Max Heindel, (1865 - 1919), who founded the Rosicrucian Fellowship, (RF) located in Oceanside, CA, was in a past life the apostle Paul. This link will prove that fact by using the "Rosicrucian Cosmo-conception," (RCC) which is the book he authored under the guidance of the Elder Brothers.  A few other of his works will also be used to reinforce that original idea found in the RCC that he was in a past life the apostle Paul.  (No where else is a direct hint given on who he was, except in the RCC.) The Elder Brothers, and Jesus are similar in evolutionary advancement, which is why they use that descriptive epithet.  The Elder Brother of the RF contacted me in the year 1978, and Jesus contacted me in 1977.  Those true stories, which talk of signs, and wonders are told elsewhere in this site. 

The idea discussed in this link that shows that Max is saying he is the reborn apostle Paul, means nothing unless we then investigate further so that we can substantiate that most likely Max was indeed Paul in a past life.  We again must make a theory, and then support it.  However, no new theory needs to be proposed, as the first theory made elsewhere on Home page that is called "The theory of the Mystery of God" need be the one and only theory, and what is discovered here will continue to substantiate it.   

The manner of transmission of the Elder Brother's teachings to Max, who as will be proven later was the reborn apostle Paul, was similar to the transmission when he was Paul.  When Saul, he had to be realigned so he stopped killing Christians, but that took only a few days, afterward he was called Paul. Then a few years later, when in Arabia, Paul learned directly from Jesus, who was in heaven, the teachings he was to preach. That showed that the Qur'an was to come, and be part of the Christian teachings. 

 Two thousand years later, Max did not need to be knocked off of a horse in a blinding light, like happened 2000 years ago when Jesus spoke to him, or have something similar happen such as knocked out of his car in a blinding light.  That miraculous event, soon after the time that Jesus had walked the earth, happened to hopefully stop Paul, who was a very zealous Jewish priest called Saul,  from killing the early converts to Christianity. 

 In his recent life, 1865 - 1919 CE, Paul remained reformed, but he had forgotten who he was in his past lives as do almost all of us forget. (We cannot recall so we do not hold to past glories, or failures, where family influence may have been the reason for failure or success, or continue to hate old enemies, but are given a clean start. Those being only a few of the reasons our memory of the past is removed. )  When Paul was reborn, and finally by occult means he recalled who he was, then he changed his birth name of Carl Grasshoff, and took the name Max Heindel. So he repeated changing his name again, like he had after learning to embrace Christianity during the time that Peter was still alive.  In addition to changing his name other similarities could be noted.  Saul was born of wealth, and had a dignified parentage.  Carl was born of wealth, and had a dignified parentage too. 

About a hundred years ago, Max went to Austria to receive the teachings given to him from the inner worlds, or from heaven.  Austria is about the same distance  from Greece as, when Max was called Paul, is the distance from Jerusalem to Arabia. This shows that now the Greek myths, and other world religions are to be included in the Christian teachings. This then allows Rome, the Vatican to be defeated, or reformed, and the true nature of Christianity to be revealed.  The Qur'an revealed the truth about Jesus, now the RCC, although not a holy book, but a book from man, reveals the truth about the Bible, and the truth about evolution: That man someday will evolve to be like the angels, who gave the messages of God to men. 

For a few paragraphs below, maybe about five pages long, there will be a number of topics covered that do not necessarily prove that Max was at one time the apostle Paul.  Please keep your mind open to learning about a few different ideas, even presented so they appear unconnected to one another.  Not much later the original topic of proving who Max was in a previous life will begin.  

Since most people have not read the RCC yet, and much of this related information they are reading here is new to them, then all of this may seem confusing, and beyond belief.  All I can ask is that the reader continue, and if at times they are wondering what is going on, that they go on in faith and keep reading. Eventually things will make sense.  If this site were constructed like Wikipedia, where every new idea that it is believed the average reader has no knowledge, that a link is supplied that goes to a good background on that new idea, then what is written here would likely make more sense.  

In Wikipedia a person can spend sometimes several hours, even days going to one link after another simply to understand an idea given in the original subject under investigation. Wikipedia is written by what appears at times to be geniuses. So if their method of enlightenment may at time involve hours, or days of background reading to understand the original subject, so the reader should consider that what is in this website is simply something the reader must accept as new information.  There is nothing that can be done in either situation if the reader simply wants an easy explanation on a difficult, and never before understood subject matter.  Therefore if the reader wants to be informed in this case of this particular website, they simply must accept what is read in one area, and later hopefully they will recall when it is needed in another area, and when the time comes all will fit together.  So now we continue on.  

 When I received my message in 1998, an angel delivered it to me.  There after I studied the Qur'an and Bible like I had never done before.  I realized from that investigation that the two, Bible, and Qur'an, supported one another.  After that, a couple of years later I returned to study more thoroughly the RCC, and the other of his writings finding that what I learned since the angel's visit about the Bible, and Qur'an was already included in the works by Max.  But it was hidden from the surface understanding by using a Cabalistic style of writing. 

The point I hope to make is that, as will be found in the works by Max, that humans have lead humanity on longer than most of us ever thought in the form of Kings, and Queens. They at one time were considered like God, and were divine rulers.  Today most Kings, and Queens are not like those human rulers of long ago. Not all degenerated, but many times that idea of Kings, and so on did.   

For example, Hirohito, (1901 - 1989 CE)  the 124th ruler of Japan, and all of the prior rulers were considered by the Japanese to be divine, or God incarnate.  Christians believe in something similar except their God died, then ascended to heaven where he continues to look after those who so believe.   The Japanese simply kept their God on earth, a more practical approach, verses Christians taking their God to now dwell in heaven.    

According to Max, as taught him by the Elder Brothers, there are people who are part of our humanity that are very evolved, that live on the planets Venus, and Mercury.  Some of those came to earth and were our good Kings and Queens of long, long ago, prior to recorded history.  Hard to believe, but that incredibility does not matter.  The reason this information is told here, is to help the reader understand that what the angels give to humans, and what the advanced humans give to us as well, are not confused thinking they are both the same.  The desired results are the same, but again one group are human leaders, and the other are angels.  

The angels are more powerful and are able to influence humanity by subtle means, or we might say the angels fool the humans into doing the correct thing. Where as before when we had divine human rulers the more backward human, by comparison, (That includes nearly all of us on earth today) followed the orders unconditionally.  Later the humans evolved enough so they rebelled against the divine rulers, but the angels were still able to manipulate humanity so that most of us would correctly evolve. 

 Therefore what happened to me when the angel arrived, only proved that some very advanced humans had done before what that one angel informed me of recently.  That offers some proof that the human leaders we once obeyed without question are still around, but they now work in different ways to help humanity.  Only those humans that are willing to take orders again will be helped, otherwise we, including myself it appears, will be manipulated by angels. 

The angel that visited me only gave me a hint to look at things a little closer. I won't explain in more detail here what I am getting at as the better explanation should appear once the RCC is read.  But don't read the RCC, and the other RF works until this link here is finished, unless you are a genius.  That ends one small insight on how angels, and advanced humans work together that will only make sense after this link is read, and then the RCC is studied.    

The manner of transmission when called Max was the almost same, 1 Galatians 1:11 - 19, but this time the teacher was a friend of Jesus Christ, who was Lazarus.  The book Max authored called the RCC, written under the direction of Lazarus, (who later renamed himself Christian Rosenkreuz)  and likewise so too are many of his other letters are like his previous letters long ago in the NT, full of mysteries, also good doctrine, even cunning lies, but logic can clear up any of their hidden meaning.  

 The reason for that type of teaching by Paul is so that the heavenly host, including those who are wicked, (The fallen angels) can manipulate us rebellious humans: Thereby teaching us a good lesson so maybe we might want to learn the proper path of evolution, instead of rebelling so much of the time.  Still we see this leaves the choice to ourselves, but there will be consequences to endure, either good or bad depending if we did the right thing or the wrong thing. The consequences may not appear until after death, so do not be fooled thinking a full life with luxuries means you are on the right path:  Maybe you are, maybe you are not. You could be fooled.

The life of Jesus is considered by many occultists to be the path of the mystic, or the heart.  The life of Lazarus is considered to be the path of the occultist, or what we call today the scientist:  the path of the mind: using discernment.   So we see the connection in Austria, where some of the most brilliant people on earth are found is the path that shows us what are the mysteries, and the meaning of the NT. 

In Arabia, where the Qur'an was later given, was where Paul first received his teaching from Jesus.  Mohammed, like Jesus, also shows the path of the mystic.  It would appear then that most of humanity is following the path of the mind for otherwise most of the world would not need my assistance, and the planet would be at peace right now.  If it appears that most humans have little intelligence, then we may understand that they have even less of a heart. So, logically the path of the mind will be the one that develops the soul for the great bulk of humanity.  That is my personal prediction, and the reborn Paul shares it too.   

When called Paul he wrote down mysteries, but he gave no penetrating explanation on what they might mean.  IF one were a saint then they would know the meaning.  Today the masses, most of those who are not saints, are taught, Ephesians 6:18 - 20, what before only the saints understood.  In our modern world Paul, reborn called Max, would again boldly preach the mysteries, but this time he would include an explanation that a babe in Christ could understand.  

Within the RCC, Max will also show that Jesus was not crucified, but most will think he said that Jesus was crucified.  On the surface of the RCC, the only view most readers see, Max clearly states that Jesus was crucified.  However, as water refracts light so the object appears in one position, but when one quickly reaches in to catch, say, a fish, then we reach in a place the fish is not, in a like manner Max uses a Cabbalistic like method of hiding that knowledge. That OT method is his water that bends the light, but by using logic, which is one of the keys used to unlock scripture, that same idea of an uncrucified Jesus, who passes over the cross can be easily found. 

 In addition, one other of his works will be used to further prove that the cross is symbolism, and that therefore Jesus could not be crucified. To take the crucifixion merely literally for Jesus, would be to remove the symbolism in that sign. Instead of only one event the crucifixion must be both literal, and symbolic.  That can only happen when one person is made a look alike for Jesus, and the real Jesus escapes.

Whenever Jesus told a parable, the story had to include ideas that could by analogy be fit to a real world event, or character.  To think that one was crucified, died, and then came back to life has no similar analogous event in the world.  Therefore we have to accept that somehow Jesus did not really die, for there is nothing in the world that completely dies, where all life functions fail for several days, but then comes back to life in the same identical physical structure that before had died, and began the decay process. 

 For example, some plants like fruit trees become dormant during winter, but if they die, like grain, they never return to life. Grain must be reseeded, and then it begins from a sprout until it grows into maturity. Jesus did not begin again as an infant after the crucifixion, and so we must conclude Jesus never died. 

Most know of people who have died, but were brought back to life by artificial means of resuscitation.  Those methods are futile if the time of death is too long.  Without means to revive them within a few minutes, the brain would soon die, and if they were not revived there after only a few minutes longer, that more of the body would die, until at last within a few hours rigor mortis would set in.  If the body is kept chilled, then all of the time for the death of various organs are delayed, but still there is a limit even then.  

In my instance, where I died in my sleep, no doubt only a minute or less occurred before I was brought back from what in most instances, almost 100% of the time, would have lead to a death that allowed for no return, even if hours later there were human, or angelic intervention.  Even the angels can not defy the laws of God, so they have only so much time allowed to bring a person back to life. Of course suspended animation is not death, and in that state one can be brought back hours, or days later, because they never died in the first place. 

 But the person who looked like Jesus bleed out, or as a result of blood loss soon died from shock. He could not be brought back to life.  Therefore the reason for a look alike. The real Jesus could return, and appear brought back from death.  He could appear to defy the laws of God, and thereby make people believe he was God.   

The great majority of the students in the RF took the crucifixion to be only literally for Jesus, all the while they accepted that the crucifixion  also implied the symbolism of the sun crossing the vernal equinox, going from the cold of winter, where is death, into the warmth of summer to begin life again. They accepted the annual cycle of plants, where in spring the crops are planted, then comes summer where they ripen, which is followed by the harvest in Autumn, and finally the death of the plants in winter, which cycle is symbolized by what Jesus did for all of us.  By the return of Jesus from "a death" on the cross he came back to give an impulse of love to mankind, and Christ, like the sun, does this cycle annually. 

We see that the above analogy on plants, explained elsewhere by Max, can not alone fit what happened on the cross, but other analogies Max told did fit if two analogies were used to explain one event.  Max had to make for confounding verses for, as we will see below, during his life time it was not the time to reveal the truth on the subject of the crucifixion.  Of course we can easily say that Max did reveal the truth, but because his method of giving hints was so obscure that it can be said that for most of humanity, if they did not have an explanation like found here, that he never told the truth. 

Since two people were involved in one crucifixion, then there are two truths operating simultaneously, which causes confusion that such can occur as it defies common sense.  There is the truth of the analogy of  planting, and harvesting of grain, where one person from Arabia lived, then his life harvested where he died on the cross as the look alike of Jesus, and about five hundred years later his body was reseeded to begin the cycle again when he was reborn from a mother’s human womb.  In his future life he would be reborn as Mohammed the Prophet, where from his previous life he had now gathered together in his next a greater harvest in the work of benefiting humanity.  There is also the analogy of a tree being seeded, growing to bear fruit, then lying dormant during winter, until spring returns again, so that without dying it bears fruit every season, which happened in the life of Jesus Christ, who did not die, but escaped due to looking like the person who carried his cross.  The body of Jesus is still in a dormant state,  while his spirit ascended to heaven.  His living body is buried in a secret place on earth, and he will not be seen walking about until the reborn Peter, the coming of the son of man’s work is complete.  Peter's work is like a farmer, who prunes the tree, and prepares for the next season.  

The farmer Peter, reborn today, in this analogy is not able to prune the tree, fertilize, and so on every year. Another season concerning him means a longer period than the annual cycle of fruit production.  Still if the tree is watered, such as by rain, even if the farmer is dead, it will yield fruit every year to be harvested by anyone that so desires.  So in that manner does Christ yield a beneficial assistance to everyone on earth annually even when the farmer is dead.    Unfortunately it is not as simple as that.  

For those who have traveled around citrus fields, etc., they will find trees up rooted due to tornados, or here in Florida due to hurricanes.   There are also pests, fungus, and diseases that invade so that sometime entire groves, or orchards must be removed, and replanted.  Jude 1:12 “These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves; they are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;”   17 - 19 “But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:  how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.  These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.”

 But the farmer is back, and so the groves will be inspected, and removal, and replanting done where required.   So in our inspection we will see many analogies concerning "a death" on the cross, which will be explained when the subject of the crucifixion is covered later.  By using "a death" on the cross we see no name was mentioned, which allows us to plug in the correct answer of whose death it was, once we have found the correct conclusion. 

Here we see an example of similar trickery in the NT in the book of Hebrews 9:15  "And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance."

One clue that will be used to prove that Max was the apostle Paul involves the subtle clue above " a death having taken place."  Paul never states whose death it was.  Why did he not simply say that it was Jesus, but he did not?  Just like when Paul said that the church will be lead to myths.  Why did not Paul say that is when the apostasy starts?   Again he did not say when it began, but the reader thought they knew, and so they mislead themselves.  The church refused to learn myths, all the while they were lead astray by wrong doctrine. That type of behavior is childishness.

Max wrote the book of Hebrews when he was the apostle Paul, which book has both mature solid food for adults, and also milk for the babes in Christ, which will mislead the babe in Christ reader if they are not aware of the many subtle hints, which to them  are too obscure to understand.  Those ideas are covered in detail in the link "Creating myths from guile."

Concerning the RCC, and the students of the organization that Max established.  Because Max was accepted as an authority, then when he openly stated that Jesus was crucified, the student looked no further, all the while many times Max hinted for them not to only look on the surface of what he taught.  He gave them many hints to show he would at times teach using guile, but they did not understand.   Of course for many years I did what they did, proving that I was not a genius.  But I did have a reason for my accepting the many apparent errors, which otherwise should have made me leave, and never return.  

My reasons for searching for more answers to life led me to the book the RCC, but it did not show me what I wished to know.  So I went to other organizations like the Theosophical Society, which helped a bit, but still I was not satisfied.  I then came back to the RF, and read more of their works.   Eventually I was satisfied, but I noticed that Max had a number of contradictions, particularly concerning items related to the crucifixion, so that I was once again thinking of leaving.   However, that is when the Elder Brother came to me, and let me know that I should stay in the RF by showing me his mastery on occult principles. After his demonstration, I then accepted all contradictions in any of Max’s books as something that would someday be later cleared away.  For about twenty years I never once thought that I would be the one to clear the contradictions away.  

 Very few would ever believe that the works by Max that they were reading were designed to have some similarities to the NT, so that it would mislead them, but all at the same time, when one has the occult key, which is simply logic, all the confusion could be cleared away. 

Only after the Archangel Michael spoke to me in 1998, which happened about twenty years after I first read the works by Max, where now Michael gave me a hint, did I finally see the truth that Max had fooled me a number of times.  Many current RF members have finally learned what I have learned, after they read my website, but they are too worldly to want to join in, and endure hardship to spread the word.  Jesus encountered the same type of people in his day, who were those who said they liked him, but they preferred to follow the already established priesthood instead.  By their so doing, and since the priesthood wished to murder Jesus, then Jesus called all of them, in fact the entire world in a figurative sense, as people "Hating me without a cause."  

What little on this subject of “The Prince of the Power of air”  that is introduced here will help the reader to understand why they should be cautious on being a member of the RF.   We will find over and over again that the works by Paul in the NT when called Paul, and his works today in the RF when called Max, that he continues to make things like a puzzle. Until the puzzle is understood then more problems than we would like can happen.  Here follows one example, where hopefully today a bit of a solution is applied to Max's puzzle, taken from the RCC Page 350:

“The Ego works directly through the blood. The Race-spirit guides the Races by working in the blood, as the group-spirit guides the animals of its species through the blood. So also does the Ego control its own vehicle, but with a difference.

  The Ego operates by means of the heat of the blood, while the Race (i.e., tribal, or family) spirit works by means of the air, as it is drawn into the lungs. That is why Jehovah, or His messengers, "breathed into man's nostrils," thereby securing admission for the Race-spirit, Community-spirits, etc. ((My Ross note: But the fallen angels gain access to humans, making them think they are correct, also by this same means of the air.  So angels and fallen angels manipulate humanity.  The fallen angels used the spinal column of infant humanity, that is humanity long ago,  to give pictures to the brain. But when that first happened it was millions of years ago. Today the fallen angles can do much of what the regular angels can do. Fallen angels evolve too.  ))

The different classes of Race-spirits guided their peoples to various climates and different parts of the Earth. To the trained clairvoyant, a tribal-spirit appears as a cloud enveloping and permeating the atmosphere of the whole country inhabited by the people under its dominion. Thus are produced the different peoples and nations. Paul spoke of "The Prince of the Power of the Air"; or "principalities and powers," etc., showing that he knew of the Race-spirits, but now not even an attempt is made to understand what they mean, although their influence is strongly felt. ((My Ross note: I have attempted to show what it means.))  Patriotism is one of the sentiments emanating from and fostered by them. It has not now so much power over people as formerly. There are some who are being liberated from the Race-spirit and can say with Thomas Paine, "The world is my country." There are those who can leave father and mother and look upon all men as brothers." 

Now compare that with what Paul talked about in the NT Ephesians 2:1-10 "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,  in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,  among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.   For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,  not of works, lest anyone should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Paul teaches to have faith in the NT, but in fact he really wants the person to discriminate.  Unfortunately most of humanity can not, and so they continue on in faith, even if their faith has been corrupted such as has happened today.  Humanity's intellect was not too good back then, and today it has changed very little.

When we consider that the Christianity today is not the same as in Paul’s time, and if we accept that the Prince of the Power of Air has taken control of the church, so it then is in many ways again fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and mind, such as Patriotism: USA is number one, Democracy is to be spread around the world, even if lies must be told of other nations, so that the USA may complete its manifest destiny.  

Manifest destiny was fine to create a USA nation of from "sea to shining sea,"  but then let this nation by example be a model for others, so if others desire they may become like the USA.  But do not use secret means to infiltrate democratic ideas when many nations are not ready to have a democracy, and its people would find it counter productive to be a democracy.   

As Home page pointed out, our democracy today is not really what it is suppose to be.  The Prince of the Power of the Air has altered it to become something like a dictatorial government, where propaganda, and intense feelings of nationalism make for a government that tries all it can to make it appear democratic.     

Religions were given to each nation that were best suited for its people, and the same holds for governments even if the governments are truly democratic.  Democracy can only survive if the news will report all things honestly, where national security is considered making the nation secure from all things corrupt, not covering up a political system that has become corrupt such as in the USA today.  Sorry to go off on a tangent.

It is said that the housing market collapse was what created the fall in the overall economy.   That happened when the Government allowed "liar loans"  in order that minorities could qualify for loans, and that racial prejudice might be eliminated. 

If what was said above does not make sense, then that person should likely read a book on how blacks have been treated in the past in the housing market to know what I am talking about.  Of course hardly a book will be written on why "liars loans," as it makes the great USA that tells every other nation to be like us, to instead be something that others should not copy.  We have become today like the Jews of old that God said: Exocus 32:7 - 9 " And the Lord said to Moses, "Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt (From Europe to the USA) have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, (Many corrupt US policies)  and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, `This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!'  And the Lord said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people!"   

So others, not black, took the liar loans, who had money, taking advantage of those loans and then turned it into an investment scheme.  If anyone thinks that is a stupid idea so housing discrimination can be eliminated, well so it proves to be.

 If a person can see that spreading democracy is not of Christ, but instead many times today is one nation fighting against the others, which facts today prove the majority can not see, then we may understand that Paul was told to test humanity.   If they won't think, then test them and let the results teach a lesson so maybe they will want to learn to think.  What is the conclusion, for me anyway: That humanity has for the most part failed to accept Christ.  Even some of the members of the RF who think they are saints, but would openly say they are not, have for the most part failed, and are guided along by the Prince of the power of the air.  If they could put their ego aside, not care how people look at them, they may succeed again.

 What the reader will soon find explained below, by the reborn apostle Paul, contains either a deeper meaning laying beneath an unsightly garment, which is like the Zohar explains of the Torah, or these are error after error made by an author who later wishes you to believe he has a meaningful explanation on an expansive subject, on cosmology, the creation of the universe, that requires the most sublime intellect, as well as high grade clairvoyant sight to be able to investigate that area.  If the reader does not believe the insight shown below, added by the reborn apostle Peter, then who ever accepts the surface teachings while ignoring this added insight proves they are as big a fool as are those who believe that Jesus is God.  If the author of the RF can make so many simple errors, on things easily proven right, or wrong, why believe him on ideas that even Albert Einstein could not explain, unless within the errors a deeper idea is meant to be found? 

 Here begins a quick look at the place in the RCC, which proves Max was the reborn apostle Paul. After that, then a proof that Jesus was not crucified will be shown. This will also prove, by one more of many other proofs, that I am the reborn apostle Peter. Below we will look at excerpts from pages 169 - 171 of the RCC.  In only three pages will many deeper truths be found. 

The use of double parenthesis  ((  )) with explanations within is inserted in the text below, which are not part of the original book,  in order to help us see how to read between the lines, and find a deeper truth within. The reader should, in fact must click on every link when they come to one, in order to pick up the deeper clues on how to read between the lines. 

Max begins by explaining about our past state of belief on spiritual matters, and how we "dallied his time away without developing the resources of the world, as do the people of India today, for the same reason."  But, it was time now for us to conquer the physical world. For that reason wine, or alcohol was introduced.  Here follows the rest of his work

                   ---------------------------------------

“Hitherto only water had been used as a drink and in the ceremonies of the Temple service, but after the submergence of Atlantis--a continent which once existed between Europe and America, where the Atlantic Ocean now lies--those who escaped destruction began to cultivate the vine and make wine, as we find narrated in the Bible story of Noah.((Here we find a hint of the time we are approaching today: "As in the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the son of man."  Max will eventually give many hints on the name in a past life of the one, who will be that son of man today, so that together he has practically shouted out the name of that person. )) Noah symbolizes the remnant of the Atlantean Epoch, which became the nucleus of the Fifth Race--therefore our progenitors.

(( There are many examples of what a remnant means in the Bible, here are a few that relates to the past, and to the time today.

Here is when Jesus walked on earth:  Isaiah 28:5  " In that day the Lord of hosts will be for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of His people "

Here talks about the time when Peter, and Paul were alive after Jesus ascended to heaven:  Romans 9:27  Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved.

And soon follows in Romans this verse, which is about Peter as he is reborn life, after life:  Romans 9:33   As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.''

Here is a verse on the remnant (still in the book of Romans in the portion where the truth, and riddles are told) where the “present time” includes the time up until  the son of man comes: Romans 11:5   Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Here are verses that Peter uses found in Acts 2:20-21, taken from Joel, that relates to “as in the days of Noah“ :  Joel 2:31-32 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord.  And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

  But Peter does not include all of the verses, and so like a riddle we must see what else does this time include.  Here are the verses that follow immediately, only found in Joel 2:32 "For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls."

The verses above say  “before the terrible day of the Lord.”  That means first must signs of the sun turned to darkness be shown, and so on, which is what is found in a nuclear winter.  Then after that someday, which someday corresponds to the standards of evolution, which can involve millions of years, then the second coming of Christ will come whether prepared or not.  By that time many people will have entered into the second coming of Christ, and will gladly look forward to the terrible day for the many others who are not prepared when Christ returns to end life on earth.  That means another day like in the days of Noah will happen, but that future one is maybe millions of years away. 

Here the word remnant is not found, but the product of those who are chosen by their deeds, or by their fruit, who will be the remnant are the ones found in these verses written down by the prophet Daniel.  Daniel lived around 580 BC :

Daniel 12:9-10  "And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.   Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. "

In order for the verses in Daniel 12:9-10 to be fulfilled, that tells of an end to come, like when Noah saw the end of his generation, where only a remnant remained to start the seed of the next race, so then will we need to see a time come where miracles of righteousness, and a preacher of righteousness appears that a new attitude may be instilled within humanity.  The new attitude would be loving God, where we learn the mature teachings on what that means, more than loving man, and what man wants to teach us on how to behave.  The scientific method will allow that to happen so that humans may intelligently differentiate between the laws of God, and the laws of man that may go against the laws of God.  Then doing works that show that change.  This son of man today is part of the remnant who has returned, according to the election of grace, upon whom the church of Jesus Christ will be built upon. ))

The active principle of alcohol is a "spirit" and as the humanity of the earlier Epochs used the articles of food best suited to their vehicles, so this spirit was, in the Fifth Epoch, added to the foods previously used by evolving humanity. It acts upon the spirit of the Fifth Epoch man, temporarily paralyzing it, that it may know, esteem and conquer the physical world and value it at its proper worth. Thus man forgets, for the time being, his spiritual home, clinging to this form of existence, which he has previously despised, with all the tenacity born of a feeling that this is all there is--or at least, preferring the certainty of this world to taking chances on a heaven which, in his present muddled state, he does not understand.

Water only had been used in the Temples, but now this is altered. "Bacchus," a god of wine, ((Bacchus did not need to be mentioned.  Max only needed to say Wine was introduced.  Bacchus is his hint that the NT myth story is based upon the earlier Greek myths, which is told in more detail in the link "Creating Myths from Guile." )) appears and under his sway the most advanced nations forget that there is a higher life. None who offer tribute to the counterfeit spirit of wine or any alcoholic liquor (the product of fermentation and decay) can ever know anything of the higher Self--the true Spirit which is the very source of life.

(( The phrase “none who offer tribute” emphasizes the idea that alcohol is more of a remedy, on various occasions, to make an event more tolerable.  If our life is based upon earning a living so later we may party then we offer tribute to alcohol.  Jesus, Paul, and all of the apostles drank alcohol in moderation.  Paul, 1 Timothy 5:23, said that a little wine is beneficial.  There is never one time in the NT where Jesus, or any of his close disciples were found mentally impaired by alcohol, and yet here is what Jesus said he was called:  Matthew 11: 18-19  "For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon.'  The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, `Look, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children.''

The Qur’an if read correctly shows that if there is no benefit at all from using alcohol, say as a remedy for the body, or to make a social event more tolerable, then alcohol should not be used.   Otherwise it is OK, but moderation is the key so we do not go to excess and are tempted by the devil. 

There are some Christians, Matthew 26:29,  who say they will not drink alcohol because Jesus said just a few days before he departed earth that he will not drink of the vine anymore.  If a person is that stupid, not being able to realize that you can't drink alcohol when you don't have a physical body, which was soon to be the case for Jesus, then I agree with those people as their mind is too feeble where even one shot of alcohol would likely impair their judgment so they were easily tempted by the devil. Jesus said that when he returns he will once again drink alcohol, so we should easily see that if Jesus were here in body right now that we would at times find him drinking. 

Not drinking alcohol will not make the Father's kingdom come any quicker. Only deeds of righteousness will hasten that day.  Those who do not drink alcohol because they can not reason properly, also are not able to see that their deeds they call righteous, are not really righteous at all. 

There is no great reason to drink alcohol if anyone cares not to.  There are other ways to benefit the stomach without using alcohol.   For 14 years, from the age of 24 to age 38 years I never touched a drop of alcohol, and even made sure that the Vanilla extract I used was alcohol free.  I did drink grape juice, which in many ways is the equivalent of wine, but without the alcohol.  From the age of 38 there on I drank socially.  Then for an entire  year at age 58 I went without drinking alcohol once again, but I now drink socially. 

A large helping of the typical food served at lunch, or dinner that was prepared alcohol free, that is no alcohol was added to it,  is still said to have the equivalent of one half beer of alcohol in it due to the natural fermentation of food. So it is rather hard not to have some amount of alcohol in our diet no matter what we do.  ))

All this was preparatory to the coming of Christ, and it is of the highest significance that His first act was to change "water into wine." (John 2:11.) (( Here is the quote of John 2:11 "This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him."  The introductory portion of this web site called "Home page" should have been read first before starting this link: "The reborn apostle Paul." 

 If the reader has decided to read this link before finishing Home page they may not be prepared for the trickery of Max, which is found in his many works, where some is explained in this link.  Also, if any idea explained here seems far fetched at first, keep an open mind, for eventually many other corroborating details will dovetail so that the reader should no longer have any doubts.   

Max begins talking about miracles by introducing one deed of Jesus by saying it was "His first act," and as we see above it is in italic print. 

When italic print is found in the works of Max, that is a hint to look deeper. His first act of changing "water to wine" can be accepted as true, so long as we confine ourselves to only the area of Cana.  But since it is italicized, then we should realize that more can be found if we will investigate. For example, the first time Max uses italic print is in his opening poem titled "Creed or Christ." Here is the place:

"At His request the Universal Spirit came

To all the churches; not to one alone

On Pentecostal morn a tongue of flame

Round each apostle as a halo shone." 

When the first churches were established that all would be true, but later, after the "Lawless One," 2 Thess 2:8-12,  arrived around the year 325 AD, then that was no longer valid for each church. Since then like vultures ravenous with greed, various churches have oftened battled one another for an empty name. 

We see above in the poem that each is also italicized, which applies to the apostles.  Therefore a deeper message is implied that deals with the apostles, which idea is found here in this web site.  That deeper message is that Max, and Dan, who are two reborn apostles will reveal to you who is the Lawless One, and of course will have to reveal many other ideas in order to prove that fact.  

 Returning to look more closely at His first act.  The Book of Acts is the record of the deeds, and preaching of the apostles after Jesus ascended into Heaven.  We are therefore introduced to the idea that a continuation of the preaching of the apostles who are, as we will soon find, bound by the command of "Tell no one who is Jesus the Christ" is still in effect.  So lies, found on the surface of Max's explanation, must be told concerning the crucifixion until the archangel Michael, the prince of the Jews, tells otherwise, which change happened when Michael recently spoke to me.  The book of Acts is concerned primarily with the actions of Peter, and Paul.    

When Paul returned, or was reborn, one of his first acts in the RCC was to explain that rebirth was an esoteric Christian teaching for about 2000 years that today is to be taught publicly.  Then when Peter returns the second act in the same book is the esoteric teaching that Jesus was not crucified, and  that today this is also to be taught publicly.  In the meantime, the reborn Peter and Paul will do other acts that are found elsewhere in the works of the RF, and that also can be found in, and around the world.  Peter can say something similar to what Jesus said at John 4:48 , but in his own words "You will no doubt not believe unless you see many miracles, and unless you use logic."      

 Max above told of "the coming of Christ," then he gave a hint of the next level that the teachings of Christ would be explained publicly by using "His first act," and then he immediately gave an example, John 2:11, which like "the son of man" if not understood will lead you astray.  Max, who is under the direction of the Elder Brothers, knew that I would sift through the guile in the NT, and find that the "water to wine" was not the first miracle.  In fact the word "act" is never found in the gospels to describe even one miracle of Jesus.  We are therefore left with a hint that we are dealing with a similar event in modern times that is like the acts of old, where Peter, and Paul preach the word of God. 

In order to see that "His first act" is guile, we will investigate a few verses in the NT, and find that Jesus had performed other miracles prior to changing water to wine, the only problem is, is that most of those other miracles are not described in any detail.  All we are told is that Jesus performed miracles.  Changing water to wine was the first of the signs, and wonders that occurred when Jesus was at Cana, that is, it appears to be the first due to the way the verse is written.  It leads one to believe Jesus did not do any miracles previous to Cana.  However, why could not this miracle have taken place earlier, Luke 4:13 - 37, where Jesus announces for the first time who He is by introducing prophecy which explains why the many miracles, and then he soon performs a miracle of changing his identity, just like is clearly shown he can do the same, Matthew 24:13 - 31, after the crucifixion.

It is possible that the miracle of Jesus changing his appearance happened before changing water to wine. One thing for certain we will learn here is that changing water to wine was not the first miracle.  We can also say for certain that the first secret miracle, or the first miracle that was so unexpected, and beyond belief, which caused most people never to know a miracle happened was the time Jesus changed his appearance that he might not be murdered.  

From this simple insight explained here, we should be willing to classify the miracles of Jesus into at least two different groups:  One group of miracles would be those that happened that most people never could believe happened, so the miracles were ignored. Those types of miracles require logic to reveal.  The second group of miracles would be those that most anyone upon seeing would say was a miracle, where the discernment needed would involve little or no thinking at all.   

When Jesus performed a miracle during the time he was about to be killed by being thrown off a steep cliff of a hill, which miracle allowed him to escape, which was where he transformed himself so he was not recognized, that miracle very possibly happened prior to changing water to wine.  The gospels talk about miracles without giving any specific description, then we read about one miracle that is not recognized by most people as a miracle, then finally we read about a miracle, that claims to be his first, but that miracle is told to be his first while at Cana.  

Returning to the miracle that most people never considered to be a miracle, but those people who were considerably more intelligent saw as plain as day that it was a miracle.  Simple logic tells us there is no other way possible for Jesus, who was protected only by himself, when surrounded by over a dozen people bent on his death, to escape unless he changed his appearance, and walked away:  Luke 4:30  "Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way."   Of course other verses  show Jesus could also vanish, but the verses here say Jesus merely walked away. 

This feat of Jesus by analogy parallels what Max said about our focusing on the physical world thereby forgetting the realities of the spiritual, and our having a muddled state of mind. This  miracle, which may have been performed before the first miracle of Jesus while he was at Cana, shows the manner in which Jesus escapes death when he is about to be killed the final time at the crucifixion, except at that time he changes the appearance of both himself, and another, who was Simon of Cyrene. 

Concerning the other miracles that were never described in any detail, (not those that were secret miracles) we read in the gospels that while in his home town of Nazareth, Jesus was unable to perform many miracles of healing due to the disbelief of the people there.  Because Jesus could not heal in Nazareth like he had in other towns then Jesus said to his town folk, Luke 4:23, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, `Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.' ''  

 That quote implies that at one level, which is obvious, that the town people thought if Jesus were to get his own life in order first, then they might be more believing.  Since Jesus had been absent from Nazareth for about 17 years, then to suddenly return without having a good excuse, like: while he was gone he got married, fathered several children,  and generated some prosperity all to show he was a good family man, and hard worker, then they might be more inclined to accept him.  Jesus could have said anything else, but he chose that quote because at another level, which the town folk did not understand, which is like the parables of Jesus, that he would in a manner of speaking “heal himself” by a transformation in order not to die.  Jesus had foreknowledge, so he hinted at the miracle he would perform before he performed it.   

The clear implication that the town folks had about Jesus was that he turned from being a good son, and a person respected among the community into a playboy, or a bum, who like the prodigal son had finally returned after losing it all. Jesus was on the mend, but the town folks expected him to fall again into his old ways, what ever they were during his long 17 year absence. 

Here are some more verses that show that Jesus was not very well known by his community.  Before reading them think about this:   Should we believe that Jesus was only a common person all the time that he lived in his community, but then suddenly after about 18 years in the community as a plain Joe that now he appears to be both a genius, and a great magician?   The community is wondering where did he get this power, so either they had not known him, and he just showed up after a long absence, or Jesus some how was a common Joe who overnight became a super star.  

 What makes more sense? 

   After all, if he lived right there in town for 18 years, they would have seen glimpses of this wondrous man doing great deeds before.  If that were true then they would not question him one bit, but if instead Jesus suddenly came home, and few recall who he was then is not that reason the better explanation for the following verses? :    Matthew 13: 54-56 “ And when He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?  And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?''
