Sex, Slaves, Spoils of War, Prostitutes







HOME


Organized religion has been a bane to the human existence throughout the centuries and remains so now. It artificially creates human tensions, friction, hatred, war, blood and murder. It is as evil a human construct as has ever been created by man.


Christianity enslaves the mind, destroys the human spirit and has stood firmly and obstinately as a principal barrier to the beneficial advancement of the human race and the obtaining of knowledge, wisdom and truth .


Christianity destroys the scriptures by reading them LITERALLY instead of SYMBOLICALLY as the Bible itself instructs.



The dangers of quoting from the Bible


In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:




Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate.


I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.


1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan,

James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia

(It would be a damn shame if we couldn't own a Canadian :)


You see that's the problem with LITERALISM






So what does it all mean? It's highly esoteric and NEVER LITERAL.


Slaves and Sex in the Bible


Lets unveil something that is veiled. Always keep in mind that the Bible is NOT Literal, it is deep mythology, these things never mean what they seem on the surface. "Ah doesn't he the lord speak in parables"? yes! he does.


If you have followed any of the concepts on this blog you will know that all these verses are talking about things that go on in the mind, they are thoughts that arise out of either the lower mind, the left, or the higher mind, the right side.


The following passage shows that slaves are clearly property to be bought and sold like livestock, if taken Literally.


First we have to define the word SLAVE and what it means in mythology.


Slavery is a symbol of subjection to the lower nature with it's desires, animal Passions and sensations, to the higher mind control, control over the emotions.






SEX in biblical mythologies a symbol of the union of mind and emotions or desire, which results in the progency of ideas and feelings. The union of the higher mind with the lower ego mind.


The lower nature like Josephs brethren, hates the higher, because it does not comprehend it. It also rebels at first at the discipline which is entailed by conforming to the aspiration of the higher quality thoughts, which are from above.


Males under three years old are thoughts that arise out of the desire mind, just as females are the same, yet males children over the age of three are considered higher mind thoughts devoid of emotional content, hence males under three years of age are killed.


Females in biblical mythology are always considered thoughts that arise out of the emotional mind, for a good reason, if you are married, then you know why the writers use females as a symbol of emotions.


Often the lone use of the word "woman" refers to the mind, the mind under the authority of the lower ego, the mind operating from the right hemisphere of the brain are males over three, above the first three chakras of the body.



However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you.



The foreigner is always a though that arose out of the lower egoic thinking, the land is either the higher mind (isreal), or the lower mind (Egypt, Sodom, Babylon etc..)



To purchase a "slave" a thought that originated from the lower mind thinking is to pay a price for harboring these lower types of thoughts, you can always take a lower quality thought and transmute it into a positive thought, this is the slave.



You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)


The children of these residents foreigners are the negative thoughts that follow from the original negative lower though, remember the land is always the brain/mind in mythology, your land is your conscious state of mind.





Prostitutes are thoughts that arise out of the lower mind and infect consciousness with negative thinking.




A whole slew of prostitutes.



You may treat these lower quality thoughts as your own, these thoughts that arise in the mind that are slaves have been converted to a higher quality by your higher thinking, these are yours as a permanent inheritance, but of course you cannot treat the relatives of Is Ra El in this way, because the thoughts that arise out of the mind of Is Ra El are already high quality thoughts. All of these concepts are in the mind.


To take captive these lower thoughts is the meaning of keeping slaves,, you already know what happens when do not keep these lower quality thoughts that arise out of the emotional mind, they are bad for everybody, you and the person you unleashed this lower quality thought upon.


"Don't be a minister of the letter (literal), because the letter (literal) kills"



Never read ancient scripts LITERALLY! It KILLS!



The following passage describes how the Hebrew slaves are to be treated.

If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him.


Hebrew means thoughts that arise out of the higher mind. The sons of god.


A Hebrew slave is purchased for six years, because the sixth day of creation represents the sixth chakra or pineal gland, it is talking about overcoming the lower mind, always represented by the marker six.


He is set free in the seventh year because that's when you have opened the crown chakra in meditation, or the seventh seal. To owe nothing is to be free of such lower egoic thinking.


To be single means that that particular thought that was entertained did not breed any off spring or successive negative thoughts, to marry means to either marry up to the higher mind or the lower mind depending on the verse. But they will always go free in the seventh year, the seventh chakra opened. Thqat;s the complete overturning of the EGO, lower mind control.

Even if lower quality thoughts were married up with other lower thoughts all will be free.


When we read that Moses or joshua went into a certain land and killed some ites, thay always kept the young virgins and all the livestock, why?


Because young virgins represent thoughts that are neutral and have the potential for becoming good harmonious thoughts, the keeping of livestock represents keeping those lower thoughts that arise out of the animal nature in check. This is how you read ancient mythology.


I know these concepts are difficult to grasp for the average reader, but I tell you truthfully, that this is exactly what these bible scriptures mean.


Religion has no idea of these wonderful concepts because they read the stuff Literally and everyone on earth suffers because of it. The bible is a book describing things that go on in the human mind, in the field of consciousness.




Jezebel is just a symbol of the lower emotional mind.





It's the Literal interpretation of holy books, that has destroyed lives throughout history, and continues to do so to this very day, especially in Muslim countries where people are stoned to death for holding hands in public, because it is written in the Quran to do so, if they only knew that these things were NOT literal, think of how many peoples lives would have been spared.


Remember jesus said "your enemies are those of your own house" Your own mind, these concepts are WITHIN you, they are not out there in the outer world, thay are in your very own INNER world.



If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)



If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, The master is the higher mind thinking, they bore sons and daughters, more thoughts that proceeded from the first, they are free in the seventh year, the number seven tips you off at every turn that the scriptures are referring to your seven seals or chakras.

But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God.


This is the rebelling coming from the lower mind thinking, the mind that refuses to transmute lower thought patterns into higher quality thoughts.To present them before God, means to transmute the lower thinking to a higher state of mind.


Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)


The door is the door of self realization, these lower quality thoughts (slaves), that have been taken to a higher thought devoid of emotion becomes symbolically pierced in the ear with awl, the ear is a symbol of understanding, to get pierced means that the lower mind is pierced in the higher consciousness described as an awl.

Then these lower slave thoughts belong to the master (the higher consciousness), forever. They will no longer harm you, or anyone else, because they have now become subdued by the higher mind (the master).


publicly means your waking consciousness, your two witnesses, your mind and your emotions.


Notice how they can get a male Hebrew slave to become a permanent slave by keeping his wife and children hostage until he says he wants to become a permanent slave. What kind of family values are these?


The following passage describes the practice of sex slavery. How can anyone think it is moral to sell your own daughter as a sex slave?


It's not, because it's NOT literal, as we have seen, so lets finish up.


Sex always means the union of the higher mind with the negative emotional mind and the thoughts that arise from it. It's never talking about literal sex, the mythologists that wrote this stuff wrote in heavy symbolism, and after two thousand years we have forgotten.


When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her.


When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are.


Women are symbol of thoughts that arise of the turbulent emotional mind, men are symbols of higher quality thoughts.


If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her.



Emotional thoughts are not free at the sixth chakra, but the servant overcomes. If these thoughts do not please the mind that bought her, he may send her back to where she came from, the lower ego mind in the solar plexus, babylon etc...


You cannot sell, in other words trade these lower quality thoughts to foreigners, other aspects of your own mind, since you have broken the contract, you did not transmute these lower thoughts into higher ones.


And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)


A son is thought that has arisen from higher thinking, again is shows the marrying up of the lower emotional mind to the higher concept. The slave which was one negative thought has now become a daughter, this means the thought has come under the control of higher thinking.


If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife.


In other words, once you have captured this negative thought, and you take another wife, a new negative thought, you are not reduce the mental nourishment you have given the first negative thought, to sleep with means to have union of the lower mind with the higher.


If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)


If one does not overcome the three lower chakras, where all negative thoughts arise, these thoughts roam free in the recesses of your own mind. There is no payment, because you did not keep the thought under control.


What does the Bible say about beating slaves? It says you can beat both male and female slaves with a rod so hard that as long as they don't die right away you are cleared of any wrong doing.


When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)


The rod is always the spine in mythology, the spine is a symbol of authority from the higher consciousness, the spine is conduit of the kundalini energy, and o strike male and female slaves, negative thoughts that arise out of lower egoic thinking, is to transmute these lower thoughts to higher ones.


To die or receive punishment, means that these thoughts no longer have power over you conscious thoughts.


If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

If these negative thoughts are converted to higher thoughts (survives), then they are yours to keep as they will not harm you or others.


You would think that Jesus and the New Testament would have a different view of slavery, but slavery is still approved of in the New Testament, as the following passages show.


Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)


Earthly masters are thoughts that arise from the physical, the intellectual and emotional mind set, in other words what jesus is saying is that you have streams of thoughts that arise from your mind, these thoughts are not necessarily bad, but they do not come from the higher consciousness, they are simply thoughts that you have continuously from the three lower aspects of your being, in other words you are to utilize these thoughts in your daily waking life, but they do not serve the higher.


We all live in the realm of thought, there is nothing else.

The universe is mental. The Kybalion




Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)


Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed.


Christians here refers to those that follow the teachings of jesus.


The thoughts that arise out of higher christ thinking, these thought will not bring you shame, because you have submitted to the higher consciousness (god).


In the following parable, Jesus clearly approves of beating slaves even if they didn't know they were doing anything wrong.


The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)


The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it.


This is the mind that refuses to submit to the higher, even though you know you should do so, the punishment is your own inner turmoil for harboring negative thoughts.



But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)


In other words when one is innocent and unaware that they have a higher mind to submit to are only lightly punished, but those that know right from wrong, the lower from the higher, and yet continue to harbor negative and hurtful thoughts, much will be required of you. The more you grow in this knowledge and understanding, the more you are required to use your higher faculties.


Don't forget "don't be a minister of the LETTER (literal), for the letter (literal) KILLETH" it kills the understanding, "but the spirit (spiritual understanding) giveth life" to the scriptures.

It's NOT literal!



Every verse in the bible referring to slaves, keeping slaves, keeping young virgins, keeping the spoils of war, etc... are talking about converting the lower egoic thoughts to higher one,s only in this way is there peace upon the earth (your own mind).


The entire bible and all of it's crazy sex, slaves and the rest is talking in deep symbolism things that go on in your mind.


The book that has fooled the whole world.


Something that was sealed is now unsealed.




These verses will be interpreted in the future, so check back.



If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, he is to offer a male without defect. He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.



He is to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar. He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

Hope this helps in your walk with the Lord!




"If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.


"But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,' then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

Thank you Jesus!!!



After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses said, "I have become an alien in a foreign land"; and the other was named Eliezer, for he said, "My father's God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh."


Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the desert, where he was camped near the mountain of God. Jethro had sent word to him, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons."

Blessed be the name of Yachewie! Thank you Lord!




Meanwhile, Sisera ran to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because Heber's family was on friendly terms with King Jabin of Hazor. Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come into my tent, sir. Come in. Don't be afraid." So he went into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.


"Please give me some water," he said. "I'm thirsty." So she gave him some milk to drink and covered him again. "Stand at the door of the tent," he told her. "If anybody comes and asks you if there is anyone here, say no." But when Sisera fell asleep from exhaustion, Jael quietly crept up to him with a hammer and tent peg. Then she drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and so he died.


When Barak came looking for Sisera, Jael went out to meet him. She said, "Come, and I will show you the man you are looking for." So he followed her into the tent and found Sisera lying there dead, with the tent peg through his temple. So on that day Israel saw God subdue Jabin, the Canaanite king. And from that time on Israel became stronger and stronger against King Jabin, until they finally destroyed him. (Judges 4:17-24)

Have a blessed Tuesday, Yachewie loves you!!!




As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor.


But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you. (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)


In these troubled times I can always find solace and peace in the Word.

Blessed be the name of Yachewie, the one true God!



Daily Meditation 6/23/10

If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.

Deuteronomy 25:11-12

I find that sharing God's holy laws during the day with people I meet is a blessing to them and myself.



When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21)

I'll pray that the slave lasts a day or two.
Thank you LORD!!!



Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions.
Ezekial 23:19-20

Be sure and spread the Word at work today with fallen co-workers!
Thank you Jesus!



“But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? Hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?”

2 Kings 18:27

Be filled up with the word daily!!


Blessed be the name Yachewie!



"Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.


Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.


He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."

(Deuteronomy 13:13-19

Yachewie loves and cares for you!




“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.” Deuteronomy 21:18-21

Space the rod, spoil the child. Yachewie's wisdom is great. Always stay in the Word!

Jesus loves you, yes even you!!!




“But he himself turned back at the idols near Gilgal and said, ‘I have a secret message for you, O king.’

And he commanded, ‘Silence.’ And all his attendants went out from his presence. And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, ‘I have a message from God for you.’ And he arose from his seat. And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.


And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. Then Ehud went out into the porch and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them. When he had gone, the servants came, and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, ‘Surely he is relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber.’“ Judges 3:19-24

Sometimes messages from Lord God Yachewie, can hurt a lot!
Have a blessed day in the Word.



“You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in fornication with them.” Ezekiel 16:17


Gold and silver are good when used in Yachewie's service but not when you hump them.

naughty

Yachewie loves you in a healthy way!



“And tell the people to purify themselves, for tomorrow they will have meat to eat. Tell them, ‘The LORD has heard your whining and complaints: ‘If only we had meat to eat! Surely we were better off in Egypt!’ Now the LORD will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.


And it won’t be for just a day or two, or for five or ten or even twenty. You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it. For you have rejected the LORD, who is here among you, and you have complained to him, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’“

Numbers 11:18

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!
Jesus really does love you!!



"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children.


But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." Ezekiel 9:5-7


Daily Meditation is for YOU but feel free to share with a neighbor or city official!

Blessings to all!!




But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. Deuteronomy 22:20-21

A little harsh yes, but effective. Cuts down on evil doing!
Jesus DOES love the little children.
