Spiritual Deep Dives: Ancient Secrets Revealed

Mariah Cruz

For thousands of years, there were ancient spiritual truths and mystical teachings passed down only to the highest initiates walking the path back to God. It hasn’t been until recent times that this secret knowledge has been available to the masses. Our team spent over 40 years researching many diverse spiritual, religious and scientific sources, recording the wisdom from the ascended saints and sages of East and West, tapping into the akashic records and calling on God’s Holy Spirit to reveal the spiritual truths and science behind the unseen forces that govern our lives. In this podcast, we will explore these teachings from a unique perspective that you probably have never heard before and show practical ways you can integrate them into your life to resolve deep seated personal problems, accelerate your soul’s evolution and help solve the world’s dilemmas.

    S5E1 - Who Was Jesus Really - The Deeper Spiritual Truth Behind His Teachings

    Who was Jesus beyond religious doctrine and orthodox belief? In this powerful opening episode of Teachings of the Ascended Masters, we explore the deeper spiritual identity of Jesus—not only as a figure of worship, but as a divine man who fully embodied the universal Christ consciousness and showed humanity what is possible for every soul. Drawing from the teachings of the Ascended Masters, ancient wisdom traditions, Eastern and Western mysticism, and the Akashic records, this episode challenges conventional theology while honoring the spiritual greatness of Jesus. You’ll discover why his life and mission may be best understood in the context of the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age, and why now is the perfect time to re-examine his teachings with fresh eyes. This episode explores profound spiritual concepts, including: - Jesus as an avatar of the Piscean Age and a completed Bodhisattva - The divine spark (threefold flame) within every human heart - The idea that Christ consciousness is attainable, not exclusive - The connection between Jesus and other great avatars such as Krishna, Rama, and the Buddha - The concept of the Logos (the Word) across Christian, Hindu, and mystical traditions - The preexistence of the soul, reincarnation, and karmic evolution - Jesus’ spiritual journey across multiple lifetimes, including ancient civilizations such as Lemuria and Atlantis - Why motive, karma, and compassion—not belief alone—determine spiritual advancement Rather than asking you to abandon your beliefs, this episode invites you to think freely, question inherited assumptions, and consider a broader spiritual framework—one in which Jesus’ life becomes a living blueprint for enlightenment, service, and divine realization. Whether you are Christian, spiritual-but-not-religious, or simply seeking truth beyond dogma, this episode offers a deeper lens through which to understand Jesus’ teachings and their relevance in our time. This is not about replacing faith—it’s about expanding understanding. This is not about worship—it’s about awakening.

    S5E2 - Who Was Jesus Before the Gospels - The Lost Spiritual History of the Christ

    Who was Jesus before the story told in the Gospels—and why has so much of his spiritual history been hidden? In this episode, we explore the lost spiritual life of Jesus Christ, revealing a deeper narrative that stretches far beyond his final incarnation in first-century Palestine. Drawing from ancient records, mystery-school teachings, and the wisdom preserved by the Ascended Masters, this discussion uncovers Jesus as a soul walking the path of initiation across many lifetimes—a path every seeker can one day follow. - You’ll discover teachings rarely discussed in mainstream Christianity, including: - Jesus’ pre-biblical embodiments and spiritual preparation - His role in ancient Golden Age civilizations, including Atlantis - The meaning of Christ consciousness and the Christ mind - The true nature of initiation, karma, reincarnation, and ascension - Why Jesus returned repeatedly out of compassion for humanity - How his life demonstrated spiritual laws once taught only in secret mystery schools This episode reframes Jesus not only as a figure to be worshipped, but as a living example of humanity’s divine potential—a master who openly demonstrated the initiations that lead to union with the Divine Self. If you are searching for the deeper spiritual truth behind Jesus’ teachings, the hidden meaning of the Christ, or the path of spiritual awakening and ascension, this episode offers insights meant for this exact moment in human evolution. - This is not theology. - This is not dogma. - This is the forgotten spiritual science behind the life of Jesus.

    S5E3 - Why Jesus Took Incarnation - The Hidden Spiritual Mission Behind His Life

    Why did Jesus choose to incarnate on Earth—and what was the true spiritual mission behind His life and teachings? In this episode of our series Uncovering the Spiritual and Historical Life of Jesus, we explore the deeper, often hidden reasons for Jesus’ incarnation—truths rarely discussed in traditional Christianity. Drawing from the teachings of the Ascended Masters, karmic law, cosmic cycles, and ancient spiritual traditions, this discussion reveals Jesus not only as a savior to be worshiped, but as a master who embodied the path of spiritual ascension for humanity. We examine how Jesus’ mission was intricately connected to the transition into the Piscean Age, the release of humanity’s accumulated karma, and the divine plan to prevent planetary cataclysm. You’ll learn about the karmic board, the role of avatars throughout history, the preparation of Essene and Nazarene communities, and how Jesus volunteered to take on a monumental spiritual burden to keep Earth on the path of light. This episode also sheds light on Christ consciousness, the threefold flame within the heart, and why Jesus emphasized intimate union with the inner Christ rather than blind reliance on an external savior. For spiritual seekers longing to understand the true meaning behind Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, this conversation offers a profound and transformative perspective. If you feel called to explore Jesus beyond dogma—and to rediscover the universal spiritual truths he lived and taught—this episode is for you. This is not religion. This is remembrance.   #Jesus #SpiritualTruth #ChristConsciousness #HiddenTeachings #AscendedMasters

    S5E4 - The Secret Meaning of Christ’s Sacrifice They Never Taught in Church

    What if the true meaning of Christ’s sacrifice was never about physical death—but about spiritual surrender, inner transformation, and the awakening of Christ consciousness within each soul? In this episode of Uncovering the Spiritual and Historical Life of Jesus, we explore the hidden spiritual meaning behind the phrase “Christ died for our sins”—a statement that has shaped Christianity for centuries, yet was never fully explained. Drawing from ancient spiritual teachings, the wisdom of the ascended masters, and the original esoteric understanding known to Jesus and Paul, this episode reveals a radically deeper truth. You’ll discover how: - The “shedding of blood” symbolizes the release of divine life and light - Karma is balanced through daily surrender of the human self to the Higher Self - Christ consciousness is carried in the blood and consciousness itself - Jesus fulfilled his mission through obedience, initiation, and inner sacrifice - Forgiveness of sins was never meant as a license for repeated wrongdoing - The law of grace replaced the law of retribution during the Piscean Age - Institutional Christianity obscured the original inner path taught by Jesus This episode challenges long-held assumptions about salvation, sacrifice, priesthood, and authority—and invites you to rediscover the inner Christ path that Jesus actually taught. Far from blind belief or outer rituals, this is a journey of awakening, surrender, and spiritual mastery. If you are searching for the deeper mysteries behind Jesus’ life, the esoteric meaning of the crucifixion, or the lost teachings of early Christianity, this discussion offers profound insights rarely shared from the pulpit.

    S5E7 - Jesus Beyond the Church, The Fallen Angels, and the Hidden Teachings

    What if the true mission of Jesus Christ has been largely misunderstood? In this episode, we go far beyond traditional church doctrine to explore the ancient spiritual mysteries surrounding Jesus’ incarnation—mysteries preserved in esoteric Jewish traditions, lost gospels, and mystery-school teachings that few ever hear about. Drawing from pre-Christian sources such as the Book of Enoch, early Essene beliefs, and secret gospel traditions, this discussion reveals why Jesus identified himself as the “Son of Man,” not as a metaphor, but as an ancient spiritual office held long before his lifetime. You’ll discover: - Why the Son of Man was a recognized divine role tied to Enoch - How Jesus’ mission included confronting fallen angels, Nephilim, and Watchers - The deeper meaning behind Jesus’ statement: “For judgment I am come” - Why mystery teachings were intentionally hidden from the masses - How lost and secret gospels preserved teachings for advanced initiates - What traditional Christianity left unexplained and why it matters now This episode invites spiritual seekers to reconsider Jesus not merely as a figure of worship, but as an Avatar, initiate, and divine teacher of cosmic law, whose life was part of a far greater spiritual drama involving humanity’s evolution, judgment of the fallen, and the restoration of divine order. If you’ve ever felt that something essential was missing from the story of Jesus, this conversation may help fill in the gaps. This is not religion, it is spiritual remembrance.

    S5E8 - What Jesus Taught Before the Gospels Were Altered

    What if the teachings of Jesus were far deeper—and far more radical—than what appears in the modern Bible? In this episode, we explore what Jesus really taught before the Gospels were altered, edited, or suppressed by early church authorities. Drawing on early Christian writings, lost and secret gospels, and the teachings of the Ascended Masters, this discussion uncovers a hidden spiritual tradition that points to inner awakening, divine knowledge (gnosis), and humanity’s true spiritual potential. You’ll discover why only four Gospels were chosen for the New Testament, what was excluded from scripture, and how ancient sources like the Gospel of Thomas and the secret Gospel of Matthew preserve teachings that were once considered too powerful—or too dangerous—for the established church. We also examine historical evidence, early church decisions, and the role of figures such as Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who revealed profound insights into Jesus’ original doctrine through progressive revelation. This episode invites you to look beyond religious dogma and explore Jesus not only as a figure of worship, but as a master teacher of wisdom whose true message was meant to be lived, realized, and embodied. If you’ve ever felt that something essential was missing from the Gospels, this conversation may help illuminate what was lost—and why it matters now more than ever.

    S5E9 - Was Jesus an Essene? The Hidden Spiritual Lineage Behind His Teachings

    Was Jesus merely a teacher who appeared suddenly in the Gospels—or was he part of an ancient spiritual lineage that prepared the way for his mission long before his public ministry began? In this episode, we explore compelling historical, spiritual, and esoteric evidence suggesting that Jesus was deeply connected to the Essenes and the Nazarenes, sacred communities whose teachings predated Christianity itself. Drawing from the Dead Sea Scrolls, early historical records, and mystical traditions preserved outside orthodox theology, this discussion reveals a hidden spiritual world that shaped the consciousness, training, and initiations of Jesus. You’ll discover why the title “Jesus the Nazarene” may refer not to a village, but to an ancient spiritual order… how the Teacher of Righteousness may have prepared the way for Christ… and why the Essenes’ knowledge of angels, divine law, and spiritual initiation changes how we understand Jesus’ teachings today. This episode is for spiritual seekers, mystics, historians, and truth-seekers who sense that the story of Jesus goes far deeper than religion alone—and that his life was part of a much larger divine plan unfolding across centuries. Topics explored include: - The Essenes and their secret spiritual teachings - The true meaning of “Nazarene” - The Dead Sea Scrolls and pre-Christian wisdom - Angels, fallen angels, and ancient initiation paths - Jesus’ spiritual preparation before his public ministry - Why these teachings were hidden—and why they’re resurfacing now If you feel called to understand who Jesus really was, beyond dogma and doctrine, this episode opens a doorway into the deeper spiritual mysteries of his life and teachings.
