Metaphorology
How To Expand Your Thinking And Change Your Life
Haven't heard of metaphorology?
Here's my definition: The study
and conscious use of metaphors as a "thinking technology,"
as well as a kind of "science of personal transformation."
You can consciously change the way you think, the way you experience
life, and the way you respond to life by using different metaphors.
The bottom line? A better understanding that leads to better
results.
The purpose of the Metaphorology
web site? To show you how to tap into the power of metaphors.
Bookmark this page and return soon (the site is a work in progress)
to learn more about the transformational power of metaphors.
In the meantime, here are some of the current pages.

am James Bond." If you adopt this metaphor of yourself as
James Bond, and play along with it for a moment, you'll notice
that...
Metaphor of the Month
The Box - The box is the classic metaphor for the conditions
and ideas which limit our thinking. Hence the expression, "out
of the box thinking," which refers to creative thought that
goes beyond the conventional. See that your own ideas really
do create a "box" in which you are mentally confined,
and you can start to see the ways out of this. Imagine the interior
of this box painted with your view of the world. Are you not
often looking at these painted walls and taking them to be the
reality outside of them? Get out of the box! |
The
Metaphors We Live By
- The metaphors we live by include life as a journey, a game,
a dream, and a movie. But how do these metaphorical perspectives
affect our actions and our lives? Here's a look at a few of them,
