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. To recap: The first “woe” was the “plague

In my last post, we explored what actually transpires after the seventh seal is opened by the Lamb of God in the Book of Revelation. We also learned that the seventh seal is Netzach, the seventh Sefirot on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. We further learned that Netz-ach means “falcon-brother” in Hebrew, rather than “eternity”

We now come to the Rig Veda’s fourth Sukta, the first of many presumably addressed to Indra, the king of the Hindu devas. As explained earlier, Indra personifies the Red Ray of the Father’s Will to make earth like Heaven. As such, Indra represents the most powerful force in the universe — the reason he

Today, let’s talk about the Lord’s Prayer — the “example” Jesus gave his disciples as the “proper” way to pray. If you’re unfamiliar with this old standard, it reads thusly in the KJV Bible: Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom, come; Thy Will be done; on earth as it

I first drafted this post back in February 2024, after taking a few weeks off from blogging. Why the break? Mainly because I felt no compulsion to carry on. In hindsight, I can see that my lack of motivation was tied to my reluctance to continue translating the Rigveda. Who am I, after all, to

Instead of rushing ahead to the Rigveda’s third Sukta, I want to spend more time on the ten risha (female rishis) referenced in the second Rik. In my last post, I equated those “shining handmaids” with the Mahedivyas or “great wisdom” goddesses of Hinduism, the Sefirot of Jewish mysticism, the lampstands in the Temple of

Over the centuries, the illusion-manifesting Ego Mind (Brahma in Hinduism) has tangled the foundational teachings of the Great Rishis of India into such a snarled hairball of lies, it’s hard to know where to begin the “detangling” process. So, let’s start at the beginning, with the earliest and most sacred of the Hindu shruti (divinely

Today, I want to clarify that the Word of God is not a printed text. As we learn in ACIM Workbook Lesson 125: In quiet I receive God’s Word today, the Word of God is the vibratory sound emanating from the Logos to remind us of the Truths we’ve forgotten in the dream of earthly
