What is your myth? Do you live it?
Myths must be kept alive. The people who can keep it alive are the artists of one kind or another. . . For it is the artist who brings the images of mythology to manifestation, & without images (whether mental or visual) there is no mythology.
Joseph campbell

mythIC IMAGES ARE THE STEPPINGSTONES we follow as we navigate & create our lives
to live our myth is to live OUR life
Myths can create or destroy us as individuals & a world,
depending upon whether we make them conscious or not.
We live in our myths.

Everybody acts out a myth, but very few people know what their myth is. And you should know what your myth is because it might be a tragedy and maybe you don't want it to be. . . the collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images.
C G Jung

We need myths that will help us to identify with all our fellow-beings, not simply with those who belong to our ethnic, national or ideological tribe. We need myths that help us to realize the importance of compassion, which is not always regarded.

I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth,' & indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode, & long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered & must reappear.
J. r. r. tolkien


A living myth grows
Before Jung entered an intensive period of soul exploration and creation (TRB), his soul asked him what myth he lived or "does man live nowdays," and he reflected "we no longer have any myth." Yet, Jung said: "Myth is the natural & indispensable intermediate stage between unconscious and conscious." We need myth and mythologizing (creating myth) to evolve consciousness & live.
The question of what myth we live individually and collectively guides us to discover and create a living myth to live by.. So like Jung, we integrate dreams, play, synchronicity, fantasy, yoga, journaling, active imagination and intuition as we travel on this mythic journey. As we travel, we return to a past where we were "still linked by myth with the world of the ancestors, and thus with nature truly experienced and not merely from the outside." Our return resurrects myths from the unconscious to confront our shadows and choose our fate, as Jung said:
"Myths which day has forgotten continue to be told by night.''"
As we confront a dark night of the soul, torn asunder, we remember that it was in perceiving the archetypal wholeness of unity consciousness (in a mandala) that Jung transcended the false boundaries of material separation by identifying with a larger global and cosmic whole.
"The need for mythic statements is satisfied when we frame a view of the world which adequately explains the meaning of human existence in the cosmos, a view which springs from our psychic wholeness, from the co-operation between the conscious and unconscious." C G Jung

Myth
supernatural characters
Legends
heroes from history
Fairytales
magic & lessons
Folktales
realistic & unwritten
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
robert jordan
Myth is inclusive
Blending elements of legends, fairytales and folktales (which are already blended), we create a myth as our story, combining all of the elements in one myth:
- magic and realistic, secular and religious
- dualistic and unifying, destructive and creative
- historic and imagined, past and future
- multicultural and transdisciplinary (include anything)
- The keep is to follow your soul's intuition

Myths do not happen all at once. They do not spring forth whole into the world. They form slowly, rolled between the hands of time until their edges smooth, until the saying of the story given enough weight to the words--to the memories. [We create myths together]
V E Schwab

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge... myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
robert fulghum


The Value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity.

mythic Revolution
Create your myth to overcome oppression
myths evolve
Example: Jesus
First depicted as a child in nature surrounded by animals and holding a shepherds staff like Hermes, Jesus became the image of a bearded Zeus on his throne.
Myths politicize
Example: nations
All national myths create a sense of superiority and manifest destiny through symbolic narratives to reinforce the belief that they are chosen and justified.
Myths demonize
Example: women
Myths evolve over thousands of years, bridging cultures and marking social evolution. So past women of power are often changed into baby eating demons in myth.
The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it--aliens. [It is time to become one with it]
Alan watts

Is it not time that the Christian mythology, instead of being wiped out, was understood symbolically?

Myths are the world's dreams. They are archetypal dreams and deal with great human problems. Myths and dreams come from the same place. They come from the realizations of some kind that then have to find expression in symbolic form. Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.
