THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MYTHOLOGICAL AND SUPERNATURAL IS TIME

Mythological refers to imaginary stuff in the past......Supernatural refers to imaginary stuff in the present........

 'Mythological refers to imaginary stuff in the past......Supernatural refers to imaginary stuff in the present.......'

Wouldn't it then follow that shinrin-yoku/forest bathing is a tacit agreement of same (supernatural/imaginary stuff in the present).

The forest is not imaginary, nor are the Human physiological and psychological responses to physical phenomena......I see, I hear, I touch, I smell, I feel......I think....

And hasn't the experience of the human response to the physical phenomena, forest in this instance, evolved into a veneration/worship of sorts? What then is veneration? Human imagination?

There is profound appreciation and reverence, which is deep respect.....veneration and worship doesn't come into it at all.....Surely you know the difference......

Reverence vs Veneration - What's the difference?

As nouns the difference between reverence and veneration is that reverence is veneration; profound awe and respect, normally in a sacred context while veneration is the act of venerating or the state of being venerated.

As a verb, reverence is to show reverence. (wiki)

Surely you know the difference ......

I don't know what your problem is here, why you can't understand the difference between someone worshipping a Supernatural being and appreciating Nature......You sound like you want it to be the same....Reverence and Veneration are sometime used interchangeably, but I'm telling you how I use it and you seem to not believe me or something.......I base my use of "reverence" on the 1965 book by painter Eric Sloane, called "Reverence for Wood".......My husband and I were building a wooden house and wooden boats and wooden sculptures at the time.......

Practicing deep awareness of one's surroundings in the present moment has nothing to do with worshipping or even acknowledging a Supernatural being.......
