The Bible is About the Power of Imagination in Us
That is what Adam's "rib" becoming Eve, the mother of all living, is about.
I say that imagination is a verb--"to create an image mentally; to imaginate." It is a deliberate act, something that we do. And to do it well takes effort.
I learned the Bible as history. I believe it is about imagination. It is about the revelation of God, the imagination in us. Our imagination. Us. It is about man. It is all psychological, and the aspect of the psychological it is about is imagination--the creative force of God AND man in action. We are all one. God is not another.
Genesis 1: 1: The Beginning (i.e., the imagination of the Ineffable) created God--the heavens and the earth.
Adam's "rib" becoming Eve, the mother of all living, is about imagination. Not imagination as a noun, but imagination as a verb, an act.
Adam knowing Eve and birthing Acquisition and Transitoriness (Cain and Abel) is about imagination.
The chain of antediluvian fathers up unto the Rest (Noah) is about imagination.
The Oneness (ark) that floats above all the problematical facts of the world and carries to a new and better world is about imagination.
Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac are all about imagination. Esau, the flesh, and Jacob, the inner man, are about imagination, too. As are all the sons of Jacob. And Joseph, the inner man, in Egypt, the flesh, is about imagination, too.
Moses discovering that he is actually Israel and that abundance (Jethro) comes from him, because God has become him, is about imagination.
Joshua taking Israel into the Promised Land is about imagination.
The wars of the Anti-Christ against Joshua (Jesus) in Heaven and the new heavens and new earth are about imagination.
Christ being born into the world is about imagination (it being the same as Christ crucified into the death (forgetting) that is our lives here until we ascend).
The purification water in Cana being made into wine is about imagination. Jairus' daughter and the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment is about imagination. "I in thou and thou in me" and all the Bible is about imagination.
In the Bible we can learn what God is like and how to be like him in imagination. Because we need to remember What and Who we are--the Father of David, the Beloved. The "Beloved" is YHWH, and we are the Father of YHWH: the Ineffable: the Source of Imagination. YHWH is imagination that creates what is desired. "When it works, you have found Him."
Hey, you are a verb. Move. Imagine.
