In the eternal design of the Holy Ones a way
has been prepared for the progeny of the Living Ones to remember their
origins and begin the long journey homeward. The first phase of this returning
is the issuance of the Call of Life;
“An Uthra calls from without and instructs
Adam, the man.” (Ginza) “At the portal of the worlds stands Truth
and speaks a question into the world.” (Book of John the Baptist)
“It is the Call of the Gnosis of life . . . He stands at the outer rim
of the worlds and calls his elect.” (Ginza)
The Transcendent Alien Life, wholly foreign to
this universe, nevertheless causes Their Living Call to be heard herein:
“One Call comes and instructs about
all calls!” (Ginza)
“They, the Uthras, shall make heard the Call
of Life and illuminate the mortal house.” (Ginza) It is directed
from the rim of the world into its interior enclosure: “ I sent a Call
out into the world.” (Ginza)
“He called a heavenly voice into the turmoil
of the worlds.” (Book of John the Baptist)
The Order of Nazorean Essenes is a religion of
“The Call”. Upon this critical fact the whole system of Nazirutha enlightenment
is erected. Without hearing the Call, one is in no position to benefit
from these teachings of Enlightenment. They are designed specifically for
those who are strangers here in this universe and who are willing to trust
in Miryai And Yeshua, the Gnosis of Life, to liberate them from it. To
“be called” to be a Nazorean Essene is to yield to the supermundane whispers
of the Gnosis of Life experienced on a level deeper than normal waking
consciousness. It is to hear The Call in the very silent fabric of one’s
soul far removed from the stress and struggle of the noise of the world
and the flightiness of the mind that listens to it. This letter, call,
revelation, or remembering comes to those who quiet themselves sufficiently
to hear it:
“ Like a messenger was the letter
which the King had sealed with his right hand. . . He flew like an
eagle and alighted beside me and became wholly speech. At the sound of
his voice I awoke and arose from my slumber . . . and directed my steps
that I might come to the Light of our home. The letter who had awakened
me I found before me on The Way, the Letter who with his voice had awakened
me from sleep . . . “(Hymn of the Pearl)
In another one of our ancient scrolls it speaks
of the call composing our hidden spiritual name. This is a mystical way
of saying that it is addressed to us personally, and that we respond to
it because we recognize this fact:
“Those whose names He knew in advance,
were Called at the end, so that he who knows, is he whose name has been
spoken by the Father. For he whose name has not been pronounced, is ignorant.
Truly, how should a person be able to hear, if his name ahs not been Called?
For he who remains ignorant until the end, is a creature of the “Oblivion”
and will be destroyed with it. If this is not the case, why have these
miserable ones received no name, why do they not hear The Call?” (Gospel
of Truth)
“A Call rang out over the whole world, the
splendor departed from every city. The Gnosis of Life revealed Themselves
to all the children of men and redeemed them from the darkness into the
light.” (Ginza)
“One Call comes and instructs
about all calls. One speech comes and instructs about all speech. One beloved
Son comes, who
was formed from the
worlds of splendor . . . His image is kept safe in its place. He comes
with the illumination of life, with
the command which
his father imparts. He comes in the garment of living fire and betakes
himself into thy world.” (Ginza)
Yokabar-Kushta is one of the titles of Yeshua
and Miryai, the Gnosis of Life. They together bring the Nazirutha Light
to enlighten
believing humankind. Yeshua brings the Ziwa-Splendor
(a masculine form of light) and Miryai brings the N’hurah-Luminosity (
the
female form of light), and through these two
types of light the “new man” or “new woman” is created:
“We are Yokabar-Kushta, who has gone forth from our Parent’s House and
come hither. We have come hither with hidden
Ziwa-Splendor and
with N’hurah-Luminosity without end. (Ginza)
Connected with “The Call” is the promise of
rebirth through the Ziwa-N‘hurah light of Yeshua-Miryai. It is They who
come with the
Seals that unlock the imprisoned sparks of
light and seal them up unto Eternal Life:
“For his sake send
me, Father! Holding the Seals will I descend, Through all the worlds will
I take my way, All the mysteries
will I unlock, The
forms of the gods will I make manifest, The secrets of the Sacred Way,
Known as Nazirutha, I will
transmit.” (Naassene
Psalm of the Soul)
Thus the Gnosis of Life, the First Man-Woman,
forces a passage way through the labyrinth of worlds and opens up a conduit
of escape:
“In the Name of Them who came, in the Name of Them who come, and in the
Name of Them who is to be brought forth. In
the Name of the Strange
Man who forced Their way through the worlds, split the firmament and revealed
Themselves.”
(Ginza)
And it is not only once that Yeshua and Miryai
appear on the earth to show us the way homeward, but many times have They
incarnated on earth to illuminate the Way and prepare a people to become
free. Yeshua speaks of this when he says:
“I wandered through
worlds and generations until I came to the Gate of Jerusalem.” (Book of
John the Baptist)
The Call comes to awaken us:
“I am the Call of
Awakening from sleep in the world of the night.” (Peratae in Hippolytus)
The purpose of the Call is to awaken those
who wish to be awakened. The Call ultimately comes from the Great Life
through the First
Life, which is Yeshua and Miryai. Yet other
Uthras also utter the Call in Their Name, and incarnate on earth to Call
men and woman
face to face.
“They bestowed upon the guardians a sublime Call, to shake up and make
to rise those that slumber. They were to awaken
the souls that had
stumbled away from the place of Light. They were to awaken them and shake
them up, that they might lift
their faces to the
places of light.” (Ginza)
The Call has three main components: A Remembrance
of heavenly origins, the promise of redemption from the world, and ethical
instructions to be observed while preparing
to return homeward. Oft included in the full message of the Call to Return
is an abbreviated
history of the fall of souls into the material
worlds. This is represented by the descent, sleep, awakening and ascension
of the Redeemer
with whom the called identify. With this message
is also instruction on how not to fall asleep once again, and how to conduct
ones life as
one prepares for re—ascent upward. Thus the
Call is not so much the implanting of a spiritual seed, but rather, the
re-awakening of the
long dormant seed of the soul which is caused
to sprout forth through the waterings of Baptism.
The Call is not received audibly, nor necessarily
with any dramatic spiritual experience, but comes in its most perfect form
as a silent
impression made upon the heart and mind that
leaves the Called with a sense of serenity and deep but simplistic knowing
about their
origins and purpose. It is an partial awareness
of the Living Ones above and of Their reciprocal awareness of us here below.
It is a simple and non-verbal understanding of the heart that gives one
a sense of belonging and having been found.
Above all, the correct response to the Call
is overflowing gratitude, acceptance, and a commitment to convert and renew
ones life so as to be worthy of it and worthy of eventual ascent out of
the dominion of the Seven and twelve:
“ From the day when we beheld thee,
from the day when we heard thy word, our hearts were filled with peace.
We believed in thee, Good One, we beheld thy light and shall not forget
thee. All our days we shall not forget thee, not one hour let thee from
our hearts. For our hearts shall not grow blind, these souls shall not
be held back.” (Ginza)
We are to renounce the world and all its affairs
and begin to walk the ten leveled Way of Nazirutha. We are to surrender
to the Light of
Lights by submitting to the Holy Ordinance
of Baptism that we might put on the Living Ones.
"Be calm, be loving unto others, be
gentle, be peaceful, be merciful, give tithes, help the poor and sick and
distressed, be devoted to Deity, be righteous, be good that ye may receive
the Mysteries of the Light and go on high into the Light Land." -
(Yeshua (Jesus) Pistis Sophia 102)
"Search ever and cease not until ye find the
Mysteries of the Light which will lead you into the Light-Land. Beware
of the doctrines of error. For many will come in my name, and say: It is
I. And it is not I, and they will lead many astray." - (Yeshua (Jesus)
Pistis Sophia 111)
