Gospel 5: The Seven Sacraments of Transformation
The seven aspects of the cosmic cross not only give rise to the Seven Cosmic Commandments but also to the Seven Sacraments of Life, historically known as 1) baptism, 2) confirmation, 3) confession, 4) communion, 5) Holy Orders, 6) anointing of the sick, and 7) marriage.
These Seven Sacraments effectively summarize the process of life. When divided into their inward/masculine and outward/feminine sub-parts, they create no less than thirteen highly unique aspects of the complete process of life and death, from someone’s birth in one incarnation to the birth in the next.
Consequently, baptism corresponds to thinking energy and phases one and two; confirmation equals communication energy and phases three and four; confession is about creativity and phases five and six; communion is about feeling energy and phases seven and eight; Holy Orders is about reaching the peak of life in terms of knowing, before crossing over and beginning the planning for the next incarnation, that is, phases nine and eleven; while anointing the sick refers to the devotion to reflecting God even better by completing the preparations ahead of the next incarnation.
Lastly, the Sacrament of marriage refers to living a balanced life, allowing each phase to be filled with the activities that life supports at that moment.
In summary, the purpose of Gospel 5 is to clarify the full cycle of a human life, which encompasses both life and death.
1. Baptism
‘Creating a vision for your life and a plan to get there by developing your thinking through proper childcare (1-10) and education (11-20).’
Understanding baptism
By pouring water on a child’s head – the center of masculine and feminine thinking energy – the Christian lineage unconsciously kicked off the first phase of earthly life, which, as always, can be divided into an inward/masculine and outward/feminine component, in this case related to childcare and education.
Learning to think independently of others
The key to mastering thinking is to ground yourself in an earthly life, which takes about ten years to do properly, though the first two years are the most critical.
Unless you feel very safe during the first two years of your life, which requires a nurturing mother and a protective father, you will fail to connect with your soul’s wisdom and begin to desire the wrong things in life.
Therefore, the first ten years of a person’s life, especially the first two, require the traditional family environment.
Of course, a nine-year-old person doesn’t have a clear vision of their future, but if properly grounded, they will already have visions and dreams that will prove to be true later on.
Paradisical childcare
Paradisial childcare is very simple in the sense that small children are highly adaptable and make little noise if they have a fair chance to sleep and eat, which requires a grounded and nurturing mother, which, in turn, requires a strong and protective father.
However, in our modern Western societies, mothers tend to be ungrounded and stressed, while fathers tend to be even more ungrounded and disconnected from their emotions, suggesting that their protective side isn’t so helpful in making a mother feel safe, which ultimately causes the child to feel unsafe and needy.
Consequently, achieving harmonious family dynamics follows the same protocol as all other aspects of earthly life, namely healing.
Paradisical education
The most important part of a child’s education doesn’t happen in school but in the family and in friendships.
The school is like a cherry on the top, where a child has the chance to learn everything they need to thrive in life, such as reading, thinking mathematically, understanding how our societies are built, and so on.
To do this in a joyful way, it is critical that all children have a fair chance to study what they feel drawn to.
If this is impossible, meaning a child must learn what someone else has decided is good for them to learn, they quickly lose motivation to expand unless this motivation is stimulated in unhealthy ways, according to the ancient carrot-and-stick approach.
2. Confirmation
‘Receiving financial support for higher education (21-30) and for creating a home and family (31-40).’
Understanding confirmation
From a higher perspective, confirmation isn’t about confirming your religious beliefs but about confirming that you will fulfill your earthly mission later in life, which you prepare for through higher education and by grounding yourself even more by creating a home and maybe a family.
Thanks to your confirmation, expressed by your dedication to learning more and grounding yourself, societies must provide you with financial support before you can earn enough money to pay back.
A healthy financial system
A healthy financial system must enable young people to borrow money for their education and home, which they will pay back later, when they fulfill their earthly mission, particularly between forty and sixty, the period in their lives influenced by the most creativity energy.
From a higher perspective, a healthy financial system can be summarized by the Second Cosmic Commandment, which says, ‘express your truth and respect others’ truth.’
How? – In that a financial system should ultimately distribute resources to those who speak the truth rather than to those who manipulate the system, trying to receive more money than what is fair, given the extent to which their work supports the process of life.
In our societies, there is infinite confusion about what value is, which leads the power of supply and demand to work against what is healthy and fair.
For example, it creates huge gaps between people’s incomes, supporting those who are strong and sometimes unscrupulous at the expense of those who are weak and sometimes naïve.
In paradise, a financial system can only support what is cosmically true, meaning those who speak a high level of truth and respect other people, regardless of their level of truth.
The problem with inflation and how to cure it
When inflation is high, the prices of, for example, houses and apartments increase, making it much more difficult for a younger generation to buy a house like their parents did, while their parents become disproportionately wealthy.
In short, inflation is unfair because it benefits those who own houses, attractive things, and productive assets, and harms those who are young and cannot offer more than a confirmation of their intentions to do good later.
But why do we have inflation to begin with? It is because of an unhealthy flow of energy, driven primarily by three factors, as listed below:
People’s inability to live from the inside out makes everyone want to live in the same neighborhood, wear the same designer clothes, and eat the same food, which skews the balance between supply and demand and forces prices to go up on the most sought-after goods.
Friction between nations creates fearful behavior that blocks the flow of energy. For example, it makes countries invest in warfare, which drives up the prices for various materials, energy, labor, and more.
The idea that we are unsafe makes people hoard essentials and pay more than is reasonable.
As discussed in Chapter 1, just as with unhealthy families, the only solution to these problems is healing, which gradually helps people see reality with new eyes and do things slightly differently.
3. Confession
‘Delivering your life mission in two major phases, between 41-50 and 51-60.’
Understanding confession
We have no sins to confess in paradise, but we do have obligations, precisely to fulfill what we came here to do, and life will help us do so in every possible way.
Phase one of your life mission
The first phase of your life mission, around ages 41 to 50, is dominated by masculine creativity energy, suggesting a focus on what you enjoy and being as productive as possible.
This isn’t the time to reach as many people as possible, which will come later, but a time to really get your hands dirty by going deeper into your passions.
Phase two of your life mission
In the second phase of your life mission, you are called to step up and demonstrate your skills to as many as possible, depending, of course, on the type of mission you have.
In this phase, dominated by the outward/feminine aspect of creativity energy, you will earn the most money, which you will use to pay back the loans you were granted upon confirming to life what you are here to do.
In the traditional understanding of this Sacrament, confession refers to admitting various sins to a priest, while from a higher perspective it obviously relates to confessing your debts and paying them back.
4. Communion
‘Enjoying life as a senior citizen by slowing down workwise (61-70) and simply thriving in life (71-80).’
Understanding communion
xCommunion isn’t about eating Jesus’ blood and body, represented by wine and bread, but about feeling the bliss of being alive, which you can focus on most after fulfilling your earthly mission and potentially taking a more passive role, enjoying everything that brings you bliss.
The true meaning of the word communion
From a higher perspective, the word communion can be best translated as ‘union through shared beliefs,’ which also fairly well explains how it has been used in the past, as a ritual to remember and worship the deeds of Jesus.
However, what shared beliefs could we hold in paradise, and how could they relate to becoming a senior citizen?
To understand this, we must acknowledge the importance of the elderly in creating stability, something indigenous people, despite being rather primitive and superstitious in many ways, understood.
It simply doesn’t make sense to have young people run the show when there are older ones around who have far more wisdom and are better equipped to make the right decisions.
Because of this, slowing down your work life should entail taking on the most important but less intense roles, such as chairing boards and advising business leaders and politicians.
Thriving in life
Thriving in life is, of course, something you should do every day, from the moment you are born until you die, and even after you die. However, few phases invite you to this as clearly as the one dominated by feminine feeling energy, which is not about feeling yourself and sharing that wisdom, as in the previous phase, but about truly feeling others, including maybe your own grandchildren, and being there just for them.
5. Holy Orders
‘Reaching the peak of your earthly wisdom (81-90), before you cross over and initiate a new cycle detached from your earthly life.’
Understanding Holy Orders
The Sacrament Holy Orders refers to reaching a position in society where you have the power to guide others, historically as a priest and later as a scientist.
In paradise, one way to experience this phase of your life is to serve as an inspiration to your grandchildren.
Being a beacon of light for others
If you don’t suffer from unprocessed emotions, so-called trauma, which creates disease in the flow of energy through your seven-dimensional cosmic vehicle – your body – aging is the most beautiful thing, especially if you can be around people you love.
In fact, before you die, you have so much to give, not by creating or even by feeling life, but by radiating pure knowing energy, the purest a human can reach.
Such a person is a blessing to everyone, especially to young children, who, when protected a bit from overly stimulating technology, cherish the stories only someone who has lived a long life can share.
The process of dying
Paradisical death occurs when you are ready for it, meaning when you feel the calling to begin new adventures and start planning for them.
This process represents the complete detachment from your earthly life.
Beginning a new cycle of life
Just as a ‘dead’ seed often must endure a winter to begin to live again, a process known as cold stratification, so must humans experience a period completely detached from life before being reborn.
In this context, this phase is represented by the number eleven and the onset of winter, still a few ‘months’ before a new ‘spring’ arrives, signifying a rebirth on Earth.
On a practical level, this phase entails that a cosmic being, now without a physical body, re-experiences its earthly life from the highest possible perspective, which accentuates the lessons already learned and generates inspiration for what to experience in the next life.
The ultimate knowing
While each cycle of life leads to a higher knowing, or more accurate beliefs about God’s essence, nothing can match what you experience after dying.
Although it is difficult to describe this feeling exactly, it can best be likened to those dreams in which you experience the truth of, for example, your relationship with another person, without all the confusing elements of earthly drama.
The purpose of experiencing life from this perspective is to see where you need to grow more, which sets the scene for your upcoming incarnation.
6. Anointing the Sick
‘Preparing for a new incarnation and being born again.’
Understanding Anointing the Sick
In the old times, anointing the sick was a ritual to prepare someone for death.
However, while there is no need to prepare for death, there certainly is a need to prepare for your next incarnation.
Being as close to God as possible
In the two final phases before you are reborn again, described by the numbers twelve and thirteen and dominated by devotion energy, the energy of minerals that signifies beings entirely detached from earthly life, you prepare for your next incarnation.
While resting in God’s ‘waiting room,’ you gradually choose critical elements of your next life, such as where to be born geographically, in which family, and at what precise time, all of which influence how your personality will develop, what you will experience, and which lessons you will learn.
While doing this, your only earthly presence is your soul, meaning the bones of your physical body that have now merged with the vast soul of Mother Earth.
7. Marriage
Understanding marriage
Marriage used to be a sacred and binding agreement between a man and a woman to avoid all kinds of societal challenges, including fatherless children and prostituted women.
However, from a higher perspective, marriage is the unity of all people on Earth, which equals the notion of world peace or paradise.
Creating world peace
There are many perspectives on world peace presented in the fourth and final Christian Testament; however, one critical perspective is that the first six Sacraments are essential to fulfill, or people will fail to align with the rhythm of the cosmic heart.
Of course, there are other aspects to consider in creating peace beyond the Sacraments, but they lead to six critical insights, one per core energy, as presented below:
Thinking can only be healthy if children are born into a nurturing and safe world, where they can connect with their own soul and begin to see a path ahead.
Communication can only be healthy if young adults are allowed to express their truth, which essentially entails having a fair chance to study the things they are truly interested in and to live a grounded, happy life, two things that are entirely related to their financial means.
Creativity can only be healthy if people are properly prepared for it; otherwise, they will put their energy into the wrong things, which will neither create happiness for themselves nor for others.
Feeling life can only be healthy when someone has created a lot and has the inner peace to relax and turn inwards, suggesting the most influential roles in society must be played by people who have reached a mature age.
Knowing life requires a very mature age and even dying to reach the highest possible perspective, suggesting that humans must always remain humble while participating in an earthly drama.
Don’t believe that the ultimate devotion to life happens on Earth, but rather after you die and before you are reborn. This is the time when you truly understand what you must pursue in your next life to grow, and whether you succeed depends largely on how grounded you will be, meaning how connected you can be with your soul after you are reborn. This suggests that you are never more evolved than your ability to live a grounded, normal life shows.
Studying the Seven Cosmic Sacraments
The Seven Sacraments offer powerful insights into the process of life, beyond its most obvious aspects represented by our physical incarnations on Earth.
This is an area that has been clouded by confusion for centuries. For example, the reincarnation process was part of early Christian beliefs, but it was eradicated by strong opinions in the years after the Roman Empire collapsed.
Although the third Christian Testament acknowledges reincarnation, it didn’t describe it correctly, as presented by the Seven Cosmic Sacraments.
