LEGENDS: Some thoughts on how myths shape consciousness

	Legends aren't just myths:
	they're invitations to explore new worlds
	and discover meanings eclipsed.

	Legends are not ordinary facts:
	they're whispers of truths
	about some believe should remain intact.

	Legends serve as guides 
	to hidden dimensions,
	helping us awaken inside.

	Though ridiculed by many
	and dissected "scientifically"
	legends are a spiritual fabric
	connecting us with collective dreams.


Nadia:	 We should never underestimate the power of legends.

Wan-Sze: I worry about that. What we need is more facts – not myths or legends.

Will:	 Humans can never comprehend all the "facts" about any topic. That's why we invent legends.
