A fish sleeps and dreams as if it were a man and lived on land. The awakening of the mind turns a man into a fish. Reality is a reflection in the mirror of the ocean. In the depths of the ocean lives a fish that looks at the underside of the mirror and fantasizes about how to get out on land and take over the world.
Of many human passions, fishing is perhaps one of the most useful for spirit and body. Fishing teaches patience, grants peace and joy, pleasure and excitement, providing, therewith, the time to think about life and routine matters. Fishing is an excellent meditation.
Fish are caught in nets because nets do not exist in the mind of the fish. Fish don't believe in nets. The image of nets is not displayed in the consciousness of fishes.
Man does not live in the cave of his mind. Man is a fish that lives under water and from under the water looks at the real world. The border and the waves significantly distort the vision of reality from under the water.
Separating the wheat from the chaff is fishing. The fish that is caught in the net of sins and vices is the chaff. The fish whose shepherd is Jesus will be saved. Salvation in Christ means becoming part of the fish school of the Church and escaping the temptations of the devil together.
The Kingdom of heaven is like a net, and the disciples of Jesus are fishermen, fishers of men... Sinners are fish, I don't think the sinners of nothing but pleasures and vices. Christians feed on sinners, slaves to their pleasures.
The goal, as such, is not important, it is only a source of movement. When the wheel of Samsara turns, the task is to catch intermediate targets as a fisherman catches a fish.
Metaphorically, trade is fishing. Sinners should be caught for their sins and vices. Sinners are well caught in greed, avarice, lust, gluttony, and various remedies for infernal suffering.
The symbol of Jesus is this fish. The man is a fish. The vices of it's hooks and nets. If you fish, you should avoid the nets, hooks, freebies, idols and other mandula.
The metaphor for turning water into wine is turning hell into heaven. We fish live in water, but we don't see our world. To turn water into wine means to love the world around you.
Is love true? Love is networks. In whose hands are these nets and whom are they catching? Buddha spoke of giving up desires, and the symbol of Jesus was the fish. Who and whom catches in networks?
Humility is when you ignore something that isn't there. A lie is something that doesn't exist. Perfection is something that doesn't exist. The ideal is what is not. Black is something that isn't. 99% of being is something that isn't there. 99% of the parts are not. The network consists of 1% of what is and 99% of what is not.
Humility is the realization that one can fall into the net of sin through no fault of one's own. The devil is a gambling poacher who does not disdain anything. Moreover, the highest diabolical arbitrariness was the idea of breeding fish on farms.
In vain you wish to make your life easier. Lightness breeds fear and paranoia. We are deep-sea fish, if a person is pulled to the surface, it will literally tear from fear into pieces.
Fish, you caught on the game and the phone, fun and entertainment, movies and TV shows, money, food and dreams of a beautiful life... You have not eaten, but the gills have already taken you and now you're a horse…
Yin and Yang are the boundary between the ocean and the sky. The border between past and future. The border is called now, at the edge of which living fish is the consciousness of man that is afraid to fall in the sky. And there live birds that catch fish, these are those who are not afraid of the future and know how to plan it well. In the depths of the ocean live the demons of the past, sometimes they eat dumb fish, diving deeper into the past than necessary. And in the past there is a coral Paradise, it is happiness that always lives in the past.
Peering into the image of the siren, you will notice that it attracts the attention of fear. And you will notice that this animal fear is the product of a half-animal, half-man, half-woman, half-fish.
Fish attacked in a shoal, and the biggest one even jumped out of water - that's how it wanted to eat… I was like a god, standing keeping feed above the water and made them jump. The biggest fish jumped well and high, knocking the feed out of hands…
That's why it was the biggest, and lazy small fry remained hungry…
A real man is a solid man who has found solid ground under his feet and lives in the garden of Eden on the island. Man lives on the outer edge of hardness, in the territory of the future. The future is air. Angels are those who know the future. But there are people who unconsciously and unsteady in his principles of reason, these people are fish, they live underwater, they are not human, because they are irrational and live in the power of illusions and feelings. Fish are different. People eat fish, fish is a tasty and healthy food.
Fish very much dream of Paradise. Stupid fish are very jealous of a Man living on a Paradise island. Fish also want to live as human beings. Fish thrown on the shore, fish jumping in the network. Pisces are ignorant, they do not know that it takes a long time to evolve and work on themselves to get out of the ocean to the ground. Fish don't know that Paradise is full of predators. Fish do not believe that gills and lack of legs is a big problem. Pisces is extremely stupid.
It's barely promising to ask someone of something. Live-bait fishing is a much more promising thing to do. A hook and a bait… Our task is to find out yummy baits. Fish can't be asked to swallow the hook but it can be done by using a bait.
Nothing will ever be really easy. Besides, lower pressure can be dangerous. Remember, that a deepsea fish taken to the shore can be easily crushed by the unbalanced inner pressure.
Given that atoms are liquid, we are, in fact, always surrounded by liquid in different States. Ocean is liquid. Atmosphere-liquid. Solid matter is also liquid, and even vacuum and light are also liquid. And you yourself are more like a fish than a higher intelligence. Man is the Supreme intelligence, the electric essence existing in the world of water.
If one sees the ocean as similar to the brain, where plankton plays the role of neurons. Which role do fishes play here? - Maybe fishes are neutrons and plankton is nutrients in blood.
Inside the neurotic lives a lump of contradictions, which, on the one hand, turns his life into hell, and on the other - his source of energy. Weak and not trained neurotic, unable to control this jet scream inside yourself turns into a schizophrenic whose time is devoted to the suppression of these contradictions, which make it literally breaks. The lump came from fear, to contain fear. A neurotic is a fish living in the depths of an ocean of fear. Vanity and pride save the neurotic Self from being destroyed by fear. The problem is that if you remove pride, fear will destroy the unfortunate, and if you remove fear, it will tear from pride. It takes gradual decompression and very hard goals to change fear to work. Work and dreams are as hard as fear.
An oppressed person who breaks from bonds of the oppression, resembles a deepsea fish taken to the shore as it can be easily crushed by the outside pressure.
A neurotic is a person living in a reflection on water. A neurotic is a fish living on the past side of the mirror of reality, and a normal person lives on land, where the future is.
In the tale of the goldfish, we see a metaphor for the unity of good and evil. The kindest man, an old man, caught a goldfish and let it go, for which he deserved a plus in karma. The old woman, the personification of evil, is not capable of such a thing, she would never catch a fish, would not let it go and did not deserve three wishes. The Union of good and evil allowed to catch good luck and benefit from it. Everything would be fine if it weren't for greed and stupidity.
"Between the devil and the blue sea" is a metaphor for a razor blade. We humans live on the coast, between past and future, darkness and light, hell and Paradise. The mountains give us rain, the sea-fish. We cannot live in hell or Paradise, but both are the basis of our lives.
