I keep wondering about this idea of needing technology to replace us. No longer must we rely on remembering anything, it is all in our hand (cell phone) and soon to be on our wrist (Google watch) or in our clothing (coming to a store near you). What

I heard your dream on the taped version and wanted to share my thought.
It reminded me of the somewhat recent movie "The Life of Pi."
The premise being that a young man is stuck in the middle of the ocean with a dangerous tiger and they le

I feel drawn to share this dream which I had a week ago - after the sharing and discussion on yesterday's call about dreams that contain content related to personal and collective issues.
This dream I call "Over the cliff"

Just a reminder about the proposals, and a last msg to thank you all for making this new Certificate in Applied Mythology such a success! It has been deeply gratifying to see what you have done with this material to bring it to life and a
Whether recognized or not, there is a battle of the sexes going on right now in the western world. It doesn't get mainstream media attention per se, primarily because of its polarizing qualities and the modern social pressures to be politically corre

Hello dear classmates!
As I contemplate my write-up, I wonder what you might be thinking. If you're willing to share, this would be enlightening for me. My plan was to focus on the use of the myth of Inanna to address the problem of the new high risk
