Above The Clouds
Before I share this important story, I want to say that I have no particular agenda in telling it. I have no personal feelings about the information I was given, nor do I have any grievance, whatsoever, with Christianity, per se.
I would also like to to state that I honestly feel that the current administration of the Roman Catholic Church is basically unaware of their own ancient roots. And, of what they are briefed upon in modern times, is more towards clerical matters. I would like to think that their own history has been lost in paperwork, governmental issues, and a smattering of well-intended ministries that are, in the greatest sense of the word, benevolent in nature.
Additionally, I would also like to tell you more about myself, as I feel it is important at this time, considering the impact the following account may have on certain individuals who may feel uncomfortable with this story.
I would probably describe myself best as a no-nonsense person, with a sense of humor. I have been handed an ominous amount of information as a Mystic, in which I have merely scratched the surface in sharing with my readers. Perhaps it was to protect myself from religious interrogation. Or, perhaps it was to be as gentle as possible with those whose faith was reliant on the very matters that I have been given minute details of within my eight years of training. I have attempted, to the very best of my ability, to give my accounts with respect to those who may be offended by my information. And, in many cases, I have simply left certain facts out, so that the reader may feel comforted by their own traditional viewpoints, which still remain somewhere in their hearts. But, the truth remains. That is, the truth of the following account which I have considered to be one of most sobering pieces of information I have ever been given.
I wrote an article about my teacher a few weeks ago. I’m not sure if my intention was understood, but I did try my best to give you a clear image of who has both trained me, and remained by my side to this day. It is my teacher who has requested that I share this story at this time:
David, my husband, had been reading a new book that was published several years ago. It claimed to be the actual transcript of the Gospel of Judas. He was quite intrigued with it, and asked my teacher, Gabriel, if it was true.
Gabriel responded that although he couldn’t comment on particular facts within the text, he did want to speak to David about something more important than the information that it held:
“I will say that this Gospel that you read, and all the others that have been written, were written in reverse order. Meaning, the ending of each, is actually the beginning. The story of Christ was written backwards.
The crucifixion should be at the beginning, not at the end.
“Crucifixion” was a rite of a Mystery School. This particular Mystery School, named after Horus, ended in a symbolic death of the initiate. There was no cross. No literal loss of life. It was simply a symbolic death to the old way, as the initiate gives their life to a new way. After which, they begin their particular ministry, or journey, as you may say. All of these accounts would be following the crucifixion rite, not preceding them.”
The conversation was brief, but I remember it well. David was not surprised, at all, by this information. Interestingly, he knew this already. I suppose, therefore, that Gabriel simply mentioned this to him for my sake. I’m the one who needed to hear this. Again. Gabriel had told me this more than once, and I had much difficulty accepting it. And, if it had not been for what happened immediately after Gabriel left, I would probably be struggling with it to this day.
David turned around quickly, reaching for something behind him, and accidentally bumped into my old crucifix hanging on the wall. I had kept that crucifix for many years, and had bought it when I converted to Catholicism several years earlier. I don’t remember where I bought it, but it seemed appropriate to have one, at that time.
When he picked it up, he noticed something that I had never seen before. He brought it over to me, so that I could confirm, as a Mystic, the information I was just given by Gabriel:
Very clearly, engraved in the ribcage of Jesus Christ, was the symbol of the Eye of Horus.

After a quick internet search for the Eye of Horus and ancient Egyptian history of which I know very little, I found striking similarities in story of Jesus and Horus. Based on Gabriel’s instruction regarding the symbol of the Eye of Horus, do you believe that Jesus was Horus reincarnated? I do believe Jesus has had a greater impact after his crucifixion and can easily comprehend that his work as love incarnate began after his natural death.
June 22, 2009 at 10:34 pm
No, not a reincarnation. The story that was written made it look that way.
June 23, 2009 at 12:12 am
More: Your comments concerning reincarnation, remind me of the traditional view that spirits reincarnate. If so, how can someone be a reincarnation of, let’s say, Cleopatra, when someone else is (with validity) channeling Cleopatra?
Spirits don’t reincarnate. Many choose not to accept this, because of tradition. It is often their “ego” which rejects this fact. Many “wish” that they had lived many lives.
They didn’t.
Their souls, on the other hand, have.
For separation of the soul and spirit, look at the teachings of the Kabbalah.
Once again, you and I don’t reincarnate. Our souls, aka our “hard drives” do.
Consider yourself to be a program on a computer. Consider your soul to be the hard drive. Hard drives can be moved from computer to computer.
Spirits, computer programs, are licensed. Only to be used once.
There is also universal law forbidding a spirit to take another body on this planet. In these rare cases, it is considered “possession.”
Each new spirit that is created by the soul (hard drive) has a right to sole occupancy. When the body dies, that spirit must leave, and is not allowed to return and take possession of someone else’s rightful body.
I am well-aware of traditional (New Age) views on this subject.

Teresa, thank you for posting this. There is so much about Jesus and what he taught that has been twisted or covered up or simply ignored. Like you I have been hesitant to say very much yet I have a deep conviction that I should loosen up. Lately my guide has really been after me to do so.
June 23, 2009 at 12:17 am
Interesting about your guide, Louis. I wonder if other mystics are being given the same directives lately.
June 23, 2009 at 1:30 am
I’ve never heard this concept before but it seems plausible to me. It gives me a lot to think about. I think it’s a great time to share knowledge and perspective. So many are searching high and low for answers that ring true and shed light on the human condition. We’re here and we’re listening. Thank you.
June 23, 2009 at 1:41 am
Sometimes, even the truth doesn’t “ring” true if there are pre-conceived notions, egos and pride to contend with. This is one reason why I avoid certain topics.
June 23, 2009 at 3:14 am
Sometimes the verbal attacks brought on by dealing with those “certain topics” can be brutal.
BTW, did you know Jesus was trained in the theory and practice of Ritual Magic? I’ve seen very old paintings of him holding a magic wand.
June 23, 2009 at 5:54 am
I don’t know about the paintings. Interesting..
June 23, 2009 at 7:53 am
I hear this kind of thing all the time and it is in my opinion BS. Why is it so hard for people to simply understand that God loved us and sent His Son to die the death that we deserved in our place.
If my child breaks a window, restitution must be made. As a father I dont want my child to suffer the consequences of that action so I in turn pay the price that my child can not afford. Jesus paid the price that humanity could not afford.
That simplicity is unfortunitely twisted again and again.
How hard is it to understand that God simply loves us, without all of the so called mysticism.
June 23, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Greg,
I understand your viewpoint more than you may know. I was trained to believe the same as you, for probably even longer.
But to answer your question: How hard is it to understand that God simply loves us,
I don’t think it’s difficult at all. But, my question, in return:
Why do we need imagery of slaughtered men with gaping wounds hanging from altars in order to shock people into accepting God?
Isn’t this a bit barbaric? Drinking the blood and eating the flesh of that tortured man, in order to feel penance?
You should feel penance. Not that he gave his life, but that you continually torture him, and his story.
It was also difficult for men to believe that the earth was round and that airplanes would fly.
But, both are true.
If you use logic, and remove your need for bloodshed in order to have faith, you could accept the truth about Jesus (historically) and keep your faith – at the same time.
In the meantime, that crucifix, needs to come down…
June 23, 2009 at 2:29 pm
And, for the record, Jesus was the highest level Mystic in the world, at that time. So, I wouldn’t be disrespectful to that fact, according to your faith.
June 23, 2009 at 3:11 pm
In reading the comments I have a thought. We all honor Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy for their deeds and actions. But we do not, in honor of their deeds, give monuments to them in their death poses, such as with bullet wounds or on their death beds or in a morgue. Why then, when these are only men who have served a nation, get more dignity than the one who serve all of the people of the world. Just a thought, take down the crucifix and replace it with something that dignifies the deeds.
June 23, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Excellent point, David
June 23, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Like I said, once again, the crucifix needs to come down. It’s barbaric. Maybe not for primitive times, or the Dark Ages. For 2009, it represents carnage. Are we not more civilized now?
Apparently not.
June 23, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Jesus may be the highest level Mystic of all time or at least very close to it. Once he acquired the Universal Christ Consciousness his spiritual knowledge was without bounds. He said we could all have what he had and even more.
June 23, 2009 at 3:24 pm
But, Louis…do you agree that the crucifix is inappropriate for current times? Whether or not the actual story is true?
June 23, 2009 at 3:39 pm
The implications are staggering: I just imagined 2000 years of deception – the guilt and sorrow I feel when I imagine the torture He went through on the cross. The distortions and disconnects regarding the equality of women and the biggest conspiracy to control the masses I could ever conceive of – whoa.
June 23, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Thanks, Beth. Just another reason to take it down.
June 23, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Teresa, killing another is not condoned by God in the past, present, or future. The crucifix only shows the barbaric nature of mankind and that is certainly not something to be venerated.
June 23, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Needs to be taken down.
2009.
If there was a house in your neighborhood, where the people are made to bow to a tortured image, eating flesh and drinking blood, the police would, no doubt, intervene.
June 23, 2009 at 4:03 pm
If anyone agrees with me, please support me in this opinion? Unless, of course, you think that this type of activity is appropriate.
June 23, 2009 at 4:07 pm
I agree. It needs to be taken down.
Worshiping a tortured individual turns my stomach not to mention the consumption of flesh and blood. The concept is barbaric.
June 23, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Thank you. Anyone else?
How can we, as a world, even slightly consider that we have evolved, if we are still holding this type of imagery as “holy”?
Torture.
June 23, 2009 at 4:24 pm
We might as well be living in the middle ages. Oh, but now we have laws against that sort of behavior. Why is this allowed? And, why is it still accepted? Because the Church promotes it? They are also the ones that have slaughtered thousands of innocent individuals in the name of God. Isn’t enough enough?
June 23, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Yes. Enough is enough.
Take it down.
June 23, 2009 at 4:41 pm
At this point in my personal investigation, the crucifix appears to be a symbol that is used to invoke guilt. Once you can induce guilt, you can control people. You can tell them that they are evil, have brought it all on themselves, and will never get any better. You can keep them dependent and subservient. You can keep them from growing spiritually by dismissing all their impertinent heathen questions. You can certainly get more money from them to continue your campaign.
I’m with you Teresa – as usual. I say take it down.
June 23, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Thank you, Beth.
In the name of civility. In the name of humanity.
I ask, as a citizen of the human race, take it down.
June 23, 2009 at 7:31 pm
I agree. Take it down.
June 24, 2009 at 12:11 am
Teresa,
I agree but you know and I know they aren’t going to take it down.
June 24, 2009 at 12:17 am
I’m confused not by the subject or the content of Above the Clouds, but by the underlying tone. As a Mystic, you do not need to apologize, make excuses or defend any of your experiences and yet, I felt that was what you were doing for most of the post. Readers can only take what you say and filter it through their own experience to find their own truth. They will either believe or not believe what you have said. It is what it is.
June 24, 2009 at 12:41 am
I understand what you are saying, Pat. For the most part, I am apologizing, it’s true.
People don’t apologize for their opinions. There is no need. When a doctor, for example, thinks you might have a rare disease, but isn’t sure, he/she doesn’t feel the need to apologize for their opinion.
But, when that doctor is certain, because all of the test results come back positive, he/she would apologize for having to tell you this news – if they have any sensitivity, towards you – as a patient.
Therefore, it is true. I am apologizing.
I am apologizing because the story is true.
June 24, 2009 at 12:41 am
Louis, I wouldn’t be too certain that they won’t. I do believe they will.
June 24, 2009 at 1:40 am
Only when the Divine Feminine fully returns.
June 24, 2009 at 3:17 am
If that takes a shred of cooperation among women, then I’d have to agree with you about things never changing.
Generally speaking:
Men will support men.
Women will support men.
Men will support women.
But, women won’t support women.
