what's a model for ?




Well, what's a model for - 

if not to lead to 'meta'?

to actualize some more

potential, or see better.


A flag-ship phone's new model

tries to do a better job.

A model of a building

might be, before it's built..

might be to test the look

or function of roof tilt,

or just to show to others

what's in mind of architect.


A metaphor's a model

meant to lead us into more

that's realer, better, truer,

else what is a 'meta' for?


And every day I use them

when I say "This food's divine!",

or hear "Look out!", or choose when

to "Look into …" what's mine.


"Some matter to be looked at", 

works for humans- you, and me,

when the matter can't be patted

we're talking abstractly


To "Look into some matter"

works for humans- me, and you,

the speaker and the act-er 

bring about what humans do.




And strangely, there this morning

waking up within my tent,

I saw, and felt a warning,

to act as one who's been sent


to live, to move, to walk this way 

of metaphoric acts,

and see that I look through today 

or go through them in fact.


If metaphors are windows,

then too, they could be doors.

but if I never look, or go, 

through them, to me they're walls.


I'll just be left imagining,

and never knowing true.

It's like I've been caught in a dream,

or nightmare, sometimes too.




Article on concrete thinking, and abstract thinking, which outines (in a concrete way) some of the (more concrete) possibilities, of the understanding and use of metaphor, which is a part of abstract thinking.

OLD TO NEW WORLD VIEW



Despite that science tells us "This world is

not what it seems on outside, to the feel,

with layers upon layers forming things",

I still believe that our ol' world is real.


Our scientific story tells us that

despite what we all see here (think we "know"),

there's layers of "community" which mat

together, and which interleave.. (quite so):《1


Inside, within each body, making up

the living ones, are individu'l "cells",

or living creatures that can be corrupt-

ed, or combined to make a host where dwells


the multicelled "community" we see

that's planted right before us "on" (or "in")

our ground of being. Even you and me.

And these can be disrupted or can win!


The ways that these communities would seize

things 'round about to aid their tiny parts,

to work together: shelter, feed, and ease

their life, to bring a thriving from their starts,


are called in this Our world "to feed", & "clothe

and shelter", self or fam'ly, other lives.

The old words from Our world that covered both

are "love", & then there's "peace"- which meant "life thrives".


But smaller yet, each body that exists,

of rocks, or gasses, animals or plants;

(and irrespective of "life" tagged to its

existence as an entity, per chance..)


is made of smaller atoms, molecules,

or other things that kind of are like "seas".

But smaller yet (these aren't just words of fools)

are forces "circling", balancing with ease.


Where either particles or waves "impart"

existence to those higher levels too.

But here we haven't even made a start

on bigger things, like Galaxies and U-


ni-verse, or other categ'ries rehearsed,

like Supernova, Nebulae, and Giants,

Dwarves, and other stars that shoot and burst,

to cook up compounds, elements and ions


from which all of the rest can start to "be".

Invisible dimensions in this way

we start to understand, and maybe "see"

within our "mind's eye" - as they used to say.


But still our story makes more sense, or less

of all dimensions we've encountered here,

since we were born - to order and to mess,

with this ol' world. - And this is where I cheer


myself as I move on, and others too.

The world we "started" in, that let us learn

about dimensions and these worlds that you

have just now been reminded of, don't spearn!


The story that's apparent: God made this

whole world with more dimensions than you'd poke

at with a stick, does not seem so remiss

and starts to look less like it was a joke!


"The best is yet to come", as AA found

in fact, through living in this re-al world.

And there's a higher power hanging round

to see if we would reach out and be curled


within the love of biggest Dad, or Mum,

and let the Great Creator's fam-il-y

look after us and grow us, and then some..

towards more of a nature that is free


to love back, as we have ourselves been loved.

And that's why most religions in this world

admire, and think good-life was surely gloved

within the life, that we have mostly hurled


our insults at, and blamed him for our faults

and misdemeanours, laziness, and such.

It's him I would commend to you. Us dolts,

we killed the model human God loved much -


the second Adarm (and would kill his Eve,

that God brings from him while he's "not around").

In jealousy and ignorance, we'd weave

a net to catch them yet, like beasts been found


and named. So if you ask me to I'll tell

the story of the glory of God "THERE",

who loves his kids, and wants them to do well,

take on creative love, and learn to share.
