"WHEN THE WORLD IS STORM-DRIVEN & THE BAD THAT HAPPENS AND THE WORSE THAT THREATENS ARE SO URGENT AS TO SHUT OUT EVERYTHING ELSE FROM VIEW, THEN WE NEED TO KNOW ALL THE STRONG FORTRESSES OF SPIRIT WHICH HAVE BEEN BUILT THROUGH THE AGES." Edith Hamilton, THE GREEK WAY
How do we begin to unravel all the intricacies of the paranormal, and then incorporate them into a cohesive whole in order to form a true & good philosophy? Some would say: WHY BOTHER TRYING? While others: HOW CAN YOU DARE TO BE SO PRESUMPTUOUS AS TO EVEN THINK YOU CAN ARRIVE AT SUCH A MAJESTIC POINT OF KNOWLEDGE? And it is true that we have many different religions, each with their own cherished "truth!"
The one tentative conclusion I did come to BEFORE I began to pen this manuscript back in 1996-was to-LOOK UP! What? Yes, it's that simple!!!
There was a book written by Michio Kaku, called HYPERSPACE, which attempted to grapple with the 'unified field theory,' the same theory that a supreme mind like Albert Einstein seemingly came up 'a bit short' in putting together. What Kaku did was simply RAISE HIS SIGHTS: Things that appeared contradictory on one level could be resolved AT A HIGHER LEVEL! That's the approach Kaku used to "grapple with" the SUPERSTRING THEORY.
SO I SAID TO MYSELF: WHY COULDN'T "HIGHER SPIRITUALITY" be the superstring theory of all religions~ that included in their mix, both the mysteries incorporated in the UFO enigma, as well as the frequencies & dimensions of the rest of the paranormal grab-bag???
IT IS SIMPLE AS WELL AS ELEGANT ~ AND FIRST PUT TOGETHER A LONG LONG TIME AGO BY THE GNOSTIC SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT IN VARYING WAYS....ALL I HAVE DONE WAS PUT THE SO-CALLED CURRENT PIECES TOGETHER THAT REFLECT THIS CORE GROUP OF SUBLIME IDEAS!
SO WHAT IS THE "SUPERSTRING THEORY" OF THE IDEAS THAT WERE RECOUNTED BEFORE ABOUT THE ANUNNAKI AND THE ORIGIN OF MAN?
It seems to me that EVEN this story must be seen from a higher perspective. WHY? Simply because the former story or myth or kernal of truth simply deals with the creation of the body (OR SHELL) but does not address either the etheric body of man (the soul) or the spirit of man WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRST TWO!?!
PERHAPS - we must look at a deeper - more penetrating level - at another type of EARTH CHRONICLES, that paints a wider view of MAN, not only in relation to his physical genesis, but more importantly, HIS SPIRITUAL ROOT. In 'The Apocryphon of John,' there IS such a story. It goes like this:
"...and all the angels and demons worked until they had constructed the natural body(Adam). And their product was completely inactive and motionless for a long time.
"And when the mother wanted to retrieve the power which she had given to the chief archon, she petitioned the Mother-Father of the All who is most merciful. He sent, by means of the holy decree, the five lights down upon the place of the angels of the chief archons. They advised him that they should bring forth the power of the mother. And they said to Yaltabaoth, 'Blow into his face something of your spirit and his body will arise.' And he blew into his face the power of his mother; he did not know (this) because he exists in ignorance. And the power of the mother went out of Yaltabaoth into the natural body which they had fashioned after the image of the one who exists from the beginning. The body moved and gained strength and it was luminious.
"And in that moment the rest of the powers became jealous, because he had come into being through all of them and they had given their power to the man, AND HIS INTELLIGENCE WAS GREATER THAN THAT OF THOSE WHO HAD MADE HIM, AND GREATER THAN THAT OF THE CHIEF ARCHON.{{MY ITALICS}} And when they recognized that he was luminous, and that he could think better than they, and that he was free of wickedness, they took him and threw him into the lowest region of all matter."{{1}}
What this most interesting tractate is relating to us is perhaps unbeknownst to those so-called superior beings who were responsible for the physical creation of the ADAM, that there was, for want of a better term, a "DIVINE SPARK" that entered the ADAM (THE LOGOS LIGHT).
The creator saw now the ADAM was more intelligent than they, and in fact, superior. At last we may begin to see a possible reason for the hatred that ensued between these so-called gods and poor homo sapiens. [cf. "THE END OF ALL FLESH," a chapter from THE 12TH PLANET for a possible lower link to the allegory presented in the gnostic myth, where the 'god' ENLIL wishes to destroy humanity for his own reasons, which may be a Sumerian reflection of what found its way into our present~day bibles....]
As a side note, I find it interesting that the god of the OLD TESTAMENT refers to himself as a "jealous" god whereas the GOD of the NAG HAMMADI is referred to by the author of 'The Gospel of Truth' as a father (who) is not jealous. So who is the real god and why in the world would the GOD OF ALL & EVERYTHING be jealous about anything?!?
If we were to look at the above from as high a vantage point as possible, one could make the philosophical proposition that this above related information was the ULTIMATE FORM OF COMMUNICATION ~ i.e. THE GOOD NEWS of Jesus from his & our FATHER ~ "ABBA!" This gnostic tractate, 'The Apocryphon of John'- which means a secret writing...as part of the "TREASURE CHEST" found in 1945, at NAG HAMMADI, in Egypt, could possibly be THE 'SUPERSTRING of SPIRITUALITY'....[In the first commentary I ever read about the gnostics, THE GNOSTIC RELIGION by Hans Jonas, I remember distinctly his stating that these writings were NOT a religion, but a sublime group of ideas. JUST HOW SUBLIME MAY DEPEND ON JUST HOW SERIOUS WE TAKE THEIR CONTENT!]
The focus of this manuscript was & is to explore the different forms of communication, from sources above & beyond our normal five senses. I perceived 'clear' evidence that at least one being ~ ANASTASIA ~ was, & is still communicating with me, regardless of how subtle. Synchronicity seems to be one, but not necessarily the only means of relaying messages FROM BEYOND. In the popular fictional work, THE CELESTINE PROPHECY, James Redfield's first insight dealt with the subject of SYNCHRONICITY! There were 10 'insights' and the spiritual manuscript that was trying to be retrieved in Peru, was deemed very dangerous & worthy of being confiscated by the Peruvian Government.
IS ART MIRRORING LIFE? Is it just coincidence that I started my 'voyage' into the sea of the paranormal at the same time I seriously decided to study THE NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY, having at least on average about seventy synchronisms EACH YEAR from that point on, starting around 1993 to the very present? Could there be anything in THE NAG HAMMADI that could be construed as DANGEROUS by any of the power-mongers of the kingdom of man?
According to this group of books, (tractates, 52 in all), part of the books reflected a LIBERATOR (sometimes called Jesus, sometimes by other names), who came to this ORB from above, from his father, ABBA, who IS NOT the god of the OLD TESTAMNET of the Bible. The gnostic lower god was named Yaltabaoth ('The Apocryphon of John') and he was described as a 'LION-FACED SERPENT' or misbegotten being, who was quite arrogant in thinking himself the god of all & everything when he was not. Also, there was no love in his heart. [Is there then a relationship between Yaltabaoth & Jehovah, the god of the OLD TESTAMNET, based on the gnostic allegory as stated in more than one tractate in THE NAG HAMMADI?!?] I have surmised that the answer seems to be "YES!"
Now Jesus (THE LOGOS) came to correct a 'deficiency' brought about somehow by the lower SOPHIA, which had been presented in various ways, depending on the particular tractate. [If we were to use KAKU'S type of reasoning, these seemingly contradictory stories, much like the details in THE NEW TESTAMENT at variance with one another, could speak to a HIGHER reality being communicated to a lower reality (where we unfortunately reside.)
In any event, Jesus gradually alerted his closest disciples (those who were of THE TRUTH & loved UNCONDITIONALLY) ~ to the true state of affairs, and alerted them to the identites of the RULERS of this world. One tractate in particular, 'The Second Treatise of the Great Seth,' called the patriarchs like Adam, Abraham, David, Soloman, Moses & even John the Baptist as "LAUGHINGSTOCKS"! [This seems harsh until you understand the nature of ignorance we are under in this world; again, 'The Testimony of Truth' tractate spells out exactly why the term LAUGHINGSTOCK is being applied to these otherwise good men, who for the most part could be described as 'LOYAL SERVANTS.' |  |

At this point one may & should rightfully ask: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? The answer may be a profound one, and may be best demonstrated by ACTUALLY QUOTING from 'The Testimony of Truth' as mentioned before. It clearly states the following, without mincing words:
But the Son of Man [came] forth from imperishability, [being] alien to defilement. He came [to the] world by the Jordan river, and immediately the Jordan [turned] back. And John bore witness to the [descent] of Jesus. For it was he who saw the [power] which came down from the Jordan river; for he knew that the dominion of carnal procreation had come to an end. The Jordan river is the power of the body, that is, the senses of pleasures. The water of the Jordan is the desire for sexual intercourse. John is the archon of the womb.
"And this is what the Son of Man reveals to us: It is fitting for you (pl.) to receive the word of truth. If one will receive it perfectly,-. But as for one who is [in] ignorance, it is difficult for him to diminish his works of [darkness] which he has done. Those who have [known] imperishability [however], have been able to struggle against [passions...] I have said [to you], "Do not build [nor] gather for yourselves in the [place] where the brigands break open, but bring forth fruit to the Father."
Is it any surprise then that the other John, John the Divine and the one 'loved' by Jesus, the one responsible for the fourth gospel in the New Testament, opens his gospel at the Jordan river? Apparently, the "turning back" of the Jordan ushered in THE TRUTH ~ an event so EARTH-SHAKING, that even the Rulers (ARCHONS) stood up & took notice!!!
If one begins to meditate on this staggering COMMUNIQUE FROM BEYOND, a picture of what we may all be involved with (if we are honest with one another)~ becomes fairly evident: We, as human beings, are composed of body-soul-spirit...The Rulers, and by extention, the 'Authorities' of this world that infest our governments & churches are extremely JEALOUS & POSSESSIVE of their [temporary] property (our bodies & souls); they seemingly have temporary power over BOTH body & soul. making the researcher of the early part of the twentieth century, one, Charles Fort, PARTIALLY correct....
BUT JESUS ~ AS THE LOGOS (WORD) ~ came to EMPOWER the spirit of MAN, to FREE ITSELF - presently encased in a soul, which itself is imprisoned in the body-shell!
A GREAT ESCAPE IS NECESSARY!!!
Earlier on, I quoted 'The Gospel of Thomas' that strongly suggested that once you come to KNOW YOURSELVES ~ YOU WILL BE KNOWN! May we also speculate that 'The Testimony of Truth' tractate is stating as clearly as it can, that we will remain imprisoned by the Rulers & Authorities until we are willing to give back ALL THAT WE WERE GIVEN BY THE CREATOR GOD...INCLUDING THE BOND OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE!
As mentioned in'The Gospel of Thomas' that first we would be "DISTURBED" before we would be AMAZED; the revelation in 'The Testimony of Truth' indeed would be very disturbing...but may it not also be the jagged piece...the last penny Jesus alluded to in MATTHEW, Chapter 5, v.26? It may take on an entirely different nuance ~ ESPECIALLY in light of the John the Baptist revelation quoted above. Could then, this story, as reflected in just the above three tractates, be a MORE PROFOUND VERSION of "The Greatest Stroy Ever Told"???
The last item about THE NAG HAMMADI that I would like to mention is the 37th saying of 'The Gospel of Thomas' - in which there are 114 altogether. [The disciples are inquiring as to when they will see Jesus again. It relates:
"When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then [will you see] the son of this living one, and you will not be afraid." {{i.e. TRADE IN THE THINGS OF THE BODY-SHELL for THE THINGS OF THE HIGHER SPIRITUAL THINGS, AND YOU WILL FINALLY FIND YOUR PEACE, AND THE ARCHON RULERS & THEIR MINIONS WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY POWER OVER YOU!}} Then, as in a real fairy tale, you will live happily ever after!!!
Now, let us return to the STRUGGLES of THIRD DIMENSIONAL DENSITY: THE EARTH, UP CLOSE & PERSONAL....
There is a battle going on, and it looks like WE are the BATTLEFIELD. Could this explain the unbelievable struggles that Dr. Karla Turner graphically detailed in her books before she died a premature death??? Karla (one of the most insightful abductees I had ever researched,) may have actually identified some of these "forms" vying for perhaps - our very souls.
In her paperback, INTO THE FRINGE, Dr. Turner makes the astounding statement that a tall insect-like being stood next to her in one of her early childhood dreams, held Karla's hand, and told her that the insect-like being was HER MOTHER!?! Later, in 1980, in something that Karla could only identify as a 'genuine vision,' Karla saw four five foot tall shadowy figures that seemed gray & featureless (two male & two female,) who greeted her warmly and told her that they were HER ANCESTORS! Karla ended this revealing scenario by stating that she carried all of THEIR memories in her body." {{2}}
Later on she would identify, speaking through the experience of her son David, one group of aliens as "interdimensional" and benevolent toward human beings. But this same benevolent being told David that there were other beings who weren't interdimensional, and cared nothing about our human feelings & rights.{{3}}
If this is not upsetting enough, if true, in a more distubing book, MASQUERADE OF ANGLES, these malevolent-type beings turn out to be LIZARD-LIKE and apparently have some method of CONTROLLING OUR SOULS - at least temporarily.
I am convinced that there is something sinister about these beings. I personally have interviewed an alleged abductee on Long Island in the early nineties, who told me, when I showed her a particular picture of a LIZARD-LIKE being, that that was what she remembered during her 'alien abduction' experience. As I had related before, Linda Howe has connected REPTILE-LIKE beings to both alien abductions as well as the cattle mutilation phenomenon, as reflected in both the RON & PAULA story & the JUDY/CINDY Doherty interviews. AND LEST WE FORGET, what about the references in both the BIBLE & NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY?
In the last book of the Christian Bible, THE APOCALYPSE [THE BOOK OF REVELATION,] in Chapter 12, vs.7-9, it states very clearly the beings who presently inhabit some part of our earth (perhaps on another frequency &/or dimension):
"And there was a battle in heaven; Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon fought Michael and his angels. And they did not prevail, neither was their place found anymore in heaven. And that great dragon, was cast down, THE ANCIENT SERPENT, [my italics] he who is called the devil and SATAN, who leads astray the whole world; and he was cast down to the earth and with him his angels were cast down."
Now the chief archon in 'The Apocryphon of John' was described as a 'LION-FACED SERPENT': his eyes were like lightning fires which flash. But Yaltabaoth had a multitude of faces [A SHAPE-SHIFTER?] more than all of them (referring to the beings that Yaltabaoth created,) so that he could put a face before all of them, according to his desire.
The question before any inquiring mind is a simple one: Is there or is there not a connection between the human alien abduction phenomenon and the source of that phenomenon as being identified through our sacred texts of varied religions, leaving us with the astounding proposition that the source of the mysteries we see about us TODAY-IN THE ABDUCTION PHENOMENON-may, in fact, be obliquely reflected in our very concepts of religion, yet better comprehended in the sacred (NON-CANONICAL) literature, especially, but not limited to the gnostic writings as reflected in THE NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY?
I refer again to 'The Gospel of Thomas' where Jesus said that at first we would be DISTURBED and then we would be AMAZED. Could a part of this disturbance be what the late Dr. Karla Turner was alerting us to in her books: The possibility that there really are powerful forces all around us that can both help us & harm us, and her family's battle with these opposing forces is an example of what we were told by the Gnostic writers as to the REALITY OF THE SITUATION???
It may be enlightening to read yet another tractate that focuses specifically on this subject: 'The Hypostasis of the Archons" [THE REALITY OF THE RULERS]; if one reads not even between the lines, one may perceive that there may be a definite link between what it says in this sacred text, and what many a sincere soul (albeit ridiculed by ignorant people who do not know any better)~ who are presently being "tortured" vis-a-vis the ALIEN ABDUCTION PHENOMENON...these very beings who were understood ages ago!!! |

In his insightful ufo-type book, ALIEN IDENTITIES, Richard Thompson identifies at least three different types of UFOs in the Vedic literature, that actually included both a "subtle" & "transcendental" type.{{4}} THERE WAS ALSO MENTIONED A REPTILE-LIKE BEING IN THIS LITEREATURE, (REFLECTING A PERIOD, THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD.) This being was called a "RAKSASAS." They were described as "roughly human in form with huge stature, great muscular strength, and frightening facial features, including prominent teeth and pointed ears."{{5}}
It should also be noted that a RAKSASAS woman mentioned in one of the Vedic texts, the "Mahabbharata," had the ability to "assume the illusory form of a beautiful woman."{{6}}It seems like, based on these 'other-culture' references, that Yaltabaoth was not the only 'SHAPE-SHIFTER' in the known or unknown universe, which according to Thompson, may have up to 400,000 humanoid races.{{7}} This 'shape-shifting' type must not have gone away, since it was encountered by a woman named Karen, in TODAY'S world, as noted in the following conversation as Karen related it to David Jacobs:
"There's a lot to be afraid of and you had better stop doing this to me." And he says, "Don't resist, there's no point in resisting." And I say, "Yes, there's every point in resisting. I don't believe you. I don't trust you. I know that nothing you say is true." And then I say something I've forgotten. All those years I've forgotten about it, and I say, "You're a shape-shifter. You can take any shape that you want, and you can make us think you're anything that we want to believe that you are, but I know what you are." And then he sort of shrugs and takes his hand away. He's indifferent really. But when I said he was a shape-shifter he looked puzzled, and then when I sort of explained what it was, there was just sort of a flash of recognition."{{8}}
In Celtic mythology, Maelduin, the hero who who embarks on his mystical voyage (immram), faces many obstacles on his path to ENLIGHTENMENT while traveling with his companions in a boat called a curragh. On the "ISLAND OF THE REVOLVING BEAST," they viewed a giant beast that could revolve its bones within its loose skin. Another type of 'SHAPE-SHIFTER?'{{9}} Since the story of Maelduin's voyage was meant as spiritual symbolism, I offer a possible meaning regarding this 'confrontation': to attain spiritual enlightenment, it is necessary to be tested in order to discern the true state of things...and what better way to test this discernment, then to confront a SHAPE-SHIFTER....PERHAPS, THAT'S WHY "KAREN" ABOVE SAID: "Yes, there's every point in resisting."
The truth seems so elusive that I wonder if I could get a small number of people who have not been exposed to the reality of the concept of REINCARNATION, or never gave it serious thought, to entertain it as a necessary TRUTH? Did you know that there was a relatively small paperback written by Joe Fisher that actually makes a VERY GOOD group of arguments for its truth?!?
ITS NAME: A CASE FOR REINCARNATION...that goes into sticky details like how a murderous emperor named CONSTANTINE back in the 4th century of the present era, actually dictated to the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH what would or would not be included in its official teachings. REINCARNATION WAS TOSSED OUT, even though a prestigeous Father of the Church, Origin, had indicated that it was part of the truth. Two centuries later, the Emperor, Justinian sealed the fate of this truth as being dismissed.
Then there is the incredible story of Mary Sutton, who having died around 1930, was "reincarnated" ostensibly in the 1950s as Jenny Cockell, who later had her remaining children (still alive as the kids of Mary) and now older than their "present" mother, VERIFY that Jenny - who knew the intimate details of the five remaining children, as well as Mary, WAS, IN FACT, THEIR MOTHER-come back again!!!
Of course, as Mr. Fisher points out in his book, one of the reasons that we "forget," is because of OXYTOCIN. "OXY-WHO???"
Apparently, the female body contains this hormone which is released during the birthing process. So what? So, it is like going through "THE RIVER OF FORGETFULNESS" which is incidentally spoken of not only in the Greek & Roman myths, but also in the sacred literature, such as "PISTIS SOPHIA." Scientists experimented, according to Fisher, with laboratory animals. Whatever the animals learned, after getting doses of oxytocin, THEY FORGOT!{{10}}
Perhaps it is a blessing "to forget;" if we were assigned (or even assign ourselves) a mission this lifetime, it may be both kind & practical to FORGET all the possible disturbing details of previous encounters with physical density....If this "mission" is successful, then real progress ensues ~ similar, possibly to a simple BUD becoming an enriched BLOSSOM!!!
This blossoming process may also have something to do with finding THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE! When I found out about the down-right deceptions of the Internal Revenue Service, for instance, which to my mind ~ sabotaged the nobility of our Constitution & Bill of Rights, I resisted it - similar to the way Karen in David Jacobs' book, SECRET LIFE, resisted what she thought was the unrightful taking of herself buy her alien abductor. SHE WAS A VICTIM....I AM A VICTIM...and in a larger sense, we are all being victimized by deceptions & outright EVIL - at all levels on this darkened ORB!!!
Since EVIL surely exists in the world,(the HOLOCAUST of WW II as being just one "fruit" of its nature as dramatically reflected in the movie: "SCHINDLER'S LIST,") as something real, like the effect of electricity which you cannot see - BUT CERTAINLY FEEL, or the effect of cancer, which you also cannot see - until, perhaps, IT IS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, then it seems plausible to me, that we do something to irradicate it, like a farmer would think nothing of irradicating weeds, for instance. BUT WE MUST ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND, THAT IT IS NOT PEOPLE, PER SE, THAT IS THE REAL ENEMY, BUT RATHER "IGNORANCE" ITSELF!!! Irradicate ignorance, and people may change for THE GOOD!!! The choice must always remain with the individual TO CHOOSE THE GOOD BECAUSE OF FREE WILL. This concept is made very clear in both THE NAG HAMMADI material as well as THE BHAGAVAD GITA, (the BIBLE for Mahatma Ghandi,) the pascifist who successfull RESISTED the tyranny of the British Government in the first half of the 20th century.
If POWER CORRUPTS and ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY, then we should all be concerned at the prospect of a NEW WORLD ORDER - a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT that is slowly wrapping its boa-like grip around its prey: ALL OF US!!!
SO WHAT CAN WE DO? Well - look what the Jews did before the dawn of WW II: they captitulated, trusting that the appetite of the preditor would be satiated. IT WASN'T! But it was not the Jews only, but anyone who did not "suit" the manaical blood-line madness of very bigoted IGNORANCE, pure & simple.
Has this EVIL been irradicated? NO!
When I saw the real roots of the AIDS disease, I started to become concerned. The fact that it was indeed an ARTIFICIALLY DESIGNED bio-teror weapon used against the "usleless eaters" of the world seemed inescapable. I first saw the evidence in George Andrews' book, EXTRATERRESTRAIL FRIENDS & FOES, and later in an underground documentary about Dr. Robert Strecker & Dr. Lorraine Day. The information was very disturbing: Strecker, in particular, who actually worked at the Center for Disease Control (CDC), stated in the documentary that the AIDS virus was deliberately artifically manufactured as a combination of bovine & visna viruses, which would attack the T-4 immune cells; furthermore, they initally were introduced (via the smallpox vaccine, and given to unsuspecting black people in Africa in the late 1970s. He suggested that this would be an effective way to "wipeout" a whole population on a continent within perhaps - twenty years or less! speaking around 1989, if I recall. (So far, Africa is being decimated by this virus as I write.)
One may intellectually debate the why's & wherefore's of the coming PLAGUE. (Perhaps, the AIDS virus is just the first attempt in a wave of bio-terrorism, to rid the earth of "useless-eaters" [?]) No matter what form the coming plague takes, it would appear to "men of good will" that it is antichristic in its very nature, whether we use the expression "ANTICHRIST" or not. Perhaps the "RAPTURE" phenomenon may be correct, afterall, where "THE GOOD ONES" of the Earth will be "TAKEN" so that EVIL ITSELF will be allowed to act as the "necessary fertilizer" to better discern the "sheep" from the "goats." It certainly is shaping up that way as I review the world scene in 2002.
The day may come when THE JEWS themselves may replace those who had been "TAKEN." If the gnostic writers are correct,then there is a higher God, A TRANSMUNDANE GOD, a God of unconditional love & mercy who wants all his children to be like Him. [I intuit then that how this will come about is when God's children awaken & realize that fighting one another will ONLY BE FOR THOSE who have rejected LOVE, and opt for hatred & violence & endless killing until, as in a feud, NONE REMAIN!!! The real children of God will resist evil WHILE loving their enemies, sloughing off the ignorance that they had been in heretofore. AT THIS POINT, THERE WILL BE AN AGE OF PEACE!]
BUT IT IS NOT SOLELY BASED ON INTUITION: If we are to take the words of THE NAG HAMMADI seriously, we should reflect, in particular, the words from 'The Dialogue of the Savior.' In this tractate it is stated,"...whoever will not understand how he came will not understand how he will go, and he is no stranger to this cosmos which will be humiliated."
The implication is again clear: The creator god who was himself misbegotten, with no love in him, as was indicated in verse 73 of this same-above DIALOGUE, will be eventually unmasked by the Jews, who themselves will replace those who were taken, as suggested before. There will be much suffering before the end [of the age], but, at last, the prophecy will come to pass: AND THE LION (THE JEWS) WILL LIE DOWN WITH THE LAMB (THE LOGOS). When all these things come to pass, "Every tear will be wiped away." (Rev:21,v.4)
In chapter 15 of The Gospel of John, found within the NEW TESTAMENT, Jesus no longer calls his disciples servants, but rather friends, and by implication, a friend is like a brother.... So also, 'The Gospel of Thomas' although a non-canonical work, reflects the same sentiment, that by walking in the footsteps of Jesus, we mirror his image, and become likened to him. According to the "PISTIS SOPHIA" (another gnostic text, not found within THE NAG HAMMADI material, once we attain this status, and become as Jesus would have us ~ UNCONDITIONAL LOVERS ~ which will entitle us to the "Twelve in one" mysteries, that include RAISING THE DEAD. This process may, in fact, take many lifetimes, hence the necessity of REINCARNATION.]
Once we become GREAT LOVERS, our real journey (OUR REAL DESTINY) is just beginning. At this point we become CO-CREATORS, and carry the banner of the LOGOS-LIGHT to yet other portals of existence...TO OTHER SHEEP WHO ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD!
We then will understand ourselves within, so we will be known from without. At this point, our bud will blossom, and there will be the dawning of a BRAND NEW DAY! |
