HEROES IN MYTHS, IN ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS AND IN MODERN LIFE.

INTRODUCTION.

Greek heroes like Hercules and Perseus inspire many lives. Thor and the great Nordics gods too. The myths of heroes and gods have a magical touch that make us love them mover and mover. Heroes are everywhere in ancient civilizations and nowadays we have the modern super-heroes to entertain us.  Actually modern super-heroes come from the idea of ancient heroes and gods from mythology.


Heroes inspire our life. We always need someone to trust, someone who is an example for us. We love heroes and heroines too. Life without them could be really meaningless.
Heroes from our ancient past inspired many generations. Their deeds were told everywhere and when time passes by they became myths. It does not mean they did not exist. It means their life was left to us as mythological. Why? Simple, the art of decoding the great realities is written in symbols. It is never told in a mere profane language. 

All ancient cultures had a great knowledge or wisdom for the high hierarchies and priests.  Regular people had not the knowledge to understand real wisdom. It had always been that way. 

Hercules, Perseus, Thor, Quetzalcoatl, etc. existed. They are not mere myths, but their deeds were written in symbols and they became myths.


One example: Buddha. It is said when he was born he talked and explain what he was coming for. Moreover, he gave seven steps and from each step lotus flowers came out from the ground. How can we take that in a literal way? There is no way I could believe that happen as it was written. Nevertheless, I do not say it is a lie. I say it is written in a symbolic way. The “talking” represents the higher level of consciousness that being had. In ancient times, the power of talking was a symbol of intelligence and power. Those seven steps represent the seven chakras, which he had worked in past lives and he is bringing to this new life to become THE BUDDHA, THE AWAKEN ONE!

Now let’s talk about some heroes from different cultures, from those great civilizations.

THE MIGHTY HERCULES:
No, he was not a body builder. That strength represents a spiritual strength and not a physical one.  Nature has one law: THE STRONGEST SURVIVE! The spiritual path is a natural path and therefore it has the same law.

SAINT VALENTINE’S DAY.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION.

It is a very popular day in the modern era. Nevertheless it started in the Anglo-Saxon countries, but it extended to the whole world, especially now with the internet. There are several theories about how this celebration started. Well, in the Nordic countries birds start to mate and form it this period of the year is related to love and/or creation. Eventually the “Day of Love” became the “Day of Love and Friendship.”

Esther A. Howland started, in 1840, to sale cards which were called “Valentines.” Now day because of our technology we can send ecards, which are very popular. She was using drawings of  Cupid (The Roman god of love) or hearts.


Aphrodite and Eros were the gods of love, in the Greek mythology. They were Venus and Cupid, for the Romans. LOVE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE, BUT JUST A FEW PERSONS CAN UNDERSTAND THEM AND FEELTHEM AS THEY ARE! That is why myths have that powerful attraction to the great souls! Read this article: MYTHS OF LOVE.
 Here you have some alternatives for free Valentine’s cards: egreetings, dayspring and ecardia (Just click on any of them and you can send a nice ecard to the one you love):



 SAINT VALENTINE!

Who was Saint Valentine? Actually the question should be: Who WERE Saint Valentines? According to history there were several of them: Valentine of Rome (Valentinus presb. m. Romae) and Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae) and a third one was killed in Africa on Februray 14. They had been martyred!!!

The soldiers were prohibited, in the III century, to get married because the empire wanted them to be single, so they could battle without emotional affections.  Nevertheless; Valentine of Terni, it is said, used to marry the soldiers in secrecy. Valentine was sent to jail and sentenced to death when  Claudious II, the Emperor of Rome, knew it.

 It seems that those saints had nothing to do with love, at least not the way we celebrate now days. Maybe they were known as saints who spoke about love more than usual or in a very beautiful and particular way.

HOW DO WE CELEBRATE AND WHEN?

Most of the countries celebrate that especial date on FEBRUARY 14, but some countries have another date.  Brazil, for example, celebrates it on June 21; Chile on July 20; Egypt on November 4; China on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Chinese year (Lunar calendar) and in Japan this celebration has two dates: One in February 14 when women give a gift to men and then on the next month men give a present to women (Chocolate is the usual gift given on both dates)

IS SANVALENTINE’S DAY A COMMERCIAL DAY?

Now days everything is commercial even Christmas, but it does not mean you should not celebrate it. Actually, you must be grateful if you have someone to love and if you are loved. What else can be better than that?
It does not matter is the celebration became an economic celebration; the matter is to show your sympathy or love for someone. Many people see the economic influence, especially from USA; but the fact is: YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE A SAINT VALENTINE EVERYDAY, YOU SHOULD BE GLAD TO HAVE SOMEONE TO LOVE EVERYDAY. Well, at least one day can remind you about how lucky you are.

So do not stop or refrain from getting something nice and pretty for the sweet heart you have. Instead hurry up and get something good to show how grateful you are to have that especial person!

So, it is better not to forget about that person who is the owner of your heart!

SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION TO THAT PERSON EVERYDAY!
