The Double Bowline Knot
(The Double Bowline Knot is a powerful and timely message ...)
The Double Bowline Knot is a powerful and timely message derived from a consideration of the unfathomable intelligence reflected in the creation of the human body and the spiritual reason for its existence. The author progresses from a technical description of human anatomical parts and systems, and the incomprehensible intelligence reflected in their evolution, to the nonphysical nature of man as indicated by the atomic structure of his physical body. He alludes to physical reality as existing only in a virtual state and that true existence is on a spiritual plane. Therefore, the development of spiritual faith is a necessary step toward reconciling our physical existence with a source of infinite wisdom, a supreme being, which we call God, and that development of spiritual faith could well be the ultimate purpose of our being. The author likens the acquisition of spiritual faith to learning to tie a double bowline knot.
