i thnk what we need to relly understand is that 'WE' create myth not the other way round. when it IS the other way round is when all the shit hits the fan
the essence of mythology-in its benevolent
aspect--when it isn't being used to plotically manipulate people and maintain a status quo--is about YOU. the living breathing person who is here now dynamically going through changes, as is all others, Naure including universe. THAt is alive
And there can be ever deepening experience
of this unfathomable life and death and regeneration. The prime source for insight into this mystery has always been and will always be hallucinogenic fruit
what happened with Christianity is that it decided to go 'orrrf-earth'....prohiibit even the MEMORY of pagan peoples ritualitic use off hallucinogenic inspiration, even demonizing all of their beliefs....and of course 'sublimating' them. But basically just leaving its followers, no matter what denomniation, with dry empty symbols....'promise'...'faith'....'hope' etc. And in the Church's history it has done some fukin evil too!....but its main insidious default-evil is its cutting its followers in two. a conflict between body and mind is proliferated. its only means of 'deliverance' is thin wafer of bread and sip of cheap wine. that's all folks
this is not just a dis-ease of the Christian myth however.......
