Hi Eddo,
Yes, there are different mythos' and an isolated Buddhist monastery would have
there own.
When Phaedrus first went to India he'd wondered why, if this passage of
enlightenment into pure Dynamic Quality was such a universal reality, did it
only occur in certain parts of the world and not others? At the time he'd
thought this was proof that the whole thing was just Oriental religious
baloney, the equivalent of a magic land called 'heaven' that Westerners go to
if they are good and get a ticket from the priests. Now he saw that
enlightenment is distributed in all parts of the world just as the color yellow
is distributed in all parts of the world, but some cultures accept it and
others screen out recognition of it."
(LILA, Chapter 32)
Seems to me an experience of sudden awakening in a culture that does not accept
enlightenment or take serious talk about enlightenment would be to experience
madness or insanity.
I like what you said concerning the separation of the ego from the notion of
I-ness. Not easy in the West where the economics is linked to the ego.
