The Current Messiah is Here – II

The Testament of Truth

The Current Messiah will fulfil the eternal Testament of Truth in the coming new  Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle. In essence, the Divine Testament of Truth reveals the eternal Truth about God, Creation and the Human Being made in the image and likeness of G-d! In accordance with the Kabbalah, at the beginning of each cosmic cycle, G-d emits a powerful creative impulse that unfolds His Divine Plan and builds, world after world, the descending hierarchical structure of Creation. After the impulse of the cycle has fulfilled its Divine tasks, penetrating to the densest material world, G-d begins to elevate His creative energies from the lower worlds, illuminating the whole vertical structure of Creation up to the Primordial Source. Then G-d radiates a new impulse for the development of a new cosmic cycle that will re-create all the worlds in Creation and this ‘pulsation’ continues, cycle after cycle, until the end of the Aeon, or the great Jubilee of Jubilees.

Most of the world religions testify that humankind has finished the Indo-European cycle lasting for thousands of years and it is starting a new cosmic cycle. Based on the outgoing Indo-European cosmic cycle I will give an example of the fulfilment of the Testament of Truth.

The staggering Truth about Creation is that everything is Spirit, Divine consciousness, supreme intellect; the whole of Creation is an ocean of love, light and life within the Absolute. There is nothing else except G-d, the One Who Is. G-d is the Absolute, the CREATOR, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, the Principal Cause, the Source of Life, the Revealed and Unrevealed, the All in All.

All of Creation springs from the Absolute Cause with limitless Love. All things have their beginning in Love. Love is the seed, the impulse, the energy, the strength for growth, the driving force of evolution, the true source of life. Creation is Divine magic, a magic of Love, and everything in existence is born out of the Love of G-d.

Love is the impulse and the energy for growth, Wisdom builds. All things in the Universe originate from an idea of G-d. Everything is alive; everything is significant. When we observe and understand the spiritual significance and purpose of the physical forms, which appear in time, space and matter, we enter into the world of Divine Wisdom. In this Divine world every material form is a manifestation of living forces, a reflection of spiritual ideas from the higher worlds. Wisdom is the key to time, to all processes in Nature, society and the Cosmos, and hence to the understanding of the whole evolution of Creation.

There is One who is Love, Wisdom and Truth.  Only One!  And all living Nature speaks about this One, the Great.  They call Him Lord, God, Father.  He pervades everything, permeates the whole Being, envelops the entire world, all solar and stellar systems, and still He remains hidden, unrevealed. Throughout the whole of eternity He shall not reveal Himself, for being the Absolute, the Eternal, He is without form. (The Master Beinsa Douno)

In His еndless Divine Love, Wisdom and Truth the Lord God Almighty unfolds a monumental structure of Creation as a Tree of Life in order for every living creature at the end of its evolution to realise the absolute mystery of Being and to merge with G-d. All world religions reveal, in their own way, this magnificent structure of Creation, which consists of three hierarchical worlds, one above the other:

1. The Physical, Material World – this world is the material cosmos in Hinduism, the world of gross forms in Buddhism, the sensory and corporeal world of made-fact in Judaism, the physical, material universe in Christianity and the phenomenal world, mulk, in Islam.

This is the world which the majority of people understand and live in. The whole earthly culture is built on this understanding. For the experience of the higher Celestial worlds, however, the people have to enter into the esoteric traditions of the world religions.

2. The Heavenly, Angelic World woven by celestial colour rays of light, spiritual music, sacred words and inhabited by myriads of light beings. This world corresponds to the astral cosmos in Hinduism, the world of subtle forms in Buddhism, the world of formation inhabited by angels, genii and souls, with seven heavens in Judaism, the celestial world with seven heavens in Christianity, and the world of angelic and spiritual forms, malakut, in Islam;

Entry into this celestial world requires the awakening and blossoming of the human soul.  People with awakened souls exist in all world religions and they form the esoteric spiritual community in each one of them.

3. The Highest Divine World which allows the contemplation of all of Creation – the causal cosmos in Hinduism, the world without forms in Buddhism, the world of Creation filled with the Divine immanent presence alone in Judaism, the world around the Throne of God in Christianity, and the world of His dominion, jabarut, in Islam. Above the Highest Divine World in Creation is the World of Emanation (Azilut) – G-d, the Absolute, I AM!

The ascent to the Highest Divine World requires an awakening of the Higher Self in the human being and receiving a Divine Enlightenment.  These people are the initiates in all world religions who form the mystical core in each one of them.

The Essence of the Human Being

In one or another way, every world religion reveals the essence of the human being as a model of the Universe, created in the image and likeness of G-d. For this purpose, the Divine Masters, the Founders of the religions, appear in each one of the three worlds with perfect physical, celestial and universal bodies.

According to Judaism, Man is the most perfect image of universal reality in the whole of creation; he is the ‘incarnated’ recapitulation of all the cosmic degrees and of their divine archetypes.  Indeed, through his spiritual faculties, psychic virtues and corporeal forms, he represents the most evident symbol of the ten Sefiroth, and his integral personality embraces all the worlds: his pure and uncreated being is identified with the Sefirothic ‘world of emanation’ (olam ha’atsiluth); his spirit, with the prototypical ‘world of creation’ (olam haberiyah); his soul with the subtle ‘world of formation’ (olam hayetsirah); and his body, with the sensory ‘world of fact’ (olam ha’asiyah). (Leo Schaya, The Universal meaning of the Kabbalah, p. 70).

Even from this quotation alone, the great mystical depths of the essence of G-d, Creation and the Human Being and their inter-relationship, according to the Kabbalah, can be seen. It is not by chance then that the Old Testament, with the concept of the Tree of Life in it, in a very profound, archetypal way, is at the basis of Christianity and Islam, testifying for thousands of years to the Divine Testament of Truth.

We could summarise that all people who experience the eternal Divine Truth about God, Creation and the Human Being, made in the image and likeness of God, realise the Testament of Truth! Let me give a few examples:

In the Hindu tradition, the Divine Guru Babaji (an incarnation of Krishna, according to Sri Yogananda in his Autobiography of a Yogi) has a perfect physical body with which he is able to materialise and dematerialise at will. His heavenly transfigured body shines with all the colours of the rainbow emanating from his open chakras. As a Mahavatar  (Great Avatar – a descent of Divinity into flesh), he is a personification of the Divine Light itself which constitutes his universal body. It is not by chance that the three perfect bodies of every great Hindu Master are the theme for so many legends, myths and miracles inspiring  millions of followers of the Hindu tradition.

The same mystery of perfection can be ascribed to Gautama Buddha in his appearance with three perfect bodies – nirmänakäya, sambhogakäya and dharmakäya  – in the three Buddhist worlds respectively, the worlds of gross forms, subtle forms and without forms (please, see the Post, The Heavenly Jerusalem – Mandala Meditation, from December 12, 2022). And again, the depths of the Buddhist spiritual cosmos and the possibility of achieving Nirvana is based on the essence of these three perfect bodies and the relationship between them.

The richness of the spiritual culture in Christianity in which the three perfect bodies of the Lord Jesus Christ and the relationship between them is interpreted and appreciated, is practically inexhaustible indeed. For instance, the Lord Jesus Christ manifested the mystery of God the Son in all three worlds: a) in an earthly human form as a particular historical person: She will have a son, and you will name him Jesus. (Matthew 1: 21); b) in a celestial, transfigured form as spiritual light personified: Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and the brothers James and John and led them up a high mountain where they were alone. As they looked on, a change came over Jesus: his face was shining like the sun, and his clothes were dazzling white. (Matthew 17: 1-2); c) in cosmic-spiritual, Divine form as the Universal Logos: Before the world was created, the Word already existed; he was with God, and he was the same as God. From the very beginning the Word was with God. Through him God made all things . . . (John 1:1-3). The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us.  We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father’s only Son.  (John 1: 14).

The Muslim tradition acknowledges the same Divine perfection of the universal body of Muhammad as well as the Divine perfection of the universal bodies of Christ, Buddha and Babaji. In a similar way to the perfection of the celestial bodies of Christ, Buddha and Babaji, the celestial body of Muhammad contains all Divine potential and human virtues.  As to the perfect physical incarnation of Muhammad on Earth, it is acknowledged that the Prophet possessed ’eminently both the human (näsüt) and the spiritual (lähüt) natures’. This is why the followers of this spiritual tradition have such great love and appreciation for Muhammad, the Founder of Islam, calling him with Ninety-nine Most Beautiful  Names.

In a sense, these Divine Masters, together with their Feminine Counterparts, and many others, formed the Messianic Line of the Indo-European cosmic cycle. Because most of them promised to come again to help humankind for the next cosmic cycle, we have to meet them and to receive their New Initiations for the Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle. Hence, the Mission of the Current Messiah(s) is connected with the past, present and future in the life of humankind and the facilitation of the transition from the outgoing Indo-European cycle to the coming new Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle, fulfilling the Eternal Divine Testament of Truth.

In the next Posts, without structuring, and in no particular order, I will start developing some themes for the coming new Heavenly-Jerusalem reality. Their purpose is to discuss some substantial and sensitive concepts, which could resolve long existing problems in human society, trace the Path towards the higher worlds and clarify the Mission of the Current Messiah(s).
