Eye on esoteric Christian Part 1

Esoteric

There is more to truth and reality that the elementary spirits who want to continue and have effect. What often appears more comfortable to sit in the dark where we see nothing to face the blinding light. Is the blindness of the same in both cases? The first is a happy ignorance, the latter shock initial – but ultimately provides solace for the soul. It is the brave man who seeks the truth, no matter how painful or shocking as is. This paper does not represent the truth, just give directions to him. Because there are those who seek the truth, humanity can be classified into two distinct groups:

1) "most" of believers, committed and satisfied with the precepts of their faith and resistant to any teaching that contradicts and modify their beliefs and faith, higher education, including the revelations of the Paraclete, or Holy Spirit.

2) "" Soon, search engines, which are a bit bored with irrational beliefs and religions that do not meet the intelligence nor the growing awareness of interiority, and the search for spiritual knowledge and experience to fill an empty heart spiritual desire. San Martin, co-founder Martin Del calls this second group, "Men of desire."

The realization of this division in humanity since the spring of life, of superior intelligence, which oversees the evolution of man made religions, with sections of double that participation in these two types of men. It has been recognized by the spiritual guardians, spirits "lesser" by Martin that the masses of the rights are still too childish to participate in their own salvation and the development of divinity. Only a few had the capacity to do so. Religion, therefore, has its mysteries, esoteric aspect, established for the care and feeding the few who are qualified to receive the highest teachings to awaken and stimulate the development of divine consciousness, the seed potential Christhood or Buddhahood, and set firmly on the path of discipleship that can learn about the Holy Spirit.

"But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory. "(1 Cor: 2:7)

Religion, to be valid, must reach the heart of men standing at different stages of the evolutionary ladder, as shown in the symbolism of the dream of Jacob. Their doctrines and precepts should include teaching basic and advanced cosmic laws that help men in achieving the three ancient injunction: "Know you, you know God, and we know the enemy. "Lessons unsuited to so-called" esoteric. "St. Paul called Mana as "meat" as opposed to "milk" suitable for the many – and girls "- those whose soul experience, development staff and awareness are still at the elementary level. Origen, an early fathers of Christianity, taught that only when members the congregation the church has not ill side would esoteric or mysterious secret is revealed. Sinners told not to sin, But despite the simplicity of this provision, the first Christian was hard put this doctrine into practice, and the sincere seekers, therefore, became scarce. Little by little the narrow gate "and close the door" was closed and removed from the Christian institution and the existence forgotten lay members and priests like. The keys "for the United sky and are not in the hands of the successors of the apostle Peter – the nature even these "key" is unknown to most religious of God, indeed the lay disciple. This is not aware of its existence.

Today, leaders deceive their followers as blind blindly with a hello is based on a misinterpretation of Scripture. But this condition has always existed in the past in the temples of religious education. The Lord Jesus was very noisy on these errors the leaders of the spiritual law.

Religion in its original intent, was intended to convey the minds and hearts of men in a given time, in your wisdom Secret Mental and spiritual age. Humanity should be responsible for his own salvation and freedom from the bondage of matter. Since human evolves and progresses towards the light, the revelation should be continuous to meet the ongoing quest for rights, awareness and understanding the nature of being, the ontology of his soul. Resistance to new revelations about the Comforter, "is an act of bigotry and is the evolutionary impulse of resistance to stop and extend the sleep of consciousness in the tomb of matter. It has been challenged by Gnosis, Ancient Wisdom, and the gradual revelation that caused the esoteric side of religion, especially Christianity, to formally withdraw outdoor work, exoteric and how the secret societies and orders, preserving the secret teachings in the folder. This side esoteric religion that breathes life into the institution as a whole. Religion without the mystical aspect becomes a farce, a farce, and a fertile ground for corruption. Dogmas and creeds and religions simply unfounded insult human intelligence, and rebellion of the human soul to struggle enlightenment comes as a natural result.

The prophets and sages, exhibitors gnosis, religions and societies founded with the intention to lead the masses of several steps forward in its ascent towards the Light. They even gave evidence of an advanced method that can accelerate spiritual development of those who tread this path. The Lord Jesus gave the "narrow gate and narrow." Jeremiah Omneity as a scribe and spokesperson suggested that humanity "… Ask the beaten track." (Jer 6:16) "Many stories can be found in the Scriptures are representative technical manuals for the practice of spiritual development. For example, we have Jacob's Ladder, the experience of Elijah House, the various steps of Moses meeting with the Divine, the Merkabah or sky car Ezekiel, 40 days fast of Jesus on the mountain with manifestations of Satan in the life of Jesus etc.

Many precepts, rituals, dogmas and principles of Christianity originated in the ancient religions and mystery schools. Maybe whether a comparative study of religions made. For example, the doctrine of heaven and hell, the Last Judgement, the mediation of the logos on behalf of hello of humanity, and the Eucharist – all have their counterpart in the cult of Mithra, the Zoroastrian and the Essenes. It is also in the field of probability the enlightened minds of the founders of religion is lit with the same illumination of the Spirit on the cosmic laws of the universe, which will continue until the last light of God. This would explain the many similarities between different religions. The truth is eternal and immutable, as it is one. The truth is in the form can vary from culture to culture, from age to age, but its essential nature is always the same. The founders of religions have been and are extraordinary creatures, from the perspective of humanity ignorant. However, all illuminated teaching opportunity the man to reach the state itself of the divine divine spirituality and develop their potential to emulate the great who played for the show way to Moksha, freedom.

Part of the Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom Bodhisattvas, have been recorded in ancient writings as the Avesta, the Vedas, the Tao The Ching, the Book of Dzan, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and many other books considered apocryphal. Some aspects of ancient wisdom has been transmitted orally from master to Chela, as the Kabbalah of Judaism, for example.

Esoteric Christianity, as a collective practice current corresponding to bhakti, raja, jnana, Kundalini, Laya, and karma yoga, gnosis is taught by Lord Jesus to a small circle of students. His precepts and doctrines are based on ancient wisdom. Jesus, however, revealed the more advanced aspects of Gnosticism followers of the new dispensation, the Age of Pisces and Aquarius. Yet even his most all said that there were more lessons that are not yet qualified to receive:

"I have many things to say, but you can now bear." (John 16:12)

Here Jesus refers to the continuity of revelation and the promise will be an increase in teaching time. The question is, "are the followers of Christianity today to receive the teachings of this century? "It's the nature of these teachings known?

There was a traditional belief in the early days of the early Church that Jesus remained with his disciples for a long period after His ascension, to educate them on gnosis. A Gnostic work entitled "Pistis Sophia" declares that Jesus was with his eleven disciples after the resurrection. San Iraneus Bishop Lyon, agree with this belief, although most of those who are attacked, if not all, of the other Gnostic ideas. In his book "Against Heresies, wrote that the Apostles themselves had testified that Jesus lived to old age. In this regard, wonders in the report of the tomb of Jesus in Srinagar, India, as has been done by local Indians who live in the region.

A School Modern Esoteric Christianity, Gnosticism Launcher candidate transmission were divided into two parts:

1) Purification Mysteries – for sinner who wants to be cleansed of karmic patterns and stains.

2) The mysteries of light – for those who want to analyze and understand the reality and Maya, the microcosm and the macrocosm, etc.

The originators of Gnosticism are spiritual mythical Peters, who guards the pearly gates of heaven. They have the keys enlightenment, knowledge and principles to help the candidate to enter Paradise, the Kingdom of God within your consciousness – the place where Jesus says it would be – in yourself and not another life or, in some physical location on the earth. His parables are sufficient to convince one of them.

The existence of the esoteric teachings of Christianity referred to by some church fathers as Origen, Clement of Alexandria and San Ignacio. They commended the high and mystical teachings have proclaimed from the roofs had been no opposition to the dull mind of men in the world, including some were dressed in the garb of priests. This was done by Origen, and was anathema centuries later by the Emperor chaired the Ecumenical Council in 553 AD Justinius V. Many of the works of Origen were condemned to the flames. We mentioned earlier how Gnosticism has been removed from public consciousness. The councils convened during centuries later, gnosis replaced by beliefs and dogmas impious longer reflects the original teachings of Jesus.

Among students of esotericism are those who see Joseph of Arimathea had been the guardian of the church esoteric Christianity, and "Pedro" was considered the head of the temporary church. The esoteric Church was called the Church of the secret of the Grail. "According to the story, Joseph, a secret disciple of Jesus, was went to Glastonbury, England, taking with him a few relics of his full divine power. Among these relics was the Holy Grail, the chalice used by Jesus At the Last Supper "and the spear that wounded him while he was nailed to the cross. Because of corruption within the church in subsequent years, the Grail has disappeared from the physical plane. The Knights of the Round Table was created by King Arthur and Merlin, the Holy Grail. Indeed, research has probably occurred in the soul, the Grail, a point of view, it symbolizes a spiritual principle in human beings. It is said that only the pure can see God. Sir Galahad, a young man who found the Grail, according to a version of the Grail legend, representatives of human nature purified. This Only in this purified state is possible for man to "see" God – and live – to live, but not as a mere mortal in the lower aspects of his being there "death" of the consumption of God, the flame of transmutation.

Gnosticism

The Order of the Grail is not the only branch of esoteric Christianity. Gnostics claim they were also made to the secret teachings of Jesus, a doctrine "Heart" sent to them by the apostles and least known as Mark Thomas. In the spirit of the Gnostics, Peter always stood side esoteric Christianity. Some claim that the Gnostic Simon Magus was the founder of Gnosticism. Nothing is known about this mysterious character, except that in the Proceedings of the New Testament, Peter was faced with a psychological battle and was defeated. Many believe that this story was fabricated by priests to discredit the esoteric Gnostic Christianity as a whole.

Gnosis, which is derived from the word gnosis is derived from the Greek word "Gnostikos" which means he is aware. Is defined by Bishop John Bricaud esoteric as in his book Christian Doctrine

"The supreme religious knowledge, which is the true knowledge of the three worlds divine, spiritual, physical, and their relationships."

Gnosticism introduces students to research methods and secrets of the soul entering the inside depth. Beliefs and faith not only defended the teachings of the Gnostic teachers.

San Iraneus, as mentioned earlier, for the Gnostics attacked by their mystical ideas. He said their spiritual literature, their gospels, as full of blasphemy. It is easy to see why he Iraneus opposed to his doctrines. Gnosticism offers direct access to applicants Omneity, and this condition very shaken the position of priests as intermediaries, known as the only valid method for search engines to approach God. Gnostics their side, opposite the three conditions in the Orthodox Christianity: doctrine, ritual and hierarchy. The ancient Gnostics were people who sought knowledge and wisdom, pragmatically, to through personal experience. From their point of view, the doctrine taught by Jesus were more important than the man himself. Reality historical Jesus was not a major problem whatsoever. The mystical and mythical Christ was their only concern, their guide and ideal. Laws God, our relationship with truth and reality – a Gnostic were more important than the personality of the example of these revelations. For them take the second coming of Christ mystical place in the self-consciousness. Basilides, Valentín, Marco, and Marcion were some of the Gnostics who shaped leading Gnostic thought.

Gnosticism, like many other cults and businesses, has ended in many schisms caused by differences in the interpretation truth. Absolute Truth is inapprehendable by human intelligence. relative truth have this strange feature of presenting different facets of the absolute truth as a point of view rings true, both are false, and yet another, makes no difference.

In 1945, Egypt, Nag Hamaddi, some Gnostic manuscripts were discovered, including the Gospel of Thomas. This work is a collection of sayings of Jesus, and is considered by some researchers as the main source of Jesus' words in the four canonical Gospels. Let us briefly discuss some of those who will found in the Gospel.

"Blessed is the man who eats the lion that the lion becomes a man. Maldito is the man who eats for a lion man becomes a lion. "(Gospel of Thomas Saying No 7)

The significance of this statement is similar to No.116:

"Cursed is the flesh that depends on the soul, and curse the soul that depends on the flesh "(Ibid. say No.116)

The carnal self, or nature bestial man is often presented as a lion. alchemical writers in the past made use of this symbolism at length. To consume a lion is the process to transform and sublimate the drives of the weak man. This is consistent with the evolutionary impulse that is asked for more pulses of the spiritual nature rights. A hand, to allow the animal instinct to rule and tyrannize the higher aspects of our being is in a figurative sense, be eaten by the lion, to allow your personality that overlaps with our real selves. This is one way to worship an idol, a false god, deceives the senses and the conscience of man in the maze of Maya. Man must identify with his Atma, your spiritual nature, and not conclude that the decline of their principles to their desires are reality. The attachment to the outcome of the meat in the suffering and pain, and man is cursed by terms that binds his soul to the wheel of birth and rebirth, as kindly pointed out by Gautama Buddha. This divine messenger of God gave us the road to eight times as a means of escaping the unrest in the soul. Christ gave us the commandment of love, if you live and apply them in our thoughts and feelings the yoke of the fragment to the plenary.

"Happy the man who worked, who found life" (ibid. Say No 63)

objective consciousness of man is in a state of death – spiritual death. It moves, and think of God as being a zombie. Blind to the reality and potential divine spiritual truths, the man is based too much on science and religion that blunts irreligious stimulation mental and non-scientific and emotions of an artificial life, machining, which degrades the soul. Life is reality, and those who seek life, it is necessary to intensify work in the vineyard of the soul to raise awareness of the Kingdom of God. Everything is temporary, transient, is unreal. Nothing in this world in three dimensions is a reality in the absolute sense, because everything is in a state of flux of becoming. Real does not change. Dependence conditions, relations and objects in this unreal world for mental well-being and emotional security and upsets the balance of the final body spirit and soul and results in lack of harmony, in sickness and in suffering. The disease is the lack of life force in abundance. God is life, life in the physical body of man in the blood. The denial of the existence of God inside and outside of us is to deny the foundation of our existence, the life force of our being. One school of thought, the break occurs on a spiritual level with all the principles or components man understands that refusal to be an incarnation of the steady state after the incarnation. The closer to lamentable situation that could get to the essence of life, therefore, God to survive spiritually is through blood. This explains the actions depravity of those who are involved in the blood of sacrifice vampirism and murder.

The region offers a great challenge for the ego. Featured Jobs etherialization resistance, development and mastery of the man with the price development of its self-Christ. No other being can do this for us proxy. We ran this condition us for our requirement of free will into higher states of existence. It is mission and the prerogatives of man to save his soul and thus acquire a greater life, greater awareness, a higher state of being, and to secure for itself a permanent place in the Kingdom of God as a pillar of perfection.

"Whoever is near me is near the fire, and which is far from Me is far from the kingdom. "(Ibid., n ° 86)

The fire referred to here is the spark of God in the heart of man. This spark is the divine aspect of man buried in the area. It is the sun in the solar system and is the source of life in the body. Hindu mystics It was described as being called divine meditation on the heart chakra Anahata. They called this divine spark "Dahar" which means "small" with "shades of brightness."
