And Noah builded an altar...
(Genesis 8:20)
<1>With the
third eye of man
closed, he no longer had direct access to the spiritual
understandings. So the truth of the spirit was revealed to him
through the sons of
God (in this age, Noah) in
abstract and symbolic ways, "and Noah builded an altar...." Man
started to worship
God in a gross state as
building altars and giving material and burnt offerings.
<2>However the deeper truth of the universe
and man was entrusted to a few Great Souls who preserved it for
those who were worthy to receive it. The essence of this knowledge
eventually became the base of the
Mystical Paths
in most of the earth. The oldest written materials in this regard
are the three books of the
Vedas or
Scripture of the Hindus. These
Mystical Paths
should be understood, practiced, and realized in order to awaken the
latent spiritual forces (
)
of the human.
<3>However, to study only these teachings
without understanding the other truths which underlie
The Greatest
Sign, might lead to escapism, and that
God does not like (Revelation
3:14-22 in the
book
Revelation of The Revelation).
<4>Those who try to reach
Pure
Consciousness with selfish pursuance of mastering themselves
"only" and escaping the world, will be "spue[d] out of His mouth" (Rev.
3:16), which is back to the misery of this external world. So
they will be forced to help others in their struggle toward
Pure Consciousness.
<5>However, these practices and knowledge of
the
Mystical Paths (Far
East Philosophies) are highly recommended, especially
contemplation,
meditation,
reflection, study of the Scriptures, and those practices which help
a person to calm his
mind and realize the
self and
God: "Be still, and know
that I am
God" (Psalms 46:10).
Eventually he should be able to direct these energies and knowledge
toward helping others to reach higher consciousness.
<6>After the flood of Noah, humanity was
divided into five different types, as workers (Shudras),
warriors (Ksattriyas),
intellectuals (Vipras),
business-minded ones (Vaeshyas),
and seers or masters (Brahmins).
(For more detail read
The Holiest Book
chapters 9 and 10 of Genesis in that book).
<7>The true spiritual knowledge was entrusted
to this Brahmin class, and they guided the new man in their
spiritual needs.
And the whole earth was of one language, and
of one speech.
(Genesis 11:1)
...for in his days was the earth divided;...
(Genesis 10:25)
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence
upon the face of all the earth:...
(Genesis 11:8)
<8>However, still the humans had telepathic
abilities and they could understand each other through these
abilities ("...the whole earth was of one language,..."). So they
again started to use this great communicative ability and their
intellect for their selfish use and mundane desires. <9>This
misuse of the powers is always based on egotism and will lead to
self-destruction, "...let us build us a city and tower, whose top
may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." (Gen. 11:4).
<10>So they wanted to make a city with great
towers to make themselves a name (become famous) and also to stay
together, "lest we be scattered abroad...." <11>But
God
not only wants them to be scattered abroad upon the earth, but also
to other planets.
<12>Therefore
God
took away their telepathic abilities and made them become confused
by their different languages, "...every one after his tongue,..."
(Genesis 10:5, 20, 31).
<13>Also by dividing the earth and destroying the land they
were in, "...in his days was the earth divided..." (Gen. 10:25), He
forced them to leave their land and they were scattered all over the
world.
<14>The spiritual masters who foresaw this
destruction left their land before it occurred and took their
knowledge with them. <15>One of these groups (Aryans) went to
the Himalayas and India, and the
Vedas are what
is left from their knowledge.
<16>So the first seal ()
in
The Greatest
Sign is related to the awakening of the spiritual forces. However, it is the first step in spiritual progress.
