David O'Rose replied to Depth Alliance's discussion Join the current "Depth Discussion": Does our culture have a "living myth"?
"Perhaps our myth is that we have no myth. We are riding the oceans on a whale and we don't see the whale which carries us. Then again we may not need to be conscious of the whale. Just hang on for dear life and enjoy the ride."

And fell down hungry. Saltwater came from his eyes,
And he turned over and…"

"Beyond the oscillating pendulum of collective revolution and fundamentalism lies the individual call to a consciousness which would integrate both. Horus would be as popular as Christ to this morsel of a man who has been elected. Incremental steps…"

David O'Rose replied to John R White's discussion Robert Langs and the Problem of Death Anxiety
"My understanding is that Jung came to the conclusion that the deep psyche is not very concerned with death, that it even tends to ignore it. This is derived from his study of people's dreams as they approach death. Jung's "fear" that his doctor…"
