Bible Study Tools - How to Gain FULL Access to your Faith

I believe that we have a power beyond comprehension that lay mostly untapped -for now. I believe that more and more man is accessing this incredible power that is just sitting there waiting for us to find it.

It's like gravity- It was always there regardless of if we believed in it or not, comprehended it or not and so on.. But when we opened our awareness to its power, its force, its impact on our lives, we learned how to co-exist with it and even use it as a resource in our lives.

Learning the bible is this powerful, actually much more powerful. We just need the tools of comprehension and awareness of how to read it- For ourselves, and only then can we as a a collective (all of life) synergize and KNOW God.

To many God is this entity in the sky or in another demension unpercievable to us physically, but to me he may be this and more. I believe God is pure untainted and powerful, Love, in its every possible form.

He's not just a being but a movement to illumination of the soul. The driving force of life, simultaneousely the ruler and a part of everything. Knowing God is more than meeting our maker. Its meeting our true nature in every respect! We are as important to God as he is to us.

Many tools have been given us that allow us to reach this illumination and heightened awareness of our world, our life, and the comprehensive roadmap to happiness.

One such tool that trumps all others is the Bible, known as the words of God. The world is a highly complex place and the key to navigating the terrain of our world both consciously and subconsciously, physically, and mentally, Mind, body, and spirit lay in our ability to perceive the world through our own mind, not just based on others perceptions.

We all have a unique and special gift of perception that is unlike anyone else's. We all offer one another the fruit of expression of that view much like a movie shows the world what the writer or director sees in the story line. I believe it is our uniqueness that is a major cog in the machine of building awareness in each other synergistically.

When people simply drone out and learn without trying to understand it they are robbing the world and themselves of growth. This is not to say you cannot believe something just on faith. I'm not saying that at all.

I'm simply saying that we should try to understand how others came to their conclusions and then come to our own. We may conclude to adopt their beliefs but not because as many churches say blindly "we just should" but more so because we have studied it, and understand why we chose to come to that conclusion.

What I'm saying in a nutshell is think for yourself, choose for your self, and understand why you make the choices you make and why you believe what you believe.

When you do that you open your mind to learning, but you also protect your mind from just absorbing everything that sounds good and believing it blindly, which is how many forces unscrupulously control others.

Part of the reason it's so confusing to understand the bible for many is that they've "heard" "read" or "seen" several interpretations of the same things and somehow absorbed all of them in some way without judgment and now have no idea which one is true, because they all make sense internally. The mind considers something "feasible" or "true" when it checks what you see against what has been stored in the subconscious.

When their are several options in the subconscious they all "feel" true, but you neglected to filter it or understand it as it came in thus you don't know which one works for you. Their are many ways to believe the same thing and all can be feasible, even if they contradict another's "perceptions" of it.

We all see life in a completely unique way, and although we may relate to one another through understanding others point of view, ultimately we have to step out of their perceptions and formulate how they came to them for ourselves so that we can not just live our life but comprehend it as well, thus moving our soul closer to illumination- closer to Love- Closer to GOD.

The best preachers I've ever seen/heard never forced their faith upon you, even in their own church. They gave you their interpretation of the bible, the stories and even translated the meanings into some of their own personal experiences to the congregation, but ultimately they told you that you must come to your own conclusions as to what it means to you.

The stories in the bible although literal events, are designed as metaphors for the laws of life if you are to reach happiness. The problem is the interpretations in the bible are written from a time 2,000 years before our time and in a whole different type of existence, including how the bible's dialect is written.

This is confusing until you learn to speak the bibles language. This doesn't mean you have to learn to speak the language but you need to wrap your head around the dialect somewhat.

The thing about learning and studying the bible or "Book of life" nowadays is that their are an enormous amount of resources, tools, and even software programs that will help you in every regard.

From learning what certain words in the bible you don't know are, to how things are worded and what they mean, to perspective of the storyteller. At the end of this hub is a website link that will take you by the hand and show you some incredible things that will help you sync up so you can comprehend the bible in the way God meant you to.

This book will, once you truly understand it, become an amazingly magical experience.. The answers to all life's problems, the path to all of life's joys, and prosperities are in this book. You just have to be able to decode it!

We are not supposed to merely learn verbatim how others see the world, the bible interpretations, or anything else, including what true happiness is. The meaning of life is a conglomerate of being able to accept others views as resources to use in tuning your own perceptions and understanding life through your own eyes.

As we learn about life we teach others, not to give them a drone like existence of our lessons, taking them at face value, but more so as a nudge in the right direction to figuring out our world.

This is a complicated interpretation of how we must live our lives and how the bible must be learned and used to find happiness, give service to man kind, and to grow spiritually for the benefit of all that is, was, and ever will be.

Reading the bible for many is difficult, not out of disinterest but because they need some prerequisite help comprehending what their reading...

You wouldn't try to learn Algebra or Trigonometry without first learning how to do basic math would you? Then why would you expect to take something as comprehensive and complete as the bible, something with all of life's answers condensed into an amazing "guide", and "just" read it?

You need to understand a bunch of things before you dive in. Just following along in church will not do you much good unless the preacher discusses the verses, which is the point of going to church. But even then you're humbly bowing to the preachers' opinion of what it means.

Like Doctors preachers go to school and have years of experience in the study and growth of their "practice", however their opinion is still based on their own understanding of the "word".

Just because a doctor tells you, you have no chance for survival and are going to die in six months, this is not a fact.

This is an educated guess and it is based on his lack of faith otherwise. I've heard of many people doctors told would die whom have survived because they didn't just take the doctors word as fact.

They did some thinking on their own and got other professional opinions, weighed the "facts" and some even studied their condition- made their own diagnosis. This is the same way you should read the bible.

Use your resources, listen to several points of view, even attend church and ask questions, get others opinions- But come to your own conclusions based on your own research and interpretations.

Many who just listen to the doctors words have died not because the doctor was right, although he had the best of intensions, but because they took his dismal outlook as fact and simply gave up.

I believe one should attend church and follow along, listen to the masters of the bible study methods and interpretations.

We are all born and raised within our parents paradigms of life, their interpretation if you will, listening to and adopting our parents beliefs and experience of life.

It is necessary at first to do this until we learn how to think for ourselves and regurgitate the data of our entire experience in life as an adult through the filters and lenses of our own unique morphed understandings and honed awareness.

Although we hold onto a lot of our parents views of life we eventually no longer just blindly live them, we want to figure out how they came to these conclusions, and we make a conscious choice at one point to accept and integrate what we believe and understand, and to purge the rest, allowing our parents to continue to believe what they will but living our own existence on our own relative to our comprehension and awareness of our world.

My point is that although you've grown up with everyone from your parents to your church leaders telling you what you have to believe and what is "fact" and that was fine back then but as you grow older it is your responsibility to start understanding why you believe the things you do and to start filtering out things that no longer apply or make sense.

This will give you a solid foundation to work from, as you use your resources to learn how to interpret the bible, to understand it, you will simultaneously empower yourself to accept your own understandings of those stories, both from what you've always been taught and from your comprehension of the world you live in now. Building a strong self awareness is important because it will help you to make sense of the Bibles teachings more lucidly.

The Bible has proven itself again and again as it's lessons unfold answering again and again the question "What is the meaning of life", but more often than not we are taking someone else's interpretation of the bibles lessons for granted instead of learning on our own what it is we believe.

In the movie "The Matrix" Morpheus said ".. Unfortunately, No one can be "told" what the matrix is.. You have to see it for yourself..."

This was a metaphor for life actually and basically means that although everyone can explain to you all about life and what is going on around you, but you have to on your own, make sense of it all.. You weight the information and make informed decisions.

When it comes to studying the Bible you're not just reading about experiences some people had thousands of years ago, your studying life and the path to illumination, happiness, and fulfillment. You're also learning how to be of service to man kind, and how to live on purpose, for a purpose.
