When you read the 9th chapter of Isaiah, you may wonder what it is all about, but may I tell you nothing could be truer. Listen carefully: "To us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called `Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." These revelations do not come in the order the prophets recorded them (or some scribe changed); but the names are true and are revealed in perfect order. The first name given to you when you fell asleep was “El Shaddai” which means “God Almighty, or Mighty God”. But one day you will awaken! Now completely individualized, you will feel a vibration so great you will think you are going to die; but far from dying, the vibration will awaken you from your long, long sleep. You will awaken within yourself to discover that you have been entombed there for unnumbered centuries. You may not know how you got there and why, but I'll tell you: you went voluntarily. No one took your life, you laid it down yourself. You have the power to lay it down and the power to lift it up again. You deliberately entered the human skull and laid yourself down to dream the dream of life. Mystics claim you have been dreaming there for 6000 years. I have had no vision to support such a time interval, but I can say that when it happened to me I felt as though I had been entombed for unnumbered ages. For a moment I wondered how I got there, and then I remembered scripture: "He is not dead, but sleepeth, I go to awaken him." One day you, too, will hear the voice of the Son of God and awaken from your sleep of death, for when God sends his Son into your heart crying, "Father," you will hear it and awaken from your long, self-imposed sleep. It takes an enormous power for Mighty God to stir himself and awaken to find the symbol of his birth as that of a child. You may think the child that is born and the son which is given are one and the same, but they are not. The son appears 139 days later. It is he who reveals you as God, the Maker and creator of it all. Prior to that moment in time you - like a scientist - look outside of yourself for the cause of all life; but when David - God's only begotten son - comes from within and calls you Father, you have found the cause. And when your son reveals you as the Father, the cause of all life, you will bear the name Everlasting Father. Now, the third great revelation is that of Wonderful Counselor. And in scripture the Wonderful Counselor is associated with a serpent. Referred to as the wisest of all of God's creations, it was the serpent who suggested eating of the tree of knowledge. And when told he would die, the serpent said; "No, you will not truly die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." The Wonderful Counselor did not lie, for believing himself to be you, he experienced death but did not really die. Even though we depart this world and seem to die, we don't. Instead we are restored to life in a world just like this, to continue our journey for unnumbered centuries. Now, in the same 3rd chapter of Genesis, the Lord said to the gods: "Behold the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil," just as the serpent said he would. Only by coming down into this world of experience can you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and become as the gods. So we see the 3rd title, Wonderful Counselor, has much to do with the serpent. We are told that: "No one ascends into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the son of man; and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up." When you read these words they do not make sense, but when you experience them - and you will - the third title of Wonderful Counselor is conferred upon you. Your eyes will be opened then, and you will know good and evil from experience. You will know that you will not die, but will return to the heavenly state from which you - the son of man - descended. And you will ascend like a fiery serpent. Now, the serpent of scripture is described in the 6th chapter of the Book of Isaiah as the seraphim which surround the throne of God. The seraphim is [sic], by definition, a fiery being with human face, human voice, and human hands. Isaiah gives him six wings: two to cover his face, to cover his feet (which is a euphemism for his creative organs) and he flies with two; but beyond that, this heavenly being, the wisest of all God's creations, is not described. This is your true identity, for you are the gods who came down. Now the 4th title, Prince of Peace, is sent in the form of a dove. This does not physically happen to you, and when it happens you are the only one who knows it. Read the first chapter, the 10th verse of the Gospel of Mark carefully, and you will see that only the one upon whom the dove descended was aware of it: “When he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens open and the Spirit descended upon him like a dove.” You are destined to have this experience as the fourth title, the Prince of Peace, is conferred upon you. You will bear the four titles, and in so doing you will fulfill scripture. Having foretold it you came down to fulfill it within yourself.
The four divine titles from Isaiah 9:6 (Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace) are not merely prophetic names but represent a sequence of internal, mystical experiences that unfold within the individual, revealing their true divine identity. These experiences are: 1) Awakening as 'Mighty God' from a long spiritual sleep, realizing voluntary descent into human form. 2) Being revealed as 'Everlasting Father' when God's Son (David) appears and calls the individual Father, signifying the discovery of the ultimate cause of all life within. 3) Becoming 'Wonderful Counselor' through the experience of good and evil, associated with the serpent, leading to the realization of immortality and ascent. 4) Receiving the 'Prince of Peace' title through a personal experience symbolized by the descent of a dove, signifying profound inner peace and the fulfillment of scripture.
