The Bible is a history book and a moral and legal guide. This article explains that the Bible can also be viewed as a book about development.
WHAT IS DEVELOPMENT?
Development is a genetic alteration of the body that leads to much better health and a much longer life. It is nothing less than the full genetic expression of a human being. For details, read Introduction To Development.
This website offers two versions of a modern program designed specially to promote development. Beware of others who say they offer this. For details, read Introduction To The Development Program.
WHY DO WE SAY THE BIBLE IS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT?
1. The Bible stories. Many stories in both the Old and the New Testament are viewed as miraculous. However, they can also be viewed scientifically if one understands more advanced development.
2. Many of the laws and rules in the Bible promote development. This is one of the main reasons this website promotes Biblical values.
3. Development can explain some confusing Bible verses.
4. Development can help explain the history that is in the Bible. The people were tested. At times, they obeyed the rules and they did well. Other times, they failed to obey and events di not go well. This applies even to today!
Let us discuss this in more detail.
II. UNDERSTANDING BIBLE STORIES IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT
Most people who interpret the Bible understand certain stories in the Bible as simply miracles. For example, the Old Testament of the Bible says that Sarah, the wife of Abraham, gave birth at the age of 90. How is this even remotely possible?
It also says that Methuselah lived 900 years. How is this possible?
It also tells us that the prophets received knowledge of the future. How is this possible?
The entire first chapter of the Book of Ezekiel is also quite confusing. It is called the vision of Ezekiel. It can be understood in terms of development. For details, read The Vision Of Ezekiel.
Books about the Catholic saints also describe unusual abilities, such as the stories about Padre Pio and others.
This article suggests that if one understands development, then these and many other stories can be understood at a purely scientific level. Here is how this works.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY WITH ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT
1. The body becomes healthier. In fact, the tissues rejuvenate and the person becomes “younger” inside, although for a while the outer appearance does not look younger. All body systems become healthier and this extends life. Eventually, one looks younger as well.
Also, the energy field around the body begins to glow more brightly, especially around the head. For example, many paintings of Jesus dating back to the time he lived show him and sometimes his disciples with a halo or bright light around their heads.
2. Unusual abilities occur. With continued development, a person begins to exhibit unusual abilities. Here are three examples:
The ability to communicate telepathically. The brain becomes like a radio receiver and can receive messages from far away. Some people are born with this ability. However, it begins to occur in many people when one develops enough. You can read about this ability in the stories of the prophets in the Bible.
The ability to see fine matter beings such as angels. This is reported in the Bible a number of times.
3. The merkaba grows. The word merkaba appears in the Old Testament of the Bible 44 times. It means a vehicle of light in Hebrew.
It is a type of energy field that can grow and surround one’s physical body. It gives a person certain protection and does much more, as well. For example, at a certain point in its growth, a person is able to move the body through space without needing any visible means of transportation.
Some paintings of Jesus show him surrounded by a radiant brightness or bubble of light.
The author once watched a program on Christian television that explained that in sightings of Mother Mary in Europe she always arrived in a “bubble of light”. This is a merkaba. For many more details, read The Merkaba.
III. UNDERSTANDING BIBLICAL LAWS AND RULES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF DEVELOPMENT
1. THE FOOD LAWS
These are called the kashrut or kosher laws. This word means cleanliness. The Biblical food laws are good as far as they go. Problems are:
- The Bible does not discuss modern “junk” foods because these did not exist when the food laws were compiled.
- There is no mention of food chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, artificial flavors and colors and about 1000 more chemicals that are routinely added to our food today. This is also because these did not exist at the time the laws were written. However, they are important to discuss.
- The food is much lower in nutritional content today than even 100 years ago thanks to the so-called green revolution. This is the use of superphosphate fertilizers, hybrid crops and other industrial agricultural methods. These also did not exist at the time the food laws were written.
The result of all this is that the food today is inadequate to promote rapid development. We have had to modify the basic food laws for today's toxic and depleted food and other conditions.
We would add to the Biblical food laws the importance of certain cooked vegetables, avoiding fruit and raw vegetables, and avoiding all refined and processed “white” foods such as white flour, white rice, white sugar and refined table salt.
Blue corn tortilla chips. At this time in history, the grain foods, especially wheat have been seriously hybridized and no longer too healthful. A much older food, blue corn, is however needed each day – some with each meal – for healing and development.
Additional foods. Also, we find that today the bodies all need about 1 teaspoon daily of nutritional yeast, two tablespoons of toasted almond butter, and two tablespoons of roasted sesame tahini or ground sesame seeds. When one is not developed, the other nuts and seeds are not helpful and are difficult to digest.
For more details, read The Biblical Food Laws.
2. THE MORAL AND BASIC LEGAL LAWS
This are mainly the Ten Commandments given to Moses, the Golden Rule and the Law of Cause And Effect (As you sow, so shall you reap). Truly following these is not easy!
There are some other moral principles such as do not rape and do not start wars. We added these to the Ten Commandments article.
We don't need to update these moral laws. They are quite good. We explain them in more detail in the articles: Ten Commandments, The Golden Rule and The Law Of Cause And Effect.
3. THE SOCIAL LAWS
These are rules governing the family, marriage, inheritance, and sexuality. These are scattered throughout the five main books of the Bible.
The two of these have caused the most controversy in modern times are the prohibitions against homosexuality and abortion. We have tried to clarify these issues in the following articles: Homosexuality, Why Not Homosexual Marriage?, Abortion, Post-Abortion Syndrome, Development And Sexuality and Down Sex.
Other social/sexual rules. Circumcision is generally helpful for development. For details, read Circumcision. Practices such as incest and bestiality are harmful for development.
4. OTHER LAWS
These are scientific laws such as those about love, who is God, the souls and soul science, development, the concept of Satan, and laws about lifestyle.
IV. UNDERSTANDING SOME CONFUSING BIBLE VERSES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF DEVELOPMENT
Some Bible verses are easy to comprehend if one understands development. Here are some examples from the Old and New Testaments.
THE THEME OF “THY WILL BE DONE”
This is an important concept in the Bible and a very important aspect of development. It has to do with how one prioritizes one's life and activities.
“Not my Will, but Thine be done” - Psalm 143:10, Matthew 26:39, Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42, John 5:30, John 6:38, and John 4:34.
FORGIVING
Learning to forgive is a major requirement for development. We find that the inability to forgive everyone in your life for everything that has occurred is a critical stumbling block to development. The Bible teaches this truth:
“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, How many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Seven times? Jesus answered, I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven times.” – Matthew 18:21-22.
“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgives you.” – Colossians 3:13
“And whenever you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive your trespasses.” – Mark 11:25.
“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32.
BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD
This is an excellent description of the mental and some physical aspects of development.
When one does the pulling down exercise each day, it slowly brings in a new energy that is not of this world. You can feel this energy.
If you don’t feel it now, you will come to feel it. This energy, which can be called the energy of God and it can be called the Kingdom Of Heaven, brings with it insights, discernment, joy and an entire new way of living.
“Do not love this world or the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.” – John 2:15
“Dear friends, I warn you as temporary residents and foreigners to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors.” – 1 Peter 2:11
“Be in the world, but not of it” – John 17.19 and other related verses.
“Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may test and discover that which is good and acceptable to God – Romans 12:12.
THE THEME OF REBIRTH
Development is truly a type of rebirth. New life energy comes into the body and heals it from within.
Born of woman, one must be reborn of Spirit. - John 3, 1-16
BRINGING HEAVEN TO EARTH
What does it mean to “love the Lord”? It means to honor Him and follow His laws. I also believe it means to bring the energy of the Lord or God into your body through the top of the head and all the way down to the feet. It means to fill oneself with this energy and then spread it to everyone around you.
When one does the pulling down exercise, one literally brings Heaven to earth, moving a special energy from above the head into and through the body and down to the earth.
“Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God with all of they heart, with all of thy soul and with all of thy might. – Deuteronomy 10:12 (and repeated in the New Testament)
“Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in Heaven”. – The Lord’s Prayer
BEWARE OF MOST OF OUR LEADERS
Development is an ancient science, but one that is not well known or taught to our leaders. As a result, most political, medical, and other leaders of society today do not understand development and will mislead you.
“Let the Pharisees alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. If a blind person leads the blind, they will both fall into the same ditch.” – Matthew 15.14.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
The idea of the Kingdom of Heaven is very confusing in the Bible. Verses say the Kingdom of Heaven be inside of oneself, but they also say the Kingdom is not be of this earth. How can this be?
The answer, from the point of view of development, is that Jesus was not describing a physical place. He was describing a state of the mind that one can achieve with development.
It is “not of this earth” because it is foreign to most people and there are few who teach it on earth.
Here are some of the confusing verses:
For, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you. Seek it not outside of yourself. – Luke 17:21.
“My Kingdom is not of this world”. - Hohn 18:36.
“And I shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever.” From the standpoint of development, this does not refer to a physical house. It refers to a level of existence possible only with development and it is not commonly found on this earth.
V. UNDERSTANDING HISTORY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF DEVELOPMENT
We will explore this concept in the future.
IF THE ABOVE IS TRUE, WHY IS DEVELOPMENT NOT CLEARLY DEFINED AND DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE?
There exists a group on earth that wants the people of earth to be sick, poor and ignorant of the truths of life. They are quite secret about their plans and their goals, so most people are unaware of them.
They have tremendous power on earth. They do not want development taught widely on this planet because it makes people much more difficult to control.
However, they are mentioned in the Bible, where they are called Satan. On this website, they are called the Rogues.
While it may sound heretical, I believe that this group altered the Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments. They deliberately deleted much of the knowledge about development.
ARE THERE OTHER DEVELOPMENT TRADITIONS ON EARTH?
Yes. For example, Oriental spiritual books contain the same type of stories. Many examples are in the wonderful little books by Lobsang Rampa such as Living With The Master. Others include the Bhagavad Gita, books by Sai Baba, and Autobiography Of A Yogi by Yogananda.
Another development tradition is found among the Australian aborigines. A wonderful little book that discusses their development tradition is The Mutant Message From Down Under by Marlo Morgan.
This is a separate article (The Book Of Life, The Original Hebrew Bible). We include it here because it relates to the material above. It is about how the Bible began and its early form. It is difficult to confirm all the information, although there were souls living today who were present when the original Bible was written.
I am told that the original Hebrew Bible was much smaller and was called The Book Of Life. It was basically a manual for living. Over the years, it grew larger and larger as more history and other material was added. This is fine, but the basic principles have become obscured and some omitted altogether.
Some of the original text is found in the Dead Sea Scrolls and other manuscripts that have been found recently in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East.
THE ORIGINAL HEBREW BIBLE
I am told that the original Bible included the following sections:
THE ONE GOD. This was a new and unfamiliar idea. Most world religions at the time had many gods who loved sex and war, and often cruelly treated each other.
The new God, named Adonai, was also invisible and everywhere, rather than found in a statue or particular place or time. This was a difficult idea for many people to understand.
CREATION. The manual included the familiar creation story. However, the story was simpler and explained that the Garden Of Eden was a nearby place where mankind was seeded and where people lived peacefully for a long time until problems arose.
The early people were not naked, however, and there were many plants and even meats for them to eat. However, they were not allowed eat fruit or any sugary food. These were food for the “gods” only.
The gods. There were gods in those days. God is a Hebrew word that means the wise one. We have a similar word in English – good. However, god means more than just good.
The gods were usually older people who knew more than the others and who had special abilities. For example, some spoke many languages. Others could hear what today is called the Holy Spirit. They counseled the people and guided them.
THE MORAL LAWS. These included the present-day Ten Commandments, The Golden Rule, and The Law Of Cause And Effect (“As you sow, so shall you reap”).
They also included rules forbidding rape, homosexuality, and abortion except in special circumstances that threatened the life of the mother.
Rape. The punishment for rape was death! Some Bible scholars say this was the most important of the all of the Hebrew rules. Rape was common, especially during a war after a battle.
The modern nation of Israel has the strictest laws against rape of any nation. It is one reason to support this nation against all threats and attacks. America and Europe, by contrast, have much lighter punishments for rape – and they have much more rape. For details, read Rape.
Slavery. The Book of Life also included the rules forbidding human sacrifice, sex with animals and cruelty toward anyone for any reason. The laws also forbade mistreating slaves because at that time in the world, slavery was common. It meant servitude to others.
For example, if one owed someone money one might put oneself into the service of the one owed the money in order to pay off the debt. This was one kind of slavery.
Another example is that if a man wanted to marry a woman, he might put himself in the service of the woman’s father or mother for a period of seven years. This is not a bad system! This way her family would get to know him and could decide if he was a suitable mate for her. This was another form of slavery or servitude.
However, sometimes slaves were mistreated and this was prohibited. For example, some women became slaves to pay a debt or for some other reason. In these cases, the laws prohibited rape and mistreatment of her.
THE FOOD LAWS. These were vital because there was junk food at the time of the Hebrew founding. The pig was the main animal eaten for food and it is an unclean animal and almost always infected with parasites, even when the meat is cooked.
So its use was forbidden, as was eating all refined, spoiled and poor quality food. Also, shellfish are quite toxic and to be avoided. Today, sadly, most fish are full of mercury and need to be avoided except for very small fish such as sardines, which are a good food even though they come in a can.
These rules were essential then, and are just as important to observe today.
THE RITUALS. These included four rituals: 1. The ritual of marriage. This is the basis of community and love. It was mandatory if at all possible. In other words, there were no monks or nuns.
Marriage is the blending of male and female, warm and cool forces of nature, power and harmony, linear and circular energy, and much more. It was usually for life. However, divorce was allowed in the case of infidelity that would spread sexually-transmitted disease and it was allowed if there was any cruelty or physical abuse. Emotional abuse was also forbidden.
Children were to have a male and female parent in all cases. If this was not possible, a man and a woman would be assigned as god-parents of the child and would have to spend a certain amount of time with their god-child.
2. Circumcision. This is necessary to protect women from rape. The ritual is slightly bloody. However, when done on the eighth day of life, as is the rule, it is not too hard on the child.
A special tool is used in the Hebrew ritual that makes it quick and fairly painless. Anesthesia is allowed.
In contrast, doing it later, as is done in the Islamic world today, is extremely traumatic. They do not allow anesthetic, which is also horrible.
Other rituals involving cutting the clitoris, rape of any kind, ritual murder such as “honor killing”, are strictly forbidden.
3. Death and burial. Bodies must not be allowed to lay around and rot. This is really a cleanliness rule. The Hebrew idea of “sitting shiva” for seven days was the rule. This is period of mourning and grieving the loss of a friend or relative that helps a person come to terms with the loss and then move on. One does not go to work and friends bring in food and whatever else the person needs to live.
4. The Rite Of Puberty. This was the holiest ritual of all. It is in the present Hebrew religion as the Bar Mitzvah for boys and Bas Mitzvah for girls. However, today, the Bar Mitzvah and Bat or Bas mitzvah has been hollowed out to the point that it is worthless.
The real Bar Mitzvah. The words mean “one who is subject to the laws and commandments”. It has been mistranslated to mean “son or or daughter of joy or goodness”. This is absolutely wrong. Read about it in Wikipedia, for example!
The ritual has to do with becoming accountable for one’s speech and actions. It is a solemn, serious moment in a child’s life, not a “party atmosphere”, as it is today in most Jewish congregations.
The ritual must occur when a child shows signs of reaching puberty. This is embarrassing for some children who develop early or late. However, it is important that it be done this way.
It was not a public ritual, as it is today, and it is not about joining the community, as it is today in Jewish tradition. It is largely private, within the family. Joining the community of adults occurred later, around the age of 17 or 18, with what we know of today in Jewish and Catholic life as confirmation. This is a separate phenomenon.
THE HOLIDAYS. In the early days of the Hebrew religion, there were only two major holidays. This is important because today there are dozens of Hebrew holidays that take up a lot of people’s time. For a while, it seemed like every unusual battle ended up as a holiday! The originally ordained holidays are:
1. The New Year, called Rosh Hashanah (literally, the head of the year). Rosh means head in Hebrew. Ha means the. Shanah means the year).
2. Passover, called Pesa in ancient Hebrew (not Pesach, which is a more modern spelling and pronunciation). Related modern words in Spanish are peso and pesado. These mean money and intensity or heaviness.
In English, we have the words pesary and pestilence. A pesary is a weight placed in the vagina to keep it in the proper position. Pestilence is a plague that is intense. The words means intense and important in ancient Hebrew.
This holiday celebrates the exodus from slavery in Egypt and the birth of the Hebrews as mature people. Slaves are not fully mature people.
This holiday also includes celebrating the giving of the Ten Commandments in the desert of Sinai. This was a monumental achievement on earth, one whose importance is still not known by most of the people of earth.
RULES ABOUT DAILY LIVING. These included:
- Rules about cleanliness, such as when to wash the hands and the body, how to wash clothing and how to keep one’s home clean.
- Sexual rules. These included the rules prohibiting sex during a woman’s menstrual period and during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
- Rules about going to bed early, avoiding alcoholic beverages except in a few situations, rules against loud music and loud voices, and more.
RULES FOR RAISING CHILDREN. These included the requirement that all children be breastfed for three (3) years.
Children were never to be beaten for any reason. Mild spanking was permitted, but that was all!
Children were viewed as young adults, and nothing less. They had rights and parents would lose custody of their children if they ignored, abused, beat or otherwise did not treat their children well. Children had to be fed the correct food even if they objected. This was also very important.
RULES ABOUT MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE, AND LEGAL MATTERS IN THE CASE OF DEATH OF A SPOUSE, DEATH OF A CHILD, AND DEATH OF A RELATIVE.
RULES OF INHERITANCE AND RULES FOR ACTION DURING A WAR SUCH AS THE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS TO PREVENT RAPE AND OTHER STANDARD HORRORS OF WAR.
RULES ABOUT STRANGERS, INNKEEPERS, HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS.
THE MESSIAH IDEA. This was in the original Bible or Torah, which means a scroll. The messiahs were advanced gods who would come when mankind was ready for more instruction or in the event of a catastrophe that required his intervention. However, the messiahs were not God, who was invisible and does not have a human body.
