Analogy of Being

The Analogy of Being is a philosophical concept suggesting that everything in the universe—from rocks to humans—is interconnected and reflects a divine or higher reality. It posits that created things mirror aspects of this ultimate source, like branches of a tree reflecting the whole. This analogy helps us understand our place in the cosmos, emphasizing that all existence is linked and that understanding ourselves can lead to a deeper understanding of the divine or the fundamental nature of reality.
