BLuke Miller Truth Theory

The name Alice in Greek means “truth” and while her wonderland that many believe to be fantasy seems like a far far away realty- the metaphors and messages within it are far more grounded in this reality than we think. Since men and women have been able to speak, we have communicated in the language of story. In many tribal cultures this is how wisdom has been passed down to younger generations. Alice (truth) is a modern day symbol for this for anyone who has the eye to see it.

Here are 17 magical metaphorical messages from Alice and her mystical team:

“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” Alice

2

“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, Sir, because I’m not myself you see.” Alice

Alice: “But I don’t want to go among mad people,”

Cat: “Oh, you can’t help that, we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

Alice: “How do you know I’m mad?”

Cat: “You must be, or you wouldn’t have come here.” Alice and The Cheshire Cat

5

“Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” The King Of Hearts


6

Duchess “You’re thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can’t tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.”

Alice: Perhaps it hasn’t one…

Duchess: “Tut, tut, child! Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.” Alice and The Duchess

I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.– Alice

9

“You used to be much more…muchier. You’ve lost your muchness.” The Mad Hatter

Alice: “The question is, whether you can make words mean different things.”

17

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
