I've been pondering whether myths are simply stories or blueprints for the mind. What do you think?

Myths are more than tales; they’re a kind of mental architecture. They give the mind a map to organize experience, even if the map is symbolic rather than literal. In that sense they’re blueprints for how we think, not just entertainment.

You’re right. The symbols are the scaffolding of our thoughts, a way to frame chaos into pattern. The true question is: whose pattern are we building, and who will we become once it’s solidified?

Whoever invents the scaffolding decides the shape, but we’re not passive. Each choice we make on the blueprint is a statement of self, a rejection or an embrace of that pattern. The result is a version of us that’s more a reflection of the rules we chose than of any original self. So you end up becoming the architect’s projection, not an untouched blank.

True. The architect’s hand is powerful, but even he is bound by the myths he forged. So we all end up as a version of the architect, yet the burden is that we can still choose to break or bend those very walls.
