"... Awake; Put on thy strength, O Sion;

put on thy beautiful garments,

O Jerusalem, the holy city..."

Isaiah 52:1

This book is a mind-expanding and life-altering collection of sacred art coupled with my original and revelatory reinterpretation of literary evidence that proposes Jesus is a stargate traveling, time traveler. He ascended, traveled and will return through a traversable wormhole - a tear, hole or tunnel opened in the fabric of space time through which particles can travel to other places or parallel dimensionsand back.

As Christ said in John 10:9, I am the door and no one comes to the Father but through Me. To me, these words are more than poetry. This door is a star tunnel.

You know this door exists. You want to go through it. Thats why youre reading this book.

However, were told, the entrance to this portal is not open to everyone. The Gate to Paradise is guarded by beings who each hold a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Passage through the stargate involves a transformation, a secret change of state, an upgrade, for us and the entire planet.

The Jewish Gnostic (mystical) lore that provides the narrative for this imagery tells us Jesus traveled these stellar doors as a being of light. More, he was an avatar of a tribe of majestic light beings sent to lead souls through the door of light. (Thats what this book is about.)

While I will focus on Jesus, this secret is actually a timeless teaching of the mystics and perfect masters or avatars of many traditions. Jesus is among the clearest and most accessible instructors of these avatars.

The Bible records 12 different appearances of Jesus in His celestial body. Then, there are the Gnostic gospels in which Jesus routinely appears as a shining light being.

Jesus enters through an astral, star or energy door, from San Marco, Venice. He meets the initiate on the threshold of the astral world.

According to these accounts, after the Crucifixion Jesus possessed a new, resurrected or glorified (glowing) spiritual body or light body (referred to as a garment) and could dematerialize (disappear) and materialize (appear) at will, even in a sealed room.

Jesus followers claim not only to have seen Him but also to have eaten with him, touched him, and received an anointing in a cosmic essence, the Holy Spirit, from Him while in his new shining or beaming* body.

*Beam means ray of light, probably because it was used by Bede to render the Latin columna lucis, the Biblical pillar of fire. It comes from the Old English beam originally living tree. Fascinating, since the other side of the door is the One or the Center which is represented by the Tree of Life (the Living Tree), the Axis Mundi, the Fountain of Immortality, a throne, etc.

Modern particle physics provides a mechanism for dematerialization: conversion of the matter of an object into neutrinos, which are high energy elementary particles that interact very weakly with normal matter and thus would be invisible. The image of Jesus on the Shroud of Turin has certain features scientists would expect to arise in the neutrino dematerialization process.

FLASH! Vision of Paul from Acts 22:6, "About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. Byzantine mosaic, Kavala, Greece. Jesus manifests in a transparent almond-shaped mandorla or gateway.

Paul encountered the beaming Jesus on the road to Damascus. This meeting caused him to transform from Christian persecutor to champion. The description of Pauls encounter is described in Acts 9:3. It is supernatural, miraculous, revelatory.

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven FLASHED around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

The voice from the light belonged to Jesus, who is often portrayed in Christian art speaking to Paul in the midst of or enveloped by an almond-shaped gateway or beaming from within a transparent light orb or star gate.

For the witnesses who experienced His display of this garment His appearance could be described as flash, but also an apparition (a sudden and unusual sight) or a specter, meaning full spectrum, band of colors formed from a being of light. Some were prepared for this experience. Most were not.

The secret of this garment was best known in Gnostic circles. For example, in the Gnostic religion of ancient Iran called Manicheanism, whose followers were greatly persecuted by Christians, this light body is called the Beaming Garment. This is the term we shall adopt in our journey. A number of Manichean hymns are addressed not to the historical Jesus, called Jesus the Messiah, but to the Light Messenger Jesus, referred to as Jesus the Splendor (brilliance, from splenderebe bright, shine), a magnificent shining being who displays the Beaming Garment.

This immaterial or flashing light body beamed, meaning it radiated or displayed (from Latin displicare to scatter or unfold) bursts of light. It was also instrumental in allowing Jesus to be instantaneously transported (beamed) through the wormhole linking the world of spirit and the material world. Todays imagination is filled with militaristic views of stargate travel, where transport is effected by a clunky machine,. However, the ancient perfect avatars put on the Beaming Garment and beamed through the wormhole through spiritual means.
