Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

by 15 Comments

Jesus Rides a Donkey into JerusalemAbstract concepts are almost valueless unless we can nail them down practically in our own daily life.

The story of Jesus entering Jerusalem, riding on a donkey and her foal simultaneously, is truly one of those great biblical conundrums: how this double riding feat is achieved, while also considering: Mark 10-32 “Jesus and his disciples were now on the road going up to Jerusalem”.

As we set out examining this amazing parable esoterically, I’m hoping that it becomes obvious that the author of this scripture is not describing or reporting on a physical, historical or a geographical event. [Read more…] about Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

What do Genesis, Lemuria, and Atlantis Have in Common?

by 16 Comments

AtlantisScour the internet, and you will find all kinds of strange ideas about long lost continents that were once inhabited by root races of humans. The most widely known are Lemuria and Atlantis, both with flourishing civilizations long lost to the annals of history, except in circles of Theosophy and conspiracy theorists who claim to hold the truth to humanity’s origins. Ancient Egyptian mythology and Plato’s works originally fueled such ideas for thousands of years, and more recently, even Edgar Cayce, one of the most famed psychics of 20th century, provided detailed accounts of what these civilizations were like.

The Other Son

by 45 Comments

dark and lightThe parable of the prodigal son is probably the most well-known parable of all and it is clear that the story is about the life journey of Man. It is all about us and our journey through life. Depending on the teaching of the different churches the emphasis may be put on different aspects of the story, on the sinfulness of man or on the love of God. However, the story is almost always told as an interpretation of the life of the son who undertakes the journey, the bad son. Not much is said about the other son, the son who stays home with the Father and faithfully attends to his tasks. He is supposed to be the good son who should be an example to us all. But is he? I would like to look at this parable from a different viewpoint and see what I come up with about both sons.

In my article The Tree of Judgement? I wrote about a comparable journey in which I started with a summary in order to make clear what the deeper meaning of this journey is. It is a journey into duality, which is symbolized by the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but also by the story of the prodigal son. That is why I want to start this article with quoting this summary in its entirety, so it is clear what the process it is all about.

“I found the meaning of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil to be the tree of duality, ets-2, in Hebrew.

Eating from that tree caused the descent of Man into the world of duality and matter, also called the fourth world or the world of the seventh day. Eve, the female, nourishing and creative side of Man, was enticed into eating from it by the serpent, the nachash, numerical value 358, which proved to be the downward force in Man during the descending part of the involution / evolution cycle. This is a cycle, which you could see as a circle that is divided into three segments:

The first segment is the descent out of a world of higher consciousness as described above; this is called involution.

The second segment, described in the next paragraph, is the period that mankind resides in the world of matter.

The third segment, called evolution, is about ascension, going upwards in consciousness again, as described in the third paragraph of this description. 

When man had almost reached the bottom of the cycle, the downward force got the upper hand and turned into par’oh (pharaoh), and man became enslaved / addicted. After a call for help to God and a promise to address this addiction themselves later on, man was delivered from this slavery by God and the nachash got its head / its downward principle, crushed, which made it fall asleep. It was then called the Kundalini that slept in 3½ coils at the halfway point of the cycle.

Abraham’s Vision of Great Darkness: Kundalini, Meditation and Ego

by 38 Comments

Meditating in DarknessIn Genesis chapter fifteen we read about a strange event that occurs between God and Abraham. The mythological imagery stirs the imagination: God appears in great darkness, followed by a smoking furnace and a burning lamp that passes between Abraham’s sacrifice. The true meaning of the symbolism will never be preached from a traditional church pulpit because it deals with the divine physiology of man, and the implications of deep meditation, the ego, and spiritual initiation. So let’s break down this mystical mystery. [Read more…] about Abraham’s Vision of Great Darkness: Kundalini, Meditation and Ego

The Serpent and the Cherubim

garden of edenIn his articles Genesis Chapter 3: The Allegory of the Serpent Ego and Transforming the Serpent Ego Joshua writes again about the meaning of the serpent. He had already done so quite a few times before and also I myself addressed the subject more than once, both in articles and in comments. That shows how important this subject is. Putting all the presented interpretations together, they show the serpent as both negative and positive, [Read more…] about The Serpent and the Cherubim

The Lord’s Supper and Psalm 23 Translation

by 7 Comments

lords supperAs beautiful as the Lord’s Supper ritual is, apart from a few ceremonial words and bowing of heads at Mass, there isn’t a non-ceremonial equivalent of this life-changing event at the everyday practical level. The application of Psalm 23, I feel, is the nearest opportunity to participate in something as a means of growing Christ dynamism, cosmic understanding, and greater spiritual abundance in our daily lives, from work or home.

Psalm 23 translation follows later in this article.

Mainly referred to as the Last Supper, this most solemn event in most formal religions is about receiving the blessed Eucharist, thereby celebrating Christ-empowerment, which I totally respect. But, for the purpose of this article, the latter title of the Lord’s Supper is the one being referred to. [Read more…] about The Lord’s Supper and Psalm 23 Translation

Keep this scripture in mind as we weave our way through this article. We shall return to it later.

For centuries, like beavers, man has been building dams, blocking his or her divine nature. Consequently, so many people in the world today are living their soul-potential unconsciously, as conscious ignorance or inverted bliss. [Read more…] about Clearing The Way to Christ-Consciousness

The Tree of Judgement?

by 21 Comments

mystical tree, good and evilOne of the themes in the Bible that has always fascinated mankind is that of the Garden of Eden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, with the serpent lying on one of its branches.

During the period of October 2013 – January 2014, I wrote a series of articles for SOS, mostly about the esoteric interpretation of Bible texts, based on Hebrew numerology. In at least five of these articles this theme of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the serpent was examined, each following article building on the findings of the previous ones.

Jacob, Leah, Higher Consciousness, DMT, and the Pineal Gland

by 45 Comments

Third eye consciousness awakeningA few years back I wrote a post about Jacob meeting God at Peniel. Jacob called the place of meeting Peniel because the Hebrew term means “face of God.” In that post we also discussed that Peniel, although a different spelling, can be associated with the pineal gland in the center of the brain. Jacob met God face to face at Peniel because the text is alluding to the mystical experience of activating the pineal gland through kundalini. The pineal gland is sensitive to this subtle yet powerful energy that science cannot yet measure. [Read more…] about Jacob, Leah, Higher Consciousness, DMT, and the Pineal Gland

ciphers names of godCiphers and Cryptography: A Very Brief Foundation

The use of ciphers and subtle allusions in mysticism, philosophy, literature and religion, though generally ignored or unknown in modernity (by and large), are indeed well-established practices (such as the three literary practices in Qabalah, all of which involve some form of cryptography: transpositioning; substitution; skip-codes; re-arrangements of text into columns, as with the 72 Names of God; interpretation as number; etc).

“Ciphers are hidden in the most subtle manner: they may be concealed in the watermark of the paper upon which a book is printed…bound into the covers of ancient books…hidden under imperfect pagination; they may be extracted from the first letters of words or the first words of sentences; they may be artfully concealed in mathematical equations or in apparently unintelligible characters…they may be word ciphers, letter ciphers…they may be discovered in the elaborately illuminated initial letters of early books or they may be revealed by a process of counting words or letters.” – Manly Palmer Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, p. 491.

Hidden Symbols and Patterns in the Bible: Part One

by 46 Comments

Sacred SymbolsIn a comment on one of Joshua’s posts, Brian wrote something that gave me sudden insight into what is probably the most important symbol used in the Bible. It is a symbol that is hidden in plain sight: the Hebrew alphabet itself. He wrote:

“As a form of symbolic cipher, language can be amazingly efficient. In English, 26 letters combined into a few thousand words plus a few grammatical rules allow us to share a virtual infinity of ideas and subjective experiences. Unfortunately, the coding/decoding algorithms in language are yet to become as precise as in mathematics.” [Read more…] about Hidden Symbols and Patterns in the Bible: Part One
