WHAT DO THE BIBLE STORIES

REALLY MEAN?

HOW DOES THE BIBLE SAY

WE SHOULD READ IT ?

We have to be careful because we are

about to look at critical Bible stories and see

what message has been hidden behind the text.

Before we can do that we have to make sure

 that the Bible itself gives us permission.

Permission to look at the text not literally

but symbolically.

THE SCRIPTURES THAT SAY THE BIBLE

IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY

The Bible is very clear that its words are

symbolic and not to be taken literally. 

Galatians

4:22 says that the Old Testament story

of Abraham and Sarah is allegory.

It means something else. 

Romans 2:28

says a Jew is not one outwardly

but inwardly.

2 Corinthians 3:6

specifically warns us about

taking these words literally,

be not a minister of the letter. 

2 Corinthians 3:15

says that when people read

the Old Testament a veil is

over their heart,

meaning they do not understand

what they see,

it is hidden. 

Matthew 13:34

says Jesus never spoke but in a parable.

Everything was symbolic. 

MYTHOLOGY

Mythology is basically a story

with a hidden meaning.

It speaks of astronomy and anatomy

(our relationship to the universe).

But it does it in ways in which

characters take

on the identity of natural elements.

That is the nature of the Bible.

The Bible is mythology,

Greek mythology I might add.

JERUSALEM TEMPLE

There is a temple in Jerusalem.

The Muslims revere it as their holy site.

The Jews say that the present temple is located

right where their temple will one day rise.

It is a central point in the endless killing that

has gone on in what is called “the holy land”.

Yet, the scriptures are clear that the Lord does

not live in a house made with hands. 

The temple of Moses is constructed exactly as

the human brain with an outer place,

an inner holy place and the two separated by a veil. 

The temple where God dwells is consciousness.

It is the mind, and yet the earth tribes have

slaughtered each other for ages over this

building of wood and stone.

The letter kills.

THE CRUCIFIXION

Will common sense and reason allow us to

consider a God in the sky who is unable

to forgive without receiving a human sacrifice

and tasting blood?

Can we not for a minute reflect on the true

meaning of such a story,

which has been part of mythological texts for ages?

JESUS

Jesus is the true essence of universal light

within all being, and is the power of the universe

in creation and healing.

As such Jesus is not only a he, but a she as well,

and yes the crucifixion of Jesus

is symbolic illustrating a deep and wonderful truth.

The cross of crucifixion is your body.

You’re head is the top part of the cross.

Your shoulders the cross bar, and your

torso the lower part.

Jesus is the life essence inside of you that is

sacrificed on the cross (your body) to rise from

the lowest depths to the right hemisphere of

your brain where Christ

Consciousness appears. 

This occurs through meditation.

Jesus’ crucifixion, the mystery that earth tribes

have completely missed even

though Jesus himself  told them , it is within you.
