from Jesus:
Ask yourself a few questions.
Why would God hide a code in a spiritual teaching that was originally
given as direct revelation and which was passed on in an oral tradition?
Why insert a code that could not be interpreted until thousands of years
later when people invented computers?
In order to believe in such a code, you have to believe that although
God supposedly gave humankind the Bible as a result of direct revelation,
God somehow lost the ability to give direct revelation after the Bible
was given. In other words, God must have known that he had only one
shot at giving people divine revelation, and therefore he had to insert
a code that people could interpret later, when they had computers but
no revelation.
When you think about this, it simply doesn't make sense. God is almighty,
so God could never lose the ability to communicate with human beings.
So why would God insert a code in a communication that was given thousands
of years ago in order to communicate a message that he could just as
easily communicate today through direct revelation? When you truly understand
the reality of progressive revelation, which has been ongoing far longer
than recorded history and will be ongoing for the indefinite future,
then there really is no need for a hidden code in the Bible.
It is perfectly true that any true spiritual teaching can be interpreted
at many different levels. This is expressed in the saying:
But without a parable
spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all
things to his disciples. (Mark 4:34)
So there are different levels
of understanding of my teachings, corresponding to different levels
of spiritual maturity. Nevertheless, the hidden understanding does not
take the form of a code that can be interpreted only by a computer.
It takes the form of teachings that cannot be understood by the carnal
mind. The true meaning can be unlocked only when the student raises
his or her consciousness above the level of the carnal mind and makes
contact with his or her Christ self.
Why this sudden interest in and discovery of the so-called bible code?
Part of it is that humankind's consciousness is being raised, which
makes it easier for people to recognize hidden patterns. I have already
commented on this elsewhere.
However, another part of the explanation is that since the Fall some
people have been looking for a mechanical means to salvation. These
people love computers, which are, contrary to popular belief, entirely
mechanical devices and will never achieve any real intelligence. A computer
can only recognize mechanical patterns, yet Christhood cannot be attained
in a mechanical matter—even though many false teachers want you
to believe that this is possible. This is the way that seems right unto
a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death (Proverbs 14:12).
The simple fact is that the computer cannot extract real information.
It can only analyze a literary work and compare it to the values that
are programmed into the computer by the operator. So the type of codes
that can be found in the Bible will be determined by what the operator
is looking for. This is very similar to what has already been discovered
by quantum physics, namely that the consciousness of the observer will
inevitably influence the observation.
The truth behind this "discovery" is that as long as people
are trapped in the duality of the carnal mind, they will tend to see
what they want to see. Only when you rise above duality and attain the
true vision of the Christ mind will you see that which is real.
In reality, you can take almost any sufficiently lengthy and complex
literary work and find some kind of code or pattern. However, as quantum
physicists ask, “Is the world really there when no one is looking?”
Likewise, you might ask, “Is the Bible code really there when
no one is looking?”
There are certain literary works in which the author deliberately inserted
a cipher code. This was done in societies where persecution from church
or state made it dangerous for the author to reveal certain information.
Therefore, the information was preserved in a code that could be read
only by those who had the key. Examples of this are the works of Francis
Bacon and Shakespeare. However, as I explained above, God has no need
to use such codes. God and the Ascended Host can at any time use direct
revelation to convey our messages.
Concerning the first question, and the statement that you don't believe
I am Jesus Christ, let me first say that I honor you for still being
willing to ask a question. The hallmark of a true spiritual seeker is
that you are willing to look for truth wherever it can be found. However,
please do not confuse the messenger with the source of the message.
I truly am Jesus Christ; I am simply speaking through a human messenger
and I am doing this to prove the point that I was an example to follow
and not an idol to worship. Therefore, those who dare to follow in my
footsteps and apply my teachings will become the open door for my Christhood,
as I was the open door for the Christhood of him that sent me.
