Hill of Vision Mount Abiegnus: The Allegorical Ascent

Mount Abiegnus is a significant allegorical symbol, often referred to as the "Hill of Vision" or the "Mountain of Initiation." It is not a physical location, but rather a mystical representation of the journey of spiritual development and the attainment of higher knowledge.

In its symbolism, Abiegnus represents:

• Spiritual Attainment: The ascent of the mountain symbolizes the initiate's progress through various stages of spiritual purification and enlightenment, leading to the "celestial city" or a vision of truth beyond everyday perception.

• The Inner Sanctuary: It is a metaphor for the "interior sanctuary," a place of unity and truth that all seekers can reach through inner work, contemplation, and adherence to spiritual principles.

• A Source of Light: The mountain is associated with the capacity for light and the revelation of divine knowledge that helps elevate humanity.

• A Place of Transformation: The symbolism of the mountain relates to principles of transformation, representing the movement from the earthly to the spiritual, or the Great Work of achieving wisdom and balance.

                                                       The Distinction of Jesus vs. Christ the Foundation vs. Completion

  1. Jesus the Chief Cornerstone — Foundation

Jesus as Son of Man is the Author and Finisher of our faith as mankind, prepairing us for our ascension into the Kingdom of Heaven.  Jesus as Son of God pre-pairs us for ascension into Christ and the Kingdom of God.

“Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” (Ephesians 2:20)

 Architectural Insight: The cornerstone was the first stone laid, massive and squared, aligning the entire structure. Every other stone was measured against it.

 Spiritual Insight: Jesus, the Son of Man, is this cornerstone. He is the foundation of our faith, the beginning of alignment, the measure of truth and righteousness.

 Stage of Maturity:

 From Nepios, to Teknion, to Teknon: Jesus brings us into sonship as children of God.
  At this stage, we learn obedience, trust, and love. We are aligned to the foundation.

 Chakra Correlation: The heart centre awakens here. It is the seat of compassion, alignment, and measure.

 Evergreen Note (mdw): Too many teachings leap ahead to “Christ consciousness” while bypassing Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone. Ascension begins with Jesus. Without Him, there is no foundation, no alignment, no measure.

2. Christ the Capstone / Keystone — Completion

“…until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:13)

 Architectural Insight: The keystone is the wedge‑shaped stone at the top of an arch. It locks all stones into place, bearing the weight of the structure. The capstone is the final stone placed at the summit, completing the building.

 Spiritual Insight: Christ is this keystone. He is universal, dissolving earthly distinctions: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28). Chirst is Many, I Cor 12:12

 Stage of Maturity:

 Huios (mature son): Christ brings us into full maturity, the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. This is not childhood but completion.
NOTE:  Huios is Strong's # 5207

 Chakra Correlation: The crown centre blazes here. It is the seat of unity, universality, and completion.

 Evergreen Note (mdw): Christ is not sentimental unity. It is radical crucifixion of the flesh (Galatians 5:24), the dissolution of pride, coveting, and division:  polarity. Christ is the capstone of maturity.Jesus’ Fountain – The Living Source

                                                              Jesus’ Fountain – The Living Source

    Greek word: pēgḗ (#4077) – a spring, a fountain, a source that flows upward.

    Living Waters: Unlike the cistern, the fountain flows. It is not dug down into the earth but springs upward into everlasting life.

    Transition of Worthiness: Jesus says the time is now when the Father seeks such to be deemed worthy (John 4:23–24). You use “worthy” instead of “worship,” because the Father Jesus refers to is not Jehovah, but the Spiritual Father who calls seekers into maturity.

    Spiritual Ascent: To drink from this fountain is to move beyond tribal, and animal consciousness into causal life. It is the beginning of quickening—the shift to cooperating with the Spirit in the Ascension Process.

  Evergreen Note (mdw): The fountain is not about endless study but about living participation. It is the Spirit’s gift, springing up within,
transforming thirst into fullness.

3. The Crucifixion of the Flesh — Path to Unity

 Galatians 5:24: “They who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its susceptibilities and covetings.”  NOTE:  the phrase "have crucified" is G4717

stauroō From G4716; to impale on the cross; figuratively to extinguish (subdue) passion or selfishness: - crucify.

 Cause of Unity: Crucifixion of the flesh removes pride, coveting, division.

 Result of Unity: Galatians 3:28 — no earthly distinctions remain.

 Other Scriptures:

 Romans 6:6 — old self crucified, body of sin rendered powerless.

 Galatians 2:20 — “I have been crucified with Christ…”

 Colossians 3:5 — “Put to death whatever belongs to your earthly nature.”

 Colossians 3:11 — “Christ is all, and is in all.”

 1 Corinthians 12:13 — “We were all baptized by one Spirit into one body.”

 Evergreen Note (mdw): Unity is not the absence of difference—it is the death of division. Christ is all, and in all.

4. Ascension Ladder — From Foundation to Completion

 Jesus the Cornerstone: Foundation, nepios, teknion, teknon stage, heart centre.

 Christ the Capstone: Completion, huios stage, crown centre:  Huios.

 Unity in Christ: Crucifixion of the flesh → dissolution of divisions/polarities → one body, one Spirit.

5. Evergreen Commentary (mdw)

 Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone — the beginning, our Measure, the alignment, individuality.

 Christ is the Capstone/Keystone — the completion, the unity, the universality.

 Ascension is the journey from foundation to completion, from nepios, teknion, teknon to huios, from root to heart to crown.

 Leaving Jacob’s Well is only the first step. Ascension Hill is about rising into maturity, built on the Foundation of Jesus, completed in the Christ.

This module now gives you two cornerstone teachings for Ascension Hill:

1. Leaving Jacob’s Well (tribal consciousness → living waters).

2. Jesus vs. Christ (foundation → completion, teknon → huios, heart → crown).

VERY IMPORTANT:  when reading a scripture or especially a book that quotes scripture, always look and see who is speaking, the Foundation, the Chief Corner, Jesus Son of Man, or the Capstone, the Keystone  the Christ.  Many times even Spiritually mature writers mix these important distinctions.  Jesus was never referred to as Jesus Christ untill AFTER the Resurrection.

1. Jesushood  2.    Christhood  3.  Lordship -  Each stage requires Fulfillment and we cannot climb up some other way or take the Kingdom by force.

Critique of Exoteric Christianity: Dogma, ritual, and sectarianism are idolatry of the dead letter. True Christianity is esoteric, universal, and initiatory.

Exoteric = without, outside.  Esoteric = within, inside

Christos vs. Chrestos:

• Chrestos = the “good man,” the disciple undergoing trials, the initiate in process.

• Christos = the glorified Spirit of Truth, the divine principle realized within.

• Inner Christ Principle: Christ is not a historical figure to be awaited externally, but the divine Logos present in every human being.

• Warnings of False Christs: Gospel prophecies about “false Christs” refer to sectarian dogmatism and externalized religion, not mystics or Theosophists.

• Cycle of the Age: “End of the world” = consummation of a cycle, not annihilation.

  Universal Mystery Language: The Bible, like other scriptures, encodes truths in allegory and symbol, requiring “keys” (numerical, geometrical, psychic, etc.) to unlock.

• Blood and Life Symbolism: Myths of blood sacrifice (Belus, Dionysius) point to metaphysical truths about soul and consciousness, not literal rituals.

• Eating Flesh/Drinking Blood: Esoteric injunction = assimilation of divine life, not cannibalistic literalism.

Chrestos in Greek Usage:

• Found in classical writers (Herodotus, Aeschylus, Euripides).

• Meant “oracle‑consulted,” “good man,” “disciple,” “prophet.”

• Christos as the Goal: The “Way” is Christos; Chrestos is the traveler.

• Paul’s Esoteric Language: “Until Christ be formed in you” = inner realization, not external faith.

• Sibylline Prophecy: “Iesous Chreistos Theou Huios Soter Stauros” is a pagan initiatory formula, not a Christian prophecy.

• Mythological Parallels: Apollo, Janus/Ion, Asclepios (Soter, healer) show Christos as a continuation of solar and healing Archetypes.

• Karest (Egyptian Mummy‑Christ):

• Egyptian type of immortality, embalmed and seamless‑robed.

• Horus as Ma‑Kheru (“Word of Truth”) precedes Christ.  Jesus precedes Christ:  Click Here for more on this Vital Principle

• Lazarus in catacomb art = mummy‑type resurrection, not historical event.

• Initiatory Trials: Chrestos = neophyte enduring trials; Christos = adept united with divine principle;

• Anointing: Egyptian Horus anointed from the Tree of Life; Christian Christ continues this symbolism.

• Resurrection: Spiritual transformation, not physical re-animation.

Exoteric religion is for those who, in the very nature of the case,  are not yet able able to  grasp  "the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens”
He said to them, "The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you [who have teachable hearts], but [those who are outside G1854 = exō Thayer Definition:
without, out of doors] [the unbelievers, the spiritually blind] get everything in parables, Mar 4:11 AMPLIFIED Translatioon

A powerful and central concept in Biblical language, especially regarding the nature of sin and the Christian walk.

The phrase "hitting the mark" is often used to explain two key concepts in the New Testament:

🎯 1. The Goal: Pressing Toward the Mark of Christ

The Apostle Paul uses the imagery of a race or an athletic contest, where a runner strives for the finish line or a goal.

• Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV):

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.1"

• • Meaning: Here, the "mark" (Greek: \sigma\kappa \ skopon) is the finish line or the goal of spiritual maturity and the full realization of the Christian calling. Paul is describing an intense, focused effort to "hit the mark" by continuing to grow and pursue Christ.

🏹 2. Missing the Mark: The Definition of Sin

The most common Greek word for sin in the New Testament is (hamartia), which literally means "to miss the mark." This is an archery term, where the arrow fails to strike the intended target.

This concept is famously used to describe humanity's failure to meet God's standard:

• Romans 3:23 (KJV/NASB):

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

• • Greek Word: (hamartanō, the verb form of hamartia).

  • Meaning: To sin is not just about breaking a rule, but about failing to reach the intended target of God's design for human life, which is to reflect His perfect glory and character.

The two concepts together illustrate the spiritual life:

1. The Target: God's perfect standard and the goal of maturity in Christ (the Mark in Philippians 3:14).

2. The Reality: All humans, by their nature, fail to hit that mark (they Sin in Romans 3:23).

Would you like to explore another scripture related to the "mark" or the concept of spiritual discipline in the Bible?

That's a great question for exploring the New Testament's concept of completeness or maturity rather than just "flawlessness."  Whether we are a paidion growing toward teknion-stature, or a teknon reaching forth toward full stature as a Huios, each stage of our growth, Ascension, requires completion, a perfecting [teleiotēs] before moving on.  

The main variations of the word "perfection" in the New Testament come from the Greek root telos (meaning "end" or "goal") and its related words.

Here are the key Greek words often translated as "perfection" or a related term, along with their Strong's number and a summary of their translation:

🏛️ Greek Words for Perfection in the NT

Strong's Number:  G5047 τελειότης (teleiotēs) Noun, Feminine

Perfection, Completeness, Maturity. It refers to the state of having reached full growth or completeness (e.g., in Colossians 3:14 and Hebrews 6:1).

Strong's Number:  G5050  τελείωσις (teleiōsis)  Noun, Feminine

Completion, Perfection, Fulfillment. This noun focuses on the act or final stage of completion, often referring to prophetic fulfillment or the finality of Christ's work (e.g., Luke 1:45, Hebrews 7:11).

Related Terms for Context

Other closely related words from the same root that are often translated as "perfect," "perfected," or "perfecter" are crucial for a full understanding:

• G5046 | τέλειος (teleios) | Adjective | Perfect, Complete, Mature, Full-grown. Used to describe a state of maturity, having reached the intended goal or end (telos). For instance, in Matthew 5:48, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect," it denotes being complete or mature in love, not sinless in an absolute sense.

• G5048 | τελειόω (teleioō) | Verb | To bring to an end, to complete, to perfect. This verb describes the process of perfecting or completing, often used in Hebrews to describe Christ's finished work in making believers complete (e.g., Hebrews 10:14).

• G5051 | τελειωτής (teleiōtēs) | Noun, Masculine | Perfecter, Finisher, Completer. Used only once in the New Testament to refer to Jesus: "the author and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2).

Next let's look at Colossians 3:14 and Matthew 5:48 as examples, as they use two of the main Greek words for "perfection" or "completeness."

1. Colossians 3:14 (The Noun: teleiotēs)

This verse uses the noun G5047 and illustrates the concept of perfection as completeness or full maturity that unites virtues.

• Verse (KJV): "And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness."

• Verse (NASB): "Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity."

• Greek Word: τελειότης (teleiotēs)

• Strong's Number: G5047

• Translation/Definition: Perfection, Completeness, Maturity, Perfectness.

  • Context: The verse urges believers to "put on" virtues (compassion, kindness, humility, etc., from verses 12-13). Love (agapē) is described as the bond that holds all these virtues together, bringing them to their complete or finished state (perfection/unity). The idea is that Christian love is the goal that makes all other virtues complete and effective.

2. Matthew 5:48 (The Adjective: teleios)

This verse uses the adjective form G5046, which focuses on the state of being complete or mature.

• Verse (NASB): "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

• Greek Word: τέλειος (teleios)

• Strong's Number: G5046

• Translation/Definition: Perfect, Complete, Mature, Full-grown.

  • Context: This verse concludes Jesus's teaching on loving your enemies (Matthew 5:44-47). The command to be "perfect" here means to be complete or mature in your love, just as God's love is complete (impartial) because He allows His sun and rain to fall on both the just and the unjust. It refers to reaching the intended goal or aim of God's design for your character.

Another example using the verb form teleioō (to perfect)?

Let's look at a key verse in the Book of Hebrews that uses the verb form G5048 to describe the process of perfecting.

Hebrews 10:14 (The Verb: teleioō)

This verse emphasizes the finality and completeness of Christ's sacrifice, contrasting it with the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament law.

• Verse (KJV): "For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."

• Verse (NASB): "For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."

• Greek Word: τελειόω (teleioō)

• Strong's Number: G5048

• Translation/Definition: To bring to an end, to complete, to perfect, to finish.

  • Context: The context of Hebrews is that the Old Testament sacrificial system was incomplete because the sacrifices had to be offered year after year (Hebrews 10:1-3). Jesus's single sacrifice is described as the ultimate completion (teleioō). His work didn't just forgive sins, it made those who accept Him completely perfect (in terms of standing before God) for all time.

This shows that in the New Testament, "perfection" is often about completeness or fulfillment, whether referring to a moral goal (teleios in Matthew), the unifying bond of love (teleiotēs in Colossians), or the finished, complete redemptive work of Christ (teleioō in Hebrews).

My choice of the Farm image:  to me it depicts what Jesus states, that The parable of the Sower is the most important of all His Sayings to understand all His Teachings, Mark 4:11, and therefore a Portal into the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God.

The Alpha/Omega icon:  Frist, a Revelation for you if you are not familiar, Love is the both the Good Ground in the Parable of the Sower, and also the Fruit of the Spririt.  And, The Alpha and Omega of all sincere religion is Love.  The Alpha, beginning(s) of all Ascension Teaching contains the Seed of Omega Ascension, which if planted and cultivated in the  appropriate soil bears and Blossoms into the fruit Leading us into our Higher Nature and Higher Calling(s).

The Approved Workman image:  Understanding what is meant in 2 Tim 2:15 is such a Necessity.  Look at the material in the next drop down below, where just by  taking apart one word in the verse you can get an Idea of how Deep most of verses really are.

Why the meaning of Stand within the Greek word translated "shew or show" in 2 Tim 2:15?  

2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

Let's look directly at Strong's Concordance and see if we can "SEE" more:  The word translated "dividing" G3718 - orthotomeō Pronounced "or-thot-om-eh'-o"

From a compound of G3717 and the base of G5114; to make a straight cut, that is, (figuratively) to dissect (expound) correctly (the divine message): - rightly divide.

Look at G3717:  G3717 - orthos Pronounced or-thos'

Probably from the base of G3735; right (as rising), that is, (perpendicularly) erect (figuratively honest), or (horizontally) level or direct: - straight, upright. 

How about G3735:  G3735 - oros Pronounced or'-os

Probably a from an obsolete word ὄρω orō (to rise or “rear”; perhaps akin to G142; compare G3733); a mountain (as lifting itself above the plain): - hill, mount (-ain).

And now G142:  G142 - airō Pronounced ah'ee-ro

A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin: - away with, bear (up), carry, lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up).

And Finally "H" for a Hebrew word or Old Testament version of this word:  H5375 nâśâ' nâsâh Pronounced naw-saw', naw-saw'

A primitive root; to lift, in a great variety of applications, literally and figuratively, absolutely and relatively: - accept, advance, arise, (able to, [armour], suffer to) bear (-er, up), bring (forth), burn, carry (away), cast, contain, desire, ease, exact, exalt (self), extol, fetch, forgive, furnish, further, give, go on, help, high, hold up, honourable (+ man), lade, lay, lift (self) up, lofty, marry, magnify, X needs, obtain, pardon, raise (up), receive, regard, respect, set (up), spare, stir up, + swear, take (away, up), X utterly, wear, yield.

If you Study hard enough and long enough you will come to find other Disciples have long understood that this verse is about Raising the Dead Letter into the Living Word.  Lifting the horizontal Word out of its coffin and Standing it Upright in Its Divine Context. Lifting the Logos into a Spiritual context in order to Share with those who have spiritual capacity, See 1 Cor chapter Two.

The Greek Language is too Elaborate to be contained within the King James or any truncated translation and still bring forth the Depth of the Original Meaning(s) contained in the Manuscripts. 

Here is the translation of 2 Tim 2:15 from Jonathan Mitchell:  Make haste, with earnest endeavor and diligence, to place yourself alongside as an approved workman in God (or: to present yourself to God as a tried and approved workman), one without cause for shame, consistently cutting a straight [path cf Prov. 3:6 & 11:5, LXX in, or with] the Word of the Truth (or: habitually cutting an upright and erect [line through] the Word of Truth; continually cutting with the Word of truth in a straight direction; constantly making a straight cut or: wound with the speech of the Truth; also = dealing straightforwardly with the discourse of the Truth; repeatedly dividing and marking out straight boundaries by the Word of Truth). 

The Logos is in effect dead or asleep just as we are when we are born as Spiritual Beings into this body, soma, of flesh.  We have to be Awakened out or our coffins as well.  Being Woke is a very good thing:  "Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light!  Ephesians 5:14 Message Translation

We'll leave this one word translated "show" in 2 Tim 2:15 with a warning from the Wisdom Teachings:  "The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead, Proverbs 21:16 KJV.

It all starts with our preparation as Followers of Jesus Christ.  Everything is about Transformation and Transcendence. Count the Cost,  Isn't it interesting that Jesus alerts His followers to count the cost of their Journey by relating a story of building a Tower Luke 14:28-30.   Maybe the Tower of Siloam fell, Luke 13:4, 5 for this reason?  Luke 13:4, 5 is a Warning to repent, literally to turn around.

John 8:31–32 — Logos, Alētheia, and Ginosko

 1. Continuing in the Logos

•      Logos (#3056): The living Word, the discourse of Jesus, the rational principle of divine truth.

•      Alethōs (#230): “Indeed”—from alēthēs (#227), meaning genuine, unconcealed, unveiled.

•      Evergreen Note (mdw): To be a disciple “indeed” is to live in unveiled reality, not shadow. Continuing in the Logos is the condition for discipleship.

2. Knowing the Truth

•      Alētheia (#225): Truth as “that which is not hidden,” from a- (without) + lanthanō (#2990) (to be hid, unawares). Truth is unveiling.

•      Ginosko (#1097): Experiential knowing, not abstract knowledge. To come into union with unveiled reality.

•      Evergreen Note (mdw): Liberation comes not from hearing truth once, but from entering into a ginosko of alētheia—experiencing unveiled reality until it transforms.

3. The Process of Liberation

•      Incarnation into Mortality: We begin as “walking dead,” involuted into decay and death.

•      First Light: Christ shines upon us (epiphauō #2017), reflected truth (alētheia #225), not yet the full blaze of phōs.

•      Continuing: As we abide in the Logos, unveiled truth becomes experiential knowledge (ginosko).

•      Liberation: This process liberates us from ignorance, division, and bondage.

4. Evergreen Commentary (mdw)

•      Truth (alētheia) is unveiling—removing the veil of ignorance.

•      Knowing (ginosko) is experiential union with unveiled reality.

•      Liberation is not instant—it is the process of continuing in the Logos until unveiled truth becomes lived knowledge.  The Logos must become flesh in our lives a            well.

•      Ascension Hill must teach seekers that freedom is not a shortcut, but the fruit of abiding, unveiling, and experiential knowing.

This module ties directly into our broader framework:

•      Jacob’s Well: doctrine without unveiling → continued thirst.

•      Jesus the Cornerstone: foundation of Logos → discipleship indeed.

•      Christ the Capstone: completion in unveiled unity → liberation through ginosko of alētheia.

 Wisdom from the Spirit

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of (this world-the Jewish System*), nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 1 Cor 2:6,7 KJV

*Remember:  Paul considered the entire Jewish System as "dung", worthless:  But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Philippians 3:7-8 KJV

NOTE:  If you have personally committed to the Path that Leads to Perfection, you are now among the Perfected ones; those committed to the Perfection of Matthew 5:48

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. Psa 119:67 KJV
When you corrected me, it did me good because it taught me to study your laws.  Psa 119:71 Contemporary English Version

Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God (as Law-mdw), and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts. Jer 2:19 KJV

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Isa 30:20-21 KJV

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. Prov 21:16 KJV  The Greek O.T. Septuigent, uses the word righteousness instead of understanding.  If you take the time to study both words in their context you can see that they understanding only comes lawfulluy, or to the ones choosing the righteous Path. I sense that the wandering out of the way gives a great insight to what happens to the "wayside" seed, they end up - mdw

LAW, THE "The Law is the sum total of all the laws of nature and life: the constant relationships of matter, motion, and consciousness, expressive of the nature of primordial matter and of omnipotent, inexhaustible, eternally dynamic primordial force, acting in its blind way in the imperturbable and inevitable constant relationships of nature and life.

"Of this Law, science has not yet explored more than an infinitesimal fraction.

"There are laws in everything and everything is expressive of law. The gods themselves are subject to the Law. Omnipotence is possible only through absolutely faultless application of the laws in their entirety.

"In primordial matter (the chaos of the ancients) there are no laws manifest. They only appear in connection with the composition of the atoms in the cosmos.
"The further the limits of subjective and objective consciousness are extended, the more laws are discovered. Only the monads of the highest divine kingdom have knowledge of all the laws of the universe and are able to apply them correctly with unfailing precision.
"Laws of nature concern matter and motion and laws to life concern the consciousness aspect." K 1.41.1ff

LAW OF NATURE "Laws of nature concern matter and motion and laws f life concern the consciousness aspect." K 1.41.6

LAWS OF LIFE "Laws of nature concern matter and motion, and laws of life concern the consciousness aspect.
"The laws of life most important to mankind are the laws of freedom, unity, development, self (self-realization), destiny, reaping, and activation."
"Those most important for the individual are: the laws of freedom, unity, self, and activation - especially the first two."
"The laws of life make possible the greatest possible freedom and unerring justice for all. Freedom, or power, is the individual’s divine, inalienable right. It is acquired through knowledge of the Law and through unfailing application of the laws. Freedom (power) and law are the conditions of each other. Development implies purposefully applied activity in accordance with the Law. Otherwise the cosmos would degenerate into chaos." K 1.41.15f
