Use this puzzle solver trackable to travel somewhere in time. Eddie is ready to help solve those darn mysteries and find cool gadget caches. Do not be tempted to keep me! My destiny is continuous geocaching adventures. If I had a destination, take me to Deutschland. I would like to visit Neuschwanstein Castle.
TIME IS A PRECIOUS POSSESSION
Time is an abstract notion, which cannot be touched, put into the pocket or lost. People can lose an object, which physically exists and belongs to them. It is in their possession and they do not want to abandon it. Here, time is conceptualized as an object in possession. However, unlike other objects, time, if lost, cannot be found or retrieved again. Hence, it is a precious possession.
THE MIND IS A CONTAINER
Mind is something as abstract as time and, normally, cannot be described as being open or closed. There is a similar and more general metaphor, though: BODY IS A CONTAINER, which has a strong experiential basis. People take food, water or pills into the bodies or put clothes on their bodies (similar to wrapping a container). All human live organs are in the body. All these examples evoke the image schema of container. Mind is something that inherently belongs to the body, more specifically, to the brain, and is a part of it. If BODY IS A CONTAINER and mind, being part of the body, may metonymically represent the whole body, then MIND IS A CONTAINER too. As a container can be open, so does the mind metaphorically. As one can take the old things out of container and fill it with the new, so is it with the mind. The source domain of a container is mapped onto the human mind.
SELF CONTROL IS OBJECT POSSESSION
Thd Self is a physical object and the control of the Self is a possession of the object. This entails that “letting yourself go” is letting the Self abandon you, become out of your possession. In other words, you stop controlling your own conscious actions.
“Caught somewhere in time” is a useful, instructive case of why the events happen in time. The underlying metaphor is TIME PASSING IS MOVING ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE (MOVING OBSERVER). Time is static in this case and any duration in time is a distance, covered by an observer. In other words, a period of time is a certain bounded space on the observer’s path – a temporal container (the walls of the container are the initial and final time events, which measure a period of time). Hence, if time is conceptualized as a temporal container, a human may be caught in it – caught somewhere in time
