Characters (Me one of the gods who judges Orual) / And Psyche the “goddess”/ Goddess

A list of her complaints to me are:

1.     She cannot make complete means with the world. The means she does make is all avoiding love and opportunity for it.

2.     Despite the challenges around me I feel zero support in the stabilization of self and kingdom

My Introduction and My Observance:

Orual, I am Stto (s-tt-o), a powerful interpretivist.  Many others perhaps have fallen into the trap of misunderstanding. Misunderstanding is the force I destroy. I have accumulated knowledge of every misunderstanding while working on my title as a god. I have seen where you have learned in life many labors. Many truths. And worked hard to achieve skills in specific areas (such as fighting). You have clearly seen life's mysteries. And that is what causes a rapid maturation that is not entirely in your control. Maturation is the accumulation of growth by a constant in time. That you push around. You want more. But I will explain to you that you wronged your sister because of your misunderstanding in its liaison in abstraction you think love inherently could be or rather is to you.  

Making The Argument Against Orual saying She wronged Psyche by saying Myth has this quality you mistakenly missed:

1.     You have missed passionate care. The stories and information you have heard and learned from scholars have obviously coerced you in this difficult belief system you hold. You are assuming things about yourself and these habits of assumption are carrying into your interpretation in the story of psyche. You have missed the thing that can reel in abstraction—and you confuse it with love and action.  The actions you did commit to did not provide a sense of happiness. You misplaced your judgment in psyches boundaries. Where she had been able to see what myth was and is, you may have sought to find the same through her (which cannot in every case happen) to love and see what you must and embrace the attitude of happiness it takes self-agency, which you decline by lack of belief. Begin now by not overanalyzing your life as a narrative. And redirect action towards a force nature provides you.

McDermott The Social Ethic

  My final paper for my honors seminar was about how Americans form their moral compasses and one of the things I researched for it was called the “Social Ethic.” It describes the tendency to submit yourself, as an individual, to the whims of the group, such as religious organizations or political parties. I think that myth can be a tool of the social ethic – in this sense, reason can function as an organization or group. Reason relies on imagination (we perceive the senses through it), and while too much pure logic can be bad, so can too much imagination. For example, back when the pandemic hit there were a bunch of people who said that they were immune to covid because they didn’t have the right “waves” for it to transmit to them because their political party and the people within it told them so (a view relying almost entirely on imagination with very little science to back it up, if any at all). It was almost like mob mentality. We saw this happen in Big Fish . The son was affe...

Tyler van Opstal "Inklings Apart"

    In the 1968 Understanding Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings (alternatively titled The Tolkien Relation ) by William Ready, C.S. Lewis is mentioned more regularly than anyone but Tolkien himself. This itself is entirely rational, Lewis having been another member of the Inklings club to which Tolkien also belonged, but the treatment of Lewis by Ready is often strange or otherwise notable.     Lewis is first mentioned in Understanding Tolkien in the first chapter, after Ready discusses the Andrew Lang lecture by Tolkien that we read at the beginning of class to lay a framework for how myth and story can be understood. Ready takes umbrage with what he sees as an unfair treatment of Tolkien by scholars, blaming the fame of Lewis for coloring their opinions of him (Dr. Thompson states it is his recollection that Lewis was indeed more famous than Tolkien prior to the LotR movies). Ready complains that "Tolkien has been tarred by [Lewis'] brush" and that the resulting mi...

Tyler van Opstal "Here There Be Dragons"

     In Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet , when the protagonist has his revelation about the nature of Space and its true identity as the Heavens, he is realizing that the maps of the storytellers are more accurate than any map that science can produce. And if the storytellers can chart the stars better than the physicists, then perhaps the storytellers also charted the seas better than the satellites have.      Many older maps feature creatures and gods. Even when the explorers had discovered the world was a sphere and that there was not a giant cliff at the end of a flat world guarded by dragons, storytellers continued to etch their maps with "Here there be dragons." The winds remained portrayed by the four wind gods perched in the map corners, and the sketches of great serpents in the oceans were kept. The storytellers understood that it did not matter whether there were literal dragons and wyverns lurking in and above the ocean, the danger they represent...
