Unfortunately most/all myths are intrinsically mystifying and as such do not provide a useful source of Wisdom.
What is Wisdom? http://beezone.com/current/whatiswisdom.html What is the purpose of myths? http://beezone.com/current/creamyth.html http://www.adidam.org/teaching/gnosticon/religion-scientism What human beings require is direct Ecstatic contact with Reality which is prior to the thinking mind http://beezone.com/baptism-of-immortal-happiness http://beezone.com/adida/god-is-not-elsewhere.html http://www.fnmzoo.org/wisdom-teaching/i-embrace-all-beings The principle myth that now patterns & controls all of human culture is Narcissus http://beezone.com/adida/narcissus.html http://www.dabase.org/up-1-6.htm The Criticism That Cures the Heart Posted by Daffy Duck, Tuesday, 20 January 2026 2:49:37 PM

An interesting piece. I agree that myth can be better suited to describing many of the things that matter most to us as human persons than facts and figures, and that in downplaying the immeasurable science fails to recognise many important truths. Science and the material are incredibly important; but they are not everything.
The problem also works in reverse. Religious fundamentalists often implicitly take for granted scientists’ assumptions that facts and truth are synonymous, and evidence must be historical to be reliable, to argue for example that the world really was created in seven days and Jesus really did walk on water. They fail to understand what the bible’s authors were trying to say and the genres they used to try and say it. Meanwhile, those who doubt that these texts describe actual events often dismiss them as false. Posted by Rhian, Wednesday, 21 January 2026 8:08:00 PM

“The cry for myth” is the last Buffalo bellow of the prairie for multiculturalism.
It’s a lost cause that, like its many cousins of similar fetishisation; be some, global warming, climate change, diversity, gay rights and the rainbow flag etc, along with rampant immigration from incompatible cultures, (Muslims), has caused society immeasurable harm and must be eliminated before our own culture becomes a lost myth.
The “Third Space of Coexistence”, or the cultural myth of, translates into a Zombie dialect unintelligible to physical modern man.
Less myth not more is the recipe of survival. Resorting to mythical interpretations of the past to explain the self destruction phenomena of multiculturalism, is more madness we don’t need.
