The way you said 'it has taken me nearly two decades of my life to complete, I'd now like take ten minutes of your time...' so solemnly made me buy the book!
I opened this book not three hours ago, and already, I have a sense of that which I've been looking for my entire life. Thanks so much for all of your efforts, imagination and thoughtful executions.
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.💖
I think this is a superb video. Thanks! Alice's adventures have extended to the Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, (art promoting art) which took me 40 years to hear when I should have heard it on the first go. I have thought for some time now that these 2 books were among the best evers. This video supports and encourages this notion, which is a very good thing.
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.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! Amazing parallels! It seems to me that when a clever educated experienced person creates, it always turns out to be interesting and intelligent, whether intended or not in some unexpected aspects. Peace to everyone. I'm from (and in) Ukraine.
I really want to read this book. I don’t think AIW is so much a book of secrets though. I think Lewis Carroll was obviously bright and intellectually playful and he created a layered book of mysteries for those similarly inclined. The word secret seems unnecessarily insidious.
Lewis Caroll be like: *"I'mma write random weird stuffs just for fun."* People: *"oh my gosh! He's a genuis! We must find the meaning behind this perplex masterpiece!"*
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?
I like how he says in the last century in the beginning like he was here in another life I like that taking 8 and turn it sideways that's how old we are
I'm here because of an anime called SAO it hold deep answers from this book and I came and found them here it's kind of frightening but it's so mesmerizing to see it all unravel
well we did fall from the sky i recall the screaming this is but a matrix if i could turn back time which i can lol my name is Ramses but I'm sure you heard of me lol i love this story and yes there is a underground world filled with mostly snakes to be honest but we are getting rid of them finally
Metaphysics… Quantum physics your body is not your mind, your mind is not your body…. You create your own reality through imagination. When you learn this, you then can create on purpose instead of by accident.❤ ….. Neville Godard…..
I think a lot of this book is about science. I don't know if it is about quantum mechanics, but the cat that appears and disappears out of nothing or the vacuum of space it resonates a lot of quantum particle that appear and disappear as excitations of the quantum fields.
i read the little prince for like 100 times and find new meanings every time (as i am growing older and more life experience gained). But this book is too much .. i still can not enjoy this. maybe i am too shallow 😂😂😋😂😂
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
@@CowieThomas1997 the person who wrote Alice in wonderland did not !!!! Write secrets she wrote a fun narrative to capture the imagination of children ,,so ridiculous!!!!!
The most common misunderstanding of Alice In Wonderland is that it's a drug trip! It's because everything is so weird nothing makes sense. But it's literally a dream, nothing should make sense.
@@swiftplume7833 I meant the guy who's interpreting and all the other people who overthink narratives that are simply sweet stories from beautiful imaginations ..what's the world coming to ! When they read so much nonsense into a cute story 🙄
Bob Dobalina I didn’t hear him use “literally” at any point in this video. In relation to your statement disregarding a writers worth, it’s actually part of a writer or translators job to use the language of the current time. Thats one of the reasons why there are multiple editions of books.
Jealousy is a dangerous sickness that tend to sprout from the mind to the lips and in this case, to the tips of your fingers typing this comment on your keyboard! How predictable...
@ Mo Onion - Correct, but not to MIS-use the language. And, it is a sad commentary on our times when people are defending the mis-usage of the english language.
@ Naomh - you are making invalid assumptions about someone you dont know based on one statement from them (ok two ;) . A. How predictable, and B. the low-blow personal attack, the go-to strategy of someone who is on the losing side of an argument. Any questions, chode? (And I shant (correct usage) even address the ludicracy of accusing me of jealousy towards a writer. )
