How are myths like glue?

it holds people together

If myth is only a collection of stories, of falsehoods, why then does it continue to fascinate us?

it gives us something to question and believe in. It is also very interesting to think that this is a possibility for questions we have about the world and it could be true.

Why is language "everything" in myth?

Language is important in myth because it is a tool in building these worlds and stories. It is about the words and how they are spun together to create something that sticks in your mind and heart.

What does this phrase mean "Myth paints the milestones by which we reckon time."

This phrase is saying how myths are like the way to explain history. They are like the big signs across the road of history.

What is "sacred time"?

It is different from your everyday, linear time and going into a time that's timeless. It is when the usual rules and hours don't apply and people feel connected to the divine or the eternal.

How is history a myth?

History is somewhat a myth because a myth is not a made up fairytale. When people say that history is a myth, it's more about how the stories we tell about the past can get mixed with beliefs and perspectives. Every time someone tells a story about a past event, they put their own spin on it, choosing what to focus on and what to leave out. Over time, these stories can get so polished and dramatic that they're more about the message or the lesson than the facts.

Why must there be "morality in religion and religion in morality"?

The morality of a religion is mostly the reason that you believe in it. You have to agree with the morals and religion gives you a way to live your life with something higher to believe in. There is religion in morality because you believe in your morals and your beliefs about life. They go hand in hand because they both deal with what is right and wrong

Stages of a Hero's Journey: 1. The Ordinary World

The hero, uneasy, uncomfortable or unaware, is introduced sympathetically so the audience can identify with the situation or dilemma. The hero is shown against a background of environment, heredity, and personal history. Some kind of polarity in the hero's life is pulling in different directions and causing stress.

Stages of a Hero's Journey: 2. The Call to Adventure

Something shakes up the situation, either from external pressures or from something rising up from deep within, so the hero must face the beginnings of change.

Stages of a Hero's Journey: 3. Refusal/Acceptance of the Call

The hero feels the fear of the unknown and tries to turn away from the adventure, however briefly. Alternately, another character may express the uncertainty and danger ahead.

Stages of a Hero's Journey: 4. Meeting with the Mentor

The hero comes across a seasoned traveler of the worlds who gives him or her training, equipment, or advice that will help on the journey. Or the hero reaches within to a source of courage and wisdom.

Stages of a Hero's Journey: 9. The Reward

The hero takes possession of the treasure won by facing death. There maybe celebration, but there is also danger of losing the treasure again.

Stages of a Hero's Journey: 10. The Road Back

About three-fourths of the way through the story, the hero is driven to complete the adventure, leaving the Special World to be sure the treasure is brought home. Often a chase scene signals the urgency and danger of the mission.

Stages of a Hero's Journey: 11. The Resurrection

At the climax, the hero is severely tested once more on the threshold of home. He or she is purified by a last sacrifice, another moment of death and rebirth, but on a higher and more complete level. By the hero's action, the polarities that were in conflict at the beginning are finally resolved.
