An intriguing Intriguing Sci- – Fi – Fantasy Trilogy
Recognizing the human parallels in mythology
Greetings, fellow explorers of creative thought:
The myths and legends of the past, tell of many superhuman beings of extraordinary magical powers and advanced supersonic gadgets who existed on earth. Today, the same images can be viewed as Godlike beings with knowledge of advanced technology that existed and ruled the earth in ancient and modern times. Through the advancement of the media in our civilization, these mythical entities are now appearing as cartoon, media, and comic book characters who traverse the land, travel under the sea, in the air, among the planets and galaxies whose stories are made into games and toys for our children to enjoy.
We see mechanical robots in the movies that act like humans, like the stories we read in Homer’s tales. At the same time, we seem to have moved beyond the levels of entertainment where “the Cow jumped over the moon, and the little dog laughed to see such fun” to more dynamic presentations of unusual superhuman beings who sometimes look like us and come from many different galaxies.
In reflection, many fantastic stories of these modern superhuman characters, who sometimes wear masks and other distinguishing costumes and represent Good and Evil, have become the standard Genre for entertainment today as Sci-Fi Action/Adventure stories. But haven’t these types of characters and stories already been accepted in our imaginations as good and evil Deities in our religious and metaphysical doctrines in ancient times?
The minds of the human artists and writers of tall tales have now brought images that once brought fear and damnation to our distant ancestors into our modern culture as entertainment; after viewing great and cunning displays of powerful superhuman entities on a mammoth screen, we can go on with our lives unaffected by the experience.
EXAMPLES OF SUPERHUMAN ACTION HEROES & VILLANS
Parallels of our past could be categorized as memories that are measured by time and distance, but because of human mental and physical complexities, many memories have no chronological timeline. Unlike ancient times, advanced technologies now afford us the opportunity to capture a snapshot in time with a modern camera and a period with moving three-dimensional images through a video camera.
The optical illusions created by modern technology take our minds back and forth with images that transcend our immediate reality. With the vehicle of the audio visual, we are transported to distant times in history and watch the transition of human behavior from our immediate past to our present and into the perceived future. Some schools of thought suggest that we are living in a world of illusion while awake, and the real world could be in our dreams. With artificial intelligence, we may soon create, capture, and traverse new, unimaginable worlds in our time. Who knows?
Because of these scientific achievements, it is presumed that homo sapiens will continue to evolve in intelligence and spiritual awareness. Along with more scientific breakthroughs, it would be assumed that the future of the human species would be assured. Some scientists have already added a new element to the human definition of such progress – we are now called Homo Sapiens, Sapiens.
In Episode Three of Secrets of the Lost Jaguar, we explore how both the genetic and spiritual phenomena interact during our human experiences on planet Earth and how energies of the seen, unseen, focal, and peripheral elements weave themselves into our emotions and senses to create physical reactions and have become spiritually aware. Perhaps the human essence is a part of the spiritual embodiment that we are experiencing as our true selves?
