| Summary: | The word "Myth" is used here as "primarily related to pre- history") It also connotes that symbol of articulation of a pre- predicative experience man enjoyed and witnessed in a com- munity in a bygone age. This primordial encounter of a people with the Reality adopted "symbolization" and "articulation" in the pro- cess of its communication and transmission of heritage which con- tained the sum total of all that their forefathers actualized in their times by way of direct experience of the Reality in diverse ways and forms. Myth as "articulation" of the primordial experience of an ethnic group implies also a certain degree of "crea- tivity" and not mere imitation of the naturalism of their fore- fathers. In this process of creative communication every "myth" indicates some aspect of the "Reality" beyond rationalization, exhibits certain deeper dimensions of truth beyond the shadow- plays of Nature, and evokes intuition on the mysterion, which is simultaneously "awe-inspiring and fascinating". |
