BIBLE VERSES

SHINAR LAND

A symbol of a condition of inertia : the same as the state of tamas.

"And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there." - GENESIS. ix. 2.

And as the wave of Divine life "journeyed cast," that is towards its means of experience and development, it arrived at a field of action in "Shinar,"-a condition of relative inertia.
