Thoughts of week #3 readings

The brief treatise on Eradigmatics, provides a much needed distillation of the many " bits and pieces"  one encounters when  looking for  an overarching concept of a "Mono Myth" of and age or time in human history. I have a feeling that this type of research and need for organization comes at a time in the history of a culture that has reached a major crisis beyond which the future becomes uncertain.  The outline is somewhat reminiscent  of  similar concepts presented in the books, "The Fourth Turning" by Strauss and Howe, and Oswald Spengler's  "The Decline of the West".  Whereas the two aforementioned books present an historical view leading to predictive picture of the future, the Eradigm treatise places us in the here and now.  What do we do now as Mythologists?  We see what we see. We are experiencing what we are in the midst of. What do we create for the future, now .  How then do we take the myth Earthrise and make it a living reality? Through what avenues of action?  Writing? Storytelling? Classroom education? Social/political activism? New technological inventions. No technology? The mantle is on our shoulders. The time is now. Any takers?
