Many of the scriptures underlining many of the world's religion all say the 'same thing' - if we open our mind and read them as METAPHOR. The clues are dispersed among all cultures. When one understands each culture better, one can see how their present day culture has 'colored' the 'original' story. Ever play that game "Telephone?" (Wikipedia)

Over time pride has built up in each society. They each think they are the chosen ones. Here's the rub - we collectively are the 'chosen' ones. That is what will bring our world together - the realization that it is only our pride that has prevented us from learning from each other's stories.

The famous author, Joseph Campbell, who wrote the Power of Myth, talks about how many of the stories are the same, just told over and over. But - what if the root story is true?

Native Wisdom
for White Minds
by Anne Wilson Schaef

We don't need any more smart people in this world. We need more wisdom, but even that is no good -
unless people are GOOD.

What is wisdom? The coming armageddon will teach us this lesson for a long time to come. I'm certain of this.

Power of Myth
by Joseph Campbell

Wiki article

This celebrated author studied many cultures and talked about how the stories are all similar between different cultures. The DVD can get a little dry at times, but worth watching. I don't know if he ever suspected that the root stories could actually be a description of events to come.

The Key
by James Frey

 I only read this as I was writing a fiction book prior to my event. If you enjoy the Power of Myth, this might be interested to read, even though it is geared toward writers.
