“Myth was regarded as primary; it was concerned with what was thought to be timeless and constant in our existence. Myth looked back to the origins of life, to the foundations of culture, and to the deepest levels of the human mind. Myth was not concerned with practical matters, but with meaning. Unless we find some significance in our lives, we mortal men and women fall very easily into despair. The mythos of a society provided people with a context that made sense of their day-to-day lives; it directed their attention to the eternal and the universal.” PeopleMenMindHumansMadeMatterFallCultureLevelsExistenceAttentionOur LivesAtheismDespairEternalMen And WomenConcernedUniversalFoundationConstantPositive AtheismMythPracticalsMortalsPrimariesSignificanceHuman MindTimelessDay To DayDay LifeOrigin Of LifeDay To Day Life Book:The Battle for God: A History of Fundamentalism Source: The Battle for God: A History of Fundamentalism
“Men are tending to materialism. Houses, lands, and worldly goods attract their attention, and as a mirage lure them on to death. Christianity, on the other hand leads only the natural body to death, and for the spirit, it points out a house not built with hands, eternal in the heavens... Let me urge you to follow Him, not as the Nazarene, the Man of Galilee, the carpenter's son, but as the ever living spiritual person, full of love and compassion, who will stand by you in life and death and eternity.” MenPersonsBodyHandsSpiritualSpiritHouseHeavenNaturalAttentionCompassionChristianityLandHe ManSonEternalBuiltLet MeEternityLife And DeathUrgesMaterialismGoodsWorldlyLureLove And CompassionCarpenterMiragesNazarene Author:James A.

“If we never leave our house except to drive to work, do we need to be even remotely aware of this powerful, humbling, extraordinary and eternal life force that surges and ebbs around us all the time? Apparently not.

“Goose pimples rose all over me, my hair stood on end, my eyes filled with tears of love and gratitude for this greatest of all conquerors of human misery and shame, and my breath came in little gasps. If I had not known that the Leader would have scorned such adulation, I might have fallen to my knees in unashamed worship, but instead I drew myself to attention, raised my arm in the eternal salute of the ancient Roman Legions and repeated the holy words, "Heil Hitler!"” IfsHumansLittlesEndsMightEyeAttentionKnownLeaderTearsHairArmsGratitudeHolyEternalWorshipBreathsShameFilledMiseryRoseRaisedAncientKneesFallenGeeseConquerorSaluteLegionLove And GratitudeScornedPimplesAdulation Author:George Lincoln Rockwell
