We need something we can't quite get hold of, something which teases around the edges of conscious. Thank you for such a well crafted post!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066730008932728469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336489750491462478.post-40800043964539341052013-02-15T14:54:41.949-08:002013-02-15T14:54:41.949-08:00That is a fascinating essay, thank you.
I have be...That is a fascinating essay, thank you.<br /><br />I have been pondering some of the themes here for a long time and in my own experience find no dichotomy between the Scientific Quest and the Mythic Quest.<br /><br />Science and Myth, equally and in their own way, only add to my store of wonder.<br /><br />Science and Myth alike, as you suggest here, are both heroic journeys into the unknown, into mystery; they are both free of dogma and speak directly to our experience and understanding of reality.<br /><br />In my own essay on a similar theme (also for this feast!)I essentially claim that they are two sides of the same coin, two different technologies for exploring the fullness of Nature, outer and inner.<br /><br />However, your writing here, I think, is much more poetically rich and beautiful than my (as it now seems to me)rather dry effort. I loved reading this, it seems to me to be a great contribution to the Feast.<br /><br />Thank you so much. :)Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789849765972235409noreply@blogger.com
