My spiritual mentor would sometimes say things to me that were definitely not clear (confusing) and actually appeared initially to be quite absurd. However, the "absurdity" of such interactions triggered meditations that sometimes lasted 8-9 hours after which I realized that the interaction was NOT "absurd" and that I had to adjust my paradigm of the Reality. Sometimes, a "confusing" passage is intentionally meant to trigger deep reflection
.... while, at other times, it may just be the product of a confused mind.
Perhaps, some Biblical passages may appear to be confusing but are actually meant to inspire deeper reflection on the nature of the Reality.
