Paradigm shift from the content of stories to what is universal to all stories — the process, the plot of stories: conflict resolution, a scientific mechanism governed by two scientific phenomena. Emotions are equated with energy, which the unconscious transforms from a state of disequilibrium back to the rest state.
Paradigm Shift
The cycle begins with a dialogue between
the sad Wizard, a tear-filled Easter Island head, the author of all stories and a scale, science measuring everything.
Wizard:
How come after all my stories the world is not living happily ever after?
Science:
“Do not despair, the secrets to happiness are in what is universal in all sties, their plot. Study the plot and you will find the secrets to happily ever after, two formulas of emotional energy transformation.
. A fair lady stands surrounded by three dragons—symbolizes conflict manifesting as passivity, antagonism, and alienation.
We juxtapose it with resolutions across the driveway as the kiss and the embrace, also Don Quijote and Dulcinea as living happily ever after illustrating conflict resolution defined as mastery, cooperation and mutual respect. The premise of the Formal Theory: is that emotions are energy being transformed along two phenomena of science, three pendulum oscillations guided by three formal operations of the equilibrial scale.
The two PHENOMENA OF SCIENCE are demonstrated along the next segment of the SCULPTURAL TRAIL, THE EPICS OF THE GODDESS, expressed through six EMOTIONS: STRESS, RESPONSE, ANXIETY, DEFENSE, REVERSAL, and COMPROMISE, guided by three FORMAL OPERATIONS: RECIPROCITY transforms PASSIVITY into ACTIVITY, NEGATION transforms ANTAGONISM into COOPERATION, and CORRELATION transforms ALIENATION into MUTUAL RESPECT.
