Mythomania – Our Truth is not a Lie
Mythomania – Our Truth is not a Lie

Summary/Abstract: Ever since the times we can refer to, we notice that man has been actively and condescendingly related to his suffering fellow, particularizing the patient in its ontic integrity – body, spirit, immortal soul – and not the disease. In short, there are patients and not diseases! Later, the same man, caring for the fate of his fellow man and the community, identified a disease of the spirit that changed the man into a kind of “inventor” of new, unreal, utopian facts. When these new facts – utopias were hidden among allegories and metaphors and the religious industry (the oldest type of corporate society) was “thought out”, while the man personified and invaded the sky, the situation became complicated and the man in question was declared ill – mythomaniac. Much later other people introduced the concept of intellectual lucidity among “seven other distinctive signs, of the man who “trusts the invitation of God”. Indeed!? We need a neuro-psychiatric certificate to justify our faith! We specify that we neither intend to analyze the “religious creativity of modern societies”, nor to outline the ideational path of the “logic of religion”. In this article we aim at identifying and introducing the roots and consequences of lying with the hidden pathological features of the human being that relate to transcendence, taking as a basis for research the text of the Bible. Here we will approach the following aspects: the falsehood in interpersonal relationships, falsehood related to Otherness and the father of lies – the one we have to beware of . In order to emphasize the pathology in question, we chose as an epistemological novelty to alternate the biblical quotations with text excerpts, personally collected from the newspaper Lupta Moldovei, a journalistic publication of Soviet propaganda, which was meant to work in the consciousness of our people to form the new ideological man. In short, we present good and evil, truth and falsehood. The reader will decide if we have succeeded.
