In Part I of “Who Are We and Why Are We Here? Meet Your Personality” we examined a “secular” version of personality profiling – the Myers Briggs program. We concluded that it was flawed mainly because it omitted spiritual growth. We will now look at a sampling of “spiritually oriented” personality profiling programs. We will be saving the best program for last, by presenting it in depth in a future post. It is the one most suited to esoteric spirituality and meditation –the Enneagram.

The Lord’s Prayer: The Essence of Divine, Cosmic Expression
This article opens with insight to the Lord’s Prayer, followed by “how to” on sex-energy transmutation, concluding with kundalini “birth.” Hang in!
The Apostles (representing our inner seeking mechanism) went to Jesus (representing the process to Christ consciousness) and said: “Master, teach us how to pray.”
“Life is a prayer” [Read more…] about The Lord’s Prayer: The Essence of Divine, Cosmic Expression
The Biblical Meaning of Man’s Dominion over the Animals
People have long thought that the Bible’s creation story in Genesis is literal. Ancient Rabbis, learned scholars of the Hebrew language, have always taught us that those who fail to see beyond the literal stories miss out on the deeper spiritual meanings latent within the text. Those of us who are guilty of reading it with literal eyes only are missing a treasure-trove of knowledge put there to help man crawl from his low spiritual state.

The Esoteric Significance of Jesus’ Inner Circle
Most Christians are aware of Jesus’ inner circle. They are the three that were closest to him: Peter, James, and John. But what is hardly known is why these three?
It has nothing to do with Jesus favoring them. It has to do with the soul qualities that they represent and the role these soul qualities play in developing consciousness and birthing the Christ within. All of the disciples represent specific soul qualities, but these three—through their unique role as the inner circle of Christ—represent the main qualities which unveil the process of spiritual evolution from the natural man to the enlightened man.

Who or What is God and Christ
In this article, we are going to address an age-old question that our scriptural and spiritual studies have often failed to answer for us, not because the answers are not there, but because until now, we have not been adequately equipped to decode the scriptures so that the answers become plain to us. That question is: Who or what is God and Christ? The answers are going to amaze you, as they did me ,because once again, the answers are incredibly [Read more…] about Who or What is God and Christ
Turning the Moon into the Sun
Ancient Alchemists taught that we must turn the moon into the sun. By moon, they meant our souls, and by sun, they meant the Christ. In other words, our souls must come to express the radiant Christ nature. This is what Paul meant when he said he travailed in birth until Christ be formed in you. We are to become a Christ, or anointed one, literally!

The Importance of the Words not Written in the Bible
When I was writing one of my previous articles on the relation between the serpent and the two olive trees, my attention was drawn to the fact that there is not only a hidden meaning in the words that make up the Bible stories, but also in what is NOT mentioned there.
Let us zoom in on the nachasj (the serpent) again.
Both Man (first Adam/Eve and later Adam and Eve) [Read more…] about The Importance of the Words not Written in the Bible
What does the Garden of Eden Represent?
Many Christians have wondered where the Garden of Eden is located, but we should be asking a more important question: what does Eden represent? It certainly shouldn’t be confused as a literal garden. To do so strips it of all its esoteric (inner) meaning and knowledge.
Just as Jesus made it clear that the kingdom of God was within you (a conscious experience), and not something that we can see (Luke 17:20), [Read more…] about What does the Garden of Eden Represent?
The Generation of the Christ
Today I am going to take you on a literal and symbolic journey covering over half of the Bible. I am going to show you how this journey is included in just the first chapter of the New Testament, Jesus’ birth record. We’ll start with Matthew 1:1. It reads:
“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Matt. 1:1).
It is a register of births, which is mostly skipped over in church; at least, I cannot remember ever having heard it read during a church service. I suppose most people read it through privately, but did you ever see the significance of it? I certainly did not. At least not until I began to dig deeper.

Worshiping God in Spirit
As promised, I am going to address Caroline Myss’s discussion on the seven chakras and the seven sacraments of the church. But first I want to provide some Biblical material on spirit, or what Myss also refers to as Divine energy and consciousness. Doing so will add much more depth to Myss’s work from a Biblical perspective, perhaps even bridging some gaps between esoteric and exoteric understanding. I have decided to address the material in a two-part series. In part one we’ll discuss the Biblical term “spirit,” how it relates to God and man, and the necessity of learning to see Biblical teachings through their greater esoteric interpretation.

Does God exist? Is there consciousness outside of the body, or life after death?
The questions in the title of this post have always been asked by humanity. Spirituality and religion say yes to most of these questions, whereas science mostly denies it. For a long time matter was all that was real to science, although there are scientists who somehow manage to combine religion and science.
Science and spirituality are like mind and soul, [Read more…] about Does God exist? Is there consciousness outside of the body, or life after death?
The Exodus and Crucifixion and How it Applies to You!
In my previous article about the sacrifice of Isaac, I already mentioned that the killing of the firstborn of the Egyptians was a metaphor. I want to go deeper into that today.
The firstborn have to do with duality, which also is a meaning of the Hebrew word for cross, and of course ‘Mitsrajim.’ or Egypt. [Read more…] about The Exodus and Crucifixion and How it Applies to You!
The Inner Beauty of the Bible Stories: The Soul’s Journey Beneath the Literal Interpretation
The Bible is not a book about history, even though there is history in the Bible. Archaeological excavations are made on the basis of information found in the Bible, and ruins are discovered that confirm the expectations. The Bible makes use of this history, however, as a means to explain the process of Man’s involution/descent into the material world, his stay there, and his evolution and ascension out of it again.The same story is told over and over [Read more…] about The Inner Beauty of the Bible Stories: The Soul’s Journey Beneath the Literal Interpretation
