They all came from us, arose from us, evolved out of us. "All things are led by mind, created by mind".

Reality is the "revelation".

(By which I mean, picking out particular stories - or anything else - as being an intended "revelation" of a transcendent Being, having a particular meaning, which we are to "believe"........is for me a complete non-starter)
