Twin Flames of the Bible

Have you ever had a realization about something you've known about for years?  These past few days I did.  I was remembering Jesus and what his life must have been like.  I had some flashbacks to during that time and realized more intuitively his teachings of the time and how so much of his life was taken out of context.

There has been much said about his life in the bible.  Many religions speak about his life and the writings in the bible.  As fate would have it I stumbled upon something on the history channel that captured my attention.

I'm a little nerdy when it comes to things like this.  Our human history, I feel, has been manipulated as much as the tabloids have manipulated our news stories.  So when I sat to watch just a little bit of the show they showed some stories about people who's lives stories were actually removed from the bible.

One such story was about Joseph and Aseneth.  If you've ever heard about Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, it's the same Joseph.  The Joseph from Genesis in the bible.

So Joseph is in the bible, you might say, yes he is.  But his counterpart, a woman, did not make it in completely.  Like the twin of Jesus himself, Mary, how Joseph and Aseneth were brought together was left out.  I feel the story is quite common with twin flame soul mates, so I decided to post it.

Here is the story according to wikipedia:

According to Genesis 41:45, Pharaoh gives Aseneth, the daughter of Potipherah (Pentephres in the Septuagint) priest of On to Joseph as a wife. Genesis 41:50-52 narrates that Aseneth bore Joseph two sons Manasseh and Ephraim. No more is said of her. Like many narratives in Genesis, the biblical story is tantalizingly brief, and raises questions that were to fascinate later interpreters. Why would an upstanding descendant of Jacob (Israel) marry the daughter of a pagan priest, and how could it be justifiable? How could two of the eponymous tribes be descended from union with an outsider, otherwise prohibited by the Mosaic Law? The story of Joseph and Aseneth sets out to answer some of those questions.

The twenty-nine chapters of Joseph and Aseneth narrate the conversion of Aseneth, from idolatry to monotheism and the worship ofAdonai. Aseneth, a virgin who has rejected numerous worthy suitors, falls in love with Joseph when he, as vizier of Egypt, visits her father. Joseph, however, rejects her as an unworthy idol worshipper.

Aseneth then secludes herself in her tower, repents of her idolatry, confesses her sin, and embraces Joseph's God. Begging for God's acceptance, she then receives an angelic visitor (looking like Joseph), who assures her that her prayers are answered and that she is now a new creation. There follows a strange and extended ritual, where in order to confer on her immortality, the angel shares with Aseneth a magical honeycomb, and is told of her heavenly counterpart Metanoia (Repentance).

The honeycomb, which the angel marks with a cross, causes a swarm of bees to surround her, and some return to heaven though others die. The meaning and significance of this episode of the bees is uncertain, and appears to have some sort of connection to initiation rites of mystery religions. There may also be a connection with the otherwise mysterious name of the prophetess Deborah, literally bee, from one of the oldest parts of the Book of Judges. It is uncertain whether the involvement of a cross indicates a Christian influence or not.
