This is a little like the way Arthur Murray used to teach ballroom dancing, by painting footprints on the ballroom floor for the student dancers to step into. I'm suggesting that the sequence of letters in canonized scripture, such as the Hebrew text of Genesis, represents a dance in the mind. Hand gestures are universal, and what's in the hand, and the gesture of the hand, can always be seen in the mind's eye. Our hand functions in the world and in the mind, and thus its articulations can serve as a link between the two domains. Obviously, writing a story doesn't solve the problem.
Meditational exercises are notoriously impossible to convey in word-descriptions.
This is what I'm suggesting as the origin of the Hebrew alphabet as a gesture-language. But recording a series of gestures would be of no interest to the general public. If the clear-text is an attractive or fascinating cultural history, then those reading it would have sufficient reason to maintain it, even if they didn't know of or couldn't perform the meditations. It makes no sense to read the stories of the Bible in a way that makes them oppose history. That would lower their credibility, and consequently their survivability.
