"This is Where You are From"

It is not history which is the truth; it is Biblical allegory which is the truth. I mean that it is Biblical allegory which refers to our real reality. The physical history we are told/sold, is not a literal history. We are spirit. Our literal "physical" history we have no history of - it is lost to us. We think the Biblical allegories are our actual "physical" history because we are here and have nothing else to go by. It is delusion. It is just that somebody said, "This is where you came from," and we had no other reference. "Oh," is all we could say. It's a load of crap. The Biblical allegories are the closest thing we have to tell us where we actually come from and to where we are going. They refer us to our "real" history and destiny, which is spiritual.

A good book on the subject of historical delusion: The Mythic Past: Biblical Archaeology And The Myth Of Israel by Thomas L. Thompson; Basic Books; 1999. I read it back then. Thompson does not share my spiritual views. I read interpretively to substantiate my opinions. He wrote to substantiate his. One standard principle of the empire builders was to move whole populations from one place to another, killing all their elders, disassociating them from their traditions, and then sending them still someplace else:

"This is your old homeland."

"It is?"

"Yep. And in these books you will find your ancient laws and the traditions of your elders. This is just the way it was."

"Well, if you say so, though the eldest of us say it doesn't look like it did at all."

Because it never was at all!
