USA. However he did arrive eventually a couple of days late and I put him into a shelter for a week. I first took him for a walk in Central Park and he experienced snow for the first time.

We all eventually moved into a house and he joined us there. A joy and a delight, to everyone.

His next big challenge came at about 10 years. He did suffer from some kind of neurological disease and was taken to seizures.



At one point his back legs went and so we had to take him in for aggressive anti-inflammatory treatment. He couldn’t walk, so I attached a basket to an airline suitcase wheels and took him for walks. I would take him out for a pee and poop, and let him walk a little. I nursed him for six months in this way until he could walk and run again.

He had to go into the vet’s again for some bad teeth removal and have some stones removed from his stomach. He overcame this also.



Eventually we moved to a house in Delta with a big back yard, which we shared with our daughter Brigid and her three dogs.

This was a happy time for a couple of year until it became obvious that he was mostly deaf and was going blind with cataracts. The downhill trend didn’t accelerate until his last few months, where he was totally blind and didn’t want to walk anymore. I nursed him and looked after him until the 31 March 2006, he had a debilitating stroke and had to be released from his old body, almost sixteen years old.



We loved him dearly as a child, and he carried us through some turbulent and emotional times. He held me up when I felt I should lay down. There were no empty spaces in our hearts with Jai-Jai around. He taught us so much and asked for so little, unconditional love for us. Combined with Brigid’s dogs we had a pack of four and in less that twelve months that was reduced to one, yet I know that three are together on the Astral/Heaven planes.



In fact just about ten days before he died, I saw Rumbles and Brodi standing staring at me as I was starting to awake one morning. I guessed then that they were telling me that Jai-Jai was coming up to join them soon. However then an anal infection he had cleared up with anti-biotics and I thought he may last until after Easter, but a sudden stroke in the night rendered him in a spasmic state and unable to walk. He was quite distressed about it and it got steadily worse through the day. I had booked him for his last visit to the Vet for 5:20 so Jean could be there when he left. My daughter Brigid came over and when Jai-Jai awoke he was distressed again. So I gave him some analgesics and a shot of brandy, which made him sleep again. When Jean came home he awoke again but we were ready for the trip to the Vets, and although he was distressed and barking his passing was mercifully quick and painless.

I cannot describe the pain and sense of loss we felt. I had been through the grieving process before but this bowled me over. I take consolation that he is now happy with his buddies and has all his faculties again.



I did a meditation and saw him. He was very close and looked younger with more hair.

I told him that I loved him and he said that he didn’t want to leave, but thanked me for allowing him to come here—Astral Doggie Heaven. He said that he can see, hear and everything and is very happy. I told him I was happy for him and we would meet again, that he really hadn’t gone away. Rumbles, Brodi were there and the other dogs. Also the Blue Devas were there also, doing their work minding and teaching the dogs. He said again that he didn’t want to leave me but the suffering was great. I told him again that I loved him and that we were not really apart. Some days later, as I was sitting watching TV, he paid us a goodbye visit. I could feel the love energy in my chest and heart, just as when I held him. I said to Jean, 'Jai-Jai is here I can feel him. So this was where he said goodbye to this plane and completed all his visits. To add to this the last two license tags, his rabies tag, and his micro chip tag all added up to the universal number 9. In Sanskrit and Eastern Philosophy and Numerology 9 is Jaya or Victory, which is also what Jai-Jai Means. Sometime later, I meditated and went up again. I first saw Rumbles and then Brodi and I talked to them. Jai-Jai then came over and he was staring at me, trying to remember me. Just as he would after I had been away for a while, when he was still in the body. I picked him up and hugged him the way I used to do, and I was filled with surging Blissful Energy or Love. The last time I went up; I was confronted by a Deva filling my complete line of sight. I told him we were all Devas and then I saw the dogs again, and hugged Jai-Jai. On reflection I feel my Astral Visits are disturbing their work and there is no point in my going there for my personal attachment and grief reasons. For Jai-Jai in his old form cannot come back and my visits in this way may be destabilizing him. I resolved not to do it again and leave it to when we are both in the ‘Dream World’, where it won’t have the same effect. We are all one anyway!

Gospel of Matthew.

Gospel of Matthew.

I have left the King James version as it is, but have added my purports to it…Tony O’Clery. 2004.
Matt.5. Excerpts from this Gospel with purports.

[1] And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
[2] And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
[3] Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.



Purport:

This means be humble and not egotistic so one can receive the teaching and become Liberated. For if one is rich in spirit and has a proud ego, one cannot learn.


[4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.



Purport:

This has different meanings. Mourning can mean sensitivity but in this case the loss is the separation from ‘God’, or The Self. It is the feeling of separation from God that encompasses all the emotions like fear and insecurity, grief and similar feelings. It is the desire to be reunited with God and achieve Liberation.




[5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.



Purport:

This again is referring to humbleness and being ego-less and accepting the teaching and surrendering to ‘God’. Also the richest man on the planet is the one who has the least desires.



[6] Blessed are they, which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.



Purport:

This is the desire for Liberation or Union with ‘God’. There is an old Indian parable, where a man says he wants to see God. He is held under water until he gasps for breath and told that is the desire you should have to realise God or Liberation;- the desire to breath.


[7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.



Purport:

This is about showing love to all, Metta the Buddhist call it. Where one actually practices the feeling of love for all beings, whether animal, vegetable or mineral, and wishes them no harm.


[8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.



Purport:

This is about purifying the mind completely for then one will be united with ‘God’. In Yoga it is called a purified ‘Awareness Sheath’, or Vijnamamayakosa. This is not just the lower mentality but actually purifying all ones attributes and tendencies until there are no thoughts left even. For the mind is just a bundle of thoughts and when it is dropped--------All is One or ‘God’.


[9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.



Purport:

This is about non-violence or Ahimsa, for to become aware spiritually one has to be non violent first. Non-Violence is necessary to install compassion, for without compassion one cannot purify the mind and realise ‘God’. So one has to be peaceful within oneself, for if one is totally peaceful one is Liberated.


[10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.



Purport:

Persecution has two meanings; being actually persecuted and also an inner persecution of turmoil on the spiritual path. Many call it the ‘Dark night of the Soul’, and one is persecuted by one’s own thoughts and desires, going through a mental purifying, turmoil to adjust ones thinking to the path of God and Liberation.


[11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.



Purport:

This is like turning the other cheek and not responding to attack, so growing in Ahimsa or non-violence. However it is also being reviled for being on the spiritual path at all. Materialist do not like people who take the spiritual path, they think they are dull and boring and ridicule and persecute them.


[12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.



Purport:

As the prophets also became illumined and Liberated, so shall you. Heaven has two meanings ; the literal and also Liberation or Kingdom of Heaven.


[13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.



Purport:

Do not lose your spirituality for then what you have left is worth nothing.


[14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.



Purport:

You are in fact the Light that you are seeking, shine your love on all.


[15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.



Purport:

Your own Liberation will shine on to others in the form of Love for All. This is Metta and seeing all as one and giving love to all beings and things.


[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.



Purport:

By your example others may learn. Act out of Love, and demonstrate what spirituality is all about. Others then will see what you are teaching in actual action.


[17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.



Purport:

Jesus is saying that he has come to fulfill all the prophecies, and finish off his work in the world by paying karma, and taking karma. He does this to repay the karma incurred by the first Adam. So Jesus or Yeshua is the second Adam and fulfills the la, and promise. He also comes to finally be totally Liberated and not just a dweller in the Heavens..


[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.



Purport:

This is referring to the Law of Karma, or cause and effect to some extent. Every deed both good and bad must receive its reward and there is no way to escape karma. Jesus is also saying that he comes to fulfil the law, which indicates filling his own karma as the second Adam. Jesus was the first Adam and he fell, so there is a final karma to be worked out. He does this on the cross and no longer returns to Heaven but is Liberated and merged with ‘God’.




[19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
[20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.



Purport:

Do not be a hypocrite, practice what you preach. One has to rise above the ordinary scriptures and righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees and become Liberated. Show a good example to all, and pass on the Truth.


[21] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
[22] But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
[23] Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
[24] Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.



Purport:



This is about not harbouring resentments and only having love and forgiveness. This prevents the creation of binding karma and so frees the mind. It is all about non violence and compassion for all. For with compassion comes awareness and with that the opportunity for Liberation or the Kingdom of Heaven. Thou shalt not kill means exactly that, and the word in Hebrew is ‘ lo Tirtzah’ which means not kill anything. Also thought is a thing, so thinking something also attracts its corresponding karma.


[25] Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
[26] Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
[27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
[28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
[29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
[30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
[31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
[32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
[33] Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
[34] But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
[35] Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
[36] Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.



Purport:

Here we are dealing with the mind and action being the same thing. We have to watch the senses that they don’t lead us into ways that are inimicable to spiritual progress. There is also an injunction not to swear oaths, which is a very Essenic injunction.


[37] But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.



Purport:

Just give a yes or a no instead of swearing oaths.

.
[38] Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
[39] But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.



Purport:

This again is Ahimsa or non violence. Turn the other cheek means don’t return evil with evil for there will be karma to serve and so it will go back and forth. It also translate the Old Testament saying an eye for an eye into karmic terms. Not literally taking an eye for and eye in this life.


[40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.



Purport:

This is a lesson in non attachment. If someone takes one’s coat then don’t grieve over the loss, just give away your cloak as well. Rise above attachments to material things. For this is to offset the danger of being attached to the loss of the coat, give away more so it is nullified.


[41] And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.



Purport:

If you are forced to do something then don’t resist against it but go the extra mile so attachment doesn’t form. This also prevent the indignant ego rising up and becoming an impediment to spiritual progress.


[42] Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.



Purport:

Give help and alms to all that you can afford to diminish attachment and encourage love for all.


[43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
[44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;



Purport:

This is in the vein of Metta or love for all sentient beings. Do not harbour resentments and revenge as these negative emotions will only bring bad karma in the future. Try and remember that All is One, I AM THAT I AM.




[45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.



Purport:

All is one and the grace of God is like a Divine Wind, one only has to put up a sail to receive it. It is available to all constantly. Also ultimately the idea of good and evil is relative and another illusion.


[46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
[47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?



Purport:

Love All, for All is One! Do not harbour resentments against people and have no enemies for it only injures oneself and brings the appropriate karma. Don’t restrict your love to only those that love you, but love your enemies as well as part of yourself.


[48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.



Purport:

This means that one has to purify one’s mind, inner and outer. Purifying one’s diet, thoughts and behaviour until all thought is risen above. The difference between man and God is only the mind. The mind is a bundle of thoughts only but it leaves a residue of attributes and tendencies. These all have to be risen above, good and bad, for only when the mind is purified will we be able to see ‘God’, or become One with Him in His Kingdom of Heaven. In other words Nirvana, Moksha, Liberation, Realisation, the drop falling into the ocean. For even one thought will separate us from God and bring us back into reincarnation again. So the Ego is the first thought and has to be destroyed. God plus thought equals man; and man minus thought is God.


Matt.6

[1] Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
[2] Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
[3] But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
[4] That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
[5] And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
[6] But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
[7] But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
[8] Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
[9] After this manner therefore pray ye:



Purport:

These lines really refer to boasting, doing things in public so everyone can see what one is doing. Do not sing or pray empty repetitious exhortations, pray quietly and meditate.



THE LORD’S PRAYER:



Our Father who art in Heaven.



Purport:

This is referring to God and the fact that we are all His children. Heaven can be translated as just that-a plane or it can be translated as the non dual liberation.



Hallowed be Thy Name:



Purport:

Holy is Thy Name. Any name of God is Holy and is a mantra or sacred phrase. Repeating the chosen name takes one’s mind to the spiritual and purifies the mind, by attracting the corresponding spiritual vibration. So whether it is ‘Jesus the Christ have mercy on us’, Om Namah Sivaya, Hare Krishna, Om Mani Padme Hum, Om Sakti Namaha, or any other name of God it is all the same. There is only one God so chanting the name invokes that. This is the ritual known as The Rosary/Japa, which is common to Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and some Christian groups, such as the Catholics.



Thy Kingdom Come.



Purport:

Let all become brothers and sisters on the planet, and all working towards Liberation. Let all see that the material world is all part of the body of God. Let us become Realised.



Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.



Purport:

Complete surrender of the fruits of action to God is indicated here. Let the Will of God decide not our will. As it is God’s energy that is the doer anyway, surrender the fruits of action to The Lord. It also is addressed to those living on the planet and looking to not getting out anytime soon. As that is most of us, it refers to Nishkarma karma or offering the work to the Lord and leaving the fruits of action to the Lord. So it is about turning one’s society into a just and spiritual society, as it is on the heaven planes. Do the work and leave the rest to providence!



Give us this day our daily bread.



Purport:

This is the bread of life, spiritual energy, coming from the Lord. Grace if you will. This involves some daily prayer and meditation to bring the spiritual into our everyday life and making it all an offering to the Lord.



And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others.



Purport:

Let us not incur bad karma Forgive us our mistakes as we will forgive others, who may have offended us.



And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil Amen…..



Purport:

Let not God’s creation tempt us to falter, for we have to rise up over our attachments to materiality and achieve Liberation. Amen is the same sound as Om, even though it may originate from the same source as Amon the Egyptian Deity. Creation is an effect of Immanent God, or Personal God, and in itself is a temptation. A temptation to believe that is real, when it really is a kind of dream projection. So here we are praying for Realisation and Liberation. The story of Adam’s fall relates to this, for the temptation was to engage in creation with its attachments and desires, instead of being dispassionate and detached. I don’t believe ‘Eve’, had much to do with it, for Adam had a wife Lilith prior to Eve, who was of the previous beings.



: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


[14] For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
[15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.



Purport:

These two are referring to karma, for by forgiving, one doesn’t incur any negative karma, but if you don’t forgive you incur the same karma and it stays in the subconscious as a resentful impediment.


[16] Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.



Purport:

By wearing one’s good deeds or religion on ones sleeve, one gets ego satisfaction and that is the karmic reward in itself already.


[17] But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

[18] That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
[19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:



Purport:

For these saying it is about preparing oneself spiritually and not advertising the fact. It is about not letting the ego reign, for your own inner self knows what is happening and this will bring progress.


[20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.



Purport:

The spiritual karma and gains one makes are far more important than material things, and last forever.


[22] The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
[23] But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!



Purport:

Single mindedness of purpose is indicated here, plus there is the Kundalini/Holy Ghost aspect as well. The single eye is the ajna cakra or third eye of spirituality, represented in the forehead between the eyes. So we are talking of the rise of spirituality here, and if the upper cakras are not developed then spirituality is stunted and dark and confined to the lower animal and sensual cakras. Cakras are psycho spiritual centers in the body rising up the spine area.


[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.



Purport:

One cannot be on the spiritual path and at the same time have a great desire for material or illusory goods and pleasures.


[25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
[26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
[27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
[28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
[29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
[30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
[31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
[32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.



Purport:

These lines are about surrendering to the Lord the fruits of one’s labour and admitting that one is no the doer. This is called no karma karma or nishkarma karm in the East. So throw oneself on the providence of the Lord and continue completing action. For one will find that when one seeks first spirituality, the rest follows. God takes care of his animals and plants, so why wouldn’t He take care of you?
Matt.7

[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.



Purport:

Do not violate the law of karma, for judgment will come back on to oneself. An equal and opposite action and reaction--------an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth, but vengeance is mine sayeth The Lord.


[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
[4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
[5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.



Purport:

Perfect oneself before trying to teach and lecture others. Do not look for the faults in others, as the faults that most annoy us are the reflection of our own faults.


[6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.



Purport:

Do not give advanced non dualistic teaching to those of a lower awareness, for they will not understand them properly and so may misuse them. Some may even become angry as the Priests and others did with Jesus from time to time.


[7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
[8] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
[9] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?



Purport:

Ask and it shall be given, is again surrendering to God. Also of one goes within and seeks the truth and spirituality one will find it, as it is our inner being.


[11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?



Purport:

If one moves on to the spiritual path, God will give more and more knowledge and progress.


[12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.



Purport:

This is the Golden Rule of all the religions in the world. It also incorporates the law of karma, for whatever one does so does one receive. We only meet ourselves on this journey of life.


[13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.



Purport:

Here again we are talking about Kundalini and the Cakras. There psychic spine has three channels and the middle one is the ‘Strait Gate’, when consciousness enters into this sushumna and rises through the centers of cakras one becomes more spiritual. In fact a risen Kundalini is the manifestation of the Holy Ghost as at Pentecost. The consciousness rises up the Strait Gate and then into ‘The Spiritual Heart’, which is extant as the Kingdom.


[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.



Purport:

Watch out for the spiritual frauds, doing miracles and promising salvation, and then amassing wealth or sexual proclivities. Any Saint that is materialistic and sensual is not a Saint at all and many are molestors. So look to what they do not what they preach or say.


[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.



Purport:

One has to surrender completely to the will of God. This in fact means giving up the ego and merging with the Universal, or Liberation from the illusion that we are separate.


[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.



Purport:

Many will be false prophets and egotists that will do the work for their own self agrandisment. That is their reward and all they have done is strengthen the ego separating them from knowing God.


[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.



Purport:

Whosover hears these saying and acts on them will gain spiritually. Those that gain so and rise above the ego cannot be touched by anything here in materiality.


[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.



Purport:

If one ignores the teachings and the truth and practices one’s one egotistic desires, then spiritually one will fail. With the first adversity one will be shattered, for one’s ego is tide up with the happenings on the planet.


[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
[29] For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.



Purport:

The people were astonished for Jesus was not talking out of a book, or do as I say not as I do, so to speak. He spoke with the authority and truth of a Realised Being. He taught them directly heart to heart from God.

Examining Jesus.

Examining Jesus.

INTRODUCTION



It seems to me that the Essenic influence has been overlooked in favour of a Judaic standard, with regard to Jesus. Even though this is hard to do due to the fact that Judaism as another name for Pharisaism wasn't known as such at the time. In fact it didn't evolve until after 70ce and achieve its modern identity until as late as 200ce. Many of the references to Jews in the Bible only came in after the translations into English. They in all likelihood refer to the Sadducee Priests,(Herodian), and their hangers on, who were coming close to the end of their influence. The word Jew comes from the word Judean which really has no absolute religious connotations at all. It actually denotes inhabitants of all religions and races living in Judea at the time. Although in earlier times there was a Judean and an Israelite Kingdom, it seems. However these were more tribal than grandiose. So the term 'Jew' cannot be backwritten or used retrospectively as a substitute for Hebrews or Israelites, anymore than Christian or Muslim can. Except for Judaic forms going back to the time of the Babylonian Exile, c500 BCE. Hebrew is a more inclusive and accurate term, in many circumstances.

Josephus does say that there were about 4,000 Essenes, and perhaps seven thousand Pharisees and a few thousand Sadducees. Josephus also claims to have lived with the Essenes so would have a personal understanding of what they believed. This is besides the general population of course. Pliny, Philo and many others wrote about the Essenes as well. It seems the Essenes and their peripheral devotees were the fastest growing group at the time.

The Catholic Encyclopedia now recognises a debt to the Essenes, since the Dead Sea Scrolls.

If Jesus came from an Essenic background then he wouldn't have been either Pharisaic or Sadducean. He would have had a broader belief system with other influences from mystery groups in Egypt, India, Egypt, and of course Persia.

The claims to be Son of God or only begotten come from the later Christians. (In 325, Constantine the Great convened the council of Nicea to settle the Arian dispute concerning the nature of Jesus Christ. It was there that the doctrine of the Trinity was declared to be the orthodox Christian belief. Literature on what happened at this council is scant. The Arian controversy lead to much discussion in the early part of the fourth century. Gregory of Nyssa writes: "Every corner of Constantinople was full of their discussions: the streets, the market place, the shops of the money changers, the victuallers. Ask a tradesman how many obols he wants for some article in his shop, and he replies with the disquisition on generated and ungenerated being. Ask the price of bread today and the baker tells you: "The son is subordinate to the father." Ask your servant if the bath is ready and he makes an answer: "The son arose out of nothing." "Great is the only Begotten," declared the Catholics, and the Arians rejoined: "But greater is He that begot."1 How many Gospels had to be scrutinized at the Council of Nicea? Some sources say 270 and others say there were as many as 4,000. If you have a reliable source of information regarding the number of gospels present at the council of Nicea, or any other relevant information, please contact us. It was at the Council of Nicea, in 325 AD that the Roman Sun-day or day of the Sun was declared to be the Christian Sabbath along with the worship of the sun being the official state religion. It was at the Council of Nicea, in 325 AD that the emblem of the Sun god, the cross of light, was adopted as the emblem of Christianity. It was at the Council of Nicea, in 325 AD that the date of Easter was established. It was at the Council of Nicea, in 325 AD that rules were framed that defined the authority of bishops, thereby paving the way for a concentration of power in ecclesiastical hands. It was at the Council of Nicea, in 325 AD that, by vote, Jesus was declared a god, not a mortal prophet. "...a year after the Council of Nicea, he (Constantine) sanctioned the confiscation and destruction of all works that challenged orthodox teachings - works by pagan authors that referred to Jesus, as well as works by "heretical" Christians. He also arranged for a fixed income to be allocated to the Church and installed the bishop of Rome in the Lateran Palace (It was not until 384 that the bishop of Rome called himself Pope for the first time). Then, in A.D. 331, he commissioned and financed new copies of the Bible. This constituted one of the single most decisive factors in the entire history of Christianity and provided Christian orthodoxy with an unparalleled opportunity. In A.D. 303, a quarter of a century earlier, the pagan emperor Diocletian had undertaken to destroy all Christian writings that could be found. As a result Christian documents - especially in Rome - all but vanished. When Constantine commissioned new versions of these documents, it enabled the custodians of orthodoxy to revise, edit, and rewrite their material as they saw fit, in accordance with their tenets. It was at this point that most of the crucial alterations in the New Testament were probably made. The importance of Constantine's commission must not be underestimated. Of the five thousand extant early manuscript versions of the New Testament, not one predates the fourth century. The New Testament as it exists today is essentially a product of fourth-century editors and writers."2 Constantine What was the intention of Constantine? Was it to convert the Roman Empire to Christianity, or was the acceptance of Christianity as a co-religion a matter of expediency? Under Constantine, the official state religion was pagan sun worship.* During Constantine’s reign “Sol Invictus,” the invincible sun, was prominently displayed on imperial banners and the coinage of the realm.* During Constantine's reign, he acted as the chief priest and was called "The Sun Emperorship" of the sun worship cult.* Until Constantine's decree of 321 Jesus' birthday was always celebrated on January 6, but Constantine changed it to December 25 which was the festival of Natalis Invictus, the birth (or rebirth) of the sun, when the days began to get longer.* By a decree in 321, Constantine announced that the courts to be closed on “the venerable day of the sun (Sunday).* Constantine was not baptized until when he was lying on his deathbed in 337. http://www.thegreatestpuzzle.com/325j1.htm) It is likely as the Essenes were known to rise and pray in the direction of the sun at dawn, that Constantine saw this as a connection to his own Sun Worship. Although like Akhenaten the Essenes worshipped the consciousness behind the sun, not the sun itself. St Augustine is quoted as saying that which is now. called Christian has always existed, since the beginning of time. In fact they also had an installation in Egypt at Heliopolis, probably harking back beyond Akhenaten, the monotheist. They also had contact with other groups around the world and as far away as India. Which isn’t surprising for the Buddhists were in Alexandria.

I don't understand why the Pharisees would have been persecuting the Essenes and Christians but it is not hard to see how the Sadducees would be. Was Paul working for the Temple Police? It is mentioned in the Scrolls that the

Teacher of Righteousness was killed by the wicked Priest, this would fit in with the fact the Sadducees regarded the prophets as heretics. Although this event happened up to a hundred years before the time Jesus. However the Essenes believed their teacher would reincarnate again.

Perhaps we should look more to Mt Karmel and Egypt for an idea of what Jeshua believed and came out of. I have never presumed he was a member of a regular Judean sect. Galilee was even full of Greek settlements at this time as well...This is presuming that Jeshua really existed and I believe that he did. Why? Well apart from the billions that believe the same, there are writings from near the time of Jesus. Notably Josephus, Pliny, some other Roman Historians, the Gospels and the Talmud. Most of this evidence is believed to be in the Vatican Library today.



For every detractor there is always a rebuttal, and how many people can prove that their great great grandmother existed even? I believe Jesus was in India for it appears in his sayings, which are very non dual in some aspects, and betray a more non dual philosophy as that espoused by Essenes and Early Gnostic Christians. Sri Daya Mata, president of Self-Realization Fellowship, went to India in 1959, and in an interview with one of India's great spiritual leaders, His Holiness Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha, the Shankaracharya of Puri, she mentioned that she had been told that Jesus "spent some of his life in India, in association with her illumined sages. His Holiness replied, 'That is true. I have studied ancient records in the Puri Jagannath Temple archives confirming those facts. He was known as "Isha," and during part of his time in India he stayed in the Jagannath Temple. When he returned to his part of the world, he expounded the teachings that are known today as Christianity'"[20]. . . [Excerpts from Mason's book, In Search of the Living God, Chapter 4]. Apart from denying the existence of Jesus it is popular to say he was married to Mary the Magdalene also. In the Nag Hammadi text, some say that in the Gospel of Mary, there is a reference to the same. I see no reference to an actual marriage. There are some references to kissing in the GPhilip but many familie do that. I can accept a Radha-Krishna type of idea but that's all. Many also misinterpret Krishna's relationship with the Gopis/Cowherders and say he was their lover when in fact it was a spiritual relationship. Jesus only owned one piece of woolen clothing and slept wherever he was at night, inside or outside. He was a complete Sannyasin, so marriage seem to be rather unlikely. Jesus it is known did favour Mary the Magdelene but he did also Apostle John. It was probably a favouring of their level of enlightenment rather than anything physical. Mary was the sister of Martha and Lazarus.



So this book will try to put a picture of Jesus that is nearer to the time that he lived in, and closer to what he really may have been. A Jesus existing and teaching, before the incorporation of various myths, into the Christian Religion. This book will only cover the very early years of what is known as Christianity or Messianism, Masiach in Hebrew, Nasorean/Nazarite/Nazorene, Jessean/Essene, but will include other traditions such as India, and mystic writings. This will include the Gnostics, the Gospels, Edgar Cayce Readings, Indian Texts, and evidence of Jesus or Issa in India and Tibet. I will not go into the veracity of names in the Bible etc, as the names don’t matter that much for this work.



Paul's discussion of Christ overcoming death. In Romans 5:12 we read: "Therefore just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death came to all men." 1 Cor. 15:22 adds, "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." The roots of this mystery go back tof the fall of humanity. Professor Gottlieb Klein wrote that by means of the method known as notarikon, which regarded each letter of a word as the initial letter of another word, the three Hebrew letters of the word 'Adam' were interpreted as referring to Adam, David, and the Messiah. In this way Christ will 'correct' Adam's fall. (Adam meaning a whole race of humans.)



The evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls indicates a link with the Essenes, and many of the Gospels are replete with Scroll sayings, even beatitudes. Most of the scrolls were written up to circa 50CE, so the fact that they contain what appear to be extracts from the gospels, such as Mark, shouldn’t be surprising. Whether Jesus referred to His own Essenic teachings or whether they reflect his, it doesn’t matter for the link is proven. Even St Paul has quoted passages in his letters that also appear in the Essenic Dead Sea Scrolls. Jesus was it seems more flexible than many Essenes with regard to the Sabbath and Ascetism, and this may have come from the influence of the Buddhist, ‘Middle Way’. The gospel of Mark was probably written in the first twenty to thirty years after the crucifixion, or even earlier. It is not logical to wait a hundred years to write something down, when the Essenes were obviously accomplished scribes. Nobody mentions the Essenes after the fall of Jerusalem and this is probably because the Essenes became called the Christians. In fact there is no mention of them after 40CE. So it is apparent that they felt that Jesus was their expected spiritual Messiah, and coalesced, in the main, into what we would later call Christians. Jesus would have been known as the ‘Expected One’, and raised in such a fashion. They were expecting a Messiah that would be spiritual not temporal, so Jesus would have fitted that description. His miracles and teaching would have proved that, particularly the raising of Lazarus and of course his own Resurrection. This seems to be the reason for their existence from time immemorial.



It seems that James the brother of Jesus, and perhaps a Nazerite, led the Church or Assembly at Jerusalem after Jesus’s Ascension. James was himself martyred by being thrown from the Temple Tower and stoned to death, at the instigation of Ananas, a Sadducean priest. James’ brother Simeon then took over the Jerusalem Assembly or Church and Peter no doubt followed Paul to Rome, or perhaps was already abroad somewhere.



James is describe by writers as being Ascetic, wearing a linen dress, having long, but manicured hair and beard. He was also a vegetarian and kept to a strict diet, took no alcohol and bathed daily as a Nazerite. The wine mentioned n the gospels is a ‘Must’, or grape juice drunk by the Essenes. The Essenes also rose with the sun and prayed in its direction, not as a God but for what was behind the Sun. This is somewhat similar to the mystery schools of Egypt, supposedly encouraged by Akhenaten. They had their own temples and wouldn’t enter the Temple in Jerusalem as they regarded it as ritually unclean and polluting. This is because of the animal sacrifices and other reasons to do with the occupants presumably. This resonates with Jesus whipping the money changers and sellers of sacrificial animals out of the Temple. Another difference that they had with the Pharisees and Sadducees, is that the Essenes used a solar not lunar calendar, so there were differences in the dates of celebrating holidays. The Essenes, like the early Christians shared property in common, used the greeting, ‘Peace be with you’, and had a sacrificial meal the same as the Last Supper. However there were several groups of Essenes, and there were monastic groups, such as at Qumran and others that lived in the villages and towns and were perhaps not subject to the same rules. For they married had children and businesses and lived normal lives, if somewhat different from their non-Essenic neighbours. Jesus was probably more involved with these Essenes on his mission, and seemed to have a more expansive view, with regard to intermarriage with non Hebrews and non Essenes.



The Essenes were also Kabbalists and prophets. They healed the sick, did social work and foretold the future, and were much into astrology. They also believed in Reincarnation, Baptism, communicating with Angels, and it is not a long bow to see John the Baptist as an Essene. They were also the fastest growing group in Palestine at the time, and their influence extended beyond their own memberships. This no doubt caused resentment amongst the other groups who would have considered them to be rivals.



There is also an echo of the Zoroastrians from Iran. For they baptized, had a meal/mass of wine and bread, and believed that a Saviour would be born of a virgin. They also believed his birth would be foretold by astrology and that he would be visited by three Magi, or Iranian Wisemen. They also didn’t believe in animal sacrifice and they circumcised. Zoroastrianism went back in the mists of time but was revitalized by Zend and his son Zoroastra somewhere as far back as 8,000 B.C.E. They also didn’t hold to idols and had symbolic sacred fires, and the Sun to represent the intelligence behind everything.



There are some interesting myths around this time, that may indicate Rome’s lack of persecution of the Christians at this time. It is rumoured that Pilate’s son was cured of epilepsy by Jesus, which would account for his reluctance to carry out the death penalty demanded by the Temple Priests. Which he was obliged to do under the occupation law, not that Pilate had any problem with killing thousands of people. Also Vespasian was given a reading at the Essenic, Mt Karmel Temple, that he would become the Emperor of Rome. He did so about 69 CE and shortly after, Jerusalem was destroyed. Couple this with the fact that Jesus’s sister Ruth married a high Roman Official, who it seems had the ear of the Emperor, and you have the guarantee of the initial growth of Christianity, and the recall of Pilate to Rome. Of course it ebbed and flowed from the persecutions of Domitian and Nero to the establishment of Constantine.

(These ideas have been given in the Edgar Cayce readings. Which I refer to if they are relevant and coincide.)



The whole idea of a Messiah that the Essenes had goes back to the actual days of Adam or the Adamics. They used a book called the Book of Enoch, which the early Christians also used. In Genesis 6: there is a tale of the fallen angels mixing with the daughters of man, well the same story in Enoch but a little more is told.

No one is sure where the Hebrews came from and it is possible they were local Canaanites who took up the form of Hebrew worship, known in that area. The Bible and other stories were probably kept by a small band of mystics within that culture and others as well. For logically a nomadic people would have little use for writing and books; most of their history would be oral. So, as in all cases of religion we have a constructed format with borrowing from all the the ancient stories and legends, with the truth carried within all this. A truth taught by mystics for they were the only ones who meditated.

BOOK OF ENOCH

From-The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament
R.H. Charles
Oxford: The Clarendon Press

[Chapter 6]

1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.' And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5 not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then swear they all together and bound themselves 6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn 7 and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens.

[Chapter 7]

1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

[Chapter 8]

1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all 2 colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they 3 were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .

[Chapter 9]

1 And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being 2 shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. And they said one to another: 'The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their cryingst up to the gates of heaven. 3 And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying, "Bring our cause 4 before the Most High."' And they said to the Lord of the ages: 'Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, and God of the ages, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the 5 ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages! Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all 6 things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee. Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which 7 men were striving to learn: And Semjaza, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the 9 women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have 10 borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are 11 wrought on the earth. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.

This was a distortion of the plan for Adam or the Adamics had descended to correct the course of development on the planet. For there were many different forms of Man on the earth at that time, and all going in a distorted non spiritual direction.

There is a similar story in the Hindu scriptures:

The Bhagavata Purana, (Book III&IV), about the descent of the Kumaras or Angel Princes.

Now it seems the first Kumaras, or Divine Descents, were so spiritual that they didn't get involved in creation. They just sat around meditating, in order to achieve Moksha, or Liberation, (Kingdom of Heaven). So it was necessary for the Blue- Red Kumaras, Rudra Kumaras, to descend and procreate children. Otherwise there would be no human bodies for the mixtures to reincarnate into. This was the process or plan of eliminating the mixture people. There is also a chapter where Brahma is regarded as incestuous so he divides himself. The Kumaras; Bhagavata Purana, Skanda 3, 7:20, Skanda 4, 1, Skanda 3, 11:12 Skanda 3, 5:3:12. ) This is similar to the formation of Eve from Adam’s energy, or rather Adams and Eves. For prior to this the human was both male and female in one.




The First Book of Moses: Called Genesis
Chapter 6

6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
