MetaphorMetaphor & Project SanctuaryContrary to public opinion, metaphor is not a form of linear language, just using "funny words" instead of "real words". Neither is metaphor the "language of the unconscious mind". Metaphor is the place where the conscious mind meets the data stream of the energy mind, and where both may communicate in a fashion. Metaphors arise from the internal representations we make naturally because we are human beings, and we think in terms of rivers and mountains, wolves and tigers, trees and flowers. We don't "think" the word m-o-u-n-t-a-i-n, we see/hear/feel/sense/scent/touch/experience the reality of being somewhere and experiencing being in the presence of a mountain, when we "think" or "talk" of a mountain. Metaphor arises naturally when we seek to describe experience and internal representations, and the only way to understand metaphor is to turn the w-o-r-d-s BACK into internal experiences, then we understand them. Understanding the language of metaphor is THE one single human skill which, if mastered, will absolutely guarantee that you get to understand people, societies, structures, symbols, systems and eventually, even yourself. 
Do you know what a masterpiece is? Let yourself adjust with this metaphor teaching story by Silvia Hartmann
I wrote the story "Witch Proud" this afternoon and a little while later, went to bed, still in that state the story does describe, evoke, whatever one might call it.
Think metaphor is random silly stuff done by people who aren't clever enough to think clearly? Limited to religious or hippie types? Not real hard information? Well, then think again.. Metaphor is an information transmission device which is exponentially more *information dense* than linear thought expression and indeed, one cannot actually get by in the n-complex systemics of the human mind or energy system without speaking this information rich super-language. Here is a teaching example as to what happens when someone takes a metaphor, namely the "Snow Globe" from the EMO technique of the same nature, and translates it into the "more sensible sounding" format of linear thought and calls them a "Thought Ball" - and just HOW MUCH would be lost in doing so.
Be careful before you mess with metaphor! Why metaphor is the one and only true language of all humankind Silvia Hartmann You're welcome to share my sanctuary story. In short, I asked for a representation of abundance in all things material (and specifically money). Up came a vast field of buttercups, golden in the sun.
