Hi folks,

What are the myths by which we live? Myths that have been invented?
Gents, I
think you both imply that we can exercise conscious control over myths,
but
it just ain't so. They are generated in the unconscious very much like a
dream and so one hardly has any choice about such things. The best we
can
hope for is to have enough insight into our own inner lives and to
DISCOVER
which myths animate our lives. As I understand it, these things shift
over
time. We worship different gods at different stages of our lives, so to
speak. Or we may return to the same myths over and over, but each time
the
approach is at higher and deeper levels of meaning, like an upward
spiral.
We can get trapped in them too.

I have very little background in theology so please pardon my lack of
knowledge in this area. Hmm. Myths are only created in the unconscious?
Presume by the MD topic we are talking about the various myths related
to god. I have been thinking a lot about realities. Theological
reality, MOQ realities, SOM realities etc... My presumption is these
realities have a variety of origins both unconscious and conscious. Many
believers in Christ, base their reality on the belief of his existence.
The existence Jesus whether it is myth or reality has its own reality.
Much of this reality, has been perpetuated through the social levels
over the years. Other religious deities share that common pattern. Are
you suggesting that the origin of these religions were created by the
unconsciousness or the perpetuated by the unconsciousness? How are you
are you so definitive about this point. And does this apply to rational
myths as well?
Take care,
Mati
