Bible's Non-Linearity and Primacy of Consciousness

  • The Bible's non-linear structure allows for parallels and adjustments throughout, reflecting a godlike perspective outside of time.
  • The idea of a pre-existent cognitive structure (God) using the Word (Logos) to create order from chaos suggests the primacy of consciousness.

  • Human consciousness plays a crucial role in shaping reality from formless potential.
  • This process, similar to how God used the Word in Genesis, aligns with the concept of living up to one's potential.
