M Scott Peck and Dave Tomlinson's Psychological and Spiritual Development in Christ and out of Christ


Introduction to this post
The last post I did was on Church run in the Melchizedek Order. I woke up a few days ago with a Spirit adjustment. I had been writing that the Church is currently like the Holy Place, where the table of Shewbread is all divided neatly into separate tribal portions.  The Holy Spirit corrected me. No, the current Church is not in all one place. Both Israel and the 12 disciples WERE. That's a BIG DIFFERENCE.

Then I was reminded of all the stabs I have had at explaining the TRUTH of JESUS CHRIST as something that was held in ABBREVIATED FORM  in the MIDST of the 12 TRIBES, almost like a crucible. Certainly held in tension. Earlier blog postings have been
Truth as a suspended orb between 12 surrounding electromagnets....(Yup my Dad was a physics and chemistry teacher)
Or the fact that I as a piano tuner have to tune 12 piano strings in a precise compromise, to be able to handle all 12 keys. In this current fallen universe....it doesn't naturally fall into pure beatless intervals any more. It's like something is squished out of alignment.

So I did a Google Search for an image of 12 shewbread which were to be found in the Holy Place because they are an allusion to the whole charismatic church realm....the transition realm to life lived in the thirdlevel or Holiest Place.

What I found was quite a shock. Since it was an exact mirror of what I had been sensing in my spirit. A few weeks ago John Castleman put up a post referencing the 144,000.....and I kind of saw it suddenly as this weave of 12 inteconnecting tribes each passing 1000 points of information between them (12  x  12   x  1000)...so numerically it is a representation of the fully functioning church....rather than purely  quantity of individuals. SEE LOOM ART end of this post

Then as I read the article below called Transformation at Dawn I could see so many parallels to the Way of the Holy Spirit, so then i realised ...the ways are God's laid down prescriptions for getting us from a to b whether we are Christian atheist or Luciferian. There ARE differences, but the big one is the one St John uses in his epistles to determine "of which spirit are ye?"
The spirits that are not of God deny Jesus come in the flesh.  If Jesus came in the flesh as the Son of Man, the only begotten of the Most High....then the Old Adamic order is in trouble!!!!!
Demons hate any reference to this  and they hate any reference to the Blood of Jesus Christ and His body death carrying us into the grave with Him, to be raised anew hidden with Christ in God.

So, don't feel you have to read the bottom Golden Dawn article which is about as far into Luciferianism as you can imagine. These are the sort of writings you will see Alice Bailey, Helena Blavatsky, Gurdjieff and Aleister Crowley writing.

At which point, and this freaks first and secondlevellers out....the differences of Good and Evil at this higher level, and this would include the White Tibetan order and also the Dalai Lama, are so subtle, that it is the Holy Spirit who reveals which spirit people are moving by.

Written to  Brian Coatney ,and first Sylvia Pearce in different words this weekend

Isaiah 60 describes the world on a journey where Light and Darkness get separated until it really is that stark a choice. At the moment in secularism everything appears quite foggy. Psalm 2 states absolutely clearly the real underground principles upon which the world system is run and through Fritz Spiringmeier's work this is now a proven fact. Evangelicals and charismatics still see after the flesh and they pray after the flesh. They pray against ISIS, but never pray against the covert organisations that raised ISIS into being. They used to pray against Ghaddafi training all the terrorists...but never prayed against the people who had set him apart to to world terrorism.....even Rees Howells, raised in such a world view was praying against the three dictators, but never knew the same organisation of Darkness in the UK created them all.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Coming out of nowhere this may look really weird but it is actually huge. I was trying to explain to Christine why this is such a big find this weekend. It's sort of like tunnel builders starting at both ends and suddenly meeting each other.

Jessie Penn Lewis was a thirdleveller BUT she came OUT of the Pentecostal tradition....not that there was too much tradition in the 20s. So did George Warnock in the 50s.

Norman Grubb only had a brief encounter with Jessie for a few hours, but whereas she wanted to get him properly baptised in the Spirit....what actually happened was the sense of the Presence of the Lord in that meetup was the internal confirmation of Norman's stand on Galatians 2:20.

Although it personally freaks me out that Norman never knew what we term the Baptism in the Spirit....and who knows what may have happened if he had had that breakthrough....what has been most interesting is how Norman has come from an evangelical direction, with extremely acute articulation coming from a Cambridge mind, but within the context of a world mission, to the conclusions 60 years later of YES I AM.

Norman comes from the evangelical individual experience.
Once baptised in the Spirit, most of us are streaming in from a Body experience, and usually a bit quicker, like the disciples, who were 12 working together in mission.

Norman doesn't cover the Tabernacle and he doesn't really tackle Jewish Feasts. These largely have to do with the Body walk, so it is natural that George Warnock go on to write about these and influence a whole Apostolic generation (using the word as a denomination) such as Sam Fife and the Move, and the Manifest sons movement.

Why is the website above important, especially in the article called Transformation?
How can anything associated with Golden Dawn be important? Aren't they the same Rothschild Movement behind Freemasonry, Albert Pike, the world wars, the revolutionary movements, the bankers, all the blood shed, and finally the Protocols?

YES THEY ARE. But as this script shows.....this is where they are really at......a kind of mirror to what God is doing in His Kingdom. They are deceived into thinking that the christ is being formed in them, but as far as I can make out they never exchange spirit. So the same Satan-I develops through to total possession....but they believe that in their godhood....and self-realisation they are in charge!!!!
But history testifies as to what mayhem has been caused through them. They say.....AH.....but we mean this, as the protocols of the Elders of Zion show....
It's the Hegelian opposite to what we are trying to bring forth
A NEW transcendent Order where our Lucifer shines bright!!!! the wars are just the necessary Taoist "through stages".....got to do BAD to do GOOD.

This is deep stuff, what I am writing....not to look great....but to point out this is the hinge on which everything is turning.

The 4 BOX diagram, nicked and slightly adjusted off M Scott Peck (Different Drum) and Dave Tomlinson (Post Evangelical) and renumbered to fit 1 John 2 and the three stages of growth, start to show how all this stuff works.
PECK and TOMLINSON included the "presocialisation or antisocial stage as their first category. I have just shifted the numbering along to comply with the first stage whereby God collars us in 1 John 2.
Peck and Tomlinson are very sketchy on what BOX 3 is, other than saying it is a time of re-integration, and they don't allow for a BOX 4.

Basically Isaiah 60 implies the world is being separated out into Light and Darkness. We are heading for manifestation of spirit realities.
David Spangler, spiritual advisor to the United Nations continues the tradition of Blavatsky and Alice Bailey and Golden Dawn, in wanting to INDUCT people into a LUCIFERIAN WORLD, they believe , of ENLIGHTENMENT. Their term is EXTERNALISATION of HIERARCHY. BOX4

Our phrase is manifest sons BOX 3, the mature form of KNOWING HIM who is from the beginning.

Basically BOX 3 is a Romans 12, 1 form of Total Possession by the Deity spirit .....God the Father of Mankind

BOX 4 is possession by the sons of Darkness, fallen angels and Lucifer.

Chris Welch Both boxes here relate to the transformation article in this website.
http://www.greatdreams.com/.../transformation-at-dawn.html
The true nature of how this world is run is only laid bare as we enter the thirdlevel in practice. William Branham knew a lot of these things but the world went out on him that he had "gone right off course".
The first and secondlevel brands of the gospel don't begin to touch any of this stuff and it continues unchallenged century after century.
This was the level Jesus lived at and challenged Luciferian rule directly in everything He did.....and this is the level God is bringing His mature Church into
***************************
Our GROWTH personally and interpersonally as spirit beings in a material world regardless of which is our guiding spirit.....is a fairly laid out course, designed and created by God.
It rains on the righteous and the unrighteous
The sequences in which cells build to form a baby are all mapped out according to a natural sequence.

What we have mapped out in the Transformation article is a rather codified, step by step initiation procedure, whereby a human moves from their outer forms of inner seeing in Box 1 and 2.....
to then moving beyond duality into single eye territory.
OUR single eye territory is to see ONLY GOD in all things....whether in a PURE FORM of HIM directly acting to bring forth sons, or whether in the derived form of His life, Satan's self for self existence....as bringing obstacles and attacks, which God through prayer and Union always works
everything to good, exercising ULTIMATE LORDSHIP....
so sufferings....yes....but not even to be compared with the eternal weight of glory.

BECAUSE becoming spiritual beings involves the same processes regardless of whether we do it in some secret order, like some Golden Dawn, or Hermetic Order or whether we do it in Christ and hopefully ever increasingly within thirdlevel church environments like Revelation 12....the woman with the Manchild.....the actual steps
are similar. Satan hasn't anything else to work with, so he works with the order God has created, but he works from self for self.

Where it gets exceedingly subtle is at the very top of his orders.....the Solar Cult and the White Tibetan order....
and all the Jesuit Opus Dei people flagellating themselves...

Buddhists talk about LOVE and LIGHT and self giving....read the Dahlai Lama

But they never once talk about a change of spirit
a switch of spirit
a deliverance from an indwelling spirit of Darkness
to an indwelling Jesus Christ of Nazareth....the  One ON OF MAN and SON OF GOD who is God in the flesh.....come that we may believe  on Him.

No spirit of Darkness John writes will own the Virgin Birth,
this total cut off from the Adamic nature...because that is their ticket to continued rental upon planet earth.

To save anybody wading through in too puzzled a fashion...here are some key parallels that I was pointing out to Sylvia.

1, VISUALISATION.....as we leave BOX 1 and our linear world of fourlegs good and two legs bad, and become more aware that it is not just the WHAT we are doing....it;'s more about the spirit behind why we are doing it...
In BOX 2 Land of the secular world....we don't call this spirit....we call this internal attitude or motivation or agenda
The spiritual path is to VISUALISE spiritual entities and spiritual ways of behaviour....

What we as Christians do is MEDITATE on the Word, But more and more in worship we are LOOKING at the Mirror Reflection.....we are seeing Christ in us the hope of Glory .
The mature have by exercise trained their senses according to RIGHTEOUSNESS....whose? Jesus in us....freely given at the Cross.
2, The breakdown of our first constructed personality
The leftbrain CRUST, hastily assembled to function in our world....but much of it isn't even real. For a time it looks as if we are having a breakdown....but really we are going inside to find our true self. Jesus called it true prayer. Going into our secret room and finding the Father in secret. Shutting the door to our external shoddily cobbled together self.
Becoing as a little child again and letting God form the real us, or take us back to the real us, as now (Proverbs 3) we acknowledge Him in everything
3. Notice the reference to the snake in the wilderness raised up? This is total reality for us as Christians....it's not even some "helpful fable" to help us in visualisation. This is the actual process of Hebrews 4.11 doing that penetrating work dividing between soul and spirit.....and here soul really means the delusion of a separately empowered and driven soul....the original lie.
4. NOTICE the interconnected 12 circles picture? I have been working at this for several years since Florida Lakeland
events were going on....traces can be seen in my blog.
What does it mean for us?
As i have been writing in my current posts it means like
tuning a piano ( or more like accurately detuning the 12 strings in a piano to be able to perform in any key))
12 pieces of SHEWBREAD TRUTH....representing all the 12 tribes way of doing things and seeing things....is itself the interwoven crucible whereby we mature and are accelerated into third level living. The 12 disciples lived with Jesus. And the 12 tribes cohabited....(for a while) to create that CITY compacted together which is the manifest
interrelation of humans carrying the DNA love fellowship of the Trinity, in incarnate form. A WONDERFUL,FEARFUL,JOYOUS PLACE!!!!!

TRANSFORMATION AT DAWN   The Original Article is Here

Alchemical Transformation in the Golden Dawn
This article was written by Lyam Thomas Christopher
posted under Kabbalah
The Great Work is not an easy task for the human animal. It is the alchemical change from human to more-than-human, and it brings the student of the occult into a direct relationship with the predicament of mortality and with the compromises that he has made in order to survive in the material world. Plunging into these issues when most people would turn back, the student finds himself on a journey through disillusionment, self-doubt, and a dreadful loss of purpose—and possibly a journey that arrives at a new vista of life going far beyond what ordinary consciousness can fathom. In the process of this magical work, life usually gets worse before it gets better. The immortal Self awakened by the Golden Dawn’s Kabbalistic techniques, by its very definition, brings with it a permanent joy and realization, yes, but these rewards are obtained by a journey through darkness. For the true thrust of the Golden Dawn comes as an assault from within. The Great Work brings forth an inner truth that destroys what we hold most dear. It dissolves from the inside the stranglehold that our biology has upon our spirit, subduing the animal and calling forth the god.
This is not good news to the ego, the “assumed identity” that you and I have adopted in order to survive in the world. We have spent at least eighteen years creating a fully functional personality capable of finding food and shelter, forming profitable relationships, and rearing offspring. To discover other possibilities beyond this baseline of existence poses a threat. The human animal fears the power of magic because, in its essence, magic seeks to supplant the animal motives with deeper ones. It seeks to penetrate beyond the boundaries of our daily survival drama. The fact that the body, which you and I work so hard to care for, is mortal—and obviously expendable in the hands of some deeper purpose—is the last reality we want to face!

For those of us morbid enough to value this kind of self-discovery there are available the hidden traditions that still maintain magical practices of self-transformation. The grade system of the Golden Dawn spells out one such program of practice for us. Granted, there are many modern-day offshoots of the Golden Dawn that have become too “respectable” and mainstream to explore the darkness of the human soul. They teach the rudiments of Kabbalah and Egyptology, revealing to us secret handshakes and granting us prestigious certificates, all while oozing an aura of empty mystery with every email. But for those of us who are looking for more than diplomas and historical trivia, there are the less impressive curricula that still teach the distasteful, hands-on work of killing and resurrecting the human animal.

To begin this not-so-glamorous process of transformation, the Golden Dawn student enters the first grade of the Outer Order: Neophyte. In most temples, the student’s primary responsibility in this grade is to perform two exercises every day: the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) and the Middle Pillar. He must also complete a small amount of reading, study, and group ritual, but these formalities, as important as they can be, are secondary to the actual daily practice of self-initiation.

The LBRP and Middle Pillar exercises restructure the psyche of the student and set the stage for the transformation process to begin. To do this, the LBRP creates a cleared “space” within the student’s imagination. He draws a magic circle of protection, he intones Hebrew names of God, and he draws sigils with the intention of warding off the influences of the material world from his inner landscape. Following this, the Middle Pillar exercise invokes the highest, purest spiritual light from the student’s divine aspect, drawing it downward into the cleared space and into his body, all the way to the feet. The student thereby identifies himself with a continuum of pure, unconditioned consciousness. He becomes the Middle Pillar of the Tree of Life. This is not so much pictured as an actual tree, but as a framework of interconnected spheres, which symbolizes the creation of the universe from spirit into matter.

Neophyte is a probationary grade. By creating this cleared space, the student introduces himself to future possibilities. If he isn’t yet ripe for spiritual change, his ego has a chance to wage its war of resistance and win. And it often does win. The student who isn’t ready for transformation either stops the process honestly and quits the Golden Dawn (usually for very “rational” reasons) or he joins the social club of New Age charlatans, accumulating grades, certificates, and a storehouse of impressive and useless information. Invisible to him are the students who proceed onward into the inner roller-coaster ride of the grades that follow. No one can fully understand the changes that come next, except those who have gone before.

The next step then is to jump-start the process of dissolving the personality. The student proceeds into the realm of the four Elemental grades:
Zelator = Earth
Theoricus = Air
Practicus = Water
Philosophus = Fire

In each of these grades, he uses Kabbalistic ritual to call forth one of the Four Elements, experiencing intimately its inner psychic correspondences. His personality becomes temporarily unbalanced, preoccupied with anything that corresponds to that Element. In Zelator (the Earth grade), for example, he feels the heaviness and the grit of life in the world. The physicality of everything around him comes into sharp focus. Even the supposedly exalted phenomenon of light can appear as darkness, as just one kind of brick in the tomb of matter. In Theoricus (the Air grade), thoughts and daydreams become overly pronounced. Elation, wonder, and the temptation to chase after glamorous images become commonplace. This gives the student a chance to reach a better understanding of his powers of imagination and his habits of thought, and to organize them and eliminate obsessions. In Practicus (the Water grade), the student gains gradual perspective over emotion and intuition, seeing these as a playing field that reveals the influence of higher forces, similar to the way that the surface of water that displays the influence of wind. And lastly, in the Fire grade, his ritual invocations fan the flames of his animal powers. Passions and instincts rise from below, and the old personality begins to burn away and disappear.

These four grades call forth, purify, and consolidate the each of the Elements, showing how these four come together to produce the illusion of the personality. The student discovers that his ego isn’t inherently real or composed of any singular essence, but rather that it is an arbitrary patchwork, woven together from separate Elemental threads. The false image of the ego shows itself for what it is, and the question of whether anything lies beyond its ingredients becomes serious.

A new perspective begins to dawn, and the student realizes that the real work hasn’t even begun yet. The Elemental grades actually comprise the preliminary work, and a new landscape awaits him as he readies himself to embark on the Great Work itself.

The next task then is to balance the Elements—the facets of the personality—until their unity-in-diversity yields forth something more than the sum of its parts. The Portal Grade is therefore the last grade of the Outer Order, and it reverses the process of disintegration brought on via the Elemental-Grade exercises. All four Elements, which now stand in the four quarters (North, South, East, and West) symbolically untangled from one another, are brought back together meaningfully. This reintegration creates a healthy, sturdy base on which (or within which) to ignite the “oven” of the Great Work.

In Portal and the grades that follow, the language of alchemy, which has remained unreliable and even impenetrable till now, begins to make sense. The sturdy foundation (or vessel) that the student has built via the Elemental grades becomes tangible to the inner senses as a sort of inner, ethereal body, neither energy nor matter. In the midst of the four Elements the newborn adept can discern, for the first time perhaps, a sort of stasis field within which he can manipulate the three hidden alchemical principles: Mercury, Sulfur, and Salt. As he proceeds into adeptship, he graduates from working with the four visible Elements (the outer facets of the quintessence) to the three invisible principles of the Trinity (the inner aspects of the quintessence). These three supernal principles, expressed in their raw form, are the Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury of alchemy, and they comprise the intangible "guts" of the Four Elements, beneath the "skin" of tangible sensation. They must not be confused with the salt, sulfur, and mercury of common experience.

Into the stasis field—alchemical Salt—the magician begins to concentrate Mercury, the volatile, meandering aspect of mind, and Sulfur, discipline and concentration. His visualization ability now acts from a higher dimension, and it becomes nearly impossible to relay these deeper activities in words. But this kind of magical work has many symbols that attempt to explain it. The alchemists have sometimes represented the process as a crucified serpent, such as the serpent that Moses affixed to a cross in the desert. The cross represents the framework established by the preliminary work (Salt), the Serpent represents the volatile mind (Mercury), and the nails represent the fixation, the restraint and focus (Sulfur) applied to the volatile mind. The adept, in other words, is now capable of working with the quintessence. He can use visualization, breath, and ritual actions to contain his mind’s volatile tendency (Mercury) within a localized area (Salt) and concentrate it to crystallize into manifestation (via the principle of Sulfur). The end product of this effort is the legendary philosopher’s stone, none other than manifested spirit. His body begins to transform and take on the quality of invisible radiance.

Another image that represents this idea is that of the squared circle, common to Renaissance magicians. Renaissance humanists symbolized the unexpressed, divine self of an individual as a circle (Mercury). It’s expression in matter, in the outer world, they visualized as a square (Salt). So, for the magician of antiquity, the squared circle—or circle with a square drawn around it—represented manifested spirit. Sulfur he represented as a point in the center of the circle. The point is the constant, balanced pressure (or meditation) that gradually pushes spiritual potential into matter, forcing it to crystallize and come forth.

To summarize then, the Work in the Golden Dawn’s Outer Order is to dissolve the false personality and make it disappear. The Work in the Inner Order is to call forth the true “personality,” to make it appear or express itself tangibly in the physical world. Though at first glance, the mysticism of the Golden Dawn seems to focus on dissolving the self into spirit, become more subtle and airy, it may come as a surprise to many that the further work of the inner order actually reverses this process such that the adept actively comes out into the world as a direct expression of his Higher Self. In the open air of awakening, his outer world of appearances is consumed by the Worlds within and by the very process of transformation itself. His very presence, without effort, begins to act as a catalyst for magical change wherever he goes.
