[like a] poem
life imitates art
i've always thought that is an asinine statement
whose to say what is real and what is not
ain't life like art and vice versa
one can't be without the other
both nourish each other
and finally both are another
it was that my mind was blown this morning
when a priest came to my window at work
and said don't you think those ancient mayan carvings
of people with those large heads are aliens
the ancients came from space ships
and their heads were big because those were helmets
it turns out he went on to say even the science
dept. of the vatican published a paper stating that christ
came from the heavens on board a star cruiser
no shit it's documented look it up
now how can life not be art and art be a life
after witnessing that exchange

"
What we are to our inward vision,
and what man appears to be
sub specie aeternitatis, can only
be expressed by way of myth.
Myth is more individual and expresses
life more precisely than does
science.

--C.G.Jung
Is a dominion over myths
an ownership of souls?
probably, jim, even if i say myth shall have no dominion over my poor wretched shadow of a soul. there was a story broadcast on npr today where a researcher studied our apparent need for supernatural belief in a higher power from an evolutionary model. fascinating research where the scientist, an avowed atheist, admitted to believing even if momentarily, the supernatural. seems our brains are just wired that way and i think ufo myths and other varied beliefs in the paranormal, my own esp., are alternate myth-making vehicles, a way to wish to express the inneffable and perhaps even, dare i say it, the divine, even should i not think there is such thing as the divine.
