You must be “born from above.” For, “Unless you are born from above, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” And that birth is literal, right out of the skull of man. One day, you will feel him. You are told, this comes with the seventh trumpet. And all of a sudden you hear it. It’s the most unearthly wind you have ever heard. ... And you certainly learn after the wind comes. You feel it, and you hear it, and suddenly you are waking and waking and waking. And you are waking where? In your own skull. And you know your skull is a tomb – you know it! You know that it is a sepulcher, and the only reason you are in it, someone must have thought you dead, because here you are. You are entombed, and it’s sealed. There is no way out. You are all alone. There is no watchman; you are all alone. Then you rise within your own skull – and you are fully grown! And then you have an intuitive wisdom as to how to get out, and no one rolls away the stone from the outside, as taught by our priesthoods of the world. You do it! From within, you push, just as a child pushes from within, and then something gives, and something rolls away – seemingly from without, but it is all because of your effort from within. And you come out, pushing yourself out of a little hole. And the first thing that comes out is your head. That comes first, then you squeeze yourself out, and then you pull the remaining portion of you, and look back at the thing out of which you came, and that is your sepulcher. That is where you were buried all along. That’s where you were dreaming the Dream of Life and thought it real. And when you come out, everything said in the story of Jesus in the Gospel concerning the birth you experience in a first-person-singular, present tense experience.
The 'birth from above' is a literal, mystical experience of resurrection from within one's own skull, which is revealed to be a tomb or sepulcher. It is accompanied by the sound of an unearthly wind and an intuitive knowing of how to push oneself out, mirroring the birth of a child. This experience fulfills the Gospel story of Jesus' birth and resurrection within the individual.
