How ironic, that almost all people who are being born,live and die without knowing and realizing the most guarded secret in history.Indeed,bless are those very few who realized the Truth in their own lifetimes.
At the age of 30,Jesus ( Joshua,Issa, Isha, Immanuel, Christ, Son of Man,Son of God, The Word ),started His ministry....preaching the good news about the kingdom of God which is within everyone at the same time performing miraculous healings and powerful works.
Jesus had a secret to keep but only finally divulge and reveal only to His most closest disciples,the Apostles.This is why He told His Apostles :
And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that
‘ Seeing they may see and not perceive,
And hearing they may hear and not understand;
Lest they should turn,
And their sins be forgiven them.’ - Jesus (Mark 4:11-12)
"And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples." - Apostle Mark (Mark 4:33-34)
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you." - Jesus (John 16:12-14 )
According to Saint Paul, the people's close-mindedness or blindness...the unbelievers regarding spiritual things is the reason why the mystery of God is still veiled or hidden and only revealed by Jesus on His Apostles and other disciples.
"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them." - Saint Paul ( 2 Corinthians 4:3-4)
"the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints." - Saint Paul (Colossians 1:26 )
"by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets." - Saint Paul (Ephesians 3:4-5)
"Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith" - Saint Paul (Romans 16:25-26)
This mystery of God...the sacret secret can only be known and realized by the help of the Holy Spirit,Spirit of Truth or Helper as Jesus had taught His Apostles.Jesus had promised His Apostles that the Father will send a Helper,Spirit of Truth or Holy Spirit after His crucifiction and resurrection and eventually ascension to Heaven.
"If you love Me, keep My commandments.And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."
“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." - Jesus (John 14:15-20)
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
“And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe." - Jesus (John 14:26-29 )
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me." - Jesus (John 15:26)
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see me no more;of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged." - Jesus (John 16:7-11)
"And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
'Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight." - Apostle Luke (Acts 1:4-9)
The Apostles and other disciples did indeed received power as Jesus had promised to them after they are in constant prayer :
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.- Apostle Luke (Acts 1:12-14)
"When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." - Apostle Luke (Acts 1-4)
Thereafter,the Apostles continue manifesting miracles and powerful works.They continue preaching the good news to people just like Jesus have done during His physical presence with them.We modern people who live on this modern times wonder what have happen to the secret teachings of Jesus regarding the right conditions....the secret operation or mechanism of prayer technique/method that a spiritual aspirant able to manifest the Holy Spirit,Spirit of Truth or Helper on him or her life.We have read in the Acts of Apostles that they manifested the power of the Holy Spirit after they were "constantly in prayer".Constantly,incessantly or persistently could mean a lot of hours on prayer indeed.
Prayer was an important part of Jesus' life. Many times in the Gospels, we read that Jesus prayed or went alone to pray apart from the disciples.We also could noticed in the Gospels that Jesus were always praying for long hours before preaching and performing miracles.
"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." (Mark 1:35)
"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed."(Luke 5:16)
"One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God." (Luke 6:12)
"One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God." (Luke 6:12)
"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." (Mark 1:35)
"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up." (Luke 18:1)
We ask ourselves, what is so especial about prayer? What's in it for me? Still,there is no scientific observation or experiments conducted to study and research extensively the operation or mechanism behind a prayerful person.Modern scientists are still ignorant about what goes on in the internal biological system of a person in prayer or meditation.Of course,modern scientists obserbed with their sophisticated measuring instruments that the brain waves,heart,breathing and blood rates/functions are altered considerably during a praying or meditating monk/yogi/yogini.But the more subtle things,like the seven major energy centers along the spine and head,not to mention the Holy Spirit,which dormantly resides at the base of the spine,coccyx or tailbone (variously called Kundalini in Yoga/Hinduism;Mukalinda in Buddhism;Shekhinah in Kabbalah/Judaism;Sakina in Sufism/Islam;Tao in Taoism or Shabad in Sikism) are still unknown to our modern scientists.
Modern scientists are even still in the dark to find the explanation regarding the phenomena regarding "spontaneous human combustion","acupuncture" and "spontaneous remission" of incurable diseases.
But mystics,prophets,sages,yogis and saints around the world,in all countries from ancient times have known and realized the secret operation and mechanism of prayer or meditation.In the Bible,the secret subtle operation and mechanism behind the workings of the Holy Spirit or Kundalini were carefully written symbolically in the Book of Revelation by Apostle John,the most trusted disciple of Jesus.Those who constantly pray/meditate will overcome/conquer in awakening/activating/evoking the Holy Spirit within him or her from the coccyx into the upper...top of the head,seventh major energy center.
Jesus enumerated the seven spiritual powers and benefits to those who really successfully overcome or conquered in evoking/awakening the Holy Spirit within,which will result also in unveiling the mystery of God.
7. "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." - Revelation 3:21
6."He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name." - Revelation 3:12
5. "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels." - Revelation 3:5
4." And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— ‘ He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels"
as I also have received from My Father" - Revelation 2:26-27
3."He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." - Revelation 2:17
2. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” - Revelation 2:11
1."He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." - Revelation 2:7
The subtle processes of the awakened and ascending Holy Spirit or Kundalini from the first major energy center at the base of the spine to the seventh major energy center,at the top of the head were symbolically written as the seven Seals,seven Trumpets and seven Bowls in the Book of the Revelation.
The moment when the Holy Spirit or Kundalini actually uplifted or activated from the coccyx,there will be a sense in the new...higher state of consciousness as "silence" in about 30 minutes or half an hour.Everything becomes silent or tranquil as the expansion of a higher state of consciousness brought about by the awakened Holy Spirit or Kundalini.
"When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour" - Revelation 8:1
After this silence or expansion of consciousness of the spiritual aspirant,there will be a" revelation",were everything that is hidden...secret or mysterious about human history...about religion...about God....about Life are revealed clearly to the new...transformed...higher cosmic divine state of consciousness of an Anointed One (Christ), Awakened One, Enlightened One (Buddha) or Holy One.
"but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets." - Revelation 10:7
After this "revelation",there will be many different sound and lighting effects on the high state of the consciousness of the transformed new human.
"Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth." - Revelation 16:17-18
The eventual...final union or spiritual marriage of the opposite ,the Holy Spirit (feminine aspect or divine universal force at the coccyx) and the Father (masculine aspect or divine universal force at the top of the head) are symbolically written as the marriage between the Lamb and His Wife.
"Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” - Revelation 19:7-9
At this stage of the spiritual journey on the kingdom of God which is within all ourselves,the water of life,nectar,ambrosia,soma or elixir of life will start bubbling forth from within to cause blissful..happy...higher state of being....possessed with a new state of consciousness as if you are "now" living a new heaven or new earth.Your ordinary state of mind or consciousness are gradually and completely transformed which is so glorious...amazing and wonderful to behold and witness within yourself.
All Things Made New
"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving,abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” - Revelation 21:1-8
Indeed,the Book of Revelation is a book about the wonderful inner space of the spiritual aspirant or initiate.This spiritual book is made to those very few out there who wanted to confirm their spiritual journey and to those who are interested to enter the door of everlasting...immortal...bless spiritual life.
May all be awaken from our deep slumber.Peace & Blessings be upon us all.
