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.

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

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

What Happens When We Die?

by 9 Comments

What happens at death? Is there an afterlife? Are we still aware of anything? If so, what it’s like? These are the types of questions today’s post will delve into.

A general search across the internet will reveal all kinds of interesting answers, but what does the Bible say? I will admit the subject can get confusing when studying the scriptures; there seems to be contradictory answers throughout both the Old and New Testaments. One could easily argue many different viewpoints from many different verses. That’s why I think it’s important to lay some groundwork before we discuss any one Bible verse.

When Will You Have Bread and Wine With Melchizedek?

by 6 Comments

It can be said that there are two types of people in this world:

1)      The first type of person believes that life happens to them. And so it does. By default, those who wander about aimlessly will truly experience a sort of pointless and aimless existence in the chaos of the ego. They truly may believe they are operating out of free will, but most of their life is reacting to situations that they themselves manifest from an unfocused mind.

2)      The second type of person believes that they make their own life. And so they do. Those who are focused, entertain positive thoughts, and live in harmony with their conscious and subconscious self create abundant experiences.

Where am I going with all this? Enter Melchizedek, the main topic for today. [Read more…] about When Will You Have Bread and Wine With Melchizedek?

God, Male and Female, and the “One Flesh” of Conscious Creation

by 13 Comments

A few months ago I wrote a short article about how the story of Noah and the ark was about the ascension of consciousness rather than a literal narrative. More specifically, I mentioned how the ark represents the human mind itself. You can see read about here.

Someone who recently read that article asked, “Then what do the animals represent?” I have been meaning to do a follow-up on that blog post for some time explaining exactly that, and this person’s question has finally motivated me to get it done. There is also another reason I am going to include that information in today’s blog post: I want my readers to have a better understanding of God and how God relates to themselves, and since Noah’s ark is really about the mind, and God is the clear light of consciousness which can be experienced by the mind, I thought the topic could be really good for all my blog readers.

The Yoke of Christ: Realizing the “Light” and “Easy” Burden

by 10 Comments

Consciousness. Science can’t understand it. Religion places it in a box with a bearded old man in the sky. But there is the rare soul that learns to dive into it, to awaken to it. Since we are all different experiential expressions of the one and only consciousness (i.e., God), it behooves us to explore and experience the raw consciousness that we are. Today’s post will look at a famous saying from Jesus that I believe is an invitation to do just that. [Read more…] about The Yoke of Christ: Realizing the “Light” and “Easy” Burden

by 30 Comments

This blog post will finally wrap up our conclusion of Jesus, the sun, and the Zodiac. Please read my former three blog post if you haven’t already as they will properly prepare you for this one.

We have already discussed how Jesus’ ministry is a personification of the sun’s travels through 6 of the zodiacal signs. Today we are going to finish with the other 6. Hopefully the story of Jesus will make much more sense when you are through with this last and final post of the series. [Read more…] about The Conclusion of Jesus, The Sun, and the Zodiac

Jesus, the Zodiac, and Higher Consciousness

by 22 Comments

In my last blog article I shared how Jesus is a personification of the sun. In this blog post I will show how Jesus’ life relates to the sun as it travels through the zodiac. As I have said before, my conclusion is not that the story of Christ is just another sun god myth. The story of Christ in the heavens provides us with the knowledge we need in order to understand our paths to higher consciousness. In other words, the story of Christ is meant to be our story, and if you read this blog post with an open mind I think you’ll most likely agree.

An Esoteric Interpretation of Genesis Chapter 1

by 22 Comments

We should all be aware that the ultimate answer to the mystery of the universe probably isn’t available. I seriously doubt there is a definitive answer because a definitive answer is only a concept that exists in the conscious experience of matter where all things become concrete. What if I told you that ultimate reality is devoid of concreteness and cannot be limited to a definitive answer? Wouldn’t a definitive answer just be a limitation anyway? In this post I am going to show you how Genesis chapter 1, the very first book of the Bible, opens us to the possibility of something greater than a definitive answer.

Why God Killed Achan, His Innocent Children, and His Animals

by 70 Comments

Have you ever read a story in the Bible that bothered you so bad you wanted to scream at God? I sure have. At least before I realized what most Bible lessons were all about. I will never forget reading the story of Achan’s sin in the Old Testament that is presented soon after the Battle of Jericho. I was about fourteen years old and I wasn’t the same afterwards.

by 14 Comments

Many archeologists have tried to uncover the city of Jericho with less than impressive results. The famous city has been discussed in countless commentaries and Old Testament discussions, sermons, and Bible studies. But all of these discussions are useless if the true spiritual intent of the Biblical author of Joshua isn’t understood. Today we’re going to delve into this topic and learn some really cool spiritual insights from the famous story known as the Battle of Jericho. This story reveals what we should be doing to achieve an amazing body/mind connection that the West has been slow to comprehend through the Bible for many centuries.

The Pillars of Jachin and Boaz, Kundalini, and the Shekinah

by 26 Comments

In the last blog post we discussed why Solomon’s Temple could not be literal; instead it was meant to represent the human mind. Today we are going to focus on two structures built with the temple to help you better understand what the Bible teaches about consciousness and reality. We will also discuss a little about kundalini and DNA. But most importantly, we are going to focus on what the Bible has to say about having the proper balance, both physically and spiritually, in order to manifest Christ consciousness within you.
