The Aquarian Mysteries of Jesus hold the key to unlocking our full potential- a potential that we have only scratched the surface of. They hold the keys to our fulfilling our highest dreams, of our becoming thepeople that we have always wanted to become but never knew how.
This article goes into ancient but little known traditions about Jesus which will offer very interesting and unusual perspectives about hislife and teachings. We will examine certain statements from the Bible that have been enigmatic mysteries for 2000 years, and we will attempt to share some of the secrets that Jesus gave to his close students.
For instance
Who are we and what is our relationship to God?
What did Jesus mean in Revelation when he said that the 7th Angel would come to finish the mysteries of God?
What did Jesus do when he was a teenage and in his twenties?
What did John the Baptist mean by the coming "baptism of fire?"
Did Jesus teach about karma?
What of Jesus secret teachings for his disciples?
And how do we deal with the prophecies in the Book of Revelation?
Let me begin by saying that there were definitely Secret Teachingsthat Jesus only put in the hands of those who were ready. One of those who was ready was the Apostle Paul.
He is my favorite person in the New Testament. I like him because he was a very distinct and extremely rugged individual. He tells us that he got his teachings directly from Jesus- after Jesus' Resurrection. The most famous scene from Paul's life is when the Resurrected Master Jesus Christ appears to him on the road in such dazzling light that Paul is temporarily blinded. Well it seems Jesus continued to appear to him in this way and teach him, for here is what Paul said
The Good New I preach is not a human message that I was given by men, it is something I learned only through a revelation of Jesus Christ...Before God, I lie not.
Apostle Paul to the Galations
Paul never met Jesus in the flesh. He got what he got by spiritual communion. We can develop this ability also.
We also know that there were teachings given even to the multitudes that we don't have a record of. For instance there are sixteen separate passages that say that Jesus "taught them" -but they don't include any teaching! What did he say? Did he just say "Believe on me and you will be saved"??? Highly unlikely.
Jesus withheld some teachings deliberately
In addition to those teachings which did not survive, Jesus also taught his disciples and Holy Women things which he deliberately did not want to be given out for public distribution. For instance in one scene he says:
"... unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: But unto them that are without, all things are done in parables."
Scholarly research has now disclosed that some of the disciples composed more secretive writings for those who were ready for them. Clement of Alexandria, a church father of about 200 AD. referred to a secret gospel by Mark. Here is what Clement said:
"... he {Mark} composed a more spiritual Gospel for the use of those whoare being perfected... {it is} guarded, being read only to those who are being initiated into the great mysteries."
One of those that Jesus initiated into the great mysteries was the Apostle Paul. He wrote of the mysteries in his writings- though he didn't tell us what those mysteries were, unless one can read the code that some of his writings use. One scholar said of Paul's use of the word "mystery"
"its first sense appears to be 'a rite of initiation' or 'a secretto which initiation is the key.' ...in the vocabulary of religion it standsfor the whole complex of initiation and secret doctrine on which numerous brotherhoods of the time were based." New Testament scholar F.W. Beare(quoted from The Lost Teachings of Jesus by Elizabeth Clare Prophet)
Let's ask ourselves just exactly what these mystery teachings wereabout. I believe they were about how to become the Christ- the Christ that Jesus had become. Paul was very clear that this is the goal of life. Paulknew the full potential we have. He knew and taught that that that potential is nothing less than a Christ potential. He said:
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
...Christ in you (is) the hope of glory... ) Col. 1:27
..till Christ be formed in you. Gal. 4: 20
Christ is all, and in all. Col. 3:1 1
So we know from Paul's works, taught to him directly by the ressurected Jesus, that personal Christhood is our goal, our potential and our destiny, if we succeed. But we don't really have that much information on how to do it, do we? We don't have the secrets Jesus gave to those whowere ready, those who were his close initiates.
People have always wondered what our purpose is, what is the meaning of life. If everyone had that goal of becoming -in the full sense- conscious Sons and Daughters of God then we would quickly make our world a place of unbelievable happiness. This goal is achievable by anyone who "won't take no for an answer."
Jesus set us a very high goal. He said
...he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father. John 14:12
And as we look at the world today I think we can all agree that we simply must perform greater works- because we have to stop war, to heal the environment, stop drug abuse and violence. It is completely unacceptableto anyone with a heart that is alive to Life to allow this planet to become a nightmare of pollution, violence, war and darkness. We do have the power and knowledge we need if we will apprentice ourselves to the Masters and Archangels.
The Master Jesus said to us: Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect..
Would Jesus have set for us a goal impossible to achieve? The problem is we haven't know much about how to do it.
"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in his throne."Rev.3:21
High goals indeed! Perhaps we might wonder how we can accomplish these goals. Well it certainly is very difficult if we don't have the full teachings on how to do it. Some of Jesus' teachings we will share here.
One of the most important understandings Jesus had was his understanding of who he was in relationship to the divine principles of the Father and the Son. This is what we need to know also. Who are we? Who is God?
Orthodox Christianity for quite a long time has been based on an image of Jesus that is much more the image of a Roman God as understood by uneducated masses than that which Jesus was actually like. This false image began to take hold firmly in the 3rd Century with the formation of Emperor Constantine's Nicene Creed
This creed was written hundreds of years after Jesus. It was written under the dread of the tyranny of a Roman Emperor determined to turn Christianity to his own purposes. It said:
"We believe in one God...and in one Lord Jesus Christ... God of God, Very God of very God... ...whosoever shall say that there was a time when the Son of God was not or that he is of a different substance oressence from the Father or that he is a creature ...are anathematized." This means they were cursed. It is a Christian curse. And this curse and the condemnation behind it has been used as a club to beat over the head ofanyone who would stray out of the bands of orthodox mediocrity enslaving the mind. Furthermore, it is not even "scriptural" in any way, as we shall now see.
Compare the following statements of Jesus to the Nicene creed- it doesn't sound like they refer to the same person does it?
COMMENT: Don't most Fathers in a certain way "create" their sons? Compare Jesus statement with Constantine's "or that he is a creature" phrase.)
He that believeth on me believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. Revelation 12:44
Jesus is actually referring here to his spiritual hierarch, his inner Teacher.
God of God? says Constantine's creed.
But Jesus says "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God. Mark 10:17
Very God of very God? Here, as plain as day Jesus is trying to get this person to see through the human person that was an aspect of Jesus. He was trying to get him to see through the transparency that he had become by his self-discipline on the Path of Light- to see through him to the Source of the Light, the Universal Light and the Person of the Universal Son that was shining so magnificently through him. There was so little difference between that Universal Son and Jesus that Jesus had actually become the walking, living, thinking presence of that Universal Christ Person. That Person of the Son is a prototype out of which we are all supposed to workwith and develop our unique Sonship.
So in summary, it is plain even from the basic texts still left in the Bible tht hundreds of years after Jesus a Roman Emperor foisted upon Christia nity an utterly false and un-Biblical doctrine. Church Councilsmade a mockery of Jesus and his Apostle's true teachings. They denied ourdivine potential for Sonship. They made Jesus into a God in the likeness of a Roman God- wholly different than the rest of us, which he is not- andthat is why he is not embarrassed to call us "brothers" as is said in Hebrews, when we reach a certain standard.
