This is the power of myth: that we can experience invisible

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent power of myths in conveying spiritual realities and profound truths that extend beyond the tangible world. Through storytelling, myths have the unique ability to tap into unseen realms and present deep insights that surpass the limitations of mere material existence. By intertwining imagination, symbolism, and archetypes, myths enable individuals to connect with higher planes of understanding, where invisible spiritual truths can be experienced and contemplated. Thus, myths serve as a potent vehicle for exploring and comprehending the intangible aspects of life that are often concealed from surface-level perception.
