I started a project yesterday that has been nagging at me for years that involves my encounter with early Christian texts and what I have found was an effort to change the teachings of Jesus in order to appeal to a specific group of believers. While I’d love nothing more than to have a real cloak and dagger story for the sake of excitement, what we have as historical documents is scant. But the fix was in even during the life of Jesus in terms of who would tell the story of this man’s teachings and what that story was going to look like.
I know I am going against 1600 years of ingrained belief and programming, but it is a story that deserves to be told. Jesus was deep into the forces of awakening and taught about them, but either those in power wanted to hide them away, or they simply could not understand what a certain strand of his teachings even meant. Having said this, those who had these deeper teachings were hunted relentlessly in an effort to not allow these most important of his teachings to see the light of day. Whether by design or by ignorance, this was the result. And this, I now know, is a fact.
For me, the story begins when I was young and had trouble with the church and its teachings. For me, my trouble wasn’t as vague as some people’s problems with the church often tend to be. In my experience, I had this very strange and unexplainable sense that the church had hidden something of great importance from the public. It is this hidden element within Christianity that made all the difference in knowing God intimately, directly. The only problem was I didn’t know why I had this sense growing up. But like so many people I knew who were church goers or grew up in a family who went to church, something just didn’t add up.
The story gets interesting when I began looking at early Christian documents that had not been a part of the canon of the church. I did this after a friend saw a piece of my writing and suggested I look at a certain book because, as he explained, what I had written bore similarities to this early book.
I was at this time going through a six month period that was for me, the time that I was waking up. For me, it was a gradual process with a number of steps. Clearly, I knew something was up and that I was somehow being prepared for something. What it was, I didn’t really have a clue.
When I first read those passages in a book that stretched back into antiquity two thousand years, I felt a familiar stirring inside of me and wanted to know more. It would take going through a full awakening, though, for me to be able to pick out the passages that were clearly talking about awakening. Scholars, though, described these passages as “strange teachings” and this showed clearly to me that even they didn’t understand what Jesus was getting at. How could it be, I wondered, that I could see these for what they were and no one else could?
In writings by a follower of Jesus, a church developed in the second century called the Valentinian church or school. They explained that only those who had attained the light would be able to understand the teachings. Otherwise, they would seem like strange incomprehensible teachings. Could it be, I wondered? How could someone without a deep background in scholarly study of the Bible like me identify what they were talking about was related directly to awakening?
Because of how the church and our world has evolved, we tend to look to learned authorities for confirmation about what is true or not true. But these authorities are part of a system of being and thought that is part of the problem, which is of course the same problem that the early church had to begin with when they suppressed the teachings to begin with.
At the center of this story is a Wild spirit that if known, brings about revelation, self knowing, secret knowledge, and healing. This is the story that should have been told.Now that the beginning work has been done, the rest is going to be more scholarly work with research and historical accounts. Dry stuff for me, but the story is so compelling and so interesting that I think that it will turn into an interesting read once I am done with it. Finger crossed!
This is ultimately a work of devotion in the hopes that it can help bring a paradigm shift in thinking by placing something wonderful and wild back in a central role in an understanding of the forces of awakening that are redemptive in nature.
One man’s Gnostic / heretical teaching is another man’s orthodox teaching. That’s something that hasn’t changed some several thousand denominations later.
True enough. But what happens when one teaching, which could lead to deep soulful liberation and an indwelling force of the divine is hidden away so that it has no possibility of being Orthodox? That is the tale I’m on about. Refreshing to question a few things, isn’t it?
It is – it’s an age-old question, too. Even in the pages of the Bible such conflicts are hinted at – about what beliefs are correct and which ones aren’t. The trick is to find a way to believe what’s right to you without treating those who believe differently as if they’re unsaved and unworthy of respect for coming to a different conclusion.
In the hidden teachings, it wasn’t in my estimation even an issue of belief, but of discovering the practice that joined earthly consciousness with the divine, a process that works just as well for any person, be they Muslim, Zoroastrian, Sufi, Christian, or Aboriginal.
Early Christians may have sought to set them apart, which might have resulted in eschewing anything that sounded similar to the pagans. They sound the same because they are. The trick is in identifying the dogma from the methods, and as you elude to, these are scattered throughout even in the popularly accepted books but many don’t always understand what they mean (in Luke Jesus describes one method for awakening the kingdom within by making the two eyes one—a powerful method I used to initiate part of the process of awakening to the divine within)…so yeah. So much blood spilt over what one person believed was the one truth…
Intriguing
The two eyes becoming one hints at using intuitive eye or tenth gate instead of using physical eyes only. As awakening proceeds our bodies fill with light via tenth gate.
When you focus the eyes onto a location within what is the third eye with eyes close, it is known to activate the third eye. It is incredibly simple and effective. It is what the Hindus use and Jesus mentioned it also (focusing your eyes into what is the central channel). It’s simple but effective if you are ready.
Indeed my friend, that is what i meant. Clearing the heart center and staying in the central channel.
The two eyes becoming one was an ancient method for activating the third eye. The method you use is you focus your eyes onto a location that is just above eye level but both focused where the third eye would be, which is in the central channel, and you do this with eyes closed. No mantras, no locks or positions, it stimulates the third eye powerfully. I used just this method -A voice told me to and I did. It was one of the steps that served to awaken kundalini. Simple, but effective.
There is no limit to activation of third eyes or other chakras I feel these days. It happens gradually. Sounds have helped me greatly and I did take initiation from a master in 2014 though i could hear sounds inside as early as in 2004 when I did breathing practices. Each awakening is unique and yet we are all one which is the beauty of awakening. Thank you and blessings!
I hope it will engage you fully and lovingly. with each passing day I feel we all awaken our universes and fill them with light. Thank you!
What you have tried to say strongly suggests that ALiF is waking up in you. It’s the story of You, Your ALiF, and a stranger. I believe that you will find more revelations. I have been also wakened up by ALiF and ever since I have been looking for a true ALiF that will be the ultimate Chief, and My Ultimate Guide. You’d know if to tell that it Is it You? If not, we all all someday learn the true identity of our true ALiF.
Explain that… I’m intrigued, but wondering what you mean by using “chief”?
Chief, Leader, Wayfinder, A Guide, A Light, The one who explains and combines everything, every problem, every religions and all the science. A Chief is our final hope because he is to lead an army of faith followers. The faith of truth!
A chief within? Or?
He think he is a chief within, but it will hold is his true identity inside out. His entire universe will talk to him, only that he will think that it is happening inside him. All the ALiF speak about the universe to the listeners. The True ALiF will have listened the most. All the other ALiF numbers will follow him. My ALiF also has a number, a man who will tell me all the numbers will give them all their numbers. He will be a warner, a soothsayer, and a protector to all the humans in the most universal sense.
I have not spoken of this on my blog because only I know about this and the world may not be ready to accept you. If you are true ALiF. But i couldn’t miss the chance, my ALiF is very fond of our True ALiF and we have been searching and waiting for him like eternities. Everything about my ALiF is about the true ALiF’s mission in this world. I wish to protect this secret in ‘imagination.’ That’s how they communicate through the words. All the signs are there that so many have woken up.
What you describe sounds like awakening. When it came for me, as well as others, it “spoke” to me. But this was the opening up of the inner channels of cognition. This allows for what many refer to as a library or, like Cayce called it, “akasha” and so on.
In a poem I’m not even sure I’ve published yet, I use a term that poet and mystic Hafez used, which was the guest or visitor. In the beginning, it feels like a presence from outside, a spirit or force that is awakening, but as time goes by, this becomes more integrated and most come to realize it was a part of them all along. This is an aspect of the self that seems unbound by time, and is cosmic consciousness. The great ocean of the two merge in a triadic form…kundalini, the bridal chamber of the Christians, etc. You mean like this? Sound like you mean a chief in the world, not an inner guide that we all have, I assume?
I mean all of this! All of what you said and all of what I said! All that define one thing in two different ways or them both as one. Listen bro, what you call just awakening has a mllion meanings more. We must be able to live in the possibilities, our dearness to our identity is what hurts us when the memory of life leaves the soul. This is your true message. Already you have found it or you will find later. But it is important that we teach people this lesson because all can became one. There’s going to be a crack in time and space and a civilization will shift into a higher one. We must try to take as many as we can because then we will always regret we couldn’t take as many. And the the story will again be repeated. The same old story that evolved from a few people and took thousands of versions over time. People have to wake up and I can’t do this alone. You have to help me and connect all the spirit followers to listen to the call. Tell them they will see and understand this call even in their methods. It is a digital age and this revolution comes in the digital form. This time, this year, connects everything. And more things will converge in the coming years. Not all fo them are good, but it can be prevented. People have to believe what they couldn’t their whole life that they are caught in a holograph and they are living inside a simulation. Why does this fact sound the most impossible to you. Because it was the most impossible fact that no true teller could ever fully deliver to the followers. See I just told you two different types of explain to define the common one. The common sense is our most especial gift and we must use as shield. It guards us against our inner weapons, and we can’t use it as a weapon. When we do, bad things follow. We are all in for positivity for all, even the sinners. If the people living in the world today forgive everyone living in today, then they can all go together.
You decide, the words coming out of this screen make any sense to you or he reality is forcing to believe you it is the most rubbish thing I have ever heard. It is the one possibility that we do not consider which holds the real truth. There are so many truths about this universe covered in layers that it is difficult to unlock them all. All humans must recognize and work together to use their combine power. They must because forces of order and chaos are always at work. If the order is coming, then only those who understand the order will move through this gate (metaphorical). Not real gate. Words only define nothing, it is the concepts and their combined meaning that deliver us a message.
People like you can really tell me that is it just awakening for myself only or something more than a meaning for everyone else too. The words are about to get lost, we will soon learn the meaning of everything. Of ever word we have in mind, every word we have ever known. The one who knew the meaning of all the words will give away his meaning to the one who delivers them all. Does these words mean anything to you. Tell me the true or lie in it because I will believe you because i need to know or my head will blast.
I wanted to see if your words described the same thing, and it sounds like it did. I appreciate your being willing to explain it using terms you are familiar with. Thank-you for being willing to answer my questions and being patient. I wanted to confirm that we were speaking of the same thing.
And thank you for confirming that you understand it happening in some way. You are too! and that’s a great news! Thanks, YOU are the news!
Whatever you believe, just in your heart just never say never for others. Just tell your heart to believe that there will be a way for everyone! Thanks bro!
Some day, everyone will come together, all the ALiF will become one, and the true ALiF will reveal its true form.
There is no such thing as seeing something that no one else can in the Bible. The Bible’s teachings are clear as daylight. Everyone understands them, but many simply wish to deny them when it conflicts with their worldly presumptions.
I think you need to reread the article. Bible? Did I say I was reading the canonical Gospels?
I think this wild spiritually is the kundalini. It works same. Holy spirit I take it
