Bible Me This

People are often mistaken about understanding myths. Over half of us think of them as inventions, fantasies, fairy tales or lies. The real meaning of myth is quite different from this.

We could write entire books just to explain this passage about the Tower of Babel, that’s how much it contains. For now, we’ll consider just one aspect of it, starting with the reference to “of one language". Long, long ago, human beings were whole beings that were fully whole and harmonious. We were living in harmony within ourselves—no conflicts and no contradictions. Our spirits weren...

The analogies and symbolism found in the Bible should not be considered as one-time historical events. They are being constantly recreated in our souls.

The truth of reincarnation was on Jesus’ mind when he spoke of how we need to be reborn. It’s not hard to see that we will stagnate if we’re not constantly rediscovering and rebirthing aspects of our true selves as we do this work to know ourselves better. Physical rebirth is an unalterable component of this same process. It would be pure folly to assume that we could complete all of the...
