The Degradation of Women in the Bible

If you have ever read the Bible, especially the Old Testament, you are well-versed in how women are viewed in antiquity.  Poor Eve takes much of this blame unnecessarily.  She really just stands for the emotional-nature united to the mental-nature or mind, which is Adam, that’s it.  She was never naked and having a conversation with a talking snake, and she never ate a piece of fruit from a forbidden tree.

If people just took the time to understand mysticism, mythology, the symbolism of the words and how much that symbolism completely alters the meaning of the text, we would have never reduced women to a lower status.  Because of religious texts and the misrepresentation and lack of understanding thereof, women today still struggle to find their footing in a male-dominated world.

Well, today let’s set the record straight on what the words really mean and how it changes the meaning of the text.

Okay, to start with let’s take a look at some quotes that come directly from the Bible:













But the list cannot be complete until we quote the early founding fathers of the church like Tertullian, a well-respected Catholic theologian:


And John Calvin, a leader of the Protestant Reformation:


These early church fathers never understood these ancient writings because they were reading and interpreting them literally when even the Bible itself tells you not to do so:

2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV)


In other words, when you interpret scripture literally “of the letter” it kills, leads you astray, but when you interpret it spiritually “of the spirit” it gives life.  It was purposefully written that way to keep the mystery secret to those that were “outside” of themselves, hence outside of the mystery or true meaning of the text.

These texts need to be spiritually discerned as you see in the following passage:

1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV)


Okay, now for the keys to properly understand what is really being said.

The word “husband” means: “higher mind,” and the word “wife” means: “emotions.”  If you use a guide like Gaskell’s Dictionary of Scripture and Myth, these texts come to life in new and amazing ways that show you that they are really about you and teach you how to elevate your consciousness to a higher level to obtain a deeper understanding of yourself. 

So the emotional nature in all of us must submit to the higher mind within all of us.  This is all the inner psychological workings of the human mind at play here.  It has nothing at all to do with a woman submitting to a man, bibles, church, salvation or anything else.  Nothing.  It has been misunderstood for over 1,500 years and look at the destruction it has brought on women.

You too can become a member of the ancient mystery schools of old when you understand the symbology interwoven in these texts and be inside of the mystery where so few of us care to tread these days. The kingdom truly is within you. 

But that place within most people is barren, just like Sarah, Abraham’s wife in the Old Testament, of which this story is an allegory because Galatians 4-24 tells you it is.  But she gave birth by spiritual means to something called the “child of promise” that can be birthed within us all when we search for the kingdom inside us, just like Luke 17-21 tells you.

Luke 17:21 (KJV)


So many of the ancient texts are trying to tell you that you are already divine, that there is a spark of God within you.  And the way to find that spark is to meditate, because when you understand the hidden meaning behind the words and apply that to religious texts you soon see the overwhelming connection to meditation and the kingdom within.

Share this with someone today that may be struggling with a literal interpretation and the chaos that it brings.  If I was able to free my mind after identifying as a Southern Baptist, Pentecostal and eventual Catholic, so can you.
