Sex
and drugs in the bible as in the allegory story of Rachael, Jacob and
Leah
It's
one of the wildest stories in the Bible, and yet it gives us a
tremendous understanding of what is necessary if we are to find the
place of all creation within ourselves. In Genesis, so the story
goes, Rachel, who is to give birth to Joseph (of the Coat of Many
Colors), makes a deal with a young lady named Leah. Leah has some
mandrakes which are plants with narcotic properties. For us it's
similar to marijuana. Rachel makes a deal with Leah. You give me the
mandrakes, (drugs) and in return I'll let you sleep with my husband
Jacob, tonight. In Genesis 30:16, Jacob is in the field ,and Leah
comes along and informs him that he must sleep with her tonight
because she gave Rachel drugs in exchange for his services.
Quite
a story isn't it, especially when you consider that these are God's
chosen people and the foundation of our religious heritage. But
really, what's it all about? This is mythology. We have to look at
what the mythology is telling us. Rachel represents that part of our
psyche that we refer to as the spiritual side, the right hemisphere
of the brain. It is barren. That means it is not penetrated by the
carnal aspects of the left hemisphere. Carnal thought does not
originate there, so it is barren or virgin. In this particular myth,
the story has her sending her husband away and going higher alone.
That simply means, we go into meditation, raise our consciousness and
cut ourselves off from the thoughts of the left side, or carnal mind.
Don't think of the characters in this story as people, think of them
as parts of our conscious being. That's how mythology works. The
people that wrote this story are trying to point out two things.
1. You have to raise consciousness. Whoever wrote this obviously felt that the best way to describe this mystically is with mandrakes which are a narcotic plant like marijuana. In order to play the story out, the person who represents the spiritual side has to be lifted up. Or as we would say, has to get high.
She has to get high alone, so she can not be having intercourse with the physical side represented by Jacob. She has to get high alone. Keep in mind, no one is saying to take drugs. The writers are trying to create a myth around the spirit within us, being raised up as we are alone and separating from thought on the carnal left side. So Rachel represents the human spirit, the right side. Mandrakes represent raising the human spirit to the point of ecstasy. The husband Jacob represents the physical left side that we intercourse with daily in the thought process. The spirit separates from the physical left side, (Jacob) so it can intercourse only with the higher light, God. The mandrakes simply represent that which lifts us higher.
2. The story which is obvious allegory, is saying that if we allow our spirit to be raised, (get high), and soar to higher realms of light, instead of allowing our emotions to carry us, then we will in turn, experience an intercourse of consciousness with the father of the twelve. It is our inner light, Rachel, and not our emotions which must be energized and filled with the vibration of' inner photon energy, and when that happens, we will begin to have a complete understanding of our nature, our total purpose, and the meaning of the various aspects of our nature, (Jacob and the 12 signs). We will intercourse with the father of the 12, the photon father of light and the child of promise will be born.
