Parable of the TALENTS

Parables a very deep spiritual type koans

Keep in mind that these things are parables, parables are spiritual Koans, just like the Zen koan.

The bible is a book about the mind and the soul. it is a book outlining in parable and allegory as how to renew the mind/spirit.

"be ye therefore transformed by the renewing of your mind"

When trying to interpret one of the parables, always keep in mind that the central theme is always the higher mind vs the lower ego mind.

In the bible the words soul and mind are interchangeable, because actually the photon, or light being that you are animating that flesh pot of Egypt is what religion calls the soul, and is what science calls the mind.

The light that you are is your mind, it is the the thing that thinks, the brain is a processor, but the mind is spiritual, it is Not part of the brain, but the brain uses the information given it by the soul/mind.

So then the parable will always be a story about one raising the consciousness/soul from a lower plane to a higher one.

With these keys, it will be easier to understand and figure out what Jesus was trying to convey. It is NOT referring to some kind of earthly talent that one may have, it is always a spiritual/soul story.

That's the SECRET.

"What was a talent, anyway?"

An ancient talent is best defined as a measure of money. My trustworthy Bible dictionary gives this expanded definition, "The talent was the largest unit of silver, shaped in slabs, pellets, or rings, with approximately the value of one ox." (Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1995).

In a lower sense

Silver is a symbol of the moon, the moon represents the lower emotions or animal nature, so we can see the deeper spiritual meaning of the word.

In a higher sense

Money is also symbol of god, every symbol in the bible has a dual meaning, there is lower money and then there is higher money. Silver is just shy of full god consciousness, which also symbolized by gold. Silver is the Pineal gland of the brain, the sixth chakra.

Numerology plays an extremely important part in the bible, and one must understand the spiritual meaning of numbers in order to help with the proper spiritual interpretation.

The number three is always a symbol of new life or a new mind, as Jesus will raise up his new church in three days, or the sun entombed in the winter solstice for three days, resurrecting on the third day, Jonah in the fish for three days etc..........

Three also represents the three parts of the human nature, the physical, the emotional and intellectual nature.

The mind is the soil and the seeds are spiritual ideas and principles

    We are to be receptive to the truth by perceiving with spiritual senses, which is beyond the five physical senses.

Lets now have a look at it, with the proper perspective.

The Parable of the Talents

A master gives out talents.

The master is the higher self within each person.

Again, it will be like a man going on a journey ( the souls journey ), who called his servants ( servants are a symbol of the higher mind quality that uplifts the soul/mind to a higher plane ) and entrusted his property to them ( the property is the indwelling light/soul that you are in the body ).

To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability.  Then he went on his journey.

Five is a symbol of the five senses, the master, the higher mind, gave money ( gods word ) or a higher spiritual thought to the five senses.

To another, the intellect he gave 2 talents, 2 is a symbol of the duality of mind, under the power of the lower intellect.

One is the physical body, which is a symbol of the earth, or the lower mind.

*******

The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more.  So also, the one with the two talents gained two more.  But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

The word "man" in the bible mythology always means the rational mind. So we have here a mind "man" that received five talents, or an higher divine impulse into the five senses, because the mind was able to rise above the five senses, this mind was given five more.

The secret is to add five + five, which is TEN, in numerology we drop the zeros, and we have one, one is god or the higher mind made manifest within.

The next mind was given a higher inward impulse in meditation and  made two more.

2+2 equals four, four is the fourfold nature, when all four parts of the nature are in harmony and come under the authority of the higher divine intellect, the spiritual nature, which is the white horse of the revelations story is in control of the physical, the intellectual and emotional nature. When this achieved then one may be of service to others.

The last man "mind" took the divine impulse and hid it in the ground, meaning that one took it and buried it within their own lower nature, the mind that runs amok off of the lower emotions cannot hold it, the lower nature will always overwhelm any higher thoughts or impulses from above.

After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.  The man who had received the five talents brought the other five.  “Master,” he said, “you entrusted me with five talents.  See, I have gained five more.”

His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant!  You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.  Come and share your master’s happiness!”

The higher mind will be put in charge of the overall mental faculties, ideas, thoughts etc...the master ( your higher divine nature) is very happy about your being able to hold it.

The man with the two talents also came.  “Master,” he said, “you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.”

His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant!  You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.  Come and share your master’s happiness!”

Same as above

Then the man who had received the one talent came.  “Master,” he said, “I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.  So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground.  See, here is what belongs to you.”

 The lower mind mocks the higher divine principle, the ego wants to stay in control, this is the problem with most of us.

His master replied, “You wicked, lazy servant!  So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?  Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

The master ( the higher mind) says to the lower self, that you should have deposited my higher impulse with the bankers, the bankers are all of the thoughts that proceed from the lower thinking. This lower thinking will earn interest on the money ( word ) deposited, because the lower mind is the bottomless pit, it can only churn out more negative stuff, negative thought,  emotional outbursts, desires for things of the material world, as opposed to the spiritual world. Given back with interest, this is the higher mind admonishing the soul, as to say if you want to hide my talent, my inner Divine impulse, then do it well, give it back with interest.

“Take the talent ( higher divine impulse ) from him ( the lower mind ) and give it to the one who has the ten talents ( let the mind that hears the still small voice within, take my word "talent", for this mind will make good use of it ).

For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. ( The mind that follows the inner principle, much more will be given, more wisdom, more understanding etc...)

Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.  ( the mind that refuses to follow the pathway upwards, even that which it already has will be taken away, that is to say that the soul/mind will fall back, and further hamper it's upward climb to godhood. The mind that stays mired in the sense and desire nature of the physical world, makes no progress to learn and understand the ways of the higher, the ways of god or the cosmos.

And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Servant is a symbol of the mind that takes orders from either the higher or lower nature, in this case the servant "mind" has decided to follow the ways of the lower, or the emotions. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

- Matthew 25:14-30 (NIV)

***

Matthew 13:49-50 says, "This is how it will be at the end of the age (means the end of Pisces, an astrological age). The angels (light/electromagnetism from above), will come and separate the wicked (the lower ego left brain, from the higher spiritual right brain) from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace (a symbol of the death of the lower self), where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

karmic debt to be paid, ( gnashing of teeth is a symbol of negative past deeds, which bring suffering for a time, but afterwards fall away and disappear). Teeth are a symbol of power of the things, spoken by the mouth, teeth grind as a result of the things said from emotional outbursts, Gnashing of teeth also happens when they are in fits of rage, and are reaping their negative karma in the future.

That is HELL.

"And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing". 2 cor.4:3

- Matthew 25:14-30 (NIV)

Nothing in the bible is true LITERALLY, everything is a symbol.

Money is a symbol of the lower equivalent for a higher acquisition. such as desires for objects or sense and affection, given up, or exchanged for high virtues and spiritual power.

Those who seek to fill their minds with desires and thoughts of material objects of sense (riches) will be the prey of carking cares, which destroy the higher mental qualities. for the love of lower things (money) is productive of all kinds of evils, entailing much sorrow and suffering.

"We are god's money: we have wandered away as coin from the treasury. The impression that was stamped upon us has been rubbed out by our wandering.

He has come to refashion, for he it was that fashioned us at first, and he himself is asking for his money, as Caesar for his.

Caesar represents the lower desire mind or Ego mind.

Therefore he says, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto god the things that are god's. To Caesar his money (things of the lower nature), to god yourselves. John 2;27

To render unto Caesars what is his, means that you have to feed that flesh pot of Egypt, but do not believe that is the flesh that is your bank account, because it is not.

"And Moses gave money (his lower animal nature) of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and his sons (the higher mind), according to the word of the lord, as the lord commanded Moses. Num 3

"But they that desire to be rich (live off of the lower mind) fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money (the lower ego mind) is the root of all kinds of evil; which some reaching after having been led away from the faith , and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Tim 9,10  Sorrows are always the result of lower emotional egoic thinking and words said, while in this state of high emotions ( sin ).

Religion has no idea about the spiritual language of the Bible and use the Bible verses to bilk millions of dollars from the unsuspecting, brainwashed public.

How sad!

  The parables are stories about the mental psychological and spiritual life of every person.  The hidden, metaphysical understanding is this most powerful and true teaching. If you apply this esoteric knowledge to your life, by seeking within as the bible instructs, then you will reap the spiritual rewards associated with it.

Like all of the parables....

The Sermon teaches of the Mystic’s battle between the world of desires and the higher world, or the Kingdom of Heaven. Many comparisons are given for the extreme differences between the two worlds and guidelines are given for differentiating between the two.

The “how to” teachings are condensed in what is normally considered the “Lord’s Prayer,” however; the “how to” is nearly opposite to what is normally considered to be taught in the modern societies. The Sermon can be found to be one of the world’s clearest expositions on the higher state of consciousness and certainly one of the most beautiful if not poetic. It can be seen to contain absolutely no church or religious dogma, but is extremely an inner transaction. The battle for soul "the prodigal son"

The kingdom of god is WITHIN you, and all the stories in the bible are inner stories referring to the mind and it's activity.

2 Timothy 3:1-13

King James Version (KJV)

3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

The last days is the last days of operating from the ego centered nature, perilous times are coming for the indwelling divine ego and all of it's folly.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, un-thankful, unholy,

Men means mind, the mind that is under the control of the lower emotions, is covetous, it's proud, it boasts, it is disobedient to it it's parents, the the indwelling spirit and the higher mind or right brain cognition.

3 Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

The ego has no affection, it despises all that is good, therefore buries the inner treasure, or impulse from above.

4 Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

The ego and desire nature clings to outer pleasures more than lovers of god { wisdom and truth } they, the thoughts from the lower mind creep into the conscious minds { houses } they lead captive silly women laden with sins and divers lusts. 

Women are symbols of the emotions, sins are the mind operating totally from the lower emotional state, divers is a symbol of all the junk you pull up from the lower parts, the first three chakras of the body, you have to dive deep, dig up this junk, divers is the opposite of mountain climbers, mountains are symbols of one who has attained the higher state of mind.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Jannes and Jambres the physical and emotional nature in us all, they withstood moses { the higher intellect } this mind is reprobate.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

The folly of the ego nature and the lower mind thinking and actions will, this mind shall not proceed any further, it will be manifest brought to light within ones self. Once seen and understood, it { the mind } has to transform itself to attune to the higher.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

The mind has known the way to the higher life, the afflictions at Antioch, Iconium at Lystra, this is making reference to the beast mind, the physical, the intellectual and emotional nature, these parts have persecuted the minds of those that operate in this field of ego. The lord, the higher right brain, delivers all who seek the truth in meditation.

12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

The lower mind is always trying to pull one back down to a lower state.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

 Evil men { the negative thoughts that proceed from emotional thinking } shall grow { wax } and continue to deceive you, you very own inner self. Until you come back to god { the right hemisphere of your brain } in meditation.

The seducer is the ego or lower mind

DON'T be a MINISTER of the LETTER Literal, because the letter killeth the understanding.

The media, your friends, your family are all just different programs running in the matrix, they are all lies.

These outer influences are Maya, they are Illusion, when the mind becomes infected from all the stuff in the outer world, then the mind is poisoned, it cannot function properly, one has to stop diving and begin to climb the mountain, this only happens when one is in meditation.

All other times the mind is seduced by the media and all outer stimuli, the only truth available come s from within ones own self via meditation.

More misunderstood bible sayings.

Math 5:44

But I say to you,  love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite-fully use you, and persecute you.

Luke

"if someone strikes you on one cheek, turn the other also. If someone takes your cloak, then offer them also your coat or tunic, give to everyone that asks you, and if anyone takes anything that belongs to you, do not ask for it back, do to others as you would have them do unto you.

These verses are very difficult to comprehend.

First lets look at some past cases histories from news clips where reading the bible literally destroyed peoples lives.

Some years ago in Texas, a man cut out his sons heart, smashed his daughters against the cement and killed them, then he gouged out his right eye and cut off his right hand with an axe.

In court he read the bible verse to the jury.

A second case also in Texas a man plucked out his eye, citing the bible verse that said to do it.

Holy Rollers handle poisonous snakes because the bible says thou shalt pick up serpents and they shalt not hurt you.

In the Philippines a few years ago a man cut off his penis, because of reading the bible Literally.

In India a some  years ago an Indian christian jumped into the lions den  at the zoo, and nearly dies, when authorities asked why he did it, he quoted from the book of Daniel and the story about the lions den.

So as you can see just from these few here that reading the bible literally has caused great confusion, and has caused people to kill others and Mame their own selves.

They never read the verse that said, In a parable spake he NOT unto them" in other words, everything Jesus said is a PARABLE, not LITERAL.

The bible says it, it says they are parables, and NEVER literal.

You can find cases world wide where people have attempted to do bodily harm to themselves, because they felt like sinners in the eyes of god, of course most of these people are already mentally unstable, then along comes the bible, and teeters them off the edge, because they thought Jesus actually commanded people to cut their body parts and remove their eyes, when I was in Egypt, an Egyptian man I met said you can see many people in that country who are Christians, and you will see many with only one eye, because of Jesus statements in the bible.

Removing body parts just ads insult to injury, there's no god any where that gets turned on when people injure themselves this way,  the verse are really saying just turn away, quit thinking about about it, cut it off, like we sometimes say "cut it out" Cut off the sensory current to the thing that's bothering you.

The poor Filipino man cannot go to heaven now, because the bible says, that no one who is wounded in the stones may enter into the congregation of heaven, the stones referring to the groin area. So this guy killed his chance of going to heaven, of course it's not literal, yet they don't know.

In the movie the "circle of iron", Eli wallach is sitting in a barrel of hot oil, and this guy comes walking up and says "why are sitting in that hot oil bath' he said I'm trying to dissolve my body away, because my lower parts have caused me much trouble in my life, and the passerby laughs at him.

So you see this kind of thing is wrong and spiritual books are totally misunderstood, and people follow without question.

If these things are parables, and they are, if these things are not LITERAL, then how can we qualify Jesus statements in Matthew and Luke?

Many people who are devout Christians and or Muslims follow their books to the letter, this has caused all of the wars we know of, even to this very day.

I've have also witnessed a person hurting himself because he felt so bad about something he did, this king of thing is totally against the teachings of the very books they read and believe they are following. The problem is the lower emotional mind, the physical and the intellectual nature, meshach, shedrach and abednego, the red horse, the pale horse and the black horse.

Now lets take a look at Jesus statements again. remember they are parables and deeply symbolic. The mythcists that wrote these things were extremely clever and never commanded anyone to love another person, or forgive another person, the bible is strictly an INNER transformation book, "be ye therefore transformed, by the renewing of your minds"

It's INNER stuff, never outer, this is hard to grasp while thinking of the verses below, but we must keep in mind the Parable, and the statement "your enemies are those of your own house"

Lao Tsu, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mushashi, Sun Tsu, and many others, said: the greatest enemy you will ever fight, is the enemy within you.

All of these great men and you will find many more, who have made these exact same statements. because it's true.

Now lets look at these verse in light of everything above.

Math 5:44

But I say to you,  love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite-fully use you, and persecute you.

"Love your enemies" our enemies are those things of the lower stubborn brutish animal nature, our out of control lower emotions, and even our intellect, these three have caused all the trouble in ourselves and everybody else.

"Bless them that curse you"  This is the higher mind calling out to the lower parts, not do do harm to the physical self, not to punish ones self for making a mistake, you can't find those emotions, how can you kill them, the lower mind hates the higher, that's just the way it is, it's the duality of mind,"between two bronze mountains" etc...

Pray means meditate in the bible, of course few have ever grasped this great truth.

When you meditate, and still the mind, then god takes over "they stood still, while god slew their enemies" "Be still and god will kill your enemies" etc...

That's the meditation part, that ends this lower agony.

The lower mind persecutes the soul, the indwelling Christ, because it hates it, it is after all the king, and will not give up control without an Armageddon. This lower mind used the soul to it's means, knowing that it's wrong, that's why it's spiteful.

The word persecute is a symbol of the lower emotional nature and the sufferings which the ego undergoes in the passage of the lower life.

To sum it up, you are to forgive the lower parts, because they know not what they do, they in the heat of passion and emotions do not know that they are causing great harm, and then when the mind and emotions register what has been done it's too late. To forgive seven times seven is to forgive the self of all the junk heaped upon the self, by the lower self.

Just as a mark is set upon Cain "the lower mind" to protect him, because you can't live without a body, you can't live without the intellect, and the emotions, but we must become victor over these things of the lower life. That's the whole bible story in a nut shell.

Notice it says to love your enemies, that's the big tip off,

"your enemies are within you, within us all, it's the beast."

We may hate what we've done, but harming the body, or sulking over what it was, and seeking punishment because we think we deserve it, does not serve the higher, only by understanding, then forgiving those nations and tongues within, can we truly make progress.

Luke

"if someone strikes you on one cheek, turn the other also. If someone takes your cloak, then offer them also your coat or tunic, give to everyone that asks you, and if anyone takes anything that belongs to you, do not ask for it back, do to others as you would have them do unto you.

Taken literally, it means that e should take a beating if someone actually hits us, or if someone accosts us in a parking lot and asks or demands your car keys, we should also offer them our money and credit cards, even thought they didn't ask for these things.

Again, we are reading INNER statements

"And whoever understands the INNER sayings of mine, will not taste death" Jesus, gospel of Thomas

INNER sayings!

Cheeks and face are a symbol of the mental aspect of being. knowledge acquired through the senses, expression of truth within.

If someone, your lower self, the physical or the lower emotional nature causes harm to the intellect, because of dwelling on the harm caused by these two in the form of bodily harm to yourself or others, or emotional outbursts, we are to turn away, as these things are not to come against the higher intellect, they must not have sway over the mind, or else everything collapses, we must keep the mental faculty above these two lower kings, they are truly the biggest make up of the beast within.

Coats and cloaks are symbols of mental or ego coverings of truth, yet in error, principles of action in opinions, prejudices, disguises, masks worn, the ego coverings of the soul. if anyone (the emotional nature) or the intellect is trying to shed this ego, you are to assist them, by giving them you tunic as well.

If any person functioning of mind should prove to thee the truth of something and so take away thy error (coat), let the reasoning also take away the outer profession of error (thy cloak). And if intelligence compels to a course of action, then fully carry it out.

This is but a figurative way to say that the spiritual man must be content with no half measures in the service of truth. if fidelity of the higher ideal costs you the loss of your outer garment of self protection (ego), do not grudge the sacrifice of the ego, let the inner go with it, the coat will follow the cloak, if need be.

If your labor for the higher consciousness compels you to go one mile, because of human ignorance and wrong, go two, if two be required to gain your end. Life is such that no impersonal good is ever gained except, at the sacrifice of the personality, the ego. J Campbell.

There is so much suffering in the world and so much of it is because of misunderstanding of one's spiritual books, they should all be banned, because few if any know the greater teachings, the higher meaning of these sayings.

ALL of Jesus' statements are INNER statements or parables about the INNER life of a person, and not once does Jesus tell us to do anything in an OUTER sense, these parables are deeply symbolic of our own inner natures. That's a great secret and burden lifted, there's a freedom in understanding these things.

If someone wrongs you or harms you in anyway, or says things that harm you, it's totally up to you if you want to forgive that person or not, but the secret is Jesus never said it, because they are deep parables, and no one can command you to to do things such as forgive the person that raped and killed your daughter for instance, if you want to, that's up to you/us.

It's not any command of Jesus, his statements are ALL INNER.

"God is not subject to the carnal nature, neither CAN HE BE"

Only WE are subject to our carnal (lower ego) natures" God is only subject to the higher nature, yet if we go into meditation and still the mind, he will kill out all the lower mind stuff, the canaanites, etc...But that's up to us.

Our only so called punishment for not doing it in this life is another cycle of life, taking another body, until we get it.

"And when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it seeks a new house freshly swept and garnished and enters therein with seven more spirits worse than the first"

We start all over gain at the root chakra or first seal in the book of revelations.

Jesus said "honor you mother and father, if you mother and father was Bonnie and Clyde, would you honor them?

You see the problem with reading Literally?

If we understand the symbols, then we get the real meaning.

Mother is a symbol of feminine or receptive aspect of the manifesting spirit, which brings forth from latency within the forms and qualities, and activities in our nature. This mother principle, buddhi, directs human evolution and it is eventually through her functioning and raising the soul by intuition, that the buddhic state of consciousness is attained.

The material relationship stands as the symbol of divine watchfulness and guidance which directs the lower evolution.

Father is a symbol of the mind in action the condition of the soul which begets a superior or higher quality, both the mother (feminine principle) right brain, and the father (masculine principle) left brain, must through sex (intercourse from the higher consciousness, the buddhic or god principle) gives birth to the one true "father" the higher undivided mind.

But wait Jesus said "unless you hate your mother and father, your brothers and sister, even your own life, you cannot follow me"

How's that, Jesus just said that we must honor our mothers and fathers, then he turns around and says we must hate them, how can we understand such contradiction?

"In a parable spoke he not unto them"

OK it's a parable, just like the other one, but what does it mean.

 "unless you hate your mother and father, your brothers and sister, even your own life, you cannot follow me"

Brother, is a symbol of the individuality, the ego in personification.

Sister, is a symbol of emotions devoid of truth.

Your own life at present is the ego, which controls the sister in the lower emotional world.

It's just saying that these two together represent the lower mind in general.

But why hate your mother and father.

Both the mother and father, the right brain thinking and left brain thinking is the duality of mind that is the cause of all the problems within each person, until both the mother and father become the one higher "father" the father that is in heaven, then we are to symbolically hate these aspects of our divvied nature/minds.

"I come from from the UNDIVIDED" Jesus.

It's just another INNER statement telling us to overcome the duality that exists within each of us, as we cannot serve god (the higher consciousness) and serve mammon (our lower aspects) at the same time, because it will bring ruin to our temple. Both the right and left brain thinking.

"And call NO one father, except thy father which is in heaven" and that's within each of us, the undivided higher state.

All of Jesus statements are qualified when we understand the deeper metaphysical meaning, then all of the contradictions, that the Atheists continually make us aware of,  are gone, the veil is removed.

Whenever I see Christians arguing over and wrestling over Jesus statements, I laugh to myself, because they don't understand the true meaning of these things, and it does no good to try and explain it to them, because they look at you like your crazy, I gave up long ago.

You can't put old wine 'ancient truths" into new wine skins "young souls" because they are not yet ready to hear the higher meaning, and this is 99 % of the Christian world.

heaven hell, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, concubines, whores, prostitutes, donkeys, pigs, cattle, kings, servants, prophets, witnesses, Armageddons, abominations, deserts, promised lands, arks, tabernacles, temples, stonings, cruelty of all kinds, these things are all symbols of things that go on in the field of normal waking consciousness, told by the ancient wisdom teachers of Alexandria Egypt.

"the ancient paths" speak of going into one's self, and conquering the false self, the lower ego/the devil/Satan etc....

Summary of the bible
 

The bible can be summed up very easy without getting into all the details of individual stories, like General Sisera's maid servant driving a tent stake through his right temple, and all kinds of other crazy stories, the entire old testament, excluding parts of genesis, are stories about god (the higher consciousness) killing out all of the aspects of the lower self.

The we can sum up the entire new testament without all of the details, by understanding that the resurrection is actually talking about each one of us resurrecting our dead animal personalities on the cross of matter within our own selves, and opening the right hemispheres of our brains, and integrating both minds into one undivided mind.

Then the revelations story is telling us how this resurrection happens, by opening our seven seals, seven chakras or CHURCHES in mediation, then the prodigal son story in the very back of most bibles comes back home, to the fathers house, and sits at the right hand hand of power, the right side of the brain, which is the third ventricle of the brain, also referred to as the third heaven in Matthew.

The seven churches or chakras are apostate while remaining in their dormant state of latency. Jesus, the energy of the solar plexus will revive them when one raises the energy through to the head, then Jesus has established his new church that he raised up in THREE days, made WITHOUT tools.

The "son of man" is then the renewed mind that comes forth out of this Yogic process of meditation. It's the Christ/Buddha/Krishna consciousness, the new Jerusalem, heaven, samadi, satori, enlightenment, nirvana, bliss, and all of the other etymologies used to describe this higher state.

Not any LITERAL Buddha, Jesus or Krishna, but US!

They are just fingers pointing the way, "don't concentrate on the finger, or else you will miss all the heavenly glory".

Religion concentrates on the finger, that's why they will miss all the heavenly glory.

The first (those that go to church and believe in an outer Jesus), will be last, and the last, (those that know the ancient path of meditation, and go WITHIN as Jesus instructed) will be first.

But first we will be beaten with many stripes, just as Jesus was beaten with forty stripes. 40 representing the physical that must be overcome.

Stripes are a symbol of the lower life/mind in it's earthly function of incarnation, the pain and sufferings (stripes) upon the soul in involution, once the awakened higher mind (servant) realizes the higher aspect of nature, and in retrospect realizes that one has been beaten by this lower mind, while mired in the lower life of sense and emotion.

Servant is a symbol of those qualities of mind in subordinate positions, which watch over and preserve the interests of activities which need to be directed at those aspects of the lower mind thinking, to pull them upwards to a higher position. They (the servants) have been beaten by many stripes. that's what the lower mind does, that's why it's the BEAST.

This beastly lower mind has kept us in poverty our entire lives, POVERTY is a symbol of lack of reality of inner divine truth and wisdom. It is the lack of spiritual things, not LITERAL money as those TV evangelists would have you believe, they alone are in poverty, concerning the things of spirit. They are still receiving many stripes.

End of bible story.

To sum up Buddhism

Shave head, get a yellow robe, a rice bowl, act humble, smile a lot and go out and get some food. Ha ha!

Go back to barracks and meditate, empty the mind and hope for satori.

And never touch women, that's evil.

Understand that any suffering that you go through is the result of past sins or misdeeds, things you did or said that hurt other human beings.

Put into action the eight fold path and the four noble truths.

Go back to barracks and meditate. Overcome the five senses.

In short

The non doing of any evil, the performance of what's skillful, the cleansing of one's own mind; this is the teaching of the awakened one.   

Sounds like a summary of the bible.

What about Krishna

Go to airports dressed funny and pretend to give out copies of the Bhagvad gita, then once they take it, ask them for a donation, if they offer none, take back the book, then go and beat drums and dance in the street. ha ha!

Realize that you are not the body, but the internal indwelling immortal soul. Overcome the five senses, and the physical, the intellectual and the emotional nature.

Meditate for krishna consciousness, and win the battle between the left and right brain duality, to come to one unified Krishna mind. Enlightenment.

That sums up all three teachings in short, all the rest is just the details, poetry, mythology and so forth.

Even shorter version of all three.

Find a spot, should be a darkened room, take a meditation posture, still the mind, try and reduce thoughts to the zen no mind state, almost impossible.

Then begin to meditate earnestly.

If you do this, you have fulfilled the teachings of the three great teachings of the earth. Jesus, Buddha and Krishna.

Unbelievable!!!!!! Yet believe it, because it's true!!!!

Buddhas teachings are straightforward and that the "way", is to have compassion for the world and everyone in it.

The bible story is strictly INNER stuff, Jesus is not commanding you to love others and so forth, it's all mystical and mythology, speaking of internal warfare, very much like the bhagavad gita.

The bible is in stark contrast to Buddhism in this regard, yet the end result is the same, because once you receive it in meditation, you will become a Buddha, a Christ or a Krishna.

The end result is the same, to receive the higher universal consciousness within your own field of consciousness.

There all just different paths to the same ultimate end, as Buddha said "to reach the farther shore".

Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment. 

My effort is to continuously emphasize that meditation is nothing but watching the mind, understanding the mind, seeing all its subtle and cunning ways. 

My speaking is really one of my devices for meditation. 

I want you to be absolutely certain that nothing is wrong with anybody; all wrongs have been fed into you.

Meditation is an effort to get rid of personality and to reach to your living sources of life, your individuality, your flame. 

You are too much identified with the false, the personality. 

Meditation is the only possibility for creating a space where blessings shower. 

Rare is the person who transforms his life into a growth, who transforms his life into a long journey of self-actualization, who becomes what he was meant to be. In the East we have called that man the Buddha.


In the West one is called the Christ
