To think of the Bible's events as historical, and the characters recorded there as persons such as you and I, is to see truth tempered to the weakness of the human form, unable to stand the strong light of revelation. But I tell you: it is in us, as persons, that the nature of God is revealed. I tell you: all of the characters of scripture, including Paul, are eternal states. One day, whether you be male or female, you will reach the state of Paul, and your journey in the world of death will come to its end. Paul represents every individual - be he male or female - who arrives at that point in time when he awakens to discover that the characters of scripture did not exist in time and space, but are eternal spiritual states, which the individual moves through toward the climax, which is Jesus Christ. The characters of scripture are not historical. To see anyone - including Jesus Christ - as a person who walked this earth, is to see truth tempered to the weakness of your soul, and unable to bear the strong light of revelation. Jesus Christ is the perfect state into which you are all moving. You will pass through these states to discover - through revelation - that you are the author of the Bible.
Biblical characters and events are not historical but represent eternal spiritual states and processes within the individual. These states, like Paul, are stages of consciousness that everyone experiences on their journey towards the ultimate state of Jesus Christ, which is the realization of one's divine authorship of scripture through revelation.
