When Sacred Words Become Sacred Experience
Imagine holding a 40,000-year-old figurine-half-lion, half-human-carved from mammoth ivory in a German cave. This Lion Man represents humanity's unique capacity to envision what doesn't exist, the foundation of both religion and science. Karen Armstrong's "The Lost Art of Scripture" reveals how we've fundamentally misunderstood sacred texts across traditions. These weren't meant to be dry doctrinal manuals or historical records to be analyzed intellectually. They were dynamic, embodied practices designed to transform consciousness through performance, chant, and ritual. Scripture was originally experienced as sound vibrating through the body, as movement in community, as a doorway to transcendence-not words trapped on a page. In our modern culture wars, we've reduced these multidimensional experiences to ammunition for arguments, missing their original purpose: to engage our whole being in encountering the ineffable.
