but what is myth?
myth is the realm of meaning.
which gives us a tripartite epistemology and
metaphysics: meaning, matter (the temporal), energy
(atemporal; bridge between the two).
this *three* leaf clover is still *one* plant of
course (one plant inextricably linked to
others...fractal progression: one - many - one...).
if the atemporal is the bridge between meaning and
matter then the present moment is where the meaning
becomes manifest. it is the present that is eternally
meaningful.
therefore any event occuring in the present - and what
event does not? - is inherently meaningful. it is not
a question of the meaning of life, rather life *is*
meaning.
which while explaining the universal practice of myth,
also explains all divinatory practices, and validates
them.
the profane is sacred.
myth allows magic...the re-enchantment of the world.
this means peace, harmomny....the new myth, the global
myth is still being dreamed. the more that dream it
the better.
