“Naked does man come from his mother’s womb, and naked does he return to the womb of the Earth. He brings no possessions with him to Earth, and no more can be taken out. Yet, he leaves not altogether as he entered, for though his riches and estate, his titles, even his clothes are left behind, if he has lived wisely, he goes out richer in soul wisdom and arrayed in soul beauty. Man arrives at the Great Portal arrayed in glory or clothed in horror.
“In the newborn childling is the soft seed of the slumbering soul; this will be developed, moulded and fashioned throughout the period of its earthly existence. It will be shaped by man himself to his own inner likeness; then, when stripped of its outward bodily covering, man will stand revealed to himself and be faced with splendor or horror.
“In the likeness, to which the soul is fashioned in the body, so shall it come forth in the spirit on its appointed day.
“Thus it is written in the Secret Books of Wisdom, which are revealed to the few. The body is a womb, life the days of conception, and death the birth of the soul. Is it not written that some shall bring forth
monsters and fearful things, and some shall bear gods? These things are not beyond understanding.”
-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:3:33-36)
We Arrive Naked
We are born into the physical world naked and with nothing. It doesn’t matter if our parents are poor, middle class, or wealthy. Everyone arrives the same. The quote says we also leave Earth naked. That is not literally true, but it makes the point that we take nothing with us when we exit the material realm. Even if we have accumulated great wealth, we can take none of it with us. Even if we could, it would be useless in the spiritual realm.
If We Live Wisely
If we live wisely, we will develop our spiritual faculties while we are alive in the physical sense. Then we do take something with us when we physically die. We take our spirit and soul. Many people believe that when we die, our spirit goes directly to Heaven. That is not true. Heaven is a place of perfection, and a Soul that is not fully developed cannot go there since it is not yet perfect. So spiritual development doesn’t end with physical death. We must continue to develop after we depart this world until we achieve the perfection that allows us to enter heaven.
Slumbering Soul
We don’t enter the physical world with the seed of the Soul, but we do enter this realm with our spiritual faculties in a dormant state similar to a coma. We must awaken and develop those faculties. That is what Jesus meant when he said we must be reborn. That is also what the quote means when it says “In the likeness, to which the soul is fashioned in the body, so shall it come forth in the spirit on its appointed day.”
Secret Books
We don’t know what the Secret Books of Wisdom were, but all of the ancient mystery schools had their secret books of teachings, and they were revealed only to a small number of people. Even those who were admitted as students to the schools did not get to see them until they successfully passed a trial period of two or three years.
Some Bear Monsters
In a sense, I guess we can say it is true that some people bear monsters. People like Hitler and Kim Jong-un. Others that may not have killed many people, but were monsters for the way in which they killed just a few. As for bearing gods, no human has ever given birth to a god, but humans have made many false gods to worship because the greatness of the one true God was too much for them to comprehend.
