There are few deep in this game, or there will be, but of this few some, not all, have a basic rule missing. This rule is, being a mythologist is a little bit scientist. Here's why; you must be able to show you know history, mythology, the process of science, and wrap it up in the ability to stand on your own damn feet. It's not hard because we have to deliver messages. Nor is it difficult because we must start with an original nucleus of a story. It is challenging because we have to know a wide range of everything that anything of importance. We, mythologist, are the storytelling handyman. We keep shit together and working.
Although history is a hard art, something that cannot be molded into a new form once it has congealed, it is an art which takes a strong creative eye which will able to call Bullshit! When we see it. We must know what was done and how it was done, because although we can never duplicate, we can imitate the works of the Great Mystery. Want to know how many hard tests we should put this protagonist through, watch somebody's life go through a growth spurt. Want to know what a villain looks like, listen to some of the very people who are disliked. But we know this, you say. No, we know what used to be the norm. This is now the beginning of the middle of the Information Age and although the wild, wild, west is pretty much over, the dust hasn't completely settled, and this means that what is today's main event will be tomorrow's history. We've still to learn what wisdom to share because we as a society is still collecting information which turns into energy (thoughts and wishes), which turns into experience, which turns into wisdom. Our job, mythologist, is to go through the process without going through the process and that takes skills. The skill is to recognize historical events as they are happening. Mythology ain't no better because although the stories are the same, they are so different. I've often said, hell I barely got the mythologies of yesterday down how can I be at the front lines telling mythologies of tomorrow? But we've got to do it. We've. Got. To. Do. It! We got to know which god has changed his named twenty or thirty times and on top of that what were those names and how did the characteristic traits differ from each other. How else are we going to be able to call Bullshit! when we see it? At the least we need to know that the major gods are supposed to have come out of an area named Sumer and that these deities were aliens, spacemen. Yeah, it's a dirty game and you've got to keep your mind sharp and on the stories. What readers need too know is what these gods and goddesses will do next based on three things: what they've done, the current Information Age, and the upcoming renaissance of the era of enlightenment. Remember our information will turn into tomorrow's wisdom. The process of science is what's going to separate the goats from the sheep. This is the process where we must not only observe and theorize but we must be consistent and accurate while doing it. You know R Kelly before he became jail Kelly. That man can't read or write (which he admitted) but he can sing a hit song into existence. Time after time after time. We must form our own opinions based on our own spirituality. We must be rational and logical while being creative and original. This is something that demands one's own voice and, again, there may not be many of us but those who make the cut will not be able to be fucked with. Time is our friend and ally as it will allow us to be the apprentice, which becomes the fellow, and therefore the eventual master. People are living longer so we, mythologist, have the easy job of translating concepts which are now in the tailpipe. With dedication and much trial and error, you'll be a little scientist. Never too late to start, always reconsider quitting, because ultimately its between you and the Great Spirit and the little spirits which personally and intentionally does the Great Mystery bidding; disembodied but embodied here and there. I used to say if there one, then there are two . . . and so on- you've heard it before. But now I say if there two then there are few, and I will be happy because this game is deep. It's chess man, it's chess. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew
