Status Updates From The Power of Myth

I like that this gives support to the art is spiritual concept. Coz it is fr fr. And the little anecdotes about how shamans and ritual worked to interpret natural experiences and transform people is so neat.

Okay see now this is super fascinating. I love the idea of myth as an explanation and justification for natural processes that make them more understandable.

And oooooh I wanna see those cave paintings so fuckin baaaaad bruh

Eternity is the present. Hm. This is a very pro “just experience things” message. I’m for it.

What an interesting conversation about dreams as sort of personal myths. It makes sense - they’re personal stories and experiences that we project against societal norms.

And the idea of sin and the serpent as grounding and the necessity of sin to beget life.

“Amamos esta terra como um recém-nascido ama o bater do coração da mãe.Por isso,se vos vendermos a nossa terra,amem-na como nós a temos amado,cuidem dela como nós temos cuidado. Não esqueçam como ela era quando a receberam…Tal como nós somos parte da terra,vocês são parte da terra...Nenhum homem,seja vermelho ou branco, pode estar separado. Afinal,somos todos irmãos."
