DESCRIPTION:We point out a simple relation between the bulk fi
 eld at an arbitrary radial position and the bounda
 ry OPE\, by placing some old work by Ferrara\, Gat
 to\, Grillo and Parisi in the AdS/CFT context. Thi
 s gives us\, in principle\, a prescription for ext
 racting the classical bulk field from the boundary
  conformal block\, and also clarifies why the latt
 er is computed by a geodesic Witten diagram. We ap
 ply this prescription to the BTZ black hole - view
 ed as a pure state created by the insertion of a h
 eavy operator in the boundary CFT_2 - and use it t
 o relate a classical field in the bulk to a heavy-
 light Virasoro conformal block in the boundary. In
  particular\, we obtain a relation between the rad
 ial bulk position and the conformal ratios in the 
 boundary CFT. We use this to show that the singula
 r points of the radial bulk equation occur when th
 e dual boundary operators approach each other and 
 that the associated bulk monodromies map to monodr
 omies of the (appropriately transformed) conformal
  block\, thus providing a CFT interpretation of th
 e radial monodromy.
