The design of the Bible Wheel gives strong evidence for some type of supernatural connection and influence from another realm of reality. Whether one believes that a creator god such as the one portrayed in the Bible is responsible for the Bible Wheel’s design, or a Divine Consciousness composed of the sum of the whole body of thought (minds) that has ever existed is somehow responsible for influencing individuals throughout the course of human history…it matters not. What does matter though is the fact that this design does exist and human hands were instrumental in its formation…thus, creating a tool which can be used as a Mandala, through which meditation upon can help guild each individual on their own unique spiritual journey in this life.
A central idea that seems to have set the biblical writers apart from all others of that time period was the concept of a single “creator-god” who had always existed and was responsible for the creation of all that exists. This is by far the closet that anyone had come up to that point on having one united whole “Being” instead of many gods. If we then think of the “one god” as being the universal Divine Consciousness that began from the individual human consciousness when it reached its point of self awareness, and then continued to grow out of and was dependent on each individual. In much the same way as evolution builds upon itself, giving rise to greater development of intelligence and endurance; the same theory can be applied to the rise and development of the universal Collective Consciousness. As Self Consciousness emerged from human life and began to build upon itself creating and adding to a universal Divine Consciousness, this in turn created a feedback loop which added to the knowledge of the human, thus progressing forward which caused the universal Divine Consciousness to rise to a higher level completing a cycle of growth. This exemplifies the idea of the Triangular Principle which states that struggle which pulls backwards, causes a push forward, creating progress which results in growth, thus creating a triangular movement.
The stories and ideas contained in the Bible rose out of the archetypal unconscious “Self” as it emerged into the conscious mind, thus creating myths and fantasies to color and clothe those archetypal images of the collective unconscious. These primal images from the unconscious self can only be given form when they have become conscious, and thus become filled with the material from the conscious self. The way these archetypes are transformed depends on the state of consciousness of the individual in which the archetype has arisen, which is highly dependent on the cultural background of the individual. This explains why in the biblical narrative many of the qualities attributed to “God” are similar to the gods of the cultures of that time period.
The god of the Bible was formed out of the images contained in the collective unconscious and given shapes and attributes from the world around those ancient peoples. The patterns and designs of the Bible form what is like a Creation Template manifesting meta-level archetypes that seem to have formed from the influence of the Divine Consciousness that in a sense guided the hands of the biblical writers. This is not to say the primitive clothing hung upon these archetypes is an actual portrayal of “God”, but rather the intelligent structure that underlies the whole and forms the foundation is evidence of a higher level of consciousness.
Throughout history biblical readers have strove to understand who this god of the Bible “Yahweh” is and why his image changes so much throughout the course of Scripture. That problem is solved when one views the imagery of god displayed in the Bible as the clothing hung upon people’s concept of the divine. The garments of myth and fables merely manifest how ancient man viewed “God” in their primitive mindset, which continued to change with knowledge. The same is not true for the design manifest by the Bible Wheel, which underlies the cover of biblical garments…unveiling beauty and symmetries that endure unchanging through all ages.
