[QUOTE="Gnostic Christian, post: 194268, member: 11757"] I would trust in your sigil magick ritual, only because I am near phobic about saying only what I think is the truth. I have no belief in anything supernatural or magic. Like Joseph Campbel, I think all our myths are what he called Heros of 1,000 Faces. This makes sense from the POV of us as evolving creatures who should all seek to be the fittest. Heros are who we try to emulate, as they basically rule the word, as the fittest humans. This is older and, to me, wiser thinking as express by this scholar. The last link is Gnostic Christian thinking. You might have missed it above. I hope you can see how intelligent the ancients were as compared to the mental efforts that modern preachers and theists are using with the literal reading of myths. [URL='https://bigthink.com/videos/what-is-god-2-2']What is God?[/URL] Further. h[URL='http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/03132009/watch.html']ttp://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/03132009/watch.html[/URL] Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus, said that when asked to sum up the whole of Jewish teaching, while he stood on one leg, said, "The Golden Rule. That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. [B][U]And everything else is only commentary.[/U][/B] Now, go and study it." Please listen as to what is said about the literal reading of myths. "Origen, the great second or third century Greek commentator on the Bible said that it is absolutely impossible to take these texts literally. You simply cannot do so. And he said, "God has put these sort of conundrums and paradoxes in so that we are forced to seek a deeper meaning." Matt 7;12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. This is how early Gnostic Christians view the transition from reading myths properly to destructive literal reading and idol worship. [MEDIA=youtube]oR02ciandvg[/MEDIA] Regards DL [/QUOTE]
