In the provided quotes, there is no direct mention or analysis of the phrase “Brother is rocking sister.” This means that we are not given specific excerpts in which this image is examined as a symbol or metaphor. However, if we refer to the general approach described—for example, in the analysis of methods of interpreting poetry—we can assume the following.
The Bible cannot be reduced to an exclusively literal or exclusively metaphorical reading. The text contains both concrete descriptions of historical events and images filled with deep symbolic meanings that require flexibility in interpretation.
Mechanical perception of a text means reading words without active engagement of the mind, that is, without constructing vivid semantic images and deep understanding. In this case, words remain merely a set of printed symbols devoid of emotional and sensory coloring, which does not contribute to forming strong associative links in memory. One source emphasizes:
Reading in the form of a dialogue with the text creates a space for an active search for both explicit facts and hidden subtexts. When a reader asks questions of themselves or participates in a discussion about what they have read, they are not merely receiving information—they begin to interact with the text, uncovering details that might have been missed during passive consumption. This approach promotes analytical thinking, allowing the text to be examined from different perspectives and its profound layers of meaning to be revealed.
Reading is not a matter of passively absorbing a set of symbols; it becomes a creative process when the reader re-creates the emotional state that the author has embedded in the text. In this process, the words on the page merely serve as a starting point for the inner animation of spiritual, emotional, and meaningful images. In other words, to truly grasp the author’s thought, one must actively engage the mind, connect with the inner world, and have the ability to "animate" the letters and images, thereby fully recreating the author’s experiences.
