Later in the book, the authors develop a whole theory using metaphors as a base, suggesting that we generally understand the world through metaphor, the reason being that they are the way to understand more abstract things in terms of more concrete things. I’ve found the idea of conceptual metaphors to be very enlightening and it made me realize how much of the way we think about our everyday life is full of metaphors. He book then goes on to establish the notion of conceptual metaphor and give several more examples (such as TIME IS MONEY, MORE IS UP and IDEAS ARE FOOD). ![]() You can imagine a culture where arguments are not understood in terms of a struggle that could be won or lost, where perhaps the goal of the argument is to reach mutual understanding, but then someone from our culture would probably not perceive it as an argument at all. These are not just stylistic choices they’re how we understand the concept of an argument. Consider the ARGUMENT IS WAR metaphor: we talk of winning or losing an argument, as well as attacking positions and devising argument strategies. The main thesis of Metaphors We Live By is that metaphor, rather than being a matter of language to be used to provide style and aid rhetoric, is a key element in thought and understanding. ![]() ![]() ![]() During the lesson and subsequent ones, he would duck in and out of the room to discuss my Yoga problems with his father. ![]() He proceeded to show me the basic instruction of whole body moving with the breath.

I proudly demonstrated my nauli, the churning of my stomach and bladder and internal organs that I had picked up as a solution to suffering weakness in my bladder for months, needing to frequently go to the bathroom. He said show me what you do, and quietly observed without comment. He first observed everything that I was doing. He looked up for half a second, and greeted me with a short smile and lively eyes.ĭesikachar taught me one-to-one in a private room with his father in the room next door. When I arrived, his father, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, was seated on the front porch in a wicker armchair reading the newspaper, dressed in traditional Brahman dhoti and shawl. I had been participating in the circus of spiritual India, and Desikachar was just one more place to go, but from the moment I met him I knew I’d found gold. In 1973, I went for my first lesson with Desikachar in Madras (now Chennai). ![]() ![]() ![]() Out of a lingering attachment to his work, Reki posted it on his website under the pen name "Kunori Fumio". He completed it in 2002, but due to Dengeki Bunko's page number limitations he was turned down and gave up on the award, unwilling and not skilled enough to cut the script. He had only read other works before writing Sword Art Online (SAO), so this was his first book. In 2001, Reki applied for the 9th Dengeki Game Novel Grand Prix (currently known as Dengeki Novel Award). Tried to draw manga, but felt it too tedious a process to get his ideas down on paper, and enjoyed coming up with stories more than the accompanying work, so he started writing novels. ![]() He also played Ragnarok Online, and Reki mentioned at different times the game he played the most was either that or World of Warcraft. In 1998, he started playing Ultima Online which would be the first of many online games in his future. Participated in the Manga Studies Club in college, where he drew manga and illustrations, and played fighting games with the club members at the arcade often. His official website states: "WordGear: an experimental world generated by fumio kunori, since 2002".
