Living Mythos: The Art of Self-Realization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781504391337)

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.
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.

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.

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.
