Joseph Part 3: Final Ascension

by 7 Comments

Eagle NebulaThis post will wrap up our series on the story of Joseph. It is the most important post of the series because these Biblical events teach us about ascension and manifesting the divine. Be sure to read Part 1 and Part 2 of this series first.

Thus far in our series we have seen how Joseph represents the sun and the Christ. We have also learned that everyone contains their own inner sun, called the Solar Plexus, where thoughts and emotions are processed and expressed. In other words, this is the house of our ego. As we raise the Holy Spirit in us from the Solar Plexus to the Crown chakra, we birth the Christ and metaphorically we can say that the son / sun rises within us, purging negative emotions and thoughts, increasing our self esteem, and strengthening our intuitive abilities. This process also balances the divine masculine and divine feminine energies within us. [Read more…] about Joseph Part 3: Final Ascension

Part 2 of Joseph’s Story: The Favored Son / Sun is Rising

by Leave a Comment

In the last post we discussed how Joseph’s life symbolized the spiritual ascension process where he eventually becomes the Old Testament version of the Christ. We have also learned how Joseph’s life is about you, not a literal Hebrew boy that got sold into Egypt as a slave. You can find that post here.

I want to open up part 2 of the life of Joseph with an important New Testament scripture:

2 Peter 1:19 states, “…whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts…” [Read more…] about Part 2 of Joseph’s Story: The Favored Son / Sun is Rising

Joseph, the Coat of Many Colors, and Egypt: The Ultimate Story of Ascension

by 10 Comments

ascensionThis post will begin a two-part series focusing on how the Biblical Joseph undertakes the spiritual journey of ascension to become the Old Testament version of the Christ. What Joseph experiences in the story mirrors our lives as we go through the darker nights of the soul to emerge victorious over the ego and experience the spiritual resurrection. It is important for you to realize that while Joseph is a type and shadow of the Christ, Joseph is also a type and shadow of that which resides in you! The kingdom is within you, and so is the Christ! [Read more…] about Joseph, the Coat of Many Colors, and Egypt: The Ultimate Story of Ascension

Jesus, Jacob, and the Eye of Horus

by 52 Comments

Eye of HorusThere are still far too many Christians in the world who are unaware of the esoteric significance of their Bible. This is because too many Christians believe the Bible was inspired—word for word— by an external deity who is totally separate from themselves and the rest of creation. Let me be clear. The Bible was inspired, but inspiration has always come from within the depths of extraordinary individuals.

Historically, these extraordinary individuals were from multiple cultures; the truths contained within the Bible do not belong solely to Jewish or Christian origins. Many Biblical truths were taught much earlier in Hindu, Buddhists, and even Egyptian scriptures and mythologies. [Read more…] about Jesus, Jacob, and the Eye of Horus

Sodom and Gomorrah: X-Rated Literature, or Esoteric Wisdom?

by 22 Comments

The Biblical destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has been the subject of much controversy. Theories about its inspiration abound. Everything from earthquakes, meteorites, and volcanoes are argued as plausible explanations. On the other end of the spectrum, fundamentalists insist that the story is a literal account.

Can we ever know the truth about this narrative?

The truth eventually becomes obvious to those seeking to understand the esoteric nature of the Bible. Sodom and Gomorrah isn’t about the divine destruction that happened to the “cities of the plain.” It’s about a divine intervention that should happen inside your head!

The Rapture of the Saints: It’s Not About Flying!

by 37 Comments

The RaptureIn the last post I discussed why baptism is really about meditation. This week’s post will continue on the subject of meditation and higher consciousness by discussing what the so called Biblical “rapture” is really about.

The rapture truly is a strange doctrine that’s been going around for hundreds of years. Millions of people believe in it. Some are so sure of it that they are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to prepare for it, even quitting their jobs and selling all their worldly possessions. What scripture would cause someone to do something so foolish if the word “rapture” isn’t even in the Bible?

The rapture doctrine actually comes from a conglomeration of many scriptures, but the main scripture is found in Thessalonians. [Read more…] about The Rapture of the Saints: It’s Not About Flying!

The True Meaning of the Ark of the Covenant

by 147 Comments

Ark of the CovenantBefore I address the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, I decided it would be more beneficial to fast forward and write a piece on the esoteric meaning of the Ark of the Covenant. Doing so will give you more knowledge on how valuable it is to raise your consciousness.

First of all it is important to realize that Moses never constructed a golden box known as the Ark, and he didn’t converse with a separate omnipotent being above the Mercy seat. Rather these components of the Exodus narrative describe something that happens in your head on the way to your own Promised Land.

The true Ark of the Covenant rests atop your shoulders. More specifically, the Ark represents your brain. Even as Jesus was crucified at Golgotha (the place of the skull), representing part of the ascension process that takes place in your head, so too does the Ark. And in order to truly commune with God, that communion must take place within the confines of your mind. [Read more…] about The True Meaning of the Ark of the Covenant

The Path to Liberation As Evidenced Through Moses, Israel, and the Exodus

by 6 Comments

Liberating the SoulWhat is the Biblical story of the Exodus and liberation of the Israelites really about? A Biblical Israelite has nothing to do with flesh and blood. An Israelite is someone who has been liberated. This article will discuss what the release of Israel truly means for humanity as Moses enters Egypt and provokes Pharaoh to liberate the people.

Forget the literal interpretation of this story for a moment.  Don’t think of Moses, the Israelites, and the Egyptians as individual people. See them as different aspects of one person. This is one of the keys to unlock this story. As you will see, we all must return to and exit Egypt to liberate ourselves. And by leaving Egypt we begin the process of integrating the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves in order to birth the true Israelite or Christ within.

Moses and the Exodus: Part Two

by 13 Comments

Today we are going to continue with Moses and the Exodus and what it really means for you and me. In our last post we left off where God had just given Moses the name, I AM THAT I AM, to present to the Israelites. An interesting scene ensues that is imbued with more esoteric wisdom that we absolutely cannot miss! This post will further investigate cosmic energy, the symbol of the serpent, the true meaning of an Israelite, and more on meditation.

More important details on the name I AM THAT AM

It is crucial for us to understand that when the name I AM was presented to Moses, the Biblical author was making a fundamental statement about the relationship between man and the universe. As you’ll see in a moment, God gives cosmic energy to Moses. [Read more…] about Moses and the Exodus: Part Two

The Gnostics and Christ in the Flesh: 2 John 1:7

by 28 Comments

Christ consciousnessToday’s short blog post will discuss a Biblical passage that is often used to crush the Gnostic’s teachings on scripture. For those of who are unfamiliar with the Gnostics, they were basically Christians who denied the bodily resurrection of Christ. Instead they believed Christ’s body was of a spiritual nature. In other words, the Gnostics argued that Jesus Christ was not raised from the dead in a literal physical body.

Mainstream Christianity considers this blasphemy. And here’s the scripture that they often use to put the final nail on the coffin of Gnosticism:

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist” (2 John 1:7)

Based on this scripture, the typical argument states that John was aiming this scripture at the Gnostics themselves since they denied Jesus was resurrected in a physical body. It must be rock solid proof, right? Hardly! [Read more…] about The Gnostics and Christ in the Flesh: 2 John 1:7

Why The Bible Should Not Be Taken Literally: It’s All About The Ego!

by 23 Comments

Funny Moses CartoonI recently had a conversation with a Christian I have respected for many years. Too make a long story short, we had a healthy disagreement about whether the Bible should be seen as literal history or not. He thought it should. All of it! Even talking snakes, a flood covering the highest mountains, and millions of Israelites wandering in the desert to get to the Promised Land. But he also agreed that the Bible’s greatest treasure was the spiritual interpretation usually hidden beneath the literal story. He finally asked me why I couldn’t see it both ways like he did.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: Manifesting the Divine

by 27 Comments

Chakra CentersThe story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is really about kundalini energy, your seven in-body chakras, and the divine mind. I think this will become clear to you by the end of this post.

The wonderful story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego was one of my Biblical childhood favorites. I was fascinated with the prospect of someone being consumed by fire but not getting hurt by it. As the story goes, these three men were casts into a blazing furnace by Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, for refusing to fall down and worship the golden statue he had built. The heat of this fiery furnace was so intense that it even killed the king’s men who tossed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego inside. And what happened to our heroes? They walked around in the inferno unscathed. What’s more, a fourth angelic figure suddenly appears in the fire with them. Nebuchadnezzar even states that the visage of this angelic figure “…is like the son of God.” [Read more…] about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: Manifesting the Divine

Samson and Delilah: The War of the Mind

by 37 Comments

Samson's Being BlindedEveryone is familiar with the story of Samson, the strongest man who ever lived. The Bible states he single-handedly killed a thousand men with a jawbone. There’s no doubt about it—he was invincible as the spirit of the Lord was upon him! But I want you to understand that this man’s life doesn’t belong to a literal character in Jewish history. It belongs to you. You are to be Samson. [Read more…] about Samson and Delilah: The War of the Mind
