Salome, Herodias, Lot's Wife, John's head, and images of the Great Flood


In this video, I reflect on a book I had growing up, The Bible for Children, retold by Bridget Hadaway and Jean Atcheson -- and upon some of the images and stories which might certainly be very disturbing to children, as well as to grown men and women (if they were not aware that these stories are based on celestial metaphor)! 

I had no idea back in the early 1970s that the stories of the Bible can be shown to be based on celestial metaphor. Today I can show with abundant evidence that the figures and events described in these texts are based upon specific constellations and heavenly cycles.

They are esoteric and not literal -- and designed to convey profound truths for our benefit and blessing, and to do so through myth.

These ancient stories, in common with ancient myth and sacred traditions given to cultures around the world, have as a central theme the illustration of our condition of alienation from Self -- and of the pathway back to reconciliation with and recovery of Self.

I hope you will find the contents of this new video to be positive in some way!
