Analogy in everything.

The use of Analogy has a prevailing universality found ubiquitously in all cultures and minds. 
I can recall many analogies my parents have told me from axioms in our Persian heritage:
Proverbs, sayings, stories, quick verses, epic poems, & folk songs.
There are some things that can only be described and understood with analogies
because of the expressive and expressible way they carry inexpressible ideas.

Analogies convey profound depths of meaning which transcend into vast dimensions of comprehension;
An analogy transmits a comprehensive scope of information that consists of 
multiple implications which are connected together 
through a nexus of associated meaning. 
Inherent associations between the implications 
allow for the synchronized transfer of multiple meanings.
An analogy is the multifaceted amalgamation of coalesced implications -
converging to form into one unified implication.
Throughout the fiber of Analogy, a connective thread is pervasively infused -
linking all the meanings together to form the overall meaning.

Symbols are analogies that exemplify 
the simultaneous transfer of numerous implications: 
“A picture says a thousand words.”
An image can be the symbol of an entire story, 
A story can be the symbol of an entire lifetime.

Analogy is the channeling of meanings 
into an expressible & graspable medium 
through which an array of inexpressible & ungraspable implications can thus be expressed & grasped.
When we express an implication that we can grasp, 
the deeper inexpressible implications that are connected by associated meaning are thus also expressed
When we grasp an implication that can be expressed, 
the associated ungraspable implications can be grasped.  

*The magic of Analogy :
Expressing what can be grasped
Allows for the expression of the inexpressible.
 Grasping what can be expressed 
Allows for the grasping of the ungraspable.



Any & All Art is Analogy.
All of Life has correlation.
Every bit of life has meaning. 
Every moment. Every person, place, situation…
There is Analogy in everything throughout all nature and all states of being – Waking & Dreaming… 
The most intricately meaningful metaphors are in dreams.
.
A Metaphor consists of many micro-implications that converge to form the overall macro-implication.
Life consists of many micro-metaphors that converge to form the overall macro-metaphor(s) of our Lives.

The grasping of a micro-implication leads to the grasping of macro-implications.
To grasp a micro-metaphor leads to the grasping of Life's macro-metaphor(s).
