In Psychotherapy Resistance

The Epic Fantasy Fable of the Curse was written by Ed Friedman to show the group how the prosecution and pursuance of evil is inextricably interwoven into all aspects of life.

Psychotherapist Dr. Edwin Friedman was a clergyman who deployed psychoanalytic theory in his seminal work Generation to Generation, and was able to generate a model for pastoral guidance of large and diverse family based assemblages.

The Rhetorical Device of Fable as Quantum Mind Power

The fable, mythos, is a fictional story giving the image of truth. Since this definition of a fable necessarily implies a requirement that the fable be credible, it is worthwhile to consider exactly how this credibility can be generated.

Some examples include: mention of places where the creatures imagined in the fable were accustomed to pass their time; words that harmonize with the nature of each of the characters; allowing each character to speak about things in a way that would not surpass the nature of that character – the fox speaking crafty things, the lamb speaking soft and tender things, the tiger speaking masterful and violent things. In no case does the character speak contrary to nature.

Epic Fantasy in an Aesop Fable – The Curse

Just after man and woman had been expelled from the garden of innocence, the Holy One turned to his favorite messenger, Satan, and said that he needed a curse, the kind of curse that would last forever, getting to the very essence of human existence, while transcending culture and epoch.

Satan asked about what had gone wrong with the first curse. The answer: it turned out that humans actually liked to work by the sweat of their brow. Satan consulted with his committee and finally returned with the new curse. He reasoned that humans have a great capacity for emotional bonds, so the curse would turn these bonds into binds.
