The Uniting Symbol

The Ecologo represents the Archetype of cosmic order, the uniting Symbol connecting man and God-Nature, ego consciousness and the Deep, Mind and Biosphere.  It is the symbol of Ecological Self, the One: the Anima Mundi-- World Daimon-- the Mythic Idea, the only alternative to a chaotic humanity, bringing protection and salvation-- or catastrophe if violated.  The Ecologo keeps us to our proper niche in the vast scheme, the self-regulating System of the World, keeping the human mind channeled to its proper purpose: daimonic guardianship of Life on Earth.

Ecologo- the ecology symbol, a resting oval bisected by a horizontal, which represents also the Lodestone, our brain-implanted connection to the Drygand's original.

God-Cultures

Every culture has its God (guess what ours is).  Ecological culture has its God. All Gods are not the same-- the God is the value-idea of the culture.  And the Gods of other cultures may appear evil or irrelevant.

Who is your God; what is your culture?

Soul and Spirit

Feorgen, Life God, is the daimonic Soul of the Biosphere-- Wyke-Soul.

The Drygand, his offspring and agent, is the daimonic Spirit of the Biosphere-- Wyke-Gyst.

And the Searuvel is the Adversary-- Ondsaca.

The Ecological Imperative

The sacred, inviolate value-idea is Ecology-- the character, the animus, the ethos, of true culture, its vital animating principle.

Eco-God himself is possessed, constrained, by the ecological imperative-- there is no long-term survival of Life without this moral absolutism.  It is the Prime Directive, the monist Commandment of all life, the driving Soul of God, and of his Menning-- in fact it is God himself.

Wisdom comes to us from possession by the Eco-Self-- 'Self''-control.  The urge for freedom from control results in destructive chaos, as we see.  We must accept the rule of God and his Law, to shape our cultural structure, to impose a stringent discipline that keeps us on the right track for long-term survival of our species and the entire Biosphere.  The alternative is the doom we have been creating, with our imperative of willful freedom.  Can we accept the authority of God, or will we go on mindlessly indulging ourselves toward extinction?

Menning= the ecological culture-civilization.

Eywa/Yahweh

I've been researching ancient Israelite religion and happened to watch James Cameron's Avatar again, and it came to me that Eywa, the Goddess of the planet Pandora, was phonemically rearranged Yahweh, the God of Israel; a sort of inversion, such as are the characters of the two gods to each other, which are antithetic, as Yahweh may be the root of what's wrong with our ecocidal global culture, and Eywa an alternative ecogenic seed of a viable future culture.  The Mythos provides a different version of such a seed.

Draug Unbounded

The Draug, ancient monster within, unbounded of the Ecological Self and its Byzen ('the Pattern That Connects'), is loose upon the world, become the Searuvel ('evil machine'), wreaking Dilgoth, annihilating Life On Earth.

But the Drygand bears the Byzen in his Lodestone, which can return the Draug to his place in the Pattern That Connects.

Draug-- from Old Icelandic draugr= undead monster who leaves his grave-mound to lay waste the land; and from Persian drauga= wasteland demon.
Ecological Self-- eco-moral monist God, known as Feorgen ('life-god'), who was Wolken but became 'patterned' when Alwight became Drygand (see under Lodestone).
Byzen-- from OEng bysen= pattern, model, example.
Dilgoth-- the human-engineered 6th Extinction Event. from OEng dilgian= extirpate, annihilate.
Lodestone-- the transforming stone gestated in the Wolken, the nebulous biospheric Mind, which stone when impressed into the head of the playfully protean Alwight ('all-creatures'), turned him into the Drygand, the mystic warrior were-serpent, champion of the Biosphere and its ecological culture-civilization, the Menning.

And there you have the Mythos in brief.  By the way, Drygand's 'y' is properly pronounced as u-umlaut, halfway between 'eh' and 'oo'. Yeah, weird, but necessary.

Notice

Please note the new descriptor heading above.  A rewrite was long overdue, as my concept of the Mythos, which has always been open and uncertain, has yet moved on a bit.  I don't like to try to impose a conceptual order, but to let that develop organically, as it were, which betrays that I am more intuitive than intellectual--- intellect seems more ego-controlled, and so less open to unconscious prompting, which I've always believed in, because after all, what is religion?  It's not a matter of statements of dogma, which are frozen, not living.  The Mythos has evolved through ego and Unconscious interacting, and so remains open and uncertain and alive, while remaining fundamentally about Deep Ecology.

A Little Myth

With his weapon the Lodestone, the Drygand takes and tames an irrational human monster, then turns the chaotic passions of this ancient beast to course in blithe feedback loops of a stable self-regulating system: the living Menning indwelling this beast now become the Menning-mensch, so that God Nature may be won from the insatiable grinding maw of the Evil Machine.  And as there are billions of the beasts to thus transform, the Drygand has much to do.

The Animus

The Drygand is the Animus: the animating Will of Ecological Self, the Soul of the Menning, its Reason.  He acts from the Deep-within.

Animus (Latin 'soul, life')= animating intention or purpose.
Menning= ecological culture-civilization.
Will= deliberate intention, or wish, to do.
Soul= the essential and animating principle of a being.
Reason= the basis or motive for action, decision, belief.
