Very often we humans use metaphors to describe things.
![Page 3: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Usually to make it easier on the brain.
![Page 4: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
I read this fascinating book a while back called "Metaphors We Live By." by George Lakoff, one of Chomsky's original students.
![Page 5: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It wasn't quite what I expected.
![Page 6: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I was thinking it would be about some kind of mystical metaphysics or something.
![Page 7: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Maybe the deep meaning of life.
![Page 8: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
But it was something far more profound, and illustrates how pretty much ALL of our thinking is based on metaphors for what lies beneath the
seemingly normal surface of reality.
![Page 9: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Basically, whenever we use a noun that's not a real object, (sometimes in NLP these are called nominalizations), we have to use them AS IF they
are a real object.
![Page 10: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
And the preposition (the word that comes before them in the sentence) we use WITH THEM describes what kind of noun our subconscious minds
think they are.
![Page 11: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I know, this sounds kind of confusing.
![Page 12: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But think of the noun, "meeting."
![Page 13: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It's not a physical thing.
![Page 14: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sure, there's the meeting room, the table, the chairs, the people.
![Page 15: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But the meeting itself is an abstract concept.
![Page 16: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What KIND of noun do our brains think it is?
![Page 17: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A container. How do we know this? Because we say "I'm IN a meeting." We don't say "on" a meeting, or "under" a meeting. We say "in" a
meeting. And we are "in" containers.
![Page 18: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How about a train, plane, or boat?
![Page 19: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We say "on." Like it's a vehicle.
![Page 20: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How about a team? We also say "on."
![Page 21: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Because we travel with a team, to meet other teams.
![Page 22: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Also like a vehicle.
![Page 23: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Compared to a club, which is more like a container. "In" the club.
![Page 24: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There's basically five or six different basic categories we put these abstract nouns in (containers, barriers, passages, buildings,
companions, etc).
![Page 25: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Which means in our most basic, fundamental every day language, we're describing these abstract concepts in a way that we can pretend to
make sense of them.
![Page 26: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Most people imagine that reality is pretty simple.
![Page 27: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
That what you see is what you get.
![Page 28: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
But you know there's much more.
![Page 29: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The surface is just what's on top.
![Page 30: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What if all you thought about the ocean was what it looked like on top?
![Page 31: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You know that there's MUCH MORE to this "reality" than meets the eye. Much more underneath the surface.
![Page 32: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Stuff most people don't even know exists, let alone go looking for.
![Page 33: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How about you?
![Page 34: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Are you willing to dig through the false surface, to see what's REALLY inside?
![Page 35: Look Below The Surface](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c82b07bb61eb8d4d8b4812/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
