Life on the Inside

It has become cliche to use the term thinking outside the box. This youngster has gone one better. By that i mean " what box ? thinking. The great imaginative or intellectual types or even street smart thinkers have no box. Outside the box thinkers are great, but they are not at the level of a " what box ? thinker ".
Just an i observation.

I see a good future for that young boy; he's learning to "think outside the box". Most great contributors to society had and have that quality. Good luck to him because throughout history, many great scientists ran into mucho trouble with authorities when thinking outside the box, the great Galileo, born in Italy in 1564, being a classic example.

The apple also serves as the four levels of Torah/Pardes : Skin/pshat, pulp/remez, core/drush and seeds/sod.

It also serves as a metaphor of the four worlds:
Skin /asiyah, pulp/yetzirah, core / beriah, and seeds Atzilut. You could go one step further to inside the seed/keter.

i made these up for a brief lesson on my mother's Yahrzeit. One usually uses the onion metaphor. It's pretty good since it alludes to the myriad levels, layers within layers. The apple one keeps it a bit more simplified/organized for me. I do appreciate that there are myriad leevls to the apple metaphor as well.
Just a thought.
