3 perspectives on the bible

[Majed]

There are 3 different perspectives on the reading of the Bible: A literal reading, a metaphorical reading, and my own reading, which comes from the understanding that there is no difference between fiction and reality. Therefore, the story of Adam and Eve is literally true and at the same time a fiction, because fiction and reality are the same thing. This also applies to all the stories in the Bible,because the most fundamental substance of reality is imagination, not atomic particles. In fact, atomic particles are the product of human imagination at a conceptual level, and divine imagination at the physical level. But, once again, the difference between human and divine is a fiction.But then again, fiction is reality, so if we imagine an ontological difference between human beings and God, as there is in the Bible, this becomes reality. Thus, we enter into increasingly fascinating strange loops.

And what differentiate the bible from a work of fiction like game of thrones is imagination. Thus when we imagine a difference, which humans in western culture have done for centuries, it becomes real and true. Because truth and falsehood are one: imagination. By imagining the Bible as an absolute ontological truth, humanity effectively manifested it into reality. It altered laws, built civilizations, and shaped the human psyche. The ultimate irony—the grandest strange loop of all—is that by using our unlimited, divine imagination to create a reality where we are limited and separate from God, we proved just how powerful our imagination actually is. We successfully imagined ourselves into a state of powerlessness.
