The Book of Life, the Strong Angel, and the Slain Lamb

by 7 Comments

SpineImagebigIn Revelations chapter four we saw where John received an invitation to “come up hither,” or enter into higher consciousness. Revelations chapter five continues to show us how this process is accomplished. There are three important symbols we must breakdown in order to see this process: the Book of Life, the Strong Angel, and the slain lamb.

Let’s begin with Revelations 5:1:

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.” [Read more…] about The Book of Life, the Strong Angel, and the Slain Lamb

A Simple Kundalini Meditation

by 18 Comments

kundalini meditationAs the title to this post suggests, I am going to give you a very simple meditation for moving kundalini. This meditation is good because it increases concentration power and helps transform potent sexual energy into spiritual energy that will help strengthen the body and mind.

But first I want to discuss a bit of background information for first time readers. If this is your first visit to Spirit of the Scripture, you may be wondering why a Bible blog is using terms like kundalini and sexual energy. [Read more…] about A Simple Kundalini Meditation

The Twenty-Four Elders, the Four Beasts, and the Throne of God

by 14 Comments

Revelations chapter four opens with an important invitation in the human conscious experience. Verse one states:

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven…”

The opening door to heaven is a metaphor for a state of higher consciousness. Jesus made it clear in Luke that the Kingdom of Heaven was within us, and heaven can only be accessed by turning inward. That verse finishes with: [Read more…] about The Twenty-Four Elders, the Four Beasts, and the Throne of God

How God and the Breath Are Linked

by 20 Comments

Breathing and GodBreathing and the breath in general is an important concept in esoteric practices. The question is why. Let’s start with the Bible scripture Genesis 2:7:

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.”

In the above scripture the “breath of life” is associated with “living soul.” Scientifically we know that man needs oxygen in order for our cells to function properly. Without oxygen human cells die. [Read more…] about How God and the Breath Are Linked

Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea: The Chakras of Our Upper Body Temple

5th ChakraIn the last post we discussed the churches of Revelations that made up our lower body temple. Now we will look at the last three churches that make up our upper body temple.

The church of Sardis relates to the throat chakra. Traditionally, this chakra has been associated with [Read more…] about Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea: The Chakras of Our Upper Body Temple

From God to Israel: Divinity of Man Revealed in the Pentateuch

by 49 Comments

God in manThere is an important truth about the divinity of man veiled in the first and last words of the first five books of the Bible. Known as the Pentateuch and the Torah, the first five books are the bedrock and foundation of scripture, so it makes sense that a powerful statement about the divinity of man would lie in this cornerstone.

What the Twelve Tribes of Israel and the Tabernacle Really Symbolize

by 58 Comments

Brain and the BibleIn our last post we established that the temples of the Bible were symbolic of the human body, not literal buildings. We also discussed that Christ is raised in our bodies. This post will continue to show how the scripture unfolds this process.

If you take the Bible literally and still think the tabernacle and temples were historical buildings, read the article entitled, The Esoteric Interpretation of Solomon’s Temple, and that might help set the record straight for you.

In the end, Jesus told us it all boils down to consciousness anyways. [Read more…] about What the Twelve Tribes of Israel and the Tabernacle Really Symbolize

Meditating into the God Within

by 17 Comments

Prediciting the FutureMany of you have heard of Dean Radin, a famous parapsychologist who has worked for the U.S. government, Contel, and SRI International. His research is helping us make a paradigm shift into the true nature of reality. More importantly, he is helping us realize the power within ourselves.

Mr. Radin has recently been involved with some ground-breaking research that I learned about on Naturalnews.com (article here). His latest research deserves our attention, especially in light of one of my recent articles entitled: The Message of the Bible in Two Radical Verses.

Zazen, Biblical Meditation, Jesus and Torah

by 15 Comments

Zazen meditationCould the Bible really contain teachings similar to Zazen, a type of Buddhist meditation? What if I told you that something akin to Zazen (and many other Eastern style meditations) was at the core of Biblical teachings, in both the Old and New Testament? In this post I will show you why I believe it is.

Google the words “Biblical meditation” and you will find dozens of sites proclaiming that meditation from a Biblical standpoint doesn’t resemble “Eastern” style concepts and techniques. [Read more…] about Zazen, Biblical Meditation, Jesus and Torah

The Bible: Going inside the Mind

by 25 Comments

In the MindThe Bible truly is a wonderful book. It saddens me that most people who read it don’t understand that it is more about the mind than it is religion, and within its pages are the keys to unlock the higher mind’s potential. This post is going to explore this potential. In part 2 of this series I am going to discuss Zazen, a type of Zen meditation, and how it supports Biblical teachings on the healing of the mind. The comparison is fascinating to say the least! [Read more…] about The Bible: Going inside the Mind

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

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!

Meditation, God, and Heaven

by 13 Comments

MeditationI was very excited about an article on that appeared on Smithsonian.com this month, entitled, “Researches: World’s Happiest Man is a Tibetan Monk (and PhD Geneticist).”

The article is relevant to this blog because it addresses one of the most important and holiest acts I promote here: meditation.

Before we get into the meat of the article, I want to pose an important question to you: Could meditation truly be a path to God and heaven? Please keep this question simmering in the back of your mind as you read the information below. You may just have an ah-ha moment! [Read more…] about Meditation, God, and Heaven
