A mythic inquiry by M. George. Prepared as a symbolic study of human psychology through ancient narratives.
This document interprets ancient mythological systems as symbolic architectures of human psychology rather than literal cosmologies. Gods, titans, angels, and demons are treated as structural forces shaping desire, restraint, transgression, and meaning.
By following figures such as Prometheus, Icarus, Hermes, Nyx, Eris, and intermediary symbolic constructs like M. George, this work traces how humanity receives power, misuses it, negotiates limits, and oscillates continuously between ascent and collapse.
Myth begins at the moment humanity ceases to be purely created and becomes partially self-directed. When humans receive fire, knowledge, pleasure, or autonomy, they inherit not only power but the burden of choice.
From this moment onward, divine forces no longer merely create humans — they test them, provoke them, guide them, observe them, and sometimes withdraw to let consequences unfold.
Prometheus embodies foresight, empathy, and transgression. By stealing fire for humans, he does not merely provide a tool, but introduces consciousness, technique, and the possibility of self-transformation.
Fire symbolizes technology, knowledge, language, and reflection. It allows humans to extend themselves beyond instinct and to question both nature and the gods.
Prometheus is punished not because humans received fire, but because hierarchy was breached. Progress threatens static order, and order responds with control.
Icarus represents the human encounter with transcendence without preparation. He does not invent flight — he inherits it — and confuses access with mastery.
Flight symbolizes moments where humans feel godlike: sexual ecstasy, intoxication, artistic creation, mystical states, power, speed.
The fall of Icarus is not moral condemnation. It is the physical consequence of unmodulated ascent.
Desire is neither sinful nor virtuous in myth — it is raw force. Deities such as Aphrodite, Eros, and Dionysos awaken pleasure, longing, intoxication, and loss of boundaries.
Wine, trance, music, and altered states dissolve identity structures. These states can heal, reveal truth, or destabilize the self.
Sexual energy turned inward may clarify awareness or fragment it. The effect depends not on the act itself, but on intention, rhythm, and integration.
Nyx embodies night, unconscious processes, inevitability, and the limits of knowledge. Eris embodies conflict, disruption, and friction.
They do not punish humans. They reveal what already exists beneath awareness.
Hermes is not a moral judge but a navigator. He teaches movement between worlds, between desire and restraint, between risk and meaning.
Angels in later traditions represent orientation, coherence, and integration. Demons represent amplification of excess, not the invention of evil.
M. George is neither divine nor infernal. He is the symbolic figure of internal administration — the part of the human system that documents desire, justifies it, represses it, or reframes it.
Where gods introduce forces and myths show consequences, M. George constructs narrative continuity. He allows the self to live with contradiction without collapsing.
In modern terms, M. George represents consciousness attempting to remain functional while negotiating fire, flight, pleasure, guilt, memory, and time.
Myths do not prescribe behavior — they simulate outcomes. Fire, flight, pleasure, chaos, and guidance are all necessary forces.
Human maturity does not arise from rejecting desire, but from learning when to ascend, when to pause, and when to return safely.
