Thats a dark book
we can run from one wish to another and still be unsatisfied untill we know and learn what all we really want...and when we learn that we are really ok the way we are...
the first part of the book is about imagination and fantasy - how humans are needed for fantasy to survive or it gets stale and disappears...thats a happy message and a happy story
then it talks of how fantasy can be dangerous, because u can do what u want, u can totally lose urself.. each wish fullfillment in fantasy is taking away a part of the boy.
At first he wants to be strong and then brave and then famous then feared.. and then he wants to be really wise and then he wants to rule all over the world, he gets it all becuase he gets what he wishes for and then.. when he sees people who have got it all and then lost everything. He then begins his self discovery
first he wants to belong - he is slowly accepting the things he doesnot like about himself or his situation, he is seeing reality.. he wants to belong to someone no matter what.. and then he wants to be loved for what he truely is, exactly how he is.. reminds him of his dead mother.. how this loving lady is like mother earth or nature.. his healing has begun... once he is healed he goes deep into himself to find what he truely wants...which is... :-)
There is so much symbolism in this
blind miner who mines for forgotten dreams, this boy also has to go without light into the deepest of the deep caves to mine for dreams.. the dream shatter if u talk so u have to be absolutely silent... he has to talk to the pictures without words, without feelings... (ring a bell?, shadow self, subconscious- how no words there etc)
this book is really deep
I m still not sure I get the childlike empress what was she all about?
The dark and the light snakes who are keeping each other in check and the well of life from which u enter into and get out of fantasia.. Yin yang ... Needs a second read...
awesome.
My Favorite quote: “There were thousands and thousands of forms of joy in the world, but that all were essentially one and the same, namely, the joy of being able to love.”
I want the hard bound copy of this book, its supposed to be printed in red and green ink, with every chapter starting with a capital letter! which is written in beautiful calligraphy!
