I believe in the reality of Myth!

The only problem being that we speak in metaphors.

I am of the opinion that there must have been a civilization far greater advanced than our own thousands of years ago.

How many years ago? Eons, Eons, Eons, ago.

I interpret the story of Adam and Eve as being the Story of Yin\Yang, Eve being Yin and Adam being Yang.

The story of Adam and Evil not ending with Man being born of the dust of the ground nor the creation of Eve, Eve being a Creation born of the side of Adam; Said story of Yin\Yang to include the eating of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, said Knowledge being duplicitous, guileful, being the Knowledge, a Singularity having a dual quality, The Knowledge of Good and Evil, Absolutely Bad Knowledge imagined to be absolutely Good Knowledge, being an Illusion of Reality.

A simple pair of opposites do not a duality make!

I see Adam and Eve, Yin\Yang, as being separate and distinct without being separate and distinct.

Meaning that Adam and Eve, Yin\Yang, are not only born of, not only issue forth from the same source, they are One in the same; Adam and Eve, Yin\Yang, are, in the beginning, simply two different Names gives to Man’s view of Reality as seen from Two different points of View, the Knowledge of Reality becoming distorted, perverted, an abomination, if viewed but from One particular Single Point of View.

An Illusion is a Graven Image of Reality, a false Image, is a Reality that must be impressed deeply into the Mind in order to exist as a Reality.

Reality under normal circumstance, normal meaning according to Nature, exists independent of our thoughts, our ideas, our conjecture, our speculation, our Imaginings concerning it.
