It’s interesting to look at how each eradigm of thought influences how we create definitions and explanations for experience. I was looking at this in terms of mental health and how each set of attitudes influences the interpretations and treatment
Experimental lettuce crops on the other side of the fence. The guard lets us in to my surprise. Further in there’s a barn, work tables, wood, nails, tools for building. The people “in charge” arrive. I ask the woman if she would explain what they ar
So, I was having a discussion with my family in NYC about myths and about rigidification into ideologies. I think Craig had said that myths were not taken literally at first but that then would sometimes become rigid ideologies.
Graig I am so sorry I couldn’t follow the group journey more regularly due to extensive travel. Your Course is excellent, thank you, and inspired amazing sharing. Very grateful! It will for long feed my imagination and fertilize my “soul
Earthrise is the ideal image to end this particular program on. I agree wholeheartedly with Joseph Campbell that the image reminds us that there is no division and that we are united in our planetary destiny.
I'm from NYC so this day is always a sad day for me on a personal level. NYC the first victim in the modern war on terror. Last night Obama made his speech and it looks like we're off to more war in the same war. More concerning to me is the brewing

I’ve been grappling with Margaret Wheatley’s quote asking if we can be overwhelmed, exhausted, etc. and still be the ones reweaving the web. I’m thinking about how we support each other through this time. It’s very uncomfortable to still be dependent
I've grown up in church most of my life, so the Christian myth is very much ingrained into my DNA. As I approached college age, my interest in the myth began to morph. Some of the rituals seemed archaic and outdated to me, and soon I, like many of my
Craig implied that Obama's response to the beheading of the journalists was an example of the immaturity of leadership. I am curious about what alternative responses would be. What would a response be in keeping with an earthrise eradigm?
Today Craig suggested creating "circles" to do mythological activism through.
It just so happens I was doing some research this afternoon and tripped over these two audio presentations related to the idea of "circles." I haven't had a cha
-I believe that the old myths (thesis) usually generate counter myths (antitheses) that unfold to the new myth (synthesis) in a swinging seesaw kind of unfolding movement where the way is being paved into that new Paradigm. Both on col
As I listen to Craig going through all of the "coincidences" between the Apollo space mission and the number 13, I wonder here which came first: the mission or the name? Does one influence the other? For example, had this mission been named Hermes 9?
The wounded healer archetype may assist us in uncovering what is hidden and repressed—the shadow. The shadow energies represent an invitation for greater consciousness and living more ethically. The uncovering process is generally painful and intense
I apologize for my lack of introduction and participation during this webinar. My time and energies have been occupied with a family health crises...it is feeling calmer now. I have been enjoying the webinars and conversations...blowing my mind a lit
