Jesus As Sun Warmth
a: Jesus energy ~
b: the warmth of the Sun
What: "God has been described as the sun, the heat and light radiating from the sun and the warmth we feel when we step out into the sunlight. The three are all one and the same. The sun represents God the Father who is constantly radiating energy out into space. That energy is like Jesus filling the universe and the warmth we feel is like the Holy Spirit who is the manifestation of that energy that we experience on earth. The analogy falls down in many respects but does give us a picture of three distinct and different aspects of the one thing."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy
and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
