"I struggle to find the words to use, but the basic idea is that myth and poetry are “metaphysics by other means” (to use Butler’s phrase in a previous course). "
I don't know Butler but he's correct. I can't write (or stand a lot of) poetry, for me myth makes better sense in a more solid form. Everyone's different which is why they've provided so many options, including religion, film and everyday fiction. 'As many paths to Self as there are selves to realise.' Some say there are only seven stories in the world told over and over again.
