Decoding the Bible: The Metaphysics of Genesis

Have you read the Bible? That’s a pretty loaded question. After all, there are many different versions of the Bible for a start.

The word ‘Bible’ can be translated and interpreted as “the books”. These books are any one of a collection of the primary religious texts of Judaism and Christianity.

There is no common version of the Bible, however the collected works are largely considered to detail the ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ of life and the various events that created the heavens, the Earth, and everything in-between.

Personally, I am not a religious man. I do not believe in a judgemental God who sits royally in some far-distant golden realm. Is there anything I do believe in? Well, yes; I believe that beings of conscious awareness (you and me) are individualised aspects of a nonlocal, multidimensional event that has divided itself in order to measure and explore the concept of purpose.

I also happen to believe in the Bible.

You may be questioning my sanity at this point in time, but allow me to explain.

For me, and a growing number of others, the Bible is your own personal biography, a guide book of sorts that details various states of being via parables and stories written in terms that the simple people of the day could understand. The problem is that these books have become hideously outdated. Not only that, but the various parables depicted have been mistaken for actual events involving actual people existing in actual places in a specific time period on Earth.

The Bible is a metaphysical handbook, telling us who we are and where we come from. The Bible is not an actual account of historical fact.

Don’t believe me? Let’s turn our attention to the King James Version, Old Testament – specifically, let’s see what the Bible has to say about creation, or ‘Genesis’ as it’s called.

First you will see the actual chapter entry. Underneath each chapter entry you will find a metaphysical interpretation.

Chapter 1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Heaven is mind, earth is physical form (man). The definition of God we are using is that of a nonlocal, multidimensional ‘event’, a consciousness that exists outside of our reality, free of the restrictions of time and space

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

The physical (the human body) was without form, and void. The waters are ‘spiritual’ reality. I’m a little hesitant to use the term ‘spiritual’ as it’s not exactly scientific. By spiritual I mean invisible, the mental aspect of reality, the hidden quantum force that directs, shapes, and influences everything around us. ‘Quantum’ reality might be a better term to use

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

The light that is referred to is the ‘light’ of consciousness

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

The separation of conscious from non-conscious

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Day is conscious awareness, night is non-consciousness – the first day is the moment when we first became conscious of ourselves

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

A firmament is a “firm unwavering place” of focus – the mind. The mind is the separating firmament between outer ‘spiritual/quantum’ reality and inner ‘spiritual/quantum’ reality  

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

The actual act of separating inner ‘spiritual/quantum’ reality from the general outer ‘spiritual/quantum’ reality, the act of individualising the ‘self’

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

‘Heaven’ is the mind, the nexus point between inner spiritual/quantum reality and outer spiritual/quantum reality

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

The act of joining the mind with the physical body – the body is under the mind

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good.

The ‘Earth’ is the ‘physical’ body

The seas are the collective term for all unexpressed and unformed thoughts and ideas that contain all potentialities – the seas of thought

****************

So, here we have the creation of conscious awareness and the separation of outer quantum reality and inner quantum reality, a process that is only possible via the generation of the individualised mind. Sound crazy? Is this interpretation as crazy as the depiction of a gigantic man in a white beard passing judgement on everyone from a cloud above our heads?

Incidentally, why would a ‘God’ create everything and everyone only to say that some things he created were ‘wrong’ and other things he created were ‘right’? On top of that, why give his creation (mankind) free will only to spank us when we exercise it and send is to ‘Hell’ if we’ve been naughty boys and girls?

But I digress. My plan is that over the coming months I will delve further into the Bible, the metaphysical teachings behind the Bible, and what it is actually teaching us about ourselves, and the quantum reality within which we all exist.

The Bible has been considered ‘the word that comes forth from the mouth of God’ for thousands of years (the various teachings were verbally delivered long before anyone actually got around to writing the books).

Perhaps those old interpretations were somehow lost in translation. Perhaps it’s time that ‘God’ had a new interpreter who can put his ‘words’ into modern day vernacular.

Science, technology, medicine, and the general population of Earth have all moved with the times; evolving and expanding as each new generation replaces the old.

Isn’t it about time that the Bible was revised and updated to match the current level of understanding and sophistication of present-day mankind as well?

Let’s see if we can play a role in that, shall we?
