Jewish Scriptures (the Old Testament)

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Is 55:8-9) I use to think that we think the opposite of God, but in an Aha moment I reflected that God's thinking is nondual (includes the opposites) and paradoxial. (Randy)

"Give [me] an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad" (I Kings 3:9).
