    Extractions: Charles William Johnson The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. But, there is another state that has become recognized as that of plasma. William Crookes (1879) identified this fourth state of matter, plasma. "Ionized gas", plasma, was first used by Dr.Irving Langmuir in 1929, although he introduced the concept in 1923.. Plasmas are basically independent of their chemical properties and are defined more by their densities and relational temperatures in terms of conservation of energy, momentum laws, and the behavior of their electrons. Number densities or the number per unit volume (n) and their kinetic temperature (T) are thus defined for each of the particles present therein. Natural plasmas are cited as being the Sun, the interstellar space, the intergalactic space, the Earth (planets), Metals, etc. In a sense, then, there is hardly any matter left in the Universe that does not exist as a plasma according to scientists today. The significance, then, of any numbers related to the composition of plasma would be extremely significant to our studies. And, there is one particular number regarding plasmas that has caught our eye. The aspect regarding plasmas as a state of matter-energy concerns that of its high density, which is shown to reflect

    Extractions: Last Updated: Wednesday, December 8, 1999 South American Mythology Although the gods are split into Inca and pre-Inca, there are civilizations which had no writing and if they affected any of the people who followed them, no one gives these predecessors credit. It is likely that most of the Inca's skill in pottery, cultivation of maize and stoneworking came from these prior civilizations. Living for more than a millenium in the costal desert areas of south Peru, they are famous for the more than 100 huge drawings of birds, animals, and geometric shapes into the hard coastal desert floor. Some people speculate this means visitation by U.F.O's. It actually means that Nizca's were drawing pictures which only their gods could see (where are the gods?...up there, a universal human response). And actually Nizcams themselves may have been able to see with sharp eyes these scupltures from surrounding mountains. To draw something without being able to actually see it from the view you are are sketching it from is no remarkable skill for intelligent people. On a lesser scale, some people are amazed when they fly over Christian churches and find that they are all in the shape of a cross. Perhaps the builders of these churches had help from U.F.O.'s

    http://www.mythome.org/NorthAm.html
    
    Extractions: Last Updated: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 Briefly,about 10,000 years B.C.E a group of nomadic tribesmen left central east Asia and crossed the ice-capped Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska. Some settled in North America and were subsequently named 'Eskimos' and 'Red Indians' by the European colonists. The rest moved south to Central and South America to eventually become Mayas, Incas, Aztecs and other historically famous Amerindian nations. There is some evidence for a migration from Siberia via boats. And there is scholars who argue that the migration was north from South America who were colonized by Asian sea farers from Siberia, Japan (Ainsu), China, and the South Seas islands. Then, around 2500 years B.C.E., a group of Amerindians, the Arawaks, left their homes on the banks of the Orinoco River in South America. They travelled by rafts in dangerous seas, taking with them small animals, plants and seeds. One of the Caribbean islands they landed on was Dominica. Here they lived peacefully for almost 1,000 years until they were invaded and conquered by another group of Amerindians, the Caribs. Over the years the two cultures and languages became fused and their simple life-style based on fishing and the sea continued peacefully until the fifteenth century, when a new set of conquerors from Europe discovered the Caribbean.

    Extractions: The Creation of Mankind according to Hopi tradition: Spider woman gathered the earth , this time of four colors, yellow, red, white and black; mixed with tuchvala, the liquid of her mouth; molded them; and covered her white-substance cape, which was creative wisdom itself. She sang over them the creation song. When she uncovered them, these forms were the image of Sotuknang. Then she created four more in her own image. They were wuti, female partners for the first four male beings. When she uncovered them they came to life. This is just one myth from the hundreds of different beliefs to how and where Native Americans have come from. I hope that you enjoyed the Hopi Indian creation myth. !!!

    http://www.ithaca.edu/students/breynol1/american.html
    
    Extractions: The perfect family is a cultural construction; it consists of two parents and lovable kids living in a cozy home with a white picket fence. We all experience an ultimate desire for this unattainable ideal because it is a part of our common culture. This is dangerous because it forces people to strive for something that can rarely be achieved, and in doing so threatens to psychologically destroy those who attempt to conform. For example, the life of Norman Rockwell demonstrates this perfectly. His desire to be anything other than what he was growing up - that is, living in the city and facing the harsh realities of life - forced him to live in a delusional world. He wanted his perfect family. While losing himself in his dream world and artwork, Rockwell's wife, who was forced into the role of the “ideal” woman/mother, was drawn into alcoholism and finally a suffered a nervous breakdown.

    http://home.earthlink.net/~wchess/ncuu/archives/AMERICAN_MYTHOLOGY.htm
    
    Extractions: AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY: IN POLITICS AND RELIGION by ROBERT E. WILLOUGHBY I have a vivid memory of an evening spent in the home of a man and his wife who had been my mentors and an inspiration while I was a young student at Yale Divinity School, preparing for the ministry. That evening, he and his wife literally unfolded their lives to me in the conversation and storytelling that ensued. There were repeated phrases like, “Do you remember?” ... and “We used to” ... and “I’ll never forget ...“ I realize now that it was not just storytelling. It was the sharing of personal mythology. It’s how we make sense out of our lives and give events significance. it parallels the myth-making of the human racethe ritual of remembering. It parallels the great themes of the myths of religion and national and ethical life. These myths often contain universal themes that tie us to all humanitypast, present, and future. But there are also myths that have ossified, are dying and no longer speak to a present time because they have tried to perpetuate loyalty to a petrified tradition, to sanctified stupidity and muddled thinking. If there is a theme for this message it is this. Some myths are dying. Some myths remain because they are as old and basic as life itself. Some new myths are being born, about what it will mean to live in one interconnected global community. All people throughout history have had a mythology, legendary stories and narratives attempting to explain their ideals, beliefs, history, and origins. These myths have also centered in their heroes and religious beliefs. The American Indians spoke of a Great Spirit at work in all of nature. Asian myths spoke of how a people came to be. Greek myths told stories of gods and goddesses who symbolized the functions of nature and of life.

The Origin of the Iroquois Nations Iroquois About 1390, today's State of New York became the stronghold of five powerful Indian tribes. They were later joined by another great tribe, the Tuscaroras from the south. Eventually the Iroquois, Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, and Cayugas joined together to form the great Iroquois Nation. In 1715, the Tuscaroras were accepted into the Iroquois Nation. The Five Nations Long, long ago, one of the Spirits of the Sky World came down and looked at the earth. As he travelled over it, he found it beautiful, and so he created people to live on it. Before returning to the sky, he gave them names, called the people all together, and spoke his parting words:

36. American Mythology
    It is the mission of this book to expose and debunk some of the moreprevalent myths of accepted American history. This is a fun book.  
    http://www.amprpress.com/AmMyth.htm
    
    Extractions: Unlike every other book or manuscript that we offer this is the only one that is neither theological nor scriptural in its subject matter. It deals exclusively with issues of secular history. However like all the others it is written in the interest of truth. Errors creep into secular history as easily as they creep into men's theology. And once fossilized and accepted as history they acquire a mythological status that raises them above criticism as it were. It is the mission of this book to expose and debunk some of the more prevalent myths of accepted American history. This is a fun book. It is interesting and fascinating reading. It shows us that as far as history is concerned " political correctness " has been with us for centuries. It demonstrates the fiction of many of the famous episodes in American history and replaces it with the facts. This book would entertain anyone with an interest in history and one need not be an armchair historian to enjoy it. It would be especially of benefit to home-schoolers. After all if your going to reject the public schools and their canned curriculum why not do the job right? And unfortunately most of the home school curriculums parrot the historic myths with great fervor. Traditionalism wins out over truth! The book includes chapters on the following subjects and more… - Who really discovered America Plymouth Rock -The actual first settlements in North America.

A mythology is simply a story of some sort which has emotional, cultural, moral or ethical value to a nation. Taken broadly, then, American mythology can include any narrative which has contributed to the shaping of American values and belief systems. These narratives may be true and may be false; the veracity of the stories is not a determining factor.
