No dear, your ocean is a puddle.
Quote:Scripture is scribed into four levels.
1) Pshat, or direct and simple. This is the level the Atheist stops with. Seeds cannot open if ears are closed. Ears are grain. When water hits a seed of grain, it breaks open and a plant expresses in the soil. The soil must be prepared. I am trying to do this now actually. I am acting as the gardener tilling the soil.
2) Remez, or hinting. This is like Father being Aleph Bet (Letters) writing the Son (Word). It's hinting. Again, the earlier level is necessary for the plant to grow here on this level.
3) Darash is commentary and comparison. Here, we need Seven rules to deScribe what is written by context. Context is the key to seeing the overall picture. As I lead you down this rabbit's hole, you can begin to see my process.
4) Sod, or deep hidden. Here, we need the other three as a foundation to begin seeing the true story. What I outline is simply the cleanest truth I can give you. I must then work my way back to the Pshat level for you to use the water. Once I have watered the entire ground, your seeds will grow.
The analogy is more appropriate than you realise. The seed needs nutrients, it needs fertilizers. Religion is the seed and it needs plenty of bullshit in order to thrive.
