HIDDEN WISDOM OF THE BIBLE - 5

New Thought teachers:

Many New Thought teachers have unlocked for us the meanings in these great books. These include Thomas Troward, Ernest Holmes, and Jack Addington. Their books should be on your book shelf.

Unlocking the Code:

The 'code' is the similar to what we might use in dream interpretation or in psychoanalysis. The symbols, both objects and events, of a narrative are indicators of what is in the creative mind of the narrator, whether it be dreamer, writer, painter, cartoonist, or subject on the analyst's couch. We dream in parables. We live in parables, as our life experience is an outward symbol of what is in our mind.

Metaphysical schools of thought like ours are based on the symbolic relationship between thought and thing, where the 'things' in our life have flowed into the forms created out of our thought, through the working of an Universal Law of creation. As Ernest Holmes tell us, this is because our individual mind is just the use we are making of a Universal Mind Principle, When we sit on a chair, or pour water, we make individual use of the Universal Principle of Gravitation; When we make coffee or toast we make personal use of an Electrical Principle. And we think with the Universal principle of Thought.
