I agree with you. I think we need mores and morals to hold our cultures together, but we need a new larger myth to embrace us all, as so many of our mores and morals come from the "old" religions. I agree with Joseph Campbell that we need a new myth that will encompass the planet and from which, perhaps, we can develope a new morality, which most of the inhabitants of this planet can accept(you'll never get everyone to agree, but it would be nice to have some sort of Geneva convention on behavior and morality.) It is the old hawks and doves thing from ecology. I want people to be doves, but there has to be a system in place to check the hawks, and I think morality does this. But morality doesn't have to be repressive, imo, it could lead to the wonderous feelings and positive potentials you speak of. We jsut have found that new morality yet, but I hope we do.
