Continuation of Home Page

In 1948, three years after the defeat of Japan, occasionally Japanese soldiers were still found that were hiding, or were scavenging about for food, believing the war had not ended. My dad took no chances. He always double checked that the door was locked, and secure.

That story told by my dad shows something supernatural was happening.

Even if the door was not locked, the door knob can not be turned by the wind so that it can open. A strong wind can not blow into the back of a room, and pass over people when the rest of the room is closed. This sign given to my parents showed that I would be protected early in life, and all through life by angels.

That sign is found repeated 2000 years ago in the NT. Here is one example found in Acts 12:6- 11. "And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, "Arise quickly!'' And his chains fell off his hands. Then the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and tie on your sandals''; and so he did. And he said to him, "Put on your garment and follow me.'' So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. And when Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.''

My story is similar to a portion of the Greek myth "The Odyssey," where Athena guided Odysseus through many dangers, finally bringing him home to defeat those who had invaded his home, who daily dined, and were served by his own servants, and were now about to wed his fair Penelope. Penelope symbolizes the soul of humanity. What church will take her soul? The rightful husband, or a traitor? In that story Odysseus would be the apostle Paul, and I would be his son Telemakhos, who were both aided by Athena to bring victory to that family. Athena would be considered the counterpart of Jehovah in Christianity.

In the Iliad, there were 29 Greek contingents, who each mustered several ships with crew. The number of ships vary from 100, lead by Agamemnon, who with his brother Menelaos, husband of Helen, began this war of revenge, to as few as three ships, lead by Nireus. Only two leaders had ships of 12. Aias, son of Telemon, had 12 ships, and so did Odysseus. Ishamel, who later became Mohammed, the prophet, representing Islam is symbolized in the story of Aias, and Telemon, where Mohammed would be Telemon. Genesis 17:20 "He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation," That was a blessing by God upon Ishmael, first son of Abraham. Ishmael would later be reborn as Simon of Cyrene, and be crucified as the look alilke, who later would be reborn as Mohammed, the prophet.

Odysseus represents the apostle Paul, whose religion came from a Blessing by God upon Abraham for all of the people of the earth, who had a second son Isaac, who also had a blessing, who later had a son named Jacob, who was blessed, who fathered the 12 sons of Israel. Isaac later was reborn as Solomon, and then later as Jesus, creating the 12 apostles of Christianity " Genesis 35:22 "Now the sons of Jacob "Israel" were twelve, " and Matthew 10:2 "Now the names of the twelve apostles are these:..." Those stories are also myth stories, which contain deeper truths. Jesus in the Illiad, and the Odyssey is the Roman god Mercury, or in Greek the god Hermes.

I am still working on the below article, so it will seem bumpy concerning the myth, and relating what is going on. Hopefully in a few months it will be fine.

After the defeat of Troy, the Greek war hero Achilles had also died. This shows that the myth stories will soon be overcome by the guile of the milk of the NT, and the pure milk of the Koran, so that myths are deemed unworthy of respect. There follows a contest between Odysseus, and Aias. Odysseus represents both the milk, and the solid food of the NT, which together makes for guile, and Aias, represents the future adherents of Islam who did not figure out the NT. So he would represent the milk without guile of the Koran. These two had a contest to find who would inherit Achilles arms, which arms represents he who would prevail in the upcoming battle between Islam, and Christianity. Odysseus won, and Aias in a fit of rage due to this slur on his honor sought to murder Agamemnon, Menelaos, and Odysseus. However the goddess Athena deluded the mind of Aias so he killed sheep in his camp, and not men.

The sheep are the Christians who follow the milk, which is full of guile. History has proven that the so called sheep of Jesus have battled for centuries against Islam over stupid ideas, neither of which are found in the NT, or Koran. Instead they fight over the traditions of men. Telemon would have known better than to do what his son did.

When Aias comes to his senses he realizes his compounded losses, and now sees his only alternative is suicide, which he does by falling on the sword, which was given to him by Hektor as an exchange of gifts between respected foes. This sword shows the future wars of the Roman Catholic Church, together later with the Protestants against Islam. Odysseus persuades Agamemnon to allow him to bury the traitor Aias, as Odysseus puts it, "I too shall come to that need" that is every mortal will need one day the hand of another to bury him. This story represents not the fidelity of Mohammed now becoming a traitor, but rather Islam's future reluctance over many centuries to accept the solid food in the NT. They believe the NT is false, even when the Koran says it is not, and therefore will not search its scriptures to find the hidden truth to validate the Koran. They are deluded.

The above two paragraphs quickly summarized some ideas, which spans about two thousand years, and which will now try to be explained in more detail. Still working on this, along with playing spider solitaire, which I have won about half a dozen times now at the difficult level, over a period of three months. At least there I can see some winning outcomes.

During the return to Ithica after the war with Troy, the men of Odysseus release a bag of wind, questioning why he had it, thinking a treasure was within, but instead it was intended to bring them safely, and swiftly home. This shows the beginning of the destruction of the true followers of Jesus. They would be taught the babes in Christ teachings, a bag of wind, which later would open up to allow false prophets, like Constantine, and seek for treasure, or a beautiful material world. Had they continued to follow the original teachings, even though it was a bag of wind, then Islam would have won over Christianity, but in the end Christianity would still be the victor, which would mean the original myth would be told differently. However, God planned it as we see here.

Not long after this the men of Ithica enter the cave of Circe, where a spell is placed on the men, and they become pigs, which the Koran says happens to some, but it is only temporary, and they are reborn as a human again. Since their soul is destroyed, being born as a pig for a short time is no loss in their evolution. Probably helps purge them of their evil deeds, by being guided by angels for a time. Odysseus is able to overcome all the craft of Circe, and keep his true form. This event shows the death, and later rebirth of the apostle Paul in another life, where he remains true to the deeper teachings of Christ. This time would correspond to roughly around 1000 AD.

Soon after the men do more mutinous deeds when they ate sacred cattle belonging to the sun God, which symbolizes the reborn Christians going against the Koran. They are all destroyed by Zeus, except for Odysseus. Prophecy in Acts, told by me, says that those who do not follow the Koran, their soul is utterly destroyed. Still they will be reborn to be given another chance. They likely become pigs once again, and the process repeats. What the Koran says openly, is hinted by me at 2 Peter 2:20 - 22. Paramahansa Yogananda of the SRF, found at my favorite links, says that the Pig is an animal that is closely related to man. The apostle Paul, reborn as Max, will by guile make it appear that transmigration is not possible, but in truth he has said it can happen.

Then after many more years Odysseus was held captive in a cave of the sorceress kalypso, which has similar symbolism to the other time with Circe, showing how long it would be until his return home, due to his later death, and reincarnation more recently (1865 -1919).

Although the reborn apostle Paul died only a century ago, that act symbolizes his final return, in this story, where he corrects the abuses of those who would not follow him, and Christ by giving the deeper teachings of Christ publicly, but still guile, a bag of wind, was once again involved in the recent teachings as well. Paul will return again in another future life, but for now in his most recent life, his work in the episode of the Odyssey is almost over. The return of Odysseus to Ithaca finally reaching the shore, and entering his home (after his long absence due to the war at Troy, in the Illiad, and all the ordeals along the way as he traveled in the Odyssey) represents the apostle Paul, when he was reborn, and was called Max Heindel.

During his return on the land of Ithica Odysseus conceals himself by looking like a poor beggar, so the suitors to his Penelope do not try to kill him. The suitors who have sinned against Odysseus are, in a manner of thinking, blind to his true identity. (That symbology is explained further below.) Odysseus waits for his son "Telemakhos" to help him, where the son closes the doors so no one can escape, and then he reveals who Odysseus is, and together the father, symbolized by the many works Max left behind, and his son, who is alive today, begin the slaughter, which includes the explanations found at this web site.

Odysseus used all the guile he could muster so as not to be involved in the battle to destroy Troy. When Palamedes came to recruit him, he feigned insanity by yoking a horse with an oxe, and sowing salt instead of seed. That act very well describes his crafty ability to trick most people, which would later be involved in the insane story by the apostle Paul of the vicarious atonement by the blood of Jesus Christ. When Palamedes saw through the deception of Odysseus he had to reveal his sanity in order to save the life of his son Telemachos. That act represents the solid food that Paul placed in the NT, which his son, represented by the apostle Peter, would use to save the church of Jesus Christ when Peter was reborn, such as today.

Max Heindel never openly revealed in his works who he was in a past life, but instead he hid under the garment of a story about a man who was blind. (See link on Home page "the reborn apostle Paul.") Then the reborn Peter shows who was the reborn Paul. He also opens a sufficient number of doors in the Bible, Matthew 24:33 "So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, at the very doors," showing the deeper truths within, and then he closes them, allowing none to escape so that a new kingdom can begin. Revelation 11:15 "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'' That battle has almost begun. It is only a few years away, and will happen before the year 2010. Right now the reborn Peter is preparing to seal the doors so the Sixth Trumpet can begin. Revelation 9:15 "So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind."

Just before the destruction of the traitors, Odysseus strings a bow so powerful that no one, but himself has the strength to string it. He then shoots an arrow, which represents a shaft of light of the sun, through 12 axe helve sockets all in a line, which 12 sockets represents the precession of the sun through the 12 signs of the zodiac. The travel of the sun through the zodiac is the clock of destiny for humanity in their evolutionary progress toward God. The length of time is typically 2100 years from one sign to the next, but the cycle today has been shortened, compressing an immense period of time into a short span of years so that humanity may overcome their ignorance on spiritual matters, because without it they now have knowledge on material matters, sufficient to destroy all of life on the entire planet.

The works of the reborn Paul will serve as the instruction for mankind in the upcoming age of Aquarius. Matthew 24:22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” These ideas you have read here have been put into my head for me to see, and then to give to you, for the time is right to make this known. 2 Peter 1:20-21 " knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." 4

Returning now to how I learned I am the reborn apostle Peter. That story told to me by my dad, which happened near my birth was not revealed to me until I was about 30 years old. For some reason my Dad generally only told me how tough his life had been, and that I had been born with a silver spoon in my mouth. In retrospect I know today it was the other way around. My father died before I told him all that you have read here.

The following may seem to be unkind comments about my dad. Eventually some one will write a biography on me, which will include my father, among other things. My brother, and sister will be interviewed for some family facts, and so what you are soon to read is merely beating some author who will try to cash in on my life. If looked at that way then I am not bitter, or angry, or if not to have told you, I am not being modest, or saintly either. No propriety is shown by those who keep silent on their families peccadilloes, as some one else will eventually publish all for them. Are we not to be brothers, and sisters in Christ: a fellowship? What follows may also seem to some as being personal, which displays a weakness, but in my viewpoint, it is being brotherly, as would be a brother, sister, mother or father in Christ. Being impersonal may mean being an insensitive jerk, I have found many like that, so we should be careful if we are not aware of another's motives, or their state of being.

I never hated my dad, but when between the age of three, and twelve years old, was glad he left as soon as he did, being he was in the Army, and rarely at home, as he was intolerant, strict, and spanked me for the slightest problem, such as forgetting one time to do a chore. At another time, I was spanked when my brother was at fault, for making too much noise while my dad tried to sleep in late. I was quiet as I did not like the mindless game of "Monopoly" we were playing, but he blamed all of us for no good reason at all. Why not spank my brother and sister for not reminding me of my forgotten chore? Things like that never happened to me. Generally I was hurt, for what others did, but no one was hurt, but me, when I was at fault. My dad, and mom knew my brother tortured me, but they let it go on for years. Eventually when I was big enough I was able to put a stop to it by myself, and I never took revenge. I merely let him know to end it by one sound punch to his bicep. A harmless display of power, that showed a potential for more. Still I visited my father, and even my mother all through their life. (I don't visit my mom anymore, as my brother still tortures me, but now by sending thoughts of hatred, so I must stay away. I am a sensitive, meaning I have a very lax, or loose connection between my physical body, and my vital body, or some call it their astral body. My mom, though she cares for me like an animal cares for their young, will do nothing to stop my brother's hatred of me. She should throw him out, but instead she makes excuses for him so I may continue to suffer. For that reason in 20 years now I have never seen her, nor has she has ever visited my children. All of which shows she takes care of herself like would an animal.) I never did anything to insult my dad in his later years, but he continued at times to make slight insults toward me, which were more like mocking me in a fatherly way. If he were still alive he would visit my family.

When I was about fourteen years old, my dad finally became tolerant to a degree, and became more or less a decent person. Still he continued as a workaholic, so I rarely saw him. Later he committed adultery, and finally divorced my mom, and then fornicated, until he found a second wife. My mom was a virtual vegetable concerning her involvement in his life. He liked to socialize in public, on a political like scale, and so she was a detriment. He was handsome, and was like a play boy, but he rarely drank alcohol. As far as the community, and church looked at him he was a model citizen for all to follow. He could be seen in the local news paper, and on TV from time to time. He worked to make himself look good before others, just like a politician. They knew nothing of his home life.

After my birth, my first personal experience leading to my eventual discovery that I am the reborn apostle Peter happened when I lived with my parents on Mount Soledad, located in San Diego, CA. I was thirteen years old, and saw while watching TV a scene of Italy, of mountains not far from Rome. I was intrigued, and said to myself, "I know that place," like I had lived there before, and yet I did not understand how it could be. All I knew was that I lived there before. That memory would reinforce the concept of who I was in a past life, so that with all the later events that followed, which added up to the same idea, I could finally conclude that I am the reborn apostle Peter, the head of the Church of Jesus Christ on earth, while Jesus Christ is the head of the Church in Heaven, all in obedience to God, the Father.

As found elsewhere, my saying I am the head of the church on earth really implies very little. I am like a signet ring, Haggi 2:23, on the finger of God, which shows that the works you see, such as the miracles, wonders, and so on, are God's doing. I am considered nothing more than "the day of small things," Zechariah 4:10. All of the impressive ideas most make of Peter, are little more than saying Jesus is God, when in fact he is not. If only what was said so far completely described what a small thing I am, then I might feel good about myself, but I am still even smaller.

A signet ring is not like a ring one wears on their finger everyday to proudly show what college they graduated from, or who they are married to, or branch of service they were in. A signet ring may not come out for a year, or may stay hidden even longer until a document needs to be signed, and a seal placed upon it. In the time frame of God, how humans look at it, I very rarely show up, and most forget that such a ring exists. So we can say I am kept in a drawer, in a place most do not know where the ring is kept, and only on solemn occasions do I appear. That then very well describes my activity seen by men. I am not seen. There is much talk about a change, but there is no change yet. There is no need to take the ring out, and stamp a change. The miracles, and such are like talking about a need for a reform, but there is no change as yet in sight. I hope that gives one an idea on "The day of small things."

I am sure that what was said so far, still does not bring me down to the insignificant item that I should consider myself to be. The only last thought that enters my mind right now, is that signet rings are becoming obsolete.

It so happens that there is a good chance for a person to remember the last few events in their life, if they know they are soon to die. Almost two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ told me that the laying aside of my tent was imminent: that I would soon be deceased. I was crucified at Rome, and so my last few days I no doubt traveled around, and reflected upon the beauty of God's creation.

My second experience that lead to my discovery of being the reborn apostle Peter happened when I was 29 years old, when I was around the mountains near Boulder, Colorado during the Fall of 1977. It was about noontime. I was alone, when I heard this voice softly speak to me saying: "You are the witness in the Book of Revelation." As soon as that was said, an image of what I now know to be the Mount of Olives was projected into my mind. When I saw the image it appeared as nothing more than a hill that was rock strewn, arid, and not very pretty. I thought, "I would not care to visit that spot." About 20 years later I saw the identical picture in a book on Jerusalem. It was the favorite spot that Jesus liked to visit.

Six months later, after the Boulder experience, Jesus came to me when I was in the mountains in Arizona, approaching Flagstaff. He was invisible, but he was still able to pound on my heart until I cried out in pain. I asked "Who are you?" He said, "I am Jesus." I could care less, and was even a bit disgusted because from my experience with Christians they were a disgrace to themselves, and the planet. Therefore if the servants are a disgrace, I reasoned how much more their master. I could not really respect any master that allowed his servants to behave as they did. (I have since learned that such people are doing the very best they can, even if they would kill me right now, but for the law, and the police, which prevents my death at thier hands. ) Still, Jesus continued to beat on my heart again, and again. I was in great pain. I asked "What do you want?" He said "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." It so happens that those words come from Revelation 3:20. I did not know where that came from until about 20 years later. So, logically, as told earlier I was being prepared to be the Witness in the Book of Revelation, without my ever knowing what was going on.

Continuing the conversation with Jesus from above: I then said to Jesus, speaking to thin air, "Come on in." I thought, "What do I have to lose except not getting beat up anymore." So, Jesus came into my body, via my heart, interpenetrating his invisible body with mine. He talked only briefly, but let me feel his presence more than anything else. I actually felt no different with him in me, than before he came in, except I was aware that he was like a friend. He seemed like a decent person, even though only a little earlier he was close to beating me to death. I asked "What should I do?", and he said "Go and be baptized." As a note: Most people if touched by Jesus are elated. They say they have been set free. So that can only mean I was living in an elated state on my own for about a year before I met Jesus. I also found that I could heal people at times, but that power is now gone, as will be explained elsewhere.

Since I was new to this, that is, talking to invisible people, much less getting beat up by them, I did not know what more to ask. Soon Jesus left, and did not harm me anymore. It took me about 25 years later to finally understand what was the actual baptism that Jesus wished me to have, but until then I thought I needed to have a minister lay his hands on me. My parents never taught me one Bible verse, and I never saw them read the Bible at home, yet my dad was a Deacon, and my mom was the church secretary. In Sunday school I learned a few Bible stories, but I do not recall ever reading them from a Bible. Now that I am an adult, having raised my own children I can see how very odd was my childhood, which helps explain my long ignorance on the Bible. (Well, I think that makes for a good excuse anyway.)

Of course if I knew then what I know today I would have asked many questions from Jesus. The only time that Jesus has ever spoken to me since then was recently, around January 2006. He informed me several times that my mother, when I was Peter, who lives today, called Diana Josephine Brodick, a member of the Rosicrucian Fellowship, should never be trusted. Elsewhere in this site it is shown how to read between the lines in order to understand the deeper meaning of obscure ideas. It will be found that my mother was like Jezebel, 1 Kings 21:24, who was an evil woman. Since the works of this world are evil, (The Bible says so, that is not me talking) then she is protected, whereas in an Islamic nation she would be executed. Beyond that help, one of his angel friends, Revelation 10:1-7, came to me on September 8, 1998, which finally got me to study the Bible, and the Koran, which if you read this entire web site you will learn the Koran is part of New Testament prophecy. So called Christians are beating up the servants of Christ, Matthew 24:48-51, because they can't believe Islam is part of NT prophecy. (That is harder to believe for most "Christians" than believing an invisible person called Jesus beat me up.)

As one reads along here, what they will read about me, where they see my great ignorance will make one be doubtful that I could be the historic figure called the apostle Peter. The reborn apostle Paul did not know who he was in a past life until he was near 50 years old.

The reborn apostle Paul does not write very much about his childhood, and other anecdotes related to his life, so that when one reads about him, where nearly only his successes are found, then he seems to be the real reborn apostle Paul. I hope the reader will realize that had Paul revealed many of his memories, that when he was done, that many would consider him an imposture. What little the reborn Paul did reveal about some of his problems, should be sufficient for an intelligent person to extrapolate on, and know where at times they may find the reborn apostle Paul hanging out, prior to his conversion, before he became again the man we all consider saintly.

It is unfortunate that most of humanity must be treated like they are mentally incompetent to make correct decisions merely because too much information was given them. They can not sift through the dross to see the gold. The typical reader may be offended by what I have said here. Lets look at it this way, you should be offended instead because the reborn apostle Paul knew you were intellectually inferior, and could not be trusted with seeing into his all too human life. He treated you like you are inferior, I merely talk about it, and yet most are offended by me. That is why he remained silent.

This is a new world coming upon us, and so we should be able to be like a brother, and sister in Christ. We should be proud we can be one another's spiritual brother, or sister, not proud that each is like a King, or Queen we know very little about, except to see them in their royal coach as they pass by.

Next is related what Jesus meant for me to do concerning baptism, but he did not tell me as he knew I would learn eventually. However, before doing that I will give a little background first so we can see a deeper meaning is found next to what is considered a mature baptism. In order to do so I quote, found three paragraphs further below, one extra verse earlier before baptism is mentioned. Those verses we will look at below are taken from a letter of my own, written when moved by the Holy Spirit, so another connection can be seen, which relates to what Jesus said found in the gospels, Matthew 24:37 "As in the Days of Noah, so will be the coming of the son of man." That son of man, as the reader will find out in more detail later, refers to the reborn Peter, not to the commonly believed return of the physical body of Jesus Christ. The fact that this "son of man" is the reborn Peter, the one Jesus said his church will be built upon, Matthew 16:18-19, is like a grand shake down. It is a sifting, and testing of humanity to prove what is the truth. As we recall from above, when Jesus first spoke to me, I did not like modern Christians, and it so happens neither does Jesus like most of them either, Matthew 7:21 - 23, but he hopes for their redemption, as do I. Therefore, before Jesus returns I must try, and clean up these despicable so called "Christians."

More background continues. In case the reader has not read yet elsewhere, how by guile the term “the son of man” was used to make it appear that Jesus was crucified, when he was not, then this brief explanation follows. Isaac, and Ishmael, who were two sons of Abraham were reborn two thousand years later, and at that time Isaac was called Jesus, and Ishmael was called Simon of Cyrene. Both of them had the status of being a son of man. By guile Simon was crucified due to his carrying the cross of Jesus. During a favorable time as Simon was carrying the cross of Jesus, when Jesus appeared to have regained his strength, Jesus came near to pick up the cross again. (After all, Jesus could make the cross as light as a feather, by another miracle, so his great suffering of carrying such a burdensome object was more deception, or guile.) At that time Jesus transformed Simon to look like Jesus, and Jesus transformed himself to look like Simon, and Simon then was crucified, while Jesus escaped looking like Simon.

During the time when Jesus preached the gospel, he chose a person who would be his close companion, who would be like a brother, who he called Peter. Jesus said that flesh and blood would not inherit the kingdom of Christ, but instead those who were spiritual brothers of Christ. Jesus prepared for a similar exchange two thousand years later, which is happening now in our modern world today, when Jesus used in the NT once again the term “the son of man” to make it appear that Jesus would come again in the second coming of Christ, who would appear during a time he said would be like in the days of Noah. However, as it was at the crucifixion so does it happen again today to be an exchange of who will suffer the most. During our time today Jesus would remain entirely spiritual, so to most of humanity he would be invisible, showing what we must all become someday, while Peter would be the person most of humanity would see. This being done so I turn my attention to the spirit worlds, I suppose, so I stop playing around down on earth.

Now with that introduction finished, here is that verse on true Baptism: 1 Peter 3:20-21. “who formerly were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us, namely baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,”.

I did not need to have anyone lay their hands on me, or to sprinkle, or immerse me with water, which methods are for the "Babes in Christ," and such do not make one mature. I needed to be righteous, which I already was, but I never recognized that until recently. If I knew what I know today, when Jesus said "Be baptized," I would have said "I am already baptized, though no baptismal water has touched me. Now what do you wish me to do?"

However, my change into a better person only happened after I had meditated for a few years, called TM, and tasted some of the Christ within. I became pure, and never wished to indulge in sex again. My parents raised me to be obedient to the laws of the land, to be a good US Citizen, but my upbringing was also at times like being raised in a barn, so I did not know what was proper sexual conduct, and in the public schools I attended it seemed very few knew any better either.

As one will learn, after my tasting the Christ within, I am doing what Jesus wanted me to do next, because he knew I would figure it out, by connecting the dots, which is to be the witness in the book of Revelation, who is also the son of man as in the days of Noah. Of course if most anyone had also seen, as I did, a magnificent angel, whose arms glowed with shimmering white light, who told them certain things to attend to, they might figure out what I did as well. Unfortunately, since most people do not think scientifically, they would eventually believe the angel was the Devil himself due to their prior prejudices. If they talked to a Christian minister there is a 99 % chance, and higher that the minister would state that was the devil that came to them, once they realized that Islam was involved.

The verse quoted above is a typical translation, but it is an inaccurate one. By translating it properly, there are more sublime ideas to find. The Greek word "di" is usually translated "through," or "among," or "by," but it can also mean "within." Most publishers translate this sentence as follows , 1 Peter 3:20 "...while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved "di" through water" That should seem an odd thing to imagine. For example, if eight souls were lost in a forest, and then saved, generally we would read that eight souls were saved within the forest. They would not be saved by the forest, or through the forest. A forest can not save anyone. If a forest is on fire, and you are in the forest, the fire does not save you, so you can not say I was saved by fire, or saved through fire.

There is a proverb "Being tested by fire" but if one fails their test, we may say the fire destroyed them. So even then we are not saved by fire, nor can it be said we are saved through water. If we are saved through water it only happens because we have succeeded at passing some test. As explained futher below that test was presented so we would prove we had developed lungs. In that manner of thinking then the water is a test, but it is not what saves us, and neither does sprinkling of water on us save us.

Water does not save anyone, unless they are dying of thirst, or they are on fire. When you are in water, and drowning, like were drowned the others not in the ark, then you certainly are not saved by water. We should accept that the first use of "di" in verse 20, was meant to set up how we are to understand the next verse, 3:21, where we are saved by the resurrection of Jesus Christ within ourselves, which relates to a higher consciousness. The ark was in the sea, and the ark saved those within the ark. The ark is also symbolism for the human body. The body is our ark that our spirit dwells within. Another symbol which represents the body, and the spirit within is found in the second letter of Peter. 1:14 "knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me." If we were in a flood, and were to get out of the ark, or we were put off the ark, then we would likely drown. If we put off our tent, then we have left our body, and the body dies.

What we are being shown then is our past evolutionary career, when we were in what was called an ark, when we were animal like, as many animals were aboard the ark, and this is compared to our present path which we must overcome, which is more ethereal, so it is called a tent, which if we succeed in our next evolutionary step we are like the angels. To succeed at one level of evolution millions of years ago, while in a body symbolized by the ark, we had to develop lungs so we may breath air, that is why those who had no lungs in their ark, or body drowned. The reason for that drowing is explained briefly further below. Therefore this shows that the physical body must evolved.

After that period then over millions of years we gained a better mind, whereby concepts such as discussed here could be understood. There comes a time where we must further evolve, so that our mind is not animal like, but cares for others, and will even sacrifice things we have earned, so that others may benefit from our efforts. When we are able to live our life in that manner, then we will slowly evolve a body that is invisible. When that invisible body, invisible to the naked eye, has been sufficiently developed, then we can leave our earthly body behind, and live with Christ. If we have not evolved that invisible body, then when "The Day of the Lord" arrives, called the "Day of Resurrection" by the Qur'an, which is an actual test by fire, the physical body will be destroyed, and those without the invisible body will not be able to evolve with those who have developed it, which is also called the garment of the saints. The details on that evolution are explained by Max, the reborn apostle Paul found at my favorite links: The Rosicrucian Fellowship.

Many traditions from other cultures tell of a great flood, from the ancient Mesopotamian "Epic of Gilgamesh," to the Hebrew Bible, to many native American stories. The Greeks tell of a primeval flood, which destroyed the previous descendants, which lead to a new breed from which the present humanity descended. In the Greek myth it is mount Parnassos where the "ark" of Deukalion, and his wife Pyrrha came to rest. Max goes into more detail on that flood, and explains that we evolved lungs, so we could take in oxygen directly to our lungs, rather than maintaining gill clefts, which could breath the heavy fog mist which existed millions of years ago. So our body was the ark, and those who could not breath air directly drowned when the atmosphere of earth cooled, and further condensed from a heavy moist fog, and turned into the sea.

Atlantis existed, but when the heavy moist fog condensed, and formed the sea, then that continent was submerged, and so it is called lost. Those creatures, which were ourselves long ago, who had developed lungs, then could walk out of the basins, which are filled by the oceans today, and crossed the Gobi desert. Of course back then that great region which is an inhospitable desert today, was different, and could support life.

This next example makes it clear enough. 2 Peter 3:5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in "di" the water, That is not my translation, but one that has been quoted directly out of a typical Bible. So, we can say that the publishers have purposely mistranslated the earlier verses, so that we may forget what the ark symbolizes, that we may not know how to evolve properly so we can not find the Kingdom of Heaven is within. That being allowed by God so we might fail in one respect, all the while we may succeed at another, which was to conquer the physical world. The link "Creating myths from guile" shows why God allowed this to happen, which explains that this is also a period of testing. It is the resurrection of the Christ within our ark, which is our next evolutionary path we must prepare for, or we will perish.

Jesus said Luke 17:21." neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, there! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you." So the ark may save us again, this time by the resurrection of the Christ within that ark. If in addition we take the greek word "eis" to mean "within," instead of "toward" then we have a more certain connection to Luke 17:21. Now when we read 1 Peter 3:21 we may see that this deeper idea was meant to be found concerning being saved. " There is also an antitype which now saves us, namely baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience "eis" within God), "di" in the resurrection of Jesus Christ."

A good conscience is found only within a person. It is not something on the outside. If a person on the outside is always watching us, and waiting to put us in jail for violating the law, that is not our conscience. That is the fear of punishment that makes us appear good. Therefore we are shown that the kingdom of Christ is within, and only by that resurrection of our higher conscience do we become righteous, so we will obey the laws of God, so that we are saved by our deeds. Max explains how by our good deeds that the garment of the saint is grown. Therefore an outside Christ can only show the way, it is up to ourselves to build the Christ within each of us, and be saved.

For about 20 years I never understood what the NT was about, except from what I learned by reading the Rosicrucian Fellowship (RF) teachings, which teachings this site refers to in great detail, and refers occasionally to the works from the Theosophical Society. Currently I am also adding quotes from the book "The Second Coming of Christ" by the SRF. The RF was started by the reborn apostle Paul, which is proven at the link "The reborn apostle Paul" located at my Home Page. Noah was mentioned earlier above, and that word Noah continues to show convincing correspondences to two reborn apostles in our modern world today. Noah is mentioned only three times after the four gospels: once in Hebrews, written by an unknown writer, but by simple investigation is shown to be written by Paul, ( just like the RF can be proven likewise to have been started by the reborn Paul) and Noah is found twice in my letters of Peter. That implies that we two apostles are born near the time of a great destruction upon all the earth, and it will happen during my life time. Just like it happened during Noah's lifetime. We will say it is coming, and will tell how to prepare, but few will listen, and that is "like in the days of Noah." After all, it is a simile, so it is not identical, but it is a good comparison.

Jesus said: Matthew 24:27 "As the lightening flashes from east to west, so will be the coming of the son of man." That relates to the same area in scripture, which talks about a future time, where is also found the verse "like in the days of Noah." A simile again. The internet flashes its messages from east to west at the speed of light. Right before Jesus talks about the days of the son of man he said, Matthew 24:25-26, "See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, `Look, He ( The second coming of Christ) is in the desert!' do not go out; or `Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it. Therefore it should be clear that even Jesus is saying that the son of man during a time like the days of Noah is not himself. Obviously one gigantic hint, that should be like being hit over the head with a brick. This with all other proofs is a clear proof, that I am that son of man.

In addition, Peter is the only person after the book of Acts that brings up Paul's name, thereby linking these two past apostles to today's Rosicrucian Fellowship. The RF works, at the very beginning in a poem called "Creed or Christ" clearly show that Peter, and Paul are the two primary apostles of Jesus Christ. As I show near the end of the New Testament, 2 Peter 3:13-16, our close relationship, so does Max Heindel, who was the reborn apostle Paul, begin his first book showing that our intimate relationship has not diminished today.

On top of all of that, it can be said that the Bible is written so as to reflect my personal life, as I live from life to life, thereby showing my growth, which for most people will be the same path they will follow as they work their way toward thier own personal resurrection of the Christ within. The average person will not be able to understand the Bible, or Koran unless the angels of God, and holy people help us along the way so we can read between the lines, and understand how to connect the dots so we may finally see the whole picture.

Click on the button "About Me" if you have not done so already, and you will see quickly what I mean by how understanding my life is like understanding the Bible, which is done by connecting the dots, which dots are the experiences in my life. You could compare my childhood to Abraham, and his lost years at Haran with his parents. I am not an egotist, or what might be called "neurotypical" to make this fantastic claim. God through the angels of God, chose certain people to represent humanity so that by their example all may be lead to God. I have been reborn, and there is nothing anyone of us can do to change it.

If I could, I would change my life. How many have heard some one say: "If I had to do it over again, I would not change a thing," ? Usually a movie star says that, or a rock star. Maybe that is why so many of them are on drugs? Certainly there must be at least one thing they would change. Maybe remove a mole from their neck, or chin. There has got to be something. As far as myself goes I would change so many things you would never see any similarity at all when I was finished. In fact, even Jesus could not recognize me, and I would not get beat up by invisible people anymore. (When you have your own web site you can write all the unnecessary information you want. Who cares if you look like a fool. Most people think the other person is a fool anyway. ) I am sort of like Jonah in the story of "Jonah, and the Whale." My name in the previous life when called Peter by Jesus, was also Simon Bar Jonah. Bar Jonah means "son of Jonah," and the apple does not fall far from the tree. That may not even be my real name either, the reborn Paul says it was not, but was used to present more symbolism showing more of my character. Next they will tell me I never caught a fish in my life, imagine that.

If one is not familiar with the story of "Jonah, and the whale," here is a quick review. God asked Jonah to preach to the great city of Nineveh that they would be destroyed, but Jonah thought if he did as God asked, then they would repent, and God would lay off their destruction making Jonah look like a fool because they were not destroyed as he prophesied. So Jonah left town as soon as he could. He got in a boat to get as far away as possible; had the misfortune of being swallowed by a whale, and he was then spit up when he repented for his cowardice. He returned, and walked all through Nineveh saying they would be destroyed, but they did as Jonah said they would, and God swore off his destruction for another 100 years. That meant that basically Jonah would never live long enough to say: "I told you so," or for those that survived to show their respect that he was a true man of God. He knew they would always have their doubts about him.

So after many years of Jonah feeling like a fool, he finally found rest in his grave. I made that last sentence up, about the last years of his life, because its the human thing to do, that is, to imagine what he must have felt like for the next thirty years. You won't find anything like that sentence in the Bible, but if I become the next Pope, I will rewrite the entire Bible because I am infallible, and I will say I am correcting copy errors. Wouldn't most agree that Jonah would change his life if he could. I know I would.
