The transcendent truths these myths point to are the truths of our own nature, for there’s nothing ‘out there.’ And it is the religious myths themselves that prime us for this realization. God’s birth in the world as the Christ, Brahman’s self-creation through the cosmic egg, Karora’s rise within his own dream, Nainema’s incursion into his own vision, all illustrate the self-referential nature of reality and, therefore, the internal character of truth.
