Reading back my last post to myself, (see below), I realise how dense and impenetrable it is, so I thought I would try and write a layperson’s guide to the ‘hidden secret’ world of St Paul.
Paul’s teachings are an interesting mix of the mystical and literal, or Gnostic and Proto- Orthodox. We are dealing here with a story that flows between mystical events that took place before time began, and an historical re-enactment performed by Rabbi Yeshua that happened in space and time 2000 years ago.
What I am trying to introduce is a little known feature of the gospel story - the mystical and literal phenomena of the Archons or rulers. The off world/on world beings who kick started human civilisation. I know it’s starting to get weird but bear with me. Some of these Archons are wicked and some have a benevolent attitude towards humankind. Some of the wicked Archons are the ones currently orchestrating WW3 and are keeping us in slavery, again both literal and spiritually, through such techniques as usury, the ‘mortgage’ (death pledge), and the rollout of 5G microwave frequencies that all have a profound effect on the happiness and wellbeing of humankind, while mainly benefitting the psychopathic elite, those who carry out the wishes of the Archons. (Remember not all Archons, and therefore not all of the Elite, are wicked).
What the ‘old-time’ Gospel, (or good news) of Paul is about, is that because Christ died for us he paid the price of our ‘mortgage’ that we owe to the wicked Archons, so they can no longer keep us in slavery to their system and we can reclaim our inheritance as Children of the Most High. (The idea that we owe this debt to the Most High is another lie the Archons slip into the gospel to distort the true message). Paul believed that those who call upon the name of Yeshua are released from debt to the Archons. We become ‘Telestai’ those whose debt to the Archons has been paid in full by Christ.
What is there left for us Telestai to do now our debt has been paid? We are called to share this good news and love one another as Christ first loved us. By dying to our own egocentric, archontic nature, (the negative fear-based voices in our head that create negative emotions that in turn can cause physical illness) we begin to follow the ‘only way’, and nail ourselves along with Christ to the Stauros the stake and then rise again. In other-words we die to our egocentric self and rise as our higher self, or move from ‘Paranoia’ to ‘Metanoia’- fear to love. The real secret hidden message of Paul is this: That along with such actions as loving service to all sentient beings, prayer and meditation, we are free to escape our ‘prisoner status’ in order to become children of God - our true birth right and inheritance. The question is do we follow Jesus, and ‘repent’ (literally, to access your higher mind) or not? It’s up to you but here’s what Yeshua taught us - ‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened’. (Matt. 7:7-8).
One way that can really sets us on the path is the ‘Asking-Seeking-Knocking’, meditation (ASK). It is an ancient Christian meditation mantra that involves saying silently saying the 'Verbo Mirifico' – Yud/Hey/Shin/Vav/Hey.
Which is also known as the Pentagrammaton The 5 letter name of God discovered in the Renaissance era by Reuchlin, Pico dela Mirandola, and others. Who I suspect claimed it was the Hebrew name of Jesus, Yehoshua rather than Yeshua, to throw the Inquisition off the scent and make the practice of employing the miracle word more acceptable in the Christian world. Why else would Reuchlin, a respected scholar of Hebrew, make such a mistake?
And if you want to study the small print of all this you can find it in the post below, and also by researching for yourself in the authentic letters of the Apostle Paul. Blessings.

A Secret Hidden Reading of the Apostle Paul
Paul was revered both by Gnostic and Proto- Orthodox Christians in the early Church. I find the understanding presented here makes more sense to me than the usual Christian take on the New Testament Gospel and the teachings of the Apostle Paul.
1) Jesus didn’t die on a cross. The word used for ‘cross’ by Paul is ‘Stauros’ – meaning an upright stake. The term ‘Crucifixion’ has been falsely translated from the original Greek ‘Estaurosan’. The Cross has been used in pagan religions since the very earliest times. E.g. the Cross of Tammuz, (employed by the Roman Orthodox Church). And the Egyptian Ankh (later adapted by Coptic and Ethiopian Christians etc.) We can assume with some justification that the actual Cross, that was used by Rome from the 3rd century only, became so popular, like many other later Roman innovations, because of its association with pagan religion in order to attract more pagans to the Christian faith. As an Anglican with Christo-Pagan tendencies I don’t see this as a problem, I’m just pointing this out, so we don’t have to get bogged down in the literalist/mythicist dichotomy right at the start.
-The crucifixion, or rather the Estaurosan, describes a mythical event where the Lamb was slain from the founding of the world (Ἀρνίου ἐσφαγμένου ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου.), a sacrifice that defeated the Archons and the powers of darkness - aka. ‘The Watchers’ who appeared on our planet in ancient times. (1 Cor. 1:17-18, 2: 6-8). For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross-(Stauros - σταυρὸς) of Christ be emptied of its power- Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age (The Archonton - ἀρχόντων), who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had they would not have crucified (estaurōsan- ἐσταύρωσαν·) the Lord of glory.
2) Christ the Son of God became the sacrificial substitute that was re-enacted by the Prophet Yeshua during the Roman rule of Palestine around 37 BCE. Christ’s mystical death has set us free from the present evil aeon.
3) Yehshua’s (Jesus') unfairly instigated death, re-enacted Christ the Lamb of God’s mystical death as the substitute for the death of all who fall short of the glory God intends for Humankind, (which is pretty much all of us!), erasing the legal records that makes us into slaves to the powers of this Age. It was set aside, nailed to a stake. This spiritual action disarmed the Archons and authorities of darkness, taking away their power over humankind.
4) The Death of Christ was the price that was necessary to buy Humankind out of their slavery to the rules laid down by the elemental forces of darkness (Archons/Watchers), enabling the Father to adopt Humankind as His legal Children. It makes no sense to believe that the so called ‘Laws of God’ are what the Most High Loving God actually wishes us to be slaves to. Of course it’s hard to argue with the 10 commandments as delivered to Moses, but many of the myriad of other additional laws and prophecies found in the Old Testament are surely the work of man often inspired by the fake messages of the Archons, as well as often being redacted and mucked about with by various Priests, Prophets, Scribes and Pharisees. (Gal 4:1-7- 1 Cor. 6:20/7:23).’ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God/
You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men. You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
5) Therefore all of Humankind has been rescued from the powers of darkness (‘the Empire that never ended’ - Philip K. Dick). And we have now been transferred to the Domain of God’s beloved son.
6) Everything in Paul’s message boils down to the overthrow of the rule of the wicked powers and authorities that had enslaved humankind who became ignorant of the one true God.
7) Yeshua’s resurrection is the evidence of their ultimate defeat – this is the moment when Christ ascended above all the powers and authorities ruling the Earth and putting our enemies under his feet. Christ’s body, as God’s manifestation now fills everything with His love and God becomes ‘all in all’. (Eph. 1:20-23/ 1Cor.15:24-28). That he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him that God may be all in all.
8) In the light of Christ’s ultimate triumph, everyone who calls upon His name, (Yud –Hey – Shin – Vav – Hey – (The Hebrew letters that spell the name Yehoshua, the quintessential mantra of the Son Yeshua), is liberated and freed from servitude to the Archons. (Romans 10:13). For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
9) Re-enactments of Christ’s original ascent and resurrection have been practiced by Humankind since the very earliest times and the evidence for these rites and ceremonies can be found in the caves, pyramids, Dolmens, and other megalithic structures, and that can also be observed still taking place in Shamanic Sweat Lodges throughout the world to this day.
10) Christ, therefore brought about the end to the Jewish Tribal Law (1 Cor.10:23) and we now live under the law of Christ where all things are lawful, the natural Law of Agape, Unconditional Love and positive regard. (Rogers). As Paul states:- “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.
11) God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of His Son, so we are ‘no longer slaves’, but Children and heirs to God’s heavenly domain (In my Father’s house are many rooms – (monai), if it were not so I would have told you. (John 14:2).
We learn from Paul that Christians are also Gnostics, that all of us now possess knowledge (1 Cor.8:1-3). This Gnosis releases us from the Archons and their fake law so that ‘All things are Lawful – though not all things are helpful to the Spiritual Life. We know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.
Therefore, (for example), as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, (the anointed Yeshua) through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
However those in the know, should be careful not to cause those weak in the faith to stumble: ‘Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak’. (1Cor.8:9)
We’ll leave the last word to Paul:
12) ‘If I understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing (1Cor. 13:2).
