Brother of Yeshua

Segment 1

The reason these great truths are no longer the focus of the modern church is best captured in the words of A. Powell Davies: Biblical scholars , he writes, were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been (quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls). What Davies was referring to was the fact that in the fourth century, the Church of Constantine so altered the focus of the teachings of the New Covenant, that what we call Christianity today has its doctrinal legacy of birth in Pagan Rome, and has little in common with the religion that the Son of God revealed to man at the beginning of our Common Era.

Unlike the 4th century church of Constantine that declared Jesus to be God, the original disciples and first followers of Jesus saw him as a man who lived such a holy and consecrated life (see Ebionite HomePage), that he became At-One with God -- and thus became the Divine Pattern that all men must emulate. Their view of him was that he was the firstborn -- or the first resurrected to the Kingdom -- the first of the prodigal sons to return home from among us, his brothers. This is especially seen in the words of the Lord where he said: For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother (Matt 12:50 KJV).

It is plain in the scriptures that Jesus is a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting (1 Tim 1:16 KJV). A pattern is not something that you casually believe in -- but rather, something that you mold your life after. Moreover, if Jesus is the pattern, then Jesus is the very standard by which all men are to be judged. Why? Because if Jesus was a man who was able to perfect himself by fulfilling the Royal Law within himself, and be resurrected into the Kingdom, then all our excuses for leading carnal and immoral lives are without merit -- i.e., because this same standard would then be expected of us -- the Lord's brothers and sisters.

Segment 2

The Apostle tells us: Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children (Eph 5:1 NAS). If we were created as inferior beings who were nothing more than the natural offspring of Adam and Eve, as Christians believe today, then the Apostle would never have told a race of inferior beings to imitate God. The basis of Paul's words is seen in the fact that man is created in the image and likeness of God, and is God's own offspring. If we were inferior beings, neither would God command us: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy (Lev 11:45 KJV), if we did not possess this innate ability. What is written here is no different than what St. Gregory said when he wrote that we must walk the path of an exact imitation of Him Who leads the way to salvation -- which path in the words of St. Nazianzen, reveals to us our true nature and makes us like God.

When a child becomes an adult, is he inferior to his parent? In like manner, when the prodigal son returns home to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination, and matures to his full spiritual potential and stature, is he inferior to his father? What is important is for us to realize that we do not know our true potential, and neither do we understand the process that gives us the ability to imitate God , and makes us like God . The undeniable Christian Truth that no one who claims to be a believer should deny, is that we don't know the answer to these questions. How can we? As Christians, we have faith that Jesus meant what he said when he promised that he would teach us -- and reveal to us all the Mysteries of God -- if we become his faithful disciple.

This great truth is seen in Origen's reply to Celsus where he wrote: By participation in the Son of God one is adopted as a son by participation in the Holy Spirit is a man rendered holy and spiritual . The problem is seen in the fact that the Church totally alienated themselves from the knowledge and awareness of that principle called the Son of God that dwells within each of us (see The Logos). Neither can the Church comprehend the reality that this Indwelling Logos or Mind of God, is the One Teacher that Jesus commanded to seek out and learn from (see The Search For The True Prophet). And that this innate ability to seek out and learn directly from the Indwelling Logos/Son of God/True Prophet, is the only means for the lost prodigal sons and daughters to acquire the knowledge of TheWay -- which will free them from enslavement to the ignorance of what Jesus portrayed as the Citizen of this, the Far Country -- which Paul portrayed as the god of this world.

Segment 3

The power of the Citizen of the Far Country which totally controls the organic people of the earth, is in his ability to shackle the individual in the abyss of ignorance -- portrayed by Jesus as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) -- also portrayed as Plato's Cave (see Cave) -- and the means to escape the shackles of ignorance can only be revealed to those who seek to learn directly from the True Prophet (see The Spiritual Disenfranchisement Of The Mind). Paul makes reference to the wisdom of the wise of this world coming to naught -- and this is because man's own higher soul and spiritual reality is simply inconceivable to his "natural" organic physical consciousness (see Mystery Of The Gospel).

The Gospel of Thomas declares: " But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty... Whoever finds himself is superior to the world" . It does not say to Know God -- because it is impossible to Know God, without first knowing one's self. Those who have not themselves yet uncovered their true spiritual nature as the Sons and Daughters of God, perceive sacred truths in forms, types, and allegories -- because they, being carnal, cannot comprehend the mysteries of God that awaits them. When God, in the words of St. Nazianzen, no longer is an object of wonder , but rather an object of desire -- and we, desiring to be purified from the defilements of this world, make ourselves fit vessels for the Lord to indwell, the Spirit, according to St. Nazianzen, reveals to us our true nature, and the revelation of this manifest Sacred Knowledge makes us like God; so that when we have thus become like Himself, God may, to use a bold expression, hold converse with us as Gods, being united to us, and that perhaps to the same extent as He already knows those who are known to Him. St. Nazianzen then writes that the Divine Nature then is boundless and hard to understand by those who are yet carnal and think as natural beings of this world.

Segment 4

Who among us has attained to such a level of Godliness that God will converse with us as Gods ? It is for this reason that Origen admits that the disciple of Christ knows full well that growing to spiritual maturity is not a simple chore. In the same way that a fetus and infant cannot grow to maturity in the cycle of a day, neither can the soul grow to its Godly potential in the cycle of one lifetime. In the same way that a child grows to a man in steps, Jesus taught (see The Unanswerable Question) the soul has transmigrated and inhabited many bodies of flesh in its quest for this necessary level of Godliness. It is also the true disciple of Christ who knows that the Lord Jesus came to save us from our fate of being lost in this world -- in subjection to the Law, ever reincarnating in useless lives of suffering and spiritual depravation -- but carnal man, refusing to follow in Jesus' footsteps, continually chooses the darkness of this world over the Light of the kingdom.

Segment 5

The question the modern believer must ask is this: Do you truly believe the words of our Lord when He said: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6 NIV)? Yet, because the Church has spiritually castrated itself by its adherence to (pagan) manmade doctrines of imperial emperors and priests of the shadow church of Pagan Rome, the people are incapable of comprehending that while their brother the historical Jesus is representative of the pattern, it is the Indwelling Logos/Son of God that is the Source of both all Truth and Life. That this fact was declared in the original Gospel message, is proven in The Ten Words.

If you believe these words, then you have only one option: You must be ready to cast off the manmade doctrines of error that have become infused into modern Christianity, and become a genuine disciple of the Light. If you truly believe, then you must begin your search for the real Jesus. The true Christians are not those who believe in the antichrist of Constantine or the very carnal and Pagan doctrines of the Roman Church -- but rather, those who realize that they must have Jesus the Nazirene, and no other. True Christians know that it is not enough to believe, they must believe the Truth -- which Truth can only be received directly from the Lord. Further, you must receive and become your true self -- i.e., the Being of Light, while you are still alive in the physical body -- as demonstrated in the words from the Gospel Of Philip: "If anyone becomes a child of the bridal chamber, he will receive the light. If anyone does not receive it while he is here, he will not be able to receive it in the other place. He who will receive that light will not be seen, nor can he be detained. And none shall be able to torment a person like this, even while he dwells in the world. And again when he leaves the world, he has already received the truth in the images. The world has become the Aeon (eternal realm), for the Aeon is fullness for him. This is the way it is: it is revealed to him alone, not hidden in the darkness and the night but hidden in a perfect day and a holy light."

Segment 6

It is impossible for most Christians to succeed in the manifestation of the pattern (of Jesus) within themselves, because they are of a peasant/serf/subject mindset. They attempt to worship God as if he were a worldly ego-driven king -- telling him how wonderful he is. Thus, they see themselves as subjects that must appease and glorify the king -- in contradistinction to imitating the pattern that that the historical man Jesus perfected in his own life and return as the first prodigal son to totally fulfill the Law within himself -- which fulfilling of the Law enables each prodigal son and daughter to learn directly from the Indwelling Son of God, and grow to their own full maturity in Messiah/Christ. Thus, Paul writes to the congregation at Galatians: "My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you" (Gal 4:19-20 NIV) -- and if a believer fulfilled the requirements of second birth by the mere profession of words as Christians believe and practice today, then Paul never would have stated these words to the Galatians. And that because of the modern Church's subject/peasant mindset of appeasement with their lips, that fails to embrace the necessary pattern that enables them to fulfill the Law within themselves, they fail to understand and bring about the Spiritual Birth from the Virgin (see Virgin Birth). Thus, they fail to understand that both the wives of Abraham are an allegory -- as well as the account of the Virgin Birth of Jesus -- and they remain totally ignorant of the meaning of Paul's words when he wrote: "Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory..." (Gal 4:21-24 KJV) -- an allegory which portrays the first stage of birth which is of the flesh, and the second stage of birth which is of the promise and the Spirit -- and is presented in the allegory of the Virgin Birth (see Virgin Birth). Further, it is impossible to bring about this next stage of birth apart from what is portrayed in the name of Joseph (see Joseph - The Generative Power Of The Kingdom).

Segment 7

And because the Church as in their adoption of pagan dogma and systems of belief totally alienated themselves from the spiritual meaning of the Gospels, the words of the Gospel of Philip presents their spiritually disenfranchised fate -- i.e., "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live, they will not receive anything (when) they die" (see Gospel Of Philip).

Segment 8

In not understanding how the ancients used the term Demiurge, modern man has fallen into the trap of worshipping false gods. While the term Demiurge was used by Plato and the Gnostics, its most well known usage was in the portrayal of the Jews as worshipping a Demiurge instead of the true Creator-God. But in the failure to apply what Jesus portrayed as the Key of Knowledge -- and that each person or group of believers fashion the world in which they dwell through the filter of their mindset and doctrines of belief -- modern man remains both ignorant of who and what he worships. The meaning of the word Demuirge which is often portrayed as a lesser god, indicates "one who fashions, shapes, and models" -- and when the Key of Knowledge is applied, it is understood that each person of group of likeminded people all ascribe to a vision of the world that is perceived through the filter of their system of beliefs. When the Church was converted over to a system of redemption under Pagan Rome, Jesus ceased to be the example and pattern for all of mankind to follow and imitate -- and began the role of a pagan mojo that was a perpetual sacrifice for sin -- which transitioned the believer into the subject (see Subject Mindset) which was common among the heathen population of the Roman Empire. And while the whole belief system of Jesus the redeemer that permits the body of believers to dwell in what can be an environment of perpetual sin is openly condemned and rejected by the biblical authors (see The Fallacy Of Salvation By Faith Alone), the great void in Church dogma and the flawed foundation of modern Christian doctrine of belief has so alienated the body of believers from the core Gospel teachings and spiritual objectives, that the Church has exiled itself to a condition of profound blind ignorance in a Spiritual Diaspora. Worshipping a manmade god which they call Jesus.

Segment 9

If it was Paul's intention to create a religion where salvation is by faith apart from the person's actions, then he would not have warned that if the believer sins after coming to the knowledge of TheWay, that there is no longer a sacrifice for them -- and they are very much an abomination and apostate to the Kingdom of God (see Fate Of Christians Worse Than Unbelievers). But because Roman (pagan) philosophy which was Mithraic in its core concepts, was built upon the foundation of sacrifice for perpetual sin -- which philosophy has little in common with the original Gospel teachings of TheWay -- the prediction of Paul has come to pass in his vision that the Church which called itself Christian, would worship the Anti-Christ as God (see Church of the AntiChrist).

You Will Know Them By Their Fruit: The Christian today dwells under the illusion that because of their belief in Jesus, they are exempt having to live in accord with the Law and the Commandments of God. thus, they are themselves a lawless people who claim to possess a license to live in any manner of their choosing. Thus, they have exempted themselves from the Gospel requirements that declares: But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? (Luke 6:46 NKJ). And, they wrongly believe that the very words of the Gospel do not apply to them: Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matt 7:21 NIV).

Segment 10

The modern mindset and culture of the western world which has become associated with the Church, has in practice taken the abomination and immorality of Sodom and Gomorrah to a new level. In a world where young girls and boys casually hook-up, marriage has become virtually null and void. And with statistics demonstrating that over 25% of Evangelical Christians are addicted to pornography, does the words of Jesus have any meaning to the modern believer -- i.e., "...But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart (Matt 5:28 NIV) . That the modern Christian remains totally ignorant of the true purpose of sex and marriage with respect to the Divine Pattern with the environment of a Spiritual Marriage. There is a reason for every spiritual precept in the scriptures -- and thus, the article Lilith - The Demonic Reality Of Feminism, opens with the statement:

To engage in a behavior that you are totally ignorant of the consequences -- is to walk blindfolded into freeway traffic -- to play Russian Roulette with a fully loaded revolver -- is to walk barefoot in a pit of poisonous vipers. While this present article (Lilith) was written many years ago, there is a section in the newly authored article The Three Lies entitled Man And Woman as the Cosmic Ovum And Sperm, that will present to the reader important knowledge that has been censored -- and that is generally unknown to our modern culture. Why does the Bible reject unmarried sex? Why did Jesus even condemn visual lust played out in one's mind? Why is casual sex prohibited in the scriptures? Not to know the answers to these questions, is to walk blindfolded into heavy freeway traffic. Knowledge is Power -- and when proper knowledge is applied to one's life, the person becomes empowered to prevail over all forces in opposition to one's success. The informed mind can succeed, where the uninformed and ignorant will fail.

Segment 11

Not only does modern man not understand the underlying reasons that the scriptures reject casual sex, but our modern culture which is based upon junk science -- a junk science that is not only easily demonstrated to be counterfeit -- but is also the cause of the suppression of scientific findings of fact that would force informed people to immediately reject the folly and tenets of our modern culture which enslaves the ignorant. While freedom and choice is good -- anytime that we act blindly without knowing the consequences of our actions, we are putting ourselves in great danger. And in many ways the prevailing ignorance of most young women in our modern culture, can very much be likened to a blind date with a serial killer who is in search of his next victim. Not to understand the scientific and spiritual principles presented at the link which holographically demonstrates that man and woman is very much a Cosmic Ovum And Sperm that is endeavoring to bring about the next level of birth within the mind and being of the individual -- is to remain in the abyss of self-ignorance.

Segment 12

The worship of the Jesus Demiurge of Pagan Rome has not only spiritually disenfranchised the modern believer from the core and objectives of the Gospels, but has so spiritually castrated the congregation of believers, that they have been rendered impotent with respect to bringing about the necessary spiritual maturity that would enable them to even begin to understand the essence of the Gospel purpose with any depth in their lives.

The Biblical Foundational Mindset: Christians are faith-based, simply because both the essence of the Gospel and the objectives and higher realities of life make absolutely no sense to their limited thinking which is inhibited by a foundational mindset that is pagan and manmade. It is impossible for them to comprehend the reality of the foregoing Gospel teachings that they continually ignore -- and how these important teachings can possibly apply to them in the manner that they appear to -- because the very foundation of their thinking is manmade and counterfeit. And this fact is especially seen in the question asked by the disciples: "Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?'" (John 9:1-2 NKJ). Thus, what Christian today would ask the forgoing question? Not a single one would. Why? Because modern Christians have been totally alienated from the biblical foundational mindset, by the very doctrines adopted while the Church was ruled over by Pagan Rome. Thus, we must pose the question: What prompted the disciples of Jesus to even ask such a question? Turning to the historian, this ultra important element to the equation of life is made reference to by Edward Gibbon in the footnote regarding the question of the disciples at John 9:2: "The disciples of Jesus were persuaded that a man might have sinned before he was born, (John, ix. 2,) and the Pharisees held the transmigration [reincarnation] of virtuous souls, (Joseph. de Bell. Judaico, l. ii. c. 7;) and a modern Rabbi is modestly assured, that Hermes, Pythagoras, Plato, etc., derived their metaphysics from his illustrious countrymen" (Gibbon; Decline & Fall) -- metaphysics that embraced the concept of the pre-existence and transmigration of the soul.

Segment 13

Again, let me pose the question as to what this statement means to us from a modern-day perspective? It means that the mindset and doctrinal thinking of the modern believer is so alienated from the original biblical foundational mindset and thinking, that the modern believer has been rendered spiritually sterile. The original mindset and thinking with respect to the events of life from the perception of the disciples is explored in the Wycliffe Commentary where it is written: "The question of the disciples (v. 2) was grounded in the belief that bodily infirmity or suffering was due to sin, whether of parents (Exo 20:5) or of the man himself, presumably on the basis of the souls pre-existence, which some Jews held". Thus we must ask: Is this some Jewish fable that the disciples of Christ conjured up themselves? Or is this belief a foundational element of the Gospel that Jesus taught to them? Once properly understood the position of the disciples is founded upon the construct of Jesus' statement to the person he healed and made whole: "...sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14 KJV). And what this means is that those who sin -- especially after coming to the knowledge of the Gospel message -- inherit a fate even worse than before they were healed from their sin. To the degree that Paul warned the congregation of believers: , Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows (Gal 6:7 NIV).

Segment 14

What does it mean that "...God cannot be mocked -- [and that each person] reaps what he sows? To the degree that Jesus warned the man: "...sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." Yet, to their own spiritual demise, the vast majority of Christians promote the belief that they are exempt from having their own sin and misdeeds come back upon them in the manner that is portrayed in these verses -- and that somehow they have been exempted from the fruit of their own ways, while everyone else is held in judgment. In fact, Christians promote the doctrine that because they attempt to appease the Lord with their lips, they virtually have a license to live in sin. And they cling to this doctrine even though the Gospel warns that their fate will be worse than the unbelievers (see Fate) -- and that because of their infidelity to the Gospel wherein they crucify the Son of God afresh, even the opportunity of salvation by virtue of the sacrifice on the cross has been denied to them (see Sacrifice). And because of their infidelity to the Gospel, they have been rendered spiritually blind to the degree that they fail to perceive that they are dwelling in what Jesus portrayed as The Prison and the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see Blindness) -- incapable of understanding the core meaning of the Gospel and the scriptures.

When Jesus warned the man "...sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" -- he confirmed the doctrine that all the calamities of life is caused by man's sin and disobedience to the Royal Law of God. On the question itself that the disciples of Jesus asked -- i.e., Master, who did sin? -- the commentary Barnes Notes writes that: "It was a universal opinion among the Jews that calamities of all kinds were the effects of sin. The case, however, of this man was that of one that was blind from his birth, and it was a question which the disciples could not determine whether it was his fault or that of his parents. Many of the Jews, as it appears from their writings (see Lightfoot), believed in the doctrine of the transmigration of souls; or that the soul of a man, in consequence of sin, might be compelled to pass into other bodies, and be punished there. They also believed that an infant might sin before it was born (see Lightfoot), and that consequently this blindness might have come upon the child as a consequence of that".

Segment 15

On the question of who did sin, this man, or his parents, and the pre-existence and reincarnation of the soul, the Adam Clarke Commentary tells us: "The doctrine of the transmigration of souls appears to have been an article in the creed of the Pharisees, and it was pretty general both among the Greeks and the Asiatics. The Pythagoreans believed the souls of men were sent into other bodies for the punishment of some sin which they had committed in a pre-existent state. This seems to have been the foundation of the disciples question to our Lord. Did this man sin in a pre-existent state, that he is punished in this body with blindness? Or, did his parents commit some sin, for which they are thus plagued in their offspring!... The Jewish rabbis have had the same belief from the very remotest antiquity. Origen cites an apocryphal book of the Hebrews, in which the patriarch Jacob is made to speak thus: I am an angel of God; one of the first order of spirits. Men call me Jacob, but my true name, which God has given me, is Israel: Orat. Joseph. apud ORIG. Many of the Jewish doctors have believed that the souls of Adam, Abraham, and Phineas, have successively animated the great men of their nation. Philo says that the air is full of spirits, and that some, through their natural propensity, join themselves to bodies; and that others have an aversion from such a union. See several other things relative to this point in his treatises, De Plant. Noe-- De Gigantibus-- De Confus. Ling.-- De Somniis, etc.; and see Calmet, where he is pretty largely quoted".

Segment 16

It is important in our assessment of genuine biblical foundations of thought to recognize the fact that the pre-existence and what some call the reincarnation of the soul was a universally accepted belief among the people who Jesus taught the Gospel Precepts -- and in the case of the Disciples, the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God. Once this fact is acknowledged, then we are forced to conclude that if this belief about the nature of life was in error, and the journey of the pre-existent soul is not a viable part of the teachings of Jesus, then Jesus would have had to condemn it -- or, we must recognize that it was removed by the later Gentile Church.

That the Pharisees understood that a man is born blind from the misdeeds of a previous life is seen in their words to the man: "You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?" (Jn 9:34 NAS). Moreover, it is well documented that the Essenes -- who with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls are now understood to be the foundation of New Covenant teachings -- also believed in the pre-existence and transmigration of the soul. In his Antiquity of the Jews, the Jewish historian Josephus, who had lived among the Essenes, and was a contemporary of the man Jesus, stated that the Essenes: resigned up their souls with great alacrity, as expecting to receive them again. For their doctrine is this, that bodies are corruptible, and that the matter they are made of is not permanent; but that the souls are immortal, and continue for ever; and that they came out of the most subtle air, and are united to their bodies as to prisons, into which they are drawn by a certain natural enticement; but that when they are set free from the bonds of flesh, they then, as released from a long bondage, rejoice and mount upward... .

Segment 17

Modern Christians fail to realize that their religion evolved out of Judaism, and Spiritual Jews have always founded their system of beliefs upon the concept of the pre-existent soul that evolves to perfection over the course of many lifetimes. The following quotation is taken from The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia , under the heading of Souls, Transmigration of : The doctrine of transmigration of souls, which was especially accepted by the Karaites is generally attacked by Jewish philosophers, but is defended by Isaac Abravanel and Manasseh ben Israel. It appears often in Cabala; it is found in organized form in the Zohar, it is further developed in the teachings of Isaac Luria (1534-1572), and in Hasidism it becomes a universal belief. According to these teachings, all human souls have a common origin in the spiritual unity of the primordial man, sparks of which form the individual souls... The sin of Adam brought higher and lower souls into confusion; as a result, every soul has to pass through a series of incarnations... The soul itself has no sex, which is determined by the body and may vary from incarnation to incarnation .

In the Zohar, the foundational doctrine of Jewish Mysticism, it is written that: All souls are subject to the trials of transmigration; and men do not know the designs of the Most High with regard to them The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence they have emerged. But to accomplish this end they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God . This reunion with God is the rebirth that was spoken of by Jesus to the Pharisee Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews .

While Christians attempt to interpret the parable of the Prodigal Son in fragmented piecemeal, when taken as a whole, and understood as a universal reality common to all of mankind in the manner it was intended to be understood, it is recognized to be in total conflict with modern Christian doctrine. Once it is understood that each of us is the Prodigal Son/Daughter of our Heavenly Father, then it must also be recognized that each of us at one time dwelled in the Kingdom prior to journeying out into this, the "far country" . Thus, we see this parallel concept in the above quotation from the Zohar where it states that each of us, like the Prodigal Son that we are, must return to our Source -- i.e., "The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence they have emerged...."

Segment 18

In the parable of the Wedding Feast, those who come to TheCall, must have put on the required Wedding Garment -- and thus, we see the parallel concept in the Zohar in the words with respect to the required perfection of each soul: "But to accomplish this end they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them..." To the degree that Jesus stated in the Sermon on the Mount at Matthew 5:48 that each soul must be as perfect as their Heavenly Father -- i.e., again parallel to the Zohar: "...and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God .

Segment 19

To even begin to comprehend this higher reality of the perfection of the soul over the course of many lifetimes, the person must understand the cycle of the Prodigal Son/Daughter as presented in the words: "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it" (Isa 55:8-11 NKJ). God cannot fail -- and nothing in Creation can be void -- and as the Prodigal Sons of the Most High, each of us emanated from the Edenic Kingdom of Origination -- and each us us must fulfill the requirement of perfection as presented at Matt 5:48 -- and if this required perfection is "...not fulfilled this condition during one life, [we] must commence another, a third, and so forth, until [our souls] have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God And as the Prodigal Sons/Daughters of the Most High, each of us was forced to leave the Kingdom and venture out into this world which is portrayed in the parable as the "far country" -- not by our own choosing, but by the Will of God who brought this world which is a realm where each of us is able to grow and evolve to perfection -- i.e., For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time (Rom 8:20-22 NIV).
