PROSPERITY AND THE LIGHT BODY: TV PREACHER JOEL OSTEEN SAYS ‘SOMETHING BIG IS COMING YOUR WAY’…AND I BELIEVE HIM, BUT FOR A DIFFERENT REASON.......
.......MONEY AND THE LIGHT BODY
Watching Osteen speak, it suddenly crystallized in my mind that there is a strange connection between symbolism of manifesting the light body and the symbolism of the dollar.
Here it is.
The Essene-Christians of the first century AD connected the crucified Jesus, and the attainment of the light body, to the Nehushtan, the fiery serpent lifted on a pole by Moses (Numbers 21:8). The raised serpent was a symbol of wisdom, or gnosis, as well as the Divine Manifesting Power. Lifting the serpent is also a reference to raising the kundlani laying coiled at the base of our spine. When this spiritual energy flows freely upward along the spine or stairway to heaven it leads to expanded consciousness.
When Moses lifted the Nehushtan it brought healing to the Israelites and also the manifestation of super angels called Seraphim, who are known as the fiery serpents. These are the highest order of angels, advanced celestial beings, who manifest on earth as luminous, humanoid figures with spinning or vortex-shaped bodies. The Essene-Christians believed humans could transform into Seraphim......

.......John the Beloved (or John the Essene) directly connected the Nehushtan to Jesus, and to our ascension, when he wrote:
“No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven (on) the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life” (John 3:14).
Wow! That is powerful.
John is clearly telling us to understand that the secret meaning of the serpent on a pole symbolism has to do with the secret of eternal life and ascension. More, it is about transforming us into angels or beings of light like the Seraphim, as ‘lifting the serpent’ means to transform into a Seraph.
The serpent on a pole or rod is, of course, the caduceus of Hermes, the staff of enlightenment, from or around which ribbons or a snake or snakes curl. Numerous authors make the connection not only between Moses and Hermes, but also Jesus and Hermes. It is no wonder their symbols are interconnected.
THE LIFTED SERPENT AND THE MAGIC OF MONEY
In 1797, the serpent on a pole symbol was adopted by the U.S. Government and became the dollar sign, $, the symbol for the almighty U.S. Dollar, a unit of currency. Some clever person, or persons, in Philadelphia, the capital of the newly formed United States of America, decided to use a supernatural symbol for a supernatural concept as a symbol for a new supernatural concept: the creation of printed money. This symbol, $, is known world wide. Everywhere it is found it denotes “prosperity” or “money”. Most don’t know the magic behind money or the origins or esoteric meaning of its symbolism.
The word ‘dollar’ comes from the German thaler. As shown here, in the sixteenth century, thalers featured a Nehushtan on one side and the crucified Christ on the other. The message is they represent the same thing: the secret of eternal life.

......Unfortunately, rather than standing for the flowing of spiritual current and the transformation of humans into angels, or truth-speaking, peace-walking beings with expanded consciousness and open hearts, the $ symbol became the global symbol for money and flowing cash.
Money flows, but the magi know, it does not actually exist. It is manifested out of thin air by bankers and symbolized by fiat currency or paper money. We all agree, or have faith, that the paper stands for something real, but it isn’t. This is the magic or supernatural power of money. We trust that the inventors of money will continue to give us credit (and they will as long as we, wink, wink, go along with their magic). Many people will do just about anything to accumulate money.
In Goethe’s classic German legend, Faust, the Devil (Mephistopheles) and the scholarly Faust are purveyors of the secret of alchemy: how to create astounding wealth by printing money. Faust makes a deal with the Devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures.
Timothy must have been tempted by the same Faustian deal when he said:
“Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
Timothy’s advice is Buddhist. The righteousness he implores us to pursue is a condition of the heart and mind. Living righteously, we are rewarded with the Robe of Righteousness. This is the light body of Christ.
Timothy is clearly urging us not to take the Devil’s pact, but instead to pursue our angelic or Christ bodies for righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness are all qualities of the Seraphim angels.
So, plain and simple, our choice is either to spend our precious time on this fragile earth chasing money, and filling our purse with something that does not exist, or we can pursue our angelic light body. One path leads to destruction. The other leads to freedom.
This makes it kind of ironic that a Christian preacher has made a massive fortune offering tools to attract money.
I don’t mind, because the tools he offers can be applied in all areas of life.
More, I think money is good and can be used for godly purposes.
Before getting into Joel Osteen’s ancient technique for manifesting prosperity, I want to share Jesus’s words on money. As we will see, he presents the explicit choice between chasing money and the Robe of Righteousness.
