Temples – Origins – (2643)

Introduction

This post picks up from the previous post on temples, where a list of points to do with temples was presented. This post addresses the first point in that list which is: “Origins”.

Origins

Each sacred site and sacred temple is very much related to origins. In religions a temple is usually built on a sacred site, where the sacred site was the location upon which an important happening unfolded that was instrumental in the founding of that religion.

A very good example is the Har HaBayit, the most sacred temple of Juadaism - the temple mount in the old city part of Jerusalem. It is said that the temple was built over the foundation stone where it is believed that upon this stone God created the world.

Contact the Divine Originating Force

In a temple one is always lead to come into contact with the Divine force that gave rise to that temple. Each temple contains its origin as the central feature. Often, in the temples of the religions one enters to pray to the Creator or to the prophet, saint, angel, Son of God or even God that taught the fundamental teachings of that religion.

Our heart temple is also related to an origin - our own origin, which for every human being is the Monad.

When we concentrate on our heart temple we do so mostly to come into contact with our originating intelligence.

Our originating intelligence and force knows all about us and so to enter our own heart temple is to come to know ourselves evermore.

Dedication

Each temple is dedicated to a Divine force and that Divine force is the origin of the temple. There appears to be no temple devoid of dedication or origin.

Ancient Times

In the ancient times a temple stood as the first place to search for the mysteries. The door of the temple stood to mark the beginning of the entrance to the mysteries for the neophyte. Every master of the ancient and modern times has a temple standing at the origin of his or her mastery. Because it was the mysteries hidden in the temple that allowed the neophyte to become a master.

Every temple maintains its history from its origins. The word temple relates to time and so every temple is related to the unfolding of the manifestations of its Divine originating force, which occurs of the time of its origin to now.

When the Divine originating force withdraws then the temple of course falls into ruin. Just as happen with our own interior temple. We a human being falls the superior parts of the Being, the magnesium – the Intimate Christ leaves or escapes from the altar and within a short time the temple falls into ruin more and more, the more time passes without any restorative efforts being made.

Cause of Pilgrimage

All pilgrimages are done in the hope to discover and study the origins of their religion. The maximum hope is to contact the originating forces and intelligence. No doubt the sacred site and the temple mark and house the wisdom and the force of the origins.
