Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Dear Jagbir and All, i would just like to draw attention to the fact that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the Christian Comforter, said that: " It is the Shakti itself [that] took the form of a snake and went and told them that, You must have the fruit of knowledge. She wanted to evolve them. " (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Navaratri Puja Synopsis -Cabella Ligure, Italy - 27 September 1992) In that case, the whole Judeo-Christian premise of Original Sin beginning in the Garden of Eden, because the snake was able to tempt Eve, who in turn, tempted Adam, to eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, is a wrong understanding! According to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the Shakti came, and wanted Adam and Eve to evolve, to become the Spirit! Shri Mataji has also told us, that we do not get " born in sin " as Christian theology tells us, but that we need to raise ourselves from our 'animal nature' (our lower self) to our spiritual nature (our higher self) which is the Spirit! So this process then started in the Garden of Eden, when the Shakti, appeared in the form of a snake, in order to evolve Adam and Eve! Therefore, the snake's appearance was a good thing, and not a bad thing. If the snake (Shakti) had not appeared at that time, we would not be able to have our realisation today, because we would not have started on the pathway to our spiritual ascent! If She had not appeared to evolve us, we would not even be able to discriminate between good and evil. We would be just like the animals, that is 'pashu', under God's guidance. Our free will evolved, when the Shakti came, and we had to learn to discriminate between good and evil. Free will is given to evolve and have our self realisation in the end. That is the goal of spiritual evolution, that started in the garden of Eden! i don't know how Christian doctrine so confused the symbolic snake with evil. Most do not realise that when Moses raised the rod in the wilderness and it turned into a snake that saved them, that this is also an Eastern symbol of 'serpent power', which is the power of the Kundalini to save. The power of the Kundalini is the power of the Holy Spirit, also called " Adi Shakti " {Primordial Power) by the Hindus. Therefore, i think it is time for Christians to re-examine this false Christian doctrine, in the light of the truth that has been revealed by the Christian Comforter. Their scriptures will make a lot more sense, when they do! violet " So the same power, " the Paramchaitanya " has now been awakened, which is doing marvellous work to convince you about the truth. Human beings have been given freedom. You'll be amazed that the freedom was given to Adam and Eve, but how this was achieved, we should understand! In the Gnostic Bible, it has come out, what I have been saying [which is that] Adam and Eve were both like pashus under the complete control of God - no free will. They would have lived in the nude in the Garden of Eden [and] would not even have thought of knowing anything, but what to eat, living like [the] animals. It is the Shakti itself [that] took the form of a snake and went and told them that, You must have the fruit of knowledge. She wanted to evolve them. That was not the idea of God Almighty. It's quite a headache, you know, to do such a thing, but [the] Shakti knew that She is capable of lots of miracles and [that] She can make these human being beings understand the knowledge. So She said, You must eat this fruit and you must try to know the knowledge. So a new type of human race started, which wanted to know the knowledge. Before that She created other higher creations [such as] Brahma, Vishnu [and] Mahesha and She created their lokas [which means] their atmospheres or areas. In that, all the planning was done to make these animals into human beings and then [into] realised souls! Many other divine creations and happenings took place, and They chose to work it out in human beings.
