John the Baptist

taken from an “I DO” Booklet and “TRUTH” News Letters.

“Reincarnation Presents the Christ Again”
Page 20:
Because the truth of New Age revelations has its foundation in facts
concerning reincarnation it is unfortunate that there is so much
rejection from creeds who have failed to note the few hints given in the
Bible concerning this secret which the world was not ready for when the
Bible was recorded. In one record we find the Disciples asking Jesus if
JOHN
could be Elijah back. The answer he gave was affirmative and the Bible
note under the account states (and the Disciples understood that He
spake of John).

Through the many interpretations of the original Bible, mistakes were
made which now bring contention among students who “get lost in the
letter,” and fail to allow for human mistakes of mortals who might have
made them. It is interesting to see that some accounts claim the
Disciples asked Jesus if
JOHN could be Elias. Original accounts showed
they asked about Elijah. Some accounts say John was asked if he was
Elijah and denied it. Again others claim he denied being Elias. The
Truth seems to be that
JOHN was Elijah, and Jesus admitted this
to the Disciples, but interpreters, or perhaps typesetters wrote it as
Elias. Had John been asked if he was Elijah he would have had to crawl
around it to keep “unspotted.” Elias was the son of Elijah so it was in
keeping to deny it, as also it was right for Jesus to have implied that
John was Elijah.
It can easily be seen that Christ and His Disciples accepted
reincarnation when the Disciples were asking if John could be Elijah.
Jesus did not tell them they were wrong, or “ye do err” as at other
times when they were mistaken, but answered, “Elijah is already come,
and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.”
and the next verse states, “Then the Disciples understood that He spake
unto them of John the Baptist.” What could be plainer? While memory is
not usually given to anyone unless he has some specific work to do which
requires his having this information, it is possible that at times great
souls are not allowed to remember before time for their part of the
work. This has been noticed by many who knew very little about facts
until it was necessary for them to be awakened to accomplish that which
they reincarnated to do.

Question:
Why did
John the Baptist baptize Jesus? Should not Jesus have
baptized John since Jesus was the Son of God?
Answer:
Surely you must be an ordinary Christian to
wonder about that. Even then few ordinary Christians ever thought to
question it. Perhaps that is why the Christian religion doesn’t
incorporate the answer which is deeply esoteric. John wasn’t called
“The Baptist” for nothing. The answer lies in soul
stations earned by lives of service to God. Buddhists of the Lord Buddha
religion in their higher ranks have secrets which Christians would do
well to know about. In third degree esoteric classes we give the answer.
Because of dangers from misunderstandings most esoteric people reserve
such answers for souls developed enough to qualify. Yours might be ready
for the answer since you asked the question, but others who may read our
publications could do great damage to God’s Great Plan for this Age if
that information reached the profane. Suffice it to say his soul was
known as “The One Initiator.”

Question:
In view of what
“I DO” Research might have discovered on
incarnations, please tell us what the two feathers used to symbolize the
soul known as Amon-Ra means. Who was He, soul-wise?
Answer: It is hard to ask us to answer an esoteric
question when we know many of our readers won’t understand what you have
asked or what we answer. But here goes: Amon-Ra was an incarnation of
the soul known on higher planes as Gabriel, who many times personified
what was known to Ancients as “The Hidden Deity,” or what Christians
might call “The Father.” Jesus called Michael and Gabriel “The Fathers”
and surely understood His relationship as one with them. Where He said
“I and my Father are one,” He was speaking of the Deity personified as
“hidden within.” Gabriel came many times to earth in a physical form
containing “The Hidden One.”
JOHN THE BAPTIST
served as the physical counterpart of “The
Hidden One” until he left this plane and “The Hidden One” became one
with Jesus. Likewise when Jesus was gone Virgin Mary embodied “The
Hidden One” until she left this plane. Upon Paul’s conversion
HE began to serve in that capacity. It is a
very long, deeply esoteric story which would take many books to explain
fully. The “two feathers” of Amon-Ra symbolized that
HE served in that capacity. Hermanubis was
known to have been the compound of the God Horus (King of Kings soul)
and Anubis (soul of Virgin Mary). Egyptian Wise Men knew this to be true
of King Tut, and those with “eyes to see” can recognize it in the
symbolism shown on the King Tut mummy, which in several ways proves the
“two in one” soul identity.

Elijah knew his soul had
attained to “eternal life” and that he would “make his ascension” to
higher planes without having to pass through the experience of mortal
death. The soul of Elijah was the first who ever attained to the
“eternal life” status and returned to help others many times. His was
“The King of Kings” soul, recognized by esoteric students of the Occult
world as “The One Initiator,” they know as Kuthumi. He would usually
plan an incarnation before the soul destined to be initiated into
Sonship for whatever Age. This was to help announce the coming Son of
God as in the case of JOHN THE BAPTIST who remained on this plane
until he baptized (initiated) The Son of God. He was one of the souls
Jesus called “The Fathers.”
