Book excerpt: What is the future of humanity? Are the ones that say the world is coming to an end correct? Is this the Apocalypse? Yes, the world is coming to an end, however, it is not the physical world that is ending but the world of conflict in which we currently live. The Universe is challenging us to expand our understanding of what it means to be human, to recognize the connections that exist between nature and all of humanity. We are not separate but are part of One. Although this does not seem likely from our common everyday experience, it is true. Many of the great mythologies, religions, and philosophies have pointed to this same principle of unity. Our technology has made it possible for us to be in contact with people of wildly diverse cultures and beliefs. The paradox we face is "Can we learn to clearly see the unity that encompasses the entire globe in the midst of all the diversity that surrounds us?" We can and we will. Accomplishing this will require that we redefine ourselves in a more expanded way. In so doing we create the space to coexist in peace with one another. This new definition must include what we have learned throughout the ages from our spiritual and religious experiences. It must also include what we have learned in the modern age through science. This can be done, the tools we need are all around us. This new definition is theMythology for the New World. It is one ways we will surpass the barriers that separate us. Together we will create a world of peace and safety-a world in which we all remember that we belong to each other.

Download or read book Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes written by Cory O'Brien and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creator of Myths Retold comes a hilarious collection of Greek, Norse, Chinese and even Sumerian myths retold in their purest, bawdiest forms! All our lives, we’ve been fed watered-down, PC versions of the classic myths. In reality, mythology is more screwed up than a schizophrenic shaman doing hits of unidentified…wait, it all makes sense now. In Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, Cory O’Brien, creator of Myths RETOLD!, sets the stories straight. These are rude, crude, totally sacred texts told the way they were meant to be told: loudly, and with lots of four-letter words. Did you know? Cronus liked to eat babies. Narcissus probably should have just learned to masturbate. Odin got construction discounts with bestiality. Isis had bad taste in jewelry. Ganesh was the very definition of an unplanned pregnancy. And Abraham was totally cool about stabbing his kid in the face. Still skeptical? Here are a few more gems to consider: • Zeus once stuffed an unborn fetus inside his thigh to save its life after he exploded its mother by being too good in bed. • The entire Egyptian universe was saved because Sekhmet just got too hammered to keep murdering everyone. • The Hindu universe is run by a married couple who only stop murdering in order to throw sweet dance parties…on the corpses of their enemies. • The Norse goddess Freyja once consented to a four-dwarf gangbang in exchange for one shiny necklace. And there’s more dysfunctional goodness where that came from.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Myths of the New World" is a treatise on the symbolism and the mythology of the Native Americans of the United States. Scholar and author Daniel G. Brinto poses the questions, "What are man's earliest ideas of a soul and a God, and of his own origin and destiny? Why do we find certain myths, such as of a creation, a flood, an after-world; certain symbols, as the bird, the serpent, the cross; certain numbers, as the three, the four, the seven—intimately associated with these ideas by every race? What are the laws of growth of natural religions? How do they acquire such an influence, and is this influence for good or evil? Such are some of the universally interesting questions which I attempt to solve by an analysis of the simple faiths of a savage race."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Myths of the New World: A Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of the Red Race of America I have written this work more for the thoughtful general reader than the antiquary. It is a study of an obscure portion of the intellectual history of our species as exemplified in one of its varieties. What are man's earliest ideas of a soul and a God, and of his own origin and destiny? Why do we find certain myths, such as of a creation, a flood, an after world; certain symbols, as the bird, the serpent, the cross; certain numbers, as the three, the four, the seven - intimately associated with these ideas by every race? What are the laws of growth of natural reli gions? How do they acquire such an influence, and is this influence for good or evil? Such are some of the universally interesting questions which I attempt to solve by an analysis of the simple faiths of a savage race.
