Original Design Of Gospels: The Gospels were designed to evolve the mind of the seeker beyond what Paul portrayed as the “animal-soul” level of “natural” human consciousness, into a condition of mental and spiritual maturity — thereby enabling the necessary subsequent stages of birth to be brought about (see Mental-Womb). And the scriptures were able to accomplish this by presenting to the reader important allegorical symbols that employed the process of Anamnesis to connect and prepare the person to receive ultra-important impressions from their Inner Self (see SoulSelf.org ) — thereby enabling the sincere seeker to begin to tap into the Inner Source of Knowledge and Truth that Enlightens the mind of the seeker. The problem is that the scriptures can only function in accord with their original design, when used in accord with the original objectives of the authors. Thus, by using the process of Anamnesis which enables the seeker to evolve their mind and thinking beyond organic (“natural”) limitations that has cast mankind into what the Gospel portrays as the “outer darkness” of mind and being, the seeker/disciple is able to bring heaven and earth together within him, and consciously become restore to the Edenic Kingdom. Which provokes the question: If it is true that the purpose of the scriptures was to initiate the expansion and deepening of the mind in order to attain a spiritually mature level of consciousness, then what did the authors of the scriptures know that is not know today — either by modern religious leaders, or those who are portrayed as teachers in academia? The answer to this question will be as difficult for the modern reader to come to terms with, because we erroneously believe that we know and understand a great deal more than the people of the past — when in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. It is simply inconceivable to modern academia that while their very methods of education impose upon them a condition of being mentally flat-lined and self-imposed stagnation, it will remain virtually impossible for them to come to terms with the reality that there were enlightened people in the past who possessed a base of knowledge that they are totally ignorant of. And this base of knowledge can best be portrayed as Self-Knowledge — about which Jesus stated in the Gospel of Thomas: “Jesus said, …But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty”. In today’s cultural environment no person in modern academia would even seriously consider the reality presented in this statement. Those who believe they are highly educated and knowing, remain absolutely clueless as to what is being portrayed in the reality of the words, Know Thyself. It would be virtually impossible for them to understand that they presently dwell in a state of intellectual-poverty. Yet, because they fail to understand what can be portrayed as the Cosmology of Mind and Being (see Tree of Life) — in conjunction with the Natural Laws of Creation — academia remains mentally flat-lined with absolutely no chance of true enlightenment. Why? Because they have built their paradigm of thinking upon a seriously flawed foundation that has left them shackled in the dungeon of abject ignorance.
When rightly understood, the purpose of the Gospels was to present the sincere seeker with a ladder to climb out of the human condition portrayed as the “outer darkness” of mind and being — the plight of being a prisoner in Plato’s Cave of Illusions — both of which undeveloped conditions of mind are portrayed as dwelling under the control of the Citizen of the Far Country in the parable of the Prodigal Son. And what the scriptures provided the sincere seeker was a ladder to climb out — level upon level — the plight of organic man to overcome his inherent condition of human ignorance.
