The vital current of Christ, said to lie dormant in the flesh until it is awakened, ignited, and readied for ascent.
In the teaching preserved by the Alpha Ωmega Free Church, "God-Force" names something more specific than piety or feeling. It is held to be an actual vital energy — the Holy Spirit as a living current rather than an abstraction — capable of being stirred, strengthened, and directed within the body through rite.
The lineage traces this teaching to Alexandria, the meeting point of Hellenistic, Egyptian, and Jewish thought in the centuries around Christ. There, the tradition holds, Pythagorean and Hermetic masters preserved a current of practice alongside the public preaching of the new faith: a private curriculum for an inner circle, distinct from what was taught to the crowds.
That distinction — a public teaching for the many, a working teaching for the few — is the hinge the rest of this page turns on.
John the Baptist spoke of one who would come baptizing "with the Holy Spirit and with fire" (Matthew 3:11) — a promise beyond the water rite alone. The Alpha Ωmega lineage holds that this pointed to three distinct baptisms, given by Christ privately to his inner circle.
Where the public baptism of John marks repentance, the teaching holds that the first secret rite does something more: it awakens a spark of the God-Force already latent within the initiate, making it perceptible for the first time.
The second rite is said to fully ignite the God-Force stirred by the first, strengthening the initiate's conscious connection to it — the difference, in the tradition's own language, between a spark and a flame.
The third and final rite prepares the initiate to ascend, at the hour of death, into what Christ is said to have called the Treasuries of Light — the fuller teaching on which is kept on its own page, linked below.
Masters of the Alexandrian mystery schools are said to have encoded the inner teaching within the symbols and rites of the young Christian faith, where it could pass unremarked.
Practice varied widely from region to region — the tradition points to this diversity as evidence of many independent transmissions from the apostles, each shaped by local teaching.
Constantine's council fixed which teachings and rites would form the official canon. What did not fit was declared heretical — including, this lineage holds, the secret baptismal rites.
The teaching is said to have survived outside official channels, carried privately by a chain of transmission down to its present-day custodians.
Readers coming from other paths will notice a family resemblance to kundalini in the yogic traditions, prāṇa in Vedic thought, or qi/chi in Chinese practice — all describe a vital current that can be stirred and directed through disciplined practice. God-Force, as this lineage presents it, is its own teaching with its own history and rites; the resemblance is worth naming honestly rather than claiming as identity.
The third baptism prepares the soul for what comes after. The fuller teaching on the Treasuries of Light — what they are said to be, and what ascent into them entails — is kept on its own page.
