Chapter 29 -- The Underground River as Metaphor
I think that visual art is part and parcel of many people, another UNDERGROUND STREAM
flowing through their life. The more you learn to see, the more you can tap into the
UNDERGROUND STREAM. -- Jeannine Cook, "Art, an UNDERGROUND STREAM flowing
through life," internet posting, 2009
Belief
Mr. Thompson's feel for the tangle of beliefs and resentments in the "the UNDERGROUND
RIVER of New Age ideas" is exemplary. -- "The End of Time, Faith and Fear in the Shadow of
the Millennium," The Economist, December 7, 1996
Being
The musicality of being is the silence which holds all knowledge.
It is the quiet pool at twilight, free of ripples and full with the moon's reflection.
It is the breathing of a quiet forest, whose creatures are at rest.
It is the water of an UNDERGROUND RIVER, which flows towards the sunlight.
It is the perfect white vase, empty yet full. -- The Shakti of Aksobhya (Buddhist)
Communication
The power to communicate thought is nearly as important as thought itself. What is more vain
than for a man to draw from the clear mountain springs of knowledge, and then flow through
the world, a SUBTERRANEAN STREAM? -- P.E. More, An Apostrophe (1897)
Connection
They speak to us of the UNDERGROUND RIVERS that connect us, building a foundation of
relationships at the center of our processes -- Michelle LeBaron, Bridging Troubled Waters,
Conflict Resolution from the Heart (2002)
Biography, even autobiography, is full of systemic error, of holes that connect like a tangle of
UNDERGROUND STREAMS. -- Carol Shields, The Stone Diaries (1994)
Consciousness
Think of it like a tree whose roots go down deep and tap into our ultimate source -- an
UNDERGROUND RIVER of soul consciousness that exists beyond time and space and also
beneath our deepest fears (the unified Field). -- Allen L. Roland, "Newsletter, Spirituality,"
internet posting, June 2001
Constance
Of deeper import still, like an UNDERGROUND RIVER, there ran a limpid flow of native songs
attuned to the genius of the people. -- K.M. George, Western Influence on Malayalam
Language and Literature (1972)
Yet throughout the twenty-four songs and seventy-two slokas, the thread of deep devotion runs
like a SUBTERRANEAN STREAM. -- Subas Pani, "A Two-Part Study of Jayadeva's
Glorification of Sri Krsna in His Jagannatha Manifestation," internet posting, 2009
The conception of the cosmos as the mechanism of self-expression for the infinite has flowed
through all ages of thought LIKE A SUBTERRANEAN STREAM. -- Helen F. Dunbar,
Symbolism in Medieval Thought and Its Consummation in "The Divine Comedy" (1929)
"German Art in the 20th Century," the huge show of some 300 works by 52 artists that has
been the talk of London since it opened at the Royal Academy in October, has a clear agenda.
It wants to prove something, and that something is continuity, from 1905 to 1985... The image
stream of German expressionism went UNDERGROUND, but not even Nazism could dry it up.
It is the deep, continuous current of German modernism. -- Robert Hughes, "Tracing the
Underground Stream. In London, a Major but Uneven Survey of German Modernism," Time,
December 23, 1985
