“There is no boundary for light. It was unknown when it began. Nothing was when light was not. Nothing was when radiance was not. Nothing was when life was not. There was never a boundary for light. Nothing was when water was not.

“Water is prior to darkness. Prior to darkness is water. Nothing is without an end. No number is before the uthras were. Light beings are prior to darkness. Prior to darkness are uthras and older than their inhabitants. Goodness is prior to the malice of the place of darkness. Gentleness is prior to the bitterness of the place of darkness. Living fire is prior to the consuming fires of the place of darkness. Praise is prior to the practice of sorcery and witchcraft. Hymns and books are prior to the sorcery of Hewath, the terrible woman.

“Darkness can’t be measured by light. The house of gloom isn’t lighted. The house of gloom isn’t lighted, and turbid waters have no sparkle. Darkness grew and creatures formed. Darkness formed, and when it formed it tested its force. It harbored malice in its mind. It imprisoned its own kanna, the place of the soul. It imprisoned its own kanna, and everything it did was nothing. The children of darkness are nothing, but the children of life stay. The house of evil is nothing, and its consuming fires die. Its sorcery dies and ends, since it has no place in eternity. It comes to nothing. The generations of life stay forever. The living instruction rises and illuminates a perishable living place.”

-The Ginza

No Boundary for Light

We know that there are boundaries for some types of physical light, so it should be obvious that what the Ginza is talking about is Spiritual Light. The traditional Bible has God creating Light before anything else, but that still gives people the idea that there was a time when the Light didn’t exist. That idea is false simply because everything that is purely spiritual exists outside of the limits of time and space, so it has no beginning and no end, no boundaries of any kind. And as the quote says, nothing existed before Light.

Nothing Before Life

The statement that nothing existed before Life means spiritual life. Spiritual Life, like Spiritual Light, exists outside of the limitations of space and time. But this means more than that. It tells us that Life is everywhere and everything is alive. Perhaps not in the physical sense, yet all things are alive on the spiritual level. Native Americans understood this and said all things have a spirit, even rocks, mountains, and rivers. Since a spirit is always alive, that means those things are alive as well.

Water Before Darkness

Since Darkness refers to the fallen realm of matter, this also cannot refer to physical water. It means the Word of God, which “flows” from the Godhead like water to enlighten those who attune themselves to it.

Nothing is Without an End

This one can be confusing because of the sudden shift. All of the previous lines of the quote talk about spiritual things. In this case, it means physical things. All physical things come to an end. Some will argue that they don’t come to an end; they just change form, but for the form that was, an end has happened.

No Number Before the Uthras

An odd way to word it, but what this is saying is that there were no beings existing before the high-level Spiritual Beings that are here called Uthras, but we would call them Angels or beings of Light. Since the physical realm was an offshoot of the spiritual realm, physical beings, which is what I think was meant by “no number,” could not have existed before spiritual beings.

Goodness Prior to Darkness

Since Spirit came before matter, goodness existed before Darkness. This doesn’t mean the kind of darkness you get when you turn out the lights in a room. The Darkness means the realm of the fallen angels, also called the Demiurge. Since that realm of matter was “created” by changing Spirit into something else, Spirit had to exist first, and true Goodness is found only in Spirit.

House of Gloom

This is obviously a reference to the lower dimension generally called Hell. There is no Spiritual Light in that lower dimension, so if one wishes to turn away from Hell and head toward Heaven, it must be done while still living physically in the third dimension where it is still possible to access the Spiritual Light from God, especially now that we have the Sun of Righteousness shining down on us.

“’My father, yesterday you promised me you would take my mind to the eighth heavenly sphere and after that you would take me to the ninth. You said this is the sequence of the tradition.’

‘Yes, my child, this is the sequence, but the promise was made about human nature. I said to you when I first made the promise, ‘If you remember each of the stages.’ After I received the spirit through the power, I established the action for you. Clearly understanding dwells within you. In me it is as if the power were pregnant, for when I conceived from the spring that flows to me, I gave birth.’

“’Father, you have spoken every word rightly to me, but I am amazed at what you say. You said, ‘The power in me.’’ He said, ‘I gave birth to it as children are born.’

“’Then, father, I have many siblings if I am to be counted among the generations.’

“’Right, child. This good thing is counted . . . always. So, child, you must know your siblings and honor them rightly, since they have come from the very same father. For each of the generations have I addressed. I have named them, since they are offspring like these children.’ ‘Then, father, do they have a day?’

“’Child, they are spiritual, for they exist as forces that nurture other souls. That is why I say they are immortal.’

“ ‘Your word is true. From now on it cannot be refuted. Father, begin the discourse on the eighth and the ninth, and count me also with my siblings.’

“’Let us pray, child, to the father of the universe, with your siblings, who are my children, that the father may grant the spirit of eloquence.’”

-The Discourse on the Eighth and Ninth

The Eighth Heavenly Sphere

What the quote calls “the eighth heavenly sphere” is better referred to today as the eighth dimension. The dimension we live in as physical beings is the third. The second dimension is the one commonly called Hell or Hades. They are dimensions, not physical places. The speaker in the dialogue asks God to take his mind to the eighth and ninth dimensions. It must be understood that many people in the time this was written considered the soul to be part of the mind. Some still do, but they are wrong. The spirit and soul are independent of the physical brain and the mind associated with it.

Each of the Stages

The Father, God, tells the speaker to remember each of the stages he must go through if he is to reach the lofty heights of the eighth and ninth dimensions. The list of stages is not provided and never is. Certain facts about spiritual development were never put into writing in the past. Today, we know that the True Path is through awakening and developing the Spirit through the reception of the Light of the Spiritual Sun. So, God is telling him that enlightenment is not something simply granted on request. It must be worked for and developed gradually.

I Have Many Siblings

In a spiritual sense, all Souls are siblings as they are all Children of God, so that is why the person in the dialog has many siblings. That is why spiritual Masters such as Jesus and Buddha have always taught that we should treat each other as brothers and sisters, regardless of race, religion, nationality, or sexual identity. Those superficial physical attributes are irrelevant on the spiritual level. Sadly, we are today seeing many practicing the exact opposite of what the great Spiritual Master taught, yet many of them still claiming to be Christians, Buddhists, or Jews.

They are Immortal

Spirits are immortal. They don’t age, get sick and die, suffer from illnesses, etc. Yet many people show little concern for the Spirit and Soul. Fortunately, now that we are in the time of the Sun of Righteousness, that is changing. More and more people are awakening to the fact that they have a spirit as well as a body and mind, and the spirit is at least as important as the body. The numbers may be relatively small at this time, but they are growing. It has been prophesied that it will take only the development of twelve spiritual masters on Earth in order for the world to be changed back to the spiritual form that God always intended it to be.

“Men of no estate and landless men become the lords of men, and strangers become masters of slaves and servants. They stir up strife among the people and say, “This is because we are protected by gods of

power; by what are you protected?” The people know not that the power of gods is sustained by the spiritual devotion of the people, and their power flows from the strength and goodness of their worshipers. When a people fail their god, that god fails the people.

“I am a man instructed and know this is a time of strengthening affliction, but my heart troubles me. Will the people understand this? Will they rise to meet the challenge or go down the path of ease, the fair path of flowers and fragrance? Is this the Land of Leaders, wherein will be

erected the Temple of Truth and the Stairway to Heaven? Would that I could peer through the door of the unborn days!

“Strange bowmen have entered the redlands, and they spoil the people. They are men whose delight is in suffering. They are men whose pleasure is destruction; they tear down but do not build. The roads are covered, and the water channels opened. The craftsman no longer interests himself in his craft, for that which he makes is taken away. He who reaps does not store the corn, while he who is without a plow never lacks a full storehouse. The harvests go unrecorded, and he who toils not eats with he who has labored at the ingathering. The man without cattle eats meat, while the man who owns them eats herbs. The waters rise and fall away from the land, but none plows or sows, for men say, “The events of tomorrow are unknown, and who knows what man will reap where we have ploughed and sown?”

“The scribe is stricken and dies on his stool. His writings become a mystery and are disdainfully trodden underfoot. The fruit of many days’ labor become kindling, the wisdom and knowledge of generations become fuel for fires of destruction.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (Man:30:15-18)

Men of No Estate

What the quote says has little meaning today. There are many of us who are not landowners or owners of homes. But what this really means is that people who are not invested in society are still becoming leaders of those societies. A person who has never had to work a day in his life shouldn’t be running a corporation with thousands of employees. A person who has no background in politics shouldn’t be elected to a high office. More importantly, churches and spiritual schools are being led by materialistic people who have little spiritual knowledge.

Protected by the Gods of Power

Despots, dictators, false preachers, and Gurus are protected by the “gods of power”. What they don’t seem to realize is that the god of power, might, war, greed, etc., is not the true God but the false god, the Demiurge. In other words, these greedy despots are Satanists, even if they don’t know it. And we have seen in this age that when people turn away from God, God no longer helps them. God will help anyone who wants to develop their spiritual Self, but God doesn’t help the materialist who prays only for a new home, a new car, etc. Those are the gifts of Satan, not God.

Will People Rise to Meet the Challenge?

We are seeing people rising up against rampant materialism and greed and seeking a spiritual awakening and spiritual life. The numbers may be small, but growing all the time. Even the despots feel the Sun of Righteousness pulling them towards the spiritual, but they are so materialistic. They don’t know why. They know they are not satisfied with what they have, so instead of turning to something else, they keep grabbing up more and more physical wealth. In the end, though, God will win, and the world will change for the better.

Strange Bowmen in the Redlands

This is saying that foreigners are entering countries and taking over, turning people away from their traditions. In many cases, these foreigners are materialistic or atheists and turn the people away from God and spiritual matters. Such people often claim things that are not theirs as they have not worked to earn them. In the United States, we have corporate leaders earning three hundred or four hundred times what the average worker gets. Meanwhile, politicians line their pockets with money often gained illegally, or at least immorally.

The Future

Despite all these horrors, the authors of the Kolbrin Bible (Egyptian priests) saw happening, they were eventually overcome. We are now living in another age of rampant materialism, probably the worse ever, but this one will end with the dawning of a New Golden Age of Light and Wisdom. As the old saying goes, “It’s always darkest before the dawn.” And for this new age to happen, the dark ones must be brought out of their hiding places and exposed to the light of day so they can be converted or eliminated. But the way we defeat evil is not by behaving like them. We do it by sending thoughts of peace, joy, and love into the world and practicing them in our lives.
