The One - The Only

The Final Age®

A Very Concise Readers Guide to The Final Age Testament

Why a Final Age Testament?

Google Final Testament and you will find links to the noble scripture of Islam, the Quran (Koran). Why Final? If the Old Testament is replaced by the New Testament then the Final Testament gets the last word.

Did the New Testament announce a New Covenant and a New Age?

Is the New Age two thousand years old?

Barnes and Noble and Borders bookstores now have New Age sections that are not dedicated to a new covenant of Christianity. They are filled with volumes on the Occult, the Kaballah, Tarot, Wicca and pop spirituality.

Is this the New New Age?

No Old. No New. "Age" is a fiction.

Back to the Bible, from the Greek ta biblia, “the Books”, which are more accurately called a library. Written over a period of ten centuries this library contains the original classics of the Western literary canon.

What is authoritative in this library?

The Hebrew Bible ends with 2 Chronicles and the rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple. Rabbinic Judaism continues, to this day, choosing forms of worship and practice based on The Original Testaments poetic tales. The Rabbis defined study as worship since everything is contained in the canon, and it is turned upside down and inside out in the process of Midrashic interpretation. Our Rabbis of blessed memory creative reading also acknowledged the great sense of humor of the Yahwist.

The first expansion of the Hebrew Bible library occurred with the addition of Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation. These additions required a new floor plan so the Christian “Old” Testament ends with The Book of Malachi and Elijah the prophet so the final word is an announcing of the Christian Messiah. The “Old” and The “New” are theological fictions.

To review, first we have the Hebrew bible, then the Greek New Testament and finally an Arabic Koran. Literally the word of God to believers, the Koran is a Final Testament since Muhammad declares a seal to prophecy, “There shall be no further prophets.”

This did not stop Joseph Smith from his new revelation, the latest addition (and edition) to the library of scriptures. The Book of Mormon is another Final Testament. Both are works of genius, but the Koran is glorious in the original Arabic because of its literary power as a prose poem which is the word of God, while The Book of Mormon is readable only to initiates.

The Final Age Testament is the grand finale, the newest wing to the Bible as library.

Read From Present to Past to Present

Our first reading of The Final Age Testament is from after to before.

Read the screenplay Consider Me A Dream first.

The script announces the Final (Kafkan) Age, and portrays a rather unkafka-esque Kafka. Kafka’s “Final Testament” to burn his works is understandable in light of those interpreters who do not grasp that true religion and humor walk hand in hand. Kafka knew that playfulness turns irreverence into an act of faith.

Dreams have a logic of their own, so one may film the screenplay
scenes in any order. The Ten Dreams:

The Grooming (Wedding)
In the Promised Land
The Funeral (Amerika)
Kafka’s Bar Mitzvah
The Metamorphosis
The Eden of Belz
Rabbi Kafka
Golems
The Tribunal
The End (Sanatorium and Cemetery)

The scenes overlay the Ten Sephirot each containing the essence of the others. Read front to back then back to front again. All is possible in Consider Me A dream.

Since there is no before or after in the truth of Torah read Final Kabballah next, in fact read it twice. Continue with Final Revelation.

Final Revelation is not the end of the word or the end of the world. Next read Final Acts.

Final Acts renews the new. Continue with The Psalms of Final Testament.

The Psalms of Final Testament announces the merging of the two Jerusalem’s, One Old, One New.

Finally, read Final Testament, also known as Blessed Spinoza’s De-scription and Isaac’s Last Laugh.

Then begin again, from before to after, from beginning to end, avoiding any designation of before or after, old or new, or final.

Do all this once a year and we have a classic.

Do it with joy and we have a religious classic. The Final Age Testament.
 
Finally!

                                                                        Rabbi R.E.A. Shone


And the Lord looked upon the world She had created and She was convulsed with wholly uncontrolled laughter. And She summoned Professor Higgs (who discovered The God Particle, the scalar boson) and suppressing her mirth, She dealth with him firmly and said: Wherefore has thou destroyed the symmetry of the world?

Higgs responds: "... Who could have predicted the sunsets and the oceans and the organic ooze formed by all the awful molecules agitated by lighting and heat? And who could have expected evolution and those physicists poking and probling and seeking to find out what I have, in your service, so carefully hidden?

And the Lord, hard put to stop her laughter, signed forgiveness and a nice raise for Higgs."
The Very New Testament 3:1 by Leon Lederman

 

Before Beginning: A Musing

We dance round in a circle and suppose
But the secret sits in the middle and knows.

Robert Frost

B ray sheet
In the very beginning
Tow who and bo who
Grainy nuclei, swirling

The strings become a sphere
Unfolding to an orb.

Unified forces cut space into fields
That center and enfold a point.

Peace is made between fiery angels
and the angels of the essence
and in this harmony
matter comes to be.


So, I ask you learned reader, who is the Kabballahist who wrote the above speculation on the nature of creation; and all that it contains? (Everything).

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai?
Rabbi Moses Son of Nahmun M.D.?
The Lion Luria?
Rabbi Chaim the Vital?

First, the interpretation:

B ray sheet
In the very beginning
Tow who and bo who

The Flour

Grainy nuclei, swirling
The strings become a sphere
Unfolding to an orb

The dough is rolled out

Unified forces cut space into fields
That center and enfold a point.

Diamond shaped pieces of dough are cut and stuffed with meat.

Peace is made between fiery angels
and the angels of the essence.

The water in the pot is brought to a boil and kreplach placed therein.

and in this harmony
our matter comes to be.

Perfect Kreplach. ( Ravioli, or God forbid, wan ton.)





Reading this Bible
The Bible is a portable library containing many books and authors. What follows is the newest wing.You do not read straight through a library. You do not assume every book is in harmony with every other book. You understand the fiction wing of the library gives flight to truth as well as the non- fiction wing. In fact, alighting on only one wing you will naturally fly in circles. All of my writings are fictions. And non.

 

 

Who says the Bible is completed?
In The Five Books Of Laurence
A Rabbi rewrites The Bible (Including See The Thunder)
A Final Kabballah.

“There are some things so serious: you can only joke about them.”
-Neils Bohr

"and what shall I say
I stutter A-A
Nothing else do I
know how to say"
- Catherine of Sienna

God, Allah, Christ, New Age, Old Testament, New Testament, The Bible, The Quran (Koran), Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Rabbi, Priest, Minister, Fundamentalism, Revelation, Revelations, Religion, Politics, Psychology, Madonna and Kabalah (Kabballah, Kabbalah, Kaballah, cabala) and more are all redefined in the Final Age (Se A lah).

Franz Kafka teaches that religions, like people get lost. The same is true of words and meaning, and politics and psychotherapy.  In the Final Age religion is viewed as literature as much as revelation, so we also recognize the prevalence of weak poetry and loose prose. The Meaning of the Original Wor(L)ds are lost, more than any Sacred Truths.

The Final Age, and Sealah, begin as fictions, and then become F(A)cts.

One last (final) word: Lighten up! The ascent up the mountain leads to the Arête. Character and characters are found on the peak. Fundamentalism and all grave teachings take place at the base. True revelation teaches basics, not secrets, fundamentals, not ism’s.
