About James Taylor Foreman

Welcome to The Metaphor.

“Reality is narrative and our only job is to make it beautiful,” is the ethos of The Metaphor, put into as few words as possible. Take away any one of them, it becomes something else.

Reality is narrative posits that consciousness is a fundamental building block of the cosmos, defying the assumption that reality is only measurable cause-and-effect, where consciousness is a “weird ghost in the world-machine. ” Just as physics finds Laws of Physics, we can observe consciousness across time to find stable narrative patterns, or the Laws of Mythos. This means reading literature and telling stories, suggesting a cosmic significance to storytelling.
