In what way do sacred texts relate to our private narrative?

The "role" of our private narrative is to bring to the surface emotions and systems of belief that we reinforce, the story itself is secondary.

When we understand this, we can realize which messages we communicate to ourselves. Only then can we choose through which emotional and cognitive lenses we see the self and the world.

Our private narrative is meant to be changed

The "role" of any sacred text or spiritual path is to expand our consciousness and perception, to accelerate transformation and paradigm shifts. They are organized in the form of a narrative because the human experience is communicated as a story.

The literal layer is just a gateway to the multi-layered structure of knowledge.
