Hi,
Have you heard of the book called "Edgar Cayce on the Revelation" by John Van Auken?
The basic premise of this book is that the Book of Revelation is the result of the apostle John raising Kundalini in its ultimate form. It is an extrememly interesting book.

So what's your opinion on this?

"Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal" Dr. Wayne Dyer.
Well it is a VERY interesting book.
There is even one chapter in the book that goes into a very detailed insturction for meditation based on using the Lord's Prayer to stimulate the chakras. Apparently there are words in the Lord's Prayer (christians should be familiar with this) that are ties to the 7 chakras and there is a procedure for using the Lord's Prayer to meditate and raise Kundalini. And the author says that this practice goes back to Christ.
The Book of Revelation is thus a desciption of the 7 chakras (recall the Book of revelation talks about 7 churches etc.) and the defeat of the ego (the fall of the city in the Book of Revelation)
All of this surprised me, because I only got the book because I am a Edgar Cayce fan.
Thats interesting, I guess there is a relation to different systems. Although I prefer the Ram,Vam,Kham. (also) Lang..

Although I'm not sure I read the book, I did read a book about this very subject. (I read a lot.) I also read that a lot of the symbology in revelation is described in astrological symbols, which clarifies a lot of it. I'm not sure about the Lord's Prayer, although the original form (I believe it was called Hadash or something like that) predates Jesus, and a lot of scripture is based on mystical understanding of the way the world works.Originally Posted by alwayson4
If you want a good idea of what the original words in the Lord's Prayer meant (all it's possible meanings, in the various forms it was written) I suggest reading "Setting a Trap for God" by Rocco Errico. A must read for any christian mystic out there.

The biggest problem I have with this Lord's Prayer thing is that I've read that the Aramaic version means something very different than the one being circulated now. The first thing I would want if this was something I were to choose to investigate is a better translation.
Thats sorta a bummer.

Does this help make it less of a bummer? Several versions for you to choose from.

Exactly. That's why I recommended the book I did. In it, Errico (which btw, and if I remember corectly, has collaborated with Lamsa in many projects) presents the different versions, in all the languages it's translated to.
I read through the second link (had read it before), for example, and it mentions the eschatological meaning of "Kingdom". In "Setting", for example, he mentions that the word for Kingdom is the same as "Divine Counsel", so the meaning doesn't have to be eschatological, it can be of the present use, and it goes through its evolution.
For those interested in it it's fascinating reading.
BTW, of the links Tom posted, I like the second one better (my own personal preference, of course.)
