Wild thinking for Claude Levi-Strauss, clue of past enigmas for Mircea Eliade, magical mirror for Immanuel Velikovsky, mythologies keep on questioning us. Beneath their odd exterior, those unlikely chronicles authenticate each other.

Myths Are History Before History

Being eternal, mythologies remind us of a different world which is also quite familiar. Being efficient, they attract those who can believe in them and not.See Croire sans y croire Being real, they speak about magical agesSee L'âge d'or that came before ours. Often translated in different languages, chiefly by word of mouth,Like fairy tales.See l'or pur des contes they took colours and perfumes from all cultural backgrounds, while keeping the purity of their origins. Beyond those little differences, all myths speak the same, they tell us the same story, which authenticated them undoubtedly.

Some myths were written at different times in the past; they became the ancient cultures' founding verses, the different religions' holy books. After millenariums of oral transmission,  writing fixed them for ever, so they belong to that specific time. Therefore they were transformed into permanent dogmas. Other myths, more numerous, were spread orally in form of talesSee L'or pur des contes  and popular songs. This poor relation to myth drank in the bars, danced in the streets and worked in the fields.

Under such a shabby appearance, what can be left of the original secret? How amazing as it can be, the changes they suffered from time injuries didn't betray them. Apparently their original message was powerful enough to protect them and save itself. These popular tales, these rural legends, spread silently in our collective unconscious. They are echoing in literature, opera, arts, cinema and comics. Humble as they are, you don't even see them at first sight.

Playing with young kids, we repeat innocently those ancient verses as all kids like it.

They form the basis of our worlwide culture, they enrich and beautify it. Definitely not naive, these poor man's myths represent the highest degree of science, of subtlety and knowledge human nature can ever have.

When An Old Person Dies…

Myths are too perfect stories to be born alone,Nothing was created out of nothing; see Close et achevée without intention or author. To write all the mythical stories, some wise men were placing most of their knowledge into these easy-to-remember fables.See L'enseignement soufi Sages threw then those messages through time, hoping they would be found some day. They all tell an only story, ours. They are the precious legacy from ancient gods.To learn more, click on + below

To complete the legacy, these legends have to be combined into one. Their perfumes have to unite and make us remember of a time when giants walked on Earth, when nuke bombs exploded,See Shiva fait la bombe when Titans straightened the axe of Earth.See Le mythe d'Atlas Those lost times when Masters of LightningSee Les maîtres de la foudre built giant temples to be baptized by fire from the sky,See Le secret des grandes pierres and to drink lightning's water that made them real gods.

…A Library Disappears

Shall we follow them on their giants' heels.See L'empreinte des géants Shall we shiver and then marvel at their strength. Shall we be moved in front of their achievements' greatness, and then dream up. When the adventure first started, a witness lived it. So can he whisper it in our ears. There are so many apples in the orchard of knowledge, so many gold fruits waiting for man to pick them. Let's dig wells in the past's huge depth. And so, sooner or later, the truth will spring from them.

Back To Mankind's Childhood

Childhood memories for each one of us and for our entire  race,The fourth if we beieve Hesiode. See Back to Eden  legends and talesSee L'or pur des contes were created to make the world become sharply awake. A fabulous universe, more noble and pleasant than ours, where we attacked trolls, joker korrigans, heavenly elves and fairies. Our lost heaven, an inestimable source. Definitely not fables but rather the crypt where our past lies.

We must decipher our distorted, forgotten past. It is really hard to stay loyal to it today, to escape from the matrix, to reject programmed dreams from Hollywood or elsewhere. Harder and harder to resist the big steamroller of progress. But easier too. In cities, it becomes harder. In the country, it gets easier from day to day, from hour to hour. Every citizen should everyday, in summer and winter, walk a few steps, barefoot on Sacred Earth.Voir Pieds nus sur la terre sacrée Monks did it, with good reasons.Voir L'oeil du labyrinthe

Holy Science

And above all, there are myths. The former godsSee Nos pères créateurs gave us a  holy scienceVoir "Le testament des dieux" en cliquant sur la touche + with them. A fantastic adventure ground, where virtual realities spread out, filling us with wonder. They teach us too, myths are history lessons. They speak about us, about what Man used to be, about what kind of species we were, long time ago. And about what we were in this life, when we were children.

As everyone knows, a child naturally gets on well with hidden, tiny people. It is comforting for a child to find smaller beings; at this age, memories of the enchanted world are not totally forgotten. Until three years old, children have psychic powers. Fortunately, they don't use them very often. With time, education we think we give them breaks their magical link to the world. School atrophies these powers, hardly subsisting in a few great children, artists or visionaries. All those who still use their brain's right hemisphere.See L'excès rationaliste
