People's beliefs - what they believe to be literally true - have been manipulated and controlled by institutions of power, particularly institutions of government and religion, throughout history. When people believe a story to be true, it can function as a mobilizing and orienting story, a Religious Myth, which tells them who they are and why they do what they do. The most powerful Religious Myths, such as Christianity, have also turned out to be myths in the pejorative sense; that is, they have turned out to be based on falsehoods.
The idea of Religious Myths is central to the connection between the past and the present; for people's beliefs are just as important in the world today as they have ever been. And as it turns out, the biggest Religious Myth in the world today, the Official Account of 9/11, is no more true than the pejorative myths of history. An understanding of 9/11, and the road we have taken to get to it, links our time to history, and it can be seen that we have learned almost nothing from it, for we are making all the same mistakes again.
