Genesis 37:26 Meaning Judah Said to His Brothers

Judah is the right hemisphere, the spirit, the tribe of light within a person, and it is the light-side that will not let the visionary faculty be destroyed outright. When the lower brothers move against Joseph, the dreamer and seer in the mind, it is the higher, praising part of the self that stays their hand and keeps that inner life from being wholly spilled. The seer is not killed; he is only sent down for a season into the lower places, as the Christ within always is before it rises.

This is the same betrayal and burial that returns later in the story of Jesus, told first in one man and then in another, because it is one event happening inside every person. The higher self intervenes so the inner life-force is preserved rather than lost, and what goes down into darkness is held for a rising still to come.

Judah: the right hemisphere, the spirit, the light-side tribe within that guards the higher faculty Joseph: the dreamer and visionary faculty, the seer sent down into the lower places before rising Blood: the inner life-force, the life of that visionary faculty
