Hell, or the Avernus, has three gates: Lust, Anger, and Greed.
-Lust takes us to lose consciousness and fall deep into animal character away from all divinity and illumination–godly states which are the very essence of Love.
-Anger spawns all kinds of agitation in the mind, it clouds judgement, and brings all diseases into our system by lowering the vibrations of our being.
-But greed is the very nature of what we may call evil. Greed fills the mind and it makes it want more and more–i.,e., more and better food, more sex, more money, more things, even more knowledge.
Society is built around greed, it cannot survive without it; this works subconsciously so it plants the seeds in the psyche of the ignorant masses, thus nobody thinks they are being greedy. Being greedy is a sin unto yourself, to your better evolution as a human and spiritual being. But nobody becomes truly aware of their greediness, do they…?? Do you…?? It is easy to notice the greediness of the world instead of your own, isn’t it…?? The reason why the mind of the human creature must be self-aware at all times, no exceptions.
Pursuing pleasures mindlessly and obsessively is greed, which most of the time will act subconsciously in you; and the only cure for this is a constant self-awareness. Greed is everywhere you look, even dressed in religious and saintly clothing. Fear is pursuing these pleasures, and when fear exists in the mind/when the pursuit of pleasure exists in the mind then all love for God and for your true self is gone.
…So, man and woman were created, two essences from one, a very psychic and sexual duality, two extremes of the same pole in need of divine balance. The temptations and The Gates of Hell were opened, there, unveiled for the eyes to see and the heart to feel; therefore, the world descended into the Third Dimension of suffering and ignorance–i.e., the dimension of Euclid, the dimension of the vain senses of the physical, the infernal and unconscious worlds, etc.
And so, the divine was lost to humanity…
“The Very Ungodly Hour.”
First was Adam and he alone, O, the divine, masculine form; Then Eve was light from the first man, She was his way to the divine plan. The circle was beginning and He knew it, The Elohim the sexual essence had split. There was love, purity, virtue, ascension; For The Eden was our Fourth Dimension. But the land was cursed and man fell, The Great Serpent had weaved the spell; So the mind knew The Peak of Sex now, The Devil was summoned somehow.
The world was unconscious, away from God; For man and woman were wicked and proud. The Sacred Cup of Hermes had been spilled, Thus man and woman were never fulfilled. The Seven Churches within man were lost, The Sexual Science to the Inferno tossed. Man had descended to The Third Dimension, He had blasphemed without comprehension. The Waters of The Earth are the Creative Power, But The Veil is thick in The Very Ungodly Hour. Does not the drunk animal need sobriety…?? Yes, the unconscious mind to wake up in piety.
Meditation can only exist when there is absolute stillness in the mind. A still mind has no desires, no needs, no fears, no voices, no movement at all. If a mind is keeping track of the time, or if it is thinking about the next thing to do after meditation is over, or if it is traveling to other places or accessing imagination, then this mind is not in meditation; hence why meditation is the practice of no-mind thinking, because your mind or ego is not moving thoughts–i.e., it is an absolutely free mind guided by The Infinite. And the mind is divine, a way to ascension and higher communion with The Infinite; however, the ego, its absurd content, that drilling and loud voice telling you how to live, what to think, and what to do during waking hours, is not free.
You may think the ego gives you freedom, because it gives you choices influenced by the flawed society and by your own ignorant conditioning; but that is just one of the lies you tell yourself in order not to actually meditate. Now, one thing to understand, even though most people deceive themselves, is that meditation is not the same as mindfulness. Mindfulness is to be aware of the moment, of what you are doing; but it is another, more peaceful way to use the mind and its ego, to move thoughts and ideas around–i.e., mindfulness, as wonderful as it is, can never bring truth or illumination.
Truth and illumination exist beyond mind, so you seek them beyond mind; that is, in a state of no-mind, in a state of absolute freedom, where the ego cannot cross and guide you anymore–i.e., the state of meditation. No books, no institutions, no prayers, no I.Q., no angels, can give you a higher state of awareness where you receive truth and freedom by intuition; but only serious meditation can do that. The dormant strands of your DNA cannot be awakened and fired up by your conscious mind and its ego; but only by the divine and infinite energies residing in the wonderful state of no-mind.
The symbolisms hidden in The Bible for the true seeker, for the mystical ones, are many:
Thomas’s Jesus, in the ‘Gospel of Thomas,’ is a dispenser of wisdom, not the crucified and resurrected Lord. Jesus speaks of the kingdom: “The kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.”
So, why did Jesus die at 33 then…?? What is the symbolism and the message hidden there…?? The Bible is a sacred book hiding messages for the true seeker. So, why 33…?? The vertebral column consists of 33 vertebrae–this is named ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ in The Bible. Symbolically, as Jacob climbs this ladder (our vertebral column) of 33 steps he is filled with divinity and names the top ‘Peniel ‘(Pineal Gland; Peniel: Penis-El – The Cubic Stone of Yesod in Kabbalah – The Sacred Philopher’s Stone of the Alchemist). Hanukkah (the Jewish holiday) symbolizes the ‘Oil of Christ,’ which is our own spinal fluid, which rises up through the spinal column as the Kundalini energy connects the 7 chakras and then reaches the Pineal Gland/Peniel/the spiritual Third Eye.
Now the sacred oil (spinal fluid) has reached ‘Golgotha’ or ‘The Place of The Skull,’ then it is ‘Crucified’ there (Crucified symbolizes a reach in intensity, an increment in power), and then the sacred oil remains two days and a half (the moon’s period in zodiac signs every month) in the tomb (in the cere- bellum) and on the third day ascends to the Pineal Gland which connects the cerebellum with the Optic Thalmus, the Central Eye in the ‘Throne of God’–that is, the chamber overtopped by the hollow (hallowed) caused by the curve of the cerebrum (the “Most High” of the body) which is the “Temple of the Living God.” And then Enlightenment happens! Thus Christ goes up to Golgotha, gets crucified, and on the third day (Third Eye) achieves Enlightenment.
The number 33 hides a very esoteric meaning. Some hidden meanings are:
Jesus was crucified at the age of 33 – In 33 A.D. Jesus also performed 33 written miracles – The divine name Elohim appears 33 times in the opening chapter of the Genesis creation story – The Vedic Religion has 33 deities (33 Gods/Devas.) – Number 33 is considered a Master Number in Numerology, which means that it resonates at a higher vibration than other numbers – in Mathematics 33 is the largest positive integer which cannot be expressed as a sum of different triangular numbers – 33 is the atomic number of arsenic (important chemical element) – There are 33 degrees in Scottish Rite Freemasonry – And many other hidden meanings…
The story in Genesis: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now, the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.” …
Art rendering of The Elohim creating the worlds and separating light from darkness.
Now, one thing to be understood is that the correct word in Hebrew is ‘Elohim,’ and Elohim is not ‘God’ as most Christians have been falsely led to believe. Elohim is more like a plural word which means ‘God and Goddess,’ it refers to the masculine and feminine forces; in short, Elohim relates to those archetypes that are trying to come into being, that are trying “to become”–the forces in us.
All the creation in Genesis is not an outer creation, but an inner one, it all speaks about our sexual energy–which is what creates, which is what can also take us to hell or to heaven, to wickedness or to illumination (depending on how we use that force). So God or Elohim, the masculine and feminine forces, work in us. There are many symbolisms here and occult secrets of sexual alchemy (which require a higher understanding to be revealed), but the main thing is that it is talking about the Kundalini Fire. “The Spirit of God” (which is the Holy Ghost and the true passion for higher divinity and love in us) was hovering “The waters” (which is the seminal fluid and the Kundalini Fire of our sexual energy.
Day represents the divine being in us when the light of Christ (the Solar Divinity, Amun Ra, the Cosmic Christ) shines in our spiritual life. The night is lalil or in other words Lilith, Delilah, the tempting serpent, the tempting woman, who is inside of us. Genesis describes how the lights emerge, but are not yet developed in us. The climbing way of ascension, of illumination, is the spinal column in us, that Kundalini Fire that rises if we purify ourselves and not spill the seed (much more to be understood by this).
Michelangelo said once that he just saw the figures trapped in the stone, and that all he did was to liberate them in sculpting and perfecting that same stone, purifying that same stone. We are imperfect. Our ways are imperfect. It is a rough stone. Divinity, illumination, The Greater Being has not been drawn out of the stone yet. The sexual energy must be purified through the alchemical transformation, sex is the lab of the true alchemist–where The Philosopher’s Stone lies hidden, he must purify himself and find it to ascend through the higher union in sex magic…
But all this I wrote here is not meant to be fully understood, perhaps you do understand it, perhaps you do not; however, this is indeed meant for you to get some deeper understanding on The Creation hidden in Genesis, and maybe you will get a desire to find out further hidden mysteries for yourself…
The creation of the internal worlds as hidden in Genesis.
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation, neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!; for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” ~ Luke 17:20-21. All life is, all the symbolisms in the holy books of the world and also in your Bible, all the angels, all the demons, all the dimensions and states of vibration–they are indeed in you, beyond that egoistical state of infernal descend which characterizes the mediocrity and ignorance of the superficial man.
The human mind and its capacity for greater awareness obeys the structural chemistry of the brain, and you carry out the actions to form your brain; therefore to build connections and synapses is to rule your life based on strategies for greater evolution–i.e., routine exercise, balanced nutrition, good and sound entertainment, study of elevating books, etc. etc. These I have mentioned are some of the ways to structure your brain, to form greater capacities of awareness in the great lab of your physiology, of your being, ways to purify the mind from the world’s pollution; however, this is the start, for these are just mechanical ways to prepare the vessel/yourself. These ways are the ways of observation, as such is the observation of the conscious structure of your brain and its chemistry.
Ascension, the Kingdom of God, comes not only with observation though; but with the formation of greater awareness, which calls for a great understanding of yourself, thus of the world and its symbols. You must live the Divine Word in yourself, in your everyday actions, and not just intellectually repeat it like a parrot; and so, this calls for an individual grace which does not belong to the world or to anyone around you. You must seek, study, experience, and so guide yourself in the mystical truths; and all in order to ascend and know The Infinite within you.
Gnosis is best defined by the word “Gnostic:” the one who studies and lives Gnosis. Gnostic comes from the Greek gnostikós, of gignookein: to know. So the word comes from the Greek and it means knowledge, an “illuminating knowledge,” a “salvific knowledge,” which saves from ignorance the one who comes to know himself. And this is why it is stated that Gnosis is a very natural function of the awakened consciousness, a Philosophia Perennis et Universalis. A synthetic knowledge, with its own values, that allows for the sincere seeker to achieve the Being and universal Knowledge.
The term Gnosis is related to direct knowledge of one’s own consciousness, rather than a theory or belief. Now, the word psychology relates to the psyche, which is the soul in Greek. And the word Ology (in psych-ology) or Logos is Greek for “the Word,” or in other words “God” (psychology: “the Word of the Soul,” meaning “God”), an eternal aspect of the creative impulse in the human creature. Gnosis then is knowing God, the god within you. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” ~ John 1… Gnosis is the Word then, and so it was in the beginning. So whoever has gnosis knows the beginning itself… Do you follow this…??
Now, imagine 3 colored plastic cups–one red, one blue, one colorless or transparent. You pour water into each cup–now you see water that looks red in the red cup, blue water in the blue cup, and transparent or colorless/pure water in the transparent cup. Your consciousness is the water–i.e., transparent, colorless, pure substance of creative impulse or life in man. And the cups with their different colors is your mind and its different states–i.e., fear, stress, anger, anxiety, peace, lust, joy, etc. Now, gnosis, the Word, the Beginning, The Infinite itself, resides beyond these aggregates or states of the complex mind.
The information, the books, the knowledge you acquire, penetrates into your mind and it becomes part of the aggregates or states of your mind–i.e., the colored cups. But in order to know God, to get gnosis, to know the Beginning and the Infinite, you must find a way to see past the turmoils of your own mind, travel past the colors of the cups; in short, during your days of struggle and stress, focus on one point past these, meditate to clear your head for as long as it takes, and float towards the transparency and purity of your consciousness… This is the process you must master daily…
To realize the depth of something is to seek beyond the mind, into that space between thoughts and of a certain intuition; for mind is full of words and its loud and constant noise is deafening to the deeper substance of intelligence, of reason. The agitated mind tells you to keep arguing so you win, it tells you to seek revenge, it reminds you over and over again of your suffering, it makes you jealous and angry at others, etc. The mind then is a battlefield, and you most of the time stay in that battlefield without rest, don’t you…??
Then, to rest from the battle of the mind, one must seek shelter beyond mind, and so seek whatever is not of mind, seek the opposite of words and constant loudness–i.e., seek not the agitation of the mind. This means alone time, away from outer distractions and inner ones as well, rest from the world; feel your own vibrations, balance your inner state by seeking peace and quiet in your outer state or environment. This is key! God hides in silence, in harmony, in love, in meditation; therefore, He does not live in noise of any kind, He does not live in the world of form, so you must seek Him not in the world of form.
It is a challenging path, roughened and confusing grounds to be walked; but if you remain in love with The Razor’s Edge, in love with your conscience and with your value as a human being, then you may see past the challenges and observe the beauty and truth in each moment you live–whether be joyous or difficult moment. The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over; thus I say to you the path to ‘enlightenment,’ to your conscious illumination, is indeed a constant test–i.e., a mixture of pain and joy, loss and gain, tears and laughter. But the true warrior is the one who befriends struggle and becomes one with it.
The intellectual creature must raise above simple desires, because this is the origin of the superior creature. One should not be so base as to fall into the abyss of temptations and ignorance, but to practice the transmutation of desires must be the constant key to living; for this is the Great Law, that one given to us to surpass the simple Adam and its “original sin.”
“The deepest desire.”
There is nothing more powerful than my desire,
Such is my desire for individual growth and bliss;
And so, however rough the waters of this my life,
However suffocating and violent the storms of fire,
I must awake the great capacities within me hidden.
The desires of the animal cannot reach Divinity,
For this is my inferno–my lack of love and bliss:
These conniving desires must be transmuted.
The divine desire has indeed to be aimed higher
In order to transform the animal into the godly,
And so maintain strong vibration throughout.
As life is nothing but my thought vibrating higher,
Over storms of fire higher and higher a thought.
More intense desire, stronger wish given out; The recesses of my mind hide the key then, The levels of vibrating forms, the mental world. Consciousness is the origin of energy of thought, And the cosmic forces in me the greater desire– What are the cosmic forces if not the god in me…?? What is a desire if not the fulfillment of a need…?? My need then must be the need for my better life, Ascending over the torturing demons of thought; And life is a thought which must vibrate higher In order for me to reach the deepest desire yet: The desire to ascend and become a divine god, The desire to accept my divine nature eternally.
Love is vastly misunderstood in society, in the world, by women and men; because it has been made a concept fitting philosophies and individual opinions tied to moods and circumstances. Ignorant people, most people, good people, perhaps even you, love based on their changing feelings–i.e., I love you if you share my point of view, I love you if you respect my feelings, I love you if you do this for me, I love you if you appreciate what I do for you and you thank me and respect me, etc. etc. Their “love” has expectations, a quid pro quo, a political battle for emotional recognition and worship; however, this shadow of love designed by society and by your own mind is flawed, imperfect, impure, and not free. This is bondage, is it not…??
But true love has no designed quality and feel of the mind, and that is why it is free. It does not belong to you or to me, but it is there. It is not something you create by having any relationship with someone else. It is not that you have to deserve love or that someone has to be intimate with you. Love is the Cosmic Consciousness of the great and divine Process of Creation, and so it is in you, there, and everywhere else. Love gives as air is there for all breathing, so do not allow your mind to confuse you on this: The highest form of love is support, giving, sharing without expecting, friendship. Love is existence, and you exist not to take but to experience; so, when you love, you just do it for the experience and opportunity to love.
This is the highest understanding, but not an intellectual understanding; for everybody in the world if you ask them would agree, but the fact is that nobody lives it. Nobody lives by this truth. This truth, when actually lived in your own life, brings great illumination and awakening. Of course, you may not see it and so make up excuses why you cannot love this way in your own life; but the mind begins to accept the truth with practice. Practice makes perfect. And that is what love really is: Perfection. The purest.
