Exodus 3:14 "I Am YOU, You Twit!"

The burning bush was Moses. Moses was seeing/was being shown HIMSELF: the outer physical and the spiritual, imagining "Angel" within. "What is Your name?" "I am THAT, that two part being--I am YOU, you twit!" I remember back to when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. In a trance, I saw mud scooped from the earth and shaped like a man. The mud was transformed into bones, organs, tissues--into a complete human body. Then it was made to live. It breathed and saw through its eyes...and thought. I wondered what it thought, and then I began to see through its eyes and to think its thoughts. I virtually became the mudman. AS the mudman I discovered my sinfulness and repented and was saved, baptized in the Holy Ghost. "I" was the two of us: me--the mental rider seeing through the mudman's eyes and thinking his thoughts--and the mudman himself. "I" was two beings! In my trance/vision I had been watching and experiencing MYSELF.

And so Moses. Brought up in the Egyptian religions, forty years living amongst Midianite believers in the true God, in a meditation trance pursuing that true God Moses is shown HIMSELF--TWO PARTIES in one: the physical outside and the spiritual inside. Credit this insight to Guthrie and Motyer et al. (1970. The New Bible Commentary: Revised. London: Inter-Varsity Press/ Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdman's Publishing Co. p. 122-123) who say: "The 'burning bush' is not in any way a symbol of Israel. God is living (the burning bush was not consumed and therefore the flame was self-maintaining), and holy (fire or flame was an emblem of the purity that constituted a threat to sinners)." The Angel of YHWH was saying, "THAT, THE TWO PARTIES IN ONE--the physical body 'bush' and the self-maintaining eternal spirit within it--are ME. Because you are Me, and I am you, let's get our act together."
