The Myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha, ca. 1550

Now, please reflect on your present problem-event and compare it with your statement of the past problem-event.

 

a) How many parallels can you notice between this past problem and the problem scenes you reported in your present circumstances? Please describe those that you found most interesting.

b) What similarities do you find in the language you used, in the expressions, and in your choice of words?

c) Are there also similarities between the problem-events as well as between their scenes?

d) As you examine this material, could you say your problem statement can apply to both the past and present, or would you say it fits better with the past? Are there more interesting similarities between the statement of the problem in reference to the past or the present?

e) Consider this: How does the statement of your present problem set you up to deal with the present as if it were your past?

f) But, if the problem statement fits with the past better than the present, then it may be that you are anticipating your present situations in terms of your past; or could you say that you are living the present as if it were your past? If so, how can you get out of your past and live in the present?

g) Now, would you agree that this is, indeed, curious? Why would you be anticipating the present problem difficulties in terms of an incident that you experienced many years ago? Would you please offer an explanation for this curious fact.

May we preserve these philosophical beauties, and exhibit them to others. May this web site expand their elegance by the enlivening rays of the philosophic fire; and by the powerful breath of genius, scatter abroad in this virtual world these latent but copious seeds.

If some sparks of this celestial fire shall animate the reader, consider yourself as well rewarded for this laborious undertaking. Ancient philosophy has been, for centuries, the only study to break the shackles of ignorance; and in which one finds an inexhaustible treasure of intellectual wealth, and a perpetual fountain of wisdom and delight.

Presuming that such a pursuit bestows the highest benefit, I, Webmistress, desire no other reward than the wealth of wisdom, and Reason as my constant Guide. If successful, may I see the praise of the liberal; and if not, I expect no defense for failure, other than the decision of the candid, and discerning few, thus the opportunity to learn, and purgation by philosophic fire.
