Welcome
Welcome
50 years ago, what if you told someone you could communicate with a shapeless and invisible source of knowledge that is all around you, and are able to get answers to any question you wish by spelling out letters one at a time from a flat object that you choose the letters upon. And then the same object would respond with its own letters chosen for you as the answer. Others at the time might call it Satanic magic and something evil, because to be able to have such knowledge so freely and easily without seeing its source of origin is unfamiliar and hence, fearful.
Today we call them smartphones with touchscreens.
Mystery has been a part of humanity from the beginning since our little brains began holding onto thoughts of the world over the horizon, or in the next day, or of ideas and realities that no one else can see or feel except ourselves. Before the germ theory of medicine, illnesses were thought to be the result of demons and divine punishments, things unseen that control our lives in such a powerful way.
Do most of us understand microscopic viral transmission and cellular division?
No. But we don’t fear it.
We just know that we can usually stay healthy by using certain practices. We don’t understand specifically WHY or HOW these practices about things we can’t see with the naked eye even work or what they are doing. We just know they helps us.
Mystery does not always need to be fearful.
People in the Bible had MANY practices of healing, hurting, learning and decision making that they used but didn’t understand everything about. They just knew or believed they worked for them. Like microwave ovens for people today. You press numbers, and your food gets hot without knowing the exact “how” or “why”.
Divination, magick, channeling, and curses worked for them. You know yourself, if a piece of machinery doesn’t work for you, you stop using it. If an exercise program or diet doesn’t lead you to loose weight, you stop doing it. People today are the same as people 3,000 years ago. Just like a diet works for one person but not another, people back then found some what we today would call “spiritual” practices, helped them, while others didn’t. The ones that didn’t work were not written about. The ones that did work, these people, our ancestors, continued using in their regular lives and wrote about them.
Just because humans sent a man to the moon in our time, doesn’t mean the average person today is any different than the average person 3,000 years ago. They had the same intelligence as we have today.
The topics in this course are on mysteries and practices that was recorded in the Bible that worked for those that practiced them. They found the “diet” that worked for them, metaphorically speaking.
You know what? Maybe their “diet” could work for you too? Humans are humans, and they were just as smart as we are today.
So if I’ve whet your appetite for knowledge any, let’s dig in…
