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...

CULWISDOM: THE GREEKS

All cultures had myths and sometimes it is hard to understand them. Greek's myths are a beat more clear and they are beautiful.

The gods among all cultures were represented in many different ways. Greek's gods are more similar to humans. On one hand they seem to have a human body and, on the other hand, they seem to have human emotions and even human behavior.



Well, they are depicted in a very human way, but it does not mean they were human like. If they were then they were not gods. The reason is simple: The emotion expressed by a god is to depict something in particular. Anger, for example, represents that the god is not happy with whatever a person did. How could that be represented? Zeus chasing all those mortals look like he was a kind of human women lover. Nevertheless, that is a childish way to see it. This will be explain in another article, check on the bottom for links.

This is blog is to talk about those symbols and meaning. Ancient Greeks were amazing and it cannot be doubt about it.

CULWISDOM – GREEKS AND NORDICS (WISDOM AND MYTHS)

CULWISDOM – GREEKS AND NORDICS (WISDOM AND MYTHS)

The Greeks and Nordics left their wisdom and myths for us to understand them sooner or later as the Celts and the cultures from around the world did. Now days in the 21^st century, the glory of our ancestors will come out to its original splendor.

All cultures had a golden state that was lost in time. The ancient cultures, in that golden state, were able to build great civilizations because they had the original knowledge that belonged to all humans in the beginning.

We need to understand the message of the elders. They knew how to get in harmony with nature and the universe.

How the world could ever forget the great civilization of the Greeks and its philosophers? Let’s remember the great warrior Achilles, the mighty Hercules, Jason and his Argonauts, Perseus, Venus, Minerva, etc.



How can we forget the glory of Odin and Thor (The thunder god)? Now days we have this great movie: THOR.

We will always talk about the great deeds of these heroes. They will always be an example and an inspiration for us and for the future generations.

Time has come where we have to understand not just the great wisdom trapped within the myths of the Greeks and Nordics; but within all cultures including Mayas, Aztecs and Incas.

We will go slowly into a non-classical way to understand the ancient cultures to improve our modern life.

We will need the hammer of Thor to bring light to the age of darkness, which will soon die to let the ancient elders come back to life.

Let’s start with this question: Why myths are important? Why the ancient cultures used this way to explain their wisdom? Why is the time to go back to the elder’s wisdom?
