In the latest episode of The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable, we delve into the intriguing parallels between natural phenomena and ancient texts. The episode explores the unexpected change in the path of Hurricane Beryl, which was predicted to hit Corpus Christi, Texas, but instead made landfall in Matagorda. The significance of these names is not lost on us, as Beryl is a gemstone related to the emerald, and Corpus Christi translates to the body of Christ, while Matagorda intriguingly means 'fat kill'.
These terms draw us into a deeper discussion, referencing the Bible where the book of Daniel describes a figure with a body like beryl, believed by many to be a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. Furthermore, the episode connects these biblical references to the foundations of the New Jerusalem, as described in Revelation 21, where emerald is a foundational stone, and a rainbow resembling an emerald encircles the throne in heaven.
The conversation doesn't stop there; we also examine the iconic Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum, a known theosophist. The symbols of the rainbow and emerald, often thought to represent Wall Street and bankers, are reinterpreted through the lens of heavenly descriptions found in Revelation 21. The characters of the scarecrow, tin man, and lion are discussed as symbols of the vegetable, mineral, and animal bodies, respectively.
This episode is not just a biblical or literary analysis; it's a journey through various cultures, from Hinduism to Chinese magic, to Islam, all of which have their own unique references to the emerald. Join us as we uncover the secret teachings that connect natural events, ancient scriptures, and cultural symbols.
