I got to thinking about how these ideas, beliefs, truths, of mythology have spread wide and far. Wider and farther than the pollen carried on the lips of bees. I mean we can say it started with the Sumerians, but truth be told, it was pretty much everywhere. With that, let's say for those who feel mythology is nothing but old wives' tales and stories to scare wee ones, we pretend that there was no god, no gods, and no aliens, but plain old Earthlings living and doing plain old Earthling stuff when it comes to storytelling. Now the question becomes just how did mythology get its mobility?
Industrious, that's what Earthlings are. I do not and would not put it pass the reasoning of necessity of understanding for the stories that would eventually stick in the collective psyche to be born. Saying and agreeing with that, we must go further. Either we are all connected and therefore pulled on the same key ingredients of necessity or one group was somehow more ingenious than all the rest of us and came up with motifs which would answer everyone's primitive and far reaching questions for understanding of this creation of matter called life. We know the answer; there is a collective truth which must be expressed for the creation to move forth, hence the mobility of mythology- then and now. It is my belief that new stories (new mythologies) are about to be born and with them a shift in experience and wisdom. But the effectiveness of these new stories will be gaged by how well the embedded information translate and how portable the desire to manifest will be. Mobility of mythology is a tricky thing. One must be able to speak to the Spirit of the listener and have enough self-confidence that she knows the seeds which she is dropping will bloom one day into wild adventures and deep longings. So what are some of the things today's mythologist can do? One, release all connections to the current mythologies. I mean not even in storytelling can one really effectively put new wine in old skins. Two, release the high speed life of society. It will take a lot of solitude and vulnerability to hear the future and we can only hear the future while living in the present by giving up the past. Three, release the mob or pack mentality. You cannot provide the vision for tomorrow by trying to be loved, looked up to, and embraced by the masses today. It may sound strange, depending on isolation and innovation to create mobile stories of motivation; but that is the only way we can receive clean stories without duplication. Individuality is the key to mobility. Individuality is the new (or improved) tool of today's mythologist. And remember, if you are immortal, you will get to see, maybe live, the stories you share, one day but not . . .anyway, hold on to the truth that mobility, even with the speed of the internet, is a slow moving, slow learning fix. Without the gods to assist. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew
