Now, here's an individual who knows how to harness the power of myth! ...and, of course, least we forget Douglas Adams. Thanks for the references to the above authors. I will look into them.  A series of books I really enjoyed was the River World Series by Philip Jose Farmer, which explained the history of Earth in a unique way by traveling along a million mile river that represented time travel through history to the end of history.      You stated that you were an artist in addition to a computer programmer.  Being an amateur programmer, I have been very interested in animation art, and virtual reality programming, to program virtual reality worlds that can be experienced by the viewers, which I feel will be the next trend in the entertainment industry.  One of Bill Gates former employees wrote a book on game programming in which he explained the myth that long ago in unrecorded past history, the art of computer technology had been so advanced that they could literally create reality and life from computer programs and game animations that actually created the reality in which they lived.   I have been focusing on myths to much as you suggest, and I should try to think more about the present and future than the past.  In my case, perhaps I may have been tricked and seduced into walking into another if not many other virtual reality timelines, where all things are possible, and what we think may come to be almost instantly.  Those who have tricked me, may be encouraging me to focus more on mythology than I should, to bring the myths of long bygone days back to life at times if not to idealize them and improve upon them, which is much like the Never Ending Story Novels where the reader of the book becomes part of the book to create the history, present and future around them as they read the book.  The Sir Gewain and Green Knight myths mentions the Lost Land of Lionesse, which was part of Atlantis at one time, which also claims that some events in the past may also occur again in the future, as if the future creates the past but some pasts and futures are hidden from us unless we choose to be part of them much like the Lost Land of Lioness.  Since there may be many different pasts on Earth, then also there may be many different futures.  We all may be in a time in history presently, were we may be choosing and fighting over which past and which future may come to be in our present and in our local region on Earth.  Different regions on Earth each have different cultures, histories, pasts, and futures. Certainly those who do not prefer one past history, may deny its existence to hope to prevent its present and future.   Baron Von Volsung, http://www.rhfweb.com/baron, Email: http://www.rhfweb.com/emailform.html President Thomas D.
