WE ARE METAPHORS LIVING IN A WORLD OF METAPHORS

 

I AM A METAPHOR LIVING IN A WORLD OF METAPHORS (A WORLD OF WORDS, USEFUL FIGURES OF SPEECH). WITHOUT METAPHORS, WITHOUT WORDS WE COULD NOT IDENTIFY AS SOMETHING OR SOMEONE, COULD NOT DESCRIBE, COULD NOT NAME THINGS, COULD NOT JUDGE. MINDS LOVE TO TORMENT YOU WITH METAPHORS. WHERE WOULD POLITICIANS, LAWYERS, AND USED CARS SALESMEN BE WITHOUT METAPHORS, NOT TO MENTION, PREACHERS, PHILOSOPHERS, AND COMEDIANS.

=======================================================================

A USEFUL METAPHOR FOR THE UNIVERSE, IS AN ETCH A SKETCH (A THIN RECTANGULAR BOX FILLED WITH SAND THAT HAS TWO KNOBS, THAT MOVE A STYLUS, WHICH CREATES LINES THAT CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER AND FORMS PICTURES. TO CLEAR THE ETCH A SKETCH, SOMETHING SHAKES IT, AND THE PICTURE DISAPPEARS).

BEFORE THE UNIVERSE TURNED THE KNOBS, THERE WERE NO PICTURE, NO FORMS, NO DUALITY, NO KARMA, NOTHING, NOTHING BUT POTENTIAL. BUT THAT DIDN’T LAST LONG. THE UNIVERSE STARTING TURNING THE KNOBS AND HERE WE ARE, TEMPORARY LINES THAT BECAME FORMS, THAT LAST UNTIL THE UNIVERSE SHAKES THE ETCH A SKETCH AND WIPES ITSELF OUT (CLEARS THE ETCH A SKETCH SCREEN) AND STARTS OVER. TODAY, A USEFUL METAPHOR FOR THE UNIVERSE (OR CREATION) IS COMPUTER, THE SCREEN UPON WHICH APPEARS PICTURES OF YOU AND ME AND EVERYTHING ELSE, TEMPORARILY.

=======================================================================

ANOTHER USEFUL METAPHOR, IS SPACE, A SCREEN, A PLACE, WHEREIN THE UNIVERSE ETCHES TEMPORARY PICTURES TO VIEW ITSELF, TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE ITS OWN POTENTIAL.

=======================================================================

YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE. AND YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE TEMPORARILY BEING YOU, AND ALSO BEING EVERY PERSON, PLACE, AND THING, TEMPORARILY. WHEN THE UNIVERSE STOPS BEING THINGS, THERE’S NOTHING, NO THING BUT POTENTIAL. SO YOU COULD SAY, “YOU” ARE POTENTIAL (POTENTIALLY SPEAKING).

=======================================================================

WHEN I (THE UNIVERSE)( AM IN A UNIVERSAL STATE OF MIND, I LOOK AT PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS AND I SEE MYSELF (THE UNIVERSE) BEING PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS.

=======================================================================

WHEN I (THE UNIVERSE) AM IN A PERSONAL STATE OF MIND, I VIEW LIFE FROM A TEMPORARY PERSONAL PERSONA PERSPECTIVE. WHEREVER I PUT MY ATTENTION, WHATEVER I FOCUS ON, THERE I AM, AND I AM THAT. AND SOMETIMES, I JUST AM, THE ETCH A SKETCH, THE COMPUTER, THE SCREEN, JUST POTENTIAL.

=======================================================================

SOMETIMES I AM EVERYTHING, SOMETIMES SOMETHING, SOMETIMES NO THING, DEPENDS ON MY MOOD.

=======================================================================

AS FOR YOU (WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU BECAUSE YOU FORGOT YOU ARE ME, THE UNIVERSE, BEING YOU) THE DILEMMA OF METAPHORICAL PRONOUNS BECOMES VERY CONFUSING AND EXASPERATES WHAT IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE, IF I DIDN’T EXIST, YOU WOULDN’T EXIST, AND SINCE I EXIST, YOU EXIST. THE END.
