About the imagined world

Science and myth have a lot in common. They are both describing their view of the world with patterns that resembles their imagery as accurately as possible. Myth is more often not seen as being equally able to achieve this because its workings is almost exclusively taken from the content of the world percieved through the functions of our senses. But both myth and science, clothes its content in a sense of coherency by imagery, and they both require a sharp and observant mind to be able to comprehend the interior world of energetic images, myth often even more so, since its imagery is in large part originating from the world inside, and constantly intertwines with the world out there. Myth have therefore since time immortal been regarded as an important way to handle this interaction.
Statistical normality can tell us a lot about how we want to be perceived as collective beings. It will tell us what personal characteristics, or traits a certain group or community prefer in its individuals. But it will not tell us anything about the specifics of a particular individual apart from group characteristics.
That is why myth always bring a sense of individuality to the imagery of a person, it gives him a personal way of making sense of his imaginations as he come to interact with them when he meet them in his daily life.
No matter the means, if it is a drum, math, or dancing naked, we use this as a vessel to get to our imagination in a focused way. To the template describing the living functionings of the interior world.
With myth we dont have to look around searching for such a pattern, we actually live it.
