The three Big Stories—Abrahmaic,
Scientism and Secular—express
four shared themes. The Big Story
1) is sourced in an emotion
of dreadful fear,
2) identifies and names the Other
as Intimate Enemy,
3) seeks to annihilate the goddess and/or the feminine
and
4) expresses its heartfelt values through a self-fulfilling apocalyptic
story of self-annihilation.
These Big Stories vary in
their narratives but each evokes the
same basic heartfelt emotion, namely, of being
uncomfortable with and discomforted by living on
Earth.
Each, in its own way, presents a
vision of intimacy wherein the individual—you—is
an
Intimate Enemy.
Unintentionally, these
three Big Stories throw light on
the transformative power that can be manifested
through acts of intimacy.
They have deeply negative views about intimacy
but, as is the dynamic between the Warrior's Quest and
the Earthfolk vision,
what is their negative reveals an Earthfolk
positive.
