The Biblical account of the two descendancies from Adam and Eve should not be interpreted merely as actual people and the generational delineation of human progeny. Not if we are investigating the Qabalistic Cosmogony of Consciousness, because this is exactly what these descendancies are describing, albeit in coded prose.
Early clerical and secular ‘authorities’ who had translated and interpreted ancient esoteric literature through the centuries were themselves (as we are currently) incomplete creations who were evolving modes and levels of our personality complex. We are still in that making. While we explored our physical environments our consciousness expanded and our interpretations of all these surroundings and past events matured as we evolved.
Through periods in our history hidden wisdom had been sequestered, secreted and otherwise privy only to the select under the guise that it was too sacred and too advanced for the general populations. That was when religion held tightfisted ‘influence’ over fawning and frightened flocks. When the printed Bible was finally presented to the mass consciousness hitherto, it had gone through multiple revisions and interpretations under the dictates of various temporal authorities.
Yet, fortunately for us all, through those many simple interpretations of world esoterica explained as actual events with real characters, the core arcane wisdom was kept in tact for succeeding generations to re-interpret as we continue to mature. Such was the wisdom of those early purveyors of the original manuscripts.
Today religions and churchianity are on the wane. The Piscean passage is being nudged away by the New Religion of Science. Nothing is so until it is proven the way Science says! The Bible is read less and less since the old staunch and tired interpretations are falling behind the advance of collective consciousness settling into the Aquarian dispensation. And now, again, new explanations of ancient esoterica have popped up, from outer space! We have ‘ancient alien astronaut’ theorists who would contend the Ark of the Covenant contained advanced alien technology! Angels were actually aliens! Noah’s Ark was an alien space ship! Aliens created The Flood! Elijah was the first alien abduction! Jonah spent 3 days in an alien submersible! Thor’s hammer and Neptune’s trident were advanced alien techno-weapons! Ancient edifices were built by aliens using gravitation! The Nazca lines are ancient alien landing strips! We all, evolved from alien seed, are now seeking our father-roots ‘out there’ in galaxies far, far away!
Well, we keep trying to evolve nonetheless. Ageless Wisdom, however, is still here, as it always has been. And it is waxing from the early hidden depths of our psyches as our collective consciousness discovers its verifiable source to be One, and only One. The ancient stories and mythologies from the world over are proving their worth as we gravitate closer and closer to THAT WHICH IS WITHIN. Those with the actual experience of THAT POINT in the CENTER are making their voices heard. And many different paths are leading to the same destination.
If the Qabalah is your path of choice, and the Judaeo-Christian experience was your roots, then the Bible, with its earliest original language presentations in the forms of the Hebrew-Aramaic, Greek and Latin manuscripts are the best written material available.
And the map to the CENTER POINT is laid out in coded allegory.
