You are the Hero of your Own Mythic Adventure
Reclaim and re-kindle your mythic awareness... nothing could be more vital
hey family,
just a quick note, as Im currently re-marinading myself in the work of Joseph Campbell… and the “Hero’s Journey”….
which on a deeper level is about reclaiming our mythic and mystical intelligence… which has been threatened by the rational, literal, consumerist culture we were raised in...
It’s about living deeply spiritual and sacred lives, without needing religion. Its about claiming the myth of our lives… because the fact is…
We are mythic beings on our own Heroic Quest 🙏🏾
Our first heroic quest was to be born... to incarnate into a body, and leave the nourishment and safety of the womb to enter into a world where we are a separate being that must breathe and feed... and ever since them been on quest after quest after quest.
It's powerful to trace the mythology of our lives... to cut beneath the literal and time-bound, visible world... and MAKE the meaning we want out of all our life experiences... to find the alchemical gold, sculpt it, and CLAIM IT.
Otherwise.. we run the risk of living a bland, uni-dimensional, time-enslaved life of doing this, that and the other, never getting beyond the narrow confines of our conditioned thinking mind... always measuring our existence in comparison to other people...
... never unleashing the true power of our imaginative and mythic intelligence... and dying, having never lived through our imagination.
Non-mythical life is bland… boring, mundane, profane… the Sacred is merely a concept.
The mythical alternative is to perceive & claim the splendour and epicness of your own soul-journey as it goes through its arc of transformation and expansion…. the sacred becomes your living reality…
..multi-dimensionality becomes your default mode…
… you find meaning in EVERYTHING…. and you can understand the arc of your life and where we are collectively at as a culture through mature, wise, soulful, loving eyes…
Im not sure if you are on my Instagram, but I shared a video on this today.
love you, JT
