THE GREATER MELCHIZEDEK MYSTERY
Upon receiving the inner direction in the mid-nineties to start using the name Melchizedek, I first did as much research as possible before doing so, just to make sure that my teaching and writing work was in fact in alignment with what this ancient name really embodies. Even though my own earlier inner planes training in the early 1980's introduced me to the Melchizedek Consciousness I felt that this wasn't enough on its own, thus starting my extensive research and study into this subject which continues to this day.
So I would like to expand the exploration of who and what Melchizedek actually is and is not, essential information of vital importance which you can now verify for yourself, in the understanding of this extraordinary concept. To begin with, as occult study shows the name Melchizedek certainly does not refer to a physical being or even a Master, being far far beyond that level in the Spiritual Hierarchy, i.e. the Powers behind the governing realms of the true God. Rather it refers to Principles, a Power, a Power of Light from the Higher Heavens which is the region of Light Beings, Archangels and other Powers of Divine Authority like the Councils of Light. Thus Melchizedek is a Whole Light Being whose title according to the resurrected Jesus in his teachings found in the *'Pistis Sophia' scrolls (I:25 on), is the Paralemptor (Receiver) of the Light, and the purifier of the Light that "seals the soul and leads it to the Treasury of Light."
What does this mean in simple terms? To state it briefly, through the Melchizedek influence human souls are educated by the teaching of Divine Principles. Thus Melchizedek has since ancient times been assigned the purpose and title of the Educator of the Soul, bringing the 'science' of Light to this planet since the beginning of humanity's journeying back to full Self-realization. It goes without saying then that those calling themselves Melchizedekians or indeed anyone or any system, method or teaching to be genuinely associated with the name Melchizedek, would have to be concerned primarily with soul education and purification. Such soul progress will lead eventually to mastery, enlightenment and the ascension or unification of our soul with the I AM Presence or Overself Body of Light. This soul reprogramming and ascension of consciousness is achieved only through the knowledge and practice of Divine Principles, Universal Laws, clearing of past life memories and karmic effects, purification of the subconsciousness and soul, and the science of Light and Vibration which includes of course, alchemical practices and physical transformation.
Although able to manifest as form, form is most definitely secondary to who or what Melchizedek truly is. The name certainly cannot refer to a person or human being which is clearly shown in Hebrews 7: 3 of the Bible where it states that Melchisedec was: "Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God."
It also identifies Melchisedec/Melchizedek as the King of Righteousness and Priest-King of Peace who taught Abraham and to whom Abraham gave homage, which when we consider who Abraham was (Abraham is regarded as the founding father of the three greatest world religions of Judaism, Christiantity and Islam), indicates that this was no normal Being. This is the only time as far as records show that there was some kind of manifested form of the Melchizedek Light Power on earth.
The Bible also states several times – Hebrews 6:20, 5:6,10 and 7:17, 21 that Jesus was "made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." To quote Manly P. Hall in his definitive work "The Secret Teachings of All Ages, "the words 'after the order' make Jesus one of a line or order of which there must have been others of equal or even superior dignity." From these references alone, it’s obvious then that Melchizedek was the head or superior of a God-made order or priesthood truly Divine and invisible, as opposed to the many later man-made ones we are more familiar with.
Most importantly, this also indicates that Melchizedek far precedes in both time and origin, later Masters and nomenclature. ‘Melek’ translates as “King”, and 'Tzedek' translates as “righteousness.” ‘Tzedek’ also refers in the Qabalistic wisdom to the planet Jupiter, which is associated to the parts of the body where the magical light is particularly used. More relevant references to Melchizedek’s role can be seen from the Gematria connections of the whole name Melchizedek, which according to Godwin's "Cabalistic Encyclopedia" relates it to the Hebrew terms that refer to i) the greater Light, and ii) the God of Abraham. Both of these appear to have a greater connection to what Melchizedek represents according to the earliest known scrolls and texts.
In trained esoteric and occult understanding, it is recognized therefore that Melchizedek existed well before recorded human history, has always been and still is in charge of soul progression on this and other planetary systems. It’s clearly obvious from such occult references that Melchizedek was an ‘original’ Power (see paragraph 2) in the Higher Heavens, so it’s hardly feasible that this Power would take on the role of some other lesser being, or that any ordinary human here in the lowest physical realms could ‘channel’ such Power. Only the Ascended Masters of the White Brotherhood and beyond could have the capability of connecting with the Melchizedek Consciousness.
Professor J.J. Hurtak PhD, PhD, M.Th. is regarded internationally by enormous numbers of serious occultists as a world authority on the Ancient Wisdom teachings and the true history and future of humanity, a little of which is published in “The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch.” His vast and incomparable breadth of advanced esoteric studies includes studying texts and scrolls in their original languages, archeological, astronomical, genetic and scientific research and evidence, training and experience in Egyptology, theology, music, extraterrestrial realities and the sciences as well as a unique ‘off-planet’ experience. Dr Hurtak states unequivocally that Melchizedek was humanity’s first true spiritual teacher, and that we are taught by the Spirit or Consciousness of Melechizedek who brings Light into these lower realms to enable us to expand out of darkness.
This can only happen as we expand our love. The love in our souls manifests as light which then allows us ultimately to assimilate the Divine Light to balance and harmonize the energies of the life force in order to overcome the thresholds of limitation. Thus the Power of Melchizedek and the Christ strive to help us bring our souls into the Light.
* The “Pistis Sophia” is a teaching given to the disciples both male and female, of Jesus the Christ after his resurrection. The narrator of this remarkable scroll discovered in 1773 is Jesus the Christ himself, who speaks of the Higher Heavens of the Creator as well as the lower rulers who are said to be those who have been keeping humanity in bondage.
