The authentic myth is that upon which we can rely. It is born of innocent response, sufferings, and insight. Through collective witness we attach and connect to the rudiments of existence as humans, becoming animated with life giving favor. Here there is effective, functional, foundational, formulaic relation to ourselves, others, and the world we find ourselves in. Based in truth, the myth provides sure critical path guidance to healthy, meaningful, purposeful, abundant living. The authentic myth is not a construct of any individual consciousness or mind. It is a response to supra conscious awareness and witness to coexistent true reality. Survival and expression is our reason for being, Life, characterized by free will, has a choice of living afforded through the stories of essence that we experience through active participation. The authenticity value of these stories is known by experience. The authentic myth is recognized by personal and interpersonal harmony. Conflicts and growing pains of being are reconciled as the participants are engaged, enhanced, and supported by the nature which bore them. Active practice results in thriving free, full, and rich.
The synthetic myth is a truth quest searching for and enabling access to the authentic. All seemingly separated elaborate mythologies, or religions, have common core similarity. The similarity at the common core is what the synthetic myth is. It is our commonality. The true working myth insures prosperity and growth. It is the ultimate through the supra conscious, witnessed by the collective, and realized by the individual. not the other way around.
It is impossible to detach wholly from reality or the world. The interconnectedness of all makes this a fact. It’s natural. It’s fair to say that we’re part of something, we have our perceptions, and we are familiar with different stories. Whether it’s Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, or Apollo 13, or who won the Super Bowl we are aware of some story. The degree on which we rely on them varies for sure. There has been here, and in many other places, references to known stories of history including their relevant effect. Now revisit 911 as a big part of the modern myth. By now many can tolerate the notion that the socially known facts about the story of September the 11th of 2001 are not entirely true as they have been told, retold, reinforced, and maintained. This story of the acts of murder and destruction is evolving and morphing in the collective awareness schema. As an operating mythological story construct it is not holding up. The truth essence at it’s base is suspect at best and is really better described as corruptly false. It has been irreverently realized by the individual(s), thrust upon the collective, and defiant of any greater consciousness. It’s witness is proceeding in destruction, suffering, perpetual conflict, and anti life mania. As subjects under the umbrella of question we lose our contact. We lose our contact with each other, ourselves, and our world. In order to internally and externally maintain our support of the dysfunctional lie myth we maintain contempt as we atrophy, decay, and destroy. Without vindication, alteration, and a real distinct about face of consideration our fulfillment is certain in ruin. There’s no substitute for routine, substantive, regular, real evaluation and re evaluation of what we think we know, the stories we believe, and the myths that we rely on. There is very little room left to backslide any further into confusion, disharmony, and conflict. Our tolerance level for upheaval, and our nature’s as well, has been pushed to the break brink. Eternity looms and our choices have never seemed more important. How much, I wonder, free will remains to make them?
