HIDDEN WISDOM OF THE BIBLE - 3

Writing and Reading
are parts of a single act in Consciousness;
The passing of a thought in Mind
over Time & Space

Writing and reading are two sides of the same coin. Taken together, they form a communication between two minds, over both space and time, with both writer and reader contributing to the final understanding of what is read.

When we view people as individual minds, only the writer knew what they meant when they wrote what they wrote. But only the reader can determine the final sense that is gained from reading it. But we know from our study of Religious Science that there are not two individual minds, there is only one Mind, and the great books convey a movement of thought within that Mind, from one part to another. Writing is just another way of planting a thought in Mind.


One thought
with a million viewpoints

A Bible passage, written 3000 years ago, and read by someone today, is such a communication in Mind, transcending time and space. Each reader triggers a different communication, so that one passage results in millions upon millions of transfers of thought across 3000 years of time, and millions of miles in space as the earth goes on its travels. Though there be a single Truth, millions of viewpoints result. And since YOUR spiritual self wrote it years ago, you know at a deep level what it means to you.

In Universal Mind, there is one Consciousness; there is no time or space to form a barrier to understanding; and Writing and Reading are two parts of the same act, the act of passing a thought within Mind itsell There is truly only ONE thought, not many, and if a million thoughts are held in Mind, they are integrated into an expanding Truth. In this way, God contemplates Itself from all points of view.
