The Kingdom of the Heavens

7.10.1993
Again a small revision: What is, always was and always will be is the Absolute Infinite
Be-ness, God, the Father. What is "God, the Father" - according to Joshua Emmanuel, the
Christ: "Allaha”? - Nobody can know. The only thing the human intelligence and the
human beings know is, that this is the absolute infinite reality, life itself.
But what's the life? We simply know something concerning the life from the phenomena
of life around us. We are living. We know something what's life but not exactly what is
LIFE ITSELF. What can we understand about God, the Absolute Infinite Being-ness?
That in it is the self-sufficiency, the total wisdom and the almightiness. Nothing is beyond
its power. And you can see this in all the universes in the creation. Even on the gross-
material world.
Now, we know also, that in the Absolute Infinite Being-ness there are many, many
billions and billions beings - the Absolute Infinite Being-ness in its plurality. In that One-
ness all those beings are similar and one. There was always our spirit-being, our real-self.
Each one of you is a being, spirit-being, in the Absolute Infinite Being-ness - which
means: God, a god in the infinite being-ness one-ness.
Now, apart from the characteristics of the Absolute Infinite Being-ness, we know as self-
sufficiency, total wisdom and almightiness, we can see also its will-pleasure to manifest
itself in itself, in his omnipresence. Then we can understand what we mean by total
wisdom and almightiness. And we can understand also what Joshua Emmanuel, the
Christ, the God-man, was saying: "the kingdom of the heavens".
Now, Joshua Emmanuel, the Christ, was an Essene. What was an Essene? An Israelite
having as his mother language the Greek language and the Aramaic language. So he was
an Israelite also, from this aspect, as an Essene. We said he was using both the languages:
the Greek of that time and the Aramaic language. He used to say to his disciples, to his
disciples-healers, also Israelites and Essenes: in the Greek language: 'tonuranoni wassilîa'
(?) - "the kingdom of the heavens" - and in Aramaic "malkutha d'bwaschmâja", which
means "the kingdom of the heavens".
HE spoke about seven heavens, explaining what are these heavens: the worlds in which
the Absolute Infinite Being-ness and the Holy Archangels, now, the beings in the
Absolute Being-ness, passing through the will-pleasure of manifestation, they classify
themselves to their archangelic order. So, Joshua Emmanuel, the God-man, speaking of
the kingdom of the heavens, says for the gross-material world, we are living in, the third
heaven. He used to say in the Greek language of that time 'tonuranoni wassilîa bidisghis'
(?) - the kingdom of the heavens on earth, and in Aramaic "malkutha d'bwaschmâja af
b'arha".
Joshua Emmanuel, the Christ, while being in Egypt, only 6 years old, starting to learn as
a pupil in the Essene school of Heliopolis Greek, Aramaic a n d Latin, he was to teach
also the "Sepharia seraph" (?), all the creation, 6 years old, 7, and then started teaching
about the kingdom of the heavens till he was 33. We read in the New Testament about the
kingdom of the heavens. We read what the kingdom of the heavens is in reality and in
expression. Now I explain it as he was explaining it at that time.
Speaking about the first dimension, the first heaven, that's a hypothetical point in the
mind, not a point on a surface, because that comes to the second dimension. Now, what is
the second dimension? Representation of something around us in the material world on a
surface. A painter can represent on a canvas a beautiful, lovely landscape. So, the second
dimension is the representation of something existing in the worlds. Of course: not the
surface of the canvas - the representation on the canvas! So, what we see in a
representation, in the second dimensional world? We can see color, the colors, the whole
representation of things existing in the three-dimensional world: mountains, rivers,
oceans, seas, lakes, hills, even the phenomena of life, which are moving. But we cannot
see on this second-dimensional world: motion. So, there is not motion in the second-
dimensional world.
No movement!
Now, what about size and sizes? What we call size, we can just understand it by
comparison in the world of the three-dimensions. In the second-dimensional world we
cannot see sizes. We see only representations - in any size. So, this is the second
dimension.
The third dimension is our gross-material world. What things are in the three-dimensional
world? Everything existing in the gross-material world, from the worm ... all phenomena
of life - and all things. Our planet is three-dimensional. And everything existing on the
planet is three-dimensional, having length, breadth and height, these three characteristics
of the three-dimensional world. Now, our planet, the whole solar system, the galaxy, the
galaxies, everything gross-material belongs to the three-dimensional world, the world of
existence. So, everything taking place, giving us presentations is three-dimensional. And
we see in the gross-material world the world of the creation now, what we call:
beginning, continuous existence and an end, which means "change and movement". And
then this gives us the impression of comparison and of sizes. But what are these sizes
now? How do we understand and comprehend sizes of things?
You have a h u g e tree. You are under that huge tree. You can see flowers, fruits, leaves,
branches, birds flying in the branches of it. You might say that you see it in its real size.
But how you are aware of the existence of that tree? By the etherial vibrations, we call
light - which vibrations are coming from the sun. So you see, what we consider, the real
size of that tree.
Going away from the tree you can see it again from the distance. How do we see it now?
In its real size? According to the distance you are, you see it so small or so big. If you go
far away, you see just a greenish spot. Yet on that tree, you have seen before, are the
fruits, the leaves, the branches and the birds flying in it. But now, with this "little balls
full of water, you call the "eyes", you see a greenish spot there.
So, what we call "distance" on the material world changes everything. Now human
beings invented the telescope. You have a very powerful telescope now. And you see that
greenish spot there through the telescope. You see it, as if y o u were there. You can see
the flowers, the fruits, the birds, the branches, as if you are there. Did the tree come to
you? Did you go to the tree? But we see it so near now! You see everything happening
there. Which means, that you are not seeing the tree but the rays of the light coming to
you.

So, going away from something the rays of the light are changing their distance amongst
them. And you see things very small from far away. But with the telescope you separate
that .... (light?) again and you see it, as if you were there. What I mean to say? That in
this gross-material world everything is i l l u s i o n !
Now, you are in a car: let us see, what we call "distance". You are driving that car to go
somewhere. You are running with the car. But you don’t feel it. You see everything near
coming towards you and vanishing behind you: houses, trees, animals, coming and
vanishing behind you. And you don't feel, you are moving. You feel: everything is
moving towards you. Do things change their place? This is also an illusion.
Now, the sun rises. We shall start now studying what is in the gross-material world of the
three-dimensions: light and colors! The light is not visible. Yet it can be changed into
many, many colors. We said yesterday, that the light traveling through space cannot be
seen in a dark sky. But we can see the things, it strikes on them and is reflected.
Now, the sun rises, you see it going up in the sky, to set in the other side of the earth.
Another illusion! Of course, the sky, the sun in the heavens, the whole solar system, is
moving around the galaxy. But being on the planet we think that the sun rises from the
east and sets in the west. In reality our planet is moving around its axes. This is another
illusion!
Another illusion again: You see the sun rising all reddish, bigger, you see the clouds there
changing colors, lovely colors. You have a very lovely sunrise. This is an illusion. People
living in the places under those clouds, they see them white or heavy or like the lead.
They don't see them rosy, yellowish, greenish and /in/ all those lovely colors, you see in a
sunrise.
/The/ same happens when you see a nice sunset. And in all places on the planet we can
see lovely sunsets. Now, the clouds above your head, you see them white or heavy like
the lead. People in far distance, east or west, they see them as you see the sunrises and the
sunsets.
What is now color and light? Are these things reality? Of course they are reality. But they
are giving us illusion. So, on the material world all realities are giving illusions. Of
course, the seeker of the truth is searching all that. Why do I tell you all these things
about the gross-material world? So that you understand the difference between the gross-
material world of the three dimensions and the world of the four dimensions, we call the
"psychical world". And what I said yesterday: everything physical has its ethereal
counterpart and its so-called "psychical part".
Where is our psychical world, the psychical world of our planet? In the planet, around the
planet and - I said - many thousands of kilometers around the planet. This psychical
world will not mention the fifth-dimensional, I mean the ethereal world. We'll mention
now the psychical world. In the psychical world are everything and many, many more
things, which are not existing on the earth. But everything existing on the earth has its
counterpart, the psychical counterpart. Is the psychical world real? I'm telling you: it is
more real than the material world. Because the change is not as it is the change on the
material world. Things there are not weathering the flowers.
Now, let us describe the fourth-dimensional world: Are there in the fourth-dimensional
world solids, liquids, gases, just what we have on the gross-material world? Yes, of
course there are! But all these are sensations. Why do you feel something solid while
living in the material body? Because your material body vibrates on the same rate of
vibrations of something you call solid. So, what you understand as solid is through the
hands and touching it.
Orthodox science today found a great truth, which all the mystics knew all through these
centuries, which have passed. They say, that nothing is solid in reality.
Now, being self-conscious in the psychical world, which is here, it’s not far away, - and to
be self-conscious in the psychical world it means to change your vibrations. Suppose,
everything in the gross-material world vibrates between just from one to ten, the
psychical is from ten to twenty. But ....? /numbers it as the holy numbers ?!/ are
coinciding. 2 to 12, 3 to 13, 4 to 14, 5 to 15.
The same thing between the psychical world and the noetical world. 2 to 12 ---> 22 to 32.
And one, who has the self-consciousness in these worlds, has to learn that, just these
differences. Now, what I tell you, is of my own experiences. I am self-conscious or I am
self-super-conscious in all these worlds. Being in the psychical world on a counterpart of
the material world. But, of course, the psychical world is not only the material world. We
said, it extends thousands of kilometers above. Now, the material world is only part of the
surface of the planet. It doesn't go farther.
The psychical world is 7 planes or 49 sub-planes. Where is this space, which these sub-
planes are occupying? It's the same place - as space. But they change the sense of place.
So, the sense of place exists, and it exists everywhere in the psychical plane. It is very
difficult to understand that. Now, being in the psychical plane, of course, in the psychical
body, self-conscious, and I find myself in my room, in any house, in any room, can I
move a chair? Or a table? With my psychical hands? No. If I try, I see that my hand is
passing through that solid thing. Then you get the idea, that what is materially solid here,
is not in reality solid.
And you see, that, what is solid, is your psychical hand. If I want to move a chair or
something, I must lower the vibration of my psychical hand to the vibrations of that chair.
Then I can move it. I have done it many times. But I am telling you: This needs training.
Because the force is much greater, when it comes from the psychical world to the
material world - it needs much attention.
Now, what is solid? Solid is: how you feel it. The same difference is between also the
material, the psychical world and the noetical worlds. So, one seeker of the truth, after
gaining his self-super-consciousness, he must understand, how he vibrates. How he
vibrates in what way? How he is making his body vibrate. Then you understand, that you
are not the bodies. Now you are the self-ego, the self-consciousness, using your bodies:
the material body, the psychical body, the noetical body. And then you understand that: I
am using the bodies, which the holy archangels have built for me.
What are you then? Spirit-soul-ego. That's it, what is the reality for you and not the
worlds of illusion. Because I'm telling you: even the psychical world is giving illusions.
Less illusions. The noetical world is giving also illusions. Again, much less illusions. So
I'm telling you: the gross-material world is the world of total illusion! And you find it out
after observation and study.
So, the real world is not the gross-material world. And leaving the material body aside,
either through exosomatosis, out-of-the-body-experience, or through - what we say -
death of the material body: YOU ARE YOU! What's the difference now? This is what
you have to find out: What you are! Because even on the material world your real-self,
which is behind your personality-self, is GOD. But its expression as the personality-self
has to free itself from the illusions. And the greatest illusion is to think, that you are your
bodies, to think, that your real-self is the personality-self.
Well, really, our personality-self, hearing to a name of a woman or a man, is nothing? No!
Because the heart of it, the life of it, is our real-self. As no human body can live without
the heart and the pulse of life, no personal-self or the personality of a man can exist
without the real-self-soul in it. Then, what's our duty? To find that self in our personal-
self.
And Joshua Emmanuel, the Christ, gave a parable for it. He said: "A man was collecting
jewels, to varying values of that jewels. Until he found the most precious pearl. /He/ said:
'I don't want anything, all this is yours; I have found the most precious pearl!'" - When
they asked HIM, the disciples and the disciples-healers: "What's that precious pearl, you
mean?" HE said: "That searching and living in the worlds of experiences. You think that
yourself, interested in all that, is yourself - seeing in that time- and place-self certain
values - until you find your real-self - the precious pearl!" And then HE said: "What is the
gain of a human being, if he - we'd say - gains the whole world and he doesn't know his
soul-self? He is loosing his soul-self."
Another occasion, Joshua was speaking to one of the disciples, to one of the most
advanced disciples, to Phillipus. HE told him - asking him about something. He showed
with his hands, he was asking: "Me, Sir?" - And Joshua started laughing: "Why are you
showing to your body? Now, what you are showing, is not you! - And everybody is doing
that - now. If I ask, you say: 'Me?' And you show on your body. And that's not you." And
HE said: "What you show me is nothing! It might be from human point of view and from
the work of the holy archangels something splendid - the material body. And so it is, if
we study the anatomy. And what is the material body from the divine point of view - from
the soul - it's nothing!" HE said: "Don't be afraid of those, who can kill your material
body!"
--------------------------------------
Now, studying things, which are in the worlds - everything existing in the material world
- the laws, ruling this world, which are "change" and "form": the form under restrictions
in a gross-material body. And studying conditions in the psychical world - form, colors,
more colors, motion, in a different sense - then we see, that all these worlds are giving
sensations. But these sensations now are giving us a kind of self. Things happening all
around, which give us sensations, do not give these sensations to a tree there.
Now, this study and our divine nature of observation and our ability of knowing, which is
divine, we have to exercise in all the worlds: in the gross-material world, in the ethereal -
the in-between - world, the so-called psychical world, even the ethereal world around the
psychical world, in the noetical worlds. We can trace now: what is reality and what is
illusion. What do we find out? That nothing can exist giving illusion but that (?) there is
the reality behind it. And studying these illusions you can enter in the reality behind the
illusion. Knowledge about things in the material world is through comparison. In the
psychical world - yes, again through comparison. And this is given us, what we call "the
relative truth" or relative values. Now, in the psychical world, I tell you, it is more
difficult than what is in the material world.
Just studying values now. Do you have psychical values, as we have values in the gross-
material world? As a handful of gold, a handful of silver, a handful of lead, just a handful
of ice, which you cannot have it much /for long/ in your hand (?!), a handful of wheat.
Which is more precious? The handful of wheat or the handful of gold? From human point
of view of illusions - the handful of gold. This handful existed, is now and will exist, as it
is according to the values, we are giving it.
Joshua Emmanuel, the Christ, gave this example. He didn't say "a handful of gold" at that
time. But he said "a handful of diamonds". He asked them, his healer-disciples: "Which is
more precious - a handful of diamonds or a handful of wheat-seats, corn?" Most of them
said: "Of course a handful of diamonds.". HE said: "You are mistaken. This handful of
diamonds are stone. Plant them! Let them germinate!" They said: "Of course, they don't -
that." - "Get a handful of corn or a handful of any kind of seed/s/, plant them, on the
earth, on the soil, give water, the FATHER will give the sunshine and the air and the light.
They will grow! They will germinate and grow. And start going in the world of existence
in their circle of possibilities. Each seed according to its kind. So that the kingdom of the
heavens - "malkutha d'bwaschmâja" - is in that seed, in a little seed, maybe smaller than
the head of a small pin. Yet in that is the kingdom of the heavens. It is the total wisdom of
the archangels and of the Infinite Reality as the circle of the possibilities of its kind.

"What is the seed?", he said. It grows, it germinates and it grows. A mustard-seed! And
the kingdom of the heaven is just like a mustard-seed. Or as any other seed of any kind.
You see, when you plant it, germinating, growing, you can study the circle of existence
and of its possibilities of its kind. Each seed has its own circle of possibilities. But
planting it, germinating - is a phenomena. What's behind the phenomena? L i f e ! As he
said: "Hajad!" in Aramaic.
So, of course, we will not explain, what he meant by the other parables about the
"kingdom of the heavens" - "malkutha b'bwaschmâja". Now, we have to study all that.
Shall we change our sense on values? We have to! And I am putting you the question:
What is life in the phenomena of life? We can find and see life all around us. Now, seeing
the reality, seeing a snake - you like to kill it. Why? That's life! You say: "It will bite me."
Now, if you have this thought and hostility towards it, it will bite you. But if you love it,
it loves you, it will not bite you.
In Cyprus there was a bishop, they called him a saint. He had powers. - Of course: What's
a "saint"? Never mind; let us call him a saint. - It is said at that time, that a widow, who
was just in great need of money, went to him and told him: "Abba, can you lend me or
give me some money to save my house, which is in mortgage from being sold?" That
moment a snake was passing, because they were in the fields. What had he done? He put
his hand over the snake, it stopped. He got it, he made it golden. He said: "Give this
golden snake, but bring it back to me again, when you will be able to work, gain money -
then go and bring it back to me!"
Of course, she gave it to a goldsmith and said: "Don't touch it! Just keep it!" Well, she
gave the money back and got the golden snake, brought it to this Cypriot bishop. He put
it on the ground, he blessed it, it became a living snake going in the bushes. Of course the
widow was wondering. - What was more precious - the golden snake or the snake living
under the bushes? L i f e ! So you have to respect life!
Well, studying things, whether you want it or not, will change the values. What is the
great change, you will make in values? In the cause of time, by practicing what I call
"introspection" or looking within, studying what we call the worlds of existence of the
various dimensions, or the kingdom of the heavens, which are in our spirit-soul-ego-
being. Of course, realizing now, what are the kingdom of the heavens, what is the total
wisdom of Allaha, and what is you in it and in the one-ness. I'm afraid, we are in very
deep waters, must come to shallower waters. Because, to reach this knowledge, we have
to practice the introspection, looking within, trying to understand the real values in the
kingdom of the heavens. I get from the minds from most of you: "How?"
"How can we know the kingdom of the heavens?" But I made it very simple: One of the
heavens is the gross-material world - then studying the values of the gross-material
world! Another kingdom of the heavens you have to approach, which is w i t h i n u s ,
our desires, our emotions, our interest in life - it's the psychical world. It is the world of
our desires, our feelings, our emotions, our weaknesses. We have to work in it! So that
we shall find: who we are and what we are not. We are not our feelings, we are not our
desires, we are not our weaknesses.
Then we have to work in another heaven: the noetical world. To check our thoughts. Until
this present moment I enslaved the mind-vitality-super-substance in serving my
unbridled, petty, little desires and emotions. Now we have to study values of the
psychical plane. Because unless we do it, we cannot get free from our shell-hell, we are
now and we'll find ourselves, when we leave behind our material body. So we have to
pull down from this time, while living in the material world, the "walls of our hells".
And I said in a lesson, that nobody will find himself in any hell or in any paradise, after
leaving the material body, by - what you call - "death of the material body", where he is
not now! What are all those illusions giving us? Temptation! Did you ever think, what's
"temptation"? Is temptation a demon? No! It is a condition. And what HE says: "Lead us
not" - it is not what he said - "help us not to enter in temptation; and deliver us from
evil!"
We have to understand, what's "evil". What is "temptation"? We are under the burden of
our emotions, of our desires, of our weaknesses. And HE said: "Watch!" That means: by
observation. Examine and see. "Watch and pray! So that you'll not enter into temptation."
So, this is, what we'll do by introspection, looking within, exercising our divine nature of
observation, watching. Changing the sense of values. Because unless you do that, you'll
not have the desire of abandoning what we might call "evil", and cause the change that
you should do. Change to what? To your present-day-personality, to find what is within it,
your real-ego-self. Which is the last illusion.
Are you loosing anything? By finding yourself in the personality and cleaning your
personality from the illusions and the evils, the weaknesses - which studying you admit,
that they are weaknesses. Can we get rid of that? Of our weaknesses? Of what we admit,
that it is the evil? Many times I hear people say: "Yes, I am willing, but I don't have a
strong will of doing it." Nothing more stupid! This, because they don't want to make the
change! So, it is a matter of decision! And you're not loosing anything. You are gaining
everything. You reach, what I call "self-realization".
How long must I make the introspection, to reach to this point? It relies on your sincerity
to yourself. Shall we reach this change? Sooner or later - yes! Because we cannot be all
the time in the muddy places of the gross-material world. We must get to the light. The
muddy world is not our world as spirit-soul-being. Its for this purpose the God-man,
Joshua Emmanuel, "El Mashach" (?), the Lord, came to the world, to take us out of the
mud and wash us. With water? Well, Johanaan, the Baptist, was baptizing in the Jordan-
River. That was quite symbolic.
Were Joshua and his disciple-healers baptizing in water also? Yes, for the beginning: yes.
They have to clean the material body. But what his cousin, Johanaan, the Baptist, because
he was the first cousin of Joshua, said - what did he say? "I baptize you in water. But he,
who comes after me, will baptize you in fire and in spirit." Some of you, Catholics,
maybe Protestants or orthodox, have been baptized in water. That is not enough! Of
course a priest baptized you. Yes, I admit that the Holy Spirit "El Shekinah" was there
also. I admit that. But Joshua Emmanuel, the Christ, "El Mashach", will baptize us in fire
and in spirit.
Where is he? Where is he, to baptize us in fire and in spirit? Here! Everywhere you are.
He said: "Where there are two or three in my name, I am amongst them." It's a matter of
feeling him. How he will baptize us in fire and water (!?) /spirit/? What's "fire"? The
mind-vitality. And "spirit"? Just feeling that we are spirit-soul-ego-selves. That we are the
prodigal sons, who return back home: the prodigal sons, who are not satisfied in watching
the pigs there, the swine, and eating the food of the pigs, that means, the one, around him
with his elementals, the weaken elementals. But from the darkness you have to return
back to the light. Because we are the light.
I said: there are two ways. And everybody sooner or later has to return back home, to
give joy to the archangels, who are in heaven, our archangels. Which are these two ways?
The first: reason. The father is giving us the mind-vitality, to use it as thought, as
reasoning. This was to be the way of any seeker of the truth, man or woman. Which is the
other way? The whip of destiny. That's what the Hindus call "Karma". And what Joshua
Emmanuel, the Christ, said: "Whatever one sows, so he shall reap." How this whip of
karma is making us come to senses? Of course, by suffering we start thinking in a better
way, how to avoid suffering and how to enter in the divine peace. Where is the divine
peace? In our spirit-soul-ego. That means: reaching the self-realization.
So, God, the Father, in the same way, he is giving everything to feed ourselves, our body,
plentifully. He is giving us the air to breathe and the vitality in it. And all the mind, not
the material brain, to reason and think. Human beings are using their bodies, their hands,
their feet in many, many, many ways in getting certain abilities. They must start using
their mind as real thought, realizing. This is the duty of every seeker of the truth.
Now let's make an exercise:

Though you know very little about the material body of yours, you don't know, how it
works, you don't know the organs in it, yet it's yours. The holy archangels now are
working in your material bodies. And every hair in your bodies is numbered and is
growing, but you don't give any value to it. The holy archangels are giving vitality. You
are living in this material body by grace and not by right. By right is, when we just find
ourselves. Now, breathe deeply in this body. The holy archangels admit, that it is yours.
Forget your name. Forget that you're a man or a woman! You are a soul-ego-self. Put
this question to yourself: "Who am I? I am living. I am alive. Who am I?" I said and
repeat it: Forget your name! Forget your being a man or a woman! Because you are not
either of them. "Who am I? What am I?" Expect from your holy archangel, the guardian
archangel of yours, to answer these two questions. Because they are two distinct different
questions. "What am I?" "Who am I?" Because we said, that in the worlds of
manifestation, of existence, we are dual. Everything is dual. And ask your guardian
archangel and the Logos to guide you in the One-ness. .....................................
