Astrotheology & Esoteric Understanding of Abraham almost sacrificing his son Isaac

In esoteric and astrotheological interpretations, the biblical story of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son Isaac and the substitution of a ram can be understood as symbolic of celestial, archetypal, and inner spiritual processes rather than a literal historical event. Here are key insights from this perspective:

1. Astrological Symbolism

  • Abraham (Father of Faith): Represents the Sun or divine consciousness, the central guiding force of the soul’s spiritual journey.
  • Isaac (Son): Symbolizes humanity or the individual soul, subject to trials and transformation.
  • Ram (Substitute Sacrifice): The ram corresponds to the zodiac sign Aries, associated with the spring equinox. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and symbolizes renewal, new beginnings, and the potential for rebirth. The ram’s sacrifice may point to the transition from one astrological age to another or the alignment of cosmic energies. For instance, the Age of Aries (around 2000–0 BCE) was marked by a focus on warrior cultures, sacrifice, and the centrality of lambs or rams in religious practices.

2. Inner Transformation

The story reflects the process of inner spiritual awakening:

  • Abraham’s Test: Represents the human ego’s struggle to surrender to divine will and transcend material attachments (symbolized by the son, Isaac).
  • The Sacrifice: Indicates the necessity of a shift from ego-centered living to a higher, spiritual focus. The ram represents a substitute: the relinquishing of base instincts or primal desires, paving the way for spiritual evolution.

3. Cosmic Allegory

  • The mountain (Mount Moriah) symbolizes the higher plane of consciousness or spiritual enlightenment.
  • The angel’s intervention represents divine wisdom guiding humanity away from literal violence (child sacrifice, which was practiced in some ancient cultures) toward symbolic or spiritual sacrifices.
  • The ram being “caught in the thicket” symbolizes hidden divine knowledge or potential that must be uncovered and offered to align with cosmic law.

4. Transition of Ages

In a broader astrotheological context, the substitution of the ram for Isaac may mark a transition in human consciousness or religious practices:

  • From human sacrifices (literal interpretation) to animal sacrifices, reflecting a spiritual and ethical evolution.
  • It also foreshadows the Age of Pisces, where the sacrificial motif is fulfilled through the figure of Christ (the “Lamb of God”).

The story of Abraham and Isaac in esoteric astrotheology is a symbolic narrative of the soul’s journey, the evolution of consciousness, and humanity’s alignment with divine will. It incorporates celestial dynamics (ages and zodiac signs), spiritual trials (faith and surrender), and ethical transformation (moving from literal to spiritual sacrifice).

The Holy Family of the Ebionites

The Ebionites, an early Jewish-Christian sect, revered Jesus not as a divine being but as a prophet chosen by God to guide humanity. For them, the Holy Family was an embodiment of humility and piety, a testament to God’s ability to work through the ordinary. Mary, in their view, was a devout young woman of deep faith, chosen by God for her purity of heart rather than supernatural qualities. Joseph, too, was a righteous man who provided for his family with the steady hands of a carpenter or stone mason, a reflection of the quiet virtues of diligence and faithfulness. Together, they symbolized the simplicity of God’s will being fulfilled through the lives of the meek and humble.

Jesus, to the Ebionites, was born not through divine conception but as the natural child of Mary and Joseph, a product of human love and obedience to God’s laws. They believed that Jesus’ wisdom and righteousness were the result of his devout upbringing and his unwavering devotion to the Torah. As a child, he would sit at Joseph’s feet, learning the trade of carpentry, while Mary taught him the sacred traditions and scriptures. The family was seen as a model of Jewish piety, adhering to the dietary laws, observing the Sabbath, and making annual pilgrimages to the Temple. The Ebionites found in them a relatable sanctity, a reminder that holiness was accessible to all who lived in alignment with God’s commandments.

The Ebionites also believed that the Holy Family’s way of life reflected an ethic of compassion, which extended to their dietary practices. They taught that Mary, Joseph, and Jesus adhered to a vegetarian diet, avoiding the killing of animals as part of their commitment to God’s creation. For the Ebionites, this was not just a matter of health but a profound spiritual discipline, rooted in the belief that the original harmony of Eden could be restored through nonviolence and reverence for all life. They saw Jesus as the perfect exemplar of this principle, teaching love not only for humanity but for all creatures. The vegetarianism of the Holy Family became, for the Ebionites, a symbol of their purity and their alignment with God’s original intent for the world, inspiring them to practice the same in their pursuit of righteousness.

This perspective on the Holy Family shaped the Ebionite understanding of salvation. They believed that Jesus, inspired by the Spirit of God at his baptism, became a teacher and guide for humanity, showing the way to live in harmony with God’s will. The family’s humble origins underscored their belief that salvation did not come from wealth, power, or divine favoritism, but from obedience to the law and a life of compassion and simplicity. For the Ebionites, the story of the Holy Family was not about miraculous interventions but about the sanctification of the ordinary, a message they sought to live out in their own lives.

Dhanvantari Diety of Healing

Dhanvantari is a revered deity in the Vedic tradition and Hinduism, known as the God of Ayurveda and the divine physician. He is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, emerging from the churning of the ocean of milk (Samudra Manthan), holding the pot of amrita (the nectar of immortality). His appearance is symbolic of health, healing, and longevity.

Dhanvantari is often depicted with four hands, carrying a pot of amrita, a leech, a conch shell, and a discus (chakra), symbolizing his association with medicine, healing, and divine powers.

He is worshipped as the patron of medicine and health, and practitioners of Ayurveda revere him as their guiding deity. His blessings are invoked for physical and spiritual well-being, and his birthday is celebrated as Dhanteras, a day during the festival of Diwali dedicated to health and prosperity.

In essence, Dhanvantari represents the divine connection between spirituality, medicine, and the preservation of life.

Sri Dhanvantari

One of the most popular mantras dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari is used to invoke his blessings for healing and well-being. It is known as the Dhanvantari Mantra:

Dhanvantari Mantra:

ॐ शङ्खं चक्रं जलौकां दधदमृतघटं चारुदोर्भिः सुशोभं। सर्वामयघ्रं चिन्त्यं धृतमणिविभूषं धवन्तरिं दीव्याम्॥

Om Shankham Chakram Jalaukam Dadhatamrita-Ghatam Charu-Dorbhih Sushobham Sarvāmaya-Ghram Chintyam Dhr̥ta-Mani-Vibhūṣam Dhanvantarim Divyam.

Translation:

“I bow to Lord Dhanvantari, who holds a conch, discus, leech, and the nectar of immortality in his graceful hands. His presence removes all ailments and grants health, vitality, and longevity.”

Short Healing Mantra:

For simplicity, many also chant:

ॐ श्री धन्वन्तरये नमः
Om Shree Dhanvantariye Namaha

Purpose of Chanting:

  • To seek health, healing, and protection from diseases.
  • To enhance vitality and energy.
  • To connect with the divine energy of Ayurveda and holistic healing.

Regular chanting of these mantras is believed to promote physical and spiritual well-being.

The Case for Jesus and Early Christian Vegetarianism

Dear friends, today I invite you to reflect on evidence that has been largely overlooked but deserves our serious consideration: the possibility that Jesus and the earliest Christians lived a vegetarian lifestyle. This is not just an idea born out of modern concerns but a perspective deeply rooted in ancient texts, early Christian traditions, and historical records.

First, let us begin with the figure of John the Baptist, a man revered as the forerunner of Christ. Traditionally, John is said to have eaten locusts and wild honey, but alternative translations and ancient texts like the Gospel of the Ebionites suggest that “locusts” may have been mistranslated, and he likely ate “honey cakes” or manna, both vegetarian foods. Could this indicate a broader ethos of compassion and simplicity, reflective of a plant-based diet?

Consider also James the Just, the brother of Jesus and a key leader of the early Christian community. Historical accounts, including those by Hegesippus, describe James as a Nazarite, a man who abstained from meat and alcohol. As Jesus’ closest companion, wouldn’t James have exemplified his brother’s teachings? Scholars like Robert Eisenman suggest that James’ vegetarianism reflects the values of the original Jesus movement.

Furthermore, early Christian texts such as the Clementine Homilies advocate for abstaining from meat, aligning with the belief that humanity was created to live in harmony with all creatures. These writings reveal that early Christian communities may have viewed vegetarianism not just as a dietary choice but as a moral imperative, integral to living a life of love, mercy, and nonviolence—the very heart of Jesus’ teachings.

Finally, let us look to the Ebionites, an early Jewish-Christian sect who followed Jesus’ teachings and practiced vegetarianism. Though dismissed by later church orthodoxy, their practices and beliefs offer a glimpse into the original teachings of Christ. Alongside them, the Mandaeans and other ancient sects reveal that vegetarianism was not just an anomaly but a recurring theme among early spiritual movements.

Friends, this is not a call to rewrite scripture but to recognize the undeniable evidence before us—evidence that challenges us to reevaluate our understanding of Jesus’ teachings and the practices of his earliest followers. It reminds us to approach history with humility and a willingness to learn. Whether or not we adopt these practices ourselves, let us honor the compassion and respect for life that these traditions embody, for they are timeless truths deeply aligned with the spirit of Christ.

Amen.

Yeshua as an Ebionite Nazarene vegetarian prophet and messiah, embodying compassion and harmony with nature.

Amba Bhavani Kirtan (Jaya Jagadambe) by Sakshi Zion

Sakshi Zion singing the devotional chant to the Divine Mother for the Sunday Service at New Thought Center of Hawaii. Amba Bhavani means Mother full of Love & Jaya Jagadambe meaning Victory to the Mother of the Universe.

Amba Bhavani Kirtan by Sakshi Zion

The chant “Amba Bhavani Jaya Jagadambe” is a devotional hymn to the Divine Mother, often associated with Durga, Kali, or other forms of Shakti. This chant invokes the Divine Feminine as Amba Bhavani (Mother Bhavani, the sustainer of existence) and Jagadambe (Mother of the Universe), celebrating her victory and nurturing presence.

A literal translation of the chant is:

Amba: Mother
Bhavani: The consort of Lord Bhava (Shiva) or the one who gives existence
Jaya: Victory or glory
Jagadambe: Mother of the Universe

Thus, the chant can be translated as:
“Glory to Mother Bhavani, Victory to the Mother of the Universe.”

For initiates on the spiritual path, this chant holds layers of symbolic and mystical meaning:

Amba Bhavani represents the Divine Feminine as the force of creation, nurturing, and sustenance. Chanting her name calls forth the primal energy (Shakti) within oneself, awakening the Kundalini.

Jaya signifies triumph over the ego and ignorance, urging the aspirant to seek victory over the inner battles that veil self-realization.

Jagadambe acknowledges the universality of the Divine Mother, reminding the initiate that all beings and elements of creation are manifestations of her energy.


By chanting these sacred names, the aspirant aligns their inner being with the cosmic rhythm, invoking divine grace for transformation, protection, and spiritual liberation.

The Big Secret of the Gnostic Gospels

The most profound and esoteric secret of the Gnostics, based on the Nag Hammadi Library and broader Gnostic tradition, centers on the realization of the divine spark within humanity and the ultimate path to liberation from material existence. This concept is multi-layered, deeply symbolic, and central to Gnostic cosmology and spirituality.

The Divine Spark and the Gnostic Secret:

  1. The Divine Origin of Humanity:
    The Gnostics believed that within each individual resides a fragment of the divine, often referred to as the divine spark or light. This spark originates from the Pleroma (the fullness of the divine realm), a realm of pure, ineffable light and unity. However, humanity is trapped in the material world, which they viewed as the flawed creation of the Demiurge, a lesser and ignorant deity.
  2. The Material World as an Illusion:
    The material world, with its suffering, ignorance, and cycles of birth and death, is seen as a prison designed to keep the divine spark bound. The Demiurge, and the Archons (his assistants), enforce this illusion, ensuring humanity remains unaware of its true origins and divine potential.
  3. Salvation Through Gnosis:
    The “secret” of the Gnostics lies in achieving gnosis—a direct, experiential knowledge of the divine. This knowledge awakens the individual to their true identity as a being of light and their origin in the Pleroma. Gnosis transcends intellectual understanding; it is a profound inner realization that leads to spiritual liberation.
  4. The Journey of the Soul:
    Many Gnostic texts describe the journey of the soul as it seeks to return to the Pleroma. This journey involves overcoming the influence of the Archons, breaking free from the illusions of the material world, and ascending through spiritual realms. This path often requires self-knowledge, ascetic practices, and the guidance of a redeemer figure, such as Jesus or other divine emissaries.
  5. The Role of the Savior:
    In Gnostic cosmology, figures like Jesus are not merely saviors in the traditional sense but bringers of gnosis. They descend into the material realm to awaken humanity, teach the mysteries of existence, and guide the divine sparks back to their origin.
  6. Unity with the Divine:
    The ultimate goal of Gnosticism is not simply salvation in a conventional sense but reunion with the divine source.This reunion dissolves the illusion of separation and restores the individual to their true state of wholeness within the Pleroma.

The Most Coveted Esoteric Secret:

The most coveted secret of the Gnostics is this: you are not merely a being trapped in a flawed material world but a fragment of the divine, with the potential to awaken, transcend the illusions of the Demiurge, and reunite with the infinite source of light and love. This realization is not given by external authorities but is found within through direct spiritual experience.

This message, deeply empowering and liberating, challenges conventional religious structures and authority, which is why it was often suppressed or misunderstood. It remains a timeless teaching for those seeking deeper truths about existence, spirituality, and the nature of reality.

Gnostic Nazorean Love Feast

Here are some of the most profound and secretive verses from the Gnostic Gospels (primarily from the Nag Hammadi Library) that reveal the esoteric knowledge (gnosis) of the divine spark and humanity’s spiritual liberation. These passages illuminate the hidden truths central to Gnostic teachings:


1. The Gospel of Thomas

This collection of Jesus’ sayings is considered one of the most significant texts in Gnosticism.

Verse 3:
“If those who lead you say to you, ‘See, the Kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside you and it is outside you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will realize that you are the children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and you are poverty.”


Revealed Gnosis: The divine spark resides within; self-knowledge is the key to discovering one’s true nature and connection to the divine.


2. The Gospel of Philip

A mystical and symbolic exploration of spiritual truths.


Verse 67:
“You saw the Spirit, you became spirit. You saw Christ, you became Christ. You saw the Father, you shall become Father.”


Revealed Gnosis: The process of gnosis transforms the individual into their divine essence, aligning them with the source of creation.

Verse 112:
“The world came into being through error. For he who created it wanted to create it imperishable and immortal. He failed and did not attain his hope. For the world is not imperishable, nor is it immortal. But the children are.”


Revealed Gnosis: The material world is flawed and temporary, but the divine spark within humanity is eternal.


3. The Gospel of Truth

A poetic reflection on the nature of ignorance and enlightenment.


Section 18:
“For the one whom they sought after was within them all along. And the one who is perfect, the Father, is within them, and they did not know him. He revealed himself in a knowledge that is in harmony with his spirit, the knowledge that he is the one who exists from the aeons, filling everyone with himself.”


Revealed Gnosis: God is not an external entity but exists within all beings. Ignorance of this truth is the cause of suffering.


4. The Apocryphon of John

A foundational text of Gnostic cosmology and theology.


Section 29:
“I am the light that exists within all light. I am the remembrance of the Pleroma, bringing the spark of the divine to those who dwell in forgetfulness. Awaken and remember, for you are children of the light.”


Revealed Gnosis: Humanity’s true essence is light, but it has been obscured by ignorance (forgetfulness). Gnosis awakens this divine remembrance.


5. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene

A text that emphasizes inner wisdom and spiritual freedom.


Chapter 4, Verses 22-24:
“Be on your guard so that no one deceives you by saying, ‘Look over here!’ or ‘Look over there!’ For the Son of Man is within you. Follow him! Those who seek him will find him.”


Revealed Gnosis: The path to divine truth is internal, not external. The divine resides within each person.


6. The Tripartite Tractate

A philosophical exploration of Gnostic theology.


Section 84:
“The truth was not revealed to all but was reserved for those who are able to awaken to the light within themselves. The children of light are destined to return to the fullness of the Pleroma.”


Revealed Gnosis: Gnosis is not accessible to everyone but to those prepared to awaken and seek the divine light within.


7. The Thunder, Perfect Mind

A mysterious and poetic Gnostic text.


Section 13:
“For I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one. I am the voice of the hidden truth, dwelling within all beings.”


Revealed Gnosis: The divine encompasses all dualities and resides within the depths of every individual.


8. The Second Treatise of the Great Seth

A critique of materialism and affirmation of spiritual liberation.


Section 65:
“It was not I who was crucified but rather the shadow. I am the divine light that cannot be harmed, dwelling within all who have awakened.”


Revealed Gnosis: The divine essence is beyond the reach of physical harm or material suffering.


Key Themes in These Secret Verses:

  • Self-knowledge: True salvation comes from knowing oneself as a manifestation of the divine.
  • Divine spark: The core of human existence is a fragment of divine light, yearning to return to its source.
  • Material illusion: The material world is a temporary and flawed construct; true reality lies in the spiritual realm.
  • Awakening: Gnosis is the process of awakening from ignorance to the knowledge of one’s divine origin and destiny.

These passages form the heart of Gnostic teachings and provide profound insights into the mysteries of existence, the nature of the divine, and the path to spiritual liberation.

The Gnostic Rejection of Violence and Sacrifice

Jesus / Yeshua the Nazorean

Gnosticism, as a broader movement, typically emphasizes asceticism, the rejection of materialism, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. The material world, including acts of violence such as killing animals, is often seen as the creation of the demiurge (a lesser, corrupt deity). Many Gnostics sought to transcend this world through non-violence and spiritual purity, which is why vegetarianism was widely practiced among various Gnostic sects.

  • Animal Sacrifice as Violence: Most Gnostics viewed the material world as inherently flawed and violent. Acts like animal sacrifice were often seen as perpetuating this corruption. Instead, Gnostics advocated for spiritual practices that aligned with non-violence, inner purity, and the rejection of worldly desires, including the consumption of meat.
  • Gnostic Scriptures and Teachings: Texts like the Gospel of Thomas emphasize direct spiritual knowledge (gnosis) and inner enlightenment, rejecting the need for external rituals like sacrifices. Similarly, early Christian Gnostics often cited Jesus’ opposition to the temple’s sacrificial system (e.g., his cleansing of the temple in Matthew 21:12-13) as evidence of his rejection of such practices.
  • Jesus and the Sacrificial System: Jesus’ identification as the “Lamb of God” symbolizes a spiritual sacrifice that replaces the need for physical sacrifices. This aligns with the Gnostic view that true spiritual transformation comes from within, not through external rituals.

 “Consuming God” in Gnosticism

  • Metaphorical, Not Literal: The idea of “eating and consuming God” in Gnosticism is primarily metaphorical. It represents spiritual communion, enlightenment, and the assimilation of divine wisdom, not the literal consumption of animal flesh.
  • Eucharistic Symbolism: Early Gnostic interpretations of the Eucharist (the symbolic eating of Christ’s body and blood) emphasize its spiritual, not material, significance. Gnostics often interpreted this act as a mystical union with the divine, rejecting the physicality of consuming literal flesh and blood.
  • Non-Material Spirituality: The Gnostic worldview consistently prioritizes the spiritual over the physical. The idea of literally consuming God through animal sacrifices would contradict their fundamental belief in transcending materiality and rejecting the violence of the physical world.

Historical Evidence of Gnostic Vegetarianism

  • Ebionites and Nazoreans: Many early Christian Gnostic sects, such as the Ebionites and Nazoreans, explicitly rejected meat consumption and animal sacrifice. These groups saw vegetarianism as a way to embody Jesus’ teachings of non-violence, mercy, and compassion.
  • Essenes and Similar Groups: While some Essenes practiced animal sacrifice, other ascetic Jewish sects, including those with Gnostic leanings, rejected it altogether. The diversity within these groups highlights the broader trend of rejecting animal sacrifice among those pursuing spiritual purity.
  • Ethical Vegetarianism: Gnostics often tied their rejection of meat to ethical concerns, viewing the killing of animals as an unnecessary act of violence that perpetuated the corrupt material world created by the demiurge.

Vegetarianism was superior in many Gnostic groups because it aligned with their rejection of the material world’s violence and corruption. Sects like the Manicheans and Cathars practiced vegetarianism as a reflection of their commitment to spiritual purity, non-violence, and detachment from the material realm. Unlike sacrificial traditions in other faiths, Gnostic thought often viewed abstaining from meat as essential to transcending the physical world’s base desires, making vegetarianism a natural extension of their cosmology and ethics.

Govinda Jaya Jaya & Hare Krishna Kirtan at Kona Interfaith Concert 2023

Govinda Jaya Jaya & Hare Krishna Kirtan by Sakshi Zion & friends at last years (2023) annual Interfaith Concert at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kona, Hawaii.

Joining me was Karmic Atese (vocals), Triona (vocals), Kaimalu (keys) & Krishna Chaitanya (mridanga) it was a beautiful experience!

The mantra Govinda Jaya Jaya translates to “Govinda (another name for Krishna), glory, glory.” It celebrates the divine qualities of Lord Krishna, often revered as the embodiment of love, compassion, and joy. This mantra is a cornerstone of Kirtan, a devotional practice originating in the Bhakti Yoga tradition, which seeks to connect with the divine through collective singing.

Similarly, the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra—“Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare”—is a profound invocation of divine energy, calling upon Krishna and Rama as aspects of the supreme consciousness. Both mantras are imbued with spiritual power, as their vibrations are said to awaken the soul’s innate connection with the divine, purify the heart, and instill bliss and tranquility in the practitioner.

In Kirtan, these mantras create a communal spiritual resonance, uplifting participants into a shared state of devotion and transcendence.

Joining me was Karmic Atese (vocals), Triona (vocals), Kaimalu Harmon (keys) & Krishna Chaitanya (mridanga) it was a beautiful experience!

Translation:

  • “Om Mata Kali”: “Salutations to Mother Kali,” invoking the cosmic mother in her fierce and transformative form.
  • “Jai Maa”: “Victory to the Mother,” a cry of devotion and celebration of the Divine Feminine.
  • “Sri Maa”: “Holy Mother” or “Revered Mother,” an acknowledgment of the sacred and nurturing presence of the universal mother.

Mystical Interpretation:

These mantras honor the Divine Mother in her various forms, particularly as Kali, the fierce yet compassionate force of transformation and liberation. “Om Mata Kali” invokes her energy to destroy ignorance, fear, and ego, paving the way for spiritual rebirth. “Jai Maa” is a heartfelt declaration of surrender and gratitude, celebrating her infinite power and grace. “Sri Maa” reveres her as the source of all creation and nurturance, reminding the chanter of her protective, loving presence. Together, these mantras call forth the Divine Mother’s power to guide, protect, and transform the devotee on their spiritual journey.
