Grace N Truth

 Quote---> The name Noah comes from the Hebrew "Noach" which means "rest," or "repose." As we have already said the bible is a book of eastern mysticism. It is describing the inner workings of your mind and its place in and of creation. The story of Noah’s Ark is actually describing how we are to create a restful mind. We are to prepare our arc, our boat or our inner place of safety, before our emotional storms come and floods overwhelm us. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.  Genesis 7:2 Beasts (animals) in the bible represent are our thoughts. Beasts specifically are the thoughts of the carnal mind. Fowl are the thoughts of our higher spiritual mind. “Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female” Of every clean (spiritual) thought of the carnal mind we are to take seven. That is we are to balance the knowled...

Quote---> The Nephilim are mysterious beings in the Bible who are described as being large and strong. In Hebrew the word Nephilim directly translates to "the fallen ones".  Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them Earth: First stage of consciousness (lower mind) Sons : Our thoughts from the lower or higher consciousness Daughters : Thoughts from our emotional mind The Nephilim were in the earth (in the carnal mind) in those days when the sons of God (when the thoughts of the divine) came in unto the daughters of men (mixed with the emotions of men) and they bore children to them (the Nephilim were created) What this is telling us is that when we have thoughts of divinity from our higher consciousness that mix with the emotions of our lower consciousness we then create the religious giants that dominate us. Religion is a creation of the carnal mind a...

 Quote---> "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"  1 PETER 2:9 In biblical symbolism, this verse describes the awakening of the soul to its own higher nature, and the discovery that its identity is not the physical personality but the divine consciousness within it. Each title: "chosen", "royal", "priestly", "holy" is not a social category but an interior state of being. This is not a statement about a group of people, but about the structure of the awakened soul. “A chosen generation” This refers to the inner lineage, the divine ancestry of the soul. The “generation” is not biological but ontological, the soul arises from the Higher Self, not from the lower nature. To be “chosen” is to be: - awakened from within - summoned by the higher consciousness - recognized by the Self as...

 Quote---> Early Christians, who were in fact mystics, used the symbol of the fish symbol to secretly communicate their belief with one another. Going back further in ancient mythology God was represented by a fish. The fish was also a symbol of wisdom and divine understanding. When one entered into meditation they were said to be inside the fish (God). When the bible speaks of Jonah being swallowed by a fish it is saying that Jonah was in deep meditation. Cast your nets to the right (to catch fish). Cast your nets to the right is the biblical symbolism for focusing your energies to the right side of the brain where the creative (God) side of our psyche resides. The left side is the analytical or carnal mind. In the bible all good things come from the right or east and all negative things come from the left or the west (the carnal side). There is not a single instance of something good coming from the west, the carnal mind. The fish symbolism is also associated with the power to...

Quote---> Throughout the bible water is synonymous with truth. Water is the second stage of consciousness in the five baptisms. “This is the one who came by water (truth) and blood (spirit) - Jesus Christ.” “but whoever drinks the water (truth) I give them will never thirst.” “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven.” In Genesis 1 it is describing the separation of the truth of God from the truths of men. The firmament is the actual human consciousness. “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters.” - Here the word water is plural this is significant because it implies multiple truths which is technically is an error as there can only ever be one truth. “7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters wh...

Quote---> The “clean” and “unclean” animals are not about food at all. What the bible is describing are states of consciousness. The inner qualities, impulses, and tendencies within the soul, within the mind. Genesis 1:29 and Genesis 9:3 are not dietary shifts. They are symbolic shifts in the development of the mind, the inner human being. The Symbolism..... Clean animals = higher impulses, virtues, refined tendencies  Unclean animals = lower impulses, chaotic tendencies Noah preserves seven pairs because “seven” is the number of completion, it is the perfected cycle. Noah is saving the complete set of higher faculties. The Ark is the preserved mind, the part of the soul that survives the flood of transformation when the shadow is intigrated. --  Frank & Michele Welder Lethbridge, AB.

Quote--->The bible is only describing your mind. It discusses its creation and its relationship with the spirit from which it was created. Although the bible does use the real names and places of the physical realm they are only used as place holders (symbols) to describe the more complex nature of our minds. The bible is closer to a book of psychology than a book of religion. By no means should the bible be viewed as a historical document. I believe the following to be the true symbolic and mystical teachings of Genesis. The Beginning 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Heaven and Earth = Spirit and Mind Heaven - The state of consciousness on the buddhic plane which is above the mental plane. Primordial Earth - is formless matter / mind that has not yet been acted upon by spirit. Darkness - Not always a bad thing. The ...
