how do humans grow emotionally?
how do humans explore their inner world?
unless we weave these subconcious messages.
sorting out our dreams and their purpose.
it isn't about the outward reality of anything.
it is about the language of our own inner myths.
the purpose of the myths are not the stories themselves.
and the parts these stories play in the history of the growth of our
unconscious minds.
hey at least you can consider the idea of a myth here or there.
that is a big step from when they picked up the first spy glass and
were very afraid.
you have at least broken through a layer of superstition or your peers
and allow the thought of a thought.
that may be as far our unconscious gets for some time to come.
to at atleast allow thoughts we do not know nor understand.
tabling things till we can understand?
maybe in another 200 years people can adjust to these deeper
suggestions and be able to analize the myths and research them better
with different devices for measure.
starting with joseph campbell.
in love with the living gay jesus,
merlin
