The Truth
As with most philosophies we do not claim to have originated all of these ideas. Truth is ancient and is the underpinning of all rational thought. There are those who say that there are no original ideas. With respect to the notion that Jesus did not die on a cross there are numerous sources that dispute that claim. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Second Treatise of the Great Seth, we find that “it was another…who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I. They struck me with the reed; it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of thorns. But I was rejoicing in the height…And I was laughing over their ignorance.” If one has the initiative to search out publications of the Rosae Crucis, he will find in works dealing with the Mystical Life of Jesus and The Secret Teachings of Jesus information that supports the notion that not only did Jesus not die on the cross, but also that he continued the inner work of his teachings for many years later in an Essene community. And in the Gospel of Philip we find that, “I have suffered none of the things which they say of me; even that suffering which I showed to you and the rest in my dance, I will that it be called a mystery.” You may question these and other related sources, but the fact remains that there is a difference of opinion regarding the truth of the crucifixion.
There has been much talk recently regarding various ancient codes that, when properly analyzed, may reveal truths that contradict common wisdom. In a book titled The Cipher of Genesis by Carlo Suares we see the Qabalah as a means to decipher ancient scripture. In this book we find that “woman does not issue from a rib of Adam; she is not called Eve; she does not disobey; there is no question of sin.” These notions would obviously not sit well with those who insist that the path to salvation is to go to their church every week. What is perhaps even more profound in the Cipher is a totally different interpretation of man’s origin and purpose. Using the Qabalah as a code buster we see the following:
“The problem is how to preserve the Elohimic seed, buried deep in a primitive, coarse, brutal human substance, hopelessly incapable of deconditioning itself.”
“It is the creation of a container, of a living garment of protection for the seed of humanity-to-be, capable of not only sheltering it but also of living in symbiosis with it…until the time of the necessary ripening and ultimate destruction of the shell.”
“The Qabalah also knows YHWH is not a deity but an immanence which can become alive and active when the two vitalities in us, the container and the contained, fecundate each other.”
“The Qabalah insists on the significance of the name Adam: dam in Hebrew means blood. Within it is hidden Aleph.”
“YHWH had become incarnate in his son Cain and the simple presence of the timeless and indeterminate Cain had been enough to burst the bad of blood called Abel.”
“In him (Abel), the seed of humanity-to-be could not live.”
“The objective historical fact is that from that time on, a covenant has been established between YHWH and Israel in its flesh and life evolving towards a higher state of humanity.”
“…Genesis proposes a total reversal of our so-called thinking, which for thousands of years has immersed us in our dreams. This reversal may be understood by asking ourselves whether all of the phenomenon of our consciousness…whether all of these are elements contained in our mind, or if, on the contrary, they are our containers…”
All of these quotes are very heady and our goal here is not to bore you with in-depth metaphysical interpretations; that is your job. The point, however, is that humanity’s origin is more sacred than one would imagine and that our destiny is to achieve a level of greatness that surpasses all notions promulgated by most organized religions. To them we are evil and unworthy to stand at the throne of Deity. These quotes paint a different picture wherein man is Deity incarnate. Furthermore, the life we live may very well be a dream state in which we have been lost in our own self-made illusion. Remember even in scripture (Christian) Jesus says, “Did I not say ye are gods?” Genesis 6:4 states: “…the sons of Elohim came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them.” No matter how you cut it, we are ALL sons and daughters of God.
