So in his last years of his life Hickaman likened himself to John the Baptist? Did I read that correctly? So there is a new ''jesus'' ? Is that it?
Well that's new.
But the masculine / feminine union and ''not judging'' is old stuff. The rantings about how ''true wisdom'' is not ''knowlede'' because no one can ''know the truth'' it must be ''experienced''...that's all the same.
Since 1982.
Anyway he paints a jesus/john relationship which is new to me. I was raised on the jonathan/david thing.
So I highligted some of it.

THE WORDS OF JACK HICKMAN
''Elohim is a plural word that is both feminine and masculine: Elo - feminine; him - masculine. The functions of Elohim are both masculine and feminine.
===========
I don't know how many of you have read much in the Gospel of the Nazirenes, but when Yeshua came to John the Baptist in the water of the Jordan, he was thirty years old. He and John had a talk about the appropriateness of this, but Yeshua demanded it. Some of you guys may not know this, because you may never have taken a mikveh, but you are supposed to have someone there to push your head down under the water. The whole body has to be submerged in a mikveh, with water over your head. That's what John did with Yeshua.
After Yeshua had taken the mikveh, a bird, a dove flew overhead and then there was a voice. I'm just talking about it, not quoting exactly, but the first thing the voice said was, "I have been waiting for you for a very long time." .........etc. etc...... Up to that point, Yeshua had been just another man, but at that point, he had become anointed by God in the spiritual sense. His life was changed, and he went away from that experience with a completely different understanding of who he was. etc...etc...blah blah blah
That's exactly what happened to Yeshua when he took the mikveh in the Jordan River with John the Baptist, his cousin. He didn't know what was going to happen. He came to that point, and if you could ever hear the whole story, you would learn that he didn't want to go down there. He had this inner urge (I'll talk about that from time to time) to do this thing. The rest of his family went down there to John, but Yeshua didn't do that. He held back, which was very much the man in him. It was never a matter that he didn't trust God; rather, he didn't trust himself. ...etc. etc....blah blah blah
===============================
.
The first of the thirty-two mysterious paths of wisdom is the path that is probably more difficult than any other path; not just because the masculine must come to a point of identification with feminine energy and mentality, but because you do not know who you are, what you are, why you exist, or why things have happened to you that have happened. ......etc. etc. blah blah blah....
What is the first verse in the Torah? Bereshit bara Elohim. What are those three words? God is speaking. When a human speaks, what is happening physically? [Answer: Vibrating air through the mouth.] That's right. How do we make that happen? We breathe in and breathe out, and create speech. When we talk, we blow it out. That's how it works, physically. Who or what is doing this? [I assume he is referring now to the verse above. JH] God's Spirit, etc...etc... Elohim is the breath of God, Ruach haKodesh. Elohim is our experience with the first step of the thirty-two steps of wisdom, because it brings together the masculine and the feminine.
etc..etc...blah blah blah...
=================
We walk this Path to learn how to become one with everybody and everything. Sometimes only you can experience that oneness, because other people don't want it. Most people don't [want it], but that doesn't stop you from acting, which is the only way you can do it. You just react; not in repulsion or in anger, or by trying to start a fight
etc...etc...blah blah blah
====================
What is spiritual? What is spirituality? Elohim is spirituality. I think you know by now that when you were born, there was within most of you the holy seed, that tiny thing that is a pocket from which the seed can break out. If you are born from above, that [breaking out] happens, and that makes this kind of life much easier................
