Abstract	This essay addresses the question: how can the meta cognitive layer be referenced by higher cognitive models? and proposes an answer: the cognitive prism mechanism. We examine the micro-activity of the mind, the activity of a neuron, and introduce the notion of cognitive prism mechanism; after that we show that such mechanism also exists in the spatial model in the meta cognitive layer. We further collect evidences in metaphor to show that our everyday language is referenced to spatial domain and how such references can be understood through the prism metaphor. We show that the classic mathematical logic can be understood as a special cognitive prism receiving languages and refracting to true or false values. As mathematical logic is recognized as the base for almost all scientific disciplinary, we argue that spatial model along with the cognitive prism mechanism shall develop quite a lot of higher cognitive models. At last we describe how the prism metaphor can be used in understanding the basic issue of acupuncture. By doing so, we demonstrate an amazing reference of one higher cognitive model (acupuncture) to the meta cognitive model.
