The creativity of living systems — at least that which has its roots

the kind of order that gives rise to relational wholes, systems that are greater than the sum of their parts, and to do this spontaneously
whenever a critical level of complexity is reached.

Myth is the software, the cultural DNA, the cunconscious information, the metaprogram that governs the way we see “reality” and the way we behave. . . A myth creates the plotline that organizes the diverse experiences of a person or a community into a single story.

Our experience quite literally is defined by our assumptions about life.
We make stories about the world and to a large degree live out their plots.
What our lives are like depends to a great extent on the script
we consciously, or more likely, unconsciously, have adopted.
