"...Then comes THE PASSOVER, when the sun PASSED OVER the equator. This is the time of EASTER, when the sun is at his EASTERN node, and this CROSSING of the equator is symbolized by the CROSSIFICATION OR CRUCIFIXION, so called, of the Savior;..."

Max calls it a "so called" crucifixion. This idea slips right past almost every reader, simply because they have been brainwashed to believe that Jesus was really crucified. They think that these little hints can be reconciled by saying Max is referring to the sun, and its so called crucifixion as it travels across the equator.

So far Max has not said Jesus was crucified. We look at two other examples, and then we will look at where Max says Jesus was Crucified. I  have included my own comments below by using the double parenthesis(( )).

 WHAT IS THE ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE TWO THIEVES AND THE CROSS?

ANSWER: Contrary to the ordinarily accepted opinion, the four Gospels are not at all the biography of jesus, the Christ; they are Formulae of initiation of four different Mystery Schools, and in order to veil their esoteric meaning, the life and ministry of the Christ is also intermingled.

That could be easily done as all initiates, being cosmic characters, have similar experiences. It is truly said that unto the multitude the Christ spoke in parables, but the hidden meaning was given to His disciples in private. Paul also gave the milk to the weak and the meat to the strong ones. It was never intended at any time to give the hidden symbols to ordinary people, or to make the Bible "an open book of God," as people nowadays believe.

When reading in the memory of nature, we find that at the time of the crucifixion, there were not only two, but a number, who were crucified. The people of that time meted out capital punishment for the slightest offenses and there were always plenty to suffer these barbarous deaths. Thus, those who wanted to veil the hidden meaning of the gospels were at no loss to find something wherewith to fill out the tale and obscure the points which are really vital in the crucifixion. The part of the story relating to the thieves is, therefore, a true incident, without having anything to do with the esoteric meaning at all.

((Max did a nice job of leading the reader on to believe Jesus was crucified, but he never says he was. Max says that the two thieves were crucified, but the other aspect of the crucifixion, which relates to Jesus, he says was esoteric. Symbolism is what Max is hinting at, that Jesus passed over the cross. ))

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE CROSS? IS IT SIMPLY AN INSTRUMENT OF TORTURE

AS USUALLY TAUGHT IN THE ORTHODOX RELIGION?

ANSWER: Like all other symbols, the meanings of the cross are many.

Plato gave one of these meanings when he said, "The Worldsoul is crucified," that is to say: We have four kingdoms in the world--the mineral, the plant, the animal and the man.

The mineral kingdom ensouls all chemical substance of whatever kind, so that the cross, of whatever material it is made, is first a symbol of that kingdom. The upright lower limb of the cross is a symbol of the plant kingdom because the currents of the group spirits which give life to the plants come from the center of the earth where these group spirits are located and reach out toward the periphery of our planet and into space.

The upper limb of the cross is the symbol of man, because the life currents of the human kingdom pass downward from the sun through the vertical spine. Thus man is the inverted plant, for as the plant takes its food through the root, passing it UPWARD, so does the man take his nourishment by way of the head, passing it DOWNWARD. The plant is chaste, pure and passionless, and stretches its creative organ, the flower, chastely and unashamed TOWARD THE SUN, a thing of beauty and delight. ((Here is found the deeper reason for why I was crucified upside down.)) Man turns his passion filled generative organ TOWARD THE EARTH. Man inhales the life giving oxygen and exhales the poisonous carbon dioxide. The plant takes the poison exhaled by man, building its body therefrom, and returning to us the elixir of life, the cleansed oxygen.

Between the plant and the human kingdom stands the animal with the horizontal spine, and in the horizontal spine the life currents of the animal group spirit play as they circle around our globe. Therefore the horizontal limb of the cross is the symbol of the animal kingdom.

In esotericism the cross was never looked upon as an instrument of torture, and it was not until the sixth century that the crucified Christ was shown in pictures. Previous to that time the symbol of the Christ was a cross and a lamb resting at its foot, to convey the idea that at the time when the Christ was born the sun at the vernal equinox crossed the equator in the sign Aries, the Lamb. The symbols of the different religions have always been made in that way. At the time when the sun by precession crossed the vernal equinox in the sign Taurus, the Bull, a religion was founded in Egypt where they worshipped the Bull Apis in the same sense that we worship the Lamb of God. At a much earlier date, we hear of the Norse God Thor driving his twin goats across the sky. That was at the time when the vernal equinox was in the sign Gemini, the Twins. At the time of the birth of Christ, the vernal equinox was in about 7 degrees of Aries, the Lamb, therefore our Savior was called the Lamb of God. There was a dispute in the earlier centuries regarding the propriety of having the lamb as a symbol of our Savior. Some claimed that the vernal equinox at His birth was really in the sign Pisces, the Fishes, and that the symbol of our Savior should have been a fish. It is in memory of that dispute that the bishop's mitre still takes the form of the head of a fish.

((Again, symbolism is told time, and again.  Max says symbolism is applied to the meaning of the cross, as concerns the esoteric understanding, and in that regard it will always remain symbolic. Next, Max will begin the vulgar interpretation of the cross.  He switches gears, puts it into reverse, and says Jesus was literally crucified, and now all symbolism has vanished. So does Max also slowly vanish from view as his car backs away.

Max writes with what could be called theatrical tones, and emotions that Jesus was crucified from question 101, onward. He continues with the greatest show on earth. He appeals to the imagination churning up the emotions, his sea of delusion, to drown out the intellect. Still, he gives us a hint before the question is even printed. He calls it question 101. All introductory college classes begin with 101. By using 101 this hints at the idea that true occult esoteric work is not found taught in colleges, but must be found by our own investigations. Since currently University Religion classes teach only milk, so too is what is taught next.  Once explained, then it is very obvious, but otherwise, we have been set up for a fall over a stumbling stone, and a rock of offense. ))

COULD NOT THE MISSION OF CHRIST HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT SUCH A DRASTIC METHOD AS THE CRUCIFIXION?

ANSWER: It could, of course, have been accomplished without the specific method of crucifixion, but IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY THAT THE BLOOD SHOULD FLOW. ((Max lets you know that if you would think about this, then you would see the possibility that Jesus was not crucified.  He leaves it open for the reader.  The whipping allowed blood to flow, and the crown of thorns allowed the blood to flow. So all had been accomplished before the crucifixion in that regard. )) There are various grades of teachers and they require different conditions for the accomplishment of their task. Some teachers, like Moses and the Buddha, come to a nation and help it to a certain a point, they themselves growing thereby; and both of the teachers mentioned attained to the point in their own development where their bodies became luminous.

We hear how the face of Moses shone so that it become necessary for him to use a veil,. The Buddha become luminous at the time of his death. The Christ attained the stage of luminosity at the time of His transfiguration, and it is very significant that the most important part of His work, His (( The careful reader will see that anytime "His" is capitalized it refers to the great archangel Christ, not Jesus.  Christ can not die, because he has no physical body. Instead the Christ used the body of Jesus. So even here a hint is made, but most believed Max had made a harmless error, when instead they did not learn to read between the lines. )) suffering and death, ((Finally, Max says Christ died, and with it the esoteric symbolism dies too.)) took place after the event of the transfiguration. And while it become necessary for Moses, Elijah, Buddha and the other previous teachers to be born in a physical body and ((Max places an error here, which will confuse the reader.  My explanation here may confuse the reader too, due to being drugged, losing some of my intelligence, and therefore not being able to explain as well as I should, but at least we know to look here for a deeper reason, and study this spot until both my explanation, and Max's error are cleared up. At this area is found Moses, which relates to Egypt, which concerns the deliverance of the Jews, but that is symbolism for all the people of the earth as all are "The chosen people." The link Page 405 of the RCC gave a background on what is found here. That link on the RCC, the first work to be written by Max,  included the names found here: Moses, Elijah, Buddha, but also included nearby the name of the Archangel Michael as well.  We recall that it was Michael that caused me to discover that Jesus was not crucified, after I read the Koran.  Logically the RF works are written so I might tie those various scattered ideas together when I am born today, thereby making this one more piece of evidence in a Clear Proof. That would mean another teacher is here, who explains the Bible, and Qur'an, who is myself.

 Those who knew me before I was drugged, and before a demon was put on me, they were a bit impressed by my presence.  People use to turn around, and look at me, while I was many yards away, and I generally walk so quietly that people are frightened by my suddenly showing up, at least after the demon is upon me, then that other reaction happens.  I could go on, and on, but it can be said that at one time I would make people think I was like a type of Moses, or some other prophet.   

Boolean logic tells us that the "and" here, which began this explanation, see just before the start of this ((  )) above, leads to a contradiction.  Also, the final sermon of Mohammed includes "and" where if Boolean logic is not used then it appears that no prophets will ever appear again, and that only the Qur'an is the true book to follow.  The members of the RF today act in a manner like Muslims, but the RF members believe that I could not be the reborn Peter, since I bring up Islam, and also state that Jesus was not crucified, and also praise Eastern meditative practices.))  will not need again to take upon Himself such an instrument. ((It appears that Moses, and Buddha are now like Christ, due to the "and" where before they were not, who need not take on future bodies, but that is nonsense for Moses, and Buddha. They can reincarnate if they desire.  Other readers may reconcile the error differently, but the end result is that one must clear up the error on their own. )) For when the spirit leaves the body in the natural way it takes along certain impurities as it slowly withdraws from the congealing blood. Even in such a pure body as the body of Jesus, there were impurities, and the violent death (( Max again says Jesus died, contrary to the Koran, and contrary to his own esoteric teachings that lead up to question 101. )) which caused the blood to run, and liberated the Ego of Christ from the blood with a quick wrench, ((Very theatrical, concerning that initiates leave their body, and return, and do not need to die to do so, nor leave with a quick wrench. The following link is beneficial for greenhorns )) leaving behind whatever impurity there may have been, so that the Christ emerged from the body of Jesus unsullied and without the time of destiny usually attendant on life in the dense body. ((I hope all are ready to cry "Encore, Encore." Just take a moment to think about this. Jesus actually let poor Simon be crucified, so that Jesus could pass over the cross, thereby continuing the esoteric symbolism. Is this all really necessary just to uphold symbolism? Yes, as it includes entertainment, which is part of the complex subject of Truth.  Look at me, how else can Isaiah 63 take place, unless some really corny stuff takes place.  If it is hard to imagine being nailed to a cross, and dying all the while looking like someone else, imagine how I feel.  I would rather go the quick six hour torture, because as I bled, much of the pain would go away, and I would pass in, and out of consciousness, until finally it was over.  I would wiggle around up there, to make sure my wounds stayed open.  No doubt they tie one down so they can't get it over fast, like I would try to do, but I would find a way around it.  I pass out from great pain easily, and I am sure the first time a nail was driven through my wrist I would pass out.  Next thing I would know I would come to consciousness again, and then be looking down from being nailed to a cross.  A very simple death for someone like me.  Others may try to endure it like a man, but I could care less. ))

On the same principle it is a fact that although at the present time we have wars that are to be regretted from the mere human standpoint, it is nevertheless a fact which is patent to the occultist that these wars have cleansed the blood of the race considerably, so that gradually humanity is becoming less and less passionate and more and more spiritual. (( So President Bush is actually doing the right thing. What Democrat would ever have thought? )) Also we may say that in this fact lies the redeeming feature of the slaughter of animals. When humanity went through the animal stage it had no red passion filled blood as our animals have; we were not as highly evolved. The animals of today, though behind us in evolution, are on a higher spiral and while we now are suffering under the law of consequence because of having to overcome our passions in our own strength, the animals are being helped and held in check by their group spirits. And when they reach the human stage in the Jupiter Period, they will be a higher humanity, free from the passions which have made this world such a sorrowful place. thus nature always transmutes whatever evil we may commit into a higher good.

Answering the question, we may therefore say that in the case of Christ the violent death was necessary because it enabled the Christ Spirit to withdraw from the body of Jesus without retaining any of the impurities attached to that merely human vehicle. (( Whatever you say Max.  People love hearing that what their parents taught them was the truth.   A person lies, and all are ready to climb aboard if it honors their parents.  However, if a person tells the truth, then that person is laughed at, or ignored, or told he is insane, or worse, if what is said dishonors the parents making them look like fools.  ))
