The Four Ways of Enlightenment

[mattyarnott1]

you should all do a drug called dmt,its a seven minute trip unlike anything else,you actually see a new reality unfold right before your eyes

[zetsumeinaito]

One would think if there were four ways, there could be more. They just need to be discovered. Or perhaps it is only in thinking the paths are different make them different when they really are just different lanes on the same metaphorical highway.

[JamesJTraitz]

@zetsumeinaito There could be more (ways). There is also the way of the common man, per Gurdjieff. A lifetime of good works/deeds , honest living and shouldering of responsibilities(raising a family ,working honestly,doing no harm to others) 4 ways because it correlates with the 4 aspects of man: the body,emotions, mind and spirit as well as Gurdjieff's : the carriage ,horse ,driver and master/passenger and with the 4 'bodies' : physical ,astral, mental and causal

[slnixon3]

YOU TOO CAN BE GOD!! This "enlightenment" all of You are talking about is ALSO the Luciferian Philosophy. When all of You who are "illumined" go to the doctor, what does that make the doctor?? hmmmm??? Stupid sheeple really should go back to that metaphorical "fork in the road" and choose the RIGHT path!

[JamesJTraitz]

@slnixon3 You,as does many others ,misunderstand the meaning of "Lucifer","Satan" and (the) "Devil" ; none of whom exist by the way, We are suppose to grow in consciousness- this does not mean to become God-which is impossible! We are created "in the image and likeness of God" we are made of 'God stuff' ,we are already (part) of what God is-indeed ,we could not be anything else!

[slnixon3]

@JamesJTraitz I've studied the Mystery Religion. That is what this is. That is also what You subscribe to. I encourage You to re-examine Your position.

[JamesJTraitz]

@slnixon3 I have never heard of the "Mystery Religion" My teaching is based upon 35+ years of study and research and represents an amalgamation of : classical western philosophy, Zen, Quantum physics,Gurdjieff, Castenada and Budo(martial arts practice /movements as well as a number of personal 'esoteric' experiences

[neoseyes]

There is another way.

[JamesJTraitz]

@neoseyes Yes... the way of the ordinary man

[2ManyNoobs]

@JamesJTraitz lsd and other hallucinogens 

[tobesograteful]

you are not Enlightened so why are you attempting to teach it?

[JamesJTraitz]

Exactly why I seek it.....What's your plan-to remain stupid ?

[bhartleby]

it is one thing to seek, and quite another to teach.

[ythb123]

@tobesograteful

Ever taught something you learned?

You learn more when you share=teach.

[NephilimFree]

And in that same chapter, Christ said:

[36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Do you believe Jesus was the Son of God and that you can't save yourself except by faith in Christ? If not, you have no hope. Hinduism, self-help, spiritualism, and humansim have no power to save anyone. These were taught to man by angels whom God cast out of His realm for the crimes of pride and lust.

[JamesJTraitz]

Jesus is A way to God-just not the only way !

[NephilimFree]

1John.5

[10] He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

[NephilimFree]

I'm a glutton? Naaaa. A sinner, yes. Not a glutton.

[AzureStocking]

tick-tick-burrrr whiz pop

[jea740]

can i find jesus?

Now meaby when he was alive but hes dead.

why bring poor jesus to this

[NephilimFree]

Jesus is Elohim YWHW. He cannot die. Great is the mystery of Godliness, that God Himself died for our sins, yet He lives. Humans cannot comprehend this because we cannot comprehend God.

[jea740]

So all the big evil 'do'rs in the name of god will be forgiven like a hitler?

You might say that they do not have god in there heart, but why then force it in to ours?

If we can find peace and god in our own instead going to church

[NephilimFree]

You mean atheists and pagans are not the only group of people in the world which have twisted individuals? Christianity isn't immune from them either? Do tell.

[JamesJTraitz]

Belonging to a group does not insulate a person from their individual responsibility for the content of their behavior,,,show me a fanatical christian ,a fanatical jew a fanatical muslim or a fanatical atheist and ...I'll show you a fanatic

[NephilimFree]

How does one become born again? We are born again when God puts His living spirit in us. Untill then, we are spiritually dead to God.

In that same chapter, Christ said:

[27] John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

[NephilimFree]

[5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

[7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

[NephilimFree]

3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

[4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

[NephilimFree]

Because sin entered the world, we are all spiritually dead to God at birth. We must be born again to be God's child. This means the spirit of God is put in us when God saves us. Unless He does this, there is no salvation. We are ALREADY DEAD. We live through Christ.

[zarglox]

You cannot control the mind or fear or any of that if you want to realize that you are already enlightened. There is no separate person to control the mind, only watching can occur and that is the fastest and only way- awareness.

[JamesJTraitz]

We are saying much the same thing. You are a portion of your larger self

[RichBeater]

The fastest way usually does not offer the best. The fastest is most prone to error. A pure mind can untwist the twists. Enlightenment, is this based on perception or reality ? Your use of truly noble mens theories are fairly accurate. Do you have any original theories in any of your videos ?

[JamesJTraitz]

I believe that my 'insight' that all of the esoteric teachings as well as quantum physics and Zen express the same greater Truth!

[mrjones422]

How do I get this book.

[hbar1212]

Am I going to have to scratch off quantum leaps, then? I had them on my gift list. I don't have much of a problem rapidly taking my hand out of a fire because it's not politicaly correct, decorus, gentlemanly or even illogical according to some professor.

[JohanR888]

Very good videos. I like them.

[JamesJTraitz]

thanks

[JohanR888]

As for sin "sinne" this comes from hebrew word "het" which means missing the mark. Jesus came to show us the way, to stear us from sinning, which means, thru his teachings, he put us on track on how to utilise our god selves/source energy within, not understanding who we truly are is sinning, i.e. missing the point/missing the target, thats all sinning ever meant.

[NephilimFree]

There is no "our god selves/source". Your mind is corrupted by humanism and Hinduism. Christ was quite explicit about sin. He left no room for your humanism and hinduism regarding sin and salvation. You have no power to save yourself. In fact, if God does not chose to save you because you believe He is the Son of God and that He was your sacrifice for sin, there is nothing you can do to be saved from destruction. Nothing at all. Salvation is a gift from

[JohanR888]

Jesus used the word gehenna, figuratively speaking. If you loose your connection to God you may as well go to Gehenna. which is just a burning dumping ground. Our contempary view of hell is a concept that was introduced into the Bible in the Medieval ages by the King George Revision of the Bible-of fire

and brimstone that is.this was an age of man where people were burned at the stake because they were somehow different.Its only that man would create a God that was as brutal as he was.

[JohanR888]

Also God coined as father, as the highest order was named in a primitive civilisation where it was a patriarchial society. So naturally the creator was a "He" Father.

As for Hell, that comes from two words sheol and Gehenna. Sheol means underground and Gehenna Hebrew,'Ge-Hinnom'the valley of Hinnom. A valley of Jerusalem that was used to dump dead animals and waste in. The heaps of refuse were then burned. It was figuratively used to designate'a place of eternal dwelling and eternal punishment'

[NephilimFree]

Sheol and hades (hell) mean two different things. When we die, we sleep in the Earth until Christ's return. Sheol is the grave. It is the Earth. Hades (hell) is where the wicked go. Nobody goes to hell untill Christ renders hudgement upon the world. The garbage dump was used figuratively to describe hell. I understand you lack knowledge of the Bible, but disseminating false information is not the thing to do. Learn about it first.

[NephilimFree]

Every knee shall bow to the Lord. Yours included.

[NephilimFree]

You will too.

[JohanR888]

Regarding Jesus as the only way its important to understand the exegesis of such texts. Jesus stated two laws, Love God, love one another, in doing so, you open your heart and mind and soul to enlightenment, this is what he meant by getting to the father thru him, Its his body of teaching, and really no one can get to God if they do not embrace loving god/goodness and one another. Surely this is what he was implying, his BODY OF TEACHING. from that perspective.

[NephilimFree]

Christ said,

Matt.5

[17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Christ didn't do away with the Ten Commandments or any command of God, He came to reinforce and fulfill them.. His message was about salvation more than anything. God didn't say, "Oh ok, you can do what you like as long as you believe in me." Nope. Didn't happen. Christ taught love, but preached with fire and conviction against false Gods and sin.

[jea740]

do you pratice what you preach?

[norskklar]

Your body language screems give me money. as well as the way you talk.

[JamesJTraitz]

Have I asked for any(money) ?!

[Sectorsophia]

You tote the slogan, "Never stop your mind."

But it seems like you did when you say, 'The universe and everything in it was and is created by God or "ALL THAT IS".'

If everything is created by something(a creator), then what created this creator?

I will accept your philosophy when you demand an explanation for the creator's existance as well, and dont stop there... either. Demand also an explanation for the creator's creator. And so on, and so forth.

[JamesJTraitz]

You have fallen for a common dialectic trap.Let me be of some help:The Creator exists beyond time.Creation presupposes a 'before and after' dichotomy.You are attempting to fathom supra-rational concepts with the limited scope of subject-object metaphysics.

[rikestard]

he sure showed you,, lmao

[hbar1212]

Why is spam next to reply? I will spam you one day, I just wanted you to know. lol I suspect there is another dimension that is spiritual that doesn't require creation as this one seems to, and of course it's beyond time, so it you like you could say it couldnt be created and there was no time or it goes into and out of creation.

Too, if emotions have thoughts behind them and you can correct them, then both can be reason and all has to make sense somehow. This theory almost does that.

[NephilimFree]

"as you 'break' matter down you wind up with corpusals of light"

No, you get smaller illusions of physical matter and undirected energy.

"formed of pure non-physical consciousness"

Your "starchild" philosophies are your own cage of deception. They were given to man before Sumer and you are a product of this deception. God is a being, not physical. We cannot dissect him. He has no physical attributes at all. The physical was created by him, therefore He is outside the physical.

[JamesJTraitz]

I actually agree with much of what you say,except,God is Both outside of the physical and within it.The physical emerges from energy which emerges from consciousness which emerges from soul(s) which emerges from God-yet God is more than his creations!

[NephilimFree]

You spout Hinuism. You don't even know it.

[NephilimFree]

"He is a way-just not the only way-"

He is the ONLY way. He was God as flesh and told us so Himslelf that no one will see God unless they seek forgiveness from Him. I can prove He was God, that the Bible is His inspired word, and that the Word is true: The Bible contains a name-meanings prophecy code using the names of the patriarchs of the Old Testament that prove beyond any doubt that the Bible was designed by God before it was written.

[NephilimFree]

"The universe and everything in it was and is created by God or "ALL THAT IS""

God yes, not OR.

"Consequently as you 'break' matter down you wind up with corpusals of light formed of pure non-physical consciousness-the Divine mind of God."

String theory may well be true.

[NephilimFree]

The Bible tells us:

Psa 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

The protien molecule Lamanin is the structural glue that holds all parts of the human body together.

The Lamanin molecules is in the shape of a crucifix!

Coincidence? Not hardly.

[JamesJTraitz]

The universe and everything in it was and is created by God or "ALL THAT IS" Consequently as you 'break' matter down you wind up with corpusals of light formed of pure non-physical consciousness-the Divine mind of God.

[Vebroveromas]

...gaaaayyyyyy

[NephilimFree]

Jesus Christ is real. Seek Him and you will find enlightenment that you could not imagine. There is no way to life or enlightenment except by Him. So, you say jesus is mythological? Not so friend. I could provide mountains of archeological, historical, scientific, and personal evidence of Jesus Christ, but this alone should be more than enough:

[JamesJTraitz]

Jesus is not mythological.He is a way-just not the only way-Recognize your non-Jesus like pridefullness in your boastfull proclamations

[ejgintexas]

if Jesus is the only way then only about 1billion will go to heaven. and 5.68billion will go to hell.( as of today!) 1John 4:18. God is love. no longer exist. only those who do not know Gods true love have fear. fear is what brings on thought of punishment. reality. there is no hell. only God.

[JamesJTraitz]

As I clearly said: "Jesus is a way-just not the only way"

[aeiva]

"God is Both outside of the physical and within it"

agreed, it's called tzimtzum

"there is no hell. only God"

hell is total separation from god, if you can fathom that one since god is "pure living conscience"

"Jesus is a way-just not the only way"

i disagree although i cannot say who will be saved or perished but that it implies sin and sin implies death which biblically we know comes from sin, a willful act of opposition to livingness

all other knowledge only alludes to these truths

[hbar1212]

Don't you believe in miracles? I think it's miraculous the way some youtube makes some of my comments dissappear. What if someone is teaching what Jesus taught? Or someone is coming from the East and someone else from the West, are they on different paths? It's not a play on words rather mis interpretation of scriptures is. The literal kills, the spirit brings life. You don't see if, but the way that scripture is interpreted makes it a negative double speak.

[JamesJTraitz]

'opening' to one's Heart, spirit and 'will'; losing self-importance,aiming to 'self-remember' and to bear or tolerate the unpleasant behavior of others ;learning the differance between 'internal' and 'external' considering.

[Suncycles]

hi,

what is enlightenment to you?

[ecstatica23]

hi... it is possible that you are ignoring me, but I could be wrong, in any case I would like to invite you once again to my channel, I would like to hear your thoughts/opinion of my videos.

[DanielMurphy007]

Enlightenment. Is that like illumination, or is it like becoming less heavy? I feel that it is within the abilities of an average person to free themselves from their burden (ego) but I think that might be different than illumination.

[JamesJTraitz]

It is becoming more aware of our true self-the "inner' Self.We don't seek to destroy ego,but to master it.We are too ego-bound.This is the 'false' self;acquired thru life's external influences

[ecstatica23]

can you visit my channel? I did two videos that I feel describe what you are saying. I am almost in shock because you say things that I've said, but in different ways, if I understand correctly. kind of overwhelming, however I came to these truths from years of looking from within... can you tell me if my videos are accurate? and show me where/if I'm going wrong anywhere in " my philosophy" it would mean a lot to me. the videos are Ecstatica & Focus Mind, Body, Spirit & The Warrior's Code

[wytworny]

Yes, this is, I think, what Gurdjieff proposed: to combine the three traditional ways of excellence.

But I have doubts: does this 'cocktail' of mu-shin consciousness, meditation, body training and emotional self-control is going to work.

And why do we have to hurry on our way to enlightenment?

[JamesJTraitz]

No hurry, no rush; but would Gurdjieff advocate procrastination.

[wytworny]

Gurdjieff said, we need to work in a group of people and be led by a teacher who has reached the state of self-remembrance. Do you agree with this?

Or should we seek enlightenment all by ourselves?

[JamesJTraitz]

Both,but we do need a teacher on some level for the work
