The First Level

In the darkness of the starlit sky, Gwendolyn was tracing the lines of a pentacle inside her sacred circle on July 10, 2010. The events that had brought her to the top of this rocky cliff on Easter Island were as compelling as those of Mother Mary in Revelation 12:1,2.

Gwendolyn's sacred space overlooked a huge expanse of ocean that stretched from South America in the east to Australia in the west; the nearest island being Pitcairn Island where Fletcher Christian had burned the Bounty and hid out from His Majesty's navy. Now this tiny speck of an island normally so far from the chaotic noise of the world was packed with people who were there to view the eclipse on the next day, July 11, 2010 at 2:011 PM at 21 degrees Cancer.

Gwendolyn had set out at sunset for her all-night vision quest, walking along the coast from the thatched cottage where she was staying. She was fortunate to have found this place of solitude where the waves below her could drown out the noise of the distant partiers.

Soon the moon would move in front of the sun and turn the world into darkness in solar eclipse. It was the symbolism of this event that had led her to Easter Island. The moon was her goddess and strength and yet it is not immune to the darkness. Every month the moon must turn from full light to darkness and then begin anew. And, like the moon, her womb would prepare for the creation of new life and then sluff its blood to begin again. A female is the nurturing force of life, absorbing the pain of a baby's cry. To fulfill this role is to be innocent and vulnerable and exposed to rape.

The dragon stood before the woman

In the cold of this reverse hemisphere winter night, Gwendolyn entered into her sacred space, tucking her long coat under her. She had wanted to be sky-clad, but was glad that she had compromised and worn a coat over her naked body. On this moonless night, Gwendolyn's light brown hair had captured the sparkles of light from the Milky Way. Her dark brown eyes reflected the inner energy and compassion of her Spirit.

Gwendolyn was sitting facing the direction where the sun would rise, with the ecliptic path of the twelve astrological signs above her head. At the middle of the night both the sun and the moon would be at her feet on the other side of the earth. At daybreak, the sign of Cancer (really the constellation of Gemini due to precession since early times) would be rising in the east; while its opposite sign, Sagittarius, would be setting in the west. Then the sign Cancer would climb the sky and, two hours after noontime, the sun and the moon would be 40 degrees above the horizon in eclipse at 21 degrees Cancer.

Evil feeds on light. Soon it would obliterate the sun in eclipse, but not before a diamond ring would appear. It was time for her to face the hard reality of that pain which is inescapable. She had tried to escape the beast of darkness, but it had gored her. She realized that now she would have to face this beast again because the fear of it had stifled the growth of her Soul. Tonight would be the final confrontation that would bring the completion of her Soul, Gwendolyn was sure.

By facing away from the world of evil, Gwendolyn had stayed focused on the light, obtaining the beginnings of a Soul. Yet by the very nature of this quest, the beast of the dark dimension of humankind seeks her out as it seeks to devour her light. The imperfection of the human psyche is always there like an infection. The 'dark night of the Soul' cannot be just once, but a lifetime of soul-searching and pain.

Gwendolyn's vision quest would compare her life with the principles of creation that had formed Mother Earth. Her emotional self had been formed in the fires of hell on earth and was ready to reach out to the intellect of the starry realm that would bring her to a kinship with God, Herself.

Gwendolyn still remembered the day that she had come of age at twelve years. As a child grown from baby to adolescent, her essence had completed twelve circuits around the zodiac. In these twelve circuits she had come in contact with the qualities of each of the twelve signs. And then at twelve she had started the process of building her Spirit body.

By spiritual standards, this Spirit body is the most important birth and it is this birth of Jesus that was just described in Revelation 12:1,2 and is also described in the Gospel of Luke 2:1-7 as if it were a newborn in a manager.

Whether or not the Spirit can grow from adolescence to adulthood, twelve years later at age twenty-four, depends on being spiritually attuned to the emotions of Spirit while sublimating the attractions of bodily desires.

Unfortunately, many get caught up with the sexual distractions of adolescence and forget the importance of the growth of their Spirit body. When these desires wane in old age, they contemplate their imminent death and try desperately to complete their Spirit body, but for most it is too late. As for the rest who are accustomed to live with hard and mean spirited natures that are governed by ego and desire, they will merely catch a glimpse of their Spirit as a shadow of themselves, before being absorbed into the white light of the hereafter.

Gwendolyn, having many years ago planted within herself the beginnings of her Soul, like 'a grain of mustard seed', was intending this night to experience the circuit of twelve signs on a world scale to complete the growth of her Soul and dedicate it to God's Will.

For the spiritually centered, the completion of a Spirit is essential because, without the Spirit, the higher body of the Soul cannot begin to form. To obtain a Spirit is relatively easy, but to obtain a Soul takes many circuits around the twelve signs of the Zodiac and sadly today is often never attained in a lifetime.

By projecting her circle into the precessional circle in the sky, she would travel through each sign like the moon does every 27.32 days.

The precessional circle is the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis, which acts very much like a top when it spins off center. The axis takes more than twenty-five thousand years to complete one cycle from beginning to end. If it were not for this tilt of the Earth's axis, there would be no seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter which define the yearly Zodiacal Cross of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, but most importantly, there would there be no Ages of Mankind such as Pisces and Aquarius.

When one enters the path of building a Soul, it is necessary to absorb all the knowledge that has been acquired by the Earth entity. This is the dust of the ground of Genesis. This dust is more precious that the dirt placed over a dead body. It is this dust that must be absorbed into ones being in order to live beyond ones short physical existence on Earth. As the Earth counts off its precessional years, so must a Soul grow from infancy at 24 years of age to old age. This is why the approaching change from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius is so important. The changes that the Earth experiences will reflect back to all people on Earth.

Gwendolyn was a Wiccan, but not an ordinary one, if by that you would think of those 'Charmed' witches from TV or the Hollywood witch stereotype who chants Bible verses backwards to conjure up the devil. She was a Wiccan in the sense of knowing that she was part of Nature and wanting to understand the messages that her Earth Mother is sending that can prevent our destruction. Even greater than that, she understood the mathematical significance of the maligned pentacle that is scientifically more significant than the accepted Hebrew six pointed star.

Precessional cycle 26,000 years (1° every 72 years)

One of the pentacle's significant qualities is that when placed inside a circle, it will divide that circle into five equal arcs each of seventy-two degrees. This value of seventy-two is a useful value to define the average lifetime of years in the family unit of daughter-mother-grandmother. It is then possible to obtain the approximate length of the complete precessional cycle by multiplying this number seventy-two by the number of degrees in a circle (360). The result is a value of 25,950 terrestrial years that gives the compete precession cycle from beginning to end.

The precessional circle can also be divided into twelve astrological signs like the yearly zodiac where each sign of the zodiac is thirty degrees of a circle corresponding to the astrological months of the earth year. (Although there are ~365.25 days in year and when divided by 12 months equals 360 days with ~5.25 days left over, the astrological precessional circle is considered to be exactly 360 degrees, thus when divided by 12 equals twelve 30 degree segments of 30+ days.)

With this value of 72, it is easy to see that 72 terrestrial years equals one precessional day. This means that one precessional day equals one human lifetime! In order to pass through one precessional astrological sign of 30 degrees, the earth's axis must pass through 30 generations, which is about 2160 years (72 years per degree x 30 degrees equals 2160 years). This gives an idea of a year to our Earth Mother thus over 21 centuries (the time of Christianity).

The last twelve years of Mother Earth (25,950 terrestrial years) have been the time that we have existed as humans and corresponds to the growth of Mother Earth from adolescence to adult. It has truly been the time of growth for the Earth's Spirit. The importance of the Age of Aquarius is clear, for it begins the development of the Earth's Soul!

From these calculations it is clear that the expected arrival of the Age of Aquarius is 2160 years after the beginning of the Age of Pisces, which, if begun at the Maccabean Revolt, has to be at the beginning of this century. (Although Pisces comes after Aquarius in astrology, the precessional direction is counter-clockwise.)

In the dark night sky of the new moon, Gwendolyn watched the twelve astrological signs arc across the heavens, as if pulled by the Southern Cross. She easily floated into a meditation on the years of our Earth Mother starting at her age at twelve with one year for each precessional astrological sign and she meditated on how these influences were reflected inside the "dust" of her own Soul which began at age 24.

Mount St. Michael, its twin in Normandy

Although Gwendolyn could have gone back to Aquarius (23rd millennium BC, 25,950 terrestrial years ago), which is further back than we have any tangible data, she decided to begin with the Capricorn Age.

Capricorn would also correspond to the Age that the Earth will enter after the Aquarius Age has ended.

First, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Capricorn (21st millennium BC) that brought the continued expanse of the Homo Sapiens. The Neanderthals were now extinct.

Like a fetus resembling certain traits of a fish, Gwendolyn thought of herself made up of ancient genes that developed in earth and sea like the mermaid, half woman and half fish.

As Gwendolyn began the growth of her Spirit at twelve, she became aware of a new faculty inside her, manifested as self-consciousness, which was actually being conscious of self. As she observed herself she realized that the way she acted for society and the way she was inside was entirely different. It was as if she has two natures: a personality and an essence.

This epiphany of her double nature, as being the growth of her Spirit body inside her, came on her first trip to England when she walked on the narrow causeway to the island of St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall with the tide coming in. Imagining herself walking on water like Jesus, she became connected to an inner source of energy and joy inside her being.

Given the juxtaposition of her current life and this joyful inner self, she realized that this just-surfaced essence, which was linked to her Spirit, had been submerged like the continent of Atlantis beneath her personality. Realizing that she had to take action or lose that part of herself, she had imagined herself riding the waves upon the surface of her personality with her essence inside; surfacing briefly like the white unicorn narwhal of the sea while nurturing her hidden Spirit self.

In those times Gwendolyn had actively pursued the development of her Spirit, but now she was sure that there was an even greater body that needed to be grown with the help of her Spirit and that was her Soul. Since her Spirit had been completed from the energies of the solar system, its Kirlian-like electrical energy could now astral project her Spirit to the stars and galaxies that would feed her Soul.

Lava of Madame Pele

Mt. Rainier

Following this, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Sagittarius (19th millennium BC) that brought about the Age when man relied on his brain to mold his existence against the elements of nature and rely less on animal instincts. The Book of Enoch says that our race began as a cross between angels and men, but this is really a metaphor for the potential within us to be as angels as long as we are not tied down by our physical bodies.

Some of the original beings were like the ancient Menehune of Hawaii. When visiting Hawaii to see the eclipse on July 11, 1991 and while walking a petrogylph trail, Gwendolyn had left wishing coins in the tree that belonged to the ancient Menehune. When she pushed these coins into the slot in the tree, they had registered like the ring of a cash register!

Later, while standing on the cooled lava that had erased the Chain of Craters road on the Big Island of Hawaii, she had first seen the Southern Cross in the pitch-black sky while flashes of glowing lava illuminated the distant darkness.

But Gwendolyn defied the goddess Pele by bringing back the forbidden golden strands of hair spun by the volcano and her life was thrown in a whirlwind of material disruption until she returned them. Yet this was the catalyst that brought about an accelerated spiritual change within her.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Scorpio (17th millennium BC), the Age of volcanoes and floods. Scorpio is one of the points of the sacred cross representing the autumn season within the four fixed signs of Scorpio (water), Leo (fire), Taurus (earth) and Aquarius (air). Though it is a water sign, it is not the water of baptism that Scorpio brings, but the deadly sting of the impending death of the Spirit that prepares the way for the Soul.

Scorpio is also the sign of the Eagle for just as the scorpion's poisonous sting prepares the Soul, so does the Eagle raise you up to Heaven. This is the energy, which bore the ark of Utnapishtim of Gilgamesh or Noah above the flood so that the world could be reborn.

On a five-day fasting vision quest on Mt. Rainier in Washington State under the guidance of the medicine man: 'Man with Ravens', Gwendolyn had also flown with the wings of this Eagle, having discarded her body as dead in fasting for five days and four nights. Then she had observed the owls of the night and the clouds of the day rushing overhead above her that told her of the future. The hunters that walked right by her did not even see her.

Niaux cave paintings

Mary's house

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Libra (15th millennium BC) of the cave painters, where man began to figure out his place in the ecological structure.

There must be balance, or else there is just chaos. Libra is the rainbow of seven colors that joins into white light and energizes the world. Given that there is positive and negative in everything, growth comes from balancing all of your three centers of body, emotion, and thought while facing the ups and downs of every day life.

As a Contemporary Artist, Gwendolyn was experimenting with the effect of the seven-toned music scale to the seven vibrations of color; very much like Vitvitskaia of Gurdjieff's Meetings with Remarkable Men.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Virgo (13th millennium BC), which brought the advanced civilization of man born not of physical origin, but of the spiritual place of the virgin, Virgo. It was the Age of the "Venus" figurines in Europe.

On her visit to ancient city of Ephesus for the August 11, 1999 eclipse, Gwendolyn had connected with the power and love of the Virgin Mary on her visit to the stone house on the top of a hill overlooking Ephesus where Mary had lived during her last years. Below were the remains of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the temple of Artemis. It was St. John, "the disciple that Jesus loved" not the St John of Revelation who had found her this place away from the troubles in Jerusalem, after her son Jesus was thought to be crucified.

Standing outside the house, Gwendolyn eyes had filled with joyful tears as she filled two water bottles from the sacred spring of Mary that baptized her Spirit and almost missed the leaving tour bus.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Leo the lion (10th millennium BC). It was the Age of agricultural villages of which the Egyptian Age was later founded upon. Being the point of the cross of the seasons representing the summer, Leo is the fire that brings the birth of intellectual understanding, which is the Soul.

Traveling along the Alexandria desert road with an escort of motorcycles to a hotel on the edge of the pyramids, Gwendolyn had meditated in the dark in the queen's chamber of the Great Pyramid, preparing for the resonating sounds that could empower the world. Nearby was the Sphinx of old that had spoken the first word "Hu" that had begun all creation.

Gwendolyn was a double lion for her Sun and her Ascendant sign were in Leo. With her Moon in Aquarius, she was truly clothed in the Sun with the Sun and Moon at her feet on the other side of the globe.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Cancer, the crab (8th millennium BC). It was the Age of empire building and destruction. The stability of the agricultural civilizations had become a struggle between the haves and the have-nots and became as unstable as the moon. It was the feminine energy that was necessary to keep the aggression of the males in line and to build a family structure.

As a child, Gwendolyn remembered enjoying the artistic process of building and decorating sand castles on the beach, seeming like a lifetime ago. These castles were a metaphor for the civilizations that would rise and fall like the tide that would wash them away.

As a Wiccan and an empath Gwendolyn knew the strong power of the Moon that empowers the feminine energy within. On a trip to the Callanish stone circle in the Hebrides of Scotland, Gwendolyn was in awe of the power of the moon as she danced naked amongst the human looking stones.

On her two previous eclipse trips, Gwendolyn would gaze in awe of the miracle of how the darkness of the new moon could reveal the beauty of the aura of the sun. As part of the recurring influence of the cycles of the moon and the tides, she did not fear the rising and waning of energy that even affects the major civilizations of the earth. Gwendolyn was always mindful of the fact that new beginnings are always as near as the returning moon's crescent that first appears out of the sunset.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Gemini (6th millennium BC), the twins, which was the Age of copper. This Age was the dividing line between old and new civilizations similar to the Old World of Europe and the New World of the Americas.

Knossos, Crete

Wailing Wall, Jerusalem

At the Mayan capital of Chitza Nitza in the Yucatan of Mexico, Gwendolyn had climbed the twin serpent stairs to the top of the pyramid. As she looked across the expanse of jungle surrounding this place, she could see the forces of earth attempting to swallow up all of civilization. This ostentatious show of grandeur could not prevent its fall. The rise and fall of civilizations should be a lesson to all the superpowers of today that a culture must transcend or die.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Taurus (4th millennium BC). It was the Bronze Age and the beginning of Minoan Civilization in Crete and Santorini with the worship of the bull (Baal). Santorini's volcanic eruption in the 2nd millennium would give rise to the legend of Atlantis.

Being the point of the celestial cross that was in Spring sign of Taurus, it represented the Spirit force of the Earth that nourishes the Soul. In Crete where the Minotaur hides in its labyrinth cave, she could sense that to escape from the deceptive forces of the world would require always a connection to her Spirit, like the thread that Theseus used to return from the maze.

Gwendolyn had learned to maintain the connection with her body when her Spirit was in astral travel. It is this thread that connects loved ones from the other side.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Aries (2nd millennium BC), the Ram, of Moses, whose horn sounded by Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho.

Visiting the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem, she had realized that it was impossible for the New Jerusalem to be created in Jerusalem because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are too interconnected. This closeness has led to a collision of faiths and a history of years and years of hatred and violence.

The only hope is that the evolution of Spirit will one day show that God is truly One and that all names of God are the same.

Then, Gwendolyn entered into the Age of Pisces (1st millennium BC), the fish, with the fishes of Christianity, and the crescent moon of Islam. Although the lotus flower of Buddha technically belongs to the Aries Age, there is certainly a relationship between the three major religions with Islam and Buddhism existing approximately 550 years on either side of Christianity. The lotus flower floats on the water, the fishes swim inside it, and the moon controls the tides.

Since these three religions were formed within a millennium of time, at the start of the Age of Pisces, perhaps they were meant to be one teaching in three parts, as Faith, Love, and Hope are a whole.

Buddhist prayer begins with the mind where Faith is born, Christian prayer begins with the heart where Love is born, and Islamic prayer begins with physical prayer where Hope sustains one.

However, all three are similar with respect to the struggle within oneself of opposite forces. In Buddhism it is the struggle of desire and non-desire, in Christianity it is between goodness and evil, and in Islam it is submission to God over personal desires.

Of these three, Buddhism is the only one that has not been manipulated to support the killing of other human beings mainly because it grew out of Hinduism that respects all living beings.

With Pisces being the symbol of two fishes it has represented our struggle with opposites: the positive and the negative. Gwendolyn was looking forward to the Age of Aquarius where these opposites soon would be replaced by the neutral force of Aquarius with its two wavy lines that are separate and not joined that will smooth the sharp edges of the Pisces sign and connect us to parallel universes.

Then, Gwendolyn envisioned the new world that would be our future in the coming Age of Aquarius. Being the Winter sign of the ecliptic cross, Aquarius represents the air that brings the breath of Spirit that balances the forceful fire of Leo and the stubborn earth of Taurus to transform the cosmic void of Scorpio into the Allness of Soul.

Gwendolyn knew that the coming of the Age of Aquarius would require a new connection with the masculine power of Jesus and the feminine power of Mother Mary. Deep inside she knew that she would be the one to bring the Mary energy that would connect with Jesus energy to create a new Christianity that would be the true Revelation.

Now, having traveled through 25,950 terrestrial years, Gwendolyn ended her meditation. She was ready for whatever this day would bring.

In twenty-six days it would be Gwendolyn's birthday, which was the same day that the assumption of the Virgin Mary to heaven was once celebrated and also the day that the United States dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Her birth in the fire of Leo had placed her between two events where matter was dissolved into energy as in the formula: E = mc², one spiritually good and the other humanly evil. Her moon in the air of Aquarius, having an astrological symbol similar to the sign for infinity, gave her a psychic resonance to the Age of Aquarius.

Although the precise start date for the beginning of the Age of Aquarius has been hard to predict, the date of December 21, 2012 would match up elegantly with many diverse predictions and calculations. Ever since the musical "Hair", most people have been expecting the Age of Aquarius to start, but by now they have given up waiting. There was "Harmonic Convergence", the Y2K computer meltdown, Nostradamus' prediction of the fiery end of the towers in the new city, but the most important predictor for this new date is that it corresponds to the end of the current Mayan Long Count Calendar that shows no Age after it. In addition, there are also many other predictions that align with this date such as the Egyptian Nermer plate and the I Ching.

The Age of Pisces, which began in the Spring sign of the Ecliptic Cross, Taurus, has always been associated with Christianity especially with its symbol of the two fishes and the Easter resurrection. For the Apocalypse to occur at the end of the Age of Pisces would seem to be a logical assumption. Clearly, the world is becoming more and more at risk from religious holy wars and there needs to be a new paradigm, not only for Christianity, but also for all religion. With Aquarius as the winter sign of the Ecliptic Cross, the Age of Aquarius would have to begin on the winter solstice. It was no coincidence that the twenty-first of December is almost the same as the Celtic derived Christmas birthday of Jesus moved from March.

Evidence has shown that Jesus was a contemporary of the writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls living at Qumran on the shore of the Dead Sea. By the application of the pesher method on the New Testament, it can be shown that Jesus was born and accepted into the monastic community of Qumran. Qumran had once been an Essene community, but in Jesus' time appeared to be a mixture of Essenes, Sadducees, and Zealots. It further appears that Jesus must have been the 'Wicked Priest' in the Scrolls because he was a member of the 'Seekers of Smooth Things' and that he 'flouted the law' by attempting to take the priesthood from the Sadducees and to have the audacity to allow Gentiles and women into the congregation.

Given Jesus' Essene Qumran connection, it would be reasonable to date the beginning of the Age of Pisces at around 149 BC, given that 'The Testament of Levi' gives the date of 140 BC from 168, week 5 of a 7 years week (jubilee) as the date when the Essenes 'return to the land of their desolation'. (The desolate land would clearly be the shore of Dead Sea at Qumran.)

Thus the Essenes could have founded Qumran during the Maccabean rule. This rebellion gained freedom for the Jews, but was also characterized by impiety. This would support the year 2012 for the Age of Aquarius. (72 years per degree x 30 degrees equals 2160 years for a precessional era which corresponds to 149 BC (minus 1 for no 0 BC/AD) + 2012 AD = 2160.

Easter Island, though known to the ancients as Rapa Nui, seemed to Gwendolyn to be an appropriate place for the resurrection of Spirit and the birth of her Soul. With the narrow eclipse path there are only a few places to view a solar eclipse. It could not be a coincidence that Easter Island is located on a similar longitudinal line as her home in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island.

Even the name of her home island, San Juan, Spanish for St. John, connected her to a personal Revelation. It was St. John who had co-authored the book of Revelation together with others, he being the brother of James, both apostles of Jesus.

She could already sense the similarity of energy between Easter Island and her home island as the two remnants of the ancient area of Lemuria (also known as Mu). The power of these connections made her sure of the need to be on Easter Island at this time.

The three volcanic peaks on the edges of the island formed a unique relationship since, by drawing lines to connect the peaks to form a triangle, the isosceles triangle would contain two base angles of thirty-six degrees. Such a triangle would have sides that are in the golden proportion to the base.

As an artist, Gwendolyn was aware of the power of the paintings of DaVinci and Botticelli because of their use of the golden proportion in the placement of their characters. Michelangelo, also, used this proportion, which is contained in all perfect human bodies down to the smallest detail. By giving David larger hands than would be expected by that proportion, he created a strong image of David in his statue. Clearly, it is no surprise that the Great Pyramid, whose massive beauty stands out across the Nile as the greatest wonder of the world, was built with sides equal to phi and height equal to the square root of phi, the golden proportion.

With the golden proportion capable of defining beauty and regeneration in all things, Gwendolyn had made sure that the sacred circle in which she was sitting included this proportion. As she was drawing her circle, it had flashed through her mind how this proportion was related to the rabbit riddle of Fibonacci. She had laughed when she thought about the juxtaposition of rabbits and Easter Island. Her mother-in-law would certainly have said, "Rabbits", as this was her favorite expression.

For those who have not studied mathematics, the rabbit riddle was proposed by Fibonacci as a series that approaches the value of phi, the golden proportion. The symbol phi is the irrational number 1.618.., but, in a more tangible way, the golden proportion represents the division of something so that the two divisions are in the same proportion as the large division is to the original.

Another way to derive phi is as the square root of 5 + 1 divided by 2. With the pentagram having five sides, it is not surprising that the pentagram has a strong relationship to the golden proportion. If triangles are placed, like pointy witches' hats, on each of the pentagram's sides, a pentagram star will be created. Within this pentagram star, the golden section would be reflected in every line relationship.

Using these sacred principles, Gwendolyn had fashioned for herself a pentacle necklace with a Christian cross in the middle. It was her personal symbol, which represented her inner inspiration as a Wiccan of Celtic descent and a follower of the teachings of Jesus.

Though this symbol would often cause her to be confronted by people who saw Wicca and Christianity as opposites, she would laugh and say how it was the same as Gurdjieff's book, Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson. Since most people do not know of this book, with their attention diverted, she could then change the subject. The last thing she wanted was to engage in a heated discussion that would not change anyone's opinion.

The Greek Christian cross, which has four equal sides, is just an older symbol for the Sacred Four. Rather than construct her Western Christian cross with a line anywhere above the center, Gwendolyn was careful to move the center of gravity of her cross to line up to the golden proportion position.

With the golden proportion twice reflected in her cross, Gwendolyn felt that her cross was a symbol of the golden rule: the requirement to balance suffering with Love centered in the heart.

The silver fraction of the moon (7/19)

Gwendolyn constructed her sacred circle with a diameter of thirteen feet; so that the length of each line of the inner pentagram star would be have an approximate length of 12.364 feet. This decimal part of this number is another sacred number: the silver fraction that is seven-nineteenths. This would allow her to be in harmony with the solar year and the lunar year since it is that part of a moon month that when added to twelve moon months equals one solar year. The silver fraction was revered by the ancients and thus the numbers: seven and nineteen appear in many ancient stone rings.

She had always found it significant that the two powerful numbers of the golden proportion and the silver fraction are irrational numbers. Although scientists have always hoped to derive all existence on this physical plane, from a few simple numbers; clearly, spiritual forces cannot be defined by simple mathematics. Spiritual forces, like irrational numbers, are defined in their interaction rather than by some static result. This is why knowledge once learned is empty, for it is only in the learning process that one can uncover the essence of that knowledge.

Gwendolyn's sacred circle, and pentagram star inside it, would connect her to the silver essence of the moon and the golden essence of the sun.

With the power of the sun and the moon, Gwendolyn would be prepared to battle with the dark dragon of the moon's node.

Gwendolyn thought how tonight this dragon would be hiding unseen behind the black disk of the new moon near the sun's corona, but soon in eclipse it to would devour the sun.

It was at Jesus' Bar Mitzvah that Joazar Boethus the high priest had declared Jesus an illegitimate child because Joseph had initiated sex before the allowed time. Boethus was the dragon that threatened Mary, but right at that time he was replaced by the Sadducee priest Ananus the Elder (High Priest 6-15 AD) (as a Sadducee his title was 'God' in the same way that Jesuits are called 'Father'). Although Ananus would angrily confront Jesus at the Crucifixion, he needed to show Rome that he advocated peace in light of the defeat of Judas the Galilean in 6 AD and was willing to recognize Jesus as legitimate.

Archelaus had been deposed as the fatted calf and with him Joazar Boethus as high priest. Theudas, the Prodigal Son, who had supported Judas with the fees from the Diaspora, came back to the peace party of Simeon who recognized Jesus as legitimate. This story is contained in Jesus' two-leveled parable: the Prodigal Son.

Gwendolyn attention had been diverted for a moment, but then she saw out of the corner of her eye, the constellation of Draco, pop his head above the north horizon and then slither backward to the North Star, which was hidden from view in the Southern hemisphere.

For a moment Gwendolyn allowed her fears to get the better of her and she let her thoughts connect with evil people that had been attracted like moths fly to a flame to her spiritual light to cause her harm in her past. She knew that she should not let this happen, but the intensity of her purpose had allowed her memories to get the better of her.

Regardless of whether this disruption was real or imagined, Gwendolyn had already agreed to stay inside her circle and to submit to the Will of God. In any case, to grow spiritually, Gwendolyn knew that she must not to be afraid of evil or afraid to face any torture that evil may bring. Most of all, survival in the physical world is a precious gift that must not be cast away.

Two centuries ago, Jesus had tried to follow God's Will (under his Father Jonathan's direction), that he must agree to be nailed to the cross and to bear the pain until the agreed time, namely the three hours of darkness (the clock adjustment) when he would take a suicide concoction of scorpion venom. With luck he could be revived and facilitate the rescue of his friend and superior, Simon Magus, and himself. God's Will is a metaphor for releasing ones self from the ties of Body and Spirit which prevent the growth of Soul. Even in defeat, Christianity succeeded when Jesus walked out of his tomb alive.

Mistakenly, we look at many bad events in our lives and believe that our future is dark, but even thunderclouds have lightening bolts that can bring flashes of spiritual good. It was a lightening bolt that created life on the Earth! In the theory of quantum mechanics, which strangely describes sub-atomic reality correctly, there is always a small probability that anything is possible. In fact it is one of these infinitesimal probabilities that accounted for the creation of the whole universe! There are potentials for miracles in our lives every day.

Gwendolyn knew the unpredictably of life and that the fairytale existence is not possible on earth for there is good and bad. What does the mind know of reality? Today is today. It rarely participates in our present, but only records it. Spirit remains always innocent and pure and is the only reality that truly exists. The tapes in our head may be triggered by emotion, but the on/off switch is our Soul.

Fearing their own frailty, people decorate their heroes with powers and traits that they could never have in the physical world. They say: Mohammed can move mountains; Jesus can raise the dead; Moses can part the Red Sea; even the human hero, Washington, can throw a silver dollar over the Potomac. Though these myths are inspirational, the danger lies in the impossibility of any physical being from attaining the level of these mythic beings. The greatest danger to these myths is that it may cause us to give up and never take action against the inertia of our own lives.

Ironically, people ridicule the myths of the ancients and yet believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and ascended to Heaven. It is true that Jesus was an exemplary person, but his myth is based on many fabrications. Soon or later we must face up to the human-ness of the mythic Jesus, the mythic Mary, the mythic Buddha, or the mythic Mohammed. By knowing that these mythic people were just like us, it allows us also to attain great things. It is too difficult to emulate a super-human myth.

The Qumran community believed that only they would go to heaven and all those outside the community were already dead. Though they practiced celibacy, they also recognized that the only way to preserve their priestly and kingly lines was to allow marriage under certain circumstances. They developed this complicated system whereby there would be a betrothal period beginning in June with no sexual relations and then a trial marriage after September. December was the best time since 'being unclean' (having sexual relations) would prevent the males from attending important religious ceremonies. (Hanukkah had not yet been invented.)

Only when the female bride had proved that she could conceive and carry the child for three months, thus by March, was there a final marriage that was permanent. This final marriage would be in March like Mary Magdalene's, just before the Crucifixion. The birth would then occur during the holiest time in September. This concept was of benefit to both spouses. If after the time limit of three years, the female still could not conceive there was no need for a divorce and the female could still be considered a virgin.

Mary was betrothed to Joseph, a descendent from King David, according to these rules. The background of Joseph is covered in the Prodigal Son as he was the faithful son. As Theudas succumbed to the loose living of the Roman 'pigs' (who ate pork), so did Joseph succumb to sexual desire in the defiling of his betrothed, Mary. His actions made Jesus a bastard son, although recognized as King by the Samaritans (Magi) and Therapeuts (Shepherds).

In the Qumran community, females were considered to be of low status equal merely to Gentiles (the uncircumcised) and, of course, subservient to their husbands. Since the evidence shows that Jesus' birth date was March, 7 BC, then it was clear that the celibacy rule had been violated in June, right after their betrothal. The real question here was whether Mary consented. Gwendolyn was sure that Virgin Mary would have remained pure, thus it was spousal rape.

Jesus' illegitimacy would plague him constantly since his younger brother James was conceived according to the rules and therefore would be the legitimate David king according to strict standards. In this struggle to be accepted, good did triumph, for Jesus dedicated his life to raise the status of religious outcastes like himself. By allowing women and Gentiles to be bishops and cardinals in the church, Jesus founded a new religion based on merit alone and not heredity.

Technically 'virgin' is often used as a title like 'nun' just as all the females in the convent were given the title of Mary, however, there is an interesting twist to the story. If Mary had not conceived, Joseph could have terminated his relationship with her and she would still be considered a virgin by Essene law in March. Instead Mary delivered Jesus in March and, since the priest was willing to assign the previous June conception to coincide with after September, she could be considered as having a virgin birth. The problem of a God being born from a man was now solved through a technicality.

Jesus would be officially assigned the traditional birth date of a David king in September, which would later be moved by the Christian church to December to align it with the popular pagan birthday of Mithras, who was also buried in a tomb and after three days was resurrected.

The application of this marriage rule also applied to Jesus and Mary Magdalene and thus she was three months pregnant in March, just before the Crucifixion. The anointing ceremony of Jesus by Mary Magdalene was not to prepare him for crucifixion, which would be absurd, but rather to tell him that he is a father and that their marriage is now permanent.

With the knowledge that Mary Magdalene was three months pregnant with Jesus' child, the translation of what Jesus was believed to have said on the cross about being concerned for his mother was concern for his child and Magdalene.

As the night continued, Gwendolyn could feel the evil that was about to put her in physical danger. She held on to the knowledge that good does not necessarily triumph over evil, but rather that a person triumphs in Spirit by doing good. The greater the suffering on the physical level, the more beautiful and powerful the reward in Spirit.

Just then Gwendolyn felt a tightness in her stomach and then something inside her that seemed like the intense pain of childbirth. Perhaps it was the vibrations that precede an earthquake. She thought she was going to faint as Jesus did on the cross when he was given the poison. It started to rain and Gwendolyn fell into a trance. The rain made her remember her recurring dream of a tsunami crashing over her head and taking her life in a peaceful swirl of water.

In her trance, Gwendolyn stood up with arms out wide to embrace her physical death as the column of water advanced quickly toward her. Feeling like Moses leading the Israelites across the Red Sea or Jesus walking upon the stormy water, she stood bravely before the towering wave that would swallow her up or bring the birth of her Soul.

Falling deeper and deeper under the irresistible force of the ocean wave, Gwendolyn felt as though it was all right to allow death to take her. It would be an easy death, she thought.

As she started to swim into the tunnel of light, she heard the groans of the people who were trapped in the hell that was their own making. But as she looked further into the tunnel, she had a feeling that her death was not going to be an easy passing. There coming towards her was a beast-like creature! It had a callous and threatening attitude that seemed to be the accumulation of all evil in the world.

Clearly, if this was going to be the end of her life, it would not be a simple sleep; it would certainly be a painful passing, but she was going to stand fast for the sake of her Soul.

As the beast-like person approached, Gwendolyn could see that he was riding on a sea serpent. "Is this Draco coming down from the sky to the North?" Gwendolyn said to herself. Yet it seemed that it resembled more the sea monster Cetus, the lesser sign of Pisces. This realization made her even more fearful for she knew that with Pisces being the symbol of Christianity, that Cetus would represent the distortion of the teachings of Jesus. There were possibly none crueler that the torturers of the Inquisition or the witch-hunting Puritans.

The very Christians, who fear the beast of Revelation, would certainly kill the returned Christ, not recognizing him, as the Jewish priests killed Christ. The Jewish priests thought they had prevented the coming of the Age of Pisces by crucifying Jesus and, clearly, the beast-like creature would not hesitate to commit murder rather than allow this next Age of Aquarius to come. It would mean the loss of its power.

The beast with seven heads and the Lamb of 666

The beast was followed by a whole mass of shadowy people with dead eyes that reflected their strange insane fire within. Evil often has no difficulty in attracting people to its cause. These ghost-like people milling around the beast-like creature, as if in state of ecstasy, were typical of the many people in the world who are deluded by evil leaders.

"Look at that naked girl, lets grab her," they shouted.

Sensing the power of the beast-like creature's self-centered ego, Gwendolyn could see that its ambition was to bend everything to its will. She felt herself come under the influence of its evil aura that seemed to drain away her light like a black hole in the stars. Gwendolyn remained calm knowing that by keeping her emotions bathed in goodness and her thoughts pure as heaven she would be untainted by evil.

Gwendolyn, realizing that she had long ago discarded her soaking heavy coat, was amazed to see a linen cloth floating by and she wrapped herself in it, remembering that linen was the garment of an initiate in Qumran. She stood up bravely to face the danger that could result in her death.

"I have the power over all the people of the world," said this beast-like creature, "I will let you in on the secret of my invincibility. The secret is that I do not have remorse for my actions. You are weak and easily controlled by force because you hold no anger or hate towards your fellow beings. This is why evil is your master and you must bow down before me."

As it was in the time of Jesus, Gwendolyn knew that on the surface it might appear that the world is only controlled by the sins of greed and ego; and yet all evil is defeated by time. In some cases the struggle between good and evil can take many generations and in some cases it is immediate, but good always outlasts the bad.

Even so, Gwendolyn knew that alone she would not be able to conquer this beast-like creature and its cronies, but she had made a pact with her six other Spirit-sisters for just such a time. They had promised each other that if any of them needed help, that they could summon each other across astral plane of Spirit. Their pact had been made in astral blood, they were blood-sisters.

Since each sister symbolically possessed one of the powers of the seven seals, Gwendolyn would have the power of the seven chakras of Spirit to fight the evil creature. She prepared to call each of them across the astral plane.

Michael defeats the dragon.
Woman is given two wings of an angel

first & second horsemen

Gwendolyn opens the first seal.

She inhales deeply and calls out, "I summon the first power of my Body: the base of my spine is the midpoint of the life force that connects the moon at my feet and the sun at the top of my head."

"Please, be present to me, Vitskaia. You who is named after the 'Remarkable Woman' of Gurdjieff, who has an affinity to Helena, consort of Simon Magus, and the Samaritan woman at the well who talked with Jesus; and Martha, the superior of Mary Magdalene; and Helena, the goddess known as the 'First Thought' of Simon, 'The Standing One'."

The karmic astral plane opens up and a horse the color of shimmering moonlight on the water, begins to appear as if from the center of the galaxy. Seated calmly upon this white horse is a rider holding the bow of Diana, the goddess of the Moon.

High Priesthood of the House of Ananus: Ananus ben Seth (6-15) (father) Eleazar ben Ananus (16-17) (first son) Joseph-Caiaphas (18-36/37) (son-in-law of Annas) Jonathan ben Ananus (36/37-44) (second son) (James of Alphaeus, Nathaniel) (assassinated by procurator Felix in 57 AD) Theophilus ben Ananus (37-41) (third son) (Dedication in Luke Gospel and Acts) Matthias ben Ananus (43) (fourth son) (Matthew, author of Gospel) Ananus ben Ananus (63) (fifth son) (Zacchaeus - climbed the sycamore tree in Luke 19 2-10) (Murdered outside the Temple in 68 AD)

Then the rider speaks, "I am Vitskaia. As the moon collects the rays of light from the sun, I illuminate the darkness with my light. Centered in the moon, I am the place where the journey starts and I am the reflection of the final destination. Though my emotions rise and fall like the tides of the moon, my thoughts still arise in the orange glow of a lunar eclipse when illuminated by the Earth's atmosphere."

"I keep my nerve pathways rooted in the earth like the tree of life. With my heart and mind reaching to the Sun, I connect to the Infinite. Facing each day with the energy and purpose of a baby just born into the world, I do not fear death because my essence is eternal."

Vitskaia dismounts and embraces Gwendolyn.

Vitskaia gives her bow and quiver to Gwendolyn and she shoots an arrow into the beast's leg.

The beast-like creature just pulls the arrow from its leg as blood drips down it. The beast smears it around and laughs, "I enjoy the sight of blood. My favorite image is the blood dripping from Jesus body on the cross. Healing is easily accomplished by the body's immune system. Anyway, I know the secret of Jesus' healing: he didn't. The beast laughs again, "Hate to disappoint you, all just metaphor. You are no match for me on this level."

Gwendolyn and Vitskaia continue to embrace, unaffected by the beast-like creature's arrogance, their essences glowing like the moon and the Sun.

As Gwendolyn removes her thought connection with Vitskaia, the astral thread dissolves, returning Vitskaia back to her physical body.

Gwendolyn opens the second seal.

She takes a deep breath from the place below her ribs to combine the air from her lungs to the blood from her heart and calls out: "I summon the second power of my Body: let the adrenaline in my spleen energize my blood not in 'fight or flight', but 'in love', raising the level of my heart, so that I can connect with the planetary energy that exists in the air."

"Please, be present to me, Sheba. You who is named after the Queen of Sheba, the lover of King Solomon, the protector of the Ark of the Covenant, who has an affinity with Phoebe, the daughter of Mary Magdalene and Jesus, and the wife of the Apostle Paul.

The karmic astral plane opens up and a red horse in the color of a blushing bride, like a fiery meteor dropping from the sky, appears from above with a rider who carries the sword of Mars (Ares).

Then the rider places her hand on the hilt of her sword, but does not unsheathe it, speaking, "I am Sheba, no longer quick to anger when acting only from the spleen. The Greeks may have considered this organ to be the seat of emotions, but this archaic expression is merely a characterization of the endocrine system which is throughout the whole body."

"I use the energy of Mars to focus my actions rather than to excite violence and I balance this energy with the love and compassion of my heart: as the goddess Venus draws its strength from the energy of the god Mars."

"My sword is forged by God for the angel at the Garden of Eden to protect the source of life within me. I wish for my heart to be the foundation of my Spirit."

Sheba jumps from her horse and in one graceful move kneels before Gwendolyn and kisses her hands. Gwendolyn holds Sheba's hand bringing her to a standing position. Embracing Sheba, she says, "You have learned to control the zeal of the beast, the number of 666, which can lead to evil or good. You now know the true meaning of love. My love is with you always."

Drawing the sword from Sheba's scabbard, Gwendolyn plunges the sword of light into the beast's heart.

The beast-like creature laughs again and says, "You missed me; for I do not have a heart. By acting from my spleen, I inflict pain on others and I am energized by the fear and pain that arises in my innocent prey when I put my knife to their throat or my gun to their head. When people speak my servant's name: '666', I control their empty hearts and minds. You only show your weakness, to place your trust in love."

Gwendolyn and Sheba answer, "Without a heart you cannot ever gain a Spirit and will forever live within one-third of your empty self. There will be no forgiveness or resurrection for you."

As Gwendolyn removes her thought connection with Sheba, the astral thread dissolves, returning Sheba back to her physical body.

third & fourth horsemen

Gwendolyn opens the third seal.

She focuses and nourishes her mind by combining the sexual energy which travels up to her brain along her nerve pathways with the energy of her heart and calls out, "I summon the third power of my Body: I consciously direct my sexual energy to create the energy that ignites the fire within my brain to connect to God's intuition. I do not fear its dangerous power."

"Please, be present to me, Khadija. You who is named after the first wife of Mohammed, who has an affinity to Mary Magdalene who was the first wife of Jesus and bore him a daughter and two sons, I call on you. Though the church has maligned you as a prostitute, you were the virgin that gave the world the Holy Grail of Jesus' bloodline. Please, be present to me!"

A black horse appears from the karmic void. The woman rider holds a balancing scale in her hand. The balancing scale, like the Greek Fates of Saturn, is the mind; for the mind must balance the passions of the heart against uncontrolled sexual energy.

Then the rider speaks, "I am Khadija, I have learned to be balanced in purity, but I am neither a nun nor a monk for I delight in its ecstasy. As the most powerful force in the body, sexual energy can harm or heal. With its power we are witches and sorcerers being trusted to use its energy for good."

"As Athena was born from the mind of Zeus, so must the mind remain pure so that it can give birth to the Soul as the heart gives birth to the Spirit. I do not allow my mind to waste its time in idle conversation that is based on sexual or emotional excess, but I use my sexual energy to energize my mind and I do not substitute sex for love."

Khadija dismounts and kisses Gwendolyn's feet. Gwendolyn takes her hand and lifts her up, as Khadija says, "The woman fallen and the virgin exalted, balanced together in Soul and Spirit, sisters always!" They embrace.

Khadija hands over to Gwendolyn the measuring scale that she is carrying, made up of a chain with a pan on either side. Gwendolyn throws it at the beast and it wraps around its neck. Gwendolyn pulls on one end of the measure saying, "Sorry, but your brain has come up empty and you think from your groin." With one more tug, the beast's head falls off.

The beast-like creature places its head back on its shoulders, speaking to them, "I am superior because I answer to no God. I gain my power from sex and violence. See how my eyes shine with power."

Gwendolyn and Khadija answer the beast-like creature, "Your eyes shine from insanity and are a reflection of your impotence. You have no independent thought because you are a slave to your desires. Love protects the Spirit world from all evil. Your Soul will never exist. At the end of your life, your etheric body will torment you with your own evil as you try to avoid facing your inevitable annihilation."

As Gwendolyn removes her thought connection with Khadija, the astral thread dissolves, returning Khadija back to her physical body.

Gwendolyn opens the fourth seal.

She exhales as she centers her heart in love and holds her mind in the silent clarity that opens the door to heaven and calls out, "I summon my fifth power, which is the gift of Spirit. Although my etheric body begins with my fourth power centered at my heart, I choose this fifth power, centered in my throat, as a road sign that helps me to envision a world beyond death and rebirth to the world of Spirit and Soul."

"Please, be present to me, Atira. You, whose name means 'prayer' in Hebrew, who has an affinity to Harim, the woman who tamed the passions of Enkidu in Gillgamesh, and to Paulina, the granddaughter of Jesus and the daughter of Phoebe and Paul, who wrote the truth about Jesus' Resurrection, please be present to me!"

A green horse appears from karmic plane, like the charged particles of the sun that ignite the northern sky into the hazy dancing streaks of the green and colored aurora. Upon this horse is a female rider who appears like the winged feet of the messenger Mercury carrying a wand.

Then the rider speaks, "I am Atira. It is from God that I gained rulership over my physical body and my etheric body, for these bodies are just Death and the After-life. I center myself in my throat that is the pathway from my lungs to my mind. I proclaim the real purpose of life to be higher than this physical existence. It is higher than my Spirit body that has helped me to envision a Soul. To gain an eternal Soul is the purpose of all persons who exist in the Universe."

Atira leaps down from her horse. Gwendolyn embraces her saying, "Thank you Atira. It is necessary to be constantly reminded that we can be more than our physical existences. It is so easy to forget that we are given this chance on earth to gain a Spirit and a Soul in Heaven."

Atira gives the magician's wand to Gwendolyn and with it she makes the sign of the cross in front of the beast-like creature, saying, "Your body is just a rotting corpse. Be gone with you and reap your rewards in the Hell that will be your After-life."

The beast becomes barely visible like a ghost and the only way to be aware of its presence was by its shadowy imprint and its occasional eerie shrieks.

From the place of its emptiness, the beast-like creature speaks in a chillingly cold voice, "You see my etheric body still lives! This proves that I have a Spirit. As long as I can fill it with evil, I can exist forever in darkness."

Gwendolyn and Atira speak to the beast-like creature, "Darkness cannot banish light. It is Light that banishes darkness. You have no power here and your emptiness will be clear to you in time. A ghost is not a Spirit. Your life in this death will be a living hell."

As Gwendolyn removes her thought connection with Atira, the astral thread dissolves, returning Atira back to her physical body.

Gwendolyn opens the fifth seal.

She put her hand on her heart. "I summon my fourth power, which is the gift of Spirit; for you are my muse that brings me to a special place separate from this world.

As I travel to the heights of ecstasy and deepest lows of depression, I am constantly reminded that the joys that arise from the body are fleeting and impermanent. By allowing my consciousness to remain impartial, I find that suffering arises in this physical plane, but that by understanding the pain of others, I can build a second body that is my ark that will float above the chaos and death of our world."

"Isis. please be present to my 'consciousness. You who is named after the Egyptian god, wife to the resurrected Osiris, and whose son Horus has the all-seeing eye of the Spirit body to which Isis gave birth. You who has an affinity to Priscilla, the wife of the apostle John, the writer of Revelation, son of Caesar, and the twin brother of James; working tirelessly to build the newly founded Christian Church."

I know that 'consciousness' is an ephemeral state for the majority of human beings. Those, who follow 'the pursuit of happiness', that is merely the 'pursuit of property' to the exclusion of others, which does not bring happiness, believe that they are independent. Existing in a hypnotic state controlled by advertisements and news reports, they are actually asleep.

Yet, even for those others who are awake enough to try to face the contradictions of their own actions and to grow spiritually, the attainment of a prolonged state of 'consciousness' is difficult to attain.

'Consciousness' is often described in the negative as when you are conscious of yourself when walking into a room of people and finding yourself, many hours later, regaining consciousness, but this is merely 'attention'. True 'consciousness' is only really attainable when a Spirit body is formed inside.

fifth & sixth seal

To actively pursue the creation of a Spirit within, without drugs, requires the willingness to recognize the 'buffers' of ones personality. These 'buffers' have been artificially placed around our inner being by our outer ego to protect itself. The loss of these 'buffers' inevitably leads to uncovering the pain and loneliness of your neglected inner self, but it is from the inner self that a Spirit grows.

Isis takes Gwendolyn's hand and pulls her Spirit above the earth, saying, "You ascend to the heavens because you have centered your emotions in your heart, which feeds your Spirit. Having cleansed yourself from the sins of earth in second baptism, you are born again in Spirit."

Isis and Gwendolyn kiss each other, being energized by the impartial love of Spirit. With Gwendolyn comforted again in a state of sustained Spirit, Isis disappears to return to her body.

Gwendolyn opens the sixth seal.

Gwendolyn cups her hands as if to hold the disc of the sun in the sky and calls out, "I summon my sixth power, which is the reward of Soul, that is fed by the Will of God and is eternal. It is the representation of my perfect Self, constantly refined."

"Please, be present to me, Yashodra. You who is named after the wife of Buddha. Your affinity is with Bernice, who was both the Queen of Judea, dressed in purple and gold, and the cardinal of the Herodian Church, dressed in red, called the scarlet women of Revelation."

Yashodra appears and takes Gwendolyn's hand and they spiral upwards in the vortex to the dome of the invisible Souls at the center of the galaxies, saying, "Do not be afraid, for your body can still ground you."

Without the help of the opposing force of body, Souls are in constant danger of falling under the fairytale enchantment of the Spirit world. For those, who have not succeeded in gaining a Soul in their physical lifetime, there is still a chance to gain a Soul while the Spirit still lives. One must remember that ones Spirit, though existing after ones physical death, also eventually dies and that it is easier to attain a Soul on earth than in heaven. After the death of the Spirit the only chance for perfection is to be reincarnated in another physical body, but at the cost of forgetfulness.

Gwendolyn was mindful of the reason that physical life is precious and not to be given up prematurely by suicide, even as one watches ones physical body begin to disintegrate in old age and disease.

Yashodra caresses Gwendolyn's forehead, saying, "As Zeus and Jupiter rule all the gods, so can your Soul practice the rulership of your Spirit and body. You must praise God for every minute that has been granted to you in your physical body for the perfection of your Soul. By sacrificing your Spirit and foregoing its power, your Soul can accomplish God's Will on earth. For this purpose was every human born. There is no joy other than this in the universe."

Having reconnected with the unlimited energy from the center of the universe, Gwendolyn and Yashodra embrace and Yashodra disappears to return to her body.

The seventh seal is broken

As Gwendolyn looked down toward the earth, she saw that she was standing on the top rung of a ladder. Clearly, it was Jacob's ladder for it extended all the way back to earth. Calling back all of the six sisters at once this time, she looked below her on the next rung of the ladder and saw Yashodra, in amongst the galaxies of the Soul. Below Yashodra was Atira in the Milky Way galaxy and then Isis in the Solar System, both in the realm of Spirit. Below them were Khadija at the Sun, then Sheba in the atmosphere above the Planet Earth, and then Vitskaia standing on the Moon.

As the energy within this heavenly ladder had begun to increase as it flowed from lower to higher, the six sisters raised their heads towards Gwendolyn to show that they were ready. Gwendolyn raised her hands like the conductor of an eternal concert. The music that played was the music of stillness and peace, yet it filled all the senses with sound.

Gwendolyn opens the seventh seal.

A rush of electricity travels from Gwendolyn's heart up both sides of her head to her eyebrows as her Soul begins to control her being. She understands what it would be like to be an archangel, neither female nor male, but androgynous. It was more than a feeling, but knowing that this was meant to be the ultimate goal of spiritual growth. Hallucinogenic drugs and the sexual freedom brought by the equalization of sex through contraceptive pills merely hint at this possible evolution of humankind.

Gwendolyn called out to the archangels of the four directions that proclaim God's presence: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, "My seventh power is my Soul dedicated to God and of God. May this Soul be pleasing to the Most High."

The archangel Gabriel appears before her; like the silver glow of the moon. Gabriel's soft presence feels like the nurturing voice of a mother to her baby. Gwendolyn sees herself as an innocent child climbing up on a sparkling horse to begin her journey on the eternal carousel.

The archangel Raphael appears before her; glowing in the greens, yellows, and reds of the living earth. The angel's voice seems to emanate from Gwendolyn's heart. With her teen years of rebellion behind her, she rejoices in the finding of her real essence Self that is foundation of her true Spirit.

The archangel Michael appears before her with colors of gold and blue wearing the crown that was gained in the battle of good over evil. Michael's voice seems to speak directly to Gwendolyn's mind. Sensing that 'something of real value' within her, which is her Soul, she is now the mistress of her Spirit, as the Sun's gravity is the mistress the planets.

The archangel Uriel appears before her like a lightening flash being sustained in the color of violet. Gwendolyn has broken free from the shadowy ghosts of the living dead which surround her as her Soul races along the Milky Way in the infinite space between the stars where the galaxies hide.

The leaders of the Essene Church, to which Jesus belonged to were known as angels, the highest was called Michael. The battle between the Zealots, characterized as Satan, was a battle that would determine the future direction of the Church. Those that advocated peace, be it as servants of the Roman Empire, succeeded and, when Jerusalem was destroyed, the supremacy of Michael and the angels was assured.

As Gwendolyn looked down from above, she saw the beast-like creature slithering away on the serpent's back as the dawn brought the light of day. She had awakened from her trance. She saw the Moai, those enigmatic statues with huge heads, one fallen and one still standing looking out to sea.

Gwendolyn was exhausted. She was watching the reddish disk of the sun dancing in the atmosphere as it moved to where its reflection joined its other half in the ocean. In less than a minute, the reddish circle of the sun was sitting on the ocean. It was too soon for the warmth of the sun; the glow inside her was certainly her own.

She decided to take a little walk along the shore before the eclipse. Her spirit must have been shining so much that she was immediately spotted by another evil person. That 'moths to a flame' scenario again, she thought to herself.

In her spiritual state, she could see right through this wolf in sheep's clothing when he attempted to talk with her. He was offering her a discounted ticket to some cult celebration. Gwendolyn refused his request, not knowing that he was the "Beast 666".

The beast-like creature that she had already defeated must have sent his mirror image. In actuality, this fake lamb did possess more power than the beast-like creature because it could pretend to speak in the name of some arbitrary spiritual leader. It was easy for him or her to use human gullibility to build a global network of followers. Most people, being basically lazy, are much more likely to follow anyone who promises them a free ride to heaven.

Called the beast, Simon Magus was the most powerful figure in the early Church before it was called Christian. He chose a path away from the Sadducee doctrine of peace and towards war. He joined with Herod of Chalcis and diverted funds to the Zealots. He opposed Agrippa I and eventually had him poisoned. He became the Pope of the Damascus Church in Syria and for a time was the most powerful Samaritan-Christian force in Rome. He won over many converts with his feats of magic and his intelligence. Philip, Bartholomew, Theudas, and Mary Magdalene were on his side.

Jesus with Peter and Paul had formed the Christian Church in 44 AD and this caused a split away from Simon. Simon was the one who used the system of promotions through the letters Samekh(60), Resh(200), and Tau(400) of the celibates (with a simple Waw(6) rounding it off). Using Gematria numerology, this adds up to "666".

Being offended by Gwendolyn's lack of humility before his exalted ego, the fake lamb began using its most effective weapon of slander and went on a verbal attack, "Look, see the witch over there" as it pointed to Gwendolyn. "That circle on her forehead is clearly the number '666', the mark of the devil. Her presence will cause you all to fall into the fires of hell."

The 24 elders

Gwendolyn was quick to correct him, "Though the mark of '666' is an achievement, in the spiritual world, you will never attain it. The number '666' is given only to all men and women who are on the path to attain a Spirit.

Another way of explaining the number '666' is as being derived numerologically from the Greek word for the lower mind, known as 'He Phren' or heart. Below this number is the number '555' which is the numerological result derived from the Greek word for desires, 'Epithumia'. Clearly, desires predominate within you and thus your mark would merely be the mark of '555'. It is not surprising that you would persecute someone, who has attained to a higher level than you, out of jealousy.

The fake lamb used the tactic of making disrespectful grunting noises as if to show that Gwendolyn was an idiot. It would dismiss every statement of Gwendolyn's with a wave of its arms hoping to convince others that it was the one with the vast intelligence.

Ignoring this, Gwendolyn continued, "You will never attain to the cross, which is the Greek word 'Stauros', the numerological level of '777'. Neither will you reach the final step that is to attain the higher mind, which is the Greek word 'Iesous', the numerological level of '888.'

The name of Jesus threw the fake lamb into a series of disjointed tirades:

"How dare you use the name of Jesus."

"Only I have the power to invoke his name."

"The words of God tell us that faith will be rewarded."

"If you do not understand why God does not come to your aid, you can still be found worthy by filling the collection plate."

The ghost-like creatures, that had followed the fake-lamb, now cheered as they began throwing coins in the air.

Disgusted with this scene, Gwendolyn turned away and walked back towards the Moai statues to clear her mind. She reminded herself that the gullibility of the human race is to be expected.

The alternating dark and light shadow bands began to wave across the ground. This was the precursor to the darkness of the total eclipse. The people began to cheer as the clouds had cleared from the sky.

Two eyes appeared on the side of the dark moon, then a diamond ring appeared and then the darkness came. The eclipse had begun.

As the corona glowed out from the sides of the moon, Gwendolyn felt clearly the four parts of her nature contained in the ecliptic cross:

Her body as Taurus the Bull, her emotions as Leo,
the Lion,
her mind as Aquarius, the Man, and
her Spirit as Scorpio (the scorpion capable of becoming an Eagle in surviving death).

Gwendolyn knew that these same symbols were given to the authors of the four Gospels: the Lion was Peter, the Calf was Luke, the Man was Matthew, and the Eagle was John Mark. Being balanced by these four forces, her aura was capable of resonating with the corona of the sun.

Her six senses became her eyes and wings, heightening awareness of the vulnerabilities of evil and to face up to the danger that stood in her path. She was reminded to always be ready to defend the throne of God within herself so as not to be swallowed up by the darkness.

Gwendolyn affirms her identity:

Gwendolyn acknowledges the Four Directions:


She turns to the North saying,
"Thank you, Cold Wind of the North that brought the seed of my being"

She turns to the South saying,
"Thank you, Warm South Tropical Lands that welcomed this seed and nurtured me"

She turns to the East, feeling the line of force that flows to the West saying,
"I cherish all the Living Creatures that are born and die"

She focuses her thoughts to her inner self, saying,
"The Great Spirit is the Infinite within me."

The Lamb takes the book

A year before the eclipse on Easter Island, the seven sisters had met altogether for the first time at Gwendolyn's home on San Juan Island, overlooking the Straits of Juan de Fuca where the Orca whales pass by every day. What happened that day would confirm to them the importance of their synergy when they were together.

They had all wanted to go to Easter Island, but it was difficult to set up travel reservations and besides Gwendolyn wanted to face the beast-like creature on her own. The six sisters warned her against this, but they did insist that they must become blood-sisters for her protection. This clearly proved to be important.

When you have millions of people believing something will happen, then that belief will surely cause something good or bad. It was the bad that scared the sisters most of all. They knew that they needed to work towards a solution to prevent the end of the world, regardless of whether it would be in 2012 or hopefully centuries from now when the people of the earth would able to face a common threat together.

The seven sisters, like the seven stars in the Pleiades, felt that they must have been fated to find each other. Coming from seven different continents, the seven sisters possessed all the powers of the World. With many fearful of the end of this World, it was time for all the people to get together. The sisters thought of themselves as the ambassadors in a Spiritual United Nations

Each was born in seven different astrological signs and were influenced by these sign's seven different ruling planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Sun & Moon (Sun and Moon are like planets). Each has a different jewel that they resonated to. They also came from seven different religions.

Gwendolyn had been brought up as a strict Protestant and, being part of the Presbyterian Church, was powerfully affected by the book of Revelation, believing that the world needed to change its ways or be destroyed in the apocalypse. She had turned to pagan practices because of her disgust with the vocal Christians who are so sure of their particular brand of faith that they believe that only they will be the chosen ones in the final days. This is when they would be lifted up into heaven with all their clothes and jewels right out of their shiny Lexus cars.

It was her study of the pesher of Revelation that began to restore her faith in Christianity. With the Pesher of Christ, those scary stories in Revelation about the end of the world began to be revealed to her as just a history of the early Church.

Because of her great intelligence and compassion and knowledge of the Bible, the group of sisters clearly treated Gwendolyn as their leader and let her sit at the center of the table fashioned like the Last Supper. Gwendolyn's jewel is the diamond crystal. She brings with her the energies of the continent of North America.

Vitskaia was born in Leningrad, the city having now been renamed back to St Petersburg. She was of Jewish heritage with dark hair and eyes and a cute smile that seemed to curl up like a cat. She was born in the astrological sign of Cancer, the only sign ruled by the Moon. Her parents were part of the Gurdjieff philosophy that had been originally founded in Russia. Their parents had named her after the woman Vitvitskaia who was the one 'Remarkable Woman' in Gurdjieff's book: Meetings with Remarkable Men.

In a world where New Age movement seems only to go as far as developing a Spirit (Body, Mind, and Spirit), Vitskaia felt herself lucky to have explored the ways of the "sly master," Gurdjieff. In her life, she always tried to be impartial and aware of herself, knowing that Spirit and Soul are not ready-made at birth, but require effort to achieve.

Although like her parents she had a deep-rooted affection for Judaism, under Soviet domination, they had decided not to follow its outer form, but to concentrate in the inner lessons of Judaism. Lately, she was pleased to see that some members of Judaism were beginning to give equal status to females by editing the Torah to allow for God to be a female. Comparing this to the Catholic Church, it is discouraging to think that it was one of the major goals of Jesus to give females an equal chance to be part of it, and yet now it is the Catholic Church which is way behind on that issue.

Having lived through the glasnost and the downfall of the Soviet Union, Vitskaia was now living the democracy, which her homeland had almost achieved, by studying art in Paris.

Vitskaia loved studying the esoteric philosophy of Judaism known as the Qabala. In learning the significance of Hebrew alphabet letters, she had discovered the interactive nature of the names of Jesus and Judas.

Vitskaia was amazed to find that the name Jesus, YHshWH, has the Hebrew letter Sheen between the holy letters of Yah-weh (YHWH) and thus would predispose him to be charged with bringing God to the world. On the other hand, the name Judas, Yehouda, has the letter Dallet inserted in Yah-weh and thus would predispose him to be the resistance to God. Since Sheen of itself could not bring a result, but requires the resistance of Dallet, it was as if the Devil's hand as Sheen-Dallet (Shed) was the vehicle by which the mission of Jesus could reach the world.

This concept of Sheen-Dallet was her inspiration because it showed that, on earth, the struggle of good and evil is more important than either good or evil separately. Whenever she found herself comparing the misfortunes of her life with another person's life, she would remember that without struggle there can be no growth.

She was intrigued by Gurdjieff's Judas whom he characterized as being the most trusted disciple of Jesus. In the sense of the necessity of Sheen-Dallet, this might be true, but it was, of course, one of his many 'tongue-in-cheek' statements designed to shake up people's beliefs. The Pesher of Christ has since shown her that Judas was a Zealot, first and foremost, and ultimately recognized as a traitor by all, being placed on the cross with Jesus and hurled down the cliff when he survived.

Although reincarnation is not supposed to retain memories, these memories seemed to come rushing back when she visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem and knelt down to reach in her hand to touch the Golgotha stone. She vividly recalled standing next to the cross, in a past life, staring up at the crucified Simon Magus and Jesus in horror and disbelief. It was then that she began to realize that she must have an affinity to Helena, who was the consort of Simon Magus; she being known as Salome, Martha, and Joanna.

Helena was Salome because she had danced for Herod Antipas to remove John the Baptist and was the teacher of his wife Herodias' child Salome. Helena was Martha because Martha was the leader of the Marys (this being the common given name of the nuns). Helena was Joanna because she was the one female in John the Baptist's organization of 30. Helena was also many unnamed females in the New Testament like the Samaritan woman at the well, the Syro-Phoenician woman, the Menstruous woman, the mother of James and John, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Even the name Helena was given to her by Simon Magus to represent the Greek Helen who caused the Trojan War because of her beauty. Her real name was Paulina, a temple virgin. Vitskaia's jewel is the sapphire because this represented Helena's position in the Church as second to the throne when Simon was the leader.

Piano notes in relation to Law of Seven

Like the woman she is named after from Meetings with Remarkable Men, Vitskaia was engrossed in learning the ways of esoteric art and music. She despised the ordinary art and music that decorate hotels and elevators and the electronically dubbed music that is mass-produced by the recording industry. Art should inspire, not be a backdrop to people's empty existences.

Vitskaia saw that the notes on the piano can be an example of the universal Law of Seven. In a simple demonstration, she could show that each octave can evolve to the next higher. Thus in the C major scale if one played:

• The first triad is {C}--{E}--{G}, a major third and a perfect fifth, thus major
• The second triad is {D}--{F}--{A}, a minor third and a perfect fifth, thus minor.
• The third triad is {E}--{G}--{B}, a minor third and a perfect fifth, thus a minor

then this progression wants completion at the next higher 'C'. This shows how the three possible bodies in man/woman: physical, astral, and soul can evolve to Heaven, just as lower forms had evolved to humans.

Vitskaia's meeting with Gwendolyn was quite surrealistic. They had both been standing in front of Mona Lisa at the Louvre. As Vitskaia looked at the painting, she had seen an image reflected in the protective glass that looked like the Virgin Mary.

Turning around to Gwendolyn, she said, "Excuse me, I thought I saw the Virgin Mary behind me reflected in the glass?"

Gwendolyn smiled and said, "I am Gwendolyn." The guard had pushed them apart to allow the other crowds to see Mona Lisa, but they found each other again.

"Would you believe," said Gwendolyn, "I was just thinking that you were the goddess Helena, or perhaps you are the real Mona Lisa with that wonderful smirk."

She replied, "I am Vitvitskaia, Vitskaia for short. But I do believe that I was once Helena, 'The face that launched a thousand ships'. Helena is the reflection of the concept of Sophia, the Gnostic concept of 'the first idea trapped in matter'."

They always stayed in constant touch with each other after that day. Vitskaia was elected as second in status and to sit on the left side of Gwendolyn on the east.

It was Vitskaia who had ridden to Gwendolyn's assistance on a white horse at Easter Island when Gwendolyn connected with her first power. She brings with her the energies of the continent of Europe.

Sheba was a beautiful full-bodied dark-haired woman of Maori decent clearly blessed with the Renaissance beauty of Venus. She was born in New Zealand in the continent of Oceania. Her parents had named her after the queen of Sheba who had visited King Solomon and who was even rumored to have been given the Ark of the Covenant for safe keeping

She had attended the University of Auckland, named Te Waananga o Waipapa in the Maori language, majoring in Biology. Being ruled by Mars and Pluto as a Scorpio, she had a volatile temperament, but felt most comfortable as a nurturer and thus became a nurse.

She loved to visit the old movie locations of Middle Earth in the Southern Island where Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was filmed. Her jewel is the misty white moonstone.

She was not willing to be a female ruled by male-female attractions for she knew that emotion needs to be ruled by the heart not just by habitual thoughts and feelings. She would always strive to allow the pure emotion that is grounded in the heart to be the beginning of love with a capital "L" thus 'agape' love was the cornerstone of her Spirit.

Being brought up in the Maori tradition, Sheba had always found it to be natural to connect with Spirit. She maintained her awareness of the cycles of the moon and planets, the changes of the seasons, and the spirits who lived before. She was a firm believer in the usefulness of certain spiritual methods such as sacred drugs, dancing, and other rituals to create a state of ecstasy that was the entrance to the realm of Spirit. Her Maori faith was similar to most indigenous people and to all religions. Its core belief was in Te Kore (the energy and potential), Te Po (the form), and Te Te Ao-marama (the inspiring force within all humans). This compares to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of Christianity or Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva of the Hindu religion.

Her obsession with snakes and dragons and scorpions, aside from her astrological relationship to Scorpio, came from her visit to the remains of the healing center of Asclepiem.

Acts 17:34 But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris (Phoebe), and others with them.
Romans 16:1 I (Paul) commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,
Philippians:4:3 Yes, I (Paul) beg you also, true yoke-fellow (Phoebe), help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Lugdunum_Convenarum
Phoebe's home after Paul's death

Asclepiem is located below the hill in Asia Minor where Pergamum once stood as the second largest library of the ancient world. Seeing the two-headed serpent that forms the healing staff at the entrance to the site, she was amazed to find that here was the symbol still used today for physicians.

Clearly it was related to the two energy pathways in the spinal column that could be thought of as the emotional and sexual. By controlling these pathways in the brain, shamans could heal the body.

As snakes these energies can be either good or bad bringing energy or addiction. These pathways could be used to achieve spiritual growth or personal disintegration.

On her ceiling at home, Sheba had painted a red and blue dragon that she called her luck dragon from The Neverending Story. She wanted to be reminded of the power of emotional energy that, if guided by conscience, could inspire a person to be good rather than to be guided by illusion to do evil. She was most concerned that the media, by capitalizing on stories of violence and sexual voyeurism, had betrayed humanity by painting a world that was absent of goodness.

The luck dragon said to Atrayu, 'Everyone needs a little luck' and she had set out to increase the world's luck by the means of her good works. The black dragon of destruction would need to be tamed.

Sheba has an affinity to Phoebe the daughter of Jesus whose birth name was Tamar. Phoebe, having married Paul who called her his 'yoke fellow', was clearly an important female leader in the Church. After Paul's death Phoebe had left Rome and lived in Lugdunum Convenarum, a large Roman town to the west of Lyons, with her two daughters. Herod Antipas had been exiled here by Caligula and she was invited by his son to stay with them.

Sheba met Gwendolyn through Isis, as Sheba and Isis were inseparable. It was Sheba who had ridden to Gwendolyn's assistance on a red horse at Easter Island when Gwendolyn connected with her second power. She brings with her the energies of the continent of Oceania.

Quran 4:124 And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and is a true believer in the Oneness of God, such will enter paradise; and not the least injustice, even to the size of a speck on the back of a date stone, will be done to them.

Khadija was an African woman whose features resembled a carved ebony icon. She was born in Ethiopia into the Islamic faith. Her parents had named her Khadija after Mohammed's first wife and confidante. She liked hearing the call to prayer from the minarets and felt that the concept of praying often was a good reminder to stay on a spiritual path. After all, the final step of the Soul's alignment with God was to follow the Will of God. She would always turn towards Mecca when she heard this call to prayer.

However, she was disgusted with the descendants of Islam who had manipulated the teachings of Mohammed into requiring women to be subservient to men. The Quran clearly states that both men and women are equal. This would not include the requirement of females to be wrapped up in burkas. The mixing of religion with culture is always a dangerous path. Now that the influence of the West has become a force for freeing females from this male domination, it also has had the effect of eroding the Muslim faith because of this link to culture. It is similar to those Christians who try to deny females the right to abortion, which is cultural and not religious.

She felt comfortable in her native attire and she did not dress that way to be subservient to men or to entice them, but actually to express her modesty. In a way this was ironic as she exuded a very sexual energy that might place her in the category of the stereotyped 'dance of the seven veils' Middle Eastern females.

Actually, being inclined to the Sufi path, she was a professional belly dancer. Her tall, thin brown-skinned body had a rhythmical and graceful flow that swayed to life's eternal beat. She loved to play all types of percussion from drums to rattles. Music she felt was the rhythm of the soul.

Quran 074.030: Over is nineteen.

John Mark, being a monastic similar to a eunuch thus mistaken for Mary Magdalene:
At the Last Supper:
John 13:23-25 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' breast. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, 'Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.' He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, 'Lord, who is it?'
At the Crucifixion:
John 19:26,27 Jesus, then perceiving the mother (Mary Magdalene) and the disciple (John) standing by, whom Jesus loved, is saying to the mother of him, Behold the son of you! From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
At the Resurrection:
John 20:1-10 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. She ran therefore, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, 'They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him!' Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, both of them running. They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first. Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there on the ground, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, and the cloth that was on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe; For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
At the Sea of Tiberias, the third time that Jesus showed himself alive:
John 21:1-24 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together... That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It's the Lord!' So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea... And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, 'Sir, who is he who is ministering unto to you?' Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, 'Lord, and what will this man do?' Jesus saith to him, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die, yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee?' This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
Acts 12:12,13 also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying. When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.

---

The 'disciple that Jesus loved' is only present in the Gospel of John and is also the one to which this Gospel is attributed. Being the stand-in for Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper, he is shown leaning on Jesus' breast. He left with Mary Magdalene when she divorced Jesus and thus he is shown with Mary Magdalene (Rhoda) as John Mark. He returned when she died.

Khadija and Gwendolyn met while waiting on line at the Blue Mosque in Constantinople being harassed by this rug salesman who kept insisting on following them right up to the line of people waiting to get in, He said that he would be glad to hold their shoes, at which point they laughed and told him they would call for the police. He finally left them alone.

It was then that Khadija told Gwendolyn she had recently read about the importance of nineteen in the Quran (Koran).

The new theory says that, in this passage, the Quran is indicating that it uses a check sum of nineteen to establish the validity of the passages in the same way that check sums are used in computer data packets on the Internet to ensure accuracy. Even the first verse of the Quran, 'Basmalah' itself is nineteen letters."

Gwendolyn agreed that nineteen shows up in a myriad of ways and, most importantly to her, in the silver fraction, which is seven-nineteenths related to the moon and the sun.

Khadija was a Capricorn ruled by Saturn and extremely intelligent. Her jewel is the pale brown garnet. Having an affinity to Mary Magdalene, she wished to be that feminine looking person on the right hand of Jesus in the DaVinci painting of the Last Supper. It did not matter to her that it was John Mark, the 'eunuch' of Jesus, who would be the go-between to his wife, Mary Magdalene. It was all part of her belief that the feminine principle was most powerful when expressed through sexual tension as the power behind the throne all famous male leaders.

With her degree in Psychology, she was convinced that sexual energy was the balancing force between thought and emotion. The chakra position of the sex center is traditionally the second, being the next chakra above the root of the spine which is the lowest and the solar plexus or spleen which is above it as the third. This makes it appear that emotions are superior to sexual energy; but, since the correct position of the neutralizing force is as the third universal force after passive and active as in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, it must be third after the solar plexus chakra.

This is one of the major mistakes of the monastic system because the sublimation of sex actually destroys the natural balance within. It is interesting to realize that the color black that is worn by nuns and priests as a symbol of abstinence is actually the reverse for witches and wizards who wear black because it glows in ultra-violet light, symbolizing the high vibration state brought about in ones psychic nature when sex energy is active in naked ritual.

For these reasons, Khadija's position in the seven sisters was third and not second. It was Khadija who had ridden to Gwendolyn's assistance on a black horse at Easter Island when Gwendolyn connected with her third power. She brings with her the energies of the continent of Africa.

John 6:9,10 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?" Jesus said, 'Have the people sit down.' Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

John being married to Priscilla was leader of the 5,000 unmarried Gentiles.

Clementine Recognitions IX:36 New Revelation: ... Mattidia was thrown by a wave upon a rock, but her twin children were seized by pirates and carried to Caesarea, and there sold to a pious woman (Helena), who treated them as sons, and brought them up, and caused them to be educated as gentlemen; and how the pirates had changed their names, and called the one Niceta and the other Aquila; ...

Acts 18:18 And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria -- and with him are Priscilla and Aquila

---

Both Priscilla and John, whose name was Aquila in the Clementine Books, were important helpers to Paul in Acts.

Isis was a Brazilian girl whose parents were devout Catholics who had moved to Rio de Janeiro from Poland to escape World War II. She achieved a master's degree in Music Performance and played the flute and piccolo in a major orchestra in Rio de Janeiro. She could play many South American wind and percussion instruments and, like Vitskaia, was most interested in different musical scales and pitches and their effect on the psyches of people.

Isis was named after the Egyptian goddess Isis. Actually one of the titles of Isis was 'Star of the Sea' which later became a title for 'Mother Mary'. She had her first communion in St. Mary's Star of the Sea church.

Isis especially likes Mardi Gras in Brazil. She would dress up in sparkling scanty costumes and parade around to celebrate the night before the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Then she would faithfully try to give up one item of food or drink that was her heart's desire until Easter.

Although traditionally Lent is meant to commemorate Jesus' forty days and forty nights in the wilderness when Satan tested him, Isis knew that its purpose was to prepare Jesus for marriage to Mary Magdalene. Satan was Judas Iscariot as all Zealots are called 'Satan'. His banter with Jesus was trying to get him to also become a Zealot. He was the same 'Satan' (Demon at level 7) that Magdalene was freed from because, once she was engaged to Jesus, she no longer had Judas as her superior.

Isis had a strong affinity to Priscilla who was the wife of John who wrote the important parts of Revelation and who was the twin brother of James. When Helena purchased them as slaves, although they were sons of Caesar, their names were Aquila and Niceta. When John was made leader of the 5,000 married Gentiles, she became very important and could sit next to John at the early evening Communion table. This was the secret of the Feeding of the Multitudes.

Isis was very adept at Tarot Card readings. She saw the similarity between the Major Arcana Cards of the Tarot and the Hebrew alphabet that can be arranged into three sets of seven making 21 letters with the letter 'Tau' as the twenty-second letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This level represents the level above these three levels and thus the completion. She learned that the cross of Christianity was derived from the far more ancient symbol: the Tau cross, which was equivalent to 'Tau', the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Since Omega was the last letter of the Greek alphabet 'Alpha' and 'Omega' in Revelation and 'Aleph' to 'Tau' are equivalent and show the advance up to the highest level. Clearly the symbol of the cross has greater significance that the device by which Jesus died. It is the goal of spiritual perfection.

In a similar way Isis arranged the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot into three sets of seven like the 21 letters with the letter 'Tau' as the twenty-second. This 'Tau' card is designated zero as the Fool, which can represent the foolishness of thinking that your ego is the highest or the highest place of spiritual growth when your ego is annihilated as it merges with God.

The first level begins with the birth of the physical body (the Magician of the Tarot cards) and ends with the Chariot (card 7).

The second level representing Spirit enters in at the discontinuity at 'mi' and 'fa' with the cards 8 and 9: Strength and the Hermit, which is to say that this is the way that the Hermit gets to Heaven.

The third level representing Soul enters into the position between 'sol' and 'la' where the neutralizing force acts with Card 15 and 16 the Devil and the Tower, which obviously refers to Jesus' time in the wilderness when the Devil takes him to the Tower. This is the position of the fifteenth letter of the Hebrew letter, 'Samekh', meaning support or universal being (the Devil of the Tarot cards thus Gurdjieff's Beelzebub), which is where the Soul begins.

Isis had visited many churches and cathedrals. She was always inspired by the spiritual power that these structures had. When she climbed the stairs to the very top of St. Peter's in the Vatican, she could not help feeling that all this power, which should have been directed to Christ, was being directed to the Pope instead. It was there that she met Gwendolyn. Together they had traveled on to Venice where they were amazed by the musical resonance inside the church of St. Mark.

Although Isis enjoyed the wonderful symbolism in the churches, she would inevitably feel that she was trapped in a prison when some long, boring sermon would begin. Isis envisioned a church of the future where the priest or minister could enter into a dialogue with the people, not as a superior, but as an equal. It would be a place where a person could enter and leave quietly as the spirit would move them. A place where collection plates would not be shoved in front of the congregation by gloved people who, like waiters in restaurants, would be awaiting their large tips.

Clementine Homilies II:19. JUSTA, A PROSELYTE: "There is amongst us one Justa, a Syro-Phoenician, by race a Canaanite, whose daughter was oppressed with a grievous disease. And she came to our lord, crying out, and' entreating that He would heal her daughter. But He, being asked also by us, said, ' It is not lawful to heal the Gentiles, who are like to dogs on account of their using various meats and practices, while the table in the kingdom has been given to the sons of Israel. But she, hearing this, and begging to partake like a dog of the crumbs that fall from this table, having changed what she was, by living like the sons of the kingdom, she obtained healing for her daughter, as she asked. For she being a Gentile, and remaining in the same course of life. He would not have healed had she remained a Gentile, on account of its not being lawful to heal her as a Gentile.
(matches with Matthew 15:21-28 Mark 7:24-30 Syro-Phoenician daughter cured of the devil and
also Matthew 9:20-25; Mark 5:25-43 where Helena 12 year issue of blood i.e. 12-year virginity since the birth of her daughter implying that her daughter is twelve and thus Mary Magdalene's coming of age shown as the raising of Jairus' daughter.)

H.II:20. DIVORCED FOR THE FAITH. "She, therefore, having taken up a manner of life according to the law, was, with the daughter who had been healed, driven out from her home by her husband, whose sentiments were opposed to ours. But she, being faithful to her engagements, and being in affluent circumstances, remained a widow herself, but gave her daughter [Mary Magdalene] in marriage to a certain man who was attached to the true faith [Jesus!!], and who was poor [member of the Essenes]. And, abstaining from marriage for the sake of her daughter, she bought two boys Niceta [James] & Aquila [John] (Aquila is shown in Acts) and educated them, and had them in place of sons. And they being educated from their boyhood with Simon Magus [Zebedee], have learned all things concerning him. For such was their friendship, that they were associated with him in all things in which he wished to unite with them.

As a Libra ruled by Venus, Isis had a warm loving personally and was always able to see both sides of every situation. Her rising sign of Capricorn gives her the strength to accomplish many things she set out to do when she 'digs her heels in'. Her jewel is the red ruby.

Isis had met Sheba at the University of Auckland and immediately felt a bond like sisters. They loved each other dearly and called each other their twin sisters joined yet opposite like Mars and Venus. Although Isis was younger than Sheba, she was the one who would rescue Sheba when her impulsive nature got her in trouble. Clearly, the heart is a higher vibration than the spleen (endocrine system) and it is the heart that is the seat of the Spirit.

It was Isis who had come to Gwendolyn's assistance at Easter Island when Gwendolyn connected with her fourth power of Spirit, the fifth seal. She brings with her the energies of the continent of South America.

Atira was named by her parents from the Hebrew word for 'prayer'. Her favorite story was the ancient Sumerian story of Gilgamesh. This epic tale, which was her favorite story as a child (and its meaning became clearer as an adolescent), is an allegory on spiritual growth. It told of the bond between Gilgamesh, the potential of higher growth, and Enkidu, his Spirit. Initially, Gilgamesh's Spirit, Enkidu, was like a wild animal that needed to be tamed as it was controlled by base emotions. Atira's favorite part was how Harim, the temple priestess, was sent to teach Enkidu how to love. By this act, Harim had given Gilgamesh the chance to create his Spirit self, symbolized by Enkidu, from the wild man inside.

The bond between Gilgamesh and his Spirit self, Enkidu, was so strong that when Enkidu died, Gilgamesh traveled to Hades to retrieve Enkidu from the dead. Many expert translators of the cuneiform clay tablets of Gilgamesh miss this powerful message and prefer to believe that Harim, was just a nameless prostitute with the trivial task of showing Enkidu how to have great sex.

The important lesson in the Gilgamesh story can be learned from Utnapishtim, the predecessor of Noah, who was Gilgamesh's third self, explained as his Soul that must learn to live on without his Spirit (Enkidu). Almost all spiritual methods of perfection ignore this important lesson that is 4,500 years old. This story illuminates the mistake of assuming that, just because the Spirit brings a blissful state like drugs or artistic creation, that this is the final state possible. Spirit is only two-thirds of the way to obtaining a Soul.

Atira, as a Virgo ruled by Mercury, was extremely intelligent and full of energy. She was born in China. She had a short frail body, but her gaze, like two still pools, had the power to transcend time.

Alan Bennett's calculations on the Tai Chi

Atira's inner peace and intuition had served her well in the isolation of a scientific station on the Ross Ice Shelf in the Antarctica. Atira had already suspected that Antarctica was possibly the lost Atlantis, but, unfortunately, she had found no proof of this while she was there.

Atira loved to sit out under the night sky, breathing deeply, as she reached up her hands to touch the stars. This would allow her throat chakra, which is ruled by Mercury, to be the gateway to the Soul, the place where the air joins with the golden love of the heart to complete the Spirit from which a Soul can grow. Her jewel is the light green peridot.

Atira's grounding in the Tao had led her to realize that there is always a common thread in all religions and philosophy. In the ever-moving Tai Chi symbol, she could also see the teachings of Jesus. When her life found itself in the dark yin state, like the crucifixion, she would always know that the light, yang, was coming like the resurrection. In the same way, she knew that, if she were in the light, yang, then that meant that darkness, yin, would come. The cycle of despair or elation that people naturally feel if they do not sleep through their lives is a failure to be grounded in Tai Chi. Life is not yin or yang, but their changing state, which is the third force, the neutralizing force. This is the true meaning of the symbol.

While in Antarctica, Atira had studied intensively on the Internet. Conversing by E-mail with a fisherman from Texas who had a web site on the principles of solar geometry, she learned how even the orbits of the planets had a direct relationship to the to the Tai Chi symbol. She also got to know Dodgson as an Internet friend, having found that he also had spoken to this same fisherman, Alan Bennett. After this, she decided to quit her scientific job and concentrate on using her spiritual talents.

When the winter cold made it impossible to stay in Antarctica, Atira would spend time in New Zealand. Once on a hike in the evening along a river to see the glowworms, she stopped on a rope bridge over the stream. She was so enthralled by the glowworm stars that she had failed to see that another woman was standing there. It was Gwendolyn and this is where they met for the first time.

It was Atira who had ridden to Gwendolyn's assistance on a dun horse at Easter Island when Gwendolyn connected with her fifth power of Spirit. She brings with her the energies of the continent of Antarctica.

Atira as the fourth rider was a model of the new generation, being always dedicated to protecting the planet and having an innate understanding of the new world paradigm. She understood the need for people to move from the emotion sphere of the Spirit to intellectual sphere of the Soul. With an affinity to Paulina, the grandchild of Jesus, she was the new hope for a revised spiritual faith based on truth and love.

Yashodra was the daughter of a Tibetan goat herder who had escaped the persecution of the Chinese Communist State and had lived in exile in India. Her parents were Tibetan Buddhists and thus she is named after the Princess Yashodhara who had been married to Gautama, later known as Buddha. She had black hair and dark brown eyes that seemed to glow with inspiration. Intrigued by the Hindu custom of wearing a red dot on the forehead, she did so also for she felt that it seemed to enhance her ability of third eye sight. She felt most comfortable in her native tradition clothes.

Yashodra's astrological sign is Sagittarius, which is a fire sign, ruled by the planet Jupiter, whose astrological position after the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars is sixth. Six is also represented by the "key of David", the six pointed star. Her Buddhist background had taught her that her essence needed to avoid attachment to the accumulated impressions that were stored in her brain by the six senses. Although she was able to perform all the yoga positions and the stages of meditation, she preferred to rely on the 'still small voice' at the top of her head to guide her.

In order to obtain a Soul at this sixth vibration 'la' of the Universal Law of Seven, it is necessary to absorb all the 'objective knowledge' that has been left behind by certain individuals who have achieved a Soul. Since the brain itself is a collector of all information like the Internet, it is extremely important to distinguish what information is 'food for the Soul' and what information should be relegated to 'Trash' and hopefully not endlessly recycled in 'e-mails', 'twitters', and 'facebook posts'.

The brain can only become human if it has information, otherwise it will resemble what people refer to as a 'bird-brain' or an 'empty space between the ears'. The problem, of course, is that even when it is possible to remove all of the extraneous impulses and 'lighted screen images' that come into the brain, there is still such a clutter that there is almost no hope of finding any 'objective knowledge' inside it. The quality of the information that is inputted is paramount.

Yashodra had the most peaceful disposition of all of the other sixth sisters. One was never sure what she was thinking as she appeared to be somewhere else. When she did speak it always was right on topic and to the essence of the discussion. They would often ask her how she was able to do this and she would say that she was always sifting the 'tares from the wheat'.

Yashodra had absorbed the influences of the Hindu religion, but she also loved the Indian pop music and 'Bollywood' movies. She was studying to be an attorney in international law. She was convinced that India would one day be a world power along with China and wanted to help shape the future world order.

Yashodra had met Gwendolyn at a peace conference at a Buddhist temple on San Juan Island in Washington State. Having stayed at Gwendolyn's house, Yashodra and Gwendolyn spent many late nights at a bonfire on the beach talking together. Slowly, they began to unravel all the truths that could be intuited inside their brains and in the Earth Spirit.

Gwendolyn and Yashodra also shared their feelings about the trauma and abuses that they had been subjected in the past since Gwendolyn had a resonance to Virgin Mary and Yashodra to Bernice, the Queen of Judea. Bernice has been exalted by Revelation to be as famous and evil as Beast 666 (Simon Magus), whose consort Helena had actually been her teacher.

Yashodra was drawn to Bernice's courage to go up against male domination in the Church. Bernice's predecessor Helena had done these same things when she recruited Jesus as the 'Samaritan woman at the Well' to join her consort Simon Magus against John the Baptist and as the 'Syro-Phoenician woman' asking for Jesus to accept her daughter Mary Magdalene into the Church and to marry her.

It was Yashodra who had come to Gwendolyn's assistance at Easter Island when Gwendolyn connected with her sixth power of Soul at the sixth chakra. Her jewel is the bluish opal. She brings with her the energies of the continent of Asia.

On this day, which the seven sisters would refer to as their confirmation, the seven sisters were sitting inside a driftwood circle overlooking the Straits as the colors of the sunset filled the whole sky. They began by beating drums as the colors of the sunset gave way to the darkness. A new light was appearing which was the top of the full moon's disk peeking out from the eastern horizon. Before their eyes, the moon became fully risen and feeling its power, each sister placed a crystal that each had brought just inside the circle to form the seven points of a special enneagram star.

They might have used an enneagram star derived from Gurdjieff's enneagram that represents the flow of forces according to the law of sevenfoldness, shown to the left.

However, they used a far more useful star that Gwendolyn had worked out by taking into account the three forces that are super- imposed in the circle and considering the angles of the octaves notes that make up the circle. Thus the distances do-re and re-mi are 45 degrees, the distance of mi-fa is 30 degrees (an important discontinuity), the distances of fa-sol and sol-la are 60 degrees, la-ti is 75 degrees and finally ti-do is 45 degrees (a discontinuity which allows the higher octave to participate in its completion). The three forces that form a triangle that acts within it are negative, positive and neutralizing.

They danced towards the center touching each other's hands for seven times. Then they took their crystals and placed them on the next seven points as the enneagram star moved counter clockwise, repeating their dance. They did this for a total of seven times and then returned to the beginning.

After the dance, they sat down, grouped together in the center holding hands. The seven sisters began to spiral up in the silvery light of the moon up to the other seven sisters of the Pleiades.

A fog began to roll in from the ocean enveloping the seven sisters like a cathedral. Inside this cathedral the moon had created a rainbow of stained glass.

Gwendolyn whispered to the sisters, "I have a feeling that we are in the cathedral in Ephesus and it is the important day when the New Testament was dedicated in the year 49 AD."

As they sat down and looked more closely at the stained glass patterns, they seemed to sense the identities of the people depicted. There was Agrippa II, the boy King, and Matthew Annas, dressed in white as the presiding high priest and also the author of the Gospel of Matthew who was overseeing the dedication of the four books of the New Testament. Assisting were: Timothy, as Crown Prince being the pupil of Paul; Apollos, the Magus standing in for Simon Magus; and Theophilus Annas, the Gabriel, who was the older brother of Matthew, playing the harp. Also attending were Peter, the author of the Gospel of Mark scribed by Mark, John Mark, the scribe of the Gospel of John, coauthored by Jesus and Simon Magus, and Luke, the scribe of Jesus' Gospel of Luke.

The sister's eyes were immediately drawn to a figure seated in the center, dressed in the white with a border of red as cardinal, who was singing a psalm of David. He had a thin frame, but his soft loving nature made his presence powerful.

"It is Jesus!" whispered Khadija, hardly able to resist speaking aloud.

They watched in awe as the event took place before their eyes.

After this adulation, Jesus looked up and seeing the seven sisters, began to walk towards them. As he did so, the mist lifted and for a moment Jesus appeared to be walking on water along the golden pathway that the moon had created in the ocean. Walking behind him were his six appointed apostles: Peter, Andrew, Philip, James, and John and John Mark (Bartholomew).

Feeling overwhelmed by the honor of being visited by these Spirits, in reverent silence, the seven sisters were afraid to move for fear that the image would disappear.

Jesus spoke to them and said, "I have convinced the Pope to open a school called the Pesher of Christ. You will soon meet six brothers who will also join you. You must learn the mysteries of Revelation and the true purpose of my mission. I have chosen seven sisters because I had seven women who followed me and these six brothers will be the six disciples who reported to me. You are the seven chakras and they are the six senses, the pranas that the Upanishads describe. More will be revealed to you as it gets closer to the Day of the Apocalypse. The world is counting on you. Peace be with you."

The Spirits of the six male apostles and Jesus began to dissolve into sparkle dust that floated back along the path of the moon still reflected in the ripples of the sea, but now shifted toward the west.

The seven sisters were in shock. They starred at each other wondering if they had seen the same images. The tears of joy that flooded their eyes were enough proof.

They were freezing and they rushed inside to warm up, but none could sleep. They pulled apart the bookshelves to discover the evidence about Jesus walking with seven sisters.

Sheba says excitedly, "Here it is!" as she read the verses from the Gnostic gospels found at Nag Hammadi in 1945.

Khadija says, "Here is the passage on Mary Magdalene that also mentions two other women.

Vitskaia reads:

"His sisters!" they all shout.

"It is also amazing that Jesus' real brothers are listed!" exclaims Isis, "After all the Church leads us to believe that Mary remained a virgin."

"It is easy to see that later on when the Church invented the myth of the eternal virgin status of Mary, they had to pretend that these brothers were only brothers in a monastery with the sisters in a nunnery." says Yashodra.

"Then we are sister nuns!" Atira exclaims. They all turned to each other, laughing at the thought of these free-spirited women being dressed as nuns.

"And excommunicated in a flash!" adds Sheba.

"Yes, about that," says Gwendolyn. "What do you think the Pope will do when he sees us traipsing in."

"It will need to be confirmation dresses for sure!" says Isis. "I do not think my old one will fit me, even if I try to be stylish with black stockings with the white mini- confirmation skirt."

Lamb in the midst of the throne with the martyrs

Vitskaia says, "Here is a letter to Timothy from Paul that mentions his mother and grandmother as a Lois and a Eunice. They must be very important."

"Lois is short for Herodias," Gwendolyn added, She married Herod Antipas whom John the Baptist had condemned for remarrying when her husband Thomas, the disciple, was still alive. That would mean that Eunice was Salome and Timothy was a descendant of Herod the Great because Thomas was Herod's son and Herodias as also his grand- daughter."

Isis exclaims, "Then his mother danced to have John the Baptist's head on a platter!"

Sheba adds, "What a gruesome metaphor was that head on a platter thing! We all know that it just represented John being removed from the head of the religious order!"

"And besides," says Vitskaia. It wasn't Salome who danced, but Helena, my favorite New Testament woman, the consort of Simon Magus."

Yes, this is confirmed in another passage," says Yashodra, "where Helena is called Salome at the cross:

"This passage mentions her with Mother Mary, also showing that Mother Mary is the mother of James and Joses, just as the passage you read previously. The fact that the Gospel of John says Jesus' mother was there, proves that 'Mary, the Mother of James and Joses' is also Mary."

"We must not forget my favorite character: Priscilla, the wife of John Aquila, the writer of Revelation," says Isis.

"Actually, this vow of Paul's was his marriage to Phoebe," says Sheba as she read from Paul's letter to the Roman Church."

The sixth angel sounded its trumpet
Seal up the writings of the seven thunders

"And here is Phoebe mentioned again in his letter to the Philippians," says Atira.

"Not to leave out their child Paulina who is discussed in the book, Paulina's Promise to her Grandfather, Jesus," Atira adds.

Khadija says, "Enough about women, how about those luscious piranhas, we are about to meet!"

"Yeah, these guys must be luscious," Sheba adds.

"Very funny Khadija," says Yashodra. "Those pranas, you speak of, are similar to the five senses. They are the vitality in ones system. In mediation it is important to gain control over five organs that give sensory input and the sixth sense, which is the mind, is the most important to quiet."

Gwendolyn says: "The four angels in Revelation are comparable to the four pranas with another which is the fifth prana.

Gwendolyn continues, "And, also, these four pranas are mentioned along with seven thunders in Revelation 10. She yawns, "Well us seven thunders need to get to bed."

The others catch the yawning also. It was a tiring day and it was almost dawn.

For the sisters, this past night had changed their lives forever. Not only did they have the confirmation of their connection to the time of Jesus, they had now been chosen by Jesus to be the seven women who would walk with him again. The energy that filled them, they had never experienced before. In that timeless state when the past, the present, and the future are merged, their connection would remain unbreakable.

Very few know of the 'School of the Pesher of Christ.' Those who do know have been sworn to a vow of secrecy. Functioning within the Catholic Church, it is overseen by the Pope himself. The reason for this secrecy and the foundation of this school was the result of amazingly enlightened Pope Clement XV.

Like the seven sisters, he had a vision in which Jesus told him to found this school. Being the Pope, he was certainly not going to ignore a directive from Christ, so he called his trusted Cardinal and told him to set up the school. At first the Cardinal tried to talk him out of the project, but it did not take long to find out that Pope's mind was made up.

Seven women and six men were chosen. If this were an ordinary school one might have expected to hear the women sitting together discussing the men and the men discussing sports, but not this group. Even the burning issue of the day: global warming did not hold their interest for long. They were all deeply religious in their own way. Of course, these ways of theirs would certainly, in earlier times, have resulted in being burned alive by witch hunters or tortured by the Inquisitions.

The major goal for all of them was to save mankind from religion that had now become the greatest threat to the humankind. They saw today's religions as exploiting human frailties through lies and misinterpretations and, in promoting a hatred of all 'non-believers, even going so far as to justify the killing of others, when they should be promoting love between one another. Clearly, this is the exact opposite of religion's primary purpose. This is not to say that religion should be abolished, but rather religion needs to return to its roots of fostering peace and love to all persons.

In order to avoid obvious misunderstandings, Pope Clement had sent the Cardinal personally to seek out these thirteen students in secret. At that time, many 'old guard scholars' viewed the pesher technique, which was used by Dr. Barbara Thiering to uncover secrets in the New Testament, as one flawed hypothesis built upon another like the Tower of Babel, yet uncannily all consistent. Unfortunately, some of her specific 'Pesher Technique' rules appear to be flawed, yet the general concept of her pesher is still valid, although better proved by inductive reasoning by means of the Pesher of Christ.

Pope Clement proceeded to read all of Dr. Barbara Thiering's books and to view her web site and also that of Dylan Stephens at pesherofchrist.com. Keeping an open mind, the Pope began to see that there was deeper message in the story and the miracles than appeared on the surface. This deeper meaning showed the need to re-establish the foundations of Catholicism if it was to survive in today's world.

The Pope realized that the vulnerability of Catholic Church was due to its foundation being no longer on the true rock of Peter, but upon myths and misinterpretations that were created later. With the Catholic Church, being second to none in its imagery and traditions, his Church would be the obvious choice for the revamping of all Christian religion into a whole and perhaps even the catalyst for an Ecumenical Council of all world religions. Like corporate take-overs, he regretted that many would lose their jobs and positions, but religion should never be a business.

Clearly, even the first step of reforming the Catholic Church would not be possible to accomplish in his lifetime even if he tried to use his infallibility. The outrage against it would definitely end in him being killed. History has already shown that, since a Pope rules for life, the method to depose a Pope is to poison him. Many think this had recently happened with Pope John XXIII. Power and money always corrupts. Thus he would rely on these thirteen students to be the new disciples of the Catholic Church that could bring about change in the next generation.

The thirteen students are in the class with their heads bent down busily taking the final for their Pesher Technique class.

Athruis glanced down at his cell phone in on the table, wishing he could text message Yashodra about the subject of a participle in their test on the pesher of Paul's life. He hated the pesher technique as it was too complicated to keep track of which subject or object had carried forward from what verse.

As he looked at the phone, he saw the words: 'No cheating' appeared on the screen. He looked up to see the priest at the desk smiling at him. Ashamed he turned off the mobile phone.

Athruis was raised on City Island, Bronx in North America. He is named after King Arthur, however his parents knew that Arthur had survived the Battle of Camlann to become a Celtic Saint to Brittany as St. Armel (Arthmael). Athruis was his name in the Llandaff Charters, which show the existence of Arthur as King of Glamorgan, Wales. Athruis was conceived on one of his parents' trips to Wales when they stayed on Bardsey Island, which is the true Isle of Avalon.

Athruis obtained a law degree at Georgetown University, his father's alma mater. His father had graduated with President Clinton and been invited to the White House for his 25th and 30th class reunion. His great grandfather was the portrait painter of President Eisenhower whose portrait is in the Gallery of Presidents in the Smithsonian.

Athruis plays the guitar and the drums and writes songs, which people say remind them of the 60's. He had a musical group called the Grey Company named from Aragorn and Gandalf the Grey from the north of Middle Earth. He is an Aquarius ruled by Uranus and an expert on the Gurdjieff philosophy.

His family could trace his heritage back to Gwenllian, Princess of Wales in the line of the Welsh princes and all the way back to the Merovingian kings and thus according the latest craze fueled by the DaVinci Code movie back to Jesus and Mary Magdalene. He had always felt an affinity to Jesus and had suspected that Jesus was merely a great man, not superman or God. Thus it was easy for him to be open to Dr. Barbara Thiering's discoveries.

Of the sixth senses, Athruis would represent the sense of hearing to the group and thus, since Peter was the 'Ear' of Jesus (his spokesman), he would be like Peter. His jewel was the blood-red jasper.

Athruis and Gwendolyn met by chance in the valleys of Europe, though more likely by fate. They were both sailing boats on Lake Geneva and had inadvertently steered into each other's way.

Being Athruis to Guinevere, the group had elected them king and queen.

After what seemed like an eternity and not nearly enough time, the bell sounded and the seven girls and six boys turned in their midterm papers for the course.

As Athruis walked out she began asking Yashodra about the rule of the participle.

Yashodra answered: "Stop worrying. You always get the highest grade."

Just then Athruis caught up to Gwendolyn, "I was wondering if you wanted to get together tonight. To celebrate the end of the pesher technique class."

Gwendolyn answered, "I am kind of sad that it is over. It was such an elegant theory. I guess I would like to, but I don't know if I can stay awake that long, but I will call you later. Now I need to take a nap. Tell Waring to apologize to Sheba." Gwendolyn was always trying to patch up the lover's quarrels.

All twelve, except Sheba who came later, walked into the lunchroom to relax.

Smell

Waring was the son of a popular flutist of Incan ancestry from Santiago de Chile in South America. He was a Gemini ruled by Mercury and a follower of Theosophy. He had a dimple on his chin and a mustache. Waring would represent the sense of smell in the group and his jewel is the lavender amethyst.

His affinity was with John the Baptist and he had put many of the hymns to music that John had written in the prison of Herod Antipas. He was disappointed that so much emphasis is placed on the "head on a platter story" that John's teachings have been lost in obscurity. He is called the 'Teacher of Righteousness' in the Dead Sea Scrolls and many of his hymns are in these Scrolls.

Easter Island, which is owned by Chile, had always been a place that Waring wanted to visit. He felt that it was sad that such an advanced culture had just disappeared with no history other than their stone statues. This is what had led him to see the solar eclipse in 2010 where he had met Gwendolyn.

Waring had first been intrigued by the mystery schools of Dionysus (Bacchus) before they disintegrated into wine orgies, especially when he found material that supported both a Crucifixion and Resurrection story. Waring saw the symbolism of the steps of initiation in the taunting of Jesus before the crucifixion and in the symbols in the Lord's Prayer.

Mystery schools rely on secrecy. They always have an inner and outer structure with the inner structure known only to a few. The outer structure masquerades as the essence of the mystery resulting in the view that all mysteries appear to be absurd.

The problem with the inner structure of the Mystery schools is that there is always a danger that those who have the knowledge are killed, leaving only its outer form. This had clearly been the case with Dionysus and the Druids. Waring was beginning to think that the same fate befell Christianity because all of the outward ritual of the Catholic Church seems to hint at a symbolism that has been lost.

It was on the cruise ship back to Tahiti that Waring and Gwendolyn discovered that they both had vision-quested on the night prior to the eclipse. His quest was not as esoteric for he played his ocarina through the night. Gwendolyn kidded him at first, but she agreed that his path was just as valid. After all, pure music has the capability of transcending to another realm where time no longer exists.

Waring was an actor by profession. Clearly, his parents knew that he was a natural as they named him after the famous Hollywood and Shakespearean actor Richard Waring. Gwendolyn introduced him to Sheba and they fell madly in love.

Khadija, Yashodra, Vitskaia, Isis, and Atira were sitting at one table.

"Doesn't it always seem that we are living in a fantasy world," Vitskaia said while munching on a delicious Italian pastry.

Yashodra said "It does feel so unreal, kind of like going to Harry Potter's school of magic."

Khadija said "I feel so privileged to be learning the secrets that Mary Magdalene knew as she taught the women and men of the Church. To get an idea of her thoughts about Jesus as she watched their daughter Phoebe grow up. And then to have to wait three years to see him before their next conjugal visit was allowed. It seems crazy."

Isis added, "I imagine she was happy to have a girl because, if it were a boy, she would have had to wait six years!"

Atira chimed in, "Yes, that was one advantage of her failure to produce a boy child that would continue the line of the David kings!"

Marshall who overheard them from the nearby table turns towards them and says: "Yes, I can see it now, the abbot addressing Mary Magdalene after her second child turned out to be a boy, 'We are so pleased with you that will now reward you with six years of purity'."

Khadija walks over to Marshall saying, "How do you know that she wasn't glad for it. You are falling into the false prostitute distortion." Smiling she roughs up Marshall's curly hair saying, "Personally, six years would be just right."

Marshall replies, "You just try. You will be begging me for a booty call by the evening."

Khadija, "We will see about that."

Marshall was born in Casablanca, Morocco in North Africa, but he lived on Guernsey Island off the coast of France. He was birth sign was Capricorn ruled by Saturn. He was a descendent of French nobility from an affair that his great-grandmother had with the grandson of Emmanuel, Marquis de Grouchy one of the 26 Grand Marshals of Napoleon and later one of the 10 Grand Marshals of Louis Philippe. This is how he got his name. When Morocco was still a colony of France, his father, a Sikh, was employed by the French Consulate.

Marshall would represent the sense of taste in the group and his jewel is blue lapis-lazuli.

Marshall had and affinity with John Mark, the one who is called "the disciple that Jesus loved" in the Gospel of John, but this was only because he was the go-between Mary Magdalene when Jesus was celibate or at male-only affairs. In the other gospels, he is called Bartholomew. His real name appears as John Mark in Acts. In these passages Peter had just been freed from prison and he approaches the church where Mother Mary presides and Mary Magdalene is heavy with child.

Dodgson, who was sitting with Marshall, smiled, "Those purity rules were pretty draconian, but I still think that the stupidest rule was rewarding baby boys by having part of the penis cut off! That is why John Mark is my hero as a celibate Gentile."

Marshall added, "Yeah, I still find it amusing those Jewish doctors managed to make the whole of the United States Jewish!"

Francesca Romana Church

Dodgson was born on Osaka, Japan and was a Pisces ruled by Neptune. His parents named him after Lewis Carroll.

He had apprenticed for years and years as a puppeteer in Japanese Bunraku traditional methods. As a master in his craft he worked tirelessly at getting the puppets to express human emotions using handles inside the full-length puppets rather than the strings of marionettes like Pinocchio. His troupe of players toured the world presenting famous plays from Japan's 'Shakespeare', the great playwright Chikamatsu. He also developed a version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, which became immensely popular.

Dodgson would represent the sense of touch in the group and his jewel is sea green aquamarine.

Dodgson had an affinity to Jesus Justus, the oldest son of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. He is mentioned by Paul in one of his letters.

Dodgson had traveled to Rome and visited Tiber island where Eusebius (author of The Church History in the time of Constantine) quotes Justin Martyr (born in 100 AD) that there was a statue to Simon Magus with the words, 'simoni deo santo' translated 'To Simon the Holy God'. He also visited the church Santa Francesca Romana that has the imprints of the knees of Peter and Paul when they prayed that Simon Magus might fall after flying in the sky. This event is told in the apocryphal Acts of Peter.

Dodgson knew that people, and even those who profess to be religious, are capable of maligning those that have different views as theirs. Clearly, it would take a person of Simon Magus' stature to cause such strong attacks against him such as Peter and Paul to wish his death! He often thought how scared the people would be if they found out that the beast of 666 was Jesus' superior! This is what was meant by the people in Jesus' time when they accused Jesus of following Beelzebub.

Since Dodgson was a Taoist, he and Atira would spend hours deciphering the mathematical connection of the golden proportion to the tai chi symbol of changes as shown by Alan Bennett who also studied Gurdjieff, For instance, when these orbits Mercury, Venus and the Earth are drawn in the tai chi circle in proper proportion, and with the vertical line, they give 8 points of a decagon, which forms a double pentacle. In fact the orbits of the planets also have a direct relationship to the ziggurats of Babylon and the djed of ancient Egypt.

Llyr and Simon were sitting at another table.

Simon was defending his namesake, "It is clear that Simon Magus was being unfairly painted as the beast 666, just because he was courageous and poisoned Agrippa I, who was putting members like Peter and James in prison. The Church took the easy way out and joined with his son Agrippa II which clearly excluded Simon as the killer of his megalomaniac‎ father."

Llyr, "I agree what you said about Simon. After all he worked out the scheme whereby he and Jesus could survive the Crucifixion, he instructed Nicodemus, whom we know to be Theudas, to remove the poison from Jesus' stomach after he was removed from the cross still alive."

Simon, "It is despicable that Peter is extolled for sabotaging Simon's flying illusion in Rome which resulted in his death."

Llyr, "It is easy to tell that writers used the opportunity of a faulty rope to pretend it was Peter's power that brought him down. They even added that Paul was there."

Simon, "I imagine so. People are never very excited about spiritual knowledge, but they love magic and associate magic with spiritual power. Simon capitalized on their weaknesses to sell memberships in the Church."

Llyr, "It is interesting to see how history is written by the winners. I was reading about Pelagius in AD 400 who was believed to be a Welshman. Logically, he taught that there was no original sin and the people could choose with God's guidance to be good or bad. St Augustine, the advocate for original sin, had him declared as a heretic and thus Pelagianism became a major heresy, causing many deaths. Since Adam and Eve are just an allegory, it is absurd that we should suffer for their sins."

Llyr is an archaeologist specializing in the architecture of the stone rings. He was born in Cardiff, Wales, but went to university in Plymouth, England. He was an Aries ruled by Mars and of the Protestant faith in the Welsh Church. His parents named him after the God of the Sea who was father to Bran and Branwen, who lived on the hill upon which Harlech castle in North Wales stands today. He has an affinity to the disciple John. John and James were twins, the sons of Julia, the daughter of Julius Caesar, but they had been kidnapped by pirates. Fortunately, they had been purchased by Helena who raised them like her own sons. John was married to Priscilla and so he felt a string kinship to Isis who has an affinity to Priscilla.

He had met Gwendolyn at the Merry Maidens in Cornwall, almost knocking her over as he was running ran around it being so dizzy from the energy vortex. While apologizing to her, he spotted her pentagram star and proceeded to tell her how it incorporated the silver fraction (7/19) and that (12 + 7/19 moon months = one solar year).

Gwendolyn told him she knew all about that, but he showed her that the reciprocal of the silver fraction is the megalithic yard measured in feet (19/7 or 2.72). Then he told her that all stone circles are laid out in whole numbers or halves of this unit. These stone rings even pre-date the Great Pyramid in Egypt.

Gwendolyn was already intrigued with the stone circles in Britain because some are made up of twelve stones and some of seventy-two stones and that these numbers had been used by the early church with the twelve disciples and the seventy-two disciples that he sent out to preach.

St. Leven Church, Cornwall

Deciding to tour together, Llyr and Gwendolyn tried to find the nearby Boscawen-Un circle in the dark, but ended up in a field of stinging nettles.

The next day they set out in the morning and found it. This stone ring was named "the structure under the elder tree" which clearly related to Druid tree magic. This flat type B shaped ring had a crystal stone in the center of nineteen stones that gives the feeling of stepping out upon the solar system. Not being in the shape a circle, it was once thought to be the result of crude calculations that resulted in an imperfect circle, but actually the flat type B ring is a most intriguing shape as it contains a proportion that relates the eclipse year to the solar year as does the inner horseshoe ring that is in the center of Stonehenge which has nineteen stones. It also contains many other proportions such as the mean orbits of the Earth and Venus if the Sun is in the center and as Saturn's farthest orbit to its nearest orbit if the Earth is in the center.

At this stone ring a local farmer told them that the Dragon ley line, contrary to common opinion is actually not at Land's End, but further down on a line that intersects St. Leven Church, Cornwall. The proof is a split rock in the church yard. Gwendolyn and Llyr, at first, could not find the rock that was split by the energies of this line, but when they walked around the church, just as they rounded the corner, a blast of energy made them feel quite dizzy. As they looked up, there was the split stone with the split facing them!

On the next day, they continued along the dragon line, which is now defined by many churches named after St. Michael to commemorate St Michael defeating the dragon and thus pretending the superiority of the church over the heathens. They took a bus to Glastonbury and climbed the Tor to sit in the center of the tower of St. Michael's church. This tower was open at both ends to allow the dragon force to pass through.

They completed their adventure in the inner circle of Avebury that was part of the dragon line and again they found a split stone at the end of the avenue of stones that led to the ring! Gwendolyn and Llyr could see that the Dragon ley line was real. The next time they met was at the School of the Pesher.

sixth sense

Simon was born in Sydney, Australia in Oceania. He has a strong build and high cheekbones very much like a famous playwright, Peter John Stephens who was well known for his Broadway play, 'The Power of Dreams'.

Simon could trace his mother and father's ancestry to some of the first boatloads of convicts that were shipped from England to Botany Bay. In fact, one of his ancestors was a famous smuggler in Wales who married into royalty. He is a Taurus ruled by Venus. He was proud of his Australian heritage and he had cultivated a thick Australian accent. He was an expert web and chat-room designer. Though he had the look of a 'jock', Simon was extremely well read and compassionate. Simon would represent the sixth sense in the group and his jewel is honey gold citrine.

Simon related well to the famous actor, Christopher Lee, who played Saruman in the Lord of the Rings and many other evil protagonists. He particularly liked the Opera by Charles Gounod about Faust who sold his soul to the devil and tragedy of Marguerite, whom he had wronged. Since this opera had its origin from the legends of Simon Magus and Helena, he started reading the Clementine Homilies, which were written by Pope Clement who was ordained by Peter. He immediately felt an affinity to Simon Magus since he had his name and was a magician and he thought himself a wizard also. Obviously Simon and Vitskaia got along well because she has an affinity to Helena, the consort of Simon Magus.

Having entered into the 'dreamtime' under the guidance of an Aborigine medicine man, Simon knew beyond a doubt that there was an alternative reality to the one that people believe is real. The quantum world already requires that everything has a probability occurring. Such a view on the universe certainly makes miracles possible.

He learned about the Aussie professor Dr. Barbara Thiering while attending the University of Sydney.

Finding the inhumanity of humans to each other hard to bear, he would often escape from reality as moderator of the Xanadu chat-room. It was there that he developed an online friendship with Llyr in London. Both he and Llyr would purposefully use Australian and English dialect words in their chats. His ability to retain all sorts of information in his head and his humor made him very popular at the local Aussie pubs where trivia contests and karaoke singing were the rage.

Since he was a Buddhist, he decided to compare Buddha's Eightfold Path with the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, and the 23rd Psalm. He was amazed at the similarities.

Sheba arrived late and Waring got up from Athruis' table and they both sat down together at another table. Shortly they were laughing together. So the trouble between them had passed.

The noise in the lunchroom was beginning to approach that of visitors to the Sistine Chapel where the guard shouts out in vain 'silentio.'

It was common for these thirteen to be rowdy and, as some would say, quite irreligious. They were very passionate about just about every thing. Perhaps it would appear that were acting irreverently about serious studies, but actually they were just being deeply religious in their own way.

They all felt that it was time that religion should have evolved from the requirement of 'heads bowed and knees bent to God' where you cannot avoid seeing the image of death and horror in the crucified image of Jesus. Religion needed to be a joyous celebration of Spirit and learning. The Quakers had the right idea, but now many meetings are just periods of silence with no one willing to speak.

The bell rang and they headed for their afternoon class, which was the one they liked best of all.

Father Stephanos is up at the front of the classroom. Being a Jesuit priest he is dressed in black with white collar. He is thin and has a beard that has silver strands in it and light hair with bushy eyebrows. He is in his sixties. the students like him the most because he had a relaxed method of teaching.

On the blackboard were the topics of today's class.
Father Stephanos begins, "On the issue of 'Who carried the cross', all four Gospels contribute information. On the issue of 'Times in the Crucifixion' there is an important discrepancy between the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and the Gospel of John, which when analyzed will give answers we never expected. Scholars have always excused the Gospel of John for its discrepancies, on the theory that it was written much later especially because of its poetic beginning. This, of course, we know is not true as it was actually written by Jesus with Simon Magus and it set the format that the Synoptic Gospels would follow. It was its revision, placing it last, which made it appear to be written later."

"Does anyone know a stanza of the 'Lord of the Dance' and would like to sing it?"

Isis says, "I will sing it." The class joins in on the chorus:

"Thank you, Isis and Class. It is based on an old Shaker hymn, but you will never believe that the words were written in 1963 by Sydney Carter."

"One of the reasons for this song seeming so ancient is that the song does bring forth the excitement of the Gnostic viewpoint of long ago that God is within you and that one's earthly life is an illusion. I wanted to start this session out on an up note as I think that it is wrong to dwell on the pain of the crucifixion as Mad Max's horror flick 'The Passion' did."

"As you know the Nag Hammadi library was found hidden in a jar in Egypt in 1945 in which were also found the now well-known gospels of Thomas and Philip. Would the Class please turn to Codex 7,2 titled 'The Second Treatise of the Great Seth'. Its emphasis is on the illusionary aspect of the crucifixion. It also seems to confirm that Simon was crucified with Jesus."

"Simon, since your name is contained in it, would you please read 56:5 starting at 'Yes'. By the way, Seth in the title is meant to be Jesus."

Simon reads the section on the left.

"Thank you, Simon. And we do not have to rely on the Nag Hammadi Library as the Gospels tell us that Simon was also on the cross."

"Vitskaia would you read Mark 15:21."

"This passage is especially interesting as there are many disguised issues. Having studied the Clementine Homilies in our previous lesson, who can tell us who this Simon is."

Vitskaia answers, "Clearly it must be Simon Magus because he was once the leader of the Church even though my boyfriend Simon often thinks I am the cross he bears."

The class laughs.

"Yes, Vitskaia, but what about the fact that this Simon is from Cyrene in Libya which was a major part of the Greek and Roman empire?"

"It is the same reason that he was called Lazarus; he had been excommunicated and was working his way back up through the hierarchy and Cyrene was certainly the farthest province away."

"Excellent! Vitskaia. Now assuming that it is Simon, let us explore the word 'Father' and the term 'passers-by'. Sheba would you read saying number 42 in the Gospel of Thomas."

"What you think about that Sheba?"

Sheba, "Clearly, it means that Simon was a member of the Church."

"Very good. So Class do you all agree that Simon was not just some unknown person who happened to be passing by, when he was forced to be in the crucifixion procession."

The class nods in agreement.

"Now, does anyone know who Alexander and Rufus are."

Waring, "Certainly, once we know Simon is a member of the Church, we know that his title of 'Father' means that he was their superior."

Athruis answers, "Using the location metaphor, Alexander would be someone from Alexandria and we know that Theudas, one of the twelve, was a Therapeut who had his headquarters in Egypt."

Gwendolyn speaks up next, "I am going to follow a different metaphor, which has to do with Thomas, the disciple. He was the son of Herod the Great, but his mother, one of the wives of Herod the Great, was accused of knowing of a plot to kill him and not informing him, so Herod took away her son's title to the throne."

Atira adds, "Being robbed of his birthright he was like Esau whose birthright was stolen by Jacob. Esau had red hair and Thomas must have also, thus Rufus meaning red."

Llyr adds, "That metaphor also works because the title of Jacob was held by the David descendant thus Jesus' grandfather Heli from Luke is 'Jacob' in the Matthew genealogy. Thomas, as Herod the Great's son, would have been the 'Jacob', but being dispossessed he would also be Esau, denied of his birthright."

"Excellent answers; very good inductive reasoning! Marshall would support Llyr's statement by reading Matthew 1:16"

"And now Isis, please read Luke 3:23."

Father Stephanos, "Note how Heli equals Jacob. I always get a laugh out of the 'as was supposed' as some scribe put it in wondering why Jesus' father would be relevant if Jesus were born from a virgin!"

"For a long time the Church thought that Luke's genealogy was that of Mary's because they thought Jacob was a person and not a title and the fact that the descent is from David's son Nathan whereas the Matthew one is from his son, Solomon. This little trick is a famous one of professional genealogists to graft a more important line on a correct one. In this case the line of Solomon was defunct."

"Anyway, now that we have defined Simon of Cyrene as Simon Magus, we now have to look at what people assumed was obvious: that Simon carried Jesus' cross. Let's have a show of hands of all those who think that Simon carried Jesus' cross."

No one raised their hand. "This class is very astute or perhaps justifiably suspicious of all scholarly views. What are your reasons?"

Dodgson answers, "Simon being a Father had a high position in the Church and might rather have made his subordinates carry his cross like Alexander or Rufus, if the Romans would allow it. Sort of like when you give us your research to do."

"That is a good reason Dodgson, and by the way, I was wondering who to give my stack of copying to."

The class laughs.

Yashodra adds, "I think that he was carrying his own cross because he was being crucified, too."

"Ah, Yashodra, very well said. Let us look at the three Gospels for whose cross it is."

"Simon would you read Mark 15:21 again."

Khadija, please read Matthew 27:32."

Athruis, please read Luke 23:26.

Marshall, please read John 19:16 and 17."

"Clearly, 'his cross', 'the cross of him', 'laid on him' does not exclude the possibility that it is Simon's cross that is laid upon Simon. Certainly, there were three crosses in the procession as three were crucified. And what of those two 'thieves'. First of all, Rome did not crucify thieves, unless they were insurrectionists against Rome. Of these two thieves we know that Jesus said he would see him in Paradise, implying that the other would not. Who wants to guess who the thieves were?"

Vitskaia says, "It is clear that one thief is Simon and he would be the one whom Jesus said he would meet in Paradise."

"Very good and did you know that even this word 'Paradise' was code for the caves in which they would be taken to, hopefully still alive."

"And what is the name of the third thief that should have been on the cross instead of Jesus?"

They all shout out in unison, "Barabbas!"

Father Stephanos grins, "I did that so I could hear that famous line from the Crucifixion, 'Give us Barabbas!' Now who was Barabbas?"

Sheba replies, "Barabbas means 'son of the Father' thus the Church leader Theudas, Zadok, having fought with Judas the Galilean."

"So from what we have now, there is priest and prophet/king and there is one position open for levite/priest subordinate."

"I know," says Khadija, "it would be Judas whom they say hanged himself, which is to say that his treason backfired and he ended up on the cross."

"And finally," said Father Stephanos, "To completely confirm our inductive reasoning, you will note that the Gospel of John says that Jesus carried his own cross right up to Golgotha and without the silly 'stumbling' bit that was added later! So you would all be correct."

"As homework assignment I want you to tell me who was on which cross. Dr. Thiering says that Simon was in the center. Please refer to her pesher technique for her logic."

"According to the principles of the Pesher of Christ in our class, Luke's statement "to bear it after Jesus" is saying that Pilate is not following possible Church hierarchy that would put Simon in the center as the leader. He understands that kings rule everyone and is delighted to give him center stage as "King of the Jews" because it annoys the Jews. Please take into account the Dead Sea Scroll CD 14 and Community Rule 1QS and 1QS6 that places the Priest first, Levite second, and the Israelites third. Thus Priest in the center, Levite on his left and King on the right."

"On the topic of the 'Hours of the Crucifixion', let's look at the passages that are there just before Jesus was placed on the cross."

"Athruis would you read the first part of Matthew 27:35."

"Not much there. Waring would you read Mark 15:25."

"Ah now we have a time. Dodgson would you read the middle part of Luke 23:33."

"Nothing there. Marshall would you read the first part of John 19:14."

"Now we have another time which seems to contradict. And now Vitskaia read also the first part of John 19:18."

"Nothing. All right, we now have the third hour and the sixth hour being the time of crucifixion. Vitskaia, what is a day in Judaism?"

Vitskaia answers, "from dusk to dusk, therefore on the equinox this would be 6 PM to 6 PM."

Father Stephanos says, "So for the Jews, the first hour of daylight would be 6 AM. Who knows the start time of a day for the Essenes?"

"That would be midnight, the same as the Romans and their first hour of daylight would be 6 AM also," says Marshall.

Father Stephanos says, "Obviously the time of Jesus' crucifixion would be remembered correctly. Any ideas on why there would be a discrepancy?"

Athruis answers, "Of course, they did not have clocks, but must have had hour glasses as indicated by Peter who denied Jesus as the cock crew thrice."

Atira adds, "The expression cock crew must have meant someone with an hour glass, calling out the three hours."

Simon adds, "Or a horny rooster." The class laughs.

Father Stephanos says, "I think we will go with Atira on that."

"Do we have a clue in which Gospel has the third hour and which has the sixth hour?"

Marshall answers, "Mark is the third hour and John is the sixth hour and it is John that was written by Jesus and Simon Magus and thus the sixth hour would be Essene time with the third hour being Jewish time."

Isis says, "Perhaps they were practicing a concept of daylight saving time."

Father Stephanos, "Isis, that is a good thought, but I think a silly system like that would be of little use in a simple society. Any more ideas."

Yashodra says, "Didn't the Essenes use a solar calendar and the Jews a lunar calendar."

Father Stephanos, "That is true and how can a calendar affect time."

Athruis answers, "Our calendar has 365 days, but the real length is about approximately 365.25 days, so after one of these years, we are 6 hours too slow, and, after four years, we are one day too slow, so a leap day is added. Six hours is 360 minutes in other words every day is 1 minute too slow."

Father Stephanos, "Thank you, I never thought of it that way. It makes my head spin."

Gwendolyn adds, "And forget about trying to align this with a lunar calendar which is over 10 days less a year."

Father Stephanos says, "All right then, let us supposed that the Essenes and the Jews have worked out a way to synchronize their calendars on some sort of lunisolar calendar and they are tired of getting up at 6AM three hours early in the dark. Seeing that the clocks were three hours slow, they decided to move them three hours forward. They choose the day before Passover to do it because it is the equinox.

Sheba exclaims, "It would make sense that the Essenes would do this at midnight and, if the Jews decided to accomplish this at noon, this would explain how their unchanged time had a three hour discrepancy.

"Khadija would you read Mark 15:33."

Father Stephanos says, "All three synoptic gospels have this statement. So what are the possibilities for the darkness?"

Atira replies, "The darkness would not be for an eclipse because they only last a few minutes."

Waring adds, "It would be absurd for God to have turned the day dark for three hours or that the onlookers to have fainted for three hours out of grief."

"All right then lets look at it in a table." Father Stephanos writes two columns on the blackboard.

Dodgson would you read the first part of Mark 15:34.

"And now Mark 15:37."

Father Stephanos says, "In between these two passages time, Jesus had been given the poison."

"Yashodra would you read the excuse that is given to take him down from the cross in John 19:31."

Father Stephanos says, "Do you see the sleight of hand - the hands of the clock that is! How many hours do you think Jesus on the cross?"

Vitskaia answers "From the third hour to the ninth hour would be six hours, but it can't be. The darkness must be the missing three hours."

Father Stephanos, "Anyone for six hours." No one replies. "Well, if you were a Roman soldier having to do this gruesome task perhaps it would seem like six hours. Pilate who had to arise early to travel from Jerusalem to Qumran and had his laughs when he wrote "King of the Jews" on Jesus' cross was probably drunk and completely bored with the show. The clock jumped from 12 AM to 3 PM and no one seemed to notice that only three hours went by. Jesus took the poison and appeared to be dead. James asks Pilate for his body and the Jews suggest that, since their religion forbids bodies to be left on the cross after sundown, Pilate allows them to be taken down. The legs of the other two were broken so that they would not be able to escape from their tomb and suffocate or die from their wounds."

"Marshall will you read Mark 15:44."

Father Stephanos, grinning ear to ear, says "Don't you love this stuff! For two thousand years no one but Pilate has suspected that Jesus could have survived his crucifixion given the short time on the cross and that crucifixion was designed for prolonged torture. Even if there were six hours on the cross, survival would still be possible, but now that we have found the time on the cross to be three hours it would certainly allow for their recovery. Jesus would be revived. Their elaborate escape plan worked!"

"The miracle of the Resurrection was not in the resurrection part, but in the amazing events that turned to his advantage to allow him to survive the Crucifixion."

"Don't forget the homework that I assigned you earlier. Class is dismissed."

Angels sound trumpets 1-4 & 5&6

The Pope had expressed his desire to learn about the seven angels of Revelation and the students decided to explain it as a pageant. The seven angels would be the seven sisters and they would be introduced by their six brother students.

Seated as the only audience are his Holiness and his trusted Cardinal in a raised observation box.

The seven sisters, will ascend a tall ladder that was placed in the center of the courtyard. They will take their respective positions on the steps corresponding to the notes from middle C to B just before high C. These notes represent the order of the notes in the universal octave.

The six brothers, in pairs of two, will introduce the notes divided as three sets: C-D-E, F-G, A-B. The brothers will describe the circumstances of each of the seven jubilees that lasted each for seven years and the corresponding verses from Revelation will be read. The jubilees cover the years 1 AD to 44 AD which goes from Jesus at the age of 7 to the death of Agrippa I and Jesus at the age of 50.

Each sister has an Apple IPad set to forward their assigned note picture to the Cardinal's IPad showing the position on the piano keyboard and its trumpet sound. They will speak out the location of each vibration and then describe the goal of each note in terms of its spiritual growth.

Llyr and Athruis come out.

Athruis reads from Revelation (on the left)

Llyr explains:
"The seven trumpets are the history of the Church from 1 AD to 44 AD. Each trumpet sounds at the beginning of each of the seven jubilees that contain seven years. The woes were extensions from non-fulfillment. The word third part relates to the hierarchical structure that placed Gentiles at level three. Voices is the mission to the Jewish Gentiles that would be personified by John the Baptist, Thunderings are Sadducee priests who gained control of the Priesthood that would be personified by Jonathan Annas, the Lightnings were the Samaritan doctrines that allowed uncircumcised Gentiles into the Church that would be personified by Simon Magus, Earthquake is the Zealot movement personified by Theudas-Barabbas and Judas Iscariot."

Athruis continues to read from Revelation as the sisters come out to the courtyard and ascend the steps of the ladder.

Athruis reads from Revelation:

Llyr explains:
"It is 1 AD to 7 AD. Simeon the Essene is the leader of the Church. The first trumpet was for the fall of Archelaus Herod. He was unseated like Pharaoh at the hand of Moses with the seventh plague of hail. The fire (sexual licentiousness) mingled with blood (menstruating females) caused his downfall. The Adam mission to Gentiles on Tiber Island in Rome lost its funding which affected the proselytes who had been initiated by the 'fishers of men' into the Church, being then able to sit on wooden pews (the trees), and the converts who were preparing themselves outside the Church (the green grass - the wheat)."

Vitskaia sends the first trumpet holding her IPad to the sky. "I sound the first note 'C' which vibrates within the body, the bones, the skin, and the muscles."

Athruis hands the IPad to the Cardinal and he shows it to the Pope.

Vitskaia speaks, "The 'C' trumpet proclaims, "From water and fire, female and male, life is born and nourished by lifeblood.

Athruis reads from Revelation:

Llyr explains:
"It is 8 AD to 14 AD Ananus the Elder a Sadducee is the leader of the Church. The mountain of fire is the death of Augustus Caesar in 14 AD. The new mountain of fire is Prince Agrippa I who is wishing to become a Herod like his grandfather Herod the Great and thus he supported the Noah mission on Tiber Island (the Sea). He had a house that would be referred to as the Tavern outside the walls where he held lavish parties and made important allies. He accepted females (blood) into the mission (the Sea), excluded homosexuals (creatures, namely dogs - previously accepted: 'having life') and replaced the priest who officiated 'the fishers of men' of the Noah initiation with himself as Adam."

Sheba sends the second trumpet holding her IPad to the sky. "I sound the second note 'D' that vibrates within adrenal glands and the hormonal system."

Athruis hands the IPad to the Cardinal and he shows it to the Pope.

Sheba speaks, "The 'D' trumpet proclaims, "Impulsive emotions which rise within, like the volcanoes of earth, must be channeled into the blood to reach the heart where balance can be achieved."

Athruis reads from Revelation:

Llyr explains:
"It is 15 AD to 21 AD. Eleazar Annas is the high priest. The third trumpet was for the death of Jesus' grandfather Heli (the great star). Joseph became the leader, but he aligned himself with Caiaphas who had replaced Eleazar in 18 AD. Since Caiaphas treated Jesus as illegitimate, Joseph allowed himself to be influenced by him and disowned Jesus and made his younger son James born in 1 AD his anointed successor. He had wanted to do this before when Mary became pregnant with Jesus, but the Essene angel, Simeon, had intervened. Thus Joseph's mind was poisoned and so were the many who continued to follow James even after the crucifixion."
"This is explained in the story that took place in 17 AD when Jesus was 23, the age of adulthood in the Church therefore the twelfth year after his Bar Mitzvah. His father had abandoned him at the Passover Feast, so Jesus stayed on to align himself with Eleazar the Sadducee, his new Father, who recognized him as the legitimate heir to the David throne."

Khadija sends the third trumpet holding her IPad to the sky. "I sound the third note 'E' that vibrates in the sexual center and up the rivers and streams of the nerve pathways to the cerebellum in the brain."

Athruis hands the IPad to the Cardinal and he shows it to the Pope.

Khadija speaks, "The 'E' trumpet proclaims, "Sexual energy and the impressions of the five senses, must not be a distraction, but need to be channeled to the brain. Thoughts, feelings and attraction are the physical body, but this is only one-third of the potential of every human being."

A dedication to the Holy Mother of Christ.

Waring and Marshall come in as Llyr and Athruis go out.

Marshall reads from Revelation:

Waring explains:
"It is 22 AD to 28 AD plus 3 more years to 31 AD. Jonathan Annas (the Eagle) as the leader of the Church, declared three more years as Woes to the Jubilee to allow for John the Baptist's possible recalculated days for the Restoration: 29, 30, or 31 AD depending on which calendar was used. Jonathan was the 'Flying Eagle' because he worked with East and West factions of the Church."
"When the Restoration did not come in 31 AD, John the Baptist (the Sun) and Helena (Luna) lost their power and John was imprisoned, but Helena joined Simon Magus and got him John's head-ship when she danced for Herod Antipas.
Jesus' father, Joseph (Star), had been killed in 23 AD as evidenced by the healing of the infirm woman because Joseph's group placed Mother Mary in the class of the infirm. When he died, her level could be raised when she joined Jesus' Church. Later in 43 AD Peter welcomed her into his Church as if dead because she had been in the Church of her son James."
John the Baptist (the Light - John 1:6-8) was imprisoned.

Isis sends the fourth trumpet holding her IPad to the sky. "I sound the fourth note 'F' that vibrates in the heart where the energies from the emotions begin to form the Spirit body."

Marshall hands the IPad to the Cardinal and he shows it to the Pope.

Isis speaks, "The 'F' trumpet proclaims, "when body, emotions, and thought are balanced by the action of consciousness the energy of the planets can be accessed to build a Spirit."

"CONSCIOUSNESS is the First Responsibility."

Marshall reads from Revelation:

Waring explains: "It is 30-37 AD. Jonathan Annas is the leader of the Church. The fifth trumpet covers the time of the execution of John the Baptist, the Crucifixion of Jesus and his mission. The keys of the bottomless pit have been given to James (the Star) who is Joseph of Arimathea and the younger brother of Jesus and now the leader in Jesus' place who is assumed dead (in hiding). This image refers to his having the keys to the cave that Jesus had been placed in after the Crucifixion, above the valley that was referred to as Hell, the mirrored reflection of the valley of Hinnon where the garbage of Jerusalem was burned. Judas had been thrown into this Hell.
"Thus when Jesus was placed in the cave latrine where the money was hidden and believed to be dead, he would be resurrected like Abaddon, the ruler of the Underworld because he had defeated death. This is the only reference to Jesus' Crucifixion."
"The locusts were the remnants of the followers of John the Baptist who lived on locusts in the desert. After his death, Jesus gained many of his followers seeking death (martyrdom). Their descriptions resemble the evangelizing chariot creature of Ezekiel: man (women now accepted), lion, ox (typically the royalty), eagle (scorpions). Their armor were their church vestments, their wings were their sleeves "

Atira sends the fifth trumpet holding her IPad to the sky. "I sound the fifth note 'G' which vibrates in the lungs where the energies from air are connected with the energies of the blood to form a Spirit body."

Marshall hands the IPad to the Cardinal and he shows it to the Pope.

Atira speaks, "The 'G' trumpet proclaims, "Once we have entered the world of Spirit, but still trapped within the physical body, we will see the good and evil in everything within our hearts. Awareness of the sorrow of the world will act to perfect our Spirit."

"CONSCIENCE is the Second Responsibility."

Dodgson and Simon come in as Waring and Marshall go out.

Simon reads from Revelation:

Dodgson explains:
"It is 37-44 AD. Theophilus Annas is the leader of the Church. The sixth trumpet tells of the poisoning of King Agrippa by his eunuch Blastus. Caesarea was called the Great River Euphrates because Babylon was used as a term for Rome and this city had been dedicated to Augustus Caesar. Matthew Annas, the writer of the Gospel of Matthew and of the family of Annas, was the angel at level 4 at the abbey in Caesarea that belonged to Simon Magus."
Simon was accused of the murder of King Agrippa, deluding people with magic as Simon the Magician, the theft of Church money, by requiring membership fees based on ability to pay, and the using of using sexual enticements with his consort Helena, such as stealing of the head-ship from John the Baptist. As to the accusation of fees, Peter supposedly struck Simon and Helena down dead, but really just excommunicated them. This was when they were being called Ananias and Sapphira."

Yashodra sends the sixth trumpet holding her IPad to the sky. "I sound the sixth note, 'A' which vibrates in our cerebellum from which the Soul is connected."

Simon hands the IPad to the Cardinal and he shows it to the Pope.

Yashodra speaks, "The 'A' trumpet proclaims, "Our brains have been overwhelmed with information that has been collected from the five senses: gold, sliver, brass, stone, and wood. Our personality, like the blinders on a horse, has filtered out the information that might be too painful to face. As we open this 'Pandora's Box' of our mind, we must be impartial to ourselves. God does not expect us to be crucified for our sins, the Lamb has atoned for them. Our sufferings are the measure of God within us. We must see the truths about ourselves with the eyes of God."

"IMPARTIALITY is Third Responsibility."

Simon reads from Revelation:

Dodgson explains:
"It is 44 AD. The seventh trumpet was for King Agrippa II and the foundation of a new party of Peter and Paul called "Christians" separate from the Samaritans of Simon Magus and Mary Magdalene in 44 AD with a New Testament and a New Jerusalem."
"Two prophets are mentioned: Jesus and Theudas-Barabbas. Verse 11:8 tells us that Jesus was crucified in the spiritual place of Sodom and Egypt which is a reference to Qumran on the upper part of the Dead Sea with the ancient Sodom and Gomorrah being in the lower part of the Dead Sea. It was from these cities that Abraham and Lot had fled before they were turned to salt. The second prophet Theudas-Barabbas had escaped the Crucifixion because he was replaced by Jesus, being too old. He was not that lucky the next time as according to Josephus, the historian, Theudas, in trying to fulfill the Therapeut prophecy of the Restoration by crossing Jordan, had been killed with his followers by the Roman procurator Fadus.
The reason for the association of Theudas and Jesus was because Christianity would now encompass the followers of Jesus and the Therapeuts of Theudas in a Herodian form."

Gwendolyn sends the seventh trumpet holding her IPad to the sky." I sound the seventh note 'B' which vibrates within the cerebrum of the brain to perfect the Soul."

Simon hands the IPad to the Cardinal and he shows it to the Pope.

Gwendolyn speaks, "The symbol of the two candlesticks and the two olive trees, which are the dual sexual organs of males and females, is to remind us that sexual energy when transmuted is the Soul child within the temple of the mind."

"The 'B' trumpet proclaims, it is egoism that gives the strength of character to build a Soul, but only by being willing to give up the ego, will we be able to gain a Soul."

"SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD is the Final Responsibility."

The students exit and come out to take their bow.

His Holiness shouts, "Bravissimo" and he and the Cardinal clap their hands.

They leave the courtyard and the Cardinal and His Holiness are now alone.

His Holiness says, "I have great hopes for this next generation. They are the children of the world. They see all peoples and all religions and groups as equal. This is the only meaningful apocalypse, the true legacy of Christ's love."

The Cardinal in his advisor role, "Your Holiness, all these different religions make me nervous. I have advised you before that I believe that this idea of 'The School of the Pesher of Christ' is a dangerous one. You were elected on a platform of strict adherence to doctrine. The Pesher of Christ denies the main tenets of our faith expressed in the Nicene Creed. If Jesus Christ is not the Son of the Father or of the same substance as the Father then the Catholic Church will lose its status as the primary religion."

His Holiness says, "I do these things so that the Catholic Church can reflect only truth. As leader of the Church, I must be willing to be martyred like Jesus and Peter. My life is for Christ to use as He pleases. It is my duty to unravel God's mystery even if it means finding unsettling truths such as the books from that woman from down-under that they call 'Auntie Christ'".

The Cardinal is quite concerned, "I wish you would not call her 'Auntie'. She wrote a book proclaiming "Jesus the Man" and now you think it is funny that she should be the female Anti-Christ."

The Pope starts giggling again. In between his giggles he says, "And she's from down-under!" Recovering, he adds and she's a woman:

The Cardinal continues, "Not many will see the humor. They will proclaim you as the next Beast 666 for even reading her book. So many religious fanatics are secretly wishing for a bloody apocalypse at the second coming. It will be easy for them to see it as God's will to assassinate you."

His Holiness, ignoring the Cardinal, "The truths of today will be the myths of tomorrow. Just last century, it was believed that matter was matter, but then Einstein proved that matter is energy. Then it was believed that the particles in the atoms had a fixed position in time and space, but now quantum mechanics shows that there is only the probability of them being there."

The Cardinal, says, "You are talking about science, but Faith in Jesus Christ, our Savior is eternal and unchanging."

His Holiness replies, "How many people know that our Bible was written in Greek and was translated into English or Latin and we have no way of knowing that its meaning has been preserved? It is for this reason that Jesus said, 'Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.'"

The Cardinal's expression suddenly changes to show his personal despair. "I cannot deny that my faith has been severely shaken since I studied the 'Pesher Technique' and the 'Pesher of Christ'. Now I find myself weeping as a child who has just been told the truth about Father Christmas. Can it be possible that Jesus did not have a virgin birth, and even could have been declared illegitimate? Can it be possible all of his miracles were stories with a different meaning? Can it be possible that he did not die on the cross, but was rescued and revived? It is preposterous to think that Jesus fathered a daughter and two sons with Mary Magdalene and then divorced and remarried and had another girl child!"

How could it be that Jesus lived to the age of 78 in Rome and we do not know about it! I feel like I should just be crucified upside down like Peter, if I believe these things as truth."

His Holiness speaking soothingly, "Do not be disheartened, dear friend. In time these truths can set you free. If a mere human can establish one of the greatest churches on earth, then this should inspire you to become a greater human being than you thought you could be. We need a world where people are not afraid to talk directly to God. Where they do not need Jesus or me to be their go-between. Let your sins be judged by your own conscience, which must be a reflection of God's Love within you. God exists. That is confirmed by the goodness of people."

The Cardinal, "Your words have lightened my heart and I hope to see that day also. It is truly a momentous time in which we live, 'Alpha and Omega', the beginning and the end, the first and the last!"

Gwendolyn had a strong feeling that the seven sisters and the six brothers were together for a reason. It was not enough just to be a disciple of the Pesher of Christ, there had to be a great task that they needed to accomplish, certainly something that would prevent an apocalyptic end. She could not stop these thoughts going back and forth in her brain and felt that if she could not find the answer soon that she would soon go crazy. She wanted so much to serve God's Will.

To clear her thoughts, Gwendolyn took a bus to the bridge over the Tiber River and walked across slowly to Tiber Island towards the other bank from Rome.

She imagined that she could see Jesus as a boy having been taken to Rome by his father Joseph in 2 AD. She imagined him as a eight year old running across the Tiber bridge to catch up to Joseph who was carrying his brother James who had been born in September 1 AD. His mother Mary and the sisters walking behind them were whispering about the angel that had visited Mary when she was found pregnant too early. Joseph was telling Jesus the story of the Sower and how this was his mission to grow the wheat of the new converts.

She stopped at a ristorante on the other side. While she sipped a cup of coffee, she took out six U.S. coins turning them over to the side with an eagle and placing them in a circle with their sides touching. Taking a seventh from her purse and placing it in the middle, she saw that it fit perfectly.

She thought of how this related to the six sisters with her in the center and to the six women under Mother Mary who followed Jesus. It even related to the week where six days surround the seventh, the most important day: Sunday or the Sabbath or the Muslim Friday. Clearly the seven coins were also related to the Law of Seven.

John 21:1-6,10,11 Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish
Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee [Jonathan Annas], the sons of Zebedee [James and John], and two other disciples [John Mark - disciple Jesus loved v.7 & 20 and Titus, the head of Ham- Fish number two in Matthew 14:17 Feeding of the 5,000] were together. "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered. He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish ... Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught." So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.

---

Although John 21 was added later, it lays out the new hierarchy of Church after the Crucifixion. Clearly it values the silver fraction which points to an Essene Pythagorean heritage and is certainly to crow about their lunisolar calendar.
Using a Stonehenge builder's rope marked with 30 equal divisions to lay out a 5:12:13 right triangle representing 30 days in a month and then dividing the '5' side into lengths 3 and 2, the triangle formed is 3² + 12² =sqrt (153) and a hypotenuse of 12.369 (12 plus the silver fraction: 7/19)!



The number 153 forms a triangle with 17 lines. O OO OOO OOOO OOOOO OOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thinking about the twelve disciples around Jesus, she remembered that 12 balls could surround a thirteenth with all sides touching.

This relationship is also reflected in the twelve solar months with thirteen lunar months in a year. This was expressed in the fairytale of Sleeping Beauty in her childhood where there are twelve gold plates with only twelve invited and a thirteenth guest spoils the party. The moon has always brought chaos to a calendar that is built on the sun and yet uses the moon for months (moon-ths).

Considering that the group of the twelve disciples around Jesus was designed to bring the Holy Spirit to the world and visualizing this three dimensional figure of 12 balls surrounding a thirteenth, she decided that this figure must be the door from the third dimension to the fourth dimension which would be the Spirit. As previously in a similar way, the two-dimensional 'six coins surrounding a seventh with each side touching' would represent the door from the second dimension to the third dimension, which would be a perfected physical person.

Thinking of the silver fraction 7/19 (12 + 7/19 moon months = one solar year) that is mirrored at Stonehenge in the ratio of diameters of the Aubrey and Sarsen circles and in stone circles containing 19 stones, she knew that the number 19 had to be important. In the relationship of the sun and the moon there is the Metonic cycle and the Saros cycle. The Metonic cycle is the number of years it takes the sun and moon to return to the same place in the sky and its value is nineteen years. The Saros cycle is when the Sun, Earth, and Moon returns to approximately the same relative geometry to produce a nearly identical eclipse as before and has a value of almost exactly eighteen years. Given that the occurrence of a solar eclipse is the most reality changing event and appears to be a fourth dimensional event in time and space, it is must be the relationship of eighteen around a nineteenth with all sides touching that would be the door from the fourth dimension to the fifth dimension of Soul.

Now, Gwendolyn needed to figure out how this all related to seven sisters and six brothers. Certainly it was obvious that seven plus six equals thirteen, thus twelve around a thirteenth, but how would it be possible to create 18 around the 19th? Then she thought of the six disciples of Jesus (Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, and John Mark), who had visited them on their "Confirmation". These six were equivalent to the twelve because they were really the only disciples under him. (There other six: Jonathan and Matthew Annas, Thomas, Theudas, Judas, and Simon Magus were just allies.) Thus if the six brothers could represent twelve, then by adding the six sisters there would be eighteen with Gwendolyn being the nineteenth.

Looking up at the sign on the ristorante where she was sitting which said "L'Agnello" (the Lamb), the answer jumped into her mind, and she exclaimed softly out loud, 'The Marriage of the Lamb'! In her mind she saw the seven sisters building six around the seventh being the Virgin Mary in the center, then with the brothers around them as spokes of a wheel, representing the twelve disciples around a thirteenth being Jesus, merging with Gwendolyn as the nineteenth!

Within six, twelve, and eighteen would be seven, thirteen and nineteen, the union of three becoming One as a being neither male nor female, not as the trivial act of sexual union, but a new being like an archangel, having no gender. This ceremony of nineteen she was sure would be a lightning rod for the Second Coming for it would bring the male and female icons of Christianity together. The feminine principle of the Virgin Mary joining with masculine principle of Jesus would be the true paradigm for the next era! Little did she know that a different Second Coming was about to happen before that.

Just then the waitress came over to her and asked if she had just requested the lamb dinner. "No, no," Gwendolyn said laughing, "this meal needs to be merely a glass of red wine and bread, per favore."

Gwendolyn was overjoyed as she breaks the bread and sips the wine. She had discovered the connection between the defining goal of the silver fraction that related seven and nineteen to the central event of Revelation. She smiled to herself as she realized that all she needed to do now was to write the invitation list for this cosmic wedding.

The Marriage of the Lamb would be symbolic for the birth of a Soul that is born from the union of Spirit with God. This marriage would be the third level, the 'Holier than Spirit', the 'Holy Soul'!"

Having solved this riddle of the Apocalypse, Gwendolyn chose the obvious location for this 'Wedding of the Lamb' and that was to be at Qumran or perhaps just south of Qumran in the location of the Queen's house, where Jesus was born. Elated, she started walking quickly back over the Tiber River, anxious to tell the others.

However, her elated state suddenly turned to panic as there was a great uproar in the crowds on the bridge and she heard people shouting, "The Pope has been Shot!" Gwendolyn jumped into a cab back to the Vatican.

When Gwendolyn arrives at the Vatican, the guards rush her downstairs to the catacombs below St. Peter's. They move her quickly through burial tombs and around to the left to the Memorial Chapel next to the tomb of St. Peter and then leave.

Athruis hugs her saying, 'I am so glad you made it back. So you have heard about the Pope."

"Is he all right?"

"They rushed him to the hospital. He is alive, but in a coma. But that is not the worst of it."

Vitskaia shows her the newspaper headline: "POPE SHOT".

To the left it says "U.S. AMBASSADOR WALKS OUT OF THE SUMMIT."

The article goes on: "Says he is tired of waiting for consensus for his nuclear bomb plan."

To the right is "NUCLEAR BOMB MISSING". The Christian Right are praying for the Apocalypse.

Isis in tears says, "His Holiness must have gone to the Peace Talks."

The seven sisters and the six brothers are seated in the small chapel in the pews: Simon & Vitskaia; Llyr & Atira; Waring & Sheba; Marshall & Khadija; Dodgson & Isis; Yashodra is sitting next to Athruis & Gwendolyn. Father Stephanos is at the front.

Sheba, "I hate this place with those freaky mouse bones in the glass tomb."

Waring, "But still it is quite possible that Jesus is buried here."

Father Stephanos, "The Cardinal has instructed me to make sure that you stay here to be safe. Try to remain calm and let us pray for the world."

They bow their heads and say "Our Father who art in Heaven ..." The walls start to rumble and shake, but they keep on saying the Lord's Prayer to the end.

Father Stephanos says, "My God, I had dreamt of this. I fear that the world has destroyed itself this time."

There is an eerie silence and the shadowy form of the Cardinal appears out of the gloom.

Cardinal speaks, "My children, I was coming down to you as I heard others screaming 'The Rapture has come!' Now I find myself fading away also. In this ghostly world that I am entering I feel the presence of my good friend His Holiness saying to me, "Tell them to carry on in the creation of the New Jerusalem."

Taking a pocket watch from his vestments, he hands it to Father Stephanos. His Holiness told me to give you this if anything should happen, so I rushed back to get it from his chamber. He said it was made by a descendant of Aaron, the high priest of Moses."

He hands the watch to Father Stephanos, but as he is doing this he begins to fade out, saying "Peace be with you." Then he is gone.

Father Stephanos says, "I wish I could tell you that this was the Rapture. Saint Paul warned the fanatics that no one can ascend to heaven fully clothed or naked, but so many misguided Christians still believe this."

Atira says immediately, "It must be a neutron bomb. I have always heard it said that such a bomb could penetrate the strongest armor and turn people into ghosts."

Waring, "We should of thought of that before. That sounds like the perfect way to solve the global warming problem."

Sheba in tears, "You are so insensitive. Think of all of those innocent beautiful people gone."

Waring, putting his arm around her, "You know I did not mean that. I was just trying to lighten the moment."

They all burst into tears and hug each other.

Father Stephanos, "My fellow saints, please let us not give up hope. As we sit next to the tomb of Jesus and Peter, let us reflect on why it is that we seem to be the only people left in the world. We need to figure out why the Cardinal has left us this pocket watch. It appears to be stopped at the exact second of the explosion. Does anyone have any ideas?"

Father Stephanos gives the watch to Gwendolyn and they begin to pass it from hand to hand.

Simon staring at the watch, "I believe that if there was some way we could regain that second of time, we could override that second of annihilation."

Atira, "Everyone knows that you cannot go back in time."

Yashodra, "Ah, but this is the Second Coming!"

After a moment Gwendolyn smiles at Yashodra, "Good thinking! That is a new take on it!"

The others still look at them blankly.

Athruis, pointing to the watch, "A second."

In unison they say "Oh, my God"!

Vitskaia, "But how does one recapture a past second of time?"

Sheba, "Since the Apocalypse relies on the Second Coming of Christ, I believe that this second must be contained in Jesus' past."

Marshall turns the watch over in his hand to read the back. "I remember that I used to have a watch that said it had 17 jewels. How many does this say? Thirteen. The unlucky number."

Waring, "Not, unlucky. Perfect! Twelve disciples and Jesus makes thirteen."

Khadija, "The disciples and Jesus are thirteen, and we are also seven and six."

Yashodra, "Seven being the spiritual force that acts like the notes of an octave and six being the six senses recognized in the Hindu religion must have significance."

Vitskaia, "Simon, your sixth sense of intuition should be a start."

Father Stephanos, "The six disciples under Jesus were the Gentiles and referred to as the 'Earth'. They could be equated to the six physical senses that Jesus assigned to the men as pranas."

Marshall, "It is clear now why we men were assigned to the six physical senses. Mine is taste.

Khadija, "In Gwendolyn's vision quest on Easter Island, we seven women represented the seven chakras, which are related to the higher vibration states of the body."

Gwendolyn, "I was just working on the principle of 18 around a nineteenth as a gateway to the fifth dimension. Our twelve around the thirteen would be a gateway from the third dimension to the fourth."

Llyr, "That gives us the time travel part since time is in the fourth dimension."

Isis, "My chakra is the heart and my jewel is a red ruby."

Sheba, "Mine is the spleen where hormonal energy arise. Perhaps this is a clue to finding my jewel, the misty white moonstone."

Waring, "My sense is smell. Maybe there is an event that will present itself to me relating to smell."

They pass the watch back to Father Stephanos, who takes out a tool, takes the back off the watch, and examines it carefully."

Father Stephanos, "Believe it or not Class, I used to be a watchmaker for my order in Switzerland. Now I see what the problem is. All the twelve tiny jewels and the crystal inside have dissolved. His Holiness must have known that these jewels would need to be replaced. Since Aaron had twelve jewels in his breastplate these jewels must be those jewels that once adorned the walls of the New Jerusalem, but were lost. Apparently, we have to rebuild the New Jerusalem now. I think that the jewels have been scattered back to the time of Jesus."

Atira, "How does one go back in time? Time only moves from the present to the future. This is supposedly built in to the expanding universe that clearly moves from order to disorder."

Father Stephanos, "Ah, but that is only the nature of matter. Life works in the opposite direction moving from disorder to order. "

Llyr, "There is no doubt that all those who have lived before have left their vibrations in the atmosphere of the Earth."

Athruis, "I agree. It is not illusion when people say they are King Arthur or Guinevere or Jesus or Joan of Arc. They are just connecting with the vibrations that are still there."

Gwendolyn, "I have certainly experienced these sympathetic connections. Perhaps this is what channeling is. I feel that I have channeled Mother Mary within myself. "

Vitskaia, "Actually, this bomb must have created a black hole and time may now be fluid. I think we can use our sympathetic connections to actually go back to important past events in the life of Jesus."

Father Stephanos, "It may be that our sympathetic connections are actually keeping us alive now. By the way, you probably know what great person I resonate to."

The Class, in unison, "Jesus."

Father Stephanos, "That is my fortune and misfortune. Believing that you are Jesus is a known psychotic illness. As soon as psychics do a reading on me, they run away since they believe that it could not possibly be true. It seems to call into question their abilities and it scares them. Anyway, as Jesus I will be able to help you as your spirit guide."

"Let us focus on our characters and the most important events that these characters experienced. Your jewel should reveal itself by your chakra or prana. You may not be able to return right away, as the slipstream of time may not take you on the shortest path. But you must trust that the natural order of things will have to take you back. If you do not return, I will go back to find you. When we are all back, I will put the jewels into the watch and set it one second back before the explosion."

"Now each of you must go back in time to find the jewel that was assigned when you joined this group. And Gwendolyn, your diamond crystal, acts for jasper, but clearly it is the most important for the watch. Is everyone clear about your tasks?"

The Class in unison, "Yes."

Father Stephanos, "Everyone close your eyes as I read from Revelation 21 (on the left) with your name after your jewel. Try to connect with the character you resonate to." He picks up the Bible and reads these verses aloud assigning each stone. Then repeating again as one by one they disappear, "Blood-red jasper:Athruis, diamond crystal:Gwendolyn sapphire:Vitskaia, misty white moonstone:Sheba, green emerald:Llyr, pale brown garnet:Khadija, red ruby:Isis, honey gold citrine:Simon, bluish opal:Yashodra, light green peridot:Atira, sea green aquamarine :Dodgson, lavender amethyst:Waring, and blue lapis-lazuli:Marshall."

Joseph repents his actions to Magus Menahem

The scene goes out of focus and gets smaller in a swirling mass of particles as time travels backward.

It is March, 7 BC. Mother Mary. In the early stages of labor, lying on a square stone bench. A spirit-like Mary-Gwendolyn enters Mother Mary. A midwife is helping. Just over the top of the room one can see the head of a donkey.

Her husband Joseph, the Sadducee priest Ananus, the Pharisee priest Joazar Boethus are outside the door, which is open.

Mary-Gwendolyn, between contractions, "The pains are coming more often now."

"That's the way, dear Miriam, the David queen. Try to forget these meager surroundings. Just relax and breathe deeply."

The Magus Menahem arrives and kneels next to Mary, "I am here as your physician if you need me."

Mary-Gwendolyn gasping, "You are my Angel."

Joseph beckons to the Magus Menahem to come back to the doorway.

Joseph, "Esteemed Magus, I am pleased that you have followed the star of David and have, come here today." Now speaking nervously, "What is your position on the issue of betrothal being a substitute for marriage? Must I give up my child to be an orphan? The chief priest Joazar Boethus, over there says I must."

Magus Menahem, "If it's a boy, you can rely on my party of the East to say he is the legal heir to the great dynasty of the David kings. Though the child will be born six months too early, you and Mary were committed to each other at your binding betrothal."

Joseph, "I should not have let the moonlight get to me. She was so young and beautiful, a luscious 17 year old and I was a brash 36 year old."

The two priests stand further away, averting their eyes as Mary begins to let out occasion cries of pain.

Sadducee Ananus, "As a Sadducee, I agree with the Essene Magus Menahem. Their binding betrothal in June is as good as a wedding. Their first wedding was supposed to be three months later in September. No sexual relations until December. After that would be the testing of three months of purity from monthly cycles with a second marriage in March. That they missed the first marriage and proceeded directly to the second marriage is a mere technicality."

Mary about to give birth


Pharisee Boethus declares Jesus illegitimate;
Sadducee Ananus overrides him


Jesus is born

Pharisee Boethus, in a loud voice, "Nonsense, Ananus. The Law is the law. We ascetic Pharisee Jews stand for an even higher standard of sexual discipline than most, earning the admiration of all. All sex outside of marriage is sin. Marriage was already a privilege, as celibacy is preferred. It is fitting that Mary give birth in the stables next to the latrine."

Sadducee Ananus, "Sex is a necessary evil to continue the kingly line. Mary should be treated as the David Queen, a virgin of the house of Dan."

Pharisee Boethus, "I have made my self clear on this issue. This is a sin!" If a son is born today I will rise up as a Dragon and make war against Mary and her seed. I will gain the assistance of the shepherd, Theudas, who watches over the sheep to lead these troops against Babylon of Rome if need be. I will make sure that even my Pharisee successor, Caiaphas, shall favor this Barabbas over this illegitimate pretender to the throne of the west."

Sadducee Ananus, "You should be careful what you call sin Joazar. After all, the reason that you gained your position as chief priest was by giving your daughter to be another one of Herod's wives. It is clear that Herod will not live much longer and a Sadducee will surely replace the Pharisees because we are the party of peace."

Midwife, "It will be any minute now. Gentlemen, gentlemen would you please be quiet so that Mary can concentrate."

Shout of release from Mary. A child wrapped in swaddling clothes is held up.

Joseph., "My son, Jesus! He will be the Joshua when I am gone! He walks over to Mary and kisses her. Thank you for this child. And do not worry if this child turns out to not be accepted, we will just have another in six years and by the rules this time. Perhaps we will call him after me so he will be known as James Cleopas. Maybe we will even have three more boys after that."

Mary-Gwendolyn, gasping, "You are the Holy Spirit. Who am I to deny you? Your passion prevails. For this I should be called the Holy Mother of God."

Magus Menahem, "I predict that this child may well achieve three treasured goals: gold, frankincense, and myrrh:
To surpass the copper of the layman, the silver of the levite and even to aspire to the gold of a priest.
To wash his clothes in the white starch of frankincense, to be free from sin, choosing to be an Essene celibate rather than a freedom fighter like his father.
To wear robes fragrant with the myrrh as in the wedding psalm of the David kings as a dynast married to Magdalene, the virgin of Mega-Dan."

Pharisee Boethus declares that Herod is the King


Elizabeth welcomes Jesus

Sadducee Ananus, "Glory to God in the highest! May the Kingdom come, bringing peace on earth, under a king of the rightful line of David."

Pharisee Boethus, "That is blasphemy! Herod the Great is the king! Long may he reign!"
Then as an aside,
"Even if he is near to insanity. Long may his sons reign after him! (aside)
If he does not assassinate them all."

Magus Menahem, whispering to Joseph, "Do not fear the wrath of Herod towards this future king for he will be deceived. He does not know that our Bethlehem is the Queen's house, a mere hour's walk south of Qumran. You will be safe in our Egypt, a mere two hours walk more to the south."

Midwife, Picking up the baby and walking through the gateway in the wall of Qumran, "Look at this beautiful child, Elizabeth."

Elizabeth, "I am filled with joy that Miriam, my sister nun, has given birth to a boy! I pray that his illegitimacy can be overcome and that this month of March can be as blessed as September last when I gave birth to John. I believe they both will be leaders and baptize many."

Sadducee Ananus. "Peace on earth."

The midwife brings the baby back to Mary-Gwendolyn and as the baby begins to nurse, and as she caresses his forehead she finds a diamond crystal.

Clementine Homilies II:23. SIMON A DISCIPLE OF THE BAPTIST. "But that he came to deal with the doctrines of religion happened on this wise. There was one John, a day-baptist, who was also, according to the method of combination, the forerunner of our Lord Jesus; and as the Lord had twelve apostles, bearing the number of the twelve months of the sun, so also he, John, had thirty chief men, fulfilling the monthly reckoning of the moon, in which number was a certain woman called Helena, that not even this might be without a dispensational significance. For a woman, being half a man, made up the imperfect number of the triacontad; as also in the case of the moon, whose revolution does not make the complete course of the month.
[Moon's phase (synodic) cycle repeats on average every 29.53 days, thus Helena was the 30th being a woman worth half of the value as a man by Jewish tradition.] [Tertullian Appendix: Triacontad of Aeons, which is made up in the Pleroma of an ogdoad, a decad, and a duodecad (8+10+12)=30)]

Flashback 2:
Salome's dance that be-heads John the Baptist - Waring's, Simon's, and Vitskaia's jewels

The scene goes out of focus and gets smaller in a swirling mass of particles as time travels backward.

It is Sept, AD 31. There the is a great hall with spectators which includes Antipas Herod, Herodias, and Salome, age 12, on thrones watching Simon Magus, age late 40's, perform a magic act. The spirit-like Simon Magus-Simon goes into him as he stands inside a circle of flame that is lit with saltpeter. The smoke fills the air and obscures him. When the smoke dies down, and they see him standing like a pillar very still, unscathed by the fire.

Simon Magus-Simon pretending to come to life, shouts, "I am Moses. I am the Standing One. I am the Pillar of Fire. I remain unharmed."

The audience claps and he walks out to a curtained area.

Simon Magus and Helena are talking to each other behind the curtain. The sounds of revelry are on the other side. The spirit-like Helena-Vitskaia enters into Helena. age 42.

Simon Magus-Simon says, "I have spoken to Antipas Herod and he had agreed to remove John the Baptist. Herodias has been pestering him to do it. Since it is his stepdaughter Salome's Bat Mitzvah, he will offer her any gift she wants in exchange for your dancing. He will pretend to be unable to refuse her request from her mother to remove John's headship."

Helena-Vitskaia says, "Yes it is an opportune time. Every since Herodias and Thomas Herod were divorced so that she could marry Herod Antipas, John the Baptist has been constantly reciting Jewish law about the prohibition against remarriage when the spouse is still alive. Thomas is a homosexual, so it is absurd."

Simon Magus-Simon says, "You may have been John's Luna, but it is time to distance yourself from him."

Helena-Vitskaia, "His predictions are failing and it is degrading to be the female in his group, representing one half a man added to twenty-nine men for the moon's cycle."

Simon Magus-Simon, "As the most beautiful dancer in the temple of Artemis, you will make the most beautiful queen."

Helena-Vitskaia goes inside and there is drumming and cheering. Simon stays outside. The guards have just brought up John the Baptist in chains from the prison to the alcove, but he is still wearing his religious crown. The spirit-like John_the_Baptist-Waring enters into John the Baptist, age 38.

John the Baptist's hymn:

Hymn 8: "I thank thee o Lord for thou hast fastened thine eye upon me.
Thou hast saved me from the zeal of lying interpreters, and from the congregation of those who seek smooth things.
Thou hast redeemed the soul of the poor-one whom they planned to destroy by spilling his blood because he served Thee."

John the Baptist's second hymn:

"but this horde of the prince of darkness, know not that my stand is maintained by the most high that in thy mercy thou wilt save my soul since my steps proceed from thee."

Vitskaia's dance:

(first twirl 'do' at the 12 o'clock position)
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

(second twirl 're')
blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of god.

(third twirl 'fa')
blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

(fourth twirl 'mi')
blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see god.

(fifth twirl 'ti')
"blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(sixth twirl 'sol')
blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filed.

(seventh twirl 'la')
blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

(eighth twirl 'do' at 12 o'clock)
"blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

John_the_Baptist-Waring begins to sing the hymn he wrote, found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Simon Magus-Simon interrupting him, "Sorry, esteemed brother, your prophecies have failed. The Restoration is yet to come on the Samaritan calendar. You should not have picked on Herod on this marriage thing."

John_the_Baptist-Waring finishes the hymn and says, "I smell the drinking crowd from here and surely foul play is afoot. I want no part of it. He starts singing another hymn.

His crown falls to the ground and a lavender amethyst rolls out. Simon Magus-Simon picks up the crown and the jewel.

Putting the crown back on John the Baptist' head, Simon Magus-Simon says, "You will need this for your debut." Then he puts the jewel in John's hands, saying "But most importantly do not lose this."

Simon Magus-Simon goes inside. The spectators are cheering as Helena-Vitskaia starts to dance to the music played by an oud and a flute. The dance moves from point to point on a circle of seven equal divisions clockwise starting at the 12 o'clock 'do', 're', 'mi', 'fa', 'sol', 'la', 'ti', and within each point on the circle she twirls around saying a phrase from the Beatitudes.

The crowd cheers wildly and when the cheers die down, Antipas Herod says, "This is the day of my daughter becoming a woman and I promised her what ever she wants if her teacher's dance pleases me. She has asked for the crown of John the Baptist."

He beckons for John the Baptist to be brought in. The guards bring in John_the_Baptist-Waring. Herod takes off his crown and places it on a pillow that the servant is holding. The servant hands it to Salome who passes it to Herodias and she passes it back to Herod. Herod beckons Simon_Magus-Simon to come forward and, as he knells, Herod crowns him. Simon_Magus-Simon rises to his feet and takes the hand of Helena-Vitskaia and they solemnly walk out of the hall.

Simon_Magus-Simon says, "We did it! Now we can open up John the Baptist's group to the Gentiles outside of Israel."

Helena-Vitskaia is giddy and laughing as she points to the crown on Simon's head, "It suits you Simon."

Simon_Magus-Simon takes it off to look at it and a honey gold citrine falls into his hand.

He points to the jewel in her navel, "You see I knew it would turn to a sapphire because my intuition told me that we would succeed and you would be my queen."

Helena-Vitskaia looks down and as she touches it, the sapphire drops into her hand.

Four thousand: the unmarried
Mark 8:9 And when they had eaten there were about four thousand.
Mark 8:19-21 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve." "And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven." And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?
Five thousand: the married
Mark 6:37-44 ... He said to them, 'How many loaves do you have? Go see.' When they knew, they said, 'Five, and two fish.' ... He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all ... And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

The Feeding of the Multitudes is an allegory for the two groups of married and unmarried men. Jesus is explaining that the 5,000 married Gentiles have seven leaders, one for each day of the week and the 4,000 unmarried have twelve leaders for each month.

The feeding of the five-thousand -
Llyr's and Isis' jewels

The scene goes out of focus and gets smaller in a swirling mass of particles as time travels backward.

It is September AD 32, at Ain Feshkha, 3 kilometers south of Qumran. Priscilla, age 27, is filling the water cups of the pilgrims outside. A spirit-like Priscilla-Isis enters into Priscilla.

The doors open up and John, age 33, and Jesus, age 38, appear. A spirit-like Llyr-John enters into John and into Jesus a spirit-like Jesus-Father_Stephanos.

Jesus-Father_Stephanos walks over to Priscilla-Isis saying, "The Word of God which comes from the mouth, I share with you also on this promotion of your husband John to presbyter." He kisses her on the lips. Priscilla-Isis touches her lips to reveal a red ruby.

Llyr-John walks over to Priscilla-Isis with a basket filled with crumbs.

Llyr-John, "We must distribute these crumbs as the sacrament of the Holy Spirit, when Jesus acts as the priest to the pilgrims."

Priscilla-Isis kisses Llyr-John on the lips, "I am truly proud of you. Your step-mother Helena predicted that you would one day sit on the right-side of Jesus."

Llyr-John, "Today I represent the five thousand married laity and if you look inside this basket you will see five-thousand crumbs."

Priscilla-Isis, "Five thousand crumbs! That would surely be a miracle."

Llyr-John. "It is the division of Diaspora Jews into a Pythagorean triangle of 3-4-5. The square-root of 3,000 squared and 4,000 squared is 5,000. I am the leader of the five thousand and my twin brother James represents the four thousand unmarried laity."

Priscilla-Isis, "That is because you broke the fifth loaf, right?"

Llyr-John, "And look into the basket, there are even some fishes for the Noah mission."

Priscilla-Isis looks in, "What is this?"

"That is not supposed to be there," said Llyr-John, picking up a green emerald and putting it into his pocket.

Song of Solomon: Mary Magdalene's song.

"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for love is better than wine. the king has brought me to his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine."

Jesus' song reply.

"Oh thou fairest among women, I have compared thee, oh my love to the priestly horses that will pull the chariot of the word to all peoples. thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold."

Mary Magdalene's song reply.

"While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the scent thereof. A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me: he shall lie all night between my breasts"

Josephus Wars of the Jews 2.8.13. Moreover, there is another order of Essenes, who agree with the rest as to their way of living, and customs, and laws, but differ from them in the point of marriage, as thinking that by not marrying they cut off the principal part of human life, which is the prospect of succession; nay, rather, that if all men should be of the same opinion, the whole race of mankind would fail. {Corrected translation: They give their wives a three years' trial, and after they have by three times being pure (tris katharthōsin) (three absences of menstruation, which is impurity in Jewish thought) given proof of fecundity (because they are pregnant), they marry.} But they do not accompany their wives when they are with child, as a demonstration that they do not have sex for pleasure, but for the sake of posterity. Now the women go into the baths with some of their garments on, as the men do with somewhat girded about them. And these are the customs of this order of Essenes.

Trial Marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene -
Khadija's jewel

The scene goes out of focus and gets smaller in a swirling mass of particles as time travels backward.

It is late November AD 32 in the evening at Ain Feshkha, 3 kilometers south of Qumran.

Jesus is seated at a table; Mary Magdalene at his feet. The spirit-like Jesus-Father_Stephanos enters into Jesus, age 38, and the spirit-like Mary_Magdalene-Khadija enters into Mary Magdalene, age 29, as she holds an alabaster jar anointing Jesus' feet with spikenard and wiping them with her veil and kissing them. The partly removed veil shows her shaved head. Jesus' head is also shaved with no beard. Simon Magus is seated across the table with Helena. A spirit-like Simon Magus-Simon, age late 40's, enters into Simon and a spirit-like Helena-Vitskaia into Helena, age 43.

Mary_Magdalene-Khadija is singing from The Song of Solomon Canticle 1 (On the left) as Jesus-Father_Stephanos sings back. Then Magdalene-Khadija replies, singing.

Simon Magus-Simon takes the hand of Mary_Magdalene-Khadija and of Jesus-Father_Stephanos and puts them together with his hand over theirs.

Simon Magus-Simon speaks, "Having been betrothed according to the laws of the community in June now that it is late November, your marriage can at last be consummated." Smiling he continues, "I charge you to sleep together until the Winter is gone and the Spring brings a new heir."

Helena-Vitskaia places her hands over their joined hands, saying "May the greatest joy of a child be formed in your belly so that after three months you can be permanently married."

Simon Magus-Simon, looking into Magdalene's eyes, "As Solomon says, 'remember the apple tree among the trees of wood, remember that its fruit is sweet to taste'", then smiling and whispering softly, "but do not waste it."

Helena-Vitskaia, then looking into Jesus' eyes "'Make her garden breathe out fragrance, do not forget to eat her pleasant fruits'", then smiling and whispering softly, "to line the pathway to conception."

Simon Magus-Simon speaks, "There, that is enough ritual and advice. Make haste to the bridal chamber of the David Kings."

As Helena-Vitskaia takes her hands away, Mary_Magdalene-Khadija discovers a pale brown garnet in her hand that she puts in her pocket.

John 20:3,4: Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, both of them running. They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

Gospel of Peter 35-37: And in the night in which the Lord's day was drawing on, as the soldiers kept guard two by two in a watch, there was a great voice in the heaven; and they saw the heavens opened, and two men descend from thence with great light and approach the tomb. And that stone which was put at the door rolled of itself and made way in part ; and the tomb was opened, and both the young men entered in.

Gospel of Peter 38-42: When therefore those soldiers saw it, they awakened the centurion and the elders, for they too were hard by keeping guard; and, as they declared what things they had seen, again they see three men coming forth from the tomb, and two of them supporting one, and a cross following them. And of the two the head reached unto the heaven, but the head of him that was led by them overpassed the heavens. And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying 'Hast thou preached to them that sleep?' And a response was heard from the cross, 'Yea.'

Peter and John Mark go into the tomb of Jesus

Flashback 5:
Peter and John Mark rescue Jesus -
Athruis' and Marshall's jewels

The scene goes out of focus and gets smaller in a swirling mass of particles as time travels backward.

It is Saturday, March 21 33AD. The Location is outside the entrance of Qumran and at the Caves 7Q and 8Q at the end of the esplanade. It is around 1 AM after Good Friday.

A spirit-like Mary_Magdalene-Khadija enters into Mary Magdalene as she leans over to Peter who is sleeping next to John Mark on the ground outside the entrance to Qumran.

Mary_Magdalene-Khadija speaks agitatedly, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him!"

Both disciples jump up. The spirit-like Peter-Athruis enters into Peter and the spirit-like Marshall-John_Mark enters into John Mark (Bartholomew, the disciple whom Jesus loved).

Peter-Athruis exclaims, "The guards must have found out that he was alive and taken him away!"

Marshall-John_Mark shouts, "We better get up there right now!"

Both disciples start running up to the cave-tombs and, running but much slower is Mary_Magdalene-Khadija as she is three months pregnant with Jesus' child.

The two run together, John Mark in the lead. As John Mark gets to the cave he stoops down to look into the cave.

Marshall-John_Mark, "I see the linen cloths that I wrapped him in earlier this evening."

Peter-Athruis, "I am going in." Marshall-John_Mark follows.

They see Theudas asleep on the floor and wake him.

Marshall-John_Mark, "Magdalene says that Jesus is gone."

Theudas answers, "He is here and recovering just fine. I set the broken legs of Simon Magus in the other tomb a few hours ago and was trying to get some rest. With the money hidden in this cave, I paid off the guards to say that an earthquake had moved the stone."

Peter-Athruis, "That would not be a lie since your nickname is Earthquake!"

Jesus-Father_Stephanos calls from the cave below, "Is that Peter and John? Help me out of this latrine cave."

Cave 8: the tomb of Jesus

Luke 16:19-28 "There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' And he said, 'Then I beg you, Father, to send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'"

---

This shows that there is a chasm between these caves with hell beneath (hell being the a metaphor for the fires in garbage dump of Gehenna in Jerusalem). It contains a pun for the Sadducee chief priest Ananus and his five sons: Eleazar, Jonathan, Theophilus, Matthias. and Ananus implying that they are going to hell. The importance of this parable is to show that this cave, the high priest's cave is Cave 4 with Abraham and Lazarus and that of the rich man (James the keeper of the hidden money is across from it in Cave 8 which is also a latrine). Jesus would be buried in Cave 8.

Outside Mary_Magdalene-Khadija stops and looks into the adjacent cave, thinking that it was Jesus' tomb. She sees two men sitting at the sides of the wall, one dressed a priestly robe of an Essene angel, but it seemed that the place where Jesus had been laid was empty. She begins to cry.

The voice of Simon Magus, one of the angel-priests in the cave, says, "Woman, why do you weep?"

Mary_Magdalene-Khadija, "Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him."

As she was talking, Peter-Athruis and Marshall-John_Mark had helped Jesus up out of his cave and he was standing behind Magdalene.

The voice from the cave says, "But he is right behind you."

Mary_Magdalene-Khadija turns and in the darkness sees a shadowy figure. "James, are you still doing your rounds in this Garden of Eden?"

A spirit-like Jesus-Father_Stephanos enters into Jesus and he says, "Mary"

Mary_Magdalene-Khadija, recognizing Jesus, "My Teacher, my Master, excuse my foolishness."

She starts to embrace Jesus-Father_Stephanos, but he says, "Remember we are not allowed to touch each other. I am supposed to enter the monastery and be separated from you during your pregnancy."

Mary_Magdalene-Khadija starts to cry, "Oh dear husband, you are right, but I love you so much. I thought you were dead and now you are alive! My child will have a father again!"

Jesus-Father_Stephanos, "I love you, too. Forgive me for causing you so much distress and now for trying to adhere to the Essene directives. It was just my way of coping with this ordeal and to take my mind off the pain. Sometimes exceptions are justified." He hugs Magdalene and they kiss on the lips.

Peter-Athruis and Marshall-John_Mark supporting Jesus between them, start on the trail away from the caves back to Qumran.

They stop for a moment and Marshall-John_Mark offers Jesus some water from the water bag he was carrying, saying "Here have a taste." Jesus takes a sip.

As Marshall-John_Mark wipes Jesus' lips he finds a blue lapis-lazuli

Peter-Athruis says, "I think I hear angels singing, 'Hallelujah.'" As he cups his ear, he finds a blood-red jasper.

Tiber Island where Jesus died
in June 72 AD at the age of 78

Flashback 6:
Jesus age 78 near death with Jesus Justus, Phoebe, Bernice, and Paulina -
Dodgson's, Sheba's, Yashodra's, and Atira's jewels

It is 72 AD. Jesus and Jesus Justus are leaning over the Janus bridge over the Tiber River in Rome looking at the water. Jesus is 78 and Jesus Justus is 35. Jesus is looking very old and tired for he will die within the month.

A spirit-like Jesus_Justus-Dodgson merges into Jesus Justus. Then a spirit-like Jesus-Father_Stephanos merges into Jesus.

Jesus-Father_Stephanos says to Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, "My son and crowned prince, I was so proud of you at the preliminary marriage ceremony last week with your betrothed from the House of David by your side. It is already June 72 AD and next year you will to be married at 36. God has blessed me with a long life, but I fear that I will not live long enough to see your wedding. My hands have been throbbing lately from the scars of the nails and I have been woken in my sleep by the remembrance of the excruciating pain on the cross."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson says, "Let me see your hands."

Jesus-Father_Stephanos holds out his hands for Jesus_Justus-Dodgson to see. Jesus_Justus-Dodgson touches the scars of the nail holes and discovers a small sea green aquamarine and holds it up.

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson exclaims, "There you see, Jesus, my father, your hands are like precious jewels. It is with these hands, though you could not write, that you have composed the gospels of John and Luke and created a new religion by writing in pesher on two levels: the surface and the hidden. And Peter's gospel of Mark and Matthew's gospel have spread the good news of your resurrection throughout the Roman Empire."

Jesus-Father_Stephanos says, "I still cannot help blaming myself for Mary Magdalene's divorce and betraying Simon Magus by taking Paul's advice and aligning with Herod Agrippa's son. I understand that she had to go with Simon and Helena after Simon's Samaritans were blamed for poisoning Herod Agrippa with the two parties splitting in 45 AD. Most of all I am guilty of living the lie of my Resurrection."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, "Do not blame yourself. Who is it that would have had the strength to accept the mission given to you in the Garden of Gethsemane by Father Jonathan of replacing Theudas-Barabbas' on the cross?" "By taking the poison cup at the preset time and appearing to be dead, you fulfilled your task perfectly to rescue your friend and superior, Simon Magus from death on the cross. After Simon's shrewd mind invented the phrase: 'He has risen!', the growth of the Christian Church was assured. It was an evangelist's dream."

Acts 6:7 The word of God (Jesus Justus) increased ...
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture sprinkled in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

---

Here is shown Jesus Justus (born in June 37 AD, as the pesher Acts 6:7 records with its phrase "the Word of God increased", married in Rev 19:11) now having taken over for his father Jesus after his death.

Acts 16:14,15 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshipped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
When she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, 'If in your judgment I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.' And she made us go there.

1Corinthians 7:10-15 To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband) -- and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

---

Being a seller of purple, Lydia was a bishop dressed in purple and since she sold memberships, she was of the Church of Simon Magus that was later Jesus' fourth Church in Thyatira.
Paul justifies Jesus' remarriage, but does not personally approve.

Jesus-Father_Stephanos, "Yes, it was a wonderful concept for the pesher that I worked out with Simon Magus. On one level I was saying that I rose from the dead and on another that I rose in level by reentering the monastery, since I had been outside during the four years of my ministry for the purpose of my marriage to Mary Magdalene."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, "And fortunate it was for me that you continued the rules of a dynast and returned from celibacy to the world again three years after Phoebe's birth in order to conceive me. You then waited six years to conceive my younger brother. Then another six to conceive my half-sister with Lydia."

A smile comes to Jesus' aged face as he says, "I still remember with fondness how your mother, Mary Magdalene, pregnant with Phoebe, mistook me for my brother James. She could not believe that I could be standing, when I was so close to death just hours before."

Jesus-Father_Stephanos with tears in his eyes, "I really miss Mary Magdalene. When she went with Philip to Hierapolis in Turkey, I never thought I would not see her again. A legend has already been heard that she told others the truth about the Crucifixion, but no one believed it."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, "I miss mother, too. But at age 78, you have certainly outlived her. I pray that I will live as long as you so that I can witness the new millennium of 100 AD. My son, if I am blessed to have one first, would then be 23 at the age of initiation in that year."

Jesus-Father_Stephanos, "As much as I would like to be there at the Restoration, I will be glad not to have to explain another failed prophecy. The last one brought the fall of Jerusalem in July, just two years ago. The Zealots brought it upon themselves and even mistrusted each other. King Agrippa II of Judea and his sister, Bernice, were unable to dissuade them. This all could have been prevented if the Zealots had listened to Paul's ally the last Sadducee High Priest Ananus Annas, whom he called Demas, to stop using the sacred Temple as a fort. Instead they trapped him in the outer temple and cruelly murdered him."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, "I admire Queen Bernice who is still leading the Zealot faction. She is much more powerful than her weak brother Herod Agrippa II. She has been using the feminine wiles of Cleopatra on Titus, the son of the Emperor of Rome. If she succeeds she will win back all of Jerusalem."

Jesus-Father_Stephanos places his arms on the shoulders of Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, gazing into his eyes, "I beg you do not trust her. When I die you will be the new David king of the faithful. Others will try to keep you as merely a figurehead, but you must not be afraid to lead. I hope that you will follow my path as the 'Sower in the Vineyard' advocating peace like your great grandfather Jacob-Heli and not as the Fig Tree of the Zealots like your grandfather, Joseph."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, "Father, I could never be able live up to your expectations. When I saw you last year on New Year's Day 71 AD at the cathedral, I saw how you successfully won the argument for peace with the militant faction."

Jesus-Father_Stephanos, "Yes, but that role has become too tiring and I had to retire from office. Now I must rely on you to advocate for peace. I only have the energy for events like the Christmas Eve last year with you and your sister Phoebe and her daughter Paulina and her sister, and your younger brother Joseph."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson, "Father, I will consider what you have said. I fear that this talk has tired you. Let us walk back to the home of Antipas III so that your daughter, Phoebe, can prepare you a hot drink. The Herod Queen, Bernice, was going to stop by from her house on the west side of the Tiber River. I am forbidden to be near her, but I will walk you just to the door."

Jesus_Justus-Dodgson takes Jesus-Father_Stephanos hand and they walk back across the bridge to Tiber Island. Jesus-Father_Stephanos is using a cane to walk. Jesus_Justus-Dodgson leaves him at the door.

Jesus-Father_Stephanos knocks on the door of Antipas III house that is being used as a Church for nuns. His daughter Phoebe aged 38 answers the door. A spirit-like Phoebe-Sheba enters into Phoebe.

Phoebe-Sheba says, "Come in to the sitting room father."

Phoebe helps Jesus to sit down on the chair in the sitting room with pillows behind his back.

Phoebe-Sheba, "Shall I make you some herb tea? These herbs were brought back by your youngest son, Joseph of Arimathea, from the Celts of Britain? Did you enjoy your walk with my brother Jesus Justus?"

Jesus-Father_Stephanos, "Thank you, my dear daughter Phoebe. That would be wonderful, I was just talking about how much I missed your mother Mary Magdalene. There are so many that I miss. I wish that your husband, Paul, were here with us."

Phoebe goes out to the kitchen and Jesus begins to nod off.

Bernice, age 44, is putting on the kettle and Phoebe-Sheba is helping her with the cups. The spirit-like Bernice-Yashodra enters into Bernice.

Phoebe-Sheba is sobbing as she speaks, "Oh Bernice, I wish father would not mention my late husband Paul. I do still miss him so much. I need his strength now that my father's health is beginning to fail. I get so angry when I am reminded that he was executed for killing Jonathan Annas and he had taken no part in it."

Phoebe-Sheba forehead becomes tensed and as she reaches up she finds a misty white moonstone and she kisses it.

Bernice-Yashodra, "Jesus does look quite tired, but fortunately his mind is still sharp. Your father is the last of the great generation who have joined the Jewish ways with the ways of the Essenes. He has had such a calming influence in all of our personal and political struggles."

Phoebe-Sheba, changing the subject, says "I think it was so unfair for the Church to name you as the Great Harlot in the Book of Revelation. Women have a right to be dressed in purple and scarlet as queen and cardinal in the same manner as men."

Bernice-Yashodra, "Those jealous priests have blocked me every time from marrying Titus. It is true that I have built a reputation for using sex to gain power, but Titus and I do love each other. Agrippa II, my dear weak twin brother, got nervous of my power and is trying to block me from becoming the wife of this future emperor of Rome. I am still hoping that Titus will ignore everyone and marry me so that I can rebuild Jerusalem. He did not mean for it to burn down. He is loved by the Romans for defeating the Zealots at Jerusalem. I am sure that they will accept what he desires."

Phoebe-Sheba, "Being the Herod queen has been a difficult path for you in your early years having to be part of the incestuous marriages of the Herods. It is always like men to treat women as if they are only worth half a man. You must keep fighting for the rights of women, as my father did and also as your mother superior, Helena, did or else the Church will be ruled by men alone."

Bernice-Yashodra, "Thank you for your encouraging and consoling words. You are like your father that way, always being able to put yourself in another's place and forgive them their debts. I do not have that possibility since the Zealots still think of me as their queen and are hopeful that their fight can be won by 100 AD. I pray that I may live long enough to see that day come."

Phoebe-Sheba, "Jesus likes being in the middle of the action so I have had to stay here instead of at the Herod estate near Lyons in the south of France with my two daughters."

Bernice-Yashodra, "Perhaps you should stay here because, when I marry Titus, you could live in the palace. Simon and Helena my teachers will be so proud of me then."

Jesus-Father_Stephanos shouts from the other room, "Granddaughter Paulina is here. You must read the first pages of the book she is writing about the true story of my Resurrection."

Phoebe-Sheba rushes out to the sitting room.

Bernice-Yashodra, picks up the tray, almost drops it and then rights it again. On the tray is a bluish opal. She picks it up and puts it in her pocket.

Paulina (Pudenziana) and St. Paul

In the sitting room Jesus is looking at some pages of a book and Paulina is next to him. A spirit-like Paulina-Atira enters into Paulina, age 18.

Phoebe-Sheba is hugging Paulina, "Daughter, I was worried about you. You were gone a long time."

Paulina-Atira, still out of breath from running home, says, "I went to collect some water from the springs at Aquae Salviae, where father was beheaded. Look what I found in the water."

Paulina-Atira shows Phoebe-Sheba a light green peridot.

Phoebe-Sheba, "This jewel must be a message from Paul that you were always his jewel."

This flashback ends and the scene goes out of focus and gets smaller in a swirling mass of particles as time travels backward.

Revelation 14:6,7 (54 AD) And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Revelation 14:8 (55 AD) And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Revelation 14:9-11 (56 AD) And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Revelation 14:12-14 (57 AD) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

Revelation 14:15,16 (58 AD) And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

Revelation 14:17 (59 AD) And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

Revelation 14:18,19 (60 AD) And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

Revelation 14:20 (61 AD) And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred stadia.

Revelation 15:1-8 (63 AD) And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

A Second Returned

All of the students and Father Stephanos start to appear in the catacombs below the church.

Father Stephanos looking around the room and counting. "Thirteen. I see we are all here. So now do you all have jewels. Let me have them so I can get this watch fixed."

Father Stephanos starts putting the jewels inside the pocket watch as the students look on in anticipation.

Father Stephanos, "There it is."

Father Stephanos starts twisting the crown at the top of the pocket watch.

Father Stephanos pulls up the crown at the top of the pocket watch, "Now one second back and pushing it down."

There is the sound of a small click and then a rushing wind.

The Cardinal rushes in, saying, "I don't know how it happened, but it seems that you have reversed the fabric of time. Even His Holiness has woken from his coma."

All, cheering, "The Second Coming!"

They get up and embrace each other. They walk out of the catacombs into the light.

Gwendolyn says "Now more than ever we must bring stability to the Earth Mother. We were lucky this time, but it must never happen again. We must proceed with the preparations for our final ceremony in Qumran."

"And so, in consequence of the fact that for this new system of functioning of the forces which until then maintained the existence of the Most Most Holy Sun Absolute, there were required outside of the Sun Absolute corresponding sources in which such forces could arise and from which they could flow into the presence of the Most Most Holy Sun Absolute, our ALMIGHTY ENDLESSNESS was just then compelled to create our now existing Megalocosmos with all the cosmoses of different scales and relatively independent cosmic formations present in it, and from then on the system which maintained the existence of the Sun Absolute began to be called Trogoautoegocrat. "Our COMMON FATHER OMNI-BEING ENDLESSNESS, having decided to change the principle of the maintenance of the existence of this then still unique cosmic concentration and sole place of HIS most glorious Being, first of all altered the process itself of the functioning of these two primordial fundamental sacred laws, and HE actualized the greater change in the law of the sacred Heptaparaparshinokh. "These changes in the functioning of the sacred Heptaparaparshinokh consisted in this, that in three of its Stopinders HE altered the what are called 'subjective actions' which had been until then in the Stopinders, in this respect, that in one HE lengthened the law-conformable successiveness; shortened it in another; and in a third, disharmonized it.

Chapter 13
The Seven Churches

It is November and Gwendolyn gathered the six sisters and brothers together saying to them, "In order to build our energies for that important day December 21, I have assigned one of the Seven Churches of Revelation to each of you sisters in reverse order as they are listed from highest to lowest yet our order is ascending to the Law of Seven. These letters were composed by Jesus in 49 AD. Although these churches are long gone, it is important for you to take in any of their residual vibrations.

So as to increase our mental levels, I have assigned you the task of studying the Food Octave that was presented by Gurdjieff in his Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson: Chapter 39 The Holy Planet Purgatory." Please see if you agree with my addition of a missing vibration center at position six that Athruis has called 'Hormoneary' and the reordering of the cerebellum and the cerebrum.

Each sister may bring a brother, but I think we should all honor Jesus' celibate Nazarite rule. Unfortunately Yashodra, you, like eunuch John Mark, will have to be on your own. I hope that is all right?"

Yashodra, "Perhaps no traditional temptations, but still there are females! After all, we are not eunuchs." They all laugh.

"Behave yourselves!" Gwendolyn scolds. "After visiting the churches, we will meet up at Qumran near the Queen's House where Jesus was born."

"Many are planning to go to the traditional place for Armageddon at approximately 40 km west-southwest of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee, but this is not the correct place. Since Qumran, the mirror image of Jerusalem, is where Jesus taught, there must be a mirrored Sea of Galilee nearby and this would be at Mazin on the Dead Sea, thus Armageddon is at Qumran, probably near the cemetery section."

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:21 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.
Revelation 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:

'do' (1) Protoehary (Ouspensky: H 768 lower (stomach-spine) story):
"And if now, my boy, you satisfactorily grasp the succession of the process of transformation of cosmic substances by means of beings-apparatuses, into which these cosmic substances enter as first being-food, then at the same time you will approximately understand everything concerning the chief particularity of the sacred law of Heptaparaparshinokh as well as the processes of evolution and involution of the other higher being-foods. "When these evolving active elements, in their returning ascent from the last Stopinder of the fundamental common-cosmic Sacred Heptaparaparshinokh, enter into the common presences of being-apparatuses as their first being-food, they begin already from the mouth itself - with the help of the processes of the second-grade law Harnelmiatznel, that is, owing to mixture and fusion according to the 'affinity of vibrations,' with the active elements which have already evolved in the presences of the beings and have acquired vibrations corresponding to the subsequent Stopinders of the being-Heptaparaparshinokh - to be gradually changed, and are transmuted this time in the stomach of the beings into definite active elements named 'being-Protoehary,' which correspond in their vibrations to the ascending fourth Stopinder of the fundamental common-cosmic Heptaparaparshinokh.

The First Sister:
Vitskaia and Simon at Laodicea

In their studies on Jesus' letters to the Churches, Vitskaia and Simon learned that this seventh letter to the Church at Laodicea, was to Nicolaus-Blastus. This Church had been Nicolaus-Blastus' reward for poisoning Herod Agrippa under the instructions of Simon Magus. He had easy access to Agrippa as his eunuch. Jesus accused him of stealing Church funds, but showed him sympathy because of the ambiguity of his classification under Jewish law, which is obsessed with 'maleness'. Jesus suggested that if he follow the standards of James Niceta of Asher and John Mark of Dan that he would be better off than following Jewish law that would not allow him in a temple.

Laodicea is located north of Colossae, both are addressed in Paul's epistle to the Colossians. As Vitskaia and Simon stood in the ruins, they visualized the image of Jesus standing at the door and knocking, ready to accept them if they were willingly to answer. The next day they visited Hierapolis located just north. Here was located the monastery under Philip where Mary Magdalene was mother superior after divorcing Jesus and where she died prior to 58 AD. Philip's grave has recently been located next to the St. Philip Martyrium, which stands on top of the hill outside the northeastern section of the city walls. The connection of Philip and Mary Magdalene comes from the following passages with Magdalene being daughter at level four and Justus being the title of Jesus:

Acts 21:8-9 And on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist -- who is of the seven -- we remained with him, Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.
Eusebius, Fragments Of Papias, Church History 39:8-9 'It is worth while however to add to the words of Papias given above other passages from him, in which he records some other wonderful events likewise, as having come down to him by tradition. That Philip the Apostle resided in Hierapolis with his daughters has been already stated; but how Papias, their contemporary, relates that he had heard a marvellous tale from the daughters of Philip, must be noted here. For he relates that in his time a man rose from the dead, and again he gives another wonderful story about Justus who was surnamed Barsabas, how that he drank a deadly poison, and yet, by the grace of the Lord, suffered no inconvenience.'

Being the lesser of the Churches mentioned, Laodicea represented the beginning of possibilities for spiritual growth and, according to the Law of Seven, would be equivalent to the Food Octave where physical food enters from the mouth into the stomach at position 'do'. This physical food was available due to a previous cycle, one octave lower, which pertains to the synthesis of nutrients in crops with the help of the sun that are capable of sustaining human life. From this food, human beings have the possibility not only of being able to grow and procreate, but also to build two other bodies within, namely first an Astral body (Kesdjanian) namely a Spirit and then a Soul. These two bodies are built from two higher cycles also conformable to the Law of Seven.

Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Revelation 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:

're' (2) Defteroehary (Ouspensky: H 384 lower (stomach-spine) story):
"From there, this totality which has the 'gravity-center vibration' of being-Protoehary, passing—thanks again only to the process Harnelmiatznel—over the whole of what is called the 'intestinal tract' and gradually evolving, completedly acquires in consequence corresponding vibrations, and is this time completely transmuted in what is called the 'duodenum' into 'being-Defteroehary.'

The Second Sister:
Sheba and Waring at Philadelphia

In their studies on Jesus' letters to the Churches, Sheba and Waring learned that this sixth letter to the Church at Philadelphia was to James (having the key of David referring to his role as Gardener at the Resurrection) and Jude. These two brothers of Jesus were not true Christians. They were choosing to retain some Jewish customs, but were allowed to share the role of deacon. James, once claimed the role of crown prince being his younger brother, but now Jesus' son Jesus Justus, having come of age, is crown prince. James has promised to respect this lesser role in order to be part of the New Jerusalem in Ephesus. The Synagogue of Satan was the Damascus mission of Simon Magus and was no longer to be followed.

Sheba and Waring were staying in Alasehir, Turkey, which was built around the ruins of the ancient town of Philadelphia which stood at an important junction of the imperial post road that ran from Rome through Troas, Pergamum, and Sardis on through to Tarsus and the East. With Philadelphia meaning 'loving brother', Sheba and Waring were reminded of Jesus saying to Peter three times whether he loved him in the last chapter of the Gospel of John. Jesus used the word agape-love in the first and second question because the manifestation of agape-love would be to care for the initiates and the congregation. Peter, knowing that the honor of being made the head of the Church to the Diaspora and thus of the abbeys, had made him personally grateful and proud, carefully used the word philo-love because this would be the manifestation of personal love to Jesus. Peter's grief was because Jesus had phrased this anointing of Peter as three questions. He knew that Jesus was also reprimanding him for denying him thrice at the Crucifixion. On the third question Jesus finally used the word philo-love to show that he, too, had affection for Peter and forgave him.

As Sheba and Waring stared up at the massive pillars of the temple they felt dizzy. They were reminded that Jesus had said in his letter that "To him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God." Their survival after so many earthquakes is due to foundations that were laid on beds of charcoal covered with wool fleeces, which caused the structure to float on the soil like a raft.

Being the second vibration state 're' of the Food Octave, the food from the stomach passes to the duodenum and is further digested.

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars;

I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:
mi' (3) Tritoehary (Ouspensky: H 192 middle (chest) story)
"Further, a part of these definite substances of 'being- Defteroehary' go to serve the planetary body itself and also the local Harnelmiatznel in respect of the newly entering food, but the other part, also by means of a process of Harnelmiatznel of local character, continues its independent evolution and is ultimately transmuted in beings into the still higher definite substances which are called, this time, 'being-Tritoehary.' "And this totality of cosmic substances, temporarily crystallized in the common presences of 'beings-apparatuses which correspond in their vibrations to 'being-Tritoehary,' have as the gravity-center place of their concentration in the presences of beings the, what is called, 'liver.'
"With the purpose of providing the 'requisite inherency' for receiving, for its functioning, the automatic affluence of all forces which were near, HE lengthened the Stopinder between its third and fourth deflections. "This same Stopinder of the sacred Heptaparaparshinokh is just that one, which is still called the 'mechano-coinciding- Mdnel-In.' "It is just in this place of the being-Ansanbaluiazar that the lower 'Mdnel-In' of the Sacred Heptaparaparshinokh is located, called the 'mechano-coinciding-Mdnel-In,' and therefore the substances of the being-Tritoehary cannot, only owing to the process 'Harnelmiatznel,' independently evolve further. "For this help coming from outside, Great Nature in the given case most wisely adapted the inner organization of beings in such a manner that the substances which had to enter into the common presences of beings for the coating and feeding of their second being-bodies Kesdjan, namely, that totality of cosmic substances which your favorites call air, might at the same time serve as just such a help coming from outside for the evolution of the substances of the first being-food. "The active elements which compose this second being-food or air, and which enter into the presences of beings also for evolution through this second being-food, beginning from the nose of beings, gradually evolve with the co-operation of various processes of Harnelmiatznel of local character, and are also transmuted this time in the what are called 'lungs' of beings into Protoehary, but into Protoehary called 'Astralnomonian-Protoehary.'

The Third Sister:
Khadija and Marshall at Sardis

In their studies on Jesus' letters to the Churches, Khadija and Marshall learned that this fifth letter to the Church at Sardis, was to reinstate his younger brother Simon-Silas, 27 years old, who apparently has been reduced in rank because of his association with Paul from 46-48 AD. Paul, like Jesus, had rejected the strict rules of the Essenes in favor of the principle that God's grace can remove all sin. Jesus asserts his authority from Matthew Annas (7 Spirits) acting as Pope and the fact that his son Jesus Justus now 12 is the crown prince (7 Stars), not James, his brother. He threatens to reprimand them in person if they do not reinstate Simon-Silas.

Khadija and Marshall were staying in the valley of the Hermus River (modern Gediz) in a guest cottage. Although Turkey has a relaxed its strict Islamic dress codes, Marshall and Khadija took a big chance by skinny-dipping in the river. They could not resist when they heard that the river was once filled with gold because King Midas had washed his hands in its water to remove his golden touch. In fact the legend of the Golden Fleece comes from laying a fleece in the river to collect flakes of gold. They also visited the remains of the temple of Artemis and synagogue.

Being the third vibration state 'mi' of the Food Octave, the digestion process is finally complete and the nutrients are synthesized and transferred to the blood by means of the liver. At this point, there is a discontinuity, as indicted by the absence of a black key on the piano between E and F. Without the help of a higher vibrational octave, that of air in the lungs, it would be impossible for the nutrients to be converted to higher energies to power the brain. Thus Great Nature has provided an automatic process for physical existence, but it also begins a starting vibrational 'do' for the next higher octave which can become the Astral (Kesdjanian) Spirit body within.

Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelation 2:21 I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Revelation 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Revelation 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Revelation 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Revelation 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:
"And then the substances of this 'Astralnomonian- Protoehary,' entering into the presences of beings for their own evolution and having still in themselves, according to the Sacred Heptaparaparshinokh, all the possibilities of evolving from their centers of gravity by the process of Harnelmiatznel alone, mix with the totality of substances of the first being-food which have already evolved up to the third Stopinder of the Sacred being-Heptaparaparshinokh, and further evolve together, and thus help these substances of the first being-food to pass through the lower 'mechano-coinciding-Mdnel-In' and to be transmuted into other definite substances, into 'being-Tetartoehary,' and the Astralnomonian-Protoehary' itself is transmuted into the substances named 'Astralnomonian-Defteroehary.' 'fa' (4) Tetartoehary (Ouspensky: H 96 middle (chest) story)
"Now we shall continue to investigate just how, according to the Sacred Heptaparaparshinokh, the further completing process of the transformation of the substances of their first being-food proceeds in the presences of 'beings-apparatuses.' "And so ... the ordinary first being-food is thus gradually transmuted in beings into definite substances called 'being-Tetartoehary,' which have in beings, just as of course in your favorites, as the central place of their concentration both of what are called the 'cerebellum,' which in beings is also located in the head. (Swapped from (5) because Ouspensky has it in the middle (chest) story and cerebrum must be higher than cerebellum.)

The Fourth Sister:
Isis and Dodgson at Thyatira

In their studies on Jesus' letters to the Churches, Isis and Dodgson learned that this fourth letter to the Church at Thyatira, was to Clement, the younger brother of James and John and the one who would be Pope after Peter. Lydia, the soon to be the second wife of Jesus, belonged to the convent there. The meaning of 'seller of purple' (Acts 16:12-15) is that Lydia was the female virgin bishop of Thyatira and the word 'seller' indicates that she is of the Church of Simon and Bernice (the successor to his consort Helena) as they were accused of selling memberships (Acts 5 1-10). Clement can be found in Paul's epistle to the Philippians (4:3) where Paul instructs his wife Phoebe (his true yoke fellow) to arrange for Clement and Lydia to come to the Church in Philippi where Jesus will marry Lydia in March 50 AD next year.

Isis and Dodgson had visited a place near the ruins of Thyatira in the town of Akhisar where cloth was dyed with a purple-red dye called 'Turkey Red', made from the madder root. It was an interesting parallel to Lydia's purple vestments.

Jesus's attack on Bernice is an effort on Jesus' part to protect Lydia from her influence. Calling himself the 'Son of God' (second to Matthew as High Priest), Jesus empathizes his superiority to Bernice who acquired the position of Sapphire (second to the High Priest) from Helena (Sapphira in Acts 5). Her control over Lydia is similar to Judas (Satan 7)'s control over Mary Magdalene that was removed when Jesus married her (Luke 8:2). Although Bernice practices periods of celibacy in the Nazarite discipline as Jesus does, at other times she is very willing to use sex as a method to gain converts. Jesus' phrase of 'killing her children' is just to excommunicate those who recognize her as Mother Superior.

Being the fourth vibration state 'fa' of the Food Octave, it represents the cerebellum (swapped with cerebrum as it is clearly higher).

As discussed earlier this also represents the beginning of a second being body: the Astral (Kesdjanian) body. Such a Spirit body being of higher vibration requires extraordinary effort to proceed further. This effort is best described in the Golden Rule: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you', but it is more than that. It is working through the struggle to remain centered and impartial to ones thoughts, actions, and emotions while acting according to God's law. Its action could actually be considered to be centered in the heart rather than the cerebellum, in the sense that it located midway in the body and thus is the equilibrium of the mind, heart, and body.

Revelation 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Revelation 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Revelation 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
Revelation 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

'sol' (5) Piandjoehary (Ouspensky: H 48 top (head) story)
"Further, a part of this being-Tetartoehary from both hemispheres of their head-brain goes unchanged to serve the planetary body of the given being, but the other part having in itself all the possibilities for independent evolution, continues to evolve without any help coming from outside; and mixing again by means of the process Harnelmiatznel with previously formed higher substances already present in the beings, it is gradually transmuted into still higher definite being-active-elements called 'Piandjoehary.' "And these substances have as the central place of their concentration in beings the, what is called, 'Sianoorinam' or, as your favorites call this part of their planetary body, the 'hemispheres of their head-brain:' 'cerebrum.' (Swapped from (4) confirmed by Ouspensky having it in the top (head) story.

The Fifth Sister:
Atira and Llyr at Pergamos

In their studies on Jesus' letters to the Churches, Atira and Llyr learned that this third letter to the Church at Pergamon, was objecting to Atomus the Magus for allowing Bernice to marry the pagan Polemo (Balac) and for supporting Nicolas-Blastus, who was the one who poisoned Herod Agrippa I for Simon Magus (Balaam). The 'stumbling block' was that of circumcision which Polemo accepted, but the fact still remained that Bernice has been accused of having incestuous relations with her brother Agrippa II, who never married and used this pagan marriage to cover it up.

He suggests that the faithful accept the leadership of Antipas Herod II, whose father was the Herod prior to the Crucifixion and had been exiled to Lugdunum Convenarum in France by Caligula and Agrippa I. Antipas Herod II would later help Phoebe escape from Rome after Paul's death.

Atira and Llyr enjoyed walking through the ruins of Pergamon's library on the Acropolis, which was the second biggest library in the ancient Greek civilization. They were sure that Paul would have come here to study while he was serving as abbot of the Ephesus Church if Antony had not given Cleopatra all the volumes as a wedding present. They also visited the ruins of a healing center at Asclepiem.

Being the fifth vibration state 'sol' of the Food Octave, it represents the cerebrum (swapped with cerebellum as it is clearly lower). Although the passage from the fifth vibration to the sixth will happen by itself, there is an influence caused by the shortening of the vibration between seventh vibration 'ti' and the higher 'do' (missing black key from 'B' to 'C') that needs to be taken into account in the growth of ones two higher being bodies: Astral body (Kesdjanian or Spirit) and Soul. This is covered in the discussion of the next vibration.

Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:
"As regards the third Stopinder, then changed in its 'subjective action' and which is fifth in the general successiveness and is called 'Harnel-Aoot,' its disharmony flowed by itself from the change of the two aforementioned Stopinders. "This disharmony in its subjective functioning, flowing from its asymmetry so to say in relation to the whole entire completing process of the sacred Heptaparaparshinokh, consists in the following: "If the completing process of this sacred law flows in conditions, where during its process there are many 'extraneously- caused-vibrations,' then all its functioning gives only external results. "But if this same process proceeds in absolute quiet then all the results of the action of its functioning remain within that concentration. "And if however during its functioning there are neither of these two sharply opposite conditions, then the results of the action of its process usually divide themselves into the external and the internal. and in order to transform completedly into new higher substances and in order to acquire vibrations corresponding to the vibrations of the next higher vivifyingness, namely, corresponding to the fifth Stopinder of the fundamental process of the common-cosmic Sacred Heptaparaparshinokh, it inevitably requires just that foreign help which is actualized only in the presences of the three-brained beings exclusively owing to those factors mentioned by me more than once and which are manifested in the 'being-Partkdolg-duty,' that is, owing to just those factors which our COMMON FATHER CREATOR ENDLESSNESS consented to foreordain to be the means by which certain of the Tetartocosmoses—as a final result of their serving the purposes of the common-cosmic Iraniranumange— might become helpers in the ruling of the enlarged World, and which factors also until now serve as the sole possible means for the assimilation of the cosmic substances required for the coating and perfecting of the higher being-bodies and which we at the present time call 'conscious labors' and 'intentional suffering.'
'la' (6) "Hormoneary" (Ouspensky: H 34 middle (chest) story)
Missing from Beelzebub's Tales. Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis centered in the chest: "You should know that this particular way mentioned is called 'Trnlva.' "From the cerebrum cerebellum of beings a part of these definite substances also goes to serve the planetary body itself, but the other part, passing in a particular way through the 'nerve nodes' of the spine and the breast,

The Sixth Sister:
Yashodra at Smyrna

In her studies on Jesus' letters to the Churches, Yashodra learned that this second letter to the Church at Smyrna, was to James, the twin brother of John. Following Nazarite practices, he was similar to John Mark who used to be Jesus' chief disciple for those who followed the monastic path. Now that John Mark had left with Mary Magdalene, Jesus put James in charge of the monasteries. Jesus advised him to continue not to observe the 10th of September, Atonement Day, as Atonement had been accomplished by his suffering on the cross. His reward would be to have the leadership position of Jonathan Annas, who called himself the 'crown'.

Smyrna being near Kusadasi is a busy cruise ship town. Yashodra felt out of place with her Hindu garb, but enjoyed negotiating with the relentless carpet salesmen who thought that they could bully a Hindu female with their superior intelligence and masculine superiority. She especially liked a rug with the images of the seven churches, and almost ordered it, but then remembered that she had vowed not to have possessions anymore.

Yashodra was thinking how the image of the winepress in Revelation is an important analogy to the Soul, having been formed from Spirit, as grapes are formed from vines, representing the six senses. Once they bear fruit, namely a completed Spirit, their connection to the vines would be severed. This would allow the Spirit and the Soul to avoid the distractions of the senses and emotions. The winepress, representing the undistracted mind, would collect all the juice (the experiencings of the Spirit) and transmute it to a higher state, a Soul, to become the sacred wine of God.

Yashodra agreed with Gwendolyn that the sixth vibration state 'la' of the Food Octave was clearly missing. She thought that Gwendolyn's and Athruis' reconstruction as 'Hormoneary' was interesting as Ouspensky, who was Gurdjieff's special student, had indicated from his notes from Gurdjieff's lessons that it was H 34 in the middle (chest) story. It being the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis centered in the chest made sense.

The interval between 'sol' and 'la' is intersected by the third point of the triangle. With the apex of the triangle representing Passive force and the right-hand point Active force then this third point would be the Neutralizing force. Gurdjieff discusses the problem of the passage of 'sol' to 'la' in the presence of chaos (everyday life) to be a totally external result and in total silence (monastery) to be merely a hidden result (Gurdjieff's humor). The secret to the mastery of this interval between 'sol' and 'la' is what he refers to as being-Partkdolg duty, namely to practice the ability of observing oneself impartially or another way of saying this is 'conscious labors' and 'intentional suffering'. This is known as the fourth way that requires using this method in every day life rather than in a monastery.

Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Revelation 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:
'ti' (7) Exioehary (Ouspensky: H 12 lower (stomach-spine) story)
"is concentrated in the beings of the male sex, in what are called 'testicles' and in the beings of the female sex in what most of your favorites call 'ovaries,' which are the place of concentration in the common presences of beings of the 'being- Exioehary,' which is for the beings themselves their most sacred possession. "Just these same substances in beings, according to the fifth deflection of the Sacred Heptaparaparshinokh, have the free possibility of giving, in the manifestations of the common presences of three-brained beings, results not similar but 'opposite to each other.' "That is why, in respect of these being-substances, the beings themselves must always be very, very much on their guard in order to avoid undesirable consequences for their entire whole. (First part of paragraph beginning "From the cerebellum of beings"
and sentence beginning "You should know" is moved to (6))
"Only after this are the cosmic substances which enter beings-apparatuses for the purpose of evolution, that is, for the possibility of passing the lower Mdnel-In of the fundamental common-cosmic 'exchange of substances,' transformed into that definite totality of cosmic substances— which transformation is the lot of all beings in general and also of your contemporary three-brained beings who breed on the planet Earth in particular, for the automatic justification of the sense and aim of their existence, and this totality of cosmic substances is everywhere called 'Exioehary.'

The Seventh Sister:
Gwendolyn and Athruis at Ephesus

In their studies on Jesus' letters to the Churches, Gwendolyn and Athruis learned that this first letter to the Church at Ephesus, his most important church, was to Peter. This is revealed in his opposition to Simon Magus when he offered money for a gift from God (Acts 8:9-23). Jesus approves of his opposition to Simon, but is not pleased that he uses the Menorah, which belongs to the East Churches not the West. Most importantly, he wants Peter to reinstate the agape gathering that welcomes females and Gentiles.

Ephesus is a treasure trove of ancient buildings from the Temple of Artemis, to the Roman city ruins, and to the Church of Mother Mary. Gwendolyn and Athruis visited them all. They could see why Jesus had made this his major Church.

Being the seventh vibration state 'ti' of the Food Octave, it is the culmination of the Food Octave in a human being and is the sperm and ovum that combine to create a new life that begins again at the first 'do'. Thus ends the purpose of life to be born, to live, and to die, having passed your genetic code on to the next being.

Yet from the Second Being food of air, which entered between 'mi' and 'fa', and the Third Being food of impressions, which entered between 'sol' and 'la', it is possible to build a Spirit and a Soul. When the Food Octave completes at vibration 'ti', there is already completed a Spirit up to vibration 'sol' that began between 'mi' and 'fa' , however the Soul having started at the interval between 'sol' and 'la' has only completed up to vibration 'mi' needing an external force to pass from 'mi' to 'fa' and this can be expressed as to be following the 'Will of God' where God is your best concept of you as God!

After reading more of the Chapter: 'The Holy Planet Purgatory', Gwendolyn and Athruis realized that, since their individual concept of 'God' cannot be perfect, given the imperfections of other higher individuals that they have followed, such as Jesus or Gurdjieff, that their Souls would still have a conscious struggle in Purgatory in life or after death until perfected. Those trivial sins that the Church attempts to control us with have nothing to do with 'sins-of-the-body-of-the-soul', which only exist for those who have a Soul.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:
"Previously, before the Choot-God- Litanical period, this sacred cosmic actualization was, only after this second process of the sacred Rascooarno, either thought worthy of uniting with the presence of our Most Most Holy Sun Absolute or went into other cosmic concentrations where such independent holy Individuals were needed.
“But afterwards, when the mentioned common-cosmic misfortune occurred, on account of which the sacred Theomertmalogos began to issue from the Most Most Holy Sun Absolute with the admixture of subjective properties of extraneously caused arisings, (sins-of-the-body-of-the-soul) then from that time these sacred cosmic arisings ceased to have the possibility of corresponding to the required conditions of existence in the sphere of the Most Most Holy Prime-Source.
Only after this ‘Choot-God-litanical period’ did the necessity appear for such a kind of general-universal functioning which this holy planet ‘Purgatory’ actualizes at the present time.

Revelation 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth.

Revelation 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Revelation 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

From bowls 1 through 7 (63-70 AD), the avarice of the Church is already clear. Not one word about the loss of so many dedicated leaders of both factions of the Church, just the money! And finally, with Zealots captured and paraded in chains in Rome, the money is still diverted so that Agrippa II and Bernice can go to Rome to show fealty to Vespasian in 70 AD.

Chapter 14
Onward towards Armageddon

The seven sisters and six brothers had arrived at Qumran, the correct location of Armageddon. It was eve of the Apocalypse. As they began to drive their convoy of three cars up the hill to the kibbutz next to Qumran, they felt a surge of excitement and apprehension. There was an eerie stillness in the air that reminded them of June 1, 61 AD in the calm before the storm that began with the death of James, the brother of Jesus, by Ananus the Younger in 62 AD and reached its crescendo in 64 AD with the deaths of Paul, Peter, and Timothy, by Nero, in Rome.

Timothy was the eldest of three sons who were born to Salome, the daughter of Herodias who asked for the head of John the Baptist, He was adopted by Agrippa II and made the crown prince. He was the favorite of Paul who wrote two epistles to him. It was shortly after the second bowl was poured out that Christians were being rounded up and tortured by Nero. They were being blamed for setting the Great Fire of Rome that had erupted on the night of July 18 64AD.

It was well known that the Christians were expecting their own Apocalypse and there may have been fanatics, like those in these times, who were not averse to hurrying it along! Whether it was the some misguided Christians or Nero who set it, the expression of Nero's involvement is remembered as 'he fiddled while Rome burned'. He was certainly pleased with the empty space it created to build his 'Golden House'. His madness and cruelty were well known even then, but it would not be another four years in June 9 AD 68 that he was forced to commit suicide.

From March to September 70, Jerusalem would be under siege and sacked by the soldiers under Titus, the son of Vespasian. Vespasian had been made emperor in the chaos after Nero's death and Titus would be emperor after him. The Arch of Titus erected in 82 AD near the Coliseum by Titus's brother Domitian shortly after his death commemorates the fall of Jerusalem depicting soldiers looting the Temple. The bowls were merely Church funds that were diverted to the Zealots and were used to count the years in their fight that would continue up to the suicide at Masada in 73 AD.

Fortunately, the news reporters had no idea of the spiritual crusade of the sisters and brothers and had set up their cameras in the middle of the revelry miles away in Tel Megiddo. Even if they had heard about it, it is well known that spiritual actions do not make good news stories unless accompanied by violence or mass revelry that could end in violence.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Terror of the Situation Ch26, G.I. Gurdjieff:
Faith of consciousness is freedom.
Faith of feeling is weakness.
Faith of body is stupidity.

Love of consciousness evokes the same in response.
Love of feeling evokes the opposite.
Love of body depends on type and polarity.

Hope of consciousness is strength.
Hope of feeling is slavery.
Hope of body is disease.

Josephus: Antiquities of the Jews 18:5.1 About this time Aretas (the king of Arabia Petres) and Herod had a quarrel on the account following: Herod the tetrarch had, married the daughter of Aretas, and had lived with her a great while; but when he was once at Rome, he lodged with Herod, who was his brother indeed, but not by the same mother; for this Herod was the son of the high priest Sireoh's daughter. However, he fell in love with Herodias, this last Herod's wife, who was the daughter of Aristobulus their brother, and the sister of Agrippa the Great. This man ventured to talk to her about a marriage between them; which address, when she admitted, an agreement was made for her to change her habitation, and come to him as soon as he should return from Rome: one article of this marriage also was this, that he should divorce Aretas's daughter ... So Aretas made this the first occasion of his enmity between him and Herod, who had also some quarrel with him about their limits at the country of Gamalitis. So they raised armies on both sides, and prepared for war, and sent their generals to fight instead of themselves; and when they had joined battle, all Herod's army was destroyed by the treachery of some fugitives, who, though they were of the tetrarchy of Philip, joined with Aretas's army.. So Herod wrote about these affairs to Tiberius, who being very angry at the attempt made by Aretas, wrote to Vitellius to make war upon him, and either to take him alive, and bring him to him in bonds, or to kill him, and send him his head. This was the charge that Tiberius gave to the president of Syria.

Dead Sea Scrolls Habakkuk Pesher on Habakkuk (1QpHab 2-3)
(Vitellus equals Kittum who are the Romans with the eagle standard.)
Its pesher refers to the Kittim [who are] swift and mighty in war, destroying many... under the dominion of the Kittim. They will possess [many lands], they will not believe in the decrees of God... they will go across the plain, to smite and plunder the cities of the earth. For as He said, To possess dwellings not theirs. Their horses are swifter than panthers and keener than evening wolves. Their horses spread out and spread their wings; from afar they fly like an eagle hastening to devour. All of them come for violence; the breath of their faces is like the east wind. [Its pesher] refers to the Kittim who trample the earth with their horses and beasts. They come from afar, from the islands of the sea, to devour all the peoples like an eagle which is not satisfied.

Copper Scroll Column I.2:
In the Valley of Achor ... in the tomb of the third 100 gold bars

Josephus: The Wars of the Jews: The History of the Destruction Of Jerusalem II 5.1 - The nature of the lake Asphaltitis is also worth describing. It is, as I have said already, bitter and unfruitful. It is so thick that it bears up the heaviest things that are thrown into it; nor is it easy for any one to make things sink therein to the bottom, if he had a mind so to do. Accordingly, when Vespasian went to see it, he commanded that some who could not swim should have their hands tied behind them, and be thrown into the deep, when it so happened that they all swam as if a wind had forced them upwards.

In worldwide telecasts, the cameras were already showing the people celebrating the Eschaton before it was supposed to happen. Some were dressed up in Mardi Gras costumes with many crucifixes and others were completely naked so as not to waste time undressing for their ascent to heaven. It was their chance to emulate the 'hippie' generation with its 'free love' and mind-expanding drugs. The usually vigilant Israeli police had decided to allow this place to be a free-for-all since they feared attack from their borders by the Arabs far more that this motley group of crazies.

Many of the revelers did not need to think about what it would be like to die, for they had faith that they are the chosen ones. The rest of them, having just today become believers in a God, had the hope that they would be rescued like passengers on a cosmic bus stop. Even the atheists, who worship the god of technology, are expecting the 'deus ex machina', the god in the machine, to be lowered down from heaven and to press a quantum button to lift them to heaven.

In reality the notorious Armageddon was merely a feared attack by Vespasian on Qumran not Tel Megiddo when he moved in on the Zealot uprising. They had almost been attacked before by Vitellius who was ordered to avenge Herod Antipas' defeat by Aretas. Aretas was furious when Herod divorced his daughter to marry Herodias, Salome's mother, ignoring John the Baptist. The troops were camped just outside, but were disbanded when Tiberius died in AD 37. (Antiquities of the Jews and Pesher on Habakkuk). Vespasian had quite a bit of fun in his campaign against the Zealots as he came to the Dead Sea. Actually, it was not so much the battle that was feared, but the loss of the money that was hidden at Qumran according to the Copper Scroll.

Clearly, for the revelers at Tel Megiddo, it was to be much more exciting to die in such an important apocalyptic event than to die on some hospital bed attached to life support equipment or at the hand of some stupid human with a gun or a bomb. There is no preparation necessary. You do not have to put your house up for sale or find a school for your kids or worry about whether a new job will work out. An apocalypse is neat and tidy: no prolonged war, or starvation, or suffering, just one simple cataclysm to rid us of the boredom and unforeseen tragedies that overtake our lives.

What a disappointing world in which we live, that people should be so happy to leave it behind. Our history is full of great civilizations like Egypt, Greece, China, Indonesia, India, Persia, Maya, and so many others too numerous to list and even the United States is soon to join them, all destroyed by their own inertia. Even though 'the haves' are a minority, they control the 'have-nots' by means of guns and money, except that one day the 'have-nots' decide that they cannot take it any longer and the civilization is destroyed. Nothing has changed today. 'The haves' continue to believe that they can buy enough advertising to keep the 'have-nots' from revolting. In countries that we do not like, we call this advertising by the name of propaganda.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:Beelzebub in America Ch47.932, G.I. Gurdjieff:
'School of Languages by the System of Mr. Chatterlitz'
When I had paid him the dollars he charged and he had, seemingly quite casually, but in reality not without that avidity which has also already become proper to all the beings of your planet, placed my dollars in an inside pocket, he explained to me that in order to learn this second form, only five words had to be memorized, namely:
Maybe. Perhaps,Tomorrow. Oh, I see, All right
He added that if I had occasion to converse with one or more of their misters, I should only need to utter any one of these five words every now and then.
'That will be quite enough,' he added, 'to convince everybody that in the first place you know the English language very well, and secondly that you are an old hand at doing dollar business.'

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:Religion Ch38.695-698 by G.I. Gurdjieff:
Meanwhile know that there, among these terrestrial three-brained beings who please you, there existed and exists a great quantity of all kinds of 'religious doctrines', on which these numerous 'religions' of theirs are just built up, and that they usually arise in the following way:
... our Abundantly Loving Common Father condescended to actualize sometimes in the common presences of certain of them wherever they may arise the germ of a sacred Individual, ... (who) should become aware of reality and indicate to the surrounding beings similar to themselves, how they ought, with the Reason present in them, to guide the process of the functioning of their separate spiritualized parts ...
when they (these Sacred Individuals) die ... their contemporaries usually in order to remember and also in order to transmit to the beings of subsequent generations all that these Sacred Individuals had indicated and explained according to their attainments of responsible age, collect it all into one whole, and all this 'collected- into-one-whole' usually just serves as the beginning of all kinds of religious teachings there. ...
from the very beginning (they) understand 'literally' all that has been said and explained by these genuine Sacred Individuals actualized from Above and they never take into account in which environment and for which case this or that was said and explained.
And further, already during the transmission from generation to generation of these religious teachings, the sense of which had already from the very beginning been distorted, they begin to adopt in regard to them the following two factors, which had already become fixed in the general existence of these strange three-brained beings.

1. ... the ruling class, immediately hook on to these religious teachings just that, for them, most maleficent 'question' which exists on this ill-starred planet under the name of 'Religion-for-the-State-or-the-State-for-Religion,'
   and corresponding to this, they gradually begin with every kind of artfulness to juggle with the previously fixed facts for the justification of their own egoistic aims;
2. and the ... authorities for all the trifling details of the new religious teachings ... begin, as it is said, 'to-peck-like-crows-at-a-jackal's carcass' that totality, already 'pecked' from the very beginning without this, of what had been spoken and indicated by the genuine Sacred Individuals, intentionally actualized from Above.

Speaking briefly, the result of the mentioned two factors ... the inherency in the beings belonging to the caste of the ruling class, and the psychopathy of certain of their ordinary beings, is that they always get divided on questions of religion - soon after its foundation, on whatever religious doctrines these religions may have been built up - into their famous 'sects,' and these sects in their turn get divided into other sects, ...

The armies of capitalism march unseen through the world, destroying all the moral principles that took centuries to build. Raising the 'corpus' of corporations higher that the resurrected Body of Jesus, the rich and powerful do not have to receive the blame for their lack of morality and greed. Dreaming one day to become CEO's, the whole human race is being enslaved by banks who, like Mob lenders, control their lives with debts that carry interest rates that are impossible to pay off, while the government uses the people's money to bail out the gambling debts of the banks.

No one seems to realize that the human race has sold itself into slavery. They think that slavery was abolished in the last century, but the majority of the people in the world are still slaves. Slavery has been around since the beginning of time and it is the direct result of human greed and its thirst for power. Sometimes this slavery is blatant, as with slavery in the South in the United States, but other times it is subtle like the immigrant workers or the child sweat-shops of the Third World.

These modern taskmasters do not carry whips, but they control people by the same mechanism used for years against slaves, namely, fear. The bosses control the paychecks and the bosses are controlled by their bosses. At the top of this pyramid scheme are the billionaires of the world that are the masters.

When money replaces God, there can be no morality. Laws and religion have become powerless to stop the murders and other atrocities that are reported daily on television. Becoming outraged, the people think that if they pass laws or raise penalties against 'something or other' that it will be stopped. Society has created a world where it is almost impossible not to break the law every day. Some people are in prison for years for minor crimes while some literally get away with murder, if they have enough money. Personal tragedies are added up as statistics that are declared to be at some acceptable level. Clearly, laws and jails cannot create morality. Morals can only exist by accessing individual conscience.

From experience, we have learned that in this existence everything is both good or bad and yet we desperately hope that the universe favors the good. Thus we hold on to the sixth day of creation:

Genesis 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

Can there be a definition of good? - for what is good for someone, can be bad for someone else. Good and evil are relative terms. For some people, rain may be good, but for others, whose houses have been covered in a mudslide, it is bad. When a lioness kills a gazelle, it is good for the lion, but obviously bad for the gazelle. How would God eliminate the bad in these two examples? If God stopped the rain to prevent a mudslide, there would be a drought. If God saved the gazelle, the lioness would starve. Short-term action that appears to be good can cause a result that is bad. The reverse is also true.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The Holy Planet Purgatory Ch39, G.I. Gurdjieff:
"In the beginning, when nothing yet existed and when the whole of our Universe was empty endless space with the presence of only the prime-source cosmic substance ’Etherokrilno,’ our present Most Great and Most Most Holy Sun Absolute existed alone in all this empty space, and it was on this then sole cosmic concentration that our UNI-BEING CREATOR with HIS cherubim and seraphim had the place of HIS most glorious Being.
It was just during this same period of the flow of time that there came to our CREATOR ALL-MAINTAINER the forced need to create our present existing ‘Megalocosmos,’ i.e., our World.
From the third most sacred canticle of our cherubim and seraphim, we were worthy of learning that our CREATOR OMNIPOTENT once ascertained that this same Sun Absolute, on which HE dwelt with HIS cherubim and seraphim was, although almost imperceptibly yet nevertheless gradually, diminishing in volume.
As the fact ascertained by HIM appeared to HIM very serious, HE then decided immediately to review all the laws which maintained the existence of that, then still sole, cosmic concentration. During this review our OMNIPOTENT CREATOR for the first time made it clear that the cause of this gradual diminishing of the volume of the Sun Absolute was merely the Heropass, that is, the flow of Time itself.
Thereupon our ENDLESSNESS became thoughtful, for in HIS Divine deliberations HE became clearly aware that if this Heropass should so continue to diminish the volume of the Sun Absolute, then sooner or later, it would ultimately bring about the complete destruction of this sole place of HIS Being.
And so, my boy, in view of this, our ENDLESSNESS was then just compelled to take certain corresponding measures, so that from this Heropass the destruction of our Most Most Holy Sun Absolute could not eventually occur.
Further, again from the sacred canticle of our cherubim and seraphim, but this time the fifth sacred canticle, we were worthy of learning that after this Divine ascertainment of HIS, our ENDLESSNESS devoted HIMSELF entirely to finding a possibility of averting such an inevitable end, which had to occur according to the lawful commands of the merciless Heropass, and that after HIS long Divine deliberations, HE decided to create our present existing ’Megalocosmos.’"

'Emptiness' does not exist because emptiness cannot be measured by emptiness. Creation brings existence out of emptiness, but yet it cannot do so without the interaction between positive and negative, matter and anti-matter, 'good' and 'bad'. This is true in the universe down to the smallest sub-atomic energy entity. If it were possible for God or humans to remove the 'bad' by an apocalyptic event, such an act would also eliminate the 'good', leaving 'emptiness'.

For God to be infinite, God would have to be present everywhere, therefore, God would have to be both 'good' and 'bad', positive and negative, heaven and nirvana.

Occasionally group consciousness attempts to bring change to the world. In the sixties there were 'hippies', in the seventies it was 'New Age', and in the nineties it was 'tree huggers'. All these movements are lost now to nostalgia and ridicule. The fact that nothing changed is an indication that the world resists change.

Clearly there is a rule that any temporary connection to Spirit creates an imbalance that draws more evil inside to compensate. Our history is full of people who, for a brief time, had great spiritual influence over the world and were eliminated: Lincoln, the Kennedy's, Martin Luther, John Lennon, and Gandhi. Of course, there are even more spiritual ones who attempted to live their lives in a special way and are still worshiped today such as Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed. Jesus is the poster boy for killings by deranged people who think themselves to be Christian when they kill for God and, likewise, deranged Muslims for Mohammed.

The seven sisters and six brothers woke up at dawn and walked past some people from a tour bus that seemed to be unaware of this threatened last day of civilization. The guide was telling them how Qumran was a pottery shop, a place where monks copied scrolls, and a Zealot stronghold. And further they went on give the cover up statement to protect the Church that in the Dead Sea Scrolls the "Teacher of Righteousness" and the "Wicked Priest" where just some unknown priests in 159-152 BCE.

With Qumran being near the disputed territory between Jordan and Israel, it is to the advantage of the Israelis to make sure that only Jewish history is presented. It is also of great advantage to the Catholic Church to pretend that Jesus was not the 'Wicked Priest' or that John the Baptist was not the 'Teacher of Righteousness' because, aside from the scandal of Jesus being the 'Wicked Priest', the truth would come out about the locations in which they operated. The Church would have to recognize the fact that the Bible says that John the Baptist baptized in the River Jordan and that Jesus spent forty days and nights in the Wilderness at Mird, all of which are in the vicinity of Qumran rather than Jerusalem.

Dead Sea Scrolls Habakkuk 1QpHab XI:2-8:
"Woe to him who causes his neighbors to drink; who pours out his venom to make them drunk that he may gaze on their feasts." (Habakkuk 2:15)
Its pesher, this is the city of Ephraim, those who seek smooth things during the last days, who walk in falsehood.
Its pesher refers to the Wicked Priest who pursued after the Teacher of Righteousness to his house of exile to confusion him with his venomous anger. At the time appointed for rest for the Day of Atonement, he appeared to them to confuse them up and to cause them to stumble on the day of fasting, the Sabbath of their rest.

Mark 9:2-7 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them; and his garments became glistering, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them.
And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid.
And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him.

In the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew, Mark and Luke; Moses and Elijah are titles for the Priest and his Levite and Joshua would be the title for Jesus according to the Therapeuts, with Jonathan Annas, the Sadducee priest, and Theudas as his levite. What Jesus did was to usurp the three positions by advancing himself to be Priest, by dressing in a white robe. Note that even Peter objects by saying that the these positions are separate. It creates an uproar; and he is pushed back down in grade, as the 'Wicked Priest', by the Cloud, who is the Phanuel, the fourth position (angel).
Jesus believed that he could act as priest because it did not have to be by hereditary, thus the smoke in the Sistine Chapel to pretend to be an election based on merit. Paul justifies Jesus' position as head of the Church in his Epistle to the Hebrews by using the mysterious Melchizedek, the priest king from the days of Abraham, as being superior to the priests of Moses.

Chapter 15
Day of the Apocalypse

The sisters had dressed in shear white dresses with golden sparkle dust that seemed to glow with her auras. The brothers were dressed in garments like Jesus wore. The sisters, acting as priestesses, had seven golden goblets like the Holy Grail that Gwendolyn would fill with water that she had carefully collected outside the house of the Virgin Mary in Ephesus. The brothers, acting as levites, had silver goblets.

They arranged themselves according to the pattern that Gwendolyn had worked out with herself in the center of the circle of the six sisters, with the six brothers in a circle behind them filling the spaces between the sisters. There are four triangles that connect with these points.

As a prelude to each of the twelve ceremonial points of the circle, Gwendolyn gives some explanation of the Revelation passages and then strengthens one of the six vibrational centers that each sister represents followed by one of the six senses that each brother represents, as she moves around the points of the four inner triangles.

1 Peter 5:13 She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark.

Babylon stands for Rome and Bernice being the Jewish Queen in Babylon is part of Peter's mission in Rome. (Mark is the scribe of Peter for Peter's Gospel of Mark.)

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven bowls, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Revelation 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, 'Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.'

In June 70 AD Bernice, the Herod Queen, began an affair with Titus, the son of the Vespasian who was made emperor of Rome during the campaign against the Jewish Zealots. Titus was left in charge and conquered the Jews and burned their Temple in August 70 AD. Bernice, being a student of Helena, who was once a temple priestess (called a adulterous woman in John 8:1-11), the consort of Simon Magus, and mother of Mary Magdalene, was not adverse to using sex as a means of recruitment to the Church. Ironically, she almost became Titus' wife, which would have saved the Jewish State! Clearly, Jesus' Church of Peter and Paul did not approve of the use of sex.
She was threatening to the male clergy as she would wear the red robe of a Cardinal, thus the association of scarlet with maligned whores and even for Mary Magdalene, the supposedly 'reformed whore', often portrayed in red, however Magdalene was rightfully of the level of Cardinal because of her marriage to Jesus.

Cassius Dio, Roman History LXV.15: (75AD) Berenice (Bernice) was at the very height of her power and consequently came to Rome along with her brother Agrippa. The latter was given the rank of praetor, while she dwelt in the palace, cohabiting with Titus. She expected to marry him and was already behaving in every respect as if she were his wife ; but when he perceived that the Romans were displeased with the situation, he sent her away.

The Ceremony: Yashodra and Simon

From the center, Gwendolyn says,

"Bernice is called 'Babylon the Great' and the 'Great Whore' because she may conquer Titus, the future emperor of Rome, with love and sex, and possibly marriage, though he will destroy the old Jerusalem.
She rides the 'beast' because Eleazar ben Simon accepts her as his superior. Eleazar, as the Zealot beast, would bring suicide to his comrades at Masada. Yet at other times she was willing to follow a Nazirite vow like Jesus."

"As Mother of the Hebrew tribe of Asher, Bernice has learned from her teacher Helena, Sapphira the consort of Simon Magus, that femininity is not a fault, for the fault lies in the weakness of men."

Gwendolyn walks over to Yashodra at the left point of the inverted triangle, saying:
"Just as Bernice wore the purple robe of a queen and the scarlet robe of a cardinal, adorned with the gold of the High Priest and the sapphire of levite to the High Priest, so can all obtain the Kingdom of God."

"Let those who possess the beginnings of a Soul never be content until their Soul has been completed and be ever watchful to accept the opportunities for inner growth that present. Let us not give in to doubt, which tells us that a Soul does not exist. Let us remember to never put our trust in the superficial values of other people. Though we may be clothed in the world, we are naked like Adam and Eve before God."

"In Hebrews 5:12-14 Paul writes 'For when by reason of the time you ought to be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.'"

"Let us no longer be 'babes in Christ', lets us be weaned to the nourishment that comes from God."

Gwendolyn pours some water into Yashodra's golden goblet, saying:
"May our actions be appropriate to the Will of God." She kisses Yashodra on her lips.

Gwendolyn moves to her right to the top point of the counter clockwise triangle to stand in front of Simon, saying:

"In Psalms 91:1 David sings, 'He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.'"

Gwendolyn pours some water into Simon's silver goblet, saying:
"May our sixth sense uncover the secret places of the Most High for us all." She kisses Simon on the lips.

Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Revelation 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The Ceremony: Isis and Athruis

Gwendolyn returns to the center and says,

"In 70 AD Jesus' son, Jesus Justus, had turned 33 years old. His name is struck from the book of life because those who leave the monastery are 'dead'. He was choosing to come out of the monastery like Jesus when he started his ministry outside in order to continue the David line with Mary Magdalene."

"In 71 AD Jesus at the age of 77 advocates to end the support for the Zealots and his advice is accepted. The Zealot war is already failing after the destruction of Jerusalem. Jesus will pass away in the next year and Jesus Justus has taken his place. Titus is returning to Rome and Bernice waits for him with loving arms."

Gwendolyn walks over to Isis at the bottom point of the inverted triangle, saying:
"Jesus is the Lamb, having willingly shed his blood for the redemption of mankind. This act is what is necessary to gain a Spirit. We must deny the ordinary habitual actions, feelings, and thoughts and reclaim our essence that is our child self."

"In Matthew 16:24 Jesus said to his disciples, 'If any man desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.'"

Gwendolyn pours some water into Isis's cup, saying:
"May our hearts be always open to God." Gwendolyn kisses Isis on the lips.

Gwendolyn moves to her right to the left point of the counter clockwise triangle to stand in front of Athruis, and pours water into his silver goblet, saying:

"Revelation 13:9 says 'If any man have an ear, let him hear.'

Gwendolyn kisses Athruis on the lips and he hugs her.

Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
Revelation 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Revelation 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Revelation 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Revelation 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Revelation 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Revelation 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Revelation 18:13 And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

The Ceremony: Sheba and Marshall

Gwendolyn returns to the center and says,

"The Herodian Church had 29 grades. Here we are acting as these precious stones that adorned the New Jerusalem. As assistants to God we are also wearing 'silk' as judges, enforcing only good in the world."

Gwendolyn walks over to Sheba at the right point of the inverted triangle, saying:
"Feelings must be transmuted into emotions to feed the Spirit rather than tie us to the joys of the physical realm."

Gwendolyn pours some water into Sheba goblet, saying:
"May we all treasure feelings that flow impartially and become the crystal colored raindrop tears of our Spirit." She kisses Sheba on the mouth.

Gwendolyn moves to her right to the right point of the counter clockwise triangle to stand in front of Marshall, saying:
"In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus told the people who lived in 'the Salt', the Dead Sea near Qumran, of the need to remain vigilant to retain the struggle that has been given to all people ever since Adam and Eve ate the apple of the knowledge of Good and Evil in order to become Gods."

"In Matthew 5:13 Jesus said 'You are the salt of the earth, but if has become tasteless, in what way can it regain its saltness? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.'"

Gwendolyn pours water into Marshall's silver goblet, saying:
"We are the sacred seeds that when nurtured in the womb of Our Earth Mother bring forth the Spirit and Soul." Gwendolyn kisses Marshall on the lips.

Revelation 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Revelation 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Revelation 18:16 And saying:
Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Revelation 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Revelation 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Revelation 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Revelation 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Revelation 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

The Ceremony: Atira and Llyr

Gwendolyn returns to the center and says,

"The Davidic bride has come of age and she will be betrothed to Jesus Justus in June of 72 AD. Being under Bernice, she will need to learn the ways of the Christian Church. In this year the Christian Church casts off the millstone of celibacy and becomes a full abbey church."

Gwendolyn walks over to Atira at the left point of the center triangle, saying:
"The breath of all the plants of the earth enters inside us from the lungs and the heart. From this breath, we become children of our Earth Mother with astral Spirit bodies that fly among the angels in the clouds."

Gwendolyn pours some water into her golden goblet, saying:
"May our Spirits become brides and bridegrooms of Christ". She kisses Atira on the lips.

Gwendolyn moves to her right to the left point of the clockwise triangle to stand in front of Llyr:
"Theudas (Nicodemus/Barabbas) had a problem with the with things he could not see as he was only a Zealot of action."

"In John 3:3-8 Jesus answered, 'Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, one cannot enter into the kingdom of God!'
'Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is Spirit.'
'Do not be astonished at my telling you, you must all be born anew.'
'The Spirit, like the wind, bloweth where it will, and its Voice you sense, but you do not know where it came from or where it will go; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.'"

Gwendolyn pours water into Llyr's silver goblet, saying "For all of us who have been born of Spirit; let us see God." She kisses Llyr on the lips.

Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Revelation 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true words of God.

The Ceremony: Khadija and Dodgson

Gwendolyn returns to the center and says,

"The sons of Jesus are indicated by the expression: the 'true words of God' just as Jesus was the 'Word of God'. They are Jesus Justus born in 37 AD, who is now the Lamb since Jesus died in 72 AD, and his brother, Joseph, born in 44 AD is the 'crown prince'."
"In 73 AD, Jesus Justus at the age of 36 is married to his bride in Rome, just as Mary Magdalene was married to Jesus in 30 AD at Ein Feshkha, south of Qumran."

"Acts 6:7 tells of the birth of Jesus Justus, 'The word of God increased' ..."
"Acts 12:24 tells of the birth of Joseph, 'But the word of God grew and multiplied.'"

Gwendolyn walks over to Khadija at the right point of the center triangle, saying:
"Bernice, the head of the virgins of Asher, uses the symbol for the cross as an X. Let the X and the Y chromosomes that bring forth a child also be used to create a Spirit and Soul within us."

"Matthew 13:31,32 Jesus said 'The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.'"

Gwendolyn pours some water into Khadija's golden goblet, saying:
"May each of our seeds that are grounded in impartiality become each a Spirit and Soul." She kisses Khadija on the lips.

Gwendolyn moves to her right to the right point of the clockwise triangle to stand in front of Dodgson, saying:
"Touch is both the first sense that a baby uses to connect to his mother and it is also the method of astral connection of emotion to emotion."

"In Luke 6:19 All the multitude sought to touch Jesus, for power came forth from him, and healed them all."

Gwendolyn pours some water into Dodgson's silver goblet, saying "May all our Spirits touch each other in the Astral world of emotion." She kisses Dodgson on the lips.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture sprinkled in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Revelation 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

The Ceremony: Vitskaia and Waring

Gwendolyn returns to the center and says,

"Jesus Justus on the white horse was the 'Christ in name', as only his father had the right to hold the title of Christ."

Gwendolyn walks over to Vitskaia at the top point of the center triangle, saying:
"As you rode the white horse to my aid at Easter Island, so must we begin at the beginning. All that we have been taught in schools and in churches and by the bullies that enforce the laws of the jungle in the schoolyards and the workplaces must be thrown down like the Zealot beasts of Masada who preferred war over peace. Let the force of peace overcome the bigotry and ignorance that advocates war as a solution."

Gwendolyn pours some water into Vitskaia's golden goblet, saying:

"In John 8:3-11 Jesus said 'He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone'. They all left and Jesus said to the woman, 'Where are they? Has no one condemned you?' She said, 'No one, Lord.' Then Jesus said, 'Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.'"

"For we are not born with sin, we do not acquire sin if we act from conscience, and it is God's Will that directs our Souls away from sin."

Gwendolyn kisses Vitskaia on the lips.

Gwendolyn moves to her right to the top point of the clockwise triangle to stand in front of Waring, saying:
"It is from incense that we can clear away the worldly energies that surround us with the cacophonous noise of civilization. Let us leave this beta state of our normal existence and enter into the alpha state of our true nature."

Gwendolyn pours water into Waring's silver goblet, saying "May the scents of frankincense and myrrh that the wise men brought to the baby Jesus clear the space around us." She kisses Waring on the mouth.

Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Revelation 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Revelation 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Revelation 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Revelation 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Revelation 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
Revelation 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Revelation 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Revelation 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it.
Revelation 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Revelation 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

The New Jerusalem

Metonic cycle (uncovered by the Greek astronomer Meton of Athens in the fifth century BC) 235 synodic months = 19 years × 12 months every year + 7 (one month every 7 years) thus 235 synodic months divided by 19 = 12 + 7/19 The silver fraction calls out the numbers 7, 12, and 19: One year = 12 synodic months + the silver fraction (7/19 or .368421 of a synodic month)

Chapter 16
The Silver Fraction

Gwendolyn speaks from the center of the circle, "In 100 AD, it was supposed to be the Eschaton; it was postponed to 106 AD and still it did not happen. It was St. John's grandson who imagined a 'New Jerusalem' that would begin with the marriage of the grandson of Jesus in 113 AD. Today, each of us represents one of the jewels of that 'New Jerusalem'. It is our hope now to build within us a 'Newer Jerusalem' worthy of being added to the 'Lamb's Book of Life'."

"Please be present to us Mother Mary . . .
Six of our sisters represent the six women who followed your son Jesus who surround you as the seventh.

Please be present to us Jesus . . .
Our brothers are six representing your six actual disciples of the twelve disciples surrounding you as the thirteenth."

"The sisters and brothers are 6+12 = 18 surrounding the seventh sister, Gwendolyn, as the nineteenth, which is the denominator of the silver fraction (7/19 of 12). We invite Mother Mary and Jesus, to the 'Marriage of the Lamb' to be joined with me, Gwendolyn, as the centers of the circles of seven, thirteeen, and nineteen in the fifth dimension."

As they raised their goblets to Heaven to hail Jesus and Mary a ray of light from the sun, which was high in the sky, appeared to descend straight down towards the center of the circle where Gwendolyn was standing. Then a flash of light from the half moon, just risen, moved in a quick arc around the sky like a comet that intersected the ray of the sun and moved past it. For a brief moment the trail of the moon created a beautiful shining cross above the circle of the six sisters and six brothers.

Each of the six sisters and brothers in the circle around them began to glow in the color of the planets that ruled them: Vitskaia like the Moon, Sheba and Llyr like Mars, Khadija and Marshall like Saturn and Athruis like Uranus, Dodgson like Neptune, Isis and Simon like Venus, Atira and Waring like Mercury, and Yashodra like Jupiter.

Gwendolyn became Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and other saintly beings long forgotten and then a bald headed man sporting a mustache and western styled jacket that was clearly Gurdjieff. Then her body began to strobe from the blue light of Mother Mary to the clear white light of Jesus, back and forth.

Gwendolyn's body was acting like a solar eclipse that allowed Jesus as the Sun and Mother Mary as the Moon simultaneously to be present and, like an eclipse, a glorious corona of sparkling light surrounded the three.

Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Revelation 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Revelation 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Revelation 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Revelation 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Revelation 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

The New Jerusalem: DSS 4Q554 fr 1: And he showed me the dimensions of the dining halls. Each has length of nineteen cubits and a width of twelve cubits.

Being each as equal partners in this union, the masculine energy of Jesus and female energy of Mother Mary were being transmuted into a new being that was neither male nor female. It was the conception of a new God: an androgynous being.

Just then, the most glorious music seemed to be coming from the sky as the six sisters danced with the six brothers around in circles that moved around in a counter-clockwise direction, holding their clasped hands high. Their dance began to spiral closer and closer to the central strobing blue and white diamond that was the new God.

Instead of being confined in a separate circular space, the eighteen figures began to grow thinner and taller as they were drawn closer to the center like planets from the farthest reaches of the solar system are pulled into the sun. Soon they would become part of the merged body of Gwendolyn and Jesus and Mother Mary.

As they got closer and closer to the central blue and white flashing light, like the contracting energy of a supernova, there was a sudden explosion. Then energy that was racing outward began contracting back into a black hole taking with it all the galaxies in the universe, as all light disappeared. Emerging out from this dark tunnel, everything became One, being present everywhere in all space and time as light.

What remained was a cube that contained everything existing. This was the Newer Jerusalem like that described in the Temple Scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls. It had a dimension of twelve thousand stadia which when divided by number of stadia in a Jewish mile (seven and a half) equals 1600 which is also 40 times 40. This number represents infinity squared and the number of the letters: 'to soma heliakon,' the solar body or Soul.

The aura, 'he doxa', that surrounded the cube has a letter number of 143; adjusting to the 'measure of a man' (144) which is twelve times twelve adds 1. This number represented the twelve apostles or the signs of the zodiac squared which is the Spirit.

Slowly, this infinite cube of the Soul began to unfold like a flower with its petals to the sun to form a Christian cross of four squares up and three squares across. And in the center was a new androgynous being.

This unfolded androgynous being had seven distinct planetary natures that are part of the universal Law of Seven.

Revelation 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Revelation 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Its countenance was like the Sun for its inner being was energized from the energy of the Soul that had been conceived and nourished by the cerebrum of the mind and perfected in God's image as a priest of God.

It had hair over its whole body, which was white and curly like a lamb, as the Good Shepherd, relying on ancient wisdom rather than discordant thoughts in the brain. Its whole body was energized by the transmuted sexual energy of Saturn that was connected with the energy of the Spirit like the frozen crystals of Saturn's rings to form a Soul.

It's eyes shone with the fire of Jupiter like an oil lamp that purifies the Soul from the influences of the body and the Spirit body and controls the nerve pathways to the mind in the cerebellum.

It had feet that were made from the quicksilver of Mercury that can transmute the Spirit into Soul in the alchemist's furnace. With the winged feet of Mercury the air of Spirit can fly from the lungs through the throat with every breath.

It was wearing over its chest and body a golden Greek garment spun by Venus to show that its emotional Spirit body centered at the heart had been transmuted by pure love from the lower desires of the body as an angel views the sunrise.

It's tongue was a two-edged sword, the transmuted passion of Mars. Having two edges, its passion was no longer ruled by opposing emotions in the spleen, having the power to exclude them, but was tempered by heart and mind.

It's voice like the sound of tide when the Moon pulls the ocean was the reflection of the Sun, saying, 'I am the first and the last.'

The spectacular event abruptly came to a close, and the seven sisters and six brothers fell to the ground exhausted. At Gwendolyn's feet was a book with a title called: 'The Book of Mystery' with the cross on its cover. It had been left there as tangible proof of their experience, so that they would not doubt it.

Revelation 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Revelation 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.
Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and when it murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

The Sixth Level

ααααααααααααααααααααααααα

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven "May your universal institution succeed. May its non-monastic form be established. It has both priests and laity." (pesher reading by Dr. Barbara Thiering)

ωωωωωωωωωωωωωωωωωωωω

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Chapter 17
The Three Mysteries

This last chapter of Revelation, knowing now that the Eschaton was not happening, ends by announcing the arrival of a new baby, a great grandson of Jesus in 114 AD. Christ's bloodline is intact, but not the Church, which would continue to stray farther and farther from its Qumran Bethlehem roots.

The book that Jesus left to the seven sisters and the six brothers would hopefully be a start towards a new paradigm.

On the first page of the book is written:

For each gift that this book gives,
you must give a gift back to God.

The First Mystery

This First Mystery emanates from our
body.

By the laws of Physics, the interaction of Energy and Matter gives us a place to live and a climate that nurtures our existence.

Your gift to God is to advocate and practice methods that will assure an ecologically stable planet for future generations including the means for all beings to have a home, clothes, food, water, and all other means to sustain life.

(The First Mystery)

Energy turns to Matter and Matter turns to Energy. We know this from Einstein's formula E=mc². When Energy is in the Matter state, it has the possibility of creating far more complex forms than when it was pure Energy. Pure Energy without Matter would tend to be evenly distributed by the rules of entropy. The effect of Matter in the universe creates complex groupings of Matter and Energy.

The Second Mystery

The Second Mystery that emanates from our
heart.

By the laws of Genetic selection, complex beings expressing Spirit through Love pass forward their Life blueprints in DNA by means of sexual union and family.

Your gift to God is to abstain from hate, greed, and violence and make sure that all people can live together in peace and love and to share the silence, the dances, and the songs while aspiring to be angels.

(The Second Mystery)

Spirit is like Energy and Life is like Matter. Just as Matter is made up of atoms, so is Life made up of cells. Life turns to Spirit and Spirit turns to Life (reincarnation). When Spirit is in the Life state, it has the possibility of becoming more complex. We know this from fossil evidence and Darwin's theory. Then when this Life turns back to Spirit, it raises the localized complexity of Spirit. When this localized Spirit turns back to Life, it raises the complexity of Life even more.

The body is ruled by passing time that always marches forward, but the Spirit exists in time that is infinite in the fourth dimension. Above this is the Soul that exists in a dimension one higher than Spirit, the fifth dimension of infinite space. It was this five dimensional space that the seven sisters had entered into.

On our three-dimensional plane, we can barely make out the fourth dimension of time within the infinite time that is Spirit and it is almost impossible to grasp the concept of infinite space that is the Soul.

Light travels at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second. In the theory of relativity, as a person approaches the speed of light, the person's time slows down compared to another person at rest. If one imagines Spirit and Soul to have similar properties, it is simple to see that compared to our time, the time of Spirit and Soul is infinite. In fact a photon, which travels at the speed of light and appears to move through space, actually exists forever because the time within it is at a standstill. Within this infinite time, it is simple for Spirit or Soul to be present anywhere at any time.

In Newtonian physics, which is directly perceptible to our reality, when a person drives a car, then distance equals velocity multiplied by time (S = VT). The more time the driver has for the journey, the greater distance that can be traveled. Perhaps when we see flying saucers, it is these brief moments when we are catching a glimpse of Spirit travel through infinite time.

If an object travels at the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite, which is impossible for a normal object, but it gives a clue about how all the Souls in the universe might be combined to form God.

The Third Mystery

The Third Mystery emanates from our
mind.

By the laws of Metaphysics, humans are exalted above animals by means of Knowledge, built upon Intuition, which is passed to future generations.

Your gift to God is to give all people access to real knowledge and encourage independent thought in order to enhance their daily existence and create an environment where human beings can truly be called humans aspiring to be archangels.

(The Third Mystery)

Intuition is like Spirit and Energy just as Knowledge is like Life and Matter. Intuition turns to Knowledge and Knowledge turns to Intuition.

When Intuition is in the Knowledge state, it has the possibility of becoming more complex. We see this in the advance of science, ethics, and the arts. Then when this Knowledge turns back to Intuition, it raises the localized complexity of Intuition. It is this presence of localized Intuition that Edgar Cayce has referred to as the Akashic Records. Then when this localized Intuition turns back to Knowledge, it raises the complexity of Knowledge.

The time frames of growth for the three forces of the universe: Matter-Energy, Life-Spirit, and Knowledge-Inspiration are different. From our perception, the complexity of Matter-Energy took the longest time to form, then Life-Spirit, and finally Intuition- Knowledge. Each of these processes being faster than the one before it; thus the growth of Knowledge and Intuition is almost instantaneous compared to the first two. This can be seen by the advances that have occurred in the last fifty years.

Matter and Energy supplies the building blocks of our physical existence.

Life and Spirit gives the physical body the emotional joy in our lives and also the means to build a Spirit.

Knowledge and Intuition gives us the tools to fulfill our lives and also the means to build a Soul.

Just as sound is dependent on the vibrations of the earth's atmosphere, so is Spirit dependent of the Solar System. The Soul, being formed of thought is like the electromagnetic waves of light that can travel anywhere in the universe. And yet, Souls differ from light because their mass is infinite. Each Soul is the All in All that is God. The more perfect these Souls are, which are merged into God, the more perfect is God!

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson:The System of Archangel Hariton Ch5.70 by G.I. Gurdjieff:
The ship on which we are now flying also belongs to this system and its construction is similar to that of all the ships built on the system of the Angel Hariton. This system is not very complicated. The whole of this great invention consists of only a single 'cylinder' shaped like an ordinary barrel. The secret of this cylinder lies in the disposition of the materials of which its inner side is made. These materials are arranged in a certain order and isolated from each other by means of Amber.' They have such a property that if any cosmic gaseous substance whatever enters the space which they enclose, whether it be 'atmosphere,' 'air,' 'ether,' or any other 'totality' of homogeneous cosmic elements, it immediately expands, owing to the mentioned disposition of materials within the cylinder."

Meetings with Remarkable Men: Professor Skridlov (end paragraph) by G.I. Gurdjieff:
Professor Skridlov, 'Formally, it may be said, my whole being was possessed by egoism. I was a man wholly engrossed in my own personal interests and pleasures, and also in the interests and pleasures of my children, I was always occupied with thoughts of how best to satisfy my needs and the needs of my children. All my manifestations and experiencings flowed from my vanity. The meeting with Father Giovanni killed all this, and from then on there gradually arose in me that 'something' which has brought the whole of me to the unshakeable conviction that, apart from the vanities of life, there exists a 'something else' which must be the aim and ideal of every more or less thinking person, and that it is only this 'something else' which may make a person really happy and give real values, instead of illusory goods in ordinary life a person is always and in everything full.'

Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Chapter 18
The Aftermath

Each person is given four choices in life:

1. To do nothing or to live an immoral life and then to face the consequences of being trapped in a ghost body (your infant Spirit) after death and, in this self-created hell, to suffer as long as you believe that you have been anything more than energy waste.
2. To live a moral life and welcome your death peacefully and without guilt and to then watch your ghost body (your infant Spirit) be dissolved quietly into the energy that will be used to animate another being.
3. To choose to accept the "daily bread" of sorrow that results from the struggle between right and wrong within yourself, which will create a Spirit - so that, after the death of your physical body, your perfected Spirit can rise up to become part of the Earth's aura. There your Spirit accomplishments will be measured and entered in the Spirit scrolls of the Earth. Being aware that your Spirit does also have an end, you can aspire to build a Soul or choose to be reincarnated, only to repeat the same mistakes.
4. To choose to struggle with "the temptations of evil" that is your inflated ego and learn the methods that can create a Soul. To sublimate the joys of the body and the Spirit in order to create the contemplative space where it is possible to understand the reason that God must exist rather than to be at the whim of quantum probability. The "Prodigal Son and Daughter" who squanders their precious inheritance, returning with nothing, can still be forgiven in the world of Spirit, but cannot be forgiven in the world of Soul for God needs your Soul's unique knowledge to be joined to all other completed Souls to replenish All Existence.

Although the world did not end on December 2012 - perhaps the sacred ceremony of the seven sisters and six brothers prevented it - but will the future bring peace or destruction: a Revelation or an Apocalypse? Only time will tell. Each day the world is given a choice of whether to follow a path that could remove the suffering of the world or whether to follow a path that leads to death and destruction. Whether the good message that was brought this day will be followed or forgotten is not yet known, for that is a book of the future.

Individually, the methods contained here can be used by you to build an internal spaceship like Noah's Ark, that can escape the insanities of the world. This spaceship is your Spirit and your Soul. Given infinite time and infinite space, there is never a final apocalyptic end, but rather infinite SOUL-utions.
