Truth is important, but myths are equally important because they provide us the illusions that illuminate our lives. Unlike reality, which is to be accepted whether we like it or not, we can choose illusions which are beautiful and serve our purpose. Illusions are made beautiful because they are created to please us while truth is barren and purposeless. Truth is ‘what it is’ but myths are ‘what we want it to be,’ ‘what it can be’ or ‘what it should be’.

Once we understand that all human values are the result of fictions and myths,we don’t consider them sacrosanct. we are then able to question many beliefs that are believed to be irrefutable. we then move from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom.

Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth is an attempt to understand the impact of our beliefs—which are largely based on mythologies, scriptures, rituals and fictions—on our lives.

If you wish to understand the subconscious mind of an individual or a society, you have to understand the core beliefs which are shaped by the popular myths and scriptures of the society.
