The combat begins when you ask yourself: Who am I? The greatest act of heroism is having the courage to discover who you are and what you would like to be. That fight is between the conscious and the unconscious, the rational and the irrational. It is violent at times and only saved by those who bet on the joy or bliss of being what one innately craves for oneself. There is man as part of Nature; in consonance with the universe and the Creator. Then there is a new humankind created by man without His help. All the mythologies are meant to warn and give advice, but even more, they remain effective and pertinent throughout time if the advice is not followed. People who forget their history tend to repeat the same mistakes and continually pay the same consequences.
Nowadays, the ancient myth of the combat between Theseus and the Minotaur evokes the development of GMO and the desire of making men into docile machines. The practice of modifying the DNA of humans to enhance our bodies to do specific tasks and to obey without protesting becomes our new nature. It is the same as bulls; used as machines in agriculture, eaten as food, and used as offerings to the gods at the altar. On that same roll mankind is becoming from a subject to object of the offering. We are arriving into a new era where things are interchangeable; animal parts into the human body and the body itself produced in a lab instead of the process nature has giving us. The bull is being placed in a new labyrinth to begin a combat between the divine nature and a new hybrid nature created by the man himself.
