Forgive me for my poor wording. Of course truth is truth and has always been truth, of that there is no doubt. My mistake was to imply we need to seek out new truth when in actuality it is the old truth that was known to the ancients that we have forgotten, or forsaken.

The common tropes that literature and cinema have embraced are those that are focused on the human as centerpiece of the story; our feelings and failings, our strengths and weaknesses, our struggles to overcome.

Lost, it seems to me, are the truths of the universe that reach beyond humanity. The truths that minimize our importance and instead define, for lack of a better word, god or the unknowable intelligence that matter, all matter animate or inanimate, carries as a connective string of unity.

We tackle the human truths because they are easy. Much more difficult is the struggle of knowledge and understanding of the dance of energy that binds everything together. Our art form has spun off on a distinct tangent of myths from the past, those tangents packaged for consumption bythe lazy minds of today’s age. My desire is to return to the source of those ancient myths and explore them in a non-modern, even non-human, construct.

If truth is universal then we need to objectively look at that truth from a non-human perspective. Only in this way can we lose the subjectivity of what we do and gain respect for all things.

Hopefully I have clarified my initial comment and not muddied the waters even more as I often do.
