<p>We are faced with a new human condition. Fuelled by the&nbsp;revolutionary possibilities of technology dissolving the traditional&nbsp;borders that once defined life, conflicts are evolving with an&nbsp;overwhelming complexity. This calls for us to face a new responsibility&nbsp;towards life, not just for ourselves, and our immediate local&nbsp;surroundings, but also for the balance of our planet as a global&nbsp;society.&nbsp;</p><p>Myths of antiquity have a unique ability to explain complex&nbsp;aspects of existence through dramatic narratives and dense visual&nbsp;language. &lsquo;A Mythology on our Current Condition of Life&rsquo; follows&nbsp;this approach by using myth as a way to navigate and comprehend&nbsp;our complex contemporary life. Unfolding through five books, the&nbsp;Goddesses of Wisdom, Pleasure, War, Love and Balance, each&nbsp;explore a fundamental aspect of existence, seeking to understand&nbsp;their responsibilities in relation to the critical changes of the global&nbsp;era.</p><p><em>The Yellow Book - Ode to Balance</em>&nbsp; is the fifth and last book in&nbsp;the series. The book begins with a Goddess of Balance, who is placed on her throne to rule a world of scales that exist to create&nbsp;Harmony in our lives. Her muscles are tight and she clings tensely&nbsp;to her throne, because these scales stretch in all directions and&nbsp;seem endless; every time one moves or changes, a new one must&nbsp;be created to bring the unbalanced into balance again. A heavy&nbsp;burden. One day, She sees that despite her efforts, things are so&nbsp;out of balance that the point of equilibrium has been completely&nbsp;lost. And so she falls from her throne, only to find Herself mirrored&nbsp;in the yellow golden material that her scales are made of.Seeing Herself for the first time as a human, she realises that her&nbsp;task of creating harmony will never be fulfilled as long as our&nbsp;perception of balance is static. So she melts down all of her scales&nbsp;into one big golden mirror, and begins learning how to navigate in&nbsp;balance, and understand it genuinely.</p>
