THE MAGI -c-1995-mahaksadasa

 

Two thousand years ago, three mystic travelers practicing worship of the Supreme Lord, became enlightened by this service. Through the science of astrological calculations, this Object of their worship led them from Kurdistan, Afghanistan, and India, to Bayt Lahm. Gathering spices, exotic resins, and gold for sacrificial offering, they were led to the birthsite of a simple newborn in very humble surroundings. Although a royal heir to both Davidian and Solomonic branches of the dynasty of Israel, this child was born in bondage to Rome. Yet, because these three travelers were devoted to the Lord, they were led to His most confidential servant, Lord Jesus Christ. Celebrating his birth with sweet honour, they returned to their homes, not at all deviating from the religion which satisfied their desires for redemption. They knew of NO King James, Aquinas, nor of Christian Coalitions, yet they practiced yoga, became unified in purpose and service to the one Supreme Personality of Godhead.

 

Many of today's so-called christians are very uncomfortable with a description of the Maji and their religious practices. They are more uncomfortable with historical data concerning Lord Jesus Christ's appearance, his Essene religious practice of healing arts, his travels between the ages of twelve to thirty, etc. For some strange reason, they say God incarnated as His son and studied carpentry for more than half his years on earth.

 

These same people have elevated a demoniac King James of England to a position of spiritual authority, thus impersonalizing the greatest of philosophers. Lord Jesus Christ never says that he IS his Father, and when his disciples tried to exalt his position, he always defers to his Father. By nullifying the Father, one nullifies the son and the wonderful relationship existing between Father and Son, the relationship Lord Jesus Christ tries to share with the world.

 

The present christianity espoused by the bigoted, unloving, uncaring materialists is not only useless, it is most offensive to those desiring to follow the precepts of Lord Jesus Christ. Using the banner of the cross (the weapon used to kill him), they villify the followers of Muhammed, Sri Chaitanya, and others who are not against their so-called lord. They say that Jesus is the absolute, only salvation, whereas Lord Jesus Christ admonishes his disciples' criticisms of outsiders, saying, "Those not against are with us."

 

Fanatics want to convert by force and coersion. Lord Jesus Christ converts by free choice and love. Those who think christians are better and more loved by God than others who are more oriented to His purpose and devoted to the Lord are offenders to the Holy Names and are rejected. Lord Jesus speaks of loving enemies, what to speak of loving his children who lovingly call Him by other Names.

 

Lord Jesus Christ is the son of David via Joseph, and the son of Solomon via the maternity of Mary, the Axumite Hebrew. Scripture concerning his early travels exist in Bengal, Tibet, Yucatan, Iraq, etc., yet King James hid them from his professional writers contracted to translate. A concoction called "trinity" has been placed in the minds of modern christians, frustrated into calling Him a "mystery".

 

Although trinity is clear, that is, three distinct and separate aspects of divinity, (internal, external, and marginal potencies), singular in purpose, an impersonalist hodgepodge philosophy which keeps all people away from the Lord is in place. If the son IS the Father, then neither can exist. The truth is clear, only the concoctions by the king are "mysterious".

 

Lord Jesus Christ teaches to develop our love with his Father, and the Father, via Paramatma (holy spirit), teaches us internally to love His son as His Own. Simple. Render to the king what is his, taxes, honour, etc., but spiritual authority placed on unworthy persons is eternal suicide.

Haribol. Yes, almost immediately, the destruction began. the book burnings began in 315 AD, and all the writings by female followers were expunged, which is most unfortunate. Men of the day were illeterate, the fishermen, the laborers, the policemen, only the architects and physicians had any erudition. However, women were quite literate as the arts were taught ot them.

 

So when Mary of magdalia or Salome, the midwife, and others, had their diaries and journals destroyed by the male dominated HRE, much was indeed lost.

 

Fragments have been discovered, from nag hamadhi to other more obscure sources, not least of which are records kept by Rome itself, secular records kept by record-keeping fanatics, concerning the phenomena of the essene known as emmanuel ben yusif.

some of the early Christian (gnostic) texts from Nag-Hamadi library are very, very dark. Reading them I have a distinct feeling they talk about Lucifer ("Prince of Light", later developed into "the devil" by Christians) worship. Lucifer cults are very ancient (predate Christianity by at least 1000 years) and looks like some of these guys used Jesus of Nazareth teachings to further their own cause. The religious diversity 2000 years ago was far, far more complicated than most Christian (or Jewish) theologians would like to admit.

Haribol. Your comment is valid, as the gnostics gradually decayed into assassination cults. However, this is not because of the fragmented scripture that was uncovered in the early 20th century, it is because of the usual mundane interpretation of such scripture.

 

As far as "dark" goes, and the satanic implication, there is none worse that the canonization cult of the powers that be which manipulated writings of the era to come up with a diametrically opposes, sort-of anti-theology. Also, there is no greater assassination cult than your run of the mill churchianity that offensively bears the Name of Lord Jesus Christ. The prominance of the weapon against Christ (the cross) and the glorification of the weapon, and the cannibalistic bathing in His blood anti-theology far outweighs any discrepancy they may point to to invalidate extra-biblical writings.

 

The Nag Hamadhi is not that important a discovery, largely due to the deterioration and fragmentation. Its importance is that it shows that there are other sources of the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ outside the confines of the biblical presentation of emperors and kings. My favorite source for such theological studies is a text known as Kebra Nagast, not a gnostic writing, rather an extension of handed down theology from the time of King Solomon. Kebra Nagast is the basis for abyssinian christianity, an orthodoxy sometimes known as Copt, and more afro-centric rather than the standard euro-centric depiction of the blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus.

 

Religious diversity aside, the Dark is always present alongside the light. In the Vedas, we have Lord Yama, Lord Siva, and even Lord Nrsimhadeva, as possible candidates for a "lucifer" label. Just look at some of the commentary here by christians against the depiction of the Lord of Prahlada. (Note: Even Prahlada and Bali, two of twelve main authorities on bhakti yoga, come to the world as "asuras", or members of the family of the dark side. The dark side is half of the descendants of Lord Brahma, but dark is not necessarily evil or against the purpose of devotional service. The dark side was always present in Lord Jesus' teachings as well, but the gist of the empowered representatives of the Supreme Lord and their teachings is that both the light and the darkness is below the desired goal, which is to transcend all the dualities of this world.
