Aurbis vs Wheel

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:11 pm

The Mythic Aurbis is surely a dumbed-down summary of the universe and godhead meant simply to explain the differences in realms by speaking of them in terms of arbitrary barriers or walls of separation. How then is that different from the Wheel? If anything, the Wheel is more allegorical than Mythic Aurbis, but at least here on the lore forums the Wheel is given more clout in arguments and debates. I'm not doubting the validity of the Wheel, mostly because it seems to be an all-inclusive theory, but it is treated very literally on these forums, which surprises me considering that the universe cannot exist in the form of a wheel. Or is this just another issue of mythic Form? Also, are the spaces in between the spokes representative of the Void? Padhome? I haven't read the The Tower in awhile, and I can't remember if MK wanted the empty spaces to be Sithis Void or just some dark matter idea of pure nothing. And does the Aurbis exist within the Wheel paradigm? by name I mean.

'The Mythic Aurbis' vs 'The Wheel' seems a strange pairing; the Mythic Aurbis isn't a model, it's a story. Maybe 'The Egg-shaped Universe' vs 'The Wheel'?
