ZEUS-JUPITER: THE FATHER OF THE GODS.

Greek myths of heroes and gods are awesome. They are really immortal because we talk about them over and over. Zeus (Jupiter for the Romans) is the greatest and usually the most not understood god. He is depicted so human that it is easy to think he was human or even less than human. He is depicted so human that it is easy to think he was human or even less than human. All the stories about being a lover boy and chasing mortal women give him a bad reputation.but... Did you ever think of its meaning?

 How can anyone think he was doing that in a literal way? If he were doing that he could not be a god and even less the Father of the Gods.

It could be easy to copy the myths and say something like "Well, that was the way gods were." But smart people goes beyond the literal meaning. My blogs are for open minded people and for those searching for something different.

What a great title: The Father of the Gods. Isn't it?

What all these myths mean? let's see...

MEANING OF MYTHS, SYMBOLS AND PARABLES

WHY WISDOM IS NOT CLEAR OR DIRECT?

Wisdom is for everybody, but it is not for everybody. Wisdom comes to all human beings, but not all of them are able to understand it.
You can explain whatever you want to everybody, but we, teachers, know that not everybody understands what we explain. It takes a special faculty to grab knowledge and make it part of our life.
Well, if not everybody can understand wisdom then, how can we help those who are not able to understand it? The answer is really simple: Explain them what is enough for their level of understanding.

Obviously we can teach basic mathematics to kids, but when they are ready we can explain them algebra and later calculus and so on. The more they know the most they understand. Easy, right?

Well, MYTHS, SYMBOLS, PARABLES WERE MADE FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT READY FOR THE WHOLE TRUTH; BUT THE DEEP MEANING OF THEM ARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE READY AND ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT HAT IS REAL WISDOM.

Those who are not ready for the real thing will be happy with the literal understanding without a real analysis of the meaning. Those people take everything in a literal way. They believe the planet was made in 7 days and men were created from mud just because the Bible says so. But how a planet can be created in 7 days when all the planets in the universe took millions of year to be formed? How can a toy of mud become alive? How can people believe that? Those are tales for kids. Please, note this: I AM NOT SAYING THE BIBLE IS TELLING LIES. I AM SAYING: DO NOT TAKE THE MYTHS, SYMBOLS AND PARABLES IN A LITERAL WAY. I explain some of these meaning on my blogs. Just check around and find them.

THE MATTER OF A SYMBOL, A MYTH AND A PARABLE IS THE MEANING. Symbols, myths and parables are only tools to express a high wisdom, actually I mean the original wisdom. The wisdom that ancient Masters like Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Quetzalcoatl, etc. had.

Whoever takes all these symbols in a literal way is making a huge mistake. Wisdom does not depend on interpretations. Wisdom requires a special language for those able to understand it.

Myths are talking about real things, but is a very symbolic way. Those Greek heroes are telling us about real deeds we all can do, but those monsters that were killed by Hercules, Perseus, etc. are just representations of tasks we all have to fulfill in order to get a higher level of consciousness. The serpent (My favorite symbol) has many meanings that I explain on the article: THE MEANING OF THE SERPENT (Check for link on the bottom).

Parables, myths and symbols are a language understood by...
