WHY IS THE BIBLE SO CRYPTIC?

Western culture has been taught a very distorted view of scripture and of the Bible.
The bible is not about God or religion. It is in fact a book of coded psychology.

Why would the authors go through so much effort to hide the true meaning of their message in such a cryptic or esoteric manner?

They (the religious establishment) put Galileo in prison for life for simply saying the earth went around the sun. Imagine what they would have done to the person(s) that seriously undermined the very foundation of their religious institutions. Think about the millions who suffered the inquisition or what they did to Jesus himself for having different ideas that threatened the establishment.

The bible was cleverly coded to hide the true teachings from the ignorant religionists of that time. Today's fear-based Christianity is what evolved from the religious tyranny of Galileo’s day. If those who wrote scripture had worded it plainly the authors would have had their heads handed to them or worse. Their truly enlightened teachings would not have survived for thousands of years. They would have been outright destroyed (library of Alexandrea) or they would have been rewritten and altered to a point where they no longer convey the meaning of the original message. When you do not truly understand what you are reading it becomes almost impossible to alter its meaning.

If I say we are going to go shoot the bull you understand we really don’t need a gun. You understand the hidden meaning or “dark saying” of what I said. The bibles true message is almost completely hidden in its pages in the same manner.

These cryptic scriptures were never meant for public consumption. They were intended for those who had achieved the mental capacity for true enlightenment. At that time it was for those who were initiated into the mystery schools. The Free Masons of today are close to an equivalent of the ancient mystery schools. They keep their teachings to themselves and provide a network to support each other. The general population is simply to ill-informed and religiously superstitious (god is going to punish me) to accept or even begin to comprehend the greater truths of our mind and the greater reality of consciousness itself.

Fortunately enough has been documented and handed down that the teachings of the mystery schools have survived to the present day. The purpose of the bible was never to enslave us to a vengeful god, it was to teach us about our mind, how it was formed, the various levels of awareness we can achieve (baptisms), and how to master our control over it.

The only person in the bible is you. All characters represent some aspect of our mind and its evolution from ego (Satan) to altruism (God). That should probably be the first lesson in the mystery school, that you are in fact the ego (Satan) and the altruism (God) rolled into a single consciousness.

Look at the bible more like Aesop’s fables than a book on religion. There is a much deeper meaning to what is being said than the superficial words on the page are saying. - David Smith
