We jolt into the orbit with the muses. We gaze into the heart of our narratives. Into the spring of the why and the wherever-from. The genesis and resonance of our timeless fairy tails. In today's legends. No we're not rolling with Butter Baby for planetary salvation. We're not chasing the tail of the Transcendental Cow Dimension. We're not camping in the desert with Moses and the Burning Bush. We're simply orbital. _#StrangerLegends #StoryTelling #Narratives #Muses #MythMethod #Journeys #Mythopoesis #AltWords #CogMid #MiddleWare #Adapters #Insight_ **I bet you came here hoping** for me to tell you yet another story. Well, look children, today we are growing up a notch, reaching for new altitudes, greater latitudes. Today we're not joining in with Butter Baby from Planet Butter in his quest for Butter Absolute for the salvation of his realm. We're also not chasing the tails of the Transcendental Cow Dimension, where rivers of ambrosial milk flow in timeless liberation. God knows I spent like a decade chasing for that very dimension. Even have a residential avatar primed. Translated manuals and SOPs for in-universe operation. We're also not hanging out with Moses and the burning bush in the desert. We're not at the mountaintop playing with our tablets. Today we are not immersed in the universe. We rise to the orbit with the muses to see what's actually going on. So the muses in the orbit get that you lot down there at Planet Earth, you do need your stories. All those philosophies, the abstract patterns, somehow they are so very difficult to relate to, to compile into your living experience. Then be that as it may and must. Again we are the fishers of men dealing in parables and metaphoric tales. Then fie on all you eggheads, your intellectual evaluation. Turn off your brain, enter the storyline. Reflect. Live the experience in the tale. See what it brings you. Directly experience the realms of awareness that the symbols all point to, and from there reach your understanding — not by disconnected evaluations. For one does not craft the timeless legends with intellectual or poetic sophistication. No, they are written and told and sung from the orbit. You must behold the world of awareness, its tales, its journeys. Live in it, as you live in the world in here — and then tell the tales. And with these tales, perspectives open, a vast new world — that is the same world we live in, but with a very different tuning, with a very different lens. So we craft all these looking glasses into your ordinary reality, in order to upgrade your insight. It's still the same old reality. Simply your experience and sense of meaning is transformed. Now please don't go literally believing in all of these tales. NASA will never take you to the Transcendental Cow Planet. On the other hand, the vehicles made in your awareness, like chariots woven of dreams, will take you to every nook and corner of the symbolic universe. Who takes the journey in-universe, absorbed, they will benefit subliminally, subconsciously. Yet the one who opens their eyes to what is, they will too take the journey — but endowed with great wisdom. So friends, happy trails. See you on the other side of the other side.
