11/17/14 Outside Reading: The Pink Bible

            The bible is the most sold book in the world, mainly because of its contents. The thing about the bible is that even if you don’t believe in the Christian God, you can still learn from it. If we need to relate sacred communication and journeys to the bible, I could draw on almost any story from it and relate it to sacred communication and journey. Even so, I have decided to pull from Genesis. Noah is told by God to gather two of animals and build an arc to place them on. God said that a rain would come and flood the world, and told Noah to only bring his family. Noah had to set out and gather two of every animal; he had never had a task this great and of this magnitude. Without question he found two of every, single animal on the planet and coaxed them to the arc. Sacred communication is major in this case; Noah had to communicate to the animals that they were in danger. Last time I checked it is a strenuous task to talk to animals. The only way they would be able to understand him would be through emotion and feeling, which are major components in sacred communication and journeys.
