We will translate psalm 46-10 “be still and know that I am God” more comprehensively toward the end of this article. It will explain just how important this particular psalm is for humans at this unprecedented time. But, for now, by way of adding context, let us discern upon how wildlife carries out its corresponding…

Coronavirus and the Scriptures
I read recently, about a group of people who became lost in the wildest region of the jungle, and were in great danger. The leader of the group bravely suggested that we might pray. To which, someone replied ‘oh, no, has it come to that’? Generally speaking, whenever the term prayer is mentioned, it conjures…
“Do Unto Others” and Rebuilding the Temple
When Luke 6:31-35 is broken down practically, the emphasis most definitely shifts from the non-participatory to one of a definite hands-on approach. It’s then that we undoubtedly come upon vital additional navigational skills for skippering our soul into Divine harbor. In its literal understanding, this scripture of course has value, in that, it brings awareness…
Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself and The Good Samaritan
This amazing parable, told by Jesus, in Luke 10:25-37, seems at first straight forward in its literal content, until, of course, we drill down and study its deeper ramifications. Cursory reading of this vital scripture, no matter how many times, or even just hearing it from time to time, is not sufficient for its intended…
Awakening Unto Faith-Consciousness and Christ Within
People who suffer mostly in life, both mentally and physically, are souls in complete ignorance of their Higher Self nature. This Higher Self realm, while lying beyond phenomenal existence, is present within each of us. In other words, being eternally Now or transcendental, Higher Nature never encounters time, space and causation. Remaining always transcendental, therefore,…
Jesus’ Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem
Beautiful abstract concepts are almost valueless unless we can nail them down practically in our own daily life. The story of Jesus entering Jerusalem, riding on a donkey and her foal simultaneously, is truly one of those great biblical conundrums: how this double riding feat is achieved, while also considering: Mark 10-32 “Jesus and his…
Take Up Thy Cross and Follow Me
In the Bible, Pontius Pilate (the Roman governor) found no wrongdoing with Jesus. Jesus was then sent to Herod who also found nothing wrong with what he did or preached. Finally, Pilate asked the people, “What shall he do with Jesus,” and they replied, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” The “him” being referred to isthe son…
The Forbidden Fruits – What Are They?
The answer to the forbidden fruits lies within esoteric interpretation of Genesis 2:16-17 “the tree of the knowledge of the fruits of good and evil” and, “the tree of life”. The symbolism behind the word “tree” is that every tree has a root system which receives nourishment, which then serves the overall tree. Thus esoterically…
God Rested on the Seventh Day – Esoterically What Does This Mean?
We’re all fairly familiar with Hebrews 4-4 “God Rested On the Seventh Day from all His Work”, and a few lines down: Hebrews 4–10 “For whoever receives that rest which God promised will rest from his own work, just as God rested from his. And in Hebrews 3–11 “God became angry”. Let us explore these…
Realization of Image and Likeness of God
Humankind is acknowledged as the crowning jewel of God’s creation: the only creature made in the image and likeness of God-nature. This is by virtue of the fact that, man can Self realize individually, whereas animals cannot. Col 1:19 puts it “For it was by God’s own decision that the Son (Christ within) has in…
