Meta-Tales of What Life Is · & How We Missed the Point
⁘ “Symbolic tales. Realms of awareness. Universal elements. What's the point? These archetypes help us all relate to the underlying fabric of our lives. The point was never a face value report. It was to lead you deeper into what we all are.”
From the eight realms and stations of awareness to the four abstract elements...
What actually is the point?
What we discuss stems from the fabric of reality itself.
So there's the benefit of your internal organization.
Beyond that, there's obviously the social and interactive aspect.
These sorts of shared models were typically embedded into our cultural frame of reference.
The tales we tell, the archetypes that we illustrate.
Straight philosophy, metaphysics, is typically too lofty for the masses to absorb.
We need archetypes, we need role models, we need these narratives.
Then what happens when these cultural traditions are considered obsolete.
When the legends of yore are "meh".
Not really relevant today – because that's not how it actually happened.
But that wasn't ever the point.
The point was illustrating what life is.
Not only what life is on the surface level in the complexities of our ongoings,
but what life is under the surface on a deeper level.
The universals that would relate to.
