Mythology

It is known that the root meaning of the Greek word 'myth' is, "things said and not done" and on that account it would appear that mythology can be discarded like heresay. But to do so would be in betrayal of life, mother nature and God. One may say in good spirits that the said meaning of the word myth is a myth itself! What we can say in all reasonableness is that the myths of Gods and their antithesis are an attempt by man to understand himself in his surroundings. Out of chaos becomes order which is symmetry to all intents and purposes. The patterns of order lay dormant in chaos waiting to come into material existence in time and space manifesting through intelligence. Such patterns are forged through life but withdraw from that something into a state of emptiness, like a hologram, waiting to manifest again into that something from which it originated. Chaos by definition is random anything can happen intelligence however is determined in nature and follows a routine so to speak. One should add that the result in intelligence is determined but not the particulars that lead to the result. Comparable to an archetype one may suggest that it is the Holy Spirit. Material existence 'falls into place' just as intelligence does. You may have heard the expression, when someone gets the gist of an argument they had hereto not understood, that they "just fell in" and this is indeed what does happen, nonetheless one can work their way into such an understanding, or indeed work their way into a situation in which they would like to find themselves. To give a simple simile one could point to an island (material existence) surrounded by a great sea of water (the spirit world) with a river running through the middle of the island from one side to the other (time). It can be discerned from the land what course the river will take such may be considered as an archetype, the animus mundi, and ultimately the water returns into its main body from whence it came. However can one really distinguish between the sea and the river when the river has always existed (flowing from one side of the island to the sea at the other side) at least as long as the sea! So you can see that time is not really what it appears to be and as I have said previously the world really exits in a time scale 0 to 0. Note also that it is the sea which makes the island what it is, an island, and it is the earth that gives rise to the island that gives a basis for the sea! Such is the nature of creation and life. In relation to Gods we can say that such are personifications (by analogy) of natural movements which are intelligent. In this book we have God who is a personification of intelligence in its most abundant, and paramount to such intelligence is what we would all find to be good. Then we have an embellishment of disorder, the devil, who is a personification (by analogy) of wickedness and deceit. As much disorder, wickedness and deceit as there is in the world the fact is that anyone can learn to manifest intelligence in their lives and create order out of chaos, whether or not one looks to another or indeed a God for their inspiration. If one makes the decision to be intelligent and therefore good (or falls into such a disposition) then one can safely say that such was "written in the stars" however if one embarks on a different path, one which leads to chaos, then one can hardly say that such was 'determined' because, as I have said before, chaos is random and literally anything can happen. However as I have also said previously, out of chaos becomes order so good things may never be that far away; when it appears that nothing is going right (right as opposed to wrong in the moral sense) you can reasonably aspire to, in general terms, and whilst using intelligence, the situation turning into its opposite. So I say Religion is not extinct and God isn't really a dinosaur. I recognise the concept of God for what it is and does (God being a leader of men on earth and spirits in the upper worlds, not creator of the world). I recognise the merits in all of the different religions through antiquity and I recognise the enlightend beings, like the Buddha (who if it weren't for his own advice would be worshipped as a God!) and all of the lesser Gods; those beings who have taken up the mantle of personifying natural processes whilst being intelligent. I recognise Set, Rangarie, Jaluga, deperno and the devil for what it means and in doing all of this I look to Mother Nature as being intrinsic in our power and resolute in her way, which is to give life a chance.
