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 Crossing of the Red Sea and Baptism: It’s NOT about water!

by 82 Comments

Parting the Red SeaYou may be wondering why I am going to link baptism with the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. The answer is because both the Red Sea crossing and baptism represent one and the same thing, each of which has nothing to do with literal water.

The scripture makes this clear, and to try and say that the Bible actually supports dunking your body in water in order to bury the lower / sin nature of man is incorrect. Being dunked in water doesn’t change you. It can’t get rid of the sin nature. It simply makes you wet and is no different than swimming or taking a bath.

So did the Biblical authors have something else in mind when they spoke of baptism? Absolutely! They are speaking of something that truly has the power to renew your mind. Baptism actually represents a holy act that harbors and manifests the Christ nature within you! [Read more…] about The Crossing of the Red Sea and Baptism: It’s NOT about water!

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

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.

Reality Manifestation and the Bible

by 34 Comments

There are a lot of personal development websites out there talking about manifesting your own reality these days. Many of them contain a lot of great and interesting information. But over the years I have learned some things about reality manifestation that many of these websites leave out. This is where I believe the Bible can help fill in a gap for us. After a brief discussion of God and reality manifestation, we’ll look at some scriptures from the New Testament book of James to get better grip on all this.

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.

Moses, the Bronze Serpent, and Bible Kundalini

by 89 Comments

Have you ever wondered why Moses had to “lift up” the bronze snake in the wilderness in order for the Israelites to be healed? This is perhaps one of the most puzzling scriptures in the entire Bible. Pastors and Bible study teachers alike have been stumped as to why it is there, and it seems that traditional Christianity has no proper explanation. Is there one? Yes, but the answer lies beyond the literal interpretation, and it contains a wonderful spiritual truth! [Read more…] about Moses, the Bronze Serpent, and Bible Kundalini

Jonah, the Whale, and Higher Consciousness

by 20 Comments

For hundreds of years Sunday schools all over the country have taught children the Biblical story of Jonah and the whale. But the deeper meaning beyond the literal story takes us beyond a man who was swallowed by a big fish; in its esoteric sense, the story is about the human condition and the initiation process into Christ consciousness that we are all destined to go through. And while the literal viewpoint gives us the impression that Nineveh is being presented with an important opportunity, the real opportunity is for Jonah, and as you’ll see, Jonah experiences an initiation process and subsequent rebirth from his lower nature to his higher nature.

The Apostle Paul, Christian Mysticism, and Meditation

by 12 Comments

The Apostle Paul has come to us through history as the fierce Pharisee turned Christian. But what does this mean, exactly? We all understand the attitude of the Pharisee which Jesus confronted: that is, the Pharisee was someone who dictated to others what they had to do to please God. But the ultimate paradox is that many Christians have embraced this mindset which Paul turned away from.

To truly understand what I mean, we must ask ourselves, what was Paul’s version of Christianity?

For myself, I am positive that Paul’s version of Christianity would resemble the essence of Christian mysticism. How can I make such a statement? Paul’s own words tell us this, and in today’s post we’re going to discuss a few verses from Romans chapter 2 that reflect this sentiment.

Jesus, 40 Days in the Desert, and the Ego

by 41 Comments

Today I have a special revelation for all my blog readers. In our last article, we discussed why the author of Hebrews encourages Christians to leave the doctrines of Christ (exoteric or outer teachings) and go on to maturity realizing the inner (esoteric) teachings of Christ. We also stated that when a Christian reaches this level of maturity, it is more important to realize what Jesus represents instead of focusing on who he was. Ultimately, the author of Hebrews wanted to teach his disciples a much more advanced set of teachings that were not anchored to the literal interpretation of the Biblical text. In today’s blog post I am going to focus on what Jesus should represent by going over the story of Jesus’ 40 days and nights in the desert.

The Bride of Christ, The Marriage Supper, and Meditation

by 6 Comments

The Bride of Christ and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb…what strange language used to describe Christians who are destined for a very special occurrence of cosmic proportions! But what does it all really mean? Could the language be symbolic for an event that might be a little closer to you than you might realize? For hundreds of years the true meaning of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb has been sacrificed by religiously-minded leaders; it is not an actual event that is going to happen in a far away majestic abode above the clouds—it’s a majestic occurrence that takes place between your ears, inside your head, or more specifically, inside your mind.
