What the Bible Teaches You

The Bible is not a record of ancient history, but a symbolic map of consciousness teaching the mastery of the mind — that belief brings forth your innermost desires. Each book reveals how imagination, faith, and awareness unfold within you through its personalised identities — the men, women, judges, kings, and rulers within you — and the mental postures they represent.
