Daily Dose - Distributing Truth
Distributing Truth
------------------
Before, there was a hierarchy of truth. The high priest of Egypt had the real truth. The scribes had secrets of the truth. Their initiated students had inklings. The people wallowed in ignorance.
Moses, the revolutionary, changed all that. At Mount Sinai, all men, women and children, princes and commoners, priests and workers, had to be present. All received the same truth, all at once. Even the priestly rites were made public knowledge.
Before, power and authority was based on withholding knowledge. In a Torah world, authority is established through universal knowledge.
