Living Mythos

<p>As we consider the unfolding conditions of our lives through a mythological filter archetypal qualities of behavior recognizably manifest. This empowers us to infuse value and meaning into our lives that are relevant to our personal experience.<br />Nietzsche understood this process to be essential in the development of his Overman. Carl Jung called this process of bringing unconscious qualities of behavior into consciousness individuation.</p><p>Building on the structure of elementary ideas—the universal symbolism that transcends cultural and spiritual landscapes—Living Mythos presents a compelling alternative to the “dependency doctrines” of modern tradition and it inspires us to imagine a tomorrow in which we have reclaimed the spiritual nature of our thoughts.</p><p>Through an exploration of Norse mythology and the influence of Indo-European shamanism we may begin to understand the mythological worldview as a form of ancient psychology designed to awaken us to our inherent potential to create and become our own unique living mythos.</p>
