Contrary to formal religion perception, the Beatitudes are not about a man teaching spiritual truths to a gathered audience on a hilltop. When esoterically understood, the Beatitudes are about realization of our Higher Self, the attainment of lasting peace and true happiness by means of real connection with God-nature. Composed through this God-nature or Higher…

Consider the Bible’s creation. Written over a period of 1,500 years and consisting of 66 books, the Bible was written in 3 languages on 3 continents and authored by 40 writers of many different cultures and systems of philosophy. The Bible’s contributors, from all professions in life, were all agreed on one thing: that there…

Matthew 14:15-20 informs us that the Apostles went to Jesus and told Him the large crowd which followed Him were hungry: they had no food with them to eat. The Apostles wanted to send them to the towns and villages to buy food (Luke 9:12). The Apostles informed Jesus that a boy there had five…

The Bible says: “But first [life priority] seek ye the kingdom [transcendental silence] and all else shall be added unto you [raised in consciousness] – Matthew 6:33 KJV. Beyond these instructional words, what is and where is this kingdom of transcendental silence, how do we evaluate such within individual consciousness? Is it absence of city…

While seeming paradoxical, this question contains extreme life-enhancing potential. Put another way: through what level of dominant consciousness is our life presently functioning – authentic soul consciousness or fake persona? Persona – meaning mask – fearing hurt through verbal or emotional attack, is constantly in defence mode. Engulfed with feelings of superiority and self-importance, it…

In seeking solutions to complex and even abstract situations, generally we seek through the same plateau of shallow intelligence, which, by default, limits in-sight of advance nature. Conversely, functioning through a level of brain activity which promotes intelligence growth, is surly the wisest route. The question arises: how do we access and develop this potential…

On first reading these biblical words, they can come across as negative and condescending. But, a closer visual study of “the crucifixion” — as depicted by those spiritually qualified artists such as, Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci — reveal a series of coded messages, other than the obvious statement. The portraits show Jesus with head…

Ark symbolizes the mind, and, Noah symbolizes a soul seeking divine rest or inner peace. Thus, Noah’s Ark depicts a soul in process of becoming spiritually realized – a soul journeying to know unconditional love through creating peace within the mind. The Ark, we’re told, came to rest upon a mountain — mountain, biblically, means…

[1] “I Am the Lord [Law] they God, thou shall not have strange God’s before me.” “I” (AM) is un-created eternal present-moment consciousness — always was-always will be. “Strange Gods” is living life through either past or future mind-enslaved states. God is Love therefore, “strange Gods” are lower-self mind-sets or belief systems — to include…

Is this THE most profound question in the entire Bible? When contemplated through an open, silence-infused mind this question brings about soul feed-back which is truly revelatory. Stirring the deeper consciousness, it addresses natural spiritual curiosity of who and what we really are at core level, and how we can integrate such in more meaningful…
