ANIMAL AND HUMAN SACRIFICE IN THE BIBLE

If you will bear with me for a few moments, I assure you that you will walk away with new knowledge, and a better understanding of ancient scriptures dealing with sacrifices than you currently have. So ... if you're up for it, here we go.

The Bible says God was “disgusted with animal sacrifice” ... so he wanted a human sacrifice. So literal Roman Christianity came along, and said that God is not satisfied by killing just animals, he needs to have a human sacrifice. And so they misinterpreted the mythology of Jesus in the same way that the ancients misinterpreted the mythology of Animal sacrifice. Strap in ...

“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me, says the Lord ... I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts, and I delight not in the blood of bullocks , or of lambs or of the goats ... When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand ... And when you spread your hands, I will hide my eyes from you when you make many prayers. I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.”

~The Book of Isaiah (OT)

Pretty clear, is it not? He will “hide his eyes” from you when you pray to Him. So what do we make of this conundrum? Is it all that difficult to comprehend? Let’s go beyond (meta) the literal text, and seek the Truth within. Let’s go past the “letter of the Law.”

When you separate from thought ... you are indeed sacrificing your animal nature. When you sacrifice your human nature ... you become Divine, that is what these sacrifices are all about. They are esoteric, veiled in metaphor. It was misunderstood then, and even still today. The “old man” dies and the “new man” is reborn. The Christ (Divine Spark of God) resurrects from within you. Your negative animal base nature becomes positive, loving, compassionate, joyful, caring, and unified with your Higher-Self. You have raised your consciousness to a higher vibration. You have resurrected and ascended into heaven. This is the deeper Truth wrapped in myth and parable.

All of the murders and sacrifices were intended to be allegories and metaphors. To “kill” everyone and save the young female virgins was a surface story for a deeper message ... to keep and protect your creative aspect. The feminine is the creative principle in all of nature. God, Father, Source, Spirit, is the Divine masculine. Earth, Mother, matter, is the Divine feminine. The Divine seed is planted in the earth (matter), and the begotten of God are brought forth into form ... manifest birth. Just as a seed is planted in the earth in order to grow.

The Divine Feminine is the womb of the Universe (YOUniverse). The Divine Masculine is the void from which all unlimited and unbounded potentiality emanates. The ancient Wisdom of the early Pagan civilization has become lost through incorrect literal interpretation of the Sacred Inner Mysteries of The Ages. Question everything. The answers are within.

Just a thought ...
