The Comforter (Holy Breath)

 

" And Jesus spoke again unto the eleven and said,

" Grieve not because I go away for it is best that I should go away.

If I do not go away the Comforter will not come to you.

These things I speak while with you in the flesh,

But when the Holy Breath shall come in power, lo,

She will teach you more and more,

And bring to you remembrance all the words I have said to you.

There are a multitude of things yet to be said;

Things that this age cannot receive because it cannot comprehend.

But, lo, I say, Before the great day of the Lord shall come,

The Holy Breath will make all mysteries known —

The mysteries of the soul, of life, of death, of immortality,

The oneness of man with every other man, and with his God.

Then will the world be led to truth, and man will be truth.

When She has come, the Comforter, She will convince the world of sin,

And of truth of what I speak, and of the rightness of the Judgment

of the just;

And then the prince of carnal life will be cast out.

And when the Comforter shall come, I need not intercede for you;

For you shall stand approved, and God will know you then as he knows

Me. "

 

Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ 162:4-11

(The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ,

ch. 162: 4-11, by Levi, M. D. Rey: DeVorss & Co., 1988.)

 

 

---------------

 

" The Holy Spirit of Wisdom has frequently changed its gender. It has

been suggested that, because of the change in language and culture

within the early Church, `this feminine aspect (ruach) to the

inauguration of Jesus is neutered to pneuma in Hellenistic Christian

communities and eventually masculanized to spiritus in the Latin

church.' This led to a shift from feminine to masculine

metaphors. As Jung has remarked: `the Holy Ghost is not subject

to any control.' but blows where it will, like the wind. "

 

C. Matthews, Sophia: Goddess of Wisdom, Aquarian Press, 1992, p. 135.

 

 

To justify the feminine interpretation of the Comforter the

Dictionary of the Bible will be examined.

 

" It states that the Fourth Gospel does not narrate Jesus' baptism

but explains its significance. Since the Holy Spirit descended and

remained on Him, He is singled out as the Son of God who will

baptize with the Holy Spirit (John 1:32-34.) His teachings direct to

rebirth through the Spirit where a new state of being is attained by

the grace of the Spirit — this is the only way of entering the

Kingdom of the Spirit. Water is associated with the Spirit (John 3:5-

8; cf 1:13.) However, this salvation of humankind through rebirth

can only take place after His death and exaltation (cf 3:14.)

Therefore this promise of the coming Spirit points to the

future: " Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed

in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given

[or, Spirit was not yet], because Jesus was not yet glorified "

(7:39.) The discourses following Last Supper hold the key to the

narration of the Spirit. It is referred to as the " paraclete "

(Counselor) or " advocate " , " intercessor " or more appropriately the

Spirit of paraclesis . . . With these terms and the use of

masculine instead of neuter pronouns, the concept of the Spirit

attains a more personal nature than at any other point in the Bible. "

 

Dictionary of the Bible, C. S. Sons, 1963, p. 393.

 

 

Had the Truth pertaining to the 'gender' of the Holy Spirit of

Christianity been cross-examined against other scriptures — Adi

Shakti of Hinduism, Prajnaparamita of Buddhism, Eykaa Mayee of

Sikhism, Ruh of Islam, and the Shekinah of Judaism which are all

feminine in nature — then we may have come across text that

proclaim as follows:

 

" The Paraclete is to be sent by God the Father in response to the

prayer of Christ (14:16), by Christ Himself (16:7), by the Father in

Christ's name (14:26), or by Christ from the Father (15:26.) She

is to represent and mediate the glorified Christ to Her followers;

She is to be the medium through whom they will enter into a full

understanding of the historic revelation in the incarnate Christ,

teaching and instructing them and through them witnessing to the

world concerning Christ and the salvation and judgement which She

has brought. As the Spirit of Christ, who is Himself the truth

(14:6), She is the Spirit of truth (14:17, 15:26, 16:13) guiding

Christ's disciples into all the truth as She unfolds the meaning

of the revelation of God in Christ's deeds and words. She will

mediate Christ's presence to them (cf 14:18), bringing to their

remembrance and instructing them in the full significance of the

things which Jesus had said to them (14:26.) She will bear witness

to Jesus, declaring to the disciples the meaning of His words and

acts (16:12-15) in a way which was impossible during the earthly

ministry, and through their mission, especially under persecution,

testify to the hostile world (15:26 -16:4.) This mission of the

Paraclete, like that of Jesus Himself, is two-sided; for to the

world which has rejected Christ it brings judgement. She will

convict the world in respect of the sin of its unbeliever, in

respect of the vindication of Jesus in His exaltation to the Father,

and in respect of the condemnation of the devil through His death

and glorification (16:8-11.) "

Scribner's Sons, 1963.

" The prophetic texts that directly concern the sending of the Holy

Spirit are oracles by which God speaks to the heart of his people in

the language of the promise . . . According to these promises, at

the " end time " the Lord's Spirit will renew the hearts of men,

engraving a new law in them. She will gather and reconcile the

scattered and divided peoples; She will transform the first

creation, and God will dwell there with men in peace. "

 

J. C. Ratzinger, Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994, p. 189.

" Jesus does not reveal the Holy Spirit fully, until he himself has

been glorified through his Death and Resurrection . . . Only when

the hour has arrived for his glorification does Jesus promise the

coming of the Holy Spirit, since his Death and Resurrection will

fulfill the promise made to the fathers. The Spirit of truth, the

other Paraclete, will be given by the Father in answer to Jesus'

prayer; She will be sent by the Father in Jesus' name; and Jesus

will send (Her) from the Father's side, since he comes from the

Father. The Holy Spirit will come and we shall know Her; She will be

with us for ever; She will remain with us. The Spirit will teach us

everything, remind us of all that Christ said to us and bear witness

to him. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth and will glorify

Christ. She will prove the world wrong about sin, righteousness, and

judgement. "

The Bible contains little of what Shri Jesus preached:

 

1) How is it possible that only 3 ½ years of His adult life is

recorded?

 

2) Why is that all that He spoke in 3 ½ years hardly amounts to an

hour or so of actual speech in the Bible?

 

3) Why does recent archeological discoveries such as the Nag Hammadi

and The Dead Sea Scrolls reveal esoteric truths spoken by Shri Jesus

that are somehow missing from the Bible?

 

4) Why is the Message of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi related to the

Lord Jesus Christ's esoteric Kingdom of God?

 

Shri Jesus promised humankind that He will send the Comforter who

will explain all that was taught by Him. In order to do that He had

to send someone divine, and backed by irrefutable proof for all

humankind to examine.

 

Shri Mataji, who took Her birth in a Christian family, directs all

humans to find Jesus' mystical Kingdom of God within. Her Knowledge

is that of the Spirit within and how to attain it. The essence of

Her Message is exactly that of Shri Christ: Seek the sanctuary of

the Kingdom of God within for " without are dogs, and sorcerers, and

whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever love and

makes a lie. "

 

Since opening the Sahasrara Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 has

worked tirelessly preaching the Message of Jesus to all — Hindus,

Muslims, Jews, Buddhist, Taoist, Christians, Sikhs. For the last

three decades She has:

 

1. glorified Jesus to all humans, irrespective of race, religion or

creed — " will glorify me " (John 16.14).

 

2. borne witness that Shri Jesus must be accepted and there is no

salvation without Him — " will bear witness to me " (John 15.26).

 

3. has warned that He will be incarnating as Shri Kalki during the

second Coming — " will convince the world concerning sin because

they do not believe in me " (John 16. 8-9).

 

4. has enlightened the seekers of the deep esoteric parables of

Jesus and the mystic Kingdom of God — " will take what is mine and

declare it to you " (John 16.14).

 

5. has awakened humanity to the true teachings of Jesus, teachings

that are still beyond their present comprehension — " will bring

to your remembrance all that I have said to you " (John 14.26).

 

Shri Jesus Christ promised that He would ask God Almighty to send a

future Comforter whose primary duty would be to " make all mysteries

known — The mysteries of the soul, of life, of death, of

immortality, the oneness of man with every other man, and with his

God. " That is precisely what Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has done. Shri

Adi Shakti: The Kingdom Of God records overwhelming, unassailable

evidence for the human race that She is that Comforter sent to

explain all mysteries, and lead the believers during the

Resurrection — " before the great day of the Lord shall come "
