The first thing to understand about
priesthood is that it is not intended as a hierarchy in the
conventional sense. Rather, it is expressed as degrees
and steps in levels of personal progression. Of necessity,
there are leaders and teachers to help us along in the path
of progress in the upward spiral towards perfection and
reunion with our self perceived as our higher self. *****
Phoenix Journal 5 Page 11: NO ROYALTY UP HERE
In these Higher Frequencies, we use labels only for your
convenience. We recognize solely by energy patterns. We not
only do not bear "Royal" titles, but find them abhorrent. A
simple summons of "Ashtar" or "Hatonn" rings our frequency
circuit "on switch". We only function in a post of expertise
and duty, not one above another as entities. Ones who place
such "Royal" titles upon our beings are doing so in self Ego
in order to pronounce their self proclaimed importance for
working with us. There must, however, be means of
description and sometimes definition of words have been
misrepresented. For instance, the word "priestess" means,
simply, a mediatory agent. You ones make it into some royal
hoopla that means great splendor and degrades the label
itself. "Commander" is only a designation of function; not
some high label of your type of "pecking order". It
designates an area of responsibility and a given segment of
authority. No more and no less. Any energy that comes to you
with such title as "His Royal Omnipotent Highness", watch
out. Further, take care that you don't swallow what thy
fellow hu-man tells you. Often labels are falsely placed by
ones in power to cause you to denounce others. Sometimes,
even I am referred to as "Lord". That is a designation of
master teacher or leader of prominent rank. You ones must
have some method of identifying us and you only have "words"
with which to do so. Unfortunately, the Dark Adversary has
corrupted the words so that you have no longer a correct
definition. |
![]() The following is from the article the Ankh: "Each body, be it human planetary, solar, galactic, that of a universe, from the macro to the micro being that of an atom and beings like humans living on a fractal yet just as much a reality atom like solar systems with electron like planets etc. , each body is an entity, and a creator or logos type being. And each being has 12 bodies. As we are on the 6th density of the 12 system, and the 4th density or dimension in reference to the 7 system. The bodies lower of the 6th density have been called astral and physical. The bodies above the 6th density or dimension have been referred to as ethereal bodies. They can be called anything you want, but they exist and can be identified by certain frequency vibration and pattern levels. As can be seen in the cube on the picture, there are 12 levels. Each level has it's own hierarchy or priesthood as has been referred to by some." ****
This is a system of leaders that we appointed to represent
us. If we choose not to merge with any particular group or
modem of associates, then we ourselves can and would assume
these roles for our self as self. As these are all just
archetypical aspects of our selves at difference points or
levels of progression which we may implement or call upon to
assist or represent us as we may need at our particular
nexus or point of progression and desire in a particular
area or arena of existence. In as much as there arises a
need for a group to have a representative or leader of their
respective whole, then one would be chosen from the
collective consensus of the whole to represent them. In any
case, we have the free will and choice to choose, or not to
choose our representatives. If we don't like a particular
leader or when we find such does not represent our choice of
being, than we have the right, and more importantly, the
ability to remove such influence from our presence and our
reality. This priesthood is organized in a 7x7 system which
correlates with an expanded version of the same in a 12x12
system. This has been explained more fully in the article An Expose On The 12 In 7. From the teachings of Little Crow. Alias Red Eagle, "Wamblisha", who labels himself in this time of counting as Little Crow. Phoenix Journal 12 Page 136: The native Indian will break it down far more beautifully than can I but I shall be brief and further, I ask that John S. pay particular attention for it shall answer many of his questions regarding Emmanuel. Life, from beginning to goal, is divided, it is said, by seven main steps or periods. These are again divided into seven sub-periods that make up the whole. The sub- periods may be compared to levels in school, except that they are not calculated in years, but in lifetimes. In each period thus, a quite certain development exists and a very certain goal. Thus runs each of all seven sub-periods, which can last hundreds and thousands of years, and then one main period is accomplished. Spirit life is sexless, because sex is specifically characteristic of organic life to assure propagation of the species. Spiritual life, through organic form, observes the laws of rebirth (or cycles) to assure development in both directions. Thus each form of life must pass through seven destined main periods, including their seven sub-levels: For fixed position organic creatures, the periodic sequence of the seasons is decisive, while for spirit-conditioned creatures such as human beings, the periods are irregular and often rated differently individually. They are not fixed in a destined rhythm like plants, for instance. A re-birth of a spirit-conditioned human being can take place after the death of his physical body, in seconds, decades, thousands of years or millenniums. When a spirit-conditioned life is interrupted, then it is disadvantaged. This is because it cannot accomplish its sub-period goal and must repeat as necessary to achieve the goal of the period. This might well mean that a life must be experienced another time. Accordingly, the next life may be of shorter duration because it may only be making good the "missed" lessons to finish the goal of the given period. I suppose you might even consider this in your perception---a punishment of some type but it is actually simply the growth process. For instance, Hell in truth is nothing else than a self-inflicted punishment to be suffered; in other words the making good of a self caused fault. Your religious speakers often use Hell and punishment as a terrible hammer to hold above your heads. If you make mistakes in life then you can make good the errors by recognizing the fault, or whatever you might label this, commit it no more, and absorb it as knowledge, from which then has to result wisdom. THE SEVEN I. PRIMARY LIFE: 1. Primary development of intellect and spirit. 2. Primary thinking of intellect and spirit. 3. Primary thinking of reason. 4. Primary exercise of intellect and spirit force. 5. Primary reasonable actions. 6. Primary will-thinking and will-activity. 7. Reason-conditioned guiding of the life. Creatures of these levels are considered insane, idiots, etc., by already thinking reasoning beings. But in truth their spirit and intellect is not yet spiritually developed. (They are new spirits who have to first form themselves by learning and experiencing.) II. REASONED LIFE: 1. Primary development of reason. 2. Effective realization of reason and its use. 3. Primary acknowledgement and cognition of higher influences. 4. Belief in higher influences without having the knowledge. 5. Belief in higher forces, superstition, fear of evil veneration of God. (The germination time for religions, doctrinal beliefs, et cetera.) *The next is the position of the average Earth human. * 6. Primary cognition of the true reality. Research, knowledgeable development. First spiritual cognitions and their exercise. Spiritual healing, and telepathy. 7. Primary development of knowledge and wisdom. III. INTELLECT LIFE: (Present educated Earth beings, exceptional scientists and a few borderland and spiritual scientists.) Herein the term "scientist" is general indeed. 1. Advanced development of the intellect. High technology. Second utilization of spiritual forces. Primary creation of living forms. 2. Realization and exercise of knowledge, truth, and wisdom. Slow breakdown of accepted beliefs. 3. First utilization of knowledge and wisdom. 4. Acknowledgement and utilization of nature's laws. Generation of super- technologies. Second creation of living forms. 5. Natural exercise of wisdom and knowledge in the cognition of spiritual forces. Further breakdown of accepted beliefs. 6. Life in knowing, about wisdom, truth and logic. 7. Primary cognition of the reality as absolutely real. IV. REAL LIFE: 1. Clear knowledge about reality as absolutely real. 2. Cognition of spiritual knowledge and spiritual wisdom. 3. Utilization of spirit knowledge and spiritual wisdom. 4. Cognition of the reality of the CREATION and it's laws. 5. Living according to the CREATION Law. Purification of Spirit and intellect. Cognition of the obligation and force of Spirit. Breakdown of blind acceptances in belief. 6. Guided and controlled utilization of spiritual forces. 7. Creation of first living creatures. This shows the potential for man to create living organisms within his sciences and technologies when a certain level of sophistication is reached. You will note that you are already able to do some of these things. VI: SPIRITUAL LIFE: 1. Acknowledgement and realization of Spiritual Peace, universal love and creational harmony. 2. Living according to pure Spiritual knowledge. 3. Spiritual creating and creations. 4. Dis-embodying of Spirit from organic matter. 5. First pure Spiritual existence. 6. Final Spiritual existence. 7. Passing-over into the CREATION consciousness. VII. CREATION LIFE: 1. Twilight sleeping during seven periods of rest. 2. Awakening and beginning of creating in the Creation as CREATION, during seven periods. 3. Creating of living forms. 4. Creating of new Spirit in improvement of the CREATION. 5. Creating of great Spirit in the CREATION. 6. Evolvement of Creating and becoming One with CREATION. 7. Last reach of highest improvement during the seventh period--- BECOMING CREATOR/CREATION. The "twilight sleep" of the CREATION lasts some seven periods/great-times. In this twi1ight state of the CREATION all life and the whole universe ceases to exist--while Creator rests, so to speak. Just after its awakening it begins to create all things anew. During the twilight sleep, neither time nor space actually "exist". There is only the "nothing", as all lies "Sleeping" inside the infinite bosom of the CREATION and null-time. While no creating exists there is no force, no time, and no space. There is only duration in a nameless state of IS-NESS.

Within each sub-density, seven sub-sub-densities, and so on infinitely. Phoenix Journal 50 Page 60: STILL PRIMITIVE? PERSPECTIVE ON THE BIG PICTURE OF INFINITE GROWTH I do not speak of you ones as anything other than "little brothers" for "ignorance" is not the same as stupidity--but primitive? Perhaps! You have learned enough to destroy and not enough to restore. Where ARE you on the scale of human evolvement? Let me remind you through teachings of your Pleiadian elders and YOU see where you might be on the scale of 1-7 in the seven segments of realization. I.

TWILIGHT SLEEP OF CREATION This is a period of "sleep" of the CREATION and lasts seven periods/great-times. One period/great-time lasts some 311,040,000,000,000 years as calculated in your counting systems. We have to offer you that to which YOU can relate for we utilize only "sequence" of growth and experience--during all of the 7 periods of experience. In the twilight state of the CREATION all life and the whole universe ceases in consciousness. Just after its awakening it begins to create all things anew. During the twilight sleeping neither time nor space exist. There is only the "nothing" or voidance, as all lies sleeping inside the infinite of the CREATION and null-time. While no creating thought exists there is no force, no time, and no space. There is only duration in a nameless nothing. Do not confuse this with the "null"-time on either rim of the Photon Belt of Light. The "Photon" null-time simply expresses as neutralization of all electrical particles as they become "lighted" and frequencies pick up to match the evolution of such change. Below, an explanation of the 7x7 system is offered by James Oliver: "There are 7 Major Levels or Planes of Existence in this universe, which I prefer to call the 7 Densities, and The Universal Logos is The Octave. Each Density has 7 Dimensional Levels within it, and each of those Dimensions has 7 sub-dimensional levels. I can give the planet that we live on as an example in this scheme. This planet is at the moment transitioning from the uppermost Dimensional Level (7th) of 3rd Density into the lowermost Dimensional Level (1st) of 4th Density. This Earth has a total of 7 bodies (at different Dimensional Levels) for this evolutionary scheme, as The Masters taught through Helena P. Blavatsky in "The Secret Doctrine" published in 1888 A.D. " An explanation of the hierarchy is offered below: SHAMBALLA HIERARCHY HUMANITY THE GREAT TRIANGLE Teachings of the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul / Alice Bailey put together by Annrose Künzi Page 74: The Seven Spirits before the Throne of God are also Members of the Council, and each of them is in close rapport and contact with one or other of the Seven Sacred Planets in our Solar System, and can thus draw upon the energies which they embody. ***Page 140 The Hierarchy works, as you know, in or through three major departments, each possessing its full personnel, and tinder three GreatLords. (...) The Hierarchy works also through the Seven Major Ashrams and their affiliated Ashrams, and these „seven which are the forty-nine“ represent in their totality the Seven Rays with their sub-rays, and are the custodians, transmittersand distributors of the Seven Ray Energies to the Seven Planetary Centres and - via these seven centres - to those in the Fourth Kingdom in Nature (as they gradually unfold over the aeons) and then, via these, to the seven centres in individual man. Such is the synthesis. *** Page 145 It must be borne in mind that the Council Chamber of the Lord at Shamballa is a unit, but that the Hierarchy is a differentiation of this basic unity into the Seven Major Ashrams and the forty-nine Ashrams which are gradually forming.

![]() ("that little priesthood which the Lord shall have given them as an helpmete and as a schooling ground.") The Mentinah Archives Volume One thru Nine (As of Jan. 12, 2011) Page 654 71. And I say unto you, In the latter days, the Lord shall begin again a restoration through the Gentiles. And He shall choose the Gentiles because of that quality of their character that causes them to take up and pursue a project with great vigor. Yea, He shall use this quality to send His word which He gave unto the Nephites into all the world. And behold, they shall do this thing and it shall be accomplished in them according to the word and will of the Lord. 72. And He shall give them priesthood and His authority to do many things in His name. And the keys to this priesthood He shall devolve upon them. But they shall consider this the keys to the very kingdom of God and they shall teach that without these keys no door may be unlocked and no shackle may be loosed. And in but one generation from the commencement of that great restoration, they shall have corrupted the word of God and His will, and shall bind all men with that measure of priesthood they have been given. Yea, they shall make the performance of ordinances that which does assure salvation and they shall devolve their performances upon they who possess the priesthood. 73. Behold, this shall cause a great bondage to come upon the people and, when the time comes for them to receive greater truth and knowledge from the Lord, there shall be few who can walk upon the Way. Yea, when He desires a revelation to be given, behold, He shall be required to resort to intervention in order that His work might go forward. This is not much better than the state of things before the restoration that He shall make unto the Gentiles. 74. But they shall claim to possess His priesthood and that they are the masters of the earth, having dominion over her to do with her as they will. And each man shall count his stewardship as if it were some measure of dominion over his fellow men, and this shall be the means of much tribulation in the church. And behold, the shepherds of the church, yea, the High Priests and the priests, the elders even down to the least of their teachers, shall in one voice declare and agree that none shall come unto salvation except by and through them, for the Lord shall have chosen them over all the earth and they shall esteem themselves the Elect of God because of that little priesthood which the Lord shall have given them as an helpmete and as a schooling ground. 75. And where is there greater pride than this, that man shall extol his own virtue and call himself elect in all the world? Yet, in the day whereof I speak, there shall be hunger in their country. And behold, there shall be they among them who suffer with the cold and are destitute. And they shall judge them and give unto them a little, but in the main, they shall look upon the suffering of the people and esteem themselves the more blessed because of their riches. And they shall declare in their hearts that the poor are not as blessed because of sin. Behold, this is the pride of the Saints in the latter days. 76. And behold, they shall claim to have charity, but it shall be by extortion. And they shall claim to have the love of God, but it shall be meted out sparingly and upon conditions. It shall not be freely given, but shall be doled out by practice and by policy that does grind the face of the poor and bring about a division between them and the rich. They shall have not all things in common and all things shall be dictated unto them. Yea, they shall know nothing of the Common Consent. And this shall they call righteousness. Yea, because of this they shall call themselves the very Elect of God. 77. They shall love themselves and spare themselves no luxury. And for the poor they shall dole out unto the shepherds but a little here and a little there. And the shepherds shall exercise dominion over the poor and their lives shall they dictate, exhorting them to bend their backs so that they too might rise up in stature and in wealth, that they might walk among the elect. Is this the Law of the Tithe? Is this the Law of Consecration? You and I may decry such practices, but behold, they who call themselves elect in the latter days shall believe it to be so. 78. And even they shall teach that the one may be lived without the other. And this thing is part of that wherein they do sin against the gospel. Yea, they shall reject even the fullness of the gospel. And is this not according as the Lord prophesied unto the survivors of the overturning of all things in the Land Southward, and even unto your forefathers in Mentinah? I say unto you, Yea. This is the thing which He foretold. -------------------------------------------------------------- An interesting explanation is also offered by Otto Fetting: The Word Of The Lord MESSAGE 1 2 7 Behold, the Lord changes not, again He has sent me to instruct the children of men as to the building of the Temple, the size thereof, the inner court and the outer court, the construction of the building, the time to begin the work, the time to complete the building of the Temple, the material it shall be built of, and I will come from time to time to instruct you, for thus was I commanded to instruct Joseph Smith but be- cause he was not true to the trust, this was withheld from him. Remember, you have been entrusted with this work, therefore be humble that you fail not in your work. 8 And as I laid my hands upon Joseph Smith, so now I lay my hands on you, that greater power and greater light might come to you, and to set you apart to do the work en- trusted to your care and in your day. Remember, the priesthood was not and will not be taken from the earth since I conferred it on Joseph Smith; but the greater power of the priesthood has been withheld because of the transgression of those who have been entrusted therewith. Therefore, see that all things are done after the pattern I will give you, that in all things you may please the Lord your God. Be true to the trust that has been placed upon you and your brethren, each one in his place and calling, for the Lord will hold each one responsible in their work that must be done and will require it at their hands in the last day. Some will fail because of the temptations that shall come to them, but they will suffer loss. But, remember, Christ is at the head of the church, and will direct His work; He is the great high priest of His people and He will direct the work as in days of old. I therefore bless you in the name of Christ, and admonish you to seek not the praise of men but be humble before God, and the people of the Lord, and your brethren. The priesthood and authority that was placed upon you by the servant of the Lord will never be taken from you unless you deny the Lord your God, but if you are not true to the trust imposed upon you, you shall suffer loss and lose your crown. The Lord will reveal to you from time to time the things pertaining to the building of the Temple and the work that must be done by The Church of Christ, that the people of the Lord might be instructed of the things that shall come to pass. Amen. We don't claim to know every thing about this, but we do know slightly more than the above mentioned and would like to share a little that we do know about this in order to shed some light on the subject. The CFB understood that there are four orders of priesthood that they misunderstood and called the four grand heads of priesthood. In a more complete sense, there are seven (7) orders of Priesthood and seven steps or offices or quarms within each order. For a complete picture 7x7 is shown. The first three (3) might be expressed as the creative beginnings and there are many examples in other viewpoints such as. Father, Son, Holy Ghost called the holy trinity by some. An elementary expression could be the three (3) followed by the offices that have direct authority in the temporal world, there are four (4) orders. The first is a political order with seven steps or offices. The second is the economic order with seven also. The third is the social order with seven also. The fourth is a spiritual order with seven also. The seven is also an expression of the expansions and contractions from with in to without as can be seen in the cosmos down to the quantum so to speak. I have attempted to articulate this in an other article called the The 4 Estates Of Man. The following is an extract: Our universe is just one subatomic particle in what is comparable to an atom from our perspective. What is giant to us is normal to others from the perspective of their world. And that world is a sub atomic particle in another universe. So on and so forth with in four levels. Our solar system is really just like an atom. The sun would would be the nucleus, and the planets revolving would be the protons and neutrons.. and so on within these four levels. And all of the other solar systems created something too large for us to comprehend and stars were just other nucleus or nuclei like our sun. The universe is in fact a single giant living organism of which our galaxy is similar in function to the basic atom of the overall organism. This organism is us or human like in form and the planets we live on. So then the Earth and all other planets are electrons and the Sun is a nucleus in some very big thing and our solar system is an atom in some massive object itself. This object being mankind and the worlds he lives on in four states of expansion. Atoms within atoms, galaxies within universes, universes within larger universe’s within these four expansions. The stars and their planets are like huge atoms, and galaxies were cells and the whole universe was some kind of organism, but our universe is a human like being that we live on and are a part of and it's make up and is our child. But that is only our universe, and there are many things out there made up of these types building blocks. I also touched on this in an article called An Expose On The 12 In 7. The following is an extract: The 12 fits into the 7 the way the 7 music scale fits into the 12 music scale. (Picture on right shows 12 planets orbiting close to the sun.) Where do we get the 12? In the beginning there is 4. Each of the 4 has three degrees. Some call these degrees Celestial, Terrestial and Telestial. 4 times 3 is 12. I had recently discovered different application of these 12 steps while reading Comte de ST. GERMAIN The Most Holy Trinosophia. In his spiritual journey he illustrates 12 steps or sections. The way I understand these steps is that it has to do with 12 expansions or a process representing this. Starting with the gnostic Monad, next the Barbello, the divine child , then Adam eye of light in the realm of Armozel, then Oriel, Davithai, and finally Eleleth which is the end. But the end is also the beginning, and the expansion continues from Eleleth who has already been counted to a different and outward expansion of Davithai, then the outward second expansion of Oriel, then Armozel, then the Divine Child, then Barbello and back to the Monad which is the end in this case and not counted since he is also the beginning. If we can grasp this then how does the 7 fit in this picture? As explained above, the example is the music scales. The chromatic scale has 12 steps and the 7 fits in it. If we can grasp this, then perhaps we can understand how all things are organized. The bodies are like this too. There are twelve bodies and the 7 fits into them like this. The physical and the spiritual also called astral bodies. There are 12 bodies and the 7 also represented as chakras and corresponding colors. The sun also has 12 bodies. And there are planets within these these orbits representing and being a part of them. For example, the earth is the 3rd planet from the sun and is in the corresponding astral sun body with that particular orbit. The sun then also in a corresponding orbit of the milky way galaxy. The Galaxy also has 12 astral type bodies including what we show perceive as a physical body. This Milky way galaxy in particular happens to be like a cell in the body of an Adam person in his third estate form of expansion. These estates and expansions are explained in the 4 estates of man. So the body of man are 12 astral type bodies including our perceptible physical. We in turn live within the corresponding body of the earth. Those who live in the spirit world on the other side live within one of the astral spheres and bodies of the earth. They go to which ever one they resonate with or is appropriate for whatever stage of development and progress they are at. The earth then is in the ethereal body of the sun. This is the astral body of the sun in whatever stage of development the earth is in. In this case the earth is in a transitional stage going from the 3rd to 4th density or dimensional as it has been called. The sun then within one of the show astral bodies of the galaxy, which ever one the level of progression the sun is in. The galaxy is like a cell of the body of Adam in his or her stage of development. This Adam also has 12 bodies, and is in on a planet of his own. His planet is expanded to 3rd estate size. The expanded planet also has 12 bodies and has potential for 4th estate expansion. So then if we can grasp the concept of we being the creator, then the beginning three (3) applies to us so to speak. I recently read how some physicists such as Nassim, Keshe, etc. are discovering the creative beginnings in three (3) as in the formation of plasma or the geometry of such in as the tetrahedron or the flower of life etc. I am learning these elementary things myself and there are geniuses much more advanced in this area. So then the next step is the 4 in order to complete this cycle of 7. The four (4) laws of existing and creation as described by Bashar comes to mind. They are well worth looking into. And although it is a bit over my head, I'm looking into a possible connection with Frank Chester's Chestahedron in a geometric sense. ![]() As the seven hills of Rome, the seven holy see's, the seven papal states, etc. And The Vatican has been thought by some to have a political arm headed up by the Jesuit order. And also an economic arm controlled by the world bankers and England's London city banks. And then a social arm in the Vatican City. This is comparable to the political order of the Levicital priesthood, the economic order of the Aaronic priesthood, and the social order of the patriarchal priesthood. There is also a spiritual order of the Melchizedek priesthood. Consider what Jesus had to say in regards to the corrupt priesthood of his day in an account recorded in the Life and Teachings vol. 3 page 70: “If you would realize, as I did and as so many have done, that it is far easier to work out your own problem in one earthly experience than it is to go on and on and accumulate a race consciousness of good and evil that soon becomes an encrusted shell; that has been added to, layer by layer, upon an encrustation by each succeeding experience, until it takes superhuman force and sledge-hammer blows to break the shell and release your true self. “Until you do break the shell and release your true self, you will continue to be ground in the same vortex. You can work until you have released yourself sufficiently to get a glimpse of the horizon’s ‘grander view.’ Here again you cease to struggle, your mental vision is cleared, but your body is still encased in the shell. Realize that the newborn chick, when its head is free from its shell, must still go on with the struggle. It must be entirely free from its old shell or environment before it can grow into the new, which it has sensed and perceived as soon as it has broken a hole through theshell once encasing the egg from which it grew. “You fail utterly to see that I, as a boy working at the carpenter’s bench with my father, perceived that there was a higher life for the God-born so-called human being than to be born into a human existence for a short time and, during that short existence, be ground between the millstones of man-made laws, superstitions, and conventions and thus struggle on through that existence for perhaps three score years and ten, then pass on to a heaven and a glorious reward of harps and psalm singing that could have no logical existence except in the gullible minds of those preyed upon by the priesthood of my day. *****
Phoenix Journal 37 Page 65: We
live in a highly manipulated world. Ideas are
manipulated through purposeful distortions in the press
and selective omissions in our all-pervasive public
education (indoctrination) system. Economic and
political realities are falsified by self-serving
establishment controllers and their minions in the
bureaucracy. Our society is controlled by an
"aristocracy", a small elite group of individuals who,
through control of the government, have obtained special
privileges in law and are thus able to live as parasites
off the labor of others (mostly the hard-working
American middle class) and amass large amounts of
unearned wealth. This current aristocracy operates
covertly and by deceit. The bankers are the main (but
not the only) element in this covert aristocracy. Using
many of the standard principles of aristocracy
(authoritarianism, statism, and the use of an
intellectual priesthood to deceive the public) they have
created a social system where robbery and exploitation
are systematized and legalized and where resistance to
the robber has been made a crime. "It is not the
function of our Government to keep the citizen from
falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to
keep the government from falling into error."--U.S.
Supreme Court What is priesthood? Written by Craig. Posted in Craig's Blog To understand this, we need to understand who and what we are. The universe in made up of swirling galaxies which , on a macro scale, are like the cells in our body. These galaxies make up the body of a child being resembling us. We people living on the planets in these galaxies are the mothers and fathers of the cosmic child we call the universe. Those people wishing to take part in the creation of this child would need to join the group of people who are given permission to be stewards of the resources of this universe. They get this authority from our progenitors. This is a priesthood. This could be called our 3rd estate. Our first estate was when we became spirit children. Our second estate is when we obtained our mortal bodies. And Our 3rd estate is when we join that group of people who create organize and plant the heavens in order to grow and create a cosmic child in this collective manor. Consider an explanation offered below in the Ra materials: The Law of One, Book II, Session 29 February 23, 1981 Ra: I am Ra. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I communicate now. Questioner: Is our sun a sub-Logos or the physical manifestation of a sub- Logos? Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. Questioner: Then I am assuming that this sub-Logos created this planetary system in all of its densities. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The sub-Logos of your solar entity differentiated some experiential components within the patterns of intelligent energy set in motion by the Logos which created the basic conditions and vibratory rates consistent throughout your, what you have called, major galaxy. Questioner: Then is this sub-Logos which is our sun the same sub-Logos just manifesting in different parts through the galaxy, or is it all the stars in the galaxy? Ra: I am Ra. Please restate. Questioner: What I’m saying is that there are roughly 250 billion stars somewhat like ours in this major galaxy. Are they all part of the same sub- Logos? Ra: I am Ra. They are all part of the same Logos. Your solar system, as you would call it, is a manifestation somewhat and slightly different due to the presence of a sub-Logos. Questioner: Let me be sure I’m right then. Our sun is a sub-Logos of the Logos of the major galaxy? Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. Questioner: Are there any sub-sub-Logoi that are found in our planetary system that are “sub” to our sun? Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. Questioner: Would you give me an example of what I will call a sub-sub- Logos? Ra: I am Ra. One example is your mind/body/spirit complex. Questioner: Then every entity that exists would be some type of sub or sub- sub-Logos. Is that correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is correct down to the limits of any observation, for the entire creation is alive. Questioner: Then the planet which we walk upon here would be some form of sub-sub-Logos. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. A planetary entity is so named only as Logos if It is working in harmonic fashion with entities or mind/body complexes upon Its surface or within Its electromagnetic field. Just like a mortal child, the comic child has a blue print or design of sorts. There is an overall plan. This is like the genes or DNA in a human, Our freedom of creation would need to stay within the parameters of this plan or design. Love and charity for this cosmic child is the key. As parents, we want the best interest of our child. We want our child to be healthy. Our first and second estates are like this too. Lucifer was unwilling to follow the design of his second estate. He didn’t want to obey the rules. So he was not allowed to be part of the group of parents of a mortal body. He was not allowed access to the resources. In the end, he is to be thrown out of the body of this cosmic child. His future exit of this universe has been called the bottomless pit. Perhaps his destiny is to take part of a different type of comic body more to his liking? Such as a goat type? Either way, he is not to take part in the creation of this comic child we call our universe. As future parents we join humanity on a larger scale. We join the order of priesthood as held by others in our solar system, then our galaxy and so on to be parts of larger groups. This is our progression in authority and priesthood. When we gain access to these planetary resources, we also become companions to other creators we could call gods. We also are future gods. In joining this order, we gain the company of our fellow creators. Even though we may not see them right away, we can feel their presence. This authority is often accompanied by the shared experiences of our fellow creators and companions who are more advanced and enlightened. These feelings are like the holy ghost. The holy spirit is something that becomes increased with priesthood. WE already have priesthood. We had to have authority or permission to gain access to the resources necessary to get mortal bodies in our second estate. This also happened in this way in our first estate when we became spirit children. If we choose to join the 3rd estate to become part of the order pertaining to this cosmic child we call the universe, we become able to progress much faster. This is like a short cut in our return to the eternity we came from. There are many paths and ways to progress. In this way, we can gain access to help and enlightenment from more advanced beings, including the holy ghost people. The holy ghost people are from a very distant part of creation and came here to help us advance more quickly. They also share with us a more advanced and refined spirit which has been called the holy spirit. This is an influence unseen and often undetected by people, although we can generally can feel the presence and effects. This agreement to help and participate in our progress is between our parents, the cosmic child , the holy ghost people, and us. This has been termed the new and everlasting covenant. The plain everlasting covenant is what we participated in when we agreed to our second estate to gain access to our mortal bodies. So the New and Everlasting Covenant, is that which pertains to our participation in joining the order of creators of this cosmic child universe. There are different orders within this priesthood, which I have more fully explained in the following chart. The priesthood is also for being guardians , or proxies and helpers, for less developed people who are unable to understand or accept their own divinity. The Vine Written by Craig. Posted in Craig's Blog Each world has it's own savior. This Savior is the one chosen by each world group to represent the collective parents of the child we call our universe. These are the collective mankind that make their home on the planets that make up this child universe. In a similar way that the atoms in our own body make up the substance of our bodies. The collective man-kind who make up the collective parents of this child universe are the Father. This collective father are a collective life form that makes it's home on the designated savior of each planet. This life form are intelligent beings who colonize the worlds which make up the fleshly bodies of these saviors. They are intelligent beings who make their homes on these planet like atoms which make up the bodies of people. The Saviors are the first ones to have this collective lives of the fathers expand and colonize the atom like worlds that make up their bodies. These intelligent beings colonize the bodies and are transferred to the bodies of the saviors to us by physical contact. Which is why Christ is the vine, and life is transferred by the laying on of hands. When we are touched by the savior, the intelligent beings are transferred from his body to ours. They colonize our worlds which are the atoms that make up our bodies. They have offspring and move grow and colonize our bodies as a new birth of a being which is a spirit like child. This is how people abtain their third estate. This third estate means that people become the fathers of this child universe. They become gods, creating organizing and colonizing other worlds with their own offspring and growing the body and spirit of the child universe. People may choose not to be part of the body of this universe. They can choose to leave and be part of a different universe more to their liking. |
A tale of two cities:The first and second orders of priesthood that I refer to as the Davitical and the Levitical, or the political and economic powers and orders. The political, the tribe of Judah and the economic, the tribe of Levi.Jeremiah 33 10 “This is what the Lord says: ‘You say about this place, “It is a desolate waste, without people or animals.” Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord, saying, “Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good; his love endures forever.” For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,’ says the Lord. 12 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In this place, desolate and without people or animals—in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks. 13 In the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev, in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord. 14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah. 15 “‘In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do what is just and right in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it[c] will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’ 17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical priests ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.’” 19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 “This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time, 21 then my covenant with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. 22 I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’” 23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms[d] he chose’? So they despise my people and no longer regard them as a nation. 25 This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not made my covenant with day and night and established the laws of heaven and earth, 26 then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes[e] and have compassion on them.’” There are two lands that I bring in to focus: The old and New Jerusalem. The Book Of Enoch page 60: And those ravens fought and battled with it and sought to lay low its horn, but they had no power over it. All the eagles and vultures and ravens and kites were gathered together, and there came with them all the sheep of the field, yea, they all came together, and helped each other to break that horn of the ram. 19 And I saw till a great sword was given to the sheep, and the sheep proceeded against all the beasts of the field to slay them, and all the beasts and the birds of the heaven fled before their face. And I saw that man, who wrote the book according to the command of the Lord, till he opened that book concerning the destruction which those twelve last shepherds had wrought, and showed that they had destroyed much more than their predecessors, before the Lord of the sheep. And I saw till the Lord of the sheep came unto them and took in His hand the staff of His wrath, and smote the earth, and the earth clave asunder, and all the beasts and all the birds of the heaven fell from among those sheep, and were swallowed up in the earth and it covered them. 20 And I saw till a throne was erected in the pleasant land, and the Lord of the sheep sat Himself thereon, and the other took the sealed books and opened those books before the Lord of the sheep. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Micah 5:8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. These two lands will have two peoples living on them. And they will be connected to the land in a particular manner: Isaiah 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. This is the difference that makes for a male child. A people connected to a land and having full priesthood established and become as it were, a male child to rule the earth as with an iron rod: Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. The city of Enoch is an example of a male child being connected to the land that made up the gulf of Mexico. And they and the land with them were relocated to colonize Venus as a movable earth ship type of island. There are two males referred to in prophesy who are these two cities above mentioned: Revelation 11:1-14 11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lamp stands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a] 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. Isaiah 51:20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God. The Second Book of Nephi Chapter 8 18 And none to guide her among all the sons she hath brought forth; neither that taketh her by the hand, of all the sons she hath brought up. 19 These two sons are come unto thee, who shall be sorry for thee—thy desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword—and by whom shall I comfort thee? 20 Thy sons have fainted, save these two; they lie at the head of all the streets; as a wild bull in a net, they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God. THE TESTAMENT OF NAPHTALI CHAPTER 5 6 And lo, a bull upon the earth, with two great horns Micah 4:13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. Hence the importance of relocating the Jews to Israel and some native Americans of the Mentinah Archives prophecies to the area of New Jerusalem pointed out on a previous post. As this is god's blueprint or the plan of the people long ago established in councils, which is our plan because we were there.

The First
Order: Read more about the 1st order The first order is political in nature. It has been called the Levitical priesthood. Even though, it would be more appropriate to call it the Davidical priesthood. This is because the tribe of Judah was given the blessing to have access to this. This Davitical priesthood is an appendage to the Levitical priesthood. This is because all priesthood orders are appendages of those orders above them. The Testament Of Naphtali: CHAPTER 5 1 For in the fortieth year of my life, I saw a vision on the Mount of Olives, on the east of Jerusalem, that the sun and the moon were standing still. 2 And behold Isaac, the father of my father, said to us: Run and lay hold of them, each one according to his strength; and to him that seizeth them will the sun and moon belong. 3 And we all of us ran together, and Levi laid hold of the sun, and Judah outstripped the others and seized the moon, and they were both of them lifted up with them. 4 And when Levi became as a sun, lo, a certain young man gave to him twelve branches of palm; and Judah was bright as the moon, and under their feet were twelve rays. CHAPTER 8 1 And lo! my children, I have shown unto you the last times, how everything shall come to pass in Israel. 2 Do ye also, therefore, charge your children that they be united to Levi and to Judah; For through them shall salvation arise unto Israel, And in them shall Jacob be blessed. 3 For through their tribes shall God appear dwelling among men on earth, To save the race of Israel, And to gather together the righteous from amongst the Gentiles. THE TESTAMENT OF JUDAH: 34 And Isaac, the father of my father, blessed me to be king in Israel, and Jacob further blessed me in like manner. 35 And I know that from me shall the kingdom be established. The tribe of Judah is said to take the lead in the political kingdom. And when fully established it will have seven offices and quarms or orders. The Assyrians were referred to in Micah and they were a political power. And political power has to do with the first order of priesthood and the tribe of Judah and offices have to do with the descendants of Jesse and King David. The first is a political order with seven steps or offices and quarms. Micah 5:5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. ------------------- The eight is best explained in the Law Of One: http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16 Ra: I am Ra. The term density is a, what you call, mathematical one. The closest analogy is that of music, whereby after seven notes on your western type of scale, if you will, the eighth note begins a new octave. Within your great octave of existence which we share with you, there are seven octaves or densities. Within each density there are seven sub-densities. Within each sub-density, are seven sub-sub-densities. Within each sub-sub-density, seven sub-sub-sub-densities and so on infinitely. Isaiah 9:6-7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Malachi Chapter 4 2 ¶But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Read more about the 1st order |
The Second Order:![]() The tribe of Levi was to have access to this and is mentioned above in the Testament of Naphtali. Egypt is referred in prophesy in some cases representing the economic order. This makes sense if compared to the biblical story of Joseph in Egypt where a granary was implemented. The history of banks trace their origins to the granaries of old, and was the basis upon which the economic system and the banks were founded on. Isaiah 11:15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. The above prophesy helps us understand the economic order of Aaron and the role of seven steps, offices and orders and quarms of the priesthood as it applies the the economic order of which the Levites and the descendants of Aaron were to play a leading role. Read more about the 2nd order The Third Order:Read more about the 3rd orderThe third order of priesthood is of a social nature. This is the patriarchal priesthood. This priesthood was obtained by Abraham and was continued in a shared manner among the twelve tribes of Israel with the presiding order passed on to the tribe of Joseph: THE TESTAMENT OF NAPHTALI CHAPTER 5 6 And lo, a bull upon the earth, with two great horns, and an eagle's wings upon his back; and we wished to seize him, but could not. 7 But Joseph came, and seized him, and ascended up with him on high. ------------------------------- Again, Assyria is associated with the first order which is political and the tribe of Judah, Egypt is associated with the economic order and the tribe of Levi, and Israel is here representing the social order of the patriarchal priesthood and Israel. This means the twelve patriarchs and the sons of Jacob meaning the twelve tribes presided over by the tribe of Joseph. And this is Israel the inheritance of the patriarchs of the order of Abraham. Isaiah 19:23-25 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing[a] on the earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” Read more about the 3rd order Elijah The ProphetElijah the prophet is to return and connect the children with the fathers. This is a social and patriarchal function. The ruling patriarchal tribe was blessed to the tribe of Joseph. They are to take the lead in this patriarchal priesthood of Abraham. The gospel of Abraham has to do with this priesthood. The eastern tribe of Manasseh was located in Gilead where Elijah was from. Portugal is associated with Eastern Manasseh. Portugal was given access to colonize south America. Spain is associated with western Manasseh. Spain was given access to colonize the lower areas of the northern American continent. Lehi, who was a progenitor of the book of Mormon people and some native Americans, were also said to be descended from Manasseh. (see Alma 10:3 And Aminadi was a descendant of Nephi, who was the son of Lehi, who came out of the land of Jerusalem, who was a descendant of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by the hands of his brethren.) He and his descendents were given access to colonize south America. This is because he is related to eastern Manasseh, the Portuguese and Elijah. This is one of the reasons why the remnant who are related to this book of Mormon people are associated with the patriarchal function of connecting the children and the parents and are a collective part of this Elijah the prophet role.The Book of Helaman Chapter 6 10 Now the land south was called Lehi, and the land north was called Mulek, which was after the son of Zedekiah; for the Lord did bring Mulek into the land north, and Lehi into the land south. The RemnantWritten by Craig. Posted in Craig's BlogFor my purposes, they are the descendants of Joseph as referred to in the Book or Mormon as well as in the Mentinah archives. Both contain histories of these people. Our story begins with Abraham who obtained the keys to the Patriarchal priesthood. This Priesthood in particular, came down to us from our father Adam, who was the seeding creator and progenitor of the species of this planet as it pertains to us. The order of this patriarchal system is passed down to all descendants of Adam and carried within their blood line. All people carry priesthood, and inherit gifts and powers from their respective family lines. People are called to be and do and exercise their powers according to their own worthiness, and appointed by the general consensus of mankind as administered by those in charge of representing us and our interests. Many of these work anonymously and are not always known or seen by the fledgling peoples of this planet. The ruling patriarchs are appointed by the most worthy, with preference being given to the right of the firstborn, or oldest worthy family line. Special note being given to the term worthy. Only the worthy are appointed and given commissions in the priesthood orders. So claims to authority by virtue of lineage and rights of the firstborn and also claims from confirmation and ordinations to and from certain priesthood lines and or personages become irrelevant. Every human being has priesthood of some kind or another. It is worthiness which allows the person to be appointed and commissioned to function in whatever priesthood capacity they may have. In the biblical days of the judges, the priesthood was carried in the bloodline of all Israelites. Samson never claimed any priesthood. He just grabbed a jawbone of an ass and went to work. The fact is, he inherited the gift and power to do so by priesthood. But he exercised the power of a judge in Israel because he was worthy and had the ability to be and do so. Abraham obtained the ruling patriarchal priesthood over the family of Adam. He was blessed and all kindreds of the earth were to be blessed through the authority continued in his blood line. If the most worthy person does not have the priesthood in his bloodline, there is the available power of adoption, where the most worthy is adopted into that family line. A notable example of this is Jesus. He inherited the keys to the political kingdom, from King David of the tribe of Judah, which tribe inherited the order of priesthood of the political order of kings. It was by this authority he was able to be crucified for the sins of the world and grant a civil pardon to the inhabitants. But he could also claim lineage from King David by way adoption from his stepfather Joseph. Joseph inherited the patriarchal order which presides over the family of Adam from his grandfather Abraham. And the keys were passed on to Saint Peter. Hence, the Pope and the Orthodox patriarchs get their line via St. Peter. But the Ruling patriarchal order went to the Tribe of Joseph with a preference given the the tribe of Ephraim. It was this patriarchal order that was brought to the Americas by The book of Mormon father Lehi. And then on to the modern day native Americans. The native Americans also have the bloodline of King Zedekiah of the tribe of Judah as well as the bloodline from Aaron of the tribe of Levi. Some British Ephraimites obtained a limited authority via The LDS Church. It has been prophesied that they would become abusive and the authority would be passed on to the native Americans. These are the remnant of which I refer to. This remnant was to have blood intermingled with Jesus. Jesus is the son of Adam who's anonymity has been cloaked in the office of Michael the archangel. In other words, Adam is and holds the office of Michael the archangel. Since Jesus is the son of Adam, he carries the priesthood of the archangels in his bloodline. This is one of the reason Jesus's bloodline is to establish a race of people called the branch and also the remnant in the end days. Again, it is based on worthiness. If a person becomes worthy and lacks the bloodline, the option of adoption in Jesus's family or any family is available. This has been explained in the Mentinah Archives: The Mentinah Archives Volume One thru Nine (As of Jan. 12, 2011) Page 639 44. For they shall have been prepared by all that the Lord did accomplish through the Gentiles. And even there shall be some few from among the Gentiles who shall continue to be His servants, and shall set aside the riches and the enticements of the world to serve Him. They shall not want of reward. Nay, behold, they shall be numbered in among the children of Lehi by adoption. And all wherein the Lord has blessed them shall also be a blessing unto they who become the Sons and Daughters of Lehi and of Levi. But they shall not pollute the way of the Lord with the filthiness of men. The plan and method of establishing a one people is in the intermingling of all races on the planet with particular emphasis on the bloodline of Jesus. The eclecticism of eighteenth-century France is an of example of a movement in sexual politics which allowed the intermingling of the blood lines on a larger scale. The free love movement of the 60's is another example. This is part of the blueprint and design of Humanity's growth. Polygamy was implemented for this purpose as well. Although the principle and purpose has been misunderstood and abused. The object was for the people with a strong amount of certain bloodlines to intermingle with other races and multiply on a large scale. Not for long term control, slavery or for sensual gratification. Rather, the idea was for people to have very short term affairs to allow for mingling of the blood lines with minimal commitments and not the long term commitments which were the cause of so much suffering and enslavement of family groups of women and children to one man. ============================ These people of the patriarchal family and order collectively comprise a ![]() Malachi 4:5-6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. The patriarchal priesthood also has a role in blessing and curses on the temporal or the world. And also the sealing of promises and contracts that are viable in the eternal worlds made available through them to the people in this temporal world realm. The higher order of Melchizedek has no need of this since they already have a power and presence in the eternal worlds or heaven as it has also been called. Therefore, they of the Melchizedek order have no need of any sealing powers of the patriarchal order, because they already are there and have this spiritual power available to them already. They are as the angels and translated beings and have access to this power through this Melchizedek order. Along with the power to bless is the power to heal. These patriarchal healers have also been called evangelists. An evangelist is a preacher of the gospel. So an evangelist preaching the gospel of Abraham whom all kindred of the earth were to be blessed through his seed is a social and a patriarchal function. And laying on of hands and for blessings and healing is a part of this patriarchal role. And since many British Ephraimites and other Israelites already carry this patriarchal order in their bloodlines, it may not be necessary for them to have this conferred on them since they already have it. A commission from the Savior may be enough for them to function as patriarchs in what ever capacity they may have inherited. History of the Church, 3:381 Joseph Smith taught that: “an Evangelist is a Patriarch, even the oldest man of the blood of Joseph or of the seed of Abraham."

Posted in 7x7 priesthood The need for priesthood is an illusion. We are God, and god is the priesthood. Those who don't know this need someone to guide them, and this is the what the priesthood is for. Think of it as children who need temporary guardians. When ever they become aware of their own divinity, they won't need anyone to represent god for them. Advanced beings have no need of this.Read more about this at: Priesthood is explained The Mentinah Archives Volume One thru Nine (As of Jan. 12, 2011) Page 544 19. Let not language determine what is priesthood and what is not. Priesthood is not the man. Nay, nor is it his calling or his station. It is the commission of Christ. And if a man has received the commission of Christ and the Holy Ghost confirms, then you may know with a surety that it is done unto him by revelation. And if the commission has been received by revelation, then let that man be ordained, for he possesses priesthood already. Yea, he is a priest unto his God, wherefore, let him be ordained. 20. And it is according to the words of Christ which we did receive of Him directly when He did visit the Nemenhah in the flesh, that all women have received the commission of the Mother. They too have priesthood already, wherefore, let them be called and ordained by the laying on of hands as a token of their covenant. Let them administer in all things wherein the Holy Ghost does direct.

See The Septenary Principle in Esotericism. Women And Priesthood.The role of women in priesthood has been explained in the Mentinah Archives:The Mentinah Archives Volume One thru Nine (As of Jan. 12, 2011) The Nemenhah page 47 Now, behold ye Nemenhah, the daughters of Ahthahn are blessed from before the foundation of the world. Behold, my daughters, by the nature of your creation, ye do serve all people. Yea, it is good that ye do organize yourselves in all your good and that ye do uphold this nation as ye presently do. But behold the orders of the Priesthood are for the sons of Ahthahn, to be an instrument unto them that they may train their natures to be more like unto the daughters of Ayayfah (Eve). Yea, that by the sweat of their face, even by their strength, they might learn to give of themselves for the sake of others. For how shall they become like me if they do not that which I have done? But, ye Daughters of Ayayfah, ye do it already. Wherefore, covet not that which I have given unto men, but rejoice and know that ye may seek my face without other preparation than that which ye have received by your nature. For ye receive of the Mother even a more complete Priesthood than the orders of the Priesthood that I give unto men, in order that they may prove themselves thereby. But purify yourselves all ye Nemenhah. Yea, be ye man or woman, or little child, purify yourselves. Receive the Holy Ghost and cleanse yourselves of unrighteousness. ============================================================= page 523 43. Behold, the priesthood of God is a serious matter to the Nemenhah and we do not trifle with it. It is not given to any person without the clear and certain commission of the Lord. And this commission comes to a person by and through the power of the Holy Ghost. 44. Now, there is nothing that is necessary for the salvation of the soul that the Lord might command that differs from the covenant that He did enter into with the Father and with the Holy Ghost. Wherefore, women, having already received the saving grace and commission of the Mother, already possess the priesthood of God. But behold, they must also receive a confirmation of the calling before taking it up for the Lord. 45. But men have not this grace from their birth and must receive it from the Peacemaker. This is why the Nemenhah do confer upon those men who are called of God, the priesthood after the orders thereof. And they are ordained to the offices that are assigned thereto by the laying on of hands after that they have received the commission. Behold, only they who have received the commission of the Lord to do so may confer or ordain by the laying on of hands. 46. Whereas, women are called to the office with a holy calling and a blessing by the laying on of hands as a token of the commission only. For they have the priesthood already conferred upon them and shall anyone confer that which is already given? 47. And how shall anyone know that they have truly received the commission and that they do act according to the word and will of the Lord? Behold, they do not set themselves up or apart from their neighbors. Nay, they do not wear special attire which sets them apart. And they do not set a mark of any kind upon themselves to give them distinction, that all might look and see that they possess the priesthood of God. 48. It is the responsibility of every person to seek the confirmation of the Holy Ghost that any person has the right to speak and act in the name of God. And this is done every time an ordinance that requires the commission of the Lord is to be performed. Behold, the participants shall fast and pray, and if they receive not the confirmation that the right individual has been chosen to perform the ordinance, they return again to fasting and prayer. 49. Behold, these things are of such import that they are never rushed into. And if the confirmation of the Holy Ghost is not received, the person is not judged worthy or unworthy. It is merely that they have not the commission of the Lord in that thing at that time. For, the priesthood of God is not a thing that is given to all and all at once. It is a thing that must be cultivated and cared for throughout one‟s life. 50. Yea behold, I may receive the commission on one day and then on the next I may be found in anger against my neighbor. In that moment I have lost the commission of the Lord. It is only after I have repented and made good my error that the commission returns unto me. Therefore, the priesthood becomes a constant reminder to each individual of the determinate need to be in constant harmony with the Lord in all things. It is in this way that the Lord uses the priesthood to teach and to train us to become like Him in all things. 51. And so great is the import of this principle that it has been revealed and written that no man may take up this honor unto himself, but that he is called of God as was Aaron, the brother of Moses the prophet. 52. Now, Aaron was called up to the office of High Priest unto his people by the mouth of a prophet of God. But do you suppose that this was done without Aaron‟s having received any intelligence of it? Nay, believe it not, for I say unto you that Aaron did inquire of the Lord in the matter. And, after that he had spent much time and effort in repenting of his faults and his errors, the Lord did convey unto him through the power of the Holy Ghost the commission to do all that the prophet called him to do. 53. And Moses and Aaron were sons of Levi and they did answer the call of the Lord and they did act according to the commission of the Lord. Therefore, they did possess the priesthood and were justified in all that they did in righteousness. 54. Does that mean that they were justified in all things because they had the priesthood of God? I say unto you, Nay. Behold how neither of them were allowed to go down into the promised land but were taken from the earth before the children of Israel received their inheritance. 55. Wherefore, take heed all you who would claim to possess the right and power to speak and act in the name of Jesus Christ, the Peacemaker. Yes, have a care what you do and say in His name. For, if you seek not to be commissioned in all things and in all times, the priesthood shall be a thing of naught in you and, though you claim to have received it by ordinance after a set pattern, you shall speak the name of the Lord in vain and you shall lay upon Him actions that are not His. Behold, you shall sow great confusion in the day that you do this. Yea, a generation may go into confusion before the Lord will correct your evil. =================================================================== page 527 20. And it is according to the words of Christ which we did receive of Him directly when He did visit the Nemenhah in the flesh, that all women have received the commission of the Mother. They too have priesthood already, wherefore, let them be called and ordained by the laying on of hands as a token of their covenant. Let them administer in all things wherein the Holy Ghost does direct. 21. And behold, they may also receive the commission of the Peacemaker. Yea, and when they do, they are doubly blessed. Let them be administered to with an ordinance, and ordained and sustained and supported in their calling. ====================================================================== page 547 12. Now, when women are called unto this work, the order of this priesthood is not conferred upon them, for they work in the covenant under that which the Mother has already conferred. Wherefore, how may we confer ought else? And behold, does the Lord work against His own mother? Or does He place Himself above Her in anything? I say unto you, He does not. For, He is the same who commanded all people to honor their father and their mother, that their days may long upon the land the Lord their God has given them. Wherefore, how then shall we? Behold, let us emulate the Lord. 13. But when a woman shall request this priesthood, she shall also go unto one who has already received it and she shall relate how that she has received the commission of the Lord by revelation. Then she shall be taken and she shall be introduced into this order by an ordinance also, except that the Order of Levi shall not be conferred upon her, but she is ordained to that Order. Rather, she is ordained with an ordinance. And that person shall take her and lay hands upon her and, saying her name plainly, shall pronounce a blessing and ordain her unto this priesthood, saying: 14. By the commission I have received of the Lord, I ordain you according to the Order of Levi. You shall hereafter be known as a priest and teacher of this order and I do this in the name of the Peacemaker. 15. And they who become priests and teachers after this order of priesthood assist the High Priest in all things. Yea, they do keep the synagogue and they do teach the people. And they do keep peace in the community, for they work under the commission of the Peacemaker. And it is their work to prepare the hearts of all men and women to make a sacred sacrifice for the sake of all living and for the Lord. ========================================================= page 549 25. Now, when women are called unto this work, the order of this priesthood is not conferred upon them, for they work in the covenant under that which the Mother has already conferred. 26. But when any woman shall request this priesthood, she shall also go unto one who has already received it and she shall relate how that she has received the commission of the Lord by revelation and that she is determined to serve Him in all things. Then she shall be taken and she shall be introduced into this order by an ordinance also, except that the Order of the Son of God shall not be conferred upon her. Rather, she is ordained unto it with an ordinance. And that person shall take her and lay hands upon her and, saying her name plainly, they shall pronounce a blessing and ordain her unto this priesthood, saying: 27. By the commission I have received of the Lord, I ordain you according to the Order of the Son of God. You shall hereafter be known as a High Priest and Peli of this order and I do this in the name of the Peacemaker. 28. And they who become High Priests and Peli after this order of priesthood assist the Lord and the Councils in all things, just as they who become priests and teachers assist the High Priests and Peli. Yea, they do keep the High Place and the archives, and they do teach the people. And they also do keep peace in the community, for they too work under the commission of the Peacemaker. And it is their work to prepare the hearts of all men and women to stand in the very presence of the Mother and of the Father and receive of them the fullness. ================================================================== page 566 And when this is done, they are taken aside and hands are laid upon them, and they are ordained unto these callings. 19. And behold, the Peli do choose a Council of thirteen from among them and they do confer upon them the priesthood of Melchizedek, even after the pattern given by the Lord. And they do this upon receiving the commission of the Lord by revelation. And in this way, the council that He appointed is preserved. And behold, it is out of this council that the people do choose and call up their High Priests. And behold, every city does this same thing. 20. And when a man is called up to this council, he is taken aside by the whole council and this priesthood is conferred upon the man and he is ordained an High Priest by the laying on of hands. And when a woman is called up to this council, she is also taken aside by the council and she is ordained an High Priest by the laying on of hands. But behold, this order of priesthood is not conferred upon her, for she has it already of the Mother. Wherefore, how may we confer it? 21. And behold, the people choose from among this council who shall be High Priest of the city. And, upon the election, the council does take the one elected, be they man or woman, and they do lay hands upon the elected and ordain them High Priest of the city. 22. Now, these are the ordinances of the priesthood, and they are for the edification of the people. ============================================= Page 393 94. Wherefore, the seven companions guided them unto a river wherein there was much water. And Him-pah-neth took them one by one by the hand and, going down into the water with them, she did baptize them each in turn. 95. And these are the words she did raise up unto the Lord when she did baptize the seven companions, for, she did speak as the Spirit directed, saying: 96. Holy Father which is in Heaven, look upon us now. For we do raise up a song of thanksgiving for all that you have given us. And we do especially thank you for the sacrifice of your Son. Now take this – and she spoke the name of the individual – even into a covenant by this washing in token of the repentance he has dedicated unto you. Wherefore, having authority given of me by the Mother, and having received a commission of Jesus Christ, and also having a confirmation of that commission by the power of the Holy Ghost, I do baptize you – and she spoke again the name of the individual – in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen. 97. And when she had spoken these words, she lowered them into the water, even to the covering of their entire body. And behold, when she raised them again out of the water, she was filled with the Holy Ghost and she did pronounce a blessing upon them, insomuch that the Spirit did come in unto them and they did speak in the tongues of Angels and they did also prophesy many great things. |
The Fourth Order:Read more about the 4th orderThe Melchizedek Priesthood The patriarchal priesthood also has a role in blessing and curses on the temporal or the world. And also the sealing of promises and contracts that are viable in the eternal worlds made available through them to the people in this temporal world realm. The higher order of Melchizedek has no need of this since they already have a power and presence in the eternal worlds or heaven as it has also been called. Therefore, they of the Melchizedek order have no need of any sealing powers of the patriarchal order, because they already are there and have this spiritual power available to them already. They are as the angels and translated beings and have access to this power through this Melchizedek order.

Read more about the 4th order Priesthood is explained Written by Craig. Posted in Craig's Blog The need for priesthood is an illusion. We are God, and god is the priesthood. Those who don't know this need someone to guide them, and this is the what the priesthood is for. Advanced beings have no need of this. An explanation of this is also offered in the works of Chrisopher Nemelka. From the works of Christopher Marc Nemelka: AND now, I, Moroni, have been instructed by the Spirit to write an explanation of the priesthood of God which I have mentioned previously in this record. And this explanation is also taken from the words of the brother of Jared. But again I say unto you, that I knew the true meaning of this priesthood, having received this knowledge from the Spirit of God that hath accompanied me all the days of my life. 2 And it shall come to pass that the knowledge of this priesthood shall be had among the Jews and the Gentiles in the last days. Nevertheless, they shall not understand this priesthood, nor shall they have the Spirit to teach them the truth regarding these things, because they choose not to follow the words of Christ in righteousness, and therefore, have forfeited the right to know these things. 3 For it shall come to pass that this priesthood shall be misunderstood and misused in such a way that men will begin to exercise control and dominion over the souls of the children of men; because in their pride, they will claim that they have been given the authority to do so by those who have the authority to give this power unto them. 4 In the beginning there existed no priesthood of God, for all were equal like unto the Son of God, therefore there was no need for this priesthood. 5 Behold, there existed an Order of spirits that committed themselves to the plan that the Father had presented unto them. And this Order of spirits promised the Father that they would follow the commands of His Son according to all things whatsoever he would command them. 6 And this Order became known as the Holy Order of the Son of God, having been organized and ordained by those spirits in the kingdom of the Father who were the firm supporters of the plan of salvation as presented unto us by the Father. TSP 9:7– 9:20 7 And it were these same spirits who kept their first estate and entered into mortality where they would pass the days of their probation. 8 Behold, it was during the times of the wickedness of the children of men that the Lord allowed to be instituted upon the earth symbolic representations of this Holy Order. For behold, it is his desire, and hath always been the desire of the Lord, to teach all of his children the same things that each heard when each of them was present in the spirit world listening to the teachings of our common Eternal Father. 9 But because of the frailties and wickedness of the children of men, the Lord allowed to be established a Holy Priesthood which would officiate in the offices necessary to teach the people the things that they would need to do to keep them in remembrance of him and his commandments. 10 And it is this priesthood after the Order of the Son of God that the Lord alloweth to be established in the churches that he suffereth the children of men to organize among themselves so that they can worship him and learn of his commandments. Now, I say that the Lord suffereth these things to take place among the children of men because this is not the plan or the purpose of the Lord. 11 For as I have said, the children of men find it easier to hear the word of God from mortals, who share their same means of communication, than they do by listening to the promptings of the Holy Spirit of Promise. 12 Behold, the Lord sorroweth in the formation of any organized form of religion where men are called upon to perform in the offices and appendages of the Holy Priesthood. For many times these ordained leaders become wicked and mislead the people away from his commandments and cause the heavens to withdraw themselves. And when the heavens withdraw themselves from among the people, the spirit of the Lord is grieved. And when the spirit of the Lord is grieved, there can be no more power in this priesthood, and it becometh a thing of naught. 13 Nevertheless, because the children of men refuse to obtain their knowledge and their direction directly from the Holy Ghost, who hath the proper authority to bestow it upon them, the Lord suffereth his children to hear the words of salvation from leaders who have been ordained to a position of authority in the Holy Priesthood and have received this authority according to the formation of the religions that he suffereth to be created among the children of men for their sake. 14 And this he suffereth that there may exist some order upon the earth regarding the preaching of his gospel and the establishment of the religions of men to teach this gospel unto the people. 15 And again, I, Moroni, caution you to beware of the religions and priesthoods of men, especially those that shall be established for the sake of the children of men in the last days. 16 Behold, for this purpose the Lord hath caused to be written the holy scriptures, even those things which ye are now reading from the works of my hands. Yea, the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ can be found in these writings, and with these writings the children of men can judge their leaders whether they have power in their supposed priesthood or not. 17 And because of the weakness of the Nephites and the Lamanites when the resurrected Lord visited them, according to the record of Nephi, the Lord suffered a church to be established among them. 18 And he called forth twelve men to whom he gave the authority to teach the people. And now, my beloved brothers and sisters, what was it that the Lord commanded his disciples to teach unto the people? 19 Do ye believe that these people were spared from the great destruction wrought throughout the promised land because they were righteous? Behold, if ye believe this, then ye do not understand the record that my father hath prepared for you. 20 Behold, I say unto you that these people were not righteous. For did not the Lord proclaim unto them, even out of the great darkness that did cover the land of Bountiful: Oh, all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you? Chapter 9 29 TSP 9:21– 9:35 21 Behold, the Lord knew that these people would not listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, and therefore it was necessary that he set up a church among them and establish an order in this church according to the ministrations of a holy priesthood. 22 And he commanded those whom he had called to teach the people to go forth and baptize the people and teach them the commandments of the Father that he would give unto them. 23 And the Lord commanded the people that they should offer up no more sacrifices by the shedding of blood as they had been taught in their traditions according to the law of Moses. 24 And he said unto them: And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not. 25 And now my beloved brothers and sisters, how can it be that the Lamanites were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost seeing as they had no church established among them, yea neither did they have any type of priesthood to administer this ordinance unto them? 26 Yea, many of the Lamanites were brought unto God by the preaching and patience of the prophets of God who lived among them. And these same prophets of God surely belonged to the Holy Priesthood after the Holy Order of the Son of God, yet they did not have authority to perform the ordinances and act in the authority of a church, nevertheless they were prophets of God. 27 And according to the record of my father Mormon, the people of King Limhi, who were Nephites, accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ as it had been taught to them by Ammon. And King Limhi and his people were desirous to be baptized and form a church among them, not understanding the workings of the Holy Ghost which had been the cause of their conversion. 28 But Ammon refused to use his authority to organize a church among them and baptize them. For Ammon knew that it was not his 30 The Sealed Portion—The Final Testament of Jesus Christ mission to form a church among them, and that the authority to do this was passed down by a holy anointing given by those in authority in the church of God. 29 And the church of God had become corrupt because the wicked King Noah and the High Priests of the church had caused the people to commit many sins against God because of their examples. And was not Alma one of these wicked priests who had been anointed by the church to perform the ordinances therein? 30 And even though Alma was wicked, he still maintained his standing in the Holy Priesthood that was set up within the church to maintain order therein. And after Alma heard the words of the prophet Abinadi, he fled from before the other High Priests and lost his standing in the church. Nevertheless, he did not lose his priesthood authority. 31 For this reason the people of Limhi sought out Alma and his priesthood authority so that they could be baptized as a witness and a testimony that they were willing to serve God with all their hearts and keep his commandments. 32 And these commandments of God are the words that the resurrected Lord gave unto the Nephites and the Lamanites that were spared in the land of Bountiful because they were more righteous than those that were killed. 33 And these were the same commandments that Jesus gave unto the Jews when he lived among them at Jerusalem. And he also suffered that a church was organized among the people at Jerusalem. And he laid his hands upon his apostles and commissioned them, or in other words, gave them the authority to act in his name according to the commandments that he had given unto them to teach to the people, thus showing them an example of how he suffereth the Holy Priesthood to be instituted properly in the religions of men. 34 And now my beloved brothers and sisters, what efficacy do ye suppose this calling and authority of the priesthood hath in the kingdom of God? 35 Behold, before ye are allowed to enter into the kingdom of God ye are required to have the capacity and the understanding of living TSP 9:36– 9:48 according to the commandments of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and have proven yourselves worthy to live by this standard forever. Therefore, what need do ye think ye will have of a church? And what need will there be for a holy priesthood if there is no church established among you? 36 And those of you who belong to the Holy Order of the Son of God, of what need will there be to have prophets and apostles, yea, even the scriptures that teach you the commandments by which ye should live, when ye already belong to an Order of men and women that knoweth and liveth by these things? 37 Therefore, I say unto you, that the priesthoods of men are suffered by the Lord so that he might teach his children his words in a way that they might understand them. And these priesthoods are necessary for the order of his church, which church only pertaineth to the children of men in the flesh. 38 And in the spirit world there is also an order established, even a church, which is under the priesthood authority of the Holy Ghost, who administereth unto the children of men in the flesh, and also unto those in the spirit world according to the ministrations of this priesthood. 39 Behold, there is save one true church of God, which is the church of the Lamb of God, who is Jesus Christ. And any church that doth not teach the words of Christ, or the words that he taught the people when he came down among them, is not the church of the Lamb of God. And these churches that teach not the words of the Lamb of God do not have the priesthood authority to act in the name of God according to the commandments that He hath given unto the children of men through his Son, Jesus Christ. 40 And this is what Jesus meant when he commanded the people to call the church in his name saying: Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in my name: therefore ye shall call the church in my name. 41 And many believe that this meant that the Lord would only sanction a church if it was called after his name. Now this is not what the Lord meant. For behold, there are many churches built up that are called after the name of Jesus Christ, nevertheless, they are not built upon his gospel, which are the commandments that he gave unto his disciples as I have explained it unto you. 42 For behold, the Lord commanded the church to be called in his name, which signifieth that it doeth the things that he hath shown it to do. For the name of the Lord hath reference to his works, and it is customary among the Jews, as it is among us, that our works constitute the name by which we are known. 43 Therefore, if a church is built in the name of Jesus Christ, then it will do the works that he hath commanded. And it mattereth not whether this church is named after any other thing, for its works shall be shown within it and it shall only be accepted by the Father according to its works. 44 Now, it is expedient that I make this clear unto the faithful who shall receive this record, even this sealed portion of the plates that I have made with mine own hands. 45 For behold, in the last days there shall be many churches set up among the children of men that are called after the name of Jesus Christ, nevertheless, they are not built upon his gospel, but are built upon the works of men or the works of the devil. And their works follow after them. 46 And ye shall have this record and also the record of the Jews as two testimonies of the teachings of Jesus Christ. And if any church teacheth more or less than Jesus taught the people, ye shall surely know that these churches are called after his holy name and not in his name as I have explained it unto you. 47 And whosoever preacheth the words of Christ hath the blessing and authority of the Holy Priesthood of God. And whosoever teacheth more or less than the words of Christ, though they might have the priesthood conferred upon them, they have not the sanctification of the Holy Spirit, and therefore, have no power in their priesthood. For behold, many are called, but few are chosen. 48 And there will be many of you who question the authority of those who teach the words of Christ because they do not have the authority of the church to do so. Beware of this Chapter 9 31 TSP 9:49– 10:10 fallacy in your thinking, my beloved brothers and sisters, for so thought the Jews at Jerusalem when they rejected the prophets who were sent to preach repentance unto the church that was set up among them. For the Lord hath said: For he that is not against us is for us. 49 And if a man can cast out devils in the name of Jesus and doeth many wonderful works also in his name, then that man belongeth to the church of the Lamb of God, whether he belongeth to an organized church upon the earth, or whether he doeth it on his own, it is the same. 50 For any man or woman that obeyeth the gospel of Jesus Christ as he hath given it unto us, hath the priesthood of God and can act in the name of God according to the words of Christ. 51 And if it so be that this man or this women desireth to establish a church in the name of Christ, and call it after his or her own name, then it will be counted as righteousness before the Father and He will send the Holy Ghost to sanction it. 52 Now this is the mystery of the priesthood which the Spirit hath commanded me to explain unto you. And there are other things about the priesthood that I have not explained. But the most important part, which is for your understanding, I have explained upon these plates.
