Esotericism

Ancient cosmogonies are not literal or empirical descriptions in the modern scientific sense, but their symbolic structures appear closely aligned with the conceptual patterns found in contemporary physics and cosmology. This raises the possibility that mythic language, through symbolism and allegory, may have encoded a form of intuitive cosmological structure that resonates with modern scientific descriptions of the early universe. And I for one, can’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, our ancient ancestors understood more about the origins of the cosmos and our place in it than what we gave them credit for.
