First Seal (The Mystical
Paths)
Mission Of Maitreya
“Eternal Divine
Path”
A Lecture Given By:
Maitreya
Feast of Tabernacles
October 12, 2003
Sal-OM, everyone. Let us close our eyes for a minute, bring
our energy all together, and let God come through all of us.
Let us be attentive, participating in the lecture together.
Let us learn from what God has revealed to us and become one with
it.
Sal-OM.
We are going to have a lecture on the First Seal. If you go to
the website and have the PowerPoint presentation up, this is the
first screen. You just have to follow it as I go along [the
sentences in bold are from the PowerPoint presentation].
What have we covered in the previous
lectures?
The Lectures We
Have Given So Far
1.
Second Seal
2.
Third Seal
3.
Fourth Seal
4.
Fifth Seal
5.
Sixth Seal
6.
Seventh Seal
So if you want to go
and look at what has been given in previous years, you can just go
to this page and click on one of them to see what the lecture was.
7. In this lecture we will cover the
First Seal (Awakening of the Spiritual Forces).
This is probably the most expanded and the vastest one because it is
the Spirit behind all the religions. You cannot have a
religion without the Mystical Paths. There is no religion that
doesn’t have a Mystical Path in it. The only one I was
thinking that might not have a mystical part is the Baha’i teaching.
But even they probably will have some mystical people in it and they
have had some experience with God, etc.
8. Then we will have a lecture on all the
Seals in The Greatest Sign.
So with this lecture we will have given a lecture on every Seal in
The Greatest Sign. If you want to go see what the lecture was
about, you can go ahead and look at the website and see what was
given.
Next year, the lecture is going to be done. I am going to ask
questions from you, what the lecture was. So you had better go
and learn the lectures. You are all going to be tested on the
lectures I have given [laughter]. You had better listen very
carefully today so you do not have to go and study it again for next
year.
I think they are all
very good lectures. They all bring everything together.
Now you have this lecture on the First Seal also. So we are
going to have a very good collection of what each of the Seals is
about.
So we are going to start with the…
Beginning!
Most of the other lectures (for instance, the lecture on the Second
Seal) start from Abraham, how Abraham was chosen, and all of that.
The Third Seal starts with Christ. The Fourth Seal lecture was
about Islam. The Fifth Seal lecture was about the Baha’is.
The Sixth Seal lecture was about Baba and Paravipras. And the
Seventh Seal lecture, of course, is our teaching.
Now this lecture is going to cover mostly from the beginning of
creation to the Second Seal because that is what we are missing
right now in our lecture series about The Greatest Sign.
That is why we will start from the beginning. What was in the
beginning? Does anyone remember what happened in the
beginning?
Audience:
In the beginning was “The Word”…
Maitreya:
Oh it is there [laughter as all were looking at the PowerPoint
Screen and the answer was there]. Someone is cheating here.
Actually, it is true. In the beginning it was The Word.
The Word was God. At the same time, God was before the
creation, God was before the chaos; God was before anything that
happened in the universe. Therefore, in the beginning was The
Word.
But, after that, what happened? That was the chaos there.
The darkness was upon the face of the deep, wasn’t it? If the
darkness was upon the face of the deep, then what is darkness?
Darkness means chaos. It means that you cannot see your way.
You are confused, and you cannot find your way.
So there was…
1.
Chaos
And into that chaos, God decided to send
His Spirit.
2.
God sends His Spirit into this Chaos (let there be Light).
Why did He do that? He did that
because He wanted to rescue that chaos, the darkness, dispel it.
So something went wrong in the universe.
We might say, “It was the first desire,”
in the consciousness that was created in The Word, or Oneness in the
Universe, and for the first time the feeling of “I” separated from
the rest was created.
That is like we are. We are “I’s”
separated from each other. But if we are all in God, are we
really separated from each other? We are not. We are
absolutely One.
The reason we feel separated is because we
have that separated “I” from each other. But God did not want
that to happen. God did not want to see that separation.
That is what the chaos is. Do we
have chaos on earth? Why is there chaos on earth?
Audience:
Separation.
Maitreya:
Exactly. It is because each feels separated, “We are different
than they are, and they are different than we are.” What is
that story, putting the butter underneath the bread and putting the
butter on the top of the bread? The little differences become
big, and we get into all kinds of trouble with each another.
So God sent His Spirit to the
world and:
3.
His Spirit goes through the Eternal Divine Path.
Of course, if you read our teachings, they
explain how he went through the Eternal Divine Path. He
was the Spirit of God. He was the Consciousness of God.
That is the greatest sacrifice God made for the darkness, to come to
it, manifest Itself to the darkness, go through the process with the
darkness, and help the darkness to go back to God.
That is why God comes in the form of the
Prophets to bring to humans the Message. The Message is, “Turn
around, be baptized, go back home. You are going too far
away.”
That Spirit went through the process of
the
Eternal Divine Path. He awakened his spiritual forces.
Of course, because it was the Spirit of God, he awakened his
spiritual forces in an accelerated way. He realized that he
has to help the rest of the people in the darkness to go to God.
So he created Communities of Light.
He sacrificed for it. What is the next one? [Someone
answered.] Good, good, I thought you were asleep or something
[laughter]. The next one is to surrender and submit to God.
Then he became a Universalist. He
expanded his mind beyond any narrowness of the mind, went to
expansion of the mind, and saw the universe as a part of himself and
himself as a part of the universe. He became a Paravipra, an
Elect. Whoever follows this Path will become a Paravipra, an
Elect.
So, he became an Elect and eventually he
reached Pure Consciousness. And God said, “There is Light!
There is a possibility. There is a way out.” He can help
this darkness to go back to Pure Consciousness and reach back to
Home.
That is why the Eternal Divine Path
was created.
4. He had an experience with God
(Mystical Paths)
…that he knew he was a part of Him.
That is why the first step is so important, for everyone to start
meditating, to start to awaken their spiritual forces, to remember
that they are a part of God already. A lot of people do not
know it. They do not remember that they have come from God.
They have this amnesia that, “No, we are not a part of God. We
are just our little egos, and we are separated.” They feel bad
about themselves or they feel bad about their lives, “How small I
am,” or something like that. But if they experience that they
are a part of God, they know that they are not small. They are
a part of God so they will easily follow the rest of the Path.
5. Since He realizes that He has always
been a part of God, He is willing to go through the rest of the
Eternal Divine Path.
That is why meditation and awakening your spiritual forces are so
important because it gets us away from depression, it gets us away
from feeling not worthy to go through the Eternal Divine Path.
Even some people do not feel they are worthy to go to God.
They say, “Well, I am not worthy to go to God,” or something like
that. But as you meditate and you progress, you realize you
are already a part of God, so it will be revealed to you, “I had
better follow the Will of God which has been revealed to us as the
Eternal Divine Path.”
6. He reaches Pure Consciousness (and
there was Light, He became the First Begotten Son of God).
7. The Path to Salvation and the way to
bring back the lost universe (Darkness) is learned/discovered.
8. The Son and the Father, with The Holy
Ghost (Mother) tried to help these lost unit consciousnesses to
reach Pure Consciousness.
He reached Pure Consciousness. The Path was learned. He
can come back again and again and again. That is why in our
teachings, the Spirit of God comes back to humanity again and again.
That same Spirit was Adam. That same Spirit was Noah.
That same Spirit was Moses, or other Prophets, or Christ, because he
knows the Eternal Divine Path. He knows the Will of
God. He has gone through that process.
So the Father (God), The Holy Ghost (Mother), and the Son decided
that, “We want to help the darkness to go back to God.”
9. In the un-manifested state, it
was very hard work to accomplish this.
How hard is it to get the unit consciousnesses to go to God in the
manifested world? It is pretty tough, isn’t it? You have
to, like pulling teeth. That is because the ego says, “No, you
do not have to go to God. Stay here. Do your thing.
You are OK.” You do not really want to go to God, but you want
to keep your ego with you.
But do you really want to keep your ego? Why do you want to
keep your ego, stay here, suffer, and have this body, which becomes
old, crooked, needs food all the time, drink, you have to work for
it to get some food for it, etc.
But if you are in Pure Consciousness, you are absolutely in Bliss.
10. God decided to make this process
easier and more automatic.
I think God and me have something in common: I want to make
everything automatic too [laughter], make all those tapes, sounds,
and even the services are all automatic.
So He decided to automate the system. And that is why He
created the:
Creation
See, He did not just come and say, “Be,” and everything “was.”
A lot of people were saying that God created everything. The
Bible clearly says that there was no creation in the
beginning. Chaos was before creation, wasn’t it? God did
not come and say, “I am just going to decide and make the creation.”
There was some chaos first, and then God decided to create the
creation.
So He created the creation to take care of
that chaos. If you understand that, a lot of the problems and
questions that people have that they have been asking, “Where do the
unit consciousnesses come from?” “How did God create the
universe?” are taken care of.
So there was some material there. There was something there
before the creation. That is why He used the same material, He
used those lost consciousnesses and His own Body to create the
creation. So, the material already existed. It is not
something that creation came from nothingness, or from nothing.
There is no such thing as nothing. The creative forces and the
three gunas have always been here. It is hard for our
intellect to fathom that something has been here forever.
It is just like eternity, what is eternity? Can we even
imagine what eternity means? How do you say eternity in
French? [Someone who speaks French answered – it is the same
word] How can we even imagine eternity? You cannot, it
is very hard to do.
But the moment in your meditation you experience eternity, you will
know what it is. It is very simple, “Yes, it makes sense.
It has been there forever.”
1. God created the
creation in an evolutionary manner, in different stages (periods
–Nights and Days).
Also He used the material, which is the consciousness and the
creative forces. So we are not even against evolution.
Sure, God evolved the creation. He created dinosaurs. and He
realized that 98% of them were not going to work. Probably
some of them were destroyed. And now as we understand it, you
have dinosaurs right in your backyard. If you look at your
backyard, any bird that you look at, it was a dinosaur.
The rooster you have used to be a
dinosaur, or, a crow, or anything outside, [someone suggested the
roadrunner] or a roadrunner. Dinosaurs are something similar
to them.
So we can see, “Yes, God created and
evolved.” Humans are like Him. They also create things
in an evolutionary way.
When the first computer came, how much
memory did it have? Did it have 64K? And those floppy
disks, remember those huge 8” floppy disks? How have we
progressed in the last twenty years? We evolved, we
progressed, and we wanted to make it better and better. Now we
have a very powerful computer. That little thing on your desk
is more powerful than the first computer they created that took
three or four rooms to do the same work.
We can see that we are in the image of
God. We do the same thing that God does. We create, we
evolve, we perfect it, and we make it more efficient as we go ahead.
Then, of course, God decided to create the
plants, the earth, and everything. And He created them in a
period, the same as scientists create things and make them evolve
during a period of time.
Scientists have periods for creation.
They have the Jurassic period. They have many different
periods of creation.
Some people say that God created
everything. In seven days, the day and the night, He created
it. How can that be? There was no sun or moon even
before the third day. There was no sun or moon to have a day.
So here, really, when the Bible talks about the day, it is
talking about the periods of creation, not one twenty-four hour day
that they refer to.
2. Creation of humans.
They were male and female.
Eventually the crown of the creation was
the creation of man. Some people do not believe that.
They say probably there are other creatures that are better and
higher than man.
But man has the ability to know Self, and
they know that the Self and God is One. They can reach Pure
Consciousness.
So He created “them.” Actually, if
you look at the Bible it says, “He created them.” It is
amazing. You mean that no one saw that sentence. I was
the first person after 12,000 years who saw that? It is right
there. He created them. He created more than one.
But they have been talking about Adam and Eve as the only two
beings.
Adam was only one being that God created.
It never occurred to them that he was male and female, and that is
why He had to split them into two later. But it was so clear
to me right there that it says, “them,” more than one.
Adam and Eve were not there before God
split them. He couldn’t call them “them.” If He had
created only one Adam and Eve, He should say He created him or her
or it. But it does not say that. It says “them.” He
created more than one.
So we can see that God created many, many
humans. It was not that only Adam came in the garden, was all
by himself and unhappy, and God split him.
We can see that He created them as male
and female. They were perfect.
3. They were called
Adam (Complete).
Adam in some languages means perfect. When they want to say
that someone is becoming good, “You are progressing, you are
becoming perfect,” they say, “You are becoming an Adam.”
Case in point is in Persian. In Persian, when they want to say
you are perfect, they call you an Adam. In that language it
means you are perfect, you are becoming a more perfect person.
Actually the word is used exactly, “Adam,” even in Persian. It
is no different.
The original Persian language was from the
Indo-European language, so there are many similar words which are
used in Latin that still remain in Persian. So that means that
Adam was perfect. He was man and woman, male and female in one
body. He was not looking for any external partner to get
married with. He was already married. He was one with
his partner.
God decided, “Well, he is too perfect.
He is not really progressing to go back to the Universe.”
We always have to remember what is the
reason for creation. The goal of the creation is to bring all
unit consciousnesses back to God. If we keep that in mind, we
can always see why God was doing these things in the creation, or
why we do things in this Mission.
The whole idea in this Mission is
to get you back to God. It is not to get you attached to me or
anyone else, but to God alone. We all have to also work toward
that Goal, to work toward everyone in the Mission to go to
God as fast as possible, and to create an environment that
accelerates going back home.
4. Separation of
man into man and woman.
So, God decided to separate man or Adam to
male and female.
In the Bible it clearly says that
God did that. And He saw that man was alone. It does not
say that the man was lonely. He said that he was alone, “all
one.” And He decided to separate man to male and female.
Fall of Man
Everyone knows the famous story of how man
fell. After He split male and female, both of them have the
lower nature and the higher nature.
Also remember, there was not only one
Adam, there were many of them. It was not that one woman went
to the male and said, “Let us eat of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil.” There were many of them there.
And God told them to not do certain things
that He had forbidden them to do. “If you follow my rules,
requests, and commandments you will be OK and you can live in the
higher level, in The Grace. You will progress faster, you will
come back to Me, and we can get rid of this darkness as soon as
possible.”
But what happened? Did they listen
to God? Are they listening to God now? If you teach
Godly Words, do they come?
If you tell them, “You are OK, do whatever
you want, you are fine as you are,” you will have a lot of
followers, they just go to bliss, fall all over the place, call you
God, and put you up there on the pedestal. You will have
millions of people to follow you, you will become their god, but
these followers will never reach God because you are in their way.
That is what most of humanity wants.
Now, tell them to follow the Eternal
Divine Path, meditate, and get rid of their egos, and they will
say you are a bad person, “Get him, kill him, crucify him!”
And then they say, “Oh, we loved him, but we crucified him. He
is not here to tell us what to do. He was great. He was
just wonderful [laughter]. OK, now let us do whatever we want
and follow whatever our desire is.”
So you can see that teaching the truth
does not have many followers.
Did you want to say something? If
anyone wants to say something, go ahead.
Audience:
This does not have much of a following, yet.
Maitreya:
Yes, well, this time it is supposed to be a little different because
the Elects love to hear the Word of God. If other people do
not love to hear the Word of God, at least the Elects do, hopefully.
We will get to that later.
1.
Adam (higher nature of man) falls to the ground (from
Heaven/Grace).
What does that mean, falling? Was
there really a garden there? A lot of people are looking for a
garden on earth. Where is the garden of Eden? Some
people say Eden was in Babylon, or in Iraq. Some people say it
was in Persia. Some people say it was somewhere else.
Some people even say the United States was
the garden. That is why man was thrown out of it. And
then later on, we came back to it. It is the land of milk and
honey, etc.
So they are looking for a place, where it
is. But really it is a state of consciousness. That is
when you follow God’s Laws and Will and you are in the Bliss and The
Grace of God. If you do not, you fall.
When the fall came, they became grosser
(cruder). Later on, they had children. Adam and Eve had
Cain and Abel.
2. Further fall of
man (Cain and Abel).
What happened to Cain and Abel? The
second sin started, didn’t it?
Abel was a very able man and very aware of
God. He brought to God the offering that was from his heart.
He was not trying to bring to God something that he had expected
something in return. He was absolutely detached from his work
for God.
But Cain was not. That is why God
did not accept Cain’s offering. And Cain was very upset about
it, “What is the difference? I brought the same thing.
You do not accept mine, but Abel’s offering you accept.”
He did not understand. It was
because he did not bring it with a pure heart. He expected
something in return. He wanted something from God for the
things he was doing for God.
So that is why God said, “I am not going
to accept yours, but Abel’s I will accept because it was from his
pure heart, from absolutely that detachment.” Abel wanted to go to
God instead of just expecting something in return.
Cain became angry about that. He
could not understand. He killed Abel.
When God asked him, “Where is Abel,” he
said, “I do not know. I am not my brother’s keeper. Why
are you asking me? I hid him. You do not know where he
is either.” But, of course, God already knew where he was
because you cannot hide anything from God.
You can try. You think you do
something when
Maitreya is not around, “It is OK, I can do it.” God is
with you. You can try to hide it but you cannot hide it from
Him.
Anyway, so that was the second sin again.
And God threw Cain even further from His Grace. He absolutely
pushed him from His Presence. You know that he became a
vagabond, without any home. He fell from The Grace in a
greater degree. He was pushed out of The Grace.
Humans Fall Further to Flesh
1. Man no longer
is in the Image of God (Adam had his son in Adam’s image).
We can see that in the beginning God
created Adam in whose image? He was in God’s image. But
in Genesis
it says, “Adam begot a son in his image.” It does not say
anymore that the son of Adam is in the image of God because now man
was split into two.
If I have a son, the son is half really
because he has another part. Some female might have been born
somewhere who is his other part, if he has one. So he is not
in God’s image. He is in my image because he is my son.
That is exactly what happened to Adam.
He begat Seth, who was in the image of Adam. He no longer was
in the image of God. Of course, because he was not in the
image of God, he was half the image of God because he was not one
with his other half as Adam was in the beginning.
As we can see, man is no longer in the
image of God after his split into male and female. So with all
these steps, man fell further away from The Grace (God).
There is a story that after the first
fall, God created for him another female. Seth is from his
second wife. That is why there is an explanation about having
the other part and the twin flame in THOTH.
And you see that all the Great Prophets
and Great Beings like Shiva, Krishna, even Christ, and Moses had two
females connected with them in their lives. For Christ, there
was Mary and Martha. For Prophet Muhammad, there was Khadija
and Ayesha. For Bab, there was his wife and Tahirah.
So you can always see two females with the
great Prophets and the Messiah. There is the story that also
Seth is from the second wife of Adam.
2. Crudification
of man to the fleshly beings (coats of skin).
Now man in this state is still more
psychic energy. He does not have any physical body. It
is not crudified enough to really have flesh that needs skin.
But, because they fell even further, now God created a fleshly body
for them and He put a coat of skin on them.
Even Sons of God Failed
1. Humans still had
access to the Spiritual World (their Third Eyes were open!)
Humans eventually became flesh. Now
they are flesh but they still have their physic energies with them,
their Third Eyes are open. They can still see the spiritual
world and the Spirit.
Actually, that is what many people talk
about, the Cyclops. Have you ever heard about Cyclops, that
they had spiritual powers, energy, and all of that?
Always legends have some truth in them.
So it means that there were humans who had only one eye. That
was, their third eyes were open so they could see psychic energies.
They used that for further manipulating the Spirit. They
became very powerful and started manipulating energy. They
reached a point that they could extract the life form and use it to
prolong their lives.
In chapter 6, the sons of God also fell.
They became attached to the external world. They saw the
daughters of men and took as many as they wanted. They became
attached to the earth, and they started using the power to create a
better environment for themselves. Humans still had access to
the spiritual world; their third eyes were open.
2.
They misused it and even those who had reached a higher level
(sons of God) failed.
3. These failed sons
formed a group that is now known as the brotherhood,
or hierarchy.
That is what we were talking about
recently that eventually resulted in the Essay, “Who Is The
Anti-Christ” that I wrote about six months ago. I had tried to
include them to the Mission
but the more I meditated on it, it just would not work. They
also attach people to themselves.
Anything, anybody, any group, any
movement, that attaches people to something that is not the
Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal, should be really looked
at in a very deep level and one should realize: Are they
really taking people to God, or are they in the way?
When I first read this in the Bible,
it came to me very clearly, that these are the fallen angels.
They were the sons that fell. That is because if you are
really sons of God, then why do you come to earth, and become
attached to earthly things?
So that was the conclusion that they fell
and eventually they created this group or energy on earth. And
now, they are in the way of human progress to God.
4. Many still
follow these fallen angels.
How many people channel those angels,
Master M, Katumi, Ramtha, and all those things? Why do you
want to channel those? Why don’t you go to God directly?
You are not here to be attached to anything or anyone except God.
The Goal Of The Life Is To Be(Come)
Divine, to become one with God, not to Katumi, or Master M, etc.
So it really has taken a lot of people away from being Godly and
going to God.
4.
They are an obstacle in the way of man to God. They
have even brought
much confusion about Maitreya (Mr. Crème and his Maitreya).
We can see that Mr. Crème says that his
Maitreya is coming tomorrow, no next week, maybe the next week
after, next year, six months from now. “Oh, no, it didn’t
happen. Maybe we can wait another year, two years.” It
has been twenty-five years that he has given this promise over and
over, and nothing has materialized.
You can fool me once. You can fool
me twice. But if you can fool me for twenty-five years, I am a
fool [laughter]. See, you just have to come to a conclusion
and eventually say, “No. I am not going to listen to you.
If he could have made it, he should have been here by now. You
cannot lie to me again and again.”
However, he was correct about 1982.
He predicted correctly. That is why he actually looked like a
John the Baptist at times because John the Baptist said the same
thing about Christ, “He is going to come, he is going to come.”
When Christ came, he did not recognize him. He had to send his
disciples to ask him, “Are you the one we are waiting for?”
Christ said, “Yes, you told me, you
baptized me.” Hello. [laughter]
The same thing is happening here. We
came in 1982. We came here and said, “Here it is.” You
want to unify humanity? You want to bring the Kingdom Of
Heaven On Earth? This is it. Here it is given the way to
do it.
They say, “No.” Even his disciples
come to our room, yell, and all of that.
Further Misuse of Powers
1. Other beings that
failed were those who set themselves up as God.
There was another group also, even before
the flood, who set themselves up as gods. They said, “We are
gods.” That was because they had the direct connection to the
spiritual world and their third eyes were open, so they could
manipulate the energy and even do miracles. They set
themselves up as gods.
2. They called their
children the sons of God, and their wives the holy mothers.
So they created the trinity in the form of the human. They
said, “We are gods, these are the holy mothers, and these are the
sons of God.”
The true explanation of this trinity is
not human form. It is God, The Holy Ghost, and the Messiah.
They knew about this, but they twisted it around for humanity and
made the trinity in a human form.
3. Humans should take
no one as God but the Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal
(FINE).
This is absolutely paramount in our teachings and we have to
recognize it and realize it. Even if you see me as the Spirit
of God, look at the Spirit. This body is going to die and go
away. Therefore, the Spirit of God, which is behind me, is
Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal. Of course, as we
said many times, God cannot come and say, “Here I am,” and everyone
would say, “Oh, I can see you. I can touch you,” etc. Many
people cannot understand a Formless God. So He has to use a
body to do that.
4. Still many humans
take other men as God.
We saw in our Conversation Room two weeks ago that this person came
from Sai Baba and was adamant that Sai Baba was god. That absolutely
is against our teaching. No one can claim to be God. And
that is one of the problems with the Mystical Paths. That is
because they claim the human can be god and come and become their
master.
Did Sai Baba create the creation, or if you poke him he does not
bleed, or he does not get sick, or whatever? So we can see it
is not true.
Still many humans take other men as god.
5. To destroy
this, God created the concept of the Messiah, and only the Messiah
is the Spirit of God on earth.
Even before the flood of Noah, God created
the concept of the Son of God, the First Begotten Son, the Spirit of
God comes to earth. The Spirit of God comes to man as the
Teacher, as a Messenger, as the Bringer of the Message of God.
And only then can you look and say, “Yes, He has fulfilled the
prophecies. He has done what God said. His Word is based
on God. Therefore, yes, he is the Spirit of God.” And
only that can be taken as the Spirit of God on earth.
God knows man very well, so He has
revealed very clearly how He works. No man can come and claim
they are God. No matter how wonderful they are, how many
miracles they do, and what beautiful words they utter, “No, it does
not matter, I am not going to follow you. Have you fulfilled
the prophecies? Have you opened the Seven Seals? Have
you opened the Book sealed with the Seven Seals?” or whatever God
prophesied He should have fulfilled.
Prophet Muhammad did. Christ did.
Moses did. Bab did. Therefore, we can see that it is a
very exclusive club. Not everyone can come in [laughter].
6. Man should
understand this and should stop taking others as God.
Another Evolutionary Step Came!
1. For all this chaos,
failure, and destruction, a new evolutionary step became necessary.
This step is known to man as the Flood of Noah. One of
the reasons for the Flood of Noah was to return man to worship only
the Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal (FINE) as much as
possible (those who did not were destroyed)!
That is what happened in the flood of
Noah. It sounds cruel. It sounds like, “Oh no, we do not
want to destroy anyone, let us listen to everyone, and include
everyone.” This is the new motto in society: “Oh
everyone should be included. Do not be harsh to anyone,” and
all of that.
But God is. God says, “Now that is enough. Now is the
time to sunder.”
So we can say that we are in the same situation as the people were
at the time of the Flood of Noah. It is the time of sundering.
Those who come to our boat are going to be saved. Those who
are out of the boat, the flood is going to come and destroy them.
2. The idea was to
create a less spiritually aware man and send to him the Messiah,
Guiding them with the Spirit of God. At the end the wheat will
be sundered from the chaff!
Again, He closed the third eye of man. He created a new man, a
man of renown. Do we see anything when our third eyes are not
opened? We are absolutely flesh and we think this is the
external world and we are so attached to it. We think that is
it! So we are absolutely cut off from the Spirit, cut off from
even seeing the Spiritual world.
But why? It is so we can be guided and recognize who is guided
and who is not. That is why we can see the last 12,000 years
of history to this point have been for this reason.
3. So the Wheat and the
Chaff were left to grow together until the Harvest time. So
history started and we know that many humans are still lost (lust!)
When you lust, you become lost.
The next topic is going to be:
Effects of the Flood of Noah on
Humans and Their History
1. Noah becomes the
first Spiritual Teacher of the new humans.
Noah still had his third eye open.
He was from the previous generation. If you study the
generations in the Bible, it says that God begat this, and
this person begat that son, etc. So the first sons only were
mentioned. They never mentioned more than one son. At
the end, of course, it says, “Also they begat some daughters.”
Suddenly with Noah it changed. It
says, “Noah begat three sons.” The flow is not the same as the
previous verses. So we see that something happened to those
three sons. When the Bible
changes the rhythm, that means some new thing happened.
Also it says that God created the man of
renown. So in this time, Noah had the spiritual powers and the
understanding of God. He was a good man. He was not
saying that he was God, that his sons are the sons of God, and his
wife is the Holy Mother. He was knowing God.
So he became the teacher of the next
generation.
2. His Teachings become
the base for the Mystical Paths (Hinduism).
He taught them the base of the Spirit, how
to return: meditate (awaken your spiritual forces), the First
Seal. He taught them the Eternal Divine Path. He
taught them how to create the communities together, how to get
along, how to create an environment where the people can progress,
etc. So he taught them the Mystical Paths, and he became the
first teacher of man.
He brought the teaching of the previous
generation to the new generation.
3. Creation of the five
classes of humans.
So these three new sons became the symbol
of the five classes of humans.
4. Ham is the symbol
for the Shudran and Ksattriyan type of humans.
This was the start of the Shudran and
Ksattriyan classes. You can go study in our teachings who are
the Shudras and Ksattriyans. And it is not bad to be a Shudra
or Ksattriya. It is OK as long as you are satisfied with where
you are and what you are doing.
The Sadvipras or Paravipras are supposed
to be Shudras too, to be able to do the physical work if necessary.
If there is a fight, they would take the army and go and put the
rebellious people down, or whatever is necessary.
We are supposed to have the last war.
So if we do not have Ksattriyas with us, how can we have the last
war and win?
5. Japheth is the
symbol for the intellectual and business-oriented humans (Vipras and
Vaeshyas).
6. Shem is symbol for
the spiritual humans (Brahmins).
Of course, Abraham was “A-bram,” he was
not even a Brahmin (an “a” in front of any word in Sanskrit makes it
negative.” God chose him.
7. Explanation of the
class domination after the Flood of Noah (for more information, read
the book:
Kingdom of Heaven on Earth).
Or you can read the lecture we gave for
the Second Seal. We have a PowerPoint presentation on that.
Actually, we have two PowerPoint presentations on that. Radah
gave a lecture on that also.
So we can go and read all about how class
domination continued in human history and how these classes
dominated other classes, and if we do not bring the Kingdom, how
these classes are going to dominate each other and it is going to go
on and on forever.
But we have to bring a system that the
Paravipras are going to be in control and they smooth out these
periods without getting to the revolution. That is all in
THOTH; read the Book.
Worshipping Other Men as God, and
the Mystery Schools Continued After the Flood
So we said that one of the problems of the coming of the flood of
Noah was that there were these human-made Mystery Schools that they
said, “I am God, my wife is the holy ghost, and my son is the son of
God,” that those people were following. That is what destroyed
them. This practice was stopped by the flood of Noah.
However, later on they were reincarnated after the flood. We
said that God wanted the chaff and the wheat to grow together.
So He did not completely separate them. Still the chaff was
coming to life.
It was the beginning of the period of the Ksattriyas or warrior
class. And Nimrod was the beginning of that class.
Nimrod became the King.
1. Nimrod began a new
cult and the period of Ksattriyas started with him (his kingdom
started in Babel).
“Babel” means people are babbling.
They are all expressing their own understandings and opinions but no
one is listening to anyone else, because none of them have the
truth. Just everyone babbles and they go over each
other’s heads. Right now that is why they have so much war and
destruction. It is because no one sits quietly and listens to
this Revelation.
2. He changed the
Worshipping of the One God, which is Formless, Invisible, Nameless,
and Eternal (FINE).
After the flood, Noah was in control.
He brought the teaching of the worshipping of the Formless,
Nameless, and Invisible to humanity, and people started worshipping
the Invisible God again. But people said, “It is too hard for
us. We cannot see God. We cannot feel God. We
cannot touch God,” etc. Their third eyes were closed, so they
were desperately saying, “It is hard. We want a statue.
We want something to hang onto to worship Him.”
Nimrod was the king. Kings usually listen to their subjects
because they want to please them. However, not the king that
has the Spirit of God in him. No, he just listens to God.
But the real human kings listen to men, “What do they want?”
So Nimrod gave in. He said, “OK, you do not have to worship
the Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal (FINE). I am
your God and you worship me,” and put all my pictures all over the
place like Sadaam Hussein, and my statues everywhere [laughter].
Now you have a God. Just listen to me. You do not have
to worry about God.
The people who were in control of the
spiritual progress became very upset with him. That is because
after the flood, those high priests, just like Melchizedek, and
other people were very upset with Nimrod that he again destroyed the
worshiping of the Formless, Invisible, and Nameless God. He
changed the worshipping of the God, which is Formless, Invisible,
Nameless, and Eternal.
Therefore, because of his claims, he was
killed. The high priests realized that he was changing things
again to the way it was before the flood.
3. After his death, his
wife (Semiramis) claimed the child in her womb (Bar-Nin) was Nimrod,
and so Nimrod was God and his son (Bar-Nin) was the Son of God, and
she was the Holy Mother (the concept of trinity as being human
started again).
So Semiramis said, “The son, the child I
have in my womb, is Nimrod, is the reincarnation of Nimrod. He
is going to come back and therefore, he was your god before, and he
is going to be your god again. But he is going to be the son
of god and I am his mother so I am the holy mother.” Again the
trinity before the Flood started all over again.
4 . This belief
of humans being gods/holy ghosts (mothers) and the sons of God
spread throughout the earth. Many cultures and people still
believe in this false explanation of God, the holy ghost and the
son.
That continued to this point and when the
teaching of Christ came to the Roman Empire and Greece. They
already had these false doctrines there as a part of their belief.
So as we said, many things were changed in Christ’s teachings by
Rome and the Athenians. They accepted that he was the Son of
God. But they also accepted that his mother was The Holy
Mother. And the Father is God, who had a relationship with
Mary, and they created a son.
With our explanation, we take the true meaning of the Father,
Mother, and Son to the correct explanation, which is Spirit.
It has nothing to do with the physical relationship. So again that
has been corrected here.
Also the Egyptians picked up Semiramis’ claims and they made it to
Osiris, and Isis, and all of that, with the same story that he died,
she became pregnant, and his son became the son of God. That
is why also he was spread all over their culture, with the name
changed.
5. Nimrod is known in
other cultures as: Osiris, Saturn (the name Satan came from the same
root), Attis, Atlas, Apollo, Zernebogus, Bacchus, and Zeus.
So again we can see that our explanation of where the name of Jesus
came from comes from worshipping Nimrod, the man-made Mystery
Schools, and all of that.
6. Semiramis is known
in other cultures as: Isis, Ishtar, Cybele, Venus, Aphrodite, Diana,
Juno.
7. Bar-Nin is known in
other cultures as: Horus, Mardouk, Mars, etc.
8. Many of these ideas
still exist today!
Many people are followers of Isis.
They believe in the Egyptian philosophy and teachings. All of
them are made by man and are not a Revelation from God.
Men Again Fall Further and Set
Themselves up as gods. They Again Stop Listening to God (Tower
of Babel).
After the flood, as we just explained, humans went back to the way
things were before the flood. But, of course, the human did
not have that direct relationship with the Spirit any longer.
What they were left with was telepathy.
They still had the telepathic ability. They could talk and
understand each other telepathically. That is why the Bible
said, “They were of one language.”
Lou, go ahead. What is the question?
Maybe even go ahead and type it. [He did type in text]
The question is, “Because God told the Hebrews to get out of Egypt,
maybe that was the reason, because they were worshipping idols and
false teachings.”
That was one of the reasons, of course.
Another reason was that God already gave them the promise of the
Promised Land. So He had to take them to the Promised Land.
Also, in the Promised Land they would not worship idols. They
would not believe in the Mystery Schools. They would bring God
(Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal), into their midst.
That is why later on, when Moses went to
the mountains for forty days and forty nights and he was late, what
did they do? Because they had learned from Egypt, they said,
“We do not have our Prophet. He left. Let us create
another calf of gold, worship it, sacrifice to it, and then we will
have a god.”
So as we can see, they had already been
deeply influenced by the Egyptians. That is why the moment
they lost their Prophet, and they were back to their ways.
That is true, that can be a reason for it.
Also He had a Promise to take them to the Promised Land. When
they go to the Promised Land, they would have the Formless,
Invisible, Nameless God.
So they had the telepathic ability. They
could communicate with each other very easily. That is why
they came together again and started saying, “Let us go make a
tower, go to the sky, and find the Formless, Invisible God and kill
Him so that we do not have to worry about Him any more. We can
be god ourselves and continue going our way.”
That shows how stubborn the human is,
doesn’t it, and how much they want to be God themselves? They
do not want to listen to God at all. They want to be God, in
their little ego, whatever they have.
1. To further prevent
the humans from harming themselves and so accelerating their
progress, they were scattered all over the earth (now it is time to
scatter all over the universe).
So their telepathic ability was also taken
away. Can we make telepathy with each other now? We
cannot any more, unless you learn how to do it.
Still we have a little bit of it.
Have you ever known that someone was going to call you, and the
phone rings? That sounds like a little is still left in us.
That means we can have it back. But we are not going to have
it back until we learn how to become Godly and bring the Kingdom Of
Heaven On Earth.
So God took the telepathic ability from
them. Their languages were different. They were changed.
He actually destroyed some of the lands they were in. He
separated and split the lands from each other and made them to go
further away, one from another. And He scattered humans all
over the earth.
2. As humans were
scattered all over the earth, the Mystical Knowledge was also
scattered by their priests and Spiritual Teachers.
Now we have all these people who were the
heads of the spiritual teachings-groups who left and went to
different parts of the world including the Mystery Schools and the
teaching of “the human can become god, the son of god, and the holy
ghost.”
3. From these original
Teachings, the Mystical understanding of all nations and people
sprung.
That is why we still have this teaching
existing on earth and people following it.
The Indian Continent Is Attached
to the Asian Continent
We
know that the Indian Continent does not really belong to Asia.
It came from Africa. It was disconnected from it. It
broke up. Eventually it went under the Asian Continent and is
still pushing it up.
Eventually the Himalayas were formed. The Himalayas increase a
couple of inches every year. If you want to climb it, climb it
fast because it is going to get higher and higher [laughter].
It is getting harder to climb to the top.
1. As the evolutionary
process has shown us, these ideas formed different beliefs, adapted
to the situations different people were in.
Also the Mystical Paths came from the same
source but because they were scattered all over the earth, and the
situation was different for each people, usually the beliefs evolved
with the environment that they were in. If you study the
belief of any culture, their belief is based very much according to
what the environment provided. For instance, the American
Indians who were in the places where there were buffalos have a lot
of myths about buffalos.
The ones who were in the village had a lot
of myths about their village. If they were in the Northeast,
they had different kinds of myths about what they were familiar with
in their environment. But basically they believed in some
mystical experience, and they followed it.
So the same thing happened with this belief. Also they came
originally from the same place, and they evolved within different
places differently.
As we increase our communication between humans, the cultures are
also going to become more and more like each other. Even fifty
years ago we did not know what was happening in Iraq. We did
not even care.
Now we know more about Islam. We
know more about their culture. We know more about the culture of the
west and the east, and they are mixing with each other. So
even if you do not do anything and just sit here, eventually the
cultures are going to mix up and the people are going to know each
other better.
I could not even come here and start this
Mission if the airplane and all these things were not
provided to do this.
2. One of these
branches was the Aryans who lived in the steppes in Europe and
Russia (some believe they lived in the North Pole!)
One of the branches that left the original
land and was scattered was the Aryan Race that lived in the steppes
of Europe. They believe that at the time they were there,
there was not much of a civilization. They were the most
civilized people.
Some people believe that they were living
at the North Pole at the time it was warm. Then suddenly the ice age
came, and it covered their land. As it covered their land,
they had to move down south and went to Europe. One branch
went to Asia.
3. These people moved
to Europe and Asia. Later they split into two branches.
One went to India and the other to Iran.
Actually, Iran means “the land of the
Aryans.” The very name, Iran, means the land of the Aryans.
So that is why the Hindu-European languages are shared with Europe,
with India, and with the old Persian language, not the new one.
The new one is influenced more with Arabic.
4. The branch in India
met the black population that was in the Indian continent (brought
from Africa) and eventually mixed with them (Shiva and his mixing of
the two cultures).
Shiva was a black person. He also was very spiritual. He
meditated in graves. He created the Tantra way of going to the
higher level of consciousness.
He
married a white Aryan and they started mixing the cultures together
and created the olive-skinned people. Still if you go to
India, the northern Indians are whiter than the southern Indians.
They are darker in skin.
5. India became the
guardian to continue the Mystical Paths. That is why their
religion is the oldest religion on earth and is vast and all
inclusive (in many ways!)
So
we can see the Indian or Hindu Religion actually is the prominent
Mystical Path that we emphasize in the Mission. It
probably covers more topics related to Mystical Paths than any other
path that we also call the Mystical Paths.
6. The branch in Iran
converted to Zoroastrianism.
So there is a Prophet who came and brought
the religion of Zoroastrian.
The Zoroastrian Religion and Its Influence on
Other Religions
1. The Prophet of the
Zoroastrian religion was Zoroaster.
2. He brought the
concept of duality in religions as good (God – Ahoramazda) and evil
(Devil – Ahriman).
That
was the first religion. Hinduism is a monastic religion.
It means it does not believe in good and evil. Evil is the
lower nature. It is not some being out there called evil that
is going to come and misguide you. Of course, they have
different, unclean spirits that can affect you, etc.
But they do not have anything called “devil,” in Hinduism. If
you go to a Hindu, a real Hindu who has never heard about
Christianity or anything and tell him “devil,” he will say, “What is
devil? There is only one God.” The rest is the lower
nature and falling.
But for the first time that was the teaching that brought the
concept of evil and good. And Zoroaster taught that there is a
struggle going on between evil and good in this world. He said
that everything was good in the beginning. Well, that is what
the Bible says too. Actually, it influenced the Bible.
3. Abram/Abraham was
Persian and a follower of Zoroaster (was a follower of the
Zoroastrian religion!)
So
we can say that he was in Babel. But the religion of Zoroaster
spread in Persia and went all the way to many other cultures.
Most probably Abram was someone who moved from Iran or Persia and
went to Babylonia, and he started opposing the statue worshipping.
So that is a speculation that he really was Persian, or does it have
some truth in it?
4. Cyrus the King of
Persia knew this (he helped the Hebrews).
Why
did the King of Persia destroy the Assyrians but was very good to
the Hebrews? Most probably it was because he believed that the
Hebrews were a part of his culture, a part of his race. They
were Persian, and that is why he was very good to them.
He brought them back to Iran. He gave them equal rights with
the Persians because he knew they were a part of them.
5. The Magis knew this
also (they came to Christ and brought Him gifts, etc.)
Why
did the Magis believe that? It was because they believed that
the Messiah, or a Savior, was going to come from Zoroastrian
descendents. That was their belief. Actually, the whole
idea of the Savior, the Son of God coming from the Virgin was a part
of the teaching of Mithra in the Zoroastrian Religion. They
were waiting for this Savior to come, and that is why they followed
the star. They came and found him because they knew also that
the Hebrews are from the same race.
That is why they believed that he was
going to come from Persia. And he was Persian because he was
from the same race.
6. Muslims knew this
(they spared the Zoroastrian religion as they also believed in one
God and were the people who influenced Judaism and eventually
Islam).
When
the Moslems conquered Iran, the Zoroastrian people were the only
ones that they did not try to convert. They left the people
alone when they were there, and they converted them very slowly
because they also knew that they influenced Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam, and they were themselves partly from that race.
Who
are the Arabs? The Arabs are the Children of Abram, right?
And if Abram was Persian, they are also part Persian. So that
is why when they went to Iran they spared them. And still we
have some Zoroastrians in India called Parsies. There are
hundreds of thousands of them who live in India.
7. Since He knew about
the Invisible God, Abram/Abraham opposed idol worshipping and
believed in One God: Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal
(FINE).
If you remember, I have
told you a story about Abraham and the idols. Remember what
happened?
He left Persia and went to this
culture that they were worshipping idols. He told them, “Do
not worship idols. Worship the Formless, Invisible, Nameless
God.” And they would not do it. They would not listen to
him.
One day they went out for a picnic or
something, out of the city. Abram took a hammer, destroyed all
the small gods, and put the hammer in the hand of the big god.
The people came and saw that all their idols were destroyed.
They knew who did it. They found Abram and said, “Abram, come
here. You killed all these gods.”
He said, “No, I did not do it. The big god became angry and
smashed all of the small ones.”
They said, “No, he cannot do that.”
Abram said, “Why not? He is god.”
They said, “No, he is just a statue.”
Abram said, “Why do you worship him then?” [Laughter]
8. He (Abram/Abraham)
was chosen to start another part of God’s Plan (to know this part of
His Plan, read our lecture on the
Second Seal).
We will stop
here today. We will start the rest of the lecture tomorrow.
Sal-OM everyone.
Part II – October 13, 2003
We are going to have a lecture today.
To begin let us close our eyes for a couple of seconds, bring our
energy together, bring God among us, and let God come through all of
us, me as the giver of the lecture, and you as receivers of the
Truth of God. Sal-OM.
Well, if you remember we discussed yesterday… Does anyone
remember what we discussed? |
