Was this mythological story a Jesus Miracle..
Or Cryptic Symbolism and Allegory...?
"Well, by now it had grown dark and Jesus had not yet come to them. Also, the SEA BEGAN TO BE
STIRRED UP because a STRONG WIND was blowing. However, when they had rowed about three
or four miles, they beheld Jesus WALKING UPON THE SEA and getting near the boat; and they became
fearful."
"And when he got aboard a boat, his disciples followed him. Now, look! a great agitation arose in the SEA,
so that the boat was being covered by the WAVES; he, however, was sleeping. And they came and woke
him up, saying: "Lord, save us, we are about to perish! "But he said to them: "Why are you fainthearted,
you with little faith?" Then, getting up, HE REBUKED THE WINDS AND THE SEA, AND A CALM
SET IN. So the men became amazed and said: "What sort of person is this, that even the WINDS and
the SEA obey him?"
"Neither be called 'leaders,' for your Leader is one, the Christ."
John 6:16 + Matthew 8:23 + Matthew 23:10

The Cryptic meaning. of walking on water..
Jesus is treading on the high places.. government.. law.. and organized religion..
Its symbolic meaning.is.... Powerwise.. he is over all government and authority.. so they MUST obey him..
and he is telling them.. They have to clean up their art.. and top lying.. and stop opressing people with too
many laws.. etc.
This symbolic story is about who is the law giver.
"...for your Leader is one, the Christ."

The Miracle of Jesus Walking on the High Waves of the Sea..
"Well, by now it had grown dark and Jesus had not yet come to them. Also, the SEA BEGAN TO BE
STIRRED UP because a STRONG WIND was blowing. However, when they had rowed about three or
four miles, they beheld Jesus WALKING UPON THE SEA and getting near the boat; and they became
fearful."
John 6:16

The Evidence
“Stretching out the heavens by himself and TREADING UPON the HIGH WAVES of the SEA..”
"For, look! God is going forth from his place, and he will
certainly come down and TREAD UPON EARTH'S HIGH PLACES."
"For, look! the Former of the mountains and the Creator of the wind, and the One telling to earthling man
what his mental concern is, the One making dawn into obscurity, and the one TREADING UPON
EARTH'S HIGH PLACES."
"..... in order that we should no longer be babes, TOSSED ABOUT BY WAVES and carried hither and
thither by every WIND of TEACHING by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in
contriving error."
Job 9:8 + Micah 1:3 + Amos 4:13 + Ephesians 4:14

The "Miracle" ...when Jesus Calmed the Storm... and rebuked the sea and wind..
"And when he got aboard a boat, his disciples followed him. Now, look! a GREAT AGITATION arose in
the SEA, so that the boat was being covered by the WAVES; he, however, was sleeping. And they came
and woke him up, saying: "Lord, save us, we are about to perish! "But he said to them: "Why are you
fainthearted, you with little faith?" Then, getting up, HE REBUKED THE WINDS AND THE SEA,
AND A CALM SET IN. So the men became amazed and said: "What sort of person is this, that even
the WINDS and the SEA obey him?"
Matthew 8:23

The Evidence
“He is STILLING the NOISE of the SEAS, the NOISE OF THEIR WAVES and the TURMOIL of the
national groups. He causes the windstorm to stand at a calm, So that the waves of the sea keep quiet.”
"The national groups themselves will make a DIN just like the NOISE of many WATERS. And He will
certainly REBUKE IT it, and it must flee far away and be chased like the chaff of the mountains before
a WIND and like a thistle whirl before a STORM WIND."
"But the wicked are like the SEA THAT IS BEING TOSSED, when it is unable to calm down, the WATERS
of which keep tossing up seaweed and mire."
“How long will you keep uttering these things, When the sayings of your mouth are but a powerful wind?”
"Among the nations I have made known trustworthy words. The RULERS have become just like those
moving back a boundary. Upon them I shall pour out my fury just like water. I shall go, I will return to
my place until they bear their guilt; and they will certainly seek my face. When they are in sore straits,
they will seek me. FOR IT IS WIND THAT THEY KEEP SOWING , and a STORM WIND is what
they will reap, strangers themselves will swallow it down."
"They have muliplied altars in order to sin.I proceeded to write for them many things of my Law; Just like
something strange they have been accounted. THE NATIONS ARE FEEDING ON WIND and chasing
after the east WIND all day long. Lying and despoiling are what they multiply. And a covenant among men
they conclude. They became satisfied and THEIR HEART BEGAN TO BE EXALTED. That is why they
forgot me."
"And I went on to say, 'This far you may come, and no farther; And here your PROUND WAVES are limited'?"
Psalms 65:7 + Isaiah 17:12 + Job 8:2 + Isaiah 57:2 + Job 38:11
.Carl Jung's early reaction when he encountered Symbolic Language... was....
."Light on the nature of alchemy began to come to me only after I had read the text of the Golden Flower, the book of Chinese alchemy. I was stirred by the desire to become more closely acquainted with the alchemical texts.
Occasionally I would look at the pictures, and each time I would think, "Good Lord, what nonsense! This stuff is impossible to understand." But it persistently intrigued me, and I made up my mind to go into it more thoroughly. I soon found it provocative and exciting.
To be sure, the texts still seemed to me blatant nonsense, but here and there would be passages that seemed significant to me, and occasionally I even found a few sentences which I thought I could understand. Finally I realized that the alchemists were talking in symbols.
"Why this is fantastic," I thought. "I simply must learn to decipher all this." By now I was completely fascinated, and buried myself in the texts as often as I had the time."
