Hebrews 7:14 Meaning For It Is Evident That Our Lord
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
What does Hebrews 7:14 mean?
The inner Lord rises out of the right side, the spirit-nature of the brain, and never out of the ordained office of ceremony. Judah is the right hemisphere, the seat where the anointed consciousness wakes, and the Christ within springs from that side on its own, without a robe, an altar, or a priest to sanction it.

The inner Lord rises out of the right side, the spirit-nature of the brain, and never out of the ordained office of ceremony. Judah is the right hemisphere, the seat where the anointed consciousness wakes, and the Christ within springs from that side on its own, without a robe, an altar, or a priest to sanction it. Moses, the describing mind, arranges the outward priesthood among the tribe of Levi and says nothing of Judah, because the higher life is not something the mind can ordain. It comes up from the spiritual side of you like a shoot from a root, unappointed. The living priest is grown within, not installed from without.
So the anointing a person carries is native to the right side of the brain and needs no ceremony to make it real.
Judah: the right hemisphere of the brain, the spirit-nature and the side from which the inner Christ rises Levi: the tribe of the man-made priesthood, the ordained office of ritual that Moses arranged for ceremony Moses: the describing, ordering mind that can lay out ritual but cannot ordain the higher life

Live Hebrews 7:14 today
- On your commute, leave the podcast off for ten minutes and let whatever is quietly true in you come up on its own, without steering it or writing it down.
- When someone you love says something real and unpolished at dinner, do not improve it or fit it into advice. Let it stand as it came.
- In a meeting where everyone is waiting for the senior person to speak, say the honest, simple thing you already know. It does not need a title attached to be worth saying.
What is already growing in me that I keep waiting for permission to let out?
The same truth in other traditions
Tao Te Ching 51
The deep way raises all things without appointing anything. Growth happens the way a shoot comes up, from inside, with no office issuing permission.
Zen
A person goes looking for the ox while riding it. What rises in you was never somewhere else needing to be fetched or approved.

What you are seeking is seeking you, and it comes from inside your own chest. The water you want has its spring in the ground you are standing on.
