Creating Your Own Wisdom Myths
Applying technology and multiculturalism to rewrite your personal identity
New technology and the multiculturalism that is increasingly influenced by the ever-expanding global economy has reshaped many of these legends and sacred stories in ways that could never have been conceived of even fifty years ago. In our modern and post-modern world, many traditionalists, as well as unorthodox stakeholders, acknowledge that clearly many seemingly contradictory ideas and objects of meaning are being forced to come in contact with each other, sometimes with great resistance from both sides. No matter how great the resistance, the passage of time, and the constant cultural shifts of the modern age will reshape many sacred group stories — often removing the “sacred’ from them. Whether these shifts are imposed from outside or suddenly happen through some natural evolution, these changes will take place no matter how great the resistance to them may be. In time, group stories may:
· Lose their importance and simply fade away
· Be absorbed or dominated by a newer story.
· Morph into a new myth that reflects the new elements of modern culture.
· Take on greater meaning and status.
