In this powerful book the author confronts the reader with many challenges regarding the orthodox approach to the life of Jesus and the history of Christianity. He points his critical finger at many of the rigid dogmas as well as the literal interpretation of Biblical stories, which he asserts have created bigotry and mental servitude and stifled a real understanding of the Christian message.
For Dr. Alvin Body Kuhn the true meaning of Christianity is to be found in its mystical teaching. He calls for a revival of the effort to discover the esoteric significance of the Christian heritage, to understand the allegorical method of Biblical interpretation, and to find behind the myths, dramas, symbols and allegories, the spiritual vision which they embody. Then there will occur, he says, a new birth for Christianity and a new enlightenment.
The Bible
The history of man's efforts to utilize this code of cryptic wisdom in the ordering of his life activity is the saga of world religion. And this story turns to tragedy when the posterity to which the heritage of arcane wisdom was transmitted proved obtuse to the divine message embodied in archetypal imagery, as well as to the perception of the underlying unity of the whole structure of truth.
Thus there followed a general disintegration of this delicate structure, resulting in the weakening and the derationalization of religion, with the fateful results which humanity has been experiencing ever since.
The present break with two thousand years of a literal reading of the cryptograms of arcane wisdom is in every respect the esoteric significance of our scriptural heritage. Science has largely restored to the world the basic knowledge of the constitution of real being, the fiery core of universal life. Now, to accompany this illumination there must come the restoration of the structure of an equally scientific synthesis of truth in the domain of religion and philosophy, revealing the ultimate unity of all knowledge.
The transition now in progress will push the human mind far ahead in its march toward illumination. It will be a stride toward the attainment of a stable balance between the realism of common experience and the fantasy with which man inevitably tends to apostatize the realities of the world conceived to be lying above the range of rational meaning.
"Don't be a minister of the letter (literal), for the letter (literal) reading KILLS, but the spirit (spiritually read), giveth LIFE" The Bible.
Never read ancient mythology LITERALLY! No, no, no, it's a sin!
It's in fact the is no SIN, GREATER then this.
EZEKIEL'S WHEELS, COSMIC GENERATORS, CHAKRAS, SEVEN SEALS,DHARMA WHEEL, TIBETAN PRAYER WHEEL
Chakras. Chakra is a word also used for wheel. Chakras can be thought of as wheels of the mind that dwell in the forest of desires. And desires like wheels themselves are great motivating forces. Each chakra is a stage by stage playground of desires. Throughout life, one dwells in this forest of desires and one thinks and understands life situations from the standpoint of the chakra in which he normally feels most comfortable. (Ref : Chakras.
Energy Centers of Transformation, Harish Johari) In yogic philosophy, the term chakras refers to the psycho-spiritual centers located along the length of the spine, each of which is associated with a different archetypal principle of consciousness. (Ref : Towards a Sacred Psychology of the Horoscope, Ray Grasse
Chakras, according to Jung reflects the process of individuation. Individuation is the process by which individual beings are formed and differentiated. This therefore, is a process of differentiation, having for its goal the development of individual personality. (Ref: Chakras. Energy Centers of Transformation, Harish Johari) Jung calls the chakras a precisely developed system of “psychic layers, of localizations of consciousness up from the region of perineum to the top of the head”or the flower like centers for various seats of consciousness. (Ref: Archetypal Chakras, Arnold Bittlinger)
The Seven Aish ('Flames')
The seven 'Flames' are associated with the Fire element (Heb. letter: Shin, ש) and collectively rule over the entire Jacob's Wheel scheme. More specifically, each one of the Flames rules over one of the seven major spokes of the Jacob's Wheel master mandala.
The seven Flames are located in the central 'key' mandala of Jacob's Wheel and govern the scheme from that central location.
"And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire." [Ezekiel 1:4]
This quote from Ezekiel describes a central fire ('infolding upon itself') surrounded by a 'brightness'. It is an image that symbolizes quite nicely the function of the central 'key' mandala of Jacob's Wheel.
The key mandala is an engine, fueled by spiritual Fire (Shin), that turns the surrounding Wheel about itself simultaneously in two opposing directions, see wagon wheel effect.
Another quote from Ezekiel that symbolically hints at the function of the seven Flames is:
"As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning." [Ezekiel 1:13]
This image emphasizes the process whereby the spiritual fire of Shin (in the symbolic form of lightning) shoots forth out of the central key mandala and infuses the surrounding rings and spokes of Jacob's Wheel.
In the Jacob's Wheel scheme Shin represents the movement of the 'fiery serpent' (i.e. kundalini) and in this context each of the seven Aish oversees the evolution of one of the seven major chakras (i.e. as symbolised by the seven spokes of Jacob's Wheel).
SOLVING THE RIDDLE OF EZEKIEL'S WHEELS :
THE CHARIOTS OF THE CHERUBIM / THE CHARIOTS OF GOD
reposted
The infamous account of Ezekiel 's wheels, often misinterpreted as a primitive description of a UFO encounter, is actually a vision of the hybrid living creatures who populate the celestial narrative. Ezekiel saw four-faced cherubim and the wheels which were assigned to them the four faces of the cardinal points of the zodiac, and a reference to their movement through the heavens (the higher mind).
The word Merkaba (Hebrew: מרכבה "chariot, tank", derived from the ancient Hebrew consonantal root r-k-b with general meaning "to ride (an animal, in a chariot)") is used in the Bible (Ezekiel 1:4-26) to refer to the throne-chariot of god, the four-wheeled vehicle driven by four Cherubim, each of which has four wings and four faces (of a man, lion, ox, and eagle).
The animal in the chariot is your animal mind.
"i have given man the mind of an animal til seven times passes by for him" Daniel
In medieval Judaism, the beginning of the book of Ezekiel was regarded as the most mystical passage in the Bible, and its study was discouraged, except by mature individuals with an extensive grounding.
The 7 candles. They are the 7 Chakra energy wheels aligned with your own endocrine gland system. The wheels within the wheels that regenerate the energies that service specific organisms with your physical embodiments life-light forces.
Each candle emits its own spectral identity. These are the arcs of light covenanted within your physical temple. Each arc is a containment vessel for the quotient of energies spaced and timed to its alignment with the messaging intent of continuum for its co-creation.
As above, so below. When pyramidally joined together these become the crystalline diamonds that align your chakras spectral frequency generators to the messaging intent of the alternating currents of energies being transmitted to and from the Uni-versal Consciousness. You are the physical body for that crystal radio's broadcasting terminal receiver.
Each one of these arcs has an angle aligned to the space sizing required of its resonant spectral harmony. A very small ball of energy tolls within each bell tower much like a pendulum pulsing its timing within its own containment chamber. These are the archangels on assignment to the 3rd dimension only.
ANGELS/ANGLES of LIGHT
Messengers /messenger particles.
Do you See?
Each dimension has its own bandwidth of spectrally coded arc-angles (Archangels) to re-harmonize the verse it is orchestrated to for the continuum of the co-creations. These are the primary rungs for Jacob's 3rd dimensional ladder.
Are you beginning to visualize the greater messaging intent of the pyramids that are the sound stages upon the Giza Plateau? Are you not aware that other pyramids are placed upon each of the acupuncture meridians within the body of Mother Earth?
Our uni-verse's computerized relaying brain center is the Sun. The magnetic carpet of the Sun displays a minimum of 144,000 north and south pole electro-magnetic looping ley lines extending outwards to its unified field displaying the Suns auric emissions to its solar corona.
The north and south pole loops provide the alternating currents of electromagnetic energies to the antennas arrayed for the re-transmissions of its programming message via the 72,000 pulsations of ethereal radio-waves. This being the broadcasting methodology connecting the looping ley lines to the meridians aligned to all universal planetary satellite stations, your chakras.
As the brain center of this universal thought cell's community, the sun has a left Yang hemisphere and a right Yin hemisphere. (these are likened to the EM 3-D reels positioned to each hemisphere on the back of your head) These opposing polarities initiate the circumnavigations of the solar cycles. Please note, Yang is forever chasing after Yin's tail in these co-creative cycles.
The electro-magnetic arcs of the energies aligned to the 12 primary co-creators headquartered within the planetary spheres (chakras), are likened to the color wheels of energies envisioned by Ezekiel.
Astrology and astronomy are one, as are the 12 frequency generators (12 signs of the zodiac), aligned to each of the dimensionally progressive schoolrooms on a divinely orchestrated assignment from the Greater Light.
Each is pre-programmed for their radiations to be mirror imaged, reflected, into the unifying field displayed upon the architectural matrix and its grids for their creative assignments aligned within the inner light body of their co-creations. Think in terms of one octave of color, sound and frequency vibrations harmonically aligned to its descending and ascending ladder.
The twelve cranial nerves of your brain.
the four astrological signs are traditionally represented by the symbols of Man, the Lion, the Bull and the Eagle, and these symbols are frequently seen in esoteric literature, where they often refer to the four elements - earth, air, water, and fire.
The Wheel of Fortune
symbolizes both the concept of periodicity - the natural circular motion of the forces of nature - and evolution - movement in a given direction through this periodicity. This is indicated by the card's title, the wheel symbol in its centre, and by the Hebrew letter "kaph" in the lower right-hand corner.
As a word, Kaph means "clasping hand" and the closed hand symbol here represents the figure of the spiral, this being the shape that a closed hand takes when looked on from above. The spiral symbolizes both periodicity and evolution for its shape indicates both circular motion and movement away from a center.
The circular design in the center of the card is the "Wheel of Ezekiel," as seen by the Biblical prophet and referred to in Ezekiel 1. The eight letters on the outer ring of the wheel take the form of two groups. One group reads "TARO" and the other contains the Hebrew letters "Yod Heh Vav Heh" (YHVH or Jehovah) - sometimes known as the "Tetragrammaton." The word TARO refers both to the cards and the processes they symbolically depict, and, reorganized to ROTA, the concept of periodicity.
The letters YHVH mean "that which was, is, and is to come," and one of the meanings of this phrase is that life takes place in the eternal Now. The alchemical symbols in the second ring are those of Salt, Sulphur, Mercury and Man. The first three are the three principal elements of alchemy, symbolizing the primordial principles which the ancients believe brought our world into being.
The symbol of Aquarius - Man - below them infers that it is the action of man's consciousness that brings about the integration of these forces and, in a like manner, the completion of his evolution.
The three creatures that surround the wheel symbolize the process of evolution. The snake represents the fiery life force, kundalini, that esotericists believe is the guiding principle behind evolution. More will be written about this energy in the chapters that follow.
The jackal-headed figure of Hermanubis represents man as the Western Mystery Schools believe he currently is - only partially evolved.3 The figure's jackal-head infers that it is our head and mind that need to develop further if we are to complete our evolution.
The fact that only Hermanubis' ears rise above the horizontal centre line of the circle infers that it is the development of "inner hearing," or intuition, that will direct the next stage of our evolutionary progress.
The sphinx represents the perfected human state, the individual who has completed his or her own personal evolution. The storm clouds gathering behind the Sphinx give some indication of the "weather conditions" that the designers of the card believed would be prevalent as the final stages of this evolutionary movement neared its completion.
Two of the ideas that the Wheel of Fortune therefore symbolizes relate to the evolution of the species, taking place through the periodic cycles of nature, and the belief that it is human consciousness that is the transforming principle of our world.
The World is similar to the Wheel of Fortune in both layout and symbolism but, in this card, the head of the bull faces outward. This signifies that the completion of human evolution has now taken place. The androgyne "world dancer" figure represents the evolutionarily perfected man or woman - the individual who has achieved the final state, usually known as "cosmic consciousness," or "enlightenment."
Revelation
The biblical book of Revelation, like much of the New Testament, conceals a distinct, esoteric meaning beneath the interpretation usually given it - namely that of it being a piece of visionary writing prophetically relating a grim future for humanity.
We will look a lot more closely at Revelation later and so here only mention that the book details in symbolic form both the mechanism and experience of "kundalini-awakening" - a secret process of initiation by which an individual may complete his or her own personal evolution and achieve enlightenment.
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle - Rev 4:6-8, Authorized King James Version.
The first three chapters of the Revelation introduce the chakras - psycho-spiritual vortices of transformation - the seven churches which are in Asia, identifying each via symbols and relating a little of its positive and negative qualities. With the commencement of Chapter 4, so begins the actual "revelation," the actual, physical and psychical "unveiling" of the Gnosis.
The initiate, John, is seated in deep meditation when he becomes aware of the "four creatures" being seated before the throne. The four creatures here represent the four lower chakras, and the action of them being before the throne infers that they are now under the control of the Higher Self - the immortal part of our being accessible, to the initiate, via intuition. This is the true beginning of the Revelation for, prior to the Higher Self gaining control of the four lower chakras, it was considered too risky for the awakening process later detailed to commence.
As related to our world situation, the action of the four beasts coming before the throne can be said to refer to the planetary bodies studied by the ancients grouping themselves solely in the four astrological signs that the beasts represent. This would mean that, on such a date the four lower chakras of the group mind become under the control of the Divine.
The developmental epocs that have preceded this date may have been filled with death, destruction and disillusionment, but now the Divine presence is in control and the entire world can slowly be steered along the path to enlightenment.
The Great Work
"Nature unaided always fails" - esoteric maxim
The so-called "Great Work" of the esoteric orders is at the heart of all serious esoteric endeavour in both the East and the West. And the "completion" of this Great Work is the supreme goal alluded to in the literature of many different esoteric schools of thought.
It is the "Grail" of classical European mythology, it is the "Wish-fulfilling jewel" of some Buddhist doctrines, it is the "Elixir of Life" of alchemy, and it is the "Reconstruction of the Temple of Jerusalem" referred to in the New Testament - to give but a few examples.
"Completing the Great Work" is therefore the supreme goal of all serious esoteric endeavour, and there are two self-similar fields where activities to this end are undertaken - the human body and the world at large.
Completing the Great Work in the human body is the supreme accomplishment of the individual esoteric practitioner. This goal of the various esoteric traditions is known by different names within each.
To the Western Mystery Schools it is known as achieving cosmic consciousness or Christ consciousness. To the Hindus and Buddhists it is known as achieving enlightenment or entering nirvana. All refer to essentially the same concept, and in this piece I will principally use the term achieving enlightenment.
Western esoteric thought holds that the evolutionary process in Man is not yet complete and that it is individual humans themselves who must undertake the final steps. This is done by the pursuit of certain physical and mental disciplines intended to initiate a specific psycho-physiological transformational process believed to lead one to the final evolutionary state. This process is known in the East as kundalini-awakening. To complete the kundalini-awakening process is to complete one's personal Great Work.
As with the term "cosmic consciousness," the phenomena of kundalini awakening is known by different names to devotees from different fields. However, I shall here use this term as it is the one used by most modern Qabalists.
In traditional Hindu texts, kundalini is usually envisioned in the body in the form of a snake, curled up asleep in the bowels. Once kundalini is aroused, it rises through subtle energy channels in the spine where it sequentially opens a series of transformational vortices, known as the "chakras," bringing about a progressive psychological transformation in the individual.
When the kundalini energy reaches the final, seventh chakra, the process is deemed to have completed and the individual to have been "reborn" in a state known as that of being enlightened, or having achieved cosmic consciousness. Death and rebirth symbolism is frequently used in both Western and Eastern texts relating the process, referring to the notion that the Ego, or "lower self," is believed to die, giving way to the immortal part of our being, the "Higher Self."
Completing the Great Work in the world is seen as being the ultimate goal of the human species and, as we shall see, of the physical universe itself. Undertaking the Great Work here involves subtly directing the cultural evolution of humanity, through the manipulation of occult forces, to create the conditions such that more individuals may complete their own personal Great Work.
The four creatures (beasts), thus here relate the actual process by which matter and intelligence, "mind-stuff," returns to its source. This commences with the evolutionary development of life through to human beings.
It then continues through man's development, from self-consciousness to infinite consciousness which ultimately will bring about the final return to all creation to the unlimited state. The evolutionary process brings about the development of mankind (Aquarius). Man develops kundalini energy in the reproductive system (ruled by Scorpio).
This energy, instead of being dissipated in sexual acts, is driven up the spine (governed by Leo) where it causes the development of the "inner hearing" centres (governed by Taurus), which then lead the initiate on his or her own path to enlightenment and infinite consciousness. Both processes, the evolution of the universe, or consciousness itself, and the evolution of Man's consciousness symbolically resemble one other.
The Moon represents the emotions, or process of subconscious, evolutionary development that our bodies undergo to gradually allow us access to the super conscious state of awareness represented by The Sun.
Esoteric thought holds that Man has to undergo slight changes in brain anatomy, both as individuals and as a species, such that he can experience infinite consciousness. These changes take place as a result of evolution but, it is believed, they can only occur if our culture acts to facilitate them.
In order to direct the evolutionary progress of any organism, certain restrictions have to be placed in its environment. The organism will them attempt to overcome these restrictions by making evolutionary changes.
If a conscious organism is restricted in its behavior, it will subconsciously endeavour to overcome the restrictions by the evolutionary process. At the inception of the Piscean Era, around the year 100 BCE, there were undoubtedly individuals capable of achieving super consciousness but they were insufficient in number to cause all creation to irrevocably return to the unlimited state.
The Philosopher's Stone
The ancient science of alchemy purports to relate the process by which an individual may acquire the ultimate "Elixir of Life" - a magical potion believed to confer on the user both access to super consciousness and, eventually, physical immortality. This Elixir, it is related, flows from the Philosopher's Stone, once the former has been confected by means of an elaborate and highly mystical process. An increasingly open secret amongst those who still interest themselves in this ancient art is that the processes described are largely metaphorical.
All of initial elements that need to be gathered together - the various implements and reagents - are in fact esoteric disciplines that the initiate must undertake in order that he prepare his body to produce the fabled Elixir. The elixir has been called the star fire powder, the gold powder etc...
The Philosopher's Stone itself is believed to be a crystalline accretion that forms in the pineal gland as a result of the kundalini-awakening process. This accretion serves to produce the Elixir of Life and, in the search to discover just what this substance might be, some modern scientific research might usefully be examined.
In the 1970s, scientists discovered that the human body naturally produced, in small quantities, a drug called n,n dimethyltryptamine, better known as DMT - a well-known hallucinogen.
Studies of the effects of DMT, and related tryptamines such as psilocybin or LSD, have shown that they appear to induce forms of unitive or transcendental mental state that closely resemble the state of superconsciousness.
Several papers appeared shortly afterward examining the possible role that this endogenous psychoactive might have in the development of schizophrenia, though the source, manner, and reason for endogenous DMT production has yet to be scientifically established.
It would certainly seem that the natural presence of DMT in the brain, especially if it is being produced by the pineal gland, with its neuronal proximity to the emotional, auditory, and visual centers, would present the basis for a proposed neurobiology of elements of the kundalini-awakening process, and further act as a potential corroboration of some of the ideas of this piece.
Conclusions
The fundamental contention of this chapter is that The Bible provides both a source of knowledge of man's true nature and destiny to those familiar with the symbology and numerology of its texts and further functions as the backbone of a cultural vehicle that acts to bring about the fulfilment of its most important prophetic revelation - that mankind will one day act as the means by which creation will return to its unlimited source.
Corroboration of this hypothesis, such that might exist, is to be found in the texts themselves, related esoterica such as the Tarot major arcana and the ancient science of alchemy, and in some of the revelations of modern science - notably quantum physics, chaos theory, and research into brain anatomy.
The tombstone is the pineal gland, the body is the tomb
body without spirit is a wasteland and vice versa
Preachers and Priests are put in front of us for the purpose of resistance, without resistance there is no growth.
********************************************************************************
The purpose of this article is to address the biblical question of "angelic chariots", and to ascertain exactly what it written therein on the subject. Does the biblical text describe the physical appearance of God's angelic chariots?
I believe that after your read this article you will be able to discern the answer to this question for yourself, as the answer is resoundingly clear.
The Bible also makes reference to chariots of iron, god could not remove the chariots of iron from the cities. more on these chariots later.
Spiritually speaking CHARIOTS are vehicles of the soul, self, or consciousness, on one of the four planes, represented by the four beasts, or four cardinal points of the zodiac.
"the youthful men placed the young maid in their chariot, as their companion for victory, mighty in assemblies." Rig veda
It is by atma-buddhi that victory is gained over the lower nature.
"know the soul to be sitting in the chariot, the body to the chariot, the intellect (buddhi) the charioteer, and the mind reins." He who has no understanding, and he whose mind (reins) is never firmly held, his senses (horses) are unmanageable, like viscous horses of a charioteer. he who rides this chariot comes back for many rounds of re-birth.
But he who has understanding and whose mind is always firmly held, his senses are under control, like the trained horses of a good charioteer.
The body or chariot is the casual body. The charioteer is the spiritual divine ego. The little evolved ego is full of illusions, and fails to control his activities (horses), HIS UNBRIDLED EGO NATURE.
"The great chariot of all things is said to be the most perfect vehicle, which signifies it's archetypal nature as containing the perfection of all soul qualities, and the pattern types of all forms."
it is the buddhic casual body, the same as the "boat of ra." Or Apollo's sun chariot.
No!, it's not an account of an UFO, but is is an IMO (internal moving object).
The Canaanites had iron chariots (Joshua 17:18, Judges 1:19). Jabin, the king of Canaan, had 900 chariots (Judges 4:3), and the Philistines had 30,000 in the time of King Saul.
David captured many chariots from his enemies (2 Samuel 8:4, 10:18).
Solomon had 1,400 chariots (1 Kings 10:26), which, perhaps surprisingly, were chiefly imported from Egypt (1 Kings 10:29). YES THEY ARE imported FROM Egypt.
"They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle" (Revelation 9:9).
Joshua 17:18: “But the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.”
Let me start by laying a biblical foundation for angelic chariots, as well as for the Chariot of God himself, both of which are referenced with various, controlling metaphors in the Old Testament, that also appear in the early interpretive writings of the Jews, Gnostic Christians, and Greeks. I believe that what one will discover is that one can only understand such texts within a modern context.
The Old Testament abounds with texts that speak of how angels came to the earth in ancient times riding in heavenly vehicles that are represented metaphorically as "horses" and "chariots" of God.
Psalm 68:17 is probably the most definitive example of the Old Testament "angelic chariot" texts. This Psalm addresses the chronology of the Jewish Exodus from captivity in Egypt, their encampment at Mount Sinai, and the events that transpired at that time.
"The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands multiplied: the Lord was among them at Sinai, in the [heavenly] Temple/Sanctuary."
Judges 4 4:3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Nine in numerology is the unmanifested ego mind or the physical.
It's also forty, that's why all the scriptures of forty days, forty weeks etc...
Gen 7:4 - Rained 40 days and 40 nights.
Exo 24:18 - Moses on Mount Sinai 40 days and 40 nights.
Exo 34:28 - Moses fasted 40 days and 40 nights.
Num 13:25 - Israel spied out the land 40 days.
Num 14:33 - Israel wandered 40 years.
1Sa 4:18 - Eli led Israel 40 years.
1Sa 17:16 - Goliath taunted Israel 40 days.
1Ki 19:8 - Elijah's trip to horeb took 40 days and 40 nights.
Eze 29:12 - No one will be able to pass through Egypt for 40 years.
Jnh 3:4 - Jonah preached Ninevah would be destroyed in 40 days.
Mat 4:2 - Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights, then tempted.
Act 1:3 - 40 days and 40 nights between resurrection and ascension.
Why the number nine, through out the Earth, the entire Solar system and zodiac? It's Mans NUMBER. YOU are a NINE.
666=18 1+8=9 the number of the beast (YOU).
153 fish=9 and many more.....
nine hundred chariots of iron
because you have NINE openings in your physical body, krishna had nine holes in his flute.
That's why we are nine.
The human gestation is 40 weeks. or 9 months.
WE are 40 and WE are 9 until we become 0 the void. The cosmic man/woman.
In one martial arts style you start out with a white sash, and progress through different colors as you master the style, then once you have mastered that style, you then wear the white sash again. Signifying your completeness, and lack of EGO.
"WE are FORTY when we are born the first time, as a physical human being.
(Physical) Material HUMAN "
"Our second birth, is when we have Opened the SEVEN seals on our backsides. (Spiritual) GOD"
To Summarize, the number FORTY represents MAN, the PHYSICAL, not the SPIRITUAL, which is SEVEN. So in this case, the Bible uses the number FORTY to describe, mans state, apart from the cosmos or god. It's all just Symbolism!
gen 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
NOT LITERALLY! It is the overcoming of the physical as opposed to the spiritual.
And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.- Judges 1:19
Why is it that an all powerful god that created the heavens, the stars, the galaxies, can't remove chariots of iron from a valley?
In Judges 1:19 it says that the Lord was with Judah and he (God) drove out the inhabitants of the mountains. This means that the higher realms of consciousness are free of human thought because that is under God’s control. But the scripture goes on to say that “he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had chariots of iron.”
The valley is the lower mind which is under our control and the chariots of iron are the vehicles of thought that we allow to ride through our minds. The stubborn brutish thoughts of the EGO mind.
These thoughts cannot be subdued by God. They can only be subdued by us when we are wilting to sit in meditation and “take no thought”.
But remember, it the chariots of iron are allowed to roam our mind unchecked, God cannot drive them out because we have chosen to allow them to stay. It is within our power to bring forth the Sun within and allow that power to melt the power of the chariots of iron.
SEE CHARIOTS of IRON at the bottom of the page, also mysteries of metals in the bible.
There are also many Old Testament texts that speak of how certain biblical figures ascended into the heavens, and are acknowledged by biblical scholars as the "heavenly ascension" texts. One of the best and probably most well-known examples of these texts is found in 2 Kings 2:1 and 11, which speak of the heavenly ascension of the prophet Elijah, as therein it is written in verse 1:
"Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up into the heavens by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their was from Gilgal." Verse 11 continues with: "As they continued walking and talking, a Chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah ascended in a whirlwind into the heavens."
There are also many references in the biblical text that speak of the Chariot in which God, himself, came to visit the earth, as is described above in 2 Kings 2 as the Chariot of fire. The reference to "horses of fire" is to the angelic "chariots of God" that accompany God's Chariot which, in the early Jewish interpretive writings is acknowledged as being a "Merkabah."
The biblical prophet, Ezekiel, metaphorically describes God's Merkabah as being a heavenly "throne" [Ez. 1:26], as the Glory of the Lord [Ez.1:28] and as "The Glory of the God of Israel" [Ez. 9:3]. The word Merkabah is derived from two Hebrew words. The first word is "merkab", which means "a chariot, and also "a seat, as in a vehicle. It is also derived from the word "rakab", which means "to ride on" or "to ride in."
Note; that Isreal's main battle tank is called the merkava (iron chariot of god).
Accordingly, that which the prophet describes metaphorically as a "throne" and "the Glory of the Lord", is to be understood to refer to God's Merkabah, the literal translation of which is "Throne-Chariot", and is that which God comes to the earth in visitation..
The noted Dead Sea Scroll scholar, Dr. Geza Vermes, makes the following statement about God's Merkabah: "The divine Throne-Chariot draws its inspiration from Ezekiel (1-10)It depicts the appearance and movement of the Merkabah, the divine Chariot supported and drawn by the cherubim, which is at the same time a throne and a vehicle."
Additionally, the metaphor "Glory of the Lord" is found throughout the Old Testament, and always speaks of God's heavenly presence in a very literal sense, and as in his Throne-Chariot. On closer analysis of the Hebrew metaphor, one finds that the word "glory" gives specificity to the word, within each of those contexts.
The word "glory" literally means "mass" or "substance", and variously rendered by biblical scholars as "glory, body, or house", and is therefore to be understood as being a reference to God's heavenly House, Abode, or Dwelling Place.
Thus, the Merkabah Glory of the Lord can be seen as being a Throne-Chariot that has both substance and mass, and as God's heavenly Dwelling Place. ["In my Father's House are many dwelling places. I go to prepare a placed for you. I will come again to receive you unto myself"]
Many of the early Jewish Merkabah related writings, as well as the early Gnostic Christian writings have their interpretational roots in Ezekiel's biblical vision of the Merkabah and the four chariots of the cherubim.
Both bodies of literature represent Ezekiel's living creatures as heavenly chariots, inside of which were angelic beings. In the section that follows, I will present a wide variety of text sources, all of which represent the Merkabah and Ezekiel's living creatures, wheels within wheel, etc. as wheel-chariots.
Of all of the biblical texts that deal with the subject of heavenly chariots, none parallels the description that is found in the chapters 1 and 10 of the biblical book of the prophet Ezekiel.
In these two chapters Ezekiel describes the physical appearance, operation and movement of what he describes metaphorically as "living creatures, burning coals of fire, wheels within wheels, and cherubim", all of which are synonymous terms that describe the "chariots of God."
Ezekiel likens the chariots to living creatures to which he attributes various anatomical parts, each of which has a specific anatomical location and associated function.
While biblical scholarship has for some time supported an angelic chariot interpretation in Ezekiel, and despite the fact that the prophet renders a detailed description of their physical appearance, operation and movement, scholars have, heretofore, been unable to render a drawing of it physical appearance that is based on a viable translation of the Hebrew text.
One has but to read a few of the various English Bible renderings of Ezekiel chapter 1, in order to see that each renders various areas of the text differently.
One of the reasons for this is that, in ancient Hebrew, one word often has multiple meanings that at times differ vastly from each other. Another reason is that, in the Hebrew language, all words are derivatives of what are called root words. While it is not always the case, there are times when components of the root word meaning influence either the direct translation of or may influence the meaning of the word within a particular context.
In chapter 1 of the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, the prophet describes the appearance of four heavenly objects, to which he refers with the various synonymous metaphors "living creatures" [his description of an unknown technology], "burning coals of fire" [ his description of them as fiery, amber-colored coals or orbs high in the heavens], "wheels within wheels" [his description of a disc-shaped craft under which there is as spinning (turbine-like) wheel], and "cherubim" [which are acknowledged in the early writings as "the chariots of the cherubim"].
While it is the view of mainstream biblical scholarship that the four objects Ezekiel describes are "feather-winged cherubs", the voices of the past, as are reflected in early interpretive literature, paint a totally different picture, as you will see.
I will now take you on a brief journey into antiquity, whereby you might be able to clearly discern the voices of both the prophet Ezekiel himself, and from those ancient people who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls.
You will soon see that the various metaphors the prophet uses to describe what he sees are indeed all synonymous, controlling metaphors, each of which shapes the theological thought and direction within the two texts. So, away we go, as far back as the year 593 B.C.
I will also let you listen to the voices of the early Greeks who made the first translation of the Hebrew biblical text into another language. As such, it is important in that it contains certain renderings that do not always follow the original Hebrew text, which scholars render to as "textual variants." The Greeks translated the entire Old Testament into what is called the Septuagint [or LXX by scholars].
You will also hear the voices of those who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls [DSS], as they have a great deal to say about Ezekiel's various controlling metaphors, as well as those of other early Jews and Gnostic Christian who have something to tell us about Ezekiel's four "angelic chariots."
Ezekiel employs four synonymous, controlling metaphors to describe the four heavenly objects he sees:
1. "Living creatures" [ a technology that he had never seen. It flew, thus, it was alive]
2." Burning coals of fire" [fiery amber orbs in the heavens]
3. "Wheels within wheels" [ flying discs with rotating turbine wheels in the middle of their undersides]
4. "Cherubim" [the early interpretive writings ALL acknowledge "the chariots of the cherubim" in Ezekiel's vision]
5. The fact that these are all synonymous metaphors is resolved within the Ezekiel text, as you will read below.
So, away we go on our voyage into the distant past, whereby we might hear and see what the many voices tell us:
Ez. 1:13: "As for the appearance of the living creatures, they looked like burning coals of fire"
Dead Sea Scrolls: [4Q385 Second Ezekiel] "and there were living beings inside of the coals, like burning coals of fire.
Ez. 10:15: "The cherubim rose from the earth: These were the living creatures that I saw by the river of Chebar."
Ez. 1:20: "for there was a living Spirit inside of the wheels." [Biblical text: "God makes angels his ministering Spirits."]
Ez. 1:16: "The appearance of the wheels and their construction and they each had the same shape like a wheel the middle of another wheel."
Dead Sea Scrolls: [4Q405 Shriot Olat haShabbat] "And when the wheels move forward the holy angels go to the back; they emerge from within the glorious wheels with the likeness of fire."
"and they had a manlike hand attached at the back, under their wings."
Ben Sirah 49:8:[ an early Jewish writing, the later Greek translation of which appears as the canonical book of Sirach in the Catholic Bible.]
"It was Ezekiel who saw the vision of glory that God showed him above/upon the chariot of the cherubim."
"Hypostases of the Archons"; an early Gnostic Christian text:
"the four-faced chariot of the cherubim."
Greek Septuagint : a variant rendering from the Hebrew text in Ez. 43:3: "and the vision of the chariot that I saw was like the one that I saw by the river of Chebar"
Are you beginning to get a mental picture of the "chariots, which are shaped like "wheels" inside of which there are angelic pilots, "fiery coals/orbs" in the heavens, inside of which there are living angelic beings, really are? "
Listen and see", and I will tell you more about Ezekiel's four angelic "chariots!"
It is evident from the above references that the various metaphors "living creatures, burning coals of fire, wheels within wheels and cherubim are all synonymous controlling, chariot-related metaphors.
Ezekiel describes four angelic chariots as "living creatures" to which he attributes various anatomical parts, such as wings, legs, heads, etc, each of which occupies a corresponding anatomical location and function.
Ez.1:23: Under the dome [Oxford Bible] their wings were horizontal, the one [at an angle] towards the other.
Each one had two wings that covered [concealed] its [central, hollow] body on the one quadrant [side], and each one had two wings that covered their bodies on the other quadrant."
Ez. 1:11: "Their wings bisected [divided, separated] from the top [from above; as two upper wings], and two wings covered their bodies: and two of each of those wings joined one to the other [at a distal point; as two lower wings on each of four quadrants]."
This represents a visual and descriptive perspective of one half of the chariot, or two of its four sides or quadrants, as such better describes a wheel-shaped chariot. It is the description of two upper wings and two lower wings.
Ez.1:6: "..and they each had four wings."
Ez.1:8: "And they had a man-like hand, under their wings on their four quadrants."
The Hebrew word for side/s is reva, and is derived from a root, rava, meaning to be quadrate, thus, the "wheel-shaped chariots"[discs] have four quadrants, or quarter-sections.
While all English Bibles render it as "sides", since the chariot is clearly circular, it should accordingly be rendered as "quadrants." Accordingly, if one is to describe the chariot as a whole, it would necessarily have "eight wings."
Greek variant in Ez.10:21:
Heb text: "and they each had four wings."
Greek text: "and they each had eight wings"
This describes the full "wheel-chariot." The Greeks knew how to add! 2+2+2+2=8 wings; as "two wings" on "four quadrants!"
Ez. 1:22:"Over the heads of the living creatures [chariots] was something that looked like a shining glass dome"
[ Dr. Michael Heiser rejects my rendering "dome", although the Oxford Bible renders "dome" in both Ez. 1:22 AND 23.]
Ez. 1:18:"Their [hollow, arched] backs were tall and awesome, and they were encircled by eyes."
The Hebrew word I have rendered as "backs" is errantly rendered in all English Bibles as "rings/rims." It is the word "gab/bot {sing/plural], which specifically means "back/s."
It is derived from the Hebrew root "gooph" which means "to be hollow, or arched." Since Ezekiel describes a "living creature" to which he attributes various anatomical parts and functions, it should be rendered as backs and since the text clearly states that the "back." The back is also "hollow" "circular", thus accounting for the fact that it is "encircled" by round eye-like ports, which are nothing less that viewing ports.
Ez. 10:2:"And he said to the man clothed in linen; 'go within the spinning wheel, under the cherub."
[The Hebrew word rendered as "spinning wheel" is NOT the word that is rendered as "wheel/s" in chapter 1, which is the word "ophan/im." It is the word "galgal", which is derived from the root "galal", which means "to roll, spin, whirl."; COMPARE TO MY NEW TRANSLATION OF EZ. 1:16, BELOW ]
Ez. 1:8:"and they had man-like hands under their wings on their four quadrants."
The chariot has two "wings" on each of its four quadrants!
Dead Sea Scrolls; 4Q385:"...and they had a manlike hand attached at the back under their wings."
Ez. 10:7:And the cherub [chariot] stretched forth a hand from within the cherubim [chariot]
The "man clothed in linen goes inside of the chariot, via an opening hand [entrance] which is "attached" under the chariot's wings. It can only open one way, and that is downward!
Ez. 10:8:
"And the cherubim appeared to have a man-like hand under their wings."

The pattern of gods temple as written in the bible.
THE QUESTION IS, A PATTERN OF WHAT?
Exodus 26:33 says the tabernacle must be built with an outer room called the holy place, an inner room called the holy of holies, and the holy place and the holy of holies must be separated from each other by a curtain or veil.
The human brain has an outer covering called Dura Mater (hard mother), an inner most sensitive area called Pia Mater, (tender mother). Dura Mater and Pia Mater are separated from each other by Arachnoid, the web, or veil, or curtain.
There we have an anatomically correct description of the human brain written over 4000 years ago, and described as the temple, not made with hands, where God dwells. Who wrote it?
RAM
In your computer the place of memory is called
RAM.
In your brain the place of memory is called hippocampus. In the hippocampus is an organ called Ammons Horn. Ammon is the Egyptian deity whose symbol is the Ram Head. So we obviously do not need more religion to solve our problems. We need more RAM.
THE BRAIN AND THE TABERNACLE
WE HAVE DEVELOPED EVIDENCE THAT THE TABERNACLE OF THE BIBLE AND THE HUMAN BRAIN ARE THE SAME
Let us enter the tabernacle
Let us enter the brain The first thing we see as we enter the tabernacle is CHERUBIM.
The first thing we see as we enter the brain is
CEREBRUM
And the scripture says in 1 Kings 6:27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
If you look at a picture Below of the human brain you will see the wings touching both sides and meeting in the middle.
Here's a cross section of the brain showing the Cherubims of ancient scriptures. see the angels wings! They cover the mercy seat or center fornix area of the brain!
Ex 25:22 "And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat."
THE ANGELIC CHERUBIM ARE YOUR CEREBRUM.
SEE THEIR WINGS?
From Stedmans medical dictionary we see the cerebrum of the human brain. The 3rd ventricle and what appear as angels wings, or Cherubim. They are there. Do you see them ?
So now let us take this entire episode out of the normal sky and place it within the dark matter of the mind.
SEE THE WORD CEREBRUM, THAT ROOT CERE MEANS "TO COVER".
WHAT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHERUBIM OF THE TEMPLE?
EXODUS 25:20 "And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings"
THE CHERUBIM COVERED THE MERCY SEAT
THE CEREBRUM COVERS THE BRAIN. THEY ARE THE SAME.
AND THEY BOTH ARE IN THE TEMPLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS.
WHERE THERE IS AN OUTER, AND AN INNER, AND A VEIL IN BETWEEN.
YOUR HEAD.
The Ark of the Covenant is the best known item in the Tabernacle, renowned for its mysterious powers against the enemies of Israel (I Samuel chapters 5 & 6).
The Ark of the Covenant resided in the Holy of Holies, the innermost room of the Tabernacle. Access was restricted to one person only, the high priest. He had to come into the Holy of Holies with the blood of a goat, on behalf of his own and the people of Israel's sins.
The Ark was God's throne in His dwelling place in the Tabernacle.
Most people associate the Ark of the Covenant with judgment and wrath, rightly so. The day is soon coming when God will judge the secrets of people's hearts (Romans 2:16) and "the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth" (Romans 1:18).
"He who formed the eye, do you think He cannot see? or He who planted the ear, do you think He does not hear?" (Psalm 94:9) If you are still not sure, please read about the great white throne of God's judgment in Revelation 20:11-15.
But, there was a cover on the Ark, known as the Mercy Seat, or Propitiation Cover. It was here that the blood of a goat was sprinkled by the high priest on the Day of Atonement, to appease God's righteous anger (propitiate) for the sins of the people of Israel.
(THE HIGH PRIEST IS ALWAYS THE SOLAR (JESUS) PLEXUS ENERGY, THAT RISES THROUGH THE SPINE, AND THE SEVEN CHAKRAS.
Attached to the Ark's covering lid were two Cherubim. God's presence did not dwell inside the box, but remained over the Ark, in between the two Cherubim. Here God dwelt "in unapproachable light" (I Timothy 6:16 Psalm 104:2). The myths always describe things made ode of wood, iron, silver, gold etc. these represent various mental qualities.
Ez. 10:6:"And the man went in and stood within the spinning wheel."
It is a rotating turbine wheel that is located on the chariot's underside.
Ez. 1:16:"The appearance of the wheels and their construction, was like the [sparkling, amber] color of Tarshish [a cut, amber-colored gemstone; compare to the view of the chariot in the photo rendering!]; and they each had the same [double-convex, disc] shape: and their appearance and their operation looked like a [spinning] wheel [ophan] within the middle of another wheel [ophan].
The word I have rendered as "construction" and "operation" is the same Hebrew word and has two different meanings. English Bibles errantly render it both times it appears in the text as either "construction/structure/workmanship" or as "work", which can also be rendered as "operation."
It should be rendered differently each time in the verse. It is the "spinning wheel" that is referenced in Ezekiel 10:2,6,13. The wheels have the same shape. wheels within wheels. If I lived in the year 593 B.C., I could not describe a "flying saucer" in a better way.
Ez. 1:7:"Their legs were rigid, and looked like they were made out of polished brass [amber metal], and the soles of their feet were hoofed [round and flat] like those of a calf."
Psalm 68:17-18; my new translation:
"The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands multiplied; the Lord was among them at Sinai, in the heavenly Temple. You [Moses] were captured and lifted away into [heavenly] captivity.."
Moses clearly made a heavenly ascension. There is also a second Rabbinic tradition that hold to this interpretation of the Sinai event. Moses was "caught up" into the heavens. The AV renders "you lead captivity captive."
The words "captivity captive" are errantly rendered as such. The Hebrew words are "shavita shevy." The word "shavita" is derived from the root "shava", which means "to lead, lift, carry, or otherwise transport AWAY into captivity. [See Strong' Hebrew dictionary] The word "shevy" means "captive" or "captured." Thus, Moses was literally and bodily "captured" and "lead, lifted away into a [heavenly] captivity."
Jewish Midrashim:
"Twenty-two thousand chariots descended at Sinai, and each of them looked exactly like the ones Ezekiel saw."
"Twenty-two thousand chariots descended at Sinai, and each of them looked like the Merkabah."
EZEKIEL CHAPTER 1:4-24: A NEW TRANSLATION
Vs.4) "And I looked [up into the heavens], and saw a whirlwind come from out of the north; an immense cloud that was surrounded by brightness and fire flashing forth continuously in a circle, and in the middle of which there was something that looked like something like a round amber metallic object [NIV Bible translation renders Hebrew "ayin chashmal" [literally "eye of amber", as "glowing metal." It is a round, amber colored metallic orb.
This is God's chariot/Merkabah] 5) And from out of the middle of the fire there came what looked like four living creatures [ four angelic chariots].
This was their appearance; they had [within them] the form of a man 6) but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7)
Their legs were rigid and the soles of their feet were [round and flat] like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like polished brass. 8)
They each had a manlike hand [that was capable of opening and closing] under their wings on each of their four quadrants; and they each had their four faces and their four wings. 9) Their [upper and lower] wings coupled-together [as a double-convex saucer], and when they moved they did not turn their wings to either side; they just moved straight forward [in any direction]. 10)
As for the likeness of their faces, they each had a human like face of a man in front, the face of a lion on the left quadrant, the face of an ox on the right quadrant, and the face of an eagle in the back. 11)
Their [two] wings bisected [horizontally] from the top and two wings covered their bodies: and two wings of each [the upper and lower wings] joined one to the other [at a distal point]. 12) And they moved straight forward: wherever the [angelic] Spirit desired to go, the living creatures moved and, [in so doing], they did not turn [tilt their wings from a horizontal position]. 13)
As for the likeness of the living creatures [as I perceived them in the heavens], they looked like, [amber-colored] burning coals of fire [fiery round coals] that had lights within them that flashed forth intermittently and the fire was bright, and from the fire there came forth [what appeared like] flashes of lightning. 14)
And the living creatures darted back and forth [through the heavens] like flashes of lightning, without turning their wings [to either side] as they moved. 15) And as I looked, one of the living creatures landed/stood on the earth, [whereby I then perceived it as being] and behold, a wheel [was fastened] on the side of the four-faced living creature. 16)
The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like the [sparkling, amber] color of [the gemstone] Tarshish; and they each had the same [circular] shape: and their appearance and their operation was as if there were a [spinning 10:2,6,13] wheel in the middle of a [larger] wheel. 17) And when they moved [through the heavens], they moved in any direction and in so doing, they did not turn their wings [from a horizontal position] as they moved. 18)
As for their [circular, hollow backs [which looked like rings or rims] they were tall and awesome, and were encircled with [round] eyes [like ports]. 19) When the living creatures moved, the wheels [which joined to their side] moved beside them.
And when the living creatures lifted up from off of the earth, the wheels also lifted up beside them. 20)
Wherever the [angelic] Spirit desired to go, and the wheels rose along with them, for there was a living Spirit inside of the wheels. 21) When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved; and when the living creatures stood still [hovered] the wheels also stood, because there was a living Spirit inside of the wheels [who navigated them]. 22)
And there was something that looked like an awesome, clear glass dome that spread-out over the heads of the living creatures. 23)
And under the dome their wings were horizontal, the one [extended at an angle] towards the other; each of them had two wings that covered their [central, hollow] bodies on the one side [quadrant], each one had two wings that covered [concealed from view] their bodies on the other quadrant. 24)
And when the living creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, which was like the sound of roaring water, like the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, like the tumultuous sound of an army: and when they stood [landed] upon the earth, they ceased their wings [from making the sound they made while in flight].
EZEKIEL CHAPTER 10: SELECTED VERSES
Vs. 2) And he spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, 'go within the spinning wheel, under the cherub. Vs. 6) When he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying: 'go within the spinning wheel, underneath the cherubim', then he went in and stood within the spinning wheel. Vs.7) And the cherub opened his hand from within the cherubim [chariot of the cherubim] Vs. 8) The cherubim appeared to have a man-like hand under their wings.
I hope that you enjoyed your journey into antiquity and listening to the voices of the ancients, and to the words of the prophet Ezekiel, whose vision has inspired many of the ancients to seeking the awesome knowledge it contains. I also hope that you have learned form them, and you are now well-equipped to answer the question I ask!
So, I ask you, did the biblical prophet Elijah really, by means of the very same "whirlwind" that Ezekiel describes, literally "ascend into the heavens in a fiery chariot?"
"Look not lo here, nor lo there, for the kingdom of god (heaven), is WITHIN you.
THE LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF THE CHARIOT'S ANATOMICAL PARTS*
*Each of the chariot's anatomical parts occupies a normal anatomical location and related anatomical function, unless otherwise stated in the text. There is one exception, which relates to the "encircling eyes" that are located within the chariot's "back."
The Head:
The chariot's head-portion consists of a dome that is made of a clear, crystal-like material and occupies the chariot's superior-most position. It is part of the chariot's top-mounted, composite dome, the crystal head of which serves as a rotating, navigational dome.
The Four Faces:
Three of the four faces are insignias that are part of a circular ring-like unit that connects superiorly to the clear domed head, occupying the chariot's mid-portion, and inferiorly with stationary, hollow and arched back.
The face identified as "the face of a man", or " human face", is of the chariot's angelic pilot, who sits in the chariot's navigational dome.
The Back:
(rings/rims)
The arched, hollow back occupies the lower part of the chariot's composite dome. It is encircled by eyes, which confirms the fact that it is also circular. The encircling eyes are explained below.
The Eyes:
The eyes surround the chariot's hollow, arched back. The eyes are round and function as ports for looking out from the chariot's hollow, top-mounted dome.
The Wings:
The wings give the chariot its overall circular or wheel-like shape. The chariot has two horizontal wings on each of its four quadrants that extend at an angle, the one towards the other thus connecting together at the distal point. The wings are for flight.
The Wheel in the middle of the wheel:
The greater wheel references the chariot's overall shape, which is circular like a wheel. The wheel in the middle of the greater wheel is a spinning, turbine-like wheel, which functions as the chariot's propulsion system.
The Body:
The body is the hollow, central portion of the chariot that is concealed by two horizontally-extended, connecting wings that present on each of the (circular) chariot's four quadrants and, like the composite dome, is an inhabitable part of the chariot. The opening hand that is located "under their wings on their four quadrants", the function of which is established below.
The Legs:
The legs are straight and unbending, and provide support for the chariot while standing on the ground. Thus, they are incapable of movement or "walking" on the ground. The four legs are position underneath the chariot's wings and are attached to the chariot's body-portion which is "covered" on all four quadrants by the "two covering wings." The legs are made of a polished amber-colored metal that are likened to highly polished brass.
The Feet:
The feet are round and flat, like that sole of a calf's foot, and are made of the same material as the legs. Their round, flat, beveled shape provides the chariot the ability to stand in a level position on the ground.
The Hand:
The opening and closing hand is located under the chariot's wings and functions as an entrance into its hollow, central body.
The Spirit of the Living Creature:
This references the angelic spirit(s), inhabitant(s), or living beings that are stated in the biblical text to be located "inside of the wheel." It also references the face of the man."
The real meaning of all this
The Chariot is your brain
The wheels within wheels are the seven chakras
The four faces of the Cherubim are the four cardinal points of the zodiac
The living creatures represents the living energy, or the electromagnetism that enters each spinning wheel chakras
the eyes represent the the idea that god sees all, the seven elohim, have eyes, they see your spiritual makeup.
The cheribs of course is the two winged Cheribums that cover the brian, and the dome, is the top of the skull, the crystal palace of revelations.
The whole eziekiel account is the KUNDALINI enlightenment process, and is just describing the brain and the chakras, Elijah took off, this is you and having an out of body experience at this seventh seal opening.
it's all symbols and metaphors ONLY!!!
The Glory of the Lord, God's Merkabh: "is at the same time a Throne and a vehicle." The throne is the higher mind.
Christians have no idea of what Ezekiels account means, and others cling to the idea that it is a classic UFO.
It is not!!
It is you!!
All of symbolism is the coming of the cosmic energy within you!
Fire, coals, wheels, angels (angles of light), and all of it, is describing the internal way in which the cosmic energy enlivens the chakras and the body, and eventually the throne (the higher mind).
The Hebrew word Merkabah ("chariot", derived from the consonantal abjad root r-k-b with general meaning "to ride") is used in Ezekiel (1:4-26) to refer to the throne-chariot of God, the four-wheeled vehicle driven by four "chayot" (Hebrew: "living creatures"), each of which has four wings and the four faces of a man, lion, ox, and eagle - the archetypes through which we have passed in our previous lives yet which still provide our Base as in Base Chakra.
They represent the Horse part of the Centaur, the Lion part of the Sphinx. Our animal side is the basis of the selfish competitive ego. Our animal side is the basis of our evolving divinity as the Lotus has its roots in the mud and floats on the surface of the water..
According to the verses in Ezekiel and its attendant commentaries, the analogy of the Merkaba image consists of a chariot made of many angels being driven by the "Likeness of a Man." Four angels form the basic structure of the chariot.
These angels are called the "Chayot" (lit. living creatures). The bodies of the "Chayot" are like that of a human being, but each of them has four faces, corresponding to the four directions the chariot can go (north, east south and west). The faces are that of a man, a lion, an ox (later changed to a child or cherub) and an eagle.
Since there are four angels and each has four faces, there are a total of sixteen faces. Each Chayot angel also has four wings. Two of these wings spread across the length of the chariot and connected with the wings of the angel on the other side. This created a sort of 'box' of wings that formed the perimeter of the chariot. With the remaining two wings, each angel covered its own body. Below, but not attached to the feet of the "Chayot" angels are other angels that are shaped like wheels.
These wheel angels, which are described as "a wheel inside of a wheel", are called "Ophanim" (lit. wheels, cycles or ways). These wheels are not directly under the chariot, but are nearby and along its perimeter. The angel with the face of the man is always on the east side and looks up at the "Likeness of a Man" that drives the chariot. The "Likeness of a Man" sits on a throne made of sapphire.
The Bible later makes mention of a third type of angel found in the Merkaba called "Seraphim" (lit. "burning") angels. These angels appear like flashes of fire continuously ascending and descending. These "Seraphim" angels powered the movement of the chariot.
In the hierarchy of these angels, "Seraphim" are the highest, that is, closest to God, followed by the "Chayot", which are followed by the "Ophanim." The chariot is in a constant state of motion, and the energy behind this movement runs according to this hierarchy. The movement of the "Ophanim" is controlled by the "Chayot" while the movement of the "Chayot" is controlled by the "Seraphim". The movement of all the angels of the chariot are controlled by the "Likeness of a Man" on the Throne.
Note. The Chariot is also extant in the Bhagavad Gita from Hindu sources. The Horses are the emotions, Arjuna in the Chariot represents man and Krishna the driver represents the Soul - the higher chakras of the astral plane on the way to Purusha, Atman and others of the 10,000 names of the One God.
The secret doctrines might not be discussed in public: "Seek not out the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength. But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence; for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret."[4] It must be studied only by exemplary scholars: "Ma'aseh Bereshit must not be explained before two, nor Ma'aseh Merkabah before one, unless he be wise and understands it by himself,"
The secret doctrine might be entrusted only to one who possessed the five qualities enumerated in Isaiah iii. 3 (being experienced in any of five different professions requiring good judgement), and a certain age is, of course, necessary. When R. Johanan wished to initiate R. Eliezer in the Ma'aseh Merkabah, the latter answered, "I am not yet old enough."
Generally, people who are not enlightened can only try to censor and stop the reality of ascent through the astral planes and buddhic planes. No Enlightened Master will ever censor these visions of ascent. Only the Enlightened Rabbis will talk about it and only because they have experience of it. Indeed the unenlightened are those whose blockages above the head will not allow them to ascend in meditation and thus they say bad things about ascent through the higher planes and the reality of God.
People with blockages above the head will have no access to intuition or conscience and indeed will be partially psychopathic with all the power issues that psychopathy brings. Experience of the reality of Enlightenment will stop the power of these psychopaths and thus for thousands of years they have tortured and burnt the saints to make the other people in their power and frighten them so they can have power over them.
This fear is at the basis of all power and control on this planet. A person who is infinitely free can never be a slave. A slave is a proud possession of any psychopath because he has no experience to defeat the lies of the psychopath and thus they will believe anything the psychopath says.
The four Chayot angels represent the basic archetypes that God used to create the current nature of the world. Ofannim, which means "ways", are the ways these archetypes combine to create actual entities that exist in the world. For instance, in the basic elements of the world, the lion represents fire, the third, Solar plexus chakra Chakra, the ox/earth, the Base Chakra, the man/water, the Second Chakra, and the eagle/air, the Heart Chakra.
They are representations of Kundalini Ascent through the chakras towards the Enlightenment of access and integration with the Soul Chakra and higher of the Chakras above the head.
However, in practice, everything in the world is some combination of all four, and the particular combination of each element that exist in each thing are its particular Ofannim or ways. In another example, the four Chayot represent spring, summer, winter and fall. These four types of weather are the archetypal forms. The Ofannim would be the combination of weather that exists on a particular day, which may be a winter-like day within the summer or a summer like day within the winter.
The Man on the throne represents God, who is controlling everything that goes on in the world, and how all of the hierarchical archetypes He set up should interact. The Man on the throne, however, can only drive when the four angels connect their wings which means they are hierarchically integrated.
This means that the Soul Chakra is connected to the Crown Chakra with no energy blockages in the way. The connection is reinforced with more angels so that more spiritual power can flow and similarly with the connection of the Soul Chakra to the Monadic Chakra above it and so on to the Logos Chakra, the Sirius Chakra and on to the Avatar of Synthesis and an infinity of chakras higher to the Heart of God.
This means that God will not be revealed to us by us looking at all four elements (for instance) as separate and independent entities as they too must be connected with no Energy Blockages stopping the connection. However, when one looks at the way that earth, wind, fire and water (for instance) which all oppose each other are able to work together and coexist in complete harmony in the world when they are integrated , this shows that there is really a higher power (God) connected to them and telling these elements how to act.
(The man on the chair driving the chariot of the Merkabah texts and the Charioteer Krishna of the Bhagavad Gita who represents the Soul, the First chakra above the head, the First chakra, "Out of the Box", The Completion of the Octave as the Soul is the eighth chakra of the seven in the Body - and this integration with the Soul is commonly called Enlightenment.) "Not My Will but Thy Will Be Done" - Jesus Christ - he will see how they all can work together and even complement each other. Ultimately, we should strive to realize how all of the forces in the world, though they may seem to conflict can unite when one knows how to use them all to fulfill a higher purpose, namely to serve God.
Christian depiction of the four "animal" symbols of the Evangelists (in corners) According to Timo Eskola, early Christian theology and discourse was influenced by the Jewish Merkabah tradition.
In Christianity, the man, lion, ox, and eagle are used as symbols for the four evangelists (or gospel-writers), and appear frequently in church decorations (and also in the Tarot card "The World", and in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, also the "Wheel of Fortune").
These Creatures are called Zoë (or the Tetramorph), and are constantly surrounding the throne of God in Heaven, along with the twenty-four angelic rulers, the Seraphim, the Cherubim, the seven Archangels, the Ophanim, and countless angels, spirits, and saints, singing praises to the Trinity, and begging Christ to have mercy on humankind.
And of Course this is the Christian explanation which corresponds with the Merkabah Literature of the Torah and the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

"Merkaba Meditation"
We are the Light in Seven Degrees. Yellow, Blue and Red Rays form the pure white Light of the Christ, the Sun/Son of Selflessness and Joy. We touch this vibration under the Christos Degree. Light fills our Oversoul Star under the consecrated vibration of the Priest Degree. This Star is the Oversoul’s "seat of thinking" and it rests just above the head. Light from our Star shines through the three Windows of the Soul, open to the Yellow, Blue and Red Rays.
They recombine to form the White Light of the Christ that strikes the optic chiasma of the thalamus and enters the pineal and pituitary. Light then descends the spine to different parts of the body as healing rays. Thus, we open the three Windows of the Soul to New Jerusalem.
The Master Degree begins at the throat chakra, the "I-me-my" center. Here we begin to conquer the little self, not just control it. Consecrated mastery opens the three windows of the soul at the brow chakra so we see, hear and speak without self. The thyroid gland is the Adept’s seat of power. The throat chakra is the I-me-my center, the point of final crossing out of self.
The navel chakra and spleen are one under the Disciple Degree. The navel chakra lies between the thyroid and solar plexus. The sphincter muscle at the navel center is the outlet for splenic things like gossip, negativity and verbal violence. The only intake at this center is an entity entering for "possession." The focus of Light ascends from the navel chakra, as we ascend in consciousness.
The Neophyte Degree rules the sacrum plexus nerve ganglia and center, which lies below the sacroiliac, at the base of the spine. The letter "A" within an inverted triangle represents the sacrum. The sacral nerves and chakra are often frozen, especially in those who worked at killing desire under certain Eastern beliefs. We cannot kill desire, but we can lift it. A frozen lower creative center causes the individual to be inarticulate in expressing love and affection.

THE CHAKRA SYSTEM
THERE ARE SEVEN MAJOR ENERGY CENTERS OR FOCUSES IN OUR BODY'S AS A HOLISTIC SYSTEM, WHICH CORRESPOND TO THE MATRIX OF THE ONE INFINITE CREATOR. EACH CHAKRA IS AN OCTAVE DENSITY OF THE ×ETERNALØ BEINGS THAT WE CALL GOD!!! THIS TERM OCTAVE IS ALSO UNDERSTOOD AS THE ''UNIVERSAL MAGNETIC FIELD''
THE WORD CHAKRA IS A ''SANSKRIT'' WORD WHICH MEANS ''WHEEL'' OF LIGHT!!! THESE WHEELS HAVE ALSO BEEN SPOKEN OF IN THE '''BIBLE''', IN ''EZEKIEL'' CHAPTER 1 VERSE 16 , THEY REPRESENT AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPIRIT OF MAN, AS IT IS KNOWN AS THE CHRIST!!!!
FOR TO KNOW THE CHRIST IS TO KNOW THE WHEELS OF LIGHT! FOR WITHIN THESE WHEELS IS TO KNOW THY SELF AS IT IS WRITTEN, TO WAKE UP!! THE SEVEN CHAKRAS CORRESPOND TO THE UNDERSTANDINGS OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS AND HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL-ELOHIM CHARACTERISTICS AND SYSTEMS. THESE SYSTEMS ARE THAT WHICH SUSTAIN OUR BODY COMPLEX.
THROUGH THE MIND AND BODY WE CAN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND OUR SPIRIT SELF-SOUL, AN AWAKENED CHILD IN TIME AND SPACE. AS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN FOCUS-SON OR CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE FATHER-INFINITY WE BEGIN TO SEE HOW MAN FITS IN, AS HIS CHILDREN-FOCUS IN THE CREATION-CLAY OF MATTER!!! FOR WE ARE MORE THAN OUR FLESH AND BLOOD, WE ARE OUR SPIRIT OF LIFE. FOR WITH OUT OUR SPIRIT-CHAKRAS WHO WOULD LIVE LIFE!!?
THE MAIN PURPOSE IN WORKING WITH AND UNDERSTANDING THE CHAKRAS IS TO CREATE AN INTEGRATION OF BEING AND WHOLENESS OF SPIRIT WITHIN OURSELVES. ULTIMATELY, WE BEGIN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF OURSELVES BE IT OF THE MIND BODY OR SPIRIT ALL WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE A MIND BODY SPIRIT COMPLEX.
WE MUST BEGIN TO ACKNOWLEDGE ACCEPT AND INTEGRATE ALL LEVELS OF OUR BEING. EACH OF THE SEVEN CHAKRAS AS LIGHT CORRESPOND TO THE SEVEN COLORS OF THE RAINBOW, WHICH COLOR IS THE ACTIVITY OR VIBRATION OF EACH CHAKRA-DENSITY OF THE ONE INFINITE CREATOR, KNOWN AS ''THE ONE.
TO HELP US IN THIS PROCESS OF AWAKENING-ACTIVATION IT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT EACH OF THE CHAKRAS ARE ''WINDOWS'' TO OUR CONSCIOUSNESS OF LIFE. SO IT IS THAT WE FEED OUR SOUL, AND GROW TO THAT WHICH THERE IS NO END. THEREFORE TO KNOW THY SELF IS TO KNOW THE CHRIST!!! AND IT WAS SAID, ''YOU SHALL DO AS I HAVE DONE!!!''
REALIZING THIS BRINGS TREMENDOUS INSIGHT INTO HOW WE OURSELVES AFFECT OUR MINDS, BODIES, AND CIRCUMSTANCES FOR BETTER OR WORSE. THUS IT HAS BEEN SAID, ''YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK, HAVING BECOME WHAT YOU HAVE THOUGHT, THEREFORE YESTERDAY WILL BE TODAY'S TOMORROW UNTIL YOU CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS!!!'' THROUGH THE CHAKRAS-CHURCHES IS THAT NARROW WAY TO CHRIST!

SYMBOLISM OF THE MOOLADHARA CHAKRA
THE FOUR KHERUBIM (THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES) AND THE MOOLADHARA CHAKRA/ THE FOUR ARMS OF SHRI GANESHA
The four petals of the Mooladhara chakra can be likened to the four arms of the Hindu deity Shri Ganesha. In traditional iconography He is shown holding a different object in each of His four hands.
The Mooladhara chakra, with its four petals, or sub-plexuses, is the foundation of the Tree of Life, or the subtle sytem of seven chakras (energy centres), in the human body. The Mooladhara Chakra gives us our grounding in Reality, and the sense of orientation in space.
The Mooladhara Chakra is the Primordial 'Fourness' of the universe, the Quaternity: the four cardinal points, the four elements, the four pillars upholding Reality, The four Kherubim or 'Living Creatures': Bull, Lion, Angel/Man, and Eagle.
These power your emotional (animal nature), center.
The Kherubim were a special order of angels with access to the presence of God, and they appear several times in the Bible: in Ezekiel's vision, in the Book of Daniel, and in the Revelation. In later times the awesome power of the Kherubim was forgotten as people preferred the cuddlier, safer image of the baby'cherub'.
The quality of innocence was retained however. Shri Ganesha is the embodiment of child-like innocence and humility, but also the power which supports all things, and destroys evil. The four evangelists are linked by Christian tradition to the Four Living Creatures and the four fixed signs of the Zodiac (Scorpio is commonly a scorpion, associated with death, but the higher aspect of this sign is the eagle or Phoenix which transcends death).
The Quaternity is also the four heads of Brahma- the creative power of the Divine. Before there can be Creation there must be a foundation on Innocence and, according to Hinduism, Lord Ganesha was the first of all deities created.
The Sanskrit name of the Base Chakra, Mooladhara Chakra, means 'support of the Root(Kundalini)' because it supports the whole Tree. The prophet Ezekiel described the four Kherubim as being the bearers of the Chariot of God- the Merkabah. In Hindu mythology the principle deities each have their own 'vahana'or vehicle.
In the ranks of the Hindu vahanas we see the Four Kherubim appear: The Goddess Devi rides a lion(Leo), Vishnu the eagle Garuda(Scorpio), Shiva the bull Nandi (Taurus), and the Kundalini is the vehicle of mankind(Aquarius). On his journey through the seven heavens (the seven chakras) Muhammad rode on Al Buraq, a feminine horse-like creature comparable to Kundalini.
The four fixed signs of the Zodiac: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius represent the four cardinal directions of space in the Macrocosm.
They also must represent the four cardinal points in the subtle system of the human body- the Microcosm. Leo would then be, perhaps the right aspect of the Nabhi or Navel Chakra, which has the quality of royal dignity (the lion was a symbol of majesty, strength and courage to the Hebrews).
Taurus is perhaps the left aspect of the Nabhi Chakra, which represents food and peacefulness (In ancient Israel the bull, or ox, was used for agriculture and as a food sacrifice to God). Shri Mataji, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, has said that Aquarius (the pourer-out of energy) represents the Kundalini- the root of the Tree of Life.
Shri Mataji has linked the sign of Scorpio to the Sahasrara or Crown Chakra which has the quality of Rebirth (death of the ego), immortality, and transcendence. (The eagle was considered an immortal, self-renewing bird, like the Phoenix, in Israel) If the Nabhi is taken as the centre of the subtle system of the human body then the four Living Creatures, mentioned in the Bible, represent its extremities: left and right nabhi, root and crown.
In "The Splendour that was Egypt" Murray has pointed out the interesting similarity between the Four Kherubim (The Four Living Creatures) in the Old Testament, and the four sons of Horus. The Egyptian Solar deity Horus shares some similarities to Shri Ganesha. Both are the son of the most important divine couple: Shiva-Shakti in India, and Osiris-Isis in Egypt.
Osiris and Shiva also have common characteristics- they both rule over the afterlife and have a white bull as a vehicle or companion. Horus was said to have had four sons, who bear some resemblances to the Four Living Creatures.
The Sons of Horus were the gods of the cardinal points of the compass and, like the four Kherubim, took the form of three beasts and a human/angel. Both Horus and Shri Ganesha were celibate, so it could be supposed that the four 'sons' were actually four aspects of the deity.
These are the attributes of the four arms of Lord Ganesha with possible correspondences to the four fixed signs of the Zodiac: Shri Ganesha's upper left hand holding a noose, or snake (represents the Kundalini). Therefore this arm could correspond to Aquarius. Lower left hand- holding or offering food, the providence of the earth (Taurus?). Lower right hand- gesture of benediction, assurance (Leo?). Upper right hand holding an axe (Scorpio?).
chakras
Each of the seven body chakras is a pulsing, holographic center of life-force energy that has a regulating effect on specific organs, glands, and aspects of mental and emotional experience. A valuable way to understand chakras is as energy transformers.
Each one “steps down” high-frequency universal energy to successively lower frequencies that support proper functioning of parts of the body. Each of these frequency levels manifests as a color of light emitted by the chakra.
The colors associated with the chakras higher on the body vibrate at higher frequencies than the colors of the lower chakras. For example, violet, the native color of the crown chakra, vibrates at a frequency that is almost twice as fast as red, the native color of the root chakra.
This suggests that the brain and pineal body are powered and nurtured by higher frequency energy that would be disruptive and stressful if applied to the reproductive, eliminative and sexual organs associated with the root chakra.
Let’s take a look at the functions and symptoms of the solar-plexus chakra. The solar plexus chakra influences or “rules” the digestive organs, the muscular systems in general, the liver and gallbladder.
It also has a general governing effect on the limbs, particularly the elbow and knee joints. On a consciousness level, it expresses personal will, ego, sense of self and effectiveness at relating to or influencing other people and animals.
A good CEO, military officer or dog trainer, for example, must have a strong and well-developed solar plexus center. When this center is blocked by various internalized fears, self-doubt and limiting beliefs, people have difficulty getting what they want in life or feeling deep emotions, and easily are subject to anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorders, worry and paranoia.
Physical diseases associated with the solar plexus center include stomach ulcers, intestinal tumors, diabetes, pancreatitis, indigestion, anorexia/bulimia, hepatitis, cirrhosis, adrenal imbalances, colon diseases, arthroscopy (stiffness of the joints) and many forms of severe mental illness.
It also is my observation that people with addictive personalities, insomnia and some forms of depression tend to have overactive or blocked solar plexus centers. Do you recognize any of these symptoms in you?
Many people who do not have overt diseases listed above tend to have low-grade feelings of unhappiness, fatigue or vague complaints that arise from an inner stalemate between their efforts to heal or uplift themselves and the underlying imbalances of the chakra. This includes many idealistic people who practice holistic health or spirituality.
The seven chakras, are the seven seals in the book of revelations in the bible.

THE CHARIOT OF EZEKIEL. AURIGA
It is said that the prophet Ezekiel rose to heaven in a chariot with fiery spinning wheels. This may be taken as a reference to the activation of the chakra centres along the human spine by the fiery power of kundalini, when it rises up the spine.
In the Egyptian and Greek Mysteries the Hierophant would raise his thyrsus or Rod of Power up the spine of the candidate, thus causing the serpent fire of kundalini to flow up the spine, thus bringing the chakra system into full operation.
This in turn allowed the neophyte to be taken out of the physical body to experience life on the astral or heavenly planes.
The Tarot card of the Chariot is pulled by two Egyptian sphinxes, one white and the other black. These symbolize the duality of Spirit and Matter. The mind uses the Spirit to redeem Matter.

From Daniel
The Vision: Four Beasts from the Sea
"I was looking in my vision by night, and then, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. "And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another.
• Lion. "The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it.
Bear. "And then, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, "Arise, eat much meat!'
Leopard. "After this I kept looking, and then, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
Terrible Beast. "After this I kept looking in the night visions, and then, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It engulfed and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. (Daniel 7: 2-7)
Daniel saw a wind-whipped sea, out of which four fierce and ferocious beasts march out in strange succession. Wind, water and beasts are common symbols in Bible prophecy. Let us look at what they mean when used in prophetic applications:
From the book of revelations
13:2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
The beast which I saw was like a leopard,
A leopard cannot change its spots.
This turning away from God is intrinsically and irredeemably evil.
It cannot be 'ignored', 'reformed', 'changed' or 'modified'.
Here the writer is giving in symbolism the power of this lower beastly mind.
Like a leopard, because leopards stalk their pray, and move will cunning and agility and pounce upon their pray, and the poor unsuspecting critter had no idea this beast was coming.
Have you ever been blind sided by someone’s rage totally unsuspecting?
That is the leopard.
The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. (13:3) One of his heads
The elements of the normal human personality are symbolized in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Seals of the Revelation of John. Each of these can be referred to as a 'head of the beast'.
His feet (the lower mind), was like a bear.
Bears feet are huge and powerful, and have extremely nasty claws, in short they can rip apart a tree with those immense claws.
You have seen this person before!
And a mouth like a lion.
They roar indeed, they scream and yell, they make enough noise to be heard blocks away, then the neighbors call the police.
This is the lion, the loud mouth, the loud person, the boisterous person. The chitter chatter minded person.
I bet you have a lion if your department. maybe a co-worker or even your own boss, or maybe you are one.
I have seen these lions my whole working life, and so have you!
Another meaning of the lion headed.
Daniel in the lions den.
This mythology, which unfortunately was taken literally by people who recently jumped into the lion’s den, is a symbolic tale using the lions to represent the systems of the world, religions, governments, etc.
Daniel represents those who have been strengthened within so that they can live in the midst of the warring minds, the power grabbers, and yet not be touched by their external actions. They will roar and you will hear them but they will not harm you. In other words they will never be able to destroy your spirit no matter how loud they roar.
You must become a type of Daniel
And again notice that the beast is three in number, representing the physical, the intellectual and the emotional nature.
The dragon (the lower ego nature) empowers this beastly mind. The EGO
Yes, lions, bears, leopards and dragons.
You have seen all these animals before. Much authority is given to this beastly mind, and throne of the abyss, the first three chakras.
The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
The lower mind empowers these animal qualities of your mind, his throne.
Soon to dethroned and cast down by the fire from above.
"I have given man the mind of a beast til seven times passes by for him" said god of the Bible in Daniel.
Matthew 24:27-28 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
When the sevens become the sevens, the true power of God will be revealed.
Now look at it!!
John 16:12 I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
Twelve tribes of ISRAEL
"and behold, a wheel [was fastened] on the side of the four-faced living creature. 16)"
Ez. 1:4-5: "And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud also, out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures." (KJV)
They each had a manlike hand [that was capable of opening and closing] under their wings on each of their four quadrants; and they each had their four faces and their four wings. 9) Their [upper and lower] wings coupled-together [as a double-convex saucer], and when they moved they did not turn their wings to either side; they just moved straight forward [in any direction]. 10)
As for the likeness of their faces, they each had a human like face of a man (aquarius) in front, the face of a lion (leo) on the left quadrant, the face of an ox( taurus the bull) on the right quadrant, and the face of an eagle(scorpio) in the back. 11)
Do you see that the vision is the four cardinal points of the zodiac, it should be clear by now.
The four quadrants are:
1.Cosmic Cosmic Aquarius sector face of the man
2.Monadic Sidereal Taurus sector the bull or ox
3.Individuality Solar Leo sector the lion
4.Personality Lunar Scorpio sector the eagle
The "squaring of the circle" is one of the keys to the Mysteries. The Bible contains the key to the four quadrants of the circle in the slightly distorted form given in the. lists of the twelve tribes of Israel in Genesis 49.3-27 and Numbers 2.3-29.
It is demonstrated in the following tables that the twelve tribes have definite astrological associations. This implies that all religions have an astrological key to their interpretation. An outline of the key and its application to Christianity and various mythological systems of thought is given in this Book. (See also the companion volume Aquarian Mythology.)
The twelve signs of the zodiac are symbolized by the city with twelve gates in Revelation, the altar of twelve stones erected by Moses, the twelve tribes of Israel, and the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ.
The Fixed Signs and the Twelve Tribes.
The four great beasts or Tetramorphs described in the Book of Revelations are the four fixed signs of the zodiac.
Symbol Sign Element Tribe Direction
Lion Leo Fire Judah East/LIGHT
Eagle Scorpio Water Dan North/Subconscious
Man Aquarius Air Reuben South/conscious
Bull Taurus Earth Ephraim West/physical
The compass positions of these four tribes are given in Numbers 2.3-29. The four fixed signs represented the Equinoxes and Solstices some 6,000 years ago. Because of the precession of the Equinoctial Point, at the rate of 2,160 years per sign, the fixed signs have given way to the cardinal signs, then the mutable signs. We have now entered the Aquarian Age and a return to the fixed cross.

The Signs of the Twelve Tribes
(a) Capricorn to Aquarius
The compass directions are given in Numbers 2.3-29.
North East South West
Dan Judah Reuben Ephraim
Asher Issachar Simeon Manasseh
Naphtali Zebulon Gad Benjamin
The correct order of the tribes is as follows.
North East South West
Issachar Benjamin Naphtali Zebulon
Reuben Ephraim Judah Dan
Gad Simeon Asher Joseph
Confirmation of the Order
Issachar as Capricorn
Issachar is described as an ass (Gen. 49.14) between two burdens (the microcosmic and macrocosmic divisions of the circle). He has treasures hid in the sand or earth. (Deut. 33. 19) Capricorn is an earth sign and the ass is a symbol of Saturn-Capricorn.
Reuben as Aquarius
Reuben has might, strength and power. (Gen. 49.3) These are the cosmic energies of Fohat emanating from Capricorn. He is unstable as water (the snow thaw after winter and the Aquarian symbol of the man with the water pots). He is the first-born from Capricorn.
The Signs of the Twelve Tribes
Pisces to Taurus
Gad means to walk about on the feet, ruled, by Pisces. Gad is also Dag or Dagon the fish-man from the Great Sea of Pisces who instructs mankind. This is the issuance of the Avatar or spiritual teacher of mankind.
A troop (the energies of Mars in Aries) shall overcome him because emanation is from Pisces to Aries. (Gen. 49.20) His bread (Virgo) comes out of Asher (Gen. 49.20) since Virgo the Virgin is a direct polar emanation from the Great Sea of Pisces, the Cosmic Mother of the macrocosm. He came with the heads (Aries rules the head) of the people. (Deut. 33.21)
Benjamin as Aries
He dwells between the shoulders (the head or Aries-Ram). (Deut.33.12) The Lord shall cover him (Deut.33.12) since he is about to fall into manifestation and acquire his superphysical and physical bodies. He is a wolf in the mornings (Gen. 49.27) as the risen Sun, exalted in Aries and exhibiting the powers of Mars in Aries. He is the youngest son of Rachel which means sheep or ram (of Aries).
Manasseh as Taurus
He is the crown of the head. (Gen. 49.26) Taurus rules the cerebellum in the head.
The Signs of the Twelve Tribes
Gemini to Virgo
Simeon and Levi as Gemini
They are twins or brethren. (Gen. 49.5) With Thummim and Urim. (Deut.33.8) Thou (Jacob) did strive (wrestle) with him (the Angel Monad) at the waters (of Cancer, a water sign). (Deut.33.8) This is the union of the triad of the Higher Self with the Monad.
Naphtali as Cancer
She possesses the South (Summer Solstice of Cancer). (Deut. 33.23) Naphtha is the oil or wine of the Higher Self which can fill the lamp or chalice of the Lunar Personality. She giveth goodly words (memory related to Cancer). (Gen.49.21) The promptings of the Higher Self are transmitted in symbols or dreams.
Judah as Leo the Lion
The lion or law giver. (Gen.49.10) Colt of the ass. (Gen.49.11) Issued forth into emanation from Capricorn (ass). Atma, the Lion, is led by the Virgin Intuition of Virgo.
Asher as Virgo.
A source of Gad (Pisces). (Gen. 49.20) Virgo the Virgin is a direct emanation from Pisces, as a polar reflection of Cosmic Consciousness reflected as Intuition in man. She is blessed with children (Deut. 33.4) if the Christ consciousness is born in you. She can dip her foot of oil into the desire sea of the lower mind and still the troubled waters of the Personality. She is the bread of life. The Virgin of Virgo carries the wheat sheaf.
The Signs of the Twelve Tribes
Libra to Scorpio
Zebulun as Libra
The sign of Libra represents a ship on a sea. So Zebulun is the abundance of the seas (Deut. 33.19) of the cosmic ocean of love-wisdom because Libra is ruled by Venus, the Virgin Mary. He is a haven of the ships of the sea. (Gen. 49. 13) Libra signifies the Higher Mind related to the Intuition or Buddhi of Virgo. This higher consciousness can be reached by deliberately setting out on a voyage into the deeper levels of the mind by the practice of meditation.
Dan as Scorpio
Dan is a lion's whelp. (Dent. 33.22) The Lower Self of the desire-mind of Scorpio is a direct reflection of the triad of the Higher Self dominated by the Will or Atma of Leo. He is a scorpion or a serpent in the way. (Gen. 49.17)
The Sun falls to its death in the Autumnal equinox and is reborn at the Winter Solstice. Man completes the solar cycle over many lives and achieves perfection through reincarnation. The cycle of the Sun is a living example of the Eternal Crucifixion.
He who is the Solar Deity illuminates the Earth and the mind, because the Earth with its lunar satellite is the point of balance between Mars-Scorpio and Mercury-Virgo. The Moon is the ark or ship of Zebulun-Libra. The full Moon relates to the spiritual festival of Easter.
The Signs of the Twelve Tribes
Joseph as Sagittarius
Archers have shot at him. (Gen. 49.24) The arrow is the symbol of Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter, also ruler of Pisces (the Great Ocean of the Virgin Mary). This is why "he rules the precious things of heaven". (Deut. 33.13) Zeus-Pitar or Jupiter is the Father of Olympus, Home of the Gods. This is why Sagittarius is said in astrology to rule the ninth house of religion and philosophy.
Jupiter rules "the fruits brought forth by the Sun" (Deut. 33.14) because the process of emanation is from Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, into Aries where the Sun is exalted. His "horns are like unicorns" (outrushing focal points of energy streaming into manifestation). (Deut. 33.17) So Moses is depicted with horns by Michaelangelo. The two horns are the outrushing energies of the ajna chakram or "third eye" in the forehead. The passages quoted are from Genesis 49.3-27, Numbers 2.3-29 and Deuteronomy 33.6-24.
An understanding of the meanings given to the twelve tribes and their relation to the city with twelve gates and the tree bearing twelve manner of fruits in Revelation demonstrates the zodiacal origin of religion.
The teachings originally had a cosmic source. The purity of the symbols has gradually become distorted and therefore we must seek to return through knowledge of the language of symbols to the original foundations of religion.
The Astrological Cycle In Matthew, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces
The cycle of emanation commences in Capricorn with Joseph in Egypt (1.19,2.19) and the city on a hill (of Capricorn). (5.14) An angel (deva) appears (1.18) as the light (Aquarius) of the world. (5.14) Mary (the virgin Sea of Pisces) is told that she will give birth. (1.18)
Aries, Taurus and Gemini
The Star (Monad) in the East appears. (2.2, 2.9) There are three wise men (the three Logoi of the Monad). (2.2) They are in Rama (the Ram of Aries). (2.18) An axe is laid to the tree (the Aries-Libra axis). (3.10) The descent of the Monad begins under the Demiurge or Herod. (2.4) There was a voice (the Verbum in Taurus). (2.18) Simon and Andrew, the two brothers, are the Gemini twins. (4.18)
Cancer, Leo and Virgo
James and John are in the ship or ark of Cancer. (4.21) There is a baptism in Jordan (Cancer is a water sign). (3.6, 3.13) The right hand is cut off depicting the fall of the Monad into manifestation. (5.30) There is a baptism of fire (Leo being a fire sign). (3.11) The wheat is gathered (the grain of Virgo). (3.12)
Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn
The Holy Ghost descends (from Aries to Libra) like a dove. (The dove is a symbol of Venus, the ruler of Libra.) John is in prison (in Scorpio, the Lower Self). (4.12) He is tempted for forty days (the Lower Quaternary). (4.1) Angels ministered unto him (Sagittarius). (4.11) He went up into a mountain (Capricorn). (5.1)
The Astrological Cycle In Matthew
The Mount of Capricorn marks the beginning of manifestation in the Cosmic Quadrant. The Monad, containing the triple powers of the Trinity, emerges from Aries and descends to the Solar Triad or Higher Self through the womb of Cancer, then to the Lower Self, or Lunar Triad in Scorpio.
Joseph Capricorn Darkness Egypt as Tomb
Christ Aquarius Light Daiviprakriti
Mary Pisces Cosmic Sea Mulaprakriti
In Aries the Monad, is crucified on the Tree of the Aries-Libra axis. This tree is the etheric spine of man. The foot of the Tree of Life is Libra and Scorpio is the serpent of the Tree. The Taurus-Scorpio axis is the physical spine.
The Lunar Triad of the Scorpio quadrant is the tomb of the Spirit-Monad. The powers of Virgo as the Virgin Intuition of Man can give him the gnosis or spiritual wisdom which will enable him to ascend the Tree, which is the Kabalistic Tree of Life. Consciousness ascends the Middle Pillar of the Tree to energise the spiritual centres in the head (Aries rules the head) and so awaken the "third eye" of spiritual vision.

The Symbolic Geography of the Planes
In Biblical terms the Soul ascends from bondage in Egypt through six planes.
6.Jerusalem Spirit Holy City/brain
5.Promised Land Intuition Milk and honey/brain
4.Judea Higher Mind Abstract thought
3.Samaria Lower Mind Desires of the flesh
2.Red Sea Astral desires Pharaoh's horsemen/lower nature
1.Egypt Physical Body Imprisonment of Israel/lower nature
It was customary to weld spiritual teachings to historical events. The imprisonment of the Children of Israel in Egypt represents the crucifixion of the Soul in the physical body. Similarly in The Hymn of the Robe of Glory, an early Gnostic text, the Soul descends from heaven to Egypt to gain a pearl guarded by a dragon but forgets its true purpose for a time. We are Prodigal Sons.
The attack on the Israelites by the soldiers of Pharaoh is symbolic of the mind being attached to desires which it must kill out. The desire realm of the Astral Plane is ruled by Scorpio-Mars and the colour red, hence the Red Sea.
Samaria (fallen Soul) is the plane of the Lower Mind, and then one reaches Judea, the consciousness of the Higher Self. This is the entry to the Promised Land flowing with milk and honey. Jerusalem is the Spirit and the end of the Soul's journey through the planes, from the dense physical to the spiritual home. This is the story of the Prodigal Son in the Bible.
The Apparent Loss of Spiritual Knowledge
Just as the Soul loses its knowledge of its origin when it descends to the physical plane so the great Races of Man, such as the Lemurian and Atlantean, lose their direct knowledge of the spiritual planes because they are forced to live on planes of increasingly dense matter.
The four planes are of increasing density. We have a physical or superphysical body related to each plane. At death we transfer to our astral (emotional) and mental bodies, and discard the physical and etheric bodies. There is no death for the Soul. It is on earth to perfect itself, to link up with the Higher Self (Christ) and ultimately with the Monad (Father in Heaven).
It is imperative that young children should be taught comparative religion and mythology on an integrative basis. They are not young children. They are "old Souls" and should be treated as such. They have lived in these earlier civilizations and it should be the prime function of educators to awaken their Soul-knowledge as Socrates taught.

JACOB WRESTLES WITH AN ANGEL
The Bible is a collection of writings for initiates and is written in code to hide its true meaning from non-initiates (the true “Gentiles”).
Hilton Hotema’s writings confirm this. In Awaken the World Within he wrote, “The Hebrew language was at first a secret sacerdotal jargon of Egyptian origin. And did not become the spoken language of the Hebrews until after their exodus from Egypt.”
“The word ‘Jew’ is used throughout the Apocalypse in its kabalistic meaning, for one having esoteric knowledge, an initiate.”
The Bible’s primary theme is the rebirth of animalistic man into Godman through the cultivation of the Holy Spirit which the Bible calls Shechinah, the Holy Ghost, the Christ, the Messiah, Samson and the serpent.
And Moses made a serpent
of brass, and put it upon a pole.
Numbers 21:0
Moses raised a serpent in the wilderness and put it upon a pole.
What that’s saying is that the initiate raised his serpentine fire within the wilderness (wild animal nature) of his flesh body up the pole of his spinal column into his brain.
Almost every Bible story had to do with this fiery serpent.
There is a bioelectrical energy in the body focused in the spine at the coccyx. This force is connected with the very force that makes and runs the universe.
The aim of the initiate is to raise the force from the lower parts of the body (“hell”) to the brain centers called the pituitary and pineal glands (“heaven”). When that occurs the person is reborn and eventually becomes a messiah, a Christ, a symbolic “son of God.”
There are seven energy matrixes along the spinal route which the Samson solar force of the serpentine fire must burst through. These are called “wheels” in the Bible and in India (i.e., chakras). The Bible also calls them lilies.
Jesus said, “Have you considered the lilies of the field? Solomon, in all his glory was not arrayed as beautifully as these.”
Wow! Certainly the Master was not talking about a simple flower.
The lily (lotus) symbolizes a chakra. Seen clairvoyantly, they are beautifully colored shining, spinning with mixtures of lovely hues and emitting angelic sounds and even incense odors.
In Ezekiel, the chakras are called wheels. Because in the oldest wisdom system only four chakras were used (instead of the seven now utilized) Ezekiel wrote of the four living creatures. They correspond to Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo and Taurus.
Each of the seven chakras functions along with seven corresponding ductless glands symbolized as “seven churches (i.e., circles) in Asia” (the body).
In order to raise up the holy spirit (kundalini) to the brain, the initiate has to wage war on his lower self, his animal spirit, and subdue it.
Jacob wrestled with a man (Gen. 32: 24-30) and won. The place at which they wrestled was Pineal. The man (or angel) grabbed Jacob’s genitals, forcing him to walk with a limp.
Jacob refused to release the “man” till he blessed him, and asked the “man” his name.
Instead of revealing his own name to Jacob, he gave Jacob a new name, Israel.
And Jacob called the name
of the place Peniel, for I have
seen God face to face and
my life is preserved.
Genesis 32:30
The highest chakra (crown) affects the pineal gland. When the spirit (Ruach) force reaches the pineal, the crown (“heaven”) opens and one can truly see clairvoyantly. Until then, as most people sadly are right now, he is blind, deaf and dumb. Kundalini can also preserve life.
Jacob (the initiate) wrestled with his lower sex-drive animal nature. But a key point is embedded in the story. To reach enlightenment (the opening of the 3rd eye) you have to use the power of the sex drive and the pleasure principle to shoot the Holy Spirit from out of the coccyx “cave” up to the pineal gland. So Jacob says, “I won’t let you go until you bless my soul.”
The Semitic word for blessed is “baraka” which is also a code word for kundalini energy.
In ancient Egypt wisdom the goddess Isis tries to get Ra to reveal his name to her. Isis used trickery and a serpent to influence Ra. When Ra finally revealed himself he did so in these words Nuk Pa Nuk. That means “I am that I am.” Sound familiar? All the stories are variations on the same theme.
Jacob like Isis, tried to get the angel to reveal its name.
The name of a high being is actually its mantra, its sacred sound.
The most sacred of sounds is Aum which in Semitic tradition, became Amen. That sound stimulates the Pineal gland.
But each initiate gets a secret sound that only really works for her. That secret sound that personal vibratory sound, is what both Isis and Jacob sought.
Isis used trickery and in many places in the Bible Jacob is a trickster. Here’s what that means. You have to tease, lure, coax and trick the serpentine fire into “flame on” mode. Often this is done through tantric lifeforce intensification rituals.
The angel, finally is subdued at daybreak. The flash of light insight, kundalini rising and clairvoyance (or at least seeing of visions) results from gaining mastery over the lower appetites.
The former combatant now becomes a blessing. The initiate sees God face to face. His name change to Is-Ra-El only signifies the combined faculties of Isis (trance), Ra (Holy Spirit) and El (heavenly consciousness).
The initiates agree that the lower nature must be controlled. All of the scriptural wars are symbols for the initiate’s battle against her lower animal nature. Sometimes the same battle is styled a “sacrifice” of an animal for the pleasure of God.
That’s a metaphor for killing the dominance of the animal spirit to experience a higher form of bliss the good pleasure of God.
In Christian Fitrah we don’t kill our animals. We need them to reach Jerusalem (the brow chakra). Instead, we domesticate our animals, we transmute their force so that they serve our journey to divinity.
“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds.”
Summary
According to the doctrines of Qabalah, Hinduism, and Buddhism there exists an unlimited, eternal consciousness - Yahveh. From Yahveh, time and space first unfold in a primal act of creation - the Big Bang - and limited existence, thus created, seeks to return to Yahveh.
In order to effect this return, the primal "mind-stuff" of creation progressively evolves itself into a series of increasingly complex "vessels of transformation," or "vessels of consciousness," with the intention of eventually evolving itself into something that can transform it back to Yahveh. This transformational process is that of becoming conscious, for the act of being conscious transforms "mind-stuff" into whatever it is experienced as.
Having proceeded as far as the evolution of human beings - vessels of self-consciousness - the final stage in this process is to bring about the development of human beings that can experience unlimited consciousness. This occurs via the process of kundalini-awakening, in which individual humans are psychologically and physically transformed such that they may experience Yahveh directly, in superconscious states of awareness. A person undergoing this awakening is said to die to their old, Ego self and be reborn to their Higher Self, the immortal part of their being.
When sufficient humans can experience superconsciousness, the universe itself will make a "quantum leap" back toward Yahveh, an act that may be referred to as "the ascension."
From examining the symbology of much Christian and pre-Christian ritual and mythology, it can be divined that these processes have either been understood by ancient peoples for millenia, or that archetypal interactions symbolizing the same have forever been pursued as an integral part of the unfolding drama of our life on earth.
Many early cultures have similar myths and rituals, particularly noteworthy being those surrounding the Greek god, Adonis and the Phrygian god, Attis. The Lesser Eleusian Mysteries are an excellent example. Where rituals are performed, the death and the rebirth of the Nature god is frequently enacted via the sacrifice of a older "god" or "king" figure, either symbolically or, in some ancient cultures, actually, who is then replaced with a younger individual, symbolizing the death of the Ego to the Higher Self.
"The eager longing of the Creation itself waits expectantly for the revelation of the Sons of God" Romans 8:19 (from The Original New Testament).
You see it never was finished, you have to finish it.
The creation isn't finished until YOU do YOUR part, and perform the great work (meditation).
As Paul said in Romans 12:2 " be transformed by the renewing of your mind".

Do you see?
Daryl Coats (metalurgist) has the following to say about metals in the bible.
"Almost every time the word "brass" shows up in the Bible, perversions like the New International Version and the "New King James Version" change it to "bronze" because the King James translators supposedly "confused brass for bronze." Using the same "reasoning" as any evolutionist, Bible critics make statements such as this:"
"The process for making brass [melting copper with zinc] was unknown in Old Testament times, whereas bronze smelting [copper with tin] was widespread at an early age."
"Such a statement flies in the face of both history and language."
"One of the favorite ploys of Bible critics is to "prove" a point by appealing to the languages in which God originally caused the Bible to be written. But appeals to the Bible’s "original languages" do not "prove" that the word "brass" is a "mistake," despite claims such as these by another Bible critic:"
All of the arguments concerning the use of metals, smelting of metals of different types into another completely disappear, when one understands the metaphors and allegory concerning metals in the bible.
It is not referring to LITERAL bronze, brass, Copper, Tin and such, but the mythicists used metals to describe mans state of mind.
So they missed the mark, as all bible literalists do.
Arguing that no such metals were made at that time, or the first metal workers were the Egyptians and Romans and so forth.
It's all symbols as you will see!!
The meaning of metals in the bible
They are symbols of the condition of the mind
and the thoughts that arise from it.
Gold = Pure Charactern (god quality) consciousness, Precious and Rare Isaiah 13:12
Silver = Pure Words & Understanding, on the path. Proverbs 2:4, 3:13-14, 10:20, 25:11,
Brass, Tin, bronze, Iron, copper, zinc, Lead, Silver, dross = Impure Character, lower nature thoughts etc...(apart from god) Ezekiel Psalms 12:622:20- TUBALCAINS.
For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron; I will also make thine officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness (Isaiah 60:17)
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). Note, The word isles in the bible are always talking about the human brain as it sits in a saline solution in the skull like an island.
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 spiritual.
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 and 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 solid 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 foundation.
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, it is 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. Any time you hear or see the word stone or rock in the Bible it is referring to the pineal gland of the brain.
(moses struck a rock (pineal gland) with his staff (spine) and water ( electromagnetism) gushed forth.
"Thou art Peter, upon this rock (pineal gland) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"
THE STORY IN DANIEL
The EGO
This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
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 threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Daniel 2:37-45
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:23-27
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
40 Weeks 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"

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 understanding 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. In Moses:--
Thou shalt not covet the silver and the gold of the nations, (the lower nature) (material things, animal natured thoughts) 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);
Notice it says which YOUR own hands have made. that's why this gold and silver is false, it is sin, because it is of the lower mind. The Ego thinks it is all this and all that. It is idols, because it is not god's (the universes true nature, it is man's false EGO.
"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)
Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. "tarshish and Uphaz signify the the thought patters that arise out of the lower egoic mind"
They weigh silver (the Lunar Lower Self) in the balance (Libra). (Is. 46.6) A potsherd, (the physical body) is covered with silver dross. (Ecc. 26.23) It is reprobate silver. (Jer. 6.30) Everyone made an offering of silver. (Exod. 35.24)
Hiram, the widow's son (the power of the Higher Mind or Libra-Venus) is a worker in brass. (I Kings 7.14) Jeremiah speaks of "the pillars of brass and the cauldron."
(Jer. 52.18) Ezekiel advises us to "take thee balances and weigh. This is the reasoning or balancing power of the judicial Higher Mind, the integrative consciousness. (Ezek. 5.1) We must meditate to raise consciousness to this level where we can obtain intuitive guidance from the Higher Self.
The pillars of brass cast by Hiram (I Kings 7.15) are the Taurus-Scorpio and Aries-Libra axes of Venus-Mars, related to the spinal column.
The servant of Abraham took ten camels and departed. (Gen. 24.10) (This is the descent of the Soul through the ten planes from Aries to Capricorn. ) The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham. (Gen. 24.9)
The servant (consciousness) has descended from the head (Aries-Ram) to the base of the spine (Scorpio - thigh). The servant (Mind) met Rebekah (Soul) at the well (muladhara chakram). (Gen. 24.43)
He gave her silver (the Lunar Personality) and gold (the Higher Self) to effect the alchemical marriage. (Gen.24.53) Then Rebekah married Isaac, the Monad. (Gen. 24.67) The death of the mother at age 40 (Gen. 24.67) is the killing out of the Lower Quaternary (4) of the Personality.
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
"many waters is making reference to the watery regions below the diaphragm, where the beast resides."
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.
Ye have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried into you temples My goodly desirable things (Joel 3:5).
Ho, every one that thirsteth, go ye to the waters and he that hath no silver; go ye, buy and eat (Isaiah 55:1);
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, smelted seven times (Ps. 12:6); SEVEN chakras, the furnace is in the fornix of the brain.
Every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that is a guest in her house, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garment and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters, and shall spoil the Egyptians (Exod. 3:22; 11:2, 3; 12:35, 36);
"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 human mind, apart from Christ or cosmic consciousness.
The following verse should drive home the point once and for all. read it carefully, and you will see that the use of metals in the verse are not LITERAL
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.
The house of Is Ra El is of course those who enter into meditation for a time, and then give up, and look back. These are the ones that are dross of silver, tin, lead, brass and iron to god.
Here is one more verse that should drive home the fact that the bible when it refers to iron is talking about the hardheaded stubborn brutish individual.
It's in you MIND!!! The chariots of Iron
Jdg 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out [the inhabitants of] the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
THESE ARE THE VERY STUBBORN BRUTISH TYPES OF PEOPLE, AND THE ALMIGHTY POWERFUL GOD, COULD NOT REMOVE THE IRON FROM THEIR VALLEYS. THAT'S BECAUSE NOBODY CAN, EXCEPT YOU.
The valleys are referring to the peaks and valleys of the brain and consciousness, mountains are always the higher attainment, so the opposite (valleys) denotes) impure character, stubborn hard headed etc, the lower mind.
God cannot change the hardheaded person, and remove the (iron) bruthish nature from a any person.
SEE the following verses, and again you will understand that the bible is using metals to describe mans mental state.
read them carefully, so you can grasp the idea.
Job 28:2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass [is] molten [out of] the stone.
You can't make brass out of stone. So obviously it means something else.
Iron is the hardheaded person, the earth is always the physical body, and the brass shows the strength of this particular character, it's the lower mind, and it is very strong.
The stone is the pineal gland, they will meld together once the energy flows over the lamb or pineal.
Job 40:18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
Bones are referring the strength of a persons character, here the bones represent the physical, and you can see the verse is not talking about LITERAL brass and iron.
Job 41:27 He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.
Psa 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Psa 105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Psa 107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;
Here one is in meditation, and the mind is inflicted with iron, how plain can it be?
Psa 107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Here, one has overcome his lower brutish stubborn nature, through meditation, and has broken this brass and iron within them.
Psa 149:8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Pro 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Ecc 10:10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
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. It's the same.
That should do it, you should KNOW by now, not believe that the bible is referring to mans state of mind, when it uses any metals in the body of the work
Metals were among the many good things which god created. He declares, "the silver is mine, and the gold is mine" because of man's corrupt nature. And god wants it.
The vessels of gold and of silver denote the knowledges of good and truth, the higher consciousness, the renewed mind etc....
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.
Are you, iron or brass or wood or tin or copper?
Or are you silver and gold?
Jdg 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out [the inhabitants of] the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
"It is the property of the mystic to proceed by way of images to the summit of a pure idea and the intellectual vision of the substance." That the myths were thus the vehicles for conveying the realization of abstract truths which could not be presented so forcefully in words alone seems indisputably clear.
What is equally clear now is that, in the hands of ignorance, an exoteric rendering has taken the place of the esoteric, depriving the mind of its grasp on the essential truth intended in the adumbration.
"Every act was symbolical in character and represented some ancient belief or tradition.
The paste, the mixture of wheat and water, the egg, the naked goddess Shenti, i.e., Isis in her chamber, the placing of the paste on her bed, the kneading of the paste into moulds, etc., represented the great processes of Nature which are set in motion when human beings are begotten and conceived, as well as the inscrutable powers which preside over growth and development.
The broad modern assumption has been that the mythos was in toto a lot of mummery and that the rituals were a lot of hollow ceremonialism based on superstition.
That they shadowed the greatest of spiritual truths has not yet entered the mind of any man highly received in the ranks of orthodox scholarship.
No one has yet been able to tell these savants that they have been handling pearls, and not rubbish.
The wrecking of the mythos by ignorant literalism stirred Massey to bitter resentment against the perpetrators of the crime. His own words will speak best for him, while they support our own contentions:
"Misinterpreted mythology has so profoundly infected religion, poetry, art and criticism that it has created a cult of the unreal."
They did not know that their Gospels were old Egyptian myths ignorantly literalized.
Nothing but the thinnest shadow of the truth that the book portrays has yet fallen across the threshold of modern understanding.
No suspicion of the grand completeness of its message has yet dawned upon us.
Nineteen hundred years of theological digging has not unearthed the treasure buried under its allegorical profundities.
And this failure has been due to our stubborn refusal to reject the Bible as history, and to accept it as cryptic typology.
From beginning to end the Bible is nothing but a series of spiritual allegories traduced to history or interwoven with some history.
They could not suspect that their indirect poetical method would so outrageously befuddle modern "intelligence."
The moment the myths are alleged to have taken place in heaven or anywhere else, that moment superstition begins to stalk into the counsels of religion.
The ancients had more to conceal than we yet seem capable of grasping.
