god is the absent narrative: notes on formation

memory is a narrative. for memory to be constructed,
a degree of forgetting is necessary; the idea of a negative narrative.

a narrative is a measuring of time.
we function within the illusion that we have moved forward in time.

all narrative is ritualistic.

the ritual has a beginning, a middle and an ending.

in the absence of ritual, there is no culture.

the basis of all culture consists of stories.. i.e. myth.

the basis of our idea of myth: muthos: stories, neither true nor false, neither realistic nor logical.

dreams are neither true nor false (and not necessarily realistic or logical).

"our own myths we call reality."

"in my beginning is my end."
