Esoteric Christianity 06: The Real Meaning of 'Being Born Again'

Explains the true meaning of "Being Born Again."

Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Truly [ἀμήν, amen, אמן], Truly [ἀμήν, amen, אמן], I say to you, We speak what We know and testify [martyria: testify, martyr, עד od] what We have seen, and you do not receive [lambano, קבל kabal] Our witness [martyria: testify, martyr, עד od]. If I have told you earthly [ἐπίγειος, epigeios, הארץ erets] things and you do not believe [pistis: powerful comprehension, based on experience or witnessing], how will you believe [pistis] if I tell you heavenly [ἐπουράνιος, epouranios, שמים shamayim] things? John 3:9-12

This lecture goes into detail regarding the real meaning of pisits, which is usually translated as 'belief' but is actually 'faith.' Faith is not 'religious belief', or the courage to have blind belief, but an activity of your heart and mind, based upon conscious efforts and experience.

The esoteric meaning of ἀμήν \ amen \ אמן is explained.

Also explains the real meaning of Moses and why Jesus connects being born again with the Serpent of Brass that heals the people of Israel.

τέλειος (teleios) is a Greek word for:
(1) that which is perfect;
(2) consummate human integrity and virtue;
(3) the realization of one’s ultimate purpose in life

We find τέλειος in the Bible, when St. Paul states, "We speak wisdom [σοφία, sophia] among them that are perfect [τελείοις, teleios]… We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery [μυστήριον, mustérion], even the hidden [ἀποκρύπτω, apokruptó] wisdom [σοφία, sophia], which God ordained before the world unto our glory… " – 1 Corinthians 2

We understand there is a hidden side of every religion which has been largely forgotten. This hidden wisdom can be called gnosis. We study gnosis as it is found in the great world traditions, especially the hidden or esoteric levels of instruction. For example:
✝ Christianity: Gnosticism, Alchemy
✡ Judaism: Kabbalah
☸ Buddhism: Vajrayana
🕉 Hinduism: Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
☪ Islam: Sufism
☀ Ancient: Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mayan, etc. mystery traditions

Absolutely beautiful. Best series I’ve ever seen on Christian esotericism .

[Azoth]

This lesson changed me. Thank you so much thank you

[adventurealchemy]

This is truly the most accurate explanation of what does it mean to find Christ within oneself and what does it mean to live spiritual life ...i believe that ascetics are way superior to "believers" and surely the only ones close to Christ or unite to be more precise ...my compliments brother 🙌🙌🙏🙏

[stevesacco]

I love these teachings what’s this man’s name

[RebelJones-wgvz]

Incredible knowledge ty for sharing this!

[Anders]

Great topic. I have been thinking that born again means something much more than just baptism for example. That it means transformation into a glorified body. The body of flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven, so when we remain in that state we haven't been born again yet.

[LibraryofSofiyah]

If you look further back at the ancient Hebrew letters, you'll really see something mind blowing about שמים ("sh'mayim").

[adventurealchemy]

Exactly brother ...faith has zero to do with religious beliefs ...🙏🙌

[AndersenTrades]

In case you haven’t received any credit for this channel: it’s absolutely beautiful! I can’t express how grateful I am for this knowledge you’re sharing, and your narration is on point. It’s absolutely captivating

When true gnostic say "i have faith", that mean i am with Christ

[gomezjkv]

What English translation do these scripture versus come from? They are rather distinct.

[adventurealchemy]

Jesus could told Nicodimus "you are not only half born"...after individuation and acceptance of Christ you will be born completely

[ShamanicSavant]

People need to learn what "esoteric" actually means. What it doesn't mean is yet another exoteric misinterpretation. This is just new age bible study for meandering minds. Esoteric means it comes from within you thru intuition, not from gnostic writings or any other external source. Gnosis is just an ancient Greek word for intuition. Intuition = to learn/be taught from within. Put the books away and look within you, that's where you'll find the meaning for everything in the bible. It's a bibliography, a collection of books about the same subject. The key to understanding what's written in those books is knowing the subject... YOU! Know thy Self :)

Spiritually speaking (gender aside), matriarchy can begin with an understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God).

Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle.

As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8).

Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process.

In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle.

Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12, verse 3)

To carry the Ankh (now the female symbol ♀️) was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle.

Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face.


"See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba

"My son, keep thy father's commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother" - Proverbs 6 : 20

30:20. I like how he skips over the do not marvel part. Lol.

If one is born right the first time, then why would they need to be born again? By born right, I mean born of water and the spirit. Who is not born of water and the spirit? A reptile? A bird? A….

[chihfjhocho]

Thank you so much. What should women do?

[Georgeos]

Ultimately allthe fires are one big and this is passion/desire, isnt it passion before anything, passion comes before will passion comes before creation before doing anything, there has to be some passion/desire as source of life even if its blind/not directed, so in spiritual areas both are seen as lower but its the essence for everything, even sexual drive lust is one step back passion/desire, so i think its not about sex force when jesus uses all these allegories, he says use the source, the passion instead of physically, use it in another way which isnt automatically some sort of kosher sex.

[kenzeetwo]

Read the gospel of John chapter 3. That will tell you what being born again.
