Stop Misreading the Bible: The Gospel of Moses is Adam Met Jesus in the Garden, Revised
The Bible was written to express a good news. Moses found something really good and wanted, or felt compelled, to let everyone else know about it. Moses' good news is the "rock" and "chief cornerstone," the central fact of reality we can base our lives on better than any other way. It is not insignificant. Major religions affecting billions of people have been based upon it for up to three and a half thousand years.
Interestingly, this good news was rejected by the builders of the first religion based upon Moses' good news. That makes one wonder: How did the builders of the religion of Moses' good news build it WITHOUT the good news? The builders preached: This is the good news, and then gave the people something else. And few were the wiser.
What did the prophet report? What was the rock and the chief cornerstone? We are warned:
"Whosoever shall fall upon (find and accept) this Stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever It shall fall (in judgment, because he rejects it), It will grind him to powder" (Matthew 21: 44 KJV; parentheses mine).
Moses discovered the good news as he contemplated jethro. Jethro wasn't some nomadic priest Moses met while wandering around in the desert. The word jethro means "his jutting-over-the-brim, abundant increase."
That sounds like pretty good news in itself, but that wasn't it. It doesn't have the impact and consequence to correlate to either the religion or to the warning.
No, there was something about jethro that Moses contemplated at length, something phenomenal about it, something about who it affected and why. In meditation and with long consideration, Moses put the pieces of the puzzle together. He realized that there was something behind it--behind the increase that is jethro: it is a process, an immutable law--if there is increase, there has to be an increasER.
Moses realized that this increaser must be conscious of our need and powerful to affect our dimension. Present, powerful, conscious, and invisible . . . and behind jethro. A conscious power that is behind everything, in fact. Behind even, thought Moses, me.
Moses lit upon the rock and was broken: Oh, dear me. God--powerful, present, conscious and invisible God Almighty--is behind "me." I am him thinking that I am me. What I do is him doing. What I think is him thinking. And when I need, it is him who increases. I am the God "behind" me, so there is no salvation other than Me.
Moses saw that the power of God's life IN HIMSELF brings into his life whatever he intently, focusedly desires: Whenever I, that is, the God behind me (who really is me), desires some experience as a young man desires his bride, his desire gives birth to that experience among the manifestly living.
Moses' good news was that each of us, within ourselves, is the God we believe is behind us. There is no separation or distance between him and us, nowhere to go to find him nor need for an intermediary to reach him. The only "separation" is in our level of awareness of being him, and the only "distance" is in our knowledge of him.
God doesn't have degrees of being what He is, but there are levels of awareness, especially as He has bought into the idea of becoming as dumb as a rock for a season and then developing himself back to the full consciousness and awareness he had before.
We are him doing this. Yes, this life--however good or bad it seems to be--was our own bright idea. And it was us who inspired the prophets to write our instructions for developing ourselves back to where we came from. The big thing, of course, is for ourselves to become aligned with God, who we really are, in our character and nature and behavior. We need the holy spirit for this, and this holy spirit needs to be sought and accepted. The Remembrancer is our gift to ourselves to get us going on the way back.
The church is for training, for educating and equipping the saints to do this work, but most do not know God in this way: How can they call upon him in whom they have not believed, and shall they believe in him in whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher . . . when all of their preachers have been taught that the Truth is a heresy? (Romans 10: 14-17).
God has become everything as one, how can he also be "other?"
This is the Gospel of Moses: you are God. "Jesus Christ--the power of God and the wisdom of God--in you" (1 Cor. 1: 24) means exactly that. Worthy is the Lamb of God who humbled himself and died of all his heavenly prerogatives to become you, and that was and is you: you are the ineffable Most High God becoming again fully conscious of your Godhood. Hey, maybe it is time to take the Bible seriously, maybe start investigating what it says and what it means by what it says.
I am a big advocate of listening to Neville Goddard's lectures, of Bullinger's Companion Bible, and Victor Alexander's translations from the ancient Aramaic texts. None of these is perfect, but they are pretty good tools in the hands of the Holy Spirit. I say the church is for training, but I need to learn myself. Hey, at least I know I need it. Let's learn and then equip everyone else. We are not becoming gods; we are not becoming God; we are God becoming. Let's find the course and take it.
