Genesis – Sodom and Gomorrah

By | February 12th, 2017|General, Our views|

We are now going to look at a story of Sodom and Gomorrah, when you read the Bible and you read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah the first thing you have to do is make a decision, there are choices you have to make and why you should not take the Bible literally, let’s look at some of the things you will encounter in the story:

  1. There is the question of God bargaining with man, you have to think is that feasible?
  2. You would have to question the sexual promiscuity of the entire city, the view that everybody in the city was sexual requires thought, and to say there were no virtuous people is a questionable viewpoint.
  3. You have a Man of God who tries to swap his daughters for sex to protect two Angels.
  4. Then you have the event of a woman turning into salt.
  5. Finally, you have the two daughters get their father drunk and rape him in a tent.

This is all summed up in this story the Holy Bible, the supposed infallible word of God.

The choices you have to make in approaching something as bizarre as this is to disregard the unacceptable portions of this and retain some. For the most part this is the way religion goes, or you can seek within the story a mysterious deep mystical meaning, as Moses Maimonides – Jewish Theologian, historian, Talmudist, philosopher and physician. 1135-1205 C.E. said this:

“Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth: and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the Spirit.”

And this story of Sodom and Gomorrah is repugnant to both reason and common sense.

To look at this story of this city, before we get into the city you have to look at the beginning of the story, you have to look at Abraham as he plays a part in this story before we get to the gates of the city and is involved with Lot, remembering we are choosing to see this story as an allegory, then this story is naming people and places with deep mystical and spiritual meaning that happens within you and me.

Genesis Chapter 18:1-2

And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day:

And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

The LORD appeared to Moses in the plains of Mamre, you have two words here, you have plains and Mamre, the word ‘plains’ in mysticism means – ‘confusion’, here is the interesting part, where did God appear, Memre, Memre means – ‘manliness’, in the confusion of your mind, in the confusion of your physical being, this is where God appeared, this is where God appears to all of us. There what happens? Three men stood by him. The number 3 here signifies that what is going to happen in this story as it continues is that there will be newness there is going to be a resurrection, there is going to be new life that comes out of all of this, the number 3 portrays that everywhere in the Bible. Notice that he lifts up his eyes and looked, and three men stood by him, he raised himself up, the important thing is that you have to see yourself as portrayed in this story to comprehend the deep truth otherwise it is not going to mean anything.

Sodom and Gomorrah or Sodom – is your basic desires the desires of the Lower Mind.

Lot – The person Lot represents your carnal mind, your carnal consciousness.

Lot’s Wife – Is your emotional nature, your emotions.

Lot’s Daughters – represent the desires of your Lower Mind.

Genesis Chapter 18:3-4

And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

Here you have movement with God in this story, you have the introduction of the word water, which is the second stage of consciousness, it means – ‘truth’, it says wash your feet and rest yourself under the tree. So, you have:

Water–Which is truth.

Feet – Which is the part that touches the Lower.

Tree – Which is Life.

In all mystical tales this is the representative meaning of these subjects.

The revelation of purpose here is an interesting thing, what we are seeing here is the process of spiritual baptism, look what has happened here, ‘Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree’ – this is baptism:

Your encounter with ‘God’ has you touch water, which is the second stage of consciousness, the first stage of consciousness is Earth, the second is water, the feet being washed means you have separated yourself, you are no longer touching that that is the Lower, you have been purged of the thoughts from the Lower Mind, your feet are washed and you are sitting under the Tree of Life which is the inner tree which blossoms within you which is consciousness which is meditation. So, what has happened here is that in the centre of your confusion, that which is God makes an appearance in your consciousness, you are touched by water which is truth, you are separated from the Lower Mind and you are now sitting under the Tree of Life.

We are going to move to:

Genesis Chapter 18:16-17

And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do:

‘Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do:’ – let us look where this merges in the New Testament.

Luke Chapter 10:21

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

So, the revelation then is unto you it is given to know the secret of the Kingdom, to them that are without all these things are parables. So, here then the question is shall what is about to happen, shall the truth be hidden from you or shall it be revealed to you, what this is saying is it is up to you, you can comprehend these things or you can let it pass, most people try to figure out if it was an eruption of a volcano, if it was a meteor what destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, as Sodom and Gomorrah went the way of every city that has been created and disappeared they have all gone, every culture that has lasted like this culture will go.

But here the question is are you prepared to comprehend the truth or will you dwell on the outside in the confusion.

Let’s go to:

Genesis Chapter 18:22

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

Here is what is happening, they went towards Sodom, the word Sodom here is – ‘Fire’, the part of your Spirit that is represented by the two Angels are going to Sodom to purge that that is the passions of the lower flesh. The inner Spirit, the inner part of you is longing to rise up and to be part of God, that inner Spirit is always rising to go to take action against the lower to put down all the emotions that churn inside of you and have caused you all the problems, but something interesting here, it says but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. In another words the Abraham inside of you says I have to know, I have to find out, I have to comprehend what is going on, in another words Abraham was not content to let them go he had questions of God, as God questioned should I reveal what is going on, and Abraham here says yes you should, I have to know, Abraham which is you is saying I have to comprehend what is going on here or else this won’t make sense to me. This is the bargaining part, the virtue, the power of Abraham is going to bargain with God. This is you, and you have to understand.

And you are told all your life by the religious establishment. Don’t question anything.

Here then Abraham that part of you stands before God and asks what is this all about:

Genesis Chapter 18:23-33

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Only by drawing near, here is the interesting part about the bargaining that happens:

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.

And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.

And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.

And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

Let us look at this spiritually and try to comprehend what we are looking at here. The allegory actually conveys to you something very important to your life – deliverance is what this really is, this is what is being conveyed here.

When there is something in you that begins to approach that narrow way towards God, there will be deliverance in your life, you call the shots, no God anywhere calls the shots, it is totally up to you, and you search and find the narrow pathway: you set foot on it, and there will be deliverance.

Here is the way it breaks down in the numerical code of what we are looking at:

First there was 50, 5+0 = 5, the five relates to the spiritualisation of the five senses, sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, you have to comprehend the licence and liberty taken in allegory, so the number 5 becomes very important, and that is if I find that there is movement within the five senses there will be no destruction of life, there will be deliverance, that life will go on to prosper.

Then there was 45: 4+5=9, we come to the bridge between the senses and the fourfold nature of man, 9 is the mind, the consciousness of man, always 9, always throughout the Bible it is talking about the mind. Yes there will be deliverance of the human mind.

Then there was 40: 4+0=4, this is the fourfold nature of man, the physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional, if the Spirit is starting to awaken the fourfold nature there will be no destruction, there will be deliverance.

Then there was 30: 3+0=3, the appearance of new life, the coming forth from the carnal mind if the Spirit is coming from the new life there will be no destruction, there will be deliverance.

Then there was 20: 2+0=2, the number of the joining of the body and the Spirit even then if there was just that movement of body and Spirit is coming together there will be no destruction, there will be deliverance.

Then there was 10: 1+0=1, if there was just the movement of the presence of God within you there will be no destruction, there will be deliverance.

Maybe there is no movement in the senses, maybe there is no movement in the mind, and maybe there is not movement in the fourfold nature, maybe there is no sign of new life, maybe there is no joining of the body and Spirit, but if there was just a spark in you from God, you will be safe.

So, Sodom and Gomorrah is the place where we all dwell, Sodom and Gomorrah is the place of desire, even though the story goes on about a lot of sexual perversion, basically the story is about this. Jesus Christ is identified as the bridegroom, what happens here, when the Apostle Paul says “I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ” and Apostle Peter said “You may be born again from an incorruptible seed”. But Sodom and Gomorrah represents you turning away from intercoursing with the female Spirit, you are intercoursing with the male mind and the seed is spilling on the ground so then the perversion the act, the physical act carried out in life is dramatized this way, for what is necessary for the union and the birth to take place is that you present yourself as the chaste virgin in consciousness to be penetrated by the divine mind which is Christ, God and you give birth to the Christ Child and new life comes forth. The intercourse happens that way and it cannot be between the physical part of the mind to the mind. This has nothing to do with the male or female it is talking in allegorical terms.

That is what Sodom and Gomorrah means.

So, God’s purpose when we intercourse with the mind instead of the Spirit. God’s purpose is thwarted: he cannot give new life, the Christ within cannot be born as the seed is being spilled. There is no womb for the seed to nurture and go into new life.

Has nothing to do with male and female as much in that it represents the mind and the Spirit.

When you live in the desires of the Lower Mind you are living in Sodom and Gomorrah, when you refuse to enter the bridegroom’s chamber so that there may be a virgin birth you are living in Sodom and Gomorrah that is what this is all about.

Genesis Chapter 19:1

And there came two angels to Sodom at even: and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them: and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground:

Here Lot was at the gate, here is Lot, the word Lot is an interesting word as far as symbolism is concerned, the word Lot means – ‘veil’, he is not inside he is at the gate, Lot is you, Lot is me, we spend all of our life looking thought the veil, we have spent all our life not understanding the true meaning of this document, once you comprehend this you could do miraculous things, if you comprehend then beautiful things can start happening.

Here is Lot sitting at the gate of all of this perversion, not sexual perversion, get that out of your mind, being perverted means being focused on what life is not supposed to be instead of life as it should be. Look at the part where it says Lot sat at the gate:

Psalms Chapter 9:13

Have mercy upon me, O LORD: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

As you sat at the gate of destruction, how many of us sat at the gate of our mind, your mind is Sodom and Gomorrah, how many of us sat at that gate with no idea of what is going to happen other then you know something is not right, then the two Angels came along, impulse came to speak to us to touch us then we started our move to escape.

So, Lot seeing the Angels, what did he do, he rose up to meet them, always rises up to meet them, we rise into higher realms of consciousness to meet them. Now see what he does, he bows his head towards the ground – meditation. When you have that impulse, when you have that thing that is starting to tug you away from the Sodom and Gomorrah of your soul the thing that you do is go into meditation, bowing your head to the ground, what you are doing is pulling down your intellect, you are subverting your own intelligence, you are putting down you own wisdom all of the things that were important to you, you are putting them down.

Genesis Chapter 19:2

And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay: but we will abide in the street all night.

Here once again we have that same baptism we talked about earlier, but they make as if No we don’t want to do that. What is being said here is that you have to invite this in, you have to bring the spiritual reality into you, and there no body anywhere which will have the Spirit force their way to you. It is up to your free will.

Then when you are making up your mind as to what you want to do and Lot is making his mind as to what he wants to do you have to realise the cost of what you have to pay, you have to count the cost, once you invite that essence into you, once you submit, once you open the door once that comes inside it is in. You will find your life will become very difficult once you let it in and you try to run in a different direction.

This experience of taking us from the lower mind to the higher mind take tremendous discipline.

Here then Lot invites the two Angels into the house:

Genesis Chapter 19:3

And he pressed upon them greatly: and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house: and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

Unleavened means – ‘nothing that is false’, unleavened bread does not raise, unleavened bread is pure, the reason the unleavened is important spiritually because it does not contain anything foreign, nothing is put into it that will change it, so they have this unleavened bread. Here now we have Lot, we have two Angels, and this unleavened bread which is actually you, you being body & soul being touched by the higher principles of God and eating the unleavened bread means you are now consuming truth which is unstained from anything of the outside, it is pure, it is divine.

This is all happening inside of you, it is happening in your mind.

Genesis Chapter 19:4

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

What is happening now is that even though you are coming into this communion within yourself, you have risen up, you are beginning to touch the cosmic aspects, the divine aspects of your mind, the Spirit is beginning to move but suddenly the thoughts start coming at you from all different directions, that I what the men represent here.

Genesis Chapter 19:5

And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

Here you have now literally what is two Angels in the house and some men coming around asking for them so they can have some fun, the words ‘know them’ is ‘yada’ which means – ‘intercourse’. To have a sexual experience.

In fact what is being said here is that the lower aspects of your mind are reaching into you and saying that divine quality that you have inside is not to be consummated with the Spirit, bring it down and let it frolic with the mind. The mind is trying to come into this holy situation and pull back these impulses to itself and the mind will do that it will rip down the door and drag that divine down till it cascades down into the lower.

What is being said here is your lower fleshly impulses we must not allow this consummation of that higher part of you the divine, the seed must be spilled on the ground, your thoughts must not submit to Spirit you must submit to the lower mind.

That is what is being acted out in this drama.

So, why is it important then that these men so to speak pull these Angels out of your house, the mind does not allow the Angels to stay in your house, because a consummation of the relationship there would place you in the fulfilment of bridal and bridegroom exchange but it is not with the Christ.

2nd Corinthians Chapter 11:2

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

To consummate with the Spirit, in this state you must present yourself as a chaste virgin, so the men outside, the lower thoughts are not allowed to break in to the holy place and pull these Angels these divine impulses out and spoil them.

Genesis Chapter 19:6

And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

When you pray and enter the room to meditate your house must be secure from the thoughts and attacks of the lower mind, he shut the door, Lot – ‘the veil’ – ‘the covering’, the protector will protect the holy place, he has shut the door, so what is being said is that nothing is allowed to enter the house the holy place where the Angels dwell. Nothing of mankind, nothing of religion, nothing of doctrine, nothing of tradition is allowed to enter the door and touch that where the Angels dwell.

And Angels are impulses of divine life in you.

Genesis Chapter 19:8

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man: let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing: for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

This is a man of God presenting his virgin daughters to compensate, he is saying I don’t care what you do to my two daughters, only unto these men don’t do anything, in another words, leave these two Angels alone but you can have your way with my daughters, and this is in the Bible, this is Lot, a man of God, so if you want to literalise this then that is how absurd this gets.

Now, I have two daughters, watch were we go with this – daughters are the desires that spring from the emotions, you have to put them on the altar of consciousness and allow them to be purged by the heavenly spirit which is within you, so you can be saved.

These are two virgins, they are pure, these are Godly desires, and these are emotions that spring from Gods Temple. The yearning for God, your mind must receive the virgin wisdom of God, your carnal can not enter the holy place, but the daughters your divine desires will be sent into you, you realise that that is of the mind cannot enter the holy place where the Angels dwell but those desires you now have for God will pour forth out into the street of your Lower Mind to set yourself free.

The virgin desires, the Godly beautiful desires will be let to enter the streets of your Lower Mind and there the intercourse will take place between the lower aspects of the mind and those which are the virgin aspects of the desires of the God part of your consciousness and what will be born out of that is the Christ Child.

Unto these men do not do anything, in my darkest time, see they came into my highest place into the divine aspects of the mind with God they are mine now, you cannot come in you cannot touch that, nobody can come into the temple of God, and the temple of God is within you, the house we are talking about is within you, no time can you bring one thought into the doors of that house, if you are in meditation you are thinking, but you are not in the holy place, you are visualising it but you are not in the holy place, when you are gone and where there is nothing is when you have entered into the holy place. All you can then do is send forth your daughters the virgins into the holy place, the virgin desires to sweep up that that is inside of you and that yearning to be free. When you get to the holy place, you will never know that you have been there because it is not you anymore you become Christ.

When you go to God you become God.

This is the point you have to understand, you will not send your daughters to the carnal mind until the love of God is dwelling in the holy place.

Genesis Chapter 19:9

And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

What is this coming into your head? Those thoughts won’t let up, they want to break the door down, and they want to get to that holiness and drag them out. Do we comprehend what we are talking about, what is this place Sodom.

Look at:

Revelation Chapter 11:8

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

According to this part in the Bible the crucifixion happened in Sodom and Egypt, because the Sodom and Egypt is the basis for the physical desires and Egypt means – ‘the Lower Mind’. That is where the Lord has to be crucified, it is a spiritual representation, symbolic, and you don’t have to argue if Jesus Christ was physically crucified because you now know it happens in you, you experience it, he experiences it within me.

So, then it says in:

Genesis Chapter 19:10

But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

The Angels pulled Lot back into the room and shut the door, the thoughts of the carnal are shut, you cannot reason with your carnal thoughts, you cannot reason with people, you cannot reason with yourself, you have to slam the door shut and you have to occupy the place where the Angels dwell.

That is the anguish and torment that goes on within us. Lord let us pray and delivers us from evil, and God slams the door on the assault of the thoughts of evil.

Genesis Chapter 19:11

And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

See what happened here, they are blind, they cannot see, when you are inside dwelling in the house of meditation, the outside is blind:

John Chapter 9:39

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see: and that they which see might be made blind.

Do you understand? Because you didn’t see, you have admitted, and you now can see, but those that say they can see are made blind, they cannot see, they are seeing with the eyes, they are not in meditation looking through the single eye, so here the same thing that that is blind comes against you.

Look at:

2nd Corinthians Chapter 3:14-15

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament: which vail is done away in Christ.

But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

They are looking at it literally and they are not seeing what you are reading about.

Let’s go back to:

Genesis Chapter 19:12

And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

Here is what the admonition of this story from God’s Angels is, you are living in the midst of all of this hell, take everything that is part of you and move out of this, get out of the city, get out of the carnal consciousness, take everything, leave the place, take no thought, enter into the holy place.

Genesis Chapter 19:13

For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD: and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

Do you understand, this is Armageddon, it is always Armageddon, Armageddon is consciousness, because God sends a fire of spiritual revelation to destroy the old ways and the old traditions, the old fears, the old torments, the old guilt’s, to set you free. We will destroy this place it says, but now in:

Genesis Chapter 19:14

And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place: for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

See we have the husbands now, we have the male part of the lower mind, they are mocking the warnings, these are doctrines the dogmas they cannot comprehend spiritual things, you cannot talk to your friends, to you relatives because they do not comprehend the spiritual things we are discussing here.

Look at:

1st Corinthians Chapter 1:19

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

When God speaks to you from within your mind will raise questions, it won’t seem right, it may be rejected, but look what happens:

Genesis Chapter 19:15

And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here: lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

It is always when, the morning, because that is when the light comes into your life, the darkness is passed over, the screaming in the streets has passed over, the screaming in the mind has subdued, morning has come, there is this inner light, it is now yours, you hear God, you are awakened, you rise, you take your wife, you take your emotions, you take your Spirit, rise and take your daughters, take your desires, take your will, get out of this place. Separate from the unclean things, get out of this place where in the midst of all of this creaming in your life, and where are you to go?

It says in:

Genesis Chapter 19:16-17

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters: the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

Neither stay in the plain, the word plain as we have discussed means – ‘confusion’, do not stay in confusion, so where should you go, escape to the mountain, go to the mountain, whenever Jesus Christ was to do a miracle where did he go, to the mountain, here it is, your house is a shambles, the holy place has been set upon, escape, don’t stay, live, raise yourself up and take all that is yours and go up into the higher realm of consciousness, the mountain, to elevate to leave all that is the lower.

Genesis Chapter 19:18-20

And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life: and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

Here the fear of going to the mountain comes over you, even in this Bible written thousands of years ago they were afraid of going into the higher realms of consciousness, some evil will take me if I go to the mountain the thoughts of fear say.

And you rationalise, there is a city nearby, let me go there, in other words, I will start to go to prayer, I will sing hymns, anything but don’t send me to the mountain, I don’t want to get into this meditation stuff, what do you think?

Genesis Chapter 19:21-23

And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

Haste thee, escape thither: for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

The Sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

So, he entered this resting place from the carnal mind.

Genesis Chapter 19:24

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven:

And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

All of this brimstone and fire is the Spirit raining down on the carnal consciousness. Lot’s wife representing the emotional nature, what does it do in each one of us, it turns it looks back, cannot help but turn, so Lots wife looks back and turns into a pillar of salt.

Finally the ascension towards the holy mountain has stopped the destructive desire of the ego and the emotions, desire is turned to a pillar of salt, in another words this which was the previous desires, the emotions that got you into such trouble becomes the very foundation of God in you and your life and is now preserved from evil, salt is a preservative.

And in:

Genesis Chapter 19:30

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him: for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

Finally, he was obedient, he obeyed God’s word, and he dwelt in the cave, deep in the higher consciousness.

And in that cave is a bizarre ending to this story.

Genesis Chapter 19:31-32

And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

The two daughters here portray a sexual encounter with their father by getting him drunk, and the literalists defend this apologetically in ignorance, this is in the Holy Book, the word of God.

Genesis Chapter 19:33-38

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father: and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also: and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him: and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

Can you imagine such a thing, here God smites Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness and straight after his chosen man of God is doing the same, this from God’s holy people.

Offcourse this is not what is being talked about here, in allegory and spiritually.

The two daughters here, are still the desires which have now been elevated into the mountain, they are now higher spiritual desires, the wine that is given in the mountain is the new wine, which intoxicates, this is a deep spiritual representation of the lower mind is intoxicated when the higher consciousness is quickened, the intercourse takes place within yourself where your own daughters, your own spiritual desires now that they are on the mountaintop they intercourse with you and you become pregnant and you give forth which is the son, that which is the new mind, that which is new ideas, all is born new in you.

Moab means – ‘desirable land’, Benammi means – ‘son of my kindred’ or the ‘son of incest’, it is the birth that comes in the family of consciousness that is one, there is nothing on the outside, that is why it must be the inner Father, and the inner daughters together in the truth of three, a virgin birth.

So, from the carnal place of desire, from the corruption of evil. The Spirit of God slams the door on the mind, you are then racing with all that you have to the mountain top, there you are intoxicated by the new wine, and as you ascend into God’s holy mountain, you have a intercoursal experience with that that is the feminine principles within yourself and you give birth to new sons, new mind, new ideas, new ways, a place of the tenable land, the son of yourself, the son of your mind, the son of God, the Christ Child.

So, ends this tale of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Story so far…

By | January 1st, 2013|New World Order, Prophesy, Spiritual Warriors, Unity of Humanity|

Where the World and its people are today is exactly where we need to be, our predicament, our tribulation our quest is simply a part of the eternal story of God and his creation, his majesty in the infinite opportunity for the cosmic self to realise how magnificent Eternity is.

This is a predictable and prophesied story. It was foreseen and foretold that in order for the humble, gentle, kind, peaceful and meek majority of people to inherit the Earth.

It is also prophesied that a truly righteous judgement is needed to correct the political and religious leaders of the world who have brought us to the current state of inequity and injustice – because it was not God who caused this tribulation. It was the vain folly of Man as the Devil is truly in Man. Man has and always wanted to be God. History is littered with Men struck by the prophesied story and their attempt to influence Eternity. The Spirit of Truth has woven its vein through out history in a battle to realise the Eternal truth of the will of God. There is a level of consciousness that Man can attain which brings him so close to God that he without humility he starts to believe he is God. History has attempted to wean Man out of this vanity however in doing so Man has removed God from its core function and recompense.

Even though a judgement and a divine intervention and intercession were prophesied, it is not as many religious people expected. The fulfilment of the real prophecies is not about the rule of one World religion or one World government, and it has nothing to do with a “holy war” or magic or anything supernatural.

The fulfilment of prophecy is about truth, love, reason and justice overcoming false beliefs, hate, bigotry and injustice. And it is about the pen finally proving to be mightier than the sword.

The judgement and the fulfilment of prophecy is about the liberation and empowerment of the people, so that we may finally become the family of religions and races and nations with governments that will be truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.

The promised judgement helps us understand that only God the eternal, omnipresent Great redeemer reins Sovereign, above all human beings. It explains that the fulfilment of prophecy is to bring about a reformation of our religions and our governments so that they will use the common wealth for the common good, promote the general welfare, and ensure domestic tranquillity, pluralism and freedom of religions, equal rights and opportunities, and justice for all the people to move humanity into the vast expanse of the Universe to explore and add to the story of Eternity.

As was prophesied, while the messenger is rejected, spiritually blind leaders lead their blind flocks astray, and we are in this state of tribulation because the greatest refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism, and the greatest refuge of a hypocrite is religiosity. And the proud and militant, who have claimed that their religion or nation or race or culture is superior to all others, or that their wealth entitles them to rule, are all woefully wrong.

The scriptures of many religions speak of a coming leader who will consummate the fulfilment of the divine will on Earth. He will manifest in this person the righteousness and compassion of God, and he will bring about the final defeat of evil, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The Hebrew title Messiah–‘Christ’ in Greek means “anointed one,” that person who will be specially chosen by God for this mission and empowered to accomplish it.

But while the term Messiah is specific to only a few religions, prophecies that a leader will come and accomplish such a mission are nearly universal.

Religions call him by various names: Jews long for the promised Messiah; for Christians the Messiah is Jesus of Nazareth, who has already come and ascended to heaven but will reappear (perhaps in a new guise) at his Second Coming. Muslims also expect the second advent of Jesus, who will come as a Muslim Imam, and among Shiite Muslims there are various expectations of a future Imam Mahdi. Buddhist sutras prophesy the coming of the Maitreya Buddha; Vaishnavite Hindu scriptures prophesy the future descent of an avatar named Kalki; Zoroastrian scriptures prophesy the coming of the Saoshyant; and some Confucian texts speak of a future True Man who will finally bring peace to the world by perfectly instituting the Way of Confucius.

Various prophecies of these religions are gathered, as follows;

“Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

Christianity. Revelation 22.20
—————————————————————

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
“Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom,
to establish it, and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness,
from this time forth and for ever more.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Judaism and Christianity. Isaiah 9.6-7
—————————————————————

I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man.
He came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
And to him was given dominion
and glory and kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away.
And his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.

Judaism and Christianity. Daniel 7.13-14
—————————————————————

Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken; then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Christianity. Matthew 24.29-31
—————————————————————

In the time to come… the Patriarchs will say, “Ephraim, our righteous Messiah, though we are your ancestors, you are greater than we. For you have borne the sins of our children, and you have borne heavy punishments, such as neither the former nor the latter generations have endured, and you became the laughter and the mocking of all the nations for Israel’s sake, and you sat in darkness, and your eyes saw no light. And your skin shrank upon your bones, and your body withered like a tree, and your eyes grew dark from fasting, and your strength dried up like a potsherd, and all this befell you because of the sins of our children. Is it your will that your children should enjoy the felicity which God has destined to give them in abundance? Perhaps because of the pains which you have endured in overflowing measure for their sakes, and because thou hast lain fettered in prison, your mind is not at rest because of them?” Messiah will reply, “Patriarchs, all that I have done, I have done only for your sakes and for your children, and for your honour and theirs, so that they may enjoy the felicity which God has destined for them in abundance.” Then they reply, “May your mind be appeased, for you have appeased the mind of your Creator and our mind.”

Judaism. Midrash, Pesikta Rabbati 162b-63a
—————————————————————

And

[Jesus] shall be a Sign of the Hour [of Judgment]; therefore have no doubt about it, but follow Me: this is a straight way.

Islam. Qur’an 43.61
—————————————————————

The Messenger of Allah observed, “What will be your state when the Son of Mary descends amongst you, and there will be an Imam amongst you? What would you do when the son of Mary would descend and lead you?”

Islam. Hadith of Muslim
—————————————————————

The Apostle of Allah said, “Were there remaining but one day of the duration of all time, God would send forth a man from the people of my house, who will fill the earth with equity as it has been filled with oppression.”

Islam. Hadith of Abu Dawud
—————————————————————

The Imam who will create a world state will make the ruling nations pay for their crimes against society. He will bring succour to humanity. He will take out the hidden wealth from the breast of the earth and will distribute it equitably amongst the needy deserving. He will teach you simple living and high thinking. He will make you understand that virtue is a state of character which is always a mean between the two extremes, and which is based upon equity and justice. He will revive the teaching of the Holy Qur’an and the traditions of the Holy Prophet after the world has ignored them as dead letters….

He will protect and defend himself with resources of science and supreme knowledge. His control over these resources will be complete. He will know how supreme they are and how carefully they will have to be used. His mind will be free from desires of bringing harm and injury to humanity. Such a knowledge to him will be like the property which was wrongly possessed by others and for which he was waiting for the permission to repossess and use.

He, in the beginning, will be like a poor stranger unknown and uncared for, and Islam then will be in the hopeless and helpless plight of an exhausted camel who has laid down its head and is wagging its tail. With such a start he will establish an empire of God in this world. He will be the final demonstration and proof of God’s merciful wish to acquaint man with the right ways of life.

Islam (Shiite). Nahjul Balagha, Khutba 141, 187
—————————————————————

He shall be the victorious Benefactor (Saoshyant) by name and World-renovator [Astavat-ereta] by name. He is Benefactor because he will benefit the entire physical world; he is World-renovator because he will establish the physical living existence indestructible. He will oppose the evil of the progeny of the biped and withstand the enmity produced by the faithful.

Zoroastrianism. Avesta, Farvardin Yast 13.129
—————————————————————

Whenever the Law declines and the purpose of life is forgotten, I manifest myself on Earth. I am born in every age to protect the good, to destroy evil, and to reestablish the Law.

Hinduism. Bhagavad Gita 4.7-8
—————————————————————

When the practices taught by the Vedas and the institutes of law shall nearly have ceased, and the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being who exists of his own spiritual nature in the character of Brahma, and who is the beginning and the end, and who comprehends all things, shall descend upon the Earth. He will be born as Kalki in the family of an eminent brahmin of Sambhala village, endowed with the eight superhuman faculties. By his irresistible might he will destroy all the barbarians and thieves, and all whose minds are devoted to iniquity. He will then reestablish righteousness upon earth; and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as pellucid as crystal. The men who are thus changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who shall follow the laws of the Krita age, the Age of Purity. As it is said, “When the sun and moon, and the luner asterism Tishya, and the planet Jupiter, are in one mansion, the Krita age shall return.”

Hinduism. Vishnu Purana 4.24
—————————————————————

Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was staying near Kapilavatthu in the Banyan monastery on the bank of the river Rohani. Then the venerable Sariputta questioned the Lord about the future Conqueror,

The Hero that shall follow you,
The Buddha–of what sort will he be?
I want to hear of him in full.
Let the Visioned One describe him.

When he heard the elder’s speech the Lord spoke thus,

I will tell you, Sariputta;
listen to my speech.
In this auspicious aeon
Three leaders there have been:
Kakusandha, Konagamana,
and the leader Kassapa too.
I am now the perfect Buddha;
and there will be Maitreya too
before this same auspicious aeon
runs to the end of its years.

Buddhism. Anagata-vamsa
—————————————————————

In those days, brethren, there will arise in the world an Exalted One named Metteya. He will be an Arahant, Fully Awakened, abounding in wisdom and goodness, happy, with knowledge of the worlds, unsurpassed as a guide to mortals willing to be led, a teacher for gods and men, an Exalted One, a Buddha, even as I am now. He, by himself, will thoroughly know and see, as it were face to face, this universe, with its worlds of the spirits, its Brahm-as and its M-aras, and its world of recluses and brahmins, of princes and peoples, even as I now, by myself, thoroughly know and see them. The Law, lovely in its origin, lovely in its progress, lovely in its consummation, will he proclaim, both in the spirit and in the letter; the higher life will he make known, in all its fullness and in all its purity, even as I do now. He will be accompanied by a congregation of some thousands of brethren, even as I am now accompanied by a congregation of some hundreds of brethren.

Buddhism. Digha Nikaya iii.76, Chakkavatti Sihanada Suttanta
—————————————————————

Listen attentively with one heart. A man whose spirit shines brightly, a man whose mind is completely unified, a man whose virtue excels everyone–such a man will truly appear in this world. When he preaches precious laws, all the people will totally be satisfied as if the thirsty drink sweet drops of rain from heaven. And each and every one will attain the path of liberation from struggles.

Buddhism. Sutra of the Great Accomplishment of the Maitreya
—————————————————————

Miroku, the Great God, comes forth, endowed with the
great strength of the three in one–Fire, Water, Earth.
Miroku, the Great God, from of old has planted
heaven upon earth.
Miroku, the Great God, even as comes a thief,
has secretly been born below.
Leaving behind the highly exalted throne to bring
salvation, Miroku has been born below.

Sekai Kyusei Kyo. Inori-no-Shu
—————————————————————

Confucius said, “If a Kingly Man were to arise, within a single generation Goodness would prevail.”

Confucianism. Analects 13.12
—————————————————————

It is only the man with the most perfect divine moral nature who is able to combine in himself quickness of apprehension, intelligence and understanding–qualities necessary for the exercise of command, magnanimity, generosity, benignity, and gentleness–qualities necessary for the exercise of patience, originality, energy, strength of character, and determination–qualities necessary for the exercise of endurance, piety, noble seriousness, order, and regularity–qualities necessary for the exercise of dignity, grace, method, subtlety, and penetration–qualities necessary for the exercise of critical judgment.

Thus all-embracing and vast is the nature of such a man. Profound it is and inexhaustible, like a living spring of water, ever running out with life and vitality. All-embracing and vast, it is like Heaven. Profound and inexhaustible, it is like the abyss.

As soon as such a man shall make his appearance in the world, all people will reverence him. Whatever he says, all people will believe it. Whatever he does, all people will be pleased with it. Thus his fame and name will spread and fill all the civilized world, extending even to savage countries, wherever ships and carriages reach, wherever the labour and enterprise of man penetrate, wherever the heavens overshadow and the earth sustain, wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever frost and dew fall. All who have life and breath will honour and love him. Therefore we may say, “He is the equal of God.”

It is only he in this world, who has realized his absolute self, that can order and adjust the great relations of human society, fix the fundamental principles of morality, and understand the laws of growth and reproduction of the universe.

Now, where does such a man derive his power and knowledge, except from himself? How simple and self-contained his true manhood! How unfathomable the depth of his mind! How infinitely grand and vast the moral height of his nature! Who can understand such a nature except he who is gifted with the most perfect intelligence and endowed with the highest divine qualities of character, and who has reached in his moral development the level of the gods?

Confucianism. Doctrine of the Mean 31-32

The impossible dream…

By | December 28th, 2012|Our views, Prophesy, Spiritual Warriors, Unity of Humanity|

In the age where technology and communication systems have allowed us to interconnect in the most personal way is it too much to say I aim to attain Unity in Humanity,  I aim to create Peace on Earth, I aim to bring about, if not realise the prophecies of human enlightenment, the oneness of self and selflessness.

Is this too much for one person to envisage?

There is one main issue that is holding humanity from realising this dream that is the separation and mistrust that has been propagated by societal value systems that are not conducive in allowing humanity to coexist in Peace and Harmony.

We must bring this system to an end, we must reboot and reprogram this machine!

We are at a quest for Spiritual Warriors, men and women that will take up the cause and not just say “I comprehend we are alike” not just utter the words “I believe”  but dedicate their existence to the mission of Unification in the Love for Humanity, the charge to break the shackles of the past dogmas, to discuss and formulate plans on how we can lift the human spirit to become more than we are.

We are all celestial beings and it is our responsibility to do great things in this Universe.

Lets start the discussion, lets move this humanity towards the future away from the thinking of the past.

We need to take bold steps to awaken humanity, I have some ideas, lets unite together and bring history to its knees.
