Curate Your Genealogy
Curate and archive your family's history and records. One of the many roles we have as family historians.
Genealogy without sources is Mythology
Meaningful Lies
Here, myth as opposed to history is not meant to imply "falsehood" or "lie" but is used in the sense of narratives that reflect and advance specific ways of representing the world and,
along with it, one's place in it No science will ever replace myth, and a myth cannot be made out of any science. For it is not that "God" is a myth, but that myth is the revelation of a divine life in man.
It is not we who invent myth, rather it speaks to us as a Word of God.
The Word of God comes to us, and we have no way of distinguishing whether and to what extent it is different from God.
There is nothing about this Word that could not be considered known and human, except for the manner in which it confronts us spontaneously and places obligations upon us. It is not affected by the arbitrary operation of our will. We cannot explain an inspiration.
Our chief feeling about it is that it is not the result of our own ratiocinations, but that it came to us from elsewhere. And if we happen to have a precognitive dream, how can we possibly ascribe it to our own powers? ~Carl Jung, Memories Dreams and Reflections.
