Good Morning Everyone,
Laura, I deeply InJoyed and resonated with your last post here. Namaste. This was such a heartfelt and beautiful expression. Thank you.
When one awakens he/she starts to see beyond the words and grasp the deep meaning. The true Cabalists will tell you that the whole Torah is written in symbols. Every single story, accurate or not is actually a key to/ for people - to finding themselves.
I can only express in kind here as One in Spirit. The hindsight I received like you from all the years of studying the Bible which led me to realizing that this applied to any faith's texts was that so much is hidden or lost or covered over and no amount of studying will ever undo this, it keeps one seeking more information.
I gained in understanding what you share here Laura, it is by looking beyond these things. Seeing with 'Otherworldly' eyes and trusting the sensing and leading. Something inside you is saying yes to what you are reading
'between the lines'.
For instance the story of Moses - Egypt is a symbol of the Ego, the Jews is us - each and every one of us in search for our true identity and breaking free from Egos's grip, Moses is the illumination factor in which the hand of the Divine acts to help us find the light, however is never a direct intervention; because if it is direct it will defeat it's purpose.
Excellent expression on Moses. Truly. Moses' brother Aaron led the Jewish people into Canaan or the Promised Land as the story goes. They had to cross through the water to the otherside symbolically for cleansing, leaving everything behind to go into the new life already present.
The bridge (the River Jordan) symbolically was the crossing over into the 'Promised Land'. By the removing, aligning of the log, the undoing of the illusion now opened up by I (eye) being washed free of the dust of debris in the Living Stream and entering The Kingdom of Heaven within. Our Inheritance by Right. Our Home.
Now Single eyed, no more double vision or crosseyed, walleyed, separating one from their 'family of Divine geneology.'
And yes you are correct Bible was used for control but if you think about it, it was not what is written in the Bible but rather the people's flavour they put and how they interpret the things.
The truth is this stands in the many Christians that saw the light and yet at the same time they were at odds with the officials. Many of the 'saints' that are now revered by the Catholic Church were at some point excommunicated, accused of being in liege with the Devil etc..
Yeshua come to 'liberate' people or to help then think out of the box, the Law as we know it cannot possibly apply and be fair to all circumstances, so Yeshua encouraged people to find the truth at their core and don't get stuck in the Law as presented by Rabbis with controlling streak.
I know is it hard for people to 'get' what his death represents. Again I would not look at it just as a story... like Moses, Yeshua's death is another symbolism depicting the necessity of dieing to this world (physical, material, fear for body termination and the thinking that the body is all we are) and being re-born to the Spirit as a Spiritual human with unique soul.
Yes, I agree. He came to set the captives free. And he said, 'that unless a seed dies and falls into the ground, there can be no new life that comes from it.' He was willing to show what Life Is so that any who desired to experience it would be able to see by his example of going through the most feared experience of the illusiion here and overcome it as he did.
The bridge, River of Life Stream passing through a temporary experience to realize that it is not real in the authentic sense. There are many claims from all over the world of having seen this one after the crucifixion event. For me this says 'See? You have no thing to fear and death is swallowed up in victory.' What is victory over death? No death or Being Alive always. Death has been overcome and revealed for what it is, a cloud shaped of ones making believe.
Like walking through a screen and it tears open as you walk through it and realize that the projected images on the screen you once believed without a doubt were immovable real images or solid are not. Yehshua is not the only one who spoke of this, this is in all what is considered Sacred Texts.
I loved this entire post and will end with standing here with you Laura and sharing with Brent on forgiveness to add to your wonderful expression.
To give for in advance. Forgiveness. My eyes have been opened to see it quite differently from the Bible days.
Forgiveness in advance is seeing no reason to forgive because you see no offense to defend. If forgiveness is viewed as this being of an illusive state.
The I beam has been aligned (or blocks, walls and barriers removed) and now instead of being a wall of separated offenses to keep ones out, it is the bridge you cross or step over into freedom in Unity. We decide how high or low our bridges or blocks are and when we desire to lower the defenses and guises and wall with one another and just be ourselves for God or Source or the Universe ...
We claim our rightful innocence as a child in a Father's eye. We wake up to who we are in our Father's eyes.
I edited this after reading Talkers Rhetoric Ramblings. Thank you so much my Beloved Friend.
And thank you for sharing this communion along with me,
Love to you all in Spirit,
Julia
