I have grown to like the metaphor of Moses leading the
Isralites out of bondage. It could appear as step by step
instruction for the trials and tribulations of achieving
enlightenment/freedom, with the Red Sea representative of
the veil of illusion. Especially the part about eating that
manna which lead to the dispelling of false gods. Groovy!
