The crucifixion is often viewed as the climax of the Bible. Yet psychologically, it is not the main event. It represents the fixing of a new state of consciousness—the 'death' of old assumptions and the solidifying of a new identity through the after release of self-judgement.
The Crucifixion as Inner Fixing
The cross is symbolic of the point where an idea is fully fixed in imagination. The centering of focus upon the readers own 'ask believe receive'. This is the inner pivot, the moment the mind establishes a new assumption that will cause the psyche to naturally adjust in response
Saul Becomes Paul
Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus illustrates the internal shift: when the scales fell from his eyes, he saw that the world was not judging him—the mind itself had been the judge. This mirrors the crucifixion’s effect on consciousness, where old self-judgments dissolve.
Paul’s Letters as Mental Dialogue
Paul’s epistles record the self-adjusting and integrating that happens after transformation. They teach the mind how to live from the new state of being, how to navigate life after the internal pivot has already occurred.
The Psychological Narrative
Viewed this way, the Bible is a map of consciousness. The crucifixion is the pivot; Paul’s letters are the guide for living in the aftermath. They show how the mind reflects, remembers, and adjusts to embody the fixed assumption, the completed shift in perception.
Living from the End
The story is not about external events. It is about how the mind dies to old judgments, embraces new assumptions, and integrates a transformed consciousness. Paul’s letters reveal the process of inhabiting this changed state, making them just as vital as the crucifixion itself.
