So I'm starting to believe that people in past cultures had different perspectives of reality. What I mean is when a knight went off and slew a dragon he was experience an inward journey which manifested itself as an outer experience. For example, Beowulf was a man who slew the monster grendel but I think that the monster which plagued the Danes was the love of greed and fame. This is why Beowulf considered himself a tool in the hands of God, because he humbled those who lived in heorot. If you look at the ancient Hebrew language you will see that every single word is a coded euphemism or allegory for something else. Not only that but the acts and practices have symbolic and metaphorical meanings, they are foreshadows of things to come. I believe that this is what the spirit world is, it is the human mind perceiving data, projecting on the external what is derived from the internal. I believe that if you teach a child an ingrained belief then that child will grow up and perceive reality based on that belief and this is how people can see ghosts, UFOs, magic, etc.
Does anyone have any information about this and if this train of thought has a common name? If you have anything to add it would be appreciated.
