Yet, that whole concept or metaphor is beyond me. I understand that with the author that it is related to a dream that he had. But, as far as finding Jesus's bones sounds a bit off coming to me...We all are aware that he was buried in that tomb or cave therefore even if he did not rise like it is said to have happened when his remains would still, in fact, be in that same place where his body was stored.

Yes! Authenticity. That explanation makes sense to me. He was talking about getting to the root, the core, the "real deal." I agree!Ekta Kumari wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 16:08 I think it was mainly used as a metaphor signifying that the author was chosen to find the authentic meaning behind Jesus's teachings and then propagating it to others.
You can spend your time however you want, but you can spend it only once.

Now the challenge, or perhaps journey, is to achieve this beautiful answer Haight provided at the end of the book.Kibetious wrote: ↑16 Mar 2019, 13:16 I also support the opinion that the author was not in any fact looking for bones literally. If he received the vision from Jesus, then Jesus resurrected which means that there would be no bones to look for. Therefore, this had a different meaning and it was to find the core of the teaching of Jesus. The answer was given at the end of the book.

This is definitely the most likely scenario for the use of the term. But it's an odd way to describe that, as so many others have pointed out. I think the author probably needed to expand on the term a bit further.KristyKhem wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 21:18 Jesus' bones refer to his core teachings. Jesus spoke in parables in the Bible, so maybe this was why he chose to appear 'boneless' in the author's dream. It is not meant to be taken literally. The author simply had to revive Jesus' true teachings and share it with the world.
