"A fortune teller (also called a cootie catcher, chatterbox, salt cellar, or whirlybird,), is a form of origami used in children's fortune-telling games"

I thought most children outgrew them.

"The archetype concept - Jung writes - derives from the often repeated observation that myths and universal literature stories contain well defined themes which appear every time and everywhere. We often meet these themes in the fantasies, dreams, delirious ideas and illusions of persons living nowadays."

I have his complete works, for an ebook project,
however, the problem is, he had no idea of what "well defined" means.

If he had, grammar would actually be taught today.

And anyone is pretentious who believes they can do anything in the realm of psychology, yet not know the first principles of reason itself.

One studies the so called giants of psychology, for the examples of psychological dysfunction they portray.

The color represents how you perceive yourself, the animal how you perceive others, the body of water how you view your sex life, and the room is a representation of your death.

See what I mean? One cannot even distinguish the difference between perception and conception. Oh well.

Principles of metaphor.

Metaphor is a direct derivative of definition.

Since one naming convention is equated to another, names of things to the names of that things forms and the various material differences in those forms, then, one finds intersections where there is a common set of forms and material which equate to a set of names.

Subject = predicates,

Or what Plato called, the simili in multis. The same set of predicates in the many different examples.

Sometimes called today, association.

thats interesting,,,

ID say the animal , and the color and the water (at least currently..lol) are accurate

I Actually view death quite favorably though, so IM not sure where that fits in (its pain Im opposed to, I view death itself as lifes big promotion)
