21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
The new heaven and new earth is the regenerated human mind and body, now in complete union with the Divine. The sea, symbolizing the subconscious, no longer exists because the spiritual soul is no longer submerged by the ego.
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from gods out of the heavens, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
New Jerusalem is the spiritual soul united with the Divine.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of Gods is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and the gods themselves shall be with them, and be their gods.
The individual has progressed spiritually to the point of achieving unity with the Divine, thereby become divine themselves. The people represent the divinely inspired thoughts of the individual. In the event that everyone achieves this state, then there will be world peace.
21:4 And he shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
In this state of conscious there is no death, sorrow, crying, or pain. There is only bliss and inner peace.
21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
All aspects of the psyche are renewed when the individual this new state of being.
21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Aleph and Tau, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
The Divine Mind is the source of all things, the First and the Last manifestation in the process of spiritual purification. The water of life is pure spiritual energy, which gives eternal life.
21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and we will be his Gods, and he shall be my son.
Anyone who completes this process is a divine being, a true Son\Daughter of the Gods. This is how someone becomes a Messiah: a Savior to Himself or Herself.
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
All those who are afraid of this work, do not believe in it, are hateful, kill others, abuse others, abuse spiritual power, worship anything other than the Divine, who lie\deceive…will all be destroyed. This also means that the urge to do any of these things within the one applying and practicing the techniques given in this prophesy will be destroyed through their purification.
21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the Bride, the Lamb's wife.
The Bride of the Lamb is the Soul. She is symbolized here by the Holy City, embodying the purified, enlightened psyche of the individual.
21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of the heavens from gods,
21:11 Having the glory of gods: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
To be carried away in the Spirit means that the individual is taken on a journey using Astral Projection. Everything that is seen here is both a part of the external environment and a part of the Self. Everything encountered has an intimate relationship to the individual perceiving it. The twelve gates represent twelve different ways of accessing the spiritual consciousness: each related to one of the twelve parts of the psyche.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The twelve foundations are the twelve parts of the psyche.
21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
The golden reed represents the evaluation of the mind by the spiritual consciousness. Its measure represents the total human psyche at this stage of enlightenment.
21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Foursquare means all sides are equal in length. Twelve is a number signifying Governmental Perfection. One Thousand signifies Divine Completeness and the Father’s Glory. Thus, for the city that symbolizes the Soul to be perceived as being Twelve Thousand Furlongs (or 12,000 of anything, really) symbolizes the complete perfection of the psyche, governed by the Spiritual Consciousness or Divine.
21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
One hundred and forty four symbolizes a spirit guided life, the state of Enlightenment. At this stage, the individual is guided by his or her intuition.
21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Jasper symbolizes True Faith, both in one’s self and in the Divine. Pure Gold symbolizes Spiritual Perfection. The psyche, at this stage, is thus filled with Faith in the Divine and Spiritual Purity.
21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
Sapphire symbolizes Spiritual Aspiration. Chalcedony symbolizes Compassion. Emerald symbolizes Positive Thinking. Sardonyx symbolizes Humility. Sardius is a red stone symbolizing Self-Sacrifice. This means freely giving of yourself for others, without thought of reward. In modern times, we refer to it as Ruby. Chrysolyte (Modern Peridot) symbolizes Teaching by Example. Beryl symbolizes Prayer. Topaz symbolizes Meditation. Chrysoprasus (Modern Heliotrope Bloodstone) symbolizes Righteous Work. Jacinth symbolizes Discernment, the tempering of the sharing of spiritual knowledge with what you feel others are willing to hear. Amethyst signifies Prayer for the purification of others. The intention here is to lighten the karmic burden and stress that causes people to act so evil.
21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
The city symbolizes the psyche, the twelve purified aspects of the human personality as revealed by the Zodiac, also those characteristics described above in 21:20.
21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for YHVH, God of Hosts and the Lamb are the temple of it.
The temple is the spiritual consciousness itself.
21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of gods did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
The psyche is illuminated by the spiritual consciousness.
21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it.
All the faculties which are purified will be empowered by the spiritual consciousness, and even the material thoughts, symbolized by the kings of the earth, as they will be spiritualized and purified.
21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
This consciousness interacts with the whole psyche endlessly.
21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
All the parts of the mind\consciousness, symbolized by the nations, empower the spiritual consciousness and are, in turn, empowered by it. This is union with the divine.
21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Only influences that are spiritually pure may enter the consciousness at this stage. No impure influence may manifest.
