10 - The Power of Narrative
Mythology-101
The beginners guide to the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves.
#10 The Power of Narrative
§ One example if how the Gnostics inverted and refuted the Hibiru narrative:
The Serpent in Eden: Epiphanius (c. 301 – c. 403 CE) in Panarion, Against Heresies: “And the serpent (ophis) persuaded them and brought knowledge (gnosis), and taught both man and woman (anthropon chi ten gynaicha) all the knowledge of the heavenly mysteries (mysterion to pan gnoseos).
“In this text, the serpent plays the role of a spiritual teacher, cf. designation REFTAMO, instructor.” See also On the Origin of the World II 119, 6-7: “And Eve took courage from the words of the instructor.” The text uses word-play based on Aramaic in which the word for “serpent” resembles and suggests the word for “instructor.”
The Coptic Gnostic Library, V. 5 p 159-60.
§ The mythogen is a narrative instrument, a vehicle with directive capacity and thrust, no matter what narrative content inheres in it.
The Jewish god-complex.
