SCIENCE OF THE PAST

I first published my collection of short exegeses of ancient knowledge hidden in various parts of the Torah in early 2020. The prophets didn't have the terminology to express the knowledge of the day in what we might call "scientific" language. In their day, physics and metaphysics combined to record the truth, as it was known in their day. 
    These truths, strangely enough, were often more advanced that those defined by our present-day scientists, who seem to deal exclusively with what was, and not with what could be. To the ancient prophets time held a different meaning than it does today. They has been closer to equating time with the Eternal Now, wherein the Cause was eternal, and only the Result was not only the present, future and therefore passive, if not illusive. 
    Only recently Albert Einstein defined the Phenomenal Realty as being transient if not actually illusory, rather as our dreams are.

Hence, it seems to be high time to stop regarding the Bible as a religious document and accept it a source of knowledge that is preserved under the veil of symbolism to protect it from the "unholy" eyes. Then, as now, scientific secrets had been exploited and abused the religious factions, (mostly the pharisees), for personal gain, seldom if ever with any  understanding what they were doing. They obscured the ancient knowledge with another veil, this time a veil of religion, converting it into dogmatic scriptures, often to instill obedience from their simpleminded followers. 
    Not much has changed.

    Now, that we enter the Age of Aquarius, all knowledge will be made accessible to all people willing and able to dig deeper below the surface of old superstitions. The purpose of all knowledge is to discover the Causes that lead to Results, which diversify and enhance the Phenomenal Universe. 
    The rest, as Einstein would say, are details.
  To aid you in this endeavor I compiled a DICTIONARY OF BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM, which will enable you to reach your own conclusions regarding the original intent of the scriptures.

It seems that we should never forget that while all "things" in our reality are transient, we, the co-creators of it, can aspire to immortality commensurate with our contribution of the beauty and complexity of our reality. Its transiency is of no consequence because at the essence of reality we all enjoy our becoming in hte Eternal Now. Our scientists are on the verge of discovering this in their own way. The Quantum Theory is the first step towards understanding our nature.
 
    If you'll allow me, I'd like to share with  you (some of you may have read it already)  a little poem I wrote for my wife's birthday some years ago, which defines my vision of reality:  

STEERING MY SHIP 
 
I often looked down, into the murky past,
Ever forgetting that only in eternal Now
I could build a future that is equally vast,
Steering my ship, standing at the prow.

Yet there is no beginning, for those who have no end,
No matter how meandering our lasting cruise.
For countless errors, we have time to mend
No matter which direction we decide to choose.
 
Hence this is the meaning of our immortality:
That no matter how ignorant, no matter how shoddy,
We remain still and timeless, in every modality,
As Consciousness is our soul, the Universe our body.

As for my attempts of explaining a few of ancient verses, below a few excerpts from some reviewers. See if you agree... (If you need more justifications, you'll find it in my book CONCLUSIONS-Pragmatic Reality.

 "...I know that he is a brilliant author who has written around 50 amazing fiction and nonfiction books... ...He interprets Psalm 23 in a way I have never come across before. To me, this was a deeply thought-provoking and satisfying experience."

5-star review by Fred Schaefer, Author

"...Stanislaw Kapuscinski is a prolific author and the master of the mystical. His interpretations of ancient and biblical texts can leave one breathless in their spiritual scale and poetic grandeur...."
5-star review by Kate Jones, Editor
 
"...This should be read barefooted on the shores of Galilee. Just to remember what is already present, and uncover it below the sand of seeming 'reality'. Like a pearl smoothed by tides and what is called time."
