Abstract

The collaborative aims to identify possible avenues for stugying and presenting the biblical text to neurodivergent individuals, form which the entire scientific community can benefit. For this, the spiritual dimension, part of the constellative personal identity inherited form ancient Egypt by the Judeo-Christian Bible and identified as deficient in autistic individuals, is redefined through the ontological shift applied to texts from the past by the Social Sciences.  The superposiciton of level of level of meaning in the Biblical text is revealied as a substrate of carmina figuarata at the bignining of writing; as the aspective into societies  of integrated thought, of the narrative discourse that demand response from the reader.  this cosnpicous communication reaches the biblical text allows for the same universality as discoursive and metaphorical languaje. THe turning pont will be determined, hermeneutically, by the interaction, as a collaborative ethic of the past, between the receptors of the Sacred Text.
