Humanity has become increasingly polarised, unbalanced and addicted to instant-hit pleasures which cannot sustain us. We have lost our centre.
While there is much that is wrong with organised religion, human nature needs a core; a perennial wisdom; in order to hold itself balanced and to stand in the light. This is vital both for our own healing and the World’s. Without religion, it must be myth.
Kabbalah & the Cry for Myth examines the archetypes and truths held within the patterns of the Universe and the great stories of humanity. Myth is not fantasy; it is the eternal wisdom that helps lead us from our egoic selves through our shadow to a profound and comforting truth that supports life rather than death.
Myth is much more important and true than history. History is just journalism and you know how reliable that is — Joseph Campbell.
The ego defines itself by attachments and revulsions. What it hates more than anything else is to change—when the present situation isn’t working or is horrible, we do more and more of what does not work leading to addiction. Myth teaches what does work.
This is a day of stories to work with the healing archetypes within each of us. There is only one great story: construction, deconstruction, reconstruction, but it comes in many casings from the crucifixion and resurrection to Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. It’s hinted at in our modern superhero movies but when the hero must be violent to win, the message is distorted.
Who do you think you are? The Warrior? The Healer? The Martyr, The Trickster? The Queen? The Hero? The Lover? The Sage? The Victim? And who are you really?
