Synchronicity is the story I'm presently telling myself considering that I just finished watching, "The Hero's Journey, " ten minutes ago from the Joseph Campbell Foundation. Manny, we've chatted briefly before on Gaia.com...Howdy again. For me, it feels as though the present mythos is that we are the crying baby, which is anxious as it leaves the empty breast unable to understand we are about to encounter a warm full breast from which to sup. I think we're a little lost coming from a story that no longer works, as Campbell points out in regard to literal, historic interpretations, and moving into confronting the fact that life is mysterious. We have mountains of information and still lack knowing - acknowledgment - regarding the utter mystery of a life, each life . Conditioning seems to overwhelm open perception. The stories I seem to observe all to often are bleak, post-apocalyptic and violent. However, I think we still want to tell the story of making it to the other side but right now crying and thrashing about take precedent. We need some artists and storytellers to envision the cooing, warmth, and love of a baby on the full breast. (I'm sure you Freudians are letting me have it right now...lol...) Long one Manny, sorry!

Hail Fellow well met! Perhaps the new story, myth, allegory IS Connection. Everyone certainly throws around One-ness and Unity but it still seems a bit unreachable and immature in practice. KWIM? How do we create the Mythos of Connection to relate to such a transcendent idea? Religion has kinda botched it, sadly, with literal and historic views. Like you say science is "connecting" to mystery as in the quantum string world, which borders more on philosophy now. Are Strings our new Myth? Man, I wish I was an artist. I'd like to run with that, ya know? The Internet...the Web........................of life, social NET works, NET working, lines of communication leading to the MYSTERY. Whoop! I'm getting heady...LOL. Looking forward to more Manny. Love One Another.
