Metaphysical reference
Metaphysical Bible Interpretation and Charles Fillmore
The Metaphysical section asks what a Biblical name, place, person, or event may represent as a movement or state within consciousness.
Charles Fillmore and the source
This layer draws principally from Charles Fillmore’s Metaphysical Bible Dictionary, produced within the Unity tradition. Fillmore was selected because the dictionary offers a systematic, historically influential index of Biblical names and symbols interpreted as faculties, ideas, and states of consciousness.
What a metaphysical meaning is
A metaphysical meaning is an interpretation, not a replacement translation. A concordance may explain what a Hebrew or Greek word can mean lexically; the metaphysical layer asks how that image can function inwardly in a reader’s experience.
How YHWSA presents the material
YHWSA keeps the source layer visibly separate from Scripture and lexical data. Where an entry exists, the app shows the term, definition, symbolic interpretation, and related Scripture references. Absence of an entry is shown plainly rather than filled with an invented attribution.
Why this source was chosen
Fillmore’s dictionary gives the project a consistent historical reference point instead of presenting every symbolic claim as an unnamed universal meaning. Readers can agree, disagree, and compare it with the text because the interpretive tradition is identified here.
