A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible [Hardcover]

Book Description

Publication Date: August 31, 2006

What a wonderful adventure! Imagine you were born in a vast, dimly lit cave, where everything, including the people, appears to be a dull gray. All you can see are shadows and darkness. As you grow up, you find that your life is strongly regulated by the "Book of Rules", an ancient edict that controls even your most secret thoughts. You also learn that, somewhere in the cave, there is a crack in its walls that emanates a strange light. It is a forbidden place, guarded by ferocious animals, so that no one can truly inspect this anomaly. Later in life, your curiosity and your silent wish for a better environment finally throw you into action. Somehow, you manage to get past the vicious guards, and to avoid death, you dive headlong into the strange brightness. When your eyes finally adjust, you discover a new world, full of colors, sounds and fragrances, and you vow never to return to darkness. That, dear reader, is in essence what this book did for me. I will not offer disparaging words about the religion into which I was born and raised, but I will praise the effects of Eastern philosophy and the wisdom of metaphysics. As you will read for yourselves, these two belief systems have extracted the unmitigated divine Truth from the metaphors found in the greatest book ever published. Having lived most of my adult life in the shadows of conditioned dogmas, I found at last that doorway in the cave's wall. I discovered the beauty of God's nature and the passive gullibility of humankind. Last but not least, I received the long awaited explanation to the unanswered questions that troubled my formative years. Thus, it is in all sincerity that I highly recommend the reading of this remarkable book. Hopefully, it will reach your mind, your heart and your soul. My six years as editor for Dr. Hairfield's works have been filled with spiritual peace and enlightenment. May the contents of this book transport you to the same level.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best written Metaphysical instruction book written, May 18, 2007

This review is from: A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible (Hardcover)

I purchased this book as a refference book, however, when I began to read the information contained within this work I couldn't put it down. Most Metaphysical books present information that we have all heard before, or someone else's idea of how we should think. This beautiful work, brings us with intelligent understandings of an often misinterpreted book (the bible), and offers practical and easily understood methods of application in eliminating our own stumbling blocks. We often hear speakers talk about "getting out of our own way" in reguards to acheiving the life that we desire. Finally, someone isn't merely telling their audience that this is what they need to do. But actually explaining in understandable language as to how. This book would serve as an ideal basic text book for classes teaching Metaphysics.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's About Time!, June 4, 2007

This review is from: A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible (Hardcover)

From 20-20 hindsight, I now realize why my life experience and personal choices for metaphysical instruction have led me to read the earlier works by Steven Hairfield, so I may be prepared for his monumental work, A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible. Weighing over two pounds, it is worth its weight in gold!

Sure, I've come to understand Bible history from prior class instruction; however, no instructor in my life has explained its fascinating history as fully and from such meticulous research as has Steven Hairfield. Sure, I have known of Jesus' "lost years" in the Bible through the research provided by several obscure authors; however, I became totally enthralled by Steven Hairfield's inner urge to understand those "lost years" through personal experience. Sure, I have been a member of Christian-based organizations, volunteering my services and attending Bible Study classes and retreats; however, none have provided me an understanding of WHO I am and my association with the Creator that made any sense to me until I digested, in my own terms, the unifying Principle of Unconditional Love & Inseparableness, revealed so prevalently throughout the Bible, as Steven Hairfield explained the Bible's symbology and allegory through metaphysical interpretation.

Am I the only individual who feels that something is about to happen? Am I the only one who enjoys both radio and television series which reveal the "other side," portraying the myriad of ways to which we relate, however entertaining those ways are expressed or shown, respectively? After reading Steven Hairfield's interpretation on the Book of Revelation, I am deeply calmed and at peace, for all the pieces have been foretold and each is coming together. Not for the world's end mind you; rather, for our next step to a glorious beginning - if we so choose it.

I am deeply grateful and sincerely acknowledge, all the time, effort and life choices through which Steven Hairfield had to experience in order to get this book out to the general populace. I now understand WHO I am and my purpose of being, thanks to this gentle, forthright soul. Thank you Steven!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one "Aha" moment after the other - very good!, April 26, 2007

This review is from: A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible (Hardcover)

How many numerous times have I earnestly tried to read the bible? I cannot tell you there have been so many. I also could not tell you WHAT it all meant, what with language differentiations and 1600 years of dilution. This work by Steven Hairfield has enlightened me, educated me, inspired me, and most of all...Instilled a feeling that there is hope for humankind afterall. Most folks missed the true meanings in our traditional bibles and have been wandering aimlessly in consumer bliss (ick!) ever since. Is this what Jesus or God wanted? _ _ _ _ No! Thank you Steven for setting me back on path...I finally think I understand how to trek the rest of my journey this lifetime!
