The Ten Commandments
Before continuing with the ten commandments, the ten plagues and the seven deadly sins, consider the following.
I propose to you that these things written down in the bible are spiritual things, in other words not to be read as the dead letter, as the masses do, but spiritually as the mystic does.
After all the bible says it very clearly, "don't be a minister of the letter" for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life"
"All things which are an allegory"
"don't you understand the DARK sayings of old", says the bible. Dark sayings is MYTHOLOGY
"reading my word at face value is as milk for babes" says the bible.
There's several more statements that admonish you and I not to read the scriptures LITERALLY. But do we do it?
How many of us seek the spiritual interpretation of the word, apparently not too many of us.
We believe that god commands us not to eat shrimp or pork of certain fowls, or not square the corners of our beards. Keep in mind that on the transverse side, "God said he put all things on the earth to be eaten with thanksgiving"
We are in the process of retelling the story of the Book of Exodus from the Old Testament, allegorically and symbolically. We have come to the ten commandments given by God to Moses on the Mount of Sinai.
These things are MYSTICAL, not LITERAL as you have been taught in your churches, by your pastors and deacons etc.
The entire Bible is pure Mythology, through and through, completely misunderstood by the religious masses, they haven't a clue!
These sayings are mind words, these sayings are used to open the right side of the brain, these sayings are SPIRITUAL, ans not LITERAL.
There's no god anywhere that cares who you have sex with, what you eat, where or when you take a crap or anything else.
This god is concerned with the contents of it's temple (the human brain), and that's all. I'll leave you with this verse, think on it.
"god is not subject to the carnal nature, neither can he be."
God is only concerned with you from the NECK up, PERIOD, end of story.
Christians have destroyed the beautiful metaphysical meaning of the entire bible, because they read it LITERALLY as opposed to SPIRITUALLY, as it was meant to be read.
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned".
The NATURAL man, means the lower minded Literalists, like the Christians. It is they alone that have corrupted the true hidden meanings.
Jesus said to the 12 apostles: "You have been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those, the ones outside, everything is given in parables, so that seeing, they may see and not perceive, " (Mark 4:11-12)
You see it's a MYSTERY
"That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ"
Clement of Alexandria, Strom. V, 10, 64: "For not grudgingly, he saith, did the Lord declare in a certain gospel: My mystery is for me and for the sons of my house." Origen, Homil. in Jer., XX, 3: "But the Saviour himself saith: He who is near me is near the fire; he who is far from me, is far from the kingdom."
That means that you CANNNOT read the Bible at face value.
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 2 cor. 3:14
There is a VEIL that must be lifted before one can grasp the true meaning of the allegorical scriptures.
1."Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
The teaching of this first commandment is that God is the only being. Just as he told Moses from the burning bush. I AM THAT I AM. (LIGHT)
The teaching of this first commandment is that God is the only being. Just as he told Moses from the burning bush. I AM THAT I AM. (LIGHT)
Whatever is, therefore, is God. There can be no other thing outside of God. When we love God first, we love all creation and keep everything in balance.
God's do not necessarily mean god's as we normally think of, but when we are living life and drawn to certain material things, and dwell in those material things, these things become god's, a Volkswagen car can become a very powerful god indeed.
Gods are WITHIN, these other god's are lower levels of consciousness.
Give the universe it's ten percent of your time, and then there will be balance WITHIN you. It doesn't mean money, per se, it doesn't even mean cars, or stereos, but when you dwell in them, then they come as god's to you and I.
2."Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."
We are here told not to set up and worship graven images.
But these images may be mental as well as physical. In fact the reference to those things in heaven, on earth or under the sea refer to spiritual, intellectual and subconscious images.
Worship means to assign great worth to. Graven means carved or firmly fixed in mind.
We are talking about images or ideas that we create false beliefs. Based on our judgements or people or events, they are the cause of most of our physical and emotional.
3."Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
TAKING THE LORDS NAME IN VAIN
That's one of the ten commandments. But what does it mean ?
When you use God to try and justify yourself as being something that you are not?
What ?
You say you're Born Again, and a follower of Jesus. If that was true you would be a pacifist.
But instead you attack and kill thousands of people who never did anything to you.
You kill thousands for a reason which is proven to be wrong.
You use the Lords Name to get votes from millions of people .
But there is a penalty. There is a price to pay when you use the Lords name in vain.
4."Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all they work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God:
In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, not thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, not thy stranger that is within thy gates:
This is referring to the work one performs in meditation, when the kundalini (serpent) (eve) has reached the sixth chakra, it's over, the work required to reach the seventh seal is finished, the energy will move and open the seventh seal automatically, nor more work on your part is necessary, nor the part of the alien (electricity) within your gates (12 cranial nerves) has to work any more.
for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."
What a wonderful thing it would be, in this age, if we were to follow this commandment literally. We would benefit physically, mentally and spiritually. Yet on another level, we are dealing with the symbolism of numbers again. Seven is the number of perfection, a completed and perfect spiritual journey.
The family represents the thoughts, intellectual, the son, subconscious, the daughter, the manservant and the maidservant represent those thoughts that serve us, the animals are our sensual lower carnal thoughts, and finally, the stranger represents the new energy that was alien to you your whole life.
This is a very lengthy way of saying, "Let go, and let God."
There is a point when we have done all we can, represented by the six days. And on the seventh, we must allow for the universe (cosmos) to manifest WITHIN.
God the Hierarchies, time or whatever you choose to call it, to complete the work and bring about success.
5."Honor thy father and thy mother: That thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."
If you're mother and father were Bonny and Clyde, would you honer them?
No I think not! don't read it literally, lets see what it means Symbolically (spiritually.
Literally, this is an easy one to understand. But taken symbolically, it contains a very powerful message.
The father represents the intellectual consciousness. As Joseph is the intellect in the bible.
The mother represents the mind that is ripe for giving birth to the new mind, to the new thought patterns.
It is the two in balance or harmony, which when combined and working together will enable us to lead a balanced life.
The land (Isreal) that we shall long be upon and which was given us, is the state of consciousness that results from this harmony.
6."Thou shalt not kill."
The meaning of this commandment belies it simplicity. Notice that we usually assume, "Thou shalt not kill a person." But, it is not so specific. It is not a Literal verse, it is not talking about killing a person or an animal in the literal sense, but instead it's talking about the killing of one's SPIRIT, as the bible is a SPIRITUAL book.
There are so many ways to kill.
As Oscar Wilde wrote:
Yet each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look,Some with a flattering work, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a mental sword.
A murderer kills only the body. But what about killing the spirit by the way we treat others, murdering the minds of those around us, especially those who answer to us?
What about killing initiative and self confidence?
What about the death of the soul?
Criticism and condemnation are also killers. Hate, jealousy and anger can also kill.
The die of transmutation indicates that we are not to kill anything, except negative and destructive thoughts and emotions.
We are to replace them with positive and loving thoughts and emotions.
What about when reborn Christians, or any one who represents any of the modern religions tries to convert you, wouldn't they be guilty of killing you?
After all dumping their religious garbage on you or their children has surely killed more brain cells than all the grains of sand on a beach.
Religion kills more assuredly than any other thing I can think of. I believe this commandment was designed and was a hint just for the religious barbarians of this world.
Mormons, reborn Christians and Jehovah witnesses stay away from my house, I want to live, and have all, and that's all my brain cells in tact til the day I actually die LITERALLY! You FOOLS!!
Killing and Death in the bible is ALWAYS referring to the SPIRIT and SOUL, not the physical. It's not talking about LITERAL killing, but spiritually, as the Bible is a SPIRITUAL book.
Religion is the biggest killer on this entire planet, even more so than cancer or diabetes.
Yes! Thank you......
For nature abhors a vacuum. Again, "Thou shalt not kill."
Remember this verse?
"god is not subject to the carnal nature, neither can he be."
It means that god is NOT subject to what humans do on this planet, he CANNOT be, humans kill each other and animals as well, God is NOT subject to this, the commandment "thou shall not kill" is the spiritual killing of a persons soul. It is NOT LITERAL!
7."Thou shalt not commit adultery."
To understand the deeper meaning of this commandment, we must consider the meaning of the spiritual marriage.
The spiritual marriage which is referred to in several places in the bible, has to do with the marriage of the intellect of conscious mind to the soul or heart consciousness - the union of the conscious (9) with the unconscious.
To commit adultery on this level is to be untrue to the soul that is our source of truth and love.
It is to seek the lower manifestation of one of your other natures, the physical and the emotional, when you are in accord with either of these two other natures, you are committing adultery.
8."Thou shalt not steal."
We know that from the law as Jesus stated it, "As you sow, so shall you reap," that stealing will not benefit you.
This is true not just of material things, but also of emotions and thoughts.
Read carefully!!!
To take love, kindness or any other good thing from someone without reciprocating in some way is another form of stealing.
9."Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
False witness includes gossip, dishonesty and false judgments. These are obviously potentially harmful actions. But the most harm is not to the intended target but to the instigator.
Every negative or judgmental thought we have has a harmful impact on us at a deep emotional and physical level. It is our health that will suffer, both physical and emotional.
he pain in the pit of your stomach, the tension in your neck and shoulders the headache, and the backache the heartburn and on and on may all be related to your negative thinking.
As you are reading this, you are using the intellect or intellectual nature, you have two other natures to your being, the physical and the emotional.
When you bear false witness (convince yourself that a lie) based on your emotions is reality, you are bearing false witness, it has nothing to do with any LITERAL meaning!! It's an illusion called maya or the matrix.
10."Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, not his maidservant, not his ox, nor his ass, not any thing that is thy neighbor's."
First of all this can apply to me, because my neighbor does not have a manservant nor a maidservant, nor does he have oxen or asses. How can you covet thy neighbors HOUSE? That's silly, the house in the Bible is always making reference to the brain/mind. As Jesus said in Psalms "Your enemies are of your own HOUSE" Where are the enemies? They are in your own HOUSE. Well that takes care of the meaning of the word house, Biblically speaking, it is your mind.
Do you see the problem, right away the verse screams that you are reading mythology, of course it's silly when read Literally.
Consider your neighbors to be the emotional and physical nature, because you are using the intellect right now, and together these are the three kings, that visited baby Jesus. The physical, the emotional and the intellectual nature, in the book of Daniel, these are represented as Meschac, shedrach and abednego.
When you are weighing decisions, contemplating, reading these words, you are using your intellect, that means that your neighbors are the physical and emotional. You are not to covet are harbor anything that comes from the lower aspects of the mind, the oxen and asses are symbols of the animal nature and all of the thoughts that proceed from this mind, the manservant is the left brain, the maidservant is the right brain, but operating in the realm of duality, it is the EGO.
Don't think of neighbors as someone next door to you, or across the street, but these neighbors are much closer, and much closer indeed.
In the Bible women are a SYMBOL of the emotions, well I wonder why the ancient writers used women as a symbol of the emotions, just ask any married man and he will tell you, women are just made that way, they are by their very nature emotional creatures, so they are used as symbols in the Bible, just as children are symbols of the offspring of thought.
Your mind is the house, and Jesus said "your enemies are those of your own house" it's all inside if you (WITHIN).
When you are going along and thinking good and positive things, then all of a sudden, you hear some bad news, and your emotions get stirred, and you body twitches, your stomach gets in a knot etc, this is when things can go awry.
When you allow the the good harmonious thought patterns in your daily routine, to mix with the thoughts arising out of the lower three kings, and you are moved by thoughts produced by these, you are coveting your neighbors wife (emotional thoughts). If you do this, you will make decisions based on your emotions, as opposed to the rational or higher mind principle.
All of the subsequent thoughts arise from the emotional nature are the wives, and you are to avoid these women.
So it is the way of the mytholoigist to write the things of the mind, in this manner. (SYMBOLICALLY!!!)
We have no need to take from someone else. There is no limit to the gifts that are available to us.
It is for us to desire enough to take the actions necessary to earn our own rewards. For "all things will be added unto us." But we must seek the kingdom, and where is it, it is WITHIN you, and are the ten commandments, the seven sins, the ten plagues, they are all in US.
To sum up the tenth commandment.
Do not covet ( harbor) thoughts that arise out of egoic , emotional or the lower mind, this is where the animals are, the oxen, asses etc...As in the Book of Daniel "I gave man the mind of an animal, til SEVEN times passes by for him" That's the seven chakras.
It would be silly to think that this verse only applies to men, what about women, does it say that thou shall not covet thy neighbors husband? So I guess then the tenth commandment only applies to men, and not women, that's absolutely stupid, that's why one must learn how to read the symbolic language, the DARK saying s of old and their wise sayings, just as the bible admonishes you to do. Do not COVET the thoughts that arise out of lower emotional thinking. This is the truth and how to understand this deep mythology. Scotty! Eye, energizing transporter now.

The Bible is Wrong About the 10 Commandments
The Ten Commandments are universal in nature. When one becomes enlightened, the Ten Commandments are realized and lived out from within. This is especially true after the awakening of the third eye, or pineal gland. Now consider the scripture below from Jeremiah:
“This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write in on their hearts” (Jeremiah 31:31)
WHERE? In their MINDS
The second ten commandments written by Moses.
The prophet Jeremiah is declaring that the law is meant to be in the mind and heart permanently, not something which should be obeyed from an external law book or outward code.
This is about something that happens “within” you. Let’s also read the very next verse:
“No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me…” (Jeremiah 31:34).
Someone who has experienced enlightenment no longer serves the ego. The law was written for the ego, but the spiritual man who is not under the operation of the ego lives by grace (enlightenment / Christ consciousness.)
This is the entire reason the Ten Commandments were placed inside the Ark of the Covenant ( in your conscious awareness); it was to serve as a symbolic image of what was to truly be experienced by a true Israelite (spiritually enlightened person).
Not many people know that the Ten Commandments came from chapter 125 in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. That was written centuries before the Torah. The Ark of the Covenant also came from Egypt.
Found within the king’s chamber of the Great Pyramid was one furniture piece—a box with the same dimensions as the Ark of the Covenant as it is described in the Bible! Israel, or Isis, Ra, and Elohim also come from the name of Egyptian Gods. My point is that believing the scriptures are meant to be literal is not what’s important. It’s the hidden spiritual meanings within them that matter! Never stop digging and questioning.
Mainstream Christianity has misunderstood all of this imagery for centuries. One cannot worship God in spirit and in truth by worshiping something “out there.” All truth is contained within you. Mainstream Christianity has taught us that by “believing” the literal Gospel this entire spiritual process is assured to us by Christ. But what they fail to realize is that Christ is to be formed in you! It is not about believing a literal story. This brings no rising of consciousness.
The Truth Is…
The Bible gives us two versions of the 10 commandments. The first set of “thou shalt nots” that most people mistakenly think are the “10 commandments” were recited by God to Moses, and then from Moses (or from God?, the Bible says God spake) to “them”.
Exodus
19:25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
The tablets that were broken
This is about something that happens “within” you. Let’s also read the very next verse:
“No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me…” (Jeremiah 31:34).
Someone who has experienced enlightenment no longer serves the ego. The law was written for the ego, but the spiritual man who is not under the operation of the ego lives by grace (enlightenment / Christ consciousness.)

The Bible gives us two versions of the 10 commandments. The first set of “thou shalt nots” that most people mistakenly think are the “10 commandments” were recited by God to Moses, and then from Moses (or from God?, the Bible says God spake) to “them”.
Exodus
19:25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
The tablets that were broken
Finally, the REAL 10 commandments with spiritual translation
34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
34:4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Exodus 34:14-26
Exodus 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Wait a minute! WHO wrote the words? God said “I will write”; this verse says Moses wrote.I bet you never heard that from a preacher or religious person.
34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he (Moses?) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Read that carefully. Here is the bible stating in no uncertain terms that the below commandments are the REAL 10 commandments as dictated, (“write thou these words”), by God to Moses.
Why did God have Moses write the second set of commandments, when God wrote the first ones that Moses broke, this is a hightly metaphysical riddle, we will get to that later, first lets translate the second set written by Moses.
Remember these are symbolic of things that go on in ones field of consciousness.
THE REAL TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Worship means to have reverence and adoration, it doesn't mean to grovel at the feet of some deity, we know that the right hemisphere of the brain is gods pleasant portion, we are simply to have reverence to this right side, which is the higher Christ/God mind.
God is jealous when we go whoring after otherg Gods, these other gods are the desires of the flesh, the intellect and the emotions, when we live in EGO consciousness we are serving these other Gods.
2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
Molten means fused or liquefied by heat, when the heat and passions of the lower mind are active in our daily conscious thinking, we are making molten gods.
3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
Unleavened bread is a symbol of the purity of consciousness, it is not corrupted by the puffed up pride of the ego ( yeast), so we are to consume higher quality thoughts Unleavened) at all times. The Seven days are symbols of the Seven Chakras that must be energized by the kundalini in our meditation.
Abib
The seventh month of the Jewish year, equivalent to Nisan of the modern Jewish calendar. Ex. 34:18.
Again Abib is referencing the Seven chakras, Egypt is operating from the lower self or egoic consciousness.
Month
Month is 12, we have 12 cranial nerves in our brains that must be energized by the flow of electrical current up the spine, throught the Seven chakras
4. All that openeth the matrix is mine. But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
The matris is a womb, it is the birth place of the new mind, but first we must open this womb in our meditation, the firstlings of an ass is a symbol of the animal nature that must be redeemed by the lamb, the lamb of god that takes away the sins of the world, on the physiological chart it is the pineal gland of the brain, thats the redeemer ( lamb ).
To break the neck means to cut off the currents that flow from the lower self, as the neck is the symbolic cut off point, if you cant activate the lamb within, then break the neck, cut off the currents/impulses from the emotions coming from the lower self.
5. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
The sixth day is the activating of the sixth chakra, the pineal gland of the brain, the seventh is the crown chakra, after the crown chakra is open, then rest from all of your meditative work.
6. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
This one takes more explanation.
The Feast of Weeks is the second of the three “solemn feasts”
Since the Feast of Weeks was one of the “harvest feasts,” the Jews ( those that seek within ) were commanded to “present an offering of new grain to the Lord” (Leviticus 23:16). This offering was to be “two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
Along with the “wave offerings” they were also to offer seven first-year lambs that were without blemish along with one young bull and two rams. Additional offerings are also prescribed in Leviticus and the other passages that outline how this feast was to be observed.
Another important requirement of this feast is that, when the Jews harvested their fields, they were required to leave the corners of the field untouched and not gather “any gleanings” from the harvest as a way of providing for the poor and strangers (Leviticus 23:22).
The Feast of Weeks takes place exactly 50 days after the Feast of Firstfruits. It normally occurs in late spring, either the last part of May or the beginning of June. Unlike other feasts that began on a specific day of the Hebrew calendar, this one is calculated as being “fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath” (Leviticus 23:15–16; Deuteronomy 16:9–10).
"And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest The firstfruits are the first of the higher divine thoughts that one manifests within their awakening state after having opened the seven seals or chakras, this is the wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end."
Ingathering is a symbol of the consciousness of a person manifesting the higher divine thoughts, when we are operating from the higher state of mind. The pineal gland is complete at the 49th day, the 50 ( pentecost ) menas five, itis a symbol of the overcoming of the five senses in the meditative state, the sevent sabbath also means the crown chakra, as the word Sabbath means seven.
Wheat is a symbol of the staff of life, it is the bread, which is the word of god stamped in our consciousness.
Year again represents the energized 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
This offering was to be “two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
A JEW ( those that seek within ) were commanded to “present an offering of new grain to the Lord” (Leviticus 23:16). The grain is a symbol of the higher self and the thoughts that proceed from the higher conscious mind.
“two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
The word EPAPH means basket, this basket is the physical head or temple which houses both the left and right hemisphers of the brain, hence TWO wave loaves, a wave offering is made by the pineal to the higher divine impulses from the cosmos, see wave offering elsewhere.
Why two tenths, because two represents both hemispheres of the brain, it is two tenths of what is inside your head ( the apeph) or human head.
the tenth part of an ephah (as in the RSV), equal to an omer or six pints. The recovered leper, to complete his purification, was required to bring a trespass, a sin, and a burnt offering, and to present a meal offering, a tenth deal or an omer of flour for each, with oil to make it into bread or cakes ( Leviticus 14:10
The secret is the number six, it is the number of mans waking conscious state, it means doctrine, religious brain washing etc...man was created on the SIXth day.
Two tenths is TWO Omers or two times six which is 12, again referencing the 12 cranial nerves of the brain, the 12 stones of the Jordan river.
1 Chronicles 9:32. Twelve cakes — Representing the twelve tribes, the 12 cranial nerves. Two tenth-deals shall be in one cake — That is, two omers, or two tenth parts of an ephah, consisting of about six quarts of English measure, Exodus 16:36.
24:1-9 The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world. The Christ consciousness.
7. Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
Thrice or three always is a symbol of new life, the 3 days in the tomb, the 3 days of the winter solstice, the 3 days in the belly of the great fish etc..
Year again here are the 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
men in the bible means mind, it comes Mentes, Latin for mind.
Men children,, a child is devoid of ego and is pure in heart and mind, so here it is saying that those that exhibit pure thoughts, higher divine thoughts are menchildren.
It is only this higher divine mind that can see god, god is not subjest to the carnal mind and neither can he be, he is only subjest to the mind that becomes as a child.
8. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
Blood is a symbol of the life force, the life force is the electrical energy of the body, do not mix the life force with Leaven, leaven is a symbol of the thoughts of the lower egoic mind.
The feast of the passover is when ones mind and consciousness has passed over from the lower to the higher, devoid of EGO, don't leave this until morning, morning is a symbol of the first dawning of the higher conscious state, day is the fully enlightened mind. Don't wait to sacrafice the leaven, do it evberyday in your meditation.
9. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.
Again the FIRST fruits are thi first of the thigher divine thoughts that come from the renewed min, when one has had the passover within themselves. The HOUSE is the center of ones consciousness, in the mid brain. Gos dwells in temples made WITHOUT hand sayeth the prophet.
10. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
kids and she-goats signify innocence, purity and truth.
It was also commanded that the curtain of the tent over the tabernacle should be made of the wool of she-goats (Exod. 25:4; 26:7; 35:5, 6, 23, 26; 36:14), for a sign that all the holy things therein represented derived their essence from innocence.
By the wool of she-goats is signified the ultimate or outermost of the innocence that is in ignorance, such as exists with the Gentiles and who in the internal sense are the curtains of the tabernacle.
From all this it is evident what and of what quality are the truths of good that are signified by the two good kids of the she-goats concerning which Rebekah his mother spoke unto Jacob her son, namely, that they are those of innocence or of infancy.
Seetthe
A person that is filled with intense but unexpressed anger.
"inwardly he was seething at the slight to his authority"
bubble up as a result of being boiled.
This is the boiloing over of the lower mind or the lower emotions, the mind that is quick to anger, one has reached a boiling point as they say, the manifestation of the ego in ones conscious waking mind.
kid in his mother’s milk.
The kid Goat
The digestive physiology of a very young kid (like the young of other ruminants) is essentially the same as that of a monogastric animal. Milk digestion begins in the abomasum, the milk having bypassed the rumen via closure of the reticuloesophageal groove during suckling. At birth, the rumen is undeveloped, but as the kid begins to consume solid feed, the rumen soon increases in size and in its capacity to absorb nutrients.
The milk is the divine word of god, it is the substance of nourishment, mother is a symbol of the spirit.
"Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk."
A kid cooked in its mother's milk is "a gross, unwholesome dish, but when we understand the symbolism, we have a clear picture of this commandment.
That the truth and good of the innocence of the external or natural man is signified by kids and she-goats, is evident from the following passages in the Word. In Isaiah:--
The wolf shall abide with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the calf, and the young lion, and the sheep together and a little child shall lead them (Isa. 11:6);
"Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk."
Milk is a symbol of the higher spiritual mind, do not seethe or boil the kid ( the mind that has not yet developed and ego) DO NOT destroy this mind. It is the kid, the mind in the becoming. The kid and children of men are the same thing, they are SYMBOLS.
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk (Exod. 23:19; 34:26); where by the first-fruits of the ground ( the ground is a symbol of the lower mind) , which they were to bring into the house of Jehovah, is signified the state of innocence which is in infancy; and by not seething a kid in its mother's milk, that they should not destroy the innocence of infancy of the divine thoughts. Because, in the internal sense they cohere together.
" Don't be a minister of the letter, for the letter ( literal reading Kills) but of the SPIRIT, because the spiritual understanding gives life and meaning to the scriptures.
So then there is the real meaning of the TEN commandments written by MOSES, Moses is a symbol of the higher intellect in us all. God speaking through our higher mind, written in our consciousness.
kid, sheep, she-goat, ram, a he-goat, a bullock, an ox, a horse and camel; are simply symbols of the mind, depending on the context of the verse, the meaning becomes clear.
You didn’t know that did you. There’s a lot in the bible you don’t know.
34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Wait a minute! WHO wrote the words? God said “I will write”; this verse says Moses wrote. Another piece of nonsense!
34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he (Moses?) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Read that carefully. Here is the bible stating in no uncertain terms that the above commandments are the REAL 10 commandments as dictated, (“write thou these words”), by God to Moses.
34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
34:4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Exodus 34:14-26
Exodus 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Wait a minute! WHO wrote the words? God said “I will write”; this verse says Moses wrote.I bet you never heard that from a preacher or religious person.
34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he (Moses?) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Read that carefully. Here is the bible stating in no uncertain terms that the below commandments are the REAL 10 commandments as dictated, (“write thou these words”), by God to Moses.
Why did God have Moses write the second set of commandments, when God wrote the first ones that Moses broke, this is a hightly metaphysical riddle, we will get to that later, first lets translate the second set written by Moses.
Remember these are symbolic of things that go on in ones field of consciousness.
THE REAL TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Worship means to have reverence and adoration, it doesn't mean to grovel at the feet of some deity, we know that the right hemisphere of the brain is gods pleasant portion, we are simply to have reverence to this right side, which is the higher Christ/God mind.
God is jealous when we go whoring after otherg Gods, these other gods are the desires of the flesh, the intellect and the emotions, when we live in EGO consciousness we are serving these other Gods.
2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
Molten means fused or liquefied by heat, when the heat and passions of the lower mind are active in our daily conscious thinking, we are making molten gods.
3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
Unleavened bread is a symbol of the purity of consciousness, it is not corrupted by the puffed up pride of the ego ( yeast), so we are to consume higher quality thoughts Unleavened) at all times. The Seven days are symbols of the Seven Chakras that must be energized by the kundalini in our meditation.
Abib
The seventh month of the Jewish year, equivalent to Nisan of the modern Jewish calendar. Ex. 34:18.
Again Abib is referencing the Seven chakras, Egypt is operating from the lower self or egoic consciousness.
Month
Month is 12, we have 12 cranial nerves in our brains that must be energized by the flow of electrical current up the spine, throught the Seven chakras
4. All that openeth the matrix is mine. But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
The matris is a womb, it is the birth place of the new mind, but first we must open this womb in our meditation, the firstlings of an ass is a symbol of the animal nature that must be redeemed by the lamb, the lamb of god that takes away the sins of the world, on the physiological chart it is the pineal gland of the brain, thats the redeemer ( lamb ).
To break the neck means to cut off the currents that flow from the lower self, as the neck is the symbolic cut off point, if you cant activate the lamb within, then break the neck, cut off the currents/impulses from the emotions coming from the lower self.
5. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
The sixth day is the activating of the sixth chakra, the pineal gland of the brain, the seventh is the crown chakra, after the crown chakra is open, then rest from all of your meditative work.
6. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
This one takes more explanation.
The Feast of Weeks is the second of the three “solemn feasts”
Since the Feast of Weeks was one of the “harvest feasts,” the Jews ( those that seek within ) were commanded to “present an offering of new grain to the Lord” (Leviticus 23:16). This offering was to be “two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
Along with the “wave offerings” they were also to offer seven first-year lambs that were without blemish along with one young bull and two rams. Additional offerings are also prescribed in Leviticus and the other passages that outline how this feast was to be observed.
Another important requirement of this feast is that, when the Jews harvested their fields, they were required to leave the corners of the field untouched and not gather “any gleanings” from the harvest as a way of providing for the poor and strangers (Leviticus 23:22).
The Feast of Weeks takes place exactly 50 days after the Feast of Firstfruits. It normally occurs in late spring, either the last part of May or the beginning of June. Unlike other feasts that began on a specific day of the Hebrew calendar, this one is calculated as being “fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath” (Leviticus 23:15–16; Deuteronomy 16:9–10).
"And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest The firstfruits are the first of the higher divine thoughts that one manifests within their awakening state after having opened the seven seals or chakras, this is the wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end."
Ingathering is a symbol of the consciousness of a person manifesting the higher divine thoughts, when we are operating from the higher state of mind. The pineal gland is complete at the 49th day, the 50 ( pentecost ) menas five, itis a symbol of the overcoming of the five senses in the meditative state, the sevent sabbath also means the crown chakra, as the word Sabbath means seven.
Wheat is a symbol of the staff of life, it is the bread, which is the word of god stamped in our consciousness.
Year again represents the energized 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
This offering was to be “two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
A JEW ( those that seek within ) were commanded to “present an offering of new grain to the Lord” (Leviticus 23:16). The grain is a symbol of the higher self and the thoughts that proceed from the higher conscious mind.
“two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
The word EPAPH means basket, this basket is the physical head or temple which houses both the left and right hemisphers of the brain, hence TWO wave loaves, a wave offering is made by the pineal to the higher divine impulses from the cosmos, see wave offering elsewhere.
Why two tenths, because two represents both hemispheres of the brain, it is two tenths of what is inside your head ( the apeph) or human head.
the tenth part of an ephah (as in the RSV), equal to an omer or six pints. The recovered leper, to complete his purification, was required to bring a trespass, a sin, and a burnt offering, and to present a meal offering, a tenth deal or an omer of flour for each, with oil to make it into bread or cakes ( Leviticus 14:10
The secret is the number six, it is the number of mans waking conscious state, it means doctrine, religious brain washing etc...man was created on the SIXth day.
Two tenths is TWO Omers or two times six which is 12, again referencing the 12 cranial nerves of the brain, the 12 stones of the Jordan river.
1 Chronicles 9:32. Twelve cakes — Representing the twelve tribes, the 12 cranial nerves. Two tenth-deals shall be in one cake — That is, two omers, or two tenth parts of an ephah, consisting of about six quarts of English measure, Exodus 16:36.
24:1-9 The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world. The Christ consciousness.
7. Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
Thrice or three always is a symbol of new life, the 3 days in the tomb, the 3 days of the winter solstice, the 3 days in the belly of the great fish etc..
Year again here are the 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
men in the bible means mind, it comes Mentes, Latin for mind.
Men children,, a child is devoid of ego and is pure in heart and mind, so here it is saying that those that exhibit pure thoughts, higher divine thoughts are menchildren.
It is only this higher divine mind that can see god, god is not subjest to the carnal mind and neither can he be, he is only subjest to the mind that becomes as a child.
8. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
Blood is a symbol of the life force, the life force is the electrical energy of the body, do not mix the life force with Leaven, leaven is a symbol of the thoughts of the lower egoic mind.
The feast of the passover is when ones mind and consciousness has passed over from the lower to the higher, devoid of EGO, don't leave this until morning, morning is a symbol of the first dawning of the higher conscious state, day is the fully enlightened mind. Don't wait to sacrafice the leaven, do it evberyday in your meditation.
9. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.
Again the FIRST fruits are thi first of the thigher divine thoughts that come from the renewed min, when one has had the passover within themselves. The HOUSE is the center of ones consciousness, in the mid brain. Gos dwells in temples made WITHOUT hand sayeth the prophet.
10. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
kids and she-goats signify innocence, purity and truth.
It was also commanded that the curtain of the tent over the tabernacle should be made of the wool of she-goats (Exod. 25:4; 26:7; 35:5, 6, 23, 26; 36:14), for a sign that all the holy things therein represented derived their essence from innocence.
By the wool of she-goats is signified the ultimate or outermost of the innocence that is in ignorance, such as exists with the Gentiles and who in the internal sense are the curtains of the tabernacle.
From all this it is evident what and of what quality are the truths of good that are signified by the two good kids of the she-goats concerning which Rebekah his mother spoke unto Jacob her son, namely, that they are those of innocence or of infancy.
Seetthe
A person that is filled with intense but unexpressed anger.

This is the boiloing over of the lower mind or the lower emotions, the mind that is quick to anger, one has reached a boiling point as they say, the manifestation of the ego in ones conscious waking mind.

34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he (Moses?) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Read that carefully. Here is the bible stating in no uncertain terms that the above commandments are the REAL 10 commandments as dictated, (“write thou these words”), by God to Moses.
According to Exodus 32;20, Moses made the people drink water contaminated with the toxic powder from the ashes of the golden calf, seemingly for the purpose of fatally poisoning all who had worshiped the golden calf. And then he turned brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor. Some loving God what?
According to Exodus 32:35, God sent a plague upon the people,
According to Deut 9:21, Moses threw the toxic ashes into a brook so that the waters would carry the ashes into oblivion—without anyone being made to drink a concocted toxic beverage.
According to Exodus 32:35, God sent a plague upon the people,
According to Deut 9:21, Moses threw the toxic ashes into a brook so that the waters would carry the ashes into oblivion—without anyone being made to drink a concocted toxic beverage.
This is symbolic of God killing out the thoughts that arise from doubt and fear that stem from ego consciousness, this mind has to be poisoned, because it is poisoning you.
TEN PLAGUES
The ten famous plagues that are recorded in the Torah (Ex. 7:14-12:36), are not to be viewed as merely a set of supernatural occurrences that destroyed the Egyptian empire around 3,300 years ago.
The Torah is a blueprint for life, a manual for the development of the human race not merely a record of ancient tales.
The episodes recorded in the Torah represent timeless, spiritual tales occurring continuously in the heart of each man.
How are we then to apply the remote story of the ten plagues to our personal lives and your Soul?
The Kabbala teaches that every human soul is comprised of ten points of energy, ten characteristics that make up its inner "personality".
The first three form the super-conscious identity of the soul and its cognitive powers. The final seven constitute the emotional persona of the soul.
These ten characteristics, also known as the ten sefirot, ten emanating lights, are depicted in Kabbala in the following manner:
Hebrew Name English Name
Keter The super-conscious
Chochma Conception
Bina Intelligence
Chesed Love
Gevura Rejection
Tiferet Compassion
Netzach Ambition
Hod Submission
Yesod Bonding
Malchut Confidence
Every one of us has been given a choice in life.
We may either refine these ten attributes so that they express our inner divine light, or we may pervert and corrupt these very attributes by using them in unhealthy and immoral ways.
Ancient Egypt, with its demonic program of systematically eliminating an entire people, the Hebrews, from the face of the earth, chose to embark on the latter path.
In our personal lives, Egypt reflects a state of psychological dysfunction, in which one or more of the soul's attributes become distorted and dysfunctional, hindering a human being's ability for true self-actualization and fulfillment.
This is indicated in the Hebrew name for Egypt, Mitzrayim, which may be translated as "inhibitions" or "constraints". When we fail to confront our own demons, our perverted attributes can return to us too in the form of psychological plagues.
Be sure and watch the video below, it is from the youtuber Jacob Israel, and it's very good.
TEN PLAGUES
Plague Attribute
Blood Confidence
Frogs Bonding
Swarm Ambition
Epidemic Compassion
Boils Rejection
Hail Love
Locusts Intelligence
Darkness Conception
Death of Super-Conscious
First-Born
Blood - Destructive Confidence
The first plague, in which the Nile River turned into blood, was a physical symbol of the destructive confidence that became the hallmark of Egypt ( psychologically ).
Instead of a constructive confidence that builds one's spiritual character and fosters sensitivity to others.
"Egyptian" confidence breeds dominance and exploitation. The Ego mind, red is a symbol of emotions.
When one's perception of confidence becomes truly corrupt by the emotions, it can lead to generating rivers of blood. An out of control mind, sets in motion much destruction.
The waters of the Nile turning into blood reflected the perverse state of the MIND which turns its confidence into blood, using its position of strength and power to slaughter and butcher countless innocent human beings.
Frogs - Cold Intimacy
The second plague, in which swarms of frogs inundated Egypt, symbolizes the cold and dispassionate intimacy which characterizes a man living in a psychological Egypt.
Frogs are cold-blooded amphibious creatures that hatch in cold environments.
Female frogs usually deposit their eggs into water where they hatch into tadpoles. Some frogs attach their eggs to water plants; others lay the eggs in damp moss or attach them to the limbs or leaves of trees overhanging the water.
Land-dwelling frogs deposit their eggs in cool, moist holes. Due to this, and to the fact that eggs deposited in this fashion receive no parental protection, frogs reflect in the Kabalah an emotional state of apathy, detachment and coldness.
This condition robs a human being of the ability to experience genuine emotional intimacy with any other person a spouse, a child or a friend. The frogs are also a symbol of religious authority, as they continue to croak, and spew their evil filth.
(This brings to mind an anecdote.
A man was once asked, "What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?" To which he replied, "I don't know and I don't care.")
Lice; Unhealthy Submission
The third plague, in which the dust of Egypt turned into lice, reflects the symptoms of unhealthy submission.
This attribute, like all aspects of the soul, may either be productive or destructive. To forever remain a humble student of life's lessons is one of the noblest character traits an individual can possess.
The ability to surrender one's ego to a higher truth is the foundation for all spiritual growth, as is the capacity to confess to an error or a wrongdoing.
"May my soul be like dust," is a daily Jewish prayer, expressing our wish that we remain humble in the presence of life's mysteries.
That is healthy humility and submission.
Destructive "Egyptian" submission is a humility that crushes one's spirit and dulls its zest for life.
In this type of submission, where one thinks of himself as a worthless inconsequential creature, the perception of the self as useless dust develops into lice that demoralize and debase one's life.
Like lice, this type of humility sucks out a person's blood, depriving him of his vitality and energy-flow.
The holy Rabbi Aaron of Karlin put it in these words:
"Depression is not a sin; yet what depression does, no sin can do."
Devouring Beasts, Wild Ambition
The fourth plague, in which a swarm of devouring beasts attacked Egypt, is the physical symbol of unhealthy ambition.
Ambition is one of the greatest gifts in life. It is the engine that drives man to achieve greatness and make a difference in the world.
Yet if we do not refine this character trait, our ambitions can turn us into "devouring beasts" that crush and destroy the people we perceive standing in the way of the fulfillment of our goals.The beast is the ego driven consciousness that must be killed, these are the workers of the ego.
Epidemic; Sly Compassion
The fifth plague, in which an epidemic annihilated the Egyptians' cattle, served as the physical embodiment of the attribute of sly compassion, which, like an epidemic, harms people silently and inconspicuously.
The cattle of the Egyptians are symbolic of the beasts in the field of the psyche, these beasts do the bidding of the lower egoic thoughts ( the Egyptians ), cattle are representative of the emotions active in the mind, that must be transmuted from the lower egyptians to the Israel cattle, the higher emotions of love and compassion.
What is compassion?
The Kabalah states that compassion is more powerful and enduring than love.
Love usually overlooks the flaws of a beloved one; therefore, when flaws do emerge, they may weaken the love, if not destroy it totally.
Compassion, on the other hand, takes into consideration all the flaws of the individual and extends a helping heart and hand notwithstanding.
This is moral compassion, the ability of a soul to experience the pain and the needs of its fellow man.
"Egyptian" compassion is sly, shrewd and deceitful, where the seducing quality of compassion is used in order to exploit people's weaknesses for selfish purposes and destructive goals.
When one uses compassion in this well-finessed manner, it inflicts damage on a person in the silent deadly way of an epidemic.
[The point becomes clearer when the epidemic plague is contrasted with the plague of hail that also annihilated the cattle of Egypt. (the lower mind)
The former occurred silently, while the latter was performed with lots of commotion (Zohar vol. 2 p. 31b).
The difference between the two is further indicated in the Hebrew names of the two plagues: "dever" (epidemic) and "barad" (hail).
Both words consist of the same three Hebrew letters, dalet-bet-reish. But while in the word dever the letter bet is softened, in the word barad it is not (Zohar ibid.). All of this reflects the nature of sly compassion, which kills softly.]
Boils; Brutal Rejection
The sixth plague, in which embers from a hot furnace were hurled over the land developing into boils on the skin of the Egyptian population, is the physical symbol of cruel rejection. The Hebrew term for this plague, shchin, implies heat.
In Kabalah, fire embodies the soul's capacity to reject. Just like fire, an act or verbal rebuff may "scorch" or even demolish the one who is rejected.
An additional connection between fire and rejection lies in the fact that fire surges upwards, moving away from earth.
Rejection too constitutes an act of traveling inward and upward into one's own world, removing one self from the people and the events around.
Yet a healthy soul needs to know how to reject just as it must know how to embrace.
One is often called upon to refuse a destructive urge, to sever an unhealthy relationship, to say no to a spoiled child or an unethical business offer.
That is healthy fire. It is a fire that destroys the negative in order to build the positive.
However, when our inner capacity for rejection turns into hate, bitterness and cruelty, the embers of our soul become a destructive force. Like boils, they infect our lives and the lives of people around us.
Hail; Frozen Love
Also symbolic of erroneous opinions and doctrine destroying truth and goodness. Does religion and Government come to mind?
The seventh plague, in which produce-destroying hail descended upon Egypt, is symbolic of selfish love.
If fire symbolizes rejection, water, naturally descending from a higher plane to a lower plane, embodies the qualities of generosity and loving-kindness.
In Kabbala, the flow of love is compared to a flow of water, irrigating and nourishing a human soul with its refreshing vibrancy.
Yet, a man who finds himself in "Egyptian" bondage knows only an icy love, a love that is based entirely on self-seeking motives and self-centered considerations.
This person's rain-like flow of love becomes cold and frozen like hail, harming his loved ones instead of nurturing them.
[This explains the mystical significance behind the fact that the hail that fell in Egypt had burning flames within it (Ex. 9:24).
The cold and icy individual is also aflame - he is fired with self-love and ablaze with egotistical passions.
Indeed, it is his excess of inner heat that is the cause of his icy exterior.
Thus, the hail that fell in Egypt, icy without and fiery within, reflected the nature of "Egyptian" love:
coldness displayed toward other people coupled with warmth displayed toward one's self.]
Seven and Three, From Heart to Mind
It is no coincidence that the first seven plagues are recorded in one section of the Bible (Vayera), while the final three plagues are recorded in another (Bo).
The first seven plagues, blood, frogs, lice, devouring beasts, epidemic, boils and hail, reflected the Egyptian perversion of the seven emotions, confidence, bonding, submission, ambition, compassion, rejection and love.
The last three plagues, locust, darkness and the death of the first-born, represent the more severe corruption of the intellectual faculties and super-conscious dimension of the Egyptian soul.
When one's emotions and instincts are impaired, the sane and objective mind offers hope for healing.
Yet when one's mind starts playing ugly games, the path toward recovery becomes painstakingly challenging.
Locust; Perverted Intelligence
The eighth plague, in which invading locusts left no greenery in their path, serves as a symbol of the destructive consequences of a corrupted mind.
Locusts are a symbol of facts of experience for the development of the mind and the moral nature.
The ability of intellectual inquiry and scrutiny remains the singular most precious gift of the human race.
It allows us to explore the universe, improve our lives and discover the higher moral calling of the human family.
Yet the very same power may serve as a tool to rationalize every evil practiced under the sun and to justify every destructive lifestyle or habit.
Like the locust that consumed all existing plants of Egypt, leaving in its wake barren soil, the corrupt mind can uproot every existing moral structure and established sacred foundation, leaving in its wake a desolate society bereft of spiritual values and absolute principles.
This is the tragedy of Egypt like intellectualism, where one becomes so open minded that his brains fall out.
Darkness: A Locked Mind
The ninth plague, in which a thick darkness enveloped all of Egypt, reflects the inability of the inhibited "Egyptian" soul to actualize its faculty of conception.
Egypt being a symbol of the lower mind or lower self, the darkness over Egypt is a symbol of God, the higher self overpowering the EGO, Egypt. Egypt is the lower mental plane, with it's knowledge of things os this world, not the upper world, but the world below, the sense and desire nature.
This is the ability of one's mind to conceive a new and original idea that had been previously inaccessible.
How? By the mind keenly realizing its limitations and borders, suspending its intellectual ego and opening itself up to a higher light, the previously inaccessible truth can emerge and illuminate the newly created vacuum.
When one is arrogant and smug, he deprives his mind of the ability to experience illumination, forcing himself to remain in darkness, constricted forever to a narrow vision of life. Staying in the matrix of life, instead of opening up to the reality of the light, that is within thee.
Death of Firstborn Death of Identity
The tenth and final plague, the death of every Egyptian first-born, was the most devastating of all.
The FIRST born is a symbol of the unmanifest god. The higher self, the first emanation of spirit from the absolute. The first born represents living at the animal level, the reptilian brain stem, all the first born must die, so the second born ( christ consciousness, Jacob, can prevail in your mind, in your waking conscious state.
It reflected the fact that the Egyptian abuse of the soul did not only affect its conscious faculties, but went on to distort and destroy its super-conscious forces as well.
In the Kabala, the first-born is symbolic of the initial instincts and motives of a soul that lie beneath the surface of the conscious self.
That dimension of the personality is naturally more difficult to violate because it is hidden and inaccessible. But a lifestyle of ongoing addiction and abuse will ultimately bring about the death of the first-born - the death of the super-conscious element of one's soul.
This was the final "bullet" that put an end to the vicious cycle of Egyptian addiction and abuse.
With this plague the Jewish people were set free and were well on their way to receive the Ten Commandments.
What are the Ten Commandments? They correspond to the ten plagues. They are the same and have the same basic meanings.
Just as the plagues reflect the perversion of the ten faculties of the soul, the Ten Commandments represent the path of spiritual healing in each of these ten faculties, allowing them to express the harmony and splendor of man's divine essence.
SEVEN DEADLY SINS
The Seven Deadly Sins,in light of the Greek original. Keep Dark Doctrines in mind here. I’ll say it all in plain, concrete talk so that it WILL BE recognized.
1. GREED: It does NOT mean that if you need a car to get to work, you want one and work for one and then get one. In fact, a person can have many material things and NOT be greedy. It is the INNER WAY a person WANTS,
Nothing is ever enough, nothing satisfies: "their desires are INFINITE!"
They need more and more and strive uphill to gather more and more in order to fill up an empty hole they FEEL within.
2. SLOTH: Stagnation. A person can lay around all day and not be slothful.
By the same token, a person can jog and keep himself busy and BE slothful. Sloth is stagnation, the inability or refusal to change, move on, flow on in life, and harmony (mentally). Slothful, not acting on your intuitions, which are god given in the gut.
3. AVARICE: Malice. A person wanting revenge for a wrong done is not avaricious; the feeling passes away.
This means hate-FILLED, always angry, dour, grumpy, malicious. These people do not have a quiet mind. It goes right back to self-hate, an inner thing.
4. PRIDE: Does not mean that e.g., you are poor and lack an education, and then you improve yourself in practical life and feel good about it, or "proud."
Pride is where you WANT, DESIRE to BE something you are unable to be; or you pretend to be this like a Sage on the Stage which leads to the Will to Lie, to yourself and everyone else, again, an inner thing.
The prideful person will stubbornly try to do something he is obviously not able to do and fight an uphill battle trying to BE what he is NOT.
This leads to him being jealous of anyone else that IS able.
5. JEALOUSY: This is certainly not when you see someone else with something and it gives you a good idea to get one yourself. Far from it. Jealousy goes hand in hand with avarice, greed and pride.
Jealousy is simply SELF HATE - no matter what excuses anyone makes for it. It can include a suffocating possessive quality as if the jealous person imagines he or she can OWN another person. It turns love into love/hate - which is HATE.
6. GLUTTONY: Almost the same as lust (see below), except with food. Hunger that stems from the mental obsession with eating more and more despite the stomach NOT being in need of nourishment.
It’s a feeling of "empty stomach" that comes from the mind, not from the stomach.
When we try and become more than we can, when we want to skilled at all trades, but master of none, we can't focus on one thing, and bring that goal to fruition. we want to be like this person or that person, and do what he or she did. This is mental Gluttony.
Carnal appetites, constantly chasing things of the sense and desire nature, which stems from the lower mind. Trying to fill a void with outside things instead of turning inward.
"Even if you had certain talents in a previous incarnation, they will not reveal themselves in this incarnation if you do not exercise them. Sometimes someone discovers late on in life that they have an aptitude for a certain activity which they had not suspected. They are totally astonished and regret not having discovered it earlier. It is therefore important from a very early age to experience a wide variety of activities.
If you find you are no good at something, you can give it up, but at least you will not have to live with the regret of not having tried. If you are so inclined, it is always good to venture into something for which you have no particular aptitude, but if you are not succeeding at it, do not labour away stubbornly.
It is better to exercise the talents you already have than to waste your efforts on those you do not have and always to fail. You have to know where to invest your energies. Therefore, perfect the qualities and talents you already have, and if after that you still have time left, try to awaken in you others that you lack."

7. LUST: This has been the most misunderstood, distorted and twisted concept.
It doesn’t refer to any natural biological need - this is specifically stated in various places. In fact, in Timothy, Paul states that ANYONE preventing the natural union of male and female, or preaching against it, is a demon!
Here lusting refers chasing the things of the lower physical, she lusted after her mates genitals, the things of the lower carnal mind.
(He also says that anyone preaching not to eat animal meat is a demon!)
Lust means the same as epithymesai (see above). The genitals are NOT in demand of sexual union, testicles are not filled with sperm, women is not ovulating.
Doctrine: there is no full orgasmic RELEASE (of kundalini) with mental sex (and some people CAN FEEL the difference!)
Also implied in Christianity is that these people who do "mental lust" somehow KNOW something is "wrong" with them.
Paul states that, for some reason, the greatest pleasure such mental-sex types have is in coercing someone NOT like them, to BECOME like them. Interesting!
Every Bible verse has a psychological, metaphysical, scientific, philosophical and mystical interpretation.
Each letter has twenty-two different meanings and significations.
Reading the Bible as a history of humanity is only a first step. It is filled with allegories, and taken as a whole, serves as a metaphor for the experiences of all Living Souls.
The plagues, described in Exodus, tell the story of the soul’s travail and unfoldment while passing once around the Zodiacal Wheel in twelve incarnations.
The Land of Egypt, metaphorically represents everything in the human body below the diaphragm, organs, nerves and systems.
The Promised Land symbolizes the human brain as renewed as the new Jerusalem. The Garden of Eden includes the head, everything from the collar bones to the crown.
The Children of Israel carried a bit of everything they had learned on earth from the beginning, and had taints of every kind, due to their heterogenous background.
Egypt was familiar, a home to them.
They had consorted with the Egyptians ( the lower mind) for generations, lost their rituals, worshiped idols and pagan gods, and eaten ritually unclean food.
Three different phases of enslavement of Imagination, Thinking and Desire enmeshed them, and they had soul taints.
Moses (the intellect) told them they had to leave Egypt (the lower mind) to worship and serve the One God in the wilderness (meditation) which represents coming to terms with self.
Many among them must have doubted, wondering why they had to leave Egypt. Most of us are still in Egypt, we just don't know it.
They must have entered the wilderness in rebellion against Moses. How they must have complained!
It took Moses forty days ( SEE THE ARCHIVE FOR THE MEANING OF THE NUMBER 40) to get the tribes out of Egypt, but it took wandering forty years in the wilderness to get Egypt out of Israel!
The elders of the tribes, who had lived under Egyptian rule, were all dead by the time the Israelites reached the Promised Land (higher mind).
God sent the plagues to teach both the Egyptians and the Israelites.
Through a careful analysis, we can discover what Laws Egypt disobeyed to cause the plagues.
Israel (god's chosen light) had to witness the plagues to "see" and understand who God is!
The plagues showed Egypt and Israel that God is God.
The Lord deliberately hardened Pharaoh’s heart before each plague and multiplied His signs and wonders because He wanted to make sure the Israelites would go with Moses, and that Egypt would know He was God.
They had to "see" the need for and to accept soul discipline.
The tribes would have turned back, if they had anything to return to, so God showed them how He could care for them.
Before the plagues (Exodus 7:1-13), God ordered Moses to have Aaron challenge the priests of Egypt by casting down his rod, which became a serpent. This is the mystical kundalini.
The Egyptian sorcerers and magicians did the same with their enchantments, but God caused Aaron’s rod to swallow their serpents.
The serpent is a symbol of Wisdom.
God performed this wonder to demonstrate how the Wisdom of the One God of Israel would absorb the lesser wisdom of other religions.
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE TEN PLAGUES
The First Plague: Water Changed to Blood
And the Lord said to Moses, "Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand. And you shall say to him.
The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness": but indeed, until now you would not hear. Thus says the Lord.
"By this you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and they shall be turned to blood. And the fish that are in the river shall die, the river shall stink, and the Egyptians will loathe to drink the water of the river." Then the Lord spoke to Moses, "Say to Aaron.
Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they may become blood.
And there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in buckets of wood, and in pitchers of stone."
Exodus 7:14-19
Blood represents regeneration and the fire element of life. Blood is the soul’s vehicle or sheath, which is why "the life is in the blood."
The first plague transformed the water of the Nile, Egypt’s streams and pools into blood, which represents degeneration, the soul’s regression from health, as in anemia, leukemia, or other blood ailments.
Metaphysically, three types of blood platelets (in the desire body) represent our phases of the Living Soul: Square, representing subsoul, triangular for egoic soul, and round platelets for Oversoul.
Each platelet is composed of soul substance, and has a "brain" to record our thoughts, emotions and desires, every negative.
The platelets regulate our emotions, thoughts and desires. Pure blood platelets ensure health. Impure platelets cause illness and disease.
At death, we transform our platelets and take their records with us. Thus, the blood reflects a "picture" of the individual, and records his progress.
The first three houses in the 1st Wheel of Ezekiel (Aries, Taurus and Gemini) represent the "Land of Egypt" in man, the abdominal cavity.
The second triad of houses (Cancer, Leo and Virgo) represents the "Promised Land," the thoracic cavity, from the diaphragm to the collar bones.
The wheel’s upper RIGHT hemisphere represents the "Garden of Eden," or "Paradise." We endure through Egypt (the sensory world) to reach the Promised Land (Divine Love).
The first plague is in Aries, the House of the Hidden Manna and the Holy Spirit.
The Degree is the Neophyte, whose vow is to make the body a fit dwelling for the soul.
The corresponding church, mentioned in Revelation 2:1-7, is Ephesus, which left its first love, of God, and fell from grace. It rules the sacrum chakra, the seat of Creative Fire at the base of the spine.
The Creative Fire runs along the pole of Spirit, the spinal column (called the "pole of Paracelsus"), from the sacrum to the crown chakra.
The Egyptians had forgotten the mysteries of the soul’s immortality, which Isis and Osiris had taught them.
They had allowed their religion to degenerate into a "cult of death." Many Israelites had forgotten the One God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Israel and Egypt both were worshiping false gods.
Misuse of the Creative Fire caused the first plague. Turning water into blood symbolizes the degradation of purity, cutting off the Power of the Holy Spirit from the sacrum chakra.
Both Egypt and Israel had cut off the etheric currents and the Holy Spirit.
They worshipped idols, had fallen from their "high place" and shut the crown chakra, called the "first love."
The plague’s purpose was to teach Egypt and Israel to look up, to listen and become clean, to pay attention to their Neophyte Vows and physical regeneration.
Egypt had to let the Holy Spirit in, and return to their original belief in the immortality of the soul.
Israel had to accept the law given through Moses, become one again with the God of their forefathers and leave the fleshpots of Egypt.
Israel must again surrender and accept, to turn again to God fully and move up to Paradise.
The Egyptian magicians could also convert water to blood, so God again hardened Pharaoh’s heart.
His priests could not, however, reconvert the blood into water, and the Egyptian people were forced to dig for water for seven days.
The Second Plague: Frogs
And the Lord spoke to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve Me. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs.
So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants.’"
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, "Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt."
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:1-7
Frogs belong to the water element. Symbolically they represent the emotional life and "human nature."
Emotional abnormalities manifest as dropsy, diabetes, swelling, edema and glandular problems.
Frogs from the Nile infested the Egyptians’ homes, bedrooms, beds, ovens and kneading bowls. The mystical interpretation of the bedroom and bed describes the physical misuse of the Creative Fire, which influenced the whole Egyptian environment.
They used kneading bowls and ovens to make bread, which represent the process of Assimilation. Bread symbolizes Spiritual Substance, which Egypt misused emotionally.
Overeating causes an upset (swelling, the frog’s nature) at the stomach center (the navel chakra) and results in no Assimilation, no body perfection.
The second plague (Exodus 8:1-15) takes place in Taurus and the church of Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11), where people said one thing and lived in the opposite manner.
The Spirit told Smyrna to fear nothing worldly, but to ascend higher in consciousness. If they were faithful for the ten days they were cast in prison, they would receive the crown of life, which represents the Creative Fire, ascending from imprisonment at the sacrum, to the splenic chakra.
Taurus is the House of Fertility for Israel. To Egypt it represented the Nile inundation that fertilized their fields.
The Disciple Degree is under Taurus, and the vow is to Surrender to become the servant of all Power.\
When we enslave the Creative Fire to the outer senses, it cannot "water" the chakras, and we are infertile.
God compelled Egypt to awaken and free the Creative Fire to become the Flame of God. He advised Israel to live as Children of God, to Accept and Surrender to the One God, to return to their Father’s house.
Taurus rules the neck. Swelling in the neck represents a frog’s nature. Pharaoh swelled with pride and stubbornness, so even this plague did not convince Egypt.
The Egyptian magicians also could conjure frogs, though they were unable to dismiss them. Pharaoh begged Moses to ask God to rid them of the plague. When God caused the frogs to die, Pharaoh again hardened his heart.
The Third Plague: Lice
So the Lord said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, "Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become lice throughout the land of Egypt."
And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Now the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God." But Pharaoh's heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.
Exodus 8:16-19
The dust of the land became lice and afflicted man and beast in this plague, which represents stability and the earth element, the heavy, rich earth of Egypt.
Lice represent all lesser negative thoughts that upset emotions and bring fear and doubt.
Stability is not stagnation, but looking up, not up and down, not blowing hot then cold. The lice upset stagnant emotions.
The lice plague is under Gemini the Adept, who vows to be selfless in releasing Power, not using Power. The church is Pergamos (Revelation 2:12-17), called the seat of Satan.
The navel chakra, the seat of intellectual self-will is the seat of Satan.
At Pergamos they worshiped false gods and ate food sacrificed to idols, which defiled Mosaic Law. To repent, we eat of the hidden manna, to open the pineal and to receive the white stone and open the Illumination faculty.
Gemini is the Division of the Twins, positive and negative, hot and cold. It is the House of Faith for Israel and the House of Control for Egypt, the Adept in the Land of Egypt.
We are still in the Land of Egypt here, but it takes burning Desire to repent to enter the Promised Land. Lice made Israel desire to ascend from adeptship in Egypt.
This plague showed Egypt the limits of control and adeptship, and awakened the Unconquerable Faith of Israel, governed by stability, not hot or cold, up or down.
The Egyptian magicians could imitate the first two plagues but they couldn’t duplicate this one. The Gemara, a commentary on Hebrew Law in the Talmud, states that "the Egyptians, as magicians, could not produce lice because they were unable to produce by imitation anything smaller than a barley corn."
Moses and Aaron began at the bottom with the miracle of small lice and ascended in the Power God gave them. They were, of course, letting God use them for His Honor and Glory, whereas the Egyptian magicians used the lowest form of adeptship.
They could not initiate a miracle, but could only use illusion to imitate what they saw.
Adepts draw from the Psychic Plane records just above earth and imitate the reflections of what true initiates do in the Heavenly Realms above the planes.
A reflection does nothing, but a miracle is an act of creation. Even the magicians said, "This is the finger of God," yet God hardened Pharaoh’s heart.
The Fourth Plague: Swarms of Flies
And the Lord said to Moses, "Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water. Then say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, Let My people go, that they may serve Me. Or else, if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants, on your people and into your houses.
The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand. And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the land.
And I will make a difference between My people and your people.
Tomorrow this sign shall be.’" And the Lord did so. Thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was corrupted because of the swarm of flies.
Exodus 8:20-24
The fourth plague (Exodus 8:20-32) was a swarm of flies. Winged insects represent the air element, and they symbolize doubts and thoughts of fear. Wrong thinking created the flies, not emotions.
The fourth plague covers Cancer, Leo and Virgo in the Wheel of Ezekiel, signs which representing the stomach, heart and lungs. Israel had ascended to the Promised Land of the heart chakra, to live by "I AM" consciousness.
Cancer is the House of Choice and it rules the stomach. Leo is the House of Honor, the fifth house of freedom to release the past, and it rules the heart. Virgo is the House of the Bread of Life, and represents the lungs and the Inspiration faculty.
We must synchronize the function of heart and lungs to have perfect balance in the stomach. We say, "I have butterflies in my stomach." Butterflies have wings. The previous plague of lice had upset their stagnant emotions, but this one caused even Pharaoh to have second thoughts!
The Mystic Degree covers these three divisions and the vow is to maintain a shining Golden Silence, undisturbed by vagrant thoughts.
The church of Thyatira covers these houses (Revelation 2:18-29). Thyatira listened to the teachings of Jezebel, the false prophetess of Baal, and ate foods sacrificed to idols. The adultery they committed symbolizes the misuse of Creative Fire.
The Spirit promises the morning star to the Israelite who overcomes. The morning star represents the Oversoul Star, which releases the Rays of Wisdom and Love, balanced as Compassion. A strong Star of Destiny governs us when our Oversoul descends to rule the physical body.
Israel was to learn to choose to be obedient. Egypt continued in false doctrine and misuse and received what their works had earned. This plague was to teach Egypt and Pharaoh to overcome stubbornness in their heart.
God ordered Moses to tell Aaron to stretch his rod to commence the first three plagues. This time God ordered Moses simply to announce the time and the nature of the plague to Pharaoh. THE SPINE BECOMES THE MANIFESTATION OF THE KUNDALINI.
Israel dwelt in the district of Goshen. God severed that land from the swarms of flies, so they did not afflict Israel. Pharaoh said he would let the people go for three days if only the swarms of flies would end. When the plague ended, he of course hardened his heart.
The Fifth Plague: Pestilence on Cattle
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them, behold, the hand of the Lord will be on your cattle in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep – a very severe pestilence. And the Lord will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt.
So nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel." Then the Lord appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land." So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel not one died.
Exodus 9:1-6
This plague, which some scholars have theorized was probably anthrax, represents the lower animal nature and all overindulgence of self.
For instance, irritation and impatience manifests in idle words, since this is under the throat chakra.
Overindulgence in idle words causes a reaction of the Law of Force from the world, family and friends.
After the third plague, Israel had ascended to a state of grace. Egypt still lived in an unregenerate state, and wanted slaves to do their bidding.
This plague’s lesson is on the 18th Yetzirah Path of Life, the balance of inner and outer. It is the bloodstained Path of Spiritual Blindness that results in death in the material world.
The plague killed all the livestock of Egypt, but God protected Israel’s livestock with a wall of Light.
The death of their livestock represents Egypt living on the lower pole.
The 18th Path, on the lowest pole, explodes the atoms, releases life sparks and destroys form. Israel, whose livestock were unharmed, was living by the higher mental and soul faculties.
The fifth plague is in the upper hemisphere of the Wheel of Ezekiel, under Libra, the House of Law. The Law is the Word of the Lord, spoken by the Logos (the Word). The terms, "Lord" and "Law" are synonymous.
As we enter the Garden of Eden, we learn the first true freedom, which comes through illumination from above.
The Master vows to be responsible for all about him.
God was teaching Egypt to learn obedience to Divine Law, while he taught Israel the powerful effects of disobedience – the plague destroyed all Egypt’s livestock. The animal nature.
Disobedience can destroy the value of the food we eat. When food upsets the digestion, look for disobedience. Israel was learning to return to the Logos, the Word of the One God, the Law.
This plague covers the church of Sardis, where some were physically alive, but spiritually dead (Revelation 3:1-6). Israel was learning to be watchful, to strengthen their faith. "Be watchful" advises Israel to be ready to move instantly. Here we strengthen what remains,
yet is ready to die of malnutrition caused by idle words. Worthy ones walk in white raiment when they attain purity of speech. Egypt was learning purity of purpose instead of treachery.
The Sixth Plague: Boils
So the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, "Take for yourselves handfuls of ashes from a furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh.
And it will become fine dust in all the land of Egypt, and will cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt."
Then they took ashes from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them toward heaven.
And they caused boils that break out in sores on man and beast.
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
Exodus 9:8-11
God ordered Moses and Aaron to throw ashes into the air in Pharaoh’s sight.
The falling ashes caused a plague of boils on man and beast.
Ashes represent dross, burned from the lower or "human nature."
Ashes also symbolize our last regrets, and sorrow about giving up pride and self.
When we lift our ashes of self in surrender, and let them blow away as smoke, we have no more frustrations or sorrow.
The Egyptian magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils.
Boils represent hidden emotional frustrations that cause impurities in the bloodstream.
The action of boils cleanses the blood and the emotions.
Boils represent a physical, bodily revolution, the casting out of impurities, and this affliction was supposed to "boil" out impurities.
The church of Revelation (Sardis), the Degree (the Master), and the chakra (the throat) remains the same as under Libra.
Yet this plague is under the sign of Scorpio, the sign of death, the Division of Transformation.
The initiate seeking Mastery under Libra tends to "notice" other people’s lack of responsibility.
When practicing Mastery under Scorpio, we begin to understand that by being responsible for what comes to us in life, we assume more responsibility, thus growing in Mastery.
Scorpio is also called the House of the Altar of Resurrection. Israel was to build their altar and remember that the Lord is One God.
Egypt was to cleanse itself of corruption, which leads to death, and Pharaoh had to burn away his stubborn pride.
Seventh Plague: Hail
And Moses stretched out his rod (spine) toward heaven;(the brain) and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire darted to the ground.
And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very heavy that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
And the hail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
Exodus 9:23-26
The plagues were ten miracles God performed through Moses. In Exodus 9:23-35 God ordered Moses to stretch his rod toward Heaven and He sent thunder, hail and fire to run along the ground.
Thunder, hail and fire represent crystallized imagination, emotions and thinking, in that order. Hail is frozen water and symbolizes emotion crystallized into prejudices and opinions that produce paralysis.
Thinking is fire that burns and churns crystallized emotions.
The low pole of crystallized imagination creates thundering, destructive pictures.
Hail is under Sagittarius, the House of Ascension and Conquering to Ascend.
Sagittarius is a fire sign. We must heat, melt and absorb all crystallization.
For Egypt and Israel both, this represents the need to awaken Love and Compassion.
The hail told Israel to dissolve its hatred of Egypt.
No matter what sign we were born in, we conquer in Sagittarius.
Only in Israel’s land of Goshen was there no hail.
Goshen means "place of rest." Here the temptation is to rest on promises instead of ascending.
Pharaoh represents the subconscious mind, which promises repeatedly to let go.
Pharaoh began to fear the God of Israel. Here the mortal, subconscious mind begins to recognize its errors – Pharaoh began to promise to let Israel go.
Hail is under the Priest Degree and the brow chakra. The Priest gathers all good from past experience and then forges ahead.
The brow chakra rules "seeing." Knowing what destruction the previous plagues caused, Pharaoh still refused to learn from the experience and "see" what he must do.
The hail and fire ruined the flax and barley crops that were ready for harvest.
Destruction of the flax and barley represents Egypt reaping the whirlwind of self.
Wheat and rye represent Israel’s "crops" grown in accord with Law and Divine Will.
The wheat and rye were immature and were not ruined. The lesson for Egypt was to fear the One God of Israel, the only way to make them let go.
Israel, with its immature crops, was not yet prepared to leave.
This plague relates to the church of Philadelphia ("brotherly love"), which the Spirit told to "hold fast and let no man take your crown." This is under the Priest, who vows to remain pure in heart, mind and purpose.
The Initiation is to stand fast in the hour of temptation.
God was teaching Egypt to let go of self.
He was telling Israel to stand, know and love.
Love is the only ingredient that makes us strong enough to hold onto our crown. We combine the seventh plague with the sixth church, or seven plus six equals thirteen, the number of the Via Christa.
Eighth Plague: Locusts
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land – all that the hail has left."
So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt.
They were very severe; previously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall be such after them.
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left.
So there remained nothing green on the trees, or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 10:12-15
The plague of locusts was pure destruction to Egypt. God warned Pharaoh in advance that the locusts would eat everything left after the plague of hail. Winged locusts represent the servants of the Almighty who think high thoughts and surrender the lower mind in order to ascend.
First, hail must burn away opinions and prejudice, then we release all remaining doubts and fears.
God sent locusts to cleanse Egypt, the subconscious mind, of doubts and fears.
Pharaoh wanted to hang on and "try" to win. He brought the next two plagues on himself.
Locusts represent the clinging, tenacious hold of the subconscious mind over the soul.
They represent earth, although they have wings. Locusts eat everything until the earth is barren and dry as a bone.
Israel entered a period of purification under this plague. Pharaoh drove Moses and Aaron from his presence.
They were preparing for their sojourn in the wilderness.
This plague is under Capricorn, the House of the Father and an earth sign.
It is the Gate of the soul’s descent though the House of the Father to reach the House of the Mother of Earth in Cancer.
An east wind brought the locusts and a west wind took them away.
East represents resurrection and west represents ascension. Capricorn represents Israel’s victory through resurrection and ascension. Egypt tried to gain victory through force.
The church is Laodicea, where the Spirit cautions soul to buy gold tried in the fire.
The pituitary gland is gold, and the pineal is silver.
When Illumination strikes, it fills the pituitary and purifies the emotional life.
This is the subsoul, ascending from Egypt through the Promised Land to dwell in the Garden of Eden.
The trail from Libra through Capricorn is arduous, and filled with stumbling-blocks. We can weep and wait in Sagittarius, but the Fathers place us on a platform of Light so we can stand, fight and struggle. We can never fall all the way back once we pass through the Fires of Sagittarius.
This is the Christos Degree, whose vow is complete surrender of all self. The great conflict between subsoul and Oversoul rages in Capricorn but we reach a point where we cannot breathe without more truth. Here we become zealous and have illumination:
As we open the thousand-petaled lotus at the crown chakra, Light shines through the brow chakra to illumine the path.
Ninth Plague: Darkness for Three Days
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt."
So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Three are the number of the master glands in the brain. The Pineal, the Pituitary, and the Thalamus. Also three refers to living off of the Intellectual, the emotional and physical states, instead of the spiritual.
Exodus 10:21-23
The darkness (Exodus 10:21-29) was so thick that it could be felt. For three days Egypt could not move, yet Israel had light in their dwellings.
Three is the number of perfected personal expression. Three days is the time it takes to cleanse the subconscious mind and ascend to God.
Jesus said i will tear down the temples made with hands, and rebuild my new temple made without hands in three days.
Egypt had to learn to let go, so for them this was the Surrender of self-will and full Acceptance of Unconquerable Faith.
This meant a complete spiritual awakening for Israel, to light their dwellings.
We are living through this plague in the world now. We have light in our dwelling, yet darkness is without.
Darkness is under the Aquarius Division and the air element. Air (Aquarius is an air sign) represents the Mind of God as us.
Aquarius is the House of Vision, which represents the true opening of the mystical "third eye." Israel was living now by pure Vision. Egypt had to learn the lesson of blindness of self, and Is ra el had to learn of their full protection.
Pharaoh said that he would let Israel go under the threat of the seventh, eighth and ninth plagues, then changed his mind.
Israel still loved Egypt’s materiality, yet they wanted to return to God. The Law that governs this is "no man can serve two masters." We cannot serve both God and self.
This is the "I want, I try" stage.
Pharaoh wanted the herds and flocks of Israel. Aquarius represents the Lamb in Heaven, as Aries is the Lamb on earth.
No church of Revelation relates to the ninth or tenth plague because they represent worship of God alone.
Moses did not appear again before Pharaoh after Pharaoh threatened him. He no longer needed Aaron or his rod either.
He just stretched forth his hand to bring the darkness. God ordered Moses to command Aaron to raise the rod so that He might impel the Children of Israel to let Moses and Aaron lead them.
Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn
"So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt.
Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger, or a native of the land.
You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread." Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out the door of his house until the morning.
For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two door posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.
It shall come to pass, when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, just as He promised, that ye shall keep this service.
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt,
when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households." So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
Then the children of Israel went away and did so, just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.
So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
Exodus 12:17-30
Before each plague, Moses received the Law and told Aaron what to do. When it came to the death of the firstborn, Moses and Aaron stepped aside, for only the Father could perform this plague.
The firstborn represents the soul’s true preferences, Our first thoughts that arise out of the emotional mind, such as possession of persons and things.
Egypt’s firstborn represents their desire for using Power as self-will and creating force.
The destructive, selfish use of Power leaves the egoic soul in bondage to the subsoul, then conflict rages between subsoul and Oversoul.
This is the true meaning of Israel held in bondage in the Land of Egypt. By this time, Israel preferred loyalty to God and letting Power use them over using self-will as force.
Before the death of the firstborn, God told Israel to borrow gold and silver from their neighbors; Egypt was glad to give them anything to get rid of them.
Gold is always god or higher godly thoughts, silver is mans higher thoughts purified, and symbolized by silver. the mind draws all it can from Egypt (the lower mind), the lower nature, and eventually resides over it.
This represents Transmutation of base metals into gold, raising the Creative Fire from the base of the spine in the Land of Egypt to the Higher Creative Center in the Garden of Eden, the head.
God stripped Egypt of possession of persons and things because of disobedience; Israel received only its fair share for conquering under Law.
The tenth plague is under Pisces, the House of Revelation and Permeation. Here Light so permeates us that every atom dances.
This is the House of Heaven, and we are living through it today as we open the thalamus glands for "seeing" and "hearing." Polishing the virtues and praying with fervent praise opens the thalamus glands.
Egypt had to be blinded with grief to let go of their possessions, but they were too blinded to see Heavenly Realms.
We learn to release the other fellow from bondage to self-will, to love more, to love enough but not to possess.
This is the point Paul reached when he "kicked against the pricks."
We are too busy picking up our precious pearls of experience to kick against what life presents.
Israel could see that freedom lay ahead, but they still faced forty years of wandering the wilderness of self to become purified of their taints.
The path Home to the fathers house (the higher mind) is long, and we must be single-minded in our climb. Not gluttonous, but focused, gluttony will cause you to fail. And It's not talking about Literal FOOD.
IT'S ALL MYSTICAL, NOT LITERAL!!!!
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF THE HUMAN MIND.
"And let ye therefore be transformed, by the renewing of your minds" Bible
Remember, these things are all in the MIND!!!!!

can we keep the flame alight within ourselves? By sacrificing all our

"What
is the purpose of burning candles in churches? If it were only for

fact, this ritual has a profound meaning when the believer
understands that, just as the wax is burned to keep the flame alight,
he too must burn a substance within himself in order to maintain his
inner light, and so that his prayers are heard and granted by the
Divinity.

Many
religions say God is like a fire, but we do not know a great deal
about this fire except that it is of an unbearable intensity. It is
the fire of the pure Spirit and all forms melt and are destroyed upon
contact with it. All those who have been embraced by this fire, have
melted into it and merged into one flame.
Many
complicated books have been written about the experience of mystics.
In fact it is very simple, the experience of mystics is the
experience of fire, of the sacred fire. A person who has lit this
divine fire within them feeds it every day by throwing pieces of his
lower nature into it, in the same way that we throw wood into the
fire.
Watch
a fire burn: all the dead pieces of wood that were until then
separate, dispersed and useless, are united in one and the same
light, one and the same heat, and they are forced to become
incandescent like the fire itself.
Similarly,
by offering our lower instincts in sacrifice to the fire of the
spirit, we will know what God is, the divine fire, because we will
become like Him.
To
live the spiritual life does not mean to withdraw from the world. The
spiritualist may live in society, in fact he must live in society,
but at the same time remain connected to the light, to wisdom, so
that he is always equal to any situation.
If
he capitulates, if he goes spiritually bankrupt, he not only loses
his force, his equilibrium and his authority, but he is no longer of
interest to others.
You
will say: ‘But it’s so difficult to live among people who don’t
have the same aspirations, who don’t think as we do!’ Yes, this
is difficult, but there is no alternative.
You
must associate with human beings, you must love them and work with
them, all the while adhering to your high ideal, to your divine
philosophy.
In
doing so you become a centre, a spring, a garden, an orchard: not
only do you yourself have everything you need, but you also have the
means to benefit those around you.

The
Bible is Wrong About the 10 Commandments
The
Ten Commandments are universal in nature. When one becomes
enlightened, the Ten Commandments are realized and lived out from
within. This is especially true after the awakening of the third eye,
or pineal gland. Now consider the scripture below from Jeremiah:
“This
is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that
time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and
write in on their hearts” (Jeremiah 31:31)
WHERE?
In their MINDS
The
prophet Jeremiah is declaring that the law is meant to be in the mind
and heart permanently, not
something which should be obeyed from an external law book or outward
code.
This
is about something that happens “within” you. Let’s also read
the very next verse:
“No
longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying,
‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me…” (Jeremiah
31:34).
Someone
who has experienced enlightenment no longer serves the ego. The law
was written for the ego, but the spiritual man who is not under the
operation of the ego lives by grace (enlightenment / Christ
consciousness.)
This
is the entire reason the Ten Commandments were placed inside the Ark
of the Covenant ( in your conscious awareness); it was to serve as a
symbolic image of what was to truly be experienced by a true
Israelite (spiritually enlightened person).
Not
many people know that the Ten Commandments came from chapter 125 in
the Egyptian Book of the Dead. That was written centuries before the
Torah. The Ark of the Covenant also came from Egypt.
Found
within the king’s chamber of the Great Pyramid was one furniture
piece—a box with the same dimensions as the Ark of the Covenant as
it is described in the Bible! Israel, or Isis, Ra, and Elohim also
come from the name of Egyptian Gods. My point is that believing the
scriptures are meant to be literal is not what’s important. It’s
the hidden spiritual meanings within them that matter! Never stop
digging and questioning.
Mainstream
Christianity has misunderstood all of this imagery for centuries. One
cannot worship God in spirit and in truth by worshiping something
“out there.”
All
truth is contained within you. Mainstream Christianity has taught us
that by “believing” the literal Gospel this entire spiritual
process is assured to us by Christ. But what they fail to realize is
that Christ is to be formed in you! It is not about believing a
literal story. This brings no rising of consciousness.
The
Truth Is…
The
Bible gives us two versions of the 10 commandments. The first set of
“thou shalt nots” that most people mistakenly think are the “10
commandments” were recited by God to Moses, and then from Moses (or
from God?, the Bible says God spake) to “them”.
Exodus
19:25
So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
20:1
And God spake all these words, saying,
The
tablets that were broken
1.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth me..
3.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the
LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6.
Thou shalt not kill.
7.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8.
Thou shalt not steal.
9.Thou
shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet
thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor
his ox, nor his ass,nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

So
what’s this about? Contradiction already. Moses spake…. No! God
spake. None-the-less these “shalt not” commandments were recited
by either God or Moses.
The
words of the conventional wisdom 10 commandments WERE SPOKEN! These
“conventional wisdom” 10 commandments were merely spoken. Get it?
Spoken! If these words were spoken by God|Moses, who wrote them down?
On
what? How is it that we have them now? There is nothing about stone
tablets in this first narrative. So, we don’t have the stone
tablets referred to below but we have the above spoken words ? Not
Likely!
BTW
– 10th Commandment Condones Slavery
The
conventional wisdom 10th commandment is abominable. It equates wives
and manservants and maidservants with houses, oxen, asses and any
other property that is thy neighbor’s. Wives and slaves are
property, no doubt.
The
2nd Version
The
next time Moses received the 10 commandments, after 40 days and 40
nights on the mount, There are stone tablets written by “the finger
of God”.
32:15
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of
the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their
sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
32:16
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing
of God, graven upon the tables.
However,
Moses dropped and broke the first set of stones writ by the finger of
God!. Again we find it interesting
that Moses would deign to intentionally break STONES written on by
God and suffer no consequence! What does it mean spiritually?
32:19
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he
saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he
cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
So…
we don’t really know what was on those stones; but we are soon
going to find out!
Finally,
the REAL 10 commandments with spiritual translation
34:1
And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone
like unto the first: and I will
write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables,
which thou brakest.
34:4
And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and
Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai,
as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of
stone.
34:10
And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will
do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any
nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of
the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Exodus
34:14-26
Exodus
34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words:
for after the tenor of these words
I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Wait
a minute! WHO wrote the words? God said “I will write”; this
verse says Moses wrote. I bet you never heard that from a preacher or
religious person.
34:28
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he
did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he (Moses?) wrote upon
the tables the words of
the covenant, the ten commandments.
the covenant, the ten commandments.
Read
that carefully. Here is the bible stating in no uncertain terms that
the above commandments are the REAL 10 commandments as
dictated, (“write thou these words”), by God to Moses.
Why
did God have Moses write the second set of commandments, when God
wrote the first ones that Moses broke, this is a highly metaphysical
riddle, we will get to that later, first lets translate the second
set written by Moses.
Remember
these are symbolic of things that go on in ones field of
consciousness.
THE
REAL TEN COMMANDMENTS
1.
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God:
Worship
means to have reverence and adoration, it doesnt mean to grovel at
the feet of some deity, we know that the right hemisphere of the
brain is gods pleasent portion, we are simply to have reverence to
this right side, which is the higher Christ/God mind.
God
is jealous when we go whoring after otherg Gods, these other gods are
the desires of the flesh, the intellect and the emotions, when we
live in EGO consciousness we are serving these other Gods.
2.
Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
Molten
means fused or liquefied by heat, when the heat and passions of the
lower mind are active in our daily conscious thinking, we are making
molten gods.
3.
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt
eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month
Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
Unleavened
bread is a symbol of the purity of consciousness, it is not corrupted
by the puffed up pride of the ego ( yeast), so we are to consume
higher quality thoughts Unleavened) at all times. The Seven days are
symbols of the Seven Chakras that must be energized by the kundalini
in our meditation.
Abib
The
seventh month of the Jewish year, equivalent to Nisan of the modern
Jewish calendar. Ex. 34:18.
Again
Abib is referencing the Seven chakras, Egypt is operating from the
lower self or egoic consciousness.
Month
Month
is 12, we have 12 cranial nerves in our brains that must be energized
by the flow of electrical current up the spine, throught the Seven
chakras
4.
All that openeth the matrix is mine. But the firstling of an ass thou
shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou
break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And
none shall appear before me empty.
The
matris is a womb, it is the birth place of the new mind, but first we
must open this womb in our meditation, the firstlings of an ass is a
symbol of the animal nature that must be redeemed by the lamb, the
lamb of god that takes away the sins of the world, on the
physiological chart it is the pineal gland of the brain, thats the
redeemer ( lamb ).
To
break the neck means to cut off the currents that flow from the lower
self, as the neck is the symbolic cut off point, if you cant activate
the lamb within, then break the neck, cut off the currents/impulses
from the emotions coming from the lower self.
5.
Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in
earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
The
sixth day is the activating of the sixth chakra, the pineal gland of
the brain, the seventh is the crown chakra, after the crown chakra is
open, then rest from all of your meditative work.
6.
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of
wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
This
one takes more explanation.
The
Feast of Weeks is the second of the three “solemn feasts”
Since
the Feast of Weeks was one of the “harvest feasts,” the Jews (
those that seek within ) were commanded to “present an offering of
new grain to the Lord” (Leviticus 23:16). This offering was to be
“two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of
fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of
the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
Along
with the “wave offerings” they were also to offer seven
first-year lambs that were without blemish along with one young bull
and two rams. Additional offerings are also prescribed in Leviticus
and the other passages that outline how this feast was to be
observed.
Another
important requirement of this feast is that, when the Jews harvested
their fields, they were required to leave the corners of the field
untouched and not gather “any gleanings” from the harvest as a
way of providing for the poor and strangers (Leviticus 23:22).
The
Feast of Weeks takes place exactly 50 days after the Feast of
Firstfruits. It normally occurs in late spring, either the last part
of May or the beginning of June. Unlike other feasts that began on a
specific day of the Hebrew calendar, this one is calculated as being
“fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath” (Leviticus
23:15–16; Deuteronomy 16:9–10).
"And
thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat
harvest The firstfruits are the first of the higher divine thoughts
that one manifests within their awakening state after having opened
the seven seals or chakras, this is the wheat harvest, and the feast
of ingathering at the year’s end."
Ingathering
is a symbol of the consciousness of a person manifesting the higher
divine thoughts, when we are operating from the higher state of mind.
The pineal gland is complete at the 49th day, the 50 ( pentecost )
menas five, itis a symbol of the overcoming of the five senses in the
meditative state, the sevent sabbath also means the crown chakra, as
the word Sabbath means seven.
Wheat
is a symbol of the staff of life, it is the bread, which is the word
of god stamped in our consciousness.
Year
again represents the energized 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
This
offering was to be “two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah”
which were made “of fine flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings
were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus
23:17).
A
JEW ( those that seek within ) were commanded to “present an
offering of new grain to the Lord” (Leviticus 23:16). The grain is
a symbol of the higher self and the thoughts that proceed from the
higher conscious mind.
“two
wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah” which were made “of fine
flour, baked with leaven.” The offerings were to be made of the
first fruits of that harvest (Leviticus 23:17).
The
word EPAPH means basket, this basket is the physical head or temple
which houses both the left and right hemisphers of the brain, hence
TWO wave loaves, a wave offering is made by the pineal to the higher
divine impulses from the cosmos, see wave offering elsewhere.
Why
two tenths, because two represents both hemisphers of the brain, it
is two tenths of what is inside your head ( the apeph) or human head.
the
tenth part of an ephah (as in the RSV), equal to an omer or six
pints. The recovered leper, to complete his purification, was
required to bring a trespass, a sin, and a burnt offering, and to
present a meal offering, a tenth deal or an omer of flour for each,
with oil to make it into bread or cakes ( Leviticus 14:10
The
secret is the number six, it is the number of mans waking conscious
state, it means doctrine, religious brain washing etc...man was
created on the SIXth day.
Two
tenths is TWO Omers or two times six which is 12, again referencing
the 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
1
Chronicles 9:32. Twelve cakes — Representing the twelve tribes, the
12 cranial nerves. Two tenth-deals shall be in one cake — That is,
two omers, or two tenth parts of an ephah, consisting of about six
quarts of English measure, Exodus 16:36.
24:1-9
The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food
of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light
of the world. The Christ consciousness.
7.
Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD
God, the God of Israel.
Thrice
or three always is a symbol of new life, the 3 days in the tomb, the
3 days of the winter solstice, the 3 days in the belly of the great
fish etc..
Year
again here are the 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
men
in the bible means mind, it comes Mentes, Latin for mind.
Men
children,, a child is devoid of ego and is pure in heart and mind, so
here it is saying that those that exhibit pure thoughts, higher
divine thoughts are menchildren.
It
is only this higher divine mind that can see god, god is not subjest
to the carnal mind and neither can he be, he is only subjest to the
mind that becomes as a child.
8.
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither
shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the
morning.
Blood
is a symbol of the life force, the life force is the electrical
energy of the body, do not mix the life force with Leaven, leaven is
a symbol of the thoughts of the lower egoic mind, the puufed up pride
of the teachings of the pharisees ( religion ).
The
feast of the passover is when ones mind and consciousness has passed
over from the lower to the higher, devoid of EGO, don't leave this
until morning, morning is a symbol of the first dawning of the higher
conscious state, day is the fully enlightened mind. Don't wait to
sacrafice the leaven, do it everyday in your meditation.
9.
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the
house of the LORD thy God.
Again
the FIRST fruits are the first of the thigher divine thoughts that
come from the renewed mind, when one has had the passover within
themselves. The HOUSE is the center of ones consciousness, in the mid
brain. Gos dwells in temples made WITHOUT hand sayeth the prophet.
10.
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
kids
and she-goats signify innocence, purity and truth.
It
was also commanded that the curtain of the tent over the tabernacle
should be made of the wool of she-goats (Exod. 25:4; 26:7; 35:5, 6,
23, 26; 36:14), for a sign that all the holy things therein
represented derived their essence from innocence.
By
the wool of she-goats is signified the ultimate or outermost of the
innocence that is in ignorance, such as exists with the Gentiles and
who in the internal sense are the curtains of the tabernacle.
From
all this it is evident what and of what quality are the truths of
good that are signified by the two good kids of the she-goats
concerning which Rebekah his mother spoke unto Jacob her son, namely,
that they are those of innocence or of infancy.
Seetthe
A
person that is filled with intense but unexpressed anger.
"inwardly
he was seething at the slight to his authority"
bubble
up as a result of being boiled.
This
is the boiloing over of the lower mind or the lower emotions, the
mind that is quick to anger, one has reached a boiling point as they
say, the manifestation of the ego in ones conscious waking mind.
kid
in his mother’s milk.
The
kid Goat
The
digestive physiology of a very young kid (like the young of other
ruminants) is essentially the same as that of a monogastric animal.
Milk digestion begins in the abomasum, the milk having bypassed the rumen via closure of the reticuloesophageal groove during suckling. At birth, the rumen is undeveloped, but as the kid begins to consume solid feed, the rumen soon increases in size and in its capacity to absorb nutrients.
Milk digestion begins in the abomasum, the milk having bypassed the rumen via closure of the reticuloesophageal groove during suckling. At birth, the rumen is undeveloped, but as the kid begins to consume solid feed, the rumen soon increases in size and in its capacity to absorb nutrients.
The
milk is the divine word of god, it is the substance of nourishment,
mother is a symbol of the spirit.
"Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk."
A
kid cooked in its mother's milk is "a gross, unwholesome dish,
but when we understand the symbolism, we have a clear picture of this
commandment.
That
the truth and good of the innocence of the external or natural man is
signified by kids and she-goats, is evident from the following
passages in the Word. In Isaiah:--
The
wolf shall abide with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the kid and the calf, and the young lion, and the sheep together and
a little child shall lead them (Isa. 11:6);
"Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk."
Milk
is a symbol of the higher spiritual mind, do not seethe or boil the
kid ( the mind that has not yet developed and ego) DO NOT destroy
this mind. It is the kid, the mind in the becoming. The kid and
children of men are the same thing, they are SYMBOLS.
Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk (Exod. 23:19; 34:26);
where by the first-fruits of the ground ( the ground is a symbol of
the lower mind) , which they were to bring into the house of Jehovah,
is signified the state of innocence which is in infancy; and by not
seething a kid in its mother's milk, that they should not destroy the
innocence of infancy of the divine thoughts. Because, in the internal
sense they cohere together.
"
Don't be a minister of the letter, for the letter ( literal reading
Kills) but of the SPIRIT, because the spiritual understanding gives
life and meaning to the scriptures.
So
then there is the real meaning of the TEN commandments written by
MOSES, Moses is a symbol of the higher intellect in us all. God
speaking through our higher mind, written in our consciousness.
kid,
sheep, she-goat, ram, a he-goat, a bullock, an ox, a horse and camel;
are simply symbols of the mind, depending on the context of the
verse, the meaning becomes clear.
You
didn’t know that did you. There’s a lot in the bible you don’t
know.
34:27
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for
after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and
with Israel.
Wait
a minute! WHO wrote the words? God said “I will write”; this
verse says Moses wrote. Another piece of nonsense!
34:28
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he
did neither eat bread, nor drink water.
And he (Moses?) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the
ten commandments.
Read
that carefully. Here is the bible stating in no uncertain terms that
the above commandments are the REAL 10 commandments as
dictated, (“write thou these words”), by God to Moses.
You
didn’t know that did you. There’s a lot in the bible you don’t
know.
Lest
you believe that this is from an odd-ball translation, read 19
different bible translations HERE . They all say the same thing
“…these are the 10 commandments”.
I
had a Jewish friend claim that “it only says 10 commandments in the
Christian bibles but when you read the Hebrew, it doesn’t say 10
commandments. He was wrong…
HERE
it is in Hebrew. It says “these are the 10 commandments.
WAIT!
WHAT WAS THAT?
This
section has been challenged by Mitchell below. He says I am
misreading the concept of “redeem” and “consecration”. He is
probably correct. But, I am leaving this in. You decide what this
nonsense means. It is not absolutely clear to me that you are not to
kill your first kid.
You
are to sacrifice your first born son to God right along with your ass
or a lamb instead of your ass. It
says so, right here in Exodus 34:19-20.
All
that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy
cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
But
the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou
redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of
thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
Lest
you think I am misquoting this passage, you are invited to see it
represented in 19 different translations in the Bible Hub.
NO….
you did not misread or misunderstand. God makes it clear in other
verses that he means you should sacrifice your firstborn son!
Exodus
13:2
“Consecrate
to me every firstborn male. The first offspring of every womb among
the Israelites belongs to me, whether human or animal.“
Exodus
22:29
“Do
not hold back offerings from your granaries or your vats. “You must
give me the firstborn of your sons.
“But
wait!” my Jewish friend exclaims. “That’s not what it says in
the Hebrew” he says. “Yes it is!” we say. Have a look for
yourself.
Exodus
34:20 in Hebrew
Exodus
13:2 in Hebrew
Exodus
22:29 in Hebrew
And
then of course this is confirmed in Leviticus and Numbers.
Leviticus
27:28-29 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote
unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the
field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted
thing is most holy unto the LORD. None devoted, which shall be
devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
What
gibberish but it appears that something that is first born is surely
going to be put to death
Numbers
3:13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the
firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the
LORD.
Ahh,
much more to the point; all the firstborn in Israel (both man and
beast) belong to the LORD, just as they did in Egypt.
Analysis
– For Critical Thinkers Only
Whereas
the “conventional wisdom” 10 commandments have four, common sense
moral prohibitions, the REAL 10 commandments are total, utter
and complete nonsense. The real 10
commandments are even less prohibitive of amoral behavior than are
those commonly accepted 10 commandments.
So,
we have two, maybe three different versions of the 10 commandments.
Which one is “true”. One of the versions is wrong and therefore
the Bible is wrong.
How
is it that conventional wisdom gives us the version that was recited
(Moses went down and spake/ god spake ) to the Children of Israel?
Who wrote them down on what?
There
never was a written record of those 10 commandments that are now
recognized as THE 10 commandments. The first stoney version was
broken. There is no question that the bible is wrong on this matter.
Wait,
There’s More
There
are three radically different accounts of what happened after Moses
angrily smashed the tablets containing the 10 commandments when he
came down from Mount Sinai.
These
accounts are well discussed in “What Really Happened After Moses
Broke The Tablets?” written by Thomas McDaniel from Palmer
Seminary. Briefly, here are the variations:
According
to Exodus 32;20, Moses made the people drink water
contaminated with the toxic powder from the ashes of the golden calf,
seemingly for the purpose of fatally poisoning all who had worshiped
the golden calf. And then he turned brother against brother,
neighbor against neighbor. Some loving God what?
According
to Exodus 32:35, God sent a plague upon the people,
According
to Deut 9:21, Moses threw the toxic ashes into a brook so
that the waters would carry the ashes into oblivion—without anyone
being made to drink a concocted toxic beverage.
Again
contradictory stories in the inerrant bible. Can’t be. The Bible is
wrong about two of the above fables.
The
Most Egregious Contradiction
6.
Thou shall not kill.
Pretty
clear. God commands us not to kill!
4.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
And
what is the penalty for violating the fourth commandment?
Six
days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be
to you an holy day, a sabbath of
rest to the LORD:
whosoever
doeth work therein shall be put to death. Exodus 35:2
And
while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they
found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. …
And
the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to
death: all the congregation shall
stone him with stones without the camp. Numbers 15:32-36
Well
isn’t that just peachy! God commands us not to kill but in the next
breath commands us to kill anyone who does anything on the Sabbath.
Can ANYONE spin this nonsense into sense? I thought not.
Another
Example of the Lord Speaking Out of Both Sides of His Wholly Mouth
God
told Moses to kill. Even though it was Moses who purposely broke the
stones containing the words of God, God wants those who thought Moses
was gone forever to be killed.
“And
he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put
every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate
throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man
his companion, and every man his neighbour. Exodus 32:27
OMG
– more nonsense. How can anyone believe this rubbish?
These
contradictions are all that is needed to prove the bible is wrong.
According to God, EITHER one should not kill OR one should kill those
who don’t believe you. Apparently it will “bestow a blessing upon
you” Ex 32:29 if you do kill. Everyone knows it is wrong to kill.
Why can’t the Bible get it right?
Wrong
By Hubris
And
do you think that prior to hearing Moses recite the commandments,
everyone thought that it was OK to commit adultery, murder, theft and
perjury? There were already laws against all of those transgression
codified by Confucius, Hammurabi and others.
Ancient
Egyptian Laws from which the Children of Israel had “escaped”
were far superior to what God told Moses. By the way, in the next
three books of the Pentateuch, God commits, commissions and condones
143 separate instances of rape, murder, infanticide, genocide,
slavery and torture.
Wrong
By Impossibility
WAIT
A MINUTE!
Mount_Sinai_Egypt
“And
be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai,
and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount….And he
hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up
early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had
commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.”
Exodus 34:2-4
“The
two tables of stone”. According to the Bava Batra* the length and
width of each of the Tablets was six Tefachim, and each was three
Tefachim thick – respectively roughly 20 and ten inches. That’s
4000 cubic inches of stone for each tablet! Mount Sinai displays a
ring complex[4] that consists of alkaline Granites intruded into
diverse rock types, including volcanics.
The
granites range in composition from syenogranite to alkali feldspar
granite. With all that considered, let’s take the middle ground –
the weight of the rock in that area then is 3500 pounds per cubic
yard.
Therefore,
the weight of the one (of the two) rocks that Moses allegedly carried
is 300 pounds (4000/46,656 * 3500). Since Moses was carrying
TWO stone tablets, the total
weight of Moses’ load was 600 pounds! That’s a show stopper right
there. We have no indication that Moses had super strength.
This
is the same old goat who needed help to even hold his arms up so
God’s “children” would keep on killing some people.
“Come
up in the morning… the top of the mount“. Mount Sinai is over
7400 ft high! At a 4% grade, it would take 34 miles to reach an
elevation of 7400 feet. In addition, as Moses climbed higher, the
density of oxygen in the air decreases in direct proportion to
increasing altitude.
Moses
was at least 80 (according to the bible) at this time. No one, let
alone an 80 year old, is capable of walking 34 miles up to a 7500
foot elevation with stones weighing over 600 pounds “in his hand”.
Now,
about the descent.
Really?
After 40 days without food or water? Think about that. Forty days
without food or water and yet Moses is able to walk a 34 mile route
down from an elevation of 7500 feet with two tables totaling 600
pounds?
No
way! It could not happen, it did not happen. This is a man made story
by ignorant Jews in the marketing department of The Children of
Israel.
WAIT
A MINUTE
With
what did Moses “write” the 10 commandments? A sharpie? Probably
not.
Coal?
Not in the middle of the desert. Quill pen and India ink? Not
invented yet. A chisel! Yeah, that’s it a Stanley chisel purchased
from Lowes (or Home Depot). Wait…. chisels only work on wood. The
Egyptians shaped stones in the pyramids by pounding rock on rock, but
that wouldn’t have worked for Moses because he was etching
intricate hieroglyphic (not Greek or Arabic) characters into stone.
Hmm …
We
have no idea how Moses “…wrote upon the tables the words of the
covenant”. Don’t say that God wrote them because the last we’re
told, Moses is doing the writing. It’s a wonder it only took Moses
40 days. No wonder there was no time for food or water.
WAIT
A MINUTE!
Forty
days without water? Forty days without food? No one can live for 40
days without water. You can say that God was in charge of allowing
Moses to live 40 days without food and water but then what is the big
deal? It isn’t even worth mentioning if it’s a God miracle. So,
this is just one more show stopper in the 10 commandments fable.
Another proof the bible is wrong.
WAIT
A MINUTE!
Where
is it? A document of stone written by Moses would surely be worth
preserving at all costs. Presumably there were two copies of it,
albeit one was broken by Moses (why didn’t God kill Moses for
breaking the stones that HE had written on? Heck, God had a man
killed for collecting sticks on the sabbath). We digress.
Yes
the temple was destroyed several times over but the stones written on
by God and/or Moses surely would have been removed prior to the
destruction. The fact that there is no trace of stone written on by
God or Moses is a strong indicator that they never existed. Wasn’t
the Ark of the Covenant moved around until it was lost?
WAIT
A MINUTE!
“To
the Children of Israel? Biblical scholars estimate that the size of
the Exodus would have been more than 1.5 MILLION (who would have
formed an 85 mile long column, 10 abreast, 3 feet between rows)
people, the same number of people who live in Philadelphia. How could
Moses possibly have communicated with all of them? He couldn’t. He
didn’t. Bible is wrong.
Wrong
By Omission
The
10 Commandments fail to prohibit atrocities that have been
universally recognized throughout the ages as equal to or more
heinous than lying, coveting, stealing or murder.
Why
are not these the first six commandments ….
Thou
shall not enslave.
Thou
shall not torture.
Thou
shall not kidnap.
Thou
shall not molest children.
Thou
shall not rape women.
Thou
shall not commit genocide (even though I, your Lord, did many times)
Almost
universally, people will identify slavery, torture and kidnapping as
the most heinous of acts one person can perpetrate on another person.
Why
are these heinous acts… slavery, torture, kidnapping, child
molestation, rape not included in God’s list of proscribed
behaviors?
Why,
instead of “Thou shall not enslave“,
do
we have “The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring
unto the house of the LORD thy God“?
Why,
instead of “Thou shall not torture“,
do
we have “Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear
before the LORD God, the God of Israel.“?
Why,
instead of “Thou shall not kidnap“,
do
we have “The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days
thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of
the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.“?
Why,
instead of “Thou shall not molest children“,
do
we have the opposite
“All
that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy
cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.“? i.e. kill your
firstborn son.
Why
instead of “Thou shall not rape women” do we have
Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
Why
are the worst possible crimes against humanity ignored in favor of
homage to God? Nowhere in the bible is there any admonishment not to
do any of the above barbaric, savage atrocities.
10th
Commandment Condones Slavery, Treats Women As Chattel
In
the first set of unwritten, “conventional wisdom” 10
commandments, the tenth “commandment” condones behavior we find
reprehensible: women are seen as chattel, no different than the
house, the oxen and the ass or any other object the neighbor owns.
Servitude is condoned and protected (thou shalt not covet ….his
manservant, nor his maidservant).
In
fact slavery is condoned in both the old and new testaments. God even
gives instructions on “How To Sell Your Daughter Into Slavery”
(Exodus 21:7-8). And yes, we know the New Testament uses the word
“servant’ but the behavior described, that is, ownership of
another person, is slavery!
A
loving god would have included these despicable acts in his
prohibitions. So, whether or not you believe the fable of the 10
commandments, you have to see that no truly loving God, wishing the
best for his children, would have failed to prohibit the worst kinds
of human deprivation. Don’t steal, don’t lie, …. , these are
better than don’t molest children?
Summary
We
have just provided numerous examples, in just this one story of the
10 commandments, where the bible is in error, e.g. it is wrong! Only
one is needed to falsify the bible. Take your pick. All of the
examples can withstand any spin the apologists want to apply.
Q.E.D.
