Guess everything is out there in the Universe. Deb (Athara), and I were just
discussing this very topic yesterday. Myths and the like. There is some basis
in fact or truth in every myth or story, and they may or may not have actually
happened. For me the biggest problem with these stories is the time frame.
For some reason our particular mass conciousness wants to put them all into a
time sequeance of about the last 6-8,000 years and they just don't fit well
there all lumped together. So if you let them just float out there in a
"non-time frame" and understand that these are stories regarding possible
civilizations or occurances that could have occurred over millions and millions
of years and perhaps not even on this particular planet they tend to be a bit
more palatable, at least for me.
Interesting topic though.
Love,
Rayianna, whose fingers still work even though the arms are useless.
