    That just explained me so much! Can’t explain but suddenly felt this strong urge to dive deep into the root of this story as “Alice” was my favorite book since I was a kid, which I couldn’t explain in a logical way, but rather it was a mystical magnet for my mind.
    The decoding has resonated with my mind. Thank you!

    The rabbit is her soul and at the begging its telling her body that she is running out of time this makes Alice scared which causes her to fall down the rabbit whole of uncertainty were she does drugs and tries to live her life to the fullest. This ends with her getting in trouble with the law, even though the law is corrupt because its ran by the queen.

    Over the last five years of my life Ive developed what some might consider to be an obsession of sorts with this fairy tale. It was around of the age 30 that I realized there are all sorts of parallels in my life that can be metaphorically drawn from this one story. Through this revelation I have a gained a greater sense of peace, strength, courage and humor when facing lifes many challenges. It has given me new perceptions and has helped me to lighten up and not take every thing quite so seriously. It has helped me rediscover, love, and embrace myself for the own unique person that I am. It has made me a better person really.💖

    Your book is very well done and you are a kind person from when I once met you. I do believe Wonderland has many layers of meaning some obvious some more complex, however the final chapter when Alice wakes up NOBODY has ever captured on film or television the true meaning of the ending and how Alice's sister saw Alice's dream and what that means. The fact Dodgson preferred playing with children vs adults says it all because many who age lose their child like curiosity and playfulness as adults.

      I used to think this way. Really what's crazy is how much depth is available in it whether it was intentional or not. Essentially tapping into the collective unconscious of humanity by interpreting symbolism. Assume nothing is arbitrary and you'll lose your mind figuring out what it all means, as long as you learn something and have fun doing it, who cares if others call it silly?

      @daviddaybooks5743  3 роки тому +2

      Hello Fly: thank you for your comments on my AAIW Decoded. As I think I have explained on the historical-biographical level each of the Wonderland characters are linked and identified as real-life historical figures in the Oxford circle of that time. Many of these: Alice, Dodo, Mock Turtle, Lory, Duck, Eaglet, Father William and the Cheshire Cat have been indisputably revealed by Lewis Carrol himself as parodies of real individuals. Others ultimately cannot be absolutely proved, but have been circumstantially established largely by providing evidence from Carroll’s own letters, squibs, poems, drawings, essays, satires, games, theses and pamphlets.
      That said, providing absolute proof for identities for all real-life Oxford/Wonderland characters was really not the point of the exercise. As stated in the introduction, this is essentially a narrative vehicle and a means for studying the multi-disciplined mind, creative inspirations and political and social influences on the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. If the reader is convinced by the evidence provided, all to the good. If not, he/she may nonetheless gain considerable insight into the human intellectual history of Oxford and its key role in the intellectual and social history of the Victorian Age.
      Similarly, recognizing that Lewis Carroll / Charles Dodgson’s classical trained mind encompassed what would now be considered multiple disciplines, I have adopted this same narrative vehicle of revealing and assigning real-world identities to his Wonderland characters as a kind of a mnemonic system that could be used for teaching the history of classical literature, philosophy, mathematics and theosophy.
      As observed in this book, Lewis Carroll invented hundreds of games, puzzles, paradoxes, mental mazes and mnemonic systems as vehicles for teaching and learning in multiple disciplines. In this sense, I have continued writing in what is very much a Carollian tradition.
      Once again, thank you for your comments, and I hope that to some degree this clarifies the perspective I have taken in this book.
      Kind regards and best wishes
      David
