Was thinking about the bible, which is the first "spiritual" book I've read and was thinking it could be useful to re-read.
So I was wondering do others see good points in this book?
What I see that is good in the bible
1. Oneness is expressed at various points throughout it, there also are images portrayed to illustrate the OIC and allow a connection to occur within people.
2. A lot of archetypes are portrayed throughout the book in many ways. Just reading imprints them within self in some manner. (I think this may be the strongest point, but well you know.. Oneness has to take first spot.)
3. It gives of a picture of reality with quite various colors.
4. Gives good guidance to start of in spiritual awakening.
5. Gives information about negative entities and their ways of work. Teaches how to guard yourself and also gives hindsight about why you attract them. One could also easily make out of it that there is misguidance in the book.
6. It is the words of many channeled entities and wanderers over a thousand years.
7. Although there is misguidance, misguidance is quite the effective mirror upon self. This book made me polarize much more positively than the Ra material did, although the Ra material yields greater potential. Truth be told!... although re-reading it at this point would never create the effective mirror it was as my first gateway.
About point 6, right below are the authors. An interesting question to ask of Ra, would've been questioning the polarity and intent of each author, and also the same in regards to the period where each book was written for the authors with many books.
So we got from 1400 BC to 90 AD, and as you can see there's been lot of efforts put into it. I think an open-minded person that knows the book is not absolute truth and conveys messages in images shouldn't be too scared of misguidance although one can find disheartening what people make out of portions of it without any kind of whole picture of what is in it.
I think there is a lot of positive messages, with many deeper meanings to them. Of course the ways of working of positive entities are somewhat limited in giving off information as to not infringe upon free will but I am sure it also makes them try harder to make something worthwhile out of what they can give. Like I said above, I think the main strong side of the bible is the portraying of archetypes made into stories, characters, etc.
