Regenerative Mythology – "Making Stories for Our Future"- Inaugural Vision and Call to Action by Willi Paul, Mythologist & Planetshifter.com

"Without a felt sense of cosmology people begin to feel lost in space and abandoned in the middle of nowhere. Without a working cosmology and a regenerative mythology, life can lose its sense of purpose, causing the inevitable struggles of existence to seem completely random and pointless. It is not that a shared mythology or cosmology takes suffering out of the world, it is more that it makes us aware that everyone suffers and it gives a ground of being on which to find meaning in the troubles of the world." - Source
