Everything in the Bible is really about you, because YOU are the World of Creation.
Ancient Greek for World
Cosmos (Kosmos: κόσμος): an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, or governing body: World, Universe |
Ancient Greek for Soul
Soul: Psyche: ψυχή: The totality of elements forming the mind (the id, ego, and superego including both conscious and unconscious components) |
The Bible is written like a mirror of greater and smaller truths that continually reflect back upon themselves. This inner world of the psyche (Soul) is made up of elements of truth that were gathered and crafted by the physical world around you, and as such the mind’s landscape uses similar concepts when it reasons things out. For this reason we dream in images of people, places, and things.
Gen 40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. |
The entire Bible is made up of this vocabulary of dream related imagery, and since dreams are simply unfiltered thoughts they are built of the unconscious imagery of the world of reason. Ironically, once you understand how the mind works; dreams begin to make more sense.
Num 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. |
Remember, the entire Bible works off of allegories and parables and everything written in it is really detailing a story of mental development that eliminates the frustration of ignorance and heals the mind with clarity. This theme is the process of bringing light to a dark world.
Jhn 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. |
This self-reflecting process of reason uses the entire mental landscape to determine different elements of truth. There is a constant shifting from above to below (and vice versa) using an entire macro- microcosmic universe of comparatives.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. |
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. |
In this mental world people are one of the primary components and take on the role of a concept, and a kingdoms become a congregation of many of these supporting ideas and thus create a state of awareness. In this world of the mind the king of a kingdom is really the leading concept that dominates a particular state of understanding. So, in the Bible a kingdom is really a state of being, or the extent of one specific understanding.
The whole Bible is written like this. It’s like a code of sorts, and if you don’t have the keys to unlocking what each element of the inner world means, everything will get mottled and confused and all you will see is the stories at face value and not see the hidden truth that’s detailed within them.
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. |
It is also important to note that every aspect of these keys is broken into 3 major elements of understanding. It’s like looking at a mirror where there are 3 attributes present at any given time. Though typically we only think of there being 2:
- A physical object.
- A reflection of that object.
However in a spiritual mirror there are 3 images that stack upon each other:
- Ideal Self
- True Self
- Natural Self
We know these reflections also as the:
- Mind
- Spirit
- Body
But as this is not a physical mirror all elements are spiritual in nature. This means that everything is reflecting on different attributes of your higher self that is competing against your lower and more natural tendencies. Sigmund Freud called these elements the:
- Super ego
- Ego
- Id
The entire landscape of the inner world is built up of similar elements that reflect upon these 3 aspects of self. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Mountain or a Kingdom, they are both governing principals of the higher self. A Father, a King and the Sky are also representative for your higher elevation of understandings, but they will have subtle differences to their meaning. It may seem a little complicated at first, but this is, after all, learning another language (The language of tongues).
1Co 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? |
Give it some time and try it out. Learn these KEYS and use the supplied color chart to see how each element of inner truth applies to the: ideal self, true self and natural self. We will then use these KEYs for all our lessons to come.
