ICMOR

Melchizadek-- a Research Story and Pondering

One of the teachers I had worked with had a bit of a foreign-to-me view of things so to familiarize myself with her framework I did some research at the time. One of the guides (best word I can come up with for the moment) she was familiar with was called Melchizadek. Who is that?

So I decided to look him up on the internet (our mass-consciousness symbol of interconnectedness, access to all information, and group telepathy). For all the accounts saying that there wasn't much information about him available, I gathered quite a few interesting tidbits.

Melkizedek, Melchezedek, Melchizedek, Melki-Tsedeq, Melchizadek, Melchisedec, Malki-tzédek, Melchisedech, Melchisedek, Malchizedek, by any other name ... or by many other names?

I was going to post much of my 17 pages of notes but realized I might be stepping on some copyrights and it's not really necessary anyway-- the information is all out there easily accessible through searches under the myriad spellings of the name and the related names.

What fascinated me most about this adventure through spacetime trying to nail down this enigma was that depending on who it was that was speaking/ writing and what paths they followed, Melkizedek is also supposed to be the same person as Jesus Christ, the Christ, John the Baptist, Enoch, an angel, Archangel Michael, St. Michael, Adam, Seth, Hermes, Mercury, Mercury Trismegistus, Hermes Trismegistus, Micah, Metatron, Zoroaster/ Zarathustra, Idris, Hermes, Thoth/ Theyn, Moses, Noah, Shem, Ziusudra (Sitchin), Manu ("he who lives perpetually"), Khidr, Adonizedek, Zedek or worshipper of Zedek (a god found in the Canaanite/ Phoenecian pantheon, along with Elyon), Jupiter or worshipper/ priest thereof, the Angel that spared Abraham's son when God told Abraham to offer his only son in sacrifice, the three Angels at the Oak that represent the Holy Trinity, the youth who walked in the fire with the three youths of Daniel, and Noah's nephew who was born (without physical father's seed) wearing the badge of priesthood, already clothed and speaking blessings of the Lord.

This guy gets around.

He is also described as the Righteous King, King of (Jeru-, Uru-) Salem, King of Peace, King of Justice, eternal priest, high priest of God Most High, a pagan priest, a heavenly priest and more than a human king, eschatological high priest, messianic warrior, cosmic judge separating good from evil, the kingdom in which the broken reflections are gathered, one of the four with Jesus, Enoch, and Elijah who never in the ordinary sense died, the expression and image of the Divine Word, a concrete (if perhaps hidden) spiritual presence in the world, a truth beyond particularity, a superior priesthood, he whose authority is before all this history, a Master or Teacher who is hidden and appears during certain cycles, receives tithes from Abraham, priest of Abraham & therefore father of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and their derivatives, father of many lineages including the Roman Catholic, Mormon, and Masonic Royal Arch, avatar of a school of Gnostics known as "Melchizedekians," avatar of Seth (third son of Adam) and Shem (second son of Noah), "the embodiment of the divine image of the sephirah Chesed" (whatever that means? I haven't followed that thread yet),

(big breath) leader of the sons of heaven, deliverer from Satan and restorer/ recreator/ healer to the world, a key messianic figure at Qumran, head of priests, priest of Zedek, priest of El-Elyon [the most high God], worshipper of Elyon (father of Yahweh) or El Elyon, priest/ messenger to the congregation of the children of Seth, messenger from the Source, deliverer of enlightenment, he without beginning or end, "Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he abides a priest perpetually." (NASB) (Hebrews 7:1-3), "without pride of ancestry or hope of progeny", "without descent", God's eschatological agent which effects the destruction of the angel Belial and the wicked spirits in league with him (Dead Sea Scrolls), "made like unto the Son of God", "abideth a priest for ever", and "prototype, too, of the Wandering Jew, must still be serving somewhere as priest". There is also a reference to a translation = the _race_ of the High Priest(s). One text calls him a great priest before, during, and after time.

Psalm 110:4 names Melchizedek as representative of the priestly line through which a future king of Israel's Davidic line was ordained. The future king (in Christian belief, Jesus) is referred to as a "priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek". Melchizedek is supposed to play an important part in Christian catechism.

The Melchizedek Priesthood to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) is the authority and power to act in the name of God including the authority to perform ordinances and to preside over and direct the affairs of his Church and Kingdom. The full title of the Priesthood is the "Holy Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God," but is usually referred to in the shortened form, named for Melchizedek, king of Salem.

There also seems to be sort of a war over who gets to claim him. (Are we surprised?) Whether born as Noah, son of Lamech and Bathenosh, or as the son of Nir and Sophonim, Noah's nephew, both lengthy accounts talk about the child being fathered by the Lord, the Holy Ones, the sons of heaven, the foreigners, or the Watchers, and as belonging to the Nephilin(m).
Watchers? Who do you suppose they are?

other related tidbits:

Zoroaster/ Zarathustra was an ancient Persian prophet (3-5,000 yrs ago) and founder of the religion of Zoroastrianism, at one time the national religion, the oldest parts of which are written in a language very like and probably as old as Vedic Sanskrit. He was from what we call Afghanistan and possibly never died.

In some of the readings of Edgar Cayce, Hermes or Thoth was an engineer from the submerging Atlantis and he built or designed or directed the construction of the Pyramids of Egypt.

For those who found this page searching for Mel, that's the end of the search results-- after this is just my ponderings and speculation and rambling.



What I'd been told at the time was that Melchizadek is the one who is one soul level down from Source, from God, from undifferentiation, the first level to have identity-- you don't get higher than that and have identity, because IS is simply IS. Well try to make sense of this idea of a one soul level down, in a mind that has been struggling to release the idea of hierarchies and levels and separations (and for that matter "souls" as a separate idea) and suddenly finds itself back in the land of religious-speak and grand stories of separation and less-than, and what I got was a cluster-f*** of "huh?" But like with everything else, I'd decided that I had created this in my experience and so I would simply translate it to the best of my ability and use it as beneficially as I could.

(It wasn't as easy as that, though, because I'd simultaneously been insisting I WAS quite separate and less and all of these lovely creative ideas we explore here in the "land of limitation." I had to do "me" before I could do "we." This was three years ago. To make a long story short, I'll get on with my ponderings. :) )

So, what if Melchizadek is one way of saying awareness of ICMOR, IAMOR, separation is an illusion-- that which knows it is All That Is and also as an identity distinct from IS-- that would explain why all of those "holy" or "high up" or "visionary" or "miracle worker"-type dudes (and dudettes-- where are all the women who could be on this list?!?) were said to be in the order of that, in the line of that, or that itself/ he himself. King of peace. IS. Michael, the sword of judgment-- what if that means he transcends the polarity/ duality and can see the whole? Is not trapped in the perception of right/ wrong, good/ evil, knows everything is all one thing, and we are all "it."

Oh yeah the 'holy' scribes/ 'sacred' scribes go in there, too, Thoth, etc. Hildegard of Bingen. (There's one of our women.) Holy/ sacred would be equal to the recognition of the transcendence, that's all, nothing cosmic and unreachable about that, simply being able to see beyond the game, beyond the maya, beyond that whole 'past and future' thing-- beyond time. And we are that and it is us, and it was all along.

No need to go searching-- recognize already know. Acknowledge own knowing, even in the face of "out there" appearing in opposition, because it works inside -> out, so own it first, no matter what, THEN get to see reflection of that.

The idea of the difference in translations can be illustrated with the idea of an image to go along with. In a/the great spiritual/ religious/ cosmic hierarchy Melchizadek is supposed to be first from the top-- that which knows its own self and has integrated as much of All That Is as possible & yet still has an identity. I 'saw' a hierarchical pyramid sort of idea, with splits and splits and splits as it went down, a lot like a spiritual family tree, one begets the next, and we as humans were somewhere on the bottom of all of that.

In the 'new' picture, All That Is is the morphing blob in the center and all of us are right there around it, not really separated (though knowing self as individual) and certainly not separated by miles and layers of souls and oversouls etc. Every identity is also "Melchizadek" in that each is only one "step away from" ATI, not hierarchy at all, all One. Playing a part. The idea is that we can experience separation yet it is not really truth inherently, so when finished exploring that then we'll know again that there is no separation and there never really was.

No wonder they look at you funny when you remember this and they don't, eh? No wonder some call it heresy-- they don't see it, they're exploring separation. :)

The vibration of 5,000 answers (unconditional love, knowing/ conviction, IS) also 'clears away' 'separation', the idea of separation.

This 'new' picture is also holographic, One = many, many = One, is also Indra's Net, is the recognition that we are all IS, AND including oneself in there as well, being it not just thinking it, secure, open, embracing that which presents itself because it is more of self to know, no separation, no judgment.

Hilde's all like "you already got it, man!" LOL

It gets translated into whatever word of the day, and then interpreted and re-interpreted, getting further away from truth because the essence goes missing. lol which is also what it says. (out to lunch, back at four.)

Own it, use it, apply it, be it = integrated.


And this is why people in general wiped these folks out-- or tried to! -- because they were f**king with the game, they were interrupting the movie. (That's why nobody listened.)

In exploration of separation, of playing the part, of being the story, we don't WANT somebody jumping up in the middle and pointing out the inconsistencies or the actors-- the reality behind the movie-- we want to experience the story.

And now, in time of waking, our "great shift", folks are popping up all over the place with the remembrance, and it's NO WONDER the ones still playing separation game seem to be going into high drama, high panic, grasping at and/or creating more separation -- DUH -- They're saying, "QUIT F**KING WITH MY GAME!"

And this is why "it" (shift, enlightenment, God, Christ Consciousness, Buddha Nature, Krishna Spirit, etc) is seen as "out there", separate from the people. If it were truly acknowledged and lived as "in here" = end of movie. "Quit waking me up!! I was enjoying my dream!!"

There is value fulfillment in the exploration of separation -- if there wasn't, we wouldn't do it. But this is why they don't listen; it doesn't mean it's not true, it just means they're not ready yet. This is fine. As we are ready, we awaken. Nothing stops us. Nothing can.


In separation game, when we are following our own bliss, we don't get irritated with others who are doing stupid sh!t, or who are doing that which we do not prefer, because we are so enjoying ourselves-- that's why the perennial wisdom, follow your bliss.

In waking, self-realization, what is called enlightenment, the "shifted state", we don't get irritated with others who are doing stupid sh!t, or that which we do not prefer, or insisting on staying in the play, because we know it's a play. If they're still bugging us, we haven't fully integrated yet. This is fine. :)

This is the We. We are One. We are All That Is. We do not have to hide, yet we do not have to push. We Be. :) Be, Do, Enjoy, Live! Feel! Explore! Create! Wonder. Laugh. Play!

I don't have to hope, I know it-- you are eternal, and you are fully capable.
Now I know, so am I.

(let's see if I remember this tomorrow lol)
