SOME REAL IDEAS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND RELIGION |
WHY =D7=A2=D7=A9=D7=95=D7=94=D7=99, I.E. JESUS, IS NOT THE JEWISH MESSIAH IF=
=D7=94=D7=95=D7=94=D7=99 is the LORD
Many Christians claim that =D7=94=D7=95=D7=94=D7=99 is the LORD and Elohim, =
while his son
=D7=A2=D7=A9=D7=95=D7=94=D7=99 is the Messiah.
All Jews reject this and rightfully so. If it were true, don't you
think there would be at least one passage in the old testament to that
effect, saying, oh, by the way, =D7=94=D7=95=D7=94=D7=99 has a son named =D7=
=A2=D7=A9=D7=95=D7=94=D7=99 and he will
come as the Messiah?
But there is no such passage, not even the hint of such a passage, and
so the theory of these =E2=80=9CChristians=E2=80=9D is rightfully rejected b=
y almost
all Jews as unfounded according to the Jewish religion.
Now, my hypothesis, however distasteful it may be to Jews, is a
possibility they cannot altogether deny if they wish to be thought of
as rational human beings.
I claim that Moshe did not know the true identity of the LORD, and
this is signified by the fact that the LORD would not allow Moshe to
see HIS face, according to the account of Moshe's enlightenment
experience that is given in Exodus itself.
I claim that the true name of the LORD is =D7=A2=D7=A9=D7=95=D7=94=D7=99 or =
JHVSA or Jehoshua
Moshiach, aka Jesus Christ. I claim that JHVH is the Divine Name of
the angel Gabriel, even as I AM THAT I AM =3D EHYEH ASHER EHYEH =3D AHJH
ASR AHJH is the Divine Name of the angel Michael, who is the angel of
the LORD seen by Moshe in the burning bush. When it says that the
LORD knew Moshe face to face, it means that HE knew him face to face
through HIS angel, namely Michael as I AM THAT I AM. It is from
Michael that Moshe received his prophetic utterances, known
collectively as the Torah, even as Mohammed received his prophetic
utterances, known as the Koran, from the angel Gabriel.
The LORD HIMSELF was very clear that Moshe could not see HIS face,
i.e. know who and what HE truly is, and live. That is why the
teaching of Jehoshua Moshiach emphasized the willingness to die to see
G-D. Even Jesus Himself had to die in order to return to His own
rightful estate as the LORD G-D. The angel of the LORD, Michael =3D
Mahavatar Babaji =3D ABBA =3D the Heavenly Father of Jehoshua Moshiach,
while He was incarnated as Jesus Christ. Hence the statement of
Jesus: =E2=80=9CBelieve me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: o=
r
else believe me for the very works=E2=80=99 sake.=E2=80=9D (John 14:11)
My conjecture, if true, points to the reconciliation of the three
great monotheistic religions. The alternative is endless fighting,
for none of the three will relinquish their claims. The Jews suffer
more than anyone from the sin of Moshe in fabricating the name of the
LORD. The penalty for that sin, multiplied by the ongoing
participation of all Jews, was the destruction of the Temple and
diaspora, i.e. sangsara, that will last forever, unless the Jews
somehow discover the Truth and repent.
As a half Jew myself, I am not just proselytizing or evangelizing. I
am simply sharing what seems to work for me in finding a Truth of the
Bible that is not monstrous, but is instead both believable and
intelligible. Moreover, as a physicist interested in the foundations
of quantum theory, I am interested in finding a Truth that will answer
our deepest questions about reality. I believe I have found it.
THE SIMPLE ABBREVIATED TRUTH ABOUT G-D
The simple abbreviated truth is that Moses could only see the backside
of the LORD he saw in the burning bush, and so he could not discern
His true identity. You can't identify someone from behind, especially
if you don't already know who they are. The true name of the LORD was
and is JEHOSHUA, or JHVSA, not JHVH. The entire Torah and all
secondary literature is in a sense a great big fraud, and you can see
that if you go back to its origin in the actual experience of Moses as
described within the Torah itself. Dogma is only as good as the depth
of enlightenment of the one or ones fashioning the dogma.
BTW, Moses did see the angel of the LORD in the burning bush, and it
was the LORD through that same angel who knew him face to face. Never,
according to the Torah, was there face to face contact between the
LORD Himself and Moses. The LORD absolutely forbade that.
SCRIPTURAL PROOF OF MY CONJECTURE
From: http://www.answering-christianity.com/godtitle.htm :
=E2=80=9CMighty God=E2=80=9D in Isaiah 9:6 is =E2=80=9CEl Gibor=E2=80=9D. T=
his is not exactly =E2=80=9CMighty
God,=E2=80=9D but close. =E2=80=9CStrong" is more correct (but it is differ=
ent from
strong of =E2=80=9Chazak=E2=80=9D). Here both El and Gibor are nouns =E2=80=
=93 this is short
full spell is =E2=80=9CEl Hu Gibor.=E2=80=9D
Anyway =E2=80=9CEl Gibor=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9CGabriel=E2=80=9D are same thi=
ng. They both mean
=E2=80=9CStrong God.=E2=80=9D =E2=80=9CGabriel=E2=80=9D is an angel's name i=
n the Bible.
The word =E2=80=9CGibor=E2=80=9D in Isaiah 9:6 and the word =E2=80=9CGibor=
=E2=80=9D of Gabriel have
exactly the same root, and they are both the same word. The word
itself can also be translated as =E2=80=9CMan of God.=E2=80=9D [END QUOTE]
So, the very passage used by Christians to prove that Yeshua is the
Jewish Messiah, instead proves that Jews and Christians alike worship
the Antichrist, the Abomination of Desolation, namely the angel
Gabriel in the holy place of the LORD, where he ought not to sit.
Now the Gabriel that responds to the invocations of Jews and
Christians alike is NOT the holy angel Gabriel, for he would not
imposter the LORD. Rather, it is an astral plane imposter of the
angel Gabriel, who is himself a fallen angel of the worst sort.
All of the monstrosities of the old testament, as well as those same
monstrosities carried over into the new testament by the
misunderstandings of the disciples of Jesus, are the work of this
fallen angel imposter of the LORD.
Now, this is not to say that the formula in Isaiah is entirely false.
In Judaism the usual designation for the one that is worshipped is
=E2=80=9CLORD God.=E2=80=9D God, or El, aka Eloah, aka Elohim, is the suffi=
x found in
the name of each Archangel: Micha-el, Gibor-el, etc. Furthermore, it
is well-known that ALLAH comes from AL ILAH, where ILAH is equated to
ELOAH.
So, Islam is that religion wherein the angel of the LORD can actually
be the LORD, but that is not the case with Judaism, which is a
Messianic religion geared toward the advent of Jehoshua Moshiach, the
LORD, designated by the letters JHVSA. One can only conclude that the
child referred to in Isaiah 9:6 is Mohammad. He is called a child in
the same sense that Moshe is sometimes referred to as a child. There
may be a reference by implication to Moshiach, yet another child, but
the passage literally refers to Mohammad, the messenger of ALLAH
through the angel Gibor-el, whose Divine Name is JHVH.
Moshe was confused about this and all subsequent Jewish prophets and
rabbinical commentators were also confused. Moshe's confusion began
with his enlightenment experience, wherein he saw the LORD in the
burning bush, but only HIS back parts could he see. From that limited
experience, he could not properly identify the LORD.
HOW THE DELUSION THAT JHVH IS THE LORD BEGAN
I don't see a contradiction between the fact that Eve said she had
gotten a man from JHVH and the fact that the Patriarchs did not know
the name JHVH. Eve's delusion was that the LORD was JHVH. She got
that from the serpent. Moshe ben Adam inherited that delusion from
his line of Jewish mothers. What could be more natural. The delusion
had gone into remission at the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but
resurfaced again with Moshe.
Eve's belief that JHVH is the LORD is like an Oedipal complex. Its
remission at the time of the Patriarchs is like the period of
latency. Its re-emergence at the time of Moshe is like puberty, where
the Oedipal complex resurfaces, but this time resolved and integrated
into the social aspect of life. The question is whether the
integration into social life is adequate or psychotic. That is a
matter of personal judgment. I believe that the monstrosities of the
old testament tip the balance scale toward the psychotic. It would be
far better from the spiritual point of view to just uproot the Oedipal
complex altogether and establish a new foundation for the structure of
the psyche. That is the idea of a new testament and covenant.
THE SECRET DOCTRINE OF MONOTHEISM UNVEILED
Exodus
33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh
unto his friend.
33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I
will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious
to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show
mercy.
33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man
see me, and live.
33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou
shalt stand upon a rock:
33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I
will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand
while I pass by:
33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back
parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Deuteronomy
34:10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses,
whom the LORD knew face to face...
Now, how are we to understand this apparent contradiction? It is
essential, for the understanding of who and what G-D is depends upon
it. On the one hand, the LORD speaks to Moses face to face, and yet
Moses cannot see His face at all, but only His backside. Before we
make an attempt at an exegesis, we must consider also the following:
Exodus
3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out
of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned
with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight,
why the bush is not burnt.
3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto
him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said,
Here am I.
3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy
feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
3:6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he
was afraid to look upon God.
3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of
Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me
unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say
unto them?
3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt
thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Now, before going further we must consider one more piece of the
puzzle:
Exodus
6:1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do
to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a
strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
6:2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the
name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
6:4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them
the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were
strangers.
6:5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom
the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
Moses saw only the backside of the LORD G-D, which means that he could
not really discern His true identity. Moses did see the angel of the
LORD, and then it says that God, not G-D, spoke unto Moses and
identified Himself as I AM THAT I AM, or AHJH ASR AHJH. From this and
the further revelation in Exodus 6:3, Moses and later other Rabbis
built up a doctrine to the effect that JHVH was the true name of the
LORD G-D. Later, they decided that JHVH was unutterable and should be
replaced by the emphatic form of Adonai, which is ADNJ. Meanwhile the
name of the LORD known to the Patriarchs was declared to be El
Shaddai, or AL SDJ.
Now, here is my conjecture:
The LORD that Moses actually heard speaking from the bush was not
JHVH, but rather JHVSA, or Jehoshua. It is easy to see how Moses
could have conflated the names, since they are so similar and Moses
could not really discern the true identity of the LORD G-D. All the
other names are names of various Lords, or Archangels, who are
manifestations of the LORD G-D. AHJH ASR AHJH =3D Michael, the angel of
the LORD. JHVH =3D Gabriel, second in command. ADNJ =3D Raphael, the
third of the angels who appeared to Abraham. AL SDJ =3D Michael, once
again. The LORD spoke to Moses face to face through his angel,
Michael, in the name and form of AHJH ASR AHJH. The LORD G-D Himself
informed Moses that Moses could not by any means see His face, or know
His true identity (at that time, because He did not yet wish to be
revealed).
Moshiach =3D Archangel Michael =3D angel of the LORD =3D Krishna =3D Mahavat=
ar
Babaji =3D Abba =3D Heavenly Father of Jesus =3D Master of Jesus while Jesus=
was incarnate =3D Servant of Jehoshua, whenever Jesus abides in His true
estate as the LORD G-D. The LORD G-D has no body, and hence when He
wishes to appear with form, He must either incarnate or appear through
His angel or any of the lesser angels. Angels do have form and
function =E2=80=93 that is their purpose. They are not ephemeral spirits, a=
s
some Christians believe.
Mahavatar Babaji as Krishna empowered Brahma to create this universe.
Hence the knowledge of the LORD G-D has to do with liberation from
this material world.

In addition to realizing Mind, two other things are necessary for the
attainment of Buddhahood. The first is the Great Refusal to worship
Self or Atma. Self-Realization does not mean worship at the level of
Self or Atma. Quite the contrary. The reason is that Self or Atma is
implicated in the material creation of Brahma, the Creator. To be
Self-satisfied is called Narcissism. One must be dissatisfied with
Self and with the entire material creation. That is the First Noble
Truth of the Buddha. It is that alone which enables you to go
higher.
The second requirement for Buddhahood is that one must refuse to
worship themultiplicity of Gods, which are underlings to the LORD, who
is G-D. Even =E2=80=9CThe Mighty God=E2=80=9D of Isaiah 9:6, who is =D7=99=
=D7=94=D7=95=D7=94, or JHVH, or
Jehovah, must not be worshipped, for He is only the angel named Gibor-
El, or Gabriel. Only the true LORD, who is =D7=99=D7=94=D7=95=D7=A9=D7=A2, =
or JHVSA, or
Jehoshua Moshiach, is to be worshipped. Jehoshua Moshiach is also the
hidden G-D, or Geometry of Divinity, which is the sum total of the
knowledge of the universe.
THE PROBLEM IN A NUTSHELL
The following quote is from:
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=3D261&letter=3DI&search=3D.=
...
In the order of greatness Isaiah is placed immediately after Moses by
the Rabbis; in some respects Isaiah surpasses even Moses, for he
reduced the commandments to six: honesty in dealing; sincerity in
speech; refusal of illicit gain; absence of corruption; aversion for
bloody deeds; contempt for evil (Mak. 24a). Later he reduced the six
to two=E2=80=94justice and charity (ib.). The chief merit of Isaiah's
prophecies is their consoling character, for while Moses said, =E2=80=9CThou=
shalt perish in the midst of the nation,=E2=80=9D Isaiah announced
deliverance. Ezekiel's consoling addresses compared with Isaiah=E2=80=99s a=
re
as the utterances of a villager to the speech of a courtier (Hag.
14a). Therefore consolation is awaiting him who sees Isaiah in a
dream (Ber. 57b). [END QUOTE]
So, you see, here is the problem in a nutshell. The rabbis indeed
departed from Torah and followed Isaiah instead. Isaiah's God is
Gibor-El or Gabriel (see Isaiah 9:6). It is undoubtedly true that
Moshe never wrote down the Torah, but that it was done by later
scribes and rabbis, who also had accepted the God of Isaiah and
rejected the LORD of Moshe. Hence they used the Tetragrammaton, which
is the Divine Name of the angel Gabriel, in place of the true name of
the LORD.
The rabbinical tradition and whole of modern Jewry, except perhaps for
full Torah Jews and the few who have accepted Jehoshua (Jesus) as
Moshiach, have in essence forsaken the LORD of Moshe in favor of the
God of Isaiah. From this false idol they derive great consolation and
the sense that as Jews they can do no wrong. How sadly mistaken they
are.
FURTHER SCRIPTURAL PROOF OF MY CONJECTURE
=46rom =E2=80=9CA History of God,=E2=80=9D Karen Armstrong, 1993, pp. 68-71:=
Philo was a Platonist and had a distinguished reputation as a
rationalist philosopher in his own right. ... He could see no
incompatability with his God and the God of the Greeks. It must be
said, however, that Philo=E2=80=99s God seems very different from Yahweh. F=
or
one thing, Philo seemed embarrassed by the historical books of the
Bible, which he tried to turn into elaborate allegories: Aristotle,
it will be recalled, had considered history unphilosophical. His God
has no human qualities: it is quite incorrect, for example, to say
that he is =E2=80=9Cangry.=E2=80=9D All we can know about God is the bare f=
act of his
existence. Yet, as a practicing Jew, Philo did believe that God had
revealed himself to the prophets. How had this been possible?
Philo solved the probem by making an important distinction betyween
God=E2=80=99s essence (ousia), which is entirely incomprehensible, and his
activities in the world, which he called his =E2=80=9Cpowers=E2=80=9D (dynam=
eis) or
=E2=80=9Cenergies=E2=80=9D (energeiai). ...Two of these powers were especia=
lly
important. Philo called them the Kingly power, which reveals God in
the order of the universe, and the Creative power, whereby God reveals
himself in the blessings he bestows upon humanity. Neither of these
powers is to be confused with the divine essence (ousia), which
remains shrouded in impenetrable mystery. They simply enable us to
catch a glimpse of a reality which is beyond anything we can
conceive. Sometimes Philo speaks of God=E2=80=99s essential being (ousia)
flanked by the Kingly and Creative powers in a kind of trinity. When
he interprets the story of Yahweh's visit to Abraham at Mamre with the
two angels, for example, he argues that this is an allegorical
presentation of God=E2=80=99s ousia =E2=80=93 He Who Is =E2=80=93 with the t=
wo senior powers.
J [editor of the OT =E2=80=93 JPED] would have been astonished by this and,
indeed, Jews have always found Philo=E2=80=99s conception of God somewhat
inauthentic. Christians, however, would find him enormously helpful
and the Greeks, as we shall see, seized upon this distinction between
God=E2=80=99s unknowable =E2=80=9Cessence=E2=80=9D and the =E2=80=9Cenergies=
=E2=80=9D that make him known to
us. They would also be influenced by his theory of the divine Logos.
Like the Wisdom writers, Philo imagined that God had formed a
masterplan (logos) of creation, which corresponded to Plato's realm of
forms. These forms were then incranated in the physical universe.
Again, Philo is not always consistent. Sometimes he suggests that
Logos is one of the powers; at other times he seems to think it is
higher than the powers, the highest idea of God that human beings can
attain. When we contemplate the Logos, however, we form no positive
knowledge of God: we are taken beyond the reach of discursive reason
to an intuitive apprehension which is =E2=80=9Chigher than a way of thinking=
,
more precious than anything that is merely thought.=E2=80=9D It was an
activity similar to Plato's contemplation (theoria). Philo insisted
that we will never reach God as he is in himself: the highest truth
we can apprehend is the rapturous recognition that God utterly
transcends the human mind. [END QUOTE]
This is very interesting. However, Philo's account of the visit of
the three angels to Abraham is most peculiar. It is common knowledge
that they were the angels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Here is a
passage from a Christian apologist:
=46rom http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/q_god_not_man.htm:
=E2=80=9CWho were the three men?... According to the Talmud, the three men
were the angels, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, each with his own
special task. Michael came to give Sarah the good news that she would
soon have a son, Raphael came to heal Abraham, and Gabriel went to
overthrow the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (although the Talmud says
that Michael went along with Gabriel so as to rescue Lot). But there
are problems with this view too. First, the text nowhere says that the
angels replaced or represented the Lord. Instead, the Bible says that
the Lord appeared to Abraham, that he saw three men, and that he
addressed one of them both as Lord ('adonai) and as YHWH. Second, the
context indicates clearly that two of the men went on to Sodom =E2=80=93 whe=
re
they are identified as angels =E2=80=93 and that Abraham stayed before YHWH,=
with whom he had extended dialogue. To be faithful to the Scriptures
we must say that the Lord, with two angels, appeared to Abraham, and
all three appeared as human beings who spoke, ate, and drank with
Abraham and Sarah.=E2=80=9D (Michael L. Brown, Answering Jewish Objections t=
o
Jesus: Theological Objections [Baker Books, Grand Rapids, MI 2000],
Volume 2, pp. 31-33)
=E2=80=9CSo the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham
still stood before the LORD.=E2=80=9D RSV
=E2=80=9CThe TWO angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot was sitting in=
the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed
himself with his face to the earth, and said, =E2=80=98My lords, turn aside,=
I
pray you, to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your
feet; then you may rise up early and go on your way.=E2=80=99 They said, =E2=
=80=98No;
we will spend the night in the street.=E2=80=99 But he urged them strongly; =
so
they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a
feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.=E2=80=9D (Genesis 19:1-3)
RSV
Despite the rabbis trying to imply that Yahweh didn't appear as a man
and wasn't one of the three men, a view which clearly contradicts the
plain reading of the text, their admission that Abraham did in fact
see God is interesting nonetheless. =E2=80=A6
How can Jesus be God when the Hebrew Bible says God is not a man? Cf.
Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; Hosea 11:9.
The Hebrew Bible even predicts that the Messiah of David is actually
God in the flesh:
=E2=80=9CFor to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government=
shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the
throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and
forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.=E2=80=9D (Isaiah
9:6-7)
[END QUOTE]
This is a typical example of =E2=80=9CChristian=E2=80=9D falsification of sc=
ripture.
It does not follow that because only two angels came to Sodom in the
evening, that the third =E2=80=9Cman=E2=80=9D was not also an angel. It is =
simply the
fact that he had split off from the other two and remained behind to
talk with Abraham, after Abraham had placed himself in the path of the
departing angels. He then went on to accomplish his mission, which
was to determine if the situation was really as bad as he had heard
that it was and if there were at least ten righteous men in the city.
That mission was a prerequisite to the mission of the other two
angels, whose mission it was to actually destroy the city.
Nor does the angel called LORD and JHVH act at all like the true LORD
of the universe. He does not know, without physically going into the
city, whether things are really as bad as he has heard that they are,
and, similarly, he does not know if there any righteous men in the
city.
The only logical conclusion is that the three =E2=80=9Cmen=E2=80=9D were thr=
ee angels,
and Gabriel, who was =E2=80=9CThe Mighty God=E2=80=9D of Isaiah 9:6, Gibor-e=
l, was
also called LORD and JHVH. Indeed, JHVH is the Divine Name of the
angel Gabriel, and NOT the name of the true LORD of the universe.
This is the fact that neither the phony =E2=80=9CChristians=E2=80=9D nor the=
phony
=E2=80=9CJews=E2=80=9D want to acknowledge.
This is what the true LORD, Jehoshua Moshiach, said about this: I am
come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive. (John 5:43) The child of
Isaiah 9:6 is NOT Jesus Christ.
Some ignorant =E2=80=9CJews=E2=80=9D even deny that the angel Michael, =D7=
=9E=D7=99=D7=9B=D7=90=D7=9C=E2=80=8E, is a
Jewish concept at all. The following is a refutation of that
ridiculous claim.
Here is an objective reference on Michael:
=46rom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel):
The rabbis declare that Michael entered upon his role of defender at
the time of the biblical patriarchs. Thus, according to Rabbi Eliezer
ben Jacob, it was Michael who rescued Abraham from the furnace into
which he had been thrown by Nimrod (Midrash Genesis Rabbah xliv. 16).
It was Michael, the =E2=80=9Cone that had escaped=E2=80=9D (Genesis 14:13), =
who told
Abraham that Lot had been taken captive (Midrash Pirke R. El.), and
who protected Sarah from being defiled by Abimelech. He announced to
Sarah that she would bear a son and he rescued Lot at the destruction
of Sodom (Talmud B. M. 86b).
Legend makes Michael the teacher of Moses; so that the Israelites are
indebted to their advocate for the supreme good of the Torah. This
idea is alluded to in Midrash Deuteronomy Rabbah xi. 6 in the
statement that Michael declined to bring Moses=E2=80=99 soul to God on the
ground that he had been Moses=E2=80=99 teacher.
Michael is said to have destroyed the army of Sennacherib (Midrash
Exodus Rabbah xviii. 5), a deed normally attributed to an otherwise
unnamed angel of destruction but perhaps accomplished by Uriel,
Gabriel, or others; He is also credited with being the angel who spoke
to Moses in the burning bush (an honor often bestowed upon Zagzagel).
He is accepted in lore as well as being the special patron of Adam.
Supposedly he was the first angel in all of the heavens to bow down
before humanity. Michael then kept an eye on the first family,
remaining vigilant even after the fall of Adam and Eve and their
expulsion from the Garden of Eden. In the apocryphal Conflict of Adam
and Eve with Satan, Michael taught Adam how to farm. The archangel
later brought Adam to heaven in a fiery chariot, giving him a tour of
the blessed realm. After Adam's death, Michael helped convince the
Lord to permit Adam's soul to be brought to heaven and cleansed of its
great sin. Jewish legend also states Michael to be one of the three
=E2=80=9Cmen=E2=80=9D who visited Abraham. He is said to have tried to preve=
nt Israel
from being led into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar II and to save the
Temple from destruction; but the sins of the people were so great that
he was powerless to carry his purposes into effect. [END QUOTE]
Here is a Jewish reference on Michael:
=46rom http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=3D560&letter=3DM:
Michael exercised his function of advocate of Israel at the time of
the Exodus also, when Satan accused the Israelites of idolatry and
declared that they were consequently deserving of death by drowning in
the Red Sea (Ex. R. xviii. 5). But according to Midr. Abkir (Yalk.,
Ex. 241), when Uzza, the tutelar angel of Egypt, summoned Michael to
plead before God, Michael remained silent, and it was God Himself who
defended Israel. Michael led the Israelites during their forty years=E2=80=
=99
wandering in the wilderness (Abravanel to Ex. xxiii. 20). Legend makes
him the teacher of Moses; so that the Israelites are indebted to their
advocate for the supreme good of the Torah. This fact is alluded to in
Deut. R. xi. 6 in the statement that Michael declined to bring Moses=E2=80=
=99
soul to God on the ground that he had been Moses=E2=80=99 teacher. It is
clearly stated in Apoc. Mosis, i. that Moses received the two tables
through the mediation of Michael. In the Book of Jubilees (i. 27, ii.
1) the angel who is said to have instructed Moses on Mount Sinai and
to have delivered to him the tables of the Law is most probably
Michael. =E2=80=A6
It is quite natural that, owing to his position with regard to the
Jews, Michael should be represented in the Haggadah as the most
prominent of the archangels. He is called by Daniel (Dan. xii. 1) =E2=80=9Ct=
he
great prince,=E2=80=9D and his greatness is described at length in later
Jewish writings. He was one of the seven archangels first created
(Enoch, xc. 21-22; Targ. Yer. to Deut. xxxiv. 6 gives only six), but
among these seven four excel, and Michael is the chief of the four.
Both he and Gabriel are called =E2=80=9Cgreat princes=E2=80=9D; but Michael =
is higher
in rank than Gabriel (Ber. 4b; Yoma 37a). He is the viceroy of God,
who rules over the world (Enoch, lxix. 14 et seq.), and wherever
Michael appears the Shekinah also is to be found (Ex. R. ii. 8).
Michael is on the right of God=E2=80=99s throne, while Gabriel is on the lef=
t
(=E2=80=9CHaggadat Shema=E2=80=99 Yisrael,=E2=80=9D in Jellinek, l.c. v. 166=
; Targ. to Job
xxv. 2; Enoch, xl. 9). Four armies of angels sing in praise of the
Lord, the first being that of Michael at the right hand of God (Pirke
R. El. iv.; =E2=80=9CHekalot,=E2=80=9D in Jellinek, l.c. ii. 43-44). =E2=80=
=A6 It is Michael
who, on account of his occupying the first place near God, receives
the prayers of men from the angels and presents them to God (Baruch
Apoc. Slavonic, xii.). [END QUOTE]
In the light of all of this, we can now re-examine the idea of Philo,
that =E2=80=9CGod=E2=80=99s essential being (ousia) [is] flanked by the King=
ly and
Creative powers in a kind of trinity.=E2=80=9D
As pertaining to the incarnate Jesus, we can imagine Jesus of the
sixth ray of Divine Service, flanked by Mother Mary of the fifth ray
of Healing and Joseph of the seventh ray of the Violet Transmuting
Flame. These two =E2=80=9Cpowers=E2=80=9D pertain to the types of miracles =
that Jesus
predominantly performed: healing miracles and forgiveness of sins.
In his true estate, Jesus is JHVSA, or Jehoshua Moshiach, the true
LORD and G-D of Israel. According to Jewish tradition, He is flanked
by the two angels, Michael and Gabriel, on HIS right hand and left
hand, respectively. Here, Michael will be the Kingly power, as in the
Kingdom of God, and Gabriel, or JHVH, will be the Creative power, in
the world but not of it.
We can now understand Psalm 110:
[1] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool.
[2] The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou
in the midst of thine enemies.
[3] Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the
beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew
of thy youth.
[4] The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for
ever after the order of Melchizedek.
[5] The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day
of his wrath.
[6] He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with
the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
[7] He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up
the head.
THE MOST IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL FIGURE IN THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH
Babaji is the most important figure in the spiritual history of planet
earth. He was known as Krishna in the East and Archangel Michael, the
angel of the LORD, in the West. Moses saw Him in the burning bush,
and all that is genuine about the old testament comes from Him. He
took the form of Babaji for the Incarnation of Jesus, who actually
called Him ABBA, or Aleph Beth Aleph in the Hebrew. He is the I AM
THAT I AM, or EHYEH ASHER EHYEH, or AHJH ASR AHJH in Hebrew letters.
He was the Heavenly Father of Jesus, while Jesus was incarnated in the
flesh.
In Buddhism, He is the Kalachakra deity, and He is well know by all
high lamas in Nepal and Tibet. He is Badrinarayan, and His ashram is
near Badrinath and has been there since his incarnation in 203 A.D.
He is fully enlightened and literally immortal. He is omniscient. He
is the bija of Zen enlightenment, the seed of Tara energy that leads
to the infinite consciousness of Avalokiteshvara =E2=80=93 gate gate paragat=

not ushering in a perfect world, but leaving behind a trail of
appalling destruction,=E2=80=9D he wrote.
I am afraid the Pope, who does not entirely have Saint Peter=E2=80=99s
blessing, misses the point here. Communism failed because it was
brought down by capitalism. The teaching of Jesus is Christ
Communism. See Matthew 6:24: Ye cannot serve God and mammon
[capital, capitalism].
The two greatest rabbis in modern times were Karl Marx and my Zen
teacher, Philip Kapleau, both of whom were Jews. Both Marx and
Kapleau were working in close communion with Sananda (the New Age name
of Jesus Christ). Sananda returned to earth on June 1, 1961 and
inspired the counterculture movement of the 60=E2=80=99s. When He comes
again, it will be to make the Revolution, once and for all! P.S. He
is coming in the spaceships of the Ashtar Command, which can defeat
the entire U.S. military in about 10 seconds.

MORE QUOTES FROM ROSHI PHILIP KAPLEAU
Questioner: Is there a difference between psychic insights and
satori?
Roshi: They have their origin in a common ground =E2=80=93 the Mind.
Everyone, without exception, [Equality Wisdom] has this Mind as a
birthright. But while the enlightened have awakened to it, the
ordinary psychic has not. The important difference is in the degree
of awareness or knowledge. The psychic is in touch with an area of
mind inaccessible to ordinary consciousness; the awakened has seen
into Mind itself. Since the fully awakened Mind perceives unlimited
dimensions of consciousness, it naturally encompasses psychic
perceptions.
Second Questioner: Speaking of Cayce, I have heard that he made a
prediction that sometime within the next forty years California will
be destroyed by an earthquake or flood. Do you place any stock in
such prophecies?
Roshi: Unless a psychic can give the precise time of a future
occurence =E2=80=93 that is, pin it down to the exact year and day and hour =
=E2=80=93
I would place little faith in his prediction. This is not to say he
is a charlatan, but that whatever powers he possesses are limited.
Let me continue. Although the psychic is able to contact dimensions
inaccessible to the ordinary person, he has no real understanding of
the source of his power. Moreover, his =E2=80=9Cgift=E2=80=9D does not effe=
ct in him
the attrition of ego or transformation of the personality. He is
still dominated by the notion of a self opposed to other selves. By
contrast, with genuine enlightenment the notion of an ego-I is
dispelled and the dualistic distinction of self and not-self is
transcended. The consequences of this are enormous. (From Zen: Dawn
in the West, p. 55)
JOB=E2=80=99S ANSWER TO G-D
Job 38:1-7:
38:1: Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

A follower of Moshe, for Moshe inspired the entire Torah without
actually seeing your face or knowing your true name, oh LORD.
38:3: Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and
answer thou me.
38:4: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Declare, if thou hast understanding.
I was in Netzach and in Tipareth.
38:5: Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who
hath stretched the line upon it?
It was thou, oh LORD, who laid the measures thereof, for thou art the
Geometry of Divinity, or G-D. Saraswati, thy mother, hath stretched
the (international date) line upon it.

AIN SOPH, AYIN, AND CREATIO EX NIHILO
Mark T.:
The Ein Sof itself exists outside of creation and therefore,
metaphorically speaking, is that which =E2=80=9Cis not.=E2=80=9D This is th=
e concept
of Yesh M=E2=80=99Ayin, something from nothing.
Reply:
You are conflating Ain Soph with Ayin. The former is the second
negative veil beyond Kether on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, while the
latter is a much higher sort of Nothingness that is the LORD of Moshe,
as indicated by the true name of the LORD: Jod He Vav Shin Ayin.
Without getting into the gutteral aspects of later Jewish attempts to
veil the truth, we can reasonably say that the word for the letter
Ayin =3D Aleph Jod Nun =3D Nothingness. In fact, this is the dispelling
of the evil eye, so apparent throughout the old testament. That =E2=80=9Cno=
man can see the face of the LORD and live=E2=80=9D means that the LORD is fa=
r
beyond the pride of life inherent in the Tree of Life. However, there
is an even higher type of Nothingness than Ayin, which is connoted
simply by the name JEHOVAH, without any further interpretation, except
to say that it is the true =E2=80=9CCreatio=E2=80=9D with respect to =E2=80=
=9CNihilo.=E2=80=9D Nihilo
is the FATHER, who draws the SON through the HOLY GHOST up to the very
limit of human comprehension. This JEHOVAH, being beyond human
comprehension, does not enter into human discourse or experience in
any way.

WHY עשוהי, I.E. JESUS, IS NOT THE JEWISH MESSIAH IF הוהי is the LORD
Many Christians claim that הוהי is the LORD and Elohim, while his son
עשוהי is the Messiah.
All Jews reject this and rightfully so. If it were true, don't you
think there would be at least one passage in the old testament to that
effect, saying, oh, by the way, הוהי has a son named עשוהי and he will
come as the Messiah?
But there is no such passage, not even the hint of such a passage, and
so the theory of these “Christians” is rightfully rejected by almost all
Jews as unfounded according to the Jewish religion.
Now, my hypothesis, however distasteful it may be to Jews, is a
possibility they cannot altogether deny if they wish to be thought of as
rational human beings.
I claim that Moshe did not know the true identity of the LORD, and this
is signified by the fact that the LORD would not allow Moshe to see HIS
face, according to the account of Moshe's enlightenment experience that
is given in Exodus itself.
I claim that the true name of the LORD is עשוהי or JHVSA or Jehoshua
Moshiach, aka Jesus Christ. I claim that JHVH is the Divine Name of the
angel Gabriel, even as I AM THAT I AM = EHYEH ASHER EHYEH = AHJH ASR
AHJH is the Divine Name of the angel Michael, who is the angel of the
LORD seen by Moshe in the burning bush. When it says that the LORD knew
Moshe face to face, it means that HE knew him face to face through HIS
angel, namely Michael as I AM THAT I AM. It is from Michael that Moshe
received his prophetic utterances, known collectively as the Torah, even
as Mohammed received his prophetic utterances, known as the Koran, from
the angel Gabriel.
The LORD HIMSELF was very clear that Moshe could not see HIS face, i.e.
know who and what HE truly is, and live. That is why the teaching of
Jehoshua Moshiach emphasized the willingness to die to see G-D. Even
Jesus Himself had to die in order to return to His own rightful estate
as the LORD G-D. The angel of the LORD, Michael = Mahavatar Babaji =
ABBA = the Heavenly Father of Jehoshua Moshiach, while He was incarnated
as Jesus Christ. Hence the statement of Jesus: “Believe me that I am
in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very
works’ sake.” (John 14:11)
My conjecture, if true, points to the reconciliation of the three great
monotheistic religions. The alternative is endless fighting, for none
of the three will relinquish their claims. The Jews suffer more than
anyone from the sin of Moshe in fabricating the name of the LORD. The
penalty for that sin, multiplied by the ongoing participation of all
Jews, was the destruction of the Temple and diaspora, i.e. sangsara,
that will last forever, unless the Jews somehow discover the Truth and
repent.
As a half Jew myself, I am not just proselytizing or evangelizing. I am
simply sharing what seems to work for me in finding a Truth of the Bible
that is not monstrous, but is instead both believable and intelligible.
Moreover, as a physicist interested in the foundations of quantum
theory, I am interested in finding a Truth that will answer our deepest
questions about reality. I believe I have found it.
THE SIMPLE ABBREVIATED TRUTH ABOUT G-D
The simple abbreviated truth is that Moses could only see the backside
of the LORD he saw in the burning bush, and so he could not discern His
true identity. You can't identify someone from behind, especially if
you don't already know who they are. The true name of the LORD was and
is JEHOSHUA, or JHVSA, not JHVH. The entire Torah and all secondary
literature is in a sense a great big fraud, and you can see that if you
go back to its origin in the actual experience of Moses as described
within the Torah itself. Dogma is only as good as the depth of
enlightenment of the one or ones fashioning the dogma.
BTW, Moses did see the angel of the LORD in the burning bush, and it was
the LORD through that same angel who knew him face to face. Never,
according to the Torah, was there face to face contact between the LORD
Himself and Moses. The LORD absolutely forbade that.
SCRIPTURAL PROOF OF MY CONJECTURE
From: http://www.answering-christianity.com/godtitle.htm :
“Mighty God” in Isaiah 9:6 is “El Gibor”. This is not exactly “Mighty
God,” but close. “Strong" is more correct (but it is different from
strong of “hazak”). Here both El and Gibor are nouns – this is short
full spell is “El Hu Gibor.”
Anyway “El Gibor” and “Gabriel” are same thing. They both mean “Strong
God.” “Gabriel” is an angel's name in the Bible.
The word “Gibor” in Isaiah 9:6 and the word “Gibor” of Gabriel have
exactly the same root, and they are both the same word. The word itself
can also be translated as “Man of God.” [END QUOTE]
So, the very passage used by Christians to prove that Yeshua is the
Jewish Messiah, instead proves that Jews and Christians alike worship
the Antichrist, the Abomination of Desolation, namely the angel Gabriel
in the holy place of the LORD, where he ought not to sit.
Now the Gabriel that responds to the invocations of Jews and Christians
alike is NOT the holy angel Gabriel, for he would not imposter the LORD.
Rather, it is an astral plane imposter of the angel Gabriel, who is
himself a fallen angel of the worst sort.
All of the monstrosities of the old testament, as well as those same
monstrosities carried over into the new testament by the
misunderstandings of the disciples of Jesus, are the work of this fallen
angel imposter of the LORD.
Now, this is not to say that the formula in Isaiah is entirely false. In
Judaism the usual designation for the one that is worshipped is “LORD
God.” God, or El, aka Eloah, aka Elohim, is the suffix found in the
name of each Archangel: Micha-el, Gibor-el, etc. Furthermore, it is
well-known that ALLAH comes from AL ILAH, where ILAH is equated to
ELOAH.
So, Islam is that religion wherein the angel of the LORD can actually be
the LORD, but that is not the case with Judaism, which is a Messianic
religion geared toward the advent of Jehoshua Moshiach, the LORD,
designated by the letters JHVSA. One can only conclude that the child
referred to in Isaiah 9:6 is Mohammad. He is called a child in the same
sense that Moshe is sometimes referred to as a child. There may be a
reference by implication to Moshiach, yet another child, but the passage
literally refers to Mohammad, the messenger of ALLAH through the angel
Gibor-el, whose Divine Name is JHVH.
Moshe was confused about this and all subsequent Jewish prophets and
rabbinical commentators were also confused. Moshe's confusion began
with his enlightenment experience, wherein he saw the LORD in the
burning bush, but only HIS back parts could he see. From that limited
experience, he could not properly identify the LORD.
HOW THE DELUSION THAT JHVH IS THE LORD BEGAN
I don't see a contradiction between the fact that Eve said she had
gotten a man from JHVH and the fact that the Patriarchs did not know the
name JHVH. Eve's delusion was that the LORD was JHVH. She got that
from the serpent. Moshe ben Adam inherited that delusion from his line
of Jewish mothers. What could be more natural. The delusion had gone
into remission at the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but resurfaced
again with Moshe.
Eve's belief that JHVH is the LORD is like an Oedipal complex. Its
remission at the time of the Patriarchs is like the period of latency.
Its re-emergence at the time of Moshe is like puberty, where the Oedipal
complex resurfaces, but this time resolved and integrated into the
social aspect of life. The question is whether the integration into
social life is adequate or psychotic. That is a matter of personal
judgment. I believe that the monstrosities of the old testament tip the
balance scale toward the psychotic. It would be far better from the
spiritual point of view to just uproot the Oedipal complex altogether
and establish a new foundation for the structure of the psyche. That is
the idea of a new testament and covenant.
THE SECRET DOCTRINE OF MONOTHEISM UNVEILED
Exodus
33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend.
33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. 33:19 And he said,
I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the
name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be
gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man
see me, and live.
33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt
stand upon a rock:
33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will
put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while
I pass by:
33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts:
but my face shall not be seen.
Deuteronomy
34:10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses,
whom the LORD knew face to face...
Now, how are we to understand this apparent contradiction? It is
essential, for the understanding of who and what G-D is depends upon it.
On the one hand, the LORD speaks to Moses face to face, and yet Moses
cannot see His face at all, but only His backside. Before we make an
attempt at an exegesis, we must consider also the following:
Exodus
3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out
of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with
fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn
aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto
him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said,
Here am I.
3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy
feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 3:6 Moreover
he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid
to look upon God.
3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of
Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me
unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say
unto them?
3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt
thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Now, before going further we must consider one more piece of the puzzle:
Exodus
6:1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to
Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong
hand shall he drive them out of his land. 6:2 And God spake unto Moses,
and said unto him, I am the LORD: 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto
Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name
JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 6:4 And I have also established my
covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their
pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
6:5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom
the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
Moses saw only the backside of the LORD G-D, which means that he could
not really discern His true identity. Moses did see the angel of the
LORD, and then it says that God, not G-D, spoke unto Moses and
identified Himself as I AM THAT I AM, or AHJH ASR AHJH. From this and
the further revelation in Exodus 6:3, Moses and later other Rabbis built
up a doctrine to the effect that JHVH was the true name of the LORD G-D.
Later, they decided that JHVH was unutterable and should be replaced by
the emphatic form of Adonai, which is ADNJ. Meanwhile the name of the
LORD known to the Patriarchs was declared to be El Shaddai, or AL SDJ.
Now, here is my conjecture:
The LORD that Moses actually heard speaking from the bush was not JHVH,
but rather JHVSA, or Jehoshua. It is easy to see how Moses could have
conflated the names, since they are so similar and Moses could not
really discern the true identity of the LORD G-D. All the other names
are names of various Lords, or Archangels, who are manifestations of the
LORD G-D. AHJH ASR AHJH = Michael, the angel of the LORD. JHVH =
Gabriel, second in command. ADNJ = Raphael, the third of the angels who
appeared to Abraham. AL SDJ = Michael, once again. The LORD spoke to
Moses face to face through his angel, Michael, in the name and form of
AHJH ASR AHJH. The LORD G-D Himself informed Moses that Moses could not
by any means see His face, or know His true identity (at that time,
because He did not yet wish to be revealed).
Moshiach = Archangel Michael = angel of the LORD = Krishna = Mahavatar
Babaji = Abba = Heavenly Father of Jesus = Master of Jesus while Jesus
was incarnate = Servant of Jehoshua, whenever Jesus abides in His true
estate as the LORD G-D. The LORD G-D has no body, and hence when He
wishes to appear with form, He must either incarnate or appear through
His angel or any of the lesser angels. Angels do have form and function
– that is their purpose. They are not ephemeral spirits, as some
Christians believe.
Mahavatar Babaji as Krishna empowered Brahma to create this universe.
Hence the knowledge of the LORD G-D has to do with liberation from this
material world.

Srivasadi, Guru Sadhu Shastra, Gauranga Mayavadi.

Father (Jor-El), The Prince of Peace (Kal-El). (Isaiah 9:6)

Moshiach, G-D), Numbers, Deuteronomy (6:5).
In addition to realizing Mind, two other things are necessary for the
attainment of Buddhahood. The first is the Great Refusal to worship
Self or Atma. Self-Realization does not mean worship at the level of
Self or Atma. Quite the contrary. The reason is that Self or Atma is
implicated in the material creation of Brahma, the Creator. To be
Self-satisfied is called Narcissism. One must be dissatisfied with Self
and with the entire material creation. That is the First Noble Truth of
the Buddha. It is that alone which enables you to go higher.
The second requirement for Buddhahood is that one must refuse to worship
themultiplicity of Gods, which are underlings to the LORD, who is G-D.
Even “The Mighty God” of Isaiah 9:6, who is יהוה, or JHVH, or Jehovah,
must not be worshipped, for He is only the angel named Gibor- El, or
Gabriel. Only the true LORD, who is יהושע, or JHVSA, or Jehoshua
Moshiach, is to be worshipped. Jehoshua Moshiach is also the hidden
G-D, or Geometry of Divinity, which is the sum total of the knowledge of
the universe.
THE PROBLEM IN A NUTSHELL
The following quote is from:
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=261&letter=I&search=...
In the order of greatness Isaiah is placed immediately after Moses by
the Rabbis; in some respects Isaiah surpasses even Moses, for he reduced
the commandments to six: honesty in dealing; sincerity in speech;
refusal of illicit gain; absence of corruption; aversion for bloody
deeds; contempt for evil (Mak. 24a). Later he reduced the six to
two—justice and charity (ib.). The chief merit of Isaiah's prophecies
is their consoling character, for while Moses said, “Thou shalt perish
in the midst of the nation,” Isaiah announced deliverance. Ezekiel's
consoling addresses compared with Isaiah’s are as the utterances of a
villager to the speech of a courtier (Hag. 14a). Therefore consolation
is awaiting him who sees Isaiah in a dream (Ber. 57b). [END QUOTE]
So, you see, here is the problem in a nutshell. The rabbis indeed
departed from Torah and followed Isaiah instead. Isaiah's God is
Gibor-El or Gabriel (see Isaiah 9:6). It is undoubtedly true that Moshe
never wrote down the Torah, but that it was done by later scribes and
rabbis, who also had accepted the God of Isaiah and rejected the LORD of
Moshe. Hence they used the Tetragrammaton, which is the Divine Name of
the angel Gabriel, in place of the true name of the LORD.
The rabbinical tradition and whole of modern Jewry, except perhaps for
full Torah Jews and the few who have accepted Jehoshua (Jesus) as
Moshiach, have in essence forsaken the LORD of Moshe in favor of the God
of Isaiah. From this false idol they derive great consolation and the
sense that as Jews they can do no wrong. How sadly mistaken they are.
FURTHER SCRIPTURAL PROOF OF MY CONJECTURE
From “A History of God,” Karen Armstrong, 1993, pp. 68-71:
Philo was a Platonist and had a distinguished reputation as a
rationalist philosopher in his own right. ... He could see no
incompatability with his God and the God of the Greeks. It must be
said, however, that Philo’s God seems very different from Yahweh. For
one thing, Philo seemed embarrassed by the historical books of the
Bible, which he tried to turn into elaborate allegories: Aristotle, it
will be recalled, had considered history unphilosophical. His God has
no human qualities: it is quite incorrect, for example, to say that he
is “angry.” All we can know about God is the bare fact of his
existence. Yet, as a practicing Jew, Philo did believe that God had
revealed himself to the prophets. How had this been possible?
Philo solved the probem by making an important distinction betyween
God’s essence (ousia), which is entirely incomprehensible, and his
activities in the world, which he called his “powers” (dynameis) or
“energies” (energeiai). ...Two of these powers were especially
important. Philo called them the Kingly power, which reveals God in the
order of the universe, and the Creative power, whereby God reveals
himself in the blessings he bestows upon humanity. Neither of these
powers is to be confused with the divine essence (ousia), which remains
shrouded in impenetrable mystery. They simply enable us to catch a
glimpse of a reality which is beyond anything we can conceive.
Sometimes Philo speaks of God’s essential being (ousia) flanked by the
Kingly and Creative powers in a kind of trinity. When he interprets the
story of Yahweh's visit to Abraham at Mamre with the two angels, for
example, he argues that this is an allegorical presentation of God’s
ousia – He Who Is – with the two senior powers.
J [editor of the OT – JPED] would have been astonished by this and,
indeed, Jews have always found Philo’s conception of God somewhat
inauthentic. Christians, however, would find him enormously helpful and
the Greeks, as we shall see, seized upon this distinction between God’s
unknowable “essence” and the “energies” that make him known to us. They
would also be influenced by his theory of the divine Logos. Like the
Wisdom writers, Philo imagined that God had formed a masterplan (logos)
of creation, which corresponded to Plato's realm of forms. These forms
were then incranated in the physical universe. Again, Philo is not
always consistent. Sometimes he suggests that Logos is one of the
powers; at other times he seems to think it is higher than the powers,
the highest idea of God that human beings can attain. When we
contemplate the Logos, however, we form no positive knowledge of God: we
are taken beyond the reach of discursive reason to an intuitive
apprehension which is “higher than a way of thinking, more precious than
anything that is merely thought.” It was an activity similar to Plato's
contemplation (theoria). Philo insisted that we will never reach God as
he is in himself: the highest truth we can apprehend is the rapturous
recognition that God utterly transcends the human mind. [END QUOTE]
This is very interesting. However, Philo's account of the visit of the
three angels to Abraham is most peculiar. It is common knowledge that
they were the angels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Here is a passage
from a Christian apologist:
From http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/q_god_not_man.htm:
“Who were the three men?... According to the Talmud, the three men were
the angels, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, each with his own special
task. Michael came to give Sarah the good news that she would soon have
a son, Raphael came to heal Abraham, and Gabriel went to overthrow the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (although the Talmud says that Michael went
along with Gabriel so as to rescue Lot). But there are problems with
this view too. First, the text nowhere says that the angels replaced or
represented the Lord. Instead, the Bible says that the Lord appeared to
Abraham, that he saw three men, and that he addressed one of them both
as Lord ('adonai) and as YHWH. Second, the context indicates clearly
that two of the men went on to Sodom – where they are identified as
angels – and that Abraham stayed before YHWH, with whom he had extended
dialogue. To be faithful to the Scriptures we must say that the Lord,
with two angels, appeared to Abraham, and all three appeared as human
beings who spoke, ate, and drank with Abraham and Sarah.” (Michael L.
Brown, Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus: Theological Objections
[Baker Books, Grand Rapids, MI 2000], Volume 2, pp. 31-33)
“So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still
stood before the LORD.” RSV
“The TWO angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot was sitting in the
gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed
himself with his face to the earth, and said, ‘My lords, turn aside, I
pray you, to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your
feet; then you may rise up early and go on your way.’ They said, ‘No; we
will spend the night in the street.’ But he urged them strongly; so they
turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and
baked unleavened bread, and they ate.” (Genesis 19:1-3) RSV
Despite the rabbis trying to imply that Yahweh didn't appear as a man
and wasn't one of the three men, a view which clearly contradicts the
plain reading of the text, their admission that Abraham did in fact see
God is interesting nonetheless. …
How can Jesus be God when the Hebrew Bible says God is not a man? Cf.
Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; Hosea 11:9.
The Hebrew Bible even predicts that the Messiah of David is actually God
in the flesh:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government
shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the
throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and
forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7)
[END QUOTE]
This is a typical example of “Christian” falsification of scripture. It
does not follow that because only two angels came to Sodom in the
evening, that the third “man” was not also an angel. It is simply the
fact that he had split off from the other two and remained behind to
talk with Abraham, after Abraham had placed himself in the path of the
departing angels. He then went on to accomplish his mission, which was
to determine if the situation was really as bad as he had heard that it
was and if there were at least ten righteous men in the city. That
mission was a prerequisite to the mission of the other two angels, whose
mission it was to actually destroy the city.
Nor does the angel called LORD and JHVH act at all like the true LORD of
the universe. He does not know, without physically going into the city,
whether things are really as bad as he has heard that they are, and,
similarly, he does not know if there any righteous men in the city.
The only logical conclusion is that the three “men” were three angels,
and Gabriel, who was “The Mighty God” of Isaiah 9:6, Gibor-el, was also
called LORD and JHVH. Indeed, JHVH is the Divine Name of the angel
Gabriel, and NOT the name of the true LORD of the universe. This is the
fact that neither the phony “Christians” nor the phony “Jews” want to
acknowledge.
This is what the true LORD, Jehoshua Moshiach, said about this: I am
come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive. (John 5:43) The child of Isaiah
9:6 is NOT Jesus Christ.
Some ignorant “Jews” even deny that the angel Michael, מיכאל, is a
Jewish concept at all. The following is a refutation of that ridiculous
claim.
Here is an objective reference on Michael:
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel):
The rabbis declare that Michael entered upon his role of defender at the
time of the biblical patriarchs. Thus, according to Rabbi Eliezer ben
Jacob, it was Michael who rescued Abraham from the furnace into which he
had been thrown by Nimrod (Midrash Genesis Rabbah xliv. 16). It was
Michael, the “one that had escaped” (Genesis 14:13), who told Abraham
that Lot had been taken captive (Midrash Pirke R. El.), and who
protected Sarah from being defiled by Abimelech. He announced to Sarah
that she would bear a son and he rescued Lot at the destruction of Sodom
(Talmud B. M. 86b).
Legend makes Michael the teacher of Moses; so that the Israelites are
indebted to their advocate for the supreme good of the Torah. This idea
is alluded to in Midrash Deuteronomy Rabbah xi. 6 in the statement that
Michael declined to bring Moses’ soul to God on the ground that he had
been Moses’ teacher.
Michael is said to have destroyed the army of Sennacherib (Midrash
Exodus Rabbah xviii. 5), a deed normally attributed to an otherwise
unnamed angel of destruction but perhaps accomplished by Uriel, Gabriel,
or others; He is also credited with being the angel who spoke to Moses
in the burning bush (an honor often bestowed upon Zagzagel). He is
accepted in lore as well as being the special patron of Adam. Supposedly
he was the first angel in all of the heavens to bow down before
humanity. Michael then kept an eye on the first family, remaining
vigilant even after the fall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from
the Garden of Eden. In the apocryphal Conflict of Adam and Eve with
Satan, Michael taught Adam how to farm. The archangel later brought Adam
to heaven in a fiery chariot, giving him a tour of the blessed realm.
After Adam's death, Michael helped convince the Lord to permit Adam's
soul to be brought to heaven and cleansed of its great sin. Jewish
legend also states Michael to be one of the three “men” who visited
Abraham. He is said to have tried to prevent Israel from being led into
captivity by Nebuchadnezzar II and to save the Temple from destruction;
but the sins of the people were so great that he was powerless to carry
his purposes into effect. [END QUOTE]
Here is a Jewish reference on Michael:
From http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=560&letter=M:
Michael exercised his function of advocate of Israel at the time of the
Exodus also, when Satan accused the Israelites of idolatry and declared
that they were consequently deserving of death by drowning in the Red
Sea (Ex. R. xviii. 5). But according to Midr. Abkir (Yalk., Ex. 241),
when Uzza, the tutelar angel of Egypt, summoned Michael to plead before
God, Michael remained silent, and it was God Himself who defended
Israel. Michael led the Israelites during their forty years’ wandering
in the wilderness (Abravanel to Ex. xxiii. 20). Legend makes him the
teacher of Moses; so that the Israelites are indebted to their advocate
for the supreme good of the Torah. This fact is alluded to in Deut. R.
xi. 6 in the statement that Michael declined to bring Moses’ soul to God
on the ground that he had been Moses’ teacher. It is clearly stated in
Apoc. Mosis, i. that Moses received the two tables through the mediation
of Michael. In the Book of Jubilees (i. 27, ii. 1) the angel who is said
to have instructed Moses on Mount Sinai and to have delivered to him the
tables of the Law is most probably Michael. …
It is quite natural that, owing to his position with regard to the Jews,
Michael should be represented in the Haggadah as the most prominent of
the archangels. He is called by Daniel (Dan. xii. 1) “the great prince,”
and his greatness is described at length in later Jewish writings. He
was one of the seven archangels first created (Enoch, xc. 21-22; Targ.
Yer. to Deut. xxxiv. 6 gives only six), but among these seven four
excel, and Michael is the chief of the four. Both he and Gabriel are
called “great princes”; but Michael is higher in rank than Gabriel (Ber.
4b; Yoma 37a). He is the viceroy of God, who rules over the world
(Enoch, lxix. 14 et seq.), and wherever Michael appears the Shekinah
also is to be found (Ex. R. ii. 8). Michael is on the right of God’s
throne, while Gabriel is on the left (“Haggadat Shema’ Yisrael,” in
Jellinek, l.c. v. 166; Targ. to Job xxv. 2; Enoch, xl. 9). Four armies
of angels sing in praise of the Lord, the first being that of Michael at
the right hand of God (Pirke R. El. iv.; “Hekalot,” in Jellinek, l.c.
ii. 43-44). … It is Michael who, on account of his occupying the first
place near God, receives the prayers of men from the angels and presents
them to God (Baruch Apoc. Slavonic, xii.). [END QUOTE]
In the light of all of this, we can now re-examine the idea of Philo,
that “God’s essential being (ousia) [is] flanked by the Kingly and
Creative powers in a kind of trinity.”
As pertaining to the incarnate Jesus, we can imagine Jesus of the sixth
ray of Divine Service, flanked by Mother Mary of the fifth ray of
Healing and Joseph of the seventh ray of the Violet Transmuting Flame.
These two “powers” pertain to the types of miracles that Jesus
predominantly performed: healing miracles and forgiveness of sins.
In his true estate, Jesus is JHVSA, or Jehoshua Moshiach, the true LORD
and G-D of Israel. According to Jewish tradition, He is flanked by the
two angels, Michael and Gabriel, on HIS right hand and left hand,
respectively. Here, Michael will be the Kingly power, as in the Kingdom
of God, and Gabriel, or JHVH, will be the Creative power, in the world
but not of it.
We can now understand Psalm 110:
[1] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make
thine enemies thy footstool.
[2] The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou
in the midst of thine enemies.
[3] Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties
of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy
youth.
[4] The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchizedek.
[5] The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of
his wrath.
[6] He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the
dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. [7] He shall
drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
THE MOST IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL FIGURE IN THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH
Babaji is the most important figure in the spiritual history of planet
earth. He was known as Krishna in the East and Archangel Michael, the
angel of the LORD, in the West. Moses saw Him in the burning bush, and
all that is genuine about the old testament comes from Him. He took the
form of Babaji for the Incarnation of Jesus, who actually called Him
ABBA, or Aleph Beth Aleph in the Hebrew. He is the I AM THAT I AM, or
EHYEH ASHER EHYEH, or AHJH ASR AHJH in Hebrew letters. He was the
Heavenly Father of Jesus, while Jesus was incarnated in the flesh.
In Buddhism, He is the Kalachakra deity, and He is well know by all high
lamas in Nepal and Tibet. He is Badrinarayan, and His ashram is near
Badrinath and has been there since his incarnation in 203 A.D. He is
fully enlightened and literally immortal. He is omniscient. He is the
bija of Zen enlightenment, the seed of Tara energy that leads to the
infinite consciousness of Avalokiteshvara – gate gate paragate
parasamgate bodhi svaha. OM KRIYA BABAJI NAMA AUM.
THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE POPE
Pope: He cited Lenin and the “intermediate phase” of dictatorship that
Marx saw as necessary in the revolution. “This ‘intermediate phase’ we
know all too well, and we also know how it then developed, not ushering
in a perfect world, but leaving behind a trail of appalling
destruction,” he wrote.
I am afraid the Pope, who does not entirely have Saint Peter’s blessing,
misses the point here. Communism failed because it was brought down by
capitalism. The teaching of Jesus is Christ Communism. See Matthew
6:24: Ye cannot serve God and mammon [capital, capitalism].
The two greatest rabbis in modern times were Karl Marx and my Zen
teacher, Philip Kapleau, both of whom were Jews. Both Marx and Kapleau
were working in close communion with Sananda (the New Age name of Jesus
Christ). Sananda returned to earth on June 1, 1961 and inspired the
counterculture movement of the 60’s. When He comes again, it will be to
make the Revolution, once and for all! P.S. He is coming in the
spaceships of the Ashtar Command, which can defeat the entire U.S.
military in about 10 seconds.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S WRONG? DO YOU THINK KAPLEAU WOULD DISAPPROVE? I
DON'T. [END OF “ABSOLUTE PROOF…”]
MORE QUOTES FROM ROSHI PHILIP KAPLEAU
Questioner: Is there a difference between psychic insights and satori?
Roshi: They have their origin in a common ground – the Mind. Everyone,
without exception, [Equality Wisdom] has this Mind as a birthright. But
while the enlightened have awakened to it, the ordinary psychic has not.
The important difference is in the degree of awareness or knowledge.
The psychic is in touch with an area of mind inaccessible to ordinary
consciousness; the awakened has seen into Mind itself. Since the fully
awakened Mind perceives unlimited dimensions of consciousness, it
naturally encompasses psychic perceptions.
Second Questioner: Speaking of Cayce, I have heard that he made a
prediction that sometime within the next forty years California will be
destroyed by an earthquake or flood. Do you place any stock in such
prophecies?
Roshi: Unless a psychic can give the precise time of a future occurence
– that is, pin it down to the exact year and day and hour – I would
place little faith in his prediction. This is not to say he is a
charlatan, but that whatever powers he possesses are limited.
Let me continue. Although the psychic is able to contact dimensions
inaccessible to the ordinary person, he has no real understanding of the
source of his power. Moreover, his “gift” does not effect in him the
attrition of ego or transformation of the personality. He is still
dominated by the notion of a self opposed to other selves. By contrast,
with genuine enlightenment the notion of an ego-I is dispelled and the
dualistic distinction of self and not-self is transcended. The
consequences of this are enormous. (From Zen: Dawn in the West, p. 55)
JOB’S ANSWER TO G-D
Job 38:1-7:
38:1: Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 38:2:
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
A follower of Moshe, for Moshe inspired the entire Torah without
actually seeing your face or knowing your true name, oh LORD.
38:3: Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and
answer thou me.
38:4: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare,
if thou hast understanding.
I was in Netzach and in Tipareth.
38:5: Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath
stretched the line upon it?
It was thou, oh LORD, who laid the measures thereof, for thou art the
Geometry of Divinity, or G-D. Saraswati, thy mother, hath stretched the
(international date) line upon it.
38:6: Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the
corner stone thereof;
38:7: When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of G-D
shouted for joy?
Upon the four letter PRDS. The corner stone is Pashat, and thy angel,
Michael, hath laid it in place, when angels and men communed freely.
AIN SOPH, AYIN, AND CREATIO EX NIHILO
Mark T.:
The Ein Sof itself exists outside of creation and therefore,
metaphorically speaking, is that which “is not.” This is the concept of
Yesh M’Ayin, something from nothing.
Reply:
You are conflating Ain Soph with Ayin. The former is the second
negative veil beyond Kether on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, while the
latter is a much higher sort of Nothingness that is the LORD of Moshe,
as indicated by the true name of the LORD: Jod He Vav Shin Ayin.
Without getting into the gutteral aspects of later Jewish attempts to
veil the truth, we can reasonably say that the word for the letter Ayin
= Aleph Jod Nun = Nothingness. In fact, this is the dispelling of the
evil eye, so apparent throughout the old testament. That “no man can
see the face of the LORD and live” means that the LORD is far beyond the
pride of life inherent in the Tree of Life. However, there is an even
higher type of Nothingness than Ayin, which is connoted simply by the
name JEHOVAH, without any further interpretation, except to say that it
is the true “Creatio” with respect to “Nihilo.” Nihilo is the FATHER,
who draws the SON through the HOLY GHOST up to the very limit of human
comprehension. This JEHOVAH, being beyond human comprehension, does not
enter into human discourse or experience in any way.
