The various myths which attempt to describe and explain these things tend to have a common thread because, as you say, they contain that 'hidden element of truth' which is the greater reality behind all things. The idea of the cosmic dance expresses these great cycles of time and of creation and a return to the void, the inhaling and exhaling of universes, but it is the stillness at the centre - to quote T.S. Eliot again: 'the still point of the turning world' - around which everything dances, which contains the ultimate awareness.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344595922514131573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010494928772077300.post-73311854450135247942013-12-15T11:58:48.973+01:002013-12-15T11:58:48.973+01:00Thank you Emma for this truly interesting blog!

Many beginnings are shrouded in mystery including the stories and myths surrounding creation. Some myths express a hidden element of truth, not that these myth in some way are true, but that these myths seem to point to a greater reality, something truth they are trying to reveal to us. Within the cycles of creation and dissolution, birth and death, the Cosmic Dance, is that which has no beginning and has no end. When we discover this, we discover who we truly are.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209551489584694322noreply@blogger.com
