The
Fulfillment
Every
Prophet Comes To Continue To Fulfill His Will. They Come
Not To Destroy Other Teachings, Or Other Prophets, Or Other
Messiahs, But To Continually Push The Will Of God To Be Fulfilled On
Earth. The Ultimate Manifestation of this Process is the
Coming of the Seventh Angel.
We know that there
have been seven Prophets, seven Messiahs, and seven teachers who
came one after another to purify, fulfill and advance God’s Will
further to Its ultimate fulfillment, which is to realize all the
seven seals on earth, all the prophecies and wonders that God sent
us, and bring His Kingdom on Earth.
We are doing the same thing. We are not here to destroy
anything but to fulfill, to advance, to bring God’s Will to earth
more and more, and to bring His Kingdom to humanity. The
Messiah never comes to destroy. He comes to destroy what is
not the Will of God.
***
That is what every
Prophet comes to do, to fulfill the Will of God. The Will of
God has already been prophesied. How He is going to do it can
be read all through the Bible. He told Abraham how he
had to leave his parents, his house, and the land he was living in,
and go somewhere else. With that He promised he would bless
him and bless his children.
You know the story about Abraham’s two sons. God promised that
there would be a Messiah, a Prophet, a Messenger come from each of
them, and each of them were going to have a kingdom, a status in the
spiritual world. He fulfilled all of His promises.
***
The people were
asking for signs instead of listening to Esa’s teachings and truth.
Many signs were given before by many Prophets and still people did
not believe in them, listen to their words, or follow the truths
they revealed. Esa came, performed many miracles, and taught
them the truth, but still they were asking for signs. The
false ego seeks all kinds of excuses to not see the truth.
However, the only sign he gave them was “the sign of prophet Jonas.”
This was the only sign he gave them to witness as the sign of his
authority. But even this sign has been distorted by the
paganizers of Christianity in the Roman Empire, after Christianity
was accepted as the state religion.
It is believed that he was crucified on Friday and rose on Sunday.
However, study of the gospels shows that Christ was put in the cave
(“heart of the earth”) in the evening. According to the belief
of the majority, he was in the cave Friday night, Saturday during
the day and Saturday night, and rose on Sunday morning. This
would mean that he was in the “heart of the earth” only two nights
and one day. So if we believe this (that he died on Friday
night and rose Sunday morning), then Esa failed to fulfill the only
sign he gave for his legitimacy.
However, if he had been crucified on Friday and stayed in the cave
for “three days and three nights,” then he should have risen on
Monday afternoon about the same time of day that he had been put
into the earth.
The truth is that Mary and her companions went to the cave where Esa
was laid on that Sunday morning, and found it empty. That is
because he had left it the evening before on Saturday afternoon
around the same time when he was put inside the cave on the day he
was crucified (later than the ninth hour of the day or three o’clock
in the afternoon by our time standard). Therefore, he was
taken to the cave on Wednesday before that Saturday and he was in
the “heart of the earth for three days and three nights.” That
is why those women who went to the cave the next Sunday morning, did
not find him there.
So, he fulfilled his promise of staying in the heart of the earth
for three nights and three days by being in the cave from Wednesday
until Saturday afternoon, the Sabbath.
This truth, like many other truths about Christ and his teaching,
was changed after Christianity became the state religion of the
Romans, with acceptance by the masses in great multitudes.
They accepted the basic concepts of Christianity with Christ as the
Savior, but they transformed it into a new religion with many
flavors of their pagan religions, especially Mithraism.
In fact, it was a part of the doctrine of Mithraism that a Savior
from a virgin would come and all would be saved through him.
So this part of the story of the birth of Christ matched their basic
beliefs. Also they injected their own festivals and holidays
into the new religion. That is why most of the Christian
religious holidays have pagan origins from the Roman religions.
Sunday was the weekly holiday in which the sun god (Mithra) was
worshipped, and Friday also was an exalted day. That is why a
formula was created so that both Friday and Sunday stayed exalted as
before. Indeed the true Christians of the east and far west in
England observed Hebrew Holy days (their list is in Leviticus
23 in the Bible) until 700 A.D., and their Sabbath was on
Saturday.
***
After Esa established
the supremacy of his teachings and actions over those of the
Pharisees, scribes and Sadducees, and silenced them, then he started
his direct attack and his last part of the mission to show their
hypocrisy. He did not speak in parables any longer but in
plain language. This would do the last hurting to the false egos of
the priests, elders and spiritual teachers of the people, and would
make them more zealous to plot again him. Although he said the
truth, they did not want to hear it.
He was trying to show that it is not the teaching of Moses which is
bad or should not be followed, but is the actions of their leaders
which had corrupted Moses’ teachings and laws. That is why
what they said, which is what Moses taught, was good for a person
and his spirit. But they themselves did not follow what Moses
taught, “for they say, and do not.”
Again this shows that Christ did not come to do away with God’s
Commandments and Laws. His mission was something else and he
fulfilled them all.
***
Everything happened in
Esa’s life, so that the prophecies would be fulfilled and Esa, as an
Avatar (Emmanuel, “God with us,” god-man) would be born. Again
God showed that He never fails to fulfill His promises, that all the
prophecies eventually will be fulfilled. Humanity must and
will realize that the best way is His way, and the goal and purpose
of this creation is that all reach Pure Consciousness.
***
The Duty
Of
A Prophet Or Messenger
Is To Give The Message; He Is Not Responsible
If People Accept It Or Not!
Many believed Esa
and it seemed to the priests that he was going to destroy their
already established, quiet social structures. That is why they
not only rejected him but put him on the cross without a cause.
That was a great sin.
However, no man can stop God’s Plan. Even with putting Esa on
the cross, the new teaching could not be completely suppressed and
Christianity flourished.
***
Hebrews were selected
to establish the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. But they failed
in their mission. However, they should have failed because
other truths in The Greatest Sign should have been revealed
and many prophecies should have been fulfilled before the true
Kingdom Of Heaven would come. A part of them became an example
for humanity throughout history to show that whenever any person or
group fails, they would be punished. After punishment when
they become purified, they will be given another chance to prove
themselves worthy. After they fail again they create bad karma
and will be punished to be purified again. The example of the
Jewish race should be a lesson for all of humanity and shows how the
Law of Karma works collectively and also individually.
***
Christ fulfilled his
mission even if it appears that the Jews did not accept him.
But God keeps His promises in ways that humans cannot understand
easily. The reason is very simple, because humans do not look
at His universe as He sees it. He has a complete picture of
everything and is guiding the whole universe toward its goal.
***
This truth has been
said many, many times and has come to humanity many, many times.
So as we reveal this truth more and people see it, accept it and
embrace it, the better communities we are going to have, the better
people we are going to have, and the better earth we are going to
have. Eventually, after a certain percentage of humanity
accepts this, the rest will easily come to terms with this truth and
we will have the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
So we can see that people who resist a new revelation or teaching
should not do that, because when any teaching, any Prophet, or the
Messiah comes, it is not to destroy anything. They come
to fulfill, they come to bring a greater beauty to humanity.
They do not come to oppose.
Humanity actually opposes the revelation, or the teacher, because
they want to keep their own ways. They want to resist His Way,
God’s Ways. That is when they reach a point where they might
even kill the Messiah. Christ was crucified. Muhammad
was stoned, Bab was executed, etc. Even the Prophets of the
Old Testament went through so much struggle to convey the Will
of God.
***
In the garden of
Gethsemane, Esa (Jesus) did not really want to go through the last
stage, the crucifixion! He said to God, “May you take this cup
from me? I do not want to go through with it.” That was
not submission. “Thy Will, not mine,” is submission. But
he went through it anyway. That is why when he came back the
next lifetime, he brought the teaching of submission and
surrendering. He learned a little more about God’s Ways.
Of course, his mission was completely different then. Each time the
Messiah comes he has a different mission to perform. However,
people usually realize his station after he is gone. That is
why after they killed Esa, then people started loving him and being
so devotional toward him.
***
You have to surrender
yourself to the words revealed through the Prophets and follow them.
The Prophet himself is important only because of what he says.
So for those who put more importance on the Prophet himself than on
his words which are from God, miss the whole point. They will
call him “Lord, Lord,” but forget to follow what he said. Such
a people will not enter into heaven or the Kingdom Of God In Heaven,
because they have not purified themselves by following his teachings
and still have big false egos. Whoever has the slightest false
ego cannot enter into heaven.
***
Any Time
A New Revelation Comes To Earth, Many Are Guided And Many Others
Will Go Astray.
John taught that
Christ would come to separate the good and bad, and judge between
them in truth. He is the light and the truth. Those who
were ready would be attracted to him and those who were not ready
would be blinded by it and go far astray.
***
Whenever the Messiah
comes, he differentiates between the chaff and the wheat. That
is the prophecy. If you believe in the prophecies, all through
the prophecies it has always been suggested that the chaff will be
separated from the wheat when the Messiah comes. The person who has
been prophesied to come will do that. So whatever the Messiah,
or this Chosen Person, says is the wheat, and whatever is not
according to the wheat is the chaff. It is very simple.
***
Even Christ knew about
The Greatest Sign 2,000 years ago. He was saying the same
thing: First you start awakening your spiritual forces, then
you want to create an environment where they give you your fair
share, then you sacrifice, then you become submissive, a
universalist, pure in heart, and eventually you become a Paravipra.
The Paravipra is the peacemaker, the person who wants to create the
Communities of Light and the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
That is how peace comes to earth. At the same time there are
peacemakers in the Communities of Light too. They want
to bring harmony and oneness in the community.
So we can see the relationship between Christ’s teaching and The
Greatest Sign. Going to the sixth chakra you become a
peacemaker, you become a Paravipra. You go beyond mourning.
You become mature.
When you are mature, you are no longer poor in spirit. You no
longer mourn. You are no longer meek. You long for
righteousness, but at the same time you are pure in heart. You
have compassion for other people. You are pure in heart, you
see God in everything. And because of that you can bring peace
to others.
Then you are a leader. You are a person who can create
Communities of Light, who can see the plight of other
people. You do not want to be understood anymore. You
understand.
Why do you want to be understood? The only person you really
have to be concerned to understand you is yourself. If you
understand yourself, you do not need to be understood. If you
understand yourself, you understand God. Isn’t that it?
Know thyself to know God.
Understand yourself. Understand God. When you
understand God, you become effective, you become a peacemaker.
You no longer need to be understood. If you understand
yourself, who cares if anyone else understands you? You
understand yourself. So you become a peacemaker.
***
You
start from the I-Ching in the horizontal position. Horizontal means
not awakened. By spiritual practices you awaken your spiritual
forces. Then you try to create the Communities of Light
(
).
to create the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. In order to create the
Communities of Light, not being self-centered, or
sacrifice, is necessary (
).
Even after sacrificing, you might become attached to your sacrifice.
That is when submission (
)
comes in. You sacrifice, yet it is really God who is doing it
through you, you are not the doer.
After
being submissive, you become a Universalist (
),
God is the universe. When you go through these five steps, you
become an Elect (
),
a Paravipra. Such are the people who will help the whole universe to
reach Pure Consciousness. They themselves also reached Pure
Consciousness (
),
or are in the image of God, and they know the Will of God.
***
If your Soul and your
Spirit understand that The Goal Of The Life Is To Be(come)
Divine, And That Divinity (God) Is Everything, the way to create
peace and tranquility on earth is the Communities of Light,
and to create the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, you are a Child of
Light, an Elect.
***
Who has been
persecuted? Wasn’t Noah persecuted, and Adam, Moses, Muhammad,
and Christ? Even King David was persecuted for awhile.
He ran away and eventually returned and became King.
Who else was persecuted? Weren’t the disciples of Christ
persecuted? The disciples of Muhammad were persecuted. The
disciples of Bab were persecuted. The people who followed Noah
were persecuted.
Blessed are they, because they will inherit the Kingdom. They
have been chosen to inherit the Kingdom. They are the channels
of God. Who would be better to inherit the Kingdom than the
people who are the channels for God?
Their efforts were not wasted. Any lifetime they came, they
were persecuted. They had a hard time. But each time they
came, they gathered a few more people who would listen to them.
So their numbers increased and increased and increased.
***
Why will Christ and his
followers be preferred to the disbelievers? Because he and his
followers were always preferred to disbelievers. They
are the Elected Ones. The people who followed Christ were
Elected Ones, as the people who followed Prophet Muhammad were
Elected Ones.
These people have been reincarnated again and again, and each time
they set the world in the right direction. After they leave,
in a short period of time, humanity becomes corrupt again. So
they have to come back. Each time they come back, however,
some new people will be saved and reach higher consciousness.
This process will continue until all understand The Plan of God and
establish the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. That is why Christ
called them “the salt of the earth.” Without these people, we
would not even be here where we are now. That is why they are above
disbelievers. They are the Elected Ones, the Divines.
***
Paravipras
can be related to the last three stages of progress in The
Greatest Sign: those who reach the sixth stage in
The Greatest Sign (),those
who reach the seventh stage (),
but do not leave their bodies in order to help others reach Pure
Consciousness (men-gods or Satgurus), and those who have reached
Pure Consciousness ()
but will return to help others reach Pure Consciousness (god-men or
Avatars). However, we can say the last two are Maha-Paravipras
(Great Paravipras). With these Great Paravipras, other Paravipras,
and His First Begotten Son, God will bring His Kingdom on earth (Daharma).
His Will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
***
In The Beginning Of The
Spread Of Christianity,
The
Followers Of Esa Observed God’s
Holy Days, But After
The Romans Accepted
Christianity,
Their
Pagan Holidays Were Christianized.
After
Christianity started to flourish and was accepted by the Elected
Ones, its followers were persecuted because of its depth, truth and
being against the worldly interests of many. But, it could not
be stopped, because of the vigorous preaching of the true gospel by
Christ’s disciples and their willingness to sacrifice all things for
their ideology.
So, many churches were founded, and with the great struggle by
Christ’s disciples and many others, the seed of Christianity was
planted.
However, as it is revealed in the books after the four gospels in
the Bible (Acts, Romans, etc.) from the very beginning
many false teachers wished to influence Christ’s teachings in one
way or another (Acts 8: 1-24, Jude 4). The apostles
fought vigorously with these influences and somehow established a
pure ideology of Christ’s teachings.
These true teachings lasted about four hundred years until
Christianity was accepted by Rome’s emperors and then by the
majority of the people.
Thousands of people started to accept Christianity as their
religion. But they did not want to give up their previous
beliefs completely and follow Christianity wholeheartedly.
Many of these people had previously followed the worshipping of the
sun-god. They had many pagan ideas, festivals, holidays, etc.,
but their religions lacked the universal outlook. They
believed in the sun-god, but Christians believed in the Father, the
universal, invisible God who had complete power over the whole
universe, even over the sun.
Also the concept of Christ as being born from a virgin mother (which
he was) fit into the belief of the followers of Mithra (sun-god of
Zoroastrians) that Mithra would be born from a virgin to save the
world. Many of the Romans were followers of Mithra.
With all these factors presented, and also because of the
freedom-loving and democratic ideals of the Romans, people were left
to make anything they wanted out of Christianity.
The sun-god was replaced by the son of God. The Virgin Mary
took the place of the Virgin Mother. The Saturday Sabbath was
changed to Sunday (their day of worshipping the sun), and God’s
festivals (revealed in chapter 23 of Leviticus in the
Bible as Holy Days to keep for ever and ever) were replaced with
pagan festivals (refer to encyclopedias about the origin of
Christian festivals). In fact,
Passover, the Feast of the
Tabernacles, and other of God’s Holy Days, were observed by the
apostles and many of their followers until about 700 A.D. Many
other things were changed which cannot be found in the Bible
but are now followed by many.
However, those who were to be saved by him were saved in the first
four hundred years of Christianity. Those who had not been
saved eventually will be after many lifetimes or in future
creations.
This is, however, a historical explanation. These happenings
were revealed many centuries before they occurred in the prophecies
in the book of Daniel (The dream of King Nebuchadnezzar, the
vision of the four beasts, and the vision of the ram and the he
goat), and in The Revelation (the third church, Rev.
2:12-16).
In the visions of Daniel, the little horn, which is the symbol of
the intellectualization of things, is prophesied to change the true
religions “the same made war with the saints” (Daniel 7:21),
and to try to replace the truth by believing that the intellect of
man is superior to all things (read Commentaries on Prophecies in
Daniel, Period of Intellectual Domination in
THOTH).
Also, in
The Revelation, the last book of the Bible, in the
message to the third church (which is the third sign in The
Greatest Sign, the cross), it is revealed that in this church
there are still some who “hold the doctrine of Balaam,…”(Rev.
2:14). The “doctrine of Balaam” is the pagan ideas and
festivals which entered into this third church.
So God had revealed many centuries before what will happen in the
future. Now it is time for the human to see the limits of his
intellect and understandings, then surrender himself to God and the
words revealed through His Prophets, and overcome the confusion
between them by understanding The Greatest Sign.
Then the glory of God will be realized and His Kingdom will come on
earth as it is in heaven.
***
Actually the first
Christians celebrated the Holy Days of God for 700 years, until
Christianity became accepted by the Roman Empire. The Romans were
sun worshippers. Even their hairstyle was like the sun.
And they had a god for every element in the universe.
So, the return of the sun became the birthday of the Son of God
(equinox), which is not the truth, because Esa was not born at this
time. As we remember, the shepherds were in the mountains with
their sheep then. In the East, people do not keep their sheep
out in the desert in such cold weather. They usually put them
in special stables to keep them warm during the winter. The
weather should have been pretty nice and warm that they had their
sheep with them in the mountains. So most probably Esa was
born either in spring or late in the summer or fall. There is
no way that he was born at this time of year.
And I do not think he ever talked about Santa Claus either.
Some of these ideas come from North Europe, like Santa Claus comes
from North Europe, because they receive less and less daylight.
Actually they reach a point where the nights are very long and the
days are very short. So the return of the long days (sun) was
celebrated. Most of the ideas of Santa Claus living in the
North Pole and these myths came from the Northern part of Europe.
About having a white Christmas – well, we are not having a white
Christmas here. It is pretty dry here. These ideas all
came from northern Europe, which always has snow this time of the
year. So if we make the people think about it, then they
realize this holiday is not really related to any spiritual
significance. It is all man-made.
But because we are so engrossed in our tradition, our country or our
religion, our concepts are so narrow that we cannot let go of them.
“Oh, you mean we are not going to celebrate Christmas? We are
not going to give presents? Or we are not going to put
ornaments on the trees? It is such an awful thing, we cannot
even think about not doing that.”
They had the same type celebrations in the culture I came from. They
did not celebrate Christmas but they had something similar.
However, in order to create unity for humanity, in order to bring
God into our midst we have to let our traditions, our concepts, our
narrow views go. We have to completely eradicate those kinds
of feelings, go beyond them and say, “OK, I know where they come
from, I have to forego them and I have to follow God, because that
is the Will of God.”
***
When the religion
becomes dogma, what happens? That Message dies.
The dead body is going to be lying there but the followers will just
be clinging to the dead body and saying, “Oh, no. Our body has
been fragmented to many different sects and religions and
denominations, and every denomination or sects says, ‘I have the
answer.’”
How many denominations do we have in Christianity? We have 200
and some. How many sects do we have in the Jewish religion?
How many do we have in Islam? We have the Shi’ites. We
have the Sunnis, Hanaphies. How many do we have in Hinduism or
in the Baha’i Faith? Even the Bahá'ís split in the 1970’s.
And there are still the Babis in the Middle East who follow the Bab
instead of Bahá'u'lláh. They say Bab was the Prophet, not
Bahá'u'lláh.
So we say, “Which one is right, which sect is right?” Is the
Mission of Maitreya also going to split in many sects and
different denominations? Again, we have the opportunity to not
let it happen. It could, but we have to take the opportunity
to stop it.
` ***
Then again either,
they have to celebrate the Messiah’s birthday as he came again and
again, or they have to say, “We do not want to celebrate the
Prophet’s birthday, we want to celebrate God’s Holy Days.”
Then they have to forego birthday celebrations. If they want
to follow God’s Will, God says, “These are my Holy Days, you keep
them Holy forever.” Then they will forget about their
birthdays, holidays and Prophet’s birthdays, and they will keep the
Holy Days of God.
***
Collective thought can
exist. For instance, everyone who believes that “Christ is the
only way,” creates a concept of his own. This collective
belief or thought creates a religion. We have collective
thoughts of those who live in a nation, race, philosophy, etc.
Each of them create their own collective thought form. These
are sub-collective thought forms to the Universal Thought Form.
The greatest thought form of course, is the Universal Thought Form.
God is Thought Form, which is the lower creation to His Highest
Ideal. Any other subliminal thought forms are still separate
from this Universal Thought Form. When you expand yourself to
realize His Thought Form, these other small groups or collective
forms are dissolved.
It is like the vision Arjuna had of Krishna in His Universal Form.
God was unaffected, a witness entity to His creation, which are His
Thought Forms, but Arjuna could not bear such a vast drama of
creation being created, destroyed, etc.
So do not be trapped in small groups or subliminal thought forms.
Realize God in His Fullest.
