Who is Adam, who is Eve?
Who is cain, who is Abel?
The following Cain and Abel story was borrowed from Bill Donahue at Hiddenmeanings.
GENESIS HOW IT ALL BEGAN
In Genesis 1 we encounter Adam and Eve. Is there anyone who does not know of Adam and Eve ?. But what if I was to suggest that Adam is Atom, the center of all life ?. Are you still with me.?
Well, let us consider all things as we move through this lush garden of metaphysical delight.
Eden is the primeval dwelling place.
The word Eden means delight. Since you have continued to read this work even after I suggested that Adam is really Atom, let me also suggest to you that is actually the right hemisphere of the brain.
Your very own, private and personal garden of delight. Genesis 2:8, "And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden."
There is the evidence that the garden of Eden is the right hemisphere of the brain.
The garden was planted Eastward. When you are looking to the North, East is always on the right side.
If you read Ezekie143:2, the scripture says that "the glory of the Lord, came from the East".
Thus the glory of God comes from the right side.
That is why Jesus in, John21:6,says "cast your net to the right side and you will find".
So if East is at the right side, then we can consider the idea that things of delight and love come from the right side.
Remember in Numbers 2:3 the tribe of Judah was positioned at the East at the point of the rising sun.
Judah being the origin of the word Jew, Gods' chosen people.
Thus Gods' chosen people are those who position themselves at the right side. They were the children of light. Isn't it interesting that in Numbers 2:9, the number of people who were in the tribe of Judah is counted at 186,400 which is the constant speed of light. coincidence?
Now remember the bible says a JEW "is one INWARDLY"
The word jew comes JEU, the fist two letters of the word JU DAH. The tribe of JEU dah then is you, and me, all those which enter into the dark place of meditation
The description of Adam/Atom is consistent with all energy, both male and female. It is not referenced to a single person.
This is true of God as well. In Genesis 1:27, God is called Elohim which is both male and female. In Genesis 3:22, the scripture is quoted as having God say, "man has become as one of us. We know that Genesis has God making man in our image.
So the plural of both male-female, as energy, is clearly stated. In Genesis 5:1, The scripture says, "this is the generations of Adam in the day God created man. (Man here refers to mankind which includes female as well).
The scripture goes on, "in the likeness of God made he him.". Let us pause here for this is very important. The scripture has just told us that mankind was made in the likeness of God.
The very next verse will tell us exactly what God is like. Let us see. Genesis 5:2, "male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name Adam."
So we prove by the very words of the Bible that God is both male and female, and all is one and called Adam/Atom. What happened to Eve, what about the Garden, where's Cain and Abel?
All these things disappear as we look at the second creation which is cosmic consciousness.
Let us continue to consider Adam/Atom and see if we can somehow prove scientifically our suggestion that Adam and Atom, are the same. Nuclear Fission occurs when an electron is removed from an Atom.
This causes energy to multiply. The Biblical allegory describes nuclear fission thusly. Genesis 2:21, God formed a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and took one of his ribs and the rib that God took he used to make a woman.
Thus the energy is multiplied by the splitting of the Adam/Atom.
The Biblical Allegory describes this fact of science thusly. In Genesis 2:21 it says that God formed a deep sleep to fall on Adam and took one of his ribs.
In Genesis 2:22 it says that the rib God took, he used to make a woman. Thus the energy is multiplied by the splitting of the Adam/Atom.
So here we see the evolution of life from the physical Adam to the mental Eve.
Now we are introduced to the serpent. Genesis 3:1 says that the serpent was more subtile then any beast of the field.
The word subtile is subtle and means clever. It is a portrait of the human spine represented as a serpent and pictured as the source of sensual temptation.
Of course this makes total sense since all of our sensual temptation comes through the physical body.
We have already concluded that Eve represents the mind in our creation allegory. Eve the mind is tempted by the flesh or the lower part.
(Represented by the serpent/the spine). Genesis 2:17 says you shall not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Now as you ponder this consider just what could be meant by the knowledge of the tree of good and evil.
These are opposites and they represent confusion. What is being said here is that you should not make your decisions on information that comes through the carnal mind which is good and evil, but on the other hand you should make your decisions on information which is the result of your meditation from the right side.
In this story when Eve eats the fruit, the story is describing how we decide. Eve eats the fruit. The mind considers the matter and makes a decision.
Then Adam eats. What originally had begun as a thought (Eve) now manifests into an act, (Adam). When the act is carried out, the Bible says that they immediately realized that they were naked.
What is portrayed here is quite simply a guilty conscience. To be aware that we are naked is to be aware that we are now exposed to greater problems because of the actions we have chosen to take. In Genesis 3:11 God asks our heroes who told them they were naked.
The answer in Genesis 3:13 is that the serpent beguiled me. In other words we were deceived. Deceived by who. The serpent, the spine, ourselves.
There is a very interesting fact that you should consider right here. Notice the word beguiled in Genesis 3:13, beguile. It means to deceive. What is amazing here is that in 2 Corinthians 12:16 the Apostle Paul uses the very same strategy.
to secure new converts. Paul says quite frankly " I caught you with guile". What is so interesting about this is the fact that in considering the serpent in our story, we must realize that the actions of the serpent caused Adam and Eve to evolve to a God like state. The "fall" was actually a rise in consciousness.
The Bible quotes God as saying. "Man has become as one of us". So Paul using guile and the serpent using guile gives us pause to consider the identity of both. Both are doing "Gods" work. It was extremely important for Adam and Eve, (body and mind), to experience good and evil.
Evolution to a higher state is impossible without that experience.
As God says in Isaiah 45:7, "I create good and I make evil, I the Lord do all these things. So the serpent is a very important part of God and actually is God. God and the tempting serpent are one and the same.
Once the decision is made to take from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we are no longer in the Garden of Eden which the Bible says is positioned in the East. We are now firmly entrenched in the West, in the carnal mind, the left side, the place of good and evil.
GENESIS AND ASTROLOGY
When considering the merit of Astrology from a spiritual basis, one must look at the very first page in the Bible. Genesis 1:14.
The statement there deals with the creation of lights in the heavens, (stars and other heavenly bodies). The scripture is quite specific that these heavenly lights are to be for seasons and also for signs.
This is the very first page of the Bible and instructions are given that stars are to be used for seasons and signs. It is important to understand that what religion considers evil is a direction from the Bible given very clearly on the very first page.
GENESIS-EVOLUTION CAIN AND ABEL
The allegory of human consciousness and the evolution of consciousness continues in Genesis in the story of Cain and Abel. To understand the allegory we have to understand the meaning of the names.
Cain means "tiller of the soil". We are Cain when we did up from our earth (mind). I am sure that many times you have asked someone "where did you dig that up". Our ideas which originate from the left side are Cain.
Abel means " keeper of the sheep". Sheep are divine thoughts.
In the Christmas story the shepherds are the first ones to see the Christ.
They were keeping watch over their sheep. This means that those who watch over divine thought through meditation are the first to experience Christ consciousness.
Cain represents the left hemisphere of the brain, and Abel the right hemisphere, also cain represents the negative thought patterns of the mind, while Able represents the higher good thought patters, hence, he is a watcher of sheep, sheep in the bible are divine higher thoughts.
Genesis 4 verses 3&4, Cain brings the fruit of the ground as an offering to the Lord. In other words that which grew out of his mind. His own ideas.
Abel brought the firstlings of his flock. The flock is sheep, divine thoughts. The energy of the right side. The importance of the allegory surrounds the word "firstlings".
Let us look at 1 Corinthians 15:45, "the first was made a living soul, the last a quickening spirit. In 1 Corinthians i5:46, this is made a bit clearer.
"That was not first which is spiritual, but which is natural". So Abel sacrifices the natural part. That is exactly what you and I do in meditation.
One of the things that first strikes me and gives me pause to consider this as literal is the fact that we have a primeval place occupied by two English people, Adam and Eve.
The second thing that is hard for me to consider is that the entire world is presently scourged by cancer, rape, wars, violence of all sorts, and it is all because these two people ate a piece of fruit that was given to them by a talking snake.
I don't know about you, but I find tills a little difficult to swallow. (Excuse the pun).The third thing that should make it clear to us that this is allegory and not literalism is the fact that one of the main characters in the drama is a talking snake.
I would like to announce to the world that without any question, there is one certain fact, snakes do not talk.
UNKNOWN NUDITY
Unknown nudity is another factor that leads us into understanding that this is myth. Our two English friends are running around this primeval garden totally naked but they do not realize this at all.
They have no idea that they are naked. I mean don't you think that there might be a lesson of some kind here ?.But here's the best part.
How do our friends find out that they are naked ? The talking snake tells them. Now keep in mind. The fundamentalists are trying to get our school systems to teach creationism .
This is the basis of their creation study. Two English people who do not know that they are naked being coerced to eat a piece of fruit by a talking snake.
Now of course you will want your children to learn all about this. I think we have raised enough question for us to reach a conclusion that the Genesis story is not literal. Having done that the next question is.
What in the world does all of this mean ?.As we go along in our study we will come to the realization that Genesis lays out in allegorical form the evolution of the human mind.
ATUM ATAM ADAM
In Memphis Egypt we find the first man with the name of Atum. Immediately we look at our scientific knowledge of the twentieth century and think of Atom.
Then as we consider the allegory of Genesis, what better way to convey the scientific fact of Atom but by creating a story with the main characters name being Adam.
What better way to convey the origin of creation but by splitting Adam.
Remove a rib. Next we meet lovely Eve. Eve is a symbol of the mental aspect of our nature. Eve our thoughts considers the temptation from the snake our spine, our flesh. Our mind then communicates with our body Adam , and the act is carried out.
Psychologically correct. SpIrit Eve, Body Adam and carnal mind snake. No problem
THE GARDEN
The name of the garden where our heroes dwell is Eden. The word Eden means delight. In Genesis 2:8,we are shown the location of this garden The scripture says that the garden is Eastward in Eden.
Whenever you look North, East is always on the right side. Therefore the garden of delight is to the right.
When we shut down the thoughts of the mind we are sacrificing the natural part so we can be given that which is spiritual. So we see why Abel's sacrifice was acceptable and Cain's was not.
Look at Genesis 4:4,"the Lord had respect to Abel. In other words this is the way that we please God. Sacrificing the natural part in meditation by taking no thought.
Genesis 4:5 Unto Cain he had no respect. Ideas, techniques. Those things that come out of our minds and the minds of others are not acceptable.
They are the first born and the only way to get to God is to sacrifice them. The only way to do that is by taking no thought in meditation.
Genesis 4:8 Now we get to the part where Cain plots the death of Abel.
Remember this is allegory. It really is referring to the carnal part of your mind that works diligently to overcome any leanings to the spiritual.
That part that is in harmony with God, (Abel), can be destroyed by the part that is not, (Cain). Yet both parts, carnal and spiritual are important for us to function as individuals.
There are countries that are very spiritual but have little material wealth, consider India. This is Abel.
There are countries that have much material wealth but little spirit, consider America. This is Cain. There must be a balance. One should not kill out the other.
Genesis 4:14 points out what we are referring to. The suggestion is that Cain will be slain again and again.
Notice the wording. "everyone that finds me shall slay me".
This means that there will be a feeling of total revulsion against the lower mind . Where do you see that. You see it in religion.
There is an attitude of totally eliminating any involvement with the lower carnal mind, with the flesh.
But.
Genesis 4:15 says that a mark is placed on Cain to protect him.
It is important that all life function with positive and negative. It is inherent in nature. So the scripture tells us that God will not allow the destruction of the negative or lower animal part of human kind.
But, it is equally important to understand that the lower part must not be allowed to hold sway over the higher.
Cain must take second place to Abel. The physical must take second place to the spiritual, or it will self destruct.
ADAM AND EVE, CAIN AND ABEL
A REVIEW
Before we continue with our studies in Genesis, let us consider some of the highlights that we have studied as we began the creation myth known as Genesis.
Let us consider first of all, that Genesis has introduced us to the evolution of consciousness, the evolution of the mind.
The first thing that you must consider as you begin to read the words of Genesis is decide for yourself, is this literal ?.This is very important. Did this story actually take place.?
Adam is the Physical, or Left side
Eve is the MIND
Genesis 4
"And Adam knew his wife; and she conceived."
This is the first sexual intercourse mentioned in the Bible. Of course it resulted in a baby boy.
Adam and Eve, Cain (And Adam Knew Eve)
Cain and Abel
4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel.
And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
(4:3-5)
"And the Lord had respect unto Abel."
God likes Abel's dead animals better than Cain's fruits and vegetables. Why? Well, no reason is given, but it probably has something to do with the amount of pain, blood, and gore involved.
Does God desire animal sacrifices? YES!
Does God respect anyone?
Eve with Cain and Abel
4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. (he was pissed)
4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? He's Pissed off.
4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up
against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Because God liked Abel's animal sacrifice more than Cain's vegetables, Cain kills his brother Abel in a fit of religious jealousy.
Cain and Abel
4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
4:10 And he said, What hast thou done?
the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; (4:11-12, 16-17) As a punishment for killing Abel, God says Cain will be "a fugitive and a vagabond." Yet in just a few verses (4:16-17)
Cain will settle down, marry, have a son, and build a city. This is not the activity one would expect from a fugitive and a vagabond.
What became of Cain? Cain represents the thoughts that arise out of the lower ego mind.
4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. (tilling the ground means to busy the mind with lower carnal animal nature thoughts)
4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Cain is worried after killing Abel and says, "Every one who finds me shall slay me." This is a strange concern since there were only two other humans alive at the time his parents!
"From thy face shall I be hid."
Does God know and see everything?
4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.
And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
"Lest any finding him should kill him."
But God is worried, too.
4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
"And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD."
Does God know everything?.
4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
"And Cain knew his wife."
That's nice, but where did she come from?
4:18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael:
and Methusael begat Lamech.
4:19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah,and the name of the other Zillah.
"And Lamech took him two wives."
Zillah is the LEFT side, or carnal nature
Adah is the RIGHT side or spiritual higher nature.
Lamech is the first of a long line of biblical men with more than one wife.
Is polygamy OK?
What the Bible says about polygamy
4:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. (lower natured carnal thinking)
4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. (The reference to harp and organ is music, (music is in the RIGHT jemisphere of the brain, the good side).
4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Zillah represents that which is on the LEFT, the left brain carnal ego thoughts, and she bore TUBALCAN, the first teacher (artificer) of Iron and Brass.
4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
(4:23-24) Lamech kills a man and claims that since Cain's murderer would be punished sevenfold, whoever murders him will be punished seventy-seven fold. That sounds fair.
4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. Here is divine thoughts, are in and of the right side.
"Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son."
Way to go Adam!
4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Keep in mind that the whole of these Geleoligies from Adam and Ave, are talking about either thoughts that originate from the emotions, which are commonly called carnal natured thoughts, because they are lower, and they create EVIL, and thy are LEFT. (Cain)
Or, thoughts that originate from the RIGHT side, or thoughts of a higher quality, thoughts that promote peace and harmony, once manifested. This is (Abel).
Hardhead (chariots of iron)
Isn't his what we are doing, when we fan the flames of the forge (mind), we essentially harden the Iron (thoughts), and it becomes so strong that nothing can break it down. The forge and the furnace are within ou, you can either forge good harmonious thoughts or negative Iron and brass.
paste in URL, you can't touch this (hammerhead)

TUBALCAIN
Now watch how crafty and clever were the Myhologist or mythicists that wrote the bible. See how they use words like iron, brass and other metals, to describe the state of a person's mental quality.
Remember TUBALCAIN is essentially the off spring of Cain, the LEFT lower thoughts, that arise out of the (emotional) lower egoic mind.
Ironheads and hardheads, people that are stunnorn, you know the ones?
TUBALCAIN The founder of the hardheads, the ironheads, the stubborn brutes, ruled by their ego's. These are the biblical metalworkers, that operate off of the LEFT carnal brain, they have gates of iron, chariots of iron and bars of brass in their city (brain), of course this figuratively (in the mind).
See all the scriptures talking about Brass and Iron, and then you will get the picture. It's talking about the heardheads, the stubborn jackasses of the earth, the tillers of the soil, where the swine do wallow.
Use your mind, when reading the verses talking about Iron and brass, and you will get the Allegory. It's all in your HEAD!! When they don't follow God's instructions, they are associated with Iron and Brass. They are heavy headed.
These then are the metalworkers in the bible terminology. Are you a metalworker?
Anytime you see the word GOLD used in the bible, it is talking about God.
It's in you MIND!!! The chariots of Iron
WOW!,Now that's a hard head.
Bars of brass (stubborn, hardheaded people).

The isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish in the beginning, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of Jehovah thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel (Isa. 60:9).
Thou didst take the vessels(the mind) of thine adorning of My gold and of My silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of a male (Ezekiel 16:17).
Here "gold" denotes the knowledges of celestial things; "silver," those of spiritual things. In the same.
Thou wast adorned with gold and silver, and thy raiment was fine linen and silk, and broidered work (Ezekiel 16:13).
Behold, thou art wise, there is no secret that they have hidden from thee; in thy wisdom and in thine intelligence thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures (Ezekiel 28:3, 4). These are the false treasures of the EGO mind. They are NON spititual.
This is said of Tyre, and it is plain that here "gold" is the wealth of wisdom, and "silver" the wealth of intelligence.
He shall sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and shall purify the sons of Levi (Malachi 3:3);
The discourses of Jehovah are pure discourses, silver smelted in a crucible of earth (man), smelted seven times (Ps. 12:6); SEVEN TIMES.
There's the KEY, the number seven, the seven seals or chakras.
In the book of Daniel chapter two shows an iron and clay mixture of the feet and ten toes of the metallic image.
The different metals from gold at the head moving on down through silver and bronze to the iron mixed with clay down at the feet and ten toes shows the changing character of the human brain.
fourth beast of Dan.
SEVEN with teeth of iron it's head was fine gold, it's breast amd arms of silver, it's belly and thighs brass, it's legs of iron, it's feet ten toes part iron and part clay.
This is making reference to the five senses. That make up the EGO, As there are five different types of material.
But it had SEVEN teeth
Notice that the feet were made of iron and clay, and iron and clay do not mix, this means that character will crumble, as it is not on soild foundation, then notice the legs were made of iron, and that the midsection of the beast was brass and the neck area was silver, and the head was gold. It was powerful, except for the feet, the foundatuion.
This is the beast or lower nature of mans mind ruled by the lower ego mind.
It has no sturdy foundation, but yet rules like a king. A false king (the ego).
The stone that was cut with no hands, is making reference to the pineal gland, itis the stone that overcomes the four beasts in the book of daniel.
The "stone" that was "cut out without hands" is the pineal gland, the philosophers stone.
The image smote
Daniel 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone (pineal gland) that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. The mountain is the higher mind.
Thus, Jesus Christ, at the second coming destroys the whole image forever and Jesus' own kingdom ("a great mountain") fills the "whole earth." (YOU) The higher mind in meditation.
It is at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ when Jesus destroys the last vestige of "world" (man) Gentile kingdoms, the kingdom is broken in pieces by being smitten on its feet. (The LOWER EGO).
Remember the feet were made if iron and clay, and they do not make a solid foundation. This is just mythology, describing the person, that operates his thoughts and mind on the lower egoic mind (the beast). And who did jesus say your enemies are?
"Your enemies are those of your own house" In other words inside of you, in your consciousness.
It is you and I
Born with our ANIMAL nature
Just look around the world, and look back at history, and ask yourself, who is the real beast?
40 weeeks of gestation is the normal time for a fetus to mature and be born.complete with his/her animal nature.
"I have given man the mind of an animal, until SEVEN times passes by for him"
said GOD
What more do you need???
Talmud Mas. Pesachim 54a Seven things were created before the world was created.The seven ELohim or spirits, or angles of light.
The writing of Revelation is composed of fictitious names, symbolic imagery, and the expectation of an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil (the EGO) death, and raises the righteous to life in a messianic kingdom. It is something viewed as a prophetic revelation. It's all in the brain/mind.
Today the term Apocalypse is often used to mean "end of the world". The word world in bible terminology always means man.
The word revelation means an act of revealing or communicating divine truth , or something that is revealed by God to humans.
In the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John warns us of the day of Armageddon, and the arrival of the Antichrist, or the Man of Sin, who will come during the last days.
It's also believed that the Antichrist and his followers will call themselves Christians, but they will teach deceptive, rather than deliberate, false doctrine.
This also includes misdirection of faith to and endorsement of organizations or individuals promising the realizations of goals that only God's Kingdom can bring to realization, through understandingthe myths and symbolic meanings of the scriptures.
Take heed that no man deceives you. For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ; and shall deceive many. These are the Christiasn ministers, priests, pastors etc..
every one can see that the sons of Israel would by no means have been told thus to steal, and to spoil the Egyptians, unless some arcana were thus to be represented; but what the arcana are may be seen from the signification of "silver," of "gold," and of "garments," and of "Egypt;"
Egypt is always the lower nature of man, and it may also be seen that much the same was there represented as is here represented by Abram, who was rich in silver and gold from Egypt, living off of his lower mind state, controlled by the three kings.
The physical, the intellectual and the emotional nature. The three horses of revelations, never receiving the fourth white horse, the spiritual horse (Jesus), never manifested in the individual, because they never went into meditation.
Meditation is the only way to overcome the lower mind, called the beast, in the book of revelations.
As "silver" signifies truth, so in the opposite sense it signifies falsity; for they who are in falsity think that falsity is truth; as is also evident in the Prophets.
Thou shalt not covet the silver and the gold of the nations, (the lower nature) (material things) nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God; detesting thou shalt detest it (Deut. 7:25, 26)
"the gold of the nations" denotes evils, and their "silver" falsities. Again.
Ye shall not make with Me gods of silver, and gods of gold shall ye not make unto you (Exod. 20:23); These are things that arise out of the lower natured mind, the false Ego mind.
by which in the internal sense nothing else is signified than falsities and cupidities; "gods of silver" are falsities; and "gods of gold" are cupidities. In Isaiah.
In that day shall they cast away every man his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin (Isaiah 31:7);
"idols of silver and idols of gold," denote similar things as before; "your own hands have made them," means that they are from man‘s Own. In Jeremiah.
They are become brutish and foolish; a teaching of vanities is that stock; silver beaten out is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the founder; blue and crimson are their clothing, it is all the work of the wise (Jeremiah 10:8, 9)
denoting the like things, as is very evident.
AC 1552. And in gold. That this signifies goods from truths, is evident from the signification of "gold," as being celestial good, or the good of wisdom and of love as is evident from the things just shown, and also from those shown before.
That the goods here are from truths, follows from what was said in the foregoing chapter, that the Lord conjoined intellectual truths with celestial things.
"Iron is taken from the earth,(man) And copper is smelted from ore." Job 28:2
"And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze" Exod 25:3
"His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters" Rev 1:15
This metal is neither precious nor pure being primarily an alloy of different metals, copper and tin, but may be made with other metals such as zinc, aluminium or nickel. However good quality bronze was highly prized for its strength and durability.
Bronze is also resistant to corrosion and is easy to cast into shape. The two great pillars of cast by Solomon for the Temple were made of bronze (1Kings 7:14-22) Signifying a spiritual strength, but not yet GOLD.
"So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived." Numbers 21:9 Why was God's instruction for a BRONZE serpent?
Bronze is an alloy, and is not pure in itself.
It is made from the combination of different metals.
Bronze is made from copper and tin, and resists corrosion.
It is referring of the corrosion of the human mind, all who look upon it, will not corrode. (die), but shall live.
The ARK was gold, the right hemisphere of the brain where god resides, is always depicted as GOLD, amethyst crystal etc.
Mans mind is always filled with Brass, Tin, bronze, Iron and copper, any time you are reading a Bible story and see the word tin, copper, brass etc. it is referencing the condition of the mind.
The vessels of gold and of silver denote the knowledges of good and truth Become an empty vessel, and you will remain FREE, from them. (the systems of the world). Religion and government.
Empty your cup, as Bruce Lee said. Become an empty cup. (vessel) same thing, different book (TAO) (Buddhism) Etc...
Then your cup (vesssels), sometimes referred as water pots(the first six chakras) can be filled with electromagnetism, as they are opened.
The six water pots must be filled first, this is all the way to the pineal gland, the crown chakra is the SEVENTH, and will open, once the six water pots (chakras are full).This is the six days of creation in the genesis story.
It's all the same!
The Egyptian Book of the Dead
What do the dead of the Ancient Egypt talk about? Is The Book of the Dead more about life than about death?
The Book of the Dead is not a book about death. It is a book about life that conquered death. Strangely enough but such effective title that has become as known as pyramids, mummies and papyrus does not coincide with the content and the idea of the book at all. Moreover, its meaning is opposite to its original title. The Book of the Dead is just a part of the problem.
It has been a long time since the Europeans started thinking of the Ancient Egypt as of the land of dead where living people worshiped death and prepared to die long beforehand, this false thinking has raised many a bushy eyebrow.
Egyptians considered their writing a sacred speech and thought it was invented by the Thoth (Hermes), who was the god of wisdom and knowledge.
The scrolls of sacred books were called the souls of the god Re. The divine origin of the Book of the Dead was obvious and as any divine object it was surrounded by mystery. One of its chapters claims that the book is more useful than any ceremonies and it should be hidden from the eyes of man.
This is how Egyptians themselves treated this sacred masterpiece. It is impossible to grasp the sense and spirit of their culture without understanding their own attitude towards this book. This book contains too many notions and beliefs to be underestimated.
The Bible is written in the same venacular, death, wars, killing etc.., a sacred speech (MYTHOLOGY), the DEATH in both the Egyptian book of the dead and the death in the Bible is referring to the same death, the death of the lower man, the old nature, The death of the EGO mind, that must resurrect to a new life and light.
And like the Egyptian book of the dead, the Books that make up the Bible are not meant for the eyes of the common man, and should be HIDDEN from their eyes, for it too is surrounded by mystery, that the brutish man will never understand, nor can he.
THE DEVIL
The Devil, as he is commonly referred to, is not who we think. If you look at the origins of the word, they inform us about the exact meaning of his name, and reveal that the interpretation and ideas we have, are often wrong.
Origins of the Devil
The word 'devil' originates from the Greed diabolos, meaning literally, "he who casts here and there, disunites, separates, and confuses". It is the human EGO. It was used by the Greek translators of the Bible to translate the Hebrew satan, the prosecutor.
Indeed, according to Hebraic tradition, one of the functions of the Evil One, was to prosecute the righteous in God's Tribunal. For the Greeks, diabolos was an accuser, a slanderer, and a rather unpleasant character, one controlled by the lower mind, ruled by the Pharoh of Egypt.
It was only during the 19th century that the Latin diabolus gave the old French words diaule and deable, meaning demon. According to the original meaning of the word, there is nothing bad, negative, or ill-bearing about a demon.
It was only at the start of the 16th century that 'demon' took on the meaning of diabolical spirit, evil angel, fallen angel or devil. Before that time, the Greek 'daimon' possessed the divine and beneficial power to allocate and to share out.
A 'daimon' was the genie, or protective spirit attached to each man or to each element of nature.
In other words, he had the same attributes and the same functions as the famous Genies of Nature who inspired Dionysius the Areopagite to devise his celestial hierarchy of angels.
Satan, Evil incarnate, is often described as a sinister being, with a horned forehead and hoofed feet. So much for the Mythology of the evil one, called satan, that old devil. It is us, we humans that are the Devil.
As evidenced by the condition of the world today, and yesterday. Man is responsible.
Religion has convinced you that the Devil made us do it, yes he did, because he is the EGO, run amuck. that person missed the message, because he wasn't tuned into the right radio frequency, or he went to the fridge to get another beer, because Nascar was on TV.
THE BEASTS AND METALS IN THE BIBLE ARE ALWAYS REFERRING TO THE STATE OF A PERSONS MIND/CONSCIOUSNESS. SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION.
Ezekiel 22:18
Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
God declares, "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine" (Hag. 2:8). Because of man's corrupt nature.
But far more valuable than silver and gold is God's word (Ps. 19:10). We were redeemed not with silver and gold but with the precious blood of Christ (1 Pet. 1:18-19).
God sends us trials so that our faith, "of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire," might inspire us until we find ourselves in the city of God, which is paved with streets of gold (Rev. 21:21).

Manners & Customs: Metal Workers
Metal Workers and Metallurgy in the Ancient World
Blacksmiths Blacksmiths. In the days of King Saul the Philistines put a ban on Hebrew blacksmiths. "Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears" (I Samuel 13:19). The Philistines required the Hebrews to bring their coulters and mattocks to the vicinity of Ramle to be sharpened, and this district in the Valley of Ajalon for many years afterward came to be known as the Valley of Smiths.
But Jewish blacksmiths were active in the days of Isaiah, for he said: "The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers" (Isaiah 44:12). Isaiah refers to the blacksmith's anvil (Isaiah 41:7), and Jeremiah makes mention of his bellows (Jeremiah 6:29).
The primitive type of anvil that has been in use for centuries is simply a cube of iron that has been inserted in a block of oak log. The old type of bellows, which is worked by hand, is made of the skin either of a goat or of a cow with the hair left on it. [Manners And Customs of Bible Lands]
Coppersmiths Coppersmiths. Moses described the land of Canaan as being "a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass [copper]" (Deuteronomy 8:9). Deposits of copper and iron have been discovered along the length of Wadi Araba which leads to the Gulf of Akaba. An excavation at Tel el Kheleifeh, which is the site of ancient Ezion-geber, King Solomon's port city, has revealed that some of Solomon's copper and iron refineries were located there.
The builders of the smelters at Ezion-geber faced their furnaces toward the prevailing wind which was northwest. Winds that continued steadily blew through flue holes and kept the fire in the furnace rooms burning. Thus in those days the same principle essentially was employed as that of the Bessemer blast furnace of modern times.
Solomon must have carried on a thriving business in copper. Scripture says: "And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass [i.e., burnished copper]" (I Kings 7:45). [Manners And Customs of Bible Lands]
Metal Working METAL WORKERS A study of working with metal would need to begin with "Tubal-cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron" (Genesis 4:22). That is, he was the forger of every cutting instrument of brass [copper] and iron. The Orientals who lived three to four thousand years ago were very advanced in the mechanical arts. Some of the work of those skilled ancient workmen, as brought to light by archaeologists is superior to anything the world has produced since. [Manners And Customs of Bible Lands]
Smith in Easton's Bible Dictionary The Hebrews were not permitted by the Philistines in the days of Samuel to have a smith amongst them, lest they should make them swords and spears (1 Sam. 13:19). Thus the Philistines sought to make their conquest permanent (comp. 2 Kings 24:16).
Smith in Naves Topical Bible (A worker in metals) -Tubal-cain Ge 4:22 -Bezaleel Ex 31:1-11 -The Philistines 1Sa 13:19 -Jewish, carried away captive to Babylon 2Ki 24:14; Jer 24:1 -The manufacturers of idols Isa 41:7; 44:12 -Genius of, from God Ex 31:3-5; 35:30-35; Isa 54:16
Smith Scripture - 1 Samuel 13:19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them] swords or spears:
Smith Scripture - 2 Kings 24:14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, [even] ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
Smith Scripture - Exodus 31:4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Smith Scripture - Genesis 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah.
Smith Scripture - Isaiah 41:7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he that smootheth [with] the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It [is] ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, [that] it should not be moved.
Smith Scripture - Isaiah 44:12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
Smith scripture - Isaiah 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
Smith Scripture - Jeremiah 24:1 The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs [were] set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Workers of Silver and Gold Silversmiths and goldsmiths. Nehemiah mentions the presence of goldsmiths (Nehemiah 3:8), and the most famous example of a silversmith is Demetrius, whose business was interfered with by the evangelistic work of the Apostle Paul (Acts 19:24). The Apostle Peter used the goldsmith's task as an illustration of the trial of the Christian's faith.
"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth might be found unto praise and honor" (I Peter 1:7). The apostle is describing an old-time goldsmith who places his crude ore in a crucible and then applies the heat to melt it. When the impurities come to the surface they are skimmed off.
When the workman is able to see his face reflected clearly in the surface of the molten liquid, he takes it away from the fire, and knows that he has pure gold left. [Manners And Customs of Bible Lands]
