    About this ebook

    This amazing book contains a selected number of favorite passages taken from the Gospel of Mark, and provides a verse-by-verse Metaphysical interpretation of each one. Rev. Bil Holton, Ph.D. is a nationally-recognized metaphysician, known for his first-of-a-kind New Metaphysical Versions of the four Gospels. This book pulls favorites from the Gospel of Mark, and provides both a traditional rendition, along with the Metaphysical interpretation of each passage.

    Perfect for those who are spiritual more than religious, and are looking for a way to transcend the dogma of the traditional scriptures. This brings Jesus' teachings to life, and applies them in a practical way to everyday living.

    Mark Revisited: Favorite Scriptures of the Gospel of Mark With Their Metaphysical Interpretations
    Author

    Bil Holton

    As a student of metaphysics for over twenty years, Bil, believes Biblical scripture has a deeper spiritual meaning, which enriches the literal text and elevates it beyond its dogmatic and parochial limitations. Dr. Holton currently shares spiritual leadership responsibilities with his wife, Cher, in the growing Unity Spiritual Life Center they co-minister in Durham, North Carolina. He is in the Unity Minister's Field Licensing Program, a licensed Unity Teacher, and has been affiliated with the Unity spiritual education movement for thirty years. His spiritual mission is to lead, guide, and inspire people all over the world to live faithfully, lovingly, and wisely at the speed of their Christ Consciousness. While he has authored and co-authored over twenty books with Cher, Bil believes his metaphysical translations of the Gospels are his most fulfilling works to date. On a personal note, the Holtons like to push the envelop and maintain their zest for life by taking what they call "Indiana Jones Adventures," such as white-water rafting, sky diving, and fire walking. American-style ballroom dancing is also in their DNA. Although they have retired their competitive dance shoes, Bil and Cher love to perform ballroom showcases and exhibitions. They enjoy time with two sons, beautiful daughters-in-law, seven incredible grandchildren, and a great-grandson.

      Author’s Preface

      I have great reverence and respect for the Bible as a spiritual work. As the story of humankind’s evolving spiritual consciousness it deserves to be studied with an open mind and willing heart. The Bible takes us from creation to Adam to Jesus and from unenlightened human to enlightened spiritual being. Viewed this way, the Bible is an epic quest. It is truly a thoughtful account of the evolution of our evolving Christ Consciousness.

      It is a journey we all must take, and the Scriptures tell us how to do it. It is an inner journey, a journey which demands that we go beyond the literal to the metaphysical, the allegorical, the metaphorical, if we are to understand its deeper wisdom and relevance to us today.

      The difficulties, contradictions, and discrepancies which have proven so perplexing to tens of millions of people who have only read and studied literal translations of the Bible are dissolved from a metaphysical perspective.

      For those willing to look past its literal meaning, the Bible is rich in timeless, hidden wisdom. The universality of a metaphysical interpretation takes the Bible beyond a mere churchianity perspective. It moves it past the exclusiveness of religion to the inclusiveness of spirituality.

      Care has, however, been taken neither to over stress its esoteric or metaphorical significance, nor to read into a passage more than is inherent within its intended purpose. My hope is that you will be deepened by the connection between the literal translations and their metaphysical counterparts. My sense is, if you give yourself permission, you will feel the tug of Spirit as you open your mind and heart to the hidden truths contained in each of the familiar scriptural passages selected for this work.

      Mark 1:1-3

      (Holy Bible from the Aramaic of the Peshitta)

      1. The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

      2. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold I send my messenger before your face, that he may prepare your way,

      3. the voice that cries in the wilderness: Make ready the way of the Lord and straighten his highways.

      Mark 1:1-3

      (New Metaphysical Version)

      1. The beginning of our spiritual unfoldment comes from the recognition that our Christ Self (Higher Self)

      2. underwrites all of our prosperity, abundance and higher good through Its very nature (our Isaiah quality). There is a sense of deeper knowing within us that feels the promptings of our Higher Self and seeks to prepare us for our evolving Christhood.

      3. It knows we are God indivisibilized at the point of
