Friends, with this publication, I urge you to pay attention to the valuable metaphorical construction of the fairy tale of our childhood "Rejuvenating apples", the hero of which was saved through a healing, sacred gift living and dead water … This allegory in its semantic, spiritual fullness is highly correlated with the real experience of psychological difficulties. What does it represent when applied to a break in life? Let's consider…
In general, a rather obvious circumstance, but many overlooked by many: any crisis, problem and "collapse" includes both dead (sobering, lesson), and alive (saving, healing) component spiritual transformation of the future future. This context is very helpful in understanding the ongoing difficulties.
Just think about what allegorically happens to us at the moment of living in a particular serious crisis? The collapse of the familiar picture of the world, right? Reality at this moment opens up to us from an unfavorable (as it seems) side, destroying the established, familiar perceptions. What does this hypothetically suggest?
1. The old picture has ceased to be the same because the world (environment, circumstances, relatives) has changed, which means that it “died” for the present.
2. The old picture has ceased to be the same because you yourself have changed, which means that you do not fit into the old picture.
3. The old picture of the world has ceased to be the same, as the primary correspondences, communications, attitudes have changed, demonstrating to the participants of interactions the current inconsistency, imbalance.
And if you start from the fairy tale plot of "Rejuvenating apples" (with its resource symbols about living and dead water), then …
4. The picture of your world has never been what you saw - you harbored unjustified illusions at its expense - you were mistaken.
In all these cases, the participants in the situation experience a logical "collapse" of the lost picture of the world they are used to.
And now apply the current approach to it: any difficult situation, in terms of its semantic spiritual fulfillment, is a dead (sobering, routine) and living (saving, healing) water of metaphorical birth into the future. This is how it should be viewed. This greatly facilitates the perception of crisis situations and gives hope for the best.
What is behind the analogies about the living and dead water of the experienced difficulties?
"Dead water of collapses"
Collapse is a scrapping, killing of the past, familiar. In this sense, the door to the past is closed forever. The former is not and will no longer be. It is gone, changed. And this, like it or not, you have to accept. Difficulties have sprinkled you with "dead water", your yesterday has died forever, together with your ideas about this yesterday and rainbow illusions in relation to the old picture of the world.
Cons: You have lost what you were once very attached to.
Pros: dying in relation to the former, you are born for another further. And here a healing fountain of life-giving, magic water opens to you …
"Living water of collapses"
Closed doors to the old, destroyed picture open up new, alluring perspectives and opportunities for you. Just at the moment of stress, you are not yet able to consider this … But time will pass, your wounds will heal, and you will certainly "wake up" for a new, resourceful future and continue your journey with other corridors and routes.
Cons: none; You are healed, brought back to life, saved for the next.
Pros: a new birth portends you new realizations, new achievements and victories.
So, in moments of crisis, it is useful to remember: the world did not collapse, it simply slammed the old door you were used to and another opened to you … This is the way of any transformation: to be born into the new, you have to say goodbye to the old. And it's not as scary as it seems, perhaps at the beginning … Remember the famous aphorism of Richard Bach? It is very pertinent to the current reasoning. "What the caterpillar calls the End of the World, the Master will call a butterfly."
