One of the keys to understanding Biblical writings is Matthew 13:13.

Verses 13:10-17 explains why so much misunderstanding happens.

Carlo Suarès believed the Bible was written as a how-to manual for the soul.

The more I study the texts the truer this seems to me.

Exactly.

And Jesus HAD to explain in parables because God and Heaven are a dimensionless undivided equilibrium.

One can only infer a dimensionless point by drawing a dot on a piece of paper...but that dot still has dimension...

In otherwords, the symbol of the dot on paper is a metaphor for a dimensionless point.

Similarly, the only way to teach and explain about a dimensionless cause is to speak about it using parables, metaphors and smilies.

I have a kind of mental Venn diagram where I look for the agreements among all the sources I read.

Russell, Fuller, the Bible, mythology, and many more all have a circle in that diagram.
