A spoonful of Symbolic Modelling“Metaphor is the ‘language’ of the unconscious mind, and metaphoric language is

a side-effect of metaphoric thought. Not only spoken or written language but also sights, sounds, sensations in various places in the body, smells, tastes - just about any sensory experience can become a metaphor, and so can our memory of an experience. We also make use of other contexts for our metaphors: nature, other people, machines, space, time, etc.”

SULLIVAN, W. & REES, J. (2008) Clean Language: Revealing Metaphors and Opening Minds

"Metaphor, that's how the whole fabric of mental interconnections holds together. Metaphor is right at the bottom of being alive."

Gregory BatesonCAPRA, F. (1988)

Uncommon Wisdom: Conversations with remarkable people

Metaphor – Modelling – Clean Language



DOMAINS OF EXPERIENCE: Conceptual - Sensory - Metaphoric

”The essence of metaphor is understanding one thing in terms of another.

Metaphor is not just a matter of language, that is, of mere words… On the contrary, human thought processes are largely metaphorical.

This is what we mean when we say that the human conceptual system is metaphorically structured and defined.

Metaphors as linguistic expressions are possible precisely because they are metaphors in a person’s conceptual system.”

LAKOFF, G. JOHNSON, M. (1980)Metaphors We Live By
