Summary of Bernardo Kastrup's More Than Allegory
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The myth of the Holy Trinity provides context to the lives of millions of Christians. It provides perspective: God, as the Father, explains and justifies the creation of the world. The divinity's entrance into its own creation in forms both ethereal and concrete provides a bridge between ordinary life and a transcendent order.
#2 The outer realm is shared by all individuals. We all live in the same world, and we all know what lions, wildebeest, rocks, and hills are. But the meaning and emotion evoked by these perceptual experiences aren't necessarily shared.
#3 The images and interactions of consensus reality evoke meaning and emotion in our inner realm. Our mind needs a code to translate these images and interactions into thoughts and feelings. Without it, there would be no bridge or commerce between outer and inner realms.
#4 Myth is the code that we all constantly use to interpret life in the world. We use myth to interpret the events of life, and we use it to emotionalize those events. Without a code for interpreting the consensus images around us, life would be meaningless.
