Keep in mind

It is not a sin to question tradition. It is a sin to be afraid to.

(Bill Donahue)

              IT AIN'T NECESSARILY SO             

The things that we have always accepted as doctrine and have incorporated into our way of life as tradition may in fact mean something quite different then we have been led to believe.

Take a look at some of these things that have become traditions to us and see where we may have actually overlooked a healing truth by taking these things literally at the insistence of our religious teachers.

See what you think.

FOLLOWING BIBLICAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before we get into the subject at hand, we must set some ground rules.

We will not make up our own procedures for determining Biblical truth.

We will follow the instructions given by the Bible itself and go from there.

We are going to suggest that the things written in the Bible never happened. In order to do that we must follow not only Biblical instructions, but archeological data ,as well as scientific evidence.

Once we do that we should be in a reasonably strong position to move forward with our work.

HOW DOES THE BIBLE ITSELF INSTRUCT US IN EVALUATING ITS TEXT ?

 All of Jesus words were symbolic.

He said that he would make things clear to his disciples and we will explain that one later. But here we see as far as the text is concerned, it is symbolic.

2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter kills but the spirit gives life.

Hardly a comment has to be made.

 In other words what you read as events never happened. Yet in understanding you will find that they happen daily within you.

WHAT IS A JEW ?

Romans 2:29 He is not  a Jew which is one outwardly, but he is a Jew which is one inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter.

This one is most difficult but as you can see the Bible itself is defining the word Jew.

Not a flesh and blood person of lineage but something very special that exists within each and every human mind.

PARABLES = DARK SAYINGS

Psalms 78:21 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known and our fathers have told us.

We have two key words here, parable and dark.

 Both reference symbolic text.

 In other words the Bible is telling us that you must begin to understand not with the brain but with the heart or the spirit.

Dark sayings of old are simply words that have Hidden Meanings.

And consider this.

The text was written thousands of years ago and they are talking about dark sayings "of old".

Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb and the interpretation, the words of the wise and their dark sayings.

This scripture leads off by defining the word "wisdom". Then as it shows above, wisdom is understanding symbolic writings.

Again a reference to dark sayings, which means text containing Hidden Meanings.

Matthew 13:34-35 All these things spoke Jesus to the multitude in parables and without a parable he didn't speak to them.

The ritual of circumcision is explained as having nothing to do with the male organ as we will also show Baptism has nothing to do with water.

It is all symbolic.

2 Corinthians 3:15 But even unto this day when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when they shall turn to the Lord the vail shall be taken away.

The Bible here clearly says that when people read the Old Testament they do not understand it because they read it literally, and it is symbolic.

 But when one turns to the Lord it becomes clear. One turns to the Lord only in meditation when one turns away from the intellect to the spirit on the right side.

 We will speak more of this, but again the Bible tells us that what you see is not what is meant.

THE SYMBOLIC TEMPLE

Acts 7:48 The most high dwells not in temples made with hands.

Here the Bible is saying that church buildings and temples have absolutely nothing to do with the dwelling place of God.

Yet for thousands of years people have been slaughtered over the location of the temple which is made with the hands of carpenters and masons. It is all symbolic for the only temple made without hands is on top of your shoulders.

YOU WON'T FIND IT IN A CHURCH

Luke 17:21 The Kingdom of God is within you.

It is not in a church or a religion.

It is within you.

 Everything in the Bible is a mythological study of the human mind and body.

1 Corinthians 3:16 You are the temple of God. For the temple of God is Holy which temple you are.

This simply supports the above that what is considered the temple or tabernacle is actually the human mind and the entire Bible is a deep mystical study of the secrets of the human mind.

Galatians 4:24 Which things are an allegory for these are the two covenants.

Here we are told that the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar is an allegory.

 It is a symbolic story.

And keep in mind that the Bible in referring to this says, "which things are an allegory". It goes right along with the warning to all of us not to take scripture literally.

NOW SOME SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

We have gone through a number of scriptures that admonish us not to take the Bible literally and also to point out to us how the Bible communicates, in Parable, Proverb, Allegory and dark sayings.

But what about scientific proof relative to the Bible stories we all have been raised. on at one time or another.

THE UNIVERSITY OF TEL AVIV

 TEL AVIV ISRAEL

THE HEADLINE

USA TODAY

By Matthew Kalman USA TODAY

Quote from Professor Ze'ev Herzog of Tel Aviv University

JERUSALEM

"The many Egyptian documents known to us do not make any reference to he sojourn of the Children of israel in Egypt or the events of Exodus.

Generations of scholars tried to locate Mount Sinai and the stations of the tribes of Israel in the desert. Despite all this diligent research, not one site was identified that could correspond to the Biblical picture.

An Israeli archeologist is drawing fire for claiming that the biblical history of the Jewish people is probably fiction.

In an article last week in Ha'aretz newspaper, Ze'ev Herzog a professor at Tel Aviv University argued that the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt probably never happened, the Ten Commandments were not given on Mt Sinai and Joshua never conquered the land of Israel.

Herzog says there is no evidence that Joshua led the children of Israel into the Holy Land or brought down the walls of Jericho.

Repeated excavations by various expeditions have only yielded disappointments he says.

During the period when the conquest would have taken place, there were no cities there and of course no walls to bring down.

Herzog has been criticized by religious leaders and is surprised at the criticism.

I dont think it is right to guess at motives based on the results of scientific inquiry he says. Archaeology has always been used in this society and used to point in one direction, (to prove the Bible), now I'm suggesting that perhaps it should be used to point in another direction.

WHAT HAVE WE JUST SEEN ?

We have just seen evidence from the Bible and from scientists at a university in Israel, both clearly stating that the Bible is mythological in nature, it is symbolic , and the events portrayed actually never happened.

The exciting conclusion to that train of thought is this. If the stories in the Bible did not happen, then what do they really mean ?.

 Who wrote them, and why ?

That is where we go now.

RELIGION

 I think we have all seen and experienced enough of religion to be totally disillusioned with it.

 What it has contributed to the societies of the world, is war and violence, hate for one another, degrading  of women, abuse of children and a total misunderstanding of the true nature of life and of ourselves as people of light.

We fight and kill each other over stories that never happened but were written to convey a hidden truth that because of religion the world has totally missed.

We have found that the Bible itself tells us that  it does not mean what it says, and we also shared with you a newspaper article from Tel Aviv University in Israel saying that after hundreds and hundreds of years of deep investigation, they have reached the conclusion that the things stated in the Bible never happened.

Of course we find the same thing in the New Testament.

There is absolutely no evidence out side of the Bible for the existence of Jesus or Joseph or Mary or just about anyone.

 There is no record of the miracles, there is no record of the crucifixion, there is no record of people getting out of graves or anything else.

 But there is a record of the Bible itself telling us not to take any of this literally.  There is record of the Bible itself telling us that all of this stuff, is parable, proverb, allegory and dark sayings.

2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter kills but the spirit gives life.

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew which is one inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit , not in the letter.

 2 Corinthians 3:15 But even unto this day when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart  Nevertheless when they shall turn to the Lord the veil shall be taken away.

The Bible itself telling us that these things are not literal.

They did not happen. They are mythological.

They are symbolic of something else.

 When people read this ,their eyes are blinded .

The truth is hidden and the only way one may understand what is meant by the scriptures is by turning to the Lord.

 That means shutting down the human intellect and turning on the celestial spirit which is within. The only way to do that is in meditation.

The Book of Genesis

The book of Genesis is the book of Genes.

It is the book of Genetics.

 It is the origin of things, the origin of life. You even see that word gene as part of Genesis.

ADAM AND EVE

You are about to see a first.

An artist rendering of a picture of Adam also known as Atom.

The scripture says God took a rib from Adam and made Eve.

What this means is an ionic bond took place.

 An electron was removed from Atom making Atom a positive ion. It was placed in another Atom making that Atom a negative ion called Eve.

There you have positive negative, yin yang, male female, Adam and Eve.

All life thus began with the splitting of the Atom/Adam

THE DESERT TRIBES ASSEMBLE

The Bible positions the tribes in the desert with the four leading tribes up front and the other eight camped behind them.

 Since it did not actually happen, what does it mean?

Numbers 2:2 Every man shall pitch by his own standard with the ensign of their fathers house. Far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.

 There are two things important here.

There is a reference to the tabernacle and and a statement that every person shall camp about the tabernacle with the ensign of their fathers house.

So you see right away we are looking at something totally different then what appeared initially.

 Initially we see a group of tribes lining up in the desert.

 Now we do not see that because we know it never happened.

Thus we look at something else.

 Notice that the encampment is around the tabernacle. The tabernacle is the dwelling place of God. It is the temple and the encampment is around the tabernacle , the dwelling place of God in the center.

 Acts 7:48 The most high dwells not in temples made with hands.

Put that  together with Jesus statement that the Kingdom of God is within you .

 Luke 17:21 The Kingdom of God is within you.

 You begin to see what Numbers 2:2 is referring to when it has the tribes positioned around the tabernacle.

 The dwelling place of God which is the center of your existence.

 Look again

Numbers 2:2 Every person by his own standard with the ensign (sign) of his fathers house.

 In as much as this did not happen and we are looking at a hidden meaning , what would be something that is inside of you, inside of your mind, inside of your being that is referred to as your sign.

 Well if we are following the instructions of the Bible that this is not literal, and if we are following the direction of the archeologist of the University of Tel Aviv that this never happened then we are to consider that the sign being referred to that each person must follow is your astrological sign.

 There simply is no other sign.

 In addition we are to understand that we are camping or positioning ourselves at the place where God dwells. Inside of us, in the realm of the mind.

Consciousness, the temple, the tabernacle.

 THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE MIND

So two things jump out at us for guidance, this is all consciousness and there is a Biblical indication here relative to an interior sign or astrological sign.

Now we get back to the point that we were making relative to Romans 2:29  namely a Jew is not a human being physically, but a Jew is one inwardly.

It is a matter of consciousness and it brings us right back to the encampment we now realize is consciousness.

 Numbers 2:3 On the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the camp of Judah pitch.

Judah is the origin of the word Jew. Notice where they camp. On the east side toward the rising of the sun.

 As a point of reference , consider that when you look North, East is always on the right  side.

 So then a Jew as described in Romans 2:29 is one inwardly who camps at the right side.

 A Jew would be a person who meditates bringing him or herself to the right hemisphere of the brain.

LIGHT IS ON THE RIGHT

So the spiritual side or the side of light is the right side. How do we know that ?

KJV 2 Kings 8:19      Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him always a light.

 So here we see that Judah was saved for David because God promised to give David light. Judah thus is the tribe of light, and it is the tribe of light that is positioned at  the East or the right side.

 Now we can see how a Jew is one inwardly.

 It is the one who in meditation waits at the East or right hemisphere of the brain at the tabernacle or dwelling place of God. The temple made not with hands.

     PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL, EMOTIONAL

There are three other positions besides East in the human psyche.

There is the physical, there is the emotional, and there is the intellectual.

 Since the East or right side is the spiritual, the physical would be the south or body, the intellectual would be the west or left side, the emotional would be the North or upper .

So let’s see.

 First of all since none of this happened historically it then must have a very profound meaning for us.

 TWELVE CRANIAL NERVES

The twelve tribes are actually the 12 cranial nerves of the human brain. They surround the tabernacle or the temple which is the center.

 This is exciting because we now realize that the Bible is not talking about something on the desert but something that is alive and within us.

There are no 12 tribes but there are 12 cranial nerves.

THE TWELVE TRIBES

These are the 12 cranial nerves .

Olfactory, Optic, Motor Oculi, Trochlear, Trifacial, Abducent, Facial, Auditory, Glosso pharyngeal, Pnumogastric or Vagus, Spinal  accessory, Hypoglossal.

 All of the cranial nerves are connected to some part of the surface of the brain.

 And so since we have  concluded that the things in the Bible never happened, we realize that the positioning of the 12 tribes around the tabernacle is actually the positioning of the 12 cranial nerves around the brain.

 So what do we have ? 

Do we have 12 tribes. No.

Do we have 12 cranial nerves , yes.

And they are connected to the brain which is the center or the light.

 Now we can understand what the 12 disciples of Jesus mean.

JESUS THE SUN GOD

Jesus whose name in  Greek has a numerical value of 888 means the mythical Sun.

 The 12 disciples are thus the 12 cranial nerves around the brain center.

The 12 constellations around the sun, the 12 signs of the Zodiac.

 Why that is important is because the Biblical myth positions the 12 tribes around the tabernacle which is the temple. 

The tabernacle is in the center.

 Well we also know from the Bible that God dwells not in buildings made with hands, which means that the temple God dwells in which is the only temple not made with hands is the human temple, the human brain.

Acts 7:48

The most high dwells not in temples made with hands.

1 Corinthians 3:16 You are the temple of God. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

So if God does not dwell in a temple made with hands, he could not be dwelling in the tabernacle or temple made with hands in the desert.

This is thus not talking about a building  but the human brain as the scripture makes perfectly clear.

 The 12 cranial nerves, the 12 tribes connected to the brain, to the temple of God, connect at the Dura Mater of the brain.

 This is again very interesting because it falls into place perfectly with the scripture that describes the construction of the temple.

 I don’t want to run away from this too quickly because it forms the basis of the deep truth that religion has kept from us by interpreting this material literally.

They see 12 tribes positioned in the desert around a tabernacle or box tent of some kind.

 We are seeing the truth.

The 12 cranial nerves positioned around the center of the human brain, occupied by God.

 I mean everything that we exist in, our lives, the activities forming our cultures, the terrorism, the wars, the fear and hate is built around the failure to understand that Gods dwelling place within the human brain is to be touched by earth people which are us.

 THE TEMPLE PATTERN

Exodus 15:8 Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.

Exodus 25:9 According to all that I show you after the pattern of the tabernacle.

 Which means that there will be a pattern given of the temple that God dwells in for real. Because as we saw in Acts 7:48 God does not dwell in a temple made with hands.

 So now we see that there will be a pattern given of the temple that God dwells in and we see that in

Exodus 26:33

And you shall hand up the veil under the taches and the veil shall divide between the holy place and the most holy.

 And so the temple or dwelling place of God had an outer holy place, the inner holy of holies, and the two were separated by a veil or curtain.

 That was a pattern of the actual place where God dwells.

 So now we will go and look at the human brain and see if there is a connection to that pattern of an outer, and inner and a vail separating the two.

THE HUMAN BRAIN TEMPLE

From Stedmans Medical dictionary.

 We are looking at a description of the construction of the human brain.

 The outermost layer, the dura mater (hard mother) is a tough covering that anchors the brain.

Ok so there we have the outer holy place.

 The innermost layer, pia mater, tender mother, is a thin delicate membrane that inspired some early neuroanatomists with a poetical bent to compare the way this membrane envelops the brain to the gentleness of a mother caressing her infant.

 Does that begin to make sense to you as to who the virgin mother truly is.

 But anyway as the Bible gives us a pattern of the temple with an outer and an inner, we have an outer and an inner of the brain. Now all we need is the veil or curtain.

 Between the outer dura mater (the outer holy place) and the inner pia mater lies a reticulated layer of tissue the arachnoids whose appearance reminded one of a spiders web.

 Arachnoid, the web, curtain, veil.

 So we have the Bible telling us that a pattern would be given concerning Gods dwelling place, we have the Bible telling us that god does not dwell in a building made with hands, and we have the temple pattern in Exodus duplicating the construction of the human brain which contains a temple and is not made with human hands.

NOAH'S ARK

To understand Noah's Ark one must understand that the Old Testament became a Greek document in 300 BC and this story has a direct connection to Greek mythology.

In Greek there are 5 levels of consciousness represented by various natural elements.

1st stage lowest is   EARTH

2nd stage higher is  WATER also a symbol of truth

3rd stage separation from thoughts it AIR

4th stage encounter with higher realms of spirit is Fire

5th stage is the RENEWED MIND

In the story of the flood , what is being referred to is the second stage of consciousness achieved in meditation which is water.

  The entire story of Noah's ark is the story of meditation.

Actually the Noah's Ark story is another form of Baptism.

The earth or head is taken into the water which is truth, and then in meditation rises into the Air or the mountain top which is separation from thought, where it is then touched by the spirit or fire and the result is the renewed mind.

Here Noah takes seven people which is the reference to the 7 chakras or resistance points of the spine.

Two of every animal is the male female or positive negative energy which reveals itself as thought.

 The water or truth then carries us to the highest level of consciousness which is the mountain top where we step out onto a new mind with the troubles below us covered by the water or truth.

Noah's Ark is actually something that happens within the mind.

 The Ark is actually the ARC which is the electrical charge within the brain which effects the physical change.

BAPTISM

To understand Baptism one must understand that the Old Testament became a Greek document in 300 BC and this story has a direct connection to Greek mythology.

In Greek there are 5 levels of consciousness represented by various natural elements.

1st stage lowest is   EARTH

2nd stage higher is  WATER also a symbol of truth

3rd stage separation from thoughts it AIR

4th stage encounter with higher realms of spirit is Fire

5th stage is the RENEWED MIND

By taking the Bible literally people have for years dipped their heads in water to achieve a spiritual communion with God.

In reality Baptism is meditation.

Actually Baptism is taking ones head or mind into a higher level via meditation.

 That level is called water.

One then rises to an even higher level of consciousness which is called Air.

 One is then touched by the spirit or fire and the result is the new mind.

People do not go into the meditation process to be Baptized, but by taking this literally they put their head in water, come up into the air and then decide that they have been touched by the spirit

 Real water cannot do this.

However by understanding the meditative implications, and rising in consciousness, the actual Baptism takes place.

RISING TO MEET JESUS IN THE AIR

To understand meeting Jesus in the air, one must understand that the New Testament is a Greek document and this story has a direct connection to Greek mythology.

In Greek there are 5 levels of consciousness represented by various natural elements.

1st stage lowest is   EARTH

2nd stage higher is  WATER also a symbol of truth

3rd stage separation from thoughts it AIR

4th stage encounter with higher realms of spirit is Fire

5th stage is the RENEWED MIND

The Bible says we will rise to meet Jesus in the Air.

This is a meditative process which takes place in meditation when ones consciousness is raised from the lowest mind, Earth, to the next level which is water and then into the third level which is Air or separation from thoughts.

When we separate from the thoughts of the mind in meditation, we are rising to meet Jesus in the air.

    THE STORY OF

ABRAHAM AND SARAH

This is a great story of a man who has sex with his maid, gets her pregnant and they have a son.

 Then he has sex with his wife who is barren and 90 years old and lo and behold he gets her pregnant and has another son.

In this story Abraham is you and me.

 His maid is Hagar who represents the left side or intellectual side of the brain.

The son born is Ishmael who represents the left or the physical side, whose 12 sons represent the physical control over the 12 cranial nerves.

 Representative of good and bad.

Sarah represents the right or spiritual side of the mind brain.

Her womb is barren as all of the wombs of children of promise are barren. They represent the right side of the mind brain. The son born of the right side or Sarah is Isaac the child of promise.

Isaac marries Rebekah whose womb is barren.

She represents the right side or virgin womb and gives birth to Jacob .

 Jacob has 11 sons and 1 daughter. They represent the spiritual control of the 12 cranial nerves. The daughter is Dinah the virgin or Virgo.

Jacob is involved in a spiritual wrestling match.

 This is the struggle that goes on within us in our meditation to finally touch the higher or God light.

 Jacob prevails when he separates from physical desire which is symbolized by his thigh being put out.

Jacob then becomes Israel.

 IS Isis female -- RA Ra male--  El Elohim God.

The full power of God , male and female in the supreme light.

Jacob then calls the place where this all happened, Peniel.

 This is the single eye or Pineal Gland of the brain. The light receptor of the body . Jacob declares the place Peniel in Genesis 32:20

Thus the entire story of Abraham and Sarah is the story of our meditation and the resultant brain mind activity that provides us with the child of promise and takes us to the promised land of the right side.

THE TEMPLE

In the Book of Exodus God provides a pattern to Moses for the construction of the temple.

The Bible tells us that the most high lives not in temples made with hands.

Thus we must find a temple not made by someone. A temple not made by carpenters and masons and electricians.

The only temple is the one on your shoulders. Your head.

In Exodus the instructions are to make an outer holy place, an inner holy of holies and to separate the two by a veil or curtain.

The human brain has an outer covering called dura mater, hard mother. An inner most sensitive place called pia mater, tender mother.

Dura Mater and Pia Mater are separated by arachnoid, the web or veil or curtain.

Thus we see that the Biblical temple is actually the brain mind. And also we now see the virgin mother, the mother of God, Pia Mater. All within us.

JOSHUA AND JERICHO

We have all heard the story and most of us have sung the song.

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down.

 Well of course this is also mythology and the proof of that is Jericho's walls are still standing.

But what does the story mean.

Jericho is the city and represents the right hemisphere of the brain mind.

There is a wall separating you from that city.

The only way to get past that wall is go march around 7 times.

 Remember that's what Joshua had to do. March around 7 times.

The 7 is speaking of the chakras or nerve centers of the spine.

 In our meditation as we rise through the 7 we finally ignite the pineal gland of the brain (which in this story is the shout), and the wall comes down and we enter into the city or the right hemisphere  the place of light.

That was Joshua's instructions.

March around 7 times and shout.

 That is also your instructions.

In meditation allow the energy to rise up the 7 nerve centers of the spine and when that occurs the pineal will light (that's the shout) and the wall separating you from the supreme light falls.
