Few passages from the scriptures have been so grossly misunderstood, thus misinterpreted, as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Until recently, when Einstein has proven that All is Energy (hence that everything perceptible to our senses is an Illusion) we had little choice but to interpret John of Patmos vision in terms of solid objects, such as riders and their horses. In addition, the interpreters saw everything in terms of religious mythology.
We know, however, that we are not just our bodies endowed with rudimentary artificial intelligence, but that essentially:
WE ARE STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
The whole Bible is based on, and motivated by, the Omnipresence of Spirit. If we substitute the words OMNIPRESENT ENERGY for OMNIPRESENT SPIRIT, we shall begin to understand what the Bible is about. Neither the prophets nor Yeshûa taught religion. They taught their understanding of reality.
Yeshûa, also known as Jesus, disliked religion lead by Scribes and Pharisees, (the priesthood of His day), intensely. He not only objected to any supernatural concepts, but did his best to convince his followers that whatever acts of his had been interpreted as miracles, were, in fact, perfectly natural, never denying the laws of nature. He further claimed that the powers he used to effect such deeds were available to every one of us. He offered us a simple formula
“Everything that you shall ask my Father in my name,
he shall give to you.”
Let us attempt to translate this into modern language, into modern idiom:
"When you direct your thoughts at the Omnipresent Creative Energy
that is Individualized within you,
this Energy will manifest your desires."
Or to put it even more explicitly, Albert Einstein assured us that:
"Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it.
Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way.
This is not philosophy. This is physics".

Regrettably, even if Yeshûa lived today, the vast majority of people would not understand such words. Only the Few would. And, just as regrettably, even today the dictum that "Many are called but only a Few are chosen" applies. As for the masses, who ignore "the call" (the silent voice within), will likely remain ignorant. After all we, and we alone, decide to be chosen.
The fact remains that the power to metamorphose the frequency of all energies is inherent within everyone of us. While the Energy of the Omnipresent Consciousness exhibits the highest frequencies, the energies generated by our brain are little more than artificial intelligence of much lower rate of frequencies.
They can, however, add to the diversity of our reality.
John of Patmos suggests that our brain can also generate energies of uncontrolled emotions (the red horse); create a reality of materialism (the black horse, leading to famine through overpopulation); and failing to recognize the true reality (the gray horse) which leads to death (erasure of energies created by our artificial intelligence).

Strangely enough, this knowledge began with Moses. Returning from Mount Sinai with the 10 Commandments he asked the "Burning Bush" (note the implied Energy):
"Whom shall I say that send me?"
"I AM" came the replay. "I AM has sent me to you."
Stating that I AM is the only power and it is within him.
The prophets agreed. They, and Yeshûa, also called us gods (capable of manipulating reality). The leaders of religions didn't agree; they called us sinners, which in the Greeks sport of archery means "missing the mark" (hamartia). But in religious interpretation, sins sent us to Hell (also invented by priesthood).
All of the above leads us to accept that the divine (creative) power is within us. Not in our Egos, but in our I AM, or as I prefer to call it, in our Higher Self, the individualized Creative Energy of Consciousness. Our mind is the instrument which Higher Self uses to create such illusions of reality as we desire.
Or as Einstein said, "It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics".
