“Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to hell” – Matthew 7:13-14.

Many are familiar, I am sure, with the above scripture. But, practically speaking, where exactly does this instructional verse lead, and for what spiritual benefit?

Let us now put some spiritual meat on this skeletal sentence and see what esoteric nourishment can be drawn from it, as opposed to literal interpretation. Let’s find out how this particular scripture, when applied wholeheartedly, can change our lives to know deep happiness, love, bliss, and inner peace.

Activation of latent media

The truth is that each of us is internally equipped for spiritual awakening. But until we consciously connect with this inner faculty, then the scriptures will remain solely at their intellectual value. In other words, literal reading is not enough. It does not trigger the latent means of awakening the soul: that of directly knowing our true divine nature.

“Be still and know that I am God” – Psalm 46-10

To achieve this awakening to God, no external means are required, because no one can give us God, because, deep down, each one of us is already God’s nature: we are born with this.

Spiritually, it is time to evolve beyond soul-serving religious dogmas and outdated fear-driven belief systems into authentic reality and spiritual maturity. Time to experience the Presence of God directly, thus expressing our innate potential for miraculous awareness to benefit ourselves, others and all of creation simultaneously.

In moving beyond non-seneschal religious literalism, moving on to esoteric rather than exoteric scriptures, it is important to know that the biblical ‘church’ does not refer to a physical building, but to one’s consciousness. Similarly, the biblical term ‘Jew’ does not refer to the Jewish nation or its people, in the present or in history. The term ‘Jew’ refers biblically to being ‘inwardly’, someone who looks for God within. Thus, the words at the top of the Crucifixion cross read: “Hail, King of the Jews,” which means, praise (awakening) be to the inward-turned soul seeking its own Christ (or any other). title that our culture, tradition has for this divine standard) within. The crown of thorns symbolizes victory in this ‘inner’ process.

Each of us is programmed to be ‘inside’: each of us is encoded as a truth seeker, a soul on a spiritual journey finding our way back to Source AS conscious awareness. Therefore, the above scripture from Matthew refers to the inner spiritual awakening through the crucifixion of the lower ego through the means or mechanisms of the faculty that already exist within each of us unconditionally.

Question

What exactly does narrow and wide gate mean, where are they specifically referring to?

Answer

The narrow gate refers to becoming ‘less’ or smaller in the lower ego. Wide Gate refers to the outside world: the addictive nature of the carnal mind with the five ordinary senses of perception and its primitive animal standard. To become ‘lesser’ means to crucify the lower ego, our own carnal mind. This is the esoteric symbolism behind the image of the Crucifixion. The white garment wrapped around Jesus’ waist signifies purity.

three more questions

What practicalities are involved in entering the narrow gate: how do you ‘get in’ through it? Do we enter with our belief systems, our creeds, social status or with our banner of religious faith and high moral conscience?

answers

No, none of the above.

The narrow door, the convergence of the human intellect to ‘minimum’, occurs in the brain through vibrational meditation, which will be explained here, while the wide door works under the law of spiritual ignorance, that is, the standard of the carnal mind or lower self. here referred to as hell.

become inwardly

At their functional level, both doors present themselves as opposite mental states: negative and positive. The reason is that we must learn from our experiences in the world of the wide gate, and through that learning, suffering, or lessons, choose one gate standard over the other. Thus, having chosen heaven, chosen to be interior or narrow door, we take practical steps in that direction, as a daily spiritual practice such as Yoga or meditation, for example.

Like waking up from a bad dream, making this choice to internalize initially requires courage. The process is not really difficult, but it does require a commitment to inner awakening. In other words, we make the choice and follow it regardless of our experiences with the wide door. In this context, we remember the biblical words: “and it came to pass…”, that is, every personal situation, struggle or challenge, changes or happens. So this is our divine encouragement throughout the process of becoming ‘within’, of becoming divinely oriented.

narrowing the focus

By spinning around and living through a cocoon of false personality, this conditioning shell has resulted in the loss of spiritual identity, of our lack of spiritual, divine relationship. So, like the butterfly, in order for us to witness the miracle of inner transformation, we must now shed this cocoon to find our spiritual wings.

Shedding this cocoon is initially about NARROWING the person with the wide door: narrowing the scattered indecisive intellect: narrowing the activities of the incessant shallow thinking mind and its addiction to carnal sense-awareness only.

Similar to the tortoise retracting its limbs into its shell, narrowing mental focus is how the senses withdraw or separate from their object of attraction, the world, both mentally and emotionally. Retreating ‘in’ is the process through which all five senses undergo a spiritual reorientation: a transformation that neutralizes addictive thought patterns resulting in heightened spiritual awareness and pure present moment experience; it is also the process of harmonizing the left-right brain.

miracle of convergence

Part of the esoteric message of the crucifixion is revealed in the image where the eyes of Jesus -on the cross- converge upwards. Narrowing or converging mental focus replicates the personal crucifixion of the lower self: demolishing the temple of the false person, the structure of the carnal mind, when a New temple consciousness will arise.

The daily ‘convergence’ facilitates the brain-nervous system adaptation, of managing two states of consciousness simultaneously: time and space with eternal consciousness. Before this ability, the brain-nervous system functioned only in a mono or single state of consciousness, which is known as spiritual ignorance. Through the permanent establishment of transcendental consciousness, miraculous consciousness becomes our ever-present level of divine consciousness; where resolute intellect, the capacity for elevated spiritual discernment, frees the soul from the bondage of decision-making of the rectory, from the wide and unforgiving gate, the lower carnal intellect.

Remembering that each of us comes into this world loaded only in mono consciousness. Thus, after the integration of the lower intellect, when all decision-making is recommended through divine wisdom as opposed to indecisive intellect, the brain-nervous system recalibrates from single-state cognition to facilitate time. and non-time, relative and absolute – simultaneously making Heaven on earth our Now reality.

Because there is intense bliss in contact with convergence point awareness, the nervous system needs time to acclimatize, to culture itself to resist the waves of pure bliss. Repeated ‘appointments’ (meditation) are needed for this physiological mind/body relationship to finally ‘marry’, to adjust to experiencing pure energy without the filtering influence of the conditioned lower ego. At this level of consciousness, one experiences the Divine Presence as something separate from the outside world: being in the world but not of the world.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” John 1:1

In translation: Word, Vibration or Consciousness, that is, Existence, always was-always will be.

Listening to the Word of God and the relevance of the mantram Aum

Just like the universe, at our core, we are each vibrating sound. Contact with Vibrating Aum awakens the unconscious aspect of our deeper mind leading to expanded awareness, dormant states of cosmic consciousness. This sound-like Vibration, when picked up by our deepening inner ear which acts like a sonar, stimulates the soul to reverberate directly AS God’s Vibration: Pure Consciousness revealing Itself, our Transcendent Being.

Deepening inner hearing recalibrates the brain from the market Beta brain speed of 14 to 21 cycles per second to oscillate between 1 and 3 cps: the Delta state or divine rejuvenation.

At this stage of our spiritual evolution, life is no longer lived through the rearview mirror of fear, stress, and uncertainty. We are now free to LIVE life and not exist as prisoners THROUGH one or many controlling dogmas or social mindsets. The vibratory Aum, through convergence, has freed the soul from the bondage of time and space, from the illusion created by thought into eternal freedom in God Consciousness.
