The key to defining a prosperous history is how a people define themselves. And the key to defining a prosperous and actualized person is how they define themselves. This is the key to preventing both a tragic culture and a tragic psychological life. Understanding how we define ourselves and how we should be living is the meaning of, “the meaning of life.” This is the ultimate question we should be focusing on, and prosperity is the ultimate answer.

The key to understanding this question is Mythology. Narrative, stories, and Mythology is how consciousness perceives its reality.

That’s also why it’s important to listen to people. Really seriously listen to people when they have something to say. This is what they say through the lens of their perspective and the story of what they tell themselves.

That’s why you’ll often learn something interesting and worth listening to. And not just learn some idea, but learn something that’s actually useful. That’s why you should also be skeptical of someone when they speak. Because sometimes it might not be good to define your reality through the perspective someone else is offering.

And understanding how this process works in yourself is essential to understanding how individual consciousness experiences itself in the world. This isn’t just thinking about consciousness as it perceives the world, but how consciousness as a concept independent of perception, experiences itself in the world. This is what consciousness actually is.

Understanding Mythology is how we understand the consciousness experience of reality as a narrative.

Understanding the mythology of a culture is essential to understanding how a culture experiences reality and how they’ve survived in it.

Understanding the mythology of an individual is essential to understanding how an individual experiences reality and how they’ve survived in it.

Understanding the mythology of demos/people is essential to understanding how a demos/people experience reality and how they’ve survived in it.

Understanding Mythology and our place in the ultimate narrative is how we know where we are in our/the narrative.

This is the heart of prosperous politics, theology, philosophy, academia, wealth creation, community management, medicine, marketing, entertainment, and art. It’s the heart of prosperity and fulfillment in general. This is “hitting the mark.” Not just in the actual felt sense, but as the abstraction itself.

And Mythology is the story of it. The story of how we experience it. The narrative of experience itself. Experience itself.

The individual Consciousness looking up to see the ultimate Consciousness It’s apart of.

Experience as a subjective staring into the objective core of what it is. Consciousness staring into the ultimate conscious core of reality. From a certain angle, this vibrant, prosperous, and shimmering core of reality is an abyss. It’s best not to stare too long into this abyss for reasons only Nietzsche would best understand.

Instead, just be mindful and focus on the experience itself, rather than experience itself.

When facing hardship and burned by flame / We look to myth for where to aim / As stories of old were understood / Extract the gold and make it good.
