>that jawbone. I need to know.
It's not to be read literally. It's a metaphysical construct. The jewish scriptures can be read in one of 4 ways, and this is called "the orchard" in translation. Getting lost in the orchard means to interpret the text over and over until you turn mad.
I'll try to recall what the methods were, maybe I get some wrong or use the wrong english term but anyway:
>literal
>allegoric
>symbolic
>metaphoric

Of course you can read it literally and go
>Samson strong
which is also true, but that's not what I'm after here.
In an outhouse on the farm I grew up there's the jawbone of an elk lying on a shelf, it must have been up there since the 70s. Since many things are symbolic I kept wondering what was the meaning of that. Then I saw the formation on the astral and instantly recalled the Samson story and I knew.

A boddhisatva has the power to command humans, but this does not have to mean they tell them to do something and they obey for no reason. I think people are way too mystical about it. If someone can slay 1000 people by hand, you're going to obey them, simple as that.
