zonder bus...

>>Lay off the acid for a while. I think it has impaired your brain to the point where you cannot think metaphorically anymore.

I was not actually talking about a real bus, Fred. Can you understand that?>>

I understood you weren't talking about a physical bus. But does this make it any less "real" for everything corresponds and is connected with everything else. The thought of a "bus" has a direct spiritual correspondence with a physical bus for that's where the form that gave birth to the word "bus" exists.

This model from Emanuel Swedenborg is really very simple:

1) End/Source - Inner, head, celestial heaven.....GOD
2) Cause - middle, body, spiritual heaven.......SPIRIT

3) Effect - lower, feet, material heaven...........SON

So we have this...

...............GOD / END / CREATOR
.............SPIRIT / CAUSE / THOUGHT
................SON / EFFECT / BUS

Your comment about "getting off the bus" smacked of being in the wrong order - this Wizard of Oz order - which you were acknowledging: 1) BUS 1) THOUGHT 3) CREATOR - or Effect, Cause, End - in which "the effect" proceeds forth through the Cause to control an End.

I don't want anyone to think/believe they are inside anybody's "bus" or Castle which they have to get off or out of.

I also know this sounds pretty silly, but I understand were you are coming from and had to respond.

Thanks for sharing Zonder!!

Peace and God Bless!
