Insights into the Cosmic Cross
Becoming Truly Enlightened
Understanding Angels
Understanding Minerals
Understanding Love
In the final major part of The Fourth Testament, we aim to summarize everything that has been said while going deeper into most topics.
Read this part as an invitation to go even deeper into the mysteries of life, if you feel inclined, or focus mainly on the illustrative stories to remember what you have already absorbed.
The analysis of these stories can be deeper than presented here, as the intention has been to keep it as short as possible, respecting the modern human’s limited attention span.
1. Your Seven-Dimensional Essence
The cosmic cross reveals that all beings are seven-dimensional replicas of God’s essence, symbolized by the cosmic heart. However, this information can be understood from many perspectives.
Let me now explain three entirely different yet equally true perspectives on who we are.
We are the Merkaba
A Merkaba, or lightbody, is a term for the aura or energy field that surrounds our physical body, formed by two interlocking, opposite-pointing tetrahedrons (three-sided pyramids) that rotate in opposite directions.
For this reason, water and wind, among other things, deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, a phenomenon known as the Coriolis Effect.
This lightbody consists of various octaves or frequency bands of the six core energies we know as thinking, communication, creativity, feeling, knowing, and devotion, spanning from physical to spiritual.
This is the same as saying that our brain, throat, muscle tissue, internal organs, genitals, and skeletal structure exist in various dimensions, with the most essential dimension not being the physical but the spiritual, into which Seeds of Life enters creation as non-physical matter, gravitating toward what we often call ‘reality.’
We are thirteen-dimensional beings
Claiming that we are thirteen-dimensional beings is just as true as saying we are seven-dimensional. It is simply a more granular perspective that encompasses both the inward and outward aspects of the six core energies.
For this reason, we can talk about our brain, which exists in many frequency spectra, octaves, or dimensions, as both masculine and feminine, meaning capable of handling both rational and abstract information.
We can talk about our ability to communicate as both inward- and outward-oriented, meaning focused on expressing ourselves and listening to others.
We can understand our creative capacity by distinguishing between internal-oriented (automatic) and external-oriented (not yet automatic) uses of our muscles. For example, our heartbeat is automatic and masculine, while actively and intentionally kissing someone is ‘manual’ and feminine.
As a being evolves, bodily functions gradually become automatic through repetition, creating space for new learning. For example, consider how a human, in contrast to a plant, has learned to breathe automatically, thereby replacing a plant’s ‘hard work’ of absorbing nutrients from the ground with the ability to move freely and explore the world in an entirely new way.
Furthermore, we can understand our ability to feel as either inward- or outward-focused, meaning capable of sensing what is going on within ourselves and within others.
If we continue to the reproductive organs – our ability to create miracles, better known as our angelic side – the inward aspect relates to creating new life as replicas of ourselves, just as creation is a replica of the cosmic heart, while the outward aspect relates to our ability to express divinity by channeling angels and other enlightened beings through, for example, music, art, and lovemaking.
Lastly, through our bones, which represent a vast part of our soul, we both have the ability to remember our individual soul’s journey, thus manifesting our entire cosmic vehicle described in this chapter and to understand our divine essence beyond our ego or layers of confusion.
We are multidimensional
We are multidimensional in more than one way. For example, we have several body parts existing in various frequencies, and we are ultimately one being, suggesting that all souls represent a unique perspective or dimension of life.
So, what is the most accurate way to view our multidimensionality?
Before I answer this question, let me say that different perspectives make sense to different people. In The Fourth Testament, I’m presenting the perspective that makes the most sense to most people, assuming they can humble themselves and recognize that more advanced perspectives usually generate more questions that create confusion rather than help someone entering paradise.
In other words, there are more sophisticated ways to describe a human being, but do they make it easier for you to live a paradisical life?
In summary, you represent a plant, an animal, a human, a compassionate being, an enlightened being, and a divine being, all tied together by a heart, as illustrated by the cosmic cross.
Furthermore, you were born from the cosmic heart as a Seed of Life, with the capacity to think, communicate, create, feel, know, and devote yourself to life, and you have evolved for eons through the Eternal Spiral of Life.
In the capacity of a plant, represented by your brain, which exists in many frequencies or dimensions, you can think, meaning picking up vibrations around you and interpreting their meaning
As an animal, you can communicate by expressing your desires and by understanding the rules at play.
As a human being, you have the inherent capacity to transform thoughts and communication into tangible output, whether physical or nonphysical, making you a divine creator.
However, in the capacity of a compassionate being, you also have the ability to feel the results of your creations, both within and outside yourself, meaning whether they make you and others happier and healthier.
In the capacity of an enlightened being, you can perform miracles such as birthing new life and channeling divinity through various cultural expressions.
And as a divine being, you have access to everything that has been happening within creation since it was first born.
Lastly, through your heart, you are seamlessly connected not only with the plant, animal, human, compassionate being, enlightened being, and divine being that you represent, but with all beings that exist.
Through your Monad or Higher Self, you are connected with all plants, animals, and humans, especially with the other souls in your soul oversoul, along with another eleven oversouls, forming a critical unity of 144 human souls.
Likewise, you are particularly closely connected with twelve compassionate beings, of which one you will eventually merge your soul with, two enlightened beings, and ultimately with Mother Earth and the physical structure of the entire universe.
Conclusions
There are many possible ways to understand our nature, some more accurate and purposeful than others. However, the most accurate and, for most people, the most helpful, is to view ourselves as a replica of the cosmic heart, meaning a being that resembles the supreme father, the supreme mother, the capacity to give birth to new life, and an ever-changing composition of energy.
However, as a human being, you are far more human than God’s other five sides. And you are far more animalistic and compassionate than you are intelligent and all-knowing. However, less than anything else, you are a divine being, meaning you are almost entirely incapable of remembering your past lives.
In short, you are a perfect replica of God, currently existing in the human world and gradually becoming more compassionate and less animalistic.
2. The Driving Force of Evolution
The story of the Easter Bunny who became Santa Claus
Once upon a time, the Easter Bunny unexpectedly hatched from an unusually vast egg and began his evolutionary journey toward perfecting the art of initiating new projects.
At about the same time, Santa Claus emerged from a giant Christmas present, beginning her evolutionary journey toward becoming a beacon of light, carrying the vibration of oneness more than anyone else.
These two characters, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, were so fundamentally different that they had difficulty getting along.
When the Easter Bunny wanted to start something new, Santa Claus preferred to go even deeper into the present moment to experience it more fully. When she finally was ready to move on, the Easter Bunny had already grown weary and moved on to something even newer.
Why was the Easter Bunny so restless? And why was Santa Claus so absorbed in the present moment? The answer is that the Easter Bunny was an archetypal man, while Santa Claus was an archetypal woman.
Understanding Easter
During Easter, Jesus was both crucified and resurrected, while Moses led his people out of slavery in Egypt toward the promised land of Israel/Palestine.
We can say that Easter is a moment of new beginnings, implying it is also a time of endings.
However, more than anything else, Easter is the number one, suggesting that it marks the beginning of life, which, of course, is also the reason Jesus was conceived at this time, precisely nine months before Christmas.
In the Christian mythology, or cosmic teaching through parables, Easter represents the Supreme Father, while Christmas represents the Supreme Mother.
The fact that we have connected Christmas with the male figure Santa Claus is just another example of how people within a patriarchy understand reality. Therefore, from here on, we will refer to Santa Claus, short for Santa Nicolaus, as Santa Nicolina.
Understanding Christmas
While Easter represents new beginnings, Christmas represents the rewards of learning new things, which we call enlightenment, and was symbolized by the birth of God’s son and the new star in the sky – the Star of Bethlehem.
Could it be clearer that life is a process in which you face challenges before you learn to do things correctly? – Of course, it could, but how can you teach someone who lives in an animalistic reality that all your challenges are ultimately good for you, when viewed from a higher perspective? It’s impossible until life has become pleasant enough for you to at least open your mind to the idea that life is perfect as it is.
In the old days, when life was much harsher than it is for many people today, especially in the West, Christmas was the exception to the rule that life is tough, even though suffering is still quite common in Africa, South America, and Asia.
Christmas was a time when family and friends united and shared a good time, despite their many wounds that usually triggered endless drama. How could this be? What brought people together during Christmas and still does so in today’s world? It is, of course, the energy of Santa Nicolina, an angel who infuses people with more love during this time of year.
When we say that Christmas vibrates with the frequency of enlightenment, the real meaning is that life invites humanity to connect with one another during this time, not so different from how life sometimes invites two people to connect by helping them ‘fall in love’ with each other.
So, enlightenment and falling in love are closely related, suggesting that evolution, which is a process of becoming gradually more enlightened, is driven by everyone’s desire to love more.
Understanding evolution
Love varies greatly depending on where you are in the Eternal Spiral of Life, as illustrated by symbol 5.
For plants, creating love or greater harmony is achieved by reaching deeper into the earth and higher, that is, by occupying more space to purify the planet, making it more inhabitable for more evolved species such as animals and humans. Their ultimate desire is to become more free – unconsciously expressed through their ability to adapt to the environment they live in – meaning to become animals.
In contrast to plants, animals generate more harmony in life by killing others, thus keeping the populations of various species in balance. However, their ultimate dream is to become so sophisticated that they can contribute to harmony by communicating their needs in a cosmically correct way instead of through primitive instincts, meaning becoming humans.
Humans achieve harmony on Earth by actively creating love through art, businesses, and new technology that vibrate with the frequency of cosmic truth. Until they can do that, they are merely advanced animals still learning the art of communicating with themselves and others. However, their ultimate dream is to perfectly understand themselves and the world they live in, meaning evolving into compassionate beings.
From the perspective of compassionate beings, love means feeling life and their ultimate dream entails becoming pure reflections of cosmic truth, meaning evolving into enlightened beings like angels.
From the perspective of an angel, who essentially designs creation, enlightenment can only be achieved through rest, implying becoming a truly divine being, experiencing life from an entirely detached perspective, and creating love by providing others with a physical structure in which to live.
Lastly, from the perspective of a divine being such as a mineral, enlightenment is achieved by once more entering creation, this time in a feminine form if the previous spiral cycle was experienced from a masculine perspective, although the switch in polarity happened already at the stage of being an angel.
This essentially explains how an Easter Bunny became Santa Nicolina, that is, how a child of God evolved from plant to animal to human to compassionate being to enlightened being to divine being, and, in the process, changed its gender from masculine to feminine.
By understanding this mind-blowingly vast cosmic cycle – the biggest of them all – you can also better understand the, for you, more relevant cycle of one earthly year. Let me clarify.
If you are a man, living through the nine months between the spring equinox and Christmas will make you slightly more feminine, and if you are a woman, it will make you slightly more masculine.
This process of changing gender or polarity, represented by the number eleven having a different energy than the number one, reaches its ultimate shift in the enlightened world, where someone who was previously experiencing the masculine side of life now begins a journey toward greater femininity, and vice versa.
For this reason, any past lives as a human of the opposite gender are impossible, suggesting that such memories and beliefs are illusions, usually related to connecting with memories of another soul in your soul family.
Embracing who you are
The story about the Easter Bunny who became Santa Nicolina has been created to help people understand evolution from the highest possible perspective, intending to inspire them to embrace their true nature as a constantly transforming amalgamation of energy rather than something fixed to be attached to.
By understanding the truth of life, it is much easier to flow with it, experiencing ever-higher expressions of love, instead of being trapped in animalistic desires to achieve enlightenment through the hopeless idea of expressing one’s current level of truth rather than the absolute truth.
3. Creativity from Various Perspectives
The story about the Dutch farmer
Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lived in Holland.
His main area of expertise was growing potatoes and raising livestock – pigs, cows, and sheep. Additionally, he was expanding his business by trading tulip bulbs, which became so successful that he was considering closing all other operations to focus solely on that.
One day, he decided to sell all his animals and abandon the potato business entirely, a choice that proved highly successful, as he quickly became incredibly wealthy, measured in tulip bulbs, which could easily be traded for anything he desired.
The farmer was so happy and financially abundant, even though the new job wasn’t the most fulfilling in terms of intellectual and bodily stimulation.
For several years, the farmer expanded his tulip trading business until the market suddenly collapsed.
The reasons for this occurrence are beyond the scope of this story to reveal, but for various reasons, people no longer believed in the value of tulip bulbs, similar to how they soon will stop believing in the value of certain paper bills and coins made of scrap metal.
The consequence for our farmer was brutal in the sense that he could no longer sustain himself.
The tulip bulbs that had provided him with everything he needed just a few weeks ago were now mostly useless.
The story continues…
Near the farmer’s land, there was a family comprising two young parents and three children between two and nine.
The father was working hard at the farm, moving manure from the farmhouses to the potato fields.
One day, the father overheard the farmer say he wanted to sell his animals as quickly as possible, almost at any price, because he wanted to get out of the livestock and potato businesses.
This sent shockwaves through the father as he realized he would soon be out of work, unable to provide food and shelter for his three hungry children and his loving wife.
He held onto the pain for a few days until he finally found the strength to share the difficult news with his wife.
However, her reaction was truly a blessing. She said, ‘Life always encourages us to grow in one way or another. Can’t you see that you are being pushed by forces much stronger than you and that the only wise thing you can do right now is surrender to what life demands of you? Give it time, and a new path will reveal itself.’
In just a few weeks, the father managed to purchase some cows and pigs at far below market price, and he signed a contract with the farmer granting him the right to grow potatoes on the farmer’s land for ten years.
Commandments one to three
The first three Commandments say: ‘live from the inside out,’ ‘speak your truth and respect others’ truth,’ and ‘create without holding back.’
In the story just told, these three rules for how to live in paradise are illustrated in rather realistic situations. Let me explain.
Living from the inside out entails both visualizing one’s desires and making a plan for how to get there, although both the desires and the plan are likely to change as you go along in the creative process.
In our story, the farmer had a clear vision of becoming even richer by closing down one business and focusing more on another, which proved successful initially.
However, his vision was rooted in greed rather than love, which ultimately led to failure rather than success.
The second Commandment, ‘speak your truth and respect others’ truth,’ is illustrated by the father’s inability to explain his situation to his wife, primarily due to pride, which almost destroyed the opportunity that was about to emerge, highlighting that pride is usually the root cause of missed opportunities.
Lastly, ‘create without holding back’ is represented by the wife’s ability to both take action and surrender, thus acting in direct opposition to the deadly sin we know as sloth.
In real life, you don’t necessarily need a vision, but at least you need the ability to speak your truth and act intelligently, as demonstrated by the married couple.
However, if you have a vision, make sure it’s rooted in love rather than greed, or you will never be able to manifest it in a way that brings abundance in money, love, and health simultaneously.
The story of the merry goatherd
Once upon a time, there was a merry goatherd living in the Austrian Alps, near Salzburg.
He had eight goats that he protected with his life, day and night, throughout the summer.
When winter arrived, he moved to the village to stay in his parents’ house with his four older brothers and younger sister. His name was Gerhard, and he had a special fondness for his sister, Jasmine.
One day, when he was up in the mountains, busy preparing food, a fox attacked one of the goats and nearly killed it.
Gerhard was furious and seized his bow, determined to kill the fox. However, the arrow flew wide.
The next day, the fox attacked the same goat once more, which sadly died in Gerhard's arms.
Gerhard was very sad and angry, so he decided to set a trap for the fox by placing some goat meat on a stick and hiding out of sight from any approaching carnivores.
Early the next morning, the fox attempted to take the meat after Gerhard successfully killed it.
When winter arrived and he returned home with only seven goats, his parents were furious and made him do extra chores all winter to make up for the loss he had caused the family.
The following spring, he returned to the grassy mountains and stayed there until it became too cold for the domesticated goats to sleep outside.
He returned to the village and repeated the same procedure the next year and the year after.
When Gerhard was thirteen, he felt he was too old to be a goatherd and insisted that his younger sister Jasmine should take over. However, their parents had no plans to send her to the mountains, leaving Gerhard no choice but to continue.
Gerhard grew increasingly upset with his situation: alone with the goats in the summertime and stuck with his not-so-kind family in the winter, so he decided to take his goats and move.
As winter approached, he packed his large backpack with goat’s cheese and trekked for two days to a village he had never visited.
With the fortune he carried on his back, it wasn’t difficult to find a place to stay for the winter.
The following spring, Gerhard decided to sell two of the goats and invest in a rifle to protect himself against wolves as he attempted to move further away from home, crossing the border into Switzerland.
In Switzerland, Gerhard met a beautiful young lady, fell in love, and settled down.
Many years later, a young woman arrived in the village, and Gerhard could instantly tell it was Jasmine.
He began to cry and hurried to greet her. However, the face that confronted him sent a chill down his spine.
From a close distance, Jasmine looked terrible, utterly worn out from years of hard work.
She recognized Gerhard but didn’t know whether to feel happy or sorry. One part of her was glad, while another part felt rage as she instantly realized he had stolen the goats, thereby turning her family’s life into a nightmare.
Commandments four to six
Commandments four to six say: ‘find truth in feelings rather than thoughts,’ ‘transform by embracing higher truths,’ and ‘remember by letting go of the unnecessary.’
In the story above, the fourth Commandment is represented by Gerhard’s emotions, which eventually made it impossible for him to remain in his family, regardless of his mental ideas of right and wrong.
However, he was clearly acting out of wrath rather than love, implying that his actions also caused despair among those he truly loved, specifically his sister.
If he had been more in touch with himself, he would have acted differently, perhaps handing back the goats and taking only his fair share of the cheese, or expressing his feelings despite the obvious risk of not being respected.
The fifth commandment is reflected in the way Gerhard was transformed by gradually realizing that he wasn’t treated well by his parents, a process that unfolded over several years.
During this period, Gerhard went from being a young boy eager to please to a young man capable of standing up for himself.
However, because this transformation was clearly driven by envy, he didn’t become more loving but more hateful, which, in fact, is the force that drives most successful people ‘forward’ in a competitive society.
Without someone to envy, or ‘take inspiration from,’ as we normally label it, most people wouldn’t transform much in life. Why? – Because divine transformation requires that you focus on yourself rather than on others, enabling you to find the path in life that is the highest one only for you.
Lastly, the sixth Commandment, ‘remember by letting go of the unnecessary,’ is symbolized by Jasmine’s deterioration since her last encounter with her brother.
Obviously, she had lived a harsh life, unable to accept that her brother had disappeared with the family’s precious goats. However, how is this related to the deadly sin of gluttony? It is in the sense that the most common thing people indulge in isn’t unhealthy food but their misfortunes in life.
This represents the essence of victimhood, cured only by letting go of what has been, through the realization that life is a gift rather than a burden, which, of course, is easier when your most basic needs are met.
Use the heart as the main source of guidance
The seventh and final commandment says that you should use your heart as the main source of guidance in life, and it applies to all the characters we have come to know in the two stories above.
If the Dutch farmer had been connected to his heart, it certainly would have contracted at the thought of abandoning his grounded and successful business to trade in tulips.
Likewise, the father would have instantly recognized an opportunity and patiently waited for the right moment to act, and Gerhard would have resolved his situation in another way than by stealing everything his family owned.
So, why don’t we always follow our hearts? It’s because of lust, meaning desires so strong that we can’t resist them, rooted in greed, pride, sloth, wrath, envy, or gluttony.
By becoming more enlightened, we learn that the only way to create happiness is to follow the Seven Cosmic Commandments, as presented in the fourth and final Christian Testament.
