Symbolic Process

Out of body experience

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.

John 3:3
King James Version (KJV)

What if being born again just mean to go out of the body ?
Reading the passage above then makes a lot more sense. The astral body during sleep leaves the physical body this is like being born again.

 Blind to the spiritual

The Apocalypse of Peter -- The Nag Hammadi Library: And he said to me, "Be strong, for you are the one to whom these mysteries have been given, to know them through revelation, that he whom they crucified is the first-born, and the home of demons, and the stony vessel in which they dwell, of Elohim, of the cross, which is under the Law. But he who stands near him is the living Savior, the first in him, whom they seized and released, who stands joyfully looking at those who did him violence, while they are divided among themselves. Therefore he laughs at their lack of perception, knowing that they are born blind. So then the one susceptible to suffering shall come, since the body is the substitute. But what they released was my incorporeal body. But I am the intellectual Spirit filled with radiant light. He whom you saw coming to me is our intellectual Pleroma, which unites the perfect light with my Holy Spirit."

Science and materialism in general is creating a world of blind - putting aside the spiritual layer of life is making people unaware of a large portion of their life. But does Science has the answers to question like "What are ghosts ?" "What happen after a person die ?" "What are dreams ?" "What is enlightenment ?" "What is free will ?" ... trying to ignore spiritual matter just lead to ignorance, confusion and fear.

Back to the classic

Pythagoras Brings the Symbolic Process to the West.: Pythagoras created Western philosophy, empirical science, occult initiation, geometrical symbolism, and number theory. Most of what is generally known is gleaned from the works of Plato and the remnants of his Academy—the academic perspective. The difference is that Plato was escaping from reality into abstract idealized alternatives which fit so well with the cloistered Medieval Scholastic monks.
