ROUGH IT UP! Issue

within the confines of our understanding. Through Mythology the human
spirit could philosophically approach those remote areas of a system much
bigger than what we are able to perceive. As if through Myths, our spirit is
able to overcome the boundaries of the mind and expose our intuition to a
much greater reality, letting us lift the veil for a moment and feel what lies
underneath. These primordial narratives are not attempting an interpretation
of the unknown, but they offer an accumulation of the human
experience, they talk about the history of the Psyche or, as Freud described
it, the distorted vestiges of the wish-fantasies of whole nations, the age-long
dreams of young humanity. Then, in the form of a lucid dream, they reveal
the archetypes that connect us with the most distant areas of our spirit,
where the seeds of our evolution were first planted into the fertile soil of
imagination.
Everything seems to have emerged from the realms of a dream, a parallel
universe in space and time without any observers but our own intuition.
A world without observers is a world without definitions and therefore
things are defined not by the way they appear but by the way they are.
Infinite and incomprehensible to our senses. This is where every new idea
arises from, within this vast realm of possibilities, so that everything is
interpreted and experienced in a new way every time we manage to push
the boundaries of our understanding a bit further. Myths continue to echo
a signal sent from the very first pulse of humanity, like a dream hanging
between the oblivion of a distant past and the revelation of a secret future,
in a world that breathes life into a new reality every time we look at it.
Because we were given the ability to dream beyond our vision.
