The adventures of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland excited us as children.  They were more than just good stories.  They were filled with symbolism that consciously was cute but unbelievable.  However, they were profoundly appealing stories on a subconscious level and to this day delight many children and adults.  Leaving the Never-Never Land of childhood did not mean we left our psyche behind.  Mythology for the adults fills theaters, sports stadiums, and books.  And most of all, it permeates the churches and synagogues of our land.  As Carl Jung said, “modern man continues to respond to profound psychic influences of a kind that, consciously, he dismisses as little more than the folk tales of superstitious and uneducated peoples.[1]  Logically, our twentieth-century mind doesn’t want to subscribe to two-thousand old superstitions, but something still attracts the masses.  Myths make religion possible—arousing both conscious and unconscious reactions.  Nevertheless, their appeal to our dual-nature mind does not mean there is any more truth to them than Peter or Alice.
