The Bible

[Guest guest]

Could you consider that the Bible was perhaps not a religious book ... but

perhaps the greatest esoteric Psychology text ever written ...

 

The metaphor for man's journey from birth to death ... Genesis (Birth) to

Revelations (self judgement on the death bed)

 

When viewed in this manner, everything written takes on a new perspective ...

 

What do people think?

 

with respect

Indeed it is what you suggest.

And even more.

 

Perhaps you would be interested in reading Jung's

take on it, if you have not done so already.

 

I would especially recommend his book

_Answer to Job_, first published in 1958

in which he discusses how the Bible reflects (and

thus acts as guide to) man's journey to not just

his deathbed...but through the individuation

process...and ultimately to Self Realization.

 

Jung often cited (and apparently was influenced

by) the 17th century Christian mystic Jacob Boehme

who had written himself about the transformative/

alchemical symbolism in the Christian mythology.
