The Path:

There’s a crazy little story in the Bible about a man named “John The Baptist”. This guy lives in the wilderness, he wears animal skins for clothes, he eats locusts and wild honey, and he cries out all day long saying “Make a clear path for the Lord!” As the story unfolds, we learn that this man eventually gets his head chopped off and it’s served to the king on a silver platter for his birthday.

Whoa!

Good Lord! It sounds like Stephen King and Quentin Tarantino had a hand in writing the new testament!

These stories were never meant to be taken literally, these are not real historical events, they are spiritual allegories which conceal a hidden meaning.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; but the honor of kings is to search it out.” (Proverbs 25:2)

So, to get to the hidden spiritual truth in the scriptures, we must search it out, and this is what makes the Bible so magical; unfortunately, we have many, many churches and religious institutions today that simply fail to do this, they don’t “search it out” and so they end up teaching people surface level Christian dogma that gets people nowhere.

The story of John the Baptist is about your innermost being, the voice calling out from within, it is the path to your spiritual awakening, the path to your own divinity, the I AM that you truly are.

Read the story when you get a minute, it’s found in Matthew Chapter 14. The king was being emotionally influenced by those around him and in an effort to please them, he ordered John to be beheaded. This story is telling us that when we live our life controlled by our emotions, when we try to please everyone, we behead our own inner guidance.

The path is within.

Meditate. Sit in the silence with yourself. Be true to you.

In love and light,
