I was contemplating starting another list dealing with the link between culture and genesis stories like the "Popol Vuh." I wanted to collect and archive these stories and establish a discussion group to promote a better understanding of indigenous peoples around the world. I see it as a multi-layered discussion of the better known genesis stories such as the Judeo-Christian Genesis (which of course differs enormously according to the text you are studying Bible, Torah, Sepher Ha Zohar, Sepher Ha Bahir), a real effort to understand other cultures by collecting and archiving their stories of origin (the main archive) and a comparative discussion of shared aspects between the cultural senses of orgin. The problem is that this does really fit either listserver which I am currently using, although the University of Toronto has vast libraries of religious texts and texts on religion. This list might be accompanied by another list dealing with one aspect of my current list, alternative medical treatments which seems to be at odds with the medical establishment. The two lists would constitute an effort to democratize the internet by giving the cultures currently forgotten by the high tech revolution an enduring mode of expression. Does something like this already exist? Is there a listserver which shares these interests?--Paul. -- Dr. Paul S. di Virgilio, University of Toronto [log in to unmask]
