East

All pyramids were built in alignment with the elements: one side points up, one down, one to the east, and one to the west.

In Asia and the East, it is often the dragon.

The schools in the West were a little different from those in the East, but they were very connected.

This school was known in very ancient days by that name, especially in the East.

According to Dowling, Jesus spent a lot of time in the mystical East where he learned esoteric methods from the masters, while rebelling against the caste system.

These are Elohim, creative spirits of the universe.20. And these are they who said, Let us make man; and in their image man was made.21. In early ages of the world the dwellers in the farther East said, Tao is the name of Universal Breath; and in the ancient books we read,22. No manifesting form has Tao Great, and yet he made and keeps the heavens and earth.23. No passion has our Tao Great, and yet he causes sun and moon and all the stars to rise and set.24. No name has Tao Great, and yet he makes all things to grow; he brings in season both the seed time and the harvest time.25. And Tao Great was One; the One became the Two; the Two became the Three, the Three evolved the Seven, which filled the universe with manifests.26. And Tao Great gives unto all, the evil and the good, the rain, the dew, the sunshine and the flowers; from his rich stores he feeds them all.27. And in the same old book we read of man: He has a spirit knit to Tao Great; a soul which lives within the seven Breaths of Tao Great; a body of desires that springs up from the soil of flesh.28. Now spirit loves the pure, the good, the true; the body of desires extols the selfish self; the soul becomes the battle ground between the two.29. And blessed is the man whose spirit is triumphant and whose lower self is purified; whose soul is cleansed, becoming fit to be the council chamber of the manifests of Tao Great.30. Thus closed the lesson of Salome.

1. Elihu taught; he said, In ancient times a people in the East were worshippers of God, the One, whom they called Brahm.2. Their laws were just; they lived in peace; they saw the light within; they walked in wisdom's ways.3. But priests with carnal aims arose, who changed the laws to suit the carnal mind; bound heavy burdens on the poor, and scorned the rules of right; and so the Brahms became corrupt.4. But in the darkness of the age a few great masters stood unmoved; they loved the name of Brahm; they were great beacon lights before the world.5. And they preserved inviolate the wisdom of their holy Brahm, and you may read this wisdom in their sacred books.6. And in Chaldea, Brahm was known.

Men saw him as the One, the causeless Cause of all that is, and he was sacred unto them, as Tao to the dwellers of the farther East.17. The people lived in peace, and justice ruled.18. But, as in other lands, in Persia priests arose imbued with self and self desires, who outraged Force, Intelligence and Love;19. Religion grew corrupt, and birds and beasts and creeping things were set apart as gods.20. In course of time a lofty soul, whom men called Zarathustra, came in flesh.21. He saw the causeless Spirit, high and lifted up; he saw the weakness of all man appointed gods.22. He spoke and all of Persia heard; and when he said, One God, one people and one shrine, the altars of the idols fell, and Persia was redeemed.23. But men must see their Gods with human eyes, and Zarathustra said,24. The greatest of the Spirits standing near the throne is the Ahura Mazda, who manifests in brightness of the sun.25. And all the people saw Ahura Mazda in the sun, and they fell down and worshipped him in temples of the sun.26. And Persia is the magian land where live the priests who saw the star arise to mark the place where Mary's son was born, and were the first to greet him as the Prince of Peace.27. The precepts and the laws of Zarathustra are preserved in the Avesta which you can read and make your own.28. But you must know that words are naught till they are made alive; until the lessons they contain become a part of head and heart.29. Now truth is one; but no one knows the truth until he is the truth.

May I not go at once and wash?26. Matheno said, 'Tis well, and then they went down to the Jordan ford, and east fo Jericho, just where the hosts of Israel crossed when first they entered Canaan, they tarried for a time.27. Matheno taught the harbinger, and he explained to him the inner meaning of the cleansing rite and how to wash himself and how to wash the multitude.28. And in the river Jordan John was washed; then they returned unto the wilderness.29. Now in Engedi's hills Matheno's work was done and he and John went down to Egypt.

1. A royal prince of India, Ravanna of Orissa in the south, was at the Jewish feast.2. Ravanna was a man of wealth; and he was just, and with a band of Brahmic priests sought wisdom in the West.3. When Jesus stood among the Jewish priests and read and spoke, Ravanna heard and was amazed.4. And when he asked who Jesus was, from whence he came and what he was, chief Hillel said,5. We call this child the Day Star from on high, for he has come to bring to men a light, the light of life; to lighten up the way of men and to redeem his people, Israel.6. And Hillel told Ravanna all about the child; about the prophecies concerning him; about the wonders of the night when he was born; about the visit of the magian priests;7. About the way in which he was protected from the wrath of evil men; about his flight to Egypt-land, and how he then was serving with his father as a carpenter in Nazareth.8. Ravanna was entranced, and asked to know the way to Nazareth, that he might go and honour such a one as son of God.9. And with his gorgeous train he journeyed on the way and came to Nazareth of Galilee.10. He found the object of his search engaged in building dwellings for the sons of men.11. And when he first saw Jesus he was climbing up a twelve step ladder, and he carried in his hands a compass, square and axe.12. Ravanna said, All hail, most favoured son of heaven!13. And at the inn Ravanna made a feast for all the people of the town; and Jesus and his parents were honoured guests.14. For certain days Ravanna was a guest in Joseph's home on Marmion Way; he sought to learn the secret of the wisdom of the son; but it was all to great for him.15. And then he asked that he might be the patron of the child; might take him to the East where he could learn the wisdom of the Brahms.16. And Jesus longed to go that he might learn; and after many days his parents gave consent.17. Then, with proud heart, Ravanna with his train, began the journey towards the rising sun; and after many days they crossed the Sind, and reached the province of Orissa, and the palace of the prince.18. The Brahmic priests were glad to welcome home the prince; with favour they received the Jewish boy.19. And Jesus was accepted as a pupil in the temple Jagannath; and here learned the Vedas and the Manic laws.20. The Brahmic masters wondered at the clear conceptions of the child, and often were amazed when he explained to them the meaning of the laws.

1. In Lassa of Tibet there was a master's temple, rich in manuscripts of ancient lore.2. The Indian sage had read these manuscripts, and he revealed to Jesus many of the secret lessons they contained; but Jesus wished to read them for himself.3. Now, Meng-ste, greatest sage of all the farther East, was in this temple of Tibet.4. The path across Emodus heights was difficult; but Jesus started on his way, and Vidyapati sent with him a trusted guide.5. And Vidyapati sent a message to Meng-ste, in which he told about the Hebrew sage, and spoke for him a welcome by the temple priests.6. Now, after many days, and perils great, the guide and Jesus reached the Lassa temple in Tibet.7. And Meng-ste opened wide the temple doors, and all the priests and masters gave a welcome to the Hebrew sage.8. And Jesus had access to all the sacred manuscripts, and, with the help of Meng- ste, read them all.9. And Meng-ste often talked with Jesus of the coming age, and of the sacred service best adapted to the people of the age.10. In Lassa Jesus did not teach.

At once he sought his home in Nazareth.18. His mother's heart was filled with joy; she made a feast for him, inviting all her kindred and her friends.19. But Jesus' brothers were not pleased that such attention should be paid to one they deemed a sheer adventurer, and they went not in to the feast.20. They laughed their brother's claims to scorn; they called him indolent, ambitious, vain; a worthless fortune hunter; searcher of the world for fame, who, after many years returns to mother's home with neither gold, nor any other wealth.21. And Jesus called aside his mother and her sister, Miriam, and told them of his journey to the East.22. He told them of the lessons he had learned, and of the works that he had done.

1. A royal feast was held in honour of the birthday of the tetrarch in fortified Machaerus, east of the Bitter Sea.2. The tetrarch, Herod, and his wife, Herodias, together with Salome were there; and all the men and women of the royal court were there.3. And when the feast was done, lo, all the guests and courtiers were drunk with wine; they danced and leaped about like children in their play.4. Salome, daughter of Herodias, came in and danced before the king.

1. The Christine master spent a time in prayer and then he called the foreign masters, and he said to them,2. Behold, I sent the twelve apostles unto Israel, but you are sent to all the world.3. Our God is one, is Spirit, and is truth, and every man is dear to him.4. He is the God of every child of India, and the farther east; of Persia, and the farther north; of Greece and Rome and of the farther west; of Egypt and the farther south, and of the mighty lands across the seas, and of the islands of the seas.5. If God would send the bread of life to one and not to all who have arisen to the consciousness of life and can receive the bread of life, then he would be unjust and that would shake the very throne of heaven.6. So he has called you from the seven centres of the world, and he has breathed the breath of wisdom and of power into your souls, and now he sends you forth as bearers of the light of life, apostles of the human race.7. Go on your way, and as you go proclaim the gospel of the Christ.8. And then he breathed upon the masters and he said, Receive the Holy Breath; and then he gave to each the Word of power.9. And each went on his way, and every land was blest.10. Then Jesus went alone across the hills of Galilee and after certain days he reached the coast of Tyre, and in the home of Rachel he abode.11. He did not advertise his coming for he did not come to teach; he would commune with God where he could see the waters of the Mighty Sea.12. But Rachel told the news and multitudes of people thronged her home to see the Lord.13. A Grecian woman of Phenecia came; her daughter was obsessed.

Is there but one?6. And Jesus said, All men are sons of God by birth; God is the Father of the race; but all are not the sons of God by faith.7. He who attains the victory over self is son of God by faith, and he who speaks to you has overcome, and he is called son of God, because he is the pattern for the sons of men.8. He who believes and does the will of God is son of God by faith.9. The man in joy exclaimed, Lord, I believe in God, and in the son of God.10. And Jesus said, I came to open prison doors, to make the blind to see; but, lo, the Pharisees are blind from birth.11. And when I put the salve of truth upon their eyes, and bid them go and wash, and speak the sacred Word they will not go; they love the dark.12. A multitude of people pressed about the Lord, and he stood forth and said,13. You men of Israel, I say to you, The fold of God is large; its walls are strong, it has a gateway in the east, and he who does not enter by the gate into the fold, but climbs into the fold some other way, is thief and comes to rob.14. The shepherd of the sheep stands by the gate; he gives the secret sign; he knocks; the watchman opens up the gate.15. And then the shepherd calls his sheep by name; they hear his voice and follow him; they enter through the gate into the fold.16. The sheep know not a stranger's voice; they will not follow him; they flee away.17. The people did not understand the parable that Jesus spoke; and then he said,18. Christ is the gateway of the fold; I am the shepherd of the sheep, and he who follows me through Christ shall come into the fold where living waters flow, and where rich pastures are.19. False prophets come and go; they claim to be the shepherds of the sheep; they claim to know the way; but they know not the word of power; the watchman opens not the gate; the sheep heed not their call.20. The shepherd of the sheep will give his life to save the sheep.21. A hireling flees to save his life when wolves infest the fold; and then the tender lambs are snatched away, the sheep are scattered everywhere.22. I am the shepherd of the sheep; I know the sheep of God; they know my voice, as God knows me and I know him.23. The Father loves me with a deathless love, because I lay my life down for the sheep.24. I lay my life down when I will, but I may take it up again; for every son of God by faith has power to lay his mortal flesh aside and take it up again.

1. And Jesus went into another town upon the coast and spoke good words of cheer to those who followed him.2. And one stood forth and said, Lord, are there few that enter into life?3. And Jesus said, The way is rough that leads to life; the gate is narrow and is guarded well; but every one who seeks in faith shall find the way, and they who know the Word may enter in.4. But many seek the way for selfish gain; they pound upon the gate of life; but it is fast.5. The watchman from the turret says, I know you not; your speech is that of Ashdod, and your robes are those of sin; depart and go your way.6. And they will go their way with weeping and with gnashing of the teeth.7. And they will be enraged when they will be enraged when they see their father Abraham with Isaac, Jacob and the prophets, resting in the kingdom of the Christ, and they themselves debarred.8. And, lo, I say that men will come from lands afar, from east, from west, from north, from south and sit with me in consciousness of life.9. Behold, I say, the last shall be the first, the first shall be the last.10. All men are called unto the kingdom of the Christ; but few are chosen, for the pure in heart alone can see the king.11. And as he spoke a Pharisee came up and said, You man of Galilee, if you would save your life remain not here; flee instantly, for Herod swears that he will take your life, and even now his officers are seeking you.12. And Jesus said, Why is it that the Pharisees are so concerned about my life?

Let him who is upon his house wait not to enter in the house to gather up his wealth, but let him flee.17. And he who labours in the field must not return, but leave his all to save his life.18. And woe to mothers with their little children in that day; none shall escape the sword.19. The tribulation of these days cannot be told in words, for such has never been since God created man upon the earth.20. The conqueror will carry many of the sons of Abraham away as captives into foreign lands, and they who know not Israel's God will tread the highways of Jerusalem until the anti-Jewish times have been fulfilled.21. But when the people have been punished for their crimes, the tribulation days will end; but lo, the time will come when all the world will rise, like gladiators in a ring, and fight just for the sake of shedding blood.22. And men will reason not; they will not see, nor care to see a cause for carnage, desolation, thefts; for they will war with friend or foe.23. The very air will seem surcharged with smoke of death; and pestilence will follow close upon the sword.24. And signs that men have never seen will appear in heaven and earth; in sun, and moon, and stars.25. The seas will roar, and sounds will come from heaven that men can never comprehend, and these will bring distress of nations with perplexity.26. Hearts of the strongest men will faint in fear, in expectation of the coming of more frightful things upon the earth.27. But while the conflicts rage on land and sea, the Prince of Peace will stand above the clouds of heaven and say again:28. Peace, peace on earth; good will to men; and every man will throw away his sword, and nations will learn war no more.29. And then the man who bears the pitcher will walk forth across an arc of heaven; the sign and signet of the son of man will stand forth in the eastern sky.30. The wise will then lift up their heads and know that the redemption of the earth is near.31. Before these days shall come, behold, false Christs and poor deluded prophets will arise in many lands.32. And they will show forth signs, and do a multitude of mighty works; and they will lead astray the many who are not wise; and many of the wise will be deceived.33. And now I tell you once again, When men shall say, The Christ is in the wilderness, go you not forth.34. And if they say, The Christ is in the secret place, believe it not; for when he comes the world will know that he has come.35. For as the morning light comes from the east and shines unto the west; so shall be the coming of the age and son of man.36. The wicked of the earth will weep when they shall see the son of man come down upon the clouds of heaven, in power.37. Take heed you, O take heed, for you know not the hour nor the day when comes the son of man.38. Let not your hearts be overcharged with sensuous things, nor with the cares of life, lest that day come and find you unprepared.39. Keep watch at every season of the year; and pray that you may meet the Lord with joy and not with grief.40. Before those days shall come our Father-God will send his messengers abroad, yea, to the corners of the earth, and they will say.41. Prepare you, O prepare; the Prince of Peace shall come, and now is coming on the clouds of heaven.42. When Jesus had thus said, he went with his disciples back to Bethany.

He said,31. The Spirit of eternity is One unmanifest; and this is God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son in One.32. In life of manifests the One became the Three, and God the Father is the God of might; and God the Mother is omniscient God, and God the Son is love.33. And God the Father is the power of heaven and earth; and God the Mother is the Holy Breath, the thought of heaven and earth; and God the Son, the only son, is Christ, and Christ is love.34. I came as man to manifest this love to men,35. As man I have been subject unto all the trials and temptations of the human race; but I have overcome the flesh, with all its passions and its appetites.36. What I have done all men can do.37. And I am now about to demonstrate the power of man to conquer death; for every man is God made flesh.38. I will lay down my life, and I will take it up again, that you may know the mysteries of life, of death, and of the resurrection of the dead.39. I lay me down in flesh, but I will rise in spirit form with power to manifest myself so mortal eyes can see.40. So in a trinity of days I will show forth the all of life, the all of death, the meaning of the resurrection of the dead.41. And what I do all men can do.42. And you, my three, who constitute the inner circle of the Church of Christ, will show to men the attributes of all the Gods.43. And Peter shall make known the Power of God; and James shall show Thought of God; and John shall demonstrate the Love of God.44. Be not afraid of men, for you have been sent forth to do the mighty works of God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son.45. And all the powers of carnal life cannot destroy your life until your work is done.46. I leave you now, and I will go out in the darkness all alone and talk with God.47. By sorrow I am overwhelmed I leave you here to watch with me.48. Then Jesus went three hundred cubits toward the east, and fell upon his face and prayed; he said,49. My God!

His palace in Orissa was the place where men of thought from all the farther East were wont to meet.2. Ravanna was the prince with whom child Jesus went to India many years ago.3. The feast was made in honour of the wise men of the East.4. Among the guests were Meng-ste, Vidyapati and Lamaas.5. The wise men sat about the table talking of the needs of India and the world.6. The door unto the banquet hall was in the east; a vacant chair was at the table to the east.7. And as the wise men talked a stranger entered, unannounced, and raising up his hands in benediction said, All hail!8. A halo rested on his head, and light, unlike the light of sun, filled all the room.9. The wise men rose and bowed their heads and said, All hail!10. and Jesus sat down in the vacant chair; and then the wise men knew it was the Hebrew prophet who had come.11. And Jesus said, Behold, for I am risen from the dead.

One of the huge portals that presently is being fought over is the portal of the Middle East.

They are losing control of the planet, so they are going back to their prime portal in the Middle East, where their nest is located underneath the ground, to create fear and chaos.

On the east side of this waterfall we found various caverns and horrifying pits, and we tested their depth with many ropes, despite the length of which we never could reach the bottom.

Shiraho Saonetabaru Cave: Discovered during airport construction, this site yielded the oldest and a nearly complete human skeleton in East Asia, around 27,000 years old, found in a cave on Ishigaki Island. 

The Minatogawa Man should be assigned to the oldest type of Mongoloids or modern Homo sapiens in East Asia.

at the east of the garden He stationed the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.”

Illustration: Dry glacial climate in Near East.

In the Near East, a corresponding northerly migration of mosoon rains, resulting in a kind of "Garden of Eden" in Jordan, Palestine, Mesopotamia.

For an excellent summary of the effects of these and other climatic changes in the Middle East, see Wright, Current Anthropology34,#4 (1993) 458-69.

Abrupt cooling in Europe and North America, return of near glacial conditions; in the Near East, an abrupt drought, leading to retreat to oases, possibly related to development of agriculture as a coping strategy.

End of Younger Dryas, return of wet warm conditions in Near East, time of plenty.

Severe cold snap; possible short time of hardship in Near east as in Younger Dryas.

Authors of forthcoming geological report suggest that this may be related to the Sumerian/biblical flood, though this claim is disputed by ancient Near East scholars who believe that the location is too remote from Mesopotamia.

Atlantic hypsithermal "Eden"; wet warm conditions in Near East, time of plenty.

In Mesopotamia, and in the arid areas of the middle east in general, a period of wet years in which oases would have expanded and wild fruits and nuts abounded would have been followed by a growing dryier and less hospitable climate in which perhaps organized civilization would have been necessary for continued survival.

The city of Susa, xxx miles east on the foothills of the Zagros Mountains (now Iran) was the center of the Elamite civilization which was generally at war with the Sumerian valley occupants.

She is estimated to have lived 150,000–200,000 years ago in East Africa.

Scholars note this influence likely occurred through cultural contact, possibly during the Babylonian exile (6th century BCE) when Jewish scribes encountered these motifs, or earlier via trade and migration in the ancient Near East.

These parallels indicate diffusion of ideas across the Near East and Indus regions, with numbers often rooted in astronomical or base-60/10 systems for symbolic emphasis.
