“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

In Judaeo-Christian system of belief there has been a deep misconception that has led people to believe that the Bible is a historical account rather than a spiritual guide. This misconception, which made people take a literal approach to the Scriptures, gave rise to the misunderstanding that male homosexuality is an immoral act that comes with severe punishment. However, people who view the Bible as a spiritual guide, see beyond the literal forest and into the right symbolism of the wisdom contained in the oft-misquoted wisdom.

Probably the biggest significant and sad misunderstanding of the Scriptures arose from the discussion around the verse Leviticus 20:13. It has made many a mother ashamed of her son and left a deep emotional scar in extraordinary people wanting to live their extraordinary lives. Many believe that this verse, and the entire Book of Leviticus, deals with physical human behavior and its consequences. Actually, Leviticus, like the rest of the Bible (Old and New Testaments), deals strictly with the workings of the mind.

Biblical characters, places and events are symbols, metaphors and parables for how the mind operates and how it creates physical reality, no less. Leviticus 20:13, specifically explains the fact that your mind cannot entertain two thoughts at the same time, and does not judge the act of two “mankind” as an “abomination.”

Mind-based interpretation of the Bible believes that the story of the seven days of creation in the Book of Genesis is not an explanation of how the universe was created; rather, it is a list of the sequence of the seven states of mind that lead to the creation of our reality. By going through these states of mind, you can – and do – manifest your every plan, dream and desire.

In this post I talk about a few definitions and clarifications of some of the symbolism of the Book of Genesis and Leviticus 20:13. I give some technical terms and the Hebrew origins of some of the words, so please bear with me through the tedious parts. It is important to understand the misunderstanding at the root level. I also use capitalization on some of the terms to distinguish them from their “regular” meaning. So let’s get right into it, shall we?

In the Bible, “man” is a symbol for a unit of Consciousness, or a unit of memory, while “woman” is a symbol for the Sub-conscious, or the state of what is considered to be forgetfulness. Man is Remembrance, which is the conscious revisiting of a thought, while Woman is Forgetfulness, which is simply a unit of memory existing in the unconscious part of the Mind. In other words, man is an object of focus, while woman is an object outside the focus of the Mind.

Adam or Formed Consciousness is a level of Consciousness. Zakhar or Remembrance or male, as it is often referred to, is a level of Formed Consciousness. In other words, zakhar is the part of the human mind that remembers. Remembrance is the basis for all senses. The reason it is called memory is because all that you sense is simply the remembering of a part of Consciousness, which is a part of Awareness, which has already created everything. Sensing is remembering your own God-being. Male in this verse illustrates that this unit of memory protrudes or bulges, in the obvious metaphoric nuance of the word. Zakhar or Remembrance or male represents the Awareness of Space.

The Hebrew word nekeva means an aperture. It means an orifice, or a cavity, in the obvious metaphoric nuance of the word. Nekeva is a cavity in adam, your Formed Consciousness. Forgetfulness is not a lack of Awareness, since Awareness is omnipotent and omnipresent. In Awareness there is no remembrance or forgetfulness, only existence. Forgetfulness is the absence of Consciousness.

In this captivating but oft-misunderstood verse, it is taught that no two men, or males, or Remembrances, can occupy the same space and get the results that can be obtained by pairing Remembrance, male or man, with Forgetfulness, female or woman. In fact, it would be impossible; it would be an abomination.

“They shall be put to death” means that they would not have knowledge of life, that is, the attempt of one memory to lie with or perfectly overlap with another memory cannot create the conditions necessary for manifesting an experienced reality. The effort of trying to combine two units of memory together in order to manifest would be in vain. “Their blood shall be upon them” means that the force of life, or blood, will not continue to circulate inside them and maintain life; instead, they will “bleed out” any possibility of creating life.

The vain attempt to think two thoughts at the same time would cause a state of frustration and a sense of being stuck. You cannot experience two states of mind simultaneously. That’s actually good news. A happy state of mind cannot be consciously experienced at the same time as a sad one. Joy crowds out misery.

Similarly, no two minds can desire precisely the same thing, because each mind imagines differently, since they come from different perspectives of life. Likewise, a human mind cannot occupy the same point in the space-time continuum as another human mind. No human experience is identical. Every human experienced reality is a parallel world within the Universal experience.

Consciousness cannot manifest Consciousness. Consciousness must go through the Subconscious in order to manifest. Your Consciousness must impress an idea upon your Subconscious in order to manifest your desire. Consciousness has to “impregnate” the Subconscious with a belief in order to manifest it back in the intended nature in Consciousness.

Let’s impress our Subconscious with beneficial ideas, with sublime ideas, with ideas that promote goodness in yourself and others; let’s impress upon our Subconscious creative feelings of goodness; let’s desire integrity and trust, and we will experience these fleshed out as a glorious life for everyone.
