„If you want to see the love of your life, look in the mirror"
· Byron Katie ·
Metaphors and fairy tales are symbolic descriptions and representations of mental processes. Fairy tales have a direct effect on the soul. They are like precious stones from a great treasure from which people of all races have been drawing since primeval times. Important, life-promoting character traits are represented in them; it is shown that they lead to a "successful" life. They are traits like courage, determination, wisdom, love and hope, faith and confidence. In addition, we find characteristics such as adaptability, sensitivity, compassion and empathy. Intuition, initiative, modesty and respect for others are also practiced. With their lively symbols, they can touch the soul and trigger deep feelings. In addition, metaphors and fairy tales often convey hope and bring suggestions for new solutions. This allows them to have a healing effect. They influence the attitude towards life, whether it is consciously perceived or not. Almost all fairy tales tell of becoming oneself, of development and maturation, so that no one - neither child nor adult - escapes the challenge to become themselves. This path of self-discovery is a healing path. Not only is it not a path that gently heals injuries and trauma, but it also creates access to unlived life and creative potential.
In India there was the Temple of a Thousand Mirrors. He was lying high on a mountain and the sight was tremendous. One day a dog came and climbed the mountain. He climbed the steps of the temple and entered the temple of a thousand mirrors.
When he entered the hall of a thousand mirrors, he saw a thousand dogs. He got scared, ruffled his neck fur, stuck his tail between his legs, growled terribly and bared his teeth. And a thousand dogs ruffled their neck fur, tucked their tails between their legs, growled terribly and bared their teeth.
Terrified, the dog ran out of the temple, believing that the whole world was made up of snarling, dangerous, and menacing dogs.
Some time later another dog came climbing the mountain. He too climbed the steps and entered the Temple of a Thousand Mirrors. When he came into the hall of a thousand mirrors, he too saw a thousand other dogs. But he was happy. He wagged his tail and jumped happily, inviting the dogs to play.
This dog left the temple believing that the whole world was made up of kind, friendly dogs who were kind to him.
