Genesis Foundational Principles

The Bible is a psychological drama taking place within the reader’s own mind, where every character symbolises a state of self-perception. These figures reflect inner conversations — beliefs, doubts, desires — revealing the unfolding journey of self-awareness and transformation. The narrative of the Bible is the psychological return to Eden - that is pleasure and delight

The Bible defines itself from the beginning of Genesis. It is crucial to grasp these concepts at the outset. The entire narrative connects back to them, unveiling a profound mystery. Here are the premises to help the reader begin interpreting Scripture through it's intended narrative:

THE DEFINITION OF GOD: Genesis 1:1

“In the beginning God created…”

The Hebrew word rendered 'God' is Elohim, a plural term meaning judges, rulers, and powers. It symbolises the manifold aspects of your mind and imagination at work. Ezekiel’s “wheels within wheels,” full of eyes, symbolise the self-perceiving and ever-revolving movements of self-perception. The twelve sons, twelve tribes, and twelve disciples are personified examples of these powers convening to support the assumption.

MAN AS INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTION OF SELF: Genesis 1:26

“God said, Let Us make man in Our image.”

Imagination is the union of self-perception and imaginative aspects of mind. The "judges", "rulers" and "powers" of your mind named God, convene to create your perception of self. "Man" refers to your self-concept — who you are aware of being — not a physical form. Any male or female character in the Bible is a psychological concept of your mind.

WOMAN AS THE RESPONSE TO SELF-PERCEPTION: Genesis 2:23
