Is the Bible an occult book?

[Andrey]

I was roaming the net and came across a post saying that the Bible is an occult book.. that it is written in a language of symbols and that to read it literally is to miss its spirit. She said that the stories of Jesus are the stories of the soul's own journey through the stages of initiation from the manger to the resurrection. What do you guys think of this take? Is it true?

She also said that the Old Testament is the outer veil of the Qabalah. She says that to the uninitiated it is a history of a nomadic tribe but to the initiate it is a symbolic map of the sephiroth describing the descent of divine energy into the world of form. Do you think this is true?
