Importance of stories in spiritual communities!

[MarkusSweden]

Spirituality can be somewhat dry after a while, too technical in a way. 

We like to cut the BS and go strait to the bone, that's great, the direct path so to speak. 

On a contrary, we need storytelling as well. It's a great way to communicate truth sub consciously. 

Legends, myth, fiction, fairy tails can all raise above any conventional teachings.

A fictious story can communicate truth more effective then facts and anecdotes taken from reality. 

Stories can highjack our conscious mind, and we become highly involved due to excitement, intelligent dialogue, great dramaturgy. 

Great stories put us in a state of alert presence which is a great window into the listener/reader that the story use to tell secrets and spiritual truths sub consciously. 

Prabhaker tell stories sometimes, we all should be better at that. 

I'm from a nordic country and one of our fellow neighbours in Scandinavia, namely Iceland has great tradition with mythology, old Icelandic stories, fictious godly and spiritual characters.

Their storytelling tradition, often from mouth to mouth, is more important then anything else in the Icelandic culture. 

Maybe that's why they seem so happy and calm. They have better contact with higher enlightened realms. 

If you have a short story to tell with spiritual significance, please share it!
