Preface ost people consider the Revelation of Saint John M to be a mystery. It is also called The Apocalypse or Book of Revelation. It has generally been positioned as an enigmatic eschatological book of prophecy written entirely in symbols to predict events that will occur at the end of the world as we know it. Biblical scholars also see it from a preterist viewpoint that holds that Revelation outlines events which occurred in the first century, especially as they relate to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Another, more historical perspective, asserts that the Book of Revelation identifies prominent world leaders as benev- olent or malevolent symbols to be dealt with by the second coming of Christ. Finally, there is another, more metaphysical view, that differs radically from the externally-focused views mentioned above. It examines the allegorical, metaphysical and symbolic implica- tions of the Book of Revelation and places the entire context of the symbolism as traits, qualities, characteristics and physical aspects within us. It is this perspective that I humbly but unapologetically share with you. In clear language, what does this highly metaphysical treat- ment of a highly esoteric and symbolic book written over 2,000 years ago offer you, the reader? It is written in part to help make Christianity whole at last, to help it move toward its mystical roots, to prompt it to get back in touch with its core nature. Revelation 2 I share this longing lovingly, but emphatically, because Christianity has succumbed to a purely patriarchal mindset that has eroded its message and caused it to hide behind rigid, fossilized dogma. That being said, the main reason I wrote this metaphysical handbook describing the unfoldment of our Christ Nature is to inspire people who consider themselves more spiritual than reli- gious to devote themselves to their inevitable enlightenment. And this devotion in route to enlightenment is composed of many levels of awareness. Each level, or pocket of awareness is usually more expan- sive than the previous level. What we want to avoid is for any and all spiritual, metaphysical, religious and scientific opinions, insights and revelations to sound like sophisticated versions of children yelling at each other “It is!” “No, it isn’t!” “I’m right!” “You’re wrong!” “No, I’m right!” There are still plenty of spiritual, metaphysical, religious and scientific interpretations to be made as we increase our collective awareness of who and what we really are and our relationship to one another and to the universe which we have made our home away from Home. And when we come across dogmatic asser- tions of any kind I hope we’ll catch the nonsense of rigidly defending those dogmatic restraints by rolling over backwards with hoots and howls of good-natured laughter. In this book, I call for the dismissal of the concept of a vengeful, amygdala-driven, anthropomorphic god in the sky. I advocate ‘defriending’ dogma and disowning of a literal-only interpretation of sacred scripture. I propose growing beyond the embedded theology of your youth in order to open your mind to the perennial wisdom and universal truths that reveal your True Divine Nature! 3 Revelation I invite you to embrace my metaphysical interpretation of the Book of Revelation as a love offering toward your own enlightenment. And if you should feel led to send me opinions and insights of your own that you’ve gained from the reading which are different than mine, I look forward to the both of us rolling over backwards with hoots and howls of good-natured laughter at the partnership we’ve established in helping one another become more enlightened! How to Read This Book The first third of the manual explains humankind’s makeup and incarnational propensities as three-dimensional spiritual beings having a human experience. The last two thirds offer guidance on how to apply the principles outlined for your spiritual development and eventual enlightenment. The process of transcendental self-discovery (small ‘s’ self, your human self) and Self-recovery (capital ‘S’ Self, your Christ Self) is the sole subject-matter journey outlined in this manual. It is your journey toward conscious Christhood! It involves your willingness to see yourself as a human expression of the Christ Presence in physical form as you. This description of your conscious awareness and subsequent unfoldment toward your Christ Nature offers no apology for announcing your deification. You are God, the Eternal Presence, the Infinite Isness expressing Itself as you. Of course, with the much too long awaited announcement of your deification comes responsibility responsibility for your own enlighten- ment and modeling that enlightenment so others can see your Christ Light shine. Revelation 4 This New Metaphysical Version is intended for use along- side any of your favorite traditional versions. I recommend using this book as a study guide for congregational services, as well as for private study, meditation, and daily inspiration. It is suggested that traditional versions of The Book of Revelation be used as supplements to this version, so that readers can com- pare traditional interpretations to the metaphysical content of this NMV verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter. I have provided both wings and landing gears with this metaphysical rendering, so that it is both practical and down to earth.
