For the curious mind, the next step will be to search for more Othernesses that will lead to further awareness.

The inward expansion will eventually lead to the highest consciousness levels and to the highest levels of spirituality."

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The origin of myths is explained in this way.
