Christ

The modern churches teach the belief in God, but the belief had actually an entirely different meaning, if already the "belief of a mustard grain" can move mountains. It is not to understand as a "for aware hold" but as the result of the goal of spiritual realization. The modern churches dont have the the means of spiritual development like early christianity once had. After several centuries the original spirituality was replaced by the beleife in the savior Christ. (Sacraments, Nicea)

For example can the story of John be found there who meets Jesus, who " baptizes with fire " while John baptizes "with water". (Spiritual rebirth out of water and spirit, "without which heaven cannot be inherited". or, "unless a person is not born new, he cannot see the kindom of God! (John III/3).
The prerequisite for the baptism out of spirit is therefore the "purified" John-man, and the river "Jordan" has here the meaning of the transformed "Logos"(hindu. Pranava; Balneum Mariae).

The various modern churches establish an euphoria and have a rudimentary moral basis in their groups, but they have no understanding of true spirituality and mislead their members who visit the many christian churches out of many reasons, depending upon their aspiration.

The modern theology is alas nowadays the gravestone before the grave of Christ. "Let the dead bury the dead and follow me"( Matth. 8,18 ff) or "in Christ i die daily" (1 Cor 15:31) or "Therefore be as perfect as your father in heaven is" (Math. 25, 17-18)

The real-seeking Christian could practize a very regular long intensive meditation on the name 'Yeshua-Ra' and simultaneously visualize Christ as a glorified form of light. ie. Guru meditation (this name is similar to the Hindu Ishvara striking: 'Ye-sh-ua-ra' ----'I-sh-va-ra'). Then Christ becomes the true Savior and the Christian becomes a child of light.

The true priest should be the wise friend of all people, but as it lacks the vast majority of priests of all religions the true love of God, resulted a dogmatism with ridiculous and profound assurances of the correct interpretation, and that explains the often cruel manner how the alleged right principles and intentions are glossed over.

Sentences like
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world then the love of the Father is not in him, because all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions, is not from the Father. The world is passing away with all its desires, but he who does the will of God remains forever." (1 Joh 2, 15 ff) or
"Sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I repeat as I have told you in the past, that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. (Gal. 5, 19 ff)
or
"Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of the darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens." ( Eph. 6, 12 f.)
lead nowadays to enlightened headshaking.

The early christianity practized the above mentioned lost method of inner repetition of the secret name of Jesus ('Jeshua-Ra' - in comparison with 'Amon-Ra'). "Thou shall call His Name Jesus: For He shall save His people from their sins." (Matt. i. 21; first initiation) - 'Jeshua-Ra', a name which is similar to the hinduistic 'ishvara'
["baptism" or initiation through an apostle; 1 Kor. 6.11 ; 1 Kor. 15.31 ; 1 Joh 2.5; Joh. 8.51; Joh. 14,21-24; Joh. 17.14; Hebr. 4.12; 1 Petrus 1.2]

Until the bloody council to Nicea the christian tradition degraded and the practices were lost and a simple beleife stayed over.

The christian fundamentals are the four gospels, the letters of the apostles and the apocalypse of John.

The Apocalypse of St. John

The apocalypse is a visionary description of the 22 steps of the Universal Doctrine :
Chapter 10 shows the angel standing on land and water like on the double moon on Tarotcard 10. The apocalyptic mountain ZION of step 14 is equal with the mountain SINAI of the step 14 of the Exodus of the old testament.
The apocalyptic 'Whore Babel' corresponds with the step 17 of the Universal Doctrine. Chapter 22 describes the divine currenb(highest logos, Para-Nada form the Para-Shakti) which

The four gospels

The four gospels were written over 70 years after Christ and by persons who had not seen Jesus personally. They gospels are symbolic presentations of four directions of the path.

The path as taught by Matthew('Man') from Betlehem to Golgatha (-> A. A. Bailey : From Betlehem to Golgatha) describes one direction of the four main directions (U.D. 15-19), beginning with the birth of the "divine child"(like Horus and Isis).

It must therefore be noted that Bethlehem is the beginning of the path(1st initiation; U.Doctrine 15) and that the divine child is not born in the Augias-Stall, but first after the rainbow of Noach who has left the animals with the ark behind - i.e. midst of spiritual meekness and humility.
The later flight to Egypt describes phase 2 and 3 of step 15 of the U.P.

There were and exist spiritual and gnostic groups wo interpret the four gospels as symbolic stories in the sense of the representation of the path to the enlightenment (like for example in "R. Steiner: To read about Christianity as a mystical fact ").

Each of the four gospels delivers a story with slight differences because it describes the development process regarding to one of the four element-principles. Luke's accounts differ from those in Mark and Matthew.

An example is the legend of the "three holy kings" (Casper; Melchior; Balthasar) who followed the five star to see the Jesus-child. This describes the beginning of the first initiation at the end of step 14.
The angel, who announces Maria the birth of the Jesus-child(the Filius Philosophorum or Horus) corrensponses esoterically with the "Venus phase"(2) of step 14. He is the same angel who calls "Christian Rosenkreutz" to the "Chymical wedding", a Cherubim whom also the 'Tarotcard 14' shows.

Later, at the end of the step 15, follows the temptation through the devil, whom also the 'Tarotcard 15' shows.
The " Transfiguration" of Jesus on the mountain marks the step 16, where He meets Moses, who died in the Exodus on step 16, and Elia(:My lord is JHWH).
The garden Getsemane ( Mt. 26; LUKE 22:39-53) on the "Mount of Olives"(hebr. Har haSetim) describes step 17.

A further example out of the "Gospel of John, chapter 18" is the last supper .
The 'last supper' describes the first cycle of the step 18 of the Universal Doctrine. Jesus lies with Judas and Petrus too tables.
Jesus as the spiritual self arranges the 12 spiritual forces around himself.
Jesus gives Judas the morsel of bread. After he had taken the piece of bread, the Satan entered him. Jesus sends him into the night with "What you are about to do, do it quickly", i.e. it the second of five cycles('Saturnus') and Jesus is captured.
In the third phase, the high priests cannot find any guilt at Jesus. (A similar "weighing"(Jupiter-cycle) happens in the rosicrucian 'Chymical wedding' during the third day.)
Also Pilatus cannot find any guilt at Jesus - because Jesus stands fully in the "Word" - end of the phase4).
The spiritual lunar principle reaches its development culmination (Tarotcard 18, silver-coins of Judas) on the step 18.

At phase 1 of step 19, they take off Jesus clothes, and put a "dark red coat" on him. Then they put a crown of thorns on his head, and the soldiers illuded him as "king of the Jews", whose empire is not by this world - he is convicted to the (mystical) death at the cross on the mountain(19,phase 2).

On the first phase of the step 20, the mountain Golgatha stands as a symbol for the successful aspiration into the divine, which "glorifies" the enlightened disciple now(phase 1). During the second cycle he "goes down to the hell" and rises again within the third cycle. On phase four he develops his "white lunaric body".

In gnostic circles circulated the rumor that the church had falsified certain parts of the gospels and changed texts which hindered the worldly spreading of Christianity(in comparison with a yet existing sentences such as: "Dont go to the moors"(Math. 10.5), or sentences such as: ""Here are My Mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in Heaven is My brother, and sister and mother."", or the answer upon "Who is my next?" .....).

A gnostic beleife was that the death of Christ had been falsified from : "My Lord, my Lord, how have You glorified me", to 'Eli Eli why have you deserted me ?'."
(By the way the word "ELI" resembles at the taoist "Julai", the name of the illuminated Taoist.)

That is however hermetically not correct : At the beginning of step 20, the spiritual "mercury phase" with the "glorification" through the "father",the highest spiritual force(1st ray), leads to the dark "Saturnus - phase" (mystic death, therefore says Luke "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit ... and having said thus, he gave up the ghost(Luke 23:46)...and from the sixth hour to the ninth hour lay a large darkness over the country.").
Then follows the "resurrection" out of the 'grave of the matter'(" Jupiter") and the Luna-phase("white robe").
On that follows the "Venus-Cycle" with the mastership(5th initiation, true 'Mahatma').

Also the appearance of " Maria Magdalena", has under the cross a certain secret meaning. The causal body, the higher personality, "dies" under the cross and is transformed. The highest spiritual force(Father; 'Ishvara') dominates the doubly illuminated disciple(U.Doctrine.19).

The resurrection out of the grave has therefore the meaning of the step 20.

The seven initiations were also known to some of the early christian initiates, even if they saw the transfiguration in the light of the person of Jesus Christ as the Logos, ie. of a master, who personifies the second ray of the "love and wisdom" :

In the first letter of 1 John 2.14 stands :
1Jo 2:15 I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jo 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jo 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jo 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jo 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.(U.P.15) (1. Joh. 2.14)

The 12 beatitudes take place on a mountain(a mountain symbolizes the aspiration into the divine).
