Chapter 13
Section 13
Out of the chemicalizing mass of God's creative com- pounds, we may see outlines of a new life, a new heaven and a new earth traced on the murky background of grime and dust and battle smoke.
Earth's catyclism, the world war, has rent the veil of illusion, and many have come forth from the grave, and with the eye behind the eyes behold the "Real."
Within the "Temple, not made with hands," there dwells the spiritual Ego — a Son of the living God, preach- ing in the wilderness of doubt and error, "Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation and now the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
"There is a spirit in man and the wisdom of the Almighty giveth it understanding."
[123]
THE LAKE OF HELL-FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
THE lower portion of the torso, bowels, etc., is called "hell," a "grave or lake," many times in the Scrip- tures. Sulphur is a product of brimstone. There is more or less sulphur in all foodstuffs. Over eating results in an over supply of sulphur, i. e.t brimstone. Over eat- ing causes acidity. A portion of the food, failing to di- gest, ferments, and acid results. The acid, uniting with sulphur causes heat, fire, fever; hence hell, fire and brim- stone are chemical statements.
The vital force, or fluids of the body, is the Soul that is injured, devitalized, destroyed in the poisons of the intestinal tract called Egypt and Sodom.
Thus can a man lose his soul in hell, fire and brim- stone, here and now.
But, "As by man came death into the world, so by man came also the resurrection of the dead," seed.
"Let the wicked man forsake his ways" (cease to eat of the fruit of the tree of life) , "and return unto the Lord who will abundantly pardon," and thus save his soul. All who bodily die lose their soul, for, says Job, "As the soul of a beast goeth downward, at death, so doth the soul of man."
Certainly, for "The wages of sin (ignorance) is death."
But the soul is not the spiritual Ego, and man is body, soul and spirit. When the "spirit in man" receives the "wisdom of the Almighty" and understands, it is then able to lift up and transmute the soul fluids and disinte-
?rate both fluid and flesh, as the ascension of the seed esus, or Elisha, or Enoch are made to show, in the fables and parables.
"All that I do ye may do."
[124]
PHYSICAL REGENERATION
THE inner eye — uthe eye behind the eye" — just above and attached to the pineal gland by delicate electric wires, or nerves, is called Optic Thalamus, and means "Light, or Eye of the chamber."
In the Greek, it means "The light of the World." "The Candlestick," "Wise Virgins," "The Temple Needs no light of the Sun," "If thine eyes be Single, Thy Whole Body shall be Full of Light," and other texts in the New Testament refer to the single eye or Optic.
Let us now search for the oil that feeds this wonderful lamp, the All-Seeing Eye.
Christ Jesus is made to say "I Am the Light of the World." The word "world" comes from "whirl," to turn as a wheel, to gyrate, etc.
The human body is a certain rate of activity, motion or whirl, i. e., world, and light of the world and the temple that needs no light of sun or moon refer to the body "Temple of God," when there is "oil in the lamp."
Error is not sanctified by age. It behooves every lover of truth to cast aside prejudice and dogma and find truth.
Until we know the meaning of the words "Jesus" and "Christ" we will not understand the Bible which was written in Greek and Hebrew and translated and retrans- lated all down through the centuries.
Constantine was told by the priests of his time that there was no forgiveness of crimes like those he was guilty of and so this Roman Emperor devised the
flan of salvation in order that the blood of the innocent esus (or Christ) might save him from eternal damna- tion. An easy way out for this monster, and all the other blood-smeared tyrants, Kings, Emperors and Napoleons of finance, competition and war, from Pharaoh to the present-day rulers.
[125]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
The word Jesus is from Ichthos, Greek for fish. The word "Christ" means a substance of oil consistency, an ointment or smear. Varnish or paints are used to pre- serve or save wood or paper or cloth — hence they become Saviors.
At about the age of twelve, Jesus was found in the temple arguing with the doctors or teachers. The word "doctor" is from Latin "docere," to teach.
Every month in the life of every man or woman, after puberty, when the moon is in the sign that the sun was in at the birth of the individual, there is a psycho-physical seed or "Son of Man" born in the Solar Plexus or the pneumo-gastric plexus which in the ancient text was called the "House of Bread."
Bethlehem, from Beth, a house, and lehem, bread. "Cast thy bread upon the waters and it shall return to thee after many days." Waters are the blood and nerve fluids of the body that carries the fish on its "Divine Jour- ney" to regenerate, save and redeem man. Nazareth means to cook. Nazarene means cooked. Cook means to prepare. Any materialized thing is bread, Nazareth, mass, maso, or dough. Thus the Catholic Mass. Also Mas-on. It will now be made plain why the Masons and Catholics are not in agreement, for our letter N is an abbreviation of the 14th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Nun, a fish. By addnig N to Maso, the riddle of cooked or prepared fish was made so plain that the priesthood strenuously objected, and thus developed friction between the church and Masonry.
The disciples were fishermen. The early Christians used a fish as their secret symbol. Money to pay taxes was taken from the mouth of a fish. Bread and fish were increased until twelve baskets full were left, etc. God prepared a fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah means dove. Dove means peace — the germ descending from the gray matter of the brain (see baptism of John). The storm means sex desire. The life seed was thus saved. "He that is born of God cannot sin (or fall short of knowl- edge) for his seed (fish) remaineth in him." — John. The age of puberty is about twelve. Up to that age, a child
[126]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
does not understand moral responsibility. "The first born" means the first seed or fish. Pharaoh, sex desire always tries to destroy the first born.
Before we explain the baptism in Jordan and the chris- tening and the crucifixion, etc., let us briefly explain Moses, Joshua, Nile, Pharaoh and the children of Israel.
Egypt means the dark lower part of the body. That part of the body below the Solar Plexus is Egypt, or the Kingdom of Earth. All above the center constitutes the Kingdom of Heaven. ("The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.") The Manger, or Bethlehem, is the cen- ter, or the balance.
Nile, Moses and Pharaoh's daughter, all refer to gen- eration. (See overflow of Nile). It rises in the moun- tains of the moon. Moses means "drawn from the water." Fish are drawn from water. "There are two fishes in our sea" — Vaughn. See Sign of Pisces, two fishes.
"Joshua the Son of Nun." Nun is Hebrew for fish.
Moses was the physical or generative fish.
Moses' laws were on the physical plane.
Joshua means "God of Salvation," and salvation comes from saliva or salivation. Sal is salt which Saves. "If the salt loses its Savor" i. e. Savior, wherewith shall it be salted?" Saliva saves the body by digesting (or pre- paring) the food. Saliva is a smear or ointment, and so Joshua compares with Christ as Moses compares with Jesus. Moses died on Mt. Nebo. Nebo means under- standing. Joshua took the place left vacant by the death of Moses. Jesus was baptized of John in Jordan — the fluids, Christ — substance of the spinal cord and became "my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." The word "John" I O H N N E S means "Soul" or "fluids of the body" and not the Ego or Spiritual Man. So when the body dies, the fluids die — thus man loses his soul when he loses his body. To prevent the loss of soul and flesh is the mission of the Son, or Seed, of God, or the Son of man.
But the question will be asked — what or where is the
[127]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
source or origin of this seed or redeeming Son? We answer: "Ether, Spirit or God."
Esse, Universal intelligence, or It may be used. It breathes into man the breath of life. This elixir is carried through lungs into arteries, or air carriers, where it unites with the inorganic cell-salts, materializes (cooked) and forms granules, and is then deposited as flesh and bone.
The study of Astrology, Biology and Biochemistry, added to Physiology, will lead one into the great Alchem- ical laboratory of the "Fearfully and wonderfully made" human temple — the temple made without sound of saw or hammer.
Before the Neophyte can fully realize the power of the Divine Eye within his own brain, he must understand the meaning of Or especially in its relation to Word and Jordan.
Or is gold, not metal, but the "precious substance" — the seed. Dan is Hebrew for Judge, therefore the Crea- tive Power operating through the precious substance pro- duces Judgment, the man of good judgment or wisdom.
The upper brain is the reservoir of this Or and is the gray matter or "Precious Ointment" or Christ.
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. All things were (or is) created by it" etc., etc.
The "Lost Word" is a symbol of the generative or animal thought eating the fruit of the Tree of Life — thus destroying or losing the gold, "or," of the body.
Hiram means "high born," or the seed destined to reach the pineal gland and "Single Eye."
Tyre means a rock. By the conservation and trans- mutation of the sex substance the pineal gland becomes firm and hard and is, in the fable, called rock (Tyre). "The wise man built his house, Beth or body, upon a rock." So here we have the explanation of Hiram Abiff. Abiff is derived from the word Abid — month.
Hiram Abiff (there are some who will understand) was resurrected during the delay caused by searching for his body: in other words a month passed and another seed was born which the candidate for initiation is ad- monished not to slay.
[128]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
The upper brain furnishes all that man contains, or is. Jesus was not a Savior until he was Christed of John in the Jordan. Then he became the "Beloved Son."
Why was the baptism necessary? Because there are two fish, one was Jesus the Carpenter, the man. The other, the Christed Jesus, the Son of God. The Christ substance gave the electric or magnetic power to the seed to cross the nerves at Galgotha without disintegrating or dying.
To crucify, means to add to or increase a thousand fold. When electric wires are crossed, they set on fire all inflammable substances near them. When the Christed seed crossed the nerve at Galgotha, the vail of the temple was rent and there was an earthquake, and the dead came forth, i. e., the generative cells of the body were quick- ened or regenerated.
The crucifixion or crossing of the life-seed gives power to vibrate the pineal gland at a rate that causes the "light of the chamber" to fill the "whole body with light" and send its vibration out along the optic nerve to the physical eye and thus heal the blind.
[129]
THIRTEEN, THE OPERATION OF WISDOM,
THE number thirteen is unlucky for ignorance only. All so-called laws of nature may be reduced to thirteen.
The origin of words and their application vary widely. Thus the origin of twelve is circle or completeness, or without break or sin; that is complete. All operations that produce something may be called twelve, being com- plete in order to produce, the product is therefore thir- teen. Thus all machines or factories symbol twelve and the product thirteen.
THE ZODIAC
There are twelve constellations, the central suns of which constitute the signs of the Zodiac.
One sign rises every two hours, or so appears to our sense, because the rotation of earth causes the phenom- enon, and the earth, or sun, makes thirteen.
THE HUMAN BODY
There are twelve functions of the human body and the seed, or psycho-physical germ, born in the solar plexus every 29^ days. So then there are twelve moons and a fraction in 365 days. The pneumo gastric nerve, vagus nerve, that comes down from cerebellum across (a cross) the medulla oblongata branches out at the lungs (pneumo) and at the stomach (gastric), and is called "The Tree of Life" (thirteen letters), also pneumo gastric (thirteen letters).
There are twelve mineral salts in the blood and blood itself — the product — thirteen.
DAVID'S THIRTEEN SONS
1st Chr., 14th ch., 3d ver. "And David took more wives and concubines at Jerusalem ; and David begat more sons and daughters."
[130]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
Here follows the names of thirteen children. THIRTEEN CHILDREN OF JACOB
The 29th and 30th chapters of Genesis record the birth of eleven sons and one daughter, Dinah. The 35th chap- ter records the birth of Benjamin, the 12th son and 13th child.
Jacob, in Hebrew, is circle, or to follow after, also represented in Hebrew symbology by a circle of men, each one with hand holding the heel of the one in front, and thus describing a circle.
The origin of the allegory is founded in the rotation of earth and the apparent rising of one of the Signs of the Zodiac every two hours, making twelve, and the earth itself thirteen.
The esoteric meaning is based in the marvelous oper- ation of the wonderfully made human body. All of the parables, fables or allegories of the human organism are related to 13.
Moses, Joshua, Jesus, Christ and all the characters of the Scriptures are symbols of the psycho-physical seed that is born in, or out of the solar "manger" in the center of the body.
Twelve symbols a circle, in Hebrew, meaning complete. The product of twelve is thirteen. Galilee is a circle. The Sea of Galilee, circle of water, or fluid, hence circulation of the blood and fluids of the body. So Jacob may be applied to the body.
Rachel means Ewe, or Mary, Eve or the manger (solar plexus) where Mary and Jesus were found. There is no U in the Hebrew alphabet, hence no double U. So V is the letter, or double V— hence EVE or EWE— i. e., Rachel. The solar plexus is symboled by many names in the Bible, all female, whether they refer to a man or a woman, because it gives birth to the seed. This won- drous redeeming seed is exactly the same in male and female and plays no part in generation, but is the "Plan of Salvation" whereby the child "born in sin" may be redeemed and saved. Thus, "In my Kingdom (regenera- tion) there is no marrying," etc.
[131]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
For key to Benjamin, the entire chapter, Genesis 35th, should be studied carefully in the light of the new reve- lations.
Sixth verse, 35th chapter: "So Jacob came to Luz, the same is Bethel" (or Beth-lehem), house of bread, the solar plexus. "He built there an altar (same as "man- ger" or plexus, — womb) and called the place "El-beth- el," (God's house of God) because there God was re- vealed, etc.
Sixteenth verse: "And they journeyed from Bethel and there was some distance to come to Eprath" (fruit, posterity, Bethlehem, seed).
Here Rachael "had hard labor" and gave birth to Ben- oni and died. Ben-oni means "child of my sorrow," but Jacob called him Ben-Ja-min, "Son of my right hand."
Sixteenth to twentieth verse: "And Rachael died and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethle- hem) . "And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; "The same is the pillar of Rachael's grave unto this day." The solar plexus, chamber or manger is the pillar.
The death of Rachael, the mother, simply means that thirteen completes the number of seeds born during the thirteen moon months. See chapter on The Passover.
Great latitude must be given to writers of parables, fables and allegories.
Genesis, 35th chapter, 10th verse: "And God said unto him, thy name is Jacob (the circle), thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy
name."
Israel here clearly points to the seeds, thirteen, one every moon, that cross Jordan. Twelfth verse, 35th chapter: "And to thy seed after thee will I give the land."
Jacob (circle) means complete operation; and thirteen the seed, Israel, the product.
JOSHUA AND JERICHO
In the book of Joshua (Son of Nun), a fish — born in the solar plexus twelve times in 365 days and a fraction, see Leap Year, it is recorded that the host marched
[132]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
around the walls of Jericho once daily for six days and seven times on the seventh — thirteen.
Jericho, captured by the British troops, 1917, is situ- ated thirteen miles outside the walls of Jerusalem. JESUS AND THE TWELVE DlSCIPLES
