@Ntrllghts Thanks for going deeper, it’s making the story resonate even more. What made you want to bring that question of living-for-another into the mythic frame?
@Ntrllghts I can see how that non-religious exploration of “becoming one” and true giving weaves so powerfully into Achael & Korae’s nearness/distance theme.
@Ntrllghts That’s profound, Christ confronting empty religion, the real cost of laying down your life not just in death but in daily living for another... it flips the script on sacrifice.
@Ntrllghts Thanks for sharing that insight, really deepens the story. What made you want to weave in that "becoming like Christ" idea without the religious framing? #MythicFantasy#WritingCommunity
@Ntrllghts That’s fascinating, superimposition and becoming one with the divine, but explored in a non religious, mythic way. It adds such rich layers to the nearness or distance theme in Achael & Korae.
Thanks again @barrymaher for the reposts & likes, really appreciate you sharing the audiobook idea.
