An interpretation that I read (by a mere mortal, not the Master or the
Guardian, and I can't remember where - maybe New Keys to the Book of
Revelation by Ruth Moffit) was that the book is the Revelation. It
tastes sweet in the mouth (when we read it) but is bitter in the belly
because it brings tests and difficulties upon us. That seems plausible
to me.

said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but
it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the
angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon
as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
(Revelation of John 10:9 - 10:10)
I have seen existence referred to as a book; and a Prophet as a book; and the human soul as a book; as well as a divine Revelation as a book.
Anyone have any thoughts on this book?
Thanks
Brent
