    The Most Dangerous of Deceptions

    (The Attempt to Destroy the Spirit of Truth Seeking)

    By Rev. Dr. Ray Pasold

    INTRODUCTION

    This is mainly about the deceptions of most Christian belief systems but can be applied toany religion such as Islam that deviates from the concept of attaining knowledge of God, themastery of the self, and the attainment of Spirit Consciousness. It is not meant to be a tool forany form of religious argumentation but to provide you with clarity of these deceptions. In other

    words, this is another tool to help you stay on the path of genuine Truth Seeking and save youfrom the most dangerous of deceptions.

    Be on guard against those who spread false teachings about Truth Seeking and Christ,Jesus! Some call themselves academicians, who demand you prove the Truth to them. Some callthemselves Muslim Imams, Fundamental and Orthodox Christians, and proclaim those namesproudly! All of these state that you must believe in a strict standard of doctrine that is objective,somewhere out there, where you can see it, read it, and swear to it! They will attempt to makeyou believe as they do, in their belief system, stealing your freedom to experience Truth andthereby stopping you from Truth Seeking. Please pay attention to what I have underlined below.

    Academician: Function: noun 1 a: a member of an academy for promoting science, art, or literature b: a follower ofan artistic or philosophical tradition or a promoter of its ideas 2. A scholar who is skilled in academic disputation

    If you read these definitions slowly and let them sink into your mind, only one conclusioncan be reached. These academicians and religious leaders base their teachings strictly on beliefs,and reject any personal experiences at variance with those beliefs. They do not realize they arepromoting the most dangerous of deceptions, the attempt to destroy the Spirit of Truth Seeking.(Genuine Truth Seeking is found within every religion but is not a religion or formalorganization. It consists of every Truth Seeker who has the burning, unquenchable desire to

    KNOW, and not just believe. They aspire to Master Self to become divine like, to be graced byGod with Gnosis (knowledge of spiritual truths) and divine perfection, as taught by Jesus theChrist and all genuine Truth Teachers.)

    The false academicians will try to convince you that Truth Seeking demands your abilityto prove your findings to them and not just yourself. If you cant prove it to them, you haventdiscovered the Truth, but only a delusion of your mind. They claim that those of higher academicstanding, who have proven academic credentials, can only do Truth Seeking through the study ofwritten works and reproducible results. Their idea of knowing is limited to science, theory, andphilosophy. They deny the value of personal experience, the existence of the Spirit Realm, andthe existence of a higher state of consciousness. They see no value in self-mastery, and will notdo the work of genuine Truth Seeking. They will seek to ensnare you in their definition of Truth

    Seeking, limited to the Mental and Physical Realms, denying the existence of the Spirit Realm,and therefore of Spirit Consciousness. Some profess belief in a god. However, they state this isonly belief and a matter of personal choice, which cannot be proven or known, and therefore, nota part, as they define it, of Truth Seeking!

    The fundamental and orthodox Christians and Muslims will seek to ensnare you into theirbelief system and make you like them, a child of ignorance and spiritual sleep. They believe theirbelief system is the absolute truth. They will try to do this with FEAR. Believe as they do, ortheir god will punish you forever! However, in the book they (Christians and Muslims) claim tobelieve in, the Bible, we find a warning against such deception.

    Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying, I

    am the Christ, and will deceive many. (Matthew 24:4) (See Aquarian Gospel 157:31-34)

    They interpret their belief system to have the power to save you from the destruction ofyour Soul in a hell. What Jesus warned against in Matthew 24:4 is the deceiver, the lie, the Spiritof falsehood that will stop you from seeking Truth. This will lead to your deception, ensnaringyou in their erroneous belief system and what Jesus, again in the Bible, called the dead.

    But Jesus told him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead. (Matt 8:22)

    He said to another man, Follow me. But the man replied, Lord, first let me goand bury my father. Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go

    and proclaim the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:59-60) (See Aquarian Gospel 117:27.)

    In their own Bible are numerous passages that teach the Kingdom of God is here now, and tobe found within the self. Is this just a matter of interpretation? No. The words are clear anddistinct.

    Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of Godis within you. (Luke 17:21) (See Aquarian Gospel 71:4)

    Now lets point out the main problem. I call it, Book Bellowing. It means they worshipa book, not God. Such writings are meant to inspire the seeker to find the Truth, not to worshipthese printed words as God. The Word of God is not a book or written words. The Word of Godis alive, the Truth, and as described in the book they worship, is the Christ. Therefore, the Truthis alive, it walks, it talks, and it is the vibrating power of the Universe. Christ Jesus proved this.

    BASIC CHRISTIANITY

    1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (Orthodox Christian Commentary)

    Paul stresses the basics every Orthodox Christian must believe: that Christ died for our sins, that he wasburied (really dead), and that he rose again. Listing some of the many people who saw Jesus after hisresurrection, Paul includes himself, last of all. He is referring to his encounter with Christ on the road toDamascus (see Acts 9).

    This is the main Orthodox Christian Bible belief, which does not come from the Christ,but is attributed to Paul! Notice the use of the word must believe instead of must know. Orthodoxreligious leaders stress the belief that you can never know, but instead, can only believe as they

    do. If you dont understand something in their version of the Bible (and there are many differenttranslations), simply ask and they will tell you what they believe it means.

    In the above Bible verses, Paul states, according to the scriptures two times and weask, what scriptures? Was it the Old Testament? There were no formalized New or Old

    Testament writings accepted at that time as the Scriptures, which states you must believe Jesusdied to save human kind from the wrath of an angry god. The Four Gospels of the NewTestament that are interpreted to state that belief were either not yet written or not available toPaul! (Matthew 80 C.E., Mark 65 C.E., Luke 62 C.E., and John 70 C.E. Paul left earth life in 68

    C.E.) That, of course, makes this entry into the accepted New Testament highly suspect as aforgery! The words and teachings of Jesus before his physical death are only quoted two timesby Paul from Romans through Revelations! Get a red letter edition and check it for yourself.

    How could Christ die for our sins, when CHRIST is the Love of God made manifest andcan never die? Yes, they are confusing the man Jesus with His title, Christ, and this is the reasonthey think Christ is Jesus last name! Having belief in Jesus means to follow His teachings andbe born again of the Spirit. It does not mean that if you believe he existed, that he had the nameJesus, was the only Son of God, died for your sins and arose from the grave, you are instantlyborn again. Where it so, no one could have been forgiven sin, error, or healed, or be born again,until after Jesus was crucified. Therefore, believing in what Jesus said and did is only thebeginning of rebirth and the journey from belief into knowing, from intellectual consciousness ofthinking into Spirit Consciousness of the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth, and Christ within you.Jesus Himself put it this way in the Bible:

    Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water andof the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

    That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit isspirit. (John 3:5-6) (See Aquarian Gospel 75:10-13)

    Jesus neversaid you have to wait until Im crucified to be born of the Spirit and forgiven.Such false beliefs defile the great accomplishments and wondrous achievements of Jesus.However, since the Christ is within your being, you can contact the Spirit of Truth and have theChrist teach you directly. Beware! These Orthodox Christian leaders will tell you that such

    knowledge is subjective and not reliable. According to them, you must depend upon an objectivestrict standard of doctrine to believe in based upon writings in a book. Never will they mentionthat such doctrine is the subjective opinion of the majority vote of the so-called ChurchFathers, conducted centuries after Jesus walked the earth! This is not inline with the teachingsof the Christ nor with the works performed by Jesus and therefore, FALSE.

    The idea that the wrath of an angry god must be subdued by the death of his one and only

    son is disgusting. Jesus was killed because of error (sin), ignorance, intolerance, and plainstupidity. However, He allowed it, to save us from Spiritual ignorance and show the possibilitiesof humankind. He taught that conquering death is not only the survival of the personality, theconsciousness of the individual, but the conscious awareness of Spirit Life, Spirit Consciousness.He arose from physical death for our benefit, in a manifested physical body, to prove for all thatthere is NO DEATH, except that of the Spirit; the walking dead, content with their beliefs ofSpirit life, stopping Truth Seeking, and staying in a state of Spiritual ignorance.

    These Spiritually dead people say, Just believe the basics, and youll be saved. Savedfrom what, the wrath of an angry god? This god does not exist! God is so awesome that you havealready been forgiven any errors you have committed as soon as you recognize the error and justask. Thats called unconditional Divine love. Born again because you believe someone existed

    who was named Jesus is only an intellectual rebirth, a decision to follow His teachings. Now youmust continue the process of your rebirth into Spirit Consciousness to be saved from theignorance of Spirit life. This starts with the belief that the Truth can be known, and ends inknowing it. Genuine Truth Seeking puts you on the path of spiritual experience, as taught byChrist, turning your beliefs into knowing. Jesus turned His Apostles beliefs into knowing whenhe performed miracles before them and appeared to them after his physical death. When thatmiraculous illumination leads you to direct contact with the Christ, you are born again into SpiritConsciousness. All of this is just the beginning of your journey into Light, Love, and Freedom!

    JESUS IS GOD

    The worst of all, they declare that Jesus did not come in the flesh, was not a human whoovercame trials multiform and did not attain the Christ. They say he was born God and Christ.How easy for a God who knows he cant die to allow his death in the surety he will raise fromthe dead. This false belief is also exposed in the book they claim to follow!

    For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christas coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do

    not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoevertransgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He whoabides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to youand does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for hewho greets him shares in his evil deeds. (2 John 7-11)

    This is a strong warning against the teachings of Orthodox Christians who say that Jesuswas born God and therefore, did not come in the flesh as a human. Any achievements he made toshow us the way to self-mastery and the achievement of Spirit Consciousness are totally negatedby such a lie. These people hate experience and the knowledge it brings. Knowledge takes awaytheir power to lord over you their superiority and the ability to trap you in their belief system.

    The only attribute that saves you from such false beliefs is the burning, unquenchable desire toKNOW and not just believe.

    This false belief, that Jesus was born God and did not come as an ordinary human, wasfought against in those early times by genuine Truth Seekers who had attained re-birth, SpiritConsciousness, and knew the Truth of the achievements of Jesus. The enemies of the True Christascribed the name heretic to these Truth Seekers, just as they do today to anyone who does notbelieve in Jesus as they do. To explain their own error, the Orthodox Christians decided, bymajority vote (!), that Jesus came as both God and ordinary man! Today these enemies of the

    True Christ are called erroneously, the Church Fathers. Their answer to anyone who disagreedwith them, especially other Christians, was simple and proves their error. Kill them all theydecided! They actually tried to do this and with their influence over the governments at that time,slaughtered millions of people, far more than the First Century Romans did! This is simplehistory, available in your local library. (See footnote 1)

    They harp on about the way to salvation, using the belief that God is angry and will burnyou in eternal Hell fire, if you dont believe as they do. They preach, Believe as we do and besaved! This salvation, from an angry god that does not exist, is false. They claim to have asecret knowledge that you can have too, if you only believe as they do, and become their versionof born again. Simply believe that Jesus did exist as the messiah, that Jesus really was his name,and that he died for your sins, was buried, and rose again. Presto! Youre born again! Now that

    you believe as they do, send in your money! They do not realize that intellectual rebirth is a starton the path, not the end of it.

    GOD FORGIVES THE ERROR OF THESE PEOPLE!

    Who in their right mind would limit the limitless to a book of about three-hundred pages?The deceived, the lazy, and the greedy religious leaders do just that. They will not accept anySpiritual truths outside of their book (the Bible, Koran, etc.); unless they wrote it or it followstheir belief system. They will not do the work of self-mastery and will not follow the trueteachings of Christ Jesus, who instructs us to become perfected in the Bible they teach from!

    Be ye thereforeperfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew5:48) (See Aquarian Gospel 97:32)

    I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that theworld may know that thou has sent me, and has loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John17:23)

    Instead, they bellow forth Bible passages proclaiming that their belief system is the onlytrue one, and all those who decline that belief, oh well, to HELL WITH YOU! That kind ofthinking is sick and disgusting. This is exactly the kind of thinking Jesus fought against in histime here on earth, and now fights against from the Spirit Realm. Jesus saves genuine TruthSeekers from the snares of those who attempt to destroy the Spirit of Truth Seeking. Christteaches us how to do the same. Nothing you do is more Christ-like than to save genuine TruthSeekers from this most dangerous deception.

    Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. (Luke23:34) (See Aquarian Gospel 170:15)

    The Ten Commands

    Another dangerous doctrine these Orthodox Christians leaders teach is the belief that theTen Commandments of the Bible are not recognized by Truth Seekers, whom they call heretics,even ignored. Jesus was asked about this in the Aquarian Gospel and answered this way:

    One morning after service in the synagogue the rabbi said to Jesus as he sat insilent thought, Which is the greatest of the Ten Commands?

    And Jesus said, I do not see a greatest of the Ten Commands. I see a golden cordthat runs through all the Ten Commands that binds them fast and makes them one. Thiscord is love, and it belongs to every word of all the Ten Commands. If one is full of love,he can do nothing else than worship God; for God is love. If one is full of love, he cannotkill; he cannot falsely testify; he cannot covet; can do naught but honor God and man. Ifone is full of love he does not need commands of any kind. (Aquarian Gospel 17:2-7)

    Curious, the Rabbi then asked who the teacher was that taught him this truth.

    And Jesus said, I do not know that any teacher opened up this truth for me. It seemsto me that truth was never shut; that it was always opened up, for truth is one and it iseverywhere. And if we open up the windows of our minds the truth will enter in and makeherself at home; for truth can find her way through any crevice, any window, any opendoor. (Aquarian Gospel 17:9-10)

    Orthodox religious leaders hate the Aquarian Gospel because it reveals their willingnessto worship a book, not God, to feel saved, and to ignore the Truth. Most importantly, it removestheir ability to manipulate you with their false beliefs about Jesus the Christ. These beliefs arenot in line with the teachings of the Christ, are not knowledge, and therefore, not the Truth.

    To those Christian leaders (not the deceived followers) who claim to be completelyBorn Again and represent the Christ, but follow Orthodox Christian Bible beliefs, if you haveTruth, teach it. Why cloak your words in Bible passages and then snicker about it because youthink you are so illumined? If you truly were, you would show your love and mercy and tell us ofthe wonders of the Spirit Realm you have experienced. You would show us how to experiencethe Truth you have discovered. You would provide us with the tools to achieve Spirit

    Consciousness and have direct contact with the Christ for ourselves. Yet all you do is bellowforth the Bible passages you prefer, from whatever Bible version you have deemed accurate, andthen demand that we believe you without question and worship the god of this book as youdefine god, or suffer eternal damnation!

    That is dishonest, outrageous, evil, and the most dangerous of deceptions, the attempt to

    destroy the Spirit of Truth Seeking, the burning, unquenchable desire to KNOW and not justBELIEVE.There are those who kill, maim, and butcher the bodies of people, and this is evil.

    However, those that kill the Spirit, the Spirit of Truth Seeking, are the true enemies of Godschildren, and there is not a greater evil in the Universe.
