I was raised as a Roman Catholic. I knew at an early age that religion teaches ideas it doesn't fully comprehend, and many others that it doesn't understand at all.
I was trained in the nuclear power field of the U.S. navy. I grew up in the controversy between evolution and creationism. I chose evolution because it made sense. But religion kept creeping up on me in the form of spiritual experiences. Rather than take the view of an atheist, I decided to research religion. What I discovered proved interesting.
Much of the bible can be explained through Eastern philosophy, but that isn't a subject taught by the church. Judaism was the pre-history to Christianity. The gospels and epistles of the New Testament were all written after the death of Jesus. Islam followed Christianity about 600 years later. The Koran was the dictations of Mohammed, written after his death to preserve his teaching. Mohammed started having his dictations after Christian missionaries tried to convert the Arabs to Christianity. Much of the Koran reiterates much of what you will find in the Christian bible.
Religion tries to lead you to a knowledge of God, but most have a poor conception of what God is. Religion personified God, and now the personification is what religion focuses on. There are truths underlying what religion teaches, but those truths are buried beneath dogma and misconceptions.
Eastern philosophy deals with the spiritual path that leads to enlightenment and inner awakening. This is all represented in the Hebrew tabernacle. The Holy of Holies and the ark of the covenant represent the deep wisdom, but it is shrouded in veils. The veils that surround it represent the layers that make up the body (physical, astral, mental, and spiritual).
CHRIST is the seventh energy chakra of Eastern philosophy. It represents the highest level that the mind is capable of. This is what Jesus represents. You have to find it within if you are to find it at all.
