The cat’s outta the bag:

Come on in, pull up a chair and let’s shoot the bull, but don’t spill the beans, and don’t have a cow!

Break a leg, give em’ hell, it’s raining cats and dogs out here!

Let’s address the elephant in the room now that the cat’s outta the bag.

What makes more sense, to take all of the above statements literally, or to interpret them as figures of speech, as allegorical phrases?

Well, if you’re literally preparing to shoot a real life bull right now, I’d say we have a problem; and yet this is how the majority of people have chosen to interpret the Bible. It was never meant to be taken literally. Never.

The Bible is written from start to finish in an eastern allegorical and mystical language, and when we try to take it literal, chaos and confusion are the result. Just take a look around the world today and you will see the results of this, it effects everything.

Galatians 4:24 - “These things written in the Bible are an allegory.

Left brain = Literal thinking.

Right brain = Mystical thinking.

“Cast your net on the right side.” (John 21:6)

One of the greatest things we can do for ourselves is to stop looking at the Bible through the red, white and blue lens and see it for what it truly is, an ancient mystical book of eastern wisdom and consciousness. It is a book addressed to the human imagination, and when approached in this manner it will “take you from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2nd Corinthians 3:18)

In love and light,
