This is what makes a psychological connection. The natural world is taken apart and rearranged in our imaginations to reveal the supernatural, unconscious, hidden wisdom that could guide us to higher states of consciousness. which express different attributes and dimensions of the hidden energies. The unique combination of these real things when brought together create the characters, gods, Shangri-las, haunted houses, and real people, etc. They are all made of real things that have been taken apart and artistically rearranged to represent these hidden truths. The same is true of all fantastic creatures and real characters that we meet in story.
It has the head of a camel, the horns of a deer, the eyes of a rabbit, the teeth of a lion, the ears of a cow, the neck of a snake, the belly of a frog, the scales of a carp, the claws of a hawk, and the padded palms of a tiger. Which is to say, story metaphors are made of real things that have been taken apart and artistically rearranged to represent these hidden truths.Ī certain Chinese dragon, for instance, which represents some of these unconscious creative energies, is made up of bits and pieces from a variety of other real animals. In this case, to use every day, visible, real things that are artistically treated to describe these invisible, unconscious patterns of energy. To describe something that is unknown by the use of things that are known. To describe one thing by means of another. Metaphor literally means to "carry over," to substitute one thing for another. Guided and prompted by the creative unconscious self, the hidden wisdom that is stored in the creative unconscious as energy is transformed in our imaginations into visual images, characters, actions and events that reveal intriguing details concerning who we really are and passages that we can follow to achieve the higher states of being and awareness. When sorted into story structures, patterns and motifs, these unique story metaphors are revealed as the secret language of great stories. If the great story is one of the ways the creative unconscious communicates with us, how does it manage that? By using special and unique story metaphors.
I will also begin describing the extraordinary things the great stories are telling us about ourselves. In this story course article, I will continue this discussion and talk about the secret language that empowers a great story while it reveals the wisdom inherent in the creative unconscious self. In the previous article I talked about the creative unconscious self, the important role it plays in the creation of great stories and the important role it plays in our lives.
