Each of the three Big Stories—Abrahmaic,
Scientism and Secular—expresses
the four shared
themes in different ways. Historically, the Abrahamic Big Story
is root to the rise of the Scientism and Secular Big Stories.
In this light, the Abrahamic tradition presented a comprehensive
mythic storyline, a treasure trove of symbolic imagery and
social/religious rituals, and clearly articulated doctrines,
dogmas and theologies about the relationship of sacred and
profane relationships (humans and Nature; males and females;
individual and society, etc.).
Over time, the relationship
between the Big Stories separated, in general,
into the
Abrahamic being a religious story,
the
Scientific/Scientism, a story of knowing, and the
Secular, a
story of power.
Again, the roots that gave rise to the
unifying and displacing Warrior's Quest Big Story and which describe the core themes
of that
Quest are that it is a story:
1) sourced in an emotion of
dreadful fear,
2) that identifies and names the Other as
Intimate Enemy,
3) that seeks to annihilate the goddess and/or the feminine
and
4) which expresses its heartfelt values through a self-fulfilling apocalyptic
story of self-annihilation.
In sum, those who profess the Warrior's
Quest Big Story are uncomfortable with and discomforted
by living on Earth.They creatively
imagine and make present
a vision of intimacy wherein
the individual—you—is
an Intimate Enemy.
