WE ARE METAPHORICALLY SWAMPED IN METAPHORS
#WeaponizedHypnosis 8
We think we are literal creatures but we are not.
We are metaphorical beings.
We think in metaphors and are able to understand analogies.
The parables of Aesop and Jesus are analogies.
Jesus told analogies so well that he would infuriate his enemies. He made them up on the spot. Only a very adult mind can do that.
Using metaphors is not unusual or relegated only for the snobbish Harvard-educated classes.
We speak in metaphors constantly.
“That’s really cool”
“She’s hot”
“Blow off steam”
“Deeply rooted beliefs”
“Dive into the weeds”
“Burning bridges”
“I have a frog in my throat”
We insert them into our daily language and yet nobody is confused – except when they read them in the Bible, then they become an excuse to start a denomination. We use a metaphor about every 10 seconds.
Here is an interesting one:
“Get off my back”
“Vlez mi nazada”
“Get off my ass”
In Czech, “Vlez mi nazada” actually means, “Climb ON my back” and yet everyone knows all 3 of these metaphors mean the exact same thing.
The words may differ but the meanings of the metaphors remain the same across time.
Why?
As our vocabulary is constantly changing…
“Me thinks thou protesteth too much”
Means
“You’re lying”
Ability to relate is what gives us the ability to think abstract thoughts.
We were made in the image of God.
Those thoughts pass over into our dream states. Without this ability we could not design rocket engines or houses. This is why animals do not do these things. They are not creative. Their language lacks metaphors entirely.
But if you deprive a human of the ability or the desire to think in metaphors you turn him into an animal. This is what they have done.
A man must be able to trust his ability to create and interpret metaphors.
If he cannot he becomes almost an animal.
He is no better than that dog that got whacked with the newspaper.
After the dog begins to fear newspapers, what if his owner whacks him with a Louisville Slugger or a wrench? The dog begins to fear any object that the human is carrying. What if the human hits him with his hand or kicks him? Soon the dog is afraid of any human, whether he is carrying anything or not, even if the human just wants to love him. He might even proactively attack every human he sees.
That is schizophrenia. The dog is unable to interpret the intentions of humans. He might send mixed signals by growling and then wagging his tail seconds later. Rescue dogs are often like this. This is also what repeated abuse does to a human when he cannot process metaphors. It is accelerated with double binds.
If you are unsure what I mean by “Schizophrenia” you may want to be sure -because it is not what you assume it is.
Or look up Gregory Bateson’s work Toward A Theory Of Schizophrenia.
The best ideas about a field come from outside it. Bateson was an anthropologist.
People age, they can’t help it. Their minds ripen into something splendid.
The Schizophrenic’s mind doesn’t age as much as it actually rots like a possum on the side of a road.
The #ChildEgoState that I keep referring to is unnaturally perpetuated by a schizophrenia which is caused by exposure to repeated lies that are told generationally disguised as truth.
This repetition by parents (and people you should be able to trust) causes unreality tunnels (or incorrect confirmation biases) to form in entire nations. Anyone who tries to use reason is frustrated into catalepsy. So they have to become shallow zombies that are easily controlled by witchdoctors otherwise they will lose their minds.
So here is the conclusion.
Think about this.
The breakdown of the family is not being caused by loose morality. The loose morality is a symptom. It is the symptom of hypocrisy. Schizophrenics see all inconsistent metacommunication as hypocrisy. And they hear everyone doing it. So they just join in the fun by talking in seemingly obscure metaphors.
As I have pointed out before the worst of the normie zombies and drug addicts are probably those who were once the most perceptive souls. They have tuned out and given up on the rest of us long ago.
Most people are functional schizos that are hypnotized into enjoying their mental state. They think it is normal. It is… today. But it wasn’t always so.
Too much at one time?
OK
I have highlighted in bold most of the metaphors in this post to highlight my point.
We process them so easily we do not notice that they make no sense like the Spanish phrases, “Me nombre es Pedro. Mucha gusta hombre.” My number is Pete. Very nice to taste you, stranger.

METAPHORS OF TIME TRAVEL #WeaponizedHypnosis 9 Why do we think we are literal beings? I found in the last post that it became quite difficult to underline the metaphors. I was no longer certain where the metaphor stopped and the literalness began. Metaphors are crucial to understanding how we are manipulated.
