[FairfieldLife] Tongues of Fire: A Symbol of Pure Consciousness
To All: The early Christian writers have written about the tongues of fire that appeared on the apostles' heads during Pentecost. In modern parlance, the writers were trying to tell us that there is a silent witness that burns from within--in other words that's pure consciousness. So, the literal translation of the symbolic language may be inaccurate. We also note that after this incident the apostles were able to communicate to different nationalities even though they only spoke Aramaic or Hebrew. In other words, the writers were trying to say that the apostles' understanding of the Christ experience was understood by everyone since it is the natural realization of the consciousness that burns within all human beings.
