Untitled by Audra Skuodas Image: Human beings are bound to each other through the Mother. As her children, we share a blood-bond with all creation; we are all made the same; from her flesh, her soul, her desires, her dreams. Under patriarchy, this mystical blood bond is broken. Our flesh-bond becomes the source of all evil. Under Judaism, Christianity, Islam and State-communism-- the compulsion to control or destroy the flesh of the other has been historically stronger than the stated desire of brotherhood. "This perpetual success of war and failure of peace is then said to be the human condition" -- but it is only the condition of humans under patriarchy. Patriarchy is based on secular not sacred relationship and on property possession which utterly excludes the experience or ecstatic communion. Patriarchal religions are based on the this terrible and unnatural split in the human psyche and projected into the "scientific" perception of mental. -- Barbara Mor - M. Sjoo

Untitled by Audra Skuodas Image: Myth, as a history of the Soul, is still a history, and each stage of the evolution of consciousness
Untitled by Audra Skuodas Image: generates its appropriate story. As the spiral of history turns, one archetypal story becomes a recapitulation.

Untitled by Audra Skuodas Image: "Myth is the history of the Soul. The history of the ego, with its succession of kings and empires, technologies and wars is what we are all taught in school. As the lie commonly agreed upon, history becomes the apology for whatever class is in power or wishes to come to power. In our age a class of behavioral and political scientists hope to wield power over nature and culture and through genetic engineering and socio-biology to alter the natural selection of the body and the artificial selection of culture to create a perfect, scientific society rationally planned and rationally managed. Myth and religion, as the old ancestral heritage from the dark ages before the rise of the Technological Society, stand in the way , and so the social scientists have re-written history to bring it under their control. The history of the Soul is obliterated, the universe is shut out, and on the wall of Platos's cave the experts in the casting of the shadows tell the story of Man's rise from ignorance to science through the power of technology. -- W. I. Thompson
