THE BALM OF GILEAD

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?
why than is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Jeremiah 8:
22
 


the teachings

1960-1974; 1975-1994; 1998-2005

The foundation for these teachings was layed over a period of 14 years between 1960 and 1974 by a man of Spirit.
In 1975, at the age of twenty-three I met this man and began a 19 year-long study in order to learn these teachings. They are the result of divine inspiration and intense study, an important part of which was the painstaking task of taking many of the words of
the Old Testament back to their Hebrew root, where the life is.

These teachings were pure in their truth, coming through a mind that was free of preconceived ideas with respect to God's word, out of a heart void not only of religious beliefs, but of the emotional pain that is oftentimes associated with these man-made doctrines of religion. There was no mental or emotional filter to distort this foundation of pure knowledge.

"Tread out the understanding."
These are the words this man of God spoke to me prior to his death in October of 1994.

In March of 1997 I was moved with great force... up out of a spiritual stagnation that lasted two and half years, and into what might best  be described as a tearing down process that lasted thirty one days, April 1st 1997 marking a new beginning. In the darkness created by the elimination of the light of my own understanding the holy spirit of my heart, now void of all misconceptions I had with regard to these teachings, was free to bring me into a deeper spiritual understanding of the Biblical text.

In the fall of 1998, after reading a book called "The Bible Code" I awoke to these words:

" atomic holocaust. 2006. You know the answer to that. You know the answer."

This led to a question and answer session that lasted 3 months. Whatever question I asked before going to sleep would be answered the next morning, at precisely 3AM. What I received was a revelation of the symbolic code of the Bible, which reveals spiritual events, as the mathematical code of the Bible reveals physical events. It would be a revelation that would take seven years to come to fruition, the context of which is contained in both THE BIBLE DECODED and THE LITTLE BOOK for the soul.

These teachings, spanning 40 years, are unique in that they are not derived from any teachings that have come before. They originated from that internal source that exists within us all; that internal anointing that flows freely through a mind that has been silenced of all preconceived ideas with respect to the word of God, via a heart that has been made void of all false religious beliefs.

 

the name

The name "Gilead" (selected for the Publishing Company the author established in 1999 to publish the works that were to follow) was chosen in recognition of this man of God, who received this name along with 33 years of foundational teachings.

The word Gilead means heap of testimony, heap of dung, heap of stones.

For some these teachings will be a heap of testimony, a witness to what they already understand from within their own heart to be true.   For some they will be a heap of dung, conflicting with what they have been taught through the man-made doctrines of religion. And for others still they will be the means by which they pass over into a new way of life, 12 stones or steps that lead us from bondage to freedom!

 

the dream

the author's very powerful dream from 12/21/98:

I was in a house. There was a man in the house. I knew he was some sort of scholar. Next I was in another room in the house. Something was going on in there. Something like watching TV or playing games, but whatever it was it was not important. The man came in and motioned me to come into the main room… the living room. The scholar had heard two clues. He told them to me. The second clue was: "look behind you." The man was at the front door (the door was open) when he heard this second clue. He was facing me, so he turned around to look behind him. He saw nothing. I immediately went over to a large picture glass window next to the door and looked out. There I saw men, standing in a line, across. I knew I was the only one that could see them. I started to count them. I counted them from right to left. As I began to count them some of them were moving. They were putting themselves in the correct order, so in the beginning it was a little difficult to count them, but as I got further down the line it was easier because they were all in their places. I counted 18 or 19. They faded away, down to the last one who signaled me over to the house across the street. I went over to the scholar who was sitting in a chair. I said to him, "I hope you can write like hell " because I knew we were going to get a lot of information. The scholar and I then went into the other room to get this third person. I signaled to her to come on. The scholar signals to her to come on. She stays behind. At this point it is as if the scholar and I are one. The two of us go over. We walk up to the house and enter. The person I'm with sits down in a chair. I pass by an animal that is sleeping on the floor. After passing him I proceed to sit on the floor. It is carpeted with white shag-like carpet, and there is a golden glow in the room like a fireplace would reflect. I set down in front of me a white pearl-like jar. It contains balm. I look up at an old lady with white hair. She says to me:

"Mystery of mysteries. Give her the keys to open these mysteries."

When I awoke from the dream I asked, "what do the 18 or 19 men represent?" I hear, "count the prophets."
