Foundation
Core Principles
Declaratio Facti Empirici
경험사실의 선언
Myths are not mere fiction. We read them as long-standing records of human psychological experience accumulated over 3,000 years. ICMZ maps recurring mythological patterns to observable psychological phenomena as a complementary framework.
Pharmakon
파르마콘
Every myth is both poison and medicine. Understanding the dual nature of your pain transforms destruction into healing.
Therapeutic Metafiction
치유적 메타픽션
When you recognize your pain in a myth, the boundary dissolves. You become part of a 3,000-year story. This is the healing.
Themis Kalymma
테미스 칼륌마
Vices disguise themselves as virtues and become accepted as universal values. Recognizing this is the first diagnosis.

The Healing Cycle
Kyklos Therapeias — 7 Stages
Genesis 발생→Auxesis 성장→Acme 절정→Katabasis 하강→Anagnorisis 인식→Catharsis 정화→Palingenesis 재생
Every human suffering follows this cycle. Knowing where you are is the beginning of healing.
"읽고 배우고 이해하는 것이 정화의 기도이고 예배이고 의례이다"
Reading, learning, and understanding are the prayer, worship, and ritual of purification.
