Hierophant
Hierophant. From the Greek "Hierophantes"; literally, "One who explains sacred things ". The discloser of sacred learning and the Chief of the Initiates. A title belonging to the highest Adepts in the temples of antiquity, who were the teachers and expounders of the Mysteries and the Initiators into the final great Mysteries. The Hierophant represented the Demiurge, and explained to the postulants for Initiation the various phenomena of Creation that were produced for their tuition. " He was the sole expounder of the esoteric secrets and doctrines. It was forbidden even to pronounce his name before an uninitiated person. He sat in the East, and wore as a symbol of authority a golden globe suspended from the neck. He was also called Mystagogus" (Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie, ix., F.T.S., in The Royal Masonic cyclopedia). In Hebrew and Chaldaic the term was Peter, the opener, discloser; hence the Pope as the successor of the hierophant of the ancient Mysteries, sits in the Pagan chair of St. Peter.

Janus
Janus (Latin) (from janua a gate) Oldest and most exalted of the Roman gods, he was called the oldest of the gods and the beginning of all things, the origin of all organic life and especially human life; from him sprang all wells and rivers, and he had power also on the seas. He had no Greek counterpart, and may originally have been a god of sun and light, who opened and closed the day; later he was especially the god of beginnings and endings, such as the closing and opening of cycles, symbolized in his statues by his having two faces, one before and one behind, visioning the future and the past; also of all doors, entrances, and passages, he being pictured as a porter with a staff and key. He was saluted every morning, at the beginning of all the months (calends), and at the first of the year. When the Romans began their year near the winter solstice (153 BC), they called the month Januarius, the month of Janus, as the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. They connected the name Janus with Dianus, one aspect of the divine sun, whose feminine is Diana, the moon. Janus was also considered the most ancient Italian king, who built a temple by the Tiber and gave a friendly welcome to Saturn. The Christians transformed him into St. Peter, ruling the gate or entrance to heaven.

Waldenses
Waldenses A movement arising in the last quarter of the 12th century in the south of France, when Peter Waldo, a rich merchant of Lyons, distributed his wealth among the poor and went forth as a preacher of voluntary poverty, likewise preaching the doctrines of the Christ. He had the Bible translated into the language of the Provence, which he and his followers read and interpreted in their own way. This brought upon them the wrath of the clergy. At length Pope Alexander prohibited them from preaching without the permission of the bishops (1179). To this Waldo replied that he must obey God rather than man -- for which he was excommunicated by Lucius III in 1184, which brought on a persecution of the Waldenses which continued through the Middle Ages. During the cruel and bloody crusade against the Albigenses, the Waldenses were also attacked and almost exterminated: they survived by fleeing into the mountains and secluded valleys of the Alps. Nevertheless the persecution continued inasmuch as their doctrines were called heretical. Many adherents joined the various reforming movements which arose in Europe from time to time -- such as the Hussite, Lutheran, and Protestant -- although a center remained in the valleys of the Vaudois even to the present day.

BASILIDEAN: A Gnostic sect founded by Basilides of Alexandria, who claimed to have received his esoteric doctrines from Glaucus, a disciple of the Apostle Peter. The system had three grades: material, intellectual, and spiritual and it possessed two allegorical statues, male and female.

Revelations - Christ and KrishnaSacred Revelations: Christ and
Krishna
Both Krishna and Christ appeared on earth to help us
evolve spiritually. The Supreme, though unborn and undying, reveals itself in
human form to help us overcome the illusions of ignorance and self-centredness,
of hatred and cruelty, through love and compassion. There are interesting
similarities in the life and precepts of Krishna and Christ. Kansa and Herod -
one the king of Mathura, the other, of Palestine - were forewarned that they
would die at the hands of a child yet to be born. So, they went about
slaughtering newborns.

Living Tradition of Sahaj MargSahaja Yoga: The Living Tradition of Sahaj Marg
The Raja Yoga system
known as "Sahaj Marg" is still relatively obscure in the West, even
among Yoga aficionados. This is largely due to the fact that Sahaj Marg has
been a low-key, word-of-mouth practice. Works by the lineage of Sahaj Marg
Masters, published under the auspices of the Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM),
are difficult to locate, and beyond the abhyasis or practitioners of
Sahaj Marg, few are aware that SRCM centers have been established worldwide
since the Mission was founded in India fifty years ago.

 |  |  | Peter: Mountains - Source of Divine Inspiration
Men pass, mountains remain. Little wonder, why mountains are a sign of solidity and stability. They tower over us, touching the sky, sometimes through clouds ... they convey a sense of mystery. In fact, philosophers say that the mountain is the point where heaven and earth meet. Mountains, therefore, are considered holy in many faiths. They are believed to be the abode of gods, even a place where one can find salvation. Christian literature reveals the symbolic role of mountains. In the Old Testament, God was depicted as God of the mountains. But God was also a God of the valleys.

or Walls - You ChooseProsperity Consciousness: Bridges
or Walls - You Choose
Life continually brings to us more gifts than we can
accept and acknowledge, more than we can treasure with thankful hearts. As we
pursue the lonely journey through our own life experience, we carry with us the
potential to reach heights of excellence. It is our vision of life that matters.
We can either paralyse ourselves or set ourselves free. We can choose to open
doors to a new life or we can choose to close them forever. We can either build
walls or bridges in our life. The choice is ours.

 |  |  | Peter: What is driving the evolution of consciousness described by the Mayan Calendar? - IHow is the Mayan Long Count to be explained? Why did this ancient people, that were the most mathematically advanced of their day, choose to use a chronology that consisted of thirteen different periods of 144,000 days each, starting on August 11, 3114, BC and ending on December 21, AD 2012? On a more fundamental level three different types of answers have been given to this question, a materialist, a spiritual and what might be called a pseudo-spiritual, answers that are linked to different world views. In the materialist world view the astronomical, physical cycles are seen as primary to the spiritual whereas in the spiritual world view they are seen as secondary.

Christian Theological Dictionary on Transfiguration
A
Christian theological definition of Transfiguration according to CARM - The Christian
Apologetics & Research Ministry:
" Transfiguration This refers to the mysterious change that occurred to Jesus on the mount: "Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white." (Matt. 17:1-2). The transfiguration preceded Jesus' time on the cross and may have been the Father's preparatory provision to strengthen Jesus as He prepared to bear the sins of the world. "
