All the things in the world come from Being.
And Being comes from Non-Being.
Lao Tzu
Myths, fables, and stories passed down to us from antiquity are
sources of vital information if they are correctly used. Often the
narrative uses people, animals, or gods that are like people or
animals as a means of expressing ideas. This is done because such
narratives ar more easily remembered, and memory was very important
at a time when writing had not yet been invented.
In my research into ancient civilizations, it became obvious that
myths, fables, and stories exist for several reasons. Some of these
reasons are given below.
1. They are ways of remembering places or things.
2. They are ways of remembering concepts.
3. They are ways of recording history in a condensed form.
4. They are ways of showing complex theories in a condensed and
more easily visualized form.
5. They are ways of doing some of the above, all of the above, or
more.
When I was quite a bit younger, I was given a book of the tales of
Uncle Remus (the stories of Brer Rabbit). Kids today are not
allowed the privilege of reading that book because some people were
so stupid that they thought the book was condescending to black
people. Actually, the book was a collection of fables showing the
down-to-earth wisdom of Uncle Remus and his charming, magnificent way
of giving it young folks. Political correctness has a way of
shooting itself in the foot.
Aesop's Fables was another way to do the same kind of thing that the
Brer Rabbit stories did. However, to my knowledge these fables can
still be acquired for young people. The tales of the Australian
Aborigines are still available as well.
When I first started doing my own translating of the Book of Genesis
in what Christians call the Old Testament, I was using the work of
scholars from Lexicons to translate from old Hebrew. I was also
using the number equivalents of the Hebrew glyphs to decode them.
Like many others had done before me, I discovered that the Hebrew
version of the Old Testament was actually a time capsule filled with
wisdom that cannot be learned in our schools today. Most people are
not really serious about their religion. If they were, they would
be doing their own translating and the Christians and Jews would be
discovering the truths that were encoded in the Hebrew. But most
people would rather read the comics in the Sunday paper or watch the
football game on television.
One of the things that seems evident to me (...)
