*gently, drawing on his experiences of peoples' religious beliefs throughout history* If these strings do indicate attachment and desire, it might comfort you to consider yours as reaching not toward a symbol, but directly seeking the Infinite. Not to offer any certain answer, but isn't that what faith is all about?
... That is a really interesting viewpoint! I hadn't even thought of that, but you could really be right! Thank you, professor. Does that mean it could conceivably end somewhere beyond the earth, then...?
That depends on your theological perspective -- if God is immanent, or everywhere, or specifically in Heaven, or what have you -- but it is certainly conceivable.
I do always feel as if He is with me in spirit, but also believe in His presence in heaven as well, so perhaps there's a string leading there... and maybe even a string I can't see within me!
... That probably sounds relatively crazy, but that's okay... it wouldn't be the first time, heh...
Maybe! If you have a spiritual advisor -- in the religious sense -- you may have some questions for him next time you talk. Saintliness would not be so prized if it were easy to come by, but that makes it no less worth seeking.
