Often, the metaphor of an iceberg is used to describe the idea or concept of MIND. The tip of the iceberg is apparent, visible and known to the observer. The bulk of the iceberg is underwater, unknown, unseen and represents the unconscious mind. Some theorists believe the unconscious mind holds memories of humanity, called the "collective unconscious." One might say the "conscience of mankind" is buried there beneath the surface of known existence or what we perceive as reality.

Was the destruction of the Titanic caused by an iceberg? Perhaps, the giant ship was doomed from the beginning. Naming the ship after the "children of the gods," i.e., the titans, may have been a self-fulfilling prophesy. The titans were banished to depths of the earth by their parents because they challenged the authority of "the gods."
