Experiencing The Mythical

Experiencing the Mythical

கனவும் மேற்காட்சியுங் காண்பார்க்கு நுதல்விழி
நோக்குண்டே நுனித் துயர
kanavum mERkaadciyung kaaaNpaarkku nutalvizi 
nookkuN dee nunit tuyara

( From Dr Loga's Arutkural )

Western Historicism emphasizes the phenomenal reality and hence World Time consciousness and along with it physical causality. A historical event must have a set of antecedent events which causally determine the event and its nature under question.
Any personal problem is also analyzed in terms of a set of causal events: the cultural background, the sociopolitical patterns of life, the forms of upbringing, early childhood experiences and such other external factors.

Dream experiences shatter all these by throwing us into the realms of the mythical and metaphorical.

The world is begun to be seen as a DRAMA enacted by forces that are powerful and at the same time uncanny. The events in a person's life and in fact what a person is, is constituted by these archetypal forces which are for most of the time unconscious.

This a historical way of seeing the world and what happens to one belongs to the field of transductive perception, the beginning of which is dreaming experience. It is that which has been described as the THIRD EYE which is just a colorful way describing what everybody has a competence that probably remains untapped.

Everybody dreams but only some who can recall them, a limitation that can be corrected by practice.
