Metaphors of life.

A metaphor is a literary figure of speech that uses an image, story or tangible thing to represent a less tangible thing or some intangible quality or idea.
Examples:
• "Her eyes were glistening jewels.",
• ” She was a hippo compared to her aunt.”,
• ” The sun opened its sleepy eyes and smiled down on the Earth as a new day began.”

Do you stand on your principles? Beside them? Behind them?
What if someone pulls the rug from under you.

Where do you stand on your health, relationships, family or business?

Jesus taught in parables. A parable is a short tale that illustrates universal truth, one of the simplest of narratives. It sketches a setting, describes an action, and shows the results. It often involves a character facing a moral dilemma, or making a questionable decision and then suffering the consequences. Though the meaning of a parable is often not explicitly stated, the meaning is not usually intended be hidden or secret but on the contrary quite straightforward and obvious. “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed...” (Mark 4:30-31).
How do you see God?

Are you disconnected?
Do you need to be reconnected?




Is someone above looking out for you?




What about the “Fall From Grace”?
“Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.”
Sitting on the wall of indecision, giving in to our fears, stops our growth as human and spiritual beings.
It wasn’t just a “great fall.” It was a “GREAT FALL!”
This is the “fall from grace”, the descent into darkness.
The ego must be shattered for us to enter the light of spirituality.





Do you go against the flow?
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
The song has been used extensively in popular culture, often to reflect existential questions about reality, reflecting issues about the need for self discovery.





How do you view the Christ within?




"The Metaphysics of Separation and Forgiveness" is an edited recording of the one-day workshop conducted by Kenneth Wapnick at the Foundation's Institute and Retreat Center in February 1992. This presentation summarizes the Course's teachings, specifically addressing how the metaphysical principle that the thought of separation and the physical world are illusory becomes the foundation for true forgiveness. http://facim.org/excerpts/mpseries.htm

Stand on, beside or behind your principles and values. Whatever best works for you.

You can also stand on, beside or behind health, family, business, social or personal. What ever works best for you.

But stand on Faith.
