Defining ILuminosity ~
We define ILuminosity as the deep understanding of the
true Christian faith. We were first called "Christians" in Ancient
Antioch. We also represent the ancient church-body known as the Ancient
Antiochene Church of God (AACG).
Our current online ministries are "The Shepherds Way
(TSW)" & "Nugget of Truth". We offer all of our studies and
lectures for free online. Eric William King is the founder of these ministries
and teachings as they are presented today. Eric founded the original ministry
on October 10th 2017.
E.W. King continues to teach from the top of Mt. Shiloh to this
very day.
The Beauty of ILuminosity…
Eric defines a pure Christian spirituality as one that
involves Science, Art, and Religion. These topics cannot
be separated. A beautiful harmony is brought together in the true Christian
which fully satisfies the reverence, love, and awe for Divine Intelligence.
When all three come together in harmony an inspiring and transcendent reality
emerges. One departs from superstition and ignorance and gains ILuminosity.
Here we will introduce you to some of our deeper
teachings and understandings known as ILuminosity. To understand this more thoroughly
please read all of our articles and watch all of our lectures free online using
this TSW Blog.
The “Colliers Encyclopedia
– 1960” states the
following:
ILLUMINATI [tlu’mine’ iai; ilu’
mina’ti], a name given by the Ante-Nicene Church Fathers to those who submitted
to Christian baptism (Gr., “illumination”). They were called “illuminati”, or
“illuminated ones”, on the assumption that those who were instructed for
baptism in the Apostolic faith had received the grace of illumination in an
enlightened understanding…….

Tabula Rasa
By Eric William King (April 21st
2024)
To begin to understand
the true Apostolic faith we must first understand our
Human condition. This planet of ours has been here for millions of years and
has what we call a "First Earth" history. This ancient history
involves what our Bible refers to as beings called "angels". These
beings were not created on our planet and were in fact created long before our
planet was created. This means that they are extraterrestrial beings (Beings
not originally of our planet).
After our planet was created many of these angelic beings
were placed in charge of taking care of our planet which included building it
up for human habitation. Many earth animals and semi-humans were created and
placed under the angelic charge. These angels had a ruler or leader over them
known as Lucifer.
To fully understand the length of this time and what was
happening watch our four-part lecture series called; "The Creative
Ages". Towards the end of the First Earth a rebellion broke out which
involved good angels and very bad angels. We understand that Lucifer lead this rebellion
with one third of the angelic host and ultimately, they were cast out of what
we understand to be the Third Heaven. They are now involved here on planet
earth and the first two heavens. They are multidimensional beings’ and are
allowed to exist as part of what we refer to as "The Great Plan".
Lucifer along with one-third of the angels were thrown
out of the third-heaven in a ball of matter [trapped in a large asteroid] the
size of Mt. Everest and cast to earth. This happened 65 million years ago. Once
thrown down to earth the impact created huge explosions and actually three
large craters on earth. Seventy percent of all known life became extinct
including the dinosaurs. Some early human type beings however, surprisingly,
did in fact survive.
After the fall of Lucifer his name was changed to Satan
(“adversary”).
Starting with the Second Earth (the Earth space-time that
we understand and are experiencing now) part of our planet was made into a
Paradise of perfection for human living. Two humans were created and placed
into this paradise garden called Eden. These two were Adam and Eve. They become
a major part of the Great Plan. They both ultimately were led astray by the
spirit being Lucifer. They were cast out of the paradise garden and gave birth
to children. They lost their glorified bodies and became infected with sin. Sin
is all that is contrary to Divine Intelligence (God). (Read our article;
“Original Sin”) All of the humans became infected with sin – giving all humans
what we sometimes call the “fallen nature”. Paradoxically all of this occurred
according to God’s plan.
One of Adam and Eve’s children (Cain) started
relationships with some humans from the First Earth time period that had
survived outside of the Garden of Eden. We understand that even our natural created
planet now has sin and is not working as it should on all levels. Sickness,
disease, suffering, hate, crime etc. now exist on all levels of creation. We
now live in a Fallen Matrix. (Read about; “The Fallen Matrix”)
Cain became the progenitor of the humans known as
Kenites. The Kenites are actually fallen humans that come from the spiritual dark-side
(they are also genetically evil) and are working both directly and indirectly
for Lucifer, their true father. To more fully understand just who and what the
Kenites are you may read our articles concerning them and watch our lectures
about them. (Read about; “The Kenites”)
One thing we will reveal here about the Kenites is that
they love to create chaos. They use fear and the fallen human nature to do
this. Many politicians are Kenites. They basically control most all media
outlets and news. Most all human environments are corrupted by them. Though
some people are not born Kenites they have unfortunately adopted Kenite
attributes. They have fallen “in the way of Cain”.
In each dispensation man is trying to
consciously or unconsciously restore Paradise (adjust the environment) and
Create the Perfect man (now by using A.I. technology). The bad angels have
always interfered. Satan and his angels point people in every direction that
points away from God.
So, we must now understand how we as fallen humans in
this Fallen Matrix are perceiving things and how we function. Divine
Intelligence has spoken through many ages and dispensations of time to the
consciousness of mankind and especially early on to the Israelite people through
prophets who became His first representatives as a people.
The Bible teaches seven major dispensations of time since
Adam and Eve and we are currently in the sixth dispensation known as the
Ecclesiastical Dispensation. This dispensation began just over 2000 years ago. To
fully understand dispensations and ages read our papers on the seven
dispensations. (Read about; “The Dispensations”)
We understand the written Bible which contains sixty-six
books to be the Word of God for our planet. We believe that it outlines,
documents and explains God’s Great Plan. At the beginning of our current
dispensation God sent Himself in the person of His son, Jesus the Christ. Most
have heard about Jesus Christ but have wrong conceptions about Him. To more
fully understand just who Jesus Christ is read our papers on Christology. (Read;
“Nature of Christ & God’s Essence”)
The Christian Church (Ecclesia) was organized for the
“body of Christ”, His true followers, to congregate and learn the Kingdom
Message. The church is also a place of worshiping Divine Intelligence and
administering the sacraments (baptism & the Lord’s supper). All of what you
have read up to this point is subject matter for the true Kingdom Message. To
become a true Christian, one must be “born again” or “born from above”. This
happens when a person hears the Word of God and honestly accepts it as Truth.
He or she then receives the fulness of the indwelling Holy Spirit which is a
deposit which guarantees the inheritance of the coming Kingdom of God.
Once born-again the student grows in faith and maturity –
a lifelong process. The true Christian has received the free gift of complete
salvation. The Christian then begins to share the Kingdom Message and the true
mission of Jesus Christ. All true Christians are missionaries. As Christians we accept the Scriptures (Christian
Bible) to be God's self-revelation, personally developed and put together by
Him (Holy Spirit). Many religions may speculate about "who" or
"what" God is but the Bible is much different - more
profound. The Bible claims to be the direct revelation of God from
God to humanity – through this understanding come deep hymnic
aretalogies.
We also use decrees or affirmations in our Christian
work. When we talk about affirmations of God, we are talking
about specific certainties in understanding God. This would be what we
refer to as a cataphatic (more literal) understanding – using human
senses and human reason in our theological understandings. However,
when we begin to talk about the abstract aspects of God – the mysterious
God, or “mysteries” of God – now we enter paradox and apophatic
theology. (Read; "Cataphatic & Apophatic Theology”)
It is also important for the Christian to eat healthy and
take walks or run. Doing some simple daily physical exercises is also highly
recommended. We do not follow any specific “food laws”, each person is created
different and has different takes, likes and dislikes. We try and keep our
dress-wear simple, not extravagant. In fact, many of us have taken on what we
refer to as a Hasidic style of dressing – this also is not a “law”. All people
dress differently according to likes and dislikes. (Read; “Hasidic Christianity”)
For meditations we use decrees, visualization (which can
involve icons) - and many like to use the Antiochene Rosary for bead
prayer-meditation (We do not pray to Mary or Saints we only pray to God).
Another very important teaching involves the Christian “spiritually” wearing
the full Armor of God. This involves understanding how psychic (soulish) energy
moves and works through our human bodies in the proper way. (Read our article:
“The Armor of God and Inner Powers”)
We
do not try and prop-up any Christian denomination or “independent” church. Our goal is to teach true Christianity testing
everything by the Word of God.
It
is true that we feel safe using the Seven
Ancient Antiochene Rules of Interpretation along with the background and history of the early church – mostly the first 451 years of the
Christian Church. All Christians who visit this ministry can take from it what
they believe God reveals to them. Our research is aided by our Antiochene Library and insight from
many Bible scholars.
Some
of what is taught here at TSW may
seem strange and odd to many American
Christians who have been isolated
from the truth about early Christian history. This is why it is extremely
important to understand early Christian history. We begin to understand and see
how the Holy Spirit led the early
church through 2000 years of differing cultures and traditions. Even today
Christianity has taken on its own form
right here in the United States.
From
its earliest days Christianity has had to contend with false teachers and
heretical dogma. Apostle Paul warned about apostasy in almost all of his
letters. It is very important for today’s Christians to understand the times
of the early apostles and how the early Church dealt with specific heresies.
Apostate
propaganda is spread all over the
place. It is up to each Christian to truly test the Truth’s presented to him or
her. When one reads the counsels given to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation one must understand
the cultural issues of these troubles and the early beliefs of those trying to
confuse Christians. This way we understand just how it applies to us today.
We
do not get paid to teach or share our message in anyway. Freely we have been
given, freely we give.
_________________________________
ILuminosity and the Human Mechanism ~
First,
we must understand that the Christian Bible is full of stories which involve
killing, murder, cheating, stealing, lying, fornication etc. The Bible is in
fact the most honest religious book regarding the fallen human condition. Our
God does not lie to us, He says it like it is. Through the past five
dispensations God has had to slowly reveal Himself to us in a much more certain
and understandable way. We understand the dispensations as periods of time
which act like a classroom, the school of planet earth.
Early
on Divine Intelligence taught early humans to fear Him. To the early humans a
message that involved loving your enemies was a sign of weakness. God must at
first be understood as a strong God. Thus, early man was first taught about the
power of God and that ignorant man should fear Him for their own safety.
As
the dispensations rolled on God began to teach humanity to respect their own
tribes and people which involved self-sacrifice. Sacrifice became the key
lesson for further development. God became known as a race-God, a good friend
of the people and an ally during times of war.
By
the time we come to Jesus Christ, the beginning of the sixth dispensation,
humans were ready to understand the bigness of God – God in Trinity. Sacrifice
no longer meant the death of an animal or even a person but instead sacrifice
became loving your enemies and being patient in love. In this dispensation (the
dispensation of Grace) one must learn to sacrifice him or herself through the
act of forgiveness and giving. Also, the pure doctrine, the doctrine of Jesus
Christ and the coming Kingdom came forth in power and clarity to the entire
world – all nations, kindreds, tribes and tongues.
The
doctrine of consequence, good deeds, forgiveness, spiritual rebirth, all work
together. This is enlightenment and thus the coming forth of true ILuminosity
to the child of God.
Now
let us talk about human perception. We will now name parts of the human
mechanism to help understand this information. We must understand that we are
created in the likeness of Divine Intelligence. God is a trinity and so are we.
Every human is born with a spirit (pneuma), a soul (psyche), and a physical
body (soma). We can break this down even further:
1 - The spirit of
man:
The
spirit of man is the gift of life, life essence to each human. It is also
understood as the monad from God. It has a need for God – longing for a true
relationship with God. It also contains your spiritual DNA – your uniqueness.
The spirit of man enters the human at conception.
2 - The soul of
man: Contains your mental body which involves reason and logic. It contains
your memories, past and present. It is the point from which you project your
personas and contains your core personality.
3 – The human physical
body: Contains your five objective faculties which are; Sight, Hearing,
Tasting, Touching, and Smelling. Also contains physical DNA memories from past
ancestors, what one might call ‘the collective unconsciousness’.
4
– One
more “body” that we recognize which bleeds through the spirit, soul and body of
man is the emotional body. This involves all of our personal feelings.
Some of these involve;
*Attraction
*Interest
*Indifference
*Repulsion
We
are spiritual and material beings. All of our “bodies” bleed into each other
and overlap each other. Our experiences (memories) since birth, both conscious
and unconscious affect our emotions, feelings, and even our physical bodies.
Through prayer and meditation decrees the things which activate the negative
sinful experiences can become neutralized. A pure relationship with God through
Jesus Christ brings this supernatural healing.
When
a person becomes a Christian he or she begins to experience “spiritual rebirth”
(gains the implantation of the Holy Spirit with his or her own spirit), and
awakens to the perception of the Perfect Matrix in contrast to the Fallen
Matrix. The person becomes an ILuminosite. An ILuminosite is a Christian
(child of Light) who is maturing in the Word of God and begins to develop the
clear spiritual vision which cuts through the Fallen Matrix and sees the true Light.
This
is why, as Christians, our kingdom is not truly of this world. We are not
caught up in the things of this fallen world but instead we have our eyes on
Jesus Christ. We become the spiritual light in this fallen world and we are to
“let our light shine”. We are transformed by the renewing of our mind. This
does not mean that we gain perfection here and we all still struggle with
personal sin but through the great work of Jesus Christ we have forgiveness and
strength from the Holy Spirit to continue on in our Christian work. (Read;
“Christian Harmony in a Fallen World”)
In
today’s sinful world we witness and feel terrible things with the bodies and
sensations that God has allowed us to have. The daily news is mostly terrible
news. Should we ignore it? No. Should we understand it for what it is and not
live in fear or anxiety? Yes.
We
are living in the time of the “Babylonian Prophecy” and the first phase of Gog
& Magog. (Read and watch our lectures regarding these subjects.) Divine
Intelligence informed us about the stage of prophetic history and just where we
stand on that stage. Understanding these things truly erases fear and reminds
us that God is in full and complete control of His Great Plan. Many make it
their interest to make sure that you all get very bad news with no hope.
Through
Jesus Christ a “spiritual alchemy” occurs which allows us to transmute
fallen-feelings and anxiety into proper psychic (soulish) energy. This renewed
energy can thus be used to properly serve God.
We
are dealing with fallen angels and the Kenites. There is in fact a spiritual
battle but it truly has already been won by the ONE. By learning to rest in the
One we learn to see clearly and make it through every trial. We are here, we
are one. We become ILuminosite’s. All false perceptions are adequately met
with through the Mind of Christ which dwells in us. Also, as Christians we are not
to be “unevenly yoked” which means that we must be careful who we befriend,
whether family or not.
Sometimes
we may learn how to Biblically and properly help a person, in other cases the
Holy Spirit will inform you to come at a complete disconnect from a person or
persons. Christians are moral people. Today morality has become completely
redefined by the Kenites and fallen ones. Being involved socially with
non-Christians can happen through proper training and understanding.
The
ILuminosite begins to truly understand his or her social personality or personas.
By recognizing them one begins to consciously Christianize their self thus
bringing out what we might call “individuation” which basically means you
become more whole in your Christian experience – a mature Christian.
We
live in a world of solids, liquids and gasses. We are experiencing a
three-dimensional world comprising space, time, and matter.
We are using our human faculties to experience and define this material world.
As Christians we have the new spiritual dimension imparted by the Holy Spirit.
This brings new insight and proper understanding – “the grace of illumination in an enlightened understanding.” It is the Holy Spirit that constantly points us to Jesus Christ
and to the development of the Christ nature. We become partakers of the Divine
Nature. The fourth dimension is actually properly experienced within the
renewed consciousness itself (The fourth dimension actually involves the spirit
realm.) We also experience three phases of time; past, present,
future. There is no such thing as a static “now” because everything is
in constant change - flux. We must find the “Lux” in the “flux”. The only
constant is eternity itself. Where will you spend it?
__________________________________________
ILuminosity and Human betterment ~
We
must also learn how to properly define our environments. The world tells us to
simply accept our environment and “go with the flow”. In other words, just act
like everyone else and you will do fine. True Christians are in this world but
not of this world. It is easy to give up and give in. However, as Christians we
are attuned to a higher mind channel – the Mind of Christ. This world has
advanced in regards to material gadgets and toys but when it comes to human
mercy, forgiveness and spiritual health it has actually grown darker. (Read;
“Hostility towards Christians increases”)
Why?
Jesus has warned us that as we approach the end of this sixth dispensation
things will grow spiritually darker than before. Eventually they will get
better. We are not alarmed we are armed, with the spiritual armor of God. (Read
our article: “The Armor of God and Inner Powers”)
Many
of us are feeling anxiety today due
to the experience of pre-rapture trouble
(Read our article: “Pre-Rapture
Trouble”). When we watch the news there is so much uncertainty. People
have lost hours at work and many have lost their jobs. As Christians we have
something in the midst of all of this that non-believers
do not have. We have hope and we have peace – shalom!
We
read in the prophet Isaiah the Lord says; “In repentance and rest is your
salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…”
Sadly,
God goes on to say that many refuse this. Many people including Christians who
are out of fellowship with God will never find the strength and peace through
these times if they are not honest with
themselves and God. We need to repent
daily and watch how we think and let
the Holy Spirit control all of our thoughts. (Read; “Forgiveness an Act”)
In
Philippians 4:6 we are also told to make
known all of our needs and wants. Having a personal relationship with God
also means that we read His word and let Him talk back to us. Finding true rest
in times of trouble means trusting in
the Lord and bringing Him into your trouble through prayer. Even when it
feels like He is not listening He is, He
is always working behind the scenes.
We
are told to dwell in “the secret place of the Lord”. That inner Sabbath is found in knowing that God sees everything that you
are going through and everything that you are experiencing. As Christians we
understand that our spirit and soul need proper nourishment and this
means that we eat from “the bread of
Life” daily. To be spiritually strong enough to go through we must eat
right and rest right. (Read; “God in Suffering”)
Many
a times we “walk through the shadow of death” knowing that we made it because
of the Lord (Psalm 23:4). God’s true people are called “the protected ones”.
This does not mean that we will never feel pain, loss, hurt and even death. As
Christians if we suffer, we realize that it is to make us stronger and this doctrine is not accepted by the world’s
standards. We can have ultimate peace when we look at Jesus Christ on the cross
who took away our sins and paved the way for us to go be with Him forever.
(Read our article about: “The New Earth”)
The grace and love of
Jesus Christ is real. You can experience a true
relationship with your Creator.
He has given us so many things including His word. I would challenge you to
remove all the “toxic” relationships from your life, people who refuse to
understand you as a Christian or at least accept you for who you are – let them
go. Bad company spoils good manners.
We
can never create a “perfect”
environment down here but we can learn to navigate through this fallen world
with the help of Jesus Christ who lives inside of all true Christians. Praise the Lord and be
thankful every day for your life and the things that He has provided. When bad
thoughts or depression try and wedge their way in stop, pray, and thank the
Lord. Think on good things and begin to realize that you are here just passing
through into something much, much greater – you are headed towards the Kingdom of God. (Watch; “The Kingdom of God is Literal”)
Christians
who have studied Christian ILuminosity (the Way) have testified to how better
off they are in life. Those who study with us and practice praying, decreeing,
meditation techniques and ILuminosity advice have gained a stronger faith,
hope, and love but the greatest of these is LOVE.
It
is extremely important to reprogram the fallen mind with proper
Christian doctrine. By studying with us here you may begin the process – the
download of proper spiritual understanding. There are no fines, fees or forms
to becoming an ILuminosite. Simply accept Jesus the Christ as your Lord, God
and Savior – be baptized by the water and the Word (If you have already been
baptized there is no reason to be re-baptized.) and stay with the healthy
church – it’s that simple.
Please
continue your studies with us here at “The Shepherds Way” & “Nugget
of Truth”.
