- Part V -

• The nature of the Soul and essence of New Covenant teachings (off-spring of God). Faith and belief  - building our lives in accordance with New Covenant values and teachings. Manifesting our genuine self - understanding and embracing spiritual reality, over cultural, racial, gender, philosophical, and religious conditions. The common brotherhood of man ("Offspring of God") - turning the other cheek, doing unto others as we would have done to us, forgiving our enemies - moving into harmony with our Soul

• Biblical lifestyle requirements (original seekers viewed as first-century extremists). The association between our physical self and Soul-Self. The purpose of the barriers and limitations of natural man.

• Corruption of Christianity and the reinterpretation of spiritual concepts

• The limitations of this realm (instead of seeking to open his mind to spiritual reality, carnal man creates and adopts beliefs that are partial and incomplete). Overcoming the three-dimensional barrier within our own mind and being - learning to use what we perceive outwardly, in order to learn more about our own inward reality. The outer reflective realm/inner positive - and the Third Force of expanding consciousness

• Living Truth in word, thought, and deed. Picking up our Cross. The more we live Truth, the more we become Truth. The destiny of man is to possess Ultimate Truth - the Parable of the Prodigal Son - man's Journey to Completion. Ridding one's self of manmade doctrines of belief and seeking the inner Source. Examining the source of our beliefs.

• A history of the the rejection of Scriptural Truths (Matthew 5:48, Eccl. 1:9). Why does carnal man reject knowledge? Religious groups (self-acclaimed ‘saved’ & ‘chosen of God’) - the interpretation of Spiritual Truths from the perception of natural man. The condemnation of the Prophets.

• The Essenes and Jesus. The Essenes were the only group not condemned in the Scriptures - more importantly, the Essenes were condemned by the carnal Jews and later Gentile church. Why did Jesus condemn the Sadducees and Pharisees? (outward observance of Scripture)

• Rom. 3:23 - "sin," ignorance, and darkness are all brought about by man's disconnection from his Spiritual essence. Transformation of Self. “Go and Sin No More” – confronting the root of limitations, moving in the direction of wholeness, and living every aspect of our lives to its highest ideal.
