Any considerations beyond this are based within ego, which is contrary to initiation practices
It is very literally impossible to be an initiate, if you think in terms such as gender, race, or other nominum illusory designations
It took me most of a day to rebalance my mind after reading the Kybalion
It is an absolute mess

Why use any historical text at all if they are not only a mess of a lack of understanding, per you, but also written only by men with skewed thoughts and rules?

Where do we go now for unbiased illumination, or are you confident you can pull apart from all historical sources to find the right path?
Well caught there. My apologies ...
I should have worded that as "IT SEEMS TO ME to be a mess, based on what I understand from my own experiences"
Rather than speak in the definitive term, "It is a ..."
Definitive terms limit possibility
One should always be as equally open to being wrong, as they are right
I also should not have said something "impossible"
Merely, highly unlikely
In my defence, it was late and I was writing rushed responses on my phone
To your question
My understanding is a common answer needs be pulled apart from all historical sources, as you so well put it
In the version of initiation I went through, we are made to study the traditions of the Sumerian, Norse, Egyptian, Greeks, Romans and many others (incidentally)
Within which, the purpose is to align a common meaning within all their teachings
A common meaning that then needs to fit within biology and physics, geometry and mathematics
If you find something which correlates across 2 or more distinct historical sources, you are on the right path
If it does not quite work, you look deeper and simplify the concept to its fundamentals. Then if it works for my sources, work back up from this to see how the specific sources varied
When you find 2 or more sources, that also align with concepts we understand today, then there is very high probability that you are correct
Or at least, "more correct" then other interpretations based on single sources, which correlates to very little except themselves
A good example of this, is the concept discussed within this thread with the primary sphere of 1st, 2nd and 3rd dimension, relating to INTERNAL, EXTERNAL and DIRECTION, within the structure of not only the individual conscious and perception, but also within the forming of all levels of internal biological and external geometric torus, spheres or cells
Whether it be the smallest cell, or the largest galaxy
Which also then aligns seamlessly with the Biblical understanding
Father - External
Son - Internal
Holy Spirit - The direction which comes "between"
This concept also aligns within the various "Trinitys" of many cultures
FREEMASONS
Entered Initiate – Primary (Internal)
Fellowcraft – Secondary (External)
Master Mason – Gateway (Directional)
CATHOLIC
Father – Primary – Thought (External)
Son – Secondary – Emotion (Internal)
Holy Spirit – Gateway – Spirit (Directional)
ROSICRUSCIAN
Head – Thought
Heart – Emotion
Hara (Gut) – Action
DAO
Qi – Mind
Shen – Heart
Jing – Body
TCM
Upper Dantian
Middle Dantian
Lower Dantian
BUDDHIST

SUFI

PHYSICS – ELEMENTS
Gas – Sky
Liquid – Sea
Solid – Earth
ASTRONOMY
Earth – Brain / The Complex
Venus – Veins / The Flow
Mars – Muscle / The Flesh
EGYPTIAN
Akh – Arch
Ba – Bear
Ka – Carry
ILLUMINATED
(Un) The Eye – Mind / Sun / Sky
(To) The Waters – Heart / Moon / Sea
(The) The Hand – Body / Solar System / Earth
Then there is
Genesis - Internal (Biology)
Exodus - External (Geometry)
Leviticus - "The leavening" (Vectoring / Direction)
Which are followed by
Numbers - Primary Sequence
Deuteronomy - Letters / Secondary Sequence
It is not by coincidence that these 5 books are named "The Torah"
It refers to the geometric Torus
Horus is the external, light
Set is the internal, darkness
When you simply these types of considerations down to internal, external and direction, they all fit perfectly
Some versions are more specific than others, such as the 3 spheres of the "trimanifested" self listed above
But they are all based on the same underlaying structure
This is how all things within the mysteries need be considered
The most important information ever passed down through history by the various cultures, were not the exploits of particular people of their time
Rather, they were the personification of important conceptual understanding about creation and the structure of the physical world
The beauty of considering and aligning things in such a way, is that it cannot be disputed
Considerations, for example, such as whether or not Jesus Christ actually existed become irrelevant to the deeper intended meaning behind his allegories
His story aligns with that of Kore and Demeter, because it teaches the same principles
Historical accuracy becomes little more than the manifestion of cyclically probability
As with our tradition teaching that the original intended meaning of the word "Christ" is "Cycle"
If you analyse the stories of "Christ" translating it as "Cycle" it works perfectly
"Cycles" are crucified (crossed) to pass away, then rise again
It is why so many believe the "anti-cycle" (Antichrist) needs to come, before the cycle (Christ) can return
It is why so many await the cycles (Christ's) return. Because that is what cycles do. They leave and return
Every single consideration and story for the word "Christ", works perfectly if you translate it as "Cycle"
Which means, there is a very high probability that this is what the word originally meant
So "belief" cannot interfere with understanding of deeper meaning
And the deeper meaning does not interfere with personal belief
When you unlock "key" words in the Bible, the most common verses take on a very different meaning
Without being in any way contrary to what people believe they mean
This is why modern religions are terrified of the coming universal religion
Because it does not conflict with their beliefs. It merely supercedes the root of their understanding
And to many, the possibilities within such are terrifying
There is, in essence a whole new understanding being given to many people around the world, for what amounts to a whole new book
But the roots of such will the same as they ever have been
For me, it seems much easier to correct certain understandings within existing texts that I am able to, based on what I understand, and offer deeper more detailed processes where possible
To possibly help those already invested in such texts
