How LumenNous holds this idea
The boundaries below travel with this concept wherever it appears in prayer, practice, reflection or a guided pathway.
metaphor only
Mythic and healing language is used as metaphor, not medical, scientific or literal cosmology.
source specific
Distinct texts remain distinct; comparison does not turn them into one hidden universal doctrine.
Source strands
Each strand keeps its own work, historical setting and editorial relation. Similarity is shown without claiming all sources teach the same doctrine.
