I googled it. It said pretty much all religions use them. Simile or analogy are close I think. Metaphor too. |

I would say more the ego has a hold of me --like if I'm angry at someone or
it's encouraging me to have
another piece of triple chocolate cake.
I can take it's fingers, one by one, off me, tho.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
