About MFL

Metaphors For Life is an independent ministry of Church of the New Renaissance, which began its existence in 2000 as a home for modern and contemporary [tag]mystic[/tag]s. [tag]Metaphors For Life[/tag] is the vehicle by which the Reverend Doctors Michael and Alesia Matson guide themselves and those who may be interested in directing their evolution consciously, mindfully, with awareness — in a culture that would much rather we all just stayed asleep.

[tag]Symbolism[/tag] and [tag]metaphor[/tag] are the headlights which assist us in seeing the [tag]truth[/tag] of our [tag]transcendent[/tag] natures. Those who’ve explored those transcendent states by venturing into higher levels of [tag]consciousness[/tag] have left us their writings, paintings, symphonies and poetry, which have become the maps and guidebooks for the rest of us on our journey into the unknown. These maps are riddled with metaphors. To read these maps accurately, one must know the language of metaphor — symbolism — and be able to translate it not only into those old maps, but into the events of daily life as well.

The Matsons speak the rich and beautiful language of metaphor, and since founding Metaphors For Life in 2003 are actively teaching others how they can resolve the [tag]mysteries[/tag] of their lives by learning to speak it — and apply it — too.

• Have you ever wondered why you choose the same kinds of unsatisfactory partners for relationships?
• Do you get frustrated at the persistent lack of material abundance in your life?
• Are your career choices fulfilling, or are they “drudgery chores” you endure for 50 – 60 hours a week?
• Is your health deteriorating? Do you have physical symptoms you can’t explain? Do you no sooner “cure” one condition (or set of them) than another pops up?
• Are you sometimes overwhelmed with extreme emotional states that vacillate wildly? Do you cry spontaneously, for unknown causes? Does depression sap you of energy and interest in life?

These “life mysteries” and others like them are messages from a [tag]Higher Source[/tag], direct to you. They’re [tag]guidance[/tag], and they’re all you need to begin to turn your life around from one of depression, anxiety, guilt, and pain into a fulfilled life of joy, peace, love, serenity, and self-empowerment.

How? Read on, new friends. There is lots of information on this site that can help you — and there are books, seminars, articles, and the team at Metaphors For Life, ready to assist you! You don’t have to stumble around blindly anymore — turn on your headlights!
