			<description><![CDATA[The old Indian ritual of the wife throwing herself on her husband's funeral pyre is called sati, from the Sanskrit word sat, "to be". A woman performing this act is affirming her identity as a wife, in the context of her society. Those who disobey are known as asat, a "no thing". This view is precisely the opposite in the West, where someone who only lives by authority is called a square, "nobody there". (page 14) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Unlike all other creatures, humans are born too soon, and go through a very long period (15-20 years) of dependency. We are conditioned from birth to be dependent on authority, and have automatic responses that seek authority. However, at a certain point, society requires us to become responsible, to grow up in a hurry. In primitive societies, puberty rites effect a powerful psychological transformation that stamps the individual into the mold of society. In contrast, modern Western society seeks to develop critical thinking individuals. (page 11) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are 3 orders of mythology:
1. Affirmative: They embrace life on its own terms (early mythologies)
2. Negative: They renounce reality and seek escape, (e.g. Jainism around 8 BC)
3. Ameliorative: They seek to reshape life in the desired image, (starting with Zoroastrianism in 11 BC) - "You affirm the world on condition that it follows your notion of what the world should be." (page 4) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The functions of mythology are to:
1. Reconcile the consciousness to the realities (and horrors) of life
2. Present an image of the cosmos that explains our experiences
3. Validate and maintain a certain sociological system
4. Psychologically carry us through the stages of life, from birth to maturity to senility and death. (page 3) --scribilus]]></description>
