13 into their power, one of them who is their guard will say to you, ‘Who are you or where are you from?’ You are to say to him, ‘I am a son,
and I am from the Father.’ He will say to you, ‘What sort of son are you, and to what father do you belong?’ You are to say to him, ‘I am from
the Pre-existent Father, and a son in the Pre-existent One.’
Jesus continued, “When he also says to you, ‘Where will you go?’, you are to say to him, ‘To the place from which I have come, there shall I
return.’ And if you say these things, you will escape their attacks.”17
And from the Gospel of Thomas we have the following on the same theme: Jesus said, “If they say to you, ‘Where did you come from?’, say to them,
‘We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their
image.’ If they say to you, ‘Is it you?’, say, ‘We are its children, and we are the elect of the living father.’ If they ask you, ‘What is
the sign of your father in you?’, say to them, ‘It is movement and repose.’”18
Symbolically, this can be equally interpreted as referring to a warning to people on both a physical and the energy plane of the afterlife.
Further references to the existence of these imbalanced thought-form energies appears in Exegesis on The Soul, with Paul, writing to the Corinthians
(1 Co 5:9-10), ‘…For our struggle is not against flesh and blood – as he said (Ep 6:12) – but against the world rulers of darkness and the
spirits of wickedness.’19
Here we have reference to the ‘thought-form’ energies, the false gods and their false angels and in particular, to the spirits of wickedness –
lost souls - the so called ‘spirit guides’ for the despicable spirit and its realm of darkness. This is the illusory afterlife, better known as
purgatory, hell or the underworld. This becomes more clear when we look at the Apocalypse Of Paul.
In the Apocalypse Of Paul, we have a story which is very similar to my own inner journey. This is the story of Paul’s visionary journey into the
afterlife. Paul begins his journey while the Holy Spirit is speaking to him as he passed through the first three heavens and when he reached the
fourth heaven the Holy Spirit spoke with him and said, ‘Look and see your likeness upon the earth.’ In the fourth heaven Paul saw ‘according to
class’ ‘angels resembling gods’ and they were bringing a soul ‘out of the land of the dead. And they placed it at the gates of the fourth
heaven. And the angels where whipping it.’20 No unconditional love or light here it would appear.
What passes is that the soul appears to have no choice in this matter; it is the decision of the toll-collector who dwells in this place. Witnesses
are brought forward as in a court of law and the soul is ‘cast down into a body which had been prepared for it.’
Paul’s journey continued and in the fifth heaven he saw a great angel ‘holding an iron rod in his hand’ and there were three other angels with
him and ‘they were rivalling each other, with whips in their hands, goading the souls on to the judgement.’ 20 No light here either it would
appear.
Paul’s journey continues through the sixth heaven and into the seventh where he has to assert his will that he is returning ‘to the place from
which I came.’ He carried on up and through the Ogdoad and through the ninth heaven, and eventually ‘went up to the tenth heaven’ where he
greeted his fellow spirits. 20
For me this is very symbolic of moving through the limiting vibrations of 1-9 of the physical and astral dimensions - the domain of the illusion and
its false light - and eventually finding the 10th heaven, the vibration of 10, our home from where we came, the realm of the Spirit and the Light that
we all are, which we discussed in Chapter Two. Here we have the vibrations of one to ten (1-10), which corresponds with the ten colours, red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, purple (indigo), violet, magenta, gold and finally the transcending colour White, which corresponds with the Ten Major Chakras of
the human body, and which we now know also corresponds with the ten heavens of the afterlife, with the tenth heaven, the true spirit world,
corresponding to the colour white and the vibration of ten, a.k.a. the Assemblage Point in the heart chakra.
Once again, this message can apply equally to both the physical reality and the afterlife.
