3 Scriptures come in many tongues, they serve different purposes and vary in value, ² but each suits and serves a group of people in a particular stage of ruach-ual development, ³ the lessons of an infant are as essential to its future as are the lessons of an older child, ⁴ each Scripture gives a glimpse of the light, a Ruach-ual revelation from a different viewpoint, ⁵ but in each case the light is the same, ⁶ for there is only one light of Truth!

⁷ however, Divine Writings need interpretation, for they conceal more than they reveal, and they are never just what they appear to be on the surface, ⁸ if a particular Scripture proclaimed that fire actually gives out cold instead of heat and that the sun really sheds darkness instead of light, the shallow-minded person would turn from it in scorn, ⁹ but this irresponsible and thoughtless attitude cannot be applied to Kodesh Words, ¹⁰ and it would be much wiser to assume that the Scripture intended to convey a meaning and message quite different from the superficially apparent one, ¹¹ Divine Scripture cannot be treated like entertaining and valueless literature! therefore, delve deeply and diligently!

¹² the only conclusion an intelligent person can come to is that all Kodesh Scriptures, read properly and really understood, originate at One Source, ¹³ and, reveal only a fraction of the whole on the surface, and so, ¹⁴ in worldly matters, ¹⁵ in rules of life, and code of conduct and morals, ¹⁶ in all things governing life on Earth, ¹⁷ they will be interpreted strictly, according to their obvious meaning and intent; ¹⁸ in all things pertaining to Ruach-ual matters,

¹⁹ the afterlife,

²⁰ the Divinity,

²¹ or not strictly concerned with earthly life and existence,

²² they need not necessarily be interpreted literally, for writing as an earthly medium is inadequate to express such things concisely.
