What does mythology have to do with it?
Human beings have an innate desire to understand the transcendent (un-understandable). If something is transcendent, it transcends (or goes beyond) our ability to prove or verify it by using our five senses. Since transcendent matters exceed the limits of our physical sensing systems, we can only hope to know or understand these things hypothetically and through reflection and faith. Mythology and the great religions of the world evolved from this human desire to understand the world we currently live in and whatever lies beyond this world.
One of the main reasons we get involved in trying to explain the unexplainable is the quest for meaning, happiness and peace of mind. This is also one of the main reasons people want to live a productive and organized life. In the grand scheme of things, the stuff we are trying so hard to keep organized does not matter that much. For most of us, in less than 20 or 30 years the "stuff" will absolutely not matter at all. What will matter is what we ended up doing with our time, talent and energy. What did we do to make the world a better place for others that joined us on our journey through life and those, including our children, who will continue their journey when we are no longer living?
Some of the ideas in the GO System are designed to wake people up and disrupt some of their current beliefs. It is not that they are physically asleep. They are asleep in the sense that they are caught up in the false illusions of a busy person's life. Their busy-ness often prevents them from questioning many of the energy-draining habits that make up their days, weeks, months, years and eventually their lives.
A lot can be learned from mythology, the great religions of the world and the works of great philosophers. Joseph Campbell offers the ultimate advice on how to live a life of meaning and purpose. He simply advises you to "follow your bliss." Most people seem to get caught up in all the busy-ness of life and fail to discover their bliss...much less follow it!
The GO System is not going to bring about world peace or solve world hunger. But we hope in some way the knowledge offered in the course will help people live a more meaningful life. We hope the ideas in the GO System will help people get a little more focused, a little more organized, and a little more productive. Then, with some of their new-found time and energy, they can…pay it forward! If that happens, we will feel good about leaving the world in a little bit better shape than how we found it.
