You are Job (The Series, Part IV)
“The Journey to Self Realization”
Job – the central figure in the Job mysteries carries a metaphysical meaning which represents man’s transliteration from “self-righteousness” to “Divine Righteousness”. In the man-made egotistic state of self-righteousness, man portrays himself, outwardly, as a genuine figure of “Uprightness.”
However, within the deeper regions of man’s heart are fears, impure thoughts, apparent failings and shortcomings.
Often times, man has impressed within his heart his high esteem and ideals of grandiose attainment. This advanced level of self indulgence only appears real within the world of Illusion called Maya. However, the true test of heart demands that Job prevail and seek entrance into the innermost consciousness of “Self Realization” and the inner kingdom of “Christ Consciousness”.
Job, with all of his wealth and self appointed spiritual grandeur, required trial to help him re-evaluate his personal consciousness and to accept responsibility for his complacent behaviors. Many times, Men grow comfortable with their position, or role, and fail to attain the higher states within themselves as they begin to “Seal” themselves in a spiritual comfort zone.
Just as the inner heart knows how attuned one is to the Cosmic Law that governs all, it is inevitable for one to experience psycho-spiritual hardship prior to claiming a definite position within the kingdom of Eternal Being. As described in the allegorical story of Job, he appeared to have truly loved “God”; his fear of the unreal (physical suffering), however, had to be relinquished and neutralized for further entrance into the mysteries of higher realms of consciousness. The immortal and ever-present being of his spirit self had to surface for the sake of advancement and upward progression. The theme of this series urges the current Job to continue on the path of self attainment and to not give way to the false man-made egotistic ideals that are created by the deputy of illusion: the human brain.
