Remove the Veil

The world is literally (pun intended) built on metaphors (allegories, similes, parables, and other figures of speech). Metaphors go beyond facts into truth and carry an IMAGE that's powerful! One such image is the parting or tearing of the veil as found in Matthew 27:51 for one. Was there such a physical act? I doubt it, but I'm fine if that's your take, but taking it metaphorically carries a far greater impact, and believability for someone seeking spiritual truths. 

The next two verses that follow fifty-one gives me a clue as to it's metaphorical truth as it sounds more like something from Michael Jackson's Thriller album. I mean can you see people crawling out of the grave, walking into town and doing what: having a long thirsty drink or maybe something to eat? How's that work anyway- literally?

When I questioned this as a young adult, I was told that God could do anything. Okay, I agree with that; however, isn't that a non answer that's basically saying "who knows"?

We need to remove the veil of religiosity!

We believe in the external world because we've not been trained to look beyond it into the spiritual realm where what you see is really, really REAL (II Cor. 4:18). We need to penetrate the veil that separates us from the spirit realm. That's what the message is in the tearing of the veil. Or as Joseph Chilton Pearce put it, "The Crack In The Cosmic Egg". We've got to break out of our religious, denominational boxes that we've built!

Revising the Southwest Airlines motto a little, "You are now free to move about the spirit world".

Ready?   :-)

Wasted Opportunity

By: Evette Gardner | 01/01/2009
