Biblical Symbolism, The Female Character

As we have discussed the entire bible is symbolic mysticism. It was given to us by those who communed directly with the Christ. If scripture is the inspired word of God then by their very nature scriptures are creations of mysticism. It would be mistaken to read scripture by any lens other than the lens of the authors.

Probably one of the most egregious misinterpretations of scripture is that of the female. In ancient times the female played a more vital / center role in religious belief systems. It was not until we de-evolved into warring tribes that the dominate male role emerged.

In mysticism the female represents either your emotions or your spirit depending upon context. The woman at the well is in reference to your spirit seeking the Christ. The woman (your spirit) goes to the well to get water (seeks the truth) and bumps into Jesus (the Christ). Even though she (you) may believe she is unworthy of Christ he reaffirms her (you) that no one is without him regardless of their beliefs.

In the higher aspect of our mind the female represents our spirit. In the lower aspect of our mind the female represents our emotions. The woman is to be subservient to the man simply means that your emotions are to be subservient to our higher mind. The male (Jerusalem) is symbolic for our mind. We are not to be led or controlled by our emotions. Sadly women have tragically suffered in our society because errant people insist on reading the bible literally.

When the bible speaks of sin it is talking about living in the emotions. Modern religionists have defined sin as anything bad. The mystics who wrote the bible understood sin as dwelling in the emotions. Getting mad and acting upon that anger was a sin.

In Adam and Eve the serpent (the kundalini within us) interacted with our emotions. Eventually our emotions got us to act up our desire. It was not until Adam (our mind) took action that things went wrong. Actual living breathing women have NOTHING to do with the Adam and Eve story. Samsun & Delilah is basically just a retelling of the Adam and Eve story. Again in the Samsun story he allowed his emotions to rule him and he lost his connection to God.

So whenever you see a female in the bible pay attention to see if it is referring to your spirit or your emotions.
