- The Teachings of TheWay and the Transmigration of the Soul (Introduction to the Nazirene Gospel - Part II):
This world responds to the manner in which we live it, reacting to our own needs (there are no accidents). Awareness of our condition – past, present, future. Every action in this world invokes a responding reaction in the Spiritual realms – workings of the Laws
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, the Tree of Life (paradoxical forces of Creation). The Divine Pattern – understanding the Oneness and harmony in all of Creation, rather than perceiving duality and division from a limited vision
The unwillingness to change and pick up one’s cross – Christian rhetoric and excuses (past & present). Misunderstanding Paul
Journey of the pre-existing soul – conditions of our birth, knowing what we must overcome. Reincarnation in Scripture and historical context (from the time of Jesus to Justinian, 553 A.D.)
“Beasts in the body of men” – understanding the animal nature. The Living and the Dead. To be Known by God – Spiritual man. Man is born of two worlds – heaven and earth. Paradoxical Truths, “God’s Love.”
Division and Oneness – overcoming our own divided nature, Inner Armageddon and Spiritual Birth, Parable of the Prodigal Son (the far country, dwelling in the Kingdom)
The outer world as a reflection of the inner. This world is feminine in relation to the Realm of Souls {we dwell within the Womb of Mother-God}
Superficial elements of this world, effects of embracing the temporal culture – surrendering the opportunity for Life
The nature of the Soul and reincarnation. Immature souls that never made any attempt to seek the spiritual nature, and the mature souls (guides) that are given the opportunity to grow to a level of perfection
The Royal Law of God – do unto others as you would have done to you, cherish all life, seek to know the Truth and life that Truth to its highest ideal. Embracing the Word. The Paradox of Reincarnation – who will return? Who is a true Christian? The commandment of Jesus to “go and sin no more” and the Law of Grace {Reincarnation and Pre-Ordination}
