“Stop judging it by the cover, how would you feel if everyone judged you by the color of your hair? I promise it's a great book, Caitlin. I hear this from my mother all the time. I remember a particular moment when my mother told me this, when she was trying to get me interested in reading a book at age 7. I couldn't care less about a stupid book, all I wanted to do was dance in the backyard. like a princess while eating my chocolate chips with my friends, the fireflies. I didn't want to read a book about a girl sitting in a field with her cat, that would just be boring. But in fact my mother convinced me to read it... obviously by bribing me with more chocolate chips. Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, is the story of a young girl, who is shown when she leads Alice down the rabbit hole in Wonderland and in Alice trying to find it throughout the story, just as we try to find the truth in all our lives. . The White Rabbit also serves as the Queen's herald and always tells the truth even if he contradicts others. Another character Alice encounters that Swedenborg wrote about is the Caterpillar. Swedenborg writes, a caterpillar symbolizes the evil contained in it, a caterpillar produces what is dirty (7643, 8481). The Caterpillar in the story represents the evil within himself and is an impure character in the sense that he is smoking a pipe; smoke portrays the falsity of evil (2851). The Caterpillar's actions in the story are very disturbing and he is portrayed as a somewhat rude character. But at the end of the story we learn that all of Alice's adventures were only in a dream. This means that the idea of ​​dreams comes from evil spirits, but they are buffered or even completely modified by good spirits. But in the Arcana Celestia it is said: From these considerations it is clear that dreams of this type, as well as visions, come from heaven, with the difference that dreams take place when the body is asleep, visions when it is not (AC 1975). This says something different than the other selection. This quote says that dreams come from the Lord and have the same good spiritual meaning as visions. This is comparable to Alice, because even though her dream had some unkind characters in the story, she was never hurt and always enjoyed new adventures; she too finally woke up in her loving sister's lap in time for tea. Alice in Wonderland is a dream that contains evils, but the other characters overpower them
