Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2005

Only 25 years ago, stories were thought to be only for children and old people. “Serious” people studied science–for the facts. As it turns out, we don’t live in a world of facts. We live in worlds of meaning, in worlds of myth and metaphor, made by our imaginations. Through a lively mix of lecture, demonstration, exercises and lots of metaphors and stories, Charles will guide you through these worlds and around The Mythic Wheel of Life. You’ll learn how your personal Living Metaphors™ are part of a deeper and natural order in the very structure of your unconscious mind. You’ll learn how this structure shapes your dreads and desires, and how it combines with time to create the seasons of your life. With a conscious appreciation of this deep structure found in everyone’s imagination, you’ll see how myths and metaphors are being expressed all around you, and gain new and exciting ways to create living change for yourself and others. CD 1: Metaphors, Time and Imagination How the world we really live in is in our imagination. The meta-metaphors of life. How our unconscious metaphors determine our dreads and desires.
