Thinking Without a BOX

Ark, Tabernacle, and Kaaba all are boxes. The core central feature of the western religions are boxes.

Noah’s Ark/box

The Ark/box of the Covenant

The Jewish and Christian tabernacle/box

The Islamic Grand Mosque Kaaba/cube/box

Ironicially, all three religions claim to free the believer of the prior lies of overly complexity religio-mythologies.

El/lord and Yahweh/sky god are the two lines to the one Jewish God that arises out of the all of the ‘other’ false/non gods and their many powerless statues which are carved/graven out of matter, eventually following mostly just a book, the Torah,

Yeshwa/Joshua/Iesus/Jesus fulfiled the law and ended the sacrificial ritual allowing people to leave the 613 Jewish laws behind and replace temple sacrifice with communion anywhere at any time, honor mostly just a book the Holy Bible.

Muhammad’s Quraysh tribe of Mecca operated the Kaaba temple with its 360 gods, but Islam removed everything except for the black stone of the eastern corner (and following the two predecessor’s I mentioned above), turned mostly to a book, the Qur’an.
