Divine Patterns in the Scriptures

Mount Zion: The Mystery of God, as formatted here, has been based on the Divine ratification of this Author as the Anointed One, with the complementary evidence of the report on the Vision of Fatima—that is, the Third Secret—all in accordance with Daniel’s prophecy (Daniel 9:24). Thus, the Divine approval of this Author has paved the way for the manifestation of the Cryptogram without the need for esoteric scientific formulae, whereas in the prior publication of this Book, the systematic disclosure of the Cryptogram was first undergirded by arcane and novel scientific data, necessitating the evidential revelation of this Author as the Chosen One.  The present format of the Book, as noted in Blog Post 7, has been designed to eliminate obscure mathematical symbols in the development of the Cryptogram, based on verifiable Divine approval of the Author, and with the aim of broadening the reach of this Book’s audience. As a result, those blog posts that came before the complete development of the Spiritual Structure (Blog Post 10) lacked full context and ought to be revisited thereafter. In the initial publication, the subject matter of “Blog Post 1” came under the current heading, and before the following subtitles.  What follows, then, would best be understood in relation to Blog Post 1.

Correlation of the Natural and Spiritual Systems

From the foregoing description of Scriptural Events culminating in the rebirth of the Holy Mountain, emerges the pattern of two sequential Systems: A Natural System, and an Eternal Spiritual One. The Natural System, founded on the law, is a phantom of the later Spiritual System, which is based on faith, and yields eternal life. From this overview of Scriptural Events, one sees how God used natural means which are easily identifiable to teach humanity about spiritual matters which are otherwise abstract; thus, the natural preceded the spiritual.

The significance of the natural Israelites descending from one ancestor is realized in the spiritual kinship of the Holy Spirit. The ancestral lineage of natural Israel symbolizes the Divine Hierarchical Structure: By his willingness to offer his son, Isaac, in sacrifice, Abraham symbolizes God the Father, who offered His Son, Jesus, for the potential salvation of humanity (Genesis 22:1-13). It is in this natural context that Abraham is referred to as the father of faith. Isaac, as the designated, willing and spotless sacrificial lamb, signifies Jesus. Indeed, Jesus testified: “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56). Jacob, in whom God’s promise to Abraham was fulfilled, symbolizes the Holy Spirit incarnate in the Consummate Elijah, whom the Scriptures prophesied would come before the Judgment Day to restore all things. As the husband of two jealous sisters (Rachel and Leah), and their maid servants (Bilhah and Zilpah), Jacob represents Elijah, the nexus that will unify the factious elements of the entire Spiritual Israel. What did the Scriptures say about Elijah?

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the world with a curse (Malachi 4:6).

Recall that of the sons of Abraham, Isaac was the son of the promise, while Ishmael was cast out. Of the sons of Isaac, Jacob was the blessed one, whereas Esau bartered away his birthright. Of the sons of Jacob, however, all were sons of the promise, indicating that it was through Jacob that God’s promise to Abraham was consummated. Thus, the Hebrews were identified more closely as a people, not with Abraham or Isaac, but with Jacob, whom the Lord renamed Israel; hence, the eponymy: Israel. As such, Israel is the prototype of the Consummate Elijah—the Perfect Incarnation of the Holy Spirit—the All-encompassing Spirit. It is noteworthy that Jacob, the sinner (that is, the deceiver), was the one through whom God’s natural promise to Abraham was fulfilled.

The twelve tribes of Israel depict the twelve major dominions of the Kingdom of Light. The enslavement of the Israelites in Egypt symbolizes the bondage of humanity to sin and death. Their liberation from slavery through Moses, signifies the salvation of humanity from sin and death through Jesus. Hence the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren . . .” (Deut. 18:18). The physical pilgrimage made by the natural Israelites to the promised land is symbolic of the spiritual pilgrimage being made by the New Israelites on the Holy Mountain. Many of the Israelites, Dathan and Abiram’s cohort, were destroyed in the desert due to pride and overconfidence in their own judgment, foreshadowing that many (pilgrims) will be lost on the Holy Mountain due to self-righteousness (Numbers 16).

That Israel portends events in the Kingdom of God was reflected by the passage which portrayed the establishment of natural Israel in terms that parallel the later development of the Apparent Structure, the Spiritual Israel:

You brought them in, and planted them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, O Lord, where you made your Dwelling; the Sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands established (Exodus 15:17).

The Babylonian exile and enslavement of the Israelites was a forerunner of the spiritual captivity of the New Israel by Rome, the New Babylon. Just as the Israelites were liberated, through Cyrus, God’s anointed, whom the Lord called by name (Isa. 45:1-4), so the Lord, who also called me by name shall deliver the New Babylonian Captives. The dispersion of the Israelites from the promised land foreshadowed the division within the Church. The restoration of the State of natural Israel foreshadows the reunification of Spiritual Israel before the Judgment Day.

These parallels between the natural System and the Spiritual One have been drawn in order to reveal the role of natural Israel in God’s Ultimate Plan of salvation. In the past, the Old Israel has served as the interim model of Justice, and agent of the Word of God. However, her role in these capacities is now outmoded, inasmuch as the community of Spiritual Israel has been inaugurated, and the Ideal Blueprint of Justice revealed, in fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy (Daniel 9:24). The active role of Natural Israel in the Divine Scheme was transitory. Any implication of a perpetual covenant between God and Natural Israel has no more significance than the reference to the perpetual priesthood of Aaron and his descendants; or Jeremiah’s erroneous assertion that David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel*. These were, merely, prophetic symbolisms, in which significant events and conditions in the history of natural Israel foreshadowed the Ultimate Reality, the Messianic Kingdom. (See Genesis 49:10). This relationship between the Natural and the Spiritual, the Old and the New, has ended with the revelation of the Ideal Blueprint. Therefore, the Jews must now join the community of believers, and forsake ethnocentrism.

The Miniature Structures

A Mystical Fire witnessed the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Day; it parted and rested on each of the disciples present. The parting of this Fire (the Potential Structure), and its resting on the disciples on Pentecost Day, marked the beginning of the Apparent Structure. While the large tongue of Fire, from which the smaller tongues parted, represents the Macrocosmic Structure, the parted tongues depict the microcosmic constituents of this Mother Structure. These Mini structures are present in the Mother Structure in two basic classes: as actual structures in the Heavenly Sanctuary (the efficiency line), and as mirages on the rest of the Structure. The Blessed Trinity remains intact within each mini structure, insofar as the parted tongues of fire retained all the features of the large tongue, from which they parted, indicating that the Father and the Son are inseparable, coexisting as One in the Holy Spirit. (And so, the fractal nature of the Spiritual Structure can be inferred, as well.) Hence, Jesus said:

My Father and I are One (John 10:30).

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me . . . (John 14:11).

. . . And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me (John 16:32).

(Note that Jesus made no reference in these passages to the Third Person of the Trinity—the Holy Spirit—since the Spirit was yet to come, and thus had not been made manifest. Hence, Jesus spoke frequently about the Holy Spirit in future tense.) Thus, the Three Persons are coeval with each other within the Unity: beginningless and eternal.

Paradoxically, the mini structure which illustrates the indivisibility of the Triune Spirit exists, nevertheless, as a sub-division of the Integral Whole: The Mother Structure. Like electromagnetic light, the Spirit is at once discrete and continuous, particular and universal. The Grand Law epitomizes the discrete or personal aspects of Divine Grace, while the Cosmic Law idealizes the continuous or cosmic aspects; together, they portray the Absolute Spirit.

Organization of the Miniature Structures

The mini structures, infinite in number, are microcosms of the cosmic struggles between good and evil; the human conscience typifies the battlefield for these mini struggles. Inasmuch as they are similar to the Mother Structure, the Cosmic Good and Evil (surfaces a-and-b), they are fractals, and reflect a pilgrim’s potential for good and evil. Surfaces a-and-b of the Mother Structure depict the multiple states of imbalance in these mini struggles: For the complacent pilgrim whose good deeds slightly outweigh its evil, its mini structure is oriented such that its good spirit (surface-b) is exposed, contributing to surface-b of the Mother Structure. However, for the apostate whose evil spirit is dominant, the orientation of its mini structure is such that its evil spirit (surface-a) is revealed, thus, contributing to surface-a of the Mother Structure. In the Heavenly Sanctuary of the Mother Structure, the mini structures of the sons of God are erect and in balance, thus, serving as the standards by which the outcome of the struggles on surfaces a-and-b of the Cosmic Structure are decided.

The Scriptures affirm that the Mother Structure—the Rock—comprises mini-rock-structures, by its description of pilgrims as living stones: “You, too, are living stones built as an Edifice of Spirit [i.e., Peter: The Cosmic Rock] . . .” (1 Pet.2:5; Matt. 16:18). Though the mini structures share a universal form with the Mother Structure, the spirit is, uniquely, expressed in each mini form by its orientation and rank: The degree to which each approximates or deviates from the Standard One at the Infinite Peak.

These mini structures are classified according to their ruggedness and luster: The precious stones of greater durability and luster are the actual mini structures that constitute the Cornerstone, the Heavenly Sanctuary, while the stones of lesser quality are mirages, and constitute the remainder of the Mother Structure. The precious stones are of twelve types, each type represents a major dominion:

The foundations of the wall of the City [New Jerusalem] were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; the fifth, an onyx; the sixth, carnelian; the seventh, chrysolite; the eight, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprase; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst (Revelation 21:19-21).

(Precious stones, which have their origins in the Earth’s crucible, were used in the Scriptures to depict the true spirit: their rarity signifies that only a few will acquire the true spirit; their radiance symbolizes that this spirit is the source of holiness and glory; their value points to the true spirit as the source of wisdom and life; and their ruggedness and durability represent the spirit’s indestructible and eternal nature.) In contrast to the precious stones of the Heavenly Sanctuary, the stones of surface-a are cut from wax, while those of surface-b are a motley of higher grade than wax.

The entire Mother Structure, then, is made up of different quality stones, whose ruggedness and luster depend on their positions; these qualities increase with increasing height in the Structure. On Judgment Day, the entire Structure will be tested with Fire, and the survival of each individual will depend on the nature of its stone:

Now, if any man builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each man’s work shall be made manifest; for the Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by Fire, and the Fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If the building [mini structure] a man has raised on this foundation survives, he will receive his reward, but if a man’s building burns, he will suffer loss . . . (1 Corinthian 3:12-15).

Baptism of Water and the Spirit

The symbolic process by which new members are initiated into the Universal Church, the baptism of water and the spirit, is a reenactment of the Cosmic Events which led up to the renewal of the Spiritual Mountain. John’s baptism of repentance, and Peter’s profession of faith, both intrinsic to the origin of the Mother Structure, are expressed on a miniature scale when an individual believes in God and assents to faith. Through the assent of faith (symbolized by the baptism of water), the ground (i.e., the conscience) is prepared, and the foundation is laid for rebuilding the mini structure within the individual about to receive the renewed spirit. It is in the context of this mini structure that Paul admonished pilgrims thus:

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwells in you (1 Corinthians 3:16)?

Following the process that restored the Mother Structure, the mini structure is similarly renewed within each new believer. This renewal begins with the death to sin through the baptism of fire—renouncing evil and embracing virtue through self-sacrifice and perseverance—and culminates in the resurrection to a new life of grace in God, marked by the acquisition of the Holy Spirit. Thus, the pilgrim is reborn.

The Real and the Mirage Spirits

If an individual wishes to receive the real spirit as opposed to the mirage, it must sacrifice its life to God through complete and enduring absorption in God. This is the ideal form of worship. Jesus promised:

If you love me, keep my commandments and I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Paraclete, that He may be with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him, but you know Him because He dwells with you and will be in you (John 14:15-17).

When Jesus said that the Father will “give you another Paraclete”, He was referring to the real spirit that will supplant the mirage. One who receives the actual spirit will possess it forever; not so, the individual who receives the mirage. The spirit’s influence in its life may be short-lived, depending on the steadfastness of its commitment to the Holy Spirit. In general, one who receives the mirage spirit is also said to be born again (though in a superficial sense), inasmuch as it is a member of the Universal Church, and therefore a citizen of the Kingdom of Light. However, this citizenship cannot be guaranteed while the individual is here on Earth.

These two manifestations of the spirit—the real and the mirage—correspond to the two major classes of mini structures—the rugged, precious stones of the Heavenly Sanctuary, and the less rugged materials that constitute the rest of the Mother Structure. A pilgrim may transform its essence to align with either form of spirituality, through deeds informed by the Word of God via the Holy Spirit. Jesus alluded to these two forms of mini structures in His parable:

Whoever hears these words of mine and does them, will be like a wiseman who built his house on rock, and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house, but it did not fall because it was set on rock. And whoever hears these words of mine and fails to do them will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on sand, and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house, and it collapsed and was completely ruined (Matthew 7:24-27).

Like the Mother Structure, the mini structures are also capable of growth. As new members join the fellowship, miniscule mirages emerge from the earthly plane, increasing in ruggedness and luster, as they ascend toward the Heavenly Sanctuary, where they are absorbed, and transformed into real mini structures. Through such a transformation, the old order passes away, and a new one is created. The Scriptures affirmed:

If any man is in Christ [the Heavenly Sanctuary] he is a new creation: the old has passed away, behold the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The Mini Fountains

The mini structures were portrayed also in Scriptures as mini fountains, approximate replicas of the Standard Wellspring at the Infinite Peak. (See Revelation 22:1). The higher the mini fountain is in the Heavenly Sanctuary the closer it approximates the Ultimate Fountain. Jesus remarked:

Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life (John 4:14; Revelation 7:17).

It is the aggregate of these real mini fountains which constitute the River in the Heavenly Sanctuary:

Then he showed me the river of life-giving water, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God, and of the Lamb (Revelation 22:1).

While the real mini fountains, the sources, are in the Heavenly Sanctuary, the rest of the Mother Structure consists of mirages: the effluent.

The God of Gods

The mini spirits—being individual spirits, and potentially identical to the Absolute Spirit—are personal gods. These various depictions of mini spirits relate to aspects of the Standard, Personal God. As such, the Standard Spirit is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords. Hence, the Scriptures said:

The Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the Great, the Mighty and Fearsome God, who is impartial and takes no bribe (Deuteronomy10:17).

‘You are gods‘, I say, ‘sons of the Most High; yet, like men, you will die, and fall like any prince’ (Psalms 82:6-7).

Do you, indeed, decree justice, you gods? Do you judge the sons of men fairly (Psalms 58:1)?

Is it not written in your law: ‘I said, you are gods?’ If He called them gods to whom the Word of God was addressed (and Scripture cannot lose its force), do you say of Him whom the Father consecrated, and sent into the world: ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’ (John 10:34-36)?

The Standard Spirit

As a shadow of the real mini structure, a pilgrim’s mirage spirit (on surface-b) serves as bearings for homing into its potential, true spirit (in the efficiency line). Paul observed:

For what man knows a man’s innermost self, save the man’s own spirit within him? Similarly, no one knows the things that lie in the depths of God, but the Spirit of God. Now, the spirit we have received is not the world’s spirit, but God’s Spirit helping us to recognize the gifts He has given us [the true self] (1 Corinthians 2:11-12).

Thus, a pilgrim’s union with its true spirit (in the Heavenly Sanctuary) is, in effect, an approximate realization of its true self; the Absolute True Self being God the Father. Ideally, in this enlightened state, the pilgrim apprehends with its mind’s eyes, a telescopic vision of Absolute Truth—the Mother Structure. (The total view looking down from any point [mini structure] in the Heavenly Sanctuary, gives a relative cosmic picture of the Infinite Structure.) Thus, the universal specific, the mini structure, is magnified and viewed as one with the Universal Infinite, the Mother Structure.

Conversely, a pilgrim’s mini structure, in the Heavenly Sanctuary, is an infinitesimal, approximate model of the Mother Structure; the Absolute Model being the Standard One at the Infinite Peak. In this respect, the mini structure is perceived as a discrete entity.

And so, the Standard Spirit is at once infinitesimal and infinite: a paradox. While the Infinitesimal Standard Spirit is akin to a Seed, God the Father, the Infinite Standard is likened to the Womb, God the Mother—the All-encompassing Spirit—who bears the Offspring, also; even so, they are all coeval. Hence, the fellowship of the Spirit is a kinship. And since God the Father and God the Mother, the Complementary Standards, are conjoined, the Standard Spirit is hermaphroditical**. (C.f., Last ¶ in Blog Post 4; ¶9 of “The Messianic Scepter” in Blog Post 6)

As God the Mother, the Standard Spirit is the Impersonal Absolute—the Cosmic Law—but as God the Father, He is the Supreme Person—the Grand Law.

Like a hologram, every portion of the Spiritual Structure, however infinitesimal, retains an image of the Standard Structure, albeit adulterated by varying degrees. Thus, the Standard Spirit is in all, yet all are in the Standard Spirit. The mini structures depict the manifold existence of the Supreme Spirit, God the Father; all of them rooted in descending approximations of Him, in the One Cosmic Form of Divine Nature, the Mother Structure***. Thus, the Spirit is both One and Many.

This attribute of the Divine is a major point of divergence between the Natural and Spiritual Israelites, with the former rejecting this notion in the prior absence of strong evidence. It is, rather, one of the many paradoxes of the Divine, of which the Cryptogram is their universal depiction.

Insofar as the mini structures share common characteristics with the Mother Structure, they also exhibit a Dual Nature; hence, the Three Persons in the One God have Two Forms common to them.

Though indwelling in pilgrims, in the form of mini structures, the Mother Structure is yet separate from her creatures♠ (as illustrated by the analogy of the magnetic field and iron filings). She is the Framework in whom all find support; the Eternal Home longed for by pilgrims.


*Exodus 29:9; Numbers 18:19; Sirach 45:24,7; 1 Chronicles 23:13; Jeremiah 33:17-18.

**Therefore, the invocation of the Lord’s Prayer should include reference to God the Mother (Onishe): “Our Mother and Father, who are in Heaven . . . (Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:2-4)

***Hence, God the Father is the “Exponent” of God the Mother; and God the Mother is the “Lord of Spirits”.
