That is a great deal of what gives unity and coherence to the symbol,
"mankind." The experience of reality and symbolization of same reveal a
general sameness of structure even through differentiation as intracosmic
ods
and myths become "old" to be replaced by more differentiated symbols and
myths. The structure not only continues to be the reality in which all
eople
participate at the various levels of differentiation but shows definite
evidence of being eschatological in movement even if the dimensions cannot be
fully known within mortality.
Sincerely,
Frank
