Volume 7 December 2005                Rev. Dr. R. La Pierre             Seattle, WA & #6, Maine

I therefore, not as a teacher, but as one of you, will endeavor to lay before you a few things by which you may, on many accounts, become the more joyful. Barnabas 1:10

Blessed is the Child of Light who is wise in mind, for he shall create heaven. The mind of the wise is a well-ploughed field, which giveth forth abundance and plenty. For if thou showest a handful of seed to a wise man, he will see in his mind’s eye a field of golden wheat. And if thou showest a handful of seed to a fool, he will see only that which is before him, and call them worthless pebbles. And as the field of the wise man giveth forth grain in abundance, and the field of the fool is a harvest only of stones, so it is with our thoughts. As the sheaf of golden wheat lieth hidden within the tiny kernel, so is the kingdom of heaven hidden within our thoughts. If they be filled with the Power, Love and Wisdom of the Angels of the Heavenly Father, so they shall carry us to the Heavenly Sea. But if they be stained with corruption, hatred and ignorance, they shall chain our feet to pillars of pain and suffering. No man can serve two masters; neither can evil thoughts abide in a mind filled with the Light of the Law. He who hath found peace hath learned to soar beyond the Realm of Angels.

Know this peace with thy Mind,
Desire this peace with thy Heart,
Fulfill this peace with thy Body.
(Gospel of the Essense)

These very familiar words have been used for over a millennium.

In the writings we are accustom to giving “images” to these three words; they are “the Angel of Air, the Angel of Water and the Angel of Fire. And to this day Angels are what we “see” them as, flying creatures that have power to weld the element as it sees fit.

When we think of Air, we imagine something we breathe, water as something we drink or bathe in and fire keeps us warm and used to cook our food.

In the world of Science Air had been considered Oxygen, Water was H2O and Fire burns. Later the Science community learned two out of the three were not so. Air is only 21% oxygen though it is the element most required by us humans, while nitrogen is 78%. Water is more oxygen than hydrogen for one oxygen atom is bigger than 2 hydrogen. Fire is 71% hydrogen.

Behind the veil of language we find that the Ancients of civilization knew more than what we give them credit for. Hidden within the verbiage of their time we find: Air, Water, Fire = Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen = The building blocks of creation.
Rev LaPierre

Water of Life. From the heavenly sea the waters run and flow forward from the never-failing springs. In my blood flow a thousand pure springs, and vapors and clouds and all the waters that spread over all the Seven Kingdoms. All the waters the Creator hath made are Holy. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of Glory thundereth; the Lord is upon many waters.

Angel of Water, Holy messenger of the Earthly Mother, enter the blood that flows through me, wash my body in the rain that falls from heaven and give me the Water of Life!
(Gospel of the Essense)

This morning when I wakened, And saw the sun above, I softly said, "Good morning, Lord, Bless everyone I love." And, right away I thought of you, and said a loving prayer, that He would bless you specially, and keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness a day could hold in store. I wished it all for you because no one deserves it more.

In numerology we give corresponding numbers to the English alphabet, 1-9, "A" being number "1". Once hitting "9" we start back at "1" again, ending with "Z" as number "8". To these we give very general meanings.

The 22 letters of the original Hebrew alphabet are also given numbers yet after get to number 9 they continue with 10 and go in multiples of 10 until hitting 100 which in turn continues in multiples of 100 reaching 400. To these numbers meanings are also given, which aren't so general.

Gematria is the Science (study) of the one to one correspondence between the numbers and the alphabet revealing the hidden relationship and deeper meaning that gets over looked by reading the words by themselves.

The best way found to reveal hidden meanings in words, is to use the Hebrew words as they were written in ancient times. If we take the word "soul", "NeShaMaH" in Hebrew, and take out the vowels as it is traditionally written, we have NShMH. Assigning them their corresponding numbers, N=50, Sh=300, M=40, H=5, they add up to 395.

Interesting enough if we take the word "heaven", Ha-ShaMaYiM, and take out it's vowels we have HShMYM. Give it it's corresponding numbers, H=5, Sh=300, M=40, Y=10, M=40, they also add up to 395.

One rule in Gematria is that two words equaling to the same number are also related in nature. It doesn't matter the meaning given to the number by culture or society, numbers speak directly to the real meaning of the words. Therefore in Gematria, Heaven and Soul are one. "God created Heaven (Soul) and Earth" as two different yet related dimensions of experience, one invisible, one visible.

Rev. LaPierre

"He (humankind) unites both heavenly and earthly qualities within himself . . . I (God) will create man to be the union of the two . . . " The Haggadah Tablets

Last year at this time Rev. Dianna did article on the birth of Jesus. And I did one on the “Search for Christmas” ending the aritcle with the “Natalis Solis Invicti, Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun”.

Out of all the books in my library dealing with religion and spirituality, many have their version of the "nativity" and “birth of creation”. Only one I have found so far speaks of the “Birth of the Son”. This being in the “Secret Book of John” which is part of what is now called the “Nag Hammadi Library”.

Chapter 4:1 "The Father entered Barbelo with a gaze, with the pure, shining Light surrounding the invisible Spirit. Barbelo conceived and the Father produced a ray of light that was similar to the blessed light but not as bright. This ray of light was the only Child of the common Parent that had come forth, and the only offspring and the only Child of the Father, the pure light. The invisible virgin Spirit rejoiced over the light that was produced, that came forth first from the first power, Forethought, (Barbelo). The Father anointed it with goodness until it was perfectly and completely good, for the Father anointed it with the goodness of the invisible Spirit. The Child stood in the presence of the Father during the anointing. When the Child received this from the spirit, at once it glorified the holy Spirit and the perfect Forethought for it had come through her. The holy Spirit brought the self-produced divine Child of Spirit and Barbelo to perfection. The Child could stand before the powerful and invisible virgin Spirit as the self-produced God, Christ, whom the Spirit had honored with loud acclaim." Secret Book of John

Though it's been translated into English, it is no easier to understand than the original Aramaic. To paraphrase the best I can we all know, or believe in the One Pure Source we call the Father, all energies and entities are all here as "One". Barbelo, (Forethought), was the name given to the first energy, element, created that was given separation, a vibration of it's own, the Feminine.

Unlike "returning to the Father" as we say happens at the death of our bodies. Or like the other energies that were created "through" Forethought (Barelo), the First Child, the Light, came into being because, "The Father entered Barbelo with a gaze. . . . " This was a total different combining of elements and energies.

The birth of the Child, the blessed Light, in the "Secret Book of John" may be the first recorded combining of the Male and Female aspects, and the first Immaculate Conception. Rev. LaPierre

Chapter 1, verse 26 of Genesis of the King James Bible says "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness……" (27) So God created man in his own image in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (28) And God blessed them . . . (31) And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." (were - past tense, end of day.)

Genesis Chapter 2 verse 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. (3) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

From reading this it sounds like we ended the Sixth day and the Seventh day. No other chapter or verse describing “the Beginning” went back and rehashed what was created the day before. We must be going on to a different day.
Read on . . .

Genesis Chapter 2 verse 4; "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, (5) And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground." (6) But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. (7) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (8) And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

So what was created first? The Soul, the Body or the elements that make up the Body and Soul? And which came first of these, the elements of the Soul or the Body?

Here in the Seattle, WA area when winter comes so do the rains, and the three layer thick cloud cover brings light very late in the day and takes it away before the evening meal has been set on the table, if it comes out at all.

The Vitamins that are normally absorbed from the Sun are not available in abundance as they are in the summer time. Bodies, Minds and even Souls get sluggish without the influx of energies from the elements no longer being metabolized.

I have found myself falling asleep too easily in the stuffiness of a closed up house. While the earth prepares for a season in slumber, I personally become irritated, frustrated and fall into depression from the darkness.

Than one Saturday, I could no longer be confined inside the four walls watching the heavy rain pelt down on the water soaked earth and retain my sanity. I went outside and dragged the little barbecue up under the canopy and lit a fire. Within moments I had forgotten the drab gloomy grayness of my surroundings, the darkening skies, and wetness of the never ending rain drops.

For the first time in weeks I sat and read for hours without falling asleep, I could focus and concentrate. The energy coming from the open flames was exactly what I needed to replace what I wasn’t getting due to the absence of the sun.
Rev. LaPierre

The cool damp fall air, earthly delights of leaves, and scents of remaining harvest, fireplace smoke clings to the humid air, reminding us of summer camping trips-not so long ago. Wondering, could we sleep in those hot dog days? Where did they go?

Well the seasons change, as life does sometimes, it creeps upon us, and sometimes it gives us no warning.

Change is something we can all depend on, just like the seasons…and the cold damp fall air. The reaping in the fall harvest, Thankful for all the gifts bestowed from spring and summer crops.

We must reap what we shall sow. The seeds we have sown, can we replant and rejuvenate for the land has been raped. Goddess God we love thee, please know that the shortcomings of our mortal ways meant no harm to Mother Earth. Please forgive thee.

Please remind us she is our gift from you, and to help rejuvenate her with love and healing prayers. As we pray to heal our Mother Earth, we too shall heal with the protection of Love and Light of the Holy Spirit. Blessed be, Corrina
