The Intensity Of The Intuitive Introvert ... Made Whole
Part 3

How Do I Get My Ideas Across?

How do I get my ideas across? What has made me successful at this? I have found an elegant solution and in so doing I stand on the shoulders of giants, as our introverted friend, Sir Isaac Newton, would say.

The elegant solution is so simple ... metaphor.

Great Intuitives Use Metaphor

What is a metaphor? Dictionary.com defines it this way: " The transference of the relation between one set of objects to another set for the purpose of brief explanation; a compressed simile; e. g., the ship plows the sea."

In other words, "this is like that" only leave out the word "like".

Here's a famous example from MacBeth (V, v, 19) by Shakespeare.

"Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

There are two metaphors here. Life is compared to an actor and to the way a story is told.

Intuitive introverts are very good at this

Metaphors call our attention to the similarities between two things that makse both of them clearer. They are the powerful natural language of the intuitive introvert. Poetry in other words. You may not think of yourself as a poet but you can do this if you try. Let me elaborate.

The Great Wisdom of the Ages was Conveyed in Metaphor

The great ancient intuitive books of knowledge, the Sybilline Books, the Bible (the parables of Jesus), the I Ching, the Runes, the Tarot Deck ... all use metaphors and similes to convey their profound wisdom.

I recently consulted the Runes, ancient wisdom of the Nordic people, and received a very helpful answer in the form of a metaphor. This is how it happened.

In the past three weeks, I had three sudden near deaths in my closest circle of friends. In all cases the person was young and seemed healthy so it was very shocking. In addition, while out jogging I had seen a disemboweled raven. It was a very big bird. Its feathers were spread out across the grass. They were so beautiful! I have also found two rattlesnakes on my property. One stood still long enough for me to get a terrific look at every detail of its body. Its tail had black and white rings like a raccoon, making it a Western Diamondback. The other was very young and I succeeded it holding it in place long enough for Russell the Rattlesnake Man to come and take it away for humane re-release. The third was a tiny black and white ringed snake I saw while jogging.
