[...] The spirit needs to be revived or resurrected This, of course, presupposes that the spirit within man is dead, which it certainly is--but not dead in that it is non-existent. Dead, rather, in that it is UNRESPONSIVE to that sphere from which it fell, which is the sphere of Godhood and the realm of LOVE. Its deadness (unresponsiveness) is the result of INDIVIDUALITY in the form of EGOTISM it having the sense of its own god likeness apart from the recognition of the CORPORATE GOD. EGO is not in the soul, it is a matter of the spirit, and is nothing in the world but a remembrance somewhere in the depths of man of his former nature of godhood and of that lofty state from whence he fell. Ego states, 'I am God'--if not in words, at least in attitude---and in action, for it always seeks to bring the spirits of other men into subjection to itself. That is why demons are called in the Greek DEIFIED SPIRITS-- it is that godlike thing in man that wants to be god all by itself, saying, 'I am God and will therefore exalt my throne above the stars (spirits) of God and will be a god apart from fitting into my place in a corporate life.' The truth that Ego fails to see is that there is One that is greater--greater because it is plural and corporate and unified--the GREAT ELOHIM. Thus, the very state of individuality, which is divisive, has robbed us all of the nature of God and plunged us into that duplicity which separates man from himself, man from man, and man from God. So the human spirit is dead--unresponsive to that cohesiveness which is in the Godhead, unresponsive to the love principle that binds God together, unresponsive to that law which is written eternally in the heavens in the VERY BEING OF GOD HIMSELF.[...]

"Now, since the flesh lusts against the Spirit and is at endless conflict with it, then anything that seeks to make you earthly and fleshly-minded is a great evil. The things that belong to the realm of the flesh are passing away. Even the flesh itself is passing away. Anything that is passing away is not real. It is like a bubble that floats prettily in the air only to burst never to exist again. It is like the darkness that disappears with the dawn and has no certain dwelling place. It is like a flower in the field that blooms for a moment and disappears, a vision of the night, a fleeting shadow, a moment of joy, a passing sorrow, or a sudden pain. When such things have passed by, no one knows where they came from or whither they have gone. Those, however, who indulge themselves in the things that belong to the body grow to think that nothing is true or real but what is bodily and can be touched or seen or eaten or drunk or enjoyed by the passions of men. Unwittingly they change true riches for false; things that are unseen by mortal eyes for things that are seen. They exchange things that are spirit for things that can be touched, tasted, and felt by the body. The soul now begins to think that these things which belong to the body are real and therefore becomes fleshly minded The carnal or earthly mind is an enemy of God and an enemy of all things spiritual.

 "It is small wonder then that the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God; for all things connected with the natural belong to time and change, while all things belonging to the spiritual are eternal and changeless. So then all who would come to know the WISDOM OF GOD, and the REVELATION of the Lord, must turn their spirit from the realm of the physical and changing, the corrupt and mortal, and fly away into the realm of the pure, eternal, unchanging, and immortal. It is only there that rest and truth are found, and, abiding there in the Spirit, even the body itself begins to be lifted from corruption to incorruption and from mortality to immortality. We said a moment ago that when the soul comes into the realm of the flesh, it becomes carnal and fleshly minded because it is dragged into the realm of the body. Inversely then, when the soul and spirit dwell in the secret place with God, they lift the body till it also becomes incorruptible, immortal, and eternal. While the spirit and the body are united and dwell together, one must always be in subjection to the other. Either the body will be servant to the spirit or the spirit will be servant to the body. One will be the servant and be ruled. The other will be the master and rule. We cannot avoid this conclusion. Either the flesh will rule the spirit, or the spirit will rule the flesh. Since, however, the flesh is like the mortal and changing, and the spirit is like the immortal and unchanging, then the spirit is the one who should be the master. If the spirit is the master, it will save the flesh by lifting it to the realm of God and immortality, but if the body is master, it will ruin the soul by dragging it to the realm of the carnal, the mortal, the changing"

George Hawtin

"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the FOOLISH THINGS of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the WEAK things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and BASE things of the world, and things which are DESPISED, hath God chosen, yea, and things which ARE NOT, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in His presence." I Cor. 1:26-29

[...]Therefore, in the midst of the apostasy of modern day Christianity, and the hypocrisy and artificiality of modern day religion, we who know somewhat of God's ways can rejoice in the fact that it is just like God, in times like these, to rend the heavens and come down in power and great glory...and yet in ways that will seem strange and foolish in the eyes of the world. We are confident that the darkness and gloom about us will once again become the fitting background for the display of the gems of His glory. Some good Christian people are trying to set the stage for God to work, but God always has to by-pass these efforts, for He has prepared the stage upon which He will reveal His sons who are moving in harmony with His will. For it is consistent with God's character and way, and with the jealousy of His Glory, that the greater the work He will perform in the earth--the greater will be the measure of weakness and foolishness that He will cause an unbelieving world to behold.

 George Warnock

"The whole creation also groans to be delivered of its bondage to corruption. The creation has no language or voice, yet their message reaches from the ends of the earth to the throne of God's heavens (Ps. 19:1-6). The whole creation is expressing the desire for the kingdom, just as we are, without speaking it audibly. Every created thing groans for release from this bondage. The whole creation travails to be delivered from the curse, and to be restored and raised to enjoy the blessings of the liberty of the sons of God. Like the rest of God's creation, we may not speak forth this kingdom prayer. But it is the universal groan that emanates from every one of us. We groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, which is the glorious manifestation of the Life of Christ and the kingdom of God (Rom. 8:18-23). And God hears the groans of His suffering, burdened creation, from the smallest form of life to every person on earth. In due time, death shall be conquered in us first, for God has made us a firstfruits (Ja. 1:18).

"The whole creation is attuned and synchronized in spirit with our spiritual growth. Every blade of grass, tree, shrub, bug, bird, animal, creeping thing and fish, including every microscopic form of life, has an inbred intelligence, instinct or faculty that will trigger its release from the present bondage when the manifestation of the sons of God takes place" ...

excerpts of "From Candelstick to the Throne pt7" by J.Preston Eby

" The book of Revelation is not a book of fantasy or science fiction, but of spiritual realities in the kingdom of God. The symbols are but the outer covering under which exalted mysteries are concealed. These symbols were familiar to the people to whom John was writing, for they are all rooted in the history, language, and prophecies of the Old Testament! The truth is that the book of Revelation is a gathering up, or summarizing, of the whole core message of the Bible in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Sometimes a very crude illustration helps. This book of Revelation is like nothing so much as a big knot tied in the end of a long skein of yarn, or bundle of threads; every thread in the long skein of yarn is in the knot. And every thread in the knot is in the bundle of threads! Every principle thread in the whole Bible fabric comes into this Revelation knot, and every thread in this Revelation knot can be traced back into the rest of the Bible.

This serves as a key to the symbolism of the book. Its symbolic language has seemed like a foreign language to which we had no dictionary or grammar book, and so we have spent our time guessing and speculating about what it means. But this symbolic language, instead of being a hindrance and a puzzle, is really meant to make it an open book, able to be understood! It is a revelation, an unveiling — not a concealing, an obscuring or a confounding! For every bit of symbolism, and every strange allusion or phrase, can be found somewhere back in the pages of the Old Testament or in the New, in such a way as to indicate just what it means! The language of symbolism is meant to make the book more easily understood, but — there’s a "but" here — but understood by one who is familiar with the images of the scriptures and anointed by the spirit of wisdom and revelation from God!

...

We must pass beyond the signs in order to get to the message of the Spirit! The Lamb has seven horns — not literal horns, of course — for the horns are mere figures representing the seven-fold spirit of power and life which emanates from the mind and nature of the Lamb. May I reverently inject another thought? The "dead" who "stand" before God and are "judged" out of the "books" are not the physically dead in the outward cemeteries, nor are the books such as you have in your library. If the "Lamb" who opens the "book" in chapter five is not a four-legged lamb, it should not be difficult for anyone to understand that the "book" is not a two-covered book! People do such sloppy thinking about such divine and exalted things! If that "book" is one of the Revelation’s wonderful symbols, does it not follow that the "books" in chapter twenty are likewise word-pictures in the form of symbols? The religious commentaries that have been written on this book will avail you nothing, for they have been written as an attempt of the natural mind to decipher the meanings of the symbols rather than discovering the language of the Spirit and understanding out of the realm of the Spirit.

...

The idea behind each and every word of holy writ is to convey a higher meaning than the literal words contain, the truth of which must be seen and experienced by man spiritually, internally. This higher, concealed, inner, spiritual meaning, cast in the words and sense-images of ordinary events, can only be grasped by the quickened spirit and the renewed mind, and it is exactly here that the difficulty lies in conveying the deep spiritual things of God to the natural man. A person’s human level of understanding, regardless how educated or intellectual he may be, is clearly not equal to grasping spiritual truth. This is why Jesus, after speaking a parable, so often said, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." (Mat. 11:15) Let us be absolutely certain of this one momentous principle of the kingdom of God: It is not the surface meaning that has any importance, but the golden nugget of spiritual truth which lies in the mine beneath the surface is that alone which is able to enrich the inner man of the spirit."

What is a Jew? Or Who is a Jew? Who is modern Israel? Since the birth of the nation of Israel, there has been much discussion about what is a Jew or who is an Israelite. Are modern Jews truly descendents of the Jews of the Bible? Do bloodlines still count as far as God is concerned? What does the Bible say about Jews and Israel? J. Preston Eby has some good insights into these questions in Part 38 of his series… (Gary Amirault)

That mysterious historic figure Melchizedek - who was he? Some things are certain. He was not a Hebrew. He was not an Israelite. He was not a Levite. He was not a Jew. Certain questions suggest themselves. How was it that a man like Melchizedek could become king of a city in a land settled by idolatrous descendants of Canaan, and how could he come to be recognized as the priest of the one true God? If Salem, his city, is actually the same as Jerusalem, as most scholars are convinced, then both the Bible and arch. Geology indicate it to have been inhabited at this time by the Jebusites, one of the Canaanite tribes from whom it was eventually taken by David (II Sam. 5:7). There is no reason to suppose the Jebusites were different in their paganism from the other Canaanites; so it hardly seems likely that Melchizedek could have been a Jebusite. Furthermore how did he come to be recognized as the priest of the Most High God, especially by Abram, Abram had been called to go to Canaan to establish a new nation that would serve the Lord Abram recognized Melchizedek as his spiritual superior, giving a tithe to him; so why was not Melchizedek himself chosen to establish such a nation? The priesthood which he represented was later acclaimed as superior to the Aaronic priesthood established in Abram. Melchizedek also recognized himself as superior to Abram, because he gave him his blessing, though he recognized also that God had already blessed Abram in giving him a miraculous victory.

Such questions as these do not seem to be answered by the usual interpretation that Melchizedek was simply a local chieftain who was chosen, because of his dramatic appearance in the Genesis narrative at this point, to be a type of Christ. Ah, but he is more than that! The Levitical priests were "after the order of Aaron." Aaron was thus not a mere type, he represented an ORDER OF PRIESTHOOD. The mystery is intensified when we find the Holy Spirit, almost a millenium later, through king David, speaking of "my Lord' (Hebrew ADONAI) as "a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek" (Ps. 110:1,4). Melchizedek was not alone as a non-Levitical; there was an "order" of Melchizedek, and this Order was an ages-enduring Order!

"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, and with the trump of God" (I Thes. 4:16).

For years the beautiful passage quoted above has intrigued me with its mystery. While the King James Version states that the Lord shall descend from heaven "with the voice of the archangel," that is not exactly the way it is in the original. The Greek uses the preposition EN meaning "in," and Young's Literal Translation correctly renders it, "Because the Lord Himself, IN a shout, IN the voice of a chief-messenger, and IN the trump of God, shall come down from heaven." The Lord does not come "with" the voice of the archangel, but "in" the voice of the archangel. If, therefore, we can know who the archangel is, and are able to recognize his voice, we will have assurance, not that the Lord is coming soon, but rather that He has come and is now present, for we shall have encountered Him in great power and glory in the place where He manifests - I-N THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL!

We must first go back and learn who and what angels actually are. Babylon has told us a lot of fictions about storks bringing babies, and Santa scurrying down the chimney. We, for some peculiar reason, do not believe these tales. But most of us still think that angels are funny things with white nightgowns, bare feet, long flowing hair, voluptuous breasts and wings, beautiful sexless things who fly and flutter and flit here and there.

From every part of scripture come testimonies to the existence of angels. They trod the plains of Mamre, and sang over the fields of Bethlehem. One prepared the meal on the desert sands for Elijah; another led Peter out of prison; a third flashed through the storm to stand by the hammock where the apostle Paul was sleeping. An angel came to Zacharias and Elizabeth with the message that John the Baptist would be born. The angel Gabriel came to Mary in Nazareth and told her that she would conceive of the Holy Ghost and bring forth a Son who would be the Son of the Most High God. An angel warned Joseph. "And when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph... saying, Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy Him" (Mat. 2:13).

After Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, the Word says, "Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil" (Mat. 4:1). When all the severe testings had been accomplished, the record states, "Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him" (Mat. 4:11). God is not helpless in a corner somewhere, but His angels have been sent forth to take care of His people. "Now when the apostles had borne their testimony and preached the message of the Lord, they went back to Jerusalem, proclaiming the glad tidings to many villages of the Samaritans on the way. But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Rise and proceed southward at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the desert route. So he got up and went" (Acts 8:25-27). What was the purpose of the angel telling Philip to travel that particular road at that specific time? So he could meet the Ethiopian eunuch and introduce him to Jesus! In Gen. 24:7, God sent forth an angel to assist the servant of Abraham in securing a wife for Isaac. In Ex. 23:20 He sent "an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared." He sent His angels to clear the way in the going forth out of Egypt. In Ps. 34:7, the Holy Spirit inspired David to write these words, "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them."

How Consciousness creates the Material World ?

By Amit Goswami 

Book excerpt: The Philosophy of Monistic Idealism - Mysticism & Religion

go to part I : Mysticism

Religion

To arrive at an understanding of Truth, a mystic usually discovers and employs a particular methodology. The methodologies, or spiritual paths, have both similarities and differences. The differences, which are secondary to the universality of the mystical insight itself, contribute to the differences in the religions founded on the teachings of the mystics. For example, Buddhism developed from the teachings of the Buddha, Judaism from the teachings of Moses, Christianity from those of Jesus, Islam from those of Mohammed (although strictly speaking, Mohammed is regarded as the last of a whole lineage of prophets, including Moses and Jesus), and Taoism from the teachings of Lao Tzu. This rule however, is not without exception. Hinduism is not based on the teachings of a particular teacher but instead encompasses many paths, many teachings.

Mysticism involves a search for the truth about ultimate reality, but the function of the religion is somewhat different. The followers of a particular mystic (most often after the mystic's death) may recognize that the individual search for truth is not for everyone. Most people, lost in the illusion of their ego-separateness and busy in its pursuits, are not motivated to discover the truth themselves. How, then can the light of the mystic's realization be shared with these people?

The answer is, by simplifying it. The followers simplify the truth to make it accessible to the average person. Such a person is usually caught up in the demands of the daily life. Lacking the time and devotion necessary to understand the subtlety of transcendence, he or she cannot appreciate the importance of direct mystical experience. So, the purveyors of the mystic's truth replace direct experience of unitive consciousness with the idea of God. Unfortunately, God, the transcendent creator of the immanent world, is recast in the ordinary person's mind into the dualistic image of a mighty King in Heaven who rules the Earth below. Unavoidably, the mystic's message is diluted and distorted.

The mystic's well-meaning followers inadvertently play the role of the devil in an old joke: God and the devil were talking together when God picked up a piece of paper. " What does it say?" the devil inquired. "Truth", said God serenely. "Give it to me, " said the devil eagerly. " I'll organize it for you."

Yet, despite the difficulties and fallibilities of organization, the religion does convey the spirit of the mystic's message; this is what gives religion its vitality. After all, the value to mystics of realizing the transcendent nature of Reality is that they become secure in a mode of being in which such virtues as love become simple. How can you not love when there is one consciousness and you know that you and the other are not really separate?

But how does one motivate an ordinary person who does not realize oneness to love others? The mystic clearly sees that ignorance of the transcendent oneness is the barrier to love. The net effect of absence of love is suffering. To avoid suffering, counsels the mystic, we must turn inward and commence the journey to self-realization. In the religious context, this teaching is translated into the dictum that if we are to redeem ourselves, we must turn to God as the supreme value in our lives. The method of this redemption is a set of practices, based on the original teachings, that forms the moral code of the particular religion - the ten commandments and the Golden Rule of Christian ethics, the Buddhist precepts, the Koranic or Talmudic law, and so forth.

Of course, not all religions introduce the concept of God. In Buddhism, for example, there is no concept of God. On the other hand, in Hinduism there are many gods. Even in these cases, however, the above considerations of religion are evident. Thus we arrive at three universal aspects of all exoteric religions:

1. All religions start with the premise that there is a wrongness in the way we are. The wrongness is variously called ignorance, original sin, evil, or just suffering.
2. All religions promise an escape from this wrongness, provided the "way" is followed. The escape is variously called salvation, liberation from the wheel of suffering in the world, or an eternal life in the kingdom of God, Heaven.
3. The way consists of taking refuge in the religion and the community formed by the followers of the religion and following a prescribed code of ethics and social rules. Aside from how esoteric teaching of transcendence is compromised, it is in the codes of ethics and social rules that the various religions differ from one another.

Notice the essential dualism in the first premise: wrong and right (or evil and good). In contrast, the mystical journey consists in transcending all dualities, including the one of evil and good. Also notice that the second premise is turned by the clergy into carrots and sticks - heaven and hell. Mysticism, on the other hand, does not dichotomize heaven and hell; both are natural concomitants of how we live.

As you can see, when filtered by the world's religion, the monism of monistic idealism becomes ever more obscure, and dualistic ideas prevail. In the East, thanks to an endless supply of students of mysticism, monistic idealism in its esoteric form has popularly retained at least some passing familiarity and respect. In the West, however, mysticism has had relatively little impact. The dualism of Judeo-Christian monotheistic religions has dominated the popular psyche, supported by a powerful hierarchy of interpreters. Like mind-body Cartesian dualism, however, the dualism of God and the world does not seem to hold up to scientific scrutiny. As scientific data undermine religion, there is a tendancy to throw out the baby with the bathwater - the baby being the ethics and values that the religion teaches, ethics and values that continue to have validity and usefulness.

Exposing the illogic of dualistic religions need not result in the monistic philosophy of material realism. As we have seen, an alternative monism is available. In view of the way quantum physics has demolished material realism, monistic idealism may be the only viable monistic philosophy of reality. The other option is to give up on metaphysics entirely, which for a while was the direction in philosophy. The trend now seems to be reversing.

Now we must face the crucial question: is science compatible with monistic idealism? If not, we must abandon metaphysics when doing science, adding the looming crisis of faith. If yes, we must reformulate science in accordance with the demands of philosophy. In this book, we argue that monistic idealism is not only compatible with quantum physics but even essential to its interpretation. The paradoxes of the new physics disappear when we examine them from the point of view of monistic idealism. Furthermore, quantum physics combined with monistic idealism gives us a powerful paradigm with which we can resolve some of the paradoxes of mysticism, such as the question of transcendence and plurality (how does the one consciousness become many?). Our work points toward the beginnings of an idealist science and the revitalization of religions.

R U ready 4 the Battle of that Great Day of God Almighty ?

Exodus 3 - Moses and the Burning Bush  

[...]

Source: http://www.ka-gold-jewelry.com/p-articles/vesica-pisces.php 

The hint concerning "who or what I am?" comes from the story of Moses who walked in the desert where he saw the burning bush. In those days people believed that a person's name reflected his nature - and Moses who wanted to know the true nature of the One God, asked his name and God answered "eheye asher eheye" - the true translation of this sentence is "I am becoming what I am becoming". Moses totally understood God's answer but because he knew that the children of Israel would not understand the depth of God's answer he asked - "when the children of Israel will ask me for the name of the God that sent me what should I tell them?" God answered Moses and said - tell them that "eheye" sent you!

God's answers have also been distorted over time and their significance have been changed and forgotten. God simply said to Moses: my name is "I am becoming what I am becoming" tell the children of Israel - "that which will become" sent you. The traditional English translation distorted the original true meaning of the Hebrew writing because it was translated incorrectly to "I am that I am". Now, since you are surrounded by "things" what is the only thing in creation that is certain? The answer is CHANGE. Nothing stays in the same state forever. "The only thing that is constant in life is change". Everything that exists changes and is in motion. If the frequency that governs all will stop then all that exists would disappear and creation would stop.

The God or the force that created all does not have a name. He is a frequency that is constantly evolving and changing therefore he is "becoming" and has no form or definition. The meanings of one of God's Hebrew "names" - "YEHOVA" can be translated as I AM BECOMING or I AM IN A "BECOMING" PROCESS - TAKING A FORM.
 

God is within us all

Mat25: The Parable of the Ten Virgins

 1"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.

3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.

4 The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.

5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

 6 "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'

 7 "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'

 9 " 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'

 10 "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

 11 "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'

 12 "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'

 13"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour in wich the Son of the Man is coming.

Part II: Melchizedek as the Angel of the Lord

Apater, Amater, Agenealogetos (Heb 7:3) – without father, without mother and without genealogy ! This quote testifies of the divine origins of Melchizedek.  The statement that he was “without father, without mother” is not intended to mean he had no biological parents, but that from the very beginning of Creation, he is predestined to enlightment and self-mastery of his Soul – after only  a few incarnations I might add. At each re-incarnation he has the ability to easily overcome the loss of memory occurng at birth (probably in his infancy around seven) remembering very quickly who he really is. He quite inherited his priestly and kingly office (on Salem) by himself. Moreover Salem may be a lot more than an earthly place and may consist in a highly spiritual indwelling realm.

 Furthemore, Melchizedek priesthood / order seems to be a meritocracy, with appointments made on the basis of qualification; so the questions arises: does the quote “Priesthood of Christ after the order of Melchizedek” place the Christ “under” Melchizedek ? Who else is part of this everlasting spiritual Order?  

Let’s get interested in the word "order" and its meaning.

Order: a body of people united by some common rites of spiritual initiation traced back in Mystery schools, rites of passage from one spiritual level to another one, rites of worship.

Other definitions include :

-Any of several grades of the Christian ministry: the order of priesthood.

-The rank of an ordained Christian minister or priest. Often used in the plural.

-The sacrament or rite of ordination. Often used in the plural.

-Any of the nine grades or choirs of angels.

-A group of persons living under a religious rule: Order of Saint Benedict.

-An organization of people united by a common fraternal bond or social aim.

- A group of people upon whom a government or sovereign has formally conferred honor for unusual service or merit, entitling them to wear a special insignia: the Order of the Garter.

-A class defined by the common attributes of its members; a kind.

Can we conclude that the Order of Melchizedek is the first ever Mystery school, the first ever University of the Soul, protector and messenger of all the ancient wisdom?

Moreover, is Melchizedek a title intended to all the righteous Sons of Man qualified to become Sons of God by self mastery, dedicated spiritual life and lure for spiritual Truths?

Know Thyself would say the temple of Apollo at Delphi and become a Son of God  i.e. Know Thyself, get initiated and become a Priest of the Truth according to Melchizedek !  

My conclusion is that Melchizedek is the ultimate initiator, teacher, master who has increased his inner-knowledge all along the path of reincarnations to finally reach the level of a Theophany (perfection) when incarnating as Jesus, the image of the Father God Himself (Transfiguration), incarnating Ages after Ages in order to help Humanity getting through this thing called LIFE ! (Adam, Enoch, Thoth, Melchizedek, Jesus , One and the Same !)

God, Chief Angel and Human,  the Principal and Primordial One! Melchizedek the Self-Anointed ! Son of the Invisible One (Cosmic Father). Melchizedek the first Christ !

Throughout the Scriptures, previous appearances of this soul has also been known as:

Angel of the Lord

Angel of God

Angel of Jehovah

Angel of God’s presence

Angel of the Countenance

Angel of the Face

Angel of the Covenant

May I add the “Ancient of Days” also ?

Ex.23:20 "Behold, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him"

So,

who is able to get initiated and become a Christ,  a Son of Melchizedek ?

Metatron, an Angel you ought to know !

Known as a Chief Angel, Metatron mainly appears in Jewish Mysticism (Kabbalah) litterature such as the Zohar and in apocalyptic Enochian texts. The Name "Metatron" is probably derived from the greek language meta-thronos meaning "after/beyond/with the throne" but He has also many other names like Prince of the Countenance, Prince of the World or even the Youth. He has been so exalted by GoD that in some sources He is referred as the Lesser YHWH !

According to the Hebrew pseudegraphical apocryphal Book of Enoch, God took the antidiluvian patriarch Enoch and elevated him into angelic status (the angel Metatron), this event is related to Biblical accounts like Gen5:21-24.

Finally, in the Zohar, Metatron is a manifestation of Shekhina , the first "offspring" of the supernal union of God's feminine and masculine aspects, the aspect of God that dwelt among people and could be apprehended by the senses; in other words, the personnification of God's presence in the World.

Sacred Geometry: Platonic Solids in Metatron's Cube

One more step in the reunification of the Christian Churches.

Is there still any validity in the Papal discourse and in the Church existence in its actual configuration: the biggest blasphemy of the One true Living God !

The Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches took tentative steps towards healing their 950-year rift yesterday by drafting a joint document that acknowledges the primacy of the Pope.

The 46-paragraph “Ravenna Document”, written by a special commission of Catholic and Orthodox officials, envisages a reunified church in which the Pope could be the most senior patriarch among the various Orthodox churches.

Just as Pope John Paul II was driven by the desire to bring down Communism, so Pope Benedict XVI hopes passionately to see the restoration of a unified Church. Although he is understood to favour closer relations with traditional Anglicans, the Anglican Communion is unlikely to be party to the discussions because of its ordination of women and other liberal practices.

Unification with the Orthodox churches could ultimately limit the authority of the Pope, lessening the absolute power that he currently enjoys within Catholicism. In contrast, a deal would greatly strengthen the Patriarch of Constantinople in his dealings with the Muslim world and the other Orthodox churches.

 Part I: The Priesthood of Melchizedek

Who is this mysterious figure popping up from nowhere in Abraham’s time around 2000 BC ?  His name literally means My King is Righteous or The King of Righteousness.

Also known as the King of Salem (Gen 14:18, King of Jerusalem and/or King of Peace), he appears before Abraham, brings him bread and wine (symbol of an established covenant) and blesses him. Abraham appears to have known this person previously. Can you picture one of the most important patriarch of humankind (after the Flood) and the first man on Earth to be called a Hebrew, being blessed by someone considered High Priest of God the time there were no Priests at all according to the Levitical Priesthood ? This paradoxal situation can be summarized in Heb.7:7 :"And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater."

Moreover, this is the first record of any Priest in the Bible. Abraham recognized Melchizedek as a ranking spiritually higher than himself ! So high that he gave him a tenth of everything (spoils of victory from a battle at Hobah (Gen 14:20)). This man, Melchizedek, seems to know quite a lot about the one true God and in contrast to the Canaan's deeply polytheistic culture, Melchizedek appears as a monotheist: adressing Abraham in Gen 14:18-20, he states “El Elyon, creator of Heaven and Earth who delivered your enemies into your hand’, meaning he considers God as God the Most High (El Elyon) and as God transcendent and immanent. The question is: where did Melchizedek get his knowledge of the one true God? Nobody really knows...

He is recognized by Abraham as Priest of God Most High the time there were no Priests yet according to the Mosaic Law (Levitical Priesthood) ! To be Priest according to the Old Testament means to be mediator between Men and God (especially for the sacrificial system). Previous to Moses time, the Priest was the oldest in the family line. Later into the days of Moses (~1400BC), it was declared that the nation of Israel could not relate to God directly because of their sinfulness. They had to relate to Him through a Levitical priest i.e. a priest from the tribe of Levi, a descendant of Abraham and Jacob. The Levitical priesthood began thus with Aaron (Moses's brother) out of the tribe of Levi ( ~1500 BC). 

The set of rules and rituals related to Priests and worshippers is defined in the Old Testament Leviticus. Another tribe was selected for bringing forth the Kings: the lineage of David. The King was then to rule the people and the Priests to mediate between God and men. Priests speak to God on behalf of the people. No King could be Priest and no Priest could be King. Some 200 years earlier Melchizedek appears to be a King and a Priest !

1500 years after the investiture of the Levitical Priesthood, the Epistle to the Hebrews (~75AD) describes a new type of Priesthood replacing the old one: The Priesthood of Melchizedek with the Christ being an eternal priest according to the order of Melchizedek (Psalms 110:4, Hebrews 5:6; 6:20; 7:17; 7:21). The Christ being from the line of David and not from the Levitical order excludes him from the Levitical Priesthood but upon Christ's resurrection, he became an eternal priest according to the order of Melchizedek. Therefore we can conclude the Melchizedekian order is superior and transcend any human imperfect order. How is it ?

Melchizedek foreshadows and is precursor of Jesus as a King-Priest of Jerusalem. Actually this is Jesus' role in the millennial kingdom !
