The Fishbowl

The Fishbowl

Those who adhere to literalism refusing to see beyond the historical account to navigate into the rich intuited worlds fearing them and calling them occult, their view is indeed a fishbowl of limitation.

The scripture compares itself to "allegory" at least five times. (Ezekiel 17:2, Galatians 4:24, Proverbs 1:6, John 10:6 and John 16:29). So we must view some, (if not all of scripture) as having metaphorical or allegorical value.

Our Biblical accounts are filled with mystery, the same mysteries afforded through many cultures and myths that far predate Christianity that actually speak of the same mysteries. These cultural heroes are referred to by Joseph Campbell as the Hero of a Thousand Faces, appearing in all of our world’s religions, pointing to the same truth. Viewed metaphorically we find God’s love story with mankind secretly (occultically) planted within all of our worlds religions waiting to be uncovered like the pearl within the oyster.

The problem with Christianity is that they feel like their Jesus is the only path to this secret knowledge where as the initiate into these mysteries understands the depth and breadth of the love story to encompass all into Christ. The initiate sees CHRIST as the only way or path to the Source of all, the progenitor, not of Hebrew origin but one who holds the universe and beyond in its grasp. This way is not Hebrew or any other worldly nationality because the lineage of Christ is not hemmed in by any cultural or historical painting. To do such is to be the source of all wars and strife. Christ is the state of consciousness that recognizes the interconnectivity of all men and that mankind is indeed imbued with the Divine. This understanding is not global but rather universal. We must lift our eyes beyond the veil of limitation and see that the whole earth is yielding a crop whose origin is that of the stars and beyond.

This origin is encoded into all myths; myths that will guide us into our heritage as Christ in the Earth. Just as seed is planted in the garden, we cannot help but become who and what we are. Separation, judgment, elitism and intolerance are not the fruit that comes from Christ but rather the ego, the serpent found within all of our gardens that lures us into thinking apart from our Divine nature.

Adhering to an historical rather than mystical view will keep mankind forever waiting to the return of Christ outside of himself, a place that Jesus told us not to look.

You are the Son that has been sent to save the world. You are a unique amalgamation of the Divine and man. You must believe that you are so much more than a human—you are the manifestation of Christ in the Earth and through your belief, the world will be saved. Being "saved" is not about escaping the wrath of hell by raising your hand, walking an aisle and accepting Jesus into your heart. It is believing that the Divine is already, within.

I almost cried reading the last paragraph.
"You are the Son that has been sent to save the world". Wow.
