“Myth is not a destination but a journey — a living process of making and remaking meaning across time and space.”
As we close this series, it is vital to remember that myth is never a fixed corpus of stories or symbols. It is an ongoing journey of relational meaning — an active, collective process by which social formations phase, align, and reconfigure their realities.
Through the lens of relational ontology, myth reveals itself as:
A symbolic infrastructure that scaffolds collective possibility,
A technology of reflexive phasing that enables social formations to navigate complexity and change,
A site of powerful negotiation and contestation over what counts as real and meaningful,
A dynamic system that balances stability and transformation through symbolic recursion.
This perspective invites us to approach myth not as a relic of the past or an object of detached study, but as a living practice—a mode of symbolic engagement that shapes who we are, how we relate, and what futures we can imagine.
In this ongoing journey, the task is not to find final answers, but to participate creatively and reflexively in the co-creation of symbolic worlds — to embrace the openness, multiplicity, and emergent possibilities that relational mythos offers.
