I will now talk about the Creative Forces within Man, while naming the elements and giving a short explanation of their significance.
PROPHETIC VISIONS
God passes to the Lamb the destiny of the World. "The four beasts" are four destructive forces as in carnal desires that rise within one's self, to destroy.
"A door open in heaven": a doorway to consciousness. IV: I
"The first voice as a trumpet" = a vibration.
"I was in the spirit" = deep meditation, vision or lucid dreaming. IV: 2
"A throne set in heaven": John was shown the seat of the soul/entity in consciousness. Heaven is within the mind, the place where truth is made manifest.
"The one... on the throne": Consciousness. The feat of knowing the inner self. The throne is in the head where the higher gland centres are centered.
"Twenty-four elders": The twenty-four cranial nerves of the brain related to the five senses. "The elders are clothed in white raiment" = each nerve is covered in white sheets. They are white because they are pure, and free from all ill fated influences lV: 4
"Crowns of gold on their head": Gold is a healing force which helps us remember that we are responsible for our actions.
"From the seat of consciousness come the lightning and thundering and the voices": These relate to the acceptance and rejections of our memories or to impulses arising from the body. Nature's and our choices at the mind or pineal level of consciousness IV: 5
"Lightning" could have something to do with flashes of insight or extrasensory perceptions, as well as inspiration and thoughts.
"Thundering" could mean new concepts.
"Voices" = voices in the dream state.
"Lamps": Spirits (angels) of God; forces to help us do the Will of God.
"Sea of glass": Our eyes, our vision.
We are "four beasts full of eyes before and behind": Eyes before would mean 'in consciousness' and eyes behind means 'unconsciously'. Could also mean 'consciousness of what was past (behind) and of what is to come (before)'. We express our earthly selves both consciously and unconsciously. We evolve toward total consciousness. IV: 6
"Each beast has 6 wings each": Wings = influences: Expression of the spirit, idea and purpose (1 set of wings for each expression). (3 expressions: Positive and negative). Each beast has 6 wings in order to fly when it is ready. "Fly": Go to higher levels of consciousness IV: 8
"Six" (6) is also the first perfect number. The forces are perfect servants fulfilling each and every request made by us; therefore they deserve the perfect identifying mark signified by the number 6.
The Book with "the seven seals" is the human body with its seven spiritual centres.
The phrase, "out of the right hand of him" means: The guardian of memory is taking all memories that are stored in the unconscious - accessible to consciousness from the right brain - when we stand still and let things be. V: I
"Four beasts and twenty-four elders fall down before the Lamb and have harps". All centres recognize the Lord of their being and vibrate accordingly.
First "strong angel": Guardian of memory or ego when man is not ready to remember. Ego is too strong. Only the Son of Man can understand the language of the right hemisphere. V: 2
"Golden vials full of odours" = renewing force. The odours are the reminders for and in memory, to return to the source.
Angels in Revelation = Helpful influences; Angels.
"The Lamb has 7 eyes and 7 horns": Jesus has mastered his 7 glands or seals. The 7 horns are 7 vibrations, again, spirit, ideas and purpose of each "gland".
His evolution is complete. 7 eyes and 7 horns = 7 Spirits or Forces of God. V: 5
"The Lamb breaks the seven seals": The opening of the seals is the opening of the memory, the seeing of causes.
"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say: A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine". VI: 6
Three measures of barley for a penny refers to the weights placed upon the life force as it is tested by time (body), space (thought, mind) and patience (spirit, soul), each is a measure of understanding.
"See thou hurt not the oil and the wine", relates to the spirit and purpose in which we create whatever form we give to life. The wheat relates to the bread offered, while from the barley comes the intoxicant of "for self" or "for others".
"Pale horse, its rider: Death". Activity is from the thymus, seat of love but also of the Self. This seat can be for others or for ones self. In view of our ambivalence between self or others, no color can be attached here for certain, other than when the true spirit of love is allowed to flow to others. The name of its rider is 'Death'. Our desires, imaginings and self-delusions must die. Therefore, its name: Death.
"Hades was following him": That which man does to himself and himself alone, creates a hell for him. He who creates a hellish situation must meet himself in what he has built.
"Black Sun" means the giving away of our own EGO. VI: 12
"Moon turning red" means the sacrifice of self is reflected on the moon or "in the imagination". Imagination changes.
"The stars of heaven": Influences of the planetary forces within us. The guiding influences for the ideas and patterns of response we have accepted as being the stars of our consciousness. Heaven: State of consciousness. VI: 13
"Every mountain and island was removed out of its place": We have to rearrange our concepts, memories and our ways of responding. Old concepts and memories no longer fit our new state; we have been uprooted. 'Wind' is a new spirit. VI: 14
"The heaven departing as a scroll" is the transformation of our thinking.
"The Kings of earth" are our concepts, the ones we give the power to govern us. Similarly are the great men, rich men, chiefs, captains, mighty men, bondsmen and freemen; these are all the types of governing influences we have given power to. VI: l6
"The Wrath of the Lamb" is symbolizing Jesus cleansing of the Temple. We all must meet our Self, in mind, in body and in spirit. VI: l6
"The sixth seal" refers to the mental activities and memories throughout the body.
'I saw four angels': They are like the physical forces of man's nature. VII: 1
"The four corners of the World" are the four centres of interest: Hereditary, environment, mental and spiritual. The "angels" are as the forces that would change the direction of the wind (the spirit) whenever it takes a direction that might hinder the operation of the forces on earth and in the sea (water); for they build toward the tree (of life) that becomes our expression. The heredity influences (the wind) are not to hurt (to blow about) the Creative Forces.
"I saw an angel coming up from the Orient": It is the rising of a new consciousness as a force in itself. VII: 2
"The seal of the living God" shows that some memories and activities in consciousness are in perfect accord with God, free of our will. Hence they have the right to be sealed in the soul. 'Sealed' means spiritualized. VII: 3
"I learned how many had been sealed with the seal: One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel"; (we saw in a previous chapter that "Israel" is "the one who seeks"). The twelve tribes are the twelve centres (five physical senses + seven glands) of he who seeks. Twelve thousand children (neurons) multiplied by the twelve sons (centres of interest) equal one hundred and forty-four thousand nervous centres of the human body, centres we must "seal" or spiritualize. Those centres are cellular structures. VII: 4
And this is also to consider: a vibration is composed of the 3 elements of spirit, mind (ideas) and purpose. Since Jacob had 12 sons, considered as manifested ideas or influences which relate to other ideas springing from the same source, there is a correlation to the evolutionary forces in this: Time, Space and Patience as measures of understanding moving through the 4 elements: Earth, water, fire and air - hence 3 times 4 = the 12 sons of Jacob.
Their "evolution together" means they influence or move through each other (as ideas) before there can come full understanding. This is shown in the square of 12 (122): 12 by 12 = 144. As to the numbers in 144 themselves: The 1 =wholeness, the 4's = cycles of activity through the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual spheres of influences. "0" (zero) is God. It we put these three numbers, I, 4, 0, together, we obtain: 140 or 5 which means: The desire to discover the truth.
"Palms in their hands" refers to the acceptance of a new consciousness. VII: 9
"Elders" are shadows of acceptances and rejections that live in our subconscious. They are memories to be spiritualized. VII: II
"All before the throne" shows the merging of consciousness and unconsciousness.
"The seventh seal": The recall of memory.
"The sounding of the 7 angels" is as the experiences during physical purification. The 7 angels represent spiritual forces governing the various dimensional planes through which souls pass between incarnations on the earth. The sounding of the seven angels represents the influence of spiritual development during physical purification.
"another angel": The spirit in which we do to one another becomes an angel or a devil according to our intent and purpose. VIII: 3
"the angel has a censer, flowers, perfume and fire. The angel fills the censer with fire and throws it on the earth": The images we present before the throne are those we create according to our drives. This shows how our efforts and our images of us are cast into our alchemical furnaces (at the gonad level) for a remolding of our inefficiencies. The fire from heaven is within us. We must purity and transform ourselves. VIII: 1-6
"The first Angel sounded": The result of the activity in the body, in the earth forces as we create our desires. At this level we crystallize the forms of our concepts and give them life: Ours. This accounts for the blood and hail mixture. VIII: I
"One third of the earth and the trees are burning": Our growth is burned up. We are building the trees of our life. Our burned up temperament is the third part of the vibration concerning our purposes in forming the image raised to awareness.
"All green grass being burned up" refers to the first cause in Genesis wherein the earth grew grass before animals. The angel sounding brings us back to the first of earthly creations, so as to begin again.
The next verses (VIII 8 to 13) refer to the life force principles. The "sea" represents the total unconsciousness of the psyche and relates to what is created and rejected in present life situations.
The "mountain" represents our conflicts and conflicting forces according to our purposes and those held by the angel; the life force, which is mingled with our life, and thus with our blood.
The "creatures" are our imagined ideas. They are in the sea of our unconscious mind.
"A third part of the ships was destroyed": What the ships carried was destroyed or rejected. This can be action born from ideas put into practice.
"A great star" signifies the coming of the influence from without to the influence from within. VIIII: 10-1
"One third of the rivers and springs". These rivers are the pathways of the flow of spirit (energy) throughout the body. The fountains are sources in the body from which spring influences which affect memories difficult to digest. VIII: 10
"Eagle" = angel = superior spiritual influence warning us to change our selves and telling us of the three superior angels who must also be conquered. VIII: II
"The fifth trumpet" is linked to ideals, will and to the goals we aim at; we shall not really look for physical death, but for the death of our harmful or satanic (negative) instincts. We will want to kill everything that impedes our spiritual growth.
"The Angel of the Abyss": That is our Satan. He will try to lead us into error; it is he we must fight. IX: 1-12
"Euphrates River": The kind inner river that calls for the changes that must influence different parts of the body so as to free the emotions and thoughts created by the individual in view of cleaning the paths of the body that Creative Forces take. Change must occur when energetic centres (chakras) open up. IX: 3
"The horsemen" are our ideas and dreams: Those of the "I" and the ego; all the self-centered thoughts of the being; the images and the memories of each of our concepts and desires.
"Imminence of final punishment": Another mighty angel: An influence coming to awareness (the conscious mind activity). Consciousness = heaven. X:1
"Rainbow upon his head": Literal force or activity in the mind.
"Legs" as columns of fire: Understanding.
"Take the small book": Accept responsibility for our memories and for our past and present actions. X: 8: II
"You have to prophecy again before many people and nations and tongues and kings": The memories held by us in the body relating to the body cells which must be spiritualized. The kings and tongues are the ways we react to situations, that which we bow down to, all within us. X: 11
"The two witnesses": The Book is the study of the Body, the Mind and the Soul. Once we have eaten the Book, we must come to understand: We may come and drink the Water of Life and be whole in Him. To eat the book is to take responsibility for all we are and did.
"A reed like unto a rod": With what measure ye mete it shall be measure to thee again. Xl:1
"Heaven" is a state of consciousness. The "altar" is a place of self-sacrifice.
The right hemisphere of the brain refers to the "Holy of holies".
"The two witnesses... the two olive trees... the two torches": Those are the two parts of the brain, left and right, the innate and the emotional or the spiritual-mental and the psychological-mental; the subconscious and the super conscious. They are full of our emotions that came from planetary and between-life sojourns in the world of the dead. Xl: 4
"Clothed in sackcloth": Thoughts and actions being the dead and buried past, whether in the earth plane or from between earth lives. Xl: 13
"God of the Earth": Terrestrial forces in the four elements: Earth, water, fire, air = Ego.
"They have power to shut heaven": The bodies of memories, to not remember, or to shut consciousness. XI: 6
"The two witnesses are dead": When we choose not to remember, we are dead to our mental and our divine memory. Our memories are as dead. They can be recalled by thought. We live by the Law but we do not pay attention to the Law. We react in lieu of acting. Xl: I
"Large city, or Sodom or Egypt": They are conditions, circumstances and experiences. Egypt represents liberation from slavery: Sodom and Gomorra. We realize that we have transgressed the Law. "The street on which dead memories lie seems the way of life". XI: 8
"Cadavers kept exposed": To exhibit our dead. Xl: 9
"The residents are celebrating": We are no longer tormented because we don't care what happens. XI: 10
"The witnesses awaken, death is afraid of them". The God in each of us awakens because we want to live. XI:11
"They went up to heaven": The witnesses start to live on spirituality.
Twenty-four elders are physical forces. XI: 2
"The nations" are body/mind cells of memory, which are not spiritualized because they are not yet serving the Son, as are the elders. The body forces must recognize the Son before they can do their portion spiritualizing all the cell memories, the cleansing of the mind/body. XI:18
"The temple of God" is the body. XI:19
"... the ark of his testament appeared": Refers to how we learn anything.
"The lightning, thundering and voices" are the words of the Creative Forces.
"The earthquake" is the shaking up of all concepts and memories.
"... hail fell abundantly": The crystallization of our ideas and concepts. The words are in the form of hail, which is crystallized water (or spirit) and crystallized spirit is Life manifest.
Let us say something about number 666. John described that number as being that of the "BEAST". No way is it the number of an alleged Satan, outside of us, who would make us do stupid (negative, satanic) things. In reality, it is our number, each and every one of us, big or small.
This number comes down to us from Solomon. During his reign, in a period of one year, he received six hundred and sixty-six golden gifts that he squandered without caring to know where his treasure was going. That number was picked up by John to show us what happens when we misuse our talents.
The "beast" is inside us, when we use our talents to the detriment of society and of those around us, or to project an image taller or bigger than we really are. The symbolic number of the Beast, 666, is showing us someone who uses his talents for self-agrandizement, who is lenient to the self and who glorifies the self. We can say of that person that "his days are numbered", that he is going towards spiritual death, because what is lacking in the person's make-up is God's consciousness.
I sincerely hope this reading will incite you to a deeper search of this book that seems so complicated. To better understand it, let everything relate back to the self (you) and you shall see more clearly. Let us not forget that, as is the Bible, the Revelation shows us the way to the work that will take us back to being Children of Consciousness... when we read it with the Spirit.
