As the cycle of duality draws to a close, let us use this Lenten season to ponder: did I understand the true import of my sacred text? Am I ready to make the approaching evolutionary leap to the 5th dimensional plane of love and light?
The Bible is one of the sacred texts for the 3rd dimensional plane of duality. Its writers all lived on the plane of duality and were therefore confronted with good and evil. Although inspired, they wrote from the perspective of learning to deal with duality in a manner that would allow them and us to awaken to the higher planes of life. Many pointed the way, but did we comprehend?
In the first chapters of Genesis, we find a symbolic story of the Earth’s creation. “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31)
Into this lush paradise, humankind entered. We were gifted with freewill and given the opportunity to choose how we live our lives. “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:16-17) God was explaining that once we choose to evolve on the plane of duality, we die to the awareness of all that is within the cosmos.
Our perspective becomes extremely limited. We die to the knowledge of who we truly are as made in the image of God—child gods. We die to the understanding that we are One with God. We begin to feel separate and alone. We die to the consciousness of the Garden of Eden and instead, enter a world in which we experience good and evil. Our physical bodies become sick, decay, and die. We appear blind to a world of plenty for all and accept as normal: enemies/wars, hatred, anger, jealousy, resentment, competition, egoism, discrimination, emotional and physical pain, revenge, and blood sacrifice. And by far, the most insidious of all is the personification of Creator God as a being with less integrity than we possess.
The writers of those books, eventually accepted into the biblical canon, did not write with that intention. Instead, they wrote within the cultural milieu with which they were familiar. Their writings were often inspired for the betterment of those within their community. However, by the time the canonical books were written, tens of thousands of years had passed on the plane of duality. Spiritual blindness was well established.
As we read the biblical account, it is possible to perceive layers of meaning. The inspired message often shines through; but few take the time to comprehend it. Humankind has never been abandoned, even though we came to believe that is the case. Advanced beings have periodically incarnated on the plane of duality in order to give humankind a jump start to spiritual awakening. They have become a part of daily life on Earth and attempted to reveal Truth to us.
Let’s look at a few biblical examples.
“And Enoch found favor in the presence of God, and disappeared; for God took him away.” (Genesis 5:24) Enoch is the first biblical character to ascend from the plane of duality back into the higher dimensions, without physical death.
Melchizedek, a priest king of Salem (Jerusalem) is another example of an advanced being dwelling on the plane of duality, without experiencing a physical birth or death. “Neither his father nor his mother is recorded in the genealogies; and neither the beginning of his days nor the end of his life; but, like the Son of God, his priesthood abides forever. Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave tithes and paid head tax…. But this man who is not recorded in their genealogies took tithes even from Abraham and blessed him who had received the promises. Beyond dispute, he who was less was blessed by him who was greater than himself.” (Hebrews 7:3-4, 6-7)
