I have the pleasure of sharing with you, the reader, the real meanings of a few wonderful stories from the Bible.

I hope that you, in your self-discovery, will be spiritually moved, as I was when I first saw the meanings behind many of the stories we’ve been told from the Bible.

I am writing this book in the hope that it will find you in your right time and help you understand that this whole vast seen and unseen world belongs to you, and when you discover your true self as being the true body of love, you will inherit what truly belongs to you.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the

greatest of these is love. —1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)

I would like to

dedicate this book to you, the reader, with my sincere gratitude for seeking the experience of expanding and discovering your identity.

May the silence and darkness reveal to you the self.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

I do hope that you keep an open mind and that you give this book a fair try. I did not write this for material gain; as you will find out for yourself, material wealth is only a reward for the service you render with true loving and helping intentions. As I mentioned above, it is just a fair reward, which means that whatever I put out there—good, bad, or indifferent—is what I will harvest.

The words I think or speak will give me the reward I deserve, whether good, bad, or indifferent.

So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11 NKJV)

PREFACE

When I was a young boy, I remember always searching for something. I had a feeling the search should be within and not outside of myself. Even at that age, I could recognise an inner voice constantly talking to me, but I thought I was the only person experiencing it, so I never mentioned it to anybody. The last thing I wanted was the wrong type of attention.

I was very curious about the Bible and wanted to find out why my grandad would bend his knees and pray or talk to a God who looked like a man and who was supposed to be in the sky; I also wondered how God was answering him.

I could hear my grandad but not God.

I began to ask questions about things in the Bible that did not really make sense. The best answers I got were from my mom. She would say the Bible was meant to be psychological and metaphorical, and it was written in the form of parables. It did not make sense back then, and for a long time after that, until I discovered the true experience of the central figure of the Bible as being my wonderful human imagination.

In other words, God.

I am very pleased that I had the drive to research and to ask questions. Like many people, I asked priests for guidance and told them of my intentions to research; I got this in return: Believe and don’t research—or even better, Do not ask questions, my son.

After turning twenty-two, I began to have even more questions about who we are, and I even questioned whether my memories were really mine or whether someone planted them there. I mean, did I really experience them? And if I did, why did I feel like everything was just about here and now? Why did the past feel just like a fading dream? It was almost like the future was imaginary, an illusion. Furthermore, why did it feel like I had always been a grown-up?

Well, I bet many of you out there want the answers to these questions and to many others. We are all looking for answers and guidance; we’re in search of our real identities.

Let’s just hope I can be explicit and answer most of your questions with the help of the Bible.

I will take some of the stories from the Bible and interpret them to show you the true meanings the ancient teachers wanted us to know.

Let us begin.

The Mystical Interpretation of

How Israel Defeated Amalek

This chapter will interpret how Israel defeated Amalek in the book of Exodus.

It is said:

Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand. So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. Then the Lord said to Moses, Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, saying, A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. (Exodus 17:8–16 ESV)

Now, we need to understand a few things before we can interpret this beautiful story.

Amalek means us, humanity. Amalek is a nation, an enemy of Israel - (Is`real). Amalek is the grandson of Esau. Amalek being a descendant.

Esau is the older son of Isaac. Esau means the hairy one, which represents the human body (we have hair all over us). The Hebrew version of Esau’s name is Edom, and it means red all over, which comes from the verb adom (to produce or be red) and is closely related to the name Adam ("Adam, man: adama, ground; dam, blood") (Strong’s Concordance).

It is said:

The Lord said to Moses, Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast is mine. (Exodus 13:2 ESV)

Numbers 3:13 (ESV) states, For all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated for my own all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beast. They shall be mine: I am the LORD.

And part of the promise from Genesis says, The LORD said to her, ‘Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger’ (Genesis 25:23 NIV).

All this is allegory and is meant to be taken as a symbol and not as the history of the world.

Now Moses is a state of mind which means to pull out/draw out, son, or deliver. To pull or draw out what? Moses is the old perfect form of the Egyptian verb to be born, so it is in the state of Moses that something is to be born.

At the end of the Torah, we are told Moses, the servant of the Lord, died, and the Lord buried him, but to this day, no one knows the place of his burial (see Deuteronomy 34:6).

Why? Because Moses is buried in you.

The Hebrew translation of Joshua is Yeshua-jeshua, and in later forms of biblical Hebrew, the name is styled Yehoshua (Jashua). This name, which was also Jesus’s name, means Yoh saves. As Neville Goddard tells us in Wonder Working Power:

You have within you a wonder working power! To understand this power, let us turn to the Book of Joshua, where we are told: Wherever the sole of your foot shall tread, I have given you. The Hebrew form of the word Joshua is Yad He Vav [corr. Yod Hey Vav Shin Hey, pron. Ye-ho-SHOO-ah] and means, Jehovah saves.

So you see, Joshua is not promising another, but himself!

Ref: Neville Goddard Lecture Series Volume 12 -Gnostiic Audio Selection. First Printing March 2014.

Let’s start by breaking it down to explain the meaning of the story told to us by our ancestors. The story Israel Defeats Amalek begins in this manner: Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8 ESV).

Amalek, who represents the human (me, you, us), fought with Israel (the symbolic name of Jacob), which means he will rule as God.

To break it down to the origin from Hebrew, Yisra`el, meaning God contends, comes from the roots Sarah, meaning to fight, and El, meaning God.

Israel can be seen as a man after Gods own heart based on the following. In the Old Testament, Israel was formerly named Jacob (see Genesis 32:28).

In Psalm 73 we are told, Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. (Psalm 73:1 NSV). So it is implied to set up Israel as the pure in heart. Furthermore it is said, And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26 NSV).

Israel here represents the inner man, the spirit man. Keep in mind, the Bible was meant to be psychological and not physical; it is only written in this manner to be hidden from the eye of the uninitiated.

We are told, Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5 ESV).

The meek are those who can be taught. And the meek always seek righteousness. Only to the meek are the stories of the Bible to reveal their real meanings.

We are told that Amalek fought with Israel at Rephidim. The meaning of Rephidim is the resting place or stays. The word Rephidim comes from Raphad, which means spread (a bed), or to make a bed or to comfort.

This to me was unfolded in this manner: Our higher self Israel fought with the flesh; the senses of the world and our concept of the world outside of ourselves, the world we as individuals perceive it.

In other words, I sat down to meditate and the fight between the
