Jews understood that reality and mysteries were not explicable through senseless matter and random laws. There was will and purpose in the universe. The originality of Judaism was to declare that it all came from a single, supreme, and personal God.

Another  innovative aspect of Judaism was its view of the material world. Whereas Buddhism saw  the body as a prison for the spirit, Judaism saw the body as a host to the spirit. Far from considering physical existence illusory or worthless, Judaism exalted it.

What does the life and times of Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, or David, tell us about the nature and goal of Eternons?  To answer, we must read the Bible like any other sacred text: with the eye of the soul. The Bible is not the mere chronicle of the relationship between Middle Eastern nomads and their fatherly divinity. It is a message, a teaching. Behind the humans who wrote it, we perceive the wisdom of their Leading Eternons.

Throughout the text, we are reminded how and why we are on this Earth. From Genesis, where light and darkness, matter and void, emerge from the Absolute; to Ecclesiastes, where our dust turns to dust again. From Exodus, where the Commandments become foundations for spiritual and social order; to the revolutionary words of the Prophets, where justice and progress are claimed for all children of God.

The Bible proposes a moral for us embodied Eternons to fulfill our humanity. Its reading is a journey lifting the spirit from the pettiness of our human condition to the greatness of our Eternon status.
