The Book of Genesis is the Course of One Man's Life: Adam as the Image, the Manifestation, the Portrait of God -- You!
Sorry to burst the bubble of ignorance, but the book of Genesis is not the history of any people. It doesn't stretch over thousands of years of time. It is the story of one individual's life, auto-biographical to Moses and applicable to everyone. The whole book is an everyman -- it is your life and my life and our neighbors'. You wonder what's going on in your neighbor's life, well, here you go -- you can read all about it right here.
The story goes that God ineffable without motion who was before the beginning imagined God ineffable WITH motion. That was the beginning of us, his moving, progressing imagination, minds, and the material that makes up the earth. See, we've gotten through Genesis 1: 1 already.
We said, "Let us make man in our image"; i.e., let's grab these clay pots of humans and make them our manifestation. Adam is a portrait of this. We spirits enter them and become the whole thing, for all is one, even though the man part doesn't last too long. We can always get another.
We get excited about something we desire and it pops into living existence. Well, not exactly pops, but it comes around. This ability is our helper, "Eve."
When we attach ourselves to humans we necessarily forget everything about what we are, because we can't be unbridled Life and experience the limitations of death. It's cool to be ignorant and do just whatever we want, but the program calls for development-generating conflicts and affliction, futility. "I don't want to know good and evil."
The ignorance of our spirit wins out in our forgetting our Godhood, and we think in this world, the "field," that we are just independent, physical humans apart from God. Our mental connection with God becomes completely sublimated, though it never completely shuts up, and we put up religious substitutes for it.
What religious substitute works? Becoming a monk? Exuberant praise? Remorse? Disciplined meditation? Self control? Giving up self-lordship? Ah -- resting in faith. That leads us to a whole new world.
Resting in faith seems to work, so let's make a priesthood, an occult kingdom based on mysticism and rule the world!
No, let's not. "Get out from among them." You, the Father, go seeking on your own and become a friend of God. You face a lot of challenges in the world and it takes a really long time it seems, but you learn and grow and break through to the joy of knowing God, even to the point where you would give up anything and everything for him, if he should ask.
You start figuring out that there is an inner you and an outer you. The outer physical is just plain carnal. The inner is just plain dumb, but he can learn. Concentrating on the inner man, you learn he is imagination, and you learn how imagination works: you see this in your imagination, and then you see it in manifestation. Cool. But if it works, then you have found God.
Can what you find in your mind manifest in the physical? If you hold on real hard in faith no matter how dark the night gets. Super-cool.
The twelve tribes of Israel are aspects of the mind. One aspect is Jesus Christ, Joseph the savior. But just because he is here always with us doesn't mean he can ascend at our passing. He was bound to stay here in death, "on your belly you shall go," until we can ascend. If we do not mature into the perfect man or what ever it is that we have to become for the next stage, we get restored here again in another life, as a child destined for development-generating futility and affliction -- wailing and gnashing of teeth.
But we are going up. We are. Not one will be lost, though it take eternity for him to be found. Our bones will not be left in Egypt.
