Chapter 18 of Genesis verse 20 - 32: Mystic Occult POV

I loved Chapter 18 of Genesis, especially toward the end. I have a mystic perspective on what the bible could potentially mean, and I believe it's heavily symbolic and speaks about our consciousness and how to become christ figures by witnessing our " I AM " potential.
What I mean by that is, seeing that what I claim to be in my emotions thoughts and judgments genuinely does get manifested in my 3D reality in the form of whatever my judgment is. As an example, if I claim I am wealthy, I attract circumstances that affirm for that, however if I do the opposite the same applies.
I begin by dissecting each verse, and summarizing the meaning towards the end. The Bible verses I will highlight in yellow, and my descriptions I will keep blank.
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
Capital L O R D, in my opinion means cosmic law or force. What you reap is what you sew, if you project from your 4th dimensional realm which is your emotional state and thoughts that keep replaying in your head, you will receive whatever that judgment you're projecting. So, karmic law is visiting Abraham, while in meditation, and telling him he will deliver unto Soddom and Gommorah only that of which is worth delivering.
So, what this means in my opinion is he will go and serve karmic law for whatever it is the people in the city have been doing, and to really see if things are as bad as they sound. Essentially, God wants to see if the degree of sin is as truly bad as it seems. Keep in mind, sin means harmatia or missing the mark, and missing the mark means you're not manifesting properly because your emotions and thoughts are being projected correctly towards what it is you want to manifest or create.
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
The men who that are here are 3 men that are physically visiting Abraham while he's in the plains of Mamre. These men, are manfiestations Abraham brought into reality, which emphasizes the idea that the divine can manifest in the world of the material.
In both verse 22 and 23, righteous and the wicked are both part of the same collective consciousness. Both need to undergo a transformation because they are interwoven in the same spiritual environment. The righteous part of you when you were 20 is significantly less refined the righteous part of you when you're 30. You sacrificed the good back then to gain the more evolved righteous part of you that you have today. Abraham is hesitating, and doesn't think the righteous should under go alchemy, potentially for a moral conflict within himself because he is human, much like you and I when we have a moral dilemma within us. However, morality doesn't lend a hand to karmic law, karmic law will deliver what it's equivalent is. Morality is a judgment that isn't fluid from person to person, so people will get justice through morality differently, depending on what degree of morality they have, because what you believe is what your reality will become.
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
From a spiritual perspective, the number 50 can symbolize that the people in the city, if there were at least 50 righteous individuals, are close to transcending the limitations of the physical world (symbolized by the 5 senses). When you're using your 5 senses, it means your dwelling in your 3D reality. So what that means is, if you are a victim to what see, taste, touch, head and smell you will stay locked into the 3D plain thinking you're a prisoner of your circumstances. However, in reality you're just a victim to your limiting beliefs.
By starting at 50, it can symbolize that idea that, these people either will transcend their 5 sense to obtain christ consciousness like Neville Goddard may suggest, to become the creator and see beyond the physical plane in their imagination, or they will fall asleep to their divinity as creators and be in bondage during their lifetime by dwelling within their minds.
The Year of Jubilee is celebrated every 50th year, where debts are forgiven, and land is returned to its rightful owners. This marks a restoration and renewal, a time of spiritual cleansing and freedom. So in this context, 50 can also mark the potential for spiritual renewal within the city. However, these people need to prove they have the capacity to be righteous.
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Abraham is saying, deliver karmic law according to the nature of it's power. If 50 people are there, this means 50 people can start a change within the city and convince 60, 70, 80 hell even 1,000 people to become righteous. This concept marks the idea of 1 candle can light a hundred. It just takes one person to become and example, similiar to Christ, to change everyone's minds about an idea, to then have a permanent internal shift.
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
God says that he will keep the promise of karmic law against 50 people, and deliver only what is the equivalent of what they are projecting emotionally and through thoughts. Again, you reap what you sew, your reality is based on what you think and feel that's how the simulation works.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. The fact that Abraham called LORD, Lord instead may suggest that one of the men out of the 3 stayed back and Abraham has been speaking to him instead of directly to the universe, he's speaking to a human who was sent from God or an angel. These 3 men may be seen as angels.
Abraham is calling himself dust and ashes, because he's bartering with God in the conversation, and challenging him. To humble himself during this conversation, this saying refers to the idea that he's nothing compared to God. Kind of alluding to the idea, of. "Look, i'm nothing compared to your wisdom and power BUT...if we were to save 45 amount of people, would you honor the law of cause and effect and keep the city upright?"
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
The law of assumption in this case might suggest that Abraham’s deep concern and focus on finding someone pure could be driven by a subconscious belief that the city’s fate is already sealed. He keeps bargaining because, at some level, he might assume there’s no hope left for the city — even though he is seeking out righteousness, his assumption may be that it’s too late for the city, and that there are not enough righteous people to save it. However another point of view is that Abraham knows that one person can make a difference and effect others, he understands transmuting energy because he's under gone his own alchemy along with Sarah. The fact that he goes down and down in his numbers may suggest that he knows one person can make a difference.
The fact that he says " for ten's sake" at the end also echos the idea of the completion of a cycle. Ten in numerology is essentially an end and a beginning because the 0 can be taken away and become 1. So, if there's a completion of a cycle here, one could assume there is an end or a closing of a chapter or a death. However, that doesn't mean a new chapter isn't beginning. Death isn't the end, in tarot death is mostly seen as rebirth, and this foreshadows the "death" of Soddom and Gommorah in the future Chapters.
