MYTH AND PSYCHE

   Myth is a psychic construction favorable to maintenance of balance and consciousness. Without it, human beings would be at the mercy of the dangers of their own unconsciousness. It’s automatically forged to maintain the relation between consciousness and unconsciousness. The first myths that appeared to consciousness were words or verbal expressions that, lately were transformed to signs. Afterwards, appeared the cosmogonic myths and those that tried to explain human behavior. Within all myths, those which represented religious aspects of the human psyche are, in fact, the forgers of collective religions. Many are still alive, and others were dissolved by the appropriate comprehension of their meanings. Myths are born and die, day by day. Its roots are found in mystery, in the complexity and in the depths of human psychism. Some religious dogma point, directly, to them. They are indecipherable as it is the nature pf God.
