At last, we reach the Fifth Sukta of the Rigveda, the most ancient and sacred of the Hindu scriptures. This one also concerns King Indra, but it’s neither a hymn nor a metered poem. Like the first four Riks, the fifth is a spiritual teaching aimed at “Brahmins.” Contrary to popular egoic belief, Brahmin is

Working out the true meaning of the three Greek letters generally mistranslated as “666” made me curious about all the other strange numbers sprinkled through the Book of Revelation. Are they also ciphers? We find, for example, the spelled-out numbers 42 and 1,260 in the following verse, wherein neither number has any useful meaning. The

Today, we’re back to the seven trumpets and the three woes from the Book of Revelation, following a brief-but-productive detour into cherubim-hunting. For those not keeping track, we’ve reached Revelation 11, which describes the second “woe” foretold to occur in the final ays before the dream-world disappears.

One of these might be, “What possessed us to leave Heaven in the first place?” The simplest answer is that we yearned to experience what Course-Jesus calls “specialness.” Bored with the egalitarian grind of Oneness, some of the Souls belonging to

Get comfortable, because this post is lengthy, but also chock-a-block full of insightful information – as will be most of my future postings about Spiritual Truth. Originally, I published this as a four-part series called “What is God?,” which made it less daunting to read, but looked awkward in the browser. So, here we are
