Cosmogony myth and gods' family dysfunction

The Mother-goddess and the Father-god.. were struck by the arrows of Eros (or Cubit if you prefer,) which pre-existed.

At first, their chemistry surprised even Eros himself.

Their wedding was magical. And it was a source of inspiration to songwriters and storytellers over centuries, echoing the magnificence of their union. Yet, as the "Chinese whispers" or maybe as some kind of distorting mirror, the ‘wedding’ was considered to fit at the end of a story, and gradually moved itself there.

At the ceremony they took heavy oaths, upon their passion.. They tied themselves with spells that even they themselves could not break!

And their bodies were united, completely surrendered to each other, in a moment of Love that lasted forever.

….

But forever is a long time.. and thus, at some point, the Mother-goddess, conceived the World. She gave birth to Light and Darkness, the planets, the air, the water, diamonds, gold.. and much much more..

Father-god the was proud of his family..

Mother loved her children.. because they had something from both of them.

However the birth continued and it was as endless as the divine orgasm. The parents/gods saw their sprouts caressing the entire surface of the Earth, and their passion ignited from the Beauty they had manifested together.

Just like that, they began to make-out for another eternity..

Still, the birth had no ending. All kinds of creatures appeared, which in turn, took part in the divine dance of Love, in a rhythm of reproduction and something like consensual cannibalism, or something!

Everything was absolutely wonderful.

Then the time had come for people to be born.

They were.. hmmm.. more complex than anything the public has ever seen, in the reality show of World consciousness! They consumed most of Mother-goddess energy. Their thoughts surpassed their instincts, thus nothing "happened by itself" with them, as in the rest of the creation.

It was clear by now that humanity had to grow up, whether it was ready or not!

Mom started getting breastfeeding agitation (!!) and this had started to affect her libido, something that dad did not appreciate at all.

Hence (according to many somewhat hastily) the old classic adulthood "ceremony of choice" was arranged. The ‘self-determination of good and evil.’

Initially everything went according to plan.

Until, suddenly.. the eyes of the gods were opened..! And they saw. They finally saw the arrows of Eros! And they felt cheated, manipulated, betrayed..

This "suddenly" is said to have been triggered by the unprecedented reaction of Adam and Eve! That instead of acknowledging the success of the test, as expected, they did not even realise what was happening. They placed the non-existent blame on each other and became the first creators of Shame!! (something that none of the old gods had ever imagined such a thing to exist; although some suspected it; because it was obvious that elements were missing from the periodic table of emotions! But because every god hoped to be the one who would discover them, that's why no one ever admitted to themselves that only if they cooperate, they have a chance!)

So, our parents realised that their love was held by the arrows of Eros, and forgot how obviously they actually matched. They were perfect for each other.

They only saw to their descendants and focusing on the nakedness of people, how different they are from each other; and for a short fragment of time, capable of infecting them all.. pleasure became disgust!

Mother stuck to how different she is from her partner and decided that she was tired of her breasts producing milk and passion at the same time. She had enough.

Father got tired of seeing her always have her mind somewhere else and the fact that he is no longer her only concern.

After that mother was left with her children.. who refused to grow up. She was left to oscillate between offspring, and "leave me alone!"

And the father was left alone.. just waiting to see us on the weekends.

At that point Eros disappeared. Some said he committed suicide in his frustration that his arrows are doomed to obey the law of entropy.

But this phase didn’t really last long. Soon, the spells of their marriage tied them back together again! (These same people say that their bed was standing over the corpse of Eros, just to remind them that all of this is actually his fault, so that they do not kill each other.. in their sick, perverted, passion.)

At the same time, when Eros disappeared and our parents "reunited" again, from this.. forced intercourse.. War was born! And all the other gods.

With them, the legend was born, the most ancient, the most hidden, the most sacred secret, the one which until the '1960s even its title was unspoken ("make Love, not War.")

The legend says that if two people love each other soooo much.. not to just enough to "die for each other," but enough to "live for -and with- each other", and find a way to attract the attention of the gods and convince them that you do not need god Eros to fall in love.. Then maybe our parents, and the storytellers, will finally see how to begin, and not end, the story with a wedding!

And just as none of the instincts are enough for gods and people, so every Love must be a creation of every couple, and the arrows are nothing but a push, or rather a direction, or whatever. They say that if the gods get this epiphany.. we will finally cease being children of separated parents/gods. And then, they say.. Eros will come to life again..
