There is some truth in this but some has been filtered and misunderstood, and misrepresented, unfortunately. This is true of much of what is in the Scriptures already, being largely metaphorical, a series of stories told to represent important truths but in an indirect fashion hoping to relay the point as a take-home lesson. Keep in mind that little was known about the mind, the makeup of the universe, how the divine realm truly operates, and only a rudimentary awareness of what is possible in forming a human‑divine partnership, but we see this body of work could be a useful starting point to ask us probing questions, and that is a more effective way to use the material than to trust how others interpret it.
