The last character in holy scriptural accounts to whom god allegedly appeared visibly was to Solomon. There is a reason for this, and it is traceable to earlier Pagan scientific knowledge. In the development of energy into the stage of visible matter, the first visible phenomenon of that activity is a focused point of light. And that concentrated light shines as a transformation marker in the development of dense matter, and ancient Pagan teachings referred to that in-between stage as etheric matter, which they symbolized with the Sun.
So significant is the energy change out of the etheric matter stage that a whole book is dedicated to it in the Hebrew Bible. It is the Old Testament book known as the Song of Solomon, which tends to embarrass the “experts” on religious meanings. What these “songs” were drawn upon were in regard to creation activity where what they referred to as etheric matter figuratively becomes enamored with the potentiality of dense matter. The “songs” attributed to Solomon were fashioned on lyrics that came down in oral tradition long before priests in Jerusalem gathered them into canonical form. Despite all their vivid imagery, however, the lyrics really have nothing to do with physical sexual excitement, so the “experts” can breathe a sigh of relief.
The mythic character of Solomon personifies that etheric nature of the Sun which radiates and rules over the life force active in the dimension of energy-as-matter. Allegorically, Solomon therefore is depicted as lord or king over the dense matter dimension of energy. The Sun, being visible but not developed as a dense matter object, is a logical marker of energy poised between prototype matter and defined matter. Once the scientific basis of Pagan symbolism is understood—that Solomon represents the solar power—all the claims presented for the character become clarified.
In regard to Solomon being the last character in holy scripture to allegedly see the Creator visibly, the ancient Pagan teachings should be consulted. When the development of energy into dense matter form is achieved, the primal stages of development of that energy cease to be seen from that advanced form. Figuratively, the Sun, as first stage of visible matter therefore may “see” that primal creative energy which is personified as the creator-god. For this reason the scriptures record no more personal appearances of the deity to be seen by any of the subsequent scriptural characters. All the succeeding characters that merit storytelling gain their “divine” insight only through visions and dreams, not from any direct encounter with the deity.
It must be remembered that the books 1 and 2 Kings, in which Solomon is featured, were written centuries after the purported events. The author was most likely Baruch ben Nerian, the scribe of the”prophet” Jeremiah. The name Solomon was derived from the Roman word Sol, i.e.the Sun; and Om (or Aum) from the Hindu mantra characterizing supreme power; and On, the Chaldean/Egyptian address to the Sun. (Yes, the priests of Yahweh in Jerusalem were aware of Hindu belief.) As the representative of the Sun which rules over the solar family, it becomes obvious why Solomon was characterized as having unparalleled wisdom, for light has alway symbolized wisdom. And knowing that Solomon is representative of the Sun, the enormous wealth that he allegedly possessed has rationality. The legendary “mines” from which he is alleged to have drawn his wealth is the Sun itself.
Past generations have been more cognizant of the fact that biblical tales often hold great importance on numbers. Indeed, numbers served as symbols that, in themselves, tell the initiates a far different story than they do to those who take each tale at face value. Authors of scriptural tales often played with these numbers, disguising them within myths. The Hebrew word yod, for example, is the number six, and it signified god at the sixth dimension (“day”) of Creation. When yod was repeated three times it was a (magical) devotional address to god. That numerical code is found in the myth of Solomon in the allegation that his gold mines yielded “…six hundred threescore and six talents of gold” per year (1 Kings 10:14). Thus the gold value disguised 6+6+6, or yod repeated three times. The Hebrew-Judaic regard for the devotional three-time recitation of yod was therefore inverted by the Christian authors and cast into Beast 666 in the jumbled book of Revelation. Such is the spiritual value of “revealed word.”
Clues to the occult meaning of the character of the scriptural Solomon are hidden in hints such as the name given for Solomon’s mother: Bathsheba. And there is the story feature that the Queen of Sheba is said to have come to Solomon for his blessing. The word sheba means “seven,” and in ancient Pagan teachings the seventh plane of energy development is the achievement of visible matter (symbolized with the Sun), which heralds energy involvement as dense matter.
When the more ancient (and scientifically based) Pagan symbolism is consulted, it becomes clear why—in spite of all the claims made of Solomon’s wealth and world recognition—he was never mentioned in any records of any of the nations that supposedly interacted with him. All the deeds and eccentricities of Solomon are to be found only in Hebrew scriptural myth.
There is a curious feature in scriptural storytelling lineup, which is that in the timeframes after the unverifiable Solomon no one, not even the “prophets,” ever encountered so much as an angel, let alone receive “revelations’ directly from a visible deity. The closest that any “prophet” ever came to seeing even an angel was the minor “prophet” Zechariah, and he saw that angel only in a vision.
The belief in angels is also traceable to Pagan wisdom also. The ancient lesson on Creation taught of available units of creative energy which are drawn upon by all matter-forms from the non-manifest conditions of Source. Creative energies necessarily accompany and sustain every faction of matter-life; thus everyone and every thing can figuratively be said to have their “guardian angels.” They do, however, have the annoying habit of remaining invisible.
