Big Stories
and you. As a people, we humans are at a crucial
point of creative imagining. We
can choose to imagine and so create a humanity which
is peacefully and comfortably at-home on Earth. One
which makes present intimate preciousness. Or we can
choose to linger at the present level of human imagining,
which, when closely examined, is sourced in dreadful fear
and endless warring. One wherein the Other—you—is
seen as Intimate Enemy.
As sojourning aliens we learned that the nuclear
warrior wants to destroy your
intimate self, every atom, thought and feeling. This moved us to look
further as to how the dominant Big Stories understand and value
intimacy. How do these Big Stories manifest
the nuclear Warrior's Quest imagination?
As stated, the Warrior's Quest imagination
is the way in which the dominant global Big Stories
have interpreted themselves. At present, three Big Stories
of the culture of the West are dominant. These are the:
1) Biblical Abrahamic,
2) Scientism, and
3) Secularism.
Summaries of these three
Big Stories indicate how they are intricately interconnected—historically
and spiritually. Collectively, they dominate the human
imagination, and culturally and spiritually drive the current globalization
movement.
Since all three Big Stories cast
light on why Earthfolk envision living
peacefully at-home on Earth, it is important to discern the
common themes shared by the three Big Stories that form
the core of the Warrior's Quest vision.
