Bible - conditions for understanding it

11/27/2010

The truths expressed in the Bible were the experience of exceptional souls. In order to understand them ourselves, we must strive to follow these beings up to the realms they themselves were able to reach, that is to say, share their vision. In order to interpret Jesus' parables, for example, it is not enough to analyse the texts. We need another science, the science of symbols, which can only be acquired through exercising the faculties of the soul and spirit. We will understand the sacred texts when we are able to resonate on the same wavelength as those who wrote them. Otherwise, their language, their true language, will remain foreign to us. We must feel what they themselves felt, live what they themselves lived, that is to say, rise up to their level of consciousness - that is where the light really shines out! But this raised level of consciousness can only be attained if we improve our way of life, if we show more concern and more respect for the laws of the spiritual world.
