see that the Bible (and all other Holy Scriptures) are Mythical writings? How can they fail to see the metaphor for something that goes far deeper than the story of creation? Surely, they must be clever enough to understand the golden thread of comparative mythology, showing the one Monomyth of life?

This onesided and almost deliberate blind eye to the monomythical concept as well as not thinking beyond the automated fractal machine, limits their evolution as human beings severely. It simply places them in the opposite corner, rendering them team 'no' in the battle of ignorance.

The 'Yes' Group

The 'yessers', fall into a very wide category: from fundamentalist religious madmen (of all religions) to enlightened & open-minded scientists and mystics. Last mentioned, usually never try and prove the existence or non-existence of God; they simply enjoy 'being'. It is usually the fundamental groups that go slightly to severely berserk if the notion of the Existence of God is challenged. But to these, one must ask: why is it only your god that is the right god? Why do Christians, Jews and Muslims fight bloody wars, if they all believe in the God of Abraham, and essentially use the same Kabbalistic scriptures of the Torah? Come to think of it, why do Christian sections fight amongst each other? Does it really matter whether Christ was man or god? Isn't his teachings more important than he himself as he tried to teach his followers? Can't we see that all religions are based on the same stories all over the world; based on the monomyth of life? Can't we see that 'God', is the metaphor for the force we can never fully understand, the force that 'breathes life' into the fractal engine we call the universe?

Why are we all so deliberately blind to the obvious; so keen on creating melodramatic scenes, categorizing ourselves into groups in the corners, willing to fight to the death for our ignorant pop-dramas? Is it maybe because we ourselves, are falling prey to the monomyth: being the heroes and villains of the fractal engine, toying with us like puppets on strings?
Maybe this is the meaning of life...to escape this automated fractal pattern of being clever primates, falling for the primate gene programming to choose sides, and fight for prey/ female/ land?

Maybe the time has come for some, to realise this and escape from the monkey-in-suit syndrome, and evolve into a higher being; a being en search for the origin of All?
