The Myth Creates the Reality

this is insight Joan received in a recent journey:

"“There are two ways of working with spiritual information. The way you know well is how to feel energy that is present, and to create a story to let that energy bubble up to consciousness. By naming the energy, you process it.

“The other way, a more profound way, is to live the myth to create the reality. Create the story, live the energy of the story, and that creates the reality in the physical world.... It is the step you have feared to take: to become the myth and create the reality. It means to not be content simply with what your individual consciousness can comprehend, and what it seeks for its own purposes. Instead, you will embody the Dream that the Dreamer (the Creator) is dreaming. This is a much more powerful way of working with the spirit realm. It is the step you are being called to take.”

it is somewhat disconcerting to take on a whole new consciousness, one that is not one's individual consciousness, and yet is something one is part of. It is an amazing, wonderful reality to support and participate in.

the goddess Athena has many correspondences with Brigid, the main deity to whom the Eye of Vision is dedicated. She appeared at the end of this meditation. Brigid / Athena is very comfortable with this energy, as goddesses of the Upperworld, who create the “blueprints” for what transpires in the material realm.
