The Gnosis Of Easter- The Real Meaning Of Easter by Gnosticstudent(m): 10:52am On Apr 06, 2015
Greetings Dear Niaralanders, I wish to share with you here a little article on the significance of the widely celebrated Easter. Please read on..


Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born
And not within thyself, thy soul will be forlorn.
The Cross on Golgotha thou lookest to in vain
Unless within thyself it be set up again.


Easter is one of the primary days of the Christian calendar, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion. In the West, Easter is celebrated on the Sunday following the full moon next after the vernal equinox (between March 22 and April 25).
This Holy Day is actually far older than Christianity. The name “Easter” is derived from the Old German name “Ostara,” and, in Anglo-Saxon, Eastre, or Eostre, the goddess of spring, fertility, and the rising sun. This name is a variation on the name of Ishtar, the Babylonian and Assyrian goddess of love and fertility.

Throughout Europe were celebrated rituals and sacrifices in recognition of the movement in nature from death (winter) to life (spring). These traditions were gradually absorbed by the evangelizing Christian movements. But the movement of the Sun, in its triumphant march toward the heavens, has been celebrated by people the world over. The spiritual value of Easter is reflected in the traditions and mythologies of many cultures and religions, all of which symbolize the esoteric or root meaning: the triumph of the Christ over the Ego (False sense of self) of the penitent seeker.
To understand this celebration, and the modern Holy Day of Easter, we must first understand something about the Christ.

Christ

The term Christ is derived from the Greek krestos, which esoterically means fire. Christ is an intelligent and conscious energy. This energy can incarnate within the human being. Those who earn this sacred gift can then be called "Christ." The Christ is represented in many religions.
Christ is Ormus, Ahura-Mazda among the Persians, who is the antithesis of Ahriman (Satan).
Christ is Vishnu in the sacred land of the Vedas. He is the Second Logos, sublime emanation of Brahma, the First Logos.
The Avatar Krishna is the Hindustani Jesus. The gospel of this Master is similar to the gospel of the divine Rabbi of Galilee.
Fu-Ji is the Cosmic Christ among the ancient Chinese, the one who wrote the famous I-Ching, the book of laws, and who designated Dragon Ministers for the good of humanity
Osiris was in fact the Christ in the sunny country of Khem, in the land of the Pharaohs, and whosoever incarnated Him was an Osirified One.
Quetzalcoatl is the Mexican Christ, who is now dwelling in distant Tule.

The Christ is widely represented by the Sun, the giver of light and life. In the tree of Life, we speak of the Christ as the Solar Logos: the Sun that illuminates the Tree of Life.

In the West, Jesus of Nazareth, who was actually named Jeshua Ben Pandira, incarnated the Christ and became the Chief of all souls, the Light of the World. He taught the path to do as he had done. He synthesized the path in this way:
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me (the Cosmic Christ), let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. - Matthew 16:24
These three steps are the three factors for the revolution of the consciousness.

To Deny Oneself is to go against the selfish, egotistical desires that fill the mind. These desires must die in order for the Christ to enter into us. So long as we remain imperfect, we remain separate from Him.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. - Matthew 5:48
This is a teaching given in all great religions, which emphasizes the need for psychological work on oneself in order to achieve purity of mind and heart.

To Take Up the Cross is to enter into the work of the sacred cross in accordance with the instructions given by Jehovah Elohim in the Garden of Eden. The fantastically ancient and ubiquitous symbol of the cross represents the core teaching of real spirituality, which its main purpose is how to build up our soul, how to be born again. The symbol of the cross represents the sacred Alchemy of the ancient and wise saints. It also unveils the mystery of the Sacrament of Marriage. It deals with the perfect Matrimony, or let us say the Sexuality of Regeneration without which no mortal can expect to achieve the Second Birth well mentioned by the Lord Jesus the Christ.

To Follow Him is to sacrifice oneself on behalf of suffering humanity, to do as the Christified Ones always do: serve humanity with love, compassion, and great strength of will, and always in accordance with divine law.

To achieve this sublime honor of receiving the Christ inside, the human being must be properly prepared. This preparation is symbolized in the cosmic drama of initiation, that series of events which are displayed in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, as well as in the life of Quetzalcoatl, Krishna, Odin, and many others. In each of these stories, the cross plays a central role.

Thank you.

If you, Dear Friends, long to open up yourselves to whole new vistas of practice oriented knowledge, understanding and experience about the many mysteries of life and death; if you yearn to truly capture the real meaning of the many different teachings in the holy bible or other scared books that is superficially understood or grossly misinterpreted, if you long for a profound and genuine spiritual change that can cause the unfoldment of your infinite divine potentials beyond what u have ever imagined, then here is the rare chance for you…

Not true. If you go to Rome, Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople etc it is called Holy Pascha and is all about commemorating the death and resurrection.
