Literalism and Reading

For some esoteric religious sects, most Theology is besides the point. For these, Scripture is a repository of divine energy, the physiological act of reading of which is an energizing process, in the same way that an aerobics exercise is. On that basis, any assertion about the language of the texts--including the Literalist thesis that they are 'true'--is an irrelevant abstraction. Likewise, the fundamental locus of any Theology appropriate to such Esotericism would be the actual scriptural reading process itself.
