While I recently said that I want to break down and humanize my work even more so, this doesn’t mean I’m going to ditch my life is a role-playing game allegory for describing growth and development.
It just means I need to make its foundation more accessible by using a collection of these simple metaphors as well.
Put another way, if I take all of the different simple metaphors that I’ve already seen writers using in amazing ways and put them all together into an allegorical narrative, its effectively my life is a role-playing game framework.
So how come I can see and do this but others can’t seem to?
It’s because I’m taking all of their different metaphors and perspectives and layering them on top of each other in alignment. That’s extremely difficult to do, as I’ve articulated before when I said that “trying to articulate this ‘bigger picture’ seems impossible at times.”
I mean the latter half of my over twenty years of research has been spent effectively trying to make sense of this and understand the meaning of it in turn. It’s been anything but easy.
For example, I remember years back saying that, “I keep seeing all of these different notable authors, both historic ones and present ones, all talking about the same thing but from different perspectives.” Yet at the time, I was completely intuiting this versus actually rationally understanding. Only recently, have I started to actually rationally understand it.
