True spiritual transformation will only come about by the masses when the masses realize that scripture is not great because of its literal history, but because of the spiritual truths taught within it through the use of myth, symbol, and allegory! The real beauty of myth, symbol, and allegory is that it’s not limited like literal history. Therefore it is the only way to explain spiritual concepts which are infinite in nature (because spirit is infinite). We must learn that Spiritual truth is not understood by the mind; it can only be understood by the heart, or the spirit. The Apostle Paul understood all too well that literal history was the cause for arguments and contention, which is why he told us to: “…avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and vain.” (Titus 3:9 To understand myth and allegory is more of an intuitive intelligence and not what the “thinking” mind can understand. It is a right-brained, abstract exercise. Humans lose the ability to think intuitively when they only think carnally, especially when it comes to spirituality.
