Ancient Mystery Knowledge:
Man demands a beginning and a boundary,
so in the beginning there was
a sea of spirit and it filled all space.
It was static - content - aware of itself -
a giant resting on the bosom of its thought -
contemplating that which was.
Then it moved.
It withdrew into itself until all space was empty.
That which had filled the empty was shining
from its center, a restless, seething mind.
This was the Individual of the Spirit.
This was what it discovered itself
to be when it awakened.
This was God.
God desired to express Himself
and He desired companionship,
therefore, He projected
from Himself the cosmos and souls.
The cosmos was built
with the tools which man call
SYSTEM - MUSIC,
ARITHMETIC - GEOMETRY,
BALANCE - HARMONY.
The building blocks were all
of the same material
which man calls life-essence.
It was a power sent out from God,
a primary ray, as man thinks of it,
which by changing the length
of its wave and the rate
of its vibration became
a pattern of differing forms -
substance and movement.
This created the law of diversity,
which supplied endless designs
for the pattern.
In modern-day experiments,
a sound vibration has been shown
to cause fine sand particles
on a flat surface to dance together
for a few seconds
and then suddenly,
"in the twinkling of an eye,"
change into a complex symmetrical
pattern like a snowflake.
As the sound changes
to another note, the sand dances
and changes into a more complex
"snowflake" pattern, resembling
the breathtakingly precise
patterns of Crop Circles.
God played on this law of diversity,
as one plays on a piano,
producing melodies
and arranging them in a symphony.
Each design carried within it
the plan of its evolution
which is to be accomplished
by movement, growth and change.
This corresponds to the sound
of a note struck on a piano.
The sounds of several notes
unite to make a chord.
Chords, in turn, becomes phrases.
Phrases become melodies.
Melodies intermingle
and move back and forth,
across and between,
to make a symphony.
The music ends as it began,
leaving emptiness,
but between the beginning
and the finale',
there has been glorious beauty
and the great experience.
In building the soul,
there was "spirit"
with its knowledge
of identity with God.
There was the active principal
of mind and there was the ability
to experience activity of mind
separately from God.
Thus a new Individual issuing from
and dependent upon God,
but aware of its existence
apart from God, came into being.
To the new Individual,
there was given, necessarily,
the power to choose
and direct its own activity.
Without Free Will, it would remain
a part of the individuality of God.
Its mind,
issuing as a force from God,
naturally would fulfill His thoughts
unless directed otherwise.
The power to do this,
to direct otherwise,
the force of mind - is Free Will.
The record of the Free Will
is the Soul.
The Soul began with
the first expression
which Free Will made of its power,
through the force of mind,
the first thought
which it generated of itself.
The first diversion of mind force
from its normal path
was the beginning of Soul.
The nucleus of the Soul
was in balance,
positive and negative
force in equal power
producing harmonious activity.
The positive (male)
irradiating, impregnating;
the negative (female),
receiving, nourishing.
The steps of this action
were the stages of thought:
perception, reflection and opinion.
The Soul consisted of two stages
of consciousness: that of the Spirit
bearing a knowledge
of its identity with God,
and that of the new Individual
bearing knowledge
of everything it experienced.
The plan for Soul was a cycle
of experience unlimited in scope
and duration in which the new
Individual would come to know
creation in all its aspects
at the discretion of will.
The cycle would be completed
when the desire of will was
no longer different than
the thought of God.
The consciousness of the new
Individual would merge
with its spiritual consciousness
of Identity with God.
And the Soul would return to
its Source as the Companion
it was intended to be.
In this state the Soul
would regain its consciousness of
a separate individuality and would
be aware of its own Free Will.
It now acted as a part of God,
not diverting mind force,
because it was in agreement with
the action toward which
this force was directed.
Until this state was reached,
the Soul would not be a Companion
in the true sense of the word.
The idea that a return to God
means a loss of individuality
is paradoxical since God is aware
of everything that happens
and therefore aware of
the consciousness
of each Individual.
Thus the return of the Soul
is the return of the image
to that which imagined it
and the consciousness
of an Individual.
Its record, written in mind,
could not be destroyed without
destroying a part of God Himself.
Thus, when a Soul returns to God,
it becomes aware of itself,
not only as a part of God,
but as a part of every other soul
and everything
("Mitakuye Oyasin" - We are all related).
What is lost is the EGO -
the desire to do other than the will of God.
When the Soul returns to God,
the ego is voluntarily relinquished.
This is the symbology of the crucifixion.
The plan for the Soul included
experience of all creation.
It did not mean identification with
and participation in
all forms and substance.
It did not mean interference
in creation by Souls.
It did not mean that they could
spin their own little worlds,
twisting and bending laws
to make images of their dreams,
but these things "could" happen.
The Soul was the greatest creation.
It had Free Will.
God did not try to limit it.
If God created us with Free Will,
the opposite of God is "CONTROL"-
man trying to control woman
through anger and jealousy,
woman trying to control man
through tricks and deception,
child trying to control parents,
by whining and playing
parent against parent,
a company trying to control
the public to buy their product,
a government trying to control
every aspect of the lives of those
who live within their boundaries
and to destroy those
who live on the outside
and even sometimes,
their own citizens on the inside!
The Soul had to act within God.
By whatever route,
it had to return to Him
(Father God / Mother Creator).
The fact that man's body
is a speck of dust on a small planet
leads to the illusion
that man himself is a small creation.
The measure of the Soul
is the limitless activity of mind
and grandeur of imagination.
At first, there was little difference
between the consciousness
of the new Individual and its
consciousness of identity with God.
Free Will merely watched
the flow of mind,
somewhat as man daydreams.
Free Will began to exercise itself.
Imitating the mind,
it grew in wisdom and beauty.
Certain Souls became bemused
with their own power
and began to experiment with it.
They mingled with
the dust of the stars
and the winds of the spheres,
becoming a part of them.
Thus began
the imbalance in the creations.
It led to the Fall in Spirit
of the eventual Revolt of Angels.
To move into a portion of creation
and become part of it,
a Soul had to assume
a third aspect of consciousness,
a method of experiencing a portion
of creation and translating it
into basic substance of mind,
by means of thought.
Man refers to this aspect
of awareness as
his Conscious Mind.
It is the device by which
he experiences Earth.
This is the virtue by which
conscience knows and experiences
right and wrong,
The Tree of Knowing Good and Evil.
The Ancient Mysteries were concerned
with man's problem of FREEING
the soul-spirit from the world.
In the mystery symbologies,
the Earth was always represented
as the underworld and the soul-spirit
was lost in this underworld until freed
from it by wisdom, faith and understanding.
It was taught that Persephone was abducted
by Pluto, Lord of Hades.
Persephone is the soul-spirit of man,
whose true home is in the heavens.
The mystery religions were then
a preparation for the arrival of Jesus.
He would be the fruit of their efforts
and his message to be a fuller revelation
to the people there in that region
of these mysteries.
The Essenes, the ones who prepared Mary,
selected Joseph and taught Jesus,
were initiates of the mysteries.
Jesus told them he came to fulfill the law
and part of that law was the CABALA,
the secret doctrine of the Jews,
their version of the mysteries.
Those who became converts to Jesus' teachings,
such as Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea,
as well as Paul,were all learned in the Cabala.
In the scramble which Christianity made
to establish itself as the dominant
religion of the decaying Roman Empire,
the mysteries were denied
their proper place, since to grant
that they had truth in them
would justify their further existence.
Early Christians used every means possible
to conceal the pagan origin
of their symbols, doctrines and rituals.
They destroyed the sacred texts of others
among whom they settled or made sacred texts
inaccessible to students of comparitive philosophy,
believing that they could stamp out all regard
of pre-Christian (pagan) origins of their doctrines.
In the beginning of human time,
everyone had the sweatlodge
and basic purification ceremonies,
which today are only seen in the Norwegians
who still use the sauna,
but without the spiritual ceremony.
The Germans are very fascinated in
Native American sweatlodge ceremonies
because they know this was once part of
their ancient purification ceremonies.
Behold, there are Six Things our Father god Creator of All
has displeasures about in men and women:
Haughty EYES,
a lying TONGUE,
HANDS that shed innocent blood,
a HEART that devises wicked schemes,
FEET that are quick to rush into Evil,
a FALSE witness who pours out lies.
You cannot make men good by laws.
You must creat a WORLD COMPASSION MORALITY
inside of men.
There are Three distinct LEVELS to consider in morality:
The Relations between man and man,
Things inside each man,
The Relations between man and the Power that created man.
When man or woman made moral choices,
Two Things are involved:
One is the Act of Choosing.
The Second is the various Feelings, the Thoughts,
the Life Influences, the RAW MATERIAL of CHOICE.
The Raw Material may be of Two Kinds:
Normal to the understandings of all men, all women,
or it may consist of un-natural feelings,
due to whatever may have gone wrong in the subconscious:
Fears, Rejections, wanting to be accepted by Peers.
The FREE CHOICE of men or women
on the Raw Material presented
makes the choice to either put decision of choice
to advantage first or put it last.
Their Free Choice is whatmorality is concerned with
in decisions made by men and women.
Father God Creator of All does not judge man or woman
on the Raw Material,
but judges on what man or woman has done with it.
Your choices should be in Harmony with Creator,
not with what men desire in women
or what women desire in a man.
Do we submit ourselves to others to do
as they desire to us to be accepted?
When we do that, we are then judged by those
who forced us to submit to them.
Each person must submit equally to each other.
Those who make the other submit to acts
are the diabolical self.
Those who believe they must submit to men
are victims of the Evil One,
beguiled by your own vanities by the Evil One.
Thus, one after another, in attempts to be accepted,
man or woman becomes victim day after day.
There are Virtues: The Cardinal and Theological:
The Cardinal are Prudence, Temperance,
Justice and Fortitude.
The Theological are Faith, Hope Cahrity, Chastity.
Prudence means practical common sense,
taking time out in life to think out what you are doing
and what is likely to come of your decision
of whatever you decided.
Many who call themselves Christians believe that,
provided you are good, it does not matter being a fool.
That is a misunderstanding prevalent.
TEMPERANCE means moderation in all things.
JUSTICE means absolute fairness in everything,
including honesty of truthfulness, keeping promises.
FORTITUDE means courage, for none of the virtues
would amount to much without fortitude.
