Here is some material from the book related to Paul:
Back to the Future
Earlier the astrology pointed out a Star of David in the sky chart for the Phoenix Lights. David showed up in relation to the skull in the landscape and the Ofanim of Ezekiel. Perhaps taking a longer look at the Biblical figure will enlighten the search for meaning in the Lights.
Throughout the Bible David is mentioned as Gods anointed first born and his king (Samuel did the anointing). David is given credit for writing most of the psalms and is revered above all other kings.
The name David means beloved. It symbolizes the transformation of our DNA gimel element (carbon), by walking through the door of dalet, into the final hey which both Abram and Sarai realized by comprehending Gods internal and external reality that contemporary seekers call All That Is.
We can find a dalet in the beginning and the end of Davids name with a vav in the middle. The expression Dor-V-Dor means from one generation to another. The second use of dalet expresses the nature of transitioning from one state to another. The text regarding Davids episode in Ein Gedi with Saul showcases how the bible repeats versions of other stories with character changes and chronological reversals reinforcing the notion of multi-dimensional time.
David was the eighth and youngest son of Jesse from the kingly tribe of Judah. He was also a direct descendent of Ruth the Moabite. David began his life as a shepherd in Bethlehem. One day, the prophet Samuel called him out of the field and anointed him without the knowledge of the current king, Saul. David simply returned to his sheep. His first interaction with Saul came when the king was looking for someone to play music for him, and the kings attendant summoned the skilled David to play for him. Saul was pleased with David and kept him in his service as a musician.

This is the Jesus story through the looking glass. Here we have the reverse situation of David descending from a Jesse of Bethlehem instead of Jesus of Bethlehem descending from David. David is descended from a convert and is a shepherd. Once named Saul, St. Paul the convert to Christianity will be a shepherd of his own flock.
The first time David publicly displayed his courage was when, as an inexperienced boy armed with only a stick and a few stones, he confronted the nine-foot, bronze armored Philistine giant, Goliath of Gath. After skilled warriors had cowered in fear for 40 days, David made a slingshot, invoked Gods name, and killed the giant. After this, Saul took David on as commander of his troops and David formed a close friendship with Sauls son, Jonathan.

Davids story now has a Yohannon entering the picture reflecting the story of Jesus. Yohannon was John the Baptists name. Again we see the relationship of Goliath of Gath to Golgotha the place of the skull both containing head elements along with death and overcoming it. The slingshot is interesting as it denotes boomerang properties found throughout this text. Perhaps the fear of Golgotha or death goes hand in hand with the conquering of our inner egotistic beast of Goliath.
Sauls jealousy of David grew and he asked his son Jonathan to kill David. Jonathan was a friend of Davids, however, and hid David instead. He then went to his father and convinced Saul to promise not to kill David. Saul promised, and David returned to his service. This promise did not last and, after Saul attempted to kill David a second time, Michal helped David run away to the prophet Samuel in Ramah. David returned briefly to make a pact of peace with Jonathan and to verify that Saul was still planning to kill him. He then continued his flight from Saul, finding refuge with the king of Moab. On the way, the priest Ahimelech of Nob gave David a weapon. When Saul heard this, he sent Doeg the Edomite to kill 85 of the citys priests.

This creates a repeated pattern of Saul breaking promises to David. We also see the zealousness of Saul, which is reminiscent of St. Pauls pre-conversion personality Saul of Tarsus.
In the course of his flight, David gained the support of 600 men, and he and his band traveled from city to city. At one point, in Ein Gedi, David crept up on Saul while he was in a cave, but instead of killing him, cut a piece from his cloak and confronted Saul. Saul broke down and admitted that David would one day be king and asked David to swear that he would not destroy Sauls descendants or wipe out Sauls name. David swore to this, but it did not stop Saul from continuing to pursue him. Finally, David and his supporters joined the service of Achish, the Philistine king of Gath who entrusted David with control of the city of Ziklag. Under Achishs employ, David raided the cities of nomads who harassed the Jews and gave the spoils as gifts to the leaders of Judah to win their support for him against Saul.

The Hebrew word in the Torah is skirt not cloak. This rending or tearing of the skirt could be referring to the Tree of Life where the Kingdom Malkuth is split into Judaism and Christianity thus creating another Fall of sorts. Saul seems to recognize that it is Davids will to split the kingdom with the foresight that David will later restore it. Saul seeks assurance that his descendants (future converts to Christianity for St. Paul?) not wipe out Sauls name.
In the book Seth Speaks, Seth claims that there were three personalities that made up the Christ entity John the Baptist, Jesus and Saul/Paul. The other two aspects of this Christ entity, John and Jesus, were very satisfied with the way they played their roles. Paul was not. Because he didnt have everything revealed to him, Saul/Paul struggled to set up a framework of ideas that would not strangle the emerging theology which he viewed as an extension of a less restrictive and more loving Judaism for the gentile world.
In my opinion, the unfinished aspect of the energetic Christ entity that Seth speaks of, seeks to fulfill its mission by introducing and clarifying the esoteric elements that religions have distorted through their fundamental or literal interpretations, which in many ways were designed to control the masses - not empower them. In particular, I believe all religions would benefit from an understanding of the Kabbalistic concept of the Adam Kadmon.
Man is not far enough advanced in sacred thought to comprehend the Universal Church, and so the work that God has given me to do is not the building of that Church. I am a model maker, sent to make a pattern of the Church that is to be a pattern that the age may comprehend. My task as model builder lies within my native land, and there, upon the postulate that Love is son of God, that I am come to manifest that Love, the Model Church will stand.
