At the social or cultural level, mythology allows us to see what is significant to any group of people claiming a common belonging. The interpretation of myths and symbols is a vast subject and H.P.B. has dealt with it at length in her Secret Doctrine . All the so-called myths of the Hindu, Grecian, Chaldean and Jewish Pantheons are found to be built on fact and truth. It truth, every one of the seven Keys has to be used in its right place, and never mixed with others, if we would unveil the entire cycle of mysteries . The ancients knew that nothing could be preserved in human memory without some outward symbol.
Beliefs are the bedrock upon which all experience is built.
What we believe can affect our life, our attitudes, our actions, says Noell Nelson, clinical psychologist and author of many books. By changing your beliefs, you take the first step toward changing the way you live your life. The bad news is that you can't change your beliefs unless you know what they are. It stresses the enormous possibilities available in the future and the degree to which an individual is in charge of his or her own future. No matter how grim your present seems, be willing to accept the belief that the future holds positive possibilities.
