Post Creation myth.
After the ‘big bang’, millions of years ago, what some people call ‘soul’ or ‘spirit’ began to get together, to coalesce. This came about because people’s brains had grown bigger than the other animals, and all the memories they had contained were attracted to each other, rather like moisture likes to form clouds. Because the memories were only information, this happened in another dimension, one that theoretical physicists explore. So we could call it the ‘information dimension, or ‘Id’ for short.
Several millennium later, (what we would call an eternity), all these ‘information memories’ became extremely bored. As you can imagine - they couldn’t actually do anything - it was like being trapped in a cinema forever, and they couldn’t even eat popcorn!
Well, one century, they decided to have a meeting. It was a very long meeting due to the fact that there was no chair - like evolution - it just happened. Eventually, several centuries later, they agreed that they could not stand the boredom any longer, so they split up - like clouds sometimes do on a fine day - some parts wandered off, lonely as flotsam. Other parts decided to make use of the strange phenomena that enabled all newborn things to access skills that had been learnt by their predecessors.
They discovered that they could add something to these inborn skills, (which as we all know, cannot be present at the moment of conception). Like a bird soaring on a thermal, they knew what was happening but not how. They started to influence the behaviour of these early people, giving them ideas. But because those people had no understanding of that strange ‘information dimension’, most of them got hold of the wrong end of the stick, so that was how the pantheon of Greek gods acquired their names, and it was the cause of religious wars and conflicts of ideology.
Every so often, someone was born who was particularly receptive to this ‘information dimension’, and they would become Shamans, soothsayers, oracles, and even the founders of new religions. No longer was there boredom in the other dimension. The various parts had influence over the different sections of humanity. But the more they tried to make things better, the worse things became; so misunderstanding proliferates to this day.
Some people have got very close to discovering how this operates. In spite of his strange obsessions, or maybe because of them, Freud started a new ball rolling. Strangely enough, one of his concepts was the ‘Id’ - which he said contained the primitive concepts of the unconscious mind. And so, the process of discovery goes on, carrying with it the burden of past confusion.
