Category: The World as a Metaphor

41 The Quilt of Lives

God said:“There is not one thread of life that is not connected to another. Not one. All is interconnected. A thread is woven and unseen. It may take a year or ten or a thousand before that thread is seen again. There are no dropped stitches in life. A seed planted years ago will sprout and spread new seeds of itself. A remarkable quilt is being woven, ever continuing, never-ending.” HL 3349

Weaving itself is not only a metaphor, it is in fact one of the most ancient basic techniques that human societies have implemented in their technological knowledge for survival. And it is still prevailing today…The global techniques that use the principle of weaving are called plectogenic or plexogenic, from the Greek root  plekto-, plexo- “to plait, weave, entwine, braid; twisted”.

11 The World as a Metaphor. Understanding totally by understanding totality.

God said:“…Is it a metaphor that the sun is your heart, or that your heart is the sun?… Are metaphors perhaps more true than that the grass is green and the sky is blue?” HL 3211

 ℑ “There is only one way out of the world’s thinking, just as there was only one way into it. Understanding totally by understanding totality” ACIM 7-7

There is nothing in life that is not connected to another. Loneliness is a fantasy, it is totally meaningless. We don’t see the thread. Metaphor is the thread. It takes all lives and all aspects of all lives in all universes and weaves a never-ending and ever-growing tapestry. This tapestry is Awareness of Oneness.
