Many call them "ancient books" or holy books. The words in these books have been transferred through a variety of languages over the eons. Not only the wording has changed but also the interpretations. In short the surface or face value of the words which become stories and legends, become part of the fabric of societies. But have these societies learned that fairy tales read for surface level "belief" always lead to confusion, destruction and blind belief. Actually blindness and belief often go hand in hand. A spiritual adult "grows" up and moves beyond the fairy tales as he or she has learned the indepth, the macro and the micro knowledge presented in a book considered holy or respected. A "holy" book is a book of light in the sense that it is representation of light in the form of symbol. Many call this hieroglyph or higher writing, and there is only one true way to know higher writing: to know your self first.
