Examine a rich history of spiritual interpretations from antiquity to the present Since the sixteenth century CE, the field of biblical studies has focused on the literal meaning of texts. This collection seeks to rectify this oversight by integrating the study of esoteric readings into academic discourse. Case studies focusing on the first three chapters of Genesis cover different periods and methods from early Christian discourse through zoharic, kabbalistic and alchemical literature to modern and post-postmodern approaches. Features: Discussions, comparisons, and analyses of esoteric appropriations of Genesis 1–3 Essays on creation myths, gender, fate and free will, the concepts of knowledge, wisdom, and gnosis Repsonses to papers that provide a range of view points

Excerpt: ... ial consideration, and they start at a brisk pace, lowing with longing as they go, toward the temple of the sun (or God) "at Beth Shemish, in to the field" (the immortal life field) of Joshua the High Priest, and stand by a "stone" (the rock of our salvation), and upon this "Stone" is placed the Ark, the perfect man. As soon as he finds his feet upon the rock Joshua offers up the kine, or his entire animal nature, before the ideal of the perfect man standing upon the rock of our salvation, or the Christ. Now all this happens in the immortal life field of Joshua. Does this not identify him with Jesus who gave his body to Christ in another incarnation? But let us look farther before we judge. Several hundred years later we find in Zach. Ill: "And he showed me 'Joshua the High Priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand" (testing him), "and the Angel said unto Satan, 'The Lord rebuke thee Satan, yea the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem" (peace), "rebuke thee, is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?" "Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments" (lower mind body), "and was standing before the Angel." Remember in his last incarnation he had offered up his desire nature, now it is the mind body that must be purified. "And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him saying, 'Take those filthy garments from off him, ' and unto him he said, 'Behold I have caused thine iniquity' (lower mind) 'to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with rich apparel.'" (Wisdom.) "And I said, 'Let them set a clean miter' (or diadem) 'upon his head.' So they set clean miter upon his head" (another symbol of crowning him with true wisdom), "and clothed him with garments" (gave him a purified mind body) "and the...

The Language of Creation is a commentary on the primeval stories from the book of Genesis. It is often difficult to recognize the spiritual wisdom contained in these narratives because the current scientific worldview is deeply rooted in materialism. Therefore, instead of looking at these stories through the lens of modern academic disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, or the physical sciences, this commentary attempts to interpret the Bible from its own cosmological perspective.By contemplating the ancient biblical model of the universe, The Language of Creation demonstrates why these stories are foundational to western science and civilization. It rediscovers the archaic cosmic patterns of heaven, earth, time, and space, and sees them repeated at different levels of reality. These fractal-like structures are first encountered in the narrative of creation and then in the stories of the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, and the flood. The same patterns are also revealed in the visions of Ezekiel, the book of Daniel, and the miracles of Moses. The final result of this contemplation is a vision of the cosmos centered on the role of human consciousness in creation.
