Terrible comparision maybe but I recently saw the movie about the CBGB club and the line where the owner listens to an underground punk band and says ..."yeah, there's something there". In other words he sensed some intangible quality in bands like the Talking Heads and and the Ramones. And the irony is that his club became an epicenter for new underground rock despite his original intention to platform country, bluegrass, and blues. That is how I as a mostly esoteric reader of Scripture feel about reading the bible...there's uncanny something there, behind the text or maybe woven into it. Hence my facination with Swedenborg, the Gnostics, and such...I am not reading for answers; but rather for the experience of particapring in the Divine. ...and no, God did not talk to a snake...that's just stupid.
